Chapter 706: Loyalty and Filial Piety (Part 2)
"Imperial Doctor?" Zhao Feng hesitated and whispered: "Master, didn't you say that you should hide this addiction from the Imperial Doctor?"
The sixteenth prince sat up, sighed and said, "Who told you to come to see a doctor? I said that my grandfather had diarrhea and asked them to prescribe two portions of opium to treat it." As he spoke, he had already yawned two times.
Opium is a common medicine, dizziness, diarrhea and diarrhea can be cured.
Zhao Feng then understood the Sixteenth Prince's intention, responded, and immediately went out to look for the imperial physician...
The sixteenth prince sat on the couch and murmured, "If you only stay in Zhongguan for one day, you will be able to reach Rehe in the future."
Thinking about the increasing frequency of smoking addiction, even the Sixteenth Prince, who has always been optimistic, couldn't help but feel a little worried.
The capital city, the east prefecture of the Cao family, the inner courtyard.
Zhao Jia sat on the kang and ate a few sips of cigarettes. Cao Song came back on duty, sat on the chair, and talked to his mother. Later, the little prince of the Thirteenth Prince's Mansion was full moon joy, but Jinghui was in the middle of the moon, so Zhao Jia wanted to go there in person.
But there is no reason why my brother-in-law gave birth to a illegitimate son and my aunt went to a wedding banquet. After all, I still have to worry about the face of the Thirteenth Prince. If other women go, who is in the family has the face?
There is no way to send a girl to the prince’s mansion to show up in public.
Seeing Zhao Jia in a dilemma, Cao Song said, "Mother, otherwise she would be with the aunt and sister-in-law of the West Mansion. This would not be rude even if the person could not pass by."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Jia shook her head and said, "When we are together to take gifts, how can we show our sincerity? Otherwise, you will give us a gift first before you take the job tomorrow." As she spoke, she put the cigarette mouth into her mouth and took a sip.
Cao Song nodded and responded. He sniffed, and said with a little curiosity: "Mother has changed to new tobacco leaves and smells so good."
Zhao Jia said casually: "There are only half a pound of filial piety outside, and most of them have gone. After eating this cigarette and eating anything else, it is not for the outside world. I am planning to send someone to the tobacco shop outside tomorrow."
Seeing that it was getting darker outside, Cao Song accompanied Zhao Jia to say a few more words, and then went back to the East Cross Courtyard.
The weather is sunny this day.
After finishing the errand from the yamen, Cao Yong went to the Thirteenth Prince's Mansion for a full moon wine. Because he was a concubine, he didn't do anything, so he only had a few families he had been with and came to give gifts.
Among the male guests, in addition to Cao Yong, there were also the Seventeenth Prince, the two cousins of the Thirteenth Prince and several nephews of the Thirteenth Prince's wife. Everyone was about the same age and sat in the same seat. The atmosphere was very harmonious while they were cheering and drinking.
Even Cao Yong, who doesn't like the things in the cup, was poured into many cups, and his face was flushed.
Compared with half a month ago, the Thirteenth Prince's complexion is much better. He has added two sons a year, and he is really happy.
When the Fourth Prince came, everyone had already drunk for three rounds. Because he was usually harsh, everyone calmed down.
Seeing the cold, the Thirteenth Prince was unable to do so, so he had to invite the Fourth Prince to go to the flower hall to sit, and invite the Seventeenth Prince to accompany everyone to drink, and called Cao Yong to come over to talk to the Fourth Prince.
Seeing Cao Yong being drunk, the fourth prince couldn't help but frown and scolded: "Are you so idle?"
This sentence without any ending was not only Cao Yong was confused, but also the Thirteenth Prince was confused. He was afraid that Cao Yong would not come to Taiwan, so he hurriedly said with a smile: "Fourth brother, Cao Yong was called by his younger brother. It is rare to have a yuzi, and everyone will have a meal."
The fourth prince had an inexplicable attack. Cao Yong was not right to argue, nor did he not argue, but he could only bow his head and make a complacent statement.
"Prince Jian has cut most of the gold in the capital, aren't you afraid?" The Fourth Prince snorted coldly and said, "When the gold is short and the price of gold soars, how do you resolve it?"
To be honest, Cao Yong was not sure, so he had to tell the truth, saying, "I really didn't expect Prince Jian to buy this gold at once, and I was worried. I'm afraid that the results would be minimal, and it might not be that great benefit."
After hearing this, the Thirteenth Prince felt a little unfair for Cao Yong and said, "Fourth Brother, this is really a big deal. Twenty thousand taels have become 120,000 taels, which is six times more. Only Yaerjiang A has the courage to make such a big deal."
The fourth prince pointed at Cao Yong and said to the Thirteenth prince: "It's because it was the idea given by him, the 'Shancai boy', that's so great trust."
The Thirteenth Prince looked at Cao Yong and said, "Cao Yong has some ability to make money, and he also borrowed the light of "the right time, place, and people". If he could offer him to worship, he could have money, then wouldn't Cao Yong be a living God of Wealth? If I don't say anything else, I will snatch him to the mansion first." After that, I was already a little smile.
The fourth prince still looked at Cao Yong with a tense face and said, "Don't be proud. Prince Jian's temperament is easy to match? This time he raised gold with such momentum. If there is something unsatisfactory and lose face, how can he forgive you?"
This is unreasonable, but it is the truth.
Cao Yong heard this and whispered: "There is no way. Prince Jian brought out the imperial edict, so I can only do it with a tough bullet to plan."
The Thirteenth Prince was close to Cao Yong. After hearing this, he smiled and said, "Even if Yaer Jiang A is domineering, he has to reason. The idea is that Cao Yong has made it. The one who raises an extra 100,000 taels of gold in private claims is his own idea. How can he blame Cao Yong for something wrong? Fourth brother, if he is making a fool of himself, you have to help Cao Yong. You can't bother to worry about being a cattle and a horse, and you will suffer this grievance? In the long run, who will be willing to do his best for the court?"
Listening to the Thirteenth Prince talking to Cao Yong, the Fourth Prince glanced at Cao Yong with a complicated expression.
In fact, although Cao Yong knew in his heart that Yaerjiang Ai was face-saving and the matter was handled inappropriately, he might be angry, but he did not think that the two sides would form a grudge.
Even if Yaerjiang A is really angry, it will be open and will not cause any yin. It is not that it will not, but that Yaerjiang A's arrogance is disdainful to make those curves.
To put it bluntly, this temperament is a "real villain". Cao Yong didn't know if he had a dark side, but he was not disgusted with Yaerjiang, who was such a "real villain".
Seeing that there was a little dismay, the Thirteenth Prince remembered something and hurried to the door to call an eunuch and gave a few instructions.
A moment later, an eunuch sent a brocade box.
The Thirteenth Prince opened it and sent it to the Fourth Prince, saying, "Fourth Brother, look at this object?"
The fourth prince took it and looked carefully. It turned out that there was a gold-stringed enamel snuff bottle in the brocade box. It was a golden bottom with a picture of a Western angel on it.
Looking at the chubby little angel, the fourth prince's expression was much softer.
Similar to snuff bottles, I have also seen them in Beijing. They are mostly made of copper tires. It is rare that this one is gold, and the workmanship is more exquisite.
"I just came from Guangzhou a few days ago. I knew that the fourth brother liked this, so I told the shopkeeper to pay attention. I didn't expect that I would really change it to a good one." The Thirteenth Prince said with a smile.
With Cao Yong beside him, how could the Fourth Prince admit that he was a person who was disgusted with ambition?
He coughed twice and said, "Thank you, Thirteenth brother, for your trouble. Spring is so sleepy and autumn is so exhausted. It is the day when you use snuff."
It’s not a secret that the Fourth Prince likes this. The Thirteenth Prince also gave it to him before. Seeing that he always looks so serious, Cao Yong and the Thirteenth Prince looked at each other and pretended not to be careful...
Haidian, the Eighth Prince Garden.
Looking at the eighth prince who was unaware of the situation on the bed, the ninth prince and the tenth prince were both worried.
The Ninth Prince couldn't help it, so he turned around and asked the Eighth Concubine, "Sister-in-law, have you been consulted by the Imperial Doctor? Why are you still like this? If you continue to get this kind of fever, you will continue to get this kind of fever..." He really couldn't say the remaining half of the sentence.
The Eighth Concubine bit her lip and said, "The Imperial Doctors in the Imperial Hospital have a lot of entourages. I heard that the Empress Dowager was uncomfortable last month, so she went there. In the capital, most of the remaining Imperial Doctors were busy. She also saw that the Imperial Doctors were dangerous and afraid of being responsible for the relationship, so she dared not take the lead."
When the Ninth Prince heard this, his face was already gloomy. The Tenth Prince couldn't help it and said, "You can't drag it. Let's write a memorial to Rehe. Calculate the day. The Holy Lord will not be able to arrive in Beijing for half a month. By then, what will happen?"
He had a loud voice, and he was pressing his voice in front of him, and at the end he spoke.
The Ninth Prince was afraid of disturbing the Eighth Prince, so he pulled down his sleeves and the two brothers came to the main hall outside. Seeing this, the Eighth Prince followed him out.
"Three days ago, I wrote a medical note and sent someone to Rehe. There is no movement yet." The Eighth Concubine sighed and said.
After hearing this, thinking about the current situation of the Eighth Prince, the Ninth Prince and the Tenth Prince were speechless and didn't know what to say.
The Eighth Concubine looked at the sky outside and said, "It's late at night, and the guest room has been cleaned up. Ninth brother, Twenty brother, let's go and rest first."
After these days, the Eighth Concubine worked the most hard. She didn't even say that she had been sleeping around, but her eyes were covered with red bloodshot, and she looked very haggard.
The Ninth Prince looked at it and said, "Sister-Eighth Sister-in-law is better off. It's rare that we will come here to fight for Sister-in-law for one night. If you keep going like this, you will fall ill. Who will take care of your brother?"
The Eighth Concubine was a Sweetheart, and she knew that the Ninth Prince was just a legitimate person. Her husband was sick, and now she was the pillar of the mansion, so she must not be sick. Therefore, she thanked the two princes and sent two new beds to send them over. After the arrangement was made, she went down to rest.
The Ninth Prince and the Eighth Prince have always been intimate, and they don’t think about whether they have been sick or not. The Tenth Prince glanced at the Eighth Prince and whispered to the Ninth Prince: “Brother Ninth Prince, let’s write a medical note, too?”
The Ninth Prince nodded and said, "Well, I have the intention too. 'The tiger poison does not eat any of the children'. Even if the emperor has a grudge against the starling in his heart, he would not just hope that he will disappear." In the end, although he lowered the volume, he could not hide his resentment.
Listening to the Ninth Prince's words, the resonance of the Emperor's father was aroused by the Tenth Prince. He sighed and said, "What else can the Emperor Ahma besides being partial? They are all sons. Last month, Xiao Shiqi was sick and asked several times in a row. Now the starling is like this. It is a blessing to lie down like this; if you are awake, you will be furious."
"Anyway, this medical consultation will be submitted. If the emperor hasn't moved yet, I will go to Rehe to ask." The Ninth Prince said, with his attitude even decisive.
The tenth prince is generous and loyal, so he naturally supports this.
After the Ninth Prince finished speaking, he looked at the direction of the capital and sneered: "The Fourteenth Old Man is getting more and more out of his way. I want to see if he will join forces tomorrow?"
...
Cao Yong went to the yamen every day and went home, and his life was peaceful.
The renovation project of Changchun Garden is almost the same, and now it is the finishing work. Cao Yong and Dong Dianbang went to see it. After all, it is the palace and has a great relationship, so no one dares to fool it.
The rest is to pay attention to the Tangquan Palace.
When the Shengjia went back to Luan Capital by the Rehe River, he would pass by Tangquan Palace. He had to prepare the dishes there before staying in Hua.
Since Tangquan was still a long way from the capital, Cao Yong and Dong Dianbang discussed it and decided to stay in Beijing alone and go to Tangquan to inspect the project there.
Although he was a little busy after leaving the capital for dozens of miles, this was a matter of making contributions. In addition, he could only meet him directly in Tangquan for a few days. Therefore, Cao Yong gave this opportunity to Dong Dianbang.
Dong Dianbang is now the chief executive of the Office of the Internal Affairs Office and always needs to make some contributions before he can be officially promoted.
Although he sometimes talks a little bit more, he does things very carefully. With such colleagues, Cao Yong also feels much more relaxed.
Because of the last time when he mentioned the money remuneration, Dong Dianbang was worried that Cao Yong would blame him. Seeing that he was willing to fulfill his wish, Dong Dianbang was very grateful.
The life of the 14th Prince is not so comfortable.
A few days ago, he was forced by the Ninth Prince and jointly signed the note for the Eighth Prince to ask for a doctor. Before, he used the excuse of being busy with "errands" by the Ministry of War, and just asked someone to go over to ask for the Eighth Prince, but he had never visited the disease at all.
He also wanted to drag the emperor back to talk about it, so that he would not be implicated and would be disgusted by the emperor's father.
But the Ninth Prince came in a rage, and his eyes made people stare at him coldly. He showed that if the Fourteenth Prince refused to join forces, he would immediately turn against him as an enemy.
Although the 14th Prince has set up his own business, his foundation is still very shallow, and he still relies on the eighth Prince, the tenth Prince's connections and the ninth Prince's financial resources.
Even if he was unhappy, he could not break up with the ninth prince, so he had to bite the bullet and jointly sign the letter. Unexpectedly, when the imperial edict was sent back, he criticized "The 14th prince Yinzhen has always been in love with the eighth prince Yinsi, and he told Yi to discuss the treatment with the imperial physician."
The 14th Prince was both frightened and worried.
What was frightened was that the emperor's father made this move and he still attributed himself to the "Eighth Master Party"; what was worried was that the matter was assigned to him. If the Eighth Prince made a mistake, he would have to take responsibility.
In a state of turmoil, the 14th Prince had no choice but to tell the story to his biological mother, Concubine De, and seek a way to resolve it.
Concubine De thought for a moment and said, "Don't think too much, just follow the imperial edict to take the job. The prince is sick and not someone can take responsibility. When will it not be used at this time?"
"Mom, is it possible for a child to use Ya A Jiang? It would be strange if he is willing to come forward without an imperial edict." The 14th Prince frowned.
"Without the sect's mansion, isn't there any other place in the Interior Government? The Imperial Hospital is the yamen under the Interior Government. The prince and the prince are sick. Can they escape?" Concubine De said slowly.
When the 14th Prince heard this, he was already enlightened.
It is true that the Ministry of Internal Affairs cannot escape. There are two chief supervisors of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in the capital. Dong Dianbang went to Tangquan, leaving only Cao Yong.
If it was really for the sake of the Eighth Prince and tied Cao Yong to his ship, it would be a great charity.
How can you know that it is a blessing to lose your horse?
