Yuzhu went out and welcomed Lao Ba and the others into the VIP room, which was the Donghua Hall of Qing Mansion.
"Fifth brother, seventh brother, you are here too." After Lao Ba led his brothers to pay tribute to Tong Guowei, he sat down next to Lao Wu.
Originally there were only Lao Wu, Lao Qi, Tong Guowei and Nersu at this table, with Qingtai standing beside them.
Now, after Lao Ba and the others arrived, the Eight Immortals table was completely filled.
On the big day of Yuzhu's wedding, Qingtai was the serious head of the family. He took away the remaining banquets and put on the new ones.
As usual, when people under the banner hold weddings, they use flowing water mats.
The so-called running water banquet means that as long as everyone at the table is seated, food and wine will be served. When people leave, the banquet will be cleared away, and so on.
Qingtai had booked the wedding banquet catering service at Zhimei Building early, and today the kitchen was full of cooks and waiters from Zhimei Building.
After Lao Ba and the others entered the table, Qingtai took advantage of the situation and stepped away, leaving the important task of entertaining the distinguished guests to Yu Zhu.
Hehe, Qingtai is also an old man. If he doesn't withdraw now, when will he wait?
During the banquet, Tong Guowei was in charge, and there were jade pillars beside the banquet to help. Qingtai went outside to assist.
If something happens, Qingtai who is outside can make emergency decisions in time to prevent the situation from getting out of control.
This is how the top giants respond to crises tactfully!
There were Lao Wu and Lao Seven who were keeping things under control. Yuzhu was not afraid of Lao Jiu, but Lao Ten and Lao Fourteen deliberately caused trouble.
What's more, today's Yuzhu, in terms of power and status, is completely different from the past.
If Lao Jiu and the others really dared to cause trouble, Yu Zhu wouldn't mind at all. He would go to the palace in tears and complain to the old emperor.
Are you kidding me?
At the time when the crown prince is about to be restored, the four people headed by Lao Ba are what the old emperor is most afraid of now.
Yuzhu can guarantee that as long as he leaves the opportunity to rectify the Eighth Ye Party in the hands of the old emperor, Lao Jiu, Lao Ten and Lao Fourteen who dare to make trouble will at least be punished to guard the imperial mausoleum for a few years.
Lao Wu and Lao Qi both have an indifferent temperament.
Both of them have disabilities, and they have missed out on the big position early on. They don't want to offend their brothers easily.
However, the friendship between Yuzhu and the two of them was extremely deep.
Yuzhu is their son's master, so for this reason, it is completely impossible for Lao Wu and Lao Qi to just sit back and watch Ba Ye's gang come to ruin things.
Seeing Lao Wu and Lao Qi staring at Lao Jiu and the others warily, Lao Ba couldn't help but smile. How could he allow Lao Jiu and Lao Ten to cause trouble when he came today?
It’s just that good things don’t go out, and bad things spread thousands of miles.
The poisonous snake Lao Jiu and the idiot Lao Ten have been notorious for a long time, and it is impossible to reverse the negative public opinion in a short time.
Lao Ba smiled warmly, raised his glass, and said to Tong Guowei: "Uncle, I congratulate you."
Tong Guowei is old and doesn't take care of things much anymore. However, with his prestige and seniority, he is the first person to be respected in the Ba Ye Party.
In any case, as the emperor's only living uncle, he deserves everyone's respect.
Tong Guowei also raised his glass and said with a smile: "Eighth brother, Ma Qi always likes to compete with me. Hey, it's not that you look down on him, why should he compete with me?"
Except for Tong Guowei, there is no one else who dares to call Eighth Prince to his face!
Yuzhu, who was standing behind Tong Guowei, was secretly amused. The old fox was playing tricks again.
Lao Wu was relatively simple and honest, and did not recognize the foreign tone of Tong Guowei's words.
However, Lao Qi has a bright heart and understands it as soon as he hears it.
Tong Guowei's words had three meanings. The first was to vent his dissatisfaction with Ma Qi for not coming to congratulate him in person; the second was to arrogantly announce an astonishing fact. The three generations of the Tong family have all taken their respective positions and should not be insulted;
The third is to warn Lao Jiu and Lao Ten if they dare to cause trouble?
What can Lao Ba say?
He had no choice but to smile, soften Ma Qi's cheeks, and say, "Uncle, don't you know Ma Qi's bad temper? Ma Qi often doesn't even give me my face."
Lao Ba demeaned himself and greatly pleased Tong Guowei.
Tong Guowei laughed and got over this point without continuing to hold on to Ma Qi.
Lao Jiu is more cunning. He rarely takes the initiative to cause trouble, but always instigates the idiot Lao Ten to do so.
Lao Ten caught Lao Jiu's look, stared at Yuzhu and said, "I'm talking to you, the bridegroom, I've been sitting there for a long time, why haven't you come to propose a toast?"
Yuzhu understood as soon as he heard that Lao Ten had actually learned to pick things up. No need to ask, Lao Jiu must have taught him in advance.
"Master Shi, when Mafa is talking, I, a junior, don't dare to interrupt without courtesy." How could Yuzhu be blocked by the idiot Old Shi?
Yuzhu did not play the cards according to the rules and immediately interrupted Lao Shi's back move. He touched his ears anxiously and frequently glanced at Lao Jiu.
Seeing this situation, how could the people present not understand?
Yuzhu secretly sneered. No wonder, after Yongzheng ascended the throne, among all the political opponents who were punished, the poisonous snake Laojiu died the earliest and the worst!
No matter how honest Lao Wu was, he could see that Lao Ten was instigated by Lao Jiu and wanted Yuzhu to act like a clown.
"Eighth brother, you don't care about tenth brother?" Lao Wu's words were very serious, and he didn't even say clearly that Lao Ten was a member of Eighth Brother.
With Lao Wu's temper, he was indifferent to the world.
However, Yuzhu is his father, and the relationship between them is much closer than that of Lao Shi, a biological brother.
Between people, it has always been a matter of helping relatives but not caring.
Except for people who are crazy, or hypocrites like Wang Mang who killed his own son, the elbows are always turned inward.
After being called by Lao Wu, Lao Ba could only pinch his nose and give Lao Ten a look.
Old Ten was exhausted, and Old Nine could only endure it.
There is no way, in the world of martial arts, what matters most is that strength is king.
Today's Yuzhu is the foreman with a knife and a first-class shrimp. To put it bluntly, if Lao Jiu wants to see Kangxi, he must hand over the sign.
As for Yuzhu, he stayed by Kangxi's side every day. If he couldn't protect everything, he could find an opportunity to take advantage of the situation and trick Lao Jiu.
Lao Ba is here to plant flowers, not thorns. It is not a bad thing to let Lao Jiu vent appropriately.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! However, if the commotion becomes a big deal and it turns into a mess, Yuzhu is not easy to mess with.
Everyone is also a big shot in the scene. As long as they don't intentionally want to cause trouble, the atmosphere at the table will naturally become much more harmonious.
However, after drinking for three rounds, Lao Jiu took the lead and made an excuse and slipped out.
Lao Shi followed closely and followed.
After Lao Jiu and Lao Ten disappeared, Lao Fourteen felt a little bored and went out.
Yuzhu knew very well in his heart that Lao Jiu was stupid again. Lao Jiu wanted to take advantage of the large number of people today to win over a few more Manchurian relatives and let everyone support Lao Ba as the prince, right?
Hehe, Yuzhu was too lazy to care about Lao Jiu and the others' pursuit of death. He stayed with Lao Ba and the others and drank to their heart's content.
After the banquet was over, the distinguished guests were sent away politely, and Yuzhu walked towards the bridal chamber smelling of alcohol.
Unexpectedly, the chief steward Zhao Shan stopped Yuzhu halfway and reported a shocking news.
"Go back to the uncle, the eldest grandma just called the younger one over, and ordered the younger one to lead people and lock her companions and dowry girls into the woodshed."
After hearing Zhao Shan's report, Yuzhu was also stunned, and subconsciously asked: "How could this be?"
Zhao Shan said with a bitter face: "Back to the uncle, according to the eldest grandma, before getting married, the people around her were called the step wives of the Cao family, and they were all sold out."
Yuzhu immediately understood that Cao Yin's step-sibling, Mrs. Li, was really ruthless.
In order to control Cao Chun, Li actually sold off all of Cao Chun's confidants.
Yuzhu touched his chin, thought about it carefully, and couldn't help but smile.
Cao Chun is really a capable and decisive woman. No one could have expected that as soon as she married into the Qing Mansion, she would use the power of Yuzhu to violently wipe out all the ears, eyes and eyeliners placed by the Li family around her.
.
"Well, your eldest grandma cannot be without someone who can help you. Zhao Shan, you can screen the slaves and maids in the house overnight and select some experienced ones, and bring them over early tomorrow morning for your eldest grandma to take a look at."
As soon as Yuzhu finished his instructions, he saw Zhao Shanzhi Qian and replied respectfully.
"Replying to the uncle, while I was arresting people to go to the woodshed, I have already made two arrangements. One is to do it as you asked, and the other is to order someone to find Yazi, a person who often interacts with our house, and ask him to
They will all bring their own good slaves over tomorrow, and it will be up to Grandma to choose." Zhao Shan's detailed report made Yu Zhu very satisfied.
Yuzhu smiled and said in public: "If anyone comes, reward him heavily."
Wu Jiang immediately took two ingots of five taels of silver from his arms and stuffed them into Zhao Shan's hand.
"Old slave, I thank you for your kindness." Zhao Shan knelt down to express his gratitude, feeling secretly proud at the same time.
Zhao Shan has been serving Qingtai for decades.
As the saying goes, there are only one emperor and one minister.
If one day Qingtai passes away, Zhao Shan will definitely no longer be able to control the Qing Mansion.
However, as long as one of Zhao Shan's three sons falls under Yu Zhu's eye, even if he cannot take over as the chief steward, he can still protect the whole family.
If a person has no long-term worries, he must have immediate worries. This is a mantra that Qingtai often talks about.
Zhao Shan, I really listened.
After entering the bridal chamber, Yuzhu immediately felt Cao Chun's enthusiasm.
The only fly in the ointment was that Cao Chun's body couldn't bear the torment. Yuzhu ended it hastily, hugged Cao Chun, and fell asleep soundly.
Early in the morning on the next day, Yuzhu led Cao Chun into the palace to thank the emperor for his kindness.
Kangxi's attitude towards Cao Chun was particularly cordial. He not only spoke kindly to Cao Chun, but also rewarded him with many things.
Originally, everything went smoothly.
However, when Yuzhu led Cao Chun to bid farewell to the emperor and went out backwards, Kangxi suddenly said: "Yuzhu, the days ahead are long, so don't be too hasty."
Yuzhu was dumbfounded on the spot and almost turned to stone!
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, who would have imagined that the dignified Emperor Kangxi could be such a profligate person?
Well, it was probably the difficulty and inconvenience caused by Cao Chun's walking that made Kangxi see the clues, right?
