Chapter 1256 Officials (Part 1)

The next day, Cao Yong left the city and went to the Old Summer Palace to hand over the sign.

Because the Seventeenth Prince arrived in Beijing first, all the ones that should be reported were almost the same, so Cao Yong did not stay in front of the imperial court for long, but he was sent off after answering a few words.

After all this trouble, it was already noon when I returned to the city.

I went to the yamen to read the official documents. At this time, the Ministry of Revenue has nothing to do, but it is still leisurely.

The third day of returning to Beijing is the Dragon Boat Festival, and it is also the day when the old man from the Nian family "sends three" to "send three".

Cao Yong went to the yamen to make a move, then returned home, changed into plain clothes, and went to the New Year's house with his wife to celebrate.

The current Nian house is still in the original Duke's Mansion, but it is not the Duke's Mansion.

Although I was exempted from the crime of the previous year, I was exempted from the Duke of the Kingdom, and the mansion I lived in had exceeded the system, so I took off the plaque and demolished the over-the-court places from the front door to the main room of the front yard.

The yard seemed increasingly empty, and the mourning shed was built in the front yard. Although it was also white, except for the Nian family, there were only a few slingers, which made the scene a little deserted.

Cao Yong and his wife personally worshipped the sacrifice, but gave the Nian family a lot of face.

Although Nian Xiyao was over fifty years old, his real gratitude on his face was not like a false statement.

Cao Yong sighed in his heart. Although the news that the emperor sent the imperial physician to celebrate the New Year's family last month had been spread and Nian Gengyao and his descendants were also pardoned, everyone was still worried.

The Nian family is only the elderly, weak, sick and disabled. In the eyes of the world, there is no hope of revival. Even for the sake of good looks, they often send the manager to send some rituals. There is no court official who will attend the ceremony.

I went to the mourning hall to worship first. There were only three or four young children wearing mourning clothes who knelt down to the chantress, but Nian Xi was not seen.

Cao Yong first went to the spirit to worship, and then followed Nian Xiyao to sit in the shed for tea.

Although it was only morning, it was May of the lunar calendar and the weather was very stuffy.

Cao Yong glanced at the Lingtai, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Is the funeral date decided?"

Nianxialing is the highest elder in Nian's family. If Nian's family is not in decline, it is necessary to stay in July 7 for forty-nine days. But now Nian's family has fallen, and the remaining Nian's family cannot withstand a long period of mourning.

But even if the stop is short and the weather is so hot, a large amount of ice is needed to keep the body from rotting every day.

When Nian Xiyao heard this, his face showed a look of pain.

A man in his fifties has his eyes red because of his hard pussy.

People in the world pay attention to filial piety, and pay more attention to white joy than red joy.

Nian Xiyao was ashamed of his father's glory. But he was not a foolish filial person. He ignored the family's efforts and came to mourn, which would only make the Nian family's situation worse and worse.

"It's scheduled for the 11th of this month..." Nian Xiyao said in a hoarse voice.

For ordinary people, there are also 3 or 5, 5 or 7 days, and most of them are odd.

But Nian Xialing was a resigned chief official and a prince’s grandfather, so it was a bit unreasonable to stop him for nine days.

Cao Yong saw that Nian Xiyao's difficulties were just because he was afraid of getting tired of the emperor. After all, the Nian family was a family of criminals, and in terms of identity, it was not as good as ordinary people.

Thinking of the worldly and wise elder, looking at Nian Xiyao with a sad face in front of him, Cao Yong whispered: "Maybe the emperor will send someone to sacrifice. If it is cheap, it's better to stop for a few more days. Gu Quan's decency."

Nian Xiyao was stunned when he heard this, as if he was thinking about the possibility of the emperor sending envoys.

No matter how domineering Nian Gengyao was back then, the old master of the Nian family was innocent.

Cao Yong took out a pair of cards from his sleeve, pushed Nian Xiyao down, and said, "This is a pair of cards from Daoxiangcun, which can make people go over to get 500 kilograms of cakes. I also think of a way to find a way to get ice cubes. If there is too much, it's hard to say, and it's time to maintain the "Three Seven" as the same as the "Santhemum".

Given the current situation of Nian family, there are not many hiding customers. Even if you stop "Three Seven" and add a funeral, five hundred kilograms of cakes are enough.

In addition, the ice cubes are big.

Although Nian Xiyao was very grateful, he was a little hesitant.

After a major change, he has become a frightened bird.

If the emperor was really decent and sent someone to worship the sacrifice, it would be reasonable for the Nian family to organize the funeral as an official family; if the emperor had no movement, the Nian family might have a verbal talk.

Fortunately, at this moment, the Nian family housekeeper came over quickly and reported that the emperor sent someone to pay tribute.

After hearing this, Nian Xiyao stood up and went out to welcome the angels.

In addition to a minister who led the guards and brought ten guards to worship the sacrifice, he also brought an imperial edict: to pay a sacrifice once according to the funeral of the first-class duke.

Nian Xiyao burst into tears, bowed his head to the ground, saying "The grace of heaven is vast."

This is another final conclusion.

Even if you cannot pass on your title to your descendants, you will be able to be a grandfather as your Duke.

Just thinking that first-class official funerals have precedents to be tested, which is becoming more and more complicated and has to be oversized. Cao Yong couldn't help but have a headache for Nian Xiyao...

After returning from the Nian Mansion, Cao Yong went directly to the Ministry of Revenue.

The news from the capital has always been spread quickly. By the afternoon, the emperor sent someone to the Nian family to pay tribute. The news also heard from the Ministry of Revenue Department, and several versions were released.

In addition to saying that the Minister of the Interior was offering sacrifices, there was also saying that the Nian family's nephew Prince Fuhui went to offer sacrifices in person.

After listening to Jiang Jian’s story, Cao Yong couldn’t help but fall into deep thought.

When he heard that the people from the Nian family came in the morning, he thought it would be Prince Fuhui, but he did not expect that the scale of the sacrifice was lower than that for the ministers and the guards.

Although Prince Fuhui lost his mother, everyone knows that this little prince is much favored by the emperor. However, this prince has never been very healthy due to the weak symptoms of the fetus.

On a hot day, it was a matter of hard work that a young child went to his grandfather's family to worship, but he was filial. He may not be able to withstand this trouble, but it was a different story.

It seems that the emperor is a bit sincere in his favor for Fuhui. But if I remember correctly, this little prince can't last long.

When Luoya returned home, when Chu Yu said that Cao Yong realized that after the old man died, an old lady who served him in daily life also joined in the funeral.

Because there was not enough ice, the old lady stopped until today and sent it out of the city to the ground in the morning.

Although Cao and Yong and his wife felt a little heavy after going to the festival, it was the Dragon Boat Festival and the family had to hold a few tables of banquets for fun, and they didn't care about the difficulty of the Nian family.

Although Zhuang and Xiucai Chai were a little out of tune, they were also invited to the table for the sake of Niu Niu and Zhuang Yanping.

The brightness of Zhuang's family brought a bit of village spirit compared with the female family of the Cao family; while when Chai Xiucai saw Shangshu Cao who had "good face and evil hearts", he held his breath and concentrated. Even though his words were a little clear and sour, he also took a bit of caution.

Everyone in the East Mansion also came over, and Cao Xiang was on the front table.

There were two seats in front, including Cao Yong’s brothers, Zhuang Yanping and Chai Xiucai; there were several small seats next to him, including Tianyou, Hangsheng, Changsheng, etc.

Cao Xiang was in the Hanlin Academy and was hoping that his nephew would also enter the Hanlin Academy. At the banquet, he turned around and asked Tianyou a few questions about Shujishi's preparation for the exam.

Tianyou has long been calm. Although he is not very arrogant, he patted his chest and said that he will definitely pass the exam, but he is calm and composed.

When Cao Xiang heard this, he was happy and praised him for a few words. It was a pity for Zuo Cheng. If he hadn't been sick during the exam, Zuo Cheng would have hope of being the third-class team with Zuo Cheng's qualifications. However, it would be fine to delay one subject. After waiting for three years, they were only nineteen years old.

Tianyou said: "My nephew listened to their two meanings, and wanted to prepare for the Six-Posted Examination in July."

When Cao Xiang heard this, he disagreed and looked at Cao Yong and said, "Brother, my two nephews, Shang Xiao, have been in office for a few years late. It is better to have a regular journey in the imperial examination. He will be a little slower to be promoted to a missed official."

After the Xingbang came out, Cao Yong met the two brothers. The man had a talk. He knew their plans and smiled and said, "It's better to let them come out to see it first. It will take three years to keep the next subject. I will only become a nerd after I close my studies."

After all, Cao Xiang didn't say much, so he said in a different way: "Zuo Cheng is a little clever and has some hope in the exam. It's probably not easy to live there."

Cao Yong also knew that Zuo Zhu was not very clever and thought about how to place his adopted son.

Seeing that my father and uncle were worried about Zuozhu, Hang Seng smiled and said, "Father and uncle don't have to worry about Brother Song's future. Many of the royal palace officials in my mansion are empty. If it really doesn't work, let Brother Song go over and make up for the gap."

It was just a few gossips between father, son, uncle and nephew, but Chai Xiucai's eyes were red when he heard it.

Jinshi, Hanlin Academy, Shujishi, these are all things he pursued for half his life with the books of sages. He was "learning and talented" but had no luck; the yellow-mouthed child opposite him occupies the brightness of his family and has a bright future.

Let’s listen to what “six letters” and “officials under the royal palace” are cheap as if they are drinking water.

I haven't come back for several days, and there are two more male guests at the family dinner, so of course Hang Seng takes a look at it.

At this time, he could see that Chai Xiucai's eyebrows and eyes were flickering, something was wrong.

After using it, he talked to his brother-in-law about his aunt and his elder brother-in-law, and always felt that this person's eyes were not right.

Tianyou had already helped the foreign affairs in the mansion, so he sent someone to reply to the servant who was serving in the guesthouse and asked about Chai Xiucai and his wife.

But I really asked about something.

"That Mr. Chai has a bad temper. In the past two days, he saw Tiandi quarrel with Master Zhuang, and he vaguely mentioned his aunt, raising him, and so on." The servant replied.

Hengsheng was confused, but Tianyou learned from the butler that the reason why Chai Xiucai was kicked out of Cao's mansion ten years ago.

It sounds nice now, called "fostering"; I had to take people back to Jiangnan, but it was just the property that Mr. Zhuang had established in the capital in his early years.

Tianyou waved his hand and sent the servant down, feeling annoyed, and said to Hang Seng: "This guy is greedy, it seems that he really needs to be more careful so that he can't be too confused and disturb his aunt's marriage."

Hang Seng asked the reason clearly, and then became angry and said, "He dares! He can't beat him to death!"

Niu Niu grew up with their brothers, like an elder sister.

This time, the dealer sent someone to Beijing, and they felt a little unhappy, and they always felt that their little aunt wanted to give others a piece of it.

Now the eldest son-in-law of the dealer is planning to make trouble in Cao's house, how can their brothers follow...
