Qingtai's promotion banquet was held with flowing water banquets for three days.
All the dignitaries and dignitaries in the capital came when they were due.
However, Yuezhu's eldest brother Yue Xing'a has never come, which is really suspicious.
No matter how you say it, Qingtai can be regarded as Yue Xing'a's eighth uncle. When his eighth uncle was promoted, and his nephew didn't come to congratulate him, did he want to break off the relationship?
The more Yuzhu thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong, so he sent someone to report it privately to Tong Guowei.
Three days later, news came out from the Duke's Palace of the old Tong family that Yuzhu's aunt, Xiao Hesheli, had a bad stomach and died of a sudden illness.
When his aunt died, Yuzhu quickly took off the red tassel on his head, took off his official uniform, put on hemp clothes, and hurried back.
What happened to Ding You is no small matter.
Yuzhu immediately went to Zhezi and asked to go home and observe the rules.
After Kangxi learned the news, he immediately approved the plan and allowed Yuzhu to stay at home in plain clothes for three months, rewarded him with five thousand taels of silver, and ordered Lao Twelve to take full charge of the Tong family's funeral.
This is the purpose of "capturing love".
Unlike the Han ministers, Ding Muyou's Manchu ministers only had to stay at home in uniform for one month.
After all, Yuzhu is the first Manchurian champion after the joint examination, and must set an example for Shilin. Therefore, he cannot go out for three months.
According to the unspoken rules in the officialdom, Yuzhu must present the fold three times to ask Ding You to abide by the rules, in order to be considered in compliance with etiquette and rules.
When the aunt's mother dies, it is logical that Yue Xing'a, Yuzhu and Bajiu should wear sackcloth and mourn in front of the spirit.
When Lao Twelve rushed to Lao Tong's house, he only saw Yuzhu and the young Bajiu, but no trace of Yue Xing'a.
"Where's Yue Xing?" Lao Twelve frowned and asked Yu Zhu in a low voice.
Yuzhu shook his head and said with a confused expression: "We sent people all over the streets to look for him, but we haven't seen him anywhere."
Lao Twelve looked carefully. There were obvious tears on Yuzhu's face, and his eyes were swollen from crying. He was really sad.
Well, Lao Twelve nodded secretly. Yu Xingqing should remember what he said. When she really couldn't cry anymore, she would hide a piece of old ginger in her sleeve, specifically to induce tears.
Due to the fact that their aunt was imprisoned in the family temple, Yue Xing'a and Yuzhu had completely broken up.
All the dignitaries in the capital knew the reason, and secretly spread Longkodo's gossip: spoiling concubines destroys wives.
Lao Twelve was relatively close to Yuzhu, so he naturally knew that Yuzhu and Yue Xing'a had long been mortal enemies.
After the edict was issued, Lao Twelve was invited into the back of the mourning hall by Yuzhu.
However, what is very troublesome is that there is an endless stream of distinguished guests coming to pay homage.
Before Lao Twelve and Yuzhu could say a few words, they heard a call at the door. The former Chahar manager, Fucha Li Rongbao, was here.
Li Rongbao was very unknown in history.
However, his son, daughter and grandchildren are all well-known celebrities.
Fukangan, whom even He Zhongtang did not dare to offend easily, was Li Rongbao's grandson.
Qianlong's Yuan Dynasty queen Fucha was Li Rongbao's daughter.
In unofficial history, the famous cuckold king Fu Heng was Li Rongbao’s youngest son.
In the entire Qianlong Dynasty, the most glorious family was none other than the Fucha family!
It is no exaggeration to say that the Fucha family, a relative of the Qianlong Dynasty, was much more prominent than Tong Banchao of the Kangxi Dynasty!
It is worth mentioning that, as a foreign minister, Fukang'an was granted the title of Beizi by the Jin Dynasty during his lifetime, and was posthumously granted the title of County Prince after his death. This was a unique favor in the entire Qing Dynasty.
Moreover, Fukang'an was really a very lucky guy. When he died of illness, Qianlong had not yet died.
After Jiaqing came to power, he found any excuse to demote Fukang'an's son Delin from Baylor, who was not allowed to be hereditary, to Beizi, who was not allowed to be hereditary.
Later, Jiaqing found another reason to change the iron-hatted Baylor passed down from Fukang'an to the Duke of Zhenguo who did not reach eight points, and then allowed it to be hereditary.
Just imagine, if Fukangan had lived a few more years, he would have been treated the same as Heshen.
Li Rongbao came, and Lao Twelve also followed Yuzhu to welcome him out of the gate.
Because Lao Twelve’s direct descendant Fujin is Li Rongbao’s biological niece.
The relationship is too close, even if Lao Twelve doesn't want to go out to greet him anymore, he still has to save face.
As the saying goes, don't hit someone with a smiling face.
No matter how unfamiliar Yuzhu and Li Rongbao are, once they come to visit, they must follow the host's etiquette.
After meeting Li Rongbao, Yuzhu politely accompanied him inside.
When Yuzhu and Li Rongbao were talking, Lao Twelve kept his head silent.
What is there to say?
Lao Twelve is Li Rongbao's niece and son-in-law, but Li Rongbao followed Ma Qi and Ma Wu to support Lao Ba.
To be honest, Li Rongbao and Yuzhu are also close relatives.
After all, Xiuyun's natal family and the Fucha clan where Li Rongbao belongs have linked their genealogies and are considered one family!
Hearing that Li Rongbao was coming, Tong Guowei made an exception to meet him for Xiuyun's sake.
After the ceremony, Li Rongbao saw the Tong family's grandfather and grandson in the room, so he whispered: "To be honest, Mr. Yue, your grandson Yue Xing'a has been very close to Master Shi recently."
Tong Guowei seemed to have known about this for a long time and did not show any surprise.
Yuzhu lowered his head deliberately so that Li Rongbao could not see his expression clearly.
In fact, after Yuzhu heard the shocking information reported by Li Rongbao, he suddenly realized it.
In history, Ma Qi and his three brothers probably betrayed Lao Ba and joined Lao Si at this time, right?
Well, the engagement between the Fucha family and Hongli was probably the promise that Lao Si gave to Ma Qi and the others, right?
Everyone is understanding and there is no need to talk too much nonsense.
Li Rongbao passed the shocking inside story to Yuzhu's ears, which was enough to prove the sincerity of Ma Qi and his family to cooperate!
After sending Li Rongbao away, when Yuzhu came back, Tong Guowei had already gone to the ancestral hall.
Tong Guowei's confidant, the old housekeeper Tong Liu, is waiting for Yuzhu's return.
Tong Liu knelt down on one knee, deliberately lowered his voice, and said, "The old man has specially asked me to leave you a message. You are not allowed to ask anything, just mourn as usual." His voice was like a mosquito.
Yuzhu took a deep look at Tong Liu, and he finally understood that having an elder in the family is like a treasure!
Tong Guowei is truly the pinnacle of the old Tong family!
Little Hesheli is both Longkodo's wife and Yuzhu's mother.
However, since father and son each held great power, little Heschel's funeral was naturally organized with great splendor.
Lao Twelve sighed and said: "After all, your old Tong family has a profound background. The time I spent on errands was not too short. This is the first time I have seen this. The funeral lasted only one day, and the only cash I received was
, it’s more than one million taels.”
Yuzhu, who was dressed in linen and mourning, put down the mourning stick in his hand, picked up the tea cup, took a sip of hot tea, and then said calmly: "Power makes people obsessed!"
Lao Twelve thought about it carefully. Yuzhu's words may seem vulgar, but they are rough and unreasonable!
