Because Wang Zhongxiao was about to have a new errand, Duolong went to say hello to the foreman of the Qianqing Gate and did not let him go to the door again. Instead, he asked him to rest in the guard stall and think about it. How do you want to sell this Kubu Baitanga quota?
It's one thing to talk about it, but it's another thing to do it. If this deal goes well, not only can a large amount of funds be withdrawn to solve the problem of insufficient official capital, but also a few official helpers can be obtained. In the future, everyone will unite to cheat together, no, to be loyal to the Qing Dynasty together (to the end). If you mess up and give someone else a leg up, you'll be in big trouble.
When he was holding his head with his hands and thinking about how to make this deal, a Baitang'a who was running errands in the guard's stall suddenly opened the door and walked in. He said to Wang Zhongxiao: "Wang Guard, Aunt Zhang who is beside the Queen Mother is here. Outside, they say they have something to ask you, and they look quite angry!"
"Aunt Zhang is looking for me? She's quite angry..." Wang Zhongxiao smiled, "Maybe I offended her brother, Baozi, and I have to go with her to the imperial dining room to apologize to his father, Baozi. Later. When my master comes back, please tell him that I am going to the imperial kitchen."
After Duolong arranged for Wang Zhongxiao to rest in the guard stall, he took a large plate of memorial boxes that he had just received today and went to the internal memorial office. He has not returned yet.
"Okay, go quickly." Nabai Tang'a waved his hand and said, "I will tell the extra guard as soon as he comes back."
"Thank you." Wang Zhongxiao cupped his hands, stood up and walked out of the guard's stall door.
After going out, Wang Zhongxiao looked around and found Zhang Xiaoyu standing angrily in the corner, so he smiled and went up to him and saluted: "Aunt Xiaoyu, are you looking for me?"
Zhang Xiaoyu didn't say much to Wang Zhongxiao, she just said "Follow me" and walked out of Jingyun Gate with light steps.
Wang Zhongxiao also knew that Jingyun Gate was not a place to talk about "selling one's father"... so he followed Zhang Xiaoyu out of Jingyun Gate. Outside Jingyun Gate was an arrow pavilion. After this arrow pavilion, there was A row of courtyards where the imperial dining room is located. Finally, Zhang Xiaoyu led Wang Zhongxiao directly into the small courtyard where the dim sum bureau of the imperial dining room was located.
There was no one in the courtyard, but I saw old Baozi Zhang Zhongqing sitting on a bench in the courtyard, with Zhang Xiaobao standing next to him. Both Lao Bao and Xiao Bao frowned, with tangled expressions on their faces. When they saw Wang Zhongxiao wearing a yellow mantle, Xiao Bao said "yo" and said in surprise: "Da Tou, you really are here, and you have really become a bodyguard!"
Wang Zhongxiao said: "I just became a sixth-grade Lan Ling bodyguard today, and I met the emperor in Yingtai today. The emperor also plans to reward me with a good job."
"What's so bad?" Old Baozi Zhang Zhongqing asked.
"I don't know the specific name of the third-in-command in the Kubu Division of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but I'm sure he didn't run away on errands."
"Kubu?" Zhang Zhongqing was stunned, "Is this in charge of wrestling?"
"That's right, they are performing wrestling for the emperor." Wang Zhongxiao said, "The first leader should be Suo Etu, the second leader should be Guanyin Bao, I am third, and there are ninety Kubu Baitang'a below... ..We will be able to recruit all the people from the Eight Banners and the Internal Affairs Bureau next month when they are called upon."
"Recruiting from the newly selected Baitang'a? Brother Big Tou, do you think I can do it?" Zhang Xiaobao immediately became interested. He is also a very good man in the camp. When he heard that Kubu Baitang'a could see him often Looking at the emperor, he immediately became interested.
"Xiaobao!" Zhang Xiaoyu glared at his brother angrily, "Don't think about wrestling with your small body. You will still work as a servant in the imperial kitchen in the future. You can take over our father's imperial dining room dim sum department in the future. Sir, thank God."
"Yes, yes," Wang Zhongxiao nodded repeatedly, "Your sister is right...you are the only child of Baozi's Zhang family. You can't walk the same path as Kubu, and you can't practice that. . If you go to practice, someone might be killed!"
The Kubu Department was set up to catch Oboi. How could Zhang Xiaobao die on the spot even if he punched him with a fist as big as a sand bowl despite his small physique? And after Zhang Xiaoyu bought Wang Zhongxiao's father Wang Fuchen and became Wang Zhongxiao's stepmother, Zhang Xiaobao was upgraded to Wang Zhongxiao's "step-uncle". He can't trick anyone into tricking his "uncle-in-law" to death!
"By the way, Datou, your aunt said early this morning that you want to sell your father to my sister as her husband. What's going on?"
Zhang Xiaobao knew that he couldn't follow the same path as Kubu, so he thought about his elder sister's lifelong events - in today's Baozi Zhang family, this matter is the most important thing, and it is more important than Zhang Xiaobao himself thinking about Li Chuni.
After all, with Baozi Zhang's worth, there's no way that little Baozi won't be able to find a wife. But Zhang Xiaoyu, who is just twenty-five years old, is already an old girl! If an old girl wants to marry a general soldier, she should still be his wife. This thing... is really difficult!
But don't think that the Empress Dowager's confidant will have nothing to worry about. Aunt Sumala is already in her fifties, isn't she not married yet?
Zhang Xiaoyu didn't want to be the second aunt of Sumala, and she had liked Wang Fuchen since she was a child. Although Wang Fuchen was twenty years older than her, the nickname "Living Lu Bu" was not for nothing.
Lu Bu among men, Red Rabbit among horses!
But no matter how much Zhang Xiaoyu likes Wang Fuchen, he can't spend money to "buy" Wang Fuchen from Wang Zhongxiao, a filial son!
So she looked at Wang Zhongxiao angrily now.
Wang Zhongxiao laughed and said: "Isn't this simple? My father has been widowed for many years, and Aunt Xiaoyu is about to leave the palace again... They are old acquaintances, and they are somewhat interesting to each other. I am my son. , you have to make arrangements for my father and help my father make the decision! Little Baozi, you have to learn from me!"
As he said that, he looked at the old steamed bun Zhang Zhongqing again.
"What do you think I'm doing?" Zhang Zhongqing frowned, "I can't let Little Baozi sell it for three thousand taels... Little Baozi, if you dare to do this, I will beat you to death. !”
"Dad, don't worry!" Zhang Xiaobao said, "How can you compare with 'Living Lu Bu'? You can't sell it at all! Just wait for me, a filial son, to provide for you in your old age."
"You little brat..."
"Okay!" Zhang Xiaoyu shouted, "Why did you two have a quarrel?"
"That's right," Wang Zhongxiao said with a smile, "My alternate stepmother is right, you two should stop arguing."
"Who is your alternate stepmother?" Zhang Xiaoyu glared at Wang Zhongxiao fiercely, and then her voice softened, "Can you be your father's master?"
"No problem!" Wang Zhongxiao patted his chest, "I am now a guard. I can ask the emperor for a favor. I want to ask for a favor for my widower father. Can the emperor approve it? Aunt Xiaoyu, those three thousand The two taels of silver are not money from selling my father. They are the capital that you lent to me, a filial son, to become an official. When I sell ten or eight places in Kubu Baitang'a, I can pay you back. Stepmother, Do you think this is okay?"
"Who is your stepmother?" Zhang Xiaoyu muttered, "If your father is not happy with this matter, can the emperor's family still use force?"
"Why wouldn't my father be happy?" Wang Zhongxiao said plausibly, "He has long been thinking about you, Aunt Xiaoyu. Otherwise, why would they have stayed single for more than ten years without marrying?"
"Is he also called single?" Zhang Zhongqing said angrily, "He has eight concubines! Eight..."
"You all know that they are concubines," Wang Zhongxiao said, "Can concubines and wives be the same? Can I recognize those concubines as mothers? Does the Ministry of Internal Affairs recognize them? Even the children they give birth to If you don't have the title of Baoyi, you are just a commoner.
But your daughter and my stepmother are different. She is the stepmother who was granted a marriage by the Emperor and the Empress Dowager, and whom my father, Ming Media, is marrying! Moreover, my stepmother is the confidant of the Empress Dowager. If my father wants to marry her, then she will be the confidant of the Empress Dowager.
The Empress Dowager’s confidants are also the Emperor’s confidants. Now the Emperor only has a few confidants who are important enough? Mingzhu, Suo'etu, Tong Guogang, Tong Guowei...are there any more? It seems gone?
With this position, the future will be not that of an admiral, but that of a governor! For this future, my father has to treat Aunt Xiaoyu as a fairy, and my brother and I have to honor this stepmother as our own mother!
My step-grandfather, if you think about it carefully, your daughter will have the opportunity to become the governor's wife if she marries my father! Can you have such a future by marrying someone else? Besides, my father is good-looking and in good health, otherwise he wouldn’t be able to cope with the eighth-fang concubine..."
"Uh-huh!" Seeing that Wang Zhongxiao was about to tell a dirty joke, Zhang Xiaoyu hurriedly coughed. Wang Zhongxiao also knew what was going on, so he immediately stopped and looked at his stepmother with a smile.
Zhang Xiaoyu had already shown a smiling face, which was quite cute. She smiled and said to Wang Zhongxiao: "Shikai, you have just entered the officialdom, and you have received help from many noble people. It is indeed time to spend money. And you are from a bachelor's degree." , your father is a commander-in-chief, he didn’t study hard, so he can’t be too stingy. But the way you make money can’t be too ugly... Let’s do this, I’ll give you six thousand taels as official certificate, no need If you return it, you can give me the five quotas of Kubu, the coater, and I will give them to other aunts in the palace without charging them any money, just in exchange for a few favors. I will leave the palace later and think about it again. To maintain the relationship in the palace, you have to rely on these sisters. As for the remaining five, whether to sell or give them away, you have to think carefully. Remember, it’s okay to eat a little bit, but eating them apart is too ugly. "
After listening to Zhang Xiaoyu's words, Wang Zhongxiao suddenly felt the long-lost maternal love!
One shot is six thousand taels! It’s twice as much as Wang Zhongxiao’s asking price!
This stepmother is definitely a stepmother!
