My father-in-law is Kangxi

When Brother Jiu came back, he found Shu Shu lying on the kang, not energetic.

Brother Jiu didn't know that Fengsheng and Akdan had come back, he only thought that she was thinking about the child, and said: "If you think about it, you can bring it back in a while, it's okay if you don't know each other, just be with me more."

A child has a bad memory, and it's okay to cry and lie, but it's not good if it affects Fujin's mood.

Not in front of me right now, brother Jiu is the tiger dad.

Shu Shu pointed to the backyard and said, "I've already picked it up. I'll go see it in the morning. Akdan is crying, and it's my fault."

Brother Nine heard this, and said: "What's so strange about this? No one can stay with each other all the time. You have to enlighten them early, so as not to be clingy and soft-tempered."

He thought of Yue Xing'a, a young man in his teens, who was still haggling, and couldn't speak well.

His son can't do that, he has to stand up early.

Shu Shudao: "Ask fourth master about Gao Bin's errand? Has fourth master made any arrangements?"

Brother Nine said: "I don't worry about it for nothing. In order to promote corn and potatoes in Gyeonggi next year, Brother Gao has already arranged for Gao Bin..."

Shu Shu sat up and said, "Is he the prime minister of Bapin County?"

This is in line with Gao Yanzhong's thoughts, but it is really too low.

You must know that directly filling the third-class guards of the Prince's Mansion is from the fifth rank, and the starting point is very different.

Brother Jiu gloated and said, "No, it's just to make up for the supervising students, and I will take the examination of the Ministry of Education in February next year."

This is the shortcoming of not going to the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

This is also true, if the vacancies in the Ministry of Internal Affairs want to be transferred to the Outer Dynasty, it is from Yuanwailang of the fifth rank and above.

In history, Governor Gao Bingao was a foreign official transferred from the Ministry of Internal Affairs to the Yongzheng Dynasty with the rank of Yuanwailang, and finally became one of the important ministers of the Yongzheng Dynasty.

"Are you going for the eight-pin pen post style? Are you going to release it to the magistrate?"

The two twin brothers of Shu Shu's family were originally prepared in the style of writing in the ministry. This is the starting point for most Manchu officials to become officials.

It's just that the pen post style is not a fixed flag vacancy, it is a public vacancy, and there is an exam.

Among them, civil and military translators take the exam, and those who win the exam are of the seventh-rank pen post style; supervisors take the exam for the eight-rank pen post test, and those who wear armor and idle banners take the test for the ninth-rank pen post style.

The pen post style can only make up for the lack of flags. If you want to transfer, you have to make up for it first.

The seventh-rank pen post style can make up for the sixth-rank principal, and the eighth-rank pen post can supplement the seventh-rank commissioned principal.

With the status of head of the commission, it is enough to be a candidate for the county magistrate.

Brother Nine nodded and said: "Haha, Gao Bin will be beautiful in the next four months, his Ama hired a husband for him, let's study hard!"

Shu Shu nodded and said: "This is very good. When the time comes, I will directly fill in the palm seal officer of Gyeonggi, under my nose, and arrange two experienced aides by my side, and everything will be in order."

Brother Nine snorted softly, "Tell me to watch, it's just a toss."

But Shu Shu thinks it is good to have this exam. This kind of written exam is actually not difficult. It is Manchu to Chinese, Chinese to Manchurian, as long as you have learned both Manchu and Chinese to the middle level.

For officials, this should be a basic requirement, otherwise, if the official documents are fooled by the subordinates, then the official position will not be secure.

For Gao Bin, it was really not easy.

If Gao Bin had a good reading aptitude, he wouldn't have started with haha ​​beads, not clumsy, but mediocre.

Brother Nine said: "Anyway, it's up to Gao Bin himself to decide how to go to work next year. If he's up to the task, he'll go straight down to become the county magistrate; if he's not up to the mark, he'll still be the errand manager next to Fourth Brother..."

He said this, but he couldn't help but feel a little worried, and said: "Gao Bin has set up the ladder, if he fails the exam, not only will he lose face of the fourth brother, but also the face of the master. Tomorrow, I will call Sun Jin Go to the Dutong Mansion and ask Fu Ming to see what books he has read in the past two years, and make a copy of the list."

Fu Ming was Xiao Si, the younger of the twins.

The titles of Dong E's family fell on Xiaoer and Xiaosan, and Xiaosi had nothing. He still followed the previous plan and studied in Qixue. Cheng Ding planned to take the Eight Banners Imperial Examination first, won the Eight Banners Juren, and then took the Ministry Academy's pen and post examination.

Shu Shu nodded and said: "Well, let's ask someone to go, many of the classmates in the fourth grade are rushing to this, and the husband should understand better than us."

Since Gao Bin is mentioned, it cannot be said that Gao Bin and Walnut's marriage is mentioned.

If you are a master and servant, you don't need Brother Nine to support you when you go out to work, so you have to find some extras.

"The Lord directly left a hundred acres of land for their father and son in Xiaotangshan. The father and son separated, each with fifty acres of land, and each with two springs. Even if the location is a little bit out of the way, there is no way to do it. Wait until they get rich in a few years, and build another house by themselves..."

Brother Jiu said.

There are still about [-] mu of land left in Xiaotangshan, but there are not many springs, and the rest can only be used as ordinary forest land.

As for why it is so small, it is still located in a remote place, it is due to the identity of the father and son of the Gao family.

"Before I was promoted to the third rank, I didn't have the confidence to live there. It's fine when I reach the third rank..."

Brother Jiu said, also faintly proud.

Copying the Haidian model has been successful.

Around the Xiaotangshan Palace, according to the distance, there are hot spring courtyards of princes and nobles.

It's exciting to think about the grand event next winter.

Shu Shu is also thinking about her own hot spring courtyard. The hot spring in the main courtyard is divided into two pools, inside and outside. By then, she will really be able to soak in the open-air hot spring in the snow...

Early the next morning, Brother Jiu sent Sun Jin to the Dutong Mansion to copy a list of books and come back.

Shu Shu followed suit and asked someone to copy a copy and keep it in the mansion.

Brother Jiu asked curiously: "Why do you keep this, and no one else wants to take the exam?"

Shu Shu said: "My lord, have you forgotten the coat population under your name? Apart from the adult ones who need to make up for errands, there are also a bunch of small ones. Ask Zuo Ling to take the lead and set up a primary school. Go to study. If you have good qualifications, Also rushing to write and work hard, there are limited vacancies in our mansion, don't delay your future."

There are many elementary schools in Baqi, almost every assistant has it, and the teaching is simple, that is, Manchu, Chinese and riding and archery.

If you want to go deep, you have to go to the first-level exam or ask another teacher.

Brother Nine nodded and said: "Let's keep it, the Lord hopes that they will all be successful. With the top hat, we can pay more filial piety to those who are on holidays."

For the walnuts, I handed over two taels of silver to the dining room today, set up a table of noodles, and entertained a group of little sisters.

Xiaosong, Xiaotang, Peanut, Ginkgo, and Hazel in the mansion, and Xiaochun and Xiaoyu who are out of the mansion.

The eight people sat down, thinking of the days when the two first met, all in a trance.

Walnut sighed: "Time flies so fast, I really remember the first time I went to the second institute."

Xiao Chun said from the side: "Yes, we were from outside at that time, and we were worried about showing cowardice, so we were stern and didn't dare to joke."

Xiao Song glanced at Walnut, then at Peanut, and said, "Haha, at the time when Fujin was selecting people, I knew that Fujin would choose you two, because among those who entered the room, you two were the best looking..."

Because of this, Sister Xiaochun was a little wary of peanuts and walnuts.

But after getting in touch, I knew that both of them were good, so I let it go.

As for the big golden girl who came in with them, she acted awkwardly, her eyes were aiming randomly, and she looked bright. In fact, her facial features were no better than walnuts and peanuts, but her face was powdered, her eyebrows were trimmed, and her head was oiled. .

Walnut shook his head and said, "It's not as good as Sister Xiaochun and Sister Xiaotang, it's just a straight face."

The small election of the Ministry of Internal Affairs is also called the draft of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Why?
That's because, it's true.

Official women like Walnut and the others who signed up for the election, in addition to the House of Internal Affairs, sometimes the grandmas of the palaces also come to see it.

If they look good, they will either enter the Qianqing Palace as a promise, or they will be assigned to the lords of the palace to learn the rules, or they will be given to elder brothers, or they will serve the emperor as a concubine.

Like walnuts and peanuts, those who have worked directly as maids since childhood are just ordinary looks.

But what Xiao Song said is not wrong, when Shu Shu picks people, she is also very tall.

Seeing that Hetao has a good bearing and bright facial features, other people think that she is like this, but Hetao has self-knowledge. This is all experienced by Fujin, and her spirit is different.

When the banquet was over, everyone left makeup gifts, and Walnut also prepared thoughts for a few little sisters, so we left.

Others are fine, each has his own plan, and it's not Walnut's turn to worry about it.

Here at Peanut, Walnut couldn't help but ask, "You're one year older than me, and you'll be twenty in the next year, so you really won't go out?"

Peanut is timid, but now he nodded without hesitation and said, "No."

Those who are willing to send their daughters to Xiaoxuan, there are not many people who really love their daughters.

Like walnuts, there are only a few who have their own ideas to run for election.

What's more, the father doesn't care, the mother doesn't love, and the family can't tolerate it.

Even if he went out, his parents would accept the bride price and sell him again.

Walnut didn't persuade her, and said: "Then do your job well, don't worry about your family, you belong to Fujin, and it's not their turn to make decisions."

On the next day, Walnut served as usual in the morning, and waited until Shu Shu and Brother Jiu had breakfast before kowtowing to the two of them, officially asking for home.

Shu Shu told Bai Guo to come in with a tray.

On it are the silver rewards and makeup that Shu Shu prepared for Walnut, and the 40 taels of silver rewarded by Brother Jiu.

Brother Nine's reward of silver is based on the example of maids leaving the palace.

When the maids in the palace leave the palace, they will be rewarded with 15 taels of silver for those who have served for less than 20 years, and 15 taels for those who have served for more than 30 years.

Brother Ninth is rewarded with double rewards.

He rewarded the silver and went to the House of Internal Affairs.

Shu Shu said to Walnut: "In addition to these, there are eight pieces of material, let's take them home together..."

After hearing this, Walnut hesitated and said, "Fu Jin, this reward is too generous."

When Xiaochun left the mansion, he was rewarded with four horses.

Don't worry about scarcity but inequality. There are still several people around Fujin who haven't left.

She has been in charge for a long time, so she is more thoughtful.

Shu Shu waved his hand and said, "The other four are rewards at the end of the year. I'll take them first. Xiao Chun will ask someone to make up for her later."

Walnut doesn't say anything now...

The yamen of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Brother Jiu came over, and saw a pillar standing at the door.

It was Dong Dianbang who came.

Brother Nine curled his lips, this old guy is quite stable.

"Master Jiu, please be safe..."

Seeing Brother Jiu coming over, Dong Dianbang hurriedly knelt and stepped forward.

Brother Jiu nodded and said, "Come on, is this here for business? The Accounting Department doesn't have any major errands right now?"
