Chapter 104 The Art of Gift Giving

"Slave Tong Liu, please be safe with the third master, third wife and second master Yu."

Tong Liu's "Third Wife" was actually yelling out of conscience.

However, even Longkodo's first wife, Hesheli, is still alive and kicking.When he got here, if Tong Liu dared not call the third wife, he would wait to be interrupted.

Longkodo was so annoyed that he even dared to beat his own father, Tong Guowei, in front of the emperor.

Unless Tong Liu was bored with life, even if he had eighty courage, he would never dare to call Li Si'er Aunt Li.

"Tell me, what did the old man ask you to do?" Long Kedo didn't ask Tong Liu to get up, and asked him why he came.

"Back to the third master, the old master said, don't we have a reunion in the Banner family? No, we sent servants to invite the third master, the third wife and the second master Yu back to the ancestral house for a reunion."

Tong Liu really didn't want to go through this experience, but who called him Tong Guowei's Aha?

Aha, it was the unlucky ghost who was used to take the blame at the critical moment!
"Okay, I see, you go back." Long Kedo coldly issued the order to evict the guest, and did not respond to Tong Liu's message at all.

Tong Liu secretly heaved a sigh of relief, it was a blessing that the unscrupulous third son Long didn't ask someone to beat him up.

Yuzhu has been drinking tea quietly, without the slightest intention to speak.

It was so late that Tong Guowei sent Tong Liu to invite them back to the ancestral house, which was obviously a so-called olive branch without sincerity.

What Longko wanted was to take Li Si'er, their mother and son, back to the Tong family's ancestral house in a splendid manner, instead of sneaking around like a thief.

Tong Guowei is old, and Longkodo is in his prime, and he still holds monstrous real power. Time is completely on Longkodo's side.

I sneaked back to the mansion in the middle of the night, was this because I was afraid that outsiders would know?

What's more, Yuzhu has already passed away from high school, and he is about to become an extremely wealthy Manchurian Jinshi, and may even be an unprecedented Manchurian champion.

To put it bluntly, Yuzhu's No.1 status in the third generation of Lao Tong's family is already unbreakable!

On the eve of Yuzhu's upcoming rise, Tong Guowei gave him less face today.In the future, Yuzhu will take nine less care of the old Tong's cousins.

The reason for the nine points is that the internal fighting among one's own people is often more popular than the fighting among outsiders!
The logic is simple.

After Li Shimin Xuanwu sect seized the throne, he killed all the sons of his elder brother Li Jiancheng and his younger brother Li Yuanji, just to wipe out the roots.

It is difficult for an upright official to decide on housework. Tong Guowei's choice is really difficult!
After all, Longkodo's first wife, Little Hesheli, is still alive, and his eldest son, Yue Xing'a, has also married.

However, Yuzhu didn't care about Tong Guowei's embarrassment at all, and didn't want to answer it.

To put it bluntly, if Li Si'er hadn't been thinking about the scenery and went back to Tong's ancestral house, the four of them would just live outside, which is actually very comfortable.

Longkodo has grace and real power.Once Tong Guowei dies, the first-class Duke of Cheng'en will definitely be in his pocket!
Besides, the old Tong's ancestral house is full of dirty and stinky junk.As long as Yuzhu picks it up, he will definitely help wipe his butt endlessly.

Not long ago, Yue Xing'a took advantage of Long Kedo's power, not only snatched the store in a good location, but also broke the owner's leg. This is too evil!

How do you let Yuzhu take care of this kind of shit?Can you handle it?

Of course, Tong Guowei also has something that Yu Zhu is interested in.

Yuzhu's great-grandfather, Tong Tulai, was the head of the Zhenglan Banner Han Army.Tong Guowei, until now, is still the flag owner of the Zhenglan Banner Han Army.

The banner owner is the slave owner.

If Yuzhu had gained the real power of the Zhenglan Banner Han Army, he would have at least two thousand more troops on hand.Hehe, when the mountain collapses, there is one more chance of victory.

Yu Zhu is a super pragmatic guy.What cabinet scholars, ministers of the South Study, these seemingly powerful positions, in his eyes, are all fluff.

The handle of a knife that can be held in the palm of one's hand is the decisive force to change one's destiny, and even change the color of the country!
Tong Liu walked away in disgrace, but Li Si'er's mood was not affected too much, and he was still smiling.

At five o'clock, after the morning bell rang, the night ban in Sijiu City officially ended.

Longkodo, who stayed up all night, was unable to go to sleep. Instead, he changed into formal court clothes, rode to line up outside the Shenwu Gate, and waited for the handing of the sign to enter the palace, congratulating the emperor on the new year.

On the first day of the new year, important court officials of the fourth rank and above, as well as foreign wives of the fourth rank and above, all had to enter the palace to congratulate.

The so-called wives of foreign orders specifically refer to those who have the rank of minister of the fourth rank or above, and are also the first-law wives of ministers with royal titles!

Among them, the courtiers naturally went to kowtow in front of the Qianqing Palace, and the foreign wives went to congratulate the Empress Dowager on the new year.

During the Qianlong Dynasty, the wife of the emperor's brother-in-law Fu Heng, the flowery and jade-like Yehenala family, had to change clothes temporarily after the empress dowager had been treated well.As a result, Qianlong, who was attracted by the sex, was blocked in the side hall and dealt with it.

Qianlong was really shameless, maybe it was a good idea, he insisted on using the name of the empress dowager to keep the Yehenala family in the palace, and after more than a month of happiness, he released the palace.

Then, there is Fukang'an!
According to the records of "Gaozong Shilu", Empress Fucha vomited to death because her younger brother suffered such a great grievance.

After Yuzhu returned to the house, just as she lay down with her arms around Lin Yan'er, she heard Frost's voice outside the window.

"Second Master, the porter came up to report, and the infantry commanded the yamen, and the old man's old subordinate, General Luo Xing'a, came to the door to celebrate the arrival of the New Year."

Yuzhu stayed up all night, too lazy to deal with these nonsense, so he said angrily: "Didn't the concierge Lao Qin tell them that the master has already entered the palace?"

"Back to the second master, Lao Qin has already said it. However, General Luo, when he heard that you were at home, he said the same thing when he saw you."

The words passed by Hanshuang made Yu Zhu laugh.

Come on, obviously can't sleep.

After all, for Longkodo's subordinates, Yuzhu still needs to spend all his time trying to win him over, and it will be of great use in the future.

Yuzhu washed his face with cold water to dispel his drowsiness, changed his clothes and came out to meet the guests.

"Mark Luo Xing'a, and congratulate the second master Yu on a happy new year, and everything goes well." Luo Xing'a saw Yuzhu, and unequivocally plunged down.

This general Luo Xing'a is an old acquaintance.

Last time, Zhao Donghe invited guests to send beauty to Lin Yan'er's third brother, and Luo Xing'a detained even the people and goods.

"Old Luo, don't be so polite, it's too natural." Yu Zhu wanted to win over Luo Xing'a, so his attitude was extraordinarily amiable.

Luo Xing'a couldn't help beaming with joy, and his waist became even lower.

In the city of Sijiu, who doesn't know that Longkodo loves Yuzhu the most?

At the moment when Wu is cheap and Wengui is expensive, Luo Xing'a, a third-rank general in the green camp, is worthless at all!

Longkodo's subordinates include both the Eight Banners soldiers and the Green Battalion soldiers, mainly the Eight Banners soldiers.

Yuzhu is a cautious person, it is impossible for him to get in touch with the middle and senior generals of the Eight Banners infantry battalion at the beginning, he can only start with the green battalion.

Last time, Luo Xing'a wanted to curry favor with Yuzhu, and Yuzhu wanted to win him over again.After two meetings, the atmosphere at the scene couldn't possibly be worse.

Yu Zhu gave up his seat with a smile, and ordered his servants to serve tea, melons, fruits, snacks and candies, and entertained Luo Xing'a very satisfied.

In order to show his intimacy, Yu Zhu deliberately stayed with Luo Xing'a for more than two quarters of an hour to chat, and then served tea to see off the guests.

When Luo Xing'a went out, he saw that his immediate superior, Lieutenant General Gao Ming, was still waiting outside the gate for Yu Zhu to be interviewed, and he couldn't help but feel secretly proud.

"Second Master, there is a 1 taels of silver note in the snack box sent by General Luo Shen."

When Yuzhu came back from seeing off the guests, Hanshuang came to report the unexpected news.

In the past, no one here in Longkodo opened the snack boxes sent by the guests.

Later, a servant accidentally picked up a discarded snack box and found a 5000 tael silver note hidden in it, and handed it over to Li Si'er.

To be honest, if it was 50 taels, he would have dared to give up directly.However, the amount of 5000 taels was too large, even if he took the bank note to the ticket office to cash it, he would be questioned and found out his flaws.

It's very simple.

In order to celebrate the Jieyuan of Yuzhu High School, the fifth elder brother Yinqi specially set up a top-level table of roasted whole suckling lamb in the top Zhimei Building in Sijiu City.

The entire table, including all the expenses including fine wine, was put together, and it cost less than 12 taels of silver.

5000 taels of silver bills are not only impossible to spend on the market, but no store dares to accept such a large denomination.

Those who can go to the ticket office to pay 5000 taels of silver bills are either rich or expensive. No matter how they dress or talk, they cannot be too shabby.

Which of the big shopkeepers in the ticket number is not a human being?All it takes is a careful cross-examination, and the impostor servant will immediately reveal his true colors.

If Longkoduo found out about this, the whole family would definitely be beaten to death, sent to Wudaokou, and fed to wild dogs.

From then on, Hongmei, Hanshuang, these personal maids have an extra job: after the guests leave, they must carefully check the snack boxes.

Yuzhu was holding the 1 taels of silver note in his hand, but his heart was like a bright mirror. It was just a New Year's greeting, and it was impossible to give such a heavy gift.

This general, Luo Xing'a, obviously wanted to bribe Yuzhu to help dredge Longkodo's joints, so that he could climb to the next level and climb to the throne of lieutenant general as soon as possible.

Yu Zhu called Wu Jiang and ordered him to keep the banknote, and return it to Luo Xing'a when he found a chance later.

It was impossible to accept bribes, but Yu Zhu still decided to find a suitable time to help Long Kedo talk and promote Luo Xing'a.

After all, the deputy general of the green camp is not an important general of the two wing generals, and it is the first time for Yuzhu to help someone to be an official. Longkodo will give this face [-]% of the time.

Under the deputy general of the green camp, there are about [-] soldiers and horses.At the critical moment, it is a force that determines the outcome.

After decades of being corrupted by ease and pleasure, most of the Eight Banners soldiers in the Beijing camp were too unbearable to fight any more.

On the contrary, the green battalion soldiers have not yet lost their energy and spirit, and still maintain a high combat effectiveness.

In the later years of Kangxi, the main force in the Northwest War, apart from the warriors of Sauron, was the Green Battalion.

　Prince Heng of Hongzhang was the tenth year of Yongzheng, and the fourth child let him take over the title of the fifth child.
