After it was completely dark, Yuzhu, who was wearing casual clothes, took an ordinary carriage and arrived at Meiyuan Book Apartment on Wangguangfu Xiejie.
Ma Qi's bodyguard, Ma Qi, saw Yuzhu coming. He quickly stepped forward to salute, and deliberately whispered: "Little Ma Qi, please be at peace in Yuzhong Hall."
Yuzhu knew Ma Qi and asked him with a smile: "Have you arrived at your home hall?"
"To be honest with you, Yu Zhongtang, my zhongtang has been here a long time ago and is waiting for you to grow old." Ma Qi did not dare to neglect at all, bowed and answered respectfully.
Yuzhu nodded and said calmly: "Then let's lead the way."
"Hey." Ma Qi bowed, deliberately took a step back, and led Yuzhu to see Ma Qi.
The place Ma Qi reserved was at the far end of the second floor. After Yu Zhu entered the room, Ma Qi immediately stood up, walked quickly to the door, and said with a smile: "Brother Jingqing is indeed a trustworthy person."
Yuzhu smiled slightly. Ma Qi's title was actually a bit confusing.
Because of their genealogical connections, Ma Qi and Yuzhu's father-in-law, Chang De, are considered brothers of the same generation.
However, in temples, those who are accomplished are always respected.
Unless Song Zhu, the chief Manchurian bachelor, Yuzhu and Ma Qi are both cabinet bachelors, it is impossible to distinguish between superior and inferior.
If Ma Qi forced himself to be the so-called elder and asked Yuzhu for help, the discussion would definitely be impossible.
Besides, although Ma Qi returned to serve as the Grand Bachelor of Wuyingdian, he was not assigned to manage the ministry.
Many well-known bachelors, regardless of department, are second-rate among bachelors.
On the other hand, Yuzhu, who firmly controls the power of the household department, is truly the God of Wealth.
It is no exaggeration to say that when it comes to money and food, everyone except the old emperor will look at Yuzhu's face.
I remember that back then, Master Weng, as the Minister of Military and Aircraft, also served as the Minister of Household Affairs. He was so stunned that Li Hefei, who had taken control of the Beiyang Navy and the Huai Army, was so stuck that his eyes were filled with stars, but he stared helplessly.
After sitting down, Ma Qi politely offered the tea. Yuzhu picked up the tea cup and took a sip. Well, authentic Lu'an Guapian.
Lu'an Guapian was called Luzhou Guapian Tea in the Tang Dynasty, and it is tribute tea in this dynasty.
In the classic "A Dream of Red Mansions", Lu'an Guapian is mentioned in more than 80 places.
After a complete set of etiquette, Ma Qi said with a smile: "To be honest, brother Jieqing, I really want to ask for something when I invite you today."
Yuzhu blinked. He originally thought that Ma Qi would follow the usual rules and ask Mei Ji to come in and wait for her, and then talk about serious matters when the wine was full and her ears were warm.
Who would have thought that Ma Zhongtang would not follow common sense and planned to talk about things first and then have fun.
"My little brother is willing to hear the details." Jianghu is not big or small, and everyone should be called according to their status, which is the right principle.
"Oh, that's what happened..." After Ma Qi explained, Yuzhu suddenly realized.
Dare to love, it’s really a big deal.
Ma Qi's younger brother Li Rongbao is currently the general manager of Chahar and is based in Zhangjiakou.
Perhaps because he drank too much, or perhaps because he was obsessed with sex, Li Rongbao actually molested the princess of Chahar Zhasak County, and was discovered.
Ma Qi was so secretive, but Yu Zhu knew it as soon as he heard it. If he said it was obscene, he might have already entered Hong Kong...
This time, it broke the sky.
Fortunately, Li Rongbao still had some sense and sent someone back to Beijing in time to report the matter to Ma Qi before the victim went to Beijing to complain.
No wonder Ma Qi was so anxious that he dared to ask Yu Zhu to meet alone in front of everyone.
Hehe, for such a big thing, with Ma Qi’s current favor, he definitely won’t be able to hold it down.
To be honest, Ma Qi is quite discerning, and it is useless to ask anyone except Yuzhu.
We are all top dignitaries in the temple. If you want to press on with such a big matter, the rewards will not be small.
Seeing that Yuzhu didn't say anything, Ma Qi stood up, cupped his hands and said: "I just want to save my brother's life, everything else depends on my orders."
When Yuzhu heard this, he realized that Ma Qi was also a very sensible person.
What Ma Qi means is that as long as it is the exchange condition proposed by Yuzhu, the entire Fucha family will agree to it even if it means selling the iron.
Since ancient times, those who want to achieve great things must be generous.
If he is so reluctant to bleed, how can he save Li Rongbao's life?
Yuzhu knew it, and Ma Qi understood clearly. He spent more time with the old emperor every day than anyone else.
When the old emperor learned about such a big scandal, when he was furious, if Yuzhu, who was accompanying the driver, could help him by saying a few words, Li Rongbao might have been saved.
The so-called people in the court are easy to be officials. The core is that there are people beside the old emperor who can help speak*, and the old emperor can still listen.
Ma Qi was very clear in his heart, Yuzhu was not short of money, and he was not short of beauties, so he asked Yuzhu to come out with conditions.
Yuzhu thought for a while and said, "I heard that your younger brother has an only daughter who is not only ice-smart but also pretty."
Ma Qi's old face immediately turned pale with fright, and he stammered: "To tell you the truth, my niece is only seven years old, and she still has a runny nose. How can she be beautiful?"
Seeing Ma Qi's frightened expression, Yu Zhu immediately realized that Ma Qi must have misunderstood.
Ma Qi mistakenly thought that Yuzhu fell in love with the young Fucha family. This was of course a beautiful misunderstanding.
Yuzhu smiled slightly and said: "Quanzi Changsheng was born in February of the 48th year of Kangxi..."
Ma Qi was definitely not an idiot. When he heard the birthday of Little Iron Hammer, his eyes immediately lit up and he whispered: "Brother, do you mean to get married?"
"Of course!" Yuzhu thought about it for a long time, but still couldn't find a satisfactory exchange condition, so he simply took action in advance and turned Qianlong's virtuous wife into his daughter-in-law.
Ma Qi was so happy that his eyes narrowed. It was unimaginable that he could marry Yuzhu!
However, Ma Qi still has some regrets. If it were Xiuyun's eldest son Xiaoxuanyu, it would be even more perfect.
Due to the relationship between the two clans, Ma Qi naturally knows the situation of Yuzhu's family very well.
Although Chang Sheng is also Yuzhu's biological son, his status is far less valuable than Xuanyu from Xiuyun.
"Brother Jingqing, since you think so highly of niece She and don't say secret words in front of others, I will make the decision for brother She and agree. Our Shaji Fucha family has no reason to go back on it!" Ma Qi was afraid that Yuzhu would change his mind.
, simply say it to death.
Ma Qi is not only Li Rongbao's eldest brother, but also the patriarch of the Shaji Fucha clan...
"Then it's settled!" Yuzhu knew Ma Qi's worries and followed suit.
After talking about the business, Ma Qi ordered people to go back to the house and brought the Fucha family heirloom as a token of engagement.
Yuzhu looked at the emerald brave in front of him and thought, Ma Qi is really courageous.
Since Ma Qi had given an example, Yuzhu also asked Wu Jiang to go home and brought a fan pendant as a token of exchange.
As for the talent show girls that the Fucha family will participate in in the future, neither Ma Qi nor Yuzhu mentioned it.
With the strong strength of Yuzhu and Lao Tong’s family, it’s just a trivial matter, so why bother talking about it?
After the deal was concluded, Ma Qi gave a gentle high-five, and several singers came in from outside.
Yuzhu has always been interested in Gou Jimu, but since he is married to Ma Qi, he has to give some face.
After the banquet started, in front of Yuzhu, Ma Qi hugged the two young men who had not yet broken the melon, and teased them as if no one else was watching.
Next to Yuzhu, there is also a very beautiful woman sitting. Looking at the headdress, you can tell that she is also a virgin.
After more than ten rounds of drinking, Ma Qi lost his temper and left with his arms around the two beauties.
After Ma Qi left, Yuzhu also stood up and walked outside.
Meiji, who has been accompanying Yuzhu, originally thought that she would be combed tonight.
Unexpectedly, Yuzhu treated her like a loser and left without looking back.
After returning home, Yuzhu didn't feel sleepy at all, so he simply went to find Zhou Quan.
The two of them drank tea and played chess.
"Dong Weng, although Ma Qi has returned to the cabinet, he is an empty bachelor with no real power. You made Chang Sheng Ma Qi's niece-in-law. Even if the emperor finds out, it will be fine." Zhou Quan learned.
Regarding the marriage between Yuzhu and Ma Qi, he smiled happily and said, "Xuanyu is different. His marriage*, I'm afraid it depends on Jinshang's eyes."
Yuzhu nodded and said: "Chang Sheng does not have strong maternal support, so he married Ma Qi's niece without breaking any taboos."
The old emperor had always been wary of marriages between Manchu dignitaries.
Therefore, when selecting girls, behind the old emperor's seemingly chaotic marriage grant, there was hidden the art of balancing to prevent the powerful and powerful people from collaborating to plot against me.
The Shaji Fucha family of the Maqi clan is not the top powerful family in this dynasty.
In particular, Ma Qi was on the wrong team and supported Lao Ba as the crown prince. After being suppressed by the old emperor, the Fucha family in his group obviously lost power.
The original rumor was that the two horses ate up all the grass in the world.
Now, Ma Qikong has the title of great scholar, and Ma Wu has also lost his position as the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Zhou Quan shook open the folding fan and said with a smile: "Based on my understanding of Jin Shang, it is unlikely that Xuan Yu's direct wife is from a famous family."
Yuzhu took a sip of the tea soup. He smiled calmly and said, "It was precisely because I understood this that I let Chang Sheng and the Fucha family get married."
Early the next morning, after Yuzhu and the old emperor discussed financial issues behind closed doors, he told the old emperor everything about his meeting with Ma Qi last night.
The old emperor's face was uncertain, and he did not express his position for a long time.
However, Yuzhu just pretended not to see it and said with a smile: "Old man, since I am married to their family, it is not appropriate for Ma Qi to serve as a bachelor again."
After hearing this, the old emperor suddenly said coldly: "If Ma Qi knew about it, wouldn't he hate you to the bone?"
Yuzhu spread his hands and said calmly: "I don't have any ghosts in my heart, so why should I be afraid?"
The old emperor then laughed and cursed: "You little bastard, don't I understand you yet? If Ma Qi doesn't leave, it's your turn. Huh, you probably want to give up your job again, right?"
"Hehe, old man, you are the Buddha of the West, and I am the little monkey in the palm of your hand. No idea can be hidden from your eyes." What Yuzhu said made the old emperor laugh.
The old emperor had read "Journey to the West". No matter how powerful the Monkey King in the book was, he could never escape from the palm of the Buddha in the West.
