On February 12th, the emperor returned from Tangquan Palace to Changchun Garden.

Regarding the incident of the Cao family on the eighth day of the second month, many people heard some news, but they were not true. However, the subsequent decrees of the court gave the speculation direction.

Fang Baikui, a Fujian tycoon who was originally active in the capital, has been arrested by the Ministry of Justice for accusation of having an affair with pirates, and his property and money in Beijing were confiscated into officials. If the crime is implemented, it will not be just a matter of money, but I am afraid that it will be inevitable that the family will be confiscated.

Who doesn’t know that Fang Baikui is the minion of the Ninth Prince. Now he is very nervous and takes huge sums of money to get involved in bidding in the Office of the Internal Affairs.

In the past few days, several merchants who could not stand have borrowed tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of dollars from Fang Baikui. Now, they dare not be at all grateful.

Even if the Fang family goes in, it would be strange if the Ninth Prince will be cheaper?

They were afraid of the Ninth Prince's power and did not dare not repay the money, but some people did not dare to ask for the money.

In fact, this is a headache for triangle debt.

The most unfair thing is the big money houses in the capital.

The money was borrowed by the Fang family under the banner of the Ninth Prince. The Fang family went in and the money was confiscated to the official position, but the money shop was leaping straight.

Those who are not strong in their backers can only cry and scold their parents; those who have backers can find their own masters and discuss and ask for money.

The Ninth Prince's Mansion was not allowed to stop, and people began to come to ask for money one after another.

The Ninth Prince was angry, but he didn't dare to be too tough, so he could only deal with it in a hurry.

After all, there is no force, who can do money business in the capital? It is either this royal palace or that royal family, including the industry of the Ninth Prince's mother tribe Guo Luoluo family.

How can the Ninth Prince deal with the deficit of four or five million taels of silver be dealt with?

While he was frustrated, he was thinking about how to get Fang Baikui out. Only by washing the Fang family’s charges can he protect the industry in the south of the Fang family. In this way, he could also fill the holes in the money house.

The Ministry of Justice was originally in charge of the Eighth Prince. Because the Eighth Prince has been silent in the past two years, a group of officials from the Ministry of Justice have been replaced.

Nowadays, I fear the Ninth Prince, but I dare not be favored. There is no reason, just because Kangxi personally inquired about this case. Who dares to make trouble? Isn’t that a death?

Although I don’t know what happened to the Cao family on the eighth day of the second month, no one can tell. The Cao family "fighted" with the Ninth Prince, and the Ninth Prince was naturally defeated.

The Ninth Prince has caused Fang Baikui to mess up the capital these days, which has made many people unable to see it. As a result, many people are gloating.

Since the eighth day of the second month, Cao Yong has taken sick leave and stayed in the door.

There are people who come to visit, and few people can see Cao Yong’s true face of Mount Lu, so few people know the truth.

The Ninth Prince, however, knew from A Ling's side that Cao Yin and his son were involved in the palace. But he didn't take it seriously before, and A Ling's story was also vague.

In Ah Ling's heart, she also felt that the wound on Cao Yong's face was the Ninth Prince's move. Although it was hard to say anything, she did not agree with the Ninth Prince's recklessness.

It is an old saying to hit someone but not the face, and to expose others but not the shortcomings.

Not to mention the identity of Emperor Cao Yong's grandson-in-law, he said that he raised tens of millions of taels of silver in March as the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to solve the emperor's urgent need. Before the reward of this credit, he was clearly beaten. What is this?

If the emperor doesn’t make decisions for him, wouldn’t it be a pity for other ministers?

When the Ninth Prince heard the news and knew that Cao Yong was "repaying" in the mansion, he knew something was wrong and asked A Ling in detail, he realized that there was something else.

"A bastard, you dare to frame me!" The Ninth Prince was furious and wanted to go to the palace immediately to find Kangxi to explain clearly.

However, he was stopped by the Eighth Prince and said, "No matter whether you took action or not, Cao Yong was injured. Now that you are in front of the imperial court, can you still take advantage of it? Ninth brother, let him go to the Fang family. The emperor took care of your face and only took the Fang family's approach, which was an explanation for the Cao family's father and son. I am afraid that in a few days, you will have to punish you. No matter what, bear it first."

"No, my starling..." The ninth prince said indignantly: "Cao Yong's little turtle, wasn't injured, but he walked over in front of me..."

"It turns out..." The Eighth Prince was quite surprised.

The ninth prince stamped his feet and said, "Can I still miss my brother? At that time, I was so angry that I didn't have a knife or a dagger on my body. Fang Baikui was a businessman again. At that time, only Shanduo had a knife around him and was stained with his blood. I thought it was too dirty and there was no time to pick it up? Cao Yong's injury was added by himself, in order to slander me in front of the Emperor Ama! The turtle, bullying people too much... I want to ask the Emperor Ama to make it clear that they are the crime of deceiving the emperor..."

"Slow down..." The Eighth Prince reached out to stop him again, frowned and said, "Cao Yin and his son have always been cautious. How could they give others such a handle? Perhaps there are other hidden stories, and they can't be prepared. After all, it was the Emperor Ama who was summoned privately. Except for Xiao Shiliu, no one was present, and they didn't know what their father and son said. The Ninth Brother went there rashly, which aroused the Emperor Ama's anger, but it was not worth the loss."

The Ninth Prince was so angry that he sat in the chair hard, patted the handle of the chair and said, "This can't be done, that can't be done, and that can't be done, so I can't be angry with this bird? Brother, if the Fang family can't be taken out, I will not only lose my face, but the holes of millions of taels of silver will fall on my younger brother. I am afraid that all the money I have saved in the past few years will be vomited out."

"I am losing money and eliminating disasters. The Emperor Ama is short of money, so he valued the Cao family so much. Ninth brother, a gentleman is not too late to take revenge. It is not that you have to wait for ten years. If the water is full, the Cao family will still be prosperous?" At this point, the eighth prince thought for a while and said, "I still have a silver there. It was sent by Nian Gengyao before the New Year. It is also a place to put it on. If the Ninth brother is tight, use it first."

The Ninth Prince waved his hand and said, "Is it possible to lose all my money? It's just thinking about a way to see where I can get some money..."

Xicheng, Cao Mansion, inner courtyard, northwest corner.

Cao Yong stood there, looking at the scene in front of him, with a smile on his face.

He has been organizing the construction of an amusement park for the children, but he has never had time to do it. These days he has been free, so he has settled his mind.

The address you chose is a corner of the garden.

Nowadays, there are Trojan horses, slides, seesaws, swings, saddle horses, and a single-door football goal. The swings and slides are all iron, but the handles are all covered with thick coarse cloth to prevent children from bumping.

Originally, Cao Yong wanted to play single and double bars and high bars, but he showed Chu Yu the sketch, but it caused Chu Yu to worry. He was afraid that the children would be young and would not know the severity of the seriousness of the matter when they became naughty, so they fell down again, so those two were denied by Cao Yong.

The place is really not big enough, otherwise he would have the urge to build a football field. It would be a pleasant thing to think about leading his sons to play football.

The amusement park was built, not only Tianyou, but also the little boys of Hengsheng and others were happy, but even Niu Niu, Xiangyu and the other girls were very happy. Before it was built, they told the fourth sister and Wuer, which attracted them to come and see it.

A few little boys started playing football.

Niu Niu greeted a few girls and played with seesaws, slides, etc.

Seven or eight children, plus the little maid and follower who have only been selected for the past two years, are like children's playground in front of them.

Cao Yong stood there, looking at the scene, feeling a little dazed.

He was not much older than these children when he first came here, and he was already in a blink of an eye.

Cao Yin stood aside, touched his beard and watched the younger generation play, and his face showed loving love.

"Tianyou is five years old and has become famous!" The old man looked at his grandson and somehow remembered this sentence.

Cao Yong's heart moved, turned around and asked, "Did you choose your name?"

According to the genealogy of the Cao family, the word "Yan" in the middle of Tianyou's generation was "Yan". When Cao Yong went to Yizhou to serve as a Taoist platform, he had two nephews Cao Yanxiao and Cao Yanwei among the clans who accompanied him.

Later, Cao Yong returned to Beijing, and the two of them returned to Jiangning.

After Cao Yin went north, Cao Yanxiao and his family followed each other, while Cao Yanwei was mourning in Jiangning because of his mother's death.

If we follow the rules, Tianyou's name should be chosen as a character and connected to "Yan".

Cao Yin thought for a while, but looked at the clear sky and said, "The rain and dew of the sky, the name of Tianyou, is called "Zong"!"

Cao Yong was stunned when he heard this.

I have been in this world for twenty years. Many things have become vague in my previous life, but Cao Yong dares not forget each other about "Cao Zheng".

Cao Zhen, whose courtesy name is Xueqin, left behind the immortal masterpiece "Dream of Red Mansions".

What's going on? I have worked hard until now, thinking about getting rid of the fate of raiding the house, and my son has become Cao Xueqin again?

Or is it just the same name? Xiao Xueqin's fate also changed with the fate of the Cao family?

"Father, although Tianyou is the eldest grandson of our branch, he has the word "Yan" in front of it. Shouldn't he be named according to that?" Cao Yong was shocked and expressed his doubts.

Cao Yin's eyes looked a little resentful, and sighed, "It's a long story. Since I have time to live today, I will tell you my father. Among them, there is your grandfather's unfulfilled wish."

The father and son walked to the study before Cao Yin talked about the past of the Cao family.

Cao Yong's grandfather Cao Xi was not Cao Zhenyan's parent-child, but the adopted son of the other branch. After arriving at Cao Zhenyan, he had already published a family tree and formed a small clan.

During his lifetime, Cao Xi took good care of the Fengrun tribe; in Cao Yin's generation, he had many contacts with the brothers there. Later, when he was compiling the genealogy, Cao Yin followed his father's last wish and wanted to return to his hometown with a branch in Jiangning, but was rejected by the patriarch of Fengrun.

After that, the exchanges between Jiangning and Fengrun Cao's family faded.

While speaking, Cao Yin looked a little lonely and said, "I am afraid it will be difficult for your grandfather to fulfill your grandfather's wish. I will look at you in the future. The current patriarch on the zodiac side is your clan brother, named "Qi". His father used to work in the Interior Affairs Office and died of illness in the 48th year of Kangxi. Cao Qi had not yet taken office in Beijing, and was on duty at his mother's death, and he has been delayed until now. I heard that he will go to Beijing in March."

Cao Yongyuan also heard that there were members of the Cao family who worked in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but he did not expect that there was such an involvement.

Fengrun’s hometown was only when he was attending the funeral of the old lady with his father. It was messy at that time and didn’t feel it was inappropriate. Now, he thought about it, but he did not worship ancestors or ancestral halls.

However, Cao Yong is different from Cao Yin after all, and he does not regard the status of his relatives as much as possible.

In his eyes, relatives are relatives. If they can get together, they will be far away. If they can't get together, they will not need to live in the same yard.

Although the tribe members of Fengrun have not given five squads, they have never seen many people before. How can they feel close to each other?

"If your generation still cannot fulfill your grandfather's wish to return to your hometown, then... then you must revitalize your family and make your descendants proud of you!" Cao Yin looked at his son with expectations.

"Father..." Cao Yong's face turned red by the scorching gaze: "My father is knowledgeable and talented, filial, righteous and loyal, and is the one who revived the Cao family."

These words are not flattery.

Although Cao Yin is not a good father, Cao Yong once witnessed his hard work in Jiangning for business work at the third and fifth hours. He also saw him interacting with the same celebrities and singing accordingly.

The reason why Cao Yin was always unsatisfied with his son may be related to Cao Yong's failure in poetry and prose.

After hearing his son's words, Cao Yin felt a little embarrassed, waved his hand and said, "It's nothing, it's just a job for the emperor. It's useless to be with the family. If you hadn't said bluntly that you would have to deceive yourself as a father. When you were in a state of change, you would have to escape the fate of raiding and extermination of the family... In the past few years, you have been working hard in the capital to maintain the family's dignity, and you are very ashamed of your father..."

"My son did nothing, he just followed his father and grandfather Yu Meng..." It was rare to hear Cao Yin say so much, Cao Yong also became more intimate.

"You are mature and steadfast, so you should be at ease with your father. However, there are many ghosts and monsters in the officialdom. There are some lessons from the past. If you know it, you can avoid detours." Cao Yin said with a happy face. He looked at his son with unabashed appreciation, and he no longer had the previous pickiness: "Being a father has figured it out. Although you have shortcomings in Confucianism, you are generous in dealing with the world and have no greed. As long as you meet a famous master, it will not be difficult to achieve something."

Although he doesn't like Cao Yin's usual pickiness, such straightforward praise also makes Cao Yong a little awkward.

It sounds embarrassing, but he has to admit that he was like a child when he received his father's affirmation, and he felt a little happy in his heart.

"Famous Lord..." Cao Yin murmured in a low voice: "That master is famous for his uneasyness, but you are not a person who likes to show off. I believe you can catch his eyes. No matter what, you must be more respectful to the emperor..."

Changchun Garden, Empress Dowager.

Li and Chuyu respectfully bowed to the empress dowager. The empress dowager was sick in the first month of the year and had been raising her in Tangquan for these days, but she still looked a little relieved.
