Lin Xiao'er heard that Lin Yan'er now has a separate small courtyard, and has ten taels of silver per month. The clothes of the four seasons have several pieces of brocade used by the emperor to make dragon robes, and there are four little girls waiting on her. She can't help but
Very pleased.
"Sister, don't think too much. Since the deal is settled, just live a good life with the man named Zhao." Lin Yan'er was worried that Lin Xiaoer couldn't think about it, so she deliberately enlightened her.
"Oh, the life of our daughter's family is so hard!" Lin Xiaoer read a lot of books and learned all the skills of playing piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, and poetry. In the end, she ended up with the fate of a cheap concubine. It's really
I feel a little unwilling to do so.
Lin Yan'er thought for a while and said: "If you really don't want to live with the man named Zhao, when I give birth to a fat son for our second master, I will beg him to redeem you and let you set up a family of your own."
It’s actually more comfortable for a female household to live alone.”
How should I put it? It’s better to enjoy the shade if you have your back against a big tree.
Yuzhu personally greeted Zhao Donghe and asked for someone. As long as he opened his mouth, he would definitely get what he wanted.
Lin Yaner still has this confidence.
Lin Xiaoer sighed and said, "He has changed a lot in these days, and he is as gentle and considerate to me as before. Let's see for now."
Lin Yaner understood immediately after hearing it. Lin Xiaoer had not completely given up on Zhao Donghe and still had hope of living a good life.んttps://www.
Also, now, as long as Lin Yan'er firmly grasps Yu Zhu's heart, there is no fear that Zhao Donghe will neglect Lin Xiao'er.
Two biological sisters are inseparable.
Before Zhao Donghe could say goodbye, the concierge came to report one after another, and Yuzhu's classmates at Shuntian Mansion came to congratulate him in twos and threes.
None of these classmates had close friendship with Yuzhu, they just came to give a generous gift, meet him, and save face.
Familiarity is a treasure, face is also a favor, and sophistication is also part of the world.
After all the classmates from Shuntian Prefecture School left, classmates from the same year who had passed the provincial examination came one after another.
People in the same year and classmates can easily be confused. In the same year of the provincial examination, it specifically refers to the fellow examiner who was on the Guipang together with Yuzhu.
In the future, if Yuzhu wins the Jinshi, then all the Jinshi in that department will be considered to be of the same year as him.
There are one or two hundred Jinshi teams in the same year. This is actually a great force.
Once Yuzhu gains power, all he needs to do is wave his hand, and these people will naturally gather under his banner.
In the Qing Dynasty, people from the same hometown, classmates, maternal clan, wife clan and in-laws were all considered natural potential allies.
Zhao Donghe had a very thick face, and when Yuzhu was entertaining guests, he refused to leave.
It's okay if he doesn't leave. Zhao Donghe's face is thicker than the Great Wall, and he actually accompanies Yuzhu to entertain guests in a grand manner.
Not to mention, it was a good opportunity for him to seize.
Zhou Quan, the only son of Zhou Kuang, the current doctor of the Literature and Selection Department of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, was actually the same year as Yuzhu’s provincial examination.
Even though the official position of a doctor in the Literary and Selection Department of the Ministry of Civil Affairs is only the fifth rank, it is an extremely critical position.
How should I put it, except for the rocket-like officials specially awarded by the emperor, all officials who are to be promoted or transferred must be compiled by the doctor of the literary selection department and handed over to the ministers and ministers of the Ministry of Personnel.
discuss it and then report it to the emperor for inspection.
This real power is so powerful.
Zhou Quan didn't really want to come to visit Yuzhu. He was a Han, so why should he try to please the banner people?
The main reason was that Zhou Quan's biological father, Zhou Kuang, knew a shocking news in advance. Yuzhu's eighth uncle, Qingtai, who acted as General Jiangning, would be transferred back to the capital to take up the post of Zuo Shilang, a full member of the Ministry of Civil Affairs.
As usual, Zuo Shilang, a full member of the Ministry of Personnel, was also in charge of the Literary and Selection Department. This was Zhou Kuang's immediate boss.
Today, among the six central departments of the imperial court, if there is a Han minister, there must be a Manchu minister, and if there is a Han minister, there must be a Manchu minister. If there is a disagreement between the Manchu ministers and the Han ministers, the opinions of the Manchu ministers will prevail as usual.
The so-called Manchu-Han family relationship is just a cover-up!
With the foundation of the relationship of the same year of the provincial examination, Yuzhu would not have given Zhou Quan a cold shoulder even if his family backgrounds were extremely different.
Zhou Quan originally thought that with Yuzhu's tyrannical family background, he must be an arrogant and arrogant guy.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Quan felt the warmth like the spring breeze blowing on his face at Yuzhu.
Those who were in the same year of the provincial examination also sat down and left immediately when they came, not even taking a sip of tea.
However, even if the last person on the list bids farewell and leaves in the same year, Yuzhu will definitely go to the gate in person and see him off.
If nothing else, this kind of humility in treating his peers is extremely admirable and convincing.
The Han Chinese scholars who originally had secret prejudices against Yuzhu could not help but secretly raise their thumbs, what a polite Manchu Jieyuan Gong!
It was almost dusk, and Zhao Donghe finally led Lin Xiaoer away.
When Yuzhu came back from seeing off the guests, he just sat down on the bamboo couch. He saw Lin Yaner, like a baby swallow throwing herself into the forest, threw herself into his arms, hooked her arms around his neck, and said with her red lips pouting: "Master, it still hurts."
, can you help me rub it?"
Yuzhu smiled slightly, this woman, after being broken by him, became bold in the blink of an eye.
In the past, Lin Yan'er didn't dare to touch her nose and face like this. She even stopped calling her second master.
"Well, I still have some important entertainment. Just clean up and wait on the couch." Before Yuzhu could finish his words, Sun Chengyun came again.
After Yuzhu and Sun Chengyun went out together, Lin Yan'er ordered someone to call Qin Yaoniang to him and directly threatened: "Listen carefully, you are not allowed to get even half a step closer to the second master without my words in the future. Do you understand?"
Today is different from the past. Lin Yan'er has already passed the status of a quasi-concubine. It is more than enough for her to put on airs and threaten Qin Yaoniang.
Qin Yaoniang looked at the four girls who were watching eagerly. She knew she was outmatched, so she had to lower her head obediently.
However, after Qin Yaoniang went out, she went to find Hanshuang.
Hanshuang looked at the high-spirited Qin Yaoniang and said with a smile: "Today, this is a great opportunity for Lin Yan'er to seize and benefit her. However, the examination of the Ministry of Rites and the palace examination..." Stopped suddenly.
.
Qin Yaoniang was once the wife of Zhizhou, how could she not understand Hanshuang's meaning?
Hanshuang seems to have said nothing, but in fact, he has said everything.
Lin Yan'er took advantage of Yuzhu High School to solve the problem of Duke Yuan, and took the lead, and naturally became Master Yu's first woman. This is fate, and no one can fight for it.
However, there are still opportunities for the general examination and imperial examination. It depends on whether smart people can seize it.
Hanshuang is just stating the facts. If Qin Yaoniang gets into big trouble because of this, she has nothing to do with Hanshuang.
Hanshuang was the girl in charge and the maid in the study next to Yuzhu. It was just a matter of her words to mobilize the girls and women in the courtyard and temporarily move their posts.
Everything is ready, it just depends on whether Qin Yaoniang is brave enough!
When Yuzhu and Sun Chengyun arrived at Zhimei Building, fifth elder brother Yinqi had already arrived.
According to common sense, the higher the status of a person, the later he should arrive. However, the fifth elder brother Yinqi happened to arrive early, which was very close and not showy.
Sun Chengyun had seen Yinqi's face before, and he was frightened by the ravines at that time.
This time, even though he was prepared in his heart, the strange look in his eyes still did not completely stop, which made the sensitive Yinqi look at him.
Yuzhu looked at Yinqi with a normal heart as usual, without pity or fear.
Yinqi couldn't help but feel warm in his heart. Before everyone could sit down, he called out loudly: "Mei Niang, come out and meet my Anda."
In a short time, while Yuzhu and Sun Chengyun were looking at each other, a Manchu noblewoman wearing a bright red brocade cheongsam walked up to them gracefully.
"Concubine, he is the Tara clan. Please pay your respects to Uncle Yu."
(Author's note: The Manchu word "brother-in-law" is very awkward even if it is transliterated, so I will use the Chinese word "uncle" instead. Please forgive me.)
Yuzhu hurriedly dodged to the side, good boy, Yinqi actually brought his direct descendant Fujin, this is the best of all the members of the family.
"Brother Yuzhu, please give my sister-in-law a greeting." Yuzhu stopped pretending that Yinqi was so considerate, and went straight down to pay his respects to Tara Xuemei.
"Concubine, he is the Tara family, and I am going to pay homage to Sun Efu." He, the Tara family, Xuemei, knelt down again to pay homage to Sun Chengyun.
Sun Chengyun quickly avoided it, then bowed his head and greeted him with a thousand greetings.
"As a small carrier, I would like to ask you to be in charge of Da'an."
According to the rules of the Qing Dynasty, Sun Chengyun, a Heshuo Fufu, had a rank equivalent to the first-class Duke of Zhenguo.
If Sun Chengyun marries the Queen's daughter, Princess Gu Lun, then he will be a concubine of Gu Lun, and his rank will be equivalent to that of Gu Shan Beizi.
Tala's Xuemei was the direct descendant of Dorobele Yinqi. His wife was as noble as her husband, and her status was much higher than that of Sun Chengyun.
If Princess Heshuo and Jingjing were present, because of her higher status than the prince, including Yinqi, they would all give her a thousand salutes.
In the room, apart from the four of them, there were only servants and servants, and no one else.
Yinqi was obviously in a great mood. He greeted directly: "Today is a family banquet. Everyone, please sit down. If you are too polite, you will get angry." It was still Mongolian.
After Tara Xuemei sat down next to Yinqi, Yuzhu translated Yinqi's words to Sun Chengyun with a smile.
Sun Chengyun had learned a little bit of Manchu, but knew nothing about Mongolian, so he had to rely on Yuzhu's translation.
After everyone was seated firmly, Yinqi gave a high-five and saw two young eunuchs slowly walking in carrying a large tray.
Yuzhu took a look and said, "Hey, roasted whole lamb with milk. This is the highest etiquette for Manchu nobles to entertain Anda."
Perhaps because he was afraid of being restrained by Yuzhu, Yinqi got up first and cut off the two most tender tenderloins on the back of the roasted suckling lamb with a knife. He grabbed them with his hands and placed them on the plate in front of Yuzhu.
Wow, such a fierce grassland style is really rare!
Since Yinqi had set an example, Yuzhu did not hesitate. He directly grabbed a piece of tenderloin with his hand, took a big bite, and started chewing hard.
With a click, Wen Quxing descended to earth and Duke Jie Yuang was completely wiped out.
"Haha, okay, my Yinqi's Anda has never disappointed anyone. Come here, bring me the mare's milk wine from the grassland." Yinqi felt happy in his heart, and the rugged style of the Mongolian man hidden in his bones could no longer be suppressed.
Constantly exposed.
(ps: There is a big drama coming later, how can you not enjoy the monthly ticket?)
