Chapter 744: Injustice Soul (Part 1)

Cao Mansion, living room.

Cao Yong did not refuse the silver that Li Wei returned to the donated one. It was not that he was stingy and took the thousands of taels of silver seriously, but that he was unwilling to make Li Wei embarrassed.

From the day he met Li Wei, Cao Yong really developed the intention to make good relationships, after all, the other party was the important governor of the future. However, favors can be big or small, and if the other party feels burdened, it may be counterproductive.

Li Wei was relieved when he saw that Cao Yong was willing to accept the money.

He was still in trouble, what if Cao Yong refused to check the cash? After all, he was a big man, too fucked and afraid that Cao Yong would look down on him.

Cao Yong's eyes looked at Li Wei a little more serious. After years of interaction, it would be fake if he had no affection. Not to mention that Li Wei, who looked reckless and understood in his heart, had a little temper towards Cao Yong.

"You Jie, now you have become an official, which is not as usual. In the past, even if you want to live a life, you just deal with yourself. If you don't care about anything in the future, you will ruin the people. If you accidentally shook your eyes, you will harm others and yourself. If one day, Jie becomes a corrupt official, then Cao will not dare to be a friend." Cao Ying thought of Li Wei's usual careless nature and had to speak out a few words of advice.

Among them, it is also my own selfishness. I don’t want Li Wei to make any mistakes or leave any bad impression on the Fourth Prince. With Li Wei’s official career, the days when the monarch and his ministers meet should not be far away.

Seeing Cao Yong speaking solemnly, Li Wei stopped smiling and said seriously: "Don't worry, Mr. Cao, although I, Li Wei, have no ink in my stomach, knows etiquette, righteousness, integrity and shame. When I come to be an official, I will never forget the root of being a human being. In the past few years in the capital, Li Wei has seen many of those messy things. Not to mention that Mr. Cao hates it, even Li Wei can't stand that dirty."

The topic was a bit heavy, Cao Yong sighed, and he seemed to have been worried. After contacting him over the years, he also knew Li Wei's character. Although he came from a wealthy family, he was much kinder than ordinary people.

"If you don't talk about this, it's a shame. Since Youjie's wish is fulfilled, I also have a gift here. Don't be too careless." Cao Yong said with a smile, took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and sent it to Li Wei.

Li Wei was a little confused and reached out to take it. It was Zhang's house deed, located in Shitou Hutong outside Qianmen.

"Master Cao, this..." Li Wei looked up at Cao Yong and said hesitantly.

Before he could finish his words, Cao Yong waved his hand and said, "You, the title of "Master" will be abandoned from now on. Although you have been in my house for two years, you are not a guest. You either call me my name or a character. Although the title is just a code name and can't be regarded as anything, you will develop in your career in the future. We will be a minister in the same palace, so this must be made clear."

Seeing that Cao Yong was speaking bluntly, Li Wei felt a little embarrassed.

Cao Yong smiled and patted Li Wei on the shoulder and said, "Although Youjie is not well-read, he is compassionate to the heaven and the others. I believe that Youjie will always make great achievements, be appointed as the prime minister for one day, and leave a name in history."

Li Wei was a little embarrassed by Cao Yong's praise, and said with a smirk: "I, Li Wei, are just a countryman. If I hadn't been in the mansion here for two years and followed them in and out of the government office to see the world, my etiquette would not be perfect. I will never thank you for your kindness. I, Li Wei, remember the kindness of my greatness in my heart."

Although Cao Yong was unwilling to have a guest of honor with Li Wei because he knew that Li Wei was the fourth prince who would use it in the future. However, in Li Wei's eyes, Cao Yong had always been more respectful than kissing, so he was still respectful in his words.

He was originally the son of a rich gentry in the countryside. Before coming to the capital, the biggest official he had ever met was the magistrate. Cao Yong was the eldest son of the Earl's Mansion or the Heshuo's son-in-law. The two had very different identities.

Seeing Li Wei like this, Cao Yong felt very regretful.

Well, there is still fairness in the world. He has not opened his heart and truly made Li Wei a friend, so how can he ask Li Wei to be heart-to-heart?

The fate between people must not be forced, and it is better to have such a relationship that is neither far nor close now.

But he didn't know that Li Wei had already regarded him as a half-teacher in his heart.

Although Li Wei is older than the two, when it comes to their career experience, Cao Yong is the first to do things.

"We must do it well and not be looked down upon by the adults." Li Wei clenched his fists and secretly warned himself...

In fact, Li Wei is also strong. If someone else is backed by the big tree of the Cao family, he would have to come up with some names and make connections without names. On the other hand, Cao Yong was willing to make friends with him, and he did not make him face.

Since joining the Ministry of War as the Minister of War, Li Wei moved to his new house and never entered the gate of Cao's mansion.

Xiaoman couldn't help but complain a few times, even Jiang Jian felt a little embarrassed. Cao Yong didn't think much about it. At this time, it would be better to draw a clear distance. Should Li Wei take the hat of "Cao family" in the future, but the gains are not worth the loss.

The "Meng Guangzu Case" that caused a lot of controversy finally made a loud noise and a little rain. Because a cabinet scholar came forward to talk to the third prince, it was just that the third prince was busy with book reviews in recent years.

The "buzzing" sound in the court immediately became quiet.

The so-called cabinet is the close counselor around the emperor. If the emperor had not nodded, how could anyone in the cabinet come forward to talk to the third prince?

In recent years, the emperor has been in a moody manner too many times. Even if he has a grudge with the third prince and wants to take advantage of the situation, he will not dare to take action at this time.

The third prince’s affairs have not yet ended, and the ninth prince, who has been silent for half a year, has made a comeback.

The Ninth Prince opened three new gold shops at the front door. On the day of opening, firecrackers were placed from morning to night, making the street full of red paper confetti.

The gold shop that originally operated a donation road has received a notice from the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Revenue and cannot take on business anymore because the Ninth Prince came forward and the Ministry of Internal Affairs was still standing behind.

Although there are powerful families behind the gold shops, including Prince Beller, who dares to fight against the prince? Not to mention, who else can make the Interior Affairs Office come forward except the one on the dragon throne?

In this way, the Ninth Prince's gold shop business started to be prosperous.

Although the Office of the Internal Affairs accounted for 70% of this profit and the Ninth Prince only accounted for 30%, the Ninth Prince was already content. If he had not thought about the Office of the Internal Affairs and he would have rashly intervened, he might not have been able to make 30% of the profit.

Besides, this time he didn't just do it for money, but also wanted to test the bottom line of the emperor's father.

Did the emperor's father abandon his son because he hated the Eighth Prince? Or did the father and son have no overnight revenge and still be able to play a role of a father being kind and filial to his son?

March in the capital is the time when spring is full of willow catkins flying.

Prince Ninth sat in front of the window on the second floor of the Jindian, holding a purple clay teapot from Zhengde in his hand, and delivered it to his mouth, while tasting tea and looking at the street scene.

Opposite him was the Qianmen Main Store of Daoxiang Village and a Yin Building. The ninth prince knew the details of this Yin Building, and knew that it was Yiduli's dowry. Therefore, he also made a special mention to Yiduli, asking the Yin Building to take over the gold business, but Yiduli refused.

The Ninth Prince didn't take it seriously, but unexpectedly, the silver building seemed to be Li Xu's property earlier. Although the Eighth Prince passed away, the Ninth Prince still maintained contact with the Li family. After all, there were a lot of business in Jiangnan, and the local snake in the Li family needed to help take care of it.

In front of Daoxiang Village, Han Jiang's carriage arrived. Han Jiang's carriage was still wearing a blue shirt and a veil, and got off the carriage.

Seeing this, the Ninth Prince narrowed his eyes and thought of what Madam Lin said that Han Jiang's appearance was good, and it was three points better than what was depicted in that portrait.

There is no shortage of this beauty in Jiangnan in the Ninth Prince's Mansion. Some of them are filial to the outside world, and some of them are taken into the mansion by themselves, but they have never spent any effort.

The women in his house were divided into two categories. One was the Eight Banners and the girls who reproduced their children; the other was the beauties who were not related to their origins, including prostitutes, maids, and good families, but were just tools for warming the bed.

The Ninth Prince hesitated for a moment, thinking about whether to call Han Jiang to go upstairs to have tea. He saw a young woman in pink coming out of the silver building next to him, and walked to Han Jiang and said goodbye.

Han Jiang did not seem to be used to talking to people on the street. After bowing back the gift, he went into Daoxiang Village with the woman.

The Ninth Prince put down the purple clay pot, feeling disappointed. He didn't know what he was tired of, and looked at the sparrows on the branches in the distance...

When the Holy Lord returned to Beijing, Cao Yongshao was not allowed to follow the rules and attend the small court meeting every three days.

In addition to the six subjects, who have to deal with the emperor's questions and answers at any time, those who often attend the small dynasty meetings in front of the emperor are also on duty, the Grand Secretary, and the Prince in charge.

In this way, Cao Yong met several princes and princes more than before. The fourth prince was still cold, and the fourteenth prince was more enthusiastic than before. Cao Yong was still abiding by his duties, so that people could not make mistakes.

The second day of the March, the seventeenth prince’s birthday.

Cao Yong gave the birthday gift of the Seventeenth Prince, which was a world map. In fact, he was thinking of giving the Seventeenth Prince globe. Speaking of the globe, there were already globes in the palace, and a few years ago, the palace had supervised several pieces. It was only large enough, more than one meter high.

Before, he asked Zheng Woxue to pay attention to whether there are any books such as globes, maps, and travel notes from foreign goods. By chance, I got this map.

Although this map is not accurate compared to later maps, the description of the Eurasian continental plate is also somewhat prototyped. The above notes are in English, which is not a problem. Because Kangxi was communicating with the Westernization Affairs, several young princes knew some English.

Seeing that the Chinese field was standardized as the "Golden Country", the Seventeenth Prince was a little puzzled and grabbed Cao Yong and asked why.

Cao Yong didn't know the real reason, and guessed: "Maybe it is because our country is rich in ceramics and silk. These two things are transported to the West, and their value is equivalent to gold."

Upon hearing this, the seventeenth prince nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, maybe it's because of this. Western countries are not as good as our Qing Dynasty."

Cao Yong couldn't laugh because in the West, the world map could be used in addition to the country, and the robbers wandering on the sea.

In their eyes, is China now a "golden country" full of temptation?

Spring is not necessarily a landscape everywhere.

For example, in front of you, looking at the stiff corpse on the door post and the dry dark red blood stains on the ground, the doorman was so scared that he took a few steps back and hit Cao Song.
