Chapter 738 The First Level (Part 1)

After meeting several officials from the Ministry of Revenue, Cao Yong returned to the official office and ordered people to call Feng Che and He Lian in. The two of them, Feng Che and Cao Yong were the same age as Cao Yong, and He Lian was the same age as Cao Song.

It seems that the two of them did not expect that the newly appointed chief would be Cao Yong, and their faces were filled with joy. However, Fengche had been in office for several years. When they remembered that Cao Yong was "demoted" by the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, they were afraid that he would feel uncomfortable, so they quickly stopped smiling.

Cao Yong stood up from behind the desk, asked the two of them to sit down, looked at He Lian, and said, "Don't Aunt Fifth wants you to take the exam? Why did you work as an employee in the department again?"

Helian's mother is the five daughters of Marhan. After she was widowed in her early years, she took her only son back to the Shangshu Mansion and lived with her father.

He Lian studied with the Zhaojia clan since he was a child. How could he love studying? His family had donated students to prison and failed in the provincial examinations. Because he was the only son, he got married early. Now he has both wives, concubines and children, and is still studying. I heard that he is preparing to participate in this year's provincial examination.

He Lian himself was confused and replied, "Big cousin, my younger brother is also confused. He didn't listen to grandpa's mention. He didn't know how grandpa arranged it. He had already completed the procedures yesterday and came to work as a job."

Cao Yong was puzzled when he heard this and looked at Fengche.

Fengche nodded, agreed with He Lian’s statement, and added: "I don’t know why grandpa is worried about this again? My aunt didn’t agree yet, so she went to my grandpa to plead with her and planned to let He Lian continue the imperial examination. Grandpa said that He Lian is not a seed of study, so she can take advantage of this opportunity to take care of her."

Is it a coincidence?

Cao Yong had no choice but to think so. After all, the imperial edict was issued yesterday, and Marhan didn't know that he would go to the Ministry of Revenue.

After all, he grew up in the Shangshu Mansion and was taught by Marhan himself. Although Fengche and Helian were a little naughty when they were young, they are now much more steady and honest and dedicated children.

Cao Yong glanced at Fengche and said, "Is Xiaoliu on duty by Lord Chen? What's the job? Are you working hard?"

"Well. The year is the most tiring at the end of the year, and it will be better at the beginning of this year." Fengche replied.

After hearing this, Cao Yong said to He Lian: "My cousin and I are new members of this courtyard, so let's go to the upper room to get familiar with each other. But it's just that when you are studying at home, there are more places to worry about. If you have anything you don't understand, ask Xiaoliu and me."

"Yes, cousin." He Lian stood up and heard it, and replied with a smile.

Seeing this, Fengche pulled his sleeve and whispered: "This is the official office, so I have to call him a relative."

He Lian was also a clever person. He immediately became a little serious when he heard this and changed his words, "Yes, sir."

Looking at the cousins, Cao Yong just thought it was great to be young. He nodded and said to the two: "You do business in front of others, and you don't need to be too reserved in private."

He Lian and Feng Che were relieved when they heard this, and said a few more words to Cao Yong, and went down to serve as a service...

Changchun Garden, outside Qingxi Bookstore.

Seeing the Fourth Prince come out of the bookstore, the Sixteenth Prince quickly met. The Fourth Prince looked at him, saw his face flushed, and said, "I heard that you were uncomfortable a few days ago. It seems that you are getting better now?"

When the sixteenth prince heard about this, he felt uncomfortable all over and said, "Okay, okay, I dare not let the fourth brother worry. Did the fourth brother just meet the emperor? Is it necessary to patrol the Jindian in a few days, will the fourth brother follow his escort?"

The fourth prince shook his head and said, "I don't know, Emperor Ah Ma didn't mention this."

The sixteenth prince hesitated for a moment and said, "Fourth brother, that boy Cao Yong has gone to the Ministry of Revenue. You have to take care of him more in the future. Speaking of which, he is not worrying enough. Although he can do some practical things, he is always not good. He will not be able to seize credit or say a few good things in front of the emperor. Are these six errands easy to do? If there is a mistake, wouldn't this official become smaller and smaller?"

Seeing that the Sixteenth Prince looked like he was "I was so angry that I couldn't make me feel strong", the Fourth Prince couldn't help laughing and looked at him and said, "It seems that the Sixteenth Brother is old and everyone knows that he is worried about others."

"Cao Yong is not someone else... no..." Speaking of this, the sixteenth prince said embarrassedly: "Aren't he niece? Or a nephew..." The next sentence lowered the volume.

Although there was no one everywhere, the fourth prince still frowned, glared at the sixteenth prince, and said with a stern face: "Don't listen to the wind or the rain. Even if the emperor spoils you, you should know the degree. Some words can only be rotten in your stomach..."

After the Sixteenth Prince finished speaking, he also knew his mistakes.

He laughed twice and said, "In a few days, our little four full moon is not allowed to hold a full moon wine, but the fourth brother cannot hold this full moon gift. My younger brother still hopes to take this opportunity to fight the autumn wind everywhere."

Seeing his hippie face, the fourth prince couldn't blame him. He snorted and said, "You need to tell me that your fourth sister-in-law has already prepared it. It's still a double share. I hope my brother and sister will give you a little prince like Li this time."

"It's still the fourth sister-in-law who loves my younger brother." The sixteenth prince said with a smile.

Although his concubine Li had a deep affection and loved Hongpu, he couldn't bear it when he thought that the two legitimate sons of the Sixteenth Prince did not stop and hoped that she would get what she wanted and give birth to a legitimate son. However, with the legitimate son, how could Li and Hongpu and his son behave themselves?

Thinking of this, the Sixteenth Prince's smile froze, and he felt a headache, but he really couldn't think of a way to achieve both worlds...

After a few days, Cao Yong gradually became familiar with the responsibilities of the household department.

It is not difficult to say, the Hushi Department is only responsible to the emperor. Any remarks involving the errands of the Ministry of Revenue will be sent to the Hushi Department and the Hushi Department first. These errands will be cleared every five days after the emperor sends them to the Hushi Department.

The job of the Ministry of Revenue is also reported to the household registration department every five days.

If you have any questions, please organize them by the household registration department and report to the imperial front.

Speaking of which, it is a bit connected with the past and the future, and also has a supervisory effect.

On this day, another major incident happened. Kuixu, the former left censor of the Censorate and the Grand Secretary of the Hanlin Academy, died of illness.

Unlike A Ling's lingering bed, Kuixu's condition had improved a few days ago. The emperor personally sent someone to mail me: "I have just recovered from my illness and I want to eat. I can tell you what I have. I have everything here, but I don't know if it's appropriate for you, so I dare not send it."

The word "Don't Dare" in the decree made Kui Xu lose his soul and dragged his sick body to Changchun Garden to beg, saying that the word "Don't Dare" in the decree could not bear it.

Kangxi did not summon him, so he just asked someone to help him down.

After this trip, Kuixue couldn't stand it and died of illness within two days.

Because of the interlude, there are such rumors. Some say that Kuixu committed suicide because of the previous "party-affiliated" Eighth Prince, fearing his crime; some say that he lost his holy heart and died of depression.

Nalanfusson had already given up his post last year and was reluctant to leave the capital. In the Nalan Mansion, only Kuixu's two heirs, the eldest son Yongshou and the second son Yongfu.

Although Yongshou has already married and worked as a servant, he is only sixteen or seventeen years old. Where can he handle the funeral?

Although he was born into a noble family, he never put on airs in the guard office and had a harmonious relationship with his colleagues. Everyone was willing to come to take care of him. Among them, Cao Song was particularly close to Yongshou because of the relationship between Lanfusen and Cao Yong.

These days, Cao Song went to Nalan Mansion to help.

Cao Yong had known that Cao Song and Yongshou had a good relationship, so he was still a little worried, for fear that his younger brother would be involved in the Eighth Master Party. However, there was Nalanfusen's relationship in the middle, so it was not easy to ask his younger brother to stay away from Yongshou.

Now that the Eighth Prince is dead, the Eighth Prince Party has long passed, so Cao Yong naturally has no reason to stop his younger brother. On the contrary, when he thought of Nalanfusson, Cao Yong asked a few more questions.

Mingzhu Mansion, which was once prominent, has become increasingly rare with the deaths of Mingzhu and his son.

Cao Song only stayed in Nalan Mansion for half a day, and then came back in a daze. It happened that Cao Yong came back from the yamen and met him at the door of his house. Seeing him wearing green clothes, he asked him to come in and speak.

It turned out that Cao Song and several colleagues from the Guard Department went to Nalan Mansion to help. It was a good time, but everyone followed the Nalan family's masters to help.

As a result, at noon, the Ninth Prince brought people over and took over Sang Yi.

Although they were all helping, the Ninth Prince was ashamed of the prince, and everyone was less comfortable. They waited for half a day before they came back.

Cao Yong heard this and was a little strange.

Since the death of the eighth prince, the ninth prince has been "ill" after the eighth prince's funeral. The first thing he did when he came forward was to organize the funeral of Nalan Mansion. Isn't he afraid of making taboos?

"The Ninth Prince said that before his death, Yongshou entrusted their brothers to the Ninth Prince, so he would take care of the mansion in the future." Speaking of this, Cao Song frowned and said, "I don't know what Yongshou Ama thought? His nephew believed it but insisted on outsiders. Brother Fusen was kind and could not say anything about Yongshou."

What else can be found? Isn’t it just a terrible origin?

Kuixu's mother is a clan daughter, and her wife is Geng, the granddaughter of Prince Yue Le of An County. Speaking of which, Geng is cousin with the Eighth Concubine, and her mother raised her in the palace since childhood and was named "Princess Heshuo", and her identity is more noble than that of the Eighth Concubine.

It was just because Geng's father was the third son of Geng Jimao, the King of Jingnan. Although he was loyal to the court and was not implicated by the Three Feudal Rebellion, he was still silent for many years.

Yongshou, Yongfu's biological mother, is the princess from the Kang Prince's Mansion, and her status is becoming more and more noble.

Nalanfusen was not only the concubine son of a prostitute, but his biological mother also fled Nalan's mansion after Nalan Rongruo's death and remarried a scholar in Jiangnan. If it were not for Cao Yin's mediation, Nalanfusen would have been a delusion even if he had recognised his ancestors and returned to his hometown.

It would be nice to be able to accommodate this nephew in Beijing. How could Kuixue trust his family?

Cao Yong sighed, was Kuixue stupid to study? The Ninth Prince has no other hobbies, but loves gold and silver. Mingzhu has been a prime minister for half her life, and has successively married royal family members, so the family must be very rich.

Kuixue is not entrusting an orphan, but attracting a wolf into the house.

Cao Yong was very clear in his heart, but he was not interested in interfering. Even if Nalanfusson did not leave Beijing with his wife and children, Kuixu would not share his property with his concubine's nephew.

As for Yongshou and whether the Yongfu brothers were wronged, Cao Yong didn't need to worry about it. With Prince An and Prince Kang's mansion, the Ninth Prince was not too difficult to do too much. Besides, Yongfu was his son-in-law, and he, as a father-in-law, had no shame to swallow his son-in-law alive.

In addition to these dirty things, there is another happy event recently, that is, after Cao Yong was transferred from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, he was recommended by Cao Yong and appointed as the chief executive of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Although he was not promoted immediately, he was already satisfied and prepared a heavy gift seriously and personally delivered it to Cao Yong's mansion...

Just two days before the fourth prince who was born by the 16th concubine Li, the 16th concubine gave birth to the fifth prince safely.

The Fourth Prince Kangxi gave the emperor's grandson a name and gave it to Honghao. The Fourth Prince's full moon is the ceremony of the fifth Prince's "baptism of the third".

Although he was still in the eighth prince's filial piety period and did not hold a grand ceremony, it was rare to have a "double happiness" and his close relatives and friends were still coming to the palace to congratulate him. Chu Yu's side naturally had to go.

It took her half a day to get out of the palace.

Looking at the two little princes, she had some worries in her heart. Sitting in the carriage, she thought about whether she would invite an imperial physician to come and check her body carefully. If she really has no hope of recuperation, what should she do?

The more I thought about it, the more I became upset. I told myself that the master and wife had already gained immortality, and Tianyou could not say that he was the only seedling; and then I felt guilty again. Although my parents-in-law didn't say anything, no one in the old man could keep the prosperity of his descendants.

Helplessly, she advised herself several times, but she was not virtuous.

When Chu Yu returned to the mansion, Zi Jing received the news and came to Wutongyuan. She came for Wang Ying, and Wang Ying was different from Qi Niang who lived in Cao's mansion. According to Chu Yu and Cao Yong, Wang Ying's lifelong affairs were also required to be arranged by the mansion.

Wang Ying is 16 years old this year, and when she is filial, she is 18 years old. However, she lost her mother when she was a child and grew up in the countryside with her father and brother. She has no idea about the cooking skills of the girl.

Even if such a girl is packed with a generous dowry and found a good family to marry, it will not be reassuring.

Regarding Wang Ying, Chuyu and Cao Yong specifically told Amethyst to take good care of her. Amethyst saw that the problem was inappropriate, so she came to Chuyu to discuss whether she would arrange a nanny for her and teach some rules for the girls.

After hearing this, Chu Yu realized that he was negligent.

Speaking of the nanny in the mansion, who can compare with Aunt Luo or Aunt Chang? When the second house first broke through, Zhao Jia Zeng Yang mopped several times, and finally borrowed Aunt Chang from him.

Because Aunt Chang was sent by the royal family, only Chu Yu was the one who was alone. Zhao Jia felt uncomfortable after putting on airs several times. She just endured it for the fourth sister and Wu Er and two.

When she was getting along with the Dong family, because Dong Suxin had been a gangster in the palace, Zhao Jia was afraid that it would be inconvenient for her to see Aunt Chang, so she hired a nanny from outside and asked Aunt Chang to return to the East Mansion.

The two girls in the East Mansion, Niu Niu, have grace, do not need to participate in the small selection; Tianhui has eye disease, does not need to participate in the talent show. In addition, they are still young, and they are both learning the rules with their brothers.

"Yes, it's just that. My sister is more careful, otherwise I'd let Aunt Chang teach you for a year and a half. It's not a talent show, so there's no need to be too strict." Chu Yu said.

Among the two worships of Luo and Chang, Aunt Luo is a bit harsh, just Tianyou. When Hengsheng and the others saw this nude, they were afraid; Aunt Chang had to be much more kind and had patience with their children.
