Lao Tong's family had a big banquet, which lasted for six days, and it finally came to an end.
Under normal circumstances, the study masters who are on duty must enter the palace and take their places at 16:30 every day (4:30 in the morning).
Yuzhu is different. He is both the chief master of the study room and a bachelor of the Wenhua Palace. He is a proper and important official of Manchuria.
It is no exaggeration to say that among the prime ministers of this dynasty, apart from Song Zhu, the chief scholar of Manchuria, Yuzhu has the most noble status.
Even if the status of the prime minister in this dynasty is not as good as before, he is still the prime minister and has the necessary dignity.
"Master, it's time to get up."
"Master, it's time to get up."
Yuzhu woke up from a deep sleep in the woman's low voice.
When he opened his eyes, he saw Wu Meiniang staring at him with a pair of beautiful eyes, looking at him extremely anxiously.
Yuzhu turned over and asked lazily: "What time is it?"
Wu Meiniang had just looked at her pocket watch and immediately replied: "Master, it's already 7:07 (6:45 in the morning)."
"Oh, it's still early, let me take another nap." Yuzhu wanted to go back to sleep, but Wu Meiniang was about to burst into tears and persuaded her in a trembling voice, "Master, we can't delay teaching the princes."
The Qing Dynasty was a typical patriarchal society, and Yuzhu was the god of the house and could do whatever he wanted.
However, Wu Meiniang, who has not yet formally raised her concubine, must obey the instructions of Duchess Xiuyun.
If Yuzhu wakes up late, Xiuyun does not dare to complain to him, but he has a thousand ways to torment Wu Meiniang unscrupulously.
Last time, Wu Meiniang just made a small mistake and was forced to stand for an hour by Xiuyun.
How could a woman who was originally so charming and charming have ever suffered like this?
In a wealthy family, there are many beauties and many right and wrong.
As the saying goes, if there are no rules, there will be no rules.
Xiuyun deliberately pretended to be a doctor and took the opportunity to clean up Wu Meiniang's affairs. Yuzhu knew it immediately.
However, if a man intervenes rashly when an older woman disciplines a younger woman, it will do great damage to Xiuyun's prestige.
Besides, although Wu Meiniang is extremely beautiful, she comes from a small family and she really needs to adapt to the rules of a top wealthy family to avoid suffering big losses in the future.
Xiuyun was originally as beautiful as a fairy, and she was the royal duchess whom the old emperor granted her in marriage. She also gave birth to a pair of legitimate sons for Yuzhu.
It is no exaggeration to say that Xiuyun's position in the Tong family is as stable as Mount Tai, and no one can shake it.
Yuzhu knew very well that he was torturing the young women to establish his power as a big woman, but Xiuyun didn't even bother with it.
Wu Meiniang was afraid of being punished and wanted to persuade her, but Yu Zhu reached out and fished her into the couch.
There is no way, Yuzhu is well maintained, his body is extremely strong, and he is full of vitality when he wakes up in the morning.
The fun lasted for a while, until at six o'clock in the morning, Yuzhu let Wu Meiniang go and reluctantly got up to change her clothes.
After breakfast, Wu Meiniang served Yuzhu and changed into court clothes.
According to the system, the crown of the Duke of Zhen is decorated with two layers of gold dragons, five Katong pearls, a ruby on the top, a double-eye-hole flower feather, a four-clawed square python to patch up the clothes, a robe made of sable fur, and a moon-white satin lining.
.
What is special is that the court belt of the Zhen Guogong is a special golden color to distinguish it from ordinary ministers.
After Yuzhu boarded the official sedan chair, he wandered to Xihua Gate...
In the Qing Dynasty, even the prime minister could only ride in a small sedan chair as long as he was in the capital.
However, Yuzhu is the Duke of Zhenguo, and the eight-carriage sedan chair is the level treatment he deserves.
To put it bluntly, among the current prime ministers, the only one who is qualified to sit in the eight-carriage sedan chair is Yu Zhongtang.
To be honest, if Yuzhu was reinstated as the infantry commander, he would never be so public.
However, the old emperor ascended and descended secretly, hung up the jade pillar, and made it an idle job. Shouldn't the jade pillar be allowed to show off its majesty, show off, and enjoy the official power?
"Please be in peace at Yuzhongtang."
"Please be in peace at Yuzhongtang."
Even if they are not Yuzhu's old subordinates, the guards guarding the door in front of Xihua Gate know how powerful he is.
Everyone bowed respectfully, bowed their waists, and welcomed Yu Zhongtang into the palace.
Originally, the old emperor had been given the special treatment of being rewarded with jade pillars and riding horses in the Forbidden City.
However, Yuzhu knew in his heart that although his status was high, he was too young.
If you dare to make a mistake, you will be completely drowned in the saliva of the censors before you leave the palace.
However, as the Duke of Zhenguo, Yuzhu was qualified to bring two young eunuchs into the palace and serve them personally.
Not to mention anything else, this treatment alone is an instant hit. The chief Manchurian scholar Song Zhu.
Because when Song Zhu went to work in the cabinet hall, there was only one eunuch serving him.
Not only that, the little eunuch who serves Song Zhu is not fixed. Today it is Zhang San, tomorrow it may be Li Si, and the day after tomorrow it may be Wang Ermazi.
But Yuzhu's personal eunuchs were Qin Ding and Yan Lin brought from the mansion.
These two little eunuchs have been serving Yuzhu for almost ten years.
Can Songzhu, which has no title so far, be comparable?
Well, they are totally incomparable!
The upper study room where the princes study is in the veranda on the east side of Qianqing Gate.
From a distance, Yuzhu heard the sound of reading loudly coming from the room, and he couldn't help but smile.
Kang Mazi's method of educating his son was simple and crude, but very effective.
At exactly five o'clock in the morning, the princes entered the upper study and took their seats.
After the master saluted, the prince began to recite Confucian classics.
According to the rule that "the book must be memorized one hundred and twenty times", each time it is memorized, draw a mark and memorize it a full number of times. After the master checks that a word is good, he will draw another paragraph to recite.
In the study room, there was no concept of recess. The princes could only hold back if they wanted to go to the latrine.
Yuzhu knew the rules very well. Even though he was the chief master, he just waited quietly in front of the study room.
When the room became quiet, the young eunuch Qin Ding shouted in a very smart and deep voice: "Yuzhong Hall, here we come."
Before the voice fell, Yuzhu had already stepped forward and appeared in front of the study room door with a smile.
Zhang Tingyu, who was on duty, saw Yuzhu coming, and quickly came over and bowed in salute.
"Meet Yuzhongtang."
After Yuzhu returned the gift, he walked slowly to the center of the room.
"Meet my mentor." The princes stood up one after another, clasped their fists and bowed their hands in salute.
How dare I safely accept the gift of a prince?
Yuzhu turned sideways to avoid the salutes of the princes. Unexpectedly, out of the corner of his eyes, he saw a burly old acquaintance.
Hey, if that’s not the tragic Old Thirteen, then who is it?
The old emperor issued a decree that princes without titles or errands, no matter how old they are, must stay in the study room and study hard.
Lao Shisan, who is four years older than Yuzhu, is already thirty-five years old this year. Not only does he not have a title, he also has no serious job.
There was no other way, no matter how reluctant Old Thirteen was, he could only accompany his younger brothers to study in the study room.
