After accompanying Fuquan, Li Sixing, and Guanyin on Yingtai Island to ensure that they had a good meal, Wang Zhongxiao asked Yu Wang Fuquan, the minister of management of the sticking pole, on the pretext of going home to "read letters behind closed doors." I took a few days off.
In the afternoon of the same day, Wang Zhongxiao went to Prince Yu's Mansion and picked up a large package of letters copied from Ao Bai's Mansion, and returned to his new home in Dafu Lane. As soon as he entered the door, he heard Master Yu and Li Fuhan talking and laughing loudly, so he grabbed Wang Quan, who was helping him hold the horse, and asked, "Is there a guest at home? Who is here?"
"Reporting to the Second Young Master, it's Guo, the pharmacist from the Internal Gunpowder Department, who came with his son Jinbao to propose marriage to Chuni."
"Really?" Wang Zhongxiao smiled, "Did my father agree?"
Of course he himself was quite in favor of this marriage, even though Guo Jinbao was not very good-looking, and his family did not have a lot of money for buns or weaving. But the craftsmanship passed down from our ancestors is so good! Several generations of people in the family have been making gunpowder and firearms, which will be used by the Qing Dynasty in the future!
In addition, Baozi's daughter is going to be Wang Zhongxiao's stepmother. This little Bao will be a generation older, and Li Chuni will be a younger generation. How can she get married if there is a generation difference?
As for Cao Yin... he is the little emperor's baby brother. He didn't have any errands to do at first, but now he has become a bodyguard, and he is also an imperial bodyguard! Chuni seems a bit out of reach.
Moreover, Wang Zhongxiao also knew that Kangxi's trust in Cao Yin was obviously higher than his trust in his own father and son. If Cao Yin married Chunni, Kangxi's trust in him might decline, and then there would be one less channel to find out about Kangxi's movements. .
Therefore, after weighing the balance, Guo Jinbao is indeed the most suitable candidate.
As for Chuni, that girl seems to be a little unclear about Jin Bao, Xiao Bao and Cao Yin, and she seems to be a bit picky. This is not good, so she'd better make an idea early.
However, it was not easy for Wang Zhongxiao to make the decision. After all, Wang Fuchen was the head of the family, and it was impossible for him to let Kangxi grant marriage to Guo Jinbao and Li Chuni, so he asked Wang Quandao: "Is my father back?"
"No," Wang Quan replied, "The master just sent someone to say that he has something to do at the Yamen today and may not come back."
"Is something wrong? Aren't you coming back?" Wang Zhong said filially: Does this include night shift? Does this old man know how to work hard now? Since he won't come back, can I make the decision on Jinbao and Chunni's marriage? Ignore him, agree first and then talk!
Thinking of this, Wang Zhongxiao stepped into the hanging flower door, then smiled and said to a man in his forties, short stature, and dark skin who was chatting with Yu Deshui in the hall: "Uncle Pharmacist, what gust of wind blew you away?" Are you here? By the way, has Jin Bao’s reward been received?”
Gunpowder was named Guo Dequan, but because he was worthy of good gunpowder, he was respected as "Medicine Master"... Guo Medicine Master! This name sounds amazing!
Guo Dequan replied with a smile: "Thanks to you, I just went to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to go through the formalities yesterday and was promoted to the sixth rank of pen clerk! This official is older than me, so he is considered promising! So today I will take Let him come and propose marriage to Chuni!"
Guo Jinbao, who was standing next to Guo Dequan, had a smug look on his face, and his honest black face was about to burst into laughter. He smiled and said to Li Fuhan: "Uncle Li, I am already at the sixth level...and there are... Brother Big Tou and King Yu will promote me, and I will definitely be a high official in the future. If I marry Chun Ni, Chun Ni will definitely not suffer hardships. When the time comes, Chun Ni and I will honor you two together."
"That's right, that's right! Jinbao will definitely be a high-ranking official in the future! I believe in him...he has this ability!" Wang Zhongxiao quickly helped his brother to speak, "Uncle Li, this is really a rare good relationship. ah!"
"Yes, yes..." Li Fuhan said yes repeatedly. He was not sure whether Wang Zhongxiao's words meant Wang Fuchen. If so, Chunni would have to marry a dark and fat man. "What do you think of the house?"
Li Fuhan couldn't make up his mind, so he had to ask his wife.
Mrs. Li Zhang looked at Guo Jinbao...not like a mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law, and the more she looked at him, the more she liked him.
Wang Zhongxiao also noticed it, so he pulled Li Fuhan and Li Zhang outside the hall and whispered: "Uncle, aunt, I know Jinbao is not good-looking, and his father who prepares gunpowder cannot compare with Baozi Zhang and Zhang. Zhizao Cao. But you have to believe in my father's and my vision. Jinbao's future will definitely surpass that of Xiao Baozi and Xiao Yinzi. Because this world is about to be in chaos but not in chaos yet again!
Now Aobai is on the run, King Pingxi is busy sharpening his sword, and the third prince Zhu from all over the country is emerging one after another. In the middle of the court... the master of the country is suspicious! Think about it, if chaos breaks out in the future, which one has a better future is playing with gunpowder, or does making buns and weaving have a better future? From now on, Jinbao will follow me and my father, and maybe he can become a prince. Making steamed stuffed buns and weaving cloth are beyond this level! "
Nowadays, the Eight Banners disciples in Beijing have "learned it well", and more and more people are playing with caged birds everywhere. There are really not many people like Guo Jinbao, Zhang Xiaobao, and Cao Yin who are still working hard to make progress. In particular, Guo Jinbao also has an ancestral craftsmanship - gunpowder. Guo's gunpowder is the first in Beijing, otherwise he would not be the "director" of the Gunpowder Department in the Armed Forces Academy!
His family's skill in preparing gunpowder is said to have been learned from the "pharmacist" from Hao'ao who came to Beijing to "pay tribute" during the Chongzhen Dynasty. The gunpowder prepared is in grains, and it burns quickly, fiercely and cleanly, and the smoke is All are white.
This craft is passed down from son to daughter! The whole of Beijing is now meeting Guo Dequan and Guo Jinbao!
If the world is peaceful, this skill of preparing gunpowder will be of little use. But once the war breaks out again, will the Gunpowder Guo family be afraid that they won't be able to get a hereditary title with their unique ability?
"Really?" Li Fuhan looked back at his wife, "In the house, I also think Jinbao is good...Little Baozi is now a generation behind Chunni, and Brother Yin's family is a bit higher. .Chunni’s past was inappropriate!”
"This..." Ms. Li Zhang was already a little shaken, but she was afraid that her daughter would not be happy, so she still hesitated.
Wang Zhongxiao said again: "Uncle, aunt, the official of Jixiang is about to be sealed. The general of the seventh rank... happens to be a good match. A good match is a good match!"
In the past two days, Wang Fuchen, Wang Zhongxiao and their group have been promoted and made rich together!
It turned out that Wang Fuchen was promoted to Minister of Internal Affairs, Admiral of the Nine Gates, and Commander of the Third Patrol Battalion, Wang Zhongxiao was promoted to First Class Bodyguard, Commander of Niangan, and Master Yu was promoted to the seventh rank of Zhili Candidate County. And "Xian, Yi, Ren, An, Quan", the five adopted sons or servants of the Wang family who participated in the hunt for Ao Bai like Master Yu, were all given to Mr. Ying Qian or Mr. Wei Qian of the sixth rank and the sixth rank, although they were all He is a candidate, but with the Nine Admiral Yamen and Nianganchu Yamen in the hands of the Wang family and his son, it will be a matter of time to fill the gap.
In addition, Cao Yin, Zhang Xiaobao, and Guo Jinbao also benefited. Cao Yin is now a third-class guard. Although he is only "third-class", he is walking in front of the emperor... He is the legendary guard with a sword in front of the emperor, and he is more confidant than Wang Zhongxiao's walking Ouchi!
Zhang Xiaobao, like Guo Jinbao, both rewarded the sixth grade pen calligrapher.
This pen clerk sounds like an inconspicuous clerk, but in fact it is a direct line to promotion for bannermen. Not only are there many positions, but you can also work from the ninth rank to the fifth rank. The promotion is easy and fast, and only the Eight Banners disciples and Baoyi people can do it. It is called the "Eight Banners Road" . And Zhang Xiaobao and Guo Jinbao are now directly ranked as sixth-grade Bi Tie Shi. With a little effort, they can "clear the customs" as Bi Tie Shi. Next, wouldn't it be easy to be appointed as a prefect or Taoist priest?
So when it comes to the future of officialdom, Guo Jinbao's writing skills are much higher than Li Jixiang's. It's just that Li Jixiang also has Wang Fuchen, an internal minister, as his biological uncle, so Li Chunni and Guo Jinbao are considered to be a good match.
Wang Zhongxiao finished talking about "gateway" and started talking about Jixiang's future again, "And Jixiang should be a military attache, and he will definitely go to the battlefield in the future! If Jinbao and Gunpowder Guo can teach him a little about cannon shooting, If you have the ability, you won’t have to charge into battle in the future. You can just hide behind and fire off cannons to make meritorious deeds. How great!”
This time Mrs. Li and Zhang finally nodded... No matter how good Chunni is, she is still a married daughter, and Jixiang is the couple's heart and soul.
Seeing his aunt nod, Wang Zhongxiao breathed a sigh of relief, and then found that neither his father nor Li Jixiang showed up.
"Right? Where are my dad and Ji Xiang? It's almost dinner time, why haven't they come back yet?"
Li Fuhan smiled and said: "Shikai, your father has taken office as a new official and is very busy! He didn't come back last night, so I guess he will have to work all night again today."
"Oh..." Wang Zhongxiao nodded, thinking: Where are you busy? Weaving the Cao family or Dingnannangege Mansion? It can't be the Ming Dynasty, right?
