lied to Kangxi

Chapter 283 I'm afraid of comparison

After sealing the sacrificial stove, the banner people in Sijiu City, every household began to post couplets, door gods, and hang lanterns made by themselves at the door.

Different from the traditional red couplets of the Han people, the couplets of the Bannermen are usually based on white paper, with only red and blue paints used as borders. Even in the Forbidden City, white paper is often used as the base of the couplets.

After posting the couplets, the bannermen can choose an auspicious day according to the calculation of Qintianjian to carry out "sweeping the house", that is, cleaning the house.

In addition, because ordinary banner people cannot start fires from the first to the fifth day of the lunar new year, they have to prepare the food needed for the New Year in advance.

The New Year's Eve of the New Year's Eve is the most important day of the Spring Festival.The princes and nobles under the flags in the capital began to give gifts to each other and visit each other.

On the night of New Year's Eve, there are two major activities for banner people in the capital, "worshiping Buddha" and "worshiping ancestors".

Bannermen who have a Buddhist hall at home must first worship the Buddha in the Buddhist hall, and then go to the ancestral hall to worship their ancestors.

After Yuzhu took over the third and eighth rooms of the Tong family, Long Kedo discussed with Qingtai, and they all went back to the Duke's mansion of the old Tong family for the new year.

With such an arrangement, whether it is "worshiping Buddha" or "worshiping ancestors", both families will not suffer.

When Li Si'er heard that he was going back to Old Tong's house for the New Year, he couldn't help but giggled. After laughing for a long time, he sighed: "Thanks to brother Zhen's blessing, I can finally enter Tong's mansion openly and aboveboard."

Nanny Liu said wittily, "Madam, when we go back to Tong's mansion this time, we must go through the main entrance, and let the bearers carry the sedan chair in."

Hey, this flattery really hit Li Si'er's heart!

Li Si'er was so happy that he rubbed his hands together and his stomach hurt from laughing. It took him a long time to caress his stomach, and said softly: "When I was pregnant with brother Zhen, I couldn't enter the gate of Tong's house. Now, the baby in my belly Thanks to his own brother's blessing, this little thing entered the Duke's mansion before he was even born."

Today's old Tong's family, the situation has been completely clarified!

Longkodo and Yuzhu father and son are the next two patriarchs who will do their part.

Not to mention other people, even Tong Liu, the old housekeeper of the Duke's Mansion, followed Yu Zhu to eat and drink spicy food, not to mention how beautiful the little life was.

The three generations of grandparents and grandchildren all have great favors, which can keep the wealth of the old Tong family alive for a hundred years!
In the face of the big situation where the family is still standing, Tong Guowei, who has always been extremely ruthless, has always been unequivocally wise.

Li Si'er is Yuzhu's biological mother, so he doesn't give Yuzhu this face. In the future, who will take care of the many dudes of Old Tong's family?

Does it depend on the worthless Ye Keshu?Or De Kexin who relies on digging?
Letting Li Si'er enter the main gate in a sedan chair, before leaving it, is definitely an insult to the ancestors of the Tong family.

However, the times have changed.

Without the resource support of the old Tong's family, Yuzhu managed to get a first-class male title on his own, and he was still a first-class shrimp with a knife.

The terrible thing is that so far, Yuzhu is the only one!

To put it bluntly, the situation is stronger than the people, even if Tong Guowei doesn't like Li Si'er any more, if he opens his eyes and closes his eyes, it will pass.

The old saying is good, don't be deaf or dumb, don't be a Weng!
After Yuzhu got married, she has been living in Qing Mansion.

According to the rules of the banner, the wedding room is not allowed to leave within two months.

There is no way, as a man with two wives and two relatives, Yu Zhu must at least level the bowl of water on the bright side.

Family discord, outsiders bully!

However, after nearly a month of marriage, Cao Chun, who was supposed to go back to Cao's house to live in "Taiyue", didn't want to go back.

"Master, I don't want to go back. My aunt died early, and the Cao family has no relatives." Cao Chun's words revealed a lot of meaning.

Yuzhu sighed secretly, it was obvious that when Cao Chun was a girl in the Cao family, life was not comfortable.

That's right, the Cao family treated Cao Yi kindly and Cao Chun kindly, even Kangxi knew it.

At the beginning, when the Tong and Cao families were discussing the betrothal gift, Qingtai originally wanted to bleed a lot, and at least offered a betrothal gift worth at least 40 taels of silver.

As a result, Cao Yin ran to Kangxi to complain, and Kangxi personally stepped forward to reduce the dowry to 10 taels of silver.

According to the custom of banner people who pay special attention to face, if you lose, you don't lose. The dowry for your daughter should not be less than [-]% of the dowry.

The dowry of 10 taels appointed by the emperor was pushed back backwards, and the dowry given by the Qing Mansion was also limited to 12 taels.

In fact, the more bride price the man gave, the better it would be for Cao Chun.

After Cao Chun married into the Qing Mansion, the dowry from the Cao family and the dowry gift from the Qing Mansion became her personal property, and they were listed together on the dowry list and brought to the Qing Mansion.

In the future, such a large amount of wealth can only be inherited by Cao Chun's own son, and the rest of the bastards can only watch and drool.

The wife didn't want to go back to her mother's house, and it happened that Yuzhu didn't treat Cao's house as a dish, so she nodded her head.

"Master, tomorrow, my concubine wants to go to Bao'en Temple to worship the Buddha, why don't you go with me." Cao Chun took the initiative to lean into Yuzhu's arms, acting like a spoiled child.

Behind Xiuyun, stood the entire Fucha family.But behind Cao Chun, there was nothing, she could only rely on Yuzhu's support.

People's hearts are fleshy, and Cao Chun, who is helpless, is especially pitiful.

"Okay, I just won't be on duty tomorrow, so I'll accompany you for a while." Yuzhu hugged his wife's slender waist, but he knew very well in his heart that Cao Chun was probably seeking a son.

Women in this era, if they have been childless, will definitely be discriminated against by their husband's family.

Just because, there are three kinds of unfilial piety, and having no descendants is the greatest!

Especially when Xiuyun over there had already given birth to Yu Zhu's eldest son, Cao Chun was full of a sense of crisis.

Early in the morning of the second day, the servants set up the car early.

After Yuzhu led Cao Chun to meet Qingtai and Qinglin, he boarded the car and went out, surrounded by the guards, and went straight to Baoen Temple.

Baoen Temple is on the same street as Laosi and Laoba, and it is also separated from Jialanyan Hutong in Longfu by Andingmen Street.

Since the husband and wife were traveling together, Yuzhu simply got into Cao Chun's carriage.

Cao Chun's carriage is in the shape of a first-class baroness.The green felt roof, green curtain, black wheel, black shaft, green pendant, and cover are all made of plain satin.

As soon as Yuzhu got into the carriage, Cao Chun leaned into his arms and said sweetly, "Husband, you treat my concubine very well."

Hey, the little thing that won't kill you!

Don't look at Cao Chun's obedient and gentle look in front of Yuzhu, but Yuzhu knows that she has a decisive side.

Before officially entering the bridal chamber, Cao Chun used his stepmother, Mrs. Li, to control her servants, and sold them all with the help of Yuzhu.

Can the unusually pungent Jia Tanchun be comparable to ordinary women?

In addition, Zhao Shan arranged to serve Cao Chun's servants when he came, and Cao Chun ruled them so submissively that no one dared to challenge her authority!

Yuzhu could also see clearly that Cao Chun relied on his favor to control the servants to death.

There is no way, his wife and mother are dead, and his stepmother Li Shi has a mean temper, so Yuzhu can only feel more pity.

In fact, Yuzhu felt sorry for Cao Chun, and there was also a kind of sympathy for each other.

It's just that Yuzhu, a concubine, has a much lower status than Cao Chun, a concubine who gave birth to a daughter.

After the large team arrived at Baoen Temple, Wu Jiang came to report.

"Master Hui, the car of Prince Fujin of Pingjun is parked outside the temple."

Yuzhu sighed secretly, what happened recently, can I always meet Cao Yi?
Cao Chun and Cao Yi are biological sisters after all, since they met in Bao'en Temple, they shouldn't avoid seeing each other, right?

Cao Yi is the iron-capped county king's successor Fujin, and his status is much higher than Cao Chun's. No matter whether it is public or private, Cao Chun should pay a visit to him.

Under the guidance of the people of the county prince's mansion, Yuzhu and Cao Chun met Cao Yi in the abbot's room of Baoen Temple.

"Your official, Yuzhu, I respectfully invite my son-in-law to come to Daan." Yuzhu bowed to the ground and bowed politely.

"My concubine, Cao Jia, I respectfully invite my son-in-law to Jin Da'an." Cao Chun knelt down and bowed gracefully.

In private, Cao Chun can call his sister.However, in public, one must call Fujin, which is a rule of etiquette.

Of course, if the relationship between the sisters is good, there is no need to formally salute on occasions where there are no outsiders.

The problem is, there are no outsiders in the abbot's room.

Then, the sisterhood between Cao Chun and Cao Yi is obviously not so close.As for Yuzhu, the feud between him and Naersu is well known.

"You guys, why are you so out of touch? Come on, get up, sit down and talk." Cao Yi's complexion was not very good, but he treated Yu Zhu and Cao Chun very affectionately.

Men and women are different, it is impossible for Yu Zhu to sit down and chat with Cao Yi.He made an excuse, took his leave and left, leaving Cao Chun and Cao Yi to talk about their daily life.

Cao Yi took Cao Chun's little hand affectionately, looked her around, and said with a smile, "Sister, you look good."

Cao Chun smiled slightly and said, "To tell you the truth, sister Zhang has already asked me to sell it."

Cao Yi's face changed, and then he pretended to be nonchalant, and asked Cao Chun blankly, "Who is Madam Zhang? Have I met him?"

"Hee hee, sister, since you haven't seen it, then just pretend I didn't say anything." Cao Chun sneered secretly.

Cao Yi also planted a nail by Cao Chun's side, that is, Nanny Zhang.

Before getting married, Cao Chun pretended to be very good and kept pretending not to know.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the bridal chamber, Cao Chun sold out all the servants around him, including the dowry maids.

No wonder, after Cao Yi watched for a long time, he didn't see a familiar servant beside Cao Chun.

Cao Yi was not a vegetarian either, she knew something was wrong, but suppressed her surprise, she still held Cao Chun's little hand with a smile, and asked for a while.

Since it's acting, Cao Chun doesn't mind accompanying him to the end.She skillfully performed the posture of the second grade baroness, matching Cao Yi's performance.

"Sister, your complexion doesn't seem very good?" Cao Chun was a bride every night, his whole body was thoroughly moisturized, his skin was crystal clear and jade-like, and he looked extraordinarily bright and beautiful.

On the other hand, Cao Yi's dark circles could not be concealed even with thick powder, and his complexion turned yellow, like a patient suffering from long-term insomnia.
