At the family dinner in the evening, relatives and friends of Lao Tong's family came in droves, and soon more than eighty tables were served.
Fortunately, Longkodo is a lively guy and often has large gatherings at home. There are many tables, chairs and benches at home, so he can easily accommodate them.
Tong Guowei was at the head of the table, and Long Keduo, the third eldest, sat at the second seat. The eldest brother Ye Keshu, the second son De Kexin, and many younger brothers sat on both sides.
Yuzhu, holding a pot in one hand, stood beside his grandfather Tong Guowei, pouring wine in turn for the family elders who came to toast.
Orundai came over with a toast and said with a smile: "Eqike, congratulations to you, old man, for being honored as the head of state again."
Hey, this bastard is talking nonsense!
Empress Xiaokangzhang was the biological mother of Kangxi, the biological sister of Tong Guowei, and the biological aunt of Longkodo and Elundai.
With this extremely close blood relationship, Tong Guowei is the legitimate uncle of the country.
Empress Xiaoyi, the adoptive mother of the fourth child, was Tong Guowei's eldest daughter. From this level of relationship, Tong Guowei was also the father-in-law of the dynasty.
However, after little Concubine Tong became the imperial concubine, Tong Guowei was not qualified to be called the father-in-law of the country.
The deputy empress, not the empress, is the great moral code of the country!
Tong Guowei had long known that Elundai's words were unreliable, and he didn't bother to get to know him, so he just pretended not to hear him.
"Cousin, I must remind you, as descendants of foreign relatives, we must not use random names." Longkodo was in high spirits. He endured it again and again, but finally couldn't hold it back anymore and scolded Elundai in public.
Orundai glared and said angrily: "What, third child, your wings are so stiff that you don't even want to call me brother anymore?"
In the past, Tong Guowei always doted on the eldest brother Ye Keshu and the second child Deke Xin, while neglecting the mischievous Long Keduo.
Tong Guogang died early, and Elundai not only inherited the distinguished title of First-Class Chengen Duke early, but was also deeply trusted and reused by Kang Mazi. It can be said that he was rich and powerful.
At that time, Longkodo liked to follow Elundai's butt, eating, drinking and having fun.
As the saying goes, if you ask for something, you will bend your back.
At that time, Longkodo was far from the time to take control of the military. In order to show his close relationship with Elundai, he was always called eldest brother, and deliberately omitted the word "tang".
Once, when Elundai got drunk, he told Yuzhu personally that all the remaining women he had been dating were accepted by Longkodo.
In front of his own son, exposing his own father's shortcomings, isn't this a curse?
Damn, you are so generous!
The bigger the family, the more dirty things happen inside the mansion.
Nowadays, Orundai has obviously fallen out of favor. His original position as Minister of the Bodyguard with the Yellow Flag has long been replaced by Yuzhu.
This person, when he is in the ascendant, is often very generous and tolerant of people and things.
Once you are unlucky, your thinking will inevitably become much narrower, and your self-esteem will also become many times stronger.
Today's Longkodo has really strong wings.
Putting aside the popularity of Yuzhu, just the importance of Longkodo in the mind of the old emperor, it is not a problem to kill five Orundai instantly.
To put it bluntly, no matter how foolish the old emperor was, he would never have given over 30,000 troops inside and outside the capital to a bastard like Orundai to take charge of.
"Brother, you are my cousin!" Longkodo also got angry and attacked hard, making Elundai roll his eyes.
"Good boy, have you grown more capable?" Elundai rolled up his sleeves and wanted to rush over and beat Longkodo.
Elundai had been Kang Mazi's confidant for a long time, but he simply suffered a big loss due to his too reckless temper, and was eventually given up by the old emperor.
As the saying goes, I got up early and rushed to a late market, which is what I mean by Orundai.
Naturally, Yuzhu couldn't watch his own father being beaten. He raised his hand, blocked Elundai's way, and said with a smile: "Uncle, today is a good day for our whole family to rejoice. Why do you bother?"
Are you angry? One day, your nephew and I will set up a table with you in Cuixiang Garden to calm your old man's shock."
Your cousin, I, Yuzhu, follow Longkodo’s name, deliberately emphasizing the word cousin, which seems to be justified and impeccable.
In fact, the relationship is really good, so why emphasize the word cousin?
Even if it is a poor family, when you call your eldest cousin, you will always call him eldest brother, and you cannot deliberately add the title cousin to cause trouble.
These words were both a gun and a stick, which made Elundai lose face and found it difficult to get off the stage.
However, Elundai dared to offend Longkodo, but he definitely did not dare to offend Yuzhu.
Just because Yuzhu was the foreman of the imperial minister, he spent much more time with the old emperor every day than even Wei Zhu, that eggless eunuch.
If Longkodo wanted to see the old emperor, he had to hand in a sign in front of the Xihua Gate and wait until the old emperor summoned him before he could enter the Qianqing Palace.
This is similar to when Emperor Tianqi was in power, Tian Ergeng, the commander of the Imperial Guard, was ten times more obedient to Eunuch Wei than his own grandson.
There are many reasons, the most critical of which is: with the help of the Holy Lady Guest (qiě, not pronounced ke), the 9,000-year-old emperor can see the emperor doing carpentry work anytime and anywhere, which gives him a preemptive advantage.
Compare.
There is no way, people must bow their heads when under the eaves.
It is no exaggeration to say that in Lao Tong's family, the good times belonging to Orundai are gone forever.
As a relative who was not in the fifth server, Yuzhu could not have killed Elundai, but he had the ability to let Elundai go to the ancient pagoda of Guanwai Ning in the ice and snow to enjoy the extremely sour and "good" taste.
Not to mention anything else, Lao Jiu and Lao Ten were sent to guard the mausoleum by Yuzhu.
According to the rules, women are not allowed to guard the mausoleum. In addition to the guards, there are also eggless eunuchs. They can't eat well, can't sleep well, and are miserable!
"Long Laosan, you wait for me." Elundai tossed his sleeves and left. He couldn't afford to offend Yuzhu, so was he still afraid of Long Keduo?
Orundai left angrily.
Yuzhu couldn't help but smile hoarsely. This scene looked very much like the cowards of later generations who couldn't beat them, were unwilling to lose face, and liked to put on a show.
Just wait for the veteran, don't leave if you have the guts, this is what it tastes like!
Tong Guowei twitched his beard and smiled slightly, and said: "Zhu'er, your uncle is a good-tempered elder who doesn't throw things."
Hey, isn't this ironic?
Everyone in the old Tong family knows that Elundai is not afraid of anything. He throws things and hits chairs. What else can he not dare to do?
In a wealthy family, no matter how many resources there are, they are definitely limited. Who is cared for and who is not cared for depends on the estimated level of investment and income.
The small turmoil caused by Orundai is like a storm in a teapot. It cannot cause big waves at all, and no one else cares.
At this time, someone raised a wine glass, came up to Tong Guowei, and said respectfully: "Master Abha (father-in-law) is here, my son-in-law would like to give you a drink."
