After Yongzheng came to power, because of the war in the northwest and the huge defeat in Tongbo, almost every family in the Eight Banners in the capital had filial piety.
The purpose of fighting in the northwest was to fight for money, food and population. Since there was always a shortage of money, Yongzheng imposed a sea ban.
However, Yongzheng left behind a small tail. Businessmen who went to sea must return to their country within three years. Those who have not returned for a long time will not be allowed to return to their ancestral home.
"I originally thought that the foundation of our Tong family, which was founded by your great-great-grandfather Baoyang Zhengong, would come to an end with your Ama. Who would have thought that a weirdo like you would come out. Hehe, I Tong Jia's wealth will be worry-free for a hundred years." Tong Guowei looked at Yuzhu with a smile, and a strange smile suddenly appeared on his wrinkled old face, "Hey, I'd like to teach you how to use the one I took out last time. There is not a word in this pamphlet. If you accept it, huh, I will not interfere with your aunt's entry into the family temple. Why bother? It will offend your eldest brother and make the prince feel extremely unhappy. ”
Yuzhu smiled slightly and said: "When Lord Shunzhi was in power, he favored and trusted Prince An Yue Le. Until now, he has been suppressing Yue Le and Malhun."
Tong Guowei nodded frequently and said with a smile: "Boys can be taught. Once the emperor and the courtiers, when I die, you, Ama, will probably kill Tong Liu."
When it comes to his biological father, Longkodo, Yuzhu naturally finds it hard to answer.
However, Tong Guowei didn't intend to listen to what Yuzhu said, and said directly: "Tong Liu is my Aha. He is over fifty years old this year. He knows the most about the things around me. Why not just let me do this?" How about he follow you to Toujia Lane to take care of his old age, talk about ancient times, and listen to your orders?"
Yuzhu heard that the once arrogant Tong Guowei actually had a hint of pleading.
Tong Guowei did not explain clearly the complete story of how Tong Liu offended Longkodo. But, who is Yuzhu?
Hehe, it probably has something to do with Li Si'er's inability to enter old Tong's house. So, after Tong Guowei closes his eyes, the survival of Tong Liu's family will all depend on Yu Zhu's carefulness.< /p>
To put it bluntly, except for Yuzhu, no one can stop Li Si'er from blowing the pillow wind in Longkodo's ears.
If you raise a dog for more than ten years, the owner and the old dog will definitely have a deep relationship.
But, why should Yuzhu protect Tong Liu’s entire family?
Just when Yuzhu was hesitant, Tong Guowei suddenly shouted loudly: "Xiao Liuzi, why don't you come in and kowtow to the master?"
Tong Liu, who had been waiting outside the door for a long time, hurriedly entered the house, knelt down in front of Yuzhu, kowtowed three times, and said in a trembling voice: "Please help me, Master, save my whole family. I don't ask for glory and wealth. I just want to save my little one’s life.”
Yuzhu smiled slightly, looked at Tong Guowei, and said: "Their whole family, young and old, must give me their deeds. Otherwise..."
How can a wealthy old man like Tong Liu be obedient and loyal if he doesn't control the lifeblood of his family?
Tong Guowei laughed angrily, raised his finger and pointed at Yuzhu's nose, and said solemnly: "You even have to guard against me?"
Before Yuzhu could say anything, Tong Guowei suddenly laughed out loud and said three good words in a row, "Good, good, good. If you are not poisonous or a husband, you should be like this if you achieve great things."
"Since ancient times, if you want to become a big business, you must guard your family. If you can't control the people around you, the building will collapse sooner or later." Tong Guowei pointed at Tong Liu and said in a deep voice, "Xiao Liuzi, you have been with me for forty years.
Now, let me go with my young master today. I don’t want to say anything more. Loyalty is my top priority. Otherwise, no one will be able to save your whole family."
Yuzhu nodded secretly. He could see that Tong Guowei said these words for the sake of Tong Liu.
As Tong Guowei's uncle and Yuzhu's biological grandfather, how could he have wronged himself if he hadn't been thinking about Tong Liu?
After all the marriage contracts of Tong Liu and his family were given to Wu Jiang, Tong Guowei took a deep breath and began to complain about Longkodo: "If your mother was half as reasonable as you, why would you do this?"
Naturally, it is impossible for Yuzhu to agree with Tong Guowei's words. If Longkodo did not pamper Li Si'er, Yuzhu and Li Si'er would have been cleaned up by the little Hesheli family.
In this world, there are many things that if you have them, I don’t have them. Even if you take them away, I will lose my life.
Longkodo is much more difficult to talk to than Yuzhu. If he doesn't say two sentences correctly, he will be violent.
Yuzhu is actually very reasonable. If his elder brother Yue Xing'a doesn't come to trouble him, he will not take the initiative to torment Yue Xing'a.
That’s not necessary!
Tong Guowei has been secretly observing Yuzhu. Now, by giving Tong Liu to Yuzhu, he can save the lives of Tong Liu and his family, and he also has confidence in Yuzhu's conduct.
Yuzhu glanced at Tong Liu, who was very respectful, and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.
Is the old man’s so-called pamphlet as good as Tong Liu’s foot?
To put it bluntly, Tong Guowei's Aha, the chief steward of the old Tong family, Tong Liu, is the real encyclopedia of the old Tong family.
When masters compete with each other, everyone is very understanding, so don’t deal with those who are imaginary.
In fact, after Tong Liu followed Yuzhu, the details of the old Tong family were in the hands of Yuzhu, not Longkoduo.
The bigger the family, what does a great steward like Tong Liu who has been in power for decades not know? Why is he ignorant?
In essence, today's transfer is a transfer of clan rights that transcends Longkodo.
Tong Guowei did it on purpose.
Yuzhu also deliberately pretends to be stupid.
This is a tacit understanding between grandfather and grandson.
Tong Liu stood beside Yuzhu with his hands down, feeling much more at ease.
Alas, the ancestor's body and bones are getting worse and worse. This means that the time for Longkodo to inherit the first-class title is getting closer and closer.
As long as Longkodo takes over as the head of the family, without the protection of jade pillars, it would be weird for Li Si'er not to skin Tong Liu.
"I will go to your father-in-law's birthday, don't worry." Before parting, Tong Guowei relaxed.
Yuzhu smiled and said nothing. The old man is gone, which is the icing on the cake. If he doesn't go, it won't be a big problem.
Because the fifth elder brother has already replied to the letter, and there is no doubt that he will go there on the day.
Lord Beile, the prince in charge of the courtyard, personally came to congratulate the fifth-grade doctor on his birthday. In any case, Changde's face was already enough.
After bidding farewell to Tong Guowei, Yuzhu gave Tong Liuliu a few days' leave and asked him to clean up the aftermath.
"Old Uncle Tong, don't be in a hurry to move, pack it up slowly, call a few more trucks, and pay the freight to my accountant over there." Yuzhu was still very polite to Tong Liu, not because he was being unreasonable.
The lifeline of his family is his command and control.
After listening to the instructions, Tong Liu felt more at ease.
In fact, Tong Liu didn't want to leave Tong Guowei's side. However, Tong Guowei forced Tong Liu to leave.
This is the same as in the TV series Ming Dynasty, when Jiajing forced Lu Fang to leave before his death. Lu Fang seemed to be demoted, but he actually saved his life.
Only when you have true feelings will you arrange an escape route like this.
Otherwise, just like Liang Jiugong and Wei Zhu, the fourth brother killed these two as soon as he took over the throne in Changchun Garden. The name is also very beautiful: Martyrdom for the Lord.
Tong Liu is not just himself, he now has a family of nearly twenty children and grandchildren. It’s unlikely that the whole family will die in Li Si’er’s hands, right?
On the second day, at nearly noon, Yuzhu arrived at the Yamen.
Wendena, who was close to the person who wrote the post, hurried over, beat Qian Hou, bowed his waist and said: "Master Zongxian, there are some accounts in the Ministry of Internal Affairs that need to be written off. The general manager Ling Pu sent someone to ask, what are you doing?
Do you want to come over when you have time? I didn't dare to say anything in my humble position. I just said that you went out on business and ordered him to come back in the afternoon."
Yuzhu nodded. After Enshan was defeated, his prestige had initially spread. Even Ling Pu, the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, had to respect him.
These people are all people who fear power and are not ethical.
If Yuzhu was a soft persimmon, Lingpu would definitely not be so thoughtful with the power of the prince.
These days, power is given by the emperor, but authority must be earned by oneself.
It doesn’t mean that if I give you a bachelor to take charge of the ministry, you will be the real prime minister.
Sun Chengyun's wedding is coming soon. According to ancient rituals, Heshuo was attached to one side of his forehead and had to send geese, sheep, wine and other gifts to the Meridian Gate. The emperor sent Man Shangshu of the Ministry of Etiquette to pick them up. This is the so-called "receiving the gift"! p>
On the second day after receiving the lottery, there will be a big banquet in the palace and the baron's house to reward relatives and six dependents.
Yuzhu thought for a while and then told Wendner: "When the people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs come again, just tell them that we will talk about it after I have been busy for a while."
Although Ling Pu lowered his head, he didn't even send a doctor to negotiate, so he still looked down on people.
In the officialdom, reciprocal reception and negotiation are important. If Yuzhu is of the fifth rank, the Ministry of Internal Affairs must send at least a doctor of the fifth rank to negotiate.
Ling Pu just sent a messenger over to negotiate. Hey, there is still no need to look at Yuzhu.
After leaving the Yamen, Yuzhu returned to Long's house as usual to have dinner with Li Si'er.
Li Si'er hadn't seen his son for several days, and he was so happy that he kept picking up food for him.
Longkodo also missed his son. He acted like a biological father and refused to pick up food for Yuzhu, but the smile on his face could not be hidden.
"Good son, why have you lost weight?" Li Si'er always felt that Yuzhu had lost weight.
Longkodo knew clearly that Li Si'er was confused because of his concern, but he kept silent and allowed the woman to ramble on.
During this period, Yuyan has been living with Qingtai, and Guarjia personally taught her the rules.
Guarjia was also a wonderful person. She invited four wonderful nuns from the palace to take turns teaching Yuyan the postures of sitting and standing, and the correct way to step on the bottom of a flower pot. p>
Li Si'er was reluctant to part with her at first, but Yuzhu convinced her. In any case, Yuyan is the eldest aunt of the Tong family, and basic etiquette is a must.
Otherwise, both Longkodo and Yuzhu will become the laughing stock.
Especially Yuzhu, his biological sister is actually a wild girl who doesn't know etiquette. How can he stand in the court in the future?
This was the statement that impressed Li Si'er the most, so she listened and watched Yu Yan suffer at Qingtai's place.
Yu Yan is already nine years old, and she should be planning to get married when she is fourteen at the latest. If she doesn’t learn basic etiquette, it will be too late.
Long Keduo likes to listen to operas, and Yu Yan is a girl. If she can't make trouble with him, naturally the matter has nothing to do with her and she just hangs it up.
However, sugarcane is not as sweet as both ends.
As Yuzhu rose in the officialdom, he also earned Li Si'er a fifth-grade pleasant wife, and the matter of letting Yuyan marry low was put on hold.
Li Sier regretted it!
Yuzhu has long been accustomed to Li Si'er's capriciousness. Anyway, let Yuyan go out and be tortured first, suffer some hardships, learn etiquette, and choose a son-in-law in the future. Take it one step at a time and let's talk about it when the time comes. After dinner, when the family of three were sitting together drinking tea and chatting, Li Si'er said abruptly: "After Mrs. Fucha gets married, will she live outside with you, or at home with us?"
The jade pillar does not show it on the surface, but in its heart it is clear that the inevitable disaster has finally come.
(PS: Li Si'er is going to be a monster. The excitement will be in the next chapter. It's time to enjoy the monthly ticket!)
