Chapter 849: Birthday celebration (Part 2)

When did your cousin offend someone?

When Cao Feng saw Li Nai's strange look, this was the first thought that came out of his heart. Then, he shook his head gently, for this reason.

My cousin has been mourning for more than a year and rarely goes out. He has not had much social interaction with the Li family.

He remembered the situation where the eunuch came to pass the order to give things, and he could not say that the resentment of the Li family came.

Cao Xiang sat on Cao Feng's left head. Seeing that his younger brother was wrong, he asked in a low voice: "Is the fifth brother drunk?"

The sound was not loud, but everyone on the table heard it.

Except for Cao Yong, the others were all made of lotus white inside, which looked clear, the wine smelled soft, but the stamina was sufficient.

Cao Yong raised his head and just heard Cao Xiang talking. He looked at Cao Feng and said, "Eat two less cups, and you may feel uncomfortable."

Just as the servant brought the longevity noodles, Cao Fu listened to everyone's advice, put down the wine cup with a smile, and took a bowl of longevity noodles to eat.

Wherever his eyes swept, Li Nai's expression had returned to nature, and he exchanged cups with Seshtu, looking honest.

Cao Wu snorted coldly, and he was already more prepared.

Not to mention the adults in the front yard, each of them was intestinal, and the outer hall of the Lanyuan also had a table and the boys sat down.

Speaking of Sun Li, the oldest person, the most noble person is Fu Xiu, the fourth prince of the Prince of Pingjun, so these two were in the upper position; then Li Cheng was a relative, and Tianyou accompanied him in the second position; left, Zuo Cheng was the second position, Hang Seng was the youngest, and the prime minister was with him.

Like Cao Yi's son Shou Ge, everyone's uncle and uncle Changsheng, they all sat with the women because they were less than seven years old.

Li Cheng usually claims to be smart and a little arrogant in his bones. He looks down on the cousins ​​of the Cao family generation. However, when he sees Sun Li and Fuxiu, he can't help but be impressed.

Fu showed off everyone's demeanor and natural elegance. When he saw it, he made people admire him; Sun Li was calm and restrained, and did not speak much, but he could not be underestimated.

Tianyou just laughed, watching everyone laugh, and sometimes ordered the maid to serve soup and tea, which was quite masturbating.

When Li Cheng saw Tianyou's appearance, he felt dissatisfied and felt extremely awkward. Cao Yong had only this biological son, and he was born in the legitimate state. Tianyou didn't need to make progress at all. As long as he grew up safely, he would fall on Tianyou's head in the future.

Li Cheng wanted to get close to Fuxiu, so he flattered Fuxiu and spoke, but Fuxiu did not take him seriously. He occasionally followed up with a sentence, which was also alienated and polite.

The table was filled with Fu Xiu's cousins, his own flesh and blood; only Li Cheng was a distant relative, so of course he was too lazy to deal with it.

A few small ones, but haven't noticed that there is anything wrong with the atmosphere.

But Tianyou, after hearing Li Cheng's constant speech, looked at the food in front of him, lost his appetite, and kept muttering the three words "don't speak" in his heart. He thought to himself, what's wrong with this cousin of the Li family? He looks like a polite person, why is he so out of control?

Sun Li is the oldest and seems to see Li Cheng’s intention, but he is to look at the nose and the nose, and there is nothing to do.

Li Cheng was bored and felt frustrated. If he had known this, he would have asked his father to go to Prince Yong's mansion to celebrate his birthday. He spent nearly 5,000 taels of silver to prepare a birthday gift. Even if the Fourth Prince was the prince, he would have been attracted by it.

However, given the lack of father as an alternate prefect, even if he goes to the royal palace to pay his birthday, he will not be allowed to go to the table.

For a moment, Li Cheng complained about his grandfather, who was greedy for small profits in Jiangnan and stayed away from the capital for many years. Could it be that all his grandfathers and grandchildren are in Jiangnan?

If the emperor and the minister are the emperor, if the grandfather suppresses the wrong treasure, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Inside Andingmen, Prince Yong’s Mansion.

Today is the 42nd birthday of the Fourth Prince. Because it is not a birthday, I didn’t do anything. However, there are many relatives and relatives who come to have a birthday party and have many people.

The fourth prince changed into a sapphire blue robe, with a belt from the imperial gift around his waist, and spoke with several princes Beile who came to drink. His expression was much softer, without the coldness of normality.

It seems that I am in a very good mood.

Although the Fifth Prince and the Seventh Prince have a normal relationship with the Fourth Prince, they have no grudges and are very harmonious.

In the past, I had to grasp my identity in everything and compete for the top third prince. After returning from Rehe this year, I also changed my temperament and acted like a good brother.

He returned to Beijing with the Saint, and in just half a month he had a gossip, saying that the third prince was willing to imitate Prince Yuxian.

Prince Yuxian Fuquan, the second son of Shizu, and half-brother of Kangxi. During his lifetime, Shizu Shunzhi had taken the exam for his son's ambitions, and Fuquan answered that "I am willing to be a wise king."

Whether it is true or false, because of these four words, even if Kangxi ascended the throne, he would have to accept his brother's "recedes" for decades until Fuquan died of illness. The emperor and the king had a deep affection, and there was no suspicion or frame-up of brothers in the past dynasties.

The third prince's posture made many people confused.

Some speculate that he was false and pretended to behave; some speculate that he knew the practice and knew that the fourteenth prince was irresistible and was second to the next.

Only the fourth prince sneered at this matter.

Position is one thing, but original intention is another. As a prince, he grew up in the deep palace and only in his forties did he know that he wanted to "speak and do something". This emperor brother is indeed stupid enough.

Thinking of this in my heart, the fourth prince was friendly and respectful to his brothers. Even if the brothers were not very close, they were happy to watch.

This scene hurt the Ninth Prince's eyes.

Since I got the news, I knew that the Li family gave me a generous gift to me, and the Ninth Prince was very uncomfortable.

Thinking about the past few years, because the third prince has lost his spirit and the fourth prince’s weight in the court has become heavier and he has become more and more wary.

However, the Fourth Prince was just focused on being a job, not taking part in the disciples, and rarely made friends with ministers. Even if the Ninth Prince wanted to catch his braid, it would be difficult.

The Li family, since the eighth prince's life, has been the ninth prince's money bag in Jiangnan.

Not to mention the prince, he is even a puppy from ordinary people, and he can pee and occupy land without giving up any inch of land.

Whether it is the fourth prince's popularity that has made the Li family cursed; or the fourth prince's secret conversation with Li Xu, who is also the minister of the Ministry of Revenue, is not something that the ninth prince can tolerate.

"The emperor brothers have arrived, and the fourth brother is so decent. Now, in the eyes of the emperor, we are not as capable as the fourth brother. It seems that everyone knows this principle and they all come together, for fear of offending the fourth brother." The ninth prince looked smiling on his face, but everyone was so cold that they heard this.

He is as honest as the twelfth prince, and he really mutters in his heart. Could it be that the emperor and father are the fourth brother who have always been capable?

If you talk about your son's honor, the adoptive mother of the Fourth Prince and the biological mother can be named in the harem of the Emperor's father.

Those who are as open-minded as the fifth prince and the seventh prince are all frowning secretly. They don’t know where the Ninth prince is furious and want to give the Fourth prince shamelessness. The Seventh prince has nothing to do with him, just watch the fun; the Fifth prince is already staring at the Ninth prince and is about to scold him.

The fourth prince looked faint, looked at the ninth prince, and said, "Who doesn't know that there is nothing next to my mansion, but Suzhai is one of the most numerous in the capital. They are all their own brothers, so they can offend them. They just borrow a reason to gather together, and they always have to eat and drink well, so that they can be considered happy."

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little stiff, the older princes agreed with the fourth prince.

This one said, "Yes, yes, the vegetarian food in the Fourth Brother Mansion is the best." The one said, "That's right, there can be less other things, but the money arhat belly cannot be missing, but I have been thinking about it for some days."

The Ninth Prince was not grateful, snorted coldly, stood up, looked around, and said, "Oh? Look at the brothers who have changed their temperaments. It's time to eat carrots and cabbage. My younger brother is a man who doesn't like meat. I won't eat this birthday mat today..."

Halfway through his words, someone laughed and said, "Brothers are here? Oh, we are late, don't blame me, brothers."

Everyone looked at the door and saw the fifteenth prince and the sixteenth prince, who arrived with a string of young princes in the palace. Even the four-year-old twenty-fourth prince was no exception. He was held in his arms by the seventeenth prince and looked at everyone with a smile.

The brothers were greeted by the greetings and had a long fun again.

After the couple finished meeting, everyone sat down again. The Fourth Concubine also received the news and sent someone to pick up the twenty-third prince and the twenty-four prince into the inner house. These two princes, one was seven years old and the other four years old, and were still young.

The evil fire that Ninth Prince had not been released before.

It is rare that so many little brothers are out of the palace and Songsong is angry. He, as a brother, is unwilling to pretend to be a villain and make everyone uncomfortable.

The fourth prince's expression became softer and he looked rare with a smile on his face. He sighed in his heart when he heard his brothers talking.

There is still one person missing when there is prosperity.

The only one missing is the Thirteenth Prince.

It’s not that the Thirteenth Prince stayed behind closed doors, but that it was early winter this year, and several snowfalls in October caused the Thirteenth Prince to suffer from a chronic illness and is now in bed and recuperating.

The Fourth Prince just went to see it yesterday. The Thirteenth Prince only said that it was okay, but his eyes were sunken and his face was dark. After asking the Thirteenth Prince in private, he realized that the Thirteenth Prince had been sleeping poorly in the past half month due to rheumatism and pain...

Cao's mansion is a family dinner, so naturally it is not as good as the Fourth Prince's side. After dinner, everyone went back.

However, Cao Fu did not return to the East Mansion with his mother and brother-in-law, but stayed in the West Mansion. His cousin talked about Li Nai's strangeness.

"Resentment? Because of the reward from Concubine Wang?" Cao Yong was a little surprised when he heard this.

Cao Fu thought he didn't believe it, so he hurriedly said, "Brother, you must not have the intention to harm others, and you must be guarded against others. Just say, Sun Jue, if he had not been plotted against others, he would not have been ruined and would have given his elder sister freedom. Perhaps in the eyes of the Li family, our Cao family is the same as them, and they are all slaves of the emperor, and they were not distinguished from each other earlier. In just over ten years, our family has gained a foothold in Beijing, and they are still foreign ministers. This time, Li Nai was not satisfied with his shortcomings, and it was unusual to be angry in his heart."

Cao Yong listened to his younger brother's words and smiled bitterly: "Xiao Wu said it right, but Li Nai is not a scheming person and is quite loyal. This last sentence is the reason for his resentment."

"Fill in the gap?" Cao Fu raised his eyebrows and said, "This Li Nai is so unreasonable. The eldest brother is not the official of the Ministry of Personnel, so he has the final say, so why do you blame the eldest brother? I heard that in the past six months, he has spent a lot of money on the gap. If he really thought about the eldest brother, why didn't he come to him to say it? Could it be that he would let Ding You, the eldest brother at home, take the initiative to arrange for him?"

"This is the heart of the human heart. I am afraid that he will feel that I should intervene because of the relationship between relatives. For example, when Sun Jue was involved in the previous incident, he blamed Sun Jue for being inappropriate, and seventy-one for blame for being by the sidelines." Cao Yong said.

When Cao Feng heard this, he couldn't help but shake his head and said, "Is this the reason for the Li family? Who owes whoever owes who? He lives with others for them. It's really creepy to think about having such a relative."

This is related to Li family. Cao Yong didn't want to say too much, so he patted Cao Fu's shoulder and said, "They are going to leave the capital. Even if they don't like it, they can't see each other twice. Xiao Wu's reminder is in mind."

Cao Feng saw Cao Yong cares about it, sighed, and said, "I know that the eldest brother is afraid that his uncle will make things difficult for him. After all, it is the eldest brother's uncle's family. This relationship is not something that can be cut off. Otherwise, if we have reason, we will become ignorant if we have reason."

Nowadays, the housework in the East Mansion is in Jinghui's hands, while Cao Fu is taking care of it outside.

Although Cao Xiang was older, he was a concubine's son and wanted to avoid him, so he gave the housework to his younger brother in the name of being a job.

Cao Yong remembered that Cao Yong's three posts from his relatives had already given away. His post was intended to let his cousin go, so he said to Cao: "In the auction in a few days, antique calligraphy and paintings are useless. If you win it, you will just give me favors. A large house and a large village, there are many people who can grab it. If the price is not paid, it will be useless to grab it. There are still some days when you go out and ask for the price of the second and third houses. Good intentions are clear. A house with three or ten or twenty acres, and you will see the place good. If you can get it, just take a look. If you can get it, just take a look. If you can get it, just take a bargain. If you can't get it, compare the price and buy it in the future.

According to the common rules among the people, if there are a few brothers like the East Mansion, they will split up their families after marriage, or wait until their father dies.

Now both Dongfu is occupied, but because Cao Song goes to war, his elder brother is not here, no one mentions this matter.

Cao Fu and Cao Xiang are very old, and they are just as good as their brothers' relationship. They are like this gangster, and they are not far or near.

In the past, Aunt Baodie had a hard time living; now, Chunhua, the fourth wife, was unable to see her mother-in-law, and she was able to live a life with her husband.

Although no one complained, Cao Fu couldn't see it and mentioned excessive family matters with Cao Yong.

Even though he knew that his cousin and his wife had suffered grievances, Cao Yong could not decide to split up the family for the East Mansion. Even if he really wanted to split up, he would have to wait for Cao Song to come back.

Cao Yong means that Cao Feng can use the money from the East Mansion to buy some real estate and real estate first. Otherwise, with Zhaojia's personality, the money will be in her hands, and even if the family is separated, there will be no share of the concubine.
