After dinner and drinking tea, Long Keduo asked Yuzhu: "After the funeral is over, you don't plan to live outside, do you?"
Yuzhu put down the tea cup in his hand and said seriously: "Amma, look at what you said. The emperor ordered me, Ding You, to stay in control, how could I live outside? But, it doesn't hurt to take a dip in the hot springs occasionally.
"
Longkodo nodded and said, "In that case, let's leave all the housekeeping affairs to your wife, right?"
Originally, when I lived outside, I was always Xiuyun's housekeeper.
After moving into Tongfu Hutong, Li Si'er suddenly stepped in and took over the stewardship.
However, Li Si'er's little knowledge was completely insufficient when it came to funerals.
In fact, it really doesn't matter to Yuzhu whether he manages the family or not.
With Yuzhu's strong family background, why would he care about the housekeeper's small income?
However, Yuzhu still wants Xiuyun to be the housekeeper.
After all, if this woman is idle all day, something will happen to her sooner or later.
You can't let your wife be too busy, that's what Yuzhu had in mind.
Li Si'er on the side glanced at Longkodo and then at Yuzhu. She opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but she didn't dare to speak.
Alas, Li Si'er had only been housekeeper for a few days, and he almost made a big joke, which made Longkodo so angry that smoke was coming out of his nostrils.
The father and son handed over the power of the housekeeper to Xiuyun in front of Li Si'er.
Li Si'er has no temper at all.
In the past, when Li Si'er and Long Ke had quarrels, they could ask Yu Zhu to comment.
Now, okay, the father and son are standing together, and Li Si'er can only stare.
The situation in their family is actually quite delicate.
Before Yuzhu passed the Jinshi examination, Longkoduo loved Yuzhu because he liked Li Si'er.
After Yuzhu rose to prominence, Longkoduo also paid more and more attention to Yuzhu's attitude. He liked to discuss with Yuzhu no matter how big or small the matter was.
Forty-nine days later, on the day of mourning, the streets in the capital were filled with mourning tents set up by dignitaries.
The scene seemed spectacular, but Longkoduo and Yuzhu, who were wearing sackcloth and mourning, were miserable.
Every time they passed a memorial shed, Longkodo and Yuzhu came forward together and knelt to thank the owner of the memorial shed for his deep friendship.
Longkodo's sphere of influence was only in the Bujun Yamen.
Yuzhu was different. He had been a bachelor, entered Nanshufang, served as governor of two provinces, served as general three times, and was also the leader of the Zhenglan Banner.
Good guys, Longkodo and Yuzhu, almost every few steps they take, they have to kowtow in return, and so on.
As time went by, Longkodo was getting older after all, and he couldn't bear it anymore.
Yuzhu saw that Longkodo's face turned blue and hot sweat broke out on his forehead, so he leaned over and whispered: "Ama, this family can live without me, but it can never live without you at the helm."
On a cold day, Yuzhu's words are like a stream of warmth, which makes people extremely comfortable.
Longkodo raised his hand to wipe away the tears on his face, and whispered: "Zhu'er, Ama is indeed old, and her body and bones are no longer of use."
Yuzhu quickly said: "Amma, I still need you to take care of Lao Si and Lao Twelve. Come on, go quickly, don't hesitate, I'm here ahead."
Longkodo looked at Yuzhu with great relief, raised his hand on his shoulder, patted him hard, and sighed: "Sure, I haven't hurt you for decades in vain."
Looking at Long Ke's retreating back, Yuzhu thought to himself, could it be said that only the fourth child is good at emotional investment?
Damn, how could the so-called parallel import uncle be closer than his biological son?
To this day, Longko has stayed in the position of Admiral of the Nine Gates for quite a long time!
Objectively speaking, Longkodo has made enough money and has many children and grandchildren. Not only is he extremely favored, but he is also a first-class public servant.
He is a very popular minister, and may not be very popular, but he is undoubtedly in control of the real power.
So far, Yuzhu has only a few thousand new troops at his disposal.
With such a small manpower, coupled with the nearly 10,000 people from Zhenglan Banner, it is not difficult to launch a sudden attack, but it is difficult to completely control the overall situation of the entire capital.
Objectively speaking, as long as Longkoduo is lured onto Yuzhu's pirate ship, hey, big things can be done in the short term!
Therefore, for so many years, no matter how much power Yuzhu had, he was always extremely affectionate towards Longkodo and basically obeyed his words.
The closeness between father and son is not only an emotional reward for Longkodo's great care in the past, but also does it not have some long-term interests in mind?
As the saying goes, a horse's strength can be seen through a long journey, and a person's heart can be seen through time.
More than ten years of close interaction every day can speak volumes.
After all, they are father and son, whether they are really affectionate or fake, after so many years, Yilong Laosan's experience can definitely be seen.
Longkodo has both power and money, but he only lacks father's love since childhood.
Therefore, according to Yuzhu's private speculation, the fourth child actually did not spend much resources, and only used sweet words to control Longkodo's emotions, and finally had the last laugh.
In front of Longkodo, Yuzhu never said a bad word about Lao Si.
However, Yuzhu has always taken great pains to let Longkodo know from the side about the various signs of the fourth child's meanness and unkindness.
Complaining against someone is actually a profound university question.
Among them, directly filing a complaint and accusing the fourth child of being bad is actually the least effective and least effective way, and must be resolutely abandoned.
Starting from the side, through invisible reminders from irrelevant others, over time, it is possible to influence Longkodo's position choice at the most critical moment.
Longkodo went to the back to rest, and Yuzhu had to kneel down and kowtow in return after walking a few steps. It was really extremely hard.
However, how can we give up halfway when it comes to fighting for feelings?
Yuzhu gritted his teeth and persisted until Tong Guowei's coffin was about to be buried in the ancestral grave in Shijingshan.
Seeing Longkodo kneeling in front of him, Yuzhu had an idea and simply closed his eyes, and his whole body fell softly at Longkodo's feet.
"Zhu'er, Zhu'er..." Long Laosan was so frightened that he couldn't care less that the funeral was at its most critical moment. He picked up Yuzhu's limp body and shouted at the top of his lungs, "Hurry and call the family doctor.
Tell Wang Langzhong that he is late and I will chop up his whole family..."
The fourth child was nearby, and when he saw this scene, he couldn't help but frown.
As the saying goes, a friend in need is a friend indeed.
Longkodo's true feelings were revealed at the critical moment, which made the old man feel mixed feelings and cast a shadow in his heart.
The relationship between the Tong family and his son is so deep. Will Longkodo really be at his mercy in the future?
Lao Twelve, who was side by side with Lao Si, was still a little younger after all. He thought it was time to make friends with Yu Zhu, so he quickly ran over and pinched Yu Zhu's man.
The fourth child looked deeply at the twelfth child, and his frown suddenly relaxed.
