When Lao Tong's family held a happy event, Qingtai stood at the gate to greet guests, while Yuzhu stood guard in the concierge.
This is particular.
It is the rule of the banner people for the elder brother to marry and the younger brother to welcome guests.
However, Li Si'er's situation is rather special. She already has two sons and one daughter, so it is definitely impossible for her to sit on the sedan chair and be carried into the gate of old Tong's house.
However, etiquette, in the upper class society, is just the icing on the cake, and can be modified by the big shots as needed.
Qingtai made suggestions, Tong Guowei made the decision, and Yuzhu was present. As long as all three parties agree, there are no rules that cannot be changed.
Yuzhu was sitting in the concierge drinking tea. It was just ordinary people who were led into the house by the housekeepers.
If the princes and nobles come, it is Yuzhu's turn to greet them personally.
When Yuzhu was waiting very boredly, a voice singing harmony suddenly came from the door, "Prince Heshuokang, here!"
For a time, Old Tong's house opened its middle door, drums and music were playing, and it was very lively.
After hearing the report, Yuzhu put down the tea cup in his hand and walked out of the concierge quickly.
The current Prince Kang Chong'an is the fourth generation grandson of Prince Li Daishan. Yuzhu has never interacted with him, so he actually came to join in the fun?
Even though Li Si'er was canonized as Madam Zhaosheng and carried into Manchuria under the Zhenghuang Banner, she was once the concubine of Longkodo's father-in-law. Who doesn't know that?
But, my lord, times have changed.
No matter how awesome Longkodo was, Prince Kang Chongan would not give him a second look.
However, Yuzhu is different.
After Yuzhu's great favor was superimposed on the actual power of the Youzong of the Zongren Mansion, his intimidating power in the clan circle was instantly amplified by more than ten times?
To put it bluntly, if Yuzhu doesn't like anyone, even if it is an iron-hatted prince, their family's weddings, funerals, and children's registration will not be happy.
The principle that county officials are inferior to current administrators is extremely simple, but it is the truth!
The earliest connection between the old Tong family and the lineage of Prince Li (Kang) is actually that the mother of Daishan was the Tong Jia family of Taizu Yuanfei.
With such a little bit of maternal blood connection, the grandchildren of Chong'an's generation have long since become weaker than water.
However, sensible people in powerful circles have this ability, and relationships that are obviously extremely far away can be said to be very close.
The line of Prince Li (Kang) started from Daishan, passed through Mandahai, Chang'adai, Jieshu, Chuntai, and then to Chong'an, which lasted exactly six generations.
The lineage of the old Tong family of Yuzhu, starting from Tong Yun, passed through Tong Yangzhen, Tong Tulai, Tong Guowei, Longkoduo, and then to Yuzhu, which is also the sixth generation.
Tong Jia, the imperial concubine of Taizu, was both Tong Jun's biological sister and Daishan's biological mother.
Judging from this aspect, Yuzhu is actually the uncle of Prince Kang Chong'an.
Of course, this so-called elder is already extremely watery.
At least, the Prince Li (Kang) line before today has never acknowledged it.
However, the situation is stronger than the people. Who told Yuzhu to hold the throats of the clan members?
The extremely large Prince An's family was all pushed down by Yuzhu. How appalling is this?
Ma Fa of Chong'an and Prince Jieshu of Lao Kang had a very close relationship with the old emperor.
However, Ama Chuntai from Chong'an was so confused that he turned out to be a hardcore Eight-Ye Party member, and was despised by the old emperor.
Chong'an himself can be regarded as a majority of the Ba Ye Party.
Unfortunately, Yuzhu is also the nemesis of the Ba Ye Party.
Therefore, Chongan was forced to hold his nose in order to protect himself.
Who doesn’t know yet, that the old emperor placed the jade pillar in the clan’s mansion just to take advantage of the opportunity to clean up the Manchurian military meritorious officials?
In the early years of Kangxi, the old emperor's throne was not stable, and he mainly focused on wooing the clan members.
The royal princes of that era all had real power in their hands, so naturally they were very close to the old emperor.
However, as the old emperor took power for a long time, especially after the establishment of Nanshufang, the old emperor continued to weaken the power in the hands of the clan princes.
After Chun Tai attacked Jieshu's prince, he no longer had any real power. How could he not resent the old emperor in his heart?
There was nothing we could do about it. After defeating the Three Feuds and taking over Taiwan, the greatest threat to Kangxi's throne became the Manchurian military meritorious elite class.
The rapid rise of the Ba Ye Party in the later years of Kangxi was actually a fierce resistance to Kangxi's monopoly of power by old Manchurian military veterans who used Lao Ba's identity as a prince as a cover.
During the Yongzheng Dynasty, this fierce resistance led to an extremely tragic consequence: Lao Si forced his own son Hongshi to death.
Although Hong Shi was not killed by Lao Si himself. However, under Lao Si's continuous and severe attacks, the imperial doctors could only sit back and watch Hong Shi, who was seriously ill, slowly run out of gas.
Qingtai personally accompanied Prince Kang Chong'an and entered the palace through the middle gate. The jade pillar was waiting inside the middle gate.
As soon as Chong'an saw Yuzhu, he smiled and said, "Brother Yuzhu, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for so long."
As soon as Yuzhu heard this, he understood that Chongan wanted to be proud after all, so he deliberately avoided the possibility that Yuzhu was his elder and simply regarded him as a brother.
Brothers will be brothers. Anyway, when the old emperor wants to deal with Chong'an, Yuzhu will not be soft-hearted.
After touching each other, Yuzhu accompanied Prince Kang Chongan into the main courtyard.
Tong Guowei is the emperor's only living uncle, and his status is extremely noble. He only needs to greet him at the entrance of the main courtyard.
To put it bluntly, even when the eunuch sent by the old emperor to give gifts comes, he will always give special attention as usual. Long live the Lord said, no courtesy for my uncle.
With Tong Guowei present, Yuzhu and Chong'an said a few perfunctory words and then returned to the concierge.
After the news of Prince Kang's personal visit spread, the remaining princes and princes who were iron-hatted were extremely embarrassed.
When it comes to treating guests and giving gifts, I'm afraid of being independent.
No one went to congratulate him, and even if Yuzhu had any objections, it was unlikely that he would keep an eye on a certain palace.
However, Chong'an left without saying hello. If the rest of the people didn't go, they would be worried about Yuzhu.
As a result, when the banquet was about to begin, the old prince and the young princes, who were easily invisible, came together.
Oh, now, the power of the old Tong family is much more prominent than it was during the Tong Ban Dynasty.
After hearing the news, Longkodo, who had a good reputation, was so happy that he couldn't help but stroking his beard and nodding his head. He was very satisfied.
Li Si'er was in the main room at the back, wearing a bright red wedding dress. Although the wrinkles on his face could no longer be concealed, he was still beaming with joy.
The sisters-in-law of the old Tong family were all jealous to death, but they did not dare to say those unfavorable words to spoil the joy on this happy day.
It feels good to say sour words for a while, but afterwards, when Yuzhu seeks revenge, don't cry!
Li Si'er is indeed a rotten, bitch, and dirty piece of shit.
However, Li Si'er did one big thing right: he gave birth to an unusually awesome biological son.
The shadow of this outdoor bastard has shrouded the entire roof of Old Tong's house.
Anyone who dares to explode a thorn does not want to taste what it would be like to be hammered, right?
"Third brother and sister, the hairpin you inserted today has a special charm. Men will definitely like it after seeing it." The daughter-in-law of the boss Ye Keshu couldn't hold back, and finally showed off a little bit.
There is no way, there is too much acidic water in the stomach, it insists on pouring out, and there is no way to stop it.
Li Si'er was so happy today that he didn't realize the thorn in his sister-in-law's words.
However, Li Si'er rewarded Yuzhu's concubine with red plums, but he kept a small black book in his heart and wrote down a large account for Ye Keshu's wife.
In these extraordinary times, with Hongmei’s cleverness, it is naturally impossible for her to have an attack now.
Anyway, the women in the backyard have a lot of time, so it’s not too late to settle accounts after autumn.
However, most people are still afraid of Yuzhu. Most of the time, the sisters-in-law say good things, praising Li Si'er's virtuousness, praising Yuyan's beauty, and praising Yuzhu's great ability.
For a moment, the atmosphere in the room was great!
However, at this moment, the eldest girl's voice suddenly came from the door, "Third Madam, our Uncle Zhu's eldest aunt and second aunt are here."
Longkodo ranked third among the eight brothers of the old Tong family, and was also called Long Laosan. Therefore, after Li Sier was straightened up, she became the third wife of the old house.
Li Si'er has no older sisters, only two cousins.
The so-called eldest aunt and second aunt from the third wife's natal family are Li Si'er's two cousins who have not been in contact with each other for a long time.
After Yue Xing'a was kicked out by Tong Guowei and removed from the family tree, Yu Zhu, who was originally called the Second Master Zhu, became the eldest son of the third family member of the Tong family, also known as Uncle Zhu.
"Humph, what are they doing here? Tell them to get out of here." When Li Si'er thought of the sad past, he became angry and slapped the table on the spot.
"Sister, my good sister, we are both concubines, and we cannot be independent."
"Good sister, I was wrong. If you want to beat or punish me, it's up to you. But today is a happy day, so don't drive us away..."
Li Si'er was originally a shrewd person, but unexpectedly, her two cousins were even more shrewd. They actually knelt down in front of everyone, and each hugged one of Li Si'er's legs tightly.
"Good sister, if you are really angry, just slap my ear." The cousin took Li Si'er's hand and slapped her own face.
"Good sister, I always remember that it was you who brought me up when I was a child. You helped me wash my face and comb my hair, serve me food... serve food..." The second cousin almost let it slip, but luckily she caught it in time.
Otherwise, you will really get scratched.
The sisters-in-law of the old Tong family watched the play with great interest.
They originally thought that Li Si'er was enough of a living treasure. Unexpectedly, Li Si'er's two cousins were even more valuable among living treasures.
Qing Lin, the wife of Lao Ba Qingtai, was also one of Yu Zhu's mothers after all. She couldn't stand it, so she wanted to help Li Si'er soften his cheeks.
Who would have thought that the wife of the eldest brother Ye Keshu and the second son Deke Xin, one on the left and the other on the right, distracted Qing Lin's attention by making jokes.
You see, at a critical moment, dissatisfied elements within the family will jump out and cause trouble.
Therefore, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty did the simple thing and killed all the sons of Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji to avoid future troubles.
Li Si'er was making a fuss here, and Yuzhu's two uncles stood in front of him like good grandchildren, not even daring to take a breath.
Yuzhu's two uncles, one is General Fu Guo and the other is General Feng Guo, are both descendants of the clan.
It's quite embarrassing to say that Yuzhu's eldest aunt and second aunt are both concubines.
Therefore, the term "uncle" is actually an inappropriate name for someone.
However, heroes do not care about their origin.
These two guys must now act based on Yuzhu's eyes.
Yuzhu frowned and was about to speak. When he raised his eyes, he saw an old acquaintance walking in from outside with a smile.
(PS: The first update has been sent, and it will be the third update today. Thank you brothers for letting me take a breath and take a break in the middle.)
