Under normal circumstances, in order to maintain health, Kangxi ate two meals a day and less food after lunch. In the evening, if he was hungry, he would eat snacks, snacks, fruits, etc. instead.
Yuzhu sat on the small table in the side hall, picked up a piece of venison, and put it into his mouth... Hey, it's so cold that I can't bite it!
However, Kangxi was afraid that Yuzhu would not eat well, so he only rewarded her with meat dishes and no vegetarian dishes.
In April in Sijiu City, the weather was still very cold because the Little Ice Age had not yet ended.
There was just a table of cold dishes, and even the soup was cold.
How can this be called a meal reward? It’s obviously a punishment.
Wei Zhu clearly knew that Yuzhu had hardly eaten anything, but he pretended not to see it.
Under the emperor's nose, how could Wei Zhu dare to openly take care of Yuzhu? Do you want to give up your head?
After eating, Yuzhu was still hungry and wanted to leave.
However, Kangxi asked him to talk about common things and asked a lot about Tong Guowei's physical condition.
Fortunately, Yuzhu had met Tong Guowei several times recently and had a detailed conversation, so he was able to answer questions fluently.
Kangxi was satisfied, and finally said casually: "Wei Zhu, reward him with five pounds of Biluochun."
"嗻."
When Wei Zhu brought Biluochun, Kangxi said again: "The badge you are given will actually allow you to enter the Qianqing Sect directly. Didn't Longkodo tell you?"
"Back to the emperor, I forgot to ask my father. I really deserve a beating." The son did not mention his father's fault, so Yuzhu could only take the responsibility on himself.
Yuzhu knew in his heart that the emperor asked him to come into the palace from time to time to report.
However, Yuzhu positioned himself not as a spy, but as a capable minister who could make money, govern the parliament and run the army.
He Shen, a complex with Zhang Jia A Gui!
In the later years of Kangxi's life, all the places that needed money were gone.
Continue the southern tour, visit Mount Wutai, and accompany the Empress Dowager to visit Shengjing to overhaul various gardens, including Changchun Garden, Old Summer Palace, Changchun Garden, Qichun Garden, etc.
In addition, Mao Xiong's continuous eastward invasion and the ulterior motives of the Junggar Khanate greatly stimulated Kangxi's ambition to be a hero.
The money spent on the war has gone to the sea!
Yuzhu knew in his heart that the money-making method he talked about today was just the first cry of young sound, and Kangxi could not immediately follow it.
However, as he spent more money and had less money, sooner or later Kangxi would think of Yuzhu.
This is just like Qianlong. He knew that He Shen liked to play two-faced and made countless money, but he couldn't do without He Shen.
There are so many sycophants around the emperor, and there are almost no capable ministers who can really increase the income of the national treasury and private treasury.
The reason is very simple. In a small peasant society, under the atmosphere of emphasizing agriculture and suppressing business, it would be a miracle to have a gentleman who is good at doing business.
To put it bluntly, compared with Yuzhu, He Shen is simply weak.
Yuzhu knows all the ways He Shen knows how to make money. Even if He Shen can't be beaten to death, Yuzhu still knows how to do it. This is amazing.
When Yuzhu was retiring, Kangxi suddenly said, "I will definitely reward you when you get married."
"I thank the Emperor for his grace." Yuzhu quickly knelt down and thanked him.
After Yuzhu came out of the Qianqing Gate, he saw Bachina waiting for him eagerly.
"Ba Gong, just say that I am angry and walk away." Yuzhu knew clearly that Ba Qina must have been forced to come by Ling Pu in order to invite him to discuss.
Negotiate? Negotiate!
Yuzhu was worried that he had no excuse to deal with Ling Pu, but Ling Pu actually handed him the excuse. How could he let it go so easily?
After leaving the palace, Yuzhu returned to Long Mansion to find Long Keduo.
"Amma, the emperor is urging us to get married, and we have to prepare for the three matchmaking and six rituals with the Fucha family." Yuzhu and Longko are biological father and son, why can't they just talk about it?
Longkodo glanced at Li Si'er, who had his ears pricked up, and said with a smile: "Do you still need to say it? You and I have already prepared the betrothal gift. However, the big matchmaker has a headache because of his low status. I'm afraid that the Fucha family won't look down on me. If you have a high status, you can only find it yourself." This means something.
Yuzhu understood immediately that Longkodo was referring to five, seven and twelve, these three elder brothers.
Over the years, although Longkodo has been tormented by Li Si'er and become unruly, he is still the third son of the first cousin in Manchuria and the future first-class father-in-law.
People under the banner would rather have nothing to eat than save face. This bad habit spread until the fall of the Qing Dynasty.
When Li Si'er saw Yuzhu looking at her, he couldn't help but smile and said: "Humph, how can the wedding of my only son, Li Si'er, be shabby? The wedding gift has been prepared for you a long time ago. Wanping County , Fifteen thousand acres of fertile land. In the outer city, there are ten prosperous shops with five doors. Twenty sets of various gold and pearl jewelry. One hundred thousand taels of silver."
When a nobleman marries a wife, three matchmaking and six etiquette are indispensable. Anything less would be disrespectful to the woman!
The betrothal gift is also called the Ding Ding gift. During the Ding Ding ceremony, the man will carry all the betrothal gifts and send them to the woman’s home with music and music.
Before Dading, there was Xiaoding. The etiquette and frugality of Xiaoding depended on the person, and there were no fixed rules. It all depended on the family's wealth.
According to the customs of the families under the banner, most of the betrothal gifts given by the man to the woman when she gets married must be brought into her husband's family as part of the dowry.
However, after the betrothal gift turned into a dowry, it became the woman's legal private property and was protected by the laws of the Qing Dynasty.
Everything listed in the dowry list will be inherited by the woman's legitimate sons and has nothing to do with the concubines.
Banner people love to save face, especially when it comes to marrying off their daughters.
For families with many daughters, not to mention eating meat, having enough to eat is a problem.
Because there are not a few bannermen who marry their daughters and become poor.
Li Si'er gave a large betrothal gift, and Yuzhu was naturally satisfied. His wife's dowry was too large, and if he got tight, wouldn't it mean that the wool comes from the sheep?
According to the banner people's face-saving custom, if you lose, you will not lose. The dowry given to your daughter must not be less than 80% of the betrothal gift.
In other words, if Yuzhu's betrothal gift is worth 300,000 taels, Changde's dowry to his daughter cannot be less than 240,000 taels.
If you lose it, you will lose your status and you will no longer be able to hold your head up in front of your in-laws.
However, when Yuzhu thought about it carefully, he was a little worried. Would the dowry given by the Fucha family in accordance with the principle of reciprocity be too much?
Worried, Yuzhu smiled from ear to ear and praised Li Si'er continuously.
"How can you say anything about how you treat your son? Your son must teach your daughter-in-law well and ask her to be filial to you."
Li Si'er was in high spirits. At this time, if Yuzhu dared to say a word for the Fucha family, she would definitely be unhappy.
This makes Li Si'er feel unhappy. She won't say anything to Yuzhu, and must be tormenting her daughter-in-law in various ways.
"Hmph, your words can fool a person to death. I don't believe your sweet words. My daughter-in-law, I know how to discipline myself and won't allow you to talk too much."
Li Si'er is very reasonable in other matters. But when it comes to her daughter-in-law, she has made up her mind and must establish good rules.
In the past, Yuzhu suffered a similar big loss. His wife insisted on picking on her daughter-in-law, so Yuzhu just helped his wife and told the truth. As a result, the truth he told became a quarrel between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
The catalyst that intensified the struggle.
This time, Yuzhu was not stupid. Even if Li Sier praised his daughter-in-law, Yuzhu would never agree.
It is a necessary skill for a married man to speak human words to others and tell ghosts to ghosts.
Yuzhu did not dare to speak for the Fucha family, but Longkodo felt that it was not appropriate. He frowned and said, "Si'er, is this betrothal gift too much? In case, the Fucha family cannot afford 80% of it.
Wouldn’t the dowry just make others unhappy?”
Li Si'er smiled proudly and said: "I just want to let their family know that when it comes to power, Changde can't match one of my man's feet. When it comes to wealth, Irgenjue Luo Shi can't match a hair I pulled out, hehe
Hee."
Yuzhu couldn't help but feel a chill. They weren't even married yet, and Li Si'er was going to outdo the Fucha family in every aspect. How could he have a good relationship with his in-laws in the future?
Conflicts within a family often begin to sprout from these subtle details.
However, after Long Ke grew taller, Yuzhu became easier to talk.
Yuzhu said with a smile: "Enie, let's make two preparations. When the big matchmakers come to negotiate the bride price and dowry, if the Fucha family has no objection, it means that their family is quite well-established and is not afraid of too much dowry.
If their family can't afford such a large dowry, they naturally don't dare to hold on. If they give in and lower their heads, then we might as well make do with it and decide the betrothal gift according to their family's dowry. Uh-huh,
Do you like it?"
Longkodo nodded secretly, children can be taught.
Yuzhu's words were out of context, and he paid special attention to Li Si'er's face problem, praised her as Lao Gao, and secretly disparaged the Fucha family.
In fact, Li Si'er just wanted to feel comfortable. Since her son was on her side, she would not dig too deep into it, so she nodded and said with a smile: "If their family can't afford such a large dowry, they will naturally lose their momentum in the future."
Much shorter."
Yuzhu has already had experience, and her mother must have nothing to say about loving her son. However, what her mother is most worried about is: marrying a daughter-in-law and selling her son.
No need to ask, Li Si'er must also have this worry, but she deliberately didn't say it out loud.
Yuzhu understood very well that, let alone between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, even between biological father and mother and biological son, if they spend too long together, they will dislike each other.
Therefore, first stabilize Li Si'er and prevent her from tossing the Fucha family too much and hurting the relationship between the couple. Then use the opportunity of foreign duties to take the Fucha family away from Li Si'er.
These are Yuzhu’s true thoughts.
The fragrance is far away and the smell is near, even if they are biological parents!
On Changde's birthday, Yuzhu got up early, finished his breakfast early, and rushed to Fucha's house to help.
When Yuzhu arrived, Han Yuan, today's general manager, had already arrived. He was directing the servants of the Fucha family, decorated with lanterns and colors, dressed in red and green.
Birthday celebrations in this era all focus on the right time. It would be unlucky to put up lanterns and festoons too early.
After meeting Han Yuan, Yuzhulong put his hands together and said, "Today I am completely dependent on your advice. I am just a listener."
Han Yuan saw that Yuzhu was so easy to talk to, and he couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief. The most terrifying thing about holding such a large-scale wedding and wedding event is that everyone has a say and everyone can say hello.
The result will be a mess, full of loopholes, and a tarnished reputation.
Yuzhu's statement that he would not fight for power won Han Yuan's great favor.
