The three people here are of the same age and are also old brothers.
In this situation, you must say polite words, but you can't say too many, otherwise it will be annoying.
Therefore, Acton changed the topic and said extremely sincerely: "Zhongtang, I am so timid, I would like to ask you to appoint a few good helpers."
Yuzhu smiled slightly. After a disciple takes up an official position, it is more or less necessary to bring a few people with him to the appointment. This is already an established rule.
Actun took the initiative to propose that people who want to use jade pillars have extremely high emotional intelligence and knowledge.
If it is a lump of elm wood that cannot be awakened, it will be easy to offend others.
However, Yuzhu had other plans. He shook his head and said, "I don't have many people in my pocket. I keep it for myself. If it's not enough, I won't cause trouble for you."
As soon as these words came out, Acton was truly grateful.
There are no people around Yuzhu to restrain him, but he enjoys the protection of Yuzhu. Such a governor of Shandong is very tough!
In the Qing Dynasty, there were several governors who were particularly likely to attract the attention of the old emperor.
The first is the governor-general of Zhili (also the governor), the second is the governor of Jiangnan and Jiangsu Province, and the third is the governor of Shandong.
As the governor of Shandong, his main responsibility was to ensure the smooth flow of water transportation and the unbroken flow of the Yellow River.
Once the water transportation is cut off, the millions of soldiers and civilians in the capital will have to drink from the northwest wind. This is the top priority of the country.
More importantly, in the entire Grand Canal basin, Shandong had the most violent folk customs and the largest number of water works. It was easy for people to gather and cause trouble, which caused a special headache for the court.
Of course, Yuzhu would remind Acton of what the old emperor was most concerned about.
"Old man, please forgive me for being blunt. In Shandong's government affairs, everything else is trivial. There are only two big things, one is water transportation and the other is river engineering."
Because he was one of his own, Yuzhu carefully told Acton the most taboo parts of the old emperor's story.
Acton had a very good memory, and he remembered everything Yuzhu said in his mind.
After the business talk was over, Yuzhu led Acton and Seleng'e to sit down together.
While waiting for the banquet to start, Acton thought for a moment, then smiled and said: "Zhongtang, I haven't seen your eldest brother for a long time. There are no outsiders here, why don't you invite your eldest brother to come over and have a drink together?"
"
In its wealthy families, all boys over the age of eleven are required to learn to drink, and Xiao Xuanyu is no exception.
Note: The eldest brother of a banner family means the eldest son in the family, not specifically the prince.
In other words, the eldest son of any banner family can be called the eldest brother.
Akdun is Yuzhu's confidant, why should trivial matters matter?
So, Xiao Xuanyu was invited in.
"My son, I wish you well."
"That's all. Come and see your uncle and Sebo." Yuzhu waved his hand and told Xiaoxuanyu to pay homage to Actun and Seleng'e.
"My nephew, I wish you well."
"My nephew, please be safe, Seb."
Seeing that Xiao Xuanyu was very respectful and meticulous in her salutes, Acton couldn't help but nodded secretly. He had to admit that he was really a good tutor.
In this era of official families, the choice of who to follow for a long time depends not only on the power of the family head, but also on the upbringing of the eldest son of the family.
With Yuzhu's overwhelming power, Xiaoxuan Yu was named Lao Twenty's companion, but in fact, he became Lao Twenty's protective umbrella.
According to the gossip from the palace, as long as Xiao Xuanyu is present, no one dares to bully Old Twenty.
In other words, Xiao Xuanyu is lucky if he doesn't bully others.
Who doesn’t understand the principle of a fox pretending to be a tiger’s power?
The Jiaqing Emperor had already ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, and he still had to carefully watch He Zhongtang's eyes before acting. The main reason was that Emperor Qianlong was still alive.
As soon as Qianlong died, Emperor Jiaqing killed He Zhongtang. Moreover, the process of death was extremely easy, no more difficult than strangling a chicken.
I think back then, after Yuan Xiangcheng used the support of the Beiyang Army to usurp the Qing Dynasty, Duan Qirui and Feng Guozhang, among the three heroes of Beiyang, had the opportunity to take over.
However, Yuan Gongbao was smart all his life, but he was confused for a while. In his later years, he actually went back to the routine of his family and the world.
When President Yuan Da proclaimed himself emperor, he completely cut off Duan, Feng and others' desire to ascend the throne, which directly led to the split of the Beiyang Army.
The Beiyang army was disobedient, and Yuan Datou was forced to cancel the proclaimed emperor, and soon he died of anger.
This so-called, Tai'a supports the enemy and backfires on his master!
During the banquet, there was Yuzhu sitting there, so Xiaoxuanyu could only stand by the table, serving him tea and pouring wine.
However, since Actun dared to invite Xiao Xuanyu over, he also knew Yuzhu's temper, so he suggested again: "In the middle hall, I am very happy today. I dare you to give me a seat and let the eldest brother spend more time with us."
How many drinks would you like?"
As the saying goes, when one goes to the countryside, do as the Romans do. Yuzhu has been in the Qing Dynasty for more than ten years and has been more or less influenced by the ethics.
However, Yuzhu is the soul of modern people after all. The so-called concept of father and son sitting on different seats is a little bit, but not deep.
"Since Uncle has spoken for you, why don't you sit next to Uncle and Seb and have a few more drinks with them?" Yuzhu also knew that his son had a good drinking capacity. Since the atmosphere was very good, he didn't
It’s no longer necessary to act like a faction, so let’s just have fun together.
However, after the banquet, when Xiao Xuanyu saw off the guests for Yuzhu, Acton forced two pretty little girls to him.
After Xiuyun learned the news, she almost fainted and came straight to Yuzhu.
"Sir, your eldest brother is not yet an adult. What kind of ambition does he have?" Xiuyun, who never gets angry easily, was really offended. Like a predatory lioness, she insisted on finding a man.
Break it down clearly.
Yuzhu knew that Xiuyun was just like Li Si'er back then, he was extremely protective of his children.
The logic is not complicated. Both of them are afraid that their own sons will be seduced by the girls around them early and become evil.
Xiuyun kept a close eye on Xiao Xuanyu's side, and none of the girls could be called handsome.
Yuzhu picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said calmly: "What big deal do I think it is? Can't you, the mistress of the house, make the decision on such a trivial matter?"
Xiuyun immediately realized that she had lost her composure. What would happen if Xiaoxuanyu accepted the girl Akden sent her? She could just send her away.
Yuzhu almost never interferes in the whole backyard affairs of the house, so isn't it up to Xiuyun to make the decision?
Xiuyun's sudden anger was actually an excuse to vent her dissatisfaction with Yuzhu through her son.
There are all kinds of beautiful women around Yuzhu in an endless stream. No matter how virtuous Xiuyun is, she still has a sour taste.
"Master, I was anxious for a moment and got angry. Please punish me severely." Before Xiuyun could finish her words, she was stopped by Yuzhu and carried into the inner room.
Xiuyun, who is in her early thirties, has become completely ripe, like a peony flower in full bloom.
