When Brother Ninth came back, he found Shu Shu leaning on the kang, not energetic. Brother Jiu didn't know that Fengsheng and Akdan had come back yet, so he just thought she was missing the child and said, "If you think too hard, I can just bring him back in a while. It's okay if we don't know him well. Just spend more time with him." The child has a bad memory, so it doesn't matter if he cries or cries, but it affects Fujin's mood.
Now that I'm not here, Brother Jiu is the Tiger Dad. Shu Shu pointed to the backyard and said, "I've brought it back. I'm going to see it in the morning. Akdan is crying. It's my fault." After hearing this, Brother Jiu said, "What's so strange about this? No one can grow old." Whoever is accompanying him must be enlightened as early as possible, so as not to be clingy and soften his temper." He thought of Yue Xing'a, a young man in his teens, who was still chattering, and even his words were unreasonable.
His son couldn't do that and had to stand up early. Shu Shu said: "I asked the Fourth Master about Gao Bin's errands? Has the Fourth Master made any arrangements?" Brother Jiu said: "I worry about it for nothing. In order to promote corn and potatoes in Gyeonggi Province next year, the Fourth Brother has already given Gao Bin The arrangements have been made..." Shu Shu sat up and said, "Eight-level county magistrate?" This seemed to suit Gao Yanzhong's wishes, but it was really too low.
You must know that the third-class guards of the Prince's Palace are directly recruited from the fifth rank, and their starting points are very different. Brother Ninth took schadenfreude and said, "No, I'm just filling in for supervisory students. I'll take the written examination of the Ministry of Education in February next year." This is the shortcoming of not joining the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
This is correct. If the vacancies in the Ministry of Internal Affairs want to be transferred to the outer court, they must be from the fifth rank of Yuanwailang or above.
Governor Gao Bingao in history was a foreign official who stayed in the Ministry of Internal Affairs until the Yongzheng Dynasty, transferred to the rank of Yuanwailang, and finally became one of the important ministers of the Yongzheng Dynasty.
"Are you going for the eighth grade post examination? Are you going to be sent to the county magistrate?" The two twin brothers of Shu Shu's family were originally preparing for the ministry's post examination, which was the starting point for most Manchu civil servants to enter officialdom.
It's just that the pen post type is not a fixed flag vacancy, it is a public vacancy and requires examination. Among them, civil and military translators took the exam, and those who won the exam were in the seventh-grade pen-tie style; those who were supervisors took the exam in the eighth-grade pen-tie style, and those who wore armor and idle banners took the exam in the ninth-grade pen tie style.
The pen post style can only make up for the vacancy of the flag. If you want to transfer it, you must first upgrade it to make up for it. The seventh-grade pen-post style can supplement the sixth-grade principal, and the eighth-grade pen-post style can supplement the seventh-grade commissioned chief.
Once you reach the position of head of the commission, you are qualified as a candidate for being sent to the county magistrate. Brother Jiu nodded and said: "Haha, Gao Bin will be very beautiful in the next four months. His Ama hired a husband for him. Let's learn from him desperately!" Shu Shu nodded and said: "This is good. I will make up for it directly in Gyeonggi Province when the time comes. The palm seal officer, with two experienced staff under his nose, everything will be fine." Brother Jiu hummed, "It's just a hassle to ask me to watch." Shu Shu felt that it was good to have this exam, this kind of The paper-based exam is actually not difficult. It means translating Manchu into Chinese and Chinese into Manchu. All you need to do is master both Manchu and Chinese to an intermediate level.
For officials, this should be a basic requirement. Otherwise, if official documents are manipulated by subordinates, the official position will not be secure.
For Gao Bin, this is indeed not easy. If Gao Bin had good academic qualifications, he wouldn't have started from Haha Pearl. He would be either clumsy or mediocre.
Brother Ninth Brother said: "Anyway, it's up to Gao Bin how he will be an errand next year. If he lives up to expectations, he can go directly to be the county magistrate; if he doesn't live up to expectations, he can still work as an errand boy beside Brother Four..." He said Saying this, he couldn't help but feel a little worried, saying: "The ladder has been set up for Gao Bin. If he fails the exam, it will not only lose the face of the fourth brother, but also the face of the father. I will ask Sun Jin to go to the capital tomorrow." The government asked Fu Ming to see what books he has been reading in the past two years and make a list of them." Fu Ming is Xiao Si, the younger of the twins.
The title of Dong E's family fell on Xiao Er and Xiao San. Xiao Si had nothing. He still studied at Banner School according to his previous plan. He planned to take the Eight Banners Imperial Examination first, win the Eight Banners Examination, and then take the imperial examination.
Shu Shu nodded and said: "Well, let's ask someone to go. Many of the classmates in the fourth grade are here for this. The husband should know better than us." Since Gao Bin is mentioned, it is impossible to mention Gao Bin and Walnut's marriage.
In the relationship between master and servant, there is no need for the ninth elder brother to support him in his official career, so he will have to find someone to make up for it.
"My father directly left a hundred acres of land for the father and son in Xiaotangshan. The father and the son were separated, each with fifty acres of land, each with two springs. Even if the location is remote and the corners are out of the way, there is nothing we can do about it. When they get rich in a few years, they can build their own villa..." Brother Jiu said.
There are still about 100,000 acres of land left in Xiaotangshan, but not many have springs, and the rest can only be used as ordinary forest land.
As for why it is so small and in a remote location, that is due to the status of the Gao family as father and son.
"Before I was promoted to the third level, I didn't have the confidence to live there. Once I got to the third level, it would be fine..." Brother Jiu said with a hint of pride.
Copying the Haidian model has been successful. Around Xiaotangshan Palace, there are hot spring courtyards for princes and nobles according to their distance.
It’s exciting to think about what will happen next winter. Shu Shu also thought about her own hot spring courtyard. The hot spring in the main courtyard was divided into two pools, inside and outside. Then she could really soak in the open-air hot spring in the snow... * Early the next morning, Brother Jiu sent Sun Jin to Dutong The government copied a list of books and came back.
Shu Shu read it and asked someone to make a copy and keep it in the house. Brother Jiu asked curiously: "What are you doing with this? There is no one else to take the exam?" Shu Shu said: "Have you forgotten the number of people in your name? In addition to the adults who have to make up for their errands, there are also a bunch of small ones. , ask Zuo Ling to take the lead and set up a primary school. Let everyone go to school. Those with good qualifications should also work hard in writing. Our government has limited shortcomings, so don’t delay your future." There are many primary schools in Eight Banners, almost every Zuo Ling has one. , the teaching is also simple, that is, Manchu, Chinese and riding and archery.
If you want to get more advanced, you have to go to a higher level school or hire another teacher. Brother Jiu nodded and said: "Then keep it, I hope that they will all be successful. With the support, we can also pay more tribute during the holidays." Here at Walnut, today I will hand over two taels of silver to the kitchen. , set up a table and entertained a group of little sisters.
Xiaosong, Xiaotang, peanuts, ginkgo, and hazelnuts are in the house, and Xiaochun and Xiaoyu are in the house. The eight of them sat down, recalling the day when the two met for the first time, and they all felt confused.
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, a few of us were from outside at that time, and we were worried about being exposed. Keep a straight face, don't dare to joke." Xiaosong glanced at Walnuts, then at Peanuts and said: "Haha, when Fujin was choosing people, I knew that Fujin would choose you two, because those people who entered the room, you two The best..." Because of this, Sister Xiaochun was a little wary of peanuts and walnuts before.
But after getting in touch with each other, I realized that both of them were good people, so I let go. As for the big golden girl who came in with them, she acted coyly, glanced around, and looked bright. In fact, her facial features were no better than those of walnuts and peanuts. She just had powder on her face, trimmed her eyebrows, and applied pomade on her head. .
Walnut shook his head and said, "It's not as good as Sister Xiaochun and Sister Xiaotang. I just have a straight head and a straight face." The Ministry of Internal Affairs selection is also called the Ministry of Internal Affairs selection. Why?
That's because it's true. For women officials like Walnut and others who signed up to run for office, in addition to having a look at it here at the Ministry of Internal Affairs, sometimes the aunts from each palace would also come over to take a look at it.
Those who are good-looking will either be admitted to the Qianqing Palace as a sign of acceptance, or they will be assigned to the masters of various palaces to learn the rules under the name of the empress, or they will be pointed out to their brothers, or they will serve the emperor as a concubine.
People like Walnut and Peanut, who have been serving as maids since childhood, have just ordinary looks. But what Xiaosong said is not wrong. When Shu Shu picked someone, he also chose the bigger one.
When others see that Walnut has a good demeanor and bright facial features, they treat her as she is, but Walnut has self-awareness. This is all gained from being around Fujin, and her spirit is different.
When the banquet was over, everyone left some gifts, and Walnut also prepared some thoughts for a few little sisters, and then they parted.
Others have their own plans, and it's not Walnut's turn to worry about it. Here, Peanut, Young Walnut had to ask, "You are one year older than me, and you are already 20 years old. You really don't want to go out?" Peanut has a timid temperament, but now he nodded without hesitation and said, "I won't go out." ." There are not many people who are willing to send their daughters to the primary school. They really love their daughters.
There are only a few people like Walnut who have their own ideas to stand for election. More often than not, there are those whose father does not love them, whose mothers do not love them, and who cannot be tolerated by their families.
Even if you go out, your parents will just accept the betrothal gift and sell it again. Walnut did not dissuade him and just said: "Then just work hard and don't worry about your family. You are under the name of Fujin and it is not their turn to make the decision." The next day, Walnut served as usual in the morning, and waited until Shu Shu and Brother Jiu had breakfast before he kowtowed to the two of them and officially left home.
Shu Shu asked Ging Guo to come in with a tray. On top are the silver rewards and makeup that Shu Shu prepared for Walnut, as well as the forty taels of silver rewarded by Brother Jiu.
Brother Jiu's silver reward is based on the rules of palace ladies leaving the palace. The maids in the palace will be rewarded twenty taels of silver when they leave the palace for less than fifteen years, and thirty taels for those who have served for more than fifteen years.
Brother Ninth got a double reward. He rewarded the money and went to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Shu Shu said to Walnut: "In addition to these, there are eight pieces of materials, let's take them home together..." Walnut listened and said hesitantly: "Fu Jin, this reward is too generous." When Xiaochun left the house, he was rewarded The material is four pieces.
He was not worried about the shortage but the inequality. There were still several people around Fujin who had not gone out. She has been in charge of things for a long time and thinks more carefully.
Shu Shu waved her hands and said: "The other four horses are the rewards at the end of the year. Take them first. Xiaochun will ask someone to make up for her three horses later." Walnut didn't say anything at this time...* Internal Affairs Office, Jiu'a When I came over, I saw a pillar of people standing at the door.
It's Dong Dianbang here. Brother Jiu curled his lips, this old guy was quite stable.
"Slave, please greet Master Jiu..." Seeing Brother Jiu coming over, Dong Dianbang hurriedly bowed his knees and stepped forward. Brother Jiu nodded and said: "Get up, are you here to run an errand? The Accounting Department doesn't have any big errands at the moment, right?"
