"Master Yu, I found another little Western-bred Pekingese. Can I bring it to you later?" This is a typical example of Han Yuan using power for personal gain, taking advantage of the emperor's favor and forming his own personal relationship.
Yuzhu shook his head and said: "I am impatient to keep a dog. As long as I keep a dog, I will have to wander around every day, which will be very troublesome."
Han Yuan nodded and said: "What you are saying is that this dog really gets into trouble if it doesn't wander around for a day..." He knew in his heart that Yuzhu actually didn't want to take advantage of him, so as not to
Drop the topic.
In other words, Hanyuan used the emperor's famous dog breed to open up quite a situation in private, but he hit a wall with Yuzhu.
After Yuzhu went to visit his father-in-law and mother-in-law, Han Yuan arranged for him to greet guests at the door.
Not to mention, Hanyuan’s arrangements are indeed very reasonable.
Changde is of the fifth rank, and Yuzhu's son-in-law is also of the fifth rank. A son-in-law from a wealthy family stands in front of the door and greets all distinguished guests for his father-in-law. This is both dignified and shows the sincerity of the host.
So Yuzhu sat in the concierge of the Fucha family. Whenever a distinguished guest came, the chief steward of the Fucha family would come to invite him over and greet the guests with courtesy.
In the so-called birthday banquet, there are really too many details to welcome guests, which is considered the most difficult level.
The guests who come must not be decided based on their grade alone, whether they need Yuzhu to welcome them into the upper room in person.
For example, Irgenjueluo's biological sister married into a Qipin Bitie style, and her husband and wife came with their son.
At this time, Yuzhu had to personally accompany the whole family to the upper room to sit down and serve tea.
After all, this family belongs to Xiuyun's biological aunt, biological uncle and biological cousin.
Originally, Ilgenjueluo thought that Yuzhu was too young and would not be able to sit still in the concierge.
Who would have thought that the butler said that when there were no distinguished guests coming, my uncle would sit in the concierge and drink tea, as safe as a mountain.
Irgen felt that Luo was very satisfied, but deliberately asked her sister: "What do you think of my uncle?"
Little Ergenjue Luo Shi chuckled and said, "Sister, just have some fun. Where can I find such a considerate and down-to-earth uncle?"
Fucha Xiuyun on the side could tell that there was a faint sour taste in Xiao Ergenjue Luo's words.
Alas, these days, even a biological aunt may not hope that the disparity between the two families is too huge.
Xiuyun's uncle is just a seventh-grade pen post type.
However, Xiuyun’s fiancé is not only the number one scholar in Manchuria, but also a 16-year-old full fifth-grade palm seal censor. How can he compare?
Alas, there is simply no way to compare them.
The eldest sister, Ergenjueluo, has a younger brother and a younger sister. The three of them are all direct compatriots born from the same Eni.
Among the two sisters, Ilgen felt that Luo had the best marriage. Back then, when Sabusu was still the deputy capital of Ningguta, she was accused of marrying to Changde.
Little Irgenjue Luoshi was much more beautiful than her sister, but much worse off. When she was about to get married, she actually fell ill, which delayed her good marriage to Duke Feng Enfu.
After this layer of connection, there is actually a vague estrangement between the sisters.
Of course Xiuyun knew everything about the story here, but he deliberately pretended to be confused.
As a junior, you must not get involved in the relationship between your mother and your aunt.
After all the relatives of the Fucha family had arrived, an unexpected guest came to the door.
The chief Manchu scholar and the Minister of Household Affairs, Fucha Maqi, is actually here.
After Yuzhu got the news, he quickly ordered someone to inform Changde to come out and greet the distinguished guests.
After Ma Qi got off the sedan, he immediately saw the handsome young man standing in front of people. Hey, this guy is really brave, he actually dared to carry Lao Shi.
To be honest, Ma Qi actually doesn't like Yu Zhu very much.
Why? A young upstart who has been promoted so quickly is really an eyesore.
Ma Qi's promotion was extremely rapid. He entered the Imperial College as a Yinsheng student, and at the age of twenty-one, he was admitted to the Ministry of Industry as a Yuanwailang.
However, it was not until Ma Qi was thirty-one years old that he was promoted to the fifth rank of Doctor of the Ministry of Industry, which lasted ten years.
However, Yuzhu is only sixteen years old and is already a fifth-level palm seal censor. No matter how broad-minded Ma Qi is, he will inevitably have prejudices against Yuzhu in his heart.
This kind of prejudice is not hostility, it is simply a feeling that young people are too expensive to look at.
Today, Ma Qi didn’t plan to come. He is the chief Manchu scholar and the Minister of Household Affairs. Attending the birthday banquet of a fifth-rank doctor is purely an act of undermining points and prices.
However, something big happened between Yuzhu and the tenth prince, which alarmed Lao Ba.
Lao Ba secretly asked Ma Qi to find a good opportunity to enlighten Yuzhu and tell him not to do stupid things, so as not to take advantage of Prince Yinreng.
Ma Qi also knew that the top priority of the Ba Ye Party was not to clean up the jade pillar, but to find ways to remove Prince Yinreng from the position of crown prince.
When Lao Ba becomes the emperor, how does Lao Shi want to deal with the jade pillar? Isn’t it just a matter of words?
What is the overall situation? The most important thing is to abdicate the crown prince first, and everything else is just a side detail.
"I pay my respects to Ma Zhongtang." Yuzhu bowed to the ground and politely welcomed Ma Qi's arrival.
"That's all." Ma Qi was trying to save Tong Guowei's face and didn't want to embarrass Yu Zhu too much.
After all, he could avoid seeing Yuzhu, but he had no choice but to sit down with Tong Guowei and discuss the plan to support Lao Ba.
Ma Qi knew well that the Tong family were much more cunning than the Hesheli family.
Tong Guowei's descendants each have a strong backer, and not all of them are members of the Ba Ye Party.
However, Tong Guowei led Elundai, his nephew, not to pretend to support Lao Ba, but to really contribute.
It’s not easy to attack Yuzhu!
Yuzhu was not someone who liked to talk a lot, so he accompanied Ma Qi inside with a smile. Ma Qi didn't ask questions, so he just laughed. Whatever Ma Qi asked, he would answer whatever he asked, and he would never be too talkative.<
/p>
Soon, Changde father and son and Sun Chengyun ran out together to greet Ma Qi. Yuzhu's father-in-law celebrated his birthday, and his die-hard brother Sun Chengyun was definitely coming to help.
Yuzhu was waiting in the concierge to greet the distinguished guests, while Sun Chengyun was at Xinuang Pavilion, helping to entertain the distinguished guests, so they didn't waste any time.
"Meet Ma Zhongtang."
After Changde and his son and Sun Chengyun met with Ma Qi, they all gathered around Ma Qi and headed toward the upper room.
Ma Qi, the first-grade Manchurian bachelor in the management department, is actually the prime minister, and his status is too high.
When the guests and hosts were seated, Ma Qi was invited to the first seat on the Kang. From Changde down, including Yuzhu, everyone stood around the Kang and talked with Ma Qi.
In the Fucha clan, Fucha Maqi is the cousin of the direct branch, and Fucha Changde is the cousin of the side branch.
This level of kinship is very weak, and it is very likely that they have already been released to the fifth server, and they fall into the category of recognition or disapproval.
Now that Ma Qi is here, it means that he still recognizes this relationship.
After all, Ma Qi's biological father Mi Sihan once merged the family tree with Sabusu.
According to the rules of the banner people, merging family trees means joining the clan. Even if the true blood relationship has gone beyond five generations, they can still be regarded as serious relatives.
There is no way, the whole society, the most important thing is strength, not blood relationship.
Sabusu, who relied on his true ability to become a Heilongjiang general, is fully worthy of Mi Sihan's respect.
When it came time to talk about relatives, Changde naturally gave Ma Qi a thousand dollars as a family gift.
Yuzhu is the son-in-law of Changde. Changde has given him a thousand greetings, so he naturally has to follow suit.
Ma Qi smiled and waved his hands and said: "My brothers, too many etiquettes make me look like a heretic."
Sun Chengyun on the side saw clearly. Ma Qi said very politely, but he didn't even lift his butt. It was obvious that he didn't take Chang De seriously.
Also, Ma Qi is the chief Manchu scholar, and Chang De is a fifth-grade doctor. The difference in status is too great.
In the late Qing Dynasty, the trend of servility in the officialdom became more and more popular, and such a huge disparity had to be faced on one's knees.
Yuzhu understood at a glance that Ma Qi's birthday wishes to Changde were in vain, as he probably came because of him.
The reason is simple. If Ma Qi really regarded Changde as his cousin, he should stand up and give an arm-in-arm salute. However, he did not.
However, Ma Qi arrived late. Yuzhu had already handed over the petition to Kangxi, and it was the core member of the Ba Ye Party, Aling'a, who was impeached.
There is no doubt that the day Yuzhu's bullets were made public by Kangxi was the time when he and the Baye Party officially broke apart.
Ma Qi's only daughter is married to Lao Twelve. However, he does not support his son-in-law, but firmly supports Lao Ba. It is obvious that he is a political animal who does not care about family ties.
Of course, the mother clan of Lao Twelve is really not that good. Lao Twelve’s Guo Luomafa and Tuoerbi are just a fifth-grade doctor. His uncle Sang Qin is also a small official who can’t hold chopsticks.<
/p>
This Ma Qi didn't even go to attend the birthday of his in-laws, but came to his distant cousin Changde to celebrate his birthday. If he said there was no reason, he wouldn't believe it even if he beat Yuzhu to death.
After the polite greetings were completed, Yuzhu suggested that he should go to the concierge to receive the distinguished guests for Changde.
Ma Qi is also a veteran. As soon as he saw Yu Zhu's style, he knew that his trip today was in vain.
Among masters, many words do not need to be said clearly. The true feelings can be known through body language cues.
However, Lao Ba really values Yuzhu. If Yuzhu also joins the Ba Ye Party, the appeal will be really incredible!
Ma Qi put down the tea cup in his hand, looked at Yuzhu with a smile, and said, "I have a few words that I want to ask you in private."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone understood. Everyone, led by Chang De, resigned one after another and left the upper room.
When there were only two people left in the room, Ma Qi said with a smile: "When I come here, Master Ba has given me instructions. Please come over to visit the garden and listen to a play at your convenience."
As Ma Qi, being able to say such words is enough to prove how much Lao Ba attaches importance to Yuzhu.
The eighth child in history also tried his best to win over Longkodo. However, no matter how many benefits he gave, it was not worth the fact that the fourth child always talked about the word uncle.
Can the emperor's uncle and the emperor's ministers be the same?
Yuzhu didn't know when Kangxi would take action to deal with Aling'a. Maybe it would be in the next few days, or maybe it would be when the prince was deposed.
"Thank you for your support, Mr. Ba. When I have free time from my humble job, I will definitely pay you a visit and ask Mr. Ba for advice on how to raise a Kunqu opera troupe."
As long as Kangxi didn't have a showdown with Lao Ba, Yuzhu would not be able to offend Lao Ba.
The so-called pure minister means that Yuzhu will break with whomever the emperor breaks with.
The prince and the old man have been fighting for so many years, who can beat Kangxi?
Kangxi had too many power resources. If a little military power leaked out from his fingers, it would be enough for Yuzhu to be happy for a long time.
(PS: On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Yuzhu squeezed out time and posted the second update. If the number of monthly tickets exceeds 570 today, I will vomit blood and add the second update!)
