Visiting relatives
Chapter 1032 Visiting relatives (asking for a guaranteed monthly ticket)
Seeing Sun Wencheng like this, Cao Yong comforted: "The second cousin is only in his thirties, and it is time to use it. He is so stable and sensible, so cousin can feel at ease."
Sun Wencheng smiled wryly, and talked to Cao Yong about the late emperor's funeral: "I wanted to kowtow on both sides of the royal road and kneel to send off the late emperor, but I was afraid that it would fall into the eyes of others and say I was pretentious, so I just stood in the yard and faced the emperor. The city kowtowed a few heads."
When Cao Yong heard this, he briefly mentioned when Zigong arrived at Jingling, how mournful the emperor was, and how solemn the scene was.
Sun Wencheng listened solemnly, and said with shame on his face: "It's all because of my incompetence. I lost my position and failed the kindness of the late emperor."
Although Hangzhou Zhizao is an official of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and only a fifth rank, but since Cao Yin went to the north and Li Xu fell out of favor, he has been in charge of respecting the secret books in the south of the Yangtze River.
Between the monarch and his ministers, it can be regarded as a match.
In weaving this lucrative yamen, I have been the chief official for more than [-] years, and the tent is only a few thousand taels of silver.
There is a farm in the capital, and two in Hangzhou, one is a gift from the imperial court, and the other was added in recent years.Although there is no one who does not take a penny, it cannot be regarded as a "clear" word, but such a conduct, even Cao Yong must admire it.
In the officialdom, it is even more difficult to gain a foothold without being greedy, especially in the Jiangnan officialdom, how many people have been turned away.Sun Wencheng is a man with his tail between his legs. He has been in business for more than [-] years and has always been consistent.
Cao Yong took out the land deed from his sleeve, pushed it in front of Sun Wencheng, and said: "If my cousin gives my nephew some dignity, I will accept this. This is a little filial piety from my nephew..." While speaking, he asked someone to hold the silver Come over: "There is still some silver, which was given to my second cousin. I was supposed to prepare a bank note, but I was afraid that my uncle would be suspected, so I sent the silver directly. Please don't think uncle and second cousin are vulgar. "
The Sun family had only been dismissed from office a few months ago due to a deficit. If they were seen going to the Qianzhuang Bank to exchange money, they would not be suspected of having hidden wealth.
Seeing Cao Yong like this, Sun Wencheng changed his face, quickly waved his hands, and said: "I can't bear it, I can't bear it, it's not enough. My nephew is kind, I appreciate it, and I still take it back!"
I heard Cao Yong go on to say: "Cousin, after the township test, the Ministry of Internal Affairs will recruit for the test. I heard that my second cousin is very knowledgeable. I can't go wrong if I think about it. A few days ago, the sixteenth master asked... If you get the job, There are many places to socialize with colleagues and bosses, and it is better to have some money in hand. I have rarely met my second cousin, and I don’t know what to give to my cousin, so I can only give money directly. If my cousin If you dislike your nephew, your nephew will be annoyed."
Sun Wencheng blushed, looked at Cao Yong speechless, not angry, but did not expect Cao Yong to be like this.
Speaking of which, the Sun family was alienated from the Cao family first.As early as when Cao Yin was alive, the Sun family and the Cao family were not close.
Just like Cao Yin felt that Li Xu was ostentatious and easy to cause trouble, in Sun Wencheng's eyes, the fire of the Cao family was burning, and it was frightening to watch.
He has always been a timid person, so he didn't care about others saying that he was "ungrateful" and alienated his relationship with the Cao family.When Cao Yin died of illness and Cao Yong was in charge, the relationship between the two families became even weaker.
In his opinion, it is good that the Cao family can protect the Sun Li brothers and sisters, after all, they are the nephews of the Cao family.With relatives outside the Cao family, the grandson's official career and granddaughter's marriage are more advantageous.
This is also an unscrupulous selfishness, not only wanting to take advantage of the light, but also wanting not to be implicated and cause trouble.
The Li family participated in the seizure of the heir apparent, which violated the taboo of the royal family. Seeing Cao Yong standing by, he felt desolate, but he could understand it.Because it was him, he would make the same choice as Cao Yong.
For this reason, he never even thought about it, Cao Yong would take the initiative to help himself.Brother Sixteen is the proud son of heaven, if Cao Yong hadn't spoken out, how would he have thought of the concubine of the Sun family?
Seeing that Sun Wencheng didn't speak, Cao Yong took it as his acquiescence, and said, "Cousin, if it's cheap, my nephew wants to see my eldest sister."
Only then did Sun Wencheng wake up from the astonishment, looked at the wooden box containing the silver, still shook his head, and said: "Nephew, there is really no need to do this. If life is difficult, I will talk to my nephew..."
Cao Yong was firm in his attitude, and said: "Cousin, I have said that it is for the second cousin. Cousin is so born, how can I let my nephew get close to the second cousin in the future?"
When Sun Wencheng heard this, his heart moved, he got up and bowed and said, "If so, I will be ashamed!"
Cao Yong got up to avoid it, and said: "Biao Shu doesn't need to be a layman."
Sun Wencheng saw him like this, so he didn't say any more, and just called a young man to invite the eldest grandma Cao Ying to come over.
The two talked a few more homely things, and after a while, they saw Cao Ying bringing two maidservants over. First, they greeted Sun Wencheng, and then met Cao Yong.
Cao Ying was wearing a half-new cheongsam in a rainy and sunny color, her hair was combed smoothly, and there were two velvet flowers on her hairpin.Except for a pair of jade earrings on her ears, there is no jewelry on her body.
Looking at the two maids behind her, they are also dressed in old clothes, not as decent as the house maids.
Sun Wencheng looked at the outfits of their master and servant, he let out a long breath, and said to Cao Ying: "It's rare for your brother to come here, so you can talk with me." After finishing speaking, he said to Cao Yong: "Nephew, sit down , I will have tea with my nephew later."
Cao Yong got up and said, "Cousin, let's go for a rest. My nephew will return after a few words with my sister. I don't need my cousin to turn back."
Sun Wencheng was very upset at the moment, nodded and said: "If that's the case, I won't send my nephew off, and I will ask your cousin to send you off later."
Cao Yong agreed and watched Sun Wencheng leave.
Cao Ying was a little afraid of this cousin.Seeing that he was very familiar with his father-in-law, she was surprised in her heart.
Cao Yong looked at her carefully, his face was thinner than ten months ago, and his eyes were black and blue.Thinking of the "fushou ointment" that Chu Yu mentioned, he couldn't help frowning.
Seeing his cold eyes, Cao Ying couldn't help saying in embarrassment: "Brother Yong, why do you have time to come here? Going to and from the imperial mausoleum is exhausting even if you think about it, so I should rest for a few more days."
Cao Yong glanced at the two maids, and said to Cao Ying: "My brother has a few words, and I want to talk to my elder sister alone."
When Cao Ying heard the words, she felt apprehensive, and while sending the maids down, she guessed what Cao Yong was going to say.
Could it be because of ginseng, she ran to Cao's mansion four times in ten days' time, not because she was thick-skinned, but because she went out, went to the Duke's mansion twice, and handed over her private house silver.
There were only two sisters and younger brothers left in the hall, Cao Yong said: "Eldest sister, I heard that you have taken 'fushou ointment' recently?"
Hearing what Cao Yong mentioned was this, Cao Ying breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "I just watched your brother-in-law suck it, and then tasted it twice, but it was a good thing, and it boosted my spirit. I also recommended it to my younger siblings. Brother Yong is an errand. If you are tired, take a few sips, it is better than dry tobacco to relieve fatigue. Nowadays, many people who eat cigarettes in the capital change to this."
When Cao Yong heard about the spread of opium, he was horrified: "Brother-in-law bought it from a drugstore?"
Although opium has existed for a long time, according to his understanding, it was only limited to pharmacies in the past.
In the eyes of the world, if you believe in an old saying, "a medicine is three-point poison", why would you buy this daily drug from a pharmacy?
Cao Ying smiled and said, "Not really, because I thought it was a good thing and wanted to recommend it to my mother and siblings, so I asked a few more questions and said that I bought it from 'Zhenyifang'."
Cao Yong heard the words, changed his face.
"Zhenyifang" is a shop under the name of Brother Jiu, and most of the items it sells are prepared for officialdom or folk exchanges, ranging from antique calligraphy and paintings, to inner-made porcelain, to Western objects, all kinds.
The Cao family's "Daoxiang Village" business model touched Brother Jiu, so when he opened "Zhenyifang" a few years ago, he also adopted the method of opening branches in inner and outer cities. A total of nine shops were opened, five in the inner city. , three in the outer city, and one in Tongzhou.
Perhaps the ninth elder brother was just trying to make money, but Yongzheng knew the dangers of opium.A few years ago in the inner city, there was a small-scale investigation of opium sales.
Brother Nine has a doorman who works at the customs office, and he wants to buy opium without breaking a sweat.Nine shops were sold at the same time, and I don't know how many people will die because of this.
"This is poison, how can it be contaminated!" Seeing that Cao Ying was still laughing, Cao Yong frowned and said, "How long has it been for the eldest brother-in-law, where is the eldest sister?"
Seeing that he was unhappy, Cao Ying suppressed the smile on her face, and whispered: "He smoked it when he was in Xuzhou, but it's not easy to buy it there, and it's cheaper to buy it in the capital."
"I am addicted to this thing, I am tired of eating and drinking, and I don't sleep well. I started to smoke it for a few days, and then I smoked it several times a day. It only made my blood dry up and my family went bankrupt. Why doesn't the eldest sister think about two children? Could it be that I really have to wait until my nephew and niece The day you lost your father and mother?" Cao Yong said.
After hearing this, Cao Ying felt as if struck by lightning, her complexion turned snow-white, and she said with trembling lips, "Brother Yong...that's really true..."
Cao Yong sighed, and said: "I don't know if I'm addicted to it or not? Why did my second aunt's tobacco shop close a few years ago? It's because some managers didn't check and bought opium. This thing is a disaster for the country and the people, and the court will not tolerate it. "
The blood faded from Cao Ying's face, her eyes were already red, and she murmured, "I didn't know that would happen."
Cao Yong said: "If you can quit smoking after a short period of time, you will suffer some crimes. Those who are addicted to smoking, their minds are controlled by smoking addiction, their families are ruined, and their children and daughters are not one or two. The eldest sister is still early. Make a good plan."
Cao Ying couldn't sit still anymore, she stood up and said with a crying voice, "What should I do, please teach me, brother Yong."
Cao Yong stood up, took out an origami paper from his sleeve, and handed it to Cao Ying. On it was the method of sixteenth elder brother's early detoxification, as well as a soup prescription that could slightly suppress drug addiction.
Cao Ying looked at it with her hands in her hands, Fang breathed a sigh of relief, and said gratefully: "Thank you brother Yong, I was confused, and I will never dare to touch this again."
Cao Yong nodded, hesitated for a while, and said: "Sister, whether it is a nephew or a niece, the last thing they can rely on is the Sun family. The Sun family is decent, and they are decent."
Cao Ying was confused and raised her head, not knowing why her cousin mentioned this.
"Father should not be used, and the grandfather is still there to take care of their brothers and sisters. If the Sun family is down, no matter how much money the eldest sister holds in her private house, the future of the nephew and niece will be difficult. Even though I am an uncle, it is not easy to surpass their grandfather To arrange the future of nephews." Cao Yong looked at her.
Cao Ying's selfishness was uncovered, and she felt her face was on fire, and no one could speak in embarrassment.
These words, Cao Yi persuaded her a few days ago, she just felt that it was not pleasant to her ears, and she didn't want to be a fool again, leaving her hands empty-handed, but she didn't expect her cousin to say the same thing today...
