As Lao Shiba was registered as Yong Beizi and got married, the construction of Beizi Mansion was officially put on the agenda.
Kangxi directly ordered generals, and Yuzhu was responsible for supervising the construction of Yongbeizi Mansion.
According to the system, there were four levels of royal title in the Qing Dynasty, namely prince, county prince, Beile and Beizi.
In layman's terms, everyone above Beizi is a prince!
The base of Beizi Mansion is two feet high, with a one-story main entrance. Four main halls, each five rooms wide, have beasts on the roof.
The doors and pillars are decorated with red and blue paint, the beams and pillars are covered with gold, and flowers and plants are painted.
So far, the royal palaces of the Qing Dynasty are basically located in the west of the inner city, which is called Xigui.
In the Qing Dynasty, there were three levels of titles for family homes.
The homes of princes, county princes, beile, beizi, princesses and first-class town (auxiliary) dukes are called "fu".
The families of officials below the duke and above the third rank are called "di".
Generally speaking, the homes of scholar-bureaucrats and common people can only be called "zhai".
According to the laws of the Qing Dynasty, there are strict limits on house grade and house area, which cannot be exceeded without explicit decree!
Another characteristic of the mansion is that it is an imperial property under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the emperor can take it back or relocate it anytime and anywhere.
If you want to build a mansion, you must first choose a site.
Yuzhu selected ten mansions from all the royal properties, and then took Wendner to inspect them one by one.
Finally, after his legs were thin, Yuzhu chose three of the ten mansions and asked Lao Ba to choose.
Lao Shiba studied carefully for a few days, found Yuzhu, and said in a consultative tone: "Your home is in Jialanyan Hutong behind Shuntian Mansion. If my Beizi Mansion is too far away from your home,
It will be inconvenient for your sister to return to her parents' home in the future."
Yuzhu glanced at Lao Ba, even if he looked at Lao Ba with the eyes of a picky sister-in-law, he was quite satisfied.
Even this detail has been taken into consideration. It can be seen that although Lao Shiba didn't say it, he probably still liked Yuyan in his heart.
Yuzhu deliberately pretended to be stupid and asked Lao Shiba: "What do you mean, Mr. Yibei?"
Lao Shiba was so choked that he rolled his eyes, but he said helplessly: "What I want from my little brother is to choose Bingmasi Hutong on the boundary of Xianglan Banner, okay?"
Yuzhu became picky and deliberately made things difficult for Lao Shiba. He said with a straight face: "Master Beizi, you haven't visited that place and you made a hasty choice. Aren't you afraid of regrets in the future?"
Lao Shiba also noticed that Yuzhu was particularly difficult to deal with today, so he carefully said: "Brother, as long as you think it's good, I will definitely have no complaints, little brother."
Yuzhu understood the subtext, and Lao Shiba told him in a roundabout way that as long as Yuyan was satisfied, no one would dare to have any objections.
It must be admitted that Lao Shiba is quite discerning.
The house in Bingmasi Hutong was originally the former residence of Zhou Yanru, the chief minister of the former Ming Dynasty cabinet.
Zhou Yanru, a member of the Donglin Party, originally from Yixing, was a famous traitor.
Precisely because he was a treacherous minister, the royal family of the Qing Dynasty automatically ignored this place when choosing their residence.
Unexpectedly, Lao Shiba was not afraid of Zhou Yanru's reputation as a traitor.
Yuzhu reminded him with ill intentions: "This is the old position of Zhou Yanru, the traitorous official of the former Ming Dynasty."
Lao Shiba blushed, pursed his lips, and said, "I don't mind, as long as..." He was silent.
Yuzhu finally understood that after Lao Shiba accompanied Yuyan to Cining Palace, he actually fell in love with the beautiful and handsome Yuyan.
Longkodo's appearance was not good, with a strong back and a bear's waist, and a donkey's face and dark skin.
What's strange is that everyone from Yuzhu, Yuyan, to Eighty-Nine, all inherited Li Si'er's good genes, and none of them were like Long Keduo.
Yuzhu didn't care about that. In order to avoid Lao Shiba's regret in the future, he dragged him to Bingmasi Hutong and asked him to see his home in person.
After seeing it, Lao Shiba nodded frequently and was full of praise.
When Yuzhu saw this posture, he thought to himself, OK, let Yuyan come and take a look.
Yuyan, who is already Beizi's direct descendant from Fujin, is now the one with the highest status in the entire old Tong family.
Even if Yuzhu is his biological brother, when biological brothers and sisters meet across the screen, he still has to greet him according to the rules.
Because in front of the aunts and sisters in the palace, Yuzhu didn't mention Lao Shiba at all, he just said that he wanted to invite Yuyan to go out and relax.
If it were anyone else, the charming nuns following Yu Yan, they would definitely make things difficult for Qiao.
Not to mention others, the Ninth Princess of the Emperor and Princess Jing, the wife of Sun Chengyun, were all mistreated by the nun Jingqi around them.
However, Yuzhu is different. He is the powerful head of the Internal Affairs Bureau.
The Sentence Department and the Jingshifang under the Ministry of Internal Affairs are both cannibalistic areas. They go in vertically and come out horizontally, the Palace of Hell.
No matter how powerful Grandma Jingqi is, she will still be a little afraid of Yuzhu.
Therefore, Yuyan, surrounded by everyone, took a red-wheeled carriage and followed Yuzhu out to see her new home.
As a serious Mrs. Beizi, Yuyan's carriage is very impressive.
Red felt roof, blue curtain, red wheel, purple bow, and red hanging silk curtains at the corners.
(Note: 袢, pronounced as Gai; 娨, pronounced as 戀. In order not to affect the smoothness of reading, I will explain it in a new line. This is not deliberately misleading. I will not repeat it in the future. I hope everyone knows.)
Yuzhu was sitting on the horse, chatting with his sister through the gauze curtain.
When passing by Dashunzhai, the jade cigarette holder was greedy and wanted to eat sweets.
On formal occasions, banner people call cakes such as dry food "祽饽".
It must be noted that banner people can talk about pastries and pastries, but they cannot say "dim sum".
The Qing Dynasty's criminal law included the torture of "Ling Chi", and Ling Chi had a fatal blow from the back, which was called "dim sum".
Therefore, the old banner people in Sijiu City are very taboo about such unlucky names.
Banner people are very particular about eating cakes. They eat sun cakes in the second month of the lunar calendar, rose cakes in April, five poison cakes and rice dumplings in May, moon cakes on August 15th, and flower cakes on the Double Ninth Festival in September.
.
Yuzhu had no reason to refuse, so he ordered Wu Sheng to buy it and the maid handed it into the carriage.
When we arrived at Bingmasi Hutong and entered Lao Zhou's house, there were three palaces between Yuzhu and Yuyan. The nuns in the palace had to raise their voices when speaking, which was very inconvenient.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! However, the rules are the rules, and neither Yuzhu nor Yuyan can resist.
Yuzhu had come to see it a long time ago and he knew it well.
This house occupies a very large area, with more than 80 acres of land. The interior of the house is a typical Jiangnan landscape garden style, which is exquisite and beautiful.
If it weren't for the reputation of Ming Dynasty's treacherous prime minister, it would definitely not be Lao Shiba and Yu Yan's turn to choose such a good house.
Yuyan walked around the whole house and was very satisfied. She told Yuzhu directly: "Brother, this place is very nice."
Although Yuzhu was a scholar who read many poems and books, he never cared about things like Feng Shui.
There is definitely no choice in the feng shui of the Forbidden City.
As a result, when Chongzhen was at his craziest, he carried a sword and killed many of his own women in the palace, and he himself was forced to hang himself in Jingshan.
After the Qing Dynasty took over the Central Plains, they directly lived in the Forbidden City where there were many wronged souls. Upon closer inspection, it is impossible to describe the Feng Shui in detail.
After Beizi Mansion selected the address, Bachina, the construction manager, led Lei Jinyu over to pay homage to Yuzhu.
It's been a hundred years since Lei Jinyu sold his face to Yuzhu. Lei Jiaban not only helped build Xiuyun's wedding set, but also helped Cao Yi live in order.
Now, as the old saying goes, it takes thirty years to the east of the river and forty years to the west of the river.
In just a few years, Yuzhu has become Lei Jinyu, the immediate boss of the second generation "Style Lei".
Soon after Yuzhu took charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, he heard the legendary old stories related to Lei Jinyu.
In the thirty-fourth year of Kangxi's reign, the Hall of Supreme Harmony was rebuilt.
At the critical moment of "raising the beams", due to the poor skills of the craftsmen who raised the beams, the mortise and tenon joints always failed to close together when the spine purlins were installed.
At that time, all the relevant officials in front of the Hall of Supreme Harmony were frantic with anxiety.
Because, as long as the mortise and tenon joint is not successful, a large number of people will definitely lose their heads.
Finally, Lei Jinyu volunteered to install the beam. But to do this job, you must have at least a seventh-grade official position. He, a small craftsman, changed into the clothes of a seventh-grade official, climbed up and cracked a few axes, and he was able to install it easily.
.
Kangxi came to the Hall of Supreme Harmony. After looking at it carefully, he admired Lei Jinyu so much that he appointed him a seventh-rank official on the spot and appointed him as the head of the style room.
"Excuse me, General Manager." Bacina and Lei Jinyu asked for greetings together.
Bachina's only daughter Wu Yashi is the concubine of the boss Yinti. She is Li Si'er's best friend, and Yuzhu has always called her his aunt.
With this level of relationship at the bottom, it is natural that Yuzhu cannot neglect Bacina.
Yuzhu helped Bachina up with his own hands, bowed and said respectfully: "Gan Mafa, you are too polite. How can I, a junior, bear this? Please take a seat quickly, come and serve tea, Biluochun, make it lighter."
.Then let’s go to the Saqima, which should be softer. My horse’s teeth are not very good.”
Alas, a friend in need is a friend indeed!
Not to mention the strong family status of the old Tong family, today's Yuzhu alone is far superior to Bachina, a fifth-grade doctor, in terms of power and status.
More importantly, Yuzhu is the immediate boss in charge of Bachina.
Yuzhu paid such tribute to Bacina that even Lei Jinyu, an outsider, could not help but secretly raise his thumb.
Don’t forget your roots and do great kindness!
Bacina is a veteran of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, so how could he be so naive as to sit on the throne?
He and Yuzhu struggled for a while, forcing half of their buttocks to hang in the air, leaning forward, and half sitting on the chair on the side.
How could a seventh-grade Lei Jinyu be qualified to sit in front of Yuzhu? He could only stand obediently behind Bacina, with his ears raised and his waist bowed in an unusually submissive manner.
Yuzhu picked up the tea cup and took a sip.
After seeing this, Bacina held the tea cup in both hands, raised it high, expressed his respect to Yuzhu, and then took a sip.
If Yuzhu picks up the tea cup but doesn't drink it, Wendana, who is waiting on the side, will shout loudly: "See you off!"
The Ministry of Internal Affairs was considered to be the most bureaucracy in the Qing Dynasty, and the Department of Construction was the most vacancies in the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
As for the style house, it is the best in the construction department.
Why? All palace and garden constructions are planned in advance and prototyped by the style house.
This is not Niu Er or Niu San, but Niu Da!
