lied to Kangxi

Chapter 128 Wicker Edge

Before passing on the Lulu in the Golden Palace, the Xinke Scholars had to go to the Honglu Temple to learn various etiquettes for meeting the emperor for a period of three days.

In the morning, after Yuzhu arrived at Honglu Temple, Selen'e and Acton had already arrived, and they were chatting together.

After Yuzhu arrived, he naturally joined them, and immediately became a trio of Manchurian Jinshi.

In this palace examination, both Selen'e and Acton performed to their due level, and the results were gratifying.

Among them, Selen'e was born as a 38th Jinshi in the second class, and Akdon was born as a [-]th Jinshi in the second class, and they all did well in the exam.

In this way, the combination of the three Manchurian scholars headed by Yuzhu has become a grand scene since the opening of the imperial court.

Wu Fan and Li Guangdi are both the best of the best. They deliberately took the combination of the three Manchurian Jinshi. Isn't it another kind of auspiciousness of prosperity?

Hey, this flattery is invisible, but it is extremely admirable!

The officials of Honglu Temple taught Xinke Jinshi in groups the etiquette of meeting with them.

Among them, in order to reflect the meaning of attaching importance to the three tripods, the number one scholar Yuzhu, the second place Xie Sheng and Tanhua Qian Mingding were all taught by Shaoqing of Honglu Temple.

Shaoqing, a member of the Han Dynasty at Honglu Temple, was named Liu Changyun. He was very talkative and had an unusually gentle temper. He got along very well with Yuzhu and the others.

The rules must be taught and learned well.However, Liu Changyun didn't put on airs during the study breaks, and soon got along with everyone.

After all, after a few days of the Golden Palace Chuanlu, Xinke Sandingjia will be awarded an official soon, which means he will be an official in the same dynasty.

Even a fool would know that this dynasty especially values ​​the Three Tripod Armor.Sanding Jia's promotion speed can be described as astonishingly fast, and he is a veritable rocket official.

Maybe within a few years, Yuzhu and his three tripods will surpass Liu Changyun in official positions.

After the first day of etiquette training was over, it was almost dinner time, and Liu Changyun had already called everyone brothers and sisters.

"Everyone, how many drinks should we have together?" Liu Changyun extended the invitation with a smile.

In any case, Liu Changyun is everyone's superior at present, since he took the initiative to speak, it is impossible for everyone to be so stupid as to refute his face.

Offending people for no reason is completely unnecessary.Isn't it just a drink together, what's the big deal?
So, the four of them made an appointment to go to Yuexiangyuan to drink together.

Yuexiang Courtyard, as you can tell from the name, belongs to that kind of romantic occasion.

Yuzhu's heart is not willing to go to this kind of place.Given his family background, what kind of beauty is he looking for?

It's just that what this person needs most is to fit in with the group, not to be unique and unique.

Being independent means that you will inevitably be secretly excluded by your colleagues, which is something a wise man would not do!
The imperial court has repeatedly decreed that officials are prohibited from going to romantic places to have fun.

However, due to today's extraordinarily benevolent, Wen Tian martial arts has become popular, and the momentum is unstoppable, and the ban has completely become a dead letter.

In today's officialdom, if you don't invite Ji to accompany the drinks at everyone's gatherings, it will be a very embarrassing behavior.

Yuzhu was changing into big clothes in the carriage, when Liu Wu, the second steward of the family, unexpectedly brought the twelfth elder brother Yinxuan here.

The old twelve didn't take the etiquette rules seriously at all, and climbed directly into Yuzhu's carriage.

Fortunately, Yu Zhu had already changed his clothes, if it was halfway through, it would be too embarrassing.

"Tomorrow I'll go to the study for a holiday, and today we'll play with it all night." The old twelve leaned in the carriage without a shape, leaning on the jade pillar as soon as he opened his mouth.

With the experience of interacting with Old Twelve twice, Yuzhu understands better than anyone else that Old Twelve is just a bastard.

Well, all night is all night.

Apparently, the poor boy, Twelve, was determined to eat Yuzhu, a big family.

Yu Zhu smacked his lips at Wu Jiang, and Wu Jiang immediately rode his horse quietly to find Sun Chengyun.

When the old twelfth was acting rascally, with Sun Chengyun present to help, Yu Zhu would not say anything that offended anyone.

However, Old Twelve is also a very shrewd guy, he said with a smile on purpose: "Call Sun Chengyun, too, after drinking and eating, it's just a matter of time to join the table."

Hearing what Old Twelve said, Yuzhu knew that Wu Jiang had seen through Xingzang about Wu Jiang leaving on horseback.

Originally, it was only Liu Changyun who invited Sandingjia to have flower wine together.As a result, Yuzhu led the old twelve and Sun Chengyun together.

Yuzhu originally thought that Liu Changyun, the young minister of Honglu Temple who had a lot of friends, should know the old twelve.

Who would have thought that Liu Changyun, a member of the Han Dynasty, who only came into contact with Hanchens on weekdays due to different division of labor, did not recognize the old twelve and Sun Chengyun.

The second place in the list, Xie Sheng, is not only a greasy uncle in his 40s, but also an authentic Jiangnan native.He came to the capital just to catch up with the exam, so it is naturally impossible for him to know the old twelve.

Tanhua Qian Mingding is from Jiangxia, Huguang, and not a native of the capital, how could he have a chance to know the old twelve?

Seeing that everyone didn't recognize him, Old Twelve happily pretended to be confused, deliberately changed his name to Tao Lin, and joined the fun-seeking team.

Sun Chengyun and Yuzhu cooperated with each other tacitly, so he also pretended to be stupid and simply used his younger brother Sun Chengsi's name.

After everyone entered Yuexiangyuan, Liu Changyun had the highest official position on the surface, so naturally he was going to arrange tonight's show.

Moon Fragrance Courtyard is a relatively high-end place to play but not sell yourself.

The school secretary's mother came in with a smile on her face, and after greeting the smiling faces one by one, she looked at Liu Changyun, squatted down and said with a flattering smile, "Master Liu, is it still the old rules?"

Liu Changyun glanced at Yuzhu, saw Yuzhu was whispering to the old twelve, and said with a smile: "Let's arrange for the new school books for playing and singing."

As soon as Liu Changyun opened his mouth, he was talking in the jargon.

The new school book that plays, plays and sings, that is, the school book that has never accompanied Liu Changyun before.

In a place like Yuexiangyuan, in order to continue to attract business, the school book mother will inevitably change a round of school school girls from time to time.

After all, every time the guests come, they always face the same old faces, so why not get bored?
School book mother, this is an elegant name.

Outside the Forty-Nine City, the title of school book mother can be described as various.

In Hangzhou, they are known as mothers who eat their legs.When they arrived in Suzhou, they became the mothers of Qingyin Xiaoban again.

As for the low-end places of this kind, there are more tricks to call it.For example, kiln sister's mother, private nest mother, the number is too numerous to count.

Soon, more than a dozen beautiful girls came, holding qin, flute or flute in their arms.

Naturally, a beautiful girl holding a kite is also indispensable.

The school secretary's mother stood at the front of the girls, bowed her waist, and said with a smile: "To be honest with Mr. Liu and everyone, these dozen or so girls are good at performing together, why don't we ask them to play together?"

Yuzhu couldn't help smiling slightly, "With competition, there must be improvement. Isn't this the embryonic form of a dozen bands?
In fact, in the Jiaofang Sili of the Tang Dynasty, the Song Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty, similar combination performances abound.

However, after the Qing Dynasty, in addition to court performances, most of the private entertainment of the rich and powerful was mainly solo, not ensemble.

Seeing Liu Changyun nodded, the school secretary's mother simply told the girls to be obedient, and she exited the private room knowingly.

After the ensemble started, even Yuzhu, a guy with no artistic talent, thought he played very well.

Needless to say, as long as you are willing to spend money, the service here is in place.

At the same time as more than a dozen schoolgirls played together, the delicacies that had been ordered in advance were served by Liu Shuijie.

Why hasn't the old twelve eaten?However, looking at the big bowl of bear's paw in front of him, he was still amazed.

"I said that Master Yu even has bear's paws. It can be seen that money can make ghosts grind, and this statement is true." The old twelve deliberately teased Yuzhu.

Yuzhu smiled slightly, even though the old twelve is the prince's elder brother, the chances of being able to eat the bear's paw in the palace are limited.

To put it bluntly, although the royal banquet in the palace must be served with bear's paws, but what's the point of cold bear's paws?I can't even bite, I can only watch.

As long as bear's paws are on the banquet of the upper class in Manchuria, it is a top-notch luxury feast.

However, even for a top family like the Old Tong family, it is difficult to have a few bear paw banquets a year.

The reason is actually very simple.Although the royal family did not explicitly prohibit the eating of bear paws by the people, it monopolized the way for bear paws to exit customs.

To put it bluntly, when the bear's paws were transported out of the wicker side gate, they were intercepted and confiscated by the Eight Banners soldiers.

There is no reason to talk about it, even if it is confiscated directly, people will be arrested, beaten, or even beheaded.

Bear's paws actually appeared here, it can be seen that they must be private goods transported from outside the customs.

Today's Guanwai is not the three eastern provinces when Marshal Zhang was in power.

Emperor Taizong of the Qing Dynasty, Huang Taiji, in order to protect the land of Longxing outside the customs and prevent the Han people from stealing treasures and ginseng, specially ordered to repair the old wicker border.

Along the old wicker, it reaches the mouth of the Yalu River in the east and Shanhaiguan in the west.

Along the line, a three-foot-wide and three-foot-high earth embankment was erected.On the earth embankment, a willow tree is planted every three feet in the shape of a dog's bite. The willow trees are connected with a rope, which is called willow knotting.

On the outside of the embankment, along the side of the wicker, a moat was dug with an upper width of eight feet, a lower width of five feet, and a depth of nine feet. Water was released into the moat where there was a water source.

After the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, in order to declare the imperial power and majesty to the world, the wicker border was extended to the north by more than 600 li. This newly added wicker border of more than 600 li is called the new border.

Due to the barriers of wicker walls, horses, horses and pedestrians, no matter how far they detoured, had to enter and exit through the side gates, and were subject to strict interrogation by the Eight Banners guards.

Shovels, picks, saws, arrows, knives, guns and other utensils are not allowed to be brought into the border, and wood, alluvial gold, herbs, bear paws and ginseng are also not allowed to be brought out of the border.

The entire wicker side, the most important side door, is called the British door.

Ying'e Valley is the only passage from Shengjing to Changbai Mountain along the Hun River, and it is also the ancient road from Chaihe Valley and Qinghe Valley to Longxing Land. Ying'e Gate was specially set up here.

The old twelve leaned close to Yuzhu's ear and whispered, "Because of your glory, I actually got a steaming bear's paw."

"The three of us paid for the guests together, shouldn't we choose the expensive one?" Yuzhu smiled slightly, and whispered something to the old twelve.

The old twelve said with a smile: "Your kid has a lot of money to spend. Khan Ama once said that you Ama made a lot of money."

Yuzhu smiled shallowly, in the Kangxi Dynasty, when Long Kedo stopped being greedy, the nine admirals would not be able to do it anymore.

One emperor, one courtier, one monarch, one move.

In the Yongzheng Dynasty, who dares to reach out for black money, just wait for the house to be copied and sell their wives and daughters!
