Chapter 636 The third child who cheated his younger brother
As usual, when an imperial envoy leaves the capital eastward, his first stop must be at Tongzhou Post.
Tongzhou is not only the end point of the Grand Canal, but also the most important granary in the capital.
Back then, Yuan Shikai used the Beiyang Army to force the Qing Emperor to abdicate, deliberately cutting off the food route from Tongzhou to the capital.
What is ridiculous is that the princes and nobles of the Eight Banners, whose families had no food, actually became Yuan Xiangcheng's greatest help in forcing the palace.
For thousands of years, at the end of any empire, the truly capable elites among the ruling class have been eliminated, and those in power are all losers.
This has become a rule!
Yuzhu lay on his back on the thick mattress, Qingwen lay on his chest and whispered: "Master, I always feel that Prince Cheng's face is not kind."
Well, women's intuition is indeed very keen, and they noticed that Lao San had ill intentions towards Yuzhu.
Yuzhu smiled faintly and said: "It's useless if he doesn't like me. As long as the Long Live Lord likes me, I will not only remain standing, but also have great power."
These words may seem like nothing, but they are actually very domineering.
Qingwen pressed her pink cheek against Yuzhu's face and said graciously: "Master, I miss you."
After receiving the sweet signal, Yuzhu didn't hesitate at all and immediately asked Qingwen to play the role of Guanyin.
After so many years, Yuzhu has been surrounded by beauties.
However, Qingwen always occupied a very important place in his heart.
There is no way, as a woman who has been raised since childhood, it is inevitable that Yuzhu will have partial pain.
However, it is precisely because of Yuzhu's special pampering that Qingwen has developed a happy temperament of crying whenever she wants and laughing whenever she wants.
If Xiuyun, the mistress of the house, has this kind of temperament, it will definitely not work.
Qingwen is just a concubine in the backyard of the Long Mansion. She neither needs to preside over the central palace, nor does she need to represent Yuzhu to deal with the wives of each mansion.
As for Yuzhu, he has been thinking about the classic scene of Qingwen tearing off the fan. Anyway, as long as he is alive, Qingwen can breathe free air.
If a man has power and can protect himself, how big of a deal does this matter?
What's the harm in letting Qingwen live more comfortably?
After arriving at the boundary of Tongzhou, the magistrate of Tongzhou greeted him with a smile on the roadside.
After the courtesy ceremony, Tongzhou Zhizhou nodded and bowed and invited the three of them into Tongzhou Post.
Because when governors from various places and important officials from the imperial court returned to Beijing, their first stop was Tongzhou Post. Therefore, after years of expansion and renovation, Tongzhou Post has become the largest post in the world.
This time the imperial mission went out to the capital, and there were two princes and one a duke. The pomp and circumstance was very rare.
Tongzhou Yicheng has been serving the three ancestors with trepidation, fearing that if he offends them, he will be whipped in vain.
However, Tongzhou Yicheng had better luck, and all three ancestors were easy to talk to.
The third child is a typical educated person. On the surface, he is very kind and seems to cherish feathers very much.
Lao Ba, he is a well-known gentleman. Not only does he not show any expression on his face, but he is also extremely kind and cheerful.
As for Yuzhu, he has always been like, "I won't offend others unless they offend me", and there is absolutely no need to vent his anger on a low-class postmaster.
In the official circles of the Qing Dynasty, there were long-established rules for which rank lived in which courtyard.
The third child is a prince, so he naturally lives in the most luxurious main courtyard in the inn.
The eighth child is Lord Beile, and he also occupies the less luxurious east courtyard.
Yuzhu took Qingwen and moved into the West Courtyard in line with his status.
What is more interesting is that among the three, only Yuzhu has the privilege of taking a woman with him, while the third and eighth children can only stare.
As the old emperor's confidant, a famous marshal who was victorious in every battle, the powerful chief minister and the head of the bodyguard, Yuzhu had a bad habit of having to take women on official business, and he was already favored by the old emperor.
In the history of the Qing Dynasty, there was only one person who could be compared with Yuzhu, namely Gushan Beizi Fukang'an.
However, in today's fifty-seventh year of Kangxi, Fu Kang'an's biological father, Fu Heng, has not yet been born.
After checking into the west courtyard, Yuzhu sat by the window drinking tea, while Qingwen, like a housekeeper, directed the servants to put the items that men usually use into hands.
In fact, it can be seen whether a woman serves a man carefully or not.
For example, Qingwen knew that the Four Treasures of the Study that Yuzhu often used must be placed at the front right end of the desk. As for the Duan Inkstone that Yuzhu often used, some water must be added in advance and slightly ground.
Because when Yuzhu is inspired, he can just pick up the pen and lick the ink and write.
While Yuzhu drank tea, he admired the woman's butterfly-like figure, and felt something in her heart!
Well, it would be better if you have a more aggressive temperament. You are like Lin Yan'er's submissive sheep temperament, which is really boring.
The second master Bao in Dream of Red Mansions seems to be very affectionate and dotes on Qingwen.
In fact, when Qingwen was kicked out, Brother Tangtang Bao didn't dare to stand up and say a word for her.
The so-called second master Bao's love is extremely cheap.
In the final analysis, without the blessing of one's own strength, love is just a castle in the air.
On the other hand, Qingwen, who is around Yuzhu, has always been daring and courageous, and often does things that go against the world.
However, even if Longkodo and Li Si'er didn't like her again, they didn't dare to mess around.
This is a typical strength determinism.
Yuzhu has strength, Qingwen has dignity, and they complement each other.
After Qingwen finished her work, she sat directly on Yuzhu's lap in front of all the servants, put her arms around the man's neck, and said with a smile: "Master, I'm tired, can you take me back to the room to rest?"
Damn it, you can go to the hall and enter the bridal chamber without caring about the generosity of others.
Yuzhu, who has the soul of a modern man, still does this.
Among the many women, the only one Yuzhu couldn't handle was Xuewei's biological mother Alice.
Alice's super ocean horse is not only naturally talented, but also good at learning skills.
To put it shamefully, if Yuzhu doesn't take medicine, he really can't deal with her.
As a result, Yuzhu was in high spirits, and Lao San sent someone to call him over for dinner.
"Let's just say that I have caught a cold and my bones are not feeling well."
After listening to Yuzhu's instructions, Wu Jiang thought to himself that this was his master. If it were anyone else, he would not dare to offend his third son.
Lao San and Lao Ba were both present. After listening to Wu Jiang's reply, Lao Ba couldn't help but smile and joked: "It's hard for a hero to be a beauty!"
On the surface, these words may seem like nothing, but in fact, they are reminding the third child that Yuzhu is too arrogant and would rather sleep with beauty than accompany the dignified Prince Cheng.
After hearing Lao Ba's provocation, Lao San also smiled and said lightly: "Young people, it's completely understandable."
Even if the third child gets angry again, he can't bite the jade pillar. Instead of getting angry, it's better to tolerate it temporarily.
We are all old brothers. The third child knows the temper of the eighth child very well and cannot be easily provoked and deceived.
On the contrary, Lao Ba has a better understanding of Lao San's feminine personality.
In fact, Lao San is a typical literati who reads too many books. Although he has ideas, he has always been indecisive and wants to win but is afraid of losing.
Historically, after the fourth child got the upper hand, it was the third child who took the initiative to stand up, invited the eighth child to talk secretly for a while, and successfully convinced the eighth child.
Unexpectedly, Lao Ba's kneeling was tantamount to giving Lao Si a righteous status, causing the centrists who originally stood on the fence to gradually turn to Lao Si.
