Chapter 510 Human Relationship

North Street, Duke’s Mansion.

Today is the day of the funeral of the late husband Demao. Seshtu and Cao Yi and his wife started working hard since dawn and prepared to celebrate the funeral; after dawn, they welcomed relatives and guests; at the time of Si, they left the city, and the team that sent the funeral to the funeral did not return to the city until dusk.

After surviving this, Seshtu and Cao Yi were exhausted.

Fortunately, the big thing has been completed, so there is no need to continue to endure it.

Cao Yi served Seshtu and then asked someone to arrange dinner, and the couple had dinner together.

These days, I have been with the guests, and I have been eating chicken, duck, fish and meat all day long, and I feel so crowded. Seshtu has no appetite, so I just want to fill a bowl with one bite.

Unexpectedly, the dining table was arranged and it turned out to be made of rice.

To make rice, it is just rice dumplings. To put it bluntly, it is to use cabbage pericardium to wrap old rice. When eating, use small pigeons or pheasant meat to cut into diced meat, fry the sauce with mushrooms, mix it in the rice, sprinkle some minced garlic, and some sesame oil. The taste is the most delicious.

Seeing that it was the cabbage heart that had been photographed, Seshtu was indeed very excited, so he crossed his legs and put it in his palm. He immediately took a piece of it in his palm, wrapped a rice bag, ate it in two bites, and reached out to get another piece.

While making rice, he smiled and said, "Why do you think of eating this? It's a good thing. This is a pheasant mushroom sauce? It's a good thing for serving rice. My mother also likes to eat this one before."

Seeing that he was eating sweetly, Cao Yi smiled and personally served a bowl of mutton porridge, saying, "Slow down, eat carefully, and it will not melt." At this point, he sighed and said, "Because my husband was having funeral, the eldest princess cried for several days, and heard from her breasts that she had been eating several meals, but she didn't move her chopsticks. She said she also liked to eat rice, so I made the kitchen prepare this. Thinking that I have eaten less in the past two days, I have prepared this place here.

Seshtu took the porridge with his empty hand, took a few sips, let out a long sigh, and said, "It's comfortable, but now it's warm to the heart. This year is also a weird thing. It's been the Lantern Festival, and it's still so cold that it's scary."

Cao Yi glanced out the window, but it was pitch black. Where could he see anything?

"Yes, look at it, this snow will fall until tomorrow." Cao Yi turned his head and said while serving porridge for himself.

The couple ate a bun of rice, drank mutton porridge with a few side dishes, and had a meal with relish.

After the couple finished their meal, Chunya brought a few maids to remove the table, and saw Xia Fu coming in and report, "Grandma, Eunuch Zhang asks for a meeting."

When Seshtu heard this, he waved his hand and said, "Please come in."

This father-in-law Zhang is an old man ordered by the late husband and is the steward of the Duke's Mansion. Sestu and Cao Yi are not easy to neglect. They have some respect for this father-in-law.

Eunuch Zhang entered, first greeted the two of them, then presented the account book with both hands, bowed and said, "Master, grandma, this is a favor for this funeral. Before the 'May 7th', the servant of the book book has been presented, and this has been nearly half a month."

"Eunuch Zhang sat down and talked. I have a lot of things to do today, and I think you are tired of it." Seshtu raised his chin and signaled Chunya to take the account book and hand it to his wife, then pointed to the chair and said.

It has been a month and a half since the two new masters came to handle the funeral. Although Eunuch Zhang knew that the couple was kind, he did not dare to let them go. He gave in two or three times before he sat next to the chair.

His expression was a little dazed and full of worries.

Cao Yi received the account book, but did not look through it immediately. Instead, he put it at hand.

She raised her head, looked at Eunuch Zhang, and said with a smile: "Dude, please relax. You have served my husband all your life and are a hero in the mansion. Even if the man is demoted to inherit the title, it is difficult for the mansion to keep his father-in-law, and the matter of retirement will be settled first."

It turns out that the title of my husband Demao is the Duke of the State for his kindness and is 80% entries.

The difference between entering the eight-point divine and not entering the eight-point divine is in addition to the eight-point divine system, including red wheels, purple reins, gem tops, peach feathers, cow horn lamps, tea mattresses, horse mattresses, and door nails, there is also whether eunuchs can be used.

There are so many yellow belts in the capital, and there are so many red belts that are qualified to use eunuchs, but only mansions with the support of the king or above can be used. Or they are usurped and will be dealt with by the clan's mansion.

In the sixth year of Shunzhi, the royal family was re-elected, and the princes were appointed as the twelve-class generals of Fengen. In addition to Rui, Li, Zheng, Yu, Su, Zhuang, Keqin, Shun inherited the eight kings, and inherited the great honors of the subordinates and inherited the generations, other princes, the princes were given the first class in the generations, some were sent to the Duke of Zhen, and some were sent to the Duke of Fu.

If the other branches are divided into fiefs, they will be descended to the general who will be benevolent, and the years have passed and will not be inherited again.

According to the rules, the Duke's Mansion here is the legitimate branch of the Prince Xuanxian County, and after the four generations of surrender, he should have been inherited by the Duke of Ensuance.

However, rules are rules. Whether to demote the Cheng Jue or the Duke of the Auxiliary Kingdom or the arrangement of Kangxi must be made. Some royal palaces have often been demoted to one level or two level of the title of the title of the Seizure.

If he was demoted, he would not enter the eighth-center Duke Mansion, so he would not be able to stay in the mansion to serve in the mansion, so he was also a little nervous.

Cao Yi thought of this and said these words to comfort him.

After hearing this, Eunuch Zhang burst into tears and stood up to kowtow to Seshtu and Cao Yi.

Seeing him trembling, Seshtu hurriedly asked Chunya to help him up and said angrily: "What are you doing? Why is this? My husband has already had a funeral, and I think it will take me a decree to come down soon. It's still the words of grandma, no matter what, father-in-law, don't be troubled by retirement."

Eunuch Zhang kept thanking her, wiped her tears with her sleeves, and said, "I entered the palace at the age of eight and went to the mansion here in my teens. I have been in this mansion for more than 40 years. I was also scared when I wanted to go outside. Now I just hope that the emperor would be kind and rewarded the title as a whole, which can satisfy the old slave's selfishness."

Seshtu nodded and said, "By mercy, the front and back yards cannot be separated from the father-in-law for a while, so I still need to worry more."

Eunuch Zhang lowered his sleeves and said, "Don't worry, if the old slave is still working in the mansion for a day, he will naturally be fully energetic and dare not neglect it at all."

He said a few more gossips. Because it was getting late, Eunuch Zhang did not delay much and retreated.

When he left the house, Seshtu turned around and said to Cao Yi: "It's an idea to look at the one who doesn't speak. Thanks to his help, the mansion has been stable and a proper person."

Cao Yi said: "Yes, this loyalty is commendable. If you can stay in the mansion, it will be a lot of worry."

While speaking, Cao Yi had already taken the account book, which recorded the money from each government. They were all "Xiao-Xiao-Xiao-Xiao-Xiao-Xiao-Xiao-Xiao-Xiao-Xiao-Xiao-Xiao-Xiao-Xiao-Xiao-Xiao-Xiao-Xiao-Xiao-Xiao-Xiao-Xiao-Xiao-Xiao-Xiao-Xiao-Xiao-Xiao-Xiao-Xiao-Xiao-Xiao-Xiao-Xiao-X

When he turned to the penultimate page, Cao Yi's expression was a little stiff.

Seshtu looked at it wrong, confused, and asked, "What's wrong? But what's wrong with the accounts?"

Cao Yi shook his head, smiled and said, "There is no problem with the accounts... I can't blame the second wife today and talked with several ladies Beizi and the Duke of the Kingdom of China. It turned out that she was following the big guy..." As he said that, he handed the account book to her husband.

Seshtu looked down and saw that in addition to the gift of twenty taels, there were also 500 taels of gifts, which was indeed a lot.

However, this gift is not appropriate.

The Cao family's house is in Beijing, and the gift is twenty taels and 300 taels are given. Cao Yi is nominally the girl in the eldest house and the niece of the second house. The gift of the second house should not have exceeded the long house.

Otherwise, if the two are compared, it will seem that the long-term relationship will treat the girl and the son-in-law will be unkind.

This was related to the sad things that happened to his wife. Seshtu didn't say much, so he closed the account book. He said, "Don't care too much. The second wife had just split up, maybe she didn't take advantage of the relationship and was negligent."

Others don’t know Zhao Jia’s personality, but Cao Yi knows it.

The most loves money as a landlord, even his concubines and concubines can deduct half of his monthly money, and he wishes he could spend a penny in half. Such a Zhaojia would generously send 500 taels of silver. If he had no purpose, who would believe it?

Cao Yi felt a sense of disgust, but when he thought of Cao Song, he sighed and didn't want to worry about him anymore.

However, this gift was not properly given, and it was rude to the eldest wife.

If someone who doesn't know the inside story knows and thinks that there is something wrong with the two rooms, they will compare and send the ritual to the ritual.

It seems that tomorrow I will send someone to call Cao Song over and say it. The second wife is a little unrestrained. As the eldest son, he always has to provoke the second house to avoid making the Cao family a joke.

Cao Yi looked at the account book and thought to himself.

Although she really can't get close to Zhao Jia, the legitimate mother, it depends on the relationship between her younger brothers and sisters, and it is not easy to ignore her.

Besides, although the parents' house and the two houses are separated, they cannot write the two characters "Cao" in one stroke. If something is wrong, the face of the Cao family will be lost, which will affect the reputation of Cao Yin and his son...

Xicheng, Cao Mansion, Study Room.

Although it was only one day before Zhiran was detained in Shuntian Mansion, Mr. Zhuang got a lot of news.

The victim Huang Dakui is indeed a Changping person, but he has no legitimate job. He said he was a odd job, but after interrogation, he couldn't tell why. He casually talked about several places, and after inquiring, he only had three or five days of activities.

Through the visit, I learned that Huang Dakui's mother was not "hit" for the first time, but she was hit by a car, but this time she hit someone.

A ignorant and idle bachelor, plus an old lady who loves to "collide" people, the mother and son don't look like good people no matter how they look at it. They should be living by "bumping into the car" in the market.

Now, the case is stuck in one place, that is how the old woman died.

If Zhiran really wanted to collide with Zhiran and fell to the ground and hit a stone, Zhiran's crime of "manslaughter" would still be inevitable. It was only according to the investigation by the Shuntian Prefecture Constable at the scene of the crime, it was a bluestone road.

Although there was snow, it was very flat and there were no other stones or other objects. The stone that caused people to die seemed a little abrupt.

Is this old woman unlucky and fell to the ground and hit the only stone nearby? Or is it that someone fished in troubled waters and tampered with it when everyone was not paying attention?

Even at the Shuntian Prefecture Office, I felt something was wrong. Wang Yi, the prefect of Shuntian Prefecture, was asking passers-by one by one to see if there was anything unusual in it. It seemed that he had no clue yet.

Cao Yin rubbed his forehead and asked with some confusion: "Xia Qing, what do you think? Now that the eighth prince is frustrated, the other princes are all quitting, and there is no smoke of gunpowder. Why do you use the Cao family as a raft?"

Mr. Zhuang said: "I am not sure why these incidents against the eldest son have been repeatedly targeted. Speaking of which, over the years, the eldest son has offended the people in Beijing. He is so nervous and careful, but he can't imagine which one is."

Cao Yin's face was a little heavy, and he thought about his son's itinerary in his heart, and he felt a little worried about it.

Then Mr. Zhuang continued, "By the way, there is news that the Thirteenth Prince went out last night and went to the Fourth Prince's mansion, and he found out that something happened to Zhiran."

Cao Yin nodded and said, "Well, that's true. The Fourth Prince had also visited the Ministry of Rites and asked me about the general reason. I was thinking about how he would pay attention to these people. I guess it was the Thirteenth Prince who asked him."

When Mr. Zhuang heard this, he frowned and said, "No wonder the Fourth Prince's Mansion sent a lot of people to the north city today. However, this is a matter of the Cao family. If he makes a name for himself, there will be suspicion in the two prime ministers, and it is difficult to defend himself when he makes trouble in front of the Lord Longsheng."

Cao Yin was not very worried about this.

It is not so easy for the monarch and minister to have been in contact with each other for fifty years.

He thought in his heart that it was the Fourth Prince's actions that really took care of his younger brother and was asked by the Thirteenth Prince to do his best; or he would give the Cao family a favor...

My son has always been different to this fourth prince. In the dream he mentioned, the new emperor...
