As soon as Yuzhu's feet landed on the ground outside the second door, Tong Shijiu, the confidant of Longkodo's side, bent over and bowed his head.
"Bless me, Second Master." Tong Shijiu knelt down obediently and saluted.
Yuzhu nodded and asked Tong Shijiu gently: "Get up. Why is the old man anxious to see me?"
Tong Shijiu glanced at the surroundings, lowered his head deeply, and whispered: "Back to the second master, the old master didn't order us to come down. I don't know. However, there are distinguished guests in the house. Judging from the appearance, they look like scholars from the Imperial College."
Yuzhu's eyes flashed slightly, and he understood instantly.
As we all know, Lao Ba and Lao Si are neighbors. They both live opposite the Imperial College.
Lao Ba and Longkodo have no relationship, so the distinguished guests here are sent by Lao Si.
Tong Shijiu seemed to be very tight-lipped, but in fact, he told Yu Zhu everything he shouldn't have said.
Yuzhu was very satisfied with Tong Shijiu's knowledge, so he said casually: "Do a good job."
Tong Shijiu suppressed the secret joy in his heart, bowed and said: "With the grace of the master, all the servants in the house can live a good life as long as they work hard and do their errands."
Yuzhu couldn't help but smile slightly, this Tong Shijiu could be said to have a lot of knowledge.
Logically speaking, the servants around Longkodo are not allowed to reveal the things around him.
However, Tong Shijiu did not betray Longkodo and told Yuzhu the truth. How smart is this?
On the way back, Yuzhu had already guessed that the fourth child was probably going to take action.
Originally, the best person to intercede with Yuzhu was Lao Shisan.
However, Lao Shisan was locked up in the study room to study, and Lao Si didn't want people to know about his relationship with Yuzhu, so through Longkodo's conveyance, it was much more hidden.
Sure enough, when Yuzhu came in, he saw an old acquaintance.
I saw Nian Gengyao's sister-in-law and Yuzhu's classmate at Jiuhua Academy, Hu Fenghui (hui), holding her hands with a smile and saying: "Brother Jieqing, you are well!"
More than ten years ago, under the guidance of his teacher Tang Bing, Yuzhu studied with Hu Fenghui, Zhang Tinglu, Yu Hongtu, Wu Sidao and others while studying in the south.
However, in the blink of an eye, when the classmates meet again, things have changed and people have changed.
Today, Yuzhu is the second prime minister of the dynasty, powerful and popular.
Hu Fenghui's knowledge was not very solid, he failed in many tests, his reputation fell from the Sun Mountain, and he is still just a junior.
As for Zhang Tinglu, she studied very hard, but she was unlucky and failed the exam five times.
Fortunately, there is God's blessing.
In the fifty-seventh year of Kangxi's reign, Zhang Tinglu finally became famous in one battle, won the second place in the rankings, and was awarded the title of Editor of the Hanlin Academy. She was regarded as a distinguished ancestor.
As for Yu Hongtu, in the fifty-first year of Kangxi's reign, as soon as he was admitted as a Jinshi, he received the bad news that his father had died.
Unexpectedly, after Yu Hongtu returned to his hometown to observe mourning for three years, he was about to write a letter to Yuzhu to ask for his recovery, when his mother Ding worried again.
After arranging his parents' funeral arrangements, Yu Hongtu fell seriously ill again and was bedridden, almost losing his life.
After going back and forth like this, ten years have passed, and Yu Hongtu is still staying in his hometown of Haiyan, Zhejiang.
According to the rules of the banner, Hu Fenghui is a bannerman of the Han Army with a white flag. When he sees Yuzhu, he should at least make a bow.
However, Hu Fenghui relied on his fourth son's favor and had the experience of being a classmate with Yuzhu, so he just shamelessly approached her and deliberately just held his hands and bowed.
Although they had not contacted each other for many years, they were old classmates after all. Yuzhu did not pretend to be a prime minister. He took Hu Fenghui's arm affectionately and introduced him to Longkodo with enthusiasm.
"Amma, Brother Hu is an old classmate of your son and I, and we have a close relationship with each other." Seeing Hu Fenghui's smile, Yuzhu deliberately joked, "Brother Hu and I have always shared blessings, but we have different difficulties."
when."
After Longkodo heard this, he couldn't help laughing and gasped: "Okay, what a good person who doesn't take the trouble!"
Hu Fenghui was obviously very embarrassed, but he deliberately laughed along with Longkodo, as if Yuzhu was not teasing him.
Yuzhu nodded secretly, Lao Hu was still the same Lao Hu as before. Not only was he extremely alert, but he was also still thick-skinned.
After the guests and hosts were seated, because the matter was so important, Longkodo was entrusted by his fourth son, so he turned to look at Yuzhu and asked him proactively: "I heard that Wu Ya's Bo Qi caused a big disaster?"
Yuzhu blinked. Longkodo deliberately did not mention De Fei, but mentioned the Wuya family, obviously to reduce the sensitivity of the incident.
Unlike ordinary people, Longkodo has been sitting on the throne of the Nine Admirals for more than ten years. He is an out-and-out Baixiaosheng in the capital, a local snake with extremely good ears and eyes.
Moreover, when it came to Bo Qi's beating, people from Bujun Yamen had already been on the scene to control the situation, so it was impossible for Longkodo not to know the inside story.
Since Hu Fenghui was present, Yuzhu pondered the words, and Bo Qi explained the whole story of the beating.
The fundamental reason why Longkodo has been able to climb to the high position he is today is that he is extremely good at figuring out the intentions of his superiors.
After listening to what Yuzhu said, Longkodo also realized that the matter was very difficult, and sighed: "Oh, Bo Qi is too impulsive. He has neither a title nor an official position, and he dares to beat the yellow belt Lord Beile.
This is like eating the heart of a bear and the courage of a leopard."
Hu Fenghui heard that Longkodo had a hint of retreat, and felt anxious, so he raised his hands and said: "Uncle, after all, this Bo Qi is the fourth master's biological uncle. If he is beheaded, the fourth master's dignity will definitely be destroyed."
Nothing left."
Yuzhu glanced at Hu Fenghui and was secretly amused. Although this kid was full of cleverness, he was extremely confused about big things.
Oh, Bo Qi is the biological uncle of the fourth child, so doesn’t Longkodo become the fake uncle of the fourth child?
To be honest, when Queen Tong Jia of Xiaoyi was alive, she always raised her fourth child as her own son.
Not only that, Longkodo also loved the fourth child as if he were a close nephew.
It was not until the death of Empress Xiaoyi that Lao Si found out that his biological mother was actually Concubine De.
At this time, the fourth child was already fourteen years old.
In other words, the fourth child had always thought that Longkodo was his biological uncle and the Tongjia clan was his maternal clan.
As the saying goes, the mother-in-law is the uncle!
To put it bluntly, Longkodo is willing to support the fourth son to rise to power, and what he cares most about is his uncle's identity.
Now, well, Hu Fenghui just opened his mouth and praised Bo Qi to the sky. How could he not severely offend Longkodo?
"Ama..." Just as Yuzhu was about to soothe his cheeks, he saw Longkodo holding up the teacup with a livid face, but he never drank.
"Send off guests!" After Tong Jiujiu received the signal, he immediately raised his voice and shouted loudly.
After the eviction order was issued, Hu Fenghui, no matter how smart he was, had no choice but to leave in despair.
Before Hu Fenghui could walk out of the courtyard, he suddenly heard the sound of shattering porcelain falling to the ground one after another from behind, "Bang, bang, crash!"
"Humph, that's too much to bully. Bo Qi is his biological uncle, so who am I, Long Lao San?" Long Keduo was already extremely arrogant. After being touched, he finally couldn't bear it and exploded.
