After Xiuyun got the news, he ordered people to notify Longkoduo and Yuzhu, and went to the Chuihua Gate in person to wait to greet the emperor's old son.
Manchu banner people always call their youngest son their oldest son.
Xiuyun had just stood in front of Chuihua Gate for half a quarter of an hour when Old Twenty's carriage had already arrived in front of the mansion.
The servants of Long Mansion had already removed the threshold strip of the middle gate, and Old Twenty's carriage drove straight to the Chuihua Gate.
"My concubine, Mrs. Fucha, pays homage to Master Twenty. I wish you good luck and good health to Master Twenty." Xiuyun hurriedly knelt down and saluted as soon as she saw Lao Twenty.
"I don't dare to accept it, I don't dare to accept it." The old man not only politely avoided Xiuyun's salute, but also cupped his hands and said with a smile, "You are Xuanyu's biological brother, and Xuanyu is my Anda."
, in terms of the old etiquette of us Manchus, you can be regarded as my aunt."
Lao Twenty is the one in a higher position. He can deliberately show his close relationship, but Xiuyun does not dare to be careless about etiquette.
Xiuyun knew that from a man's perspective, Old Twenty was actually the same generation as Yuzhu.
Then, Xuanyu should be Lao Twenty's distant cousin.
The relationship between the old Tong family and the royal family is complicated and chaotic.
Counting from Kangxi's biological mother, Empress Xiao Kangzhang, the Tong family is Kangxi's maternal clan.
If we count from the fourth child's adoptive mother, Queen Xiaoyi, who is also Yuzhu's biological aunt, the Tong family belongs to the descendant clan.
However, no matter how they talk about their relationship, Xiao Xuanyu and Lao Twenty are different in terms of seniority.
"Enie, Mr. Twenty has a bold personality and is not an ordinary person. With your son and me, I can just play with Mr. Twenty." Xiao Xuanyu and Lao Twenty got along very well, to the point where they were informal in private.
"Yes, yes, there are too many etiquettes and it's causing trouble." Old Twenty also spoke for Xiao Xuanyu.
When children are together, as long as they like each other, their relationship will become more intense with each passing day.
Xiuyun thought, she was from a womanly family, and if she continued to stay with the children, it would be embarrassing for both of them, so she might as well go back first.
After Xiuyun left, Xiaoxuanyu led Lao Twenty to his small yard.
In Long Mansion, Long Keduo and Li Si'er have been living in the main room of the main courtyard.
Xiao Xuanyu is the eldest grandson of this family and Xiuyun's biological son, so Xiuyun naturally takes him very seriously.
Therefore, there is only a moon gate between Xiao Xuanyu's small courtyard and her parents' courtyard.
Lao Twenty entered Xiao Xuanyu's yard. He was so happy that he was sweating profusely from playing.
As soon as Xiuyun sat back in the main room, she heard Liu Wu, who had been waiting closely for Xiao Xuanyu, asking for an audience outside.
Well, there must be something important.
Xiuyun was immediately alert and called Liu Wu in immediately.
"Go back to my wife, I came with Mr. Twenty, the chief eunuch of Qianqing Palace, named Liu Jinzhong." Liu Wu was indeed talking about a big event.
Although Xiuyun didn't know the details of Liu Jinzhong, she did understand what it meant to be the chief eunuch of Qianqing Palace?
"Well, come here, tell the servants in our family one by one to serve the people around Mr. Twenty. Tea, pastries, fruits, snacks and preserves must not be missing, but you must also choose the most expensive ones and bring them over. Hmm.
, tell everyone, don’t save money for me.”
Following Xiuyun's instructions, the servants of the Long Mansion adopted the method of keeping an eye on one person, treating Liu Jinzhong and the accompanying eunuchs and maids as distinguished guests, and treated them very appropriately.
Xiuyun was born into a family of a first-class Manchu general, so he was well-informed.
As the saying goes, the king of hell is easy to meet, but the devil is difficult to deal with.
In particular, the kid in Qianqing Palace is even more difficult to deal with.
That's fine with the palace maids. Under normal circumstances, they rarely leave the palace to cause trouble.
The eunuchs in the Qianqing Palace, especially the head eunuch who has a good reputation, are particularly unique.
Xiuyun did not blindly use money to reward Liu Jinzhong and others.
Because, how to give money to outsiders is obviously a man's business.
If you give too much money, you are breaking the rules and may make Wei Zhu dissatisfied.
If they were given less money, they would probably offend Liu Jinzhong and the others.
What's the matter? I just gave you a mere two taels of silver. Is this just looking at people through the crack in the door and looking down on them?
The male leads the outside and the female leads the inside.
Xiuyun only needed to get the words "feeling at home" right, which would be a great help to Yuzhu.
Longkodo didn't have much work at hand, and the government office was close to home, so he rushed back first.
Across the screen, Longkoduo couldn't help but smile after hearing Xiuyun's report.
Xiuyun, this daughter-in-law, is so reliable, she is truly a good wife!
"Well, my dear, you've done a great job. I'm going to see Master Twenty now."
Longkodo is a typical male chauvinist, especially patriarchal.
No, Xiuyun has been here for several years, and this is the first time he has received public praise from Longkodo.
Longkodo deliberately didn't change into his official uniform, so he hurried to see Old Twenty.
Li Si'er glanced at Xiuyun, who was standing with her head bowed. She seemed to be very obedient, and she couldn't help but feel sour in her heart.
Alas, my daughter-in-law is so capable, but my mother-in-law, Li Si'er, seems incompetent.
However, all the money Yuzhu took back was given to Li Si'er for management instead of giving it to Xiuyun privately.
Even if Li Si'er felt a little uncomfortable, he wouldn't take it out on Xiuyun in public.
"You have raised a good son, go ahead." Li Si'er sent Xiuyun away angrily.
After Xiuyun came out, he happened to meet Yuzhu who had just returned home.
After Yuzhu came back, he was not in a hurry to see Lao Twenty. It was enough to have Long Keduo to deal with it.
Back in the house, Yuzhu washed his face with warm water and drank a few sips of fragrant tea, and then asked Xiuyun: "Are they having fun?"
Xiuyun pursed her lips and smiled, and said, "Sir, the toys you asked people to make are too many to play with. How can they be unhappy?"
Yuzhu has no beard, otherwise he would be stroking his beard and laughing lightly.
"Well, as I told you before, in recent years, the emperor has become more and more fond of Han women and concubines." Yuzhu held a tea cup in his hand and said with a smile, "Old Twenty is the emperor's youngest son so far. Naturally, it will hurt a little more."
Obedient to the sound, Xiuyun understood it as soon as he heard it, and then smiled and said: "Master, for this reason, I don't dare to reward Liu Jinzhong and the others indiscriminately. I wait for you to come back and make the decision."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Yuzhu nodded and said: "Liu Jinzhong can be regarded as an old man next to the emperor. However, his mouth is not as sharp as others and his status has always been lower. Because of this, others
Usually they only give him two hundred taels, but we, being more generous, will give him five hundred taels."
"Yes, it all depends on me." After receiving Yuzhu's instructions, Xiuyun knew what to do.
After Yuzhu passed by, he met with Lao Twenty.
The old man was sincere and said directly: "Before coming, my mother-in-law specially told me to listen to you more, Marquis Yu, and to cause less trouble to you."
When Yuzhu heard this, he thought, OK, Lao Twenty's biological mother, Mrs. Gao, is indeed a sensible person.
The concubine Gao has never been canonized, and Kangxi specially ordered her to enjoy the treatment of a nobleman.
There are rules for the prince's brothers to address their biological mother, and it's impossible to call them random names.
For example, when the fourth child meets Concubine De, he should be addressed as "Concubine Mother" instead of "Concubine Mother" as in the joke.
It is in line with feudal etiquette to have the concubine in the front and the mother in the back.
For example, the same is true for Kangxi's Khan and Amma. The Khan is in front and Amma is behind.
Of course, sometimes, the title "Royal Father" appears occasionally.
This is a title that only existed in the middle and late Qing Dynasty, but it still puts the emperor in front and the father in the back.
As for the matter of Huang Ama, I have looked through various emperor’s records and old Manchu documents, but there is no trace of it!
Concubine Gao's father, Gao Tingxiu, was an authentic Han Chinese from Yuyao, Zhejiang Province. He was good at calligraphy, but he was not even a scholar.
Kangxi once issued a special decree, appointing Gao Tingxiu to be a Confucian scholar in the Ministry of Rites and ambassador to the Bureau of Engraving and Sealmaking, but he never came to Beijing to become an official.
To put it bluntly, Lao Twenty, the prince's elder brother, is just an empty-headed elder brother who has absolutely no influence from his mother's clan.
Yuzhu's family background is extremely prominent, needless to say.
Kangxi allowed Xiao Xuanyu to be a reading companion for Lao Twenty. To put it bluntly, he really loved his son.
Rather than letting Xiao Xuanyu get the favor of the prince, it is better to say that Kangxi wanted Yuzhu to help protect Lao Twenty in the future.
After all, no matter whether it is the third child, the fourth child, or the fourteenth child, they are not fuel-efficient lamps.
Could it be that the son is not the father? How could Kangxi still not understand the true temperament of his sons?
Yuzhu did not disturb the children's play much, but when he came out, he specially ordered to make a new pot of jasmine tea for Liu Jinzhong.
After Yuzhu left, Liu Jinzhong held the refreshing jasmine tea in his hand and was full of emotions in his heart.
Liu Jinzhong's status in the Qianqing Palace was at a lower-middle level.
The leader of the eunuch at his level often came out to deliver orders, so he looked quite intimidating.
However, Liu Jinzhong was not a particularly favored person, and he would certainly not be able to hide it from Yu Zhu, who was also the imperial minister and the director of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
However, Yuzhu actually knew that Liu Jinzhong loved to drink scented tea, so he specially ordered someone to brew a pot of high-quality jasmine tea.
People inside and outside the palace all say that Marquis Yu is a good man. When we see him today, he is sure to be so!
Okay, people respect him a foot, and he respects people a foot. Liu Jinzhong made a decision in his heart.
Even if Old Twenty makes a minor mistake while playing, there is no need to report it to the Long Live Lord.
In official matters, officials have always protected each other and deceived the superiors without hiding anything from the subordinates.
To put it bluntly, with Yuzhu's great favor, even if Liu Jinzhong wanted to secretly spread maggots, he would have to look at Liang Jiugong's deterioration before making a final conclusion.
Yuzhu returned to the inner study, and Zhou Quan put down the pen in his hand and said with a smile: "The emperor is busy planning for the future."
"Yes, the emperor is already this old, how could he not think about the future of the entire Qing Dynasty?" Even Zhou Quan and Yuzhu were guarding it, and the Kangxi Dynasty had a solid foundation of sixty-one years.
The more confidential the matter, the more important it is to keep one's mouth shut and keep it secret.
You must know that if you are not secretive, you will lose your virginity. This is by no means an empty talk.
Old Twenty was at Yuzhu's house and he didn't want to leave.
However, after all, Old Twenty had little strength and confidence. He could not withstand Liu Jinzhong's repeated urgings and requests, and even led the eunuchs and maids to kneel down and cry in begging, so he had no choice but to agree to return to the palace.
Without saying a word, Yuzhu personally led Xiao Xuanyu and escorted Lao Twenty to the front of Shenwu Gate.
Liu Jinzhong nodded secretly. If Yuzhu didn't come to deliver it in person, it would be a grave sin of disrespecting the prince's elder brother when the time comes.
Accompanying you is like accompanying a tiger, all hidden in such inconspicuous little details.
