Great Qing Dynasty talker

Chapter 314 On the 29th of the twelfth lunar month, the Zhao sisters entered the Wu Palace, Shuzhen was fierce!

"Your Majesty, I will almost never see you again."

Fucheng's eyes filled with tears, and he knelt down as soon as they met, his emotions were full to the extreme.

Lin Huaisheng looked calm and stood aside to perform a standard gun salute! There was some blood on the boots under his feet, but it was nothing to him, just human blood.

……

"Thanks to Commander Lin being in the car today. Otherwise, otherwise~"

Li Yu patted him to signal him to calm down.

He quickly walked to the yard and looked at the four-wheeled carriage that had been attacked. There was an arrow nailed to the front board, which penetrated deeply into the wood.

"It is wise to open the car door on the side. Fucheng, Qianlong has a deep grudge against you."

Fu Cheng blushed and immediately expressed his opinion:
"I am a loyal minister of His Majesty in life, and a ghost of Wu in death. In this life, I am incompatible with the puppet Qing Dynasty."

The next day, we boarded the ship and returned to Suzhou.

"I obey the king's orders."

He was certain that only he and Hu Xueyu realized the hidden intention behind the so-called "official residence system" at the first moment.

The last half of the sentence made everyone become serious, and their eyes turned to Li Yu who was sitting at the head of the long table.

……

This time,
Except for a few corps commanders stationed on the front lines, they are not allowed to leave their posts without authorization and celebrate the New Year locally. The rest of the main personnel returned to Suzhou Prefecture.

"Fucheng, what are you thinking about?"

Some people even started to ask about the specifications of this house.

The atmosphere in the room was very cheerful, and it felt like I had reached my peak.

"Call the engineering battalion under your command to build a group of official residences for important officials from now on. Everyone above the director can get a residence. The environment around the residence must be beautiful, and the surrounding security must be tight. You are all loyal ministers of the people, and your safety is at stake. Very important."

Li Yu suddenly realized that this was an excellent opportunity!

"Yes! I don't treat one favorably over another."

Seeing everyone roaring with laughter, he quickly explained:
"Qianlong must hate us father and son to the core, especially my father!"

……

"Well, if you survive a catastrophe, you will be blessed later."

While most people were still confused, the "official residence system" was officially established.

The two little children were naturally taken care of, and Li Yu only held them for a while.

Du Ren looked up at everyone in surprise.

On the 28th of the twelfth lunar month, Li Yu went to Xishan Island.

Lin Huaisheng also smiled and said:

"The minister is here."

"Are we, the military attache, there too?"

At the meeting, Li Yu suddenly called his name:

After briefly discussing a few major current issues, we gathered for dinner and drinks.

Raising and nurturing offspring is an arduous task for any ordinary person. It requires long-term investment of money and energy, and consumes more than half of one's life.

The rest of the people were immersed in the joy of picking up a house for free. The environment is beautiful and the guards are tight. Your Majesty is really merciful to me.

"The world is uncertain, and the pseudo-Qing Dynasty will use all possible means. Similar assassinations and sabotage incidents will definitely happen again in the future."

……

After the emperor's family had many children, it was extremely difficult to call them by their names when they met.

Li Yu coughed twice:

"Fan Jing!"

I stayed with Hu Ling'er and Yang Yunjiao for half a day respectively, and it was a good time to take care of their feelings and prevent depression.

"Your Majesty, I am thinking of going back to hire a few more guards."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

In a flash,

However, there is still one person missing: Director of the Intelligence Agency, Liu Qian!
……

Family ties in the imperial family are weak, and the lack of companionship is a huge factor.

"The specific specifications, design, location, and system of the official residence need to be carefully studied by relevant personnel. It is a matter of face, so there is no need to be careless and cost-saving."

Except for the prince and a few eldest sons and sons of beloved concubines, the rest were just princes.

Fucheng happily followed him in. His Majesty said that if there is a blessing in the future, then he must be blessed, and it can't be small.

He immediately stood up and said domineeringly:

The firecrackers are blasting, the gongs and drums are noisy, and the sky is full of joy.

Li Yu married two concubines on the same day. Such a grand event naturally requires a red carpet, beautiful welcoming maids, and neat and elite ceremonial guards.

I've been fighting for so long, shouldn't I just enjoy it?
There is a dazzling array of etiquette that is so complicated that it can cause headaches.

Li Yu sighed in his heart, if Queen Hu Ling'er saw her, she would definitely hold a grudge for the rest of her life. If the concubine Yang Yunjiao saw her, she would be depressed for several years.

Women are particularly concerned about rituals. Especially the regrets about the wedding ceremony can make my hair turn gray.

It can only be said that it was fortunate that Li Yuyingming left those two people on Xishan Island. If they were all in Fucheng, I'm afraid the two girls of the Zhao family would never run out of shoes, one pair after another.

……

"Your Majesty is getting married today, who do you think is the happiest?"

"Of course it is Your Majesty."

"wrong."

"Are they two concubines?"

"That's not right. It's our father-in-law from Hangzhou."

A few gentry hiding in the corner were talking sourly.

They were indeed right. The happiest person in the room today was Zhao Lixia. The smile on his face never faded, blooming from morning to noon.

All the dignitaries present, whether it was the director, minister, or the legion commander, were very kind to him.

Except Hu Xueyu!
As a well-established scholar over 5 years old, he was polite on the surface, nothing more.

At the banquet,
The first actual contact between the two was a toast.

"President Zhao, congratulations." Hu Xueyu stretched out his right hand and held the wine glass.

Zhao Lixia was stunned for a moment, then quickly stretched out his arms and gently touched the two wine glasses.

The people at the same table noticed that the rim of Zhao Lixia's wine glass was slightly lower than Hu Xueyu's. It seems that President Zhao still dare not openly challenge Minister Hu.

……

This scene may seem small.

In fact, it was a battle of mentality between the two, and Hu Xueyu successfully defeated Zhao Lixia.

All the drinks at today's wedding banquet are Yujiu.

As the monarch of a country, Li Yu naturally had no intention of managing such trivial matters, so he selected one person from among his adopted daughters to take charge of the company and be responsible for daily operations.

Several old people from Jiangnan Liquor Industry were selected and appointed as the company's managers.

It will take half a year to complete the unified standards and procedures of the wine-making process, and end this reckless era of Yujiu.

There are hundreds of small private brewing workshops under his command. If they are willing to continue making wine, the workshops will be converted into shares and merged into the county winery. People who work in the winery will receive monthly silver and year-end dividends.

If you don’t want to, just take 7 years of profit and leave! From now on, he is not allowed to enter the brewing industry again.

The county winery has unified and upgraded its process flow.

The drinks produced no longer bear the brand name of Yujiu, but are uniformly named "Spring", "Flower", "Autumn" and "Moon". Corresponding to 4 price ranges, it is supplied to the public!

Two months after it was put into production, two of the best wineries were selected based on the craftsmanship level and wine quality of each factory, and based on the ancestral winemaking secret recipes purchased with a large sum of money, they specialized in producing Yujiu wine. From then on, they were superior to others.

……

Hu Xueyu took a sip of today's wine and thought it tasted really good.

Mellow, long-lasting and rich in flavor.

He didn't think much about the drastic changes in the wine industry, and just regarded it as a good son-in-law trying to "make money better and faster."

Making a fuss about wine will not damage the foundation, there will not be too much opposition, and it will not make the people under the rule hungry.

I really found a good entry point!
It can be called an exquisite national player.

Only one person keenly sensed the big intention behind this, and that was-Liu Zhen!

Among the guests, one was a distributor of Yujiu. His few words moved Zhen's heart, and she realized that such trouble might be because the drunkard was not interested in drinking.

But as smart as she is, she will naturally not say it. It is a taboo for a minister to see through and reveal the king's long-term strategy!
"Akun, why have you gained weight again?"

"Hey, little five brothers, let's have a drink."

The deputy commander-in-chief of the 4th Army, Li Xiaowu, held a wine glass and looked at Liu Akun, who occupied the width of two chairs, with a surprised look on his face. He had mixed feelings for a while and was a little speechless.

They are the only two members of Cunjutang who have made it to the present day. The rest are either dead or injured, or have left far away.

Even Fan Jing, Lin Huaisheng, and Liu Qian were recruited into the hall by Li Yuhou, and their qualifications were inferior.

……

Zhen immediately greeted:

"Brother Xiaowu, Akun always talks about you at home. You must make time to come to Hangzhou."

Liu Akun nodded:

"Yeah yeah."

Li Xiaowu whispered:
"I accept it with kindness, but I have to rush back to the Jiangxi front line on the second day of the first lunar month. This battle is early."

Liu Akun's expression was a little sad:
"I haven't killed anyone with my own hands for a long time. I envy you that you can kill people every day."

Li Xiaowu swallowed his words again, and just drank another glass silently.

"How is Zhejiang doing now?"

"It's very good. The Qing army has almost no movement. The businessmen on both sides have close contacts. I almost forgot that there is still a war."

After Li Xiaowu leaves,

Zhen held Liu Akun's hand:
"How about we ask His Majesty to let you join the 3rd Army?"

"Forget it, it's not good to go back on your word."

……

Li Yu, wearing a brand new military uniform, walked into the new house.

Suddenly I felt warm as spring, and the ground dragon in the house was burning too much. The people working there are very attentive!

I saw an old nanny coming towards me again. She smiled so hard that her face was falling pink as she saluted:

"My slave, I pay my respects to Lord Long Live."

The title is a bit strange, but I am so happy today that it is not appropriate to argue with me.

Li Yu took off his armed belt and handed it to her, and asked casually:

"From the Zhao family?"

"Yes, this servant is the chief teacher of the women's orchestra in the Zhao Mansion, her surname is Rong. The two empresses are waiting for Long Yan inside. Your Majesty, can we start?"

Li Yu nodded.

"Your Majesty, please."

……

Li Yu didn't have any involvement in the tedious aspects of the Three Letters and Six Rites, so naturally someone would handle it properly.

After he sat upright and received the salute, Grandma Rong handed over a tray. Two golden wire scale beams rested on the tray.

Li Yu picked it up and looked at the two concubines sitting together.

Like a replica.

Everything is the same from head to toe, including the shape of the person's body, even the position of the hands.

Grandma Rong said in a low voice:
"Your Majesty, Shuzhen is on the right and Shujie is on the left."

Shuzhen is the elder sister and Shujie is the younger sister.

Let’s start with my sister, sort by age, it’s reasonable.

Using the gold wire scale, she gently opened the thin layer of red gauze hijab that only served a symbolic purpose. Zhao Shuzhen quietly raised her head, her eyes bold and hot.

Li Yu nodded and smiled,

Looking at Shujie on the left, what she saw was a pair of eyes that were lowered and did not dare to look directly.

"Ok?"

Shujie raised her head, her eyes flashed across her face, and then she lowered her head and continued to stare at her boots.

Li Yu took two steps back and said with emotion:
"It's beautiful!"

For a moment, I didn’t know which one he was praising.

……

The two maids lowered their heads and held silver trays. Place a silver bowl and spoon on the tray.

Grandma Rong quickly introduced:
"Your Majesty and your Majesty, please eat dumplings with your descendants together."

Li Yu didn't know what it meant, but he also guessed that it was a ritual. So I scooped up the glutinous rice balls from the silver bowl on the right tray and took a small bite. They were raw! ?

Grandma Rong said in a voice as sweet as honey:

"Have a baby!"

The maid on the left quickly raised the tray a little higher, which was very obvious.

Your Majesty has eaten Zhao Shuzhen’s portion of raw glutinous rice balls, but you haven’t eaten our Zhao Shujie’s yet.

Have another bite!
Li Yu was chewing raw glutinous rice balls. He couldn't complain, so he could only swallow them silently.

Then the silver bowl was passed to Shuzhen and Shujie, who were sitting by the couch, and each of them also ate one.

……

"Your Majesty, your Majesty, please drink the wine."

on the tray,
It turned out to be a golden cup inlaid with jade. The three halves were put together to form a circle.

The cup handles are fastened together with red and green silk thread.

To be honest, it was quite difficult to have a drink together. It took a lot of effort to succeed without causing collision.

Zhao Shujie's forehead was sweating.

His hands were trembling slightly, feeling a little excited and nervous.

The maid promptly spread an amazingly thick wool blanket on the ground.

"Your Majesty, please throw a cup with your Majesty."

Three cups rolled on the carpet.

"Aiya, three cups fell to the ground, two were raised and one was bowed. His majesty's cup was facing down, and the ladies' cup was facing up. The men bowed down and the women looked up, the sky and the earth were covered, the yin and yang harmonized, it was really auspicious and a once-in-a-lifetime event." Grandma was pleasantly surprised. As she spoke, she raised her hands to the level of her cheeks and shook them exaggeratedly.

In a flash,

Li Yudu was filled with admiration. The level of old artists was really not comparable to that of young people.

This artistic content is too high!

No wonder, Zhao Mansion sent this old guy here.

Every fold on her face is a show!
……

"The ceremony is over."

"Your Majesty, my empress, please finish the ceremony boldly. The slaves are waiting outside."

With one step and three steps, Grandma Rong led the maids out and carefully closed the door.

Li Yu picked up the wine bottle on the table and poured himself a glass.

Zhao Shujie hesitated to speak, but finally held back. Zhao Shuzhen chuckled.

This smile made Li Yu immediately realize that there might be something wrong with the wine. He was afraid that it might have been spiked.

Marrying two concubines in one day is quite special.

The old artist has really good intentions.

"Ahem, on such an auspicious day, how do we assign the order of priority? Do you two sisters have any ideas?"

Zhao Shuzhen was cunning and slapped Shujie with her finger:
"Good food, let's give it to my sister first."

Shujie's face was as red as a shrimp dropped into hot water, and she stuttered when she spoke:
"Grow, grow, grow up and young in order. Sister, sister first!"

……

Li Yu glanced at the small room in the back:
"Shujie, don't be nervous. Just avoid it for a while. It will be your turn later."

then,

Zhao Shujie walked into the small house next door with stumbling steps, holding her skirt and running without being rude. It was her good tutoring that left her with the last stubbornness.

Leaving behind Li Yu who was quite amused and his sister who was as happy as a little fox, Qi! Eyes! Mutually! right!

"His Majesty?"

Good clip~
Li Yu put his hand on the little fox's shoulder, suddenly changed his hand, and pushed back gently.
