Why is it that Yuzhu is still young and Li Si'er keeps a close eye on him, fearing that the girls around Yuzhu will damage his body by hooking her?
On weekdays, as Li Si'er's support for the rest of his life, Yuzhu could almost control the situation. However, the girl who tried to climb into bed would definitely not be spared lightly.
Aunt Liu had watched Yuzhu grow up, so she knew exactly what kind of character a man was like. Since Yuzhu had something to worry about, Aunt Liu simply gave him a reassurance.
"Second Master, don't worry. All the slaves sold by our house will be properly instructed in advance." It was impossible for Grandma Liu to say it explicitly, she could only hint to this extent.
Yuzhu felt relieved and cheered up. After having a sumptuous dinner with Li Si'er, he returned to his own yard.
After Yuzhu was born, Li Si'er was worried that his precious son would be wronged, so he equipped him with an extremely luxurious lineup of slaves.
According to the rules of the Tong family, the minor master should have a nanny, two eldest girls, two personal servants, four second-class maids, third-class maids and several rough ladies.
Li Si'er is full of resentment and comparison, so now there are four big girls, eight second-class girls, and six young boys around Yuzhu. As for the rough envoy and the third-class girl, they are even more than
There were as many as twenty people.
Not only that, Longkodo, who loved his youngest son especially, also assigned Yuzhu with two stewards, eight attendants, and ten guards with swords in the study room of the outer courtyard.
It is no exaggeration to say that, except that there are no eunuchs to serve around him, the treatment Yuzhu now enjoys has exceeded that of the princes and elder brothers in the palace who have not been entrusted with enfeoffment.
After returning to the inner study, Yuzhu drank half a cup of tea and continued to practice calligraphy with his wrists hanging. After a long period of pondering, summarizing, formatting, and following regular eight-part articles, he now has considerable skills.
However, this man is really talented.
In the past, Yuzhu's pen calligraphy was not good. Now, despite practicing for a long time, his calligraphy is still average. Especially for the Guange style required for the imperial examination, so far, it can only be said to be below average.
level.
Since the Tong family is now under the banner of Manzhou Xianghuang, Yuzhu's path to the imperial examination is also fundamentally different from that of ordinary people.
Starting from the eighth year of Shunzhi, when bannermen in Beijing took part in the imperial examination, the imperial censor appointed by the emperor presided over the examination at the Gongyuan of Shuntian Prefecture.
Those who pass the examination are collectively called bannermen and enter the Shuntian Prefecture official school.
As long as they are members of the banner who have entered the Shuntian Prefecture Official School, they can directly participate in the Shuntian Prefecture Township Examination. If you pass the township examination, you are a serious candidate and are eligible to participate in the Rites Examination.
In other words, Yuzhu, who took the exam for the first time, skipped the county and prefecture exams and could directly take the Banner Yuan exam in Shuntian Prefecture, which greatly reduced the burden of the imperial examination.
The special college examination that Yuzhu participated in lasted only one day, and only tested one policy question and one eight-legged essay, but no poems.
"Second Master, please take a break, it's been more than an hour." The eldest girl Han Shuang couldn't bear it anymore and reminded Yu Zhu in a low voice.
Yuzhu happened to feel that his hands were sore, so he simply put down his pen. After wiping his hands, he picked up the teacup and took a sip.
"Second Master, your hands are sore, can I please rub them for you?"
Seeing that Yuzhu kept moving his right wrist, Hanshuang took courage and tried it with a trembling voice.
Yuzhu seemed not to hear, half-squinting his eyes, thinking about what was on his mind.
Today, Hanyue's family had just been dealt with in the upper room. After all, Hanshuang didn't have the guts to arouse the suspicion of climbing on the bed at this juncture.
I don't know how long it took, but Yuzhu suddenly laughed softly and said jokingly: "You are not timid, so help your second master rub it."
Among the girls around Yuzhu, Hanshuang was not the prettiest, nor the smartest, but she was the most loyal. Therefore, Yuzhu left her to serve in the study.
In this era when words cause trouble, the importance of Hanshuang as a maid in the study cannot be overemphasized. Because as long as a piece of paper leaks out of the study, it is likely to lead to death.
Hanshuang was encouraged by Yuzhu, and her courage suddenly became much stronger. She came over with a smile and carefully helped him knead his wrist.
In the middle of the night, Hongxiu rubs her wrists. Even though the beauty is not stunningly beautiful, it can still make people feel happy.
Seeing that Yuzhu was indeed in a good mood, Hanshuang rubbed his wrist and boldly said in a low voice: "Second Master, Sister Hanxiu is getting married the day after tomorrow, slave, slave..." After all, she was a little timid.
Yuzhu thought for a moment that when Hanshuang first entered the courtyard, she was the one led by Hanshuang. In total, she had a master-disciple relationship for several years.
As an eldest girl who was highly valued by Li Si'er and Grandma Liu, Hanxiu was six years older than Yuzhu. She was very steady and alert. That year, not long after Yuzhu was born, Hanxiu was appointed as a third-class girl.
, waiting by his side.
Originally, Li Si'er wanted to keep Hanxiu for a while longer, and then distribute it to the stewards of the house when Yuzhu came of age.
Hanxiu, who is twenty years old, is already considered a super leftover girl in this era. If it takes another five or six years, even if she is barely assigned to the management of the house, she will inevitably suffer from complaints.
After all, Yuzhu is the thinking of modern adults. Giving kindness must be done beautifully and cannot turn into enmity.
At Yuzhu's insistence, not only did Hanxiu and his family release their status bonds, but they also did not arbitrarily assign stewards or servants to Hanxiu, allowing him to marry himself.
As Yuzhu expected, Hanxiu fell in love with her maternal cousin. She would rather be the wife of a merchant family than be a concubine or a slave.
After Hanxiu's engagement, Yuzhu had already prepared a wedding gift and was about to send someone to give it to her.
"Okay, then tomorrow, let's go to her house to add makeup together?"
During this period of time, apart from reading, I just practiced calligraphy, which was indeed a bit boring and boring. Yuzhu also wanted to go shopping, eat and drink, and enjoy shopping by the way.
"Thank you, Second Master." Hanshuang was extremely happy. If it weren't for the strict rules of Aunt Liu, she would have jumped up and cheered.
Li Si'er has been with two men one after another. Now he is in his thirties, but he only has one son, Yuzhu, so he loves her like a treasure.
When Yuzhu was about to go out, Li Si'er was more nervous than anyone else. The steward of the outer courtyard, Chang Sui and the nurse, as well as several big girls from the inner courtyard, all followed him.
Before going out, Li Si'er specially called all the servants into the yard and said with a straight face: "Serve them carefully. If the second master loses a hair, I will skin all of you."
"
"Hey." The servants bowed cautiously. Everyone knew that Li Si'er was not an empty threat.
Today's Li Si'er is not even a concubine. However, the man who obeys her words and is even a little afraid of her is not only the third master of the Tong family, but also the powerful admiral of the Nine Sects.
