At the right time, Ma Wu entered the garden. After Yu Zhu handed over to him, he immediately went on duty.
When Yuzhu returned to Jiangnan Bamboo Garden, Lin Yaner squatted down and said with a smile: "Master, the warm water for bathing is ready."
Yuzhu maintained the habit of bathing first in the morning and eating later for many years.
Under Lin Yan'er's service, Yuzhu took a beautiful mandarin duck bath and then changed into a dry half-sleeved silk gown.
At this time, the breakfast brought from the inner dining room was placed on the dining table.
Yuzhu looked at the Cantonese-style breakfast on the dining table and asked Lin Yaner in surprise: "How did it come here?"
Lin Yan'er put down the silver chopsticks in her hand, knelt down and said, "Come back to me, this is what Master Shiba ordered. He said he likes it and you like it too, so he called the people in the dining room to tell you."
Prepared a copy."
Yuzhu nodded slightly, his pain for Lao Shiba was not in vain!
Lao Shiba actually doesn't like to eat Cantonese-style breakfast. This is obviously to take care of Yuzhu's eating habits, so he deliberately ordered someone to arrange it under false pretenses.
Even if Yuzhu is the general manager of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, he cannot manage the inner dining room that specifically serves the emperor himself.
Yongbeizi Mansion has been fully completed.
However, before Kangxi issued an edict to officially get married, Lao Shiba continued to live with Kangxi in Changchun Garden.
The residence of the princes is not in the garden, but in the West Garden outside Changchun Garden.
The West Garden to the west of Changchun Garden is also known as the Fourth Prince's Garden.
After Kangxi moved into Changchun Garden, Yinreng stayed in the Forbidden City, and the fourth son also went on errands in the capital.
Among the princes accompanying this time, the third, fifth, tenth and eighteenth princes all live near the Tuoyuan Bookstore in the West Garden.
When he was not on duty, Yuzhu was too lazy to hang out in front of Kangxi. He was about to take the two women out to go shopping when Kangxi called him.
"Let's go and have a look at Yongbeizi Mansion." Kangxi was excited to see his son's new home.
When Yuzhu saw Lao Shiba winking at him, he knew in his heart that it must be the old emperor who Lao Shiba was secretly plotting.
When we came to Changchun Garden, we walked very slowly on the road. That was because there were so many people accompanying us.
On the way back to the inner city, there were only five carriages, and the speed was several times faster than when they came.
After entering Yongbeizi's mansion, Kangxi looked at it very carefully and touched it wherever he went.
Kangxi's love for his son requires no further nonsense.
However, what Yuzhu didn't expect was that after Kangxi finished watching Beizi Mansion, he suddenly lowered his face and asked Yuzhu coldly: "Did you really only spend two hundred thousand taels of silver?"
Right under Kangxi's nose, Yuzhu did not dare to look at Lao Shiba, so he had to bite the bullet and said: "If I go back to the emperor, I only spent 189,000 taels of silver. Moreover, every tael spent
All money can be traced back to the bottom."
"Well, you are very good. I can see that you have been very careful in running errands for Lao Shiba. However, some people are not so good. Their consciences have been eaten by dogs." Kangxi's face darkened, and his mood changed.
It was extremely bad.
How can I put it, I am afraid of comparison in everything!
With Kangxi's extensive knowledge, he could naturally see that the Yongbeizi Mansion built under the supervision of Yuzhu only cost less than 190,000 taels of silver, but it actually achieved the effect of Changchun Garden, which cost 800,000 taels of silver.
.
Moreover, the quality of Yongbeizi Mansion’s projects is exceptionally solid.
Just now, Kangxi deliberately squatted on the path in the back garden and used his hands to pick up the pebbles on the ground, but he couldn't pick them up at all.
Based on Kangxi's experience, the more inconspicuous the place, the more you can see the quality of the project.
There is no other way, I can only say that the minions of the Ministry of Internal Affairs who built Changchun Garden are too courageous, have a dark conscience, and are too ruthless!
"Yuzhu, how did you do it?" Kangxi turned to ask Yuzhu with a gloomy face.
Yuzhu had nothing to hide, so he instilled in Kangxi a system of job responsibility that defined posts and responsibilities, and fully implemented people's duties.
Kangxi understood it as soon as he heard it, and nodded frequently and said: "Look, you are much more sophisticated than the engineering veterans. This system is very good. Well, I will leave it to you to preside over the small election in the palace."
"
Unexpectedly, Yuzhu was not willing to get involved in the election. He said with a grimace: "It's too hot. I'm sweating even if I sit still. I'd better stay in your Qingxi Bookstore."
Here, living next to the iceberg is more comfortable."
Kangxi was really stunned, he had never seen such a lazy and shameless person like Yuzhu!
"There are many beautiful women in the Three Banners of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. If you like one, please stay by your side and wait for her, okay?" Kangxi deliberately seduced her.
Yuzhu is afraid of the heat and wants to give up his career. This is the normal behavior of the nobles under his banner and is indolent and indolent. It is not surprising at all.
Kangxi himself felt that the weather was too hot. After Yuzhu presided over the election, he repeatedly traveled between the palace and Changchun Garden, and there was indeed a possibility of heat stroke.
As for the women in the Three Banners of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, they are all the emperor's slaves.
Kangxi didn't regard them as human beings at all, and made the promise casually.
Yuzhu is so clever. He understood Kang Mazi's promise as soon as he heard it.
Why do you want to reward him with a beautiful woman?
Kangxi's intention was clearly to let Yuzhu carefully select the beautiful women and present them to the Lord for his enjoyment.
When serving at the emperor's side, if one cannot figure out the emperor's intentions, the favor will go as quickly as it comes!
Yuzhu also understood that the emperor had made up his mind to make him responsible for the small election.
However, Yuzhu continued to make conditions with Kangxi as usual.
"Back to the emperor, I have a lot of inconveniences living in the garden. Why don't you just give me a small house outside the garden?"
All along, Yuzhu has been secretly trying to make Kangxi get used to his bargaining!
The royal family had a lot of land and many mansions.
Yuzhu's small request was a piece of cake for Kangxi.
Kangxi frowned and looked up at the cloudless sky. After thinking for a while, he said: "Since you think the garden is too restrictive, let me reward you with Hongya Garden. Well, originally I planned to reward you with
Prince Jian Yarjiang, if you can teach me, you should be satisfied, right?"
What he said was quite a bit like trying to coax the children at home!
Yuzhu always came to Kangxi in various ways to ask for rewards, which made the old emperor feel both headache and happy.
Let's just say that this Hongya Garden is a royal garden. No matter how much money you spend, you can't buy it.
The older this person gets, the more he worries about being useless to the younger generation.
Yuzhu knew how to make money and run errands, and his cooperation with Kangxi was extremely tacit.
The only fly in the ointment was that Yuzhu had the greedy nature of a goose plucking his feathers. As long as he had his eye on something good, he wanted it from Kangxi.
After coming out of Yongbeizi Mansion, Kangxi made an excuse for Lao Shiba and sent him away.
Kangxi, who was familiar with the family and the roads, took Yuzhu to the most famous theater in the outer city, Nanyong Garden.
On the way, Kangxi told Yuzhu that he loved listening to Kunqu Opera's "Interview with Pu on a Snowy Night" the most.
Kun Opera is actually a term that only emerged in modern times.
In Sijiu City during the Kangxi Dynasty, both in the palace and among the people, Kun Opera was called Kunqiang.
However, what Yuzhu didn't expect was that after Kangxi finished listening to the play, he actually took Yuzhu to the noodle shop next door and ordered two bowls of cold noodles, one for him and Yuzhu.
"Of all the cold noodles in Mansijiu City, their sesame sauce has the most authentic taste, and the cucumbers are cut into the most even shreds. What's especially rare is the Sichuan peppercorn soy sauce braised noodles, which is one of the best." Kangxi was eating the noodles.
, while educating Yuzhu, he looked like an idle glutton under his banner.
Yuzhu secretly laughed. It was obvious that the old emperor had been a habitual offender for sneaking out of the palace for a walk.
On the way back to Changchun Garden, Kangxi got off the car again and stood in front of a cart selling barbecue on the roadside, eating barbecue with relish.
Yuzhu heard it very clearly. The roast beef stall owner shouted loudly while grilling meat: "Wan's Zhizi roast beef, the more you eat, the more you want to eat it!"
The so-called Zhizi BBQ, to put it bluntly, is teppanyaki.
Under the broiler, use fruit charcoal or charcoal to make a fire. The stall owner cuts the beef into thin slices in advance, then simmers it with onions, ginger and sauce until the flavor is good, then puts it on the broiler and grills it with long chopsticks.
After a while, the surroundings of the barbecue stall are filled with the aroma of grilled meat. This overflowing aroma alone can whet one's appetite.
To be honest, Yuzhu actually admired Kangxi.
The old emperor was famously afraid of heat. However, when he was standing on the street eating barbecue, he was obviously sweating through his silk shirt, but he didn't care at all.
Liang Jiugong on the side did not look at Kangxi, but kept staring at Yuzhu.
Long live the Lord, regardless of his image as the supreme being in the world, he took Yuzhu with him and stood on the street eating barbecue.
Under this situation, what else does Liang Jiugong not understand? It is obvious that Yuzhu has a very important weight in Long Live Lord's heart.
After returning to Changchun Garden, Yuzhu wrote a memorial overnight and delivered it to Qingxi Bookstore while he was on duty in the garden.
When Kangxi saw the jade column, he couldn't help but feel delighted, and he immediately marked it with a beautiful word "ke" with a red pen.
In fact, Yuzhu just took the emperor's words that were difficult to say and used his own words to formulate an excuse.
In the booklet, Yuzhu took the initiative to propose that this year's election be held in Changchun Garden.
This was exactly what Kangxi wanted. How could the old emperor not allow it?
The decree was given that Yuzhu would preside over this year's election. Yuzhu naturally did not dare to live up to the old emperor's expectations and racked his brains to come up with new tricks.
Yuzhu thought about it for several days and finally came up with a clever idea.
In previous years' small selection process, you can choose whatever you want, and Yuzhu has not changed it.
However, during the re-selection, Yuzhu played a trick and arranged the three most beautiful women with the best figures specially selected to go on a cruise ship in Houhu Lake.
However, when the boat just left the shore, the eunuch holding the pole accidentally capsized the boat.
The three women fell into the water like dumplings.
According to Yuzhu's on-the-spot investigation, the water in Houhu is only waist-deep at its deepest point, and cannot drown anyone at all.
After they all fell into the water and were rescued by the eunuchs, they naturally had to change their clothes.
At this time, the aunt in the palace who had been arranged by Yuzhu in advance made her official appearance.
Behind the curtain, the aunts from the palace led the beauties who put on special bellybands to cover their shame and covered themselves with gauze to stand in a row.
The looming three pairs of long white jade legs made Kangxi dizzy and lost control on the spot!
(PS: I was so tired during the day that I took a nap before getting up and coding this update. Is it not too much to ask for a few monthly tickets?)
