After hearing the cry of the lark, Elundai led Yuzhu into the upper room.
Orundai gave up his seat, but Yuzhu didn't want to be rude and preferred to stand and talk.
"I tell you to sit down, so you sit down. The elders give it to you, and you can't refuse. Do you understand?" Elundai was never a man of rules, so he pressed the jade pillar and sat on the kang.
After tea and cakes were served, Elundai said with a smile: "Brother, uncle, I have encountered a problem, and only you can help me."
Yuzhu pretended not to hear Elundai's nonsense, but secretly became more vigilant.
When you treat others with courtesy, you must have a plan.
After Elundai told the story, Yuzhu saw another side of him.
How should I put it, after Orundai's beloved concubine died, he never took another concubine. However, a few days ago, he met a woman by chance, who actually looked like his deceased beloved concubine.
Orundai sent someone to follow the woman at her home, and after careful inquiry, she found out that she was from Shangsanqi Baoyi and had just turned thirteen years old.
After reaching the age of 13, the women who go to the Three Banners to wrap up their clothes must participate in a small election hosted by the Ministry of Internal Affairs every year.
Choosing palace maids is different from drafting maidens.
A talent show girl is to serve the emperor on his pillow, so a slightly older age would be more appropriate. Therefore, the minimum age for a talent show girl to participate in the draft is set in the regulations, and she must be at least fourteen years old.
When choosing a palace maid, the palace ladies must learn the rules, dress and grade as soon as they enter the palace, which requires a lot of time to teach.
Generally speaking, the younger the palace maid is, the faster she will learn the rules.
After the palace maids complete their studies and become apprentices, they will follow their aunts or nuns to do menial work, chores and tiring work.
It's just that Kangxi was famous for his love of choosing beauties to accompany his emperor from the three flags.
To put it bluntly, no matter how badass Elundai was, he would not dare to openly compete with Kangxi for a woman.
It just so happened that Yuzhu was not only the director of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but also responsible for the election. Elundai wanted him to do something secretly and take away the woman's name.
As long as the woman was abandoned, Erundai, a first-class duke and minister of bodyguards, could legitimately take her as his concubine.
Yuzhu was a subtle person. He did not immediately agree to Elundai's request. Instead, he first asked about the woman's flag and surname.
After Elundai explained everything in detail, Yuzhu already felt confident.
As long as they are not the three who fell into the lake, it is only a matter of Yuzhu's words for the other wrapped women, whether they put down the sign or leave the sign.
However, due to the sophistication of favors these days, if Yuzhu had easily helped Elundai, it would have been impossible for Elundai to accept his favor.
Therefore, Yuzhu pretended to have a sad face and looked very embarrassed. He just wanted to wait for Elundai to open up the conditions and draw a lot of blood.
Things that are too easy to obtain are almost never cherished. This is determined by human nature and is not subject to anyone's will!
Elundai also knew that this matter was not easy, so he generously shed blood.
"With these three thousand taels of silver, you first use it to kill the hungry wolves in the palace." Elundai took out a silver note from his sleeve and slowly pushed it in front of Yuzhu.
Yuzhu did not touch the banknote, but looked very embarrassed and said: "Uncle, this is not easy to handle."
Orundai also knew that such a small amount of money was simply not enough.
He gritted his teeth and said, "I have two babies that I have raised since childhood. They are indeed little beauties. I will give them to you."
Yuzhu also saw that Elundai was really in pain and couldn't bear to leave him.
There is never a shortage of women around Yuzhu.
Besides, biting off more than one can chew, having too many women is also a nuisance.
"That's it, uncle, I will handle your old man's affairs with all my heart." Yuzhu did not look at the banknote at all, but said sincerely, "I will try to handle your nephew first. As for your nephew, I will try to handle it first."
, whether it can be done or not, all depends on her luck. If, your nephew, I am lucky enough to do it, and there are indeed some necessary management expenses, then I will ask you for money, what do you think?"
Orundai was completely stunned. He had been in the palace for so many years and had a bad reputation. He had never seen anyone willing to help him advance money. This was a rare thing.
"Good boy, you are a hundred thousand times better than Long Laosan, who is trying to steal goods." Chief Elundai exhaled, and said word by word, "Good brother, if you don't say secret words in front of people, I
I owe you a big favor. No matter when or what happens, as long as I can help you, just say it. If I, the boss of Hubei, blink my eyes, I will let 'Tenggri' take my soul.
, and will never be allowed to enter the ancestral graves."
Tengger, the highest god in Banner Shamanism.
Orundai swears by Tengri and his ancestral graves, and his sincerity is enough!
After coming out of Elundai's place, Yuzhu simply returned to Long Mansion, since he would still not be on duty tomorrow anyway.
When Xiuyun heard that the man was back, he quickly put down the account book in his hand and went out to greet him.
Yuzhu held Eighty-nine in his left hand and held Xiaoxuanyu in his right hand, and walked towards Xiuyun with a smile.
"Master, you are coming back, why didn't you send someone to tell me beforehand?" Xiuyun complained a few times before she had time to prepare the men's favorite dishes.
Yuzhuhun said nonchalantly: "I came back because I want to eat fairy peaches, nothing else matters."
Xiuyun's cheeks turned red immediately, she spat softly, her eyes flickered, and she didn't dare to look at the man anymore.
Eighty-nine relied on the jade pillar to pet him, so he took out his little hand that was in his mouth and said innocently: "Brother, I also want to eat fairy peaches!"
All of a sudden, Xiuyun was like a steamed lobster, and her exposed pink neck turned red and purple.
Xiuyun couldn't stand it any longer and ran away!
Yuzhu triumphantly kissed Bajiu's little face, and said happily: "The fairy peach that belongs to me has been eaten by me. When you get married in the future, you can eat your own fairy peach."
In the evening, the story Yuzhu and Xiantao had to tell is not enough for outsiders to tell!
Before the re-selection of women in the upper three banners officially started, under Yuzhu's ingenious arrangement, Kangxi had already tasted the freshness first.
However, for a serious re-election, the necessary procedures must be completed thoroughly.
According to the decree, the official second round of the small election was scheduled in front of Ruijingxuan in Changchun Garden.
The reason is actually very simple. There are as many as 400 women who participated in the re-election. In the entire Changchun Garden, only in front of Ruijingxuan has such a large open space that can accommodate them all.
Yuzhu is an old bureaucrat, so he naturally understands that it is impossible to do everything by himself.
It's still the same old rule, from the second physical examination to the personal inspection, all the processes are assigned to specialized people to take charge.
Whether it is in the officialdom or in Changchun Garden, only when people are assigned positions and responsibilities are implemented, everyone will not dare to be careless.
In layman's terms, this is a grid-based standardized management model. It is not complicated, but it is very effective.
On the day of the official election, the open space in front of Ruijingxuan was filled with eunuchs and maids wearing uniform but different colors.
This is Yuzhu's clever arrangement.
For example, the nuns in charge of the second body examination all wore dark brown vests. The aunts in front of Yuzhu all wore dark green skirts.
The eunuchs and maids in the palace are not allowed to wear too bright clothes, so as not to take away the glory of the master and the ladies in charge.
According to the process, Yuzhu, wearing official uniform and sitting behind the desk, is the last and most important level.
After all, it must be the manager of Yuda who decides whether to abandon the brand or keep it.
Following Yuzhu's order, the eunuch in charge of the roll call shouted loudly: "Under the first counselor and first assistant leader of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, inlaid with yellow flags, the seventh-grade pen-posted Zhang Jia of Fengchen Academy is the direct descendant of Sheng Qi.
The eldest daughter, Zhang Jia..."
The women whose names were called had to enter a tightly packed tent, take off their clothes, lie down on the couch, and undergo another physical examination by the nuns.
In fact, at the beginning of the primary election, these women in disguise were all tested.
However, there was another ten days between the primary election and the second election.
In order to ensure that all the women entering the palace were pure, a second body examination was inevitable.
Of course, the rules are just restrictions for ordinary people.
The three women who had been betrayed by Kangxi also came today and mixed in with the team.
However, Yuzhu had arranged a separate physical examination in advance.
After these three women entered the tent, they only had to pretend that they had passed the test chastely.
The main reason for doing this was that Kangxi wanted to steal the money in advance, but also did not want to be accused of being greedy.
Since the emperor has needs, Yuzhu, the chief internal officer, naturally has to find ways to help him achieve dignity.
Women from all walks of life who need Yuzhu's care have already opened their orders and stuffed them into his sleeves.
All in all, as long as you pass the physical examination, other things will have already been arranged.
However, the plan did not change quickly.
Before Yuzhu started putting down his sign, Kangxi, holding a folding fan in his hand, led Wei Zhu over.
The emperor actually came in person, and the atmosphere at the scene immediately became tense.
Kangxi sat on Yuzhu's seat, gently waving his folding fan, and asked Yuzhu with a smile: "Are you all ready?"
Yuzhu bowed his waist and said with a smile: "Back to the emperor, it seems that the general situation is still controllable, but I am afraid that something will happen temporarily."
Kangxi smiled slightly, held a folding fan, pointed at Yuzhu's nose, and cursed: "You little monkey, you are most afraid of taking responsibility, and you never say anything to death."
Yuzhu saw that Kangxi was in a good mood, so he said with a playful smile: "Originally, I was a little worried, but now I am not afraid anymore."
Kangxi was in a very good mood. He knew what was going on, but deliberately asked Yuzhu in a funny way: "Why are you not afraid anymore?"
"There are nine heavenly dragons sitting there, which are enough to drive away all evil spirits and heretics."
Yuzhu's words made Kangxi laugh dumbly, and gave him a brocade stool.
In front of so many people, Yuzhu actually had a seat in front of the emperor. This is an incredible honor!
Almost in an instant, the aunts, aunts, eunuchs and maids present all understood one thing: Chief Jade, in front of the emperor, was really blushing!
Unexpectedly, as soon as Yuzhu's buttocks touched the brocade stool, he suddenly heard a noise.
"You bitch, you have eaten the heart of a bear and the courage of a leopard..."
