"Second Master, I have returned home from duty. My wife has sent someone to send a message, asking you to come over."
The young boy Wu Jiang walked in through the curtain, bent his left knee forward, bent his right leg backward, leaned his upper body slightly forward, and drooped his right hand, doing a beautiful Qian.
Yuzhu just pretended that he didn't hear anything, and kept writing at random until he finished writing the last big character, and then he put down his brush.
The eldest maid Hanshuang, with a very discerning eye, had already put the twisted hot handkerchief into Yuzhu's hand.
Yuzhu took the handkerchief, and while wiping his hands, he asked Wu Jiang casually: "Where did the master come from?" This question was quite mysterious.
Wu Jiang knew the seriousness of it, but he didn't dare not to answer, so he lowered his head and said bravely: "Second Master, I am here in official uniform."
Yuzhu narrowed his eyes, thought carefully, and then laughed softly. He was already fourteen years old, and Longkodo still only had Li Si'er in his eyes.
Yes, the famous Longkodo in history was Yuzhu's biological father.
Yuzhu's biological mother, Li Si'er, was originally the concubine of Longkodo's father-in-law. Perhaps because of a brain convulsion, or more likely because of an evil spirit, Longkodo fell in love with Li Si'er.
Relying on the great reputation of "Tong Banchao", Longkodo used various means to snatch Li Si'er into his arms.
However, Longkodo's legitimate wife, Hesheli, really couldn't swallow the bad breath and refused to let Li Si'er into the Tong Mansion.
Today's Tong family, the fledgling Longkodo, is still unable to compare with his father Tong Guowei.
The deadlocked situation resulted in Li Si'er having to live outside the Tong family, becoming a nameless and nameless housewife.
After a while, Li Si'er's biological son Yuzhu naturally became a bastard who made people laugh!
By the way, Yuzhu himself is also a big tragedy. With great difficulty, he climbed from a small technician in a steel factory to the position of vice president at the department and bureau level.
Unexpectedly, he collapsed from exhaustion on the construction site of a key project and became the biological son of the unlucky Longkodo.
Yuzhu happened to have something to see Longkodo, so he led his two servants, Wu Jiang and Wu Sheng, straight towards the main courtyard.
At first, Long Ke was afraid of wronging Li Si'er, so he bought this five-story mansion as a golden house to hide his beauty.
The house where Yuzhu has lived for more than ten years is not only beautifully built, but also covers an extremely large area.
In Sijiu City, where every inch of land is precious, this five-level mansion is worth a lot of money. It can be sold for one hundred thousand taels of silver if it changes hands.
Ordinarily, Yuzhu is already fourteen years old and should have moved to the front yard to avoid suspicion.
However, no matter how strict the rules were, they all became a joke when it came to Li Si'er. Over the years, Li Si'er led his brother and sister Yuzhu to live in the backyard.
"Master, madam, the second master is here." Hongying, the girl who was guarding the door of the main room, saw Yuzhu coming, she quickly put on a bright smile, raised the door curtain, and loudly reported inside.
When she heard that her son had arrived, Li Si'er, who was counting the banknotes, couldn't help but pursed her lips and smiled. She glanced sideways at Longkodo, deliberately raised her voice and said, "Three of us ladies, we have no name or status, so we just rely on each other."
You can live with so little money."
Longkodo knew he was in the wrong and did not dare to argue. He just said with a smile on his face: "My little ancestor, this is not a little bit of silver, but thirty thousand taels."
"Hmph." Li Si'er raised his wrist, twisted Longkodo's left ear with lightning speed, and said bitterly, "Tell me, where did you get the money?"
Longkodo showed a proud smile, walked up to Li Si'er, deliberately lowered his voice, and said: "This morning, the palace issued a decree to appoint me as the commander of the infantry. These silver coins are all for the general soldiers below.
, the lieutenants and generals honor me."
"Commander of the infantry?" Li Si'er was a housewife after all. She couldn't figure out what kind of official this infantry commander was.
"Hey, he is the Admiral of the Nine Gates. He has more than 30,000 soldiers and horses under his command, and he is in charge of all matters in the capital. Now, last time, the little general of the patrol camp who offended your brother, do you still remember?
Hehe, from now on, even if I ask him to go east, even if he has eighty courages, he will never dare to go west." Longkodo couldn't help laughing proudly.
After Li Si'er understood the meaning, her heart was beating wildly with joy. She slammed the table and shouted proudly: "Come here, in a few days, I will post a message to those officials and wives who look down on others, and say that I am
Li Si'er is inviting guests, let them decide whether to come or not."
Hongmei, the eldest girl who is close to her, has always been a smart person who knows the height of her eyebrows. She rolled her eyes and immediately knelt down at Li Si'er's feet and said crisply: "Madam, when the time comes, we will only post ten posts.
, those so-called official wives who have no posts are not allowed to enter."
This flattery was done so exquisitely that it just scratched Li Si'er's itch.
Li Si'er smiled brightly and said happily: "You little hooves, I really didn't hurt you in vain. Here, I'll reward you with this." He pulled out a green and transparent jade hairpin from his head and stuffed it into the red one.
Mei's hands.
"Hehe." Longkoduo knew it was inappropriate, but he loved Li Si'er's arrogant and domineering "spiciness", so he kept his mouth shut and said nothing.
When Yuzhu entered the door, he saw Li Si'er sitting in Longkodo's arms, hooking his hands around his neck, laughing so hard that he looked like a coquettish fox who had become a spirit through cultivation!
"My son, please give my regards to Ama and Enie." Yuzhu just claps his cuffs and before he hits Qian, Longkodo smiles and says, "Yili."
Yili, in the Manchu language, means to get up, to level up, and that's all. Under normal circumstances, only the royal family of Manchuria and hereditary princes are qualified to use the word Yili.
Longkodo's grandfather, Tong Tulai, was actually a Han from Liaodong and served under the Xianghuang Banner of the Han Army.
In the 16th year of Kangxi's reign, because his biological mother, Empress Xiao Kangzhang, was born in the Tong family, Kangxi specially carried the entire Tong family of the Tong Tulai branch into the Manchurian Yellow Banner and gave them the surname Tong Jia.
Among the Eight Banners of Manchuria, the Zhenghuang Banner, Xianghuang Banner, and Zhengbai Banner are the emperor's personal soldiers and are called the "Shanghai Three Banners". Whether it is power, status, or future and money, the "Shanghai Three Banners" are more important than the "Lower Five Banners"
Much higher.
Longkoduo's use of the word Yili was mainly due to Kangxi's special connivance and deliberately trying to elevate his own status.
After all, it was in front of his son. After Li Si'er happily cheered, he sat back down.
Longkodo looked at Yuzhu carefully and said in a mysterious manner: "Today, there is another happy event. There have been rumors that the emperor is tired of the few haha beads around Master Seventeen who always have bad ideas.
, the Chen family intends to re-select someone for the Seventeenth Master. Si'er, you know that when I was a first-class guard, I had a close relationship with the Seventeenth Master's grandfather, Chen Xi'an. Hehe, although Old Chen is a Han
Under the banner of the army, he is a clever ghost who knows how to behave."
Li Si'er blinked his beautiful eyes, obviously not understanding. However, Yu Zhu already understood.
The Seventeenth Master, also known as the Seventeenth Prince Yinli in the palace, has just turned nine this year. The Seventeenth Prince’s biological mother, Mrs. Chen, has been serving the emperor for more than twenty years. Because she is a Han woman, she is still
So far, she is just a concubine who has never been canonized.
The concubine is just a nice word. Her status is extremely embarrassing. At best, it is equivalent to a promise or a permanent presence.
The biological mother of a dignified prince has an appallingly low status. This shows how unpopular the Seventeenth Prince is?
Longkodo wanted Yuzhu to make haha beads for the seventeenth elder brother, so as to wash away the bad reputation of the so-called outsider. He really loved his son.
Yuzhu knew in his heart that the so-called haha beads were just senior servants who accompanied him to study and play. Being a haha bead for the Seventeenth Brother had many advantages, but the disadvantages were also obvious.
If Brother Seventeen makes a mistake, the one who gets beaten and punished must be the Haha Pearl next to him.
"Amma, my son likes to study and wants to be a Manchu scholar. In the future, he will win a proud wife for Enie." Yuzhu didn't say much, but he suddenly poked Li Si'er's tear ducts.
Li Si'er stood up in a hurry, hugged his son tightly, and shouted while crying and laughing, "My son, my heart, my baby..."
When Longko saw this scene, he couldn't help sighing, and he hated his wife Heshel even more.
Li Si'er's biggest hatred was not only that he was born too lowly, but also served two men, Weng and his son-in-law, so he was always ridiculed by others.
The extreme psychological distortion made Li Si'er go crazy. From the moment Yuzhu could speak, Li Si'er taught him to call him "Eniang" instead of "Eniang".
In Manchu, children call the legitimate mother of the main wife Eni. Correspondingly, the concubines are called Eniang.
Longkoduo knew that Li Si'er was messing around, but he turned a blind eye, turning the clear etiquette and rules of concubine into a piece of waste paper.
"Have you thought about it? Among the Eight Banners Jinshi, Manchu Jinshi are extremely valuable. Since the founding of the country, there have only been a few of them." Longkoduo frowned and stared at Yuzhu's face.
As the saying goes, no one knows his son better than his father!
Ever since he was born, Yuzhu has been spoiled by Li Si'er. He eats, drinks and has fun, and is proficient in everything but doesn't know a few big characters.
Four years ago, Yuzhu, who had just turned ten, suddenly suffered from a high fever that would not go away and almost died.
Unexpectedly, after Yuzhu fell seriously ill, he stopped messing around and spent all day in the study practicing calligraphy and studying hard.
Back then, before Longkodo was born, Kangxi was already the emperor. At that time, there were so many Tong family members in the entire court that they were jokingly called "Tong Banchao".
Longkodo's direct aunt, Empress Xiao Kangzhang, was Kangxi's biological mother. His direct sister, Empress Xiao Yiren, was also the adoptive mother of Si Age Yinzhen.
The Tong Jia family has two queens and one noble concubine, and their family status can be said to be extremely popular.
Longkodo grew up in a honeypot since he was a child. He prefers bow and horse, but does not like studying. Therefore, he is a layman on the imperial examination.
However, in his previous life, Yuzhu had been studying for more than 20 years until he graduated with a doctorate.
All children who have graduated with a Ph.D. degree have good study habits and strong self-control!
For more than four years, Yuzhu has been focusing on the art of imperial examinations, writing test papers, and piling up the exams.
Throughout the Kangxi Dynasty, all bannermen who were awarded Jinshi received unusual promotions and important positions.
For example, Nian Gengyao, who served under Xiangbai's banner in the Han army, was awarded Jinshi at the age of 21 and was promoted to governor of Sichuan at the age of 29.
Only if Yuzhu stood out from the imperial examination as soon as possible, became a Jinshi early, and defrauded Kangxi's trust could he possibly gain control of the military.
