Chapter 31: Going to the South of the Yangtze River
In the alley, a huge convoy of more than a dozen carriages had already set up their stance.
It was the first time for her son to go on a long journey, and Li Si'er was absolutely reluctant to part with her. She insisted on sending her son off, but Longkodo couldn't stop her, so she had to accompany Yuzhu to the gate.
Li Si'er's eyes were red, and while shedding tears, she held Yuzhu's hand and said pitifully: "My son, you must be careful when you go out. Outside, a strong dragon will not overwhelm a local snake, no matter who it is.
If I offend you, don’t make it public for the time being. Just write back and ask your mother to clean up those bad things."
Yuzhu knew that Li Si'er said this because he was really doing it for his own good.
"Eni, don't worry. My son is going south this time to study, not to grab territory. He won't cause any trouble. Besides, our Tong family has disciples and former officials all over the world. As long as Ama is good
, who dares not to give me face?" Yuzhu's words made Longkodo laugh.
Longkodo felt very comfortable, so he twirled his beard and smiled proudly, saying proudly: "Hey, whoever dares to bully my son, Longkodo, is probably because he has eaten the courage of a bear's heart and a leopard's courage, right?"
Relatives cherish each other and say goodbye with tears.
When Yuzhu was about to board the car, he suddenly heard Li Si'er calling him, "Wait a minute."
"Well, Enie was thinking about it. A girl is a girl after all. You really can't live without someone who knows the warmth and warmth of the house. Now, take her to the south with you."
Following the direction of Li Si'er's finger, Yu Zhu suddenly saw Lin Yan'er, who was much more beautiful than Yang Mi.
At this time, Lin Yan'er was holding a large bundle in one hand, her head lowered, and she was standing obediently behind Li Si'er.
What was going on? Yuzhu was a little confused.
In fact, Li Si'er had long planned to arrange for a maid to accompany Yuzhu south. After all, Yuzhu was already fifteen years old.
According to the rules of the people under the banner, when a man is fifteen years old, the elders should arrange for someone to warm the bed in the house.
However, if Yuzhu takes the initiative to take Lin Yan'er with him, Li Si'er will definitely not agree.
Precisely because Yuzhu didn't take the extremely handsome Lin Yan'er to heart, Li Si'er felt relieved and stuffed Lin Yan'er into the southbound motorcade.
Being a mother is really difficult. There is no intercourse girl around my son, and I am afraid that he will not know how to deal with people, and he will not even know how to play with women.
However, if my son is too greedy for beauty and is afraid of hurting his body, he will be really confused.
When parting, Yuzhu naturally would not make Li Si'er unhappy because of a girl with whom he had a common relationship, so he acquiesced to the arrangement of Lin Yan'er going south with him.
A dozen guards with swords, riding on tall horses, surrounded by Yuzhu, set off in a mighty convoy.
In the carriage carriage, Yuzhu sat in the middle, Hanshuang and Hanxue knelt together on the left, and Lin Yaner stayed alone on the right.
"Second Master, are you thirsty?" Hanshuang asked Yuzhu with a smile. She knew that as long as Yuzhu didn't rest in the carriage, he would definitely drink hot tea within an hour.
Yuzhu nodded and said, "Yes, after talking for a long time, my mouth is really dry."
Hanshuang took out the still warm teapot from the insulated teapot bucket, poured a cup of tea, and held it to Yuzhu's hand.
Yuzhu took the tea cup and took a sip. Well, the Biluochun that the noble lord in the palace rewarded has a sweet fragrance and endless aftertaste. It is indeed a good tea.
When Kangxi visited Taihu Lake in Wuxian County on his southern tour, Jiangsu Governor Song Luo presented the famous local tea "Scaring Fragrance". Kangxi felt that the name was not suitable for elegance, because it was produced in Biluofeng and looked like a green snail, so he gave it the name "Biluochun"
”.
From then on, "Biluochun" became a tribute tea, and local officials purchased it every year as tribute to Beijing.
Concubine Tong, who had the power to take charge of the Sixth Palace, rewarded Longkodo with three kilograms of Biluochun. Longkoduo gave two kilograms to Yuzhu, and only kept one kilogram for himself as a treat for distinguished guests.
"Second Master, is Jiangnan fun?" Han Xue looked very displeased at Lin Yan'er, pretending to be curious about the baby, but in fact he was deliberately showing off her close relationship with Yu Zhu.
Yuzhu smiled and said: "When we get to Jiangnan, I will sell you to the second master for a few taels of silver."
"Humph, Second Master, you are not short of money at all. If you sell your slave, who will warm your bed in the cold weather?" Han Xue knew that Yuzhu was joking with her, so not only was she not afraid, but she also dared to retort witty remarks.
Yuzhu smiled hoarsely. He was born in a wealthy family, and he had indeed enjoyed all the great wealth of the masters.
Not to mention anything else, in winter alone, even if there is a heated kang in the house, Han Xue will get into the bed, warm the quilt for him, and then ask him to lie down in it.
Hanshuang stared at Lin Yan'er's every move calmly. The innocent Han Xue was not a worry, Lin Yan'er, who looked like a little vixen, was the real trouble.
In front of everyone, Li Si'er announced that Lin Yan'er was from Yuzhu's house, which confirmed Lin Yan'er's identity as the eldest girl in the room.
The eldest girl and the eldest daughter of the first wife, even though they are both eldest girls, their status is very different.
According to the custom of the people under the banner, the eldest girl who is the first-in-law in the male master's house is the legitimate head of the girls.
The eldest girl in the same house can get into Yuzhu's bed without any hesitation. But among the ordinary maids, whoever dares to crawl into the master's bed will definitely be beaten to death and sold to a dirty place like that.
Hanshuang, the study maid, was originally the number one girl around Yuzhu. Now, her position is taken by Lin Yaner, how can she have no objection?
Yuzhu is too lazy to pay attention to the intrigues among the girls. He can love his girls whoever he wants, and those who are not favored deserve to be left out.
Lin Yan'er is very beautiful. Not only is she the second daughter of a wealthy businessman, she is also proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting.
It would be strange for such an outstanding woman to be among the girls and not be envied by others.
Ever since Lin Yaner entered the house, Yuzhu had always ignored her and never visited her.
How should I put it, no matter how charming a woman is who approaches her with a special purpose, Yuzhu is too lazy to touch her.
This time, if Li Si'er hadn't forced Lin Yan'er into the team, Yu Zhu would have forgotten her long ago.
After spending more than an hour in the city, the motorcade finally arrived in front of Chaoyang Gate.
Chaoyang Gate is the east gate of Sijiu City. It is guarded by the City Gate Lieutenants under the Infantry Command Yamen, leading troops.
The city gate captain Ha Xianglu knew that his immediate boss's motorcade was leaving the city and hurried over to greet them.
"Ha Xianglu, I wish you well, Mr. Yu." Ha Xianglu quickly ran to Yuzhu's carriage and called him a thousand words to say hello.
Hanshuang cleverly lifted the curtains on the side of the car window so that Yuzhu could see Ha Xianglu.
"Master Ha, you are too polite. The student is just a natural student. How dare you accept your courtesy?"
Yuzhu is not the arrogant Longkodo. He has always been tolerant and kind to others, and he will never say anything in front of others.
Ha Xianglu bowed his waist and said with a smile: "To be honest with Mr. Yu, I can be considered half of the Tong family. In terms of seniority, Long Shuai should be the ancestor of Mafa's generation."
Yuzhu knew in his heart that Ha Xianglu was obviously talking nonsense. However, in the officialdom, things like calling your boss your godfather or godgrandfather were endless, and there was no way to go into it.
"Check according to the rules." Yuzhu didn't want to embarrass Ha Xianglu, let alone let him talk. Being arrogant and domineering is not a good reputation.
Ha Xianglu is not a fool. Even if he had 800 courage, he would not dare to check the Tong family's motorcade.
"It has been inspected. It has been inspected a long time ago. If the mark is given, we will let you go." Ha Xianglu called Qian again respectfully. After standing up, he waved his hands repeatedly to signal his soldiers to let him go.
At this moment, a loud shout suddenly came from the side of the road, "How dare you hide something forbidden by the imperial court..."
