From Xiaoji Town Haidian to Xiangshan, there are more than 90 royal palaces, imperial gardens and gift gardens, including Hongya Garden, Chenghuai Garden, Zide Garden, Hanfang Garden, Mergen Garden, Prince Cheng Garden, Prince Kang Garden, and Prince Li Garden.
garden.
These gardens and the "Changchun Garden" complement each other and complement each other. They stretch for more than 20 miles and are spectacular.
Among so many royal and clan gardens, Hongya Garden, which was given to Yuzhu by Emperor Kangxi, is the only garden given by foreign ministers. It can be said to be a special honor!
Hongya Garden is much more comfortable to live in than Jiangnan Bamboo Garden in Qingxi Bookstore.
However, Yuzhu had just moved in the morning, and someone came to visit in the afternoon.
Yuzhu went to the gate in person and invited Lao Twelve into the inner study.
After Lao Twelve sat down, he took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "With your wisdom, you must have guessed my intention, right?"
Yuzhu smiled slightly, he had been taking care of a big thing recently, and Lao Twelve must have come here for the re-election of the minor election.
"Hey, you're here in person, how can I not give you face?" Yuzhu deliberately didn't say it clearly.
Lao Twelve laughed and said: "Young Qing, you are indeed a wonderful person, and you talk happily. There are not many, there is only one who needs your care."
Yuzhu smiled but said nothing, waiting for Lao Twelve to say more.
According to what Lao Twelve said, the woman who needed to be taken care of was the handkerchief of his side brother Fang Jia from Jin Dynasty.
Yuzhu knew well that because Ma Qi did not support his father-in-law, the relationship between his father-in-law and his son-in-law was actually extremely distant.
Furthermore, the relationship between Lao Twelve and the Fucha family of Fujin Province was not very good.
The Fang Jia family of Jin Dynasty is the most favored woman of Lao Twelve.
Since Lao Twelve came to speak in person, and it was not a big deal, I had to give him this face.
After drinking half a cup of tea, Lao Twelve asked to go for a stroll in the garden, and Yuzhu accompanied Lao Twelve and sat in the pavilion in the middle of the lake.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the two of them sat down, Lao Shiba came.
Lao Shiba was Yuzhu's direct sister-in-law. When he came to Yuzhu's place, he didn't need to report and went straight into the Huxin Pavilion.
After greeting each other and sitting down again, Lao Shiba said with a smile: "That's great. If I want to hide away in the future, I'll come to your place."
Yuzhu knew in his heart that Kangxi had just acquired three beauties, so he no longer cared about staring at Lao Ba. Lao Ba just happened to slip out to relax and get some fresh air.
There is no conflict of interest between Lao Twelve and Lao Eighteen, and they are both on good terms with Yuzhu. Naturally, the atmosphere of chatting in the Huxin Pavilion cannot be bad.
When it was time for lunch, the three of them were drinking. The porter brought an invitation from Cao Yi, saying that Nersu, the king of Pingjun, invited him to enjoy the peach blossoms.
Yuzhu didn't read the invitation at all. He waved his hand and told the porter: "From now on, you will not accept any invitations from Pingjun Prince's Palace and return them directly."
"Hey." The concierge withdrew with understanding.
Lao Shiba knew the inside story better and said with a smile: "According to me, this Nersu is not very genuine. He doesn't get close to such a good brother-in-law like you. Instead, he has close friendship with unrelated people."
Lao Twelve has been keeping an eye on the court situation, and naturally he knows very well that Lao Ba is referring to the fact that Nersu has been following Lao Fourteen, acting as a little follower.
"Hey, everyone has their own ambitions, you can't force it." Lao Twelve couldn't help but sigh, which actually made Lao Eighteen laugh.
Lao Shiba drank a glass of wine and said with a smile: "If you don't make friends with my eldest brother, it will be a huge loss for him Nersu."
Hey, these words are so beautiful that even Yuzhu, who has been tried for many years by flattery, can't help but feel a little fuzzy.
Lao Twelve and Yu Zhu had also known each other for a long time, and their relationship was different from that of ordinary people. He put down the chopsticks in his hand and sighed: "I have never seen anyone stupider than Nersu."
Understand the relationship between people, and easily ignore other people's rights and wrongs, just stop talking.
Lao Twelve was going back to Beizi Mansion in the inner city. After having lunch, he sat for a while and then left early.
After Lao Twelve left, what Ling Yuzhu didn't expect was that Lao Ba also had a little girl who needed to be taken care of.
"Brother, you are staring at me like this, as if you want to eat someone. Oh, how old am I?" Lao Ba was so frightened by Yuzhu's gaze that he waved his hands and explained.
In fact, Yuzhu deliberately made excuses to scare Lao Shiba. Of course he knew that Lao Shiba's hair had not grown yet, and it was far from the time to bully women.
"I'm telling you, in the future you will only be allowed to have concubines at most, do you understand?" Yuzhu took this opportunity and simply put a halter on Lao Shiba.
As the prince's elder brother, after getting married, if there is no concubine by his side, it is indeed easy for others to laugh at him.
As for the side Fujin and the concubine Fujin, with the great favor of Lao Shiba, it is completely possible to do it or not. It depends on whether he wants to or not.
For example, Lao Jiu and Lao Ten only have their direct descendants and concubines, and there is no trace of Fu Jin or concubine Fu Jin in the mansion.
Yuzhu, his brother, should fight for Yuyan's rights and interests.
Lao Shiba also understood in his heart that Fu Jin was too great a threat to his legitimate sister, so it was natural for Yu Zhu to help his sister speak in advance.
"Brother, don't worry, no one can threaten your nephew's throne." Lao Shiba was a sensible person, and as soon as he said these words, Yuzhu smiled with satisfaction.
As dusk approached, Yuzhu was planning to have dinner when he suddenly received a message from Bo Elundai in the lobby, asking him to go to another duke's palace in Lao Tong's house tomorrow for a drink and to discuss matters.
In the old Tong family, apart from Tong Guowei's descendants, Elundai was the overlord of another palace.
Brothers who have watched Dream of Red Mansions should understand that Elundai is equivalent to the status of Jia Zhen, the head of the Ningguo Mansion.
However, Elundai's power and status are not comparable to that of the playboy Jia Zhen.
Today's Elundai is the most famous and the most arrogant in the entire Tong Jia family.
To put it simply, Elundai dared to openly contradict Kangxi in front of important ministers more than once. He was already the most outstanding person in the Qing Dynasty.
When the lobby boss recruits someone, Yuzhu must give face.
On the second day, Yuzhu happened to be off duty, so he took a bus to Tongfu Hutong.
The two ducal mansions of the old Tong family were located side by side, so Yuzhu first went to visit Tong Guowei, who was taking care of himself at home.
Tong Guowei played with the snuff bottle given by Yuzhu and was particularly happy. He stroked his beard and said with a smile: "I still need a pure gold crutch here. Remember to bring it when you come next time."
Yuzhu smiled slightly, saluted quickly and said, "Didn't you leave behind a golden staff when you came over to have a wedding banquet last time? Your grandson will bring it back for you when the time comes."
When Tong Guowei heard this, he felt very happy and praised: "I know that you are a hundred times more filial than your mother. Well, Mafa's love for you is not in vain."
They are all old foxes who have become spirits. Who doesn’t know who is who?
Tong Guowei was not polite at all when he asked Yuzhu for things. This is how he really treated him as his own grandson.
Now, what else is unclear about the situation of Lao Tong's family?
It was already extremely clear.
With the support of his two ama, Yuzhu was favored by the emperor and a powerful internal manager.
No matter what Tong Guowei thought, he could only hold his nose and admit it.
No matter what, Yuzhu is Tong Guowei's grandson. Blood is thicker than water, breaking the relationship between bones and tendons.
After bidding farewell to Tong Guowei, Yuzhu went to the Duke's Mansion next door to pay homage to Elundai.
Tong Guogang, Tong Guowei and Kangxi's biological mother, Empress Xiao Kangzhang, are three direct siblings of the same mother.
In the Ningguofu of the old Tong family, Tong Guogang had three sons, the eldest son Erundai, the second son Fahai and the third son Kuadai.
The arrogant Elundai often insulted Fahai's biological mother in public as a slave, and had a lot of trouble with Fahai.
In addition, after Fahai's biological mother died of illness, Elundai actually refused to allow her to be buried in the ancestral grave.
At this time, Fa Hai and Elundai completely fell out and never interacted with each other ever since.
This was Yuzhu's first visit to E's Mansion. In line with the principle that he must bring gifts when he visits for the first time, he specially brought half a car's worth of gifts.
After Wu Jiang handed Yuzhu's name card to the E Mansion, the chief steward of the E Mansion concierge immediately came out and asked him to kneel down and pay his respects.
"Little E Jiu, I would like to say hello to Mr. Yu Er. Our old master has given orders early this morning. As long as Mr. Yu Er comes, please come directly to the upper room to serve tea." E Jiu's tongue was unusually sharp.
In one breath, Elundai's thoughts on treating Yuzhu preferentially were explained clearly.
"Get up. Come here, reward him heavily." Yuzhu arrived at the door of his uncle's house. Not only did he not show off, but he rewarded him as soon as he saw him.
Today, Wu Sheng, Liu Wu and others came to Hubei Province, Wujiang, each carrying a cloth bag filled with five taels and one ingot of silver ingots.
From the moment they entered Hubei Province, Wu Jiang and others rewarded everyone with five taels of silver ingots, which they carried all the way into the upper room of the main courtyard.
The king of hell is easy to meet, but the devil is difficult to deal with.
Yuzhu didn't want to get close to the unreliable Elundai, but he also didn't want to offend a mad dog like Elundai.
Just because this mad dog is Yuzhu's uncle.
Needless to say, the blood relationship between Elundai and Yuzhu is definitely not beyond the five realms.
According to the patrilineal blood relationship of this era, relatives who are no more than five generations old are considered serious relatives.
"Hey, brother, you really appreciate my brother and me. As soon as I entered the door, I was bleeding profusely. Okay, great. You are ten thousand times better than Long Laosan, the money-grubbing guy who regards money as his life."
Elundai talked nonsense, but his attitude in receiving Yuzhu was very upright.
With the dignity of a first-class uncle, he not only greeted him at the lower level, but also called Yuzhu brother and sister, which gave him enough face.
"My nephew Yuzhu, please greet me from the lobby." Yuzhu was about to kowtow. Unexpectedly, before his knees even hit the ground, he was roughly pulled up by Elundai.
"We all have our own business. I don't care about red tape here. Come on, I'll take you to see what's new and let you know what Bailing Thirteen Sets are." Erundai couldn't help but pull Yuzhu, and they arrived.
Under the corridor of the upper room.
Right under Yuzhu's nose, Elundai took a small wooden stick and teased the lark in the cage, letting it learn all thirteen sets of calls.
Elundai saw Yuzhu's surprised expression and couldn't help but proudly introduced: "The 'calling' of Bai Ling requires a 'Thirteen Sets', that is, Bai Ling must learn 13 different rhythms of calls. Listen, this is
Sparrows are noisy in the forest, this is the magpie welcoming the spring, this is the whisper of barn swallows...hens are nesting in their nests, imitating cats, dogs, and orioles, the sound of axles, the roar of eagles, the cry of grasshoppers, and the cry of oil gourds.
The sound of a small whistle bell, the squeaking red call. To tell you the truth, this lark comes from the king's tent in the desert grassland. It imitates the sounds of other animals so vividly and intoxicatingly..."
