Chapter 897 "Shiwang"

The royal blue silk gown and black satin cool hat look neither lacking their identity nor stereotypes.

He has a tall figure, slender eyebrows and eyes, a white face, a gentleman, and is not a good person. He is very handsome. He is rare at a young age and has a prominent position. He can still be so steady and not frivolous. The old man looked at Cao Yong sitting in front of him, with a little appreciation in his eyes.

In theory, the Cao family and the Nian family have been officials for generations, and some of the relationships are common.

However, these two families were not in the same banner, and the Cao family went to Jiangnan early; after the Cao family went north, Cao Yin took into account his identity and rarely made friends with other families except for his old friends. Therefore, this was the first time Cao Yong saw an old man.

When the old man looked at Cao Yong, Cao Yong also looked at the old man who was often ridiculed as "cowardly" by outsiders.

He was released as the governor of Huguang in the 31st year of Emperor Kangxi. He later operated Huguang for thirteen years, and served as the governor of the office for the last three years.

In the 43rd year of the reign of Emperor Kangxi, he was 62 years old and wrote a memorial to state that he was "over 60 years old, and his deterioration was getting worse, so he begged not to submit it." He immediately received the order and said, "The original official was not to submit it."

In this blink of an eye, eighteen years have passed.

When Mr. Zhuang was alive in his early years, he commented on the governor and governor who released the public and made a special trip to mention his old age.

Although Huguang is not as good as Jiangnan, it is an important place in the Qing Dynasty. Moreover, the seedlings gathered, and the territory has never been peaceful. Even the famous official Guo Xiu's career was ruined as the governor of Huguang. Nianxialing stayed steadily for thirteen years in the repeated impeachment of court officials.

If he is not an old fox, who believes it?

So Cao Yong is now only respectful to this old man in the officialdom. After all, not all fathers can have two governors and governors' sons.

Whether from the officialdom or from the education of children, this old man has something to learn from.

It was said to be a visit, but it was actually a "return visit", and the gift of returning was not light. One of the pairs of Hetian jade longevity balls was immediately loved by the old man.

"I am ashamed, Mr. Lao Cao has spent money." The old man said with a smile.

Although he didn't want to be involved in the same family, Nian Gengyao could offend him, but the old man in front of him was not something Cao Yong could offend. Because in addition to being the old man of the Nian family, he was also the old Taishan of the Fourth Prince.

"I dare not be the honorable title of the old master. Since he is the old master and his father's old friend, you can just call him the name "Boy" Cao Yong thought carefully and replied.

"Haha! OK, okay, then I'll be proud and call me "Nephew". Nephew should not be "Old Master" or "Old Master". Just call me "Uncle" directly." The old man looked at Cao Yong with a smile and said.

Having said that, it would be meaningless to have orthopedics.

Cao Yong stood up, changed his name, and met him again with his son and nephew.

In fact, meeting Cao Ying's father's family is already giving Cao Ying face. Speaking of which, Nian Xialing is the same as Cao Yin's grandfather.

He seemed very satisfied with Cao Yong's tactfulness, and the old man smiled even more vigorously.

There was no cold talk about the first meeting, like an old friend who had been with him for many years. The old man talked about Cao Yin's past and asked Cao Yong if he was busy with his errands.

This meeting was a joy for the guests and hosts.

As it was about to come, the old man was reluctant to let Cao Yong go, saying that he had to keep him for dinner.

Cao Yong could only show some embarrassment, saying that there were mundane affairs at home. The old man actually nagged him like a child and the children didn't like to accompany him when he was old.

Cao Yong had only admired him in his heart.

The old man's "love" is enough, let alone the "new nephew", even the nephew is good.

It was Nian Xiyao who rescued the situation and said, "Dad, what did the imperial physician tell you? Didn't you say that you could purify your stomach and intestines and drink millet porridge for a few days? It would be rude if you keep Furuo."

When the old man heard this, he couldn't help but pause and said, "I still want to take advantage of my nephew's light to eat a few bites of meat. This time the old man wants to drink porridge with pickles again..."

After saying a few more gossips, the old man asked his eldest son to send Cao Yong out.

Although Cao Yong was called "Shi Yao" and "Shi Yao nephew", Cao Yong became a peer in the same year. Nian Xi Yao didn't seem to care. With Cao Yong's current identity and official position, it was considered a high-level relationship with his peers.

Cao Yong could not be calm. After all, Nian Xiyao was over fifty years old and there was a fourth prince in the middle. He was actually Cao Yong's father-in-law. Therefore, he was respectful in front of Nian Xiyao, and he did not even mean to be neglect and contempt because he was exempted from his official duties.

Seeing this, Nian Xiyao felt more and more that Cao Yong was humble and polite, and was already complaining about his brother's previous rudeness.

When I saw the guests off and returned to the old man's room, I saw the old man rolling the longevity ball sent by Cao Yong in his hand, squinting his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.

Seeing Nian Xiyao come back, the old man asked, "Boss, Cao Yong, how about that?"

"Don't be arrogant or impatient, gentle and polite. A young man helps his father repay his debts, and is filial; he is grateful to repay his kindness, and when the thirteenth prince is in trouble, he lends a helping hand to him, and is righteous; he raises a lost father and weak son, and is kind; he rises three times and surrenders, and does not feel resentful, and is diligent and loyal. There is no maid in the family, and he does not love wine and sex. Cao Yong has good character and his future is limitless!" Nian Xiyao was flattered by Cao Yong, and he was full of favor. When he heard his father ask, he praised him without hesitation.

After hearing this, the old man could only sigh in his heart, "The young man is terrifying."

It is less than thirty years old. It is so natural and casual, and just right, he is better than his eldest son, who is not very scheming and the arrogant second son.

"I have done the best for the Tong family, and after a while, I also asked my wife to take the third girl to come over to pay my respects to Mrs. Li and the princess." The old man said slowly.

Nian Xiyao was a little stunned when he heard this.

His offspring was in trouble, and his legitimate son died prematurely, and he had only three daughters. The "three girls" mentioned by the old man was his only legitimate daughter, who was born after his legitimate son died. He was only ten years old this year and was most favored by their couple.

"Dad, sister means, don't you want Songguoer to enter the palace?" Nian Xiyao asked with a little hesitation.

Because he hoped that his daughter would live a long life and avoid the fate of premature death, Nian Xiyao gave his daughter "Songguoer" the nickname.

The fourth and fifth princes of Prince Yong’s mansion are all about the same age as Song Guoer. In his old age, he mentioned marriage with his elder brother and sister-in-law.

"Women's opinion!" The old man snorted coldly when he heard this, "Except for the Tong family, two generations of descendants, which royal palace in this capital, the main wife of Beile Mansion, has the daughter of the Han Army Banner? It is difficult for the foreign relative to be promoted to the world. Even if that person is really able to rise to power, he will not be with yours."

Nian Xiyao looked embarrassed, a little embarrassed, and felt wronged.

Their family was not the disciple of the Fourth Prince, but later became the disciple of the Fourth Prince. Although he had a closer relationship with the Third Prince and the Eighth Prince in his early years, he was also in the previous relationship and was not considered to be a master.

The fourth prince was lukewarm to him as if he was holding a grudge; he was so heart-warming to Nian Gengyao and was attracted to him as a confidant...

Cao Yong rode on the horse and felt his ears itchy.

He thought in his heart, wondering how the father and son of the Nian family were talking about him. He didn't know that his son had been missed.

Like the old man in the officialdom, who takes three steps, he takes one step. He regards himself as a "father" and does not just praise Cao Yong and give him face, but also has another profound meaning.

After leaving the Nian house, Cao Yong walked to the Prince's Mansion of Chun County again.

After all, he delayed his trip to Rehe for one month because of his father-in-law's injury. Even if the Seventh Prince is getting better now, he doesn't have to wait for the royal palace, and visiting him once a day or two is still fulfilling his son-in-law's responsibility.

The seventh prince's complexion was much better, but he had not yet gotten out of bed.

The injuries on the forehead were fine, but the injuries on the legs were quite serious. According to the imperial physician, I am afraid I will stay on the kang for the first half of a year.

The painkiller at this time is the ancient prescription Mafei San, which is used to treat trauma. Although the Seventh Prince has trauma, it mainly hurts his muscles and bones.

Because the leg he was injured was the one that had an old disability in his early years.

The muscles have atrophy. After this horse-detective injury, not only did the calf fracture, but the tendons on the heels were also broken.

The pain of breaking tendons and bones torture the Seventh Prince to become increasingly thin. Now, even if someone jumps out and says that the Seventh Prince is a "hard plan", no one will believe it.

Father's love is like a mountain, and Cao Yong, as the only insider, has a heavy heart.

When the Seventh Prince saw him, he was in a good mood and chatted and laughed. If it weren't for the cold sweat on his forehead, he wouldn't have seen that he was enduring the huge pain.

"Father-in-law, Mr. Fang Zhong has expertise in surgery, and his son-in-law has already sent people to visit Fujian to find people. If he could go to Beijing and connect his bones and tendons, he might be able to cure his father-in-law's legs." Cao Yong couldn't bear it and said.

The seventh prince waved his hand and said, "Why do you have to worry about the imperial physician here? Even if the prescription is good at public medical skills, it will not be able to resolve the near fire. Even if I find him, I should be almost as good as this far away."

In this world, there is a kind of pain relief, either next to it or opium.

The Seventh Prince's pain was so painful that the two imperial physicians who were ordered to take care of him were also seen. If he was diligent and recommended opium to relieve pain, wouldn't it be a poison to quench thirst?

When Cao Yong thought of this, when he left the Prince Chun's Mansion, he made a special trip to Hongzhuo and told him that he had sent someone to go south to invite famous doctors, asking him to stare at the two imperial physicians in the Imperial Hospital. If these two people exchanged prescriptions or recommended medicine, they must inform themselves.

"Famous doctor, the one with the surname Fang?" When Mr. Fang Zhong was in Beijing in the early years, he went to the Prince's Mansion for a medical treatment, so Hongzhuo still remembered him.

After hearing what his brother-in-law said, he didn't think much, but thought that his brother-in-law was like him and did not trust the "quack doctor" in the Imperial Hospital.

He still remembers clearly that the two imperial physicians in the Imperial Hospital said that their father was "dangerous" and they held some grudges. Thinking about the eighth uncle who died of illness, it was rumored that he died of the "quack doctor" in the Imperial Hospital. In addition to holding xenophobia, he was more guarded...

Tongzhou, wharf.

Due to the smooth flow, the Li family's ship arrived three days earlier than expected.

Li Xu left Daxiao and wore this year's white xiao, gray cloth clothes, white shoes, and a green cloth hat. He was kept white and fat without any silk, and looked a bit like a landlord in the countryside.

He turned around and watched the servants carry their mother's coffin to the shore.

Because they used the best longevity veal vein wood, it seemed difficult for more than a dozen servants to carry it. The two of them were doing their best, fearing that someone would accidentally tilt their bodies and disturb the old lady in the coffin.
