After discussing for more than half an hour, the old emperor made the decision.
Songzhu was responsible for supervising the construction of the Fengxian Hall, and with the help of jade pillars, there was nothing to do with Qingtai.
The old emperor knew what he was doing, so instead of dragging Qingtai in to accompany him, he might as well directly lock Yuzhu's responsibility.
After returning home from duty, Yuzhu got the good news that Qingwen was pregnant.
Speaking of which, Qingwen has been following Yuzhu for a long time, but there is still no movement in her stomach. It is really a pity.
Qingwen didn't say anything on the surface, but privately, she kept complaining to Yuzhu about God's injustice.
It's better now. As the saying goes, rain comes after a long drought. Yuzhu felt happy and gave the order.
"Come here, tell me what I say, and the servants in the mansion will be rewarded with ten taels of silver each!"
Yuzhu was overjoyed and rewarded her too much, which made Xiuyun a little unhappy.
"Sir, it won't be too late to reward her after she gives birth to a little brother, right?" Xiuyun reminded Yuzhu in a low voice that Qingwen was just a concubine after all.
The mistress of a wealthy family, even if she is as virtuous as Xiuyun, will feel a little bit a little bit in her heart when she sees a man pampering his concubine so much.
The eldest wife felt uncomfortable, and Yuzhu naturally needed to be comforted. He said with a smile: "Madam, reduce it to five taels, and we won't do it next time, okay?"
When Xiuyun was pregnant with Xiaoxuanyu, the whole family rewarded her with twenty taels of silver.
Later, in order not to favor one against another, when she was pregnant with Xiao Xuanjing again, she was still rewarded with twenty taels by the whole family.
Now, Yuzhu took the initiative to give in and reduced the number from ten taels to five taels, so Xiuyun could not continue to pester him.
However, even if Xiuyun didn't say anything, after Li Si'er learned the news, he went to Yuzhu with some objections.
"It's just a concubine, but it's such a big show. Is it ridiculous?" Li Si'er lowered his face and scolded Yuzhu.
Yuzhu glanced at Aunt Liu, who blinked understandingly, which meant that she would definitely choose a good time to speak for him.
"Eni, that is my beloved woman, just allow me to be proud of myself for once, okay?" Yuzhu said this deliberately, but actually wanted to remind Li Si'er.
My dear mother, my father has really done a lot of ridiculous things for you.
Li Si'er has always had a double standard style. She smiled coldly, snorted and said, "Can she be compared to you and me?"
"That's natural. When Enie was pregnant with me, our Amana was rewarded with a hundred taels by the whole government." Yuzhu boasted about Li Si'er's glorious past.
This matter just tickled Li Si'er's itch. She smiled proudly and said, "That bastard refused to let me enter the gate of old Tong's house. Your Ama felt so panicked that she choked up a bad breath.
You have to hold up the scene for me."
Li Si'er hated Longkodo's original wife, Xiao Hesheli, and privately, he always referred to him as that dead ghost.
Speaking of which, the sudden death of little Hesheli was actually the basis for Yuzhu and Tong Guowei to reach mutual understanding.
There is no way, as long as little Hesheli doesn't die, even if Longkoduo protects the jade pillar, the unpredictable harm will be greater than anyone else.
As the saying goes, don't be a husband if you are not poisonous, and don't be in power if you are soft-hearted!
Yuzhu was by no means a soft-hearted person. He promised Tong Guowei that he would always take care of the old Tong family in the future, on the condition that little Hesheli must die violently.
After having dinner with Li Si'er, Yuzhu went to see Qingwen.
Qingwen said with longing, "Sir, it would be great if he was a little brother."
Yuzhu really wanted to say that he liked both boys and girls.
However, in this era where boys are openly favored over girls, if Yuzhu said he likes girls, Qingwen should think nothing of it.
This is the first time Qingwen is pregnant, and this is not the first time Yuzhu has become a father.
According to past practice, Yuzhu sent someone early and brought generous gifts to ask Dr. Zhang, the gynecological expert in the palace, to come over regularly to keep an eye on Qingwen's physical condition.
To this day, Yuzhu can be regarded as having a group of children.
Because Yuzhu paid special attention to disinfection and hygiene issues, the risk of postpartum infection for all the women around him who had given birth was minimized.
Yuzhu happened to be off duty the next day, and his Jinshi elders of the same year, Seleng'e and Actun, came to visit together.
In today's court, there are only a few people from the Jade Party clique.
If we insist on saying that there are, it would be Sun Chengyun, Tang Bing, Yang Sen, Seleng'e, Acton, and a few others.
Among them, Tang Bing is the current governor of Shuntian Prefecture, Sai Leng'e is the left deputy censor of the Imperial Procuratorate, and Akdon is the general envoy.
Relying on Yuzhu's strong support, the three of them have climbed to the high position of third-rank officials.
In terms of qualifications, Tang Bing has the best experience.
However, because he was a Han minister, the speed of his promotion was not as fast as that of Seleng'e and Actun.
After Acton entered the door, he bowed and said respectfully: "Thank you Zhongtang for your promotion and reinvention."
Yuzhu hurried forward, took the initiative to help Actun up, and deliberately complained: "You and I are of the same age, and we are also brothers, why are we like this?"
Seleng looked at Acton with envy, feeling somewhat sour in his heart.
The reason is actually very simple. With Yuzhu's guidance, Actun was favored by the old emperor and was about to be appointed governor of Shandong.
In the Qing Dynasty, rising from the third rank to the second rank was definitely a major event worthy of celebration.
A second-grade official is already an important minister of the empire. When he leaves, he will be a feudal official, and when he enters, he will be a minister or minister.
From the time he became a Jinshi in the 45th year of Kangxi's reign to the current 57th year of Kangxi's reign, in just twelve years, Actun has become one of the most important officials in the imperial court.
Looking around, among Yuzhu's Jinshi scholars in the same year, Acton climbed the fastest, followed by Sai Leng'e.
As for the rest of the same year, most of them are among the fifth and sixth-rank petty officials, and they are still living a miserable life of borrowing money.
The petty Beijing officials who do not hold real power are all poor as long as their family background is not strong.
In the capital, there are some people who specialize in the loan business of small capital officials. In addition to fishing for big fish in the long run, most of them are the white gloves of local governors.
These days, under the premise that the old emperor has centralized power, even if local governors want to spend a lot of money to buy inside information from the palace or the court, they are afraid that they will not find a suitable channel.
To be honest, God knows how many people are eager to take the path of Yuzhu?
However, under the old emperor's nose, Yuzhu rarely spoke for others.
Acton was different. He was not only a bannerman, but also a close friend of Yuzhu's age who was known to the old emperor.
To put it bluntly, with Yuzhu's overwhelming power, promoting several Jinshi in the same year is simply not worth mentioning.
After the host and guest sat down again, Yuzhu said with a smile: "I am also very lucky. When the emperor lost his temper, I happened to be by his side."
Yuzhu said it very politely and his attitude was very humble.
However, Actun knew in his heart that his promotion to governor of Shandong was absolutely inseparable from Yuzhu's strong support.
