lied to Kangxi

Chapter 103 The Night Owl Enters the House

Yu Zhu took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "I still need to review my homework and strive to pass the Gongshi examination as soon as possible. The two disciples and grandchildren have you, Mr. Laoen, so I have to worry a lot."

Tang Bing's face was thick enough, and he said without blinking: "Since the old man can teach Jie Yuan disciples, he is just a mere child, so what's the point?"

Now, if Yuzhu wants to take away the two grandsons, Tang Bing really dares to slap the table and scold his mother.

Tang Bing's method of teaching students is actually similar to Kangxi's method, which is a terrible force-feeding method.

The situation of the endorsement was randomly checked every day, and the emperor's grandson who couldn't recite the book would grab his little hand with haha ​​beads and beat him twenty times.

Then force the emperor to recite 120 times, plus recite 120 times until he is completely memorized.

Although this method of education is very rude and barbaric, it really works.

Among Kangxi's many sons, even the most uneducated idiot ten elder brothers can fully understand official documents and even write a few crooked poems.

"Well, the two disciples and grandchildren will be taught to you, my mentor." Yu Zhu felt relaxed with joy.

To be honest, he is only sixteen years old, even if he is very patient, he is too lazy to teach children to read all day long.

Anyway, there is absolutely no harm in letting Tang Bing and the emperor's grandchildren get closer.

It's only been a few days since the emperor's grandchildren came to study?

Seventh elder brother's housekeeper has come to give Tang Bing several gifts.

The fifth elder brother was even more amazing, and even sent a handsome 17-year-old girl to warm Tang Bing's bed.

On the day that handsome girl delivered it, Mrs. Zhou, Yuzhu's teacher's wife, was so angry that she trembled all over.

However, in order to thank Tang Bing for his kindness in teaching his son, Lord Wubeile gave him nothing more than a toy, which is perfectly justifiable.

No matter how upset Mrs. Zhou was, she didn't dare to complain and refuse that pretty girl to come in.

These days, Tang Bing can be said to be proud of his horseshoe disease, and he is in a very good mood!

Tang Bing, who was in good spirits on happy occasions, said with a smile, "According to the old man, you already have everything you need, and the only thing you need to do is to enter the Gongyuan. Hehe, what you need now is not to study hard behind closed doors, but to relax and unwind."

This is a pun, with an endless aftertaste, and a strong peachy atmosphere!
Yuzhu pursed his lips and smiled. Tang Bing was already in his 40s, and it was inevitable that he could still grow new branches from an old tree and crush a begonia with pear blossoms.

In the blink of an eye, it is the Spring Festival.

Banner people, most of them have a good face and love to be lively, and they have to make trouble for at least a month to welcome and send off during the Spring Festival.

The Spring Festival celebrated by banner people, which is the current Lichun, focuses on the day before, which is called Baochun.

The Spring Festival is the New Year's Eve for banner people, and this day must be celebrated in a lively manner.

In this era, the real luxury is only a few big nobles who are in power.

There are a large number of people in the family, and ordinary bannermen who can only get a fixed amount of money every month to barely make ends meet actually account for the vast majority.

On the day of heralding spring, ordinary bannermen in Sijiu City will first stir-fry chives, shredded pork, vermicelli, bean sprouts, and tender spinach together, which is called combined vegetables.

Ordinary subordinates can't afford meat.However, banner people love face, and put a spread of egg pancakes on the top of the dish, which becomes "wearing a hat with vegetables", and has an auspicious name: full of gold and silver.

The authentic bannermen in Sijiu City never speak of eggs, they call them chickens.Chicken is considered a meat dish.

Banner people are fastidious and like to have elegant names.Spreading eggs is called spreading yellow vegetables, and fried meat with eggs is called sweet-scented osmanthus meat.

When the southerners went to restaurants in Sijiu City, they heard the waiter offer "wo guozi" as a dish, thinking it was a kind of dessert, but what they served were poached eggs.

Yuzhu's family, starting from his great-grandfather Tong Tulai, is not a real bannerman.

Long Kedo is a gangster, Li Si'er is a pungent shabby, Yuzhu is a modern greasy uncle with a soul, and Yuyan is an unruly chick.

Anyway, at home, everyone will come along as they please.All kinds of random names are flying all over the sky, and there is no such thing as a serious bannerman.

In fact, a Manchurian minister like Longkodo who wields great power and has plenty of money at home, isn’t it the New Year’s day?
In addition, the population of Yu Zhu's family is small, and there are only four serious masters.

In previous years, in order to join in the fun, Li Si'er always called Liu Mama, Hongmei and the others to the table together.

Long Ke Duo knew that he had broken the rules and had no rules, so he didn't dare to say anything.

Li Si'er was really annoyed, he took a feather duster and dared to whip Mr. Long all over the room.

From the day of the Spring Festival to the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, the half moon has no size.Even if the servants make mistakes, they don't want to beat and scold them on the spot, and they have to wait until the festival to settle the ledger.

The night of the Spring Festival, that is, the night of New Year's Eve, is the most important thing about "staying up for the new year".Everyone waited until dawn before going to sleep.

Idle is also idle, Longkodo took the jade pillar, drank tea, and chatted with melon seeds.

"This time, the emperor gave you the word, hehe, it has infinite uses." Long Kedo twitched his beard and smiled triumphantly.

No matter how wise Kangxi was, he still fell for his tricks.

Before the test, Jinshang specially bestowed a letter on Yuzhu.The connotation in it is enough for the main examiner and fellow examiners to think about it for half a month.

When Kangxi punished officials, he was often charged with falsely assuming holy intentions.

However, if you don't try to figure out the holy will, how can you get promoted and make a fortune?
This creates a paradox.

The emperor publicly said that guessing my mind is not allowed, and anyone who guesses randomly will be punished.

The actual operation rule is that whoever guesses the meaning of the emperor correctly will be successful, without exception.

Yuzhu smiled slightly, Longkodo was so powerful, Kangxi was still in the dark before he died, right?
"Thank you, Ama, for your care." Yuzhu didn't agree with Longkodo's flamboyance and corruption, and Ama cried out willingly.

"You are my own son, and you are not a wild species picked up, so why thank you?" Longkodo was unhappy, staring at Yuzhu, and reprimanded, "I raised you until you were 16 years old, do you think I have ever spent money like that?" How much money did you spend? Isn’t it all in your pocket? Why do you want so much money? Isn’t it for you?”

Longkodo was extremely patriarchal, so Yuyan was naturally ignored by him.

In Longkodo's view, Yuyan is a chick, and she will choose a good husband's family in the future, and marry a more generous dowry, that is, someone else's daughter-in-law.

Yuzhu is the pillar on which Longkodo and Li Si'er can rely on for the elderly!
Li Si'er is most jealous of the word wild species, she slapped the kang table and said angrily: "Yu Zhu is a wild species, so what am I?"

Since ancient times, one thing has dropped one thing!
Longkodo, who dared to beat his own father, was afraid of Li Si'er. He waved his hands repeatedly and said, "I mean, all the money I got back was used to marry him."

"Hmph, what about Yuyan?"

Longkodo loves Yuzhu very much, and Li Si'er feels very comfortable, but deliberately uses Yuyan to talk about it.

"Hey, my own little girl is married, and the dowry is 120 taels, and even one is indispensable." Long Keduo said so, but he thought in his heart that the dowry would be 30 taels of silver at most. Probably more.

In Li Si'er's pocket, there was a huge amount of 500 million taels of dirty money hidden, most of which must have been given to Yu Zhu.As for Yuyan, the 40 taels of dowry will come to an end soon, this is the bottom line in her heart.

Unless it is a one-daughter family, parents in this era, in most cases, have extremely serious patriarchal thoughts, with few exceptions.

"Ama, Ernie, what are you talking about? Talk about it again, I won't be with you through the year."

Yuyan is only nine years old.However, people in this era are generally precocious, and she already knows a lot of things.

"My lord, the red sandalwood is not enough, let's make more homes." Li Si'er was very satisfied with Longkodo's attitude of loving his son, but he always talked about the matter with Yuyan.

This is a serious matter, Longkodo hastily agreed.

In this era, as long as the rich families really love their daughters, they will start to collect high-quality wood and rare pearls and jade materials little by little from the time when their daughters are very young.

Some top quality woods, for example, rosewood, yellow rosewood or rosewood.This is a good thing that is difficult to buy with a temporary amount of money.

As a parent, you must collect them little by little on weekdays.

Before the daughter got married, professionals were sent to measure the various dimensions of the new house, and then skilled craftsmen under the Ministry of Internal Affairs or the Ministry of Industry were invited to help make the furniture.

In the Qing Dynasty, it is impossible to have a particularly powerful folk carpenter.

The reason is actually very simple. All skilled craftsmen were forcibly taken away by the government.

After the re-opening, the country has money, and the State Administration of Cultural Heritage and the Palace Museum both want to restore the broken floor tiles in the Forbidden City.

As a result, the State Administration of Cultural Heritage sent experts to search all over the country, but no one could repair the old ones, so they could only let them continue to be damaged day by day.

To put it bluntly, the special kiln-making brick-making technology in the palace has been completely lost!

"Well, good son, what should be done for you, and what can be done for you, I've laid the groundwork for you, Ama. There's no way, what Ama can do is still limited, and it's impossible to do more."

Longkodo secretly thought it was a pity.If his direct sister, Empress Xiaoyiren, the adoptive mother of the fourth elder brother, was still alive, there would be even more groundwork for the emperor in advance.

It's a pity, bird, this Concubine Tong in the palace is only surnamed Tong, and has not really entered Kangxi's heart.

Yuzhu is by no means a moral character, let alone a fool who has the right to use it. He is grateful to Longkodo for everything he has done for him from the bottom of his heart.

"Ama, my son won't say thank you."

The real father and son of flesh and blood, thank you, is indeed born.

Long Keduo was very happy, touched his chin, and smiled proudly: "My good son, you really cheered me up. Many of the old guys who used to look down on you, Ama, took the initiative to say hello to me, and opened their mouths to say hello. , third son Long, you gave birth to a good son." He smiled like a flower.

That night, the four members of Long's elder family sat around the kang table and shared family happiness.

Not long after the evening drum sounded at three o'clock in the morning, the porter suddenly came to report that Tong Liu, the housekeeper next to the old man, had arrived and was waiting in the porter's room.

"Tell him to come in." When Longkodo heard that Tong Liu was here, his expression darkened. It must be no good for a night owl to enter the house.
