Early in the morning, Tongfu Hutong, where Lao Tong's family was located, and the nearby streets and alleys were under martial law by troops sent by the Infantry Army Yamen.
The Tong family, headed by Tong Guoding, sat around in the West Flower Hall. Everyone had tea and chat while waiting for news from the palace.
Not only was Yuzhu junior, he was also young. He was not qualified to sit on the table and could only stand outside the flower hall.
Jielu, the youngest son of Orundai, was standing right in front of the jade pillar.
Jie Lu seized the opportunity and whispered: "Good brother, can you also help me find a good job?"
Yuzhu pretended to be surprised and asked Jielu: "Good brother, isn't it easy for the uncle to arrange an errand for you?"
"Uh..." Jie Lu was choked so much that he rolled his eyes, took several deep breaths, and said with some frustration, "Rely on him to arrange it? Alas, it will be difficult to do it in the year of the monkey. If you hadn't helped me, how could my third brother have done it?
What a good job these days?”
Jielu looked at Yuzhu eagerly, almost drooling at his envious look.
Yuzhu smiled slightly and said: "Good brother, can you please allow me to take a breath? Your third brother just got a job, and now, it is unlikely that Long live the Lord will let go easily."
This meaning is very clear. It is impossible for Elundai's son to take all the advantages.
You must take it slow and figure it out slowly.
"Good brother, I know your side hobbies. Hey, just wait, tomorrow, I will help you find a stunning one." Jielu was afraid that Yuzhu didn't understand, so he emphasized, "I said
The one who is very beautiful is someone else’s wife or grandmother.”
Jielu's bold words made Yuzhu dumbfounded.
However, Jielu was a reckless guy, and Yuzhu was worried that he would be offended, so he quickly found an excuse to refuse.
"Good brother, you must not act rashly. Long live the Lord has been displeased with me recently."
Jielu thought for a while. He wanted to seek an official position, but he couldn't do it by relying on Elundai. He could only count on Yuzhu's help.
If the flattery hits the horse's leg and offends Yuzhu, then he will be beaten!
With many people, there must be more right and wrong!
Among the grandchildren of Tong Guowei's branch, Shun Anyan is the legitimate eldest grandson.
What is more interesting is that the eldest grandson of Tong Guogang, that is, Buxi, the eldest son of Elundai, happens to be one month younger than Shun Anyan.
When discussing family etiquette, I was one day younger and also my younger brother.
No matter what they are like on the inside, they must treat each other as brothers and sisters in a perfunctory manner.
Therefore, among the brothers in Yuzhu's group, Shun Anyan is the leader.
Just after Chenchu, a young eunuch came on horseback to report that the empress of Jingren Palace's chariot would leave the palace at the right time.
It was still early, so the cousins each found a place to sit down and drink tea.
Wu Jiang was very familiar with Yuzhu's living habits, so he specially moved a chair and placed it under the shade of a tree.
As soon as Yuzhu sat down and before he picked up the tea cup, he saw Erundai's younger brother Fahai walking slowly towards him.
"My nephew Yuzhu, I would like to pay my respects to my uncle." Yuzhu did not dare to neglect at all. He stood up quickly and bowed down in a polite manner.
Seeing that Yuzhu paid homage according to Han and Confucian etiquette, and the etiquette was spotless and impeccable, Fa Hai felt particularly comfortable.
Fahai was the son of a humble servant, and he had been bullied and suppressed by Elundai since he was a child.
What is particularly hateful is that after Fahai's biological mother passed away, Elundai did not allow her to be buried in the ancestral grave of the old Tong family.
Good fellow, this is simply a great shame and humiliation for Fahai.
From then on, the brothers became mortal enemies.
Today, the imperial concubine is going home to visit her relatives, and Fa Hai must attend in person. Otherwise, he will be severely impeached by the officials.
These days, let alone the concubine of the imperial concubine, even if it is a dog raised by the old emperor, the courtiers must be respectful.
Otherwise, it would be disrespectful!
"My dear nephew, don't be so polite. Get up quickly."
Yuzhu's extraordinarily sensible attitude brought a long-lost smile to Fahai's face.
Fahai has been holding back a bad breath since he was a child and has never been able to let it out.
With Fahai's background, he could neither rely on his biological father, Tong Guogang, nor his brothers.
Taking the Jinshi exam while studying became his only way out.
Hard work pays off.
Fahai, who studied hard, won the Jinshi award early. After the Shujishi left the hall, he was appointed to serve as the Nan Shufang leader.
However, Fahai has been unlucky recently.
Two years ago, Fa Hai, who was the governor of Guangdong at the time, was careless and handed over the invitation to An Zhe, which seemed to be ill-intentioned and angered the old emperor.
As a result, the furious old emperor personally issued an order for Fahai to serve in the Xining military camp.
Yuzhu knew that Fahai had just returned to Beijing from Xining and had no real work to do, so he had been idle at home.
However, what was unexpected was that Fahai not only did not ask Yuzhu to help intercede with the old emperor, but also kept quoting scriptures to argue with Yuzhu.
Alas, ever since he was selected as the number one scholar, Yuzhu has put his swords and guns in the warehouse, put his horses in Nanshan, and has never touched the scriptures again.
Fa Hai, who had been holding on to the scroll, killed the jade pillar in less than five rounds.
"Oh, you, you, the top scholar, you are so unfamiliar with the meaning of the scriptures, you really need to be beaten!" Fahai told Yuzhu heartbrokenly, "The books of the sages must be read at all times, and they will become newer and newer every day.
Bar?"
Yuzhu disagreed in his heart, but his attitude was unusually upright. He lowered his head solemnly and said: "Thank you uncle for your teachings. My nephew has really slacked off. In the future, he must read more books by sages and avoid going astray."
Don't go sideways, that is to say, try not to steal the official's wife.
After all, Fa Hai was a scholar and liked to talk in roundabout ways. He was lying on the test of knowledge. What he really wanted to say was that Yu Zhu liked to go astray.
"Alas, it's so cold at high places." Fa Hai sighed softly, looked up at the blue sky and white clouds in the sky, and said quietly, "Even if you are desecrating yourself, you still have to be careful. Going too far is not enough."
After Fa Hai said these words, he walked away gracefully.
From beginning to end, Wu Jiang heard every word Fa Hai said clearly.
However, until Fa Hai disappeared, Wu Jiang still didn't understand why this office was here.
But Yuzhu knew very well that Fahai was a typical scholar. He wanted Yuzhu to help him reinstate his job, but he couldn't let go of his elders' pretensions.
Senior intellectuals, the more real power they once held, the more clouded and cloudy their words are, forcing you to figure things out.
According to Fahai's logic, his kind reminder was tantamount to helping Yuzhu in disguise, and Yuzhu should appreciate it.
Yuzhu, who received the favor, shouldn't he repay the kindness of reminding him?
Does Fahai still need to clarify exactly how to do it?
The old emperor also had a bad habit of only saying half of what he said, forcing Yuzhu to rack his brains to guess.
However, after Yuzhu speculated for more than ten years, it is no exaggeration to say that he has almost figured out the old emperor's temperament.
Since Fahai likes to pretend so much, let him continue to pretend.
If you want Yuzhu to use his connections to help Fahai get reinstated, you have to ask why, right?
