On Yuzhu's side, Chang De and An Lin, father and son, took turns trying to win him over. Only when Yuzhu was drunk could he tell more truths.
As a result, the more Yuzhu drank, the redder his face became, and the more he drank, the more he sweated. However, his eyes became brighter and brighter, and there was no sign of being drunk at all.
After all, this was the first time he visited his father-in-law. Yuzhu was taking it easy and did not dare to drink Changde's wine.
However, in response to An Lin's active provocation, Yuzhu occasionally showed his prowess and knocked him under the table three times.
After An Lin fell, Changde didn't dare to persuade him to drink anymore. He also saw that Yuzhu was truly massive.
After coming out of Fucha's house, Hanshuang came close to Yuzhu's ear and whispered: "Master, this slave is useless. I have never seen our young mistress."
Well, Yuzhu understood as soon as he heard it. His wife Fucha just wanted to hint at something, but she didn't want to lose her own identity.
After all, the Fucha family is the aunt of a great noble family in Manchuria with a yellow flag, and her biological grandfather is a genuine Heilongjiang general. It is impossible for her to do anything that would be disrespectful to her noble status.
After several exchanges without meeting each other, the image of the Fucha family in Yuzhu's mind has a general outline: stunning beauty, extremely intelligent, and quite self-respecting.
A real wife is not a concubine, self-respect and self-love are a must.
Today, I discussed a lot of things with the Fucha family.
For Changde's 40th birthday, relatives of the Fucha clan will definitely come. However, even if Fucha Maqi, a cabinet scholar, invited him through a post, he would probably be too polite.
Yuzhu's impression of Ma Qi mainly includes three points: the smooth old bureaucrat, the staunch Ba Ye Party member and the secret traitor.
After Kangxi deposed the crown prince, he immediately regretted it and wanted Li Guangdi to give the ministers outside a chance to listen to the emperor's call and jointly recommend Yin Reng as the crown prince.
As a result, the cunning Li Guangdi did not reveal the news, and all the important officials in the dynasty did not know Kangxi's true thoughts.
However, Kangxi publicly issued an order in advance not to allow Ma Qi to participate in the selection of the new prince.
However, Ma Qi did not listen to Kangxi's stern warning, and still secretly contacted the important ministers, and unanimously recommended Lao Ba to be the crown prince.
In order to support Lao Ba, Ma Qi worked hard enough.
In addition to the fifth elder brother, according to Yuzhu's understanding, Changde also wanted to invite Tong Guowei to attend. However, he was too embarrassed to say so.
Since Tong Guowei was invited, Yuzhu had no choice but to go to Longkodo.
However, after Longkoduo went back to Lao Tong's house to meet Tong Guowei, Tong Guowei said that he would only go to the banquet if Yuzhu came to invite him in person.
Okay, the old man is angry.
After little Hesheli was driven into the family temple, Yuzhu never came to the door of old Tong's family, which aroused Tong Guowei's great dissatisfaction.
Yuzhu knew very well that the old man wanted him to take over the mess of the old Tong family.
However, Yuzhu doesn’t want to take on the hot potato.
There are too many messy things going on in Lao Tong's family.
If Yuzhu takes over, he won't be able to do anything serious for the whole day, and he will be left wiping the butts of his uncles and brothers.
But the problem is that Yuzhu's surname is Tong Jia after all, and the first-class dukedom of Longkodo will also be his in the future.
In other words, even if you don’t want to take on those bad things in Lao Tong’s family, you still have to deal with them in the end.
In this era with strong clan concepts, if Yuzhu cannot protect the Tong family, it will be tantamount to exposing his weakness to political opponents.
The logic is very simple. A certain cousin made a mistake and Yuzhu couldn't protect him. Has the Holy Favor declined?
The important thing about a big family is that if one person attains enlightenment, the chickens and dogs will rise to heaven. If one person suffers, both will be harmed, and if one person is prosperous, both will be prosperous.
The father's family, the mother's family, and the wife's family are all responsibilities that Yuzhu cannot escape.
Longkodo is his biological father, so it is impossible for him to ruin Yuzhu's affairs, but Tong Guowei is different.
Tong Guowei loves the old Tong family, but he admits it to Yuzhu because of the situation. He and Yuzhu don't have much relationship between ancestors and grandchildren.
Yuzhu thought about it carefully, and then ordered Hu Biao to go back to Lao Tong's house, visit Tong Guowei, and make an appointment to meet.
Unexpectedly, after Hu Biao came back, he reported that the old man was angry. How could he go back to his ancestral home, see his grandfather, and make an appointment?
Yuzhu smiled slightly, and Tong Guowei's anger was naturally expected.
It would be weird not to get angry.
So, Yuzhu changed his clothes, took Hu Biao and Wu Jiang, and took a carriage to Lao Tong's house in Tongfu Hutong.
When they arrived at the place, after Yuzhu got off the car, before he could stand firmly, he saw Tong Liu, the chief steward of the old Tong family, kneeling down to salute respectfully.
"Old slave Tong Liu, come and see Mr. Yu."
After all, Tong Liu was Tong Guowei's Aha. Yuzhu quickly leaned over, helped him up, and said very politely: "Uncle Tong, you are too polite, I really don't dare to accept it."
Hu Biao on the side was secretly proud of himself. Tong Liu, are you here too?
In the past, Tong Liu was Hu Biao's distant ancestor. He had to pay a quarter of his monthly salary to Tong Liu.
Tong Liu said he was saving it for Hu Biao to prevent him from spending it in vain.
Bah, are you saving for Tong Liu for your own retirement?
"The old master is already waiting in the upper room. Can I lead you in?" Tong Liu bowed and showed a hint of humility.
There is no way, Tong Guowei's body and bones are getting worse every year. Sooner or later, this house will be dominated by Longkodo.
What is the difference between Longkodo’s world and Yuzhu’s world?
As for Yue Xing'a, the eldest son, because his biological mother Hesheli was taken into the family temple by Tong Guowei, he has not returned home for a long time.
The front door of Lao Tong's house was open. Tong Liu wanted to lead Yuzhu through the front door, but Yuzhu didn't go through the front door and entered the house through the side door.
Tong Liu nodded secretly. Yuzhu was the first master of the old Tong family to be such a propriety and law-abiding master.
Yuzhu is not stupid. He only entered the house through the middle door because his brain was convulsed.
The old Tong family is a first-class palace. Tong Guowei is the minister in charge of the bodyguard and the minister of government. Yuzhu is just a fifth-rank official and a grandson. As for being so arrogant, does he have to enter the palace through the middle door?

Being full of losses, being humble and benefiting, and being low-key is the way to go!
After entering the Qinqin Hall, Tong Guowei stood high on the hot bricks, while Yuzhu knelt down respectfully, took off his hat and kowtowed three times.
"Humph, do you still know that you came back to see my Mafa?" Tong Guowei deliberately didn't ask Yuzhu to get up.
Yuzhu also knew that the old man's anger had not subsided, so he smiled and said with a smile: "To be honest with Mafa, the long live master is pushing too hard, and the grandson is thinking about impeaching the prince's gang members."
Tong Guowei is a typical feudal patriarch and a proper political animal. The only way to divert the attention of Mr. Tong is to take political risks.
Sure enough, Tong Guowei's attention was attracted by Yu Zhu's words.
He pondered for a moment and then said: "Sit next to me and tell me slowly, what is going on?"
Tong Guowei is his biological grandfather, not his father-in-law Chang De, who is one floor away. His biological grandfather asked him to sit, so Yuzhu naturally dared to sit down.
Yuzhu told Tong Guowei the whole story about how he defeated Zhenguo Gong'en Mountain and was rewarded with a hot spring house, money and imperial badges by the emperor.
Tong Guowei narrowed his eyes, pondered for a long time, and suddenly sighed and said: "It's just the hot spring house and the silver. The imperial waist card only gave a total of twelve yuan. Old Prince Yuxian, my brother, my husband, Ma Qi
, Suo'etu, Mingzhu..." and counted a long list of names.
Old Prince Yuxian was the deceased emperor's brother, Prince Yufuquan. Because his posthumous title was Xian, he was named Prince Yuxian.
"Hey, it's really an anomaly. If it had been Kangxi forty years ago, you would have had no reason to get such a belt." There is something in Tong Guowei's words.
Yuzhu understood as soon as he heard it. I can't say that today's emperor, forty years before Kangxi, was a wise man, at least he was not as successful as he is today.
"Well, that's right. Neither the old man nor the prince is easy to mess with. If the emperor doesn't protect you, I'm afraid his henchmen will swallow you up." Tong Guowei deliberately threatened Yu Zhu.
Yuzhu is not afraid at all. Even if Tong Guowei doesn't come forward to protect him, Longkoduo and Qingtai are still enough to hold up half of the sky.
Among all the Qing gossip officials in the Manchu Dynasty, except for Yuzhu, who would dare to dip into the muddy waters of the deadly fight between the old man and the prince?
To put it bluntly, there are none!
Who is stupider than whom these days?
Impeach the prince? Impeach the old man?
Don't be ridiculous, just wait until your reputation is ruined and your family is ruined.
Kangxi looked around and saw that only Yuzhu dared to attack Lao Shi4 and slapped Lao Ba in the face in disguise.
How could Kangxi be willing to throw away such a useful knife?
Which Qing gossip official has such a strong family background as Yuzhu?
Objectively speaking, Yuzhu can also choose to wait for death and climb up step by step.
However, Kangxi had been deceived by his own wrong political arrangements and fell into an endless cycle of continuous increase.
To put it bluntly, it was Kangxi who needed the sharp knife of Yuzhu more, not the other way around.
To be honest, if Yuzhu had not wanted to deceive Kangxi's trust and obtain a certain degree of military power in the capital, he would never have participated in this game of seizing chestnuts from the fire.
The current strategic situation is that the emperor is afraid that the prince will rebel. After deposing the prince, the emperor is afraid that Lao Ba will join forces with the Manchu ministers to play the Xuanwu Gate.
From Kangxi's point of view, the abolition and establishment of the crown prince was nothing more than a temporary measure.
Because if the crown prince is not reestablished, all the conflicts in the power field will be concentrated on Kangxi.
Especially after the second waste of the crown prince, until the sudden change of Changchun Garden in November of the 61st year of Kangxi, the fierce struggle during this period was the most exciting part of Kowloon's seizure of the throne.
When the fourth child proclaimed himself emperor in front of the coffin, he didn't even have a posthumous edict from the Daxing Emperor. It was a scandal that would spread throughout the world.
Therefore, Yuzhu only took the Zhenguo Gongen Mountain, and Kangxi rewarded him with an extremely precious imperial waist card.
This is to encourage Yuzhu to keep up his efforts and help Kangxi sleep well.
"Where's the waist badge?" Tong Guowei stretched out his hand and asked Yuzhu to see the waist badge.
Yuzhu naturally wanted to satisfy his curiosity. He took out the heavy waist badge from his arms and held it in front of Tong Guowei.
After Tong Guowei took the badge, he stroked it carefully for a while and then gently placed the badge on the kang table.
Before Yuzhu could react, Tong Guowei took out an identical waist badge made of golden nan wood from his arms and placed the two waist badges side by side.
In everything, I am afraid of comparison.
After putting the two waist badges together, Yu Zhu clearly noticed that Tong Guowei's waist badge had the same number, while his had the number 113.
"Oh, Mingzhu collapsed. I'm lucky to have survived. Suo'etu and his sons are all dead." Tong Guowei raised his head, looked up at the courtyard outside the glass, and looked into the distance, as if in memory.
Many old friends.
Longkodo said that today he specially ordered the Liulichang Office of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to carefully bake three large pieces of glass, rewarded them to Tong Guowei, and installed them in the Qinqin Hall.
From Yuzhu's point of view, although the glass in the Qinqin Hall is not as bright as the glass in later generations, it is still brighter than the dark light from the window paper.
It is said that Kangxi also gave Tong Guowei a single-tube copper telescope and a pair of reading glasses.
Speaking of which, Kangxi knew everything. However, when he was alive, the maritime ban was the most severe.
