Chapter 202: The Yu Family (1st Update)

The double champion Xia Shujie has a famous grass, and the double list of eyes is depressed, and he immediately became the first fragrant bait in the eyes of all nobles.

According to investigation, Yu Zhengran is the descendant of the Yu family, a wealthy businessman in the previous dynasty.

During the war period between the two dynasties, the main branch of the Yu family disappeared. Some people say that the Yu family had already built an island overseas and moved to the island in batches; Others say that they hid in a paradise deep in the mountains, with mountains, rivers and rivers, fields, farms, and workshops......

It wasn't until 17 years ago that the Yu family reappeared in Kacheng in the southwest and opened the Yu family's "Good Taste" restaurant there. Legend has it that in the previous dynasty, the Yu family's fortune industry was "good taste".

For more than ten years, "good taste" has almost spread all over Dazhou, and there are two in the capital.

However, now the master of the Yu family is only Yu Zhengran, a 17-year-old young man, and I heard that Yu Zhengran has six loyal servants around him, led by Yu Da Butler, who is in charge of foreign affairs, and Yu's mother, who takes care of all the affairs in the house.

Because the master of the Yu family is young, the Yu family has no entertainment except for business cooperation, and the outside world does not know much about the current situation of the Yu family, let alone many people who have friendships, and there is only the Ding family in the capital.

The ancestral home of the Ding family is in Kacheng, when the Yu family came to Kacheng, the mansion they bought was exactly on the same street as the Ding family, one street, and the other end of the street. However, there were large mansions on that street, and there were only five families on the whole street.

Once, the carriage and horse of the old lady of the Ding family were startled by firecrackers, and they galloped wildly, but the big housekeeper Yu passed by and subdued the horses to save the old lady Ding. Since then, the two families have begun to communicate with each other, and the Yu family's housekeeper Yu's mother knows the tricks of health preservation and maintenance, and is very popular with the old lady and several ladies of the Ding family.

Yu Zhengran and Ding Meier are also childhood sweethearts. In addition, the two of them are extremely beautiful and Yuxue is cute. The Ding family also likes to let the two of them play together. Both of them are young anyway. There are not as many rules in Kacheng as in the capital.

When Yu Zhengran was eleven or twelve years old, the Yu family suddenly left Kacheng in a hurry and went to Yulin County, leaving only one family to take care of the house, saying that Yu Zhengran's grandfather was sick and missed his grandson, and wanted Yu Zhengran to move in with him.

But over the years, before Mrs. Ding and her family moved to the capital, every New Year's holiday, the descendants of the Yu family would still send gifts to Ding's house. At that time, Mrs. Ding and her entourage entered Beijing, passed through Yulin, and sat in the Yu family's house.

This time, Yu Zhengran went to Beijing to catch the exam, and he also visited Dingfu for the first time.

Once Yu Zhengran's identity was "revealed", a number of official and private media flocked to it, and it was important to know that the status of the Yu family was almost equal to the current Nangong family, the richest man in the Great Zhou. is now, not to mention anything else, only the "good taste" that is all over the Great Zhou and is full of customers is enough to feed a large family with good food and clothing, but the Yu family only has Yu Zhengran as the master.

The real rich man is both civil and military! There are no in-laws to wait for when you enter the door, and no sister-in-law and uncle to worry about...... Except for people like the Ma family who have other plans. Almost everyone who was staring at Xia Shujie before immediately turned their attention to Yu Zhengran.

It's not that the Ma family looks down on Yu Zhengran, but in addition to their "ulterior motives". And Ma Linger's determination to "not marry Xia Shujie", isn't it?

In the Yu family's mansion, Mr. Yu brought the lord's intention to marry, Ma Ling'er of the Ma family, Niu Su'er, the eldest daughter of Niu Chaoyang, the secretary of the military department, or Sima Yan of the Anguo Mansion. Sima Yan was ranked last because she was younger (12 years old).

Yu Zhengran was not very happy: "I'm only seventeen years old, don't worry?" The agile figure of the little fairy appeared in front of his eyes, but unfortunately, he was too young, only ten years old, and Yu Zhengran was inexplicably depressed.

Mr. Yu smiled: "You are indeed not in a hurry, but those noble ladies and their families are in a hurry." Young master, these three people in the main list are all beauties, and their reputations are also very good, so they will not insult the young master. Besides, marriage is mainly for help, and whether you like it or not is secondary. After the matter is completed, what kind of woman does the young master want? ”

This is the reason, but I still feel uncomfortable. Of course, you can only feel uncomfortable in your heart and can't say it.

Mr. Yu knew that Yu Zheng was a rational and patient master, and such a thing was not a problem at all, and he did not get entangled, so he changed the topic: "Young master, the friendship of the same department has always been valued, you have to make good use of it." Your main goals at present are twofold, one is to gain the trust of the emperor and key ministers as soon as possible, and the other is to make friends with as many outstanding new science and technology scholars as possible, especially Xia Shujie. However, the young master remembers a sentence, if you want to hurry, you can't reach it, and at this stage, you just need to make friends with them. Pay attention to their preferences, personalities, strengths and weaknesses, and do not rush to generalize, so as not to arouse suspicion, the one who has always been suspicious. ”

"Yes, I'll be careful." Yu Zhengran nodded, and he was happy to befriend Xia Shujie, "I thought I would enter the Hanlin Academy with him, but who knew that he was lucky, and he went directly to that person on an errand." ”

Mr. Yu smiled comfortingly: "He is the righteous son of Jin Xida, and he has advantages that others don't have, even without him, that person can't easily let another person get such a close errand to him, there is nothing to envy." It would be a good thing if we could get him. ”

The two were talking warmly, Yu's mother came in, holding two posts in her hand, one was a document in the palace, and the queen mother summoned the three and four people of the new department, and the time was tomorrow morning. The other is a post sent by the summer house, according to the custom, the champion will generally hold a friendship banquet after the errand is settled, or the new house is completed (the champion who is admitted to Beijing from other places must buy a house in the capital, or arranged by the imperial court), and invite the teacher (this examiner) and some fellow scholars to participate.

Most of the new champions who originally lived in the capital will hold a celebration banquet and a friendship banquet together, so as to facilitate the family and the noble wife of the official family.

Yao Xuelan has long been requested by many ladies, so Shujie's friendship banquet is also a celebration banquet for the summer house.

Yao Xuelan informed Nangong Mansion early.

Xia Zhai is not in charge of the housewife now, although Yao Xuelan is in charge, and Nangong Miao, as Shujie's fiancΓ©e, it is best to help entertain female guests that day. Nangong Miao and Mrs. Nangong both knew that Yao Xuelan was going to inspect Nangong Miao, so she naturally prepared with her heart.

Shujie, Zhengran and other four new top three are entering the palace together for the third time. The first time was to participate in the palace examination, the second time was to thank the Xihe Palace, and the third time was to meet the Queen Mother.

When the four of them knelt down and saluted together, the Queen Mother raised her hand happily: "Flatten, they are all young talents, I hope you can all become the pillars of the Great Zhou." ”

The queen mother's face is full of appreciation, no wonder people with school-age daughters in the capital have been enthusiastic and ready to move recently, needless to say, if she has a princess of the right age, she will definitely not let go. The other two Tanhua are also dignified men with bright and upright facial features.

The Queen Mother first congratulated Shujie, who not only won the civil and military champions, but also got a happy family affair. The Empress Dowager Nangong Miao has also seen it, she is extraordinary, generous, and likable. If it weren't for the consistent taboo avoidance of the Nangong family, as well as the long-term tacit understanding between the royal family and the Nangong family of "not intermarrying", the queen mother would have set it for her grandson or nephew.

The queen mother knows in her heart that the emperor is now becoming more and more taboo about the expansion of his relatives. The Queen Mother also knew that the emperor had rejected Concubine Ma before. She is the emperor's mother-in-law, so she naturally supports her son and sets an example for the concubines in the harem.

Therefore, not to mention the relatives of her nephews, she can't Zhang Luo a strong family like the Nangong family, that is, the nieces and granddaughters, the nephews of the mother's family begged her to marry Xia Shujie and Yu Zhengran, but she didn't agree, these two are talents that the emperor is optimistic about and is ready to focus on.

Looking at the extravagant and heroic Yu Zhengran, the Queen Mother thought of Sima Yan, well, the difference of five years is not too much, the more the Queen Mother thinks about it, the more she feels that it is a good fate, and she plans to summon the Duchess of Anguo tomorrow to discuss, I don't know if the Duke of Anguo has taken a fancy to other candidates.

The Queen Mother talked with the four of them for a while, expressing her concern for their families and her expectations for them, and the last one rewarded a famous inkstone.

After the four of them retreated, the Queen Mother smiled at Mama Liu and said, "How do you say that Yu Zhengran is worthy of Yan'er?" Both are excellent. ”

Mama Liu hesitated for a moment, but still replied: "Lord Yan seems to be very special to Prince Yong. "What can be hidden from the Queen Mother?

The Queen Mother really smiled: "But Jun Ao (Qi Haoning's character) doesn't like her, this child, I don't know what to do, at a young age, she always has a black face for Yan'er, where is she as happy as she is for Yue'er and the four girls." "The Queen Mother really loves Sima Yan, but she will not force Qi Haoning for Sima Yan, that is her grandson.

Although Prince Yong was not born to the Queen Mother, she was raised by her side since she was a child. Without Prince Yong, the emperor would not have been able to defeat the Empress Dowager so smoothly and succeed to the throne smoothly. Until now, Prince Yong is still holding the territory for the emperor in the southwest frontier and rectifying the turmoil.

Therefore, not only the emperor, but also the queen mother, also trusts and is very close to Prince Yong. When the emperor ascended the throne, he proclaimed King Yong as the hereditary Prince Yong, which was more glorious than the younger brother Prince Qi born to a mother, and the Queen Mother did not object. The Queen Mother's love for Qi Haoning and Qi Yueling is no less than that of her grandchildren, especially Qi Yueling, who was raised in Cining Palace when she was more than two years old. Who in the palace doesn't know that the county lord of Lu Daoyue is the treasure of the queen mother?

Hearing the Queen Mother's words, Mama Liu hurriedly echoed: "Isn't it? Ning Shizi loved Lord Yue and the fourth princess since he was a child, and he looked like a good brother, which was the same as Xia Zhuangyuan. ”

The four of Shujie went out of Cining Palace, and they didn't go far, and Dafuzi's father-in-law came to look for Shujie in person: "Xia Zhuangyuan, the emperor and Ma Guifei want to see you, waiting in Yihe Palace." "Ma Guifei actually has a title, called Yi Guifei, but except for formal occasions such as canonization ceremonies and sacrifices, everyone is used to calling her Ma Guifei. (To be continued......)
