"Brother, Old Twenty is such a bully. He actually molested my personal maid." Eighty-nine came to complain angrily.
Although Old Twenty is the old emperor's biological son, his status in the heart of the old emperor is obviously lower than Old Eighteen.
Xiao Xuanyu served as a companion to Old Twenty, which was already a great favor bestowed upon Old Twenty by the old emperor.
Think about it, Yuzhu's eldest son is Lao Twenty's companion. Based on this alone, no one inside or outside the palace dares to bully Lao Twenty.
Yuzhu knew well that whenever Lao Twenty came to Long Mansion, he always followed the rules and did not dare to act arbitrarily.
The shop will bully the customers, and the customers will bully the shop. This is an eternal truth.
"Third brother, you must have misunderstood, right?" Yuzhu didn't believe that Old Twenty's eyesight could be so short-sighted that he would actually flirt with Eighty-Nine's personal maid in his house.
Eighty-nine puffed up his cheeks and said, "What I saw with my own eyes, can it be false?"
"Well, was there any use of hands or feet?" Yuzhu deliberately asked Ba99.
Eighty-nine shook his head and said, "That has never happened before."
Yuzhu understood, it must be Lao Twenty who took away Xiao Xuanyu, a good playmate, and made Bajiu angry.
Children in this era, especially those from wealthy families, all mature precociously.
Eighty-nine's deliberate use of the topic is actually a way to vent his dissatisfaction with Lao Twenty.
Hey, this is the Long Mansion. For others, being able to curry favor with Old Twenty would be considered extremely lucky.
Not to mention the powerful Yuzhu, Xiao Xuanyu's direct relative Mafa Longkodo is the admiral of the Nine Sects. Who dares to provoke him easily?
Eighty-nine is Xiao Xuanyu's biological uncle, but Eighty-nine is half a year younger than Xiao Xuanyu.
To be honest, Bajiu and Xiao Xuanyu have been good playmates since they were young.
It's a pity that later, the old emperor made a message and made Xiao Xuanyu become Lao Twenty's companion, and the pair of uncle and nephew were separated at once.
Besides, Bajiu was raised by Yuzhu since he was a child. The two of them are called brothers, but they are actually like father and son.
Yuzhu knew in his heart that Eighty-Nine actually wanted to get close to him and deliberately made an excuse for Old Twenty.
"I just bought some pastries from Tianjin Wei. Come on, try some for me." Yuzhu turned his head and pointed at the oil paper bag Wu Jiang was holding.
Eighty-nine smiled happily and walked side by side with Yuzhu, and the two brothers returned to Yuzhu's yard together.
Xiuyun had already welcomed him out. Seeing Bajiu and Yuzhu together, he smiled and said, "Third brother, you came at the right time. You are in luck. The cooks are roasting the leg of lamb."
"Sister-in-law, you are like a living Buddha. You understand my preferences so well." Eighty-nine is a typical carnivore, and his favorite is roasted leg of lamb.
Yuzhu changed into casual clothes, sat on the kang, and chatted with his wife and brother.
"Brother, I heard that you are now in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs again?" Bajiu looked at Yuzhu expectantly.
Yuzhu nodded and said with a smile: "Why, someone in the Ministry of Internal Affairs has provoked you?"
Eighty-Nine shook his head and said: "I have nothing to do with the Ministry of Internal Affairs, so how could it offend me? Hey, he offended Old Twenty."
Yuzhu listened with a smile and did not interrupt, just because he knew that his brother was a chatterbox and would not let him finish what he said, which made him feel uncomfortable.
If it were an ordinary official family in this era, the disciples of the family would never be allowed to have chatty creatures.
However, Longkodo didn't know how to educate his son, and Li Si'er let it go. When Yuzhu disciplined him for eighty-nine years, he was inevitably affected by the influence of modern times. Compared with the strict ethics, he was many times more tolerant.
Anyway, Eighty-nine is not the fourth child, and Yuzhu is not Kang Mazi, so we can simply let him be the chatterbox.
"Hey, I overheard it. Lao Twenty and his eldest nephew were whispering privately that Wang Chaoqing, the grandson, is so hateful. He actually instigated the emperor to cut down on Lao Twenty and his concubine's expenses."
Eighty-nine said it with gusto, but Yuzhu didn't take it seriously.
Yuzhu's ears and eyes in the palace are also extremely well-informed.
How should I put it, Wang Chaoqing's counterpart happened to be the maid serving the concubine Gao.
Gao is a Han girl and lacks confidence. She is extremely kind to those around her and rarely gets angry or punishes others.
However, Wang Chaoqing's rival palace maid, relying on Wang Chaoqing's power, dared to stay out all night.
Mrs. Gao just scolded the palace maid a few times, and Wang Chaoqing took a grudge against her.
As the saying goes, if you are not afraid of thieves stealing, you are afraid of thieves missing you.
Wang Chaoqing stayed by the old emperor's side all day long, and he had so many opportunities to deal with the Gao family.
What doesn’t Yuzhu understand?
What is eavesdropping?
It was obvious that Lao Twenty dug a hole on purpose and led the silly La Ba Ji to jump in.
To put it bluntly, Old Twenty wanted to use Bajiu's words to arouse Yuzhu's compassion and help him stand up to frighten Wang Chaoqing.
On weekdays, Yuzhu's attitude towards Lao Twenty was naturally very affectionate.
However, this kind of intimacy is only on the surface.
No matter in public or in private, Yuzhu and Lao Twenty had no deep friendship, let alone long-term courtesy exchanges.
The old emperor also knew that Lao Wu and Yu Zhu were in harmony, and Lao Qi and Yu Zhu were inseparable.
However, Lao Wu's face was crippled, Lao Qi's legs were crippled, and they were completely cut off from the throne. This resulted in a loss of sensitivity, and the old emperor would not care about Yu Zhu's personal relationship with Lao Wu and Lao Qi.
However, Lao Twenty is different.
Lao Twenty is indeed very smart. He imitates Lao Sixteen and gets very close to Lao Si in private.
Neither the fourth nor the fourteenth nor the old emperor would allow Yuzhu to have anything to do with them. Otherwise, disaster would surely be imminent.
What's more important is that this unlucky boy, Lao Twenty, actually wants to take Xiao Xuanyu to Lao Si's other courtyard as a guest.
Unlike Xiao Fupeng, who was of a very low background, Xiao Xuanyu was the eldest son of Yuzhu. His status was extremely valuable and he was even qualified to represent Yuzhu's attitude.
If Xiao Xuanyu appeared in the fourth courtyard, no matter who it was, they would definitely think of Yuzhu.
Yuzhu, do you want to leave me and leave a way out for yourself in advance? The old emperor will definitely think so.
Fortunately, Xiao Xuanyu was a clever ghost and helped Yuzhu avoid the disaster by using the excuse of a stomachache and away from the old emperor's suspicion.
Eighty-Nine Bala Bala Bala Bala a lot of details, Yuzhu and Xiuyun quietly looked at each other.
Looking at Xiuyun's meaning, it was obviously blaming.
Look, you have spoiled your younger brother so heartlessly that if a big disaster happens in the future, it will be too late to cry!
Yuzhu knew that in a few years, he and his entire family, including the Eighty-Nine, would have only two options to go.
The one who seizes the kingdom is the king, the one who loses is the thief, there is no other way to go!
If Yuzhu achieves great things, who would dare to think that Bajiu is a chatterbox?
On the other hand, if Yuzhu loses, Eighty-Nine will definitely die!
As for asking Eighty-nine to join the new army, hey, don't be ridiculous, isn't that a deliberate attempt to arouse the suspicion of the old emperor?
