According to the rules, the princes and elder brothers who have been ennobled in separate houses have to go to the study room to study for half a day when they are not running errands, and can only come out in the afternoon.
However, the emperor's grandchildren were different. Except for the crown prince's eldest son, Hongxi, who had been taught by Kangxi himself for many years, the rest of the emperor's grandchildren were left to their own devices, each taking care of his or her own affairs.
Originally, according to Seventh Brother's original intention, he wanted Hongshu to worship Yuzhu as his teacher after he passed the provincial examination.
However, Hongshu shook his head and said, "If you didn't pass both exams, why should you be a teacher?" The implication was that Yuzhu was not qualified to be his teacher for the time being.
In the examination hall, the A list announces the list of candidates for the Imperial Examination, and the B list announces the list of candidates for the Provincial Examination. This is the origin of the two lists.
Yuzhu never thought about becoming Hongshu's teacher. How could he have so much time to study and practice calligraphy with a little kid?
The seventh elder brother scolded: "Nonsense. How could you be so virtuous and capable that you dare to look down on the head of the Shuntian Prefecture's trial case?"
Hongshu didn't dare to argue, but the way he secretly rolled his eyes was obviously unconvinced.
"The words of a child are very ridiculous. Don't blame me, my dear brother." The seventh elder brother's words of "virtuous brother" are tantamount to publicly acknowledging the identity of Queen Xiao Yiren's adoptive mother.
When the concubine Dai Jia gave birth to the seventh prince, her status was too low to raise the prince herself. Therefore, Kangxi gave the seventh prince to Queen Xiao Yiren to raise for a period of time.
Similarly, when De Fei Wu Ya gave birth to her fourth elder brother, she was just a humble palace maid. The fourth elder brother grew up in the Chengqian Palace and was raised by Queen Xiao Yiren until he was eleven years old, before moving to Ah
In Gesuo.
Because of this relationship with his adoptive mother, the fourth elder brother always affectionately called Longkodo his uncle.
The late Empress Xiao Yiren, whose surname was Tong Jia, was Yuzhu's direct aunt and the adoptive mother of the fourth and seventh elder brothers. Therefore, it makes perfect sense for the seventh elder brother to call Yuzhu a good brother.
Qin Shun stood aside with his eyebrows lowered, not daring to talk too much, but his heart was open. Ever since he was assigned to the seventh brother by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, he had never heard his master mention the matter of his adoptive mother.
The seventh elder brother paid special attention to Yuzhu, so he recognized the kinship from the adoptive mother's side, not the other way around.
A banquet was held at Baylor's Mansion, and the prince's elder brother and princes and nobles came in droves.
When the seventh elder brother went out to meet guests, he specifically told Qin Shun: "Be careful and serve him carefully." He raised his feet and left.
Qin Shun came close to Yuzhu, bowed his waist, and said flatteringly: "Second Master, this place is just like your own home. Don't be restrained."
Yuzhu smiled slightly, took out the banknotes he had prepared from his sleeves, and stuffed them into Qin Shun's hand, "Take them and give them to the people below."
Qin Shun's sharp eyes could tell just by looking at the color of the ticket that it was a large sum of one hundred taels.
The seventh elder brother regarded Yuzhu as his younger brother. Not only did Yuzhu not act like his master, he was also extremely generous with his actions.
Qin Shun was born in the Ministry of Internal Affairs and had seen the ups and downs of many eunuchs and high-ranking officials. Naturally, he knew that Yuzhu's good-natured and unfazed person would definitely have a bright future.
"Second Master, if you're bored, can I take you to the small garden to have a look?" Qin Shun came up with an idea with a smile on his face, sincerely trying to please Yuzhu.
Yuzhu shook his head and said with a smile: "If there are any good snacks, bring them to me. I will be very happy while eating tea, eating snacks and reading a book."
Today, in Qibele Mansion, there are too many princes, princes and kings to count. Even the prince may come to congratulate you.
If Yuzhu left this place, he would have to go through so many troubles just to say hello and say hello, so why would he bother himself?
Qin Shun was not a fool and could not come up with random ideas. Seeing Yu Zhu's worries, he bent down and said with a smile: "We never entertain foreign guests in the small garden. They are all our own people."
Yuzhu felt a little strange, even though the people playing in the small garden were all his own people from Qibele Mansion, there were still male and female guards there.
If he collides with Qibei's Fujin, side Fujin, concubine Fujin, or concubine, then yellow mud will fall into his crotch. Can you make it clear?
Seeing Yuzhu's hesitation, Qin Shun couldn't help but nodded secretly, he is a polite and sensible person.
Qin Shun said with a smile: "We are here to entertain guests in the mansion today. Our master has already given instructions to everyone to stay in their place and not to move without permission."
Yuzhu understood. There were too many people talking today, and it was impossible for any woman in the seventh elder brother's house to show her face, lest it cause an unexplainable scandal.
"What do you think?" It was the first time Yuzhu participated in a wealthy family's feast. He didn't dare to make any mistakes, so he turned to ask Sun Chengyun.
Sun Chengyun leaned on the chair and said with a smile: "It's very warm here, it's very cold outside."
He was not stupid. Qin Shun invited them to the small garden again and again. If there were no tricks in it, he would have written the character "Sun" backwards.
Qin Shun complained secretly. The Nala family of Fujin, who was the biological mother of the crown prince Hongshu, heard that Yuzhu was exceptionally beautiful and talented, so she deliberately betrothed her biological sister to Yuzhu.
The sister-in-law of the Nala family of Fujin, who is only twelve years old, will definitely participate in the palace's talent show in the future. However, the Nala family is thinking about it, and wants the seventh elder brother to ask the emperor's order in advance and give it to her biological sister.
Refers to a suitable marriage.
Logically speaking, Nala's private plan has a high probability of success. After all, the seventh prince is the emperor's biological son, and he has never asked for anything before. For this kind of dignity and grace that has nothing to do with imperial power, the emperor is very likely to
So he rewarded it to the seventh elder brother.
Yuzhu's biological mother, Li Si'er, had a very bad background and a bad reputation.
However, in a patriarchal society, men's status is obviously more important. Yuzhu's Ama is Longkodo, the powerful admiral of the Nine Sects, and his Mafa is the chief minister of the bodyguard, the first-class Duke Tong Guowei.
It's a typical example of a wrong family and a wrong household. How could Yuzhu fall in love with Nala's sister?
However, Nala was loved by the seventh elder brother very much, and she was the mother of the crown prince Hongshu, so Qin Shun could not afford to offend her at all.
Qin Shun knew that this was impossible, but he just wanted to lure Yuzhu to the small garden and meet Fujin's sister. Regardless of whether it happened or not, it would be regarded as a job with the Nala family.
Who would have thought that Yuzhu was extremely cautious and refused to cross even half a step, which gave Qin Shun an unusual headache.
The seventh elder brother has always been a solitary minister and is not close to anyone. The emperor did not doubt him and gave him a certain amount of military power.
In these four-nine cities, if there is a certain amount of military power, there will be no shortage of people to win over.
The eighth elder brother came early, and his best friends the ninth elder brother, the tenth elder brother and the fourteenth elder brother also came to support him.
The brothers were sitting in the West Flower Hall, drinking tea and chatting. The seventh elder brother was sitting sideways to accompany them.
"Seventh brother, I heard that you invited Yuzhu over today?" The tenth elder brother took the eighth elder brother's look and abruptly brought the topic to Yuzhu.
