lied to Kangxi

Chapter 793 Feng Lin
In today's Tongfu Hutong, there is a post at three steps and a post at five steps, and the security is extremely strict.

At seven o'clock, from the entrance of the alley, there was a sudden clap of applause.

After a short while, the high-fives got closer and closer.

I saw a group of young eunuchs clapping their hands and walking towards the old Tong's family.

After the team of eunuchs who clapped their hands passed by, there was another strange sound of "rebuking" in the alley.

"Rebuke, rebuke, rebuke..." Another group of young eunuchs, while walking, issued a warning sound to clean the street.

After the two teams of eunuchs had passed by, the palace music of honor was suddenly played in the alley.

Amidst the sound of drum music, two teams of eunuchs on horseback passed by the Tong family's welcoming team.

Six white horses without the slightest variegation, in this world, only the emperor's family can get their hands on them.

In the Qing Dynasty, the guard of honor of the empress dowager and empress was officially called Yijia.

The grandeur of the imperial concubine is called: guard of honor.The rest of the concubines or concubines are colorful battles.

When the drums were playing, I saw two golden phoenix flags fluttering in the wind, leading the way.

Immediately afterwards, there are two red phoenix flags and two black phoenix flags each, two golden, red, and black three-color fans each, two red and black phoenix fans, two red and black auspicious grass umbrellas, and two bright yellow phoenix fans. There are two flower umbrellas of three colors, one red and one black.

What is particularly eye-catching is that after the Qifeng Minghuang crank, there are Zhai Yu, Yiyu, and Zhai Che.

As soon as Zhai Yu showed up, the eunuch who was standing on the steps in front of Tong's mansion raised his throat and shouted sharply, "Kneel!"

"Hula la..." In front of the entire old Tong's house, a large area fell to their knees.

The men kneel on the left side, while the women kneel on the right side, with a clear distinction and no chaos at all.

The men of Old Tong's family are headed by Tong Guoding.For women, Li Si'er is the leader.

In fact, this arrangement is the result of a compromise. There are no national rituals, only family rituals.

If they were greeted according to national etiquette, Yuzhu should be the first on the men's side, and Xiuyun should be the first on the women's side.

Etiquette is like a three-year-old girl who is allowed to be dressed and explained by her parents at will.

As usual, to greet the imperial concubine to visit relatives, the national ceremony should come first, and the family ceremony should come second.

However, Yuzhu didn't want to make too much publicity, so he took the initiative to pester the old emperor and insisted on meeting each other with family etiquette.

Yuzhu's reason can also be said, he is just a mere junior, how dare he surpass his father and grandfather?
Respecting the elders is a traditional virtue!
Yuzhu's subtext is, Khan Ama, you are also my serious elder, and I will never dare to disobey your old man's orders.

In fact, the old emperor also understood Yu Zhu's careful thinking.

If Xiuyun was in front of Li Si'er, looking back, Yuzhu would inevitably have a lot of trouble.

However, it would be embarrassing if Yu Zhu stood at the top of the old Tong family's team.

Zhai's chariot, carved with dragons and phoenixes, parked steadily in front of the gate of Old Tong's house.

At this time, at the place where the car curtain was raised, a noble lady wearing a three-tiered seven-golden phoenix crown and a bright yellow gown officially appeared.

"Kneel." With the shout of the eunuch guiding the ceremony, all the members of Old Tong's family knelt obediently.

Tong Niangniang stepped on the backs of the two young eunuchs, and her feet slowly fell to the ground.

Tong Guoding kowtowed heavily, and said loudly: "Former general of Jingzhou, slave Tong Guoding, I sincerely invite the imperial concubine and concubine to be safe and blessed."

"The first-class Cheng Engong, the minister who leads the guards, and the slave Erlundai, I respectfully invite the imperial concubine and empress to be blessed and safe."

"First-class Cheng Engong, the commander of the infantry, and the servant Longkodo, I respectfully invite the imperial concubine and empress to be blessed and safe."

"Shangshu of the Ministry of War, slave Qingtai..."

"Slave Ye Keshu..."

"Slave Di Kexin..."

"..."

"Slave Shun Anyan..."

"The Duke of Feng En Town, the foreman Nanshufang Xingxing, the foreman the imperial minister, the foreman the minister in charge of the House of Internal Affairs, and the minister Yuzhu, I respectfully invite my concubine and mother to be blessed and safe."

With such a long title and such an eminent title, you still call yourself a minister, so why ask? It must be Yuzhu.

Tong Niangniang looked at Yuzhu with a smile on her face, and said softly: "Little monkey, you usually open your mouth and shut your mouth, but today you have become a gourd with a muffled mouth? Come here quickly, call your aunt Dad takes a look at you, have you ever lost weight from hunger?"

In front of everyone, Tong Niangniang actually waved to greet her, Yuzhu dared not disobey, so she had to bite the bullet and walked quickly to Tong Niangniang's side.

Just as Yuzhu was about to salute again, the female officer beside Tong Niangniang raised her hand to stop her.

Tong Niangniang smiled slightly, and ordered: "I haven't been home for decades, little monkey, you lead the way, take me around, take a look, how good is it?"

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, can Yu Zhu say anything wrong?

So, Yuzhu led the way, leading the large team from the palace, and marched into Lao Tong's house.

Seeing Tong Guoding's old face turned into a pig's liver color, Long Keduo felt relieved, and said casually: "Among so many nephews, the empress just likes Yuzhu, alas, I can't help it."

Tong Guoding was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood, but he took Longkodo again, completely useless.

The former Tong Banchao was indeed the Tong family, and there were at least 50 people in high positions above the third rank.

Today's Tong Banchao refers specifically to Longkodo, Qingtai and Yuzhu, the father and son who have power over the government.

Now, among the whole family, there are widely circulated gossips: The three of them have taken advantage of all the advantages of the old Tong family!
Shun Anyan kept staring at Yu Zhu's back, feeling so jealous that she was dying.

Originally, among Tong Guowei's grandchildren, Shun Anyan was the most prominent one.

However, who told Shun Anyan to be on the wrong team?

Before the old emperor abolished the crown prince, he had thoroughly cleaned up the elder brother's party. Shun Anyan didn't even keep the title of Heshuo's son-in-law.

The bigger the family, the harder it is to share the benefits.

To put it bluntly, back then, Ye Keshu and De Kexin teamed up to bully his younger brother Longkodo, wasn't it for the good position of the second-class guard?
Good location, after all, is limited.

Tong Guowei was also very difficult at the time. If he gave De Kexin a good position, he would not be able to give it to Longkodo, so there must be a choice.

It's just, it's really a turn of events.

Who would have imagined that Yuzhu, whose background was not as good as a maidservant's son, would rise to the present level?
Just in response to the famous saying: the past is over, count the heroes, and look at the present!

After Tong Niangniang washed and changed her clothes, she drank half a cup of tea before ordering someone to meet the women of the Tong family.

Originally, Li Sier's heart was always up and down, for fear of losing face.

Unexpectedly, a female official in the palace walked up to Li Si'er quickly, and said with a smile: "Old lady, please follow me in to see your mother?"

For a moment, Li Sier's brows were filled with joy, and the smile lines on his face could not be concealed even if he wanted to.

Before Li Sier went in, he deliberately turned his head to look at Xiuyun.

Xiuyun knew very well that Li Si'er was showing off to her.

Alas, since my aunt likes Yuzhu so much, isn't it normal for her to give Li Si'er a big face?
