lied to Kangxi

Chapter 152
After Sun Chengyun got married, the [-]th birthday of Yuzhu's father-in-law Fucha Changde was approaching.

Eldest uncle An Lin was going to work in Changchun Garden, and he couldn't get out of his own body to manage important affairs. Yu Zhu, the son-in-law who was equivalent to a son-in-law, naturally provoked the leader.

Prior to this, An Lin had already sent someone to post a message to the relatives and relatives of Fucha's family.However, for a big family to celebrate their birthday, it is definitely not enough to just post it again, and that is too disrespectful.

Manchurians have a lot of rituals.

According to the customary rules, when a wealthy and powerful family celebrates their birthday, they must notify their relatives and friends at least one month in advance.

Three days before the birthday is approaching, someone will be sent to post again, so that relatives and friends will not forget, or something will be delayed, causing unnecessary misunderstandings.

When entertaining guests for a drink, the most important thing is the following: Do you ask the restaurant to prepare the noodles, or do you cook it yourself?How many tables are there?Is it a running seat or a fixed seat?How many tables do you need to prepare for spare seats?Who likes to make trouble after drinking?

Among them, the most troublesome thing is how to arrange the seats for the invited guests?
In the Qing Dynasty, if the seats of distinguished guests were wrongly arranged, it would definitely be a disaster to offend people to death.

For example, if Yuzhu is invited to drink birthday wine, should he sit at the seat of the princes and elder brothers, or at the table of the grandchildren of the Tong family, or as a son-in-law, at the table of relatives of the Fucha family?

Hey, the knowledge and exquisiteness in it are simply a broad and profound study of secular etiquette.

Because it has been decades since they entered the customs, and the banner people are not allowed to do business or farm.

Many clans, lords, or wives of bannermen with titles but no real power specialize in advising the rich and powerful as consultants, and even personally organizing weddings and weddings and giving gifts to guests.

The head of the Dog Breeding Department, Ma Jia Hanyuan, who is entrusted by the state, besides raising dogs for the royal family, is also specialized in weddings and funerals and other weddings and funerals.

Sitting at the round table, Chang De and Yu Zhu listened with great interest to Han Yuan's old allusions about holding birthday banquets.

Just listen, Han Yuan said with a smile: "Our family does not hold fixed seats for birthday celebrations, but prefers floating seats. Why? Because we have no way of predicting the guests who come to congratulate us temporarily. If the guests come, come on If you have a list of gifts, but no seats to enter, then the master's family will be ashamed."

Chang De nodded frequently and sighed: "It's still Mr. Han who is thoughtful."

Han Yuan waved his hand and said: "Master Chang, since we are sitting together, we should call each other as brothers, so that we can be at ease, right? My so-called Duke, only 500 taels of silver and [-] hu a year It's just Lumi, how can there be enough for the whole family? Alas, there is not enough silver rice, what should I do? I can only rely on Chang Ye and Yu Ye, you two will enjoy the food."

"The two of you are Han's parents. How can the parents call me a master? It's better to be called a brother." Han Yuan's posture is extremely low, and the words are also spoken Very pleasing, quite touching.

Yu Zhu couldn't help but smile slightly, this Han Yuan brother, in order to earn money, he was willing to let go of the airs of the Duke of the Kingdom, he is actually a wonderful person.

The salary of the Duke of Hanyuan is 500 taels a year, which seems to be a lot.In fact, it's only forty taels a month.

In addition, the annual salary of the head of the dog breeding department is only 300 taels.

Together, the monthly expenses of Hanyuan's family are at best less than 70 taels.

Hanyuan's family has a large population of wives, concubines and children.On the outside, he still has to live in the style of protecting the Duke of the state. At home, he has a team of bearers, a team of coachmen, etc. The expenses can be described as huge, and this life is very difficult.

To put it bluntly, if he didn't want to make some money outside, why would Han Yuan bother to let go of the airs of the Duke and show his face to hold weddings and weddings?
Changde originally only thought of 1000 taels of silver for his birthday.After all, after Sabusu's death, Changde kept his filial piety for another three years, and is currently in a state of huge deficit.

Yuzhu is so knowledgeable, he took the initiative to add 1000 taels of expenses, and this is the big scene of 2000 taels.

According to the practice of drawing one out of ten, Han Yuan can get at least 200 taels of silver, which is enough to support the whole family for three months.

What Hanyuan is doing is not a unique business. There are many people in this line of business under its banner, and the competition is extremely fierce.

Changde chose Hanyuan mainly because Hanyuan has a good reputation in this industry.Everyone said that Hanyuan would do things honestly when he took money, and would never steal or play tricks to fill his own pockets.

As we all know, in this era of prevalent ethics, the host who organizes weddings and weddings is most afraid of spending money and being notorious because of a momentary omission.

That would be a big loss.

Yuzhu's point of view has always been that money can solve problems, not problems.He is also very willing to spend money to celebrate his father-in-law's birthday.

In any case, the close relatives of the official wife belong to the serious relatives that Yu Zhu must take care of.

Hearing that Fifth Elder Brother would come to congratulate him at that time, Han Yuan couldn't help but clasped his hands and said, "Master Chang, with Lord Fifth Belle coming to join us, your birthday banquet must be very honorable."

Yu Zhu took the initiative to double the money, and was responsible for inviting the fifth elder brother to save face. Chang De deeply felt the respect his son-in-law had for him, and he was extremely satisfied.

In fact, Yuzhu didn't know how to organize a birthday banquet.His principle is that he only pays money and does not make a sound, and everything is subject to Changde's wishes.

As long as the old man is at ease, Yu Zhu will be satisfied.

In fact, Han Yuan really wanted to hook up with Yuzhu.Because, the nine-door admiral Long Kedo is in charge of more than 3 soldiers and horses, and the Eight Banners' generals and assistant leaders under him, as well as a large number of chief soldiers, deputy generals and generals from the green camp.

These people are all real local tyrants who hold real power and have no shortage of money to spend.

To put it bluntly, as long as Yuzhu is willing to help introduce, do you need to worry about Hanyuan's business?

However, Yuzhu closed his mouth tightly and hardly spoke.

Han Yuan is such a smart person, he can't find a reason to hook up with him, alas, it's too difficult.

Han Yuan gritted his teeth secretly, he was well-informed, but he had never seen Yuzhu's unusually low-key demeanor.

In the four or nine cities, including the prince elder brother, which upstarts in their teens are not domineering and domineering?
However, Yuzhu has a series of dazzling titles and strong strength, but he is extremely calm.

No matter what Chang De said, Yuzhu just laughed and didn't speak, this is the rhythm to drive the crazy man away.

"Master Yu, what do you think?" Han Yuan endured and endured, and asked Yuzhu unbearably.

Yuzhu smiled and said: "I don't understand anything, I just follow the orders of my father-in-law." After expressing his attitude, he closed his mouth again.

Han Yuan's teeth itch with hatred, but there is nothing he can do.This is the first time he has met a weird young upstart like Yu Zhu.

Seeing Yu Zhu being so obedient, Chang De couldn't bear it anymore, and said with a smile: "Uncle, the fifth brother is here, and he must take the seat. When the time comes, you have to accompany him to eat and drink."

This person is basically, you respect me one foot, I respect one foot.

Changde was naturally very satisfied with Yuzhu's refusal to put on six fingers.

Originally, Chang De thought that with Yuzhu's family background and status, he would definitely point fingers.

Who would have thought that Yuzhu adhered to the principle of paying him and talking to Changde, so he just sat there for a long time, refusing to intervene.

That's very satisfying!

"Come here, go brew Biluochun, my uncle's favorite drink."

"Whoo."

Soon, the tea was replaced by Biluochun, Yuzhu's favorite drink.

Yu Zhu took a sip of tea and said to himself, the sponsorship of 1000 taels of silver, coupled with his low-key style of life, has won the recognition of his father-in-law, which is super worth it!
There is an old saying that it is better to be silent than ten thousand words, and it is absolutely justified.

The elders are there, not talking too much, it is rare to be confused, it is also the truth!
Changde's birthday celebration is just a cover.

Yuzhu knew in his heart that everyone in Fucha's family was a monkey spirit.

Taking advantage of Changde's birthday to observe Yuzhu's behavior is the real purpose of Fu Cha's family.

The two families who just pointed out their marriage must need to adjust.

When celebrating his birthday, carefully observe Yuzhu's style nearby, so that Fucha can make necessary adjustments based on his initial knowledge.

There is no way, the strict etiquette of this era is too ruthless and cruel to women!

Making a birthday is a big event, and every aspect must be in place.

Changde and Hanyuan discussed for two hours before they settled the matter.

Yuzhu is also a great man. After sitting for so long, he always had a smile on his face, and his buttocks seemed to have grown roots, and they were always stuck to the chair.

Han Yuan has been suffering from not having the opportunity to strike up a conversation with Yuzhu, and his head is as big as eight.

Changde's heart was extremely satisfied, the son-in-law gave money and made great efforts, and was willing to sit with him for so long, he is really a rare good son-in-law!

After Yuzhu left, Changde praised Yuzhu in front of Yiergenjueluo and Xiuyun.

Irgenjue Luoshi also felt that he had found a treasure.She originally thought that with Yuzhu's family background and knowledge, no matter how she said it, she should be a person who knew half of the heavens and half of the earth, and was eloquent.

Who would have thought that Yuzhu's behavior and style would be so low-key.

"Master, silver, our family is actually not short of money. I originally planned to prepare 3 taels of money for our Xiuyun. Now it seems that, how about putting another 3 taels in the open place?" Yi Ergen felt that Luo Shi was originally a Hidden clumsy thoughts, buns have meat, never show it on the face.

Chang De said with a smile: "Depending on the good fortune of the old man Amata, the 300-year-old Changbai old mountain ginseng you have hidden, should you also put a few in our girl's dowry?"

The husband and wife looked at each other and smiled, everything was silent.

Think about it, Sabsu has served as the general of Heilongjiang for 18 years, how can he not have a lot of private pockets?

Not to brag, in Changde's warehouse, there are so many old wild ginseng, bear skins, sable skins, tiger skins, etc., that they are almost rotten.

Heilongjiang's fur goods are famous all over the world, and they are all good things that are hard to buy with money.

With Sa Busu's lofty prestige in Heilongjiang, his direct granddaughter is about to get married, hehe, why don't the old subordinates he promoted and the elders of Sauron's tribe not give generous gifts?
Now, since Yuzhu is willing to spend money to save face for the old man, he still respects the old man very much.

Changde and his wife reciprocated, so they stopped hiding, and generously put the dowry money and treasures in the open.

Xiuyun is seriously overage, Changde naturally thinks, the sooner she gets married, the better.

It's just that Ergen felt that Luo Shi had a lot of eyes, so he insisted on testing Yuzhu's temperament, so he decided to celebrate his birthday.
