Chapter 41 Gifts

Liang Jiugong raised his voice: "Come on, third-class guard Cao Yong will meet you!"

Another eunuch at the entrance of the study room continued: "Biography, the third-class guard Cao Yong will meet you!"

The little eunuch at the door lifted the curtain, Cao Yong lowered his head and walked in. When he first entered the door, there was a screen, and there were several chairs behind the screen, and there was a door on his right hand. Two little eunuchs stood at the door. It seemed that there was the place where the emperor summoned him.

After entering the right room, Cao Yong shook his sleeves in front of the threshold and knelt down: "Long live the slave Cao Yong, long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live

Kangxi couldn't help but smile and said, "I asked you to speak, come forward and reply!"

"Zhe!" Cao Yong responded, got up and walked forward a few steps.

"Your father wrote a memorial in February and said he would send you to Beijing as a businessman. I asked about it the first few days. I remember you are younger than the fifteenth prince. Is this year sixteen or fifteenth?" Kangxi asked.

"When I say that, I am sixteen years old, fourteen years old, and nine months old!" Cao Yong replied respectfully. If you don't say you are nervous, it is a lie. The person in front of you has the power of life and death.

Kangxi nodded: "It's really hard for you to work in Beijing at such a young age! I heard that you were mourning for your grandmother in the temple two years ago. His heart is commendable, and it's worthless for the old lady to love you for years!" I wonder if Kangxi remembered the deceased nanny Cao Sun or sighed that he did not have such filial children and grandchildren, and he was a little silent for a while.

I don’t know if this is a compliment. Kangxi didn’t ask questions, Cao Yong couldn’t interrupt, and the atmosphere in the room was a bit cold for a while.

After a while, Kangxi said again, "I heard you give gifts to the elder brother's office." At this point, his voice became sharp: "Well, how could I remember to give gifts to the Thirteenth Prince, it's snake oil again!"

"If you go back to Master Long Live, I was in trouble when I was young. If the Fourth Prince and Thirteenth Prince had not helped me, I would have been afraid that my life would have been gone long ago. I will always remember this kindness." Cao Yong was prepared for a long time and was not scared by Kangxi's voice.

Although this incident is old, Kangxi still remembers it: "Since you remember the two great kindnesses of the Fourth Prince and the Thirteenth Prince, why didn't you go to the Fourth Prince's Mansion to pay tribute after entering Beijing?"

Cao Yong sighed in his heart, "It's amazing. It's just yesterday that he asked someone to give gifts to the prince. Kangxi has found out his whereabouts in the past few days: "If you go back to Master Long Live, although I have entered the palace to serve on duty, I dare not act casually. The court has orders that foreign ministers are not allowed to make friends with princes. I am willing to go to the Fourth Prince's Mansion to pay tribute, but I am afraid of being implicated in the father of my servant, so I dare not go."

Kangxi said thoughtfully: "It's good to know how to be cautious, but you don't have to be too constrained. Whether you ask you to comment on calligraphy or talk about business, it's okay to go. If there is anything new, I'll tell you to me next time!"

"I obey the order!" Cao Yong finally waited for this sentence and responded very happily, and was also sad for the princes. Those little moves and thoughts were not hidden from the long live King.

Kangxi picked up a palm-sized porcelain bottle from the small table on the kang: "You indicated on the gift list of Thirteen that this thing can cure rheumatism, but it does have this effect?

Cao Yong replied: "This thing is snake oil essence, which is made of Fujian Mountain snake oil. It is originally a recipe for removing wetness. My father was rheumatoid and the effect was good when he used this thing. This time, I brought two bottles of it and wanted to give it to my elders in my relatives' family. Unexpectedly, I accidentally learned that the Thirteenth Prince was suffering from dampness, so I didn't dare to hide my own eyes, so I asked someone to send two bottles of snake oil essence to my prince's house."

Things happened too quickly. When Guishan brought long-term reactions, everything fell into the ground with dust. The leaders of them checked Guishan's injuries, and the others yelled in anger and surrounded Cao Yong.
