"But Yuzhu?" The man on the horse spoke in a fluent Mongolian language.
Yuzhu looked up and saw his fifth elder brother, Yinqi, riding on a horse, looking at him with a smile.
The fourth elder brother beside him glanced at the fifth elder brother calmly, turned his head, and moved his gaze to Yuzhu.
"Jinke Huiyuan, I, Yuzhu, respectfully send you greetings to the Holy One." Yuzhu kowtowed and said hello, deliberately using Manchu.
The fifth elder brother cannot speak Chinese well, and the fourth elder brother cannot understand Mongolian, but they are both proficient in Manchu.
There is no way, today these two elder brothers are all imperial envoys with orders, and they represent the supreme imperial power.
Yuzhu dared not to kowtow, hey, he didn't pass the imperial examination, he was arrested and thrown into prison.
The crime is also ready-made, how disrespectful!
"Holy blessing!" The fifth elder brother cupped his fists and raised his hands to the sky, with a solemn expression as he responded to Yuzhu's blessing.
"Yili. Come, bring a horse to Yuzhu and ask him to serve as the translator."
"嗻."
Following the fifth elder brother's instructions, someone immediately brought a big yellow horse to Yuzhu.
As a result, Yuzhu felt a little embarrassed.
In the corridor, all the way to the entrance of the Duke's Palace, there was a long line of elders such as Mafa, Ama, Amouqi (uncle) and Eqike (uncle). How dare he ride a horse and go to the entrance of the palace?
However, if Yuzhu leads the horse away and the imperial envoys always lean over to talk to him, this can be regarded as one of the most disrespectful!
The fifth elder brother's reaction was slower, while the fourth elder brother was more precise. He had already seen Yuzhu's embarrassment.
"Lao Wu, we are almost there, why don't we dismount and take a walk?" Si Age took the initiative and rescued Yuzhu.
Dai Duo, who was waiting on the side, couldn't help but sigh secretly. When did the Fourth Master, known as the cold-faced King of Hell, become so considerate?
In the past, Fourth Master wouldn’t care if you were embarrassed or not, but now he is obviously very considerate of your talent!
The fourth elder brother and the fifth elder brother got off their horses, and, accompanied by Yuzhu, walked along the narrow road towards the front of the mansion.
Along the way, the children and grandchildren of Lao Tong's family stared at Yuzhu with special envy.
Everyone's knees hurt, but this outsider was actually accompanying the two elder brothers, chatting and laughing.
This person is just afraid of comparison. If you don’t compare, you don’t know. If you compare, you will vomit and get internal injuries!
The fourth brother was familiar with the situation of Lao Tong's family, so he asked Yuzhu: "Have you moved back?" He used Manchu.
Yuzhu leaned forward and replied respectfully: "Back to Mr. Beile, today is the birthday of student Mafa. Amma brought the student back to celebrate his birthday."
The fourth elder brother nodded and smiled knowingly. He knew all the nonsense about the old Tong family.
"In my opinion, it's better to live outside. How comfortable is it outside?" The fifth elder brother Yinqi had no contact with the old Tong family. He was only interested in Yuzhu.
The fourth elder brother glanced at the fifth elder brother, hey, how biased do you have to be to say such a thing?
"When the imperial examination is over, and you have won the imperial examination and been awarded an official, will you come with me to the Lifan Academy?" The fifth elder brother endured it again and again, and he couldn't help but promised, "With your talent as an interpreter, I will give you a
Among the top five doctors, they are all inferior."
Isn’t this poaching in public?
The fourth elder brother was not happy. He coughed lightly and said, "Supervising the river construction, checking the account books, and chasing up the debts. These are the serious things."
If it were in the past, the fifth elder brother would not argue with the fourth elder brother. After all, he has no hope of becoming a big official. No matter who he offends, he will always worry about settling accounts in the future.
It's just that the quality of Yuzhu's translation at Tuoerbi's house last time won a lot of praise. The fifth elder brother used it very smoothly and couldn't let it go.
"Fourth brother, brother, I have never asked you for anything, please stop fighting with me for the jade pillar, right?" The fifth elder brother held his fists and handed over his hands unprecedentedly, begging the fourth brother.
The fourth child looked deeply at Yuzhu, hesitated for a moment, and finally shook his head and said: "This boy is a practical man, so he should do serious errands. Fifth brother, will you give way to me?"
"
"Then let the brothers climb the mountain, each according to his own ability." The meaning of the fifth elder brother is very obvious. Since they are unwilling to let go, only Khan Ama can see Zhenzhang.
When it came to Kangxi's presence, the fourth elder brother would probably not be able to compete with the fifth elder brother.
There was nothing he could do. As long as Kangxi saw the face of his fifth elder brother, he could not hide the guilt and overwhelming fatherly love in his heart.
Yuzhu saw that the fourth elder brother was embarrassed, and he knew it was not good, so he quickly handed over his hand to smooth things over, and said with a smile: "Two gentlemen, the student's ambition is to continue studying in the Common Hall for a few years."
"Humph, you only have such a small future?" The fourth child's suppressed anger was directed at Yuzhu's head instead of directed at the fifth elder brother.
The fifth child also felt uncomfortable. He asked the fourth child for the first time. The fourth child was so disrespectful. It would be better to stay away from him in the future.
Being fought over by two elder brothers in public is not a good thing for Yuzhu. When the occasion comes, it is easy for someone to give him eye drops.
Thanks to Yuzhu's cleverness, he didn't let the fourth and fifth sons say harsh words in a hurry.
In that case, there will be big trouble!
The people around him, including Dai Duo, broke out in a cold sweat.
The confidants of the fifth elder brother simply do not want to see the fifth elder brother offend the brothers at will. https://www./
Dai Duo kept sweating, worried that his fourth brother would not be calm and offend his fifth elder brother, who was especially favored by God.
It would be unwise for Brother Si, who aspires to become a powerful man, to offend a strong and neutral faction like Lao Wu!
However, Yuzhu stopped the two ancestors from getting angry in public in time, which left a very deep and good impression on Dai Duo.
This boy is indeed extremely clever and extraordinary!
When they were approaching the gate of the Duke's Mansion of the old Tong family, they saw the Tong family, led by Tong Guowei, shouting together, "Minions, please greet me!"
"Holy greetings!" Si Age was the official envoy who issued the decree this time, and he responded to everyone's greetings.
The fourth elder brother personally took action, helped Tong Guowei up, and said gently: "Khan Ama has given an oral instruction. Uncle Guowei can take over the order immediately."
It is indeed true that Kangxi treated his uncle particularly favorably.
Tong Guowei wanted to kneel down to thank him again, but the fifth elder brother quickly supported him and said affectionately: "Khan Ama is sure that the boss will not lose his courtesy, so he specially ordered us two brothers to take care of him nearby."
Therefore, with the joint efforts of the fourth and fifth elder brothers, Tong Guowei was helped into the Qinqin Hall with a plaque inscribed by Kangxi himself.
The old Tong family has two dukes in one family, and eleven sons and nephews, each occupying important positions.
There are quite a lot of guests on my birthday today, and all the courtyards are filled with distinguished guests from all walks of life.
After the fourth elder brother and the fifth elder brother entered the Qinqin Hall, they leaned against the incense table set up and faced the door. The fourth elder brother issued the edict in public.
"I entrust you with this imperial edict!" Si Age held the edict in his hand and shouted in a deep voice.
"Hula la..." Everyone in Old Tong's family, no matter the master, slaves or guests, knelt all over the floor in darkness.
"I respectfully listen to the edict!"
"On February 15, the forty-fifth year of Kangxi's reign, the cabinet issued an edict... Tong Guo maintained my close uncle with outstanding achievements... He was given three-eyed feathers, reinstated as minister of state affairs, and was rewarded with twenty Eastern pearls... ...I admire this."
In the Qing Dynasty, the three-eyed hualing was much more valuable than the first-class civil nobility.
Before the Qianlong Dynasty, the most noble princes, princes, and Beile did not wear flower feathers. Only Beizi and Gu Lun were qualified to wear three-eyed flower feathers.
It is no exaggeration to say that in the entire 270-year history of the Qing Dynasty, only six Manchu ministers and one Han minister were awarded the honor of having three eyes.
Even Zeng Guofan didn't get Sanyan Hua Ling, but he benefited Li Hefei and Li Zhongtang.
Tong Guowei got a big deal, so he was naturally overjoyed and wanted to kneel down to thank him, but was supported by his fifth elder brother again.
Yuzhu knew in his heart that Tong Guowei was getting older and older. Kangxi loved and cared about his uncle, so this was a consolation prize before his death.
Anyway, even if Tong Guowei wears the three-eyed feather, how long can he wear it?
After the decree was issued, Yuzhu once again accompanied the fifth elder brother and acted as his translator.
After sitting down, Tong Guowei was still in the middle, with the fourth elder brother on the left and the fifth elder brother on the right.
The prince's elder brother came in to announce the decree, and all the male heads of the Tong family came to pay homage to the imperial envoy.
When Yue Xing'a came in, knelt down to see the fourth elder brother, and then knelt down to see the fifth elder brother.
Yuzhu deliberately pulled the fifth elder brother and whispered about Hong Hao's education issues, leaving Yue Xing'a completely exposed on the spot.
Yue Xing'a punched Yuzhu in public, and no one was behind his back, so many people saw it.
The fourth elder brother, who is the only one qualified to help Yue Xing'a, will rescue Yue Xing'a at this time only if his brain is flooded.
The talented Yuzhu is particularly favored by Long Keduo. Who is his dandy Yue Xing'a? Do you know him?
Between these two people, what would Si Age choose? Do you still need to ask?
As a result, Yue Xing'a knelt down for more than a quarter of an hour.
Originally, there was a kneeling mat on the ground. Yue Xing'a thought he would get up as soon as he knelt down, so he knelt directly on the cold ground.
Who would have thought that Yuzhu deliberately broke up with Yue Xing'a in front of everyone.
The fifth elder brother is also willing to serve as a shield for Yuzhu. Why, his Anda, his son's teacher, he has to protect him for once, can't he?
Not convinced? Well, let’s go to Khan Amma to reason with him?
If Tong Guowei said something, the fifth elder brother would probably give him face. After all, he is the birthday boy today.
However, Tong Guowei deliberately pretended to be deaf and dumb, as if he hadn't seen it.
There was a complete break between Yuzhu, the pillar of the fourth generation, and Yue Xing'a, the prodigal son. Any feudal patriarch would have given up on Yue Xing'a.
The chief steward Tong Liu was a witness to the whole incident. He knelt down by the door with his head bowed, but in his heart he despised Yue Xing'a.
No matter how much hatred you have, you can't use violence against your brother when the imperial envoy is about to arrive, right?
Many people saw it. Yue Xing'a, the idiot, beat up "Huiyuan"'s biological brother in public. Yuzhu was very graceful and did not fight back.
Well, we have to pay the bills in June quickly. It won’t be long before the retribution comes.
Yuzhu didn't say a word, but let Yue Xing'a lose all his face. How powerful is this?
There were many discerning people, so they all said nothing and watched Yue Xing'a fall into the sinkhole.
Everyone in the room chatted with the two elder brothers, and completely ignored Yue Xing'a who was kneeling on the ground.
After Yue Xing'a knelt down for two quarters of an hour, after being reminded by Yuzhu, the fifth elder brother seemed to have just remembered and asked Yue Xing'a in surprise: "Today is a day of great joy for our ancestors, why are you still here?"
Stamp it here?" It was deliberately used in Mongolian.
After Yuzhu's translation, everyone understood it.
Hey, Fifth Brother, this is just a slap in the face!
Yue Xing'a tried to get up, but he had no choice. His knees were numb, and he tilted his body and fell to the ground, completely humiliated.
Finally, Yue Xing'a was carried out by Tong Liu and others.
"Sir, just now, Yue Xing'a beat the jade pillar outside the mansion gate in front of everyone." Dai Duo took advantage of the chaos and reported the truth in a low voice.
Originally, the fourth elder brother just thought that Brother Yue Xing had said in public that Yuzhu was not allowed to enter the gate of Lao Tong's house, so he had a grudge.
Now, Brother Si understands the real inside story instantly. Humph, Yue Xing’a is a stupid ass!
(ps: Brothers are very helpful and have added updates in advance. The excitement continues. When the 2,750 monthly tickets are issued, there must be 15,000 words of additional updates!)
