Qing Chuan's cousin is reborn

Hugh is impossible, but Kangxi still announced the eighth elder brother.He said: "Yinhu, I heard that you and your Fujin are having trouble? The ancients said, 'If you don't sweep a house, how can you sweep the world?' You can't even coax a woman well. How can I trust you to handle the errands?"

"In this way, you put down your errands first and take care of the inner house."

"Although I don't like Yue Le, you have to keep your word. Since you promised to take good care of his granddaughter, you must do it. You can't break your promise just because someone else is down."

Brother Eight always felt that Kangxi had something to say about the latter words.

He didn't dare to go into details, so he could only respectfully say: "My son, no, yes, it's Guo Luoluo, she"

Before the eighth elder brother could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Kangxi, who had a displeased face, "How did I hear that you spoiled the concubine too much? I also heard that you have been using Fujin's dowry money to live."

"Old Ba, you are my son, and I always thought I was a fair Ama. When you go out to build a mansion, no matter what your background is, the money I give you is the same. I thought that the money for Anjia was enough for you to support your family gone."

The eighth elder brother said that too many women in the backyard are not too many, there are no more than five or six people from Fujin to concubines.This number is smaller than the backyard of the fifth and fourteenth elder brothers.How come others are fine?

Being pointed out by the emperor that the silver is not enough, even a thick-skinned eighth elder brother is also flushed.He hesitated for a long time and finally said: "No, it's my son's fault. Guo Luoluo's extravagance has become a habit since he was a child, and the expenditure in the government is relatively large. So"

Kangxi's eyes were full of disappointment.Until now, he still put everything on Guo Luoluo's head.

Did he think he would not confront Guo Luoluo, or was he just a confused king who didn't know what he was doing?

Looking at his son who still didn't repent, he didn't bother to say more, "That's all I said, you can do it yourself." After finishing speaking, he asked Liang Jiugong to invite the eighth elder brother out.

The more Kangxi thinks about it, the more uncomfortable he feels. He can understand that his son has other thoughts when he grows up.Big Brother and Third Brother are excellent, right?But he never considered candidates other than the prince.Not to mention that they are inferior to their eighth child in courage and courage.

After an unknown amount of time, Kangxi said: "Liang Jiugong, you asked someone to give 2 taels of silver to Bafujin, and you said it was my compensation for her over the years. In addition, you made Concubine Liang a good concubine."

He had a bad impression of Fujin at first, thinking that she was arrogant and jealous, but now he started to sympathize with her.If it wasn't for him being so embarrassing, he would have wanted to apologize to others on behalf of his son.

How long has passed, and Lao Ba thought that Guo Luoluo was playing with his temper, but he never stopped to think about why?

In the past, he felt that he was sorry for Lao Ba by allocating Guo Luoluo's family to Lao Ba.Not now, but now he feels that betrothing Guo Luoluo to Lao Ba is a humiliation to others.Without Lao Ba, with the backing of Amber House, she might be able to live well.

This is the first time Guo Luoluo has received a reward from Kangxi since his wedding. ,

The emperor is the weathervane, Kangxi rewarded her, and praised her for being qualified, which is better than anything else.

And the emperor rewarded the good concubine, which also made everyone talk about it.They suddenly thought of Concubine Li, thinking that Concubine Li was the same way back then, she was promoted inexplicably.Not long after that, Cao's house became cold.

What about Concubine Liang?

The eighth elder brother has not made any achievements recently. On the contrary, the side Fujin in his family is the daughter of the Cao family, and he brought more than 50 taels of silver when he got married.

Now the story of the Cao family and his wife has spread, let alone corruption and bribery, there are not many clean officials in the office, everyone has done it.But not everyone has the courage to lend usury money.What's more, the Cao family forced people to death.

Many people speculated that because the Cao family wanted to take action against the eighth elder brother, this reward was to paralyze them.

There was also discussion in the palace, Concubine Xuan said: "What do you think the emperor wants to do, just sent away a Li concubine and then a good concubine, he must get enough five concubines before giving up."

Huiyi Derong and her who enjoyed the treatment of concubine before, but later Concubine Yi and Concubine De were deposed, and she had a formal canonization.She thought that the emperor finally remembered the harem system and planned to implement it.

He later brought out Concubine Li and Concubine Guo. Even though these two people did not have imperial decrees and canonization ceremonies, Concubine Li didn't even have a jade plate, and the records of the harem directly slapped her down.But facts are facts.

She can understand that the emperor wants to deal with the Cao family and intends to numb the mind of the Cao family, but what she can't understand is why he has to be a concubine.

What now?

No wonder everyone thinks so.The same strategy will not work if used twice.

To be honest, Yunrou didn't understand, she said: "I really can't answer you. Don't mention you, I'm also puzzled."

Concubine Liang is in the sixth house, and she doesn't have much contact with him. The only impression she has is that this person is too timid, not like the lord of the first house should be.And then there's the fact that she's pretty.

is really beautiful.

Concubine Liang was born in the early years of Kangxi, and she is less than forty now. She looks at most in her 30s.It doesn't look old, but it has a kind of beauty that still exists.

It's not that she is exaggerating, Concubine Liang's beauty has always been unique in the harem.

Of course, she didn't think that it was Kangxi who suddenly found out that Concubine Liang was good-looking and fell in love with her.The two have known each other for more than 20 years. If they fell in love, they would have loved each other long ago, so there is no need to wait until now.

She guessed, maybe it was what Concubine Xuan thought, the emperor was going to use the same move to deal with the eighth elder brother.

Concubine Liang also thought so, she held the hand of the eighth elder brother anxiously, "Yinhu, forget it, let's not fight. Can't we just live a good life like this?"

I heard that Concubine Li was still dripping blood when she was carried out, and her arm exposed through the white cloth was as pale as paper.She lived so extravagantly before, there was only a roll of broken straw mats that day, and there was not a single person in sackcloth and mourning.

No, there are still, the maid Lan Gui next to her is her dutiful son and grandson.

Concubine Li is dead, she doesn't know what happened to Lady Lan, anyway, she hasn't seen her since that day.Concubine Liang guessed that she must not end well either.

Concubine Li is like this, she is very afraid that she will end up like this in the future.

There is also the eighth elder brother. She also read books when she was a child. Since ancient times, those who failed to win the heirloom have never ended well. She doesn't want her son to do the same.

The concubine Liang begged, and the eighth elder brother looked at her for a long time, and just when she thought that the eighth elder brother was about to let go, she heard the eighth elder brother say: "Emiang, it's late, everything is late."

"It's not too late, it's not too late at all. I can go to Concubine Shu and ask her to intercede. As long as you find your way back, the emperor will give you a lighter sentence."

The eighth elder brother broke free from her, and said in a hurry: "I beg Concubine Shu? Why are you begging her? Er Niang, you are always like this, always wanting to beg this and that, but never try hard on your own. If you are willing to be like Wu Ya Shi worked so hard to win favor, does my son need to work so hard?"

Who caused him to behave like this, and it wasn't him, a mother who doesn't argue about anything but only knows to hide?

Er Niang never thought, what would happen to him as a son if his mother and concubine were not favored?

He also wants to live a good life?

Without his mother to rely on, he could only fight for it by himself.

His mother-in-law used to beg Concubine Hui for something, but now he started a new job, Concubine Hui made it clear that she would not help her, so she turned around and planned to beg Concubine Shu.

This is the most unacceptable thing for eight princes.

The eighth elder brother's gaze successfully stabbed Concubine Liang, and Concubine Liang took a few steps back.She murmured: "I knew you were blaming me."

She said two lines and shed tears.

After saying those words, the eighth elder brother felt uncomfortable.

Concubine Liang doesn't fight for favor except her temperament. She is really good to him. She is the one who would rather suffer for herself than let him live well.

A good concubine who is not favored gets few rewards, but if there is any reward, she will never use it on herself, but give it to him.She also kept the monthly money and rewards given by the palace, and gave them all to him.

Sometimes the eighth elder brother would rather Liang Concubine be more selfish, so that he would not have to think about her when doing things, and would not have to see her sad.

Reaching out to help Concubine Liang sit down, he opened his mouth, "Emiang, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to blame you. I have always been very grateful, thank you for your maintenance. But," he turned Concubine Liang's head to force her to look at him, "However, I will not give up. I don't want my child to live his whole life dependent on others."

After speaking, he let go of Concubine Liang, turned and walked out.

Concubine Liang looked at his back as he walked away, and crouched weakly on the ground.

"Cao Yin took bribes and Cao Li's lawlessness. Although the crime is not as serious as marrying a daughter, it is also a fact that Cao Yin embezzled his daughter and benefited from it. Now the dowry purchased by the Cao family in the eight-sided Fujin except the Ministry of Internal Affairs is confiscated, as an example to others. this."

Liang Jiugong looked at Cao Fangfujin who was limp on the ground expressionlessly, without any disturbance in his heart, he said: "Bafang Fujin, can you bring out the dowry list? There is also the money at the bottom of the box. The emperor said that there is no less than a penny." .”

The specific amount of silver in the box will not be written on the dowry list. Thanks to the servants of the Cao family, he was able to recover it without missing a penny.

Cao Zhilan was paralyzed on the ground, and she looked at the eighth elder brother for help, but the eighth elder brother looked embarrassed, "Zhilan, this is the meaning of Khan Ama, we don't want to violate it, so you can take it out. In fact, this is also good , hand over what the Cao family gave you, and you will have nothing to do with the Cao family from now on, and you will be able to stand up straight when you go out in the future."

As soon as she finished speaking, she heard Ba Fujin's sneer, she didn't care at all that the people in Qianqing Palace were in front of her, and said: "What did Ben Fujin say, our eighth master is the most ruthless and widowed, seeing that you are useless Value, it’s good if he doesn’t make trouble, so how can he help you? Beg him?”

It is better to beg him than to beg your own.

Although she won't help either.

Ba Fujin opened his mouth to tear off the fig leaf of the eighth elder brother, making the eighth elder brother ashamed and angry, he said: "Guo Luoluo," seeing the eighth elder brother looking over, he said helplessly, "I know you blame me for failing to keep my promise, I was the one who was sorry for you first, and you should be angry. But if we have something to say behind closed doors, wouldn’t it make people laugh in front of Eunuch Liang.”

After he finished talking about the eight blessings, he turned his head and looked at Liang Jiugong again, "Eunuch Liang, that's what she is, don't mind, please turn around with Ama Khan." He then handed Liang Jiugong a purse.

Liang Jiugong didn't answer, he said: "Brother Ba is polite. I heard that Brother Ba has a good relationship with Fujin. Now that Fujin is in trouble, let's keep this money to help. Although it may not be enough, it is better than nothing."

Liang Jiugong is bad enough, he even followed Nouyu in front of the eighth elder brother.

He helped the emperor to investigate the affairs of Ba Age's mansion. If the emperor knew it, he naturally knew it too.In the past, he thought that the eighth elder brother was good, and he smiled at everyone.Now he is nothing but disdainful.

Some time ago, how much did the Cao family pay for the Ba Age Mansion?It's only been a few days, and the eighth elder brother gave up when he said he would give up, without any nostalgia.Such indifference and ignorance are really disgusting.

Ba Fujin laughed loudly, "Eunuch Liang said that well. Someone here will bring Cao Fang Fujin a tael of silver. Cao Fang Fujin, don't be too polite. Anyway, you greeted me for a few days. Now you are in trouble. Ben Fujin should also help."

Cao's villain is successful, and during this period of time she has been run on her a lot. Although the other party didn't get any benefits, it was also disgusting.Now that he has the opportunity, of course Bafujin will come back in disgust.

It's a pity that she doesn't have a copper coin, otherwise someone would definitely throw her a copper coin.

Cao Zhilan raised her head, she waited for Fujin bitterly, but Fujin was unmoved, still full of sarcasm.She was defeated in the end.

The Cao family's treatment finally came down. Except for the Sun family and the Ma family who had just married into the Cao family, they were released, and the others were either executed or exiled.

All the rewards of the Sun family were taken back, except for the dowry that he had brought when he married into the Cao family.

Mrs. Ma was worse than her. Most of the dowry that Mrs. Ma brought was dowry gifts from the Cao family, and these were also taken back.There are not many things left for her by the Ma family, not enough to eat.

I don't know whether to say luck or misfortune.Mrs. Ma is pregnant, and this is the only great-grandson of the Cao family. Mrs. Sun will not let her starve to death, and Mrs. Ma has settled for basic necessities of life.Unfortunately, this child will bear the reputation of "the son of a criminal minister" at birth, and cannot be an official or businessman within three generations.

Mrs. Ma must have hated Cao's family in her heart after she ended up like this. She is a woman, let alone helping Cao Zhilan, it would be good not to ask her for help.

There is also the Sun family, it is true that the Sun family loved Cao Zhilan before.Now she can't protect herself, even if she wants to help, she can't do anything.

Not to mention that there is Ma Shi beside her who regards her things as her own. If she finds out that she is helping Cao Zhilan, Ma Shi can tear her up.

There is no support from her natal family, and the only one who can be relied on at present, no, it should be said that the only one who can hold her in her hands is the eighth elder brother.

After thinking about it, she wiped her eyes and smiled, "Master, don't worry, I know your difficulties. What happened to Cao's family is the fault of my parents. As a daughter, I should bear it. But you are different. , you are His Royal Highness, and the Cao family is not your official Yue family, so there is no need for you to run around for the Cao family."

She turned her head to look at Eunuch Liang, and said, "Eunuch, Fujin used some of the money. I wonder if I can use something of the same value to repay the debt."

Kangxi had already guessed this possibility, and specially instructed Liang Jiugong before leaving.Therefore, Liang Jiugong said: "The emperor is merciful, and this request is naturally granted. However, for the side Fujin, repaying debts with things can't be counted as its original value. In this way, how about a [-]% discount for you?"

In order to prove that he did not embarrass Cao Zhilan, Liang Jiugong added: "The fourth elder brother lives next door, you can also go to inquire about it. There is always a [-]% discount for repaying debts, and the [-]% discount is for the sake of the eighth elder brother." .”

The fourth elder brother hated corrupt officials like Cao Yin the most. Liang Jiugong knew that even if the Cao family really sent someone to ask, the fourth elder brother would not help them.Not to mention, the eighth elder brother and the fourth elder brother had some problems, and he was sure that the Cao family would not go.

The emperor said, let him get as much skin as possible, Liang Jiugong is a good slave, so naturally he has to follow suit.

If it weren't for the fear of pressing the eighth brother, he wouldn't even give it a [-]% discount, so he would just give a [-]% discount.Anyway, it wasn't him who was in urgent need of money.

With her nails digging into her flesh, Cao Zhilan firmly suppressed the urge to scold. She tried her best to smile, but the smile turned out to be uglier than crying.

Cao Zhilan said, "Thank you, Eunuch."

She has written down the shame of today, and when the eighth elder brother comes to power in the future, she will make this dead slave look good.

Cao Zhilan spent 3 taels of silver in less than half a month in charge of Eighth Prince's Mansion.The money was not just used for the back house, 5000 taels of it was given to the eighth elder brother to win contacts.

3 taels of silver, she wants to take out something worth 5 taels, it hurts to think about it.

What's more, things are not silver, so they can be marked with a clear price. The things Liang Jiugong took were valued at [-] yuan, and when he met a buyer who liked it, he sold them for more than [-] yuan.

What can Cao Zhilan say?She couldn't say anything, she could only watch the other party pull things in.

Nearly half of the dowry was taken away, Cao Zhilan was so distressed that she almost fainted.She covered her heart, "Fu Jin's housekeeper is a matter of course. I didn't know the rules before, but now I know I was wrong. Let Fujin manage the house affairs."

Ba Fujin just gave her a big roll of the eyes, she looks like a fool?

In order to compete with her, this idiot Cao Zhilan directly tripled the monthly salary of the servants in the mansion. A rough envoy woman has five or six hundred coins, and the maids around the master are all given five taels of silver.

What does she do?

If she really took care of it, how much money would she need to make up according to this payment method.If they go back to the previous month's routine, this group of people will be willing, and they won't be able to trip her up.

Whoever wants this hot potato will want it, anyway, she won't take it.

Ba Fujin turned around and left without saying a word.She showed her attitude with actions.

Cao Zhilan wanted to cry, but she had no money, so she couldn't continue selling her dowry, right?

The eighth elder brother comforted: "Don't worry, I still have some money on hand, and I will bring it to you in a while."

Kangxi's words still have some effect, and now the eighth elder brother finally opened his mouth to give the money.It's already halfway through this month, and the monthly payment has already been paid out, so he asked Cao Zhilan to take 300 taels of silver.

"From now on, I will give you 500 taels of silver every month as the expenses of the family. The girls in Fujin's courtyard are also from my eighth elder brother's house, so don't miss out on their monthly money."

Last month, Cao Zhilan paid the money herself. She deliberately didn't give the money to the slaves in the main courtyard.It can be said that Bafujin is truly self-sufficient.

Now all the affairs in the mansion have reached the ears of Khan Ama, worried that he will leave a bad impression on the emperor, so naturally he can't treat them differently.

Eighth Prince's attitude is unquestionable, but Cao Zhilan still wants to cry. What can 500 taels of silver do, there is not much left after the monthly payment, and the rest needs to be filled by herself?

Cao Zhilan gritted her teeth, she summoned the steward of the mansion, and said: "You must have heard what Eighth Brother said today. Since it is the rule set by the master, it is not easy for Fujin on this side to refute. Fujin on this side will give you three days , you come up with a charter."

With most of the dowry gone, Cao Zhilan was feeling distressed, and she didn't want to pay the eighth elder brother's house.Anyway, the eighth elder brother said it in front of everyone, so she just put the matter on the eighth elder brother.

At the end, she said again: "I also blame Fujin on my own side for this matter, because the Emperor is furious about the Cao family's affairs, and the Eighth Prince's House should keep a low profile. The Cao family was too extravagant back then, we should learn from it."

What Cao Zhilan said was righteous, and when the news spread, even the eighth elder brother gave her a high look. ,

Be smart.

Although Cao Zhilan used him, Eighth Prince didn't mind.What he admired most were smart women, and he even thought that if Cao Zhilan could stay smart forever, she would be more suitable than Guo Luoluo to be the Eighth Fortune Jin.

The dowry obtained from Cao Zhilan, Kangxi didn't put it into his private treasury, he gave the silver to the fourth elder brother, and asked him to put it into the household department.One point for the decoration of the objects was given to the concubine and the princes.

Yun Rou is the noble concubine, she and Tong Guifei are in the lead, and the same as the two of them is the crown prince.The remaining concubines Hui, Concubine Rong and Concubine Xuan got the same thing, Concubine Guo, Concubine Liang and Concubine An got the same thing, and the remaining little nobles Changzai only got two things for those who gave birth to imperial heirs.

Except for the crown prince, all the elder brothers are the same. Even the eighth elder brother, Kangxi sent a few pieces over.

Concubine Xuan almost died laughing, "If someone says that the emperor didn't do it on purpose this time, I'm in a hurry."

The things were carried out from the eighth prince's mansion, and then turned around and sent back, and the slap in the face is not like this.

What they didn't expect was that the next day after receiving the reward, the elder brother went to the eighth elder brother's mansion, and he went to thank him.

"The household department doesn't have enough money, and Ama Khan has been worrying. It's been a long time since I gave us a reward. I got so many good things today, and my brother would like to thank the eighth brother. Don't say anything, and the eldest brother treats you to wine."

It is definitely not possible to go, if the eighth elder brother goes, he will be ridiculed by the whole capital tomorrow.Just like that, in less than a while, the elder brother's words spread to all the empresses in the palace.

Concubine Xuan sprayed out the tea directly, and she gave her eldest brother a thumbs up.

Loss or big brother loss.

Yunrou said faintly: "That's not necessarily the case." Yunrou threw another bomb, "The things that the emperor sent to Ba Prince's house were directly for Ba Fujin."

The words were spoken by the emperor himself.Absolutely can't fake it.

Concubine Xuan was stunned, "Why haven't I heard of it?" Then she realized that the eighth elder brother's house was not the Cao family, and whether it was the eighth elder brother or Cao Zaifujin, he definitely didn't want outsiders to know about such a shameful thing.As for Ba Fujin, she alone should not be able to compete with the two of them, and even if she wanted to, she might not be able to spread the news.

Concubine Xuan wanted to help Ba Ge to spread the word, but she thought that Ba Fujin gave up in the end.

The dog jumped over the wall when he was in a hurry. It really made Brother Ba anxious. If he took his anger on Fujin, it would be her fault.
