Chapter 47: There is a lot of right and wrong in the Rongxi Hall
While talking and laughing, the two brothers of the Cao family, surrounded by Yuzhu, entered the Xuanrui Hall, the most prestigious place in the Cao family.
The plaque on Xuanruitang was inscribed by Kangxi himself when he was stationed at Jiangning Zhizao Mansion during his southern tour.
At that time, Kangxi also pointed at Mrs. Sun and said to the accompanying prince, elder brother and important ministers, this is an old man in my family!
For a time, the Cao family's honor, favor, and kindness were all revealed, making people extremely enviable.
Yuzhu knew that the Jia family in Dream of Red Mansions had a Rongxi Hall, which happened to correspond to the Xuanrui Hall of the Cao family.
At this time, the Xuanrui Hall was full of seats, and the clothes on the temples were fragrant.
Seeing Yuzhu come in, Mrs. Sun did not support her. With the help of the girl, she slowly stood up to greet her.
The ladies who were originally sitting around Mrs. Sun also stood up to greet her. As for the unmarried girls, because they were not allowed to see foreign men without permission, they hid behind the screen in the inner room early.<
/p>
Although Mrs. Sun is a first-class lady conferred by the emperor today, when bannermen meet, they mainly discuss the status and status of the banner.
The Tong family are relatives of the great aristocrats of Shangsanqi, while the Cao family is just the covering aha of Shangsanqi.
Even Mrs. Sun, who is supreme in the Cao family, dare not show off in front of Yuzhu.
"Student Yuzhu, entrusted by my uncle, congratulations to the old lady to be as blessed as the East China Sea and live as long as the Southern Mountains." Yuzhu took two steps quickly, cupped his fists and cupped his hands, and bowed to the ground.
Yuzhu is so clever. Seeing that Mrs. Sun had already stood up to greet him, he adjusted his posture and formally met him as a scholar.
This avoids identity embarrassment between each other.
Mrs. Sun was a little worried at first. What should she do if Yuzhu wanted to become a noble of the Three Banners?
It's better now. Yuzhu's knowledge and knowledge make Mrs. Sun particularly satisfied.
Mrs. Sun turned sideways to avoid Yuzhu's salute, and said affectionately: "Stop being so polite, sit down, sit down."
Yuzhu was polite, and when he saw Mrs. Sun sitting down again, he slowly sat down on the brocade stool that the girl had brought.
Mrs. Sun asked Yuzhu for help, so she naturally showed a friendly attitude and introduced the ladies in the house to Yuzhu.
Of the women in the room, the leader is naturally Sun Laotaijun, who was granted the title of first-grade concubine, followed by Yan, the wife of Liu Dai, the chief envoy of Anhui.
Coincidentally, Yan was born in the Baoyi Aha under the Xianghuang banner of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. According to the etiquette of the banner people, Yan should kneel down and salute the jade pillar of the great nobleman under the Xianghuang banner.
However, Mrs. Yan is at least forty years old, and she is still a third-grade imperial concubine.
Yuzhu was not an idiot. When he saw Mr. Yan standing up and wanting to salute, he quickly clasped his fists and said to Mrs. Sun, "Please forgive me, old lady. The student has to go to the dressing room."
Before Mrs. Sun could react, Yuzhu had already taken a big step and left Xuanruitang.
Mrs. Yan secretly breathed a sigh of relief and was very grateful for Yuzhu's thoughtfulness. As the wife of a third-grade chief envoy, it was really embarrassing for her to kneel down and salute a young boy in front of so many people. Yuzhu pretended to go to change clothes, but Cao Yong was pestered by the ladies. Everyone asked about Yuzhu's situation.
In order to entertain Yuzhu well and relieve his second uncle Cao Quan from danger, Cao Yong really put a lot of thought into it.
So, Cao Yong told Yuzhu's personal situation and family background.
The family background of nobles cannot be hidden from others, so Cao Yong naturally did not dare to talk nonsense.
The direct nephew of Empress Xiao Yiren, a first-class duke, the grandson of Tong Guowei, the minister in charge of the bodyguard, the biological son of Longkodo, the admiral of the Nine Gates, and the most valued nephew of Acting General Jiangning Qingtai.
What's more important is that in this year's Shuntian Prefecture Banner Academy Examination, Yuzhu was at the top of the list.
As we all know, although the Banner Academy Examination in Shuntian Prefecture is less difficult than the ordinary Academy Examination, it is still a fierce competition for one out of twenty.
Since Yuzhu can be the culprit, he is obviously a young man with real talents and learning.
Yuzhu, as the name suggests, looks like a jade tree facing the wind, and is incredibly handsome.
Mrs. Yan inquired very carefully. When she found out that Yuzhu was only fifteen years old, she couldn't help but be moved.
Different from the ordinary Baoyi Aha, the ancestors of the Yan family are from a scholarly family in Liaodong. In the Yan family, both men and women must study, and no one is illiterate.
If you read a lot, you will naturally understand the truth.
Yan knew in her heart that it was almost impossible for the head of the Banner Court Examination to be deposed during the Shuntian Prefecture Township Examination as long as he submitted the papers for the normal examination.
In other words, Yuzhu is actually regarded as the quasi-jumin master of Shuntian Mansion.
The fifteen-year-old Manchu Juren master, even if he is the last tribute scholar, will definitely take advantage of him when it comes to the palace examination.
The more Yan thought about it, the more tempted she became. Because her second daughter had just turned fourteen and would participate in the palace draft next year.
Who is a parent who truly cares for his daughter, who would be willing to send his daughter to a place like the palace where people eat people without spitting out their bones?
If you don't want a beautiful lady to accompany you to the palace, you must find a way to make the palace lose its reputation.
Neither the Liu family nor the Yan family are strong enough to defeat the greedy guys from the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
However, if the Liu family and the Tong family intend to get married, the situation will be completely different.
With Longkodo's excellent family ties, he found the right time to ask the emperor for marriage, and his chances of success were not high.
Three women in one play. In the entire Xuanrui Hall, there were more than ten well-known women sitting there?
Mrs. Yan was inexplicably silent. Everyone understood her thoughts and quickly guessed her thoughts.
In a place where women gather together, apart from gossiping about family affairs, the most popular thing everyone likes to do is to be a matchmaker.
Mrs. Sun suddenly noticed that the room suddenly became much quieter. Why were the guests not talking?
Old Mrs. Sun, who has become a mature woman, thought about it carefully and immediately understood what was going on. Hey, I'm afraid everyone is eyeing Yuzhu, right?
Uh-huh, Mrs. Sun rolled her eyes and immediately thought of Cao Yin's two daughters.
When Cao Yin's eldest daughter Cao Yi participated in the draft two years ago, the emperor recommended that she be married to Prince Pingjun Nersu, so she was ignored.
However, Cao Yin's second daughter, Cao Chun, is only twelve years old, only three years younger than Yuzhu, which is worth considering.
In addition, Hangzhou weaver Sun Wencheng is the nephew of Mrs. Sun, and his legitimate daughter Sun Xiangyun is thirteen years old this year, which is just right.
Among the more distant in-laws, Li Baochai, the legitimate daughter of Suzhou weaver Li Xu, is the same age as Yuzhu, so it is not impossible to consider.
Most people at that time knew that Mrs. Sun was once Jinshang’s nanny. But they didn’t know that Wen Shi, the biological mother of Suzhou weaver Li Xu, was actually Jinshang’s nanny.
As the saying goes, men are afraid of getting into the wrong profession, and women are afraid of marrying the wrong man.
Although Li Si'er came from a humble background and had a bad reputation, it is a fact recognized by the powerful circles that Longkodo, the most favored one, will sooner or later take the title of first-class duke.
In this era where men are the masters of the household, women are just subordinates.
With the giant Buddha in Longkodo as his residence, Li Si'er's bad reputation can almost be ignored.
Like Yuzhu, a super-diamond king, it would be weird for any noble lady with an unmarried daughter in her family to not think about it.
