Half a month later, the entire Cao family moved back to the capital.
As usual, Yuzhu took Cao Chun and Xiao Tiechui to Tongzhou Pier to greet him.
However, the old emperor knew about this a long time ago and specially sent Wei Zhu to come with him.
On the way, Wei Zhu didn't hide it from Yu Zhu. He was here to take the old lady Sun into the palace.
Yuzhu knew well that when Kangxi suffered from smallpox, he had no relatives around him. Except for the nanny Sun, it was the wet nurse Wen and the others.
Kangxi's nanny Wen Shi was the biological mother of Suzhou weaver Li Xu.
In this sense, Kangxi and Li Xu are brothers, and their relationship with each other is particularly good.
Otherwise, Li Xu would not be the prototype of Wang Ziteng.
Li Xu's uncle and cousin, the concubine Wang, is Lao Shiba's biological mother.
Because Cao Yin's stepmother Li was Li Xu's cousin, so Lao Shiliu and Lao Shiba also came.
However, in the huge and mighty team, Old Fifteen was the only one missing.
Lao Shiba quietly told Yu Zhu that Lao Fifteen was punished to kneel again. Lao Fifteen also deserved his misfortune, as he was always punished to kneel recently.
Yuzhu understood it as soon as he heard it, and Kangxi sent a signal to depose the crown prince.
Among the princes and elder brothers, Lao Fifteen has the closest relationship with Prince Yinfeng.
For one thing, Lao Fifteen is basically the younger brother raised by the Crown Prince himself; secondly, Lao Fifteen's direct descendant Fujin is the Crown Princess's concubine.
However, for the current crown prince, the power of his mother's clan is basically completely gone, and the power of his wife's clan has also declined greatly.
The Crown Princess's Ama, Fuzhou General and third-class uncle Shi Wenbing, has passed away for more than ten years.
Shi Wenbing's Ama and Heshuo had Shi Huashan on their foreheads. As the second-class bodyguards around Shunzhi, their first wife was the third princess of Duduo, Prince of Yu.
This third princess is Shi Wenbing's biological mother.
Shi Wenbing was not only from a very high background, but his first wife was actually the great-granddaughter of Prince Li Daishan.
To put it bluntly, the Shi family has always been married to the royal family.
But, now, it’s all gone!
The Shi family's talents are withering and there is no longer any talent.
What is more subtle is that there is a little bit of kinship between the Crown Princess Guarjia and Yuzhu.
Yuzhu's other aunt, Qingtai's stepmother, Guarjia Qinglin, is actually from the Shi family.
However, Qing Lin's natal family was in decline and was just a distant branch of the Shi family.
After arriving at Tongzhou Guanchuan Pier, Bei Zi Lao Shiba personally led the battle and led everyone to drink tea in the teahouse, waiting for the arrival of the Cao family.
At 10 o'clock, a servant came to report that the Cao family's ship had arrived.
So, Lao Shiba led everyone out of the teahouse and went to the pier.
This time, the Cao family is returning to the north. Hey, there are more than thirty large boats carrying their belongings alone.
Lao Shiba raised his eyes and looked up. Oh my god, these big ships were lined up in a long, dark line on the canal. It was impossible to see the end of them at a glance.
"Brother, you are too low-key." Lao Shiba couldn't say anything clearly, but he told Yuzhu in a roundabout way that this was too public.
What can Yuzhu say?
The Cao family were accustomed to luxury in Jiangnan and liked to put on airs.
It is also very sad to say that Cao Yin is the easiest official in the world to make money, but he can't make up for the huge deficit.
In addition to the corruption of life, in the final analysis, Cao Yin's ability to make money is greatly inferior!
After the Cao family's official ship docked, the old lady Sun, surrounded by a large group of ladies, slowly walked down the gangplank.
Before coming, Kangxi once specifically told Lao Shiba to respect Mrs. Sun.
Therefore, Lao Shiba took the lead in bowing his hands and saluting, and said politely: "This junior, on my father's orders, would like to welcome the old lady."
Sun's honors and favors in this life all came from being Kangxi's nanny.
Kangxi's compliment was just a gesture of kindness to an old servant. No matter how arrogant the Sun family was, how could they dare to accept the courtesy of the old man?
She quickly knelt down, kowtowed heavily and said, "Slave Cao Sun, please be safe, Lord Eighteen."
Whoops, all the Cao family members knelt down, and in the blink of an eye, it almost covered the entire pier.
After the red tape ceremony, Lao Ba invited Sun to get on the bus and took Cao Yin to go to the palace to see Kangxi.
After the prince and the Sun family left, all the people on the pier, except Yuzhu's family, were members of the Cao family.
"My son-in-law pays homage to my mother-in-law." Yuzhu came to pay homage to Cao Yin's stepmother, Mrs. Li.
Because the Cao family has been in Jiangnan for a long time and gradually became Chinese, the name of Yuzhu also followed Chinese customs.
Li Shi is both Cao Yi's biological mother and Cao Chun's aunt.
The etiquette of the Qing Dynasty has always focused on the father's line.
In terms of feudal etiquette, since Mrs. Li is Cao Yin's step-wife, she is Xiao Tiezhui's serious grandmother.
Today is different from the past. Faced with the rising jade pillar, Li did not dare to take advantage of it at all.
Before Yuzhu could kneel down to salute, Mrs. Li ordered someone to hold his arm.
When it was Cao Quan's turn, although he ducked out of the way and did not dare to accept Yu Zhu's full salute, his words were extremely frivolous.
"Good niece and son-in-law, you and I are a family, why do we need to be so polite? Come back, I'll be the host, let's find a good place to play, look at the beauty, and have a good time."
As an elder, it would be quite unseemly to say this in public.
However, Cao Quan is the biological son of Mrs. Sun, so even Li, the mistress of the family, has nothing to say.
Cao Quan was a libertine with no ability. However, he had four sons, so he was extremely prosperous.
I have met the elders, my wives and brothers who are the same generation as Yuzhu.
Cao Quan's eldest son, Cao Shun, gently shook his folding fan, imitating the manner of Jiangnan scribes, bowed his hands and said: "I have met my cousin-in-law."
After Yuzhu returned the gift, he couldn't help but look at Cao Shun one more time.
In fact, Cao Shun is Cao Yin's eldest son, and he is the eldest son. His biological mother, Mrs. Gu, was Cao Yin's first wife!
However, the dirty things done for profit in a big family are really dirty.
After Gu's death, Li Xu's cousin Li married before Cao Yin.
Cao Shun, who was originally the eldest son, was strangely adopted to Cao Quan and became Cao Quan's eldest son.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! This is obviously the Cao and Li families, who deliberately treated Cao Shun as an abandoned son in order to safeguard the fundamental interests of the Li family.
"Cousin-in-law, I would like to take the liberty to ask, Qingwen, how is she doing?" Cao Fugang and Yuzhu saw the ceremony and mentioned Qingwen impatiently.
This is so untutored!
This kid Cao Fu was obviously completely spoiled by Sun Taijun!
Yuzhu suppressed the displeasure in his heart and explained pleasantly: "She is now a talented woman who has read poetry and books."
After Qingwen followed Yuzhu back home, Yuzhu did not treat her badly at all.
In the Long Mansion, Yuzhu not only did not treat Qingwen as a slave, he even invited Mr. Xixi to teach her how to read, read, and manage the family.
There is no way, among the entire Cao family, the one that Yuzhu admires the most is Qingwen, the cleanest one.
This kind of appreciation is purely about personality and has nothing to do with the love between men and women.
"Then she..." Cao Fu was still waiting to ask, but Li Shi couldn't stand it any longer, so she coughed several times, thus cutting off Cao Fu's rude behavior.
According to the etiquette, men and women sit on separate seats at the age of seven!
Except for the Li family, all women in the Cao family are not allowed to meet their foreign men.
The men were greeting each other on one side, and the women were also busy on the other side.
Inside the official ship pier, inside the long curtain, Cao Chun, carrying a small hammer, saluted and said hello to the women of the Cao family one by one.
In the past, when Cao Chun was in the Cao family, he was like a weed, and no one cared about him at all.
However, in a blink of an eye, due to the strong rise of Yuzhu, Cao Chun became the most noble woman in the Cao family.
After the women of the Cao family dealt with Cao Yi hastily, they all squatted down and bowed to Cao Chun very seriously.
"I pay my respects to Mrs. Yongyihou."
Compared with the men of the Cao family who don't know what's important, the women of the Cao family are more aware of current affairs.
They did not dare to address each other as sisters, but respected Cao Chun as Madam Hou.
To be honest, Cao Chun didn't bother to pay attention to these so-called sisters-in-law and younger brothers and sisters.
However, no matter how reluctant Cao Chun was, her surname was still Cao after all.
Once the reputation of being unkind to his mother clan spreads, Cao Chun doesn't care, but is worried that it will affect Little Iron Hammer's future.
So, Cao Chun pinched his nose, held back his nausea, and met the women of the Cao family affectionately.
The women were gathered together, like thousands of ducks, chattering endlessly.
At this time, Cao Chun accidentally discovered that Cao Yi, who should have been very lonely, seemed to be okay and kept looking at the little hammer with a smile.
The dignified and iron-hatted prince of the county, Fujin, suffered a huge setback overnight and turned into a woman of no rank.
Logically speaking, the blow to Cao Yi cannot be small.
Originally, Cao Chun thought that Cao Yi might not dare to show up in Tongzhou because his face was greatly damaged.
However, Cao Yi not only came, but also seemed to be in a good mood.
However, Cao Yi's small movements of stroking his abdomen from time to time made Cao Chun's right eyelid jump wildly, and he always felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.
Cao Chun noticed Cao Yi's abnormal behavior. Why didn't Cao Yi care about Cao Chun?
Alas, what a bad fate!
Cao Yi secretly sighed. She was originally the legitimate daughter of the high-ranking Cao family, the legitimate daughter of the once-prominent Pingjun Prince Fujin. But now, she has become a bastard that everyone in the Cao family despises.
On the other hand, Cao Chun, who was originally like a weed, was surrounded by the women of the Cao family, like a hundred birds paying homage to the phoenix.
All this is because of that bad man Yuzhu!
However, even though he was already in such a state of despair, Cao Yi felt confident in his heart.
With a man's protective temper, as long as Cao Yi is pregnant with a little brother, his future may not be much lower than that of a little iron hammer.
Originally, Yuzhu wanted to send the Cao family back to their old home in person.
However, before everyone set out, a decree came from the palace, and they took the jade pillar and his son's small hammer to see him in Qianqing Palace.
Yuzhu took his son Xiao Tiechui and hurriedly boarded the carriage and left. The Cao family could only leave it to Cao Chun to deal with it.
Things are unpredictable, and there was a storm on the road.
