lied to Kangxi

Chapter 378

Bannermen celebrate the New Year, which always falls on the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month.The Han family celebrates the new year, usually on the 24th of the twelfth lunar month.

Since Qingtai and Qing Linyuan are in office in Guangzhou, it is natural for Yuzhu to accompany Longkodo and Li Si'er for the festival.

The Tong family all have the bad habit of arriving late and leaving early, not going to work in the yamen, even the old emperor is not surprised.

Waking up in the morning, Yuzhu led Xiuyun and Xiaoxuanyu to greet Longkodo and Li Si'er.

On weekdays, between father and son, the etiquette is always simple.

Today, it's New Year's Eve, Yuzhu led Xiaoxuanyu and kowtowed three times.

Longkodo stroked his beard and smiled, in a good mood, and said with a smile: "Get up, we are a family, blood and blood."

Well, the flesh and blood of the first relatives, this is the key point.

How outsiders scold Longkodo, Yu Zhu knows very well.

However, even though Longkodo has sores on his head and pus on the soles of his feet, he has true love for Yuzhu and Xiaoxuanyu from the bottom of his heart.

Back then, when Yuzhu was just starting his official career, thanks to Long Kedo's many performances in front of Kangxi, he secretly helped him a lot.

Besides, fight tiger brothers, fight father and son soldiers.

Now that Kangxi has made it clear, after the second abolishment of the prince, he will release Yuzhu to serve as the chief official of the border.

Long Kedo, who is about to return to serve as the admiral of the Nine Gates, can't overemphasize his role no matter how much he emphasizes.

After Yuzhu became the commander of the infantry, he really took care of Longkodo's old subordinates, instead of pretending to be perfunctory and really relegating them.

The son respects Lao Tzu so much, what else can Long Kedo say, he is extremely satisfied!
These days, the mentality of being an old man is actually very complicated.

I am afraid that my son will be worthless, so I will stay at home and eat the old man.I also worry that my son is too promising, but he is above Lao Tzu.

Kangxi looked at Prince Yinreng with such a complicated mentality.

However, Yinfeng was spoiled by Kangxi, but Yuzhu always paid attention to Longkodo's personal feelings.

Such a comparison, the difference is too big!
"Second brother, many of your subordinates have already come to the door. Make up your mind who you see and who you don't see." When Longkodo said this, there was no other meaning, it was purely the interaction of filial piety and kindness .

But Yuzhu said: "Ama, your old subordinate, you go and see. My newly promoted subordinate, I come to see, okay?"

Longkodo took a deep look at Yuzhu, stroked his beard and smiled, and said, "It's up to you."

Li Si'er likes the holidays the most.

At this time, there will be an endless stream of officials who come to give gifts.

It's completely different from Li Sier's who can only get in and out.

As long as Xiuyun gets the gift list for Yu Zhu, she will definitely reduce [-]% or [-]% depending on the relationship, and exchange for several gifts before letting them take it back.

Giving, receiving and returning gifts is definitely a big subject.

Yuzhu is not short of money, and Xiuyun is not a fan of money.

It's just that it's human nature to greet and send off during the New Year and holidays.

The subordinates are here, if you don't accept the gift, they will inevitably be worried, did they offend Yuzhu somewhere?
However, if Xiuyun accepted all the gifts from his subordinates, it would be inappropriate, and it would easily give people more room for imagination than expected.

To put it bluntly, the subordinates came to give gifts, not for promotion.But everyone came, and if he didn't come, he was afraid of being regarded as an alternative by his boss.

In the officialdom, in the eyes of the boss, in most cases, those who are different are either sitting on the bench or being cleaned up.

There is no comparison between the promotion in the officialdom, the gift specifications for promotion, and the daily etiquette.

After Longkodo took office as Minister of Lifan Academy, his authority must be much smaller than before.

What Yuzhu did just tickled Longkodo's itch. He had long wanted to see his old subordinates.

Objectively speaking, after Yuzhu took office as the commander of the infantry, there was no large-scale replacement.

Because the Kangxi Dynasty lasted 61 years, and now it is only the end of the 50th year of Kangxi.

If Yu Zhu had just taken office, he would wantonly change people and transfer posts, and Kangxi, who had been silently observing him, would inevitably be overwhelmed.

It was still very early that night, and the military power in the capital was extremely sensitive.

It is impossible for anyone with a little bit of brains to act rashly, let alone Yu Zhu, a veteran of the officialdom?
Duck paddling, the kung fu is all under the water surface, this is the sustainable kingly way.

After Yuzhu purposely gave Long Ke more chances to meet his old subordinates, he didn't immediately meet the subordinates he had promoted, but sat back in the inner study, chatting with Qingwen while drinking tea and eating melon seeds.

Think about it, when Long Ke saw his subordinates more, Yuzhu also wanted to see his subordinates.

Which side of the meeting did the subordinates participate in?Isn't this a sandwich cake?

Between the father and son of the first relatives, openly fighting in the arena is something that a wise man would not do.

While talking and joking, Wu Jiang came to report that Han Xiu, the original big girl beside Yu Zhu, had come and wanted to see the second master.

When Hanxiu got married, Yuzhu went to her house in person, and privately stuffed 200 taels of silver notes at the bottom of the box.

After all, it was a master-servant relationship, Yu Zhu not only gave Han Xiu a face, but also let her get a big benefit, it can be said that he has done his best.

Yu Zhu thought about it for a while, and was more considerate of Han Xiu's difficulties.After all, she is already married as a woman, so she will inevitably have to work for her husband's family.

In view of the fact that Hanshuang and Hanxiu had always been at odds with each other, Yuzhu called Hongmei over.

Yuzhu asked Hongmei: "After Hanxiu got married, how was life at her husband's house?"

Hanxiu is slightly older than Hongmei by two years.

After Li Si'er followed Longkodo, Han Xiu became the third-class girl in front of Li Si'er.

At this time, Hongmei was bought into Long's mansion and served Madam Liu personally.

After Yuzhu was born, Li Si'er cared about her son very much, so she promoted Hanxiu as a big girl and sent her to Yuzhu's side.

Later, after Yuzhu got married, Li Si'er was worried that he would sell his daughter-in-law, so he insisted on giving Yuzhu the red plum as his concubine.

Unlike Hanxiu who wants to marry outside, Hongmei is happy to be Yuzhu's concubine.

Hongmei is Li Si'er's concubine, even Xiuyun wants to give her three points, let alone the rest of the people?

Objectively speaking, Hongmei's status in many concubines' rooms must be more than one head higher than that of Lin Yan'er and Qingwen.

"Master Hui, Hanxiu's life in her husband's house is very ordinary. It's just because she gave birth to three daughters in a row, but she has no children so far." Hongmei didn't speak much, but she just pointed out Hanxiu's embarrassing situation.

These days, according to the rules of feudal etiquette, the first of the seven rules for a married woman is childlessness.

Yuzhu understood it as soon as he heard it.

Over the years, Han Xiu has come to visit him at the mansion every year and festival.However, he had never seen Han Xiu in person.

Probably because of Yu Zhu's relative alienation, Han Xiu's life at her husband's house was not easy.

"Well, Han Xiu is also an old man by my side, you go and bring her in to see me." Yuzhu knew in her heart that the time had come, and there was no need to continue to neglect Han Xiu.

In the beginning, Yuzhu actually neglected Hanxiu on purpose.The reason is actually very simple. He is worried that Han Xiu will take advantage of the power of the Long Mansion and dominate his husband's family.

Now, Hanxiu's life in her husband's house is not easy, Yuzhu gave her a hand, which not only shocked her husband's house, but also kept her from being too arrogant.

The way to control the subordinates lies in the combination of kindness and might, and the combination of leniency and strictness.

This person, after going through hardships, he will only cherish it if he regains it after losing it!

Hongmei is a very smart woman, if she leads Han Leader in, she will definitely give advice on the way.

Sure enough, after Hanxiu entered the door, he knelt down at Yuzhu's feet and said in a tearful voice, "Second Master, this servant already knows that I made a mistake, please severely punish me."

After Hanxiu let go of his deed and left the mansion, he was already a free citizen and no longer a servant of the Long Mansion.

Yuzhu was just the old owner, so it was naturally inconvenient to help the married Hanxiu with his own hands, so he winked at Hongmei.

Hongmei walked over, helped her up Hanxiu, and persuaded her with a smile: "I didn't mean you, our second master already has the eldest son, he is already the second master, hehe."

The scene that was originally a bit sad, but with Hongmei's blending in, the atmosphere immediately relaxed a lot.

Yuzhu nodded secretly, Hongmei really has good eyesight and is also good at talking.

Because of this, Yuzhu deliberately neglected Hongmei, just because she didn't want her to take advantage of Li Si'er's power to be arrogant and dare to go against Xiuyun.

As the head of the family, Yuzhu's attitude towards the women around her directly affected their voice and status in the mansion.

Yuzhu also saw clearly, expecting the wives and concubines around him to be as close as a family, that is simply a dream.

However, as long as Yu Zhu controls well.At least, his women didn't dare to make troubles all day long and make the house restless and fight like chickens and dogs.

The women in the back house dared to make internal strife, but they were not to blame, the main reason was that the men didn't know how to behave properly.

Most of the feudal etiquette is dross, but it also has its rationality.

Since getting married, Yuzhu usually lives in Long Mansion for one month, and then goes to Qing Mansion for another month.

During this month in Long Mansion, Yuzhu stayed in Xiuyun's room for at least half a month.

Only by emphasizing Xiuyun's status as the main wife, the concubines would not dare to rely on the man's favor and jump out to challenge the authority of the mistress.

Perhaps Hongmei had taught her on the road, and Hanxiu cried once in front of Yuzhu, and stopped crying.

Han Xiu suffered such a little grievance, for Yu Zhu, it was not worth mentioning at all.

After Yuzhu briefly asked about Hanxiu's recent situation, he told Hongmei, "It's a young year, and I still need to meet guests. You can spend more time with Hanxiu, and besides, I left her to have lunch with you." Turn around, give Han Xiu some jewelry, and arrange for my carriage to take her back."

How clever is Hongmei?

As soon as she heard it, she understood Yuzhu's true intention.

Use Yuzhu's carriage to send Han Xiu back, as long as the men of Han Xiu's husband's family are not blind, how can they not understand that this is the intention of the Hou family to support Han Xiu?
Don't look at the monk's face to see the Buddha's face!
Beating a dog depends on the owner!
The former big girl next to Yuzhu is by no means a mere merchant's family, so she can be bullied casually.

Hanxiu thanked Hongmei a thousand times and left with Hongmei.

Qingwen was originally a servant, seeing this situation, she couldn't help sighing softly, and said quietly: "I did not misunderstand Erlang, he is indeed a very humane master."

Yuzhu was about to hold Qingwen's little hand and say a few private words affectionately, but the porter came to report.

"Second Master, a couple came outside the gate of the house, insisting that they are the cousin and sister-in-law of our Aunt Qing."

What is the identity of Yuzhu?It is impossible that cats and dogs can see him.

However, the concierge also knew that Qingwen was Yuzhu's favorite concubine, and she had received money from others secretly filial piety, so she had the courage to report in.
