Yuzhu understood immediately when he heard it, the tough guy Fourth Brother couldn't stand the big rats in the Ministry of Works, and wanted to check the accounts clearly and take down those huge corrupt people.
If it were the Yongzheng Dynasty now, if Yuzhu wanted to live well, he would naturally not dare to refuse.
However, in his later years, Kangxi was not only overjoyed in his achievements, but also overly lenient and allowed the spread of corruption.
To put it bluntly, now that I have helped Lao Si check the accounts, not only can I not kill the corrupt officials, but Lao Si and Yuzhu have become rats crossing the street together, and will be kicked out of the Ministry of Industry by Kangxi sooner or later.
Kangxi was a man of good face, lenient to corrupt officials, and harmonious with others.
The fourth child wants to play hard, ransack homes and kill people, but how can this arm be twisted past his thigh?
Well, the fourth child dared to play hard, that’s because he was Kangxi’s biological son. Everyone was so jealous that they could only stare.
If Yuzhu follows the fourth child into chaos, he will definitely be cannon fodder to fill the hole in the end.
With too many enemies, even if Longkodo is his biological father, it is impossible to protect him every time.
During the Yongzheng Dynasty, Tian Wenjing, who was employed by the fourth son, was indeed a cruel official who wanted to take credit. However, after Tian Wenjing died, he was still liquidated by Qianlong. Isn't it because he offended too many wealthy families?
"To be honest with my cousin, I still want to be a shujishi, get some qualifications in the Hanlin Academy, and see if I have a chance to enter Nanshufang."
Yuzhu knew very well that the fourth child was an extremely sophisticated guy, and if he told lies intentionally, he would definitely be found out.
In that case, if the fourth child ascends the throne, would Longkodo, Li Sier and Yuzhu himself still have a chance to survive?
If a person has no long-term worries, he must have immediate worries!
Yuzhu has a habit of leaving a way out for himself!
Therefore, in front of the fourth child, Yuzhu has always been neither humble nor arrogant. When he says something, he does not add fuel or jealousy, and never shows "cowardice" through bluffing.
"Well, if you are not a Han official, you will not enter the Nan Study Room. Your ambition is not small. If all the important officials in the Nan Study Room do not have the title of bachelor, it will not be regarded as the Kingdom of Truth." The fourth elder brother nodded, agreeing with Yu.
Zhu’s true words.
When people go to higher places, water flows to lower places!
Based on Lao Si’s understanding of Yuzhu, this guy is one of the top talents among the bannermen.
Wen Neng can win Hui Yuan, and Wu Neng can draw a two-stone bow. As for the accuracy, it is hard to say.
What is even more rare, and what Lao Si values the most, is that Yuzhu is a talented official who is particularly good at running errands.
Yuzhu not only knows river engineering, he can also keep accounts and check accounts. I'm afraid he still has a lot of good skills that are not known to people at the time, right?
"What kind of marriage does uncle plan to arrange for you?" Lao Si pretended to be casual and asked Yuzhu casually.
Yuzhu was immediately alert. Last time, Sifujin's biological father, Fei Yanggu, was obsessed with Yuyan, who was still underage, but Long Keduo made excuses and dragged her away without refusing or agreeing. "I like beautiful women. The prettier they are, the more I like them." Yuzhu knew in his heart that the genetic modification project of the families in this era was far from being in place. Even the aunts and grandmothers under the Han Army were mostly ugly.
Yuzhu deliberately placed a very beautiful Lin Yan'er next to him, just to tell everyone that I am a man who cares about appearance, and I don't want anyone who is not as good as Lin Yan'er.
The fourth child originally just casually asked if Yuzhu's marriage was settled, and did not have to be his matchmaker. Because, given Yuzhu's family background, Kangxi must have ordered the marriage.
However, Yuzhu's answer was too naive, and the fourth child didn't know what to say.
Lao Shisan said with a smile: "Just marry a virtuous wife, but taking concubines is only about beauty."
Who said Lao Shisan has no more ideas?
As soon as he said these words, he immediately reminded the fourth child.
Which descendant of a great Manchu noble family married a young lady who was not from a famous noble family?
"I know." The fourth child is not a talker at all. Today's performance was mainly due to Yuzhu's performance, which surprised him so much that he was particularly talkative.
After dinner, the fourth child brought another random account and sent someone to the general ledger of Baylor Mansion, asking Yuzhu to teach the general ledger step by step what the debit and credit accounting method is?
Hey, after all this busy work, Yuzhu lost track of time. By the time he had learned a little about the counting house of the fourth family, it was already dark.
There is no way, if you stay with the fourth son who is a doer, there will always be endless serious things to do, and time just flies by.
When Lao Si led Lao Thirteen and Yuzhu to the Yamen together, Yuzhu suddenly discovered that all the lights were on in the entire Ministry of Works Yamen and all the official halls.
Yuzhu wanted to laugh, but didn't dare.
If your immediate boss, Lao Si, doesn’t go to the office, whoever dares to leave first is because he doesn’t want to be promoted and has a bright future, right?
It was already so late, and Yuzhu already wanted to run away. However, the fourth child seemed to see through his thoughts and spoke first.
"I have ordered your fourth sister-in-law to prepare your favorite hot-pot mutton slices. How about we have a few drinks together?"
Come on, Yuzhu really can’t refuse the invitation sent by the fourth child in person.
Just like that, Yuzhu was dragged by the arm by Lao Shisan, the accomplice, and drove back to Baylor Mansion with Lao Si.
Sibeile Mansion, this is Yuzhu’s first time here.
Fourth's carriage passed the gate with the threshold removed, drove straight into the second gate, and stopped steadily in front of the main courtyard gate.
As soon as Yuzhu's feet landed, he saw a young lady wearing a lavender cheongsam, squatting down and saluting with a smile.
"I am very happy to have a distinguished guest at my door. Is this Yuzhu's cousin?"
How could Yuzhu dare to accept Sifujin's gift? He took a big step and quickly avoided it.
"My little brother Yuzhu, please pay homage to your sister-in-law. May your sister-in-law be blessed."
When Yuzhu bowed his head and saluted, he did not call him Fourth Sister-in-law. This was because, except for the fourth child, none of the other princes called Longkoduo uncle.
Coincidentally, Yuzhu has never met his eldest brother Yue Xing'a and his sister-in-law.
Sifujin, this parallel import sister-in-law, met her first, because the world is so unpredictable!
According to etiquette, if the fourth child is officially recorded in the name of his adoptive mother, Queen Xiao Yiren, on the jade certificate, then he will really be regarded as Yuzhu's serious cousin.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
However, this is not the case.
According to the royal family's jade certificate, the fourth child has always been the prince born of De Fei Wuya. However, he was raised by Yuzhu's direct aunt for eleven years.
In fact, Yuzhu also understood the embarrassing situation of Concubine De at that time.
At that time, Concubine De was just a little maid in the palace of Emperor Tong Jia, and she could not offend her master at all. Therefore, Concubine De had been deliberately hiding from the fourth child, for fear that she would offend her master's taboo and lose her life in vain. However, after Concubine De gave birth to Lao Si, her whole mind became accustomed to it, and she really regarded Lao Si as a polite outsider.
The fourth child is now embarrassed. Concubine De does not care about him. Queen Xiao Yiren, who loved him, has passed away. Her uncle Bo Qi only loves the fourth child.
This is also the root cause of the tragedy of mother-son fratricide between the concubine De and the fourth child.
Fourth child, that is really cruel. When he becomes cruel, he would even dare to trick his own mother!
After the greetings, Yuzhu and Lao Shisan sat in the West Flower Hall at the greeting of Lao Si.
To the surprise of Lao Shisan, Lao Si actually called Si Fujin and personally held the pot to pour wine for Yuzhu.
If Yuzhu hadn't already known that Lao Si was good at pouring ecstasy soup, I'm afraid he would have been fooled on the spot.
"Sister-in-law, how dare you do this?" Yuzhu stood up in a hurry, covered the wine cup with his hand, and hid it behind his back, barely avoiding Si Fujin's pouring the wine himself.
"I said, you are really a moji. My sister-in-law is just pouring a glass of wine for my brother. Why is this?" The fourth child lowered his face unhappily, and looked at Yuzhu and scolded him.
Yuzhu also knows that the fourth child is never afraid of hard food and only eats soft food.
There was no other way, Yuzhu was forced into a corner, so he had to stretch out his wine glass and let Si Fujin fill it up.
The Fujins of Manchuria have much greater freedom of movement than the daughters-in-law of the Hanchen family.
Si Fujin sat on the left side of the fourth child and poured himself a glass of wine. Then, everyone drank at the invitation of the fourth child.
"Your cousin said that you like to eat very thin slices of mutton. I told the cook in advance to cut the mutton slices as thin as possible." What Si Fujin said was commonplace, but it was extraordinarily warm.
Human heart.
Hey, if you’re not from the same place, you won’t enter the same house!
There are only four people at one table.
The fourth child is in the middle, facing the door of the flower hall. The fourth child is on the left, the thirteenth child is on the right hand side of the fourth child, and the jade pillar is next to the thirteenth child.
Fujin, the direct descendant of the Manchurian royal family, is in the back house of Baylor Mansion. That is really true to his word!
It is precisely because of this that starting from Huang Taiji, he deliberately wanted to divide the power of the direct Fujin, and there was a side Fujin who was second only to the direct Fujin.
According to the regulations, Xiang Fujin is also a serious daughter-in-law of the royal family who is required to submit a jade certificate, and is qualified to officially attend all grand events held in the palace such as the Gold Awarding Festival, the Longevity Festival, and the Spring Festival.
If the direct descendant Fujin travels far away, Xiu Fujin is the natural choice to take charge of the housework.
In some time-travel novels, Fujin is described as a trembling concubine, which is simply ridiculous.
The fourth child also knows that Yuzhu is so powerful that even the thirteenth child is no match for him.
Therefore, the wine that was served was divided into two types, one was Huadiao Zhuangyuanhong, which was reserved for nobles, and the other was shochu, which was drunk by poor people.
Lao Shisan had long wanted to have a wine contest with Yuzhu, so he directly ordered the maid holding the wine jar.
"How can one jar be enough? Another ten jars are just for rinsing the mouth."
Lao Si and Si Fujin have long been accustomed to Lao Shisan’s wild behavior and are no longer surprised.
After all, Yuzhu is here as a guest. With Si Fujin present, it is really not convenient for him to lose his manners and drink together.
Unexpectedly, Si Fujin actually said: "You just drink hard, isn't it just soju? There will be as many jars as you want."
Hi, what a magnificent Sifujin!
No wonder, after the death of Si Fujin, who became the queen, Lao Si was extremely sad and wrote several nostalgic poems to mourn his first wife.
Lao Shisan was originally going to have a drinking contest, but after hearing what Si Fujin said, he felt a little embarrassed and said: "Let's drink slowly, take our time, don't be in a hurry."
From this, Yuzhu could see that the Thirteenth was not afraid of the Fourth, but he was a little shy of the Fourth.
Speaking of which, Lao San is also very pitiful. After his biological mother, Concubine Min, passed away, his biological father ignored him and treated him like a wild child. He was almost bullied to death by Lao San.
If the fourth child hadn't always protected the thirteenth child, God knows how much injustice the thirteenth child would have suffered?
With Si Fujin present, Lao Shisan's drinking behavior became more refined.
(PS: In this paragraph, there are interesting little facts and very insightful information. Yuzhu’s hair is almost falling out, it’s time to reward him with some monthly tickets!)
