Chapter 759 Jade Phase(1/2)
With Qingwen, Yuzhu found the long-lost feeling of love.
Except for Qingwen, when other women followed him, it was not Yuzhu's initiative.
For example, Xiuyun and Cao Chun were forced into marriage by Kangxi.
Xingjiao and Xingrui were Xiuyun’s first wives.
According to the customs of this era, if Yuzhu did not accept the two of them, Xiuyun would be suspicious, thinking that he did not like the emperor's marriage.
Lin Yan'er was sent here by Zhao Donghe, and Hongmei was a concubine rewarded by Li Si'er.
Then there are the two beautiful concubines rewarded by Kangxi, Jilinazha and the Korean maid Jin who has not yet consummated their marriage.
However, Qingwen was different. Not long after she was sold into the Cao Mansion, she was taken back to the Mansion by Yuzhu, and she was always cared for like a younger sister.
The cultivation of a little wife, well, Yuzhu feels this way now.
Today's Qingwen is not only like a blooming peony, she is also knowledgeable and courteous, and her sentences are well-spoken and well-written.
In order to take the imperial examination and win the favor of Kangxi, he climbed the Qingyun Ladder.
No matter how much Yuzhu despised the eight-legged essay, he had read through thousands of books and answered countless questions.
Poems don't dare to dominate, but they are full of beautiful articles, but there is no doubt about it.
In the past, Qingwen was a typical illiterate. How could she and Yuzhu have anything in common?
Now, before Yuzhu finished speaking, Qingwen continued.
Hehe, she is a well-educated and talented woman, so handsome that it makes people drool. She is not only familiar with the ways of doing business, but she is also a skilled housekeeper.
What's particularly important is that Qingwen was raised by Yuzhu himself.
In a word, I can’t put it down!
Yuzhu held Qingwen across his lap and had to work with her every time he finished processing an official document.
"Erlang, please, don't touch me, it's itchy..." Qingwen begged for mercy in a low voice.
Yuzhu won't listen to her, just do whatever you want.
As a result, after going back and forth, he rolled onto the couch again.
After the heat was over, Qingwen bit Yuzhu's left ear and said vaguely: "From now on, my husband will not go to court early?"
Yuzhu is very happy, a cultured and talented woman, but she is annoying.
"Death under the peony flowers, becoming an immortal is also romantic." Yuzhu smiled softly and picked up the delicate and weak Qingwen, "Let my husband take care of your bathing, hehe."
After having enough intimacy and freshening up, Yuzhu simply left all the affairs in the study room to Qingwen.
Qingwen was a woman raised by Yuzhu himself, so it was only appropriate for her to be responsible for receiving and pre-processing relatively confidential documents.
Even though Qingwen was studying late, her hairpin and small regular script strokes crushed the jade pillars.
Unexpectedly, Qingwen imitated Yuzhu's handwriting and wrote a few small words: I will never let you down!
Yuzhu touched his chin, feeling extremely satisfied. This girl really didn't live in vain.
To be able to imitate the ugly characters of Yuzhu so vividly is obvious that Qingwen put in a lot of hard work.
If Qingwen doesn't have Yuzhu in her heart, why should she do this?
At this time, Wu Jiang came to report, "Go back to me, Mr. Zhou. Please see me."
When Zhou Quan entered the house, he happened to catch a glimpse of jade skirt disappearing around the corner outside the study.
Well, Zhou Quan knew in his heart that it must be the Lord's new favorite concubine, Zhao Qingwen.
Before Yuzhu came to this world, the subordinates in the group company were very smart and omitted the subtitles and directly called him Mr. Zhao.
Because Qingwen was extremely disgusted and resentful, she betrayed her biological father and refused to tell her true surname.
Yuzhu thought about it and asked Qingwen to adopt the surname Zhao.
"I pay my respects to you, Your Majesty." After Zhou Quan entered the house, he bowed to the ground in a very polite manner.
However, Zhou Quan's title is neither Zhu Gong, who follows the trend, nor Dong Weng, who is exclusively used by Wendena, but Lord Lord, which has a special meaning.
"Zhusheng, how many times have I told you, why should you care about false courtesy when you come to my place?" Yuzhu said the truth.
It's extremely cold at high places.
To this day, what Yuzhu lacks is not his old subordinates who are afraid of him, but true friends who dare to speak out and give advice.
However, Zhou Quan was also a former scholar who was well-read in poetry and books. He was very knowledgeable about etiquette. Every time he saw Yuzhu, he would bow to the ground and perform the rituals.
"Sit wherever you want." Yuzhu led by example and took the lead in sitting at the small round table.
The small round table is quite good. There is no distinction between priority and order. It lacks the overly solemn sense of priority and is more conducive to Zhou Quan's ability to speak freely.
After Zhou Quan returned to Beijing, as soon as he settled down with his family, he took the initiative to become a disciple of Yuzhu.
"I would like to counsel the Lord." Zhou Quan didn't say much, but he spoke loudly.
Because Zhou Quan was deprived of his fame, as long as Kangxi lived, he would never be able to become an official.
Therefore, Yuzhu spent a lot of money to hire Zhou Quan as his Xing Mingshi.
Song Jiang only gave Wu Song ten taels of silver and some sweet words, which made Wu Song give up.
Chai Jin took care of Wu Song for more than a year. Before leaving, he gave Wu Song a large bag of money, but in exchange he only said to Wu Song: "You have really disturbed the high official."
To put it bluntly, it’s a routine that moves people’s hearts.
Treat your confidants as if they are your confidants. The money can be divided later, and the official position can be slightly lower, but the attitude towards your confidants must be unusual that he can feel.
"Zhu Sheng likes to drink light tea, or pickled tea." Yuzhu didn't ask Zhou Quan, and directly ordered his favorite tea.
After tea was served, Yuzhu gave another order: "Zhusheng eats a small amount and gets hungry quickly. Please order the kitchen to cook a small bowl of chicken soup and shredded pork noodles, less oil, less salt, but more chopped green onion. Oh, that's right.
, and some of our specialty pickles.”
"Hey." Wu Jiang agreed and went down.
Zhou Quan didn't say thank you and drank tea calmly.
It’s a great kindness, why do you need to say thank you?
Xiao En, needless to say!
Ever since Yuzhu risked his life to pardon his family, Zhou Quan had made up his mind: A scholar will die for his confidant!
If you are not afraid of death, why should you care about these common rituals?
"Your Majesty, judging from the opinions of my disciples, I am afraid that Your Majesty has already paid attention to Fourth Elder Brother." Zhou Quan put down the tea cup in his hand, not looking at the jade pillar, but staring at the plum branches outside the window, "The Crown Prince is already in danger.
The elder brother was too ostentatious, and the third elder brother was too feminine. Originally, the thirteenth elder brother was quite promising, but unfortunately, he did something wrong and was completely rejected by the emperor. As for the fourteenth elder brother, he was too much.
He is arrogant, not good at winning over people's hearts, and has the air of no one to rule him."
"The powerful ministers of ancient times were either usurped or killed by their clans, without exception. With the power of the Lord, the power of the fire, the unparalleled favor, even if he is a cousin to the fourth prince, or even has the merit of supporting him. Alas, in the future,
, and I’m afraid it won’t end well.”
"The disciples are planning for the master. Instead of making wedding clothes for others, why not build an inheritance for eternity?"
These extremely taboo and harsh words were dared to be spoken by the unscrupulous Zhou Quan.
Even Tang Bing, no matter how well he knew in his heart, did not dare to speak nonsense because his family had a big business and a lot of implications.
Without desire, one is strong, and his mind is extremely clear. At this time, Zhou Quan's back is straight.
Yuzhu knew in his heart that this was a surrender certificate deliberately handed over by Zhou Quan.
Zhou Quan was not an ordinary person, but a great talent who had obtained the title of Juren.
As long as any scholar in this era can succeed in the examination, which one is not full of bad news?
There is no way around it. In the Twenty-Three Histories, there are very few figures of ordinary people. They are full of princes and generals. You cheated on me, father and son killed each other, and brothers fought against each other.
"Huo Guang's hand was soft, and in exchange for the family's execution, the Lord must not ignore it." Zhou Quan raised his chin, stared at Yuzhu's face, looked at it for a while, and suddenly knelt down and kowtowed, "If you don't do this, Luo Yan will definitely die.
I, my Lord, am willing to die for the Lord."
Yuzhu was unaware for a moment, but Zhou Quan brutally defeated his entire army.
"Zhusheng, you are serious. I have always been cautious and self-restrained and never made any public announcements. Why should I die?" Yuzhu is also an old bureaucrat. How could he be easily forced onto a pirate ship by Zhou Quan?
Zhou Quan chuckled softly and said: "Huan Yuanzi missed the opportunity and died. Jinu was much smarter. He controlled the elites of Beifu. If he did not replace Jin, he would be the second Huan Yuanzi."
Of course, Yuzhu could not express his position right away, but the flaw had been revealed and Zhou Quan knew it.
To put it bluntly, after Zhou Quan took action against the general, even if Yuzhu acted flawlessly, it was of no avail.
Sending Zhou Quan to see Kangxi would definitely arouse Kang Mazi's suspicion.
This is what Yue Zhongqi, a political idiot, did. Yongzheng held back at first, then settled the accounts and completely knocked Yue to the ground.
After capturing Jinling and destroying Changmao, Wang Kaiyun persuaded Zeng Guofan to take advantage of the victorious Hunan army and simply rebel against the Qing court.
Zeng Guofan pretended not to know anything, but instead received the posthumous title of Wenzheng and died a happy death.
On the surface, Yuzhu obviously has a way out.
