Chapter 24

Although there is barely a dark thread from Shi Wenbing, it seems that he can know some of his father's activities.But Hongxiu is still young and learning the rules in the yard, so he can't come in handy yet.Shujia herself still persisted in doing odd jobs in her Ama's study and being a little spy by the way, which really made her wait.

On this day, when Shi Wenbing came back, he held the mansion newspaper in his hand as usual, and his whole body was in a relaxed posture.Shujia tilted her head curiously, Shi Wenbing smiled unexpectedly and did not stop her.Shujia rolled her eyes, stretched her head to look at the residence newspaper in his hand, and the punishment result came out.

Sirut also asked: "What's the matter? Master is so happy?" Shi Wenbing didn't have the habit of passing the mansion newspaper to the backyard. Could it be that it was an unexpected joy like this today?Shi Wenbing leaned down and said to Shujia, "Read it to your mother."

It's really not easy. When discussing the crimes of the king and ministers, I was afraid that the sentence would not be harsh enough. Even the original leader felt that Luo Barbu could be dismissed and hanged. .That's Jue Luo, who can put his wife and unseparated son into the collar of the coat.Others who received the same punishment were Deputy Governor Tuodai, Jingqini Hafan Shuota, former Shangshu Haerhaqi, etc.

Hearing that Sirut was startled, he repeated his chanting: "What's the matter? Can Jueluo's family be weaved into the collar of the coat? Then how did Ama judge? The master actually agreed?" Shi Wenbing held back a smile, Patting Shujia on the head: "Stop reading irrelevant things." Shujia's black line, I read it for so long, you just came to interrupt, obviously because you want to see Erniang nervous!You are black-bellied, black-bellied.

Looking back, the king and ministers who discussed politics said that Huashan, the forehead son-in-law, and Shi Duonuo, the former Zuodu censor, could not rescue Yongxing immediately, planned to be dismissed, and had no family property.

This punishment is much lighter than that of those few, and Sirut laughed: "Ama and Erniang are married couples, can the name of the forehead be avoided? The original general seal is over. It’s not of much use, what else is there to change?” Even the house raiding is very troublesome, Huashan’s son and Shujia’s father are now hereditary earls and real-time deputy governors, and they live together again. Is Shi Wenbing copying here or not?Shi Wenzhuo was originally a supervisor, but later became a low-level bodyguard in the palace and had his own career and career, so what kind of group does he belong to?
If the house is really going to be ransacked, the Shi family must not be the only ones who will suffer from it.

Shi Wenbing just smiled and said nothing, while Shujia continued to read.Xiao Xuanzi showed mercy, and the people in front who had discussed to be killed were all spared from death, and Hua Shan was just dismissed.The whole family laughed.

With this kind of good news, Shi Lang asked for an order to transfer land officers and soldiers from Xinghua, Jiangdong and other places with naval forces to attack Penghu and Taiwan, but did not transfer the troops from the banner battalion here in Hangzhou. Shi Wenbing was able to face such things calmly. .Others in the banner camp were not so happy.

General Mahada of Hangzhou, Tong Jia's family, native of Zhengbai Banner in Manchuria, in the seventh year of Kangxi, he was promoted to be the deputy capital of Manchuria in Zhengbai Banner.When San Francisco had a lot of military merits, he returned to Hangzhou, and on merits, he was awarded the third class Adahaha.I started out with military exploits, but this time I couldn't sit still.He had a relatively smooth journey in the San Francisco, and finally won the hereditary title of the third-class captain of light vehicles.I was more enthusiastic about the war in my heart, but unexpectedly I didn't let him go this time.

Mahada was very unhappy, but he couldn't help it. The emperor didn't let you go, and it was useless if you wanted to go.Furthermore, the Banner Camp in Hangzhou is also very important, and one cannot leave casually to control an important southeast town.Mahada turned his unhappiness into motivation, to make some money or something.

Although Ma Hada's surname is Tong Jia, it has nothing to do with the mother's family of Empress Xiaokangzhang of the Hanjun Banner.He is also a bit capable and caring.In this fertile place of Hangzhou, even the ordinary filial piety below is more than other places.

However, Hangzhou does not belong to him alone. It is still a provincial capital, and there are many officials of various kinds.Shi Wenbing is a banner man and vice capital commander. He is shorter than him in terms of position, but higher than him in terms of title.On Shi Wenbing's birthday in October last year, Ma Hada took people to celebrate Shi Wenbing's birthday very much. 36 years old is not a whole life, it is considered to be the year of birth anyway, so the ostentation is not small, and I have collected some things.The Xuande furnace in Xilut’s room, the painting of chanting in Shi Wenbing’s study, the snuff bottles sent to Beijing during the Chinese New Year...

Now it's spring, and Ma Hada, who has nothing to do, drags Shi Wenbing to do business again.It's not that he personally or sent his family members to open the shop, but brought Shi Wenbing together as the backstage.The commerce in Hangzhou is considered prosperous. To do business in Hangzhou, you must have some background.Especially in Hangzhou, there was no banner camp at first. After the Qing army entered the customs and went south, it built a city in the northwest of Hangzhou City. The place has been used as the site of the camp, so there is no need to elaborate on the story behind it.

At the end of the Shunzhi Dynasty, there were more and more bannermen, and the expansion of the city frightened the gentry in Hangzhou. They would rather pay for the bannerman to build another house than let them enclose the territory in the city.Therefore, here, the Han people are extremely afraid that the bannermen will have any problems again, and businessmen especially pay attention to making money with harmony.And the officers of the Eight Banners garrison must take good care of them, otherwise, if something happens to these masters, it will be a great disaster.

At this time, the atmosphere in the officialdom is not too bad, but there is also such a practice that the governor of a certain place can get dry shares in certain merchants and other places.Larger transactions have such secret accounts, which is bluntly said to be a collusion between government and businessmen and an umbrella.In Hangzhou, this rule is observed by everyone.

The original vice-dutong naturally also had a share, he was dismissed, his share was allocated to Mahada, Shi Wenbing came, and this share was naturally given to Shi Wenbing.Ma Hada was in a panic when he was idle, and it happened to be a reference for Shi Wenbing, and he took the opportunity to reap some benefits.Without fighting, their life is really idle.

Last year, some merchants cleverly included Shi Wenbing in the budget, and squeezed out a little bit. However, Shi Wenbing was busy last year, and he was not familiar with the situation here. He didn't get everything he deserved. Now... …

Shi Wenbing is not an idiot who doesn't understand the world, and with Shi Lin's advice, he accepts it quickly.The risk of becoming a dry stock is not great. Their names do not officially appear in the dividend list, and most of them use pseudonyms or the names of their servants.Just take the money at the end of the year, and once the merchant has any disputes or needs to give the green light to make things easier, the forces behind these entrants will also step in and take care of it.

That's the way it is.

So Shi Wenbing made a lot of money, and Sirut also bought furniture with confidence.After setting up a new home, there are naturally many things to add.Shujia and Shuxian's jewellery, etc. will also be purchased. Their dowry boxes have been prepared in Beijing, and Shuxian's has been in use for a while. Shujia's has not been used yet. At this time, they are also rewarded to my aunt. In addition, new ones are made to order in Hangzhou.

Take a look, the box is more than a foot high, the purple-brown wood looks thick, and the carving is exquisite.Once the board on the top is opened, a glass mirror can be erected inside. There are four small drawers on the box, which can be opened to put some hairpins, hairpins, pearls, etc. Shujia does not have such collections yet. , she is not bald now, but her hair is not so long.

Below the drawer are two small doors that look like cabinet doors. When they are opened, they are empty and can hold some small boxes and the like.

Mother Yin touched the box and said, "This is made of red sandalwood, which is rare."

Shujia shook her hand, red sandalwood...is it too extravagant to make a makeup box for a child?

It is easy to make money if it is released outside, and more importantly, when you are old, you will naturally have to provide good things for your family.Aunt Wu Ya took out the two pairs of earrings given by Mrs. Sirut last time, gestured and said, "It's March, and it's my wife's birthday in two days. It's supposed to be wearing jade..."

While hesitating, Sirut sent Mudan over: "Girl, hello." Hongxiu hurried over to open the curtain and said, "Hello, sister." Peony touched the top of her head, came in to say hello first, and asked the nuns Alright, nod to Chunxi and Xiaxi again.

Holding a mother-of-pearl box in his hand, he handed it over and said, "My wife asked me to bring some things for the girl tomorrow." When I opened it, I saw a box of jade wares, jade bracelets, jade pendants, etc. There are even a few hairpins, but the shape is quite small, the size of a child, obviously intended for Shujia.

Aunt Wu Ya explained to her and counted the number.Qing Jin poured tea and served it.Peony smiled and said, "Thank you, Miss, for the reward." After drinking, she said something else: "Madam's birthday, there are a lot of presents from outside, even better than in Beijing. Madam is happy, maybe there are good things to reward." .”

Xia Xi asked what was there, and Mudan said: "The adults have some antique decorations, rulers and the like. The strange thing is that the shops in our house sent them all. They are all rare goods from the north and the south. I heard that there are also Western ones. something."

Shujia smiled and said: "Since you want to know, I will go to greet Er Niang later, so you can go with me, as soon as Er Niang is happy, she must let me see." Xia Xi smiled and rolled her eyes: "When Madam is happy , give the girl a few more things, put them in our room, and I will be able to open my eyes even more." Peony thumped her: "Since that's the case, I'll go back to my wife first."

Since Shujia Shuxian learned to read and write, Sirut gradually asked her daughters to read some lists and simple letters to her.She belongs to the group of banner people who entered the customs earlier, and she is not very familiar with these literary things. Daily life is fine, but writing and drawing are a bit of a headache.It just so happened that my daughter used it. In order not to waste human resources, but also to let her gradually get in touch with some housework since she was a child, it happened to be used.

When Shujia took Xia Xi over, Sirut was lying on the couch, and Shaoyao was rubbing her shoulders.Seeing Shujia coming, he beckoned to her: "It's just right, your brother wrote a letter, read it to me."

Sirut's birthday, of course a son has to show his filial piety, Fu Dali and Qingde have no income now, they only have monthly money, so they can't afford any heavy gifts, but they ordered a few jewelry in Beijing Come on, write another letter.Shujia read it, and it was also Heshou's words, and said that they had excellent grades in government schools and everything was fine.

After Sirut finished listening, she carefully put the letter into the box and put it in a box. Shujia recognized that the mother-of-pearl box was specially used to hold letters from her two brothers.Asked in a low voice: "Emiang, do you want to write back to my brothers? I can write very well, you said I wrote," Duduzui, "I miss them a little bit, and I want to write to them, but I'm afraid Ama said that I was naughty, and refused to send a single person to deliver a letter for me. If Er Niang also came along, Ama would not say anything, okay?" Tilting her head to pretend to be a loli.

Sirut's heart was moved, and Xia Xi hurriedly continued: "Young lady's pens and inks are all ready-made, and this servant will go and get them." Soon they took them, and Shujia polished the inks herself.Sirut said one sentence, she wrote one sentence.First of all, I said that everything is fine here, and then asked about the situation in Beijing, how is the food, how is the dress, how is the body, how is the schoolwork, have you grown taller?Etc., etc.

Having an extra secretary and being able to communicate with his son again put Sirut in a good mood.Seeing Shujia finish the envelope, Sirut said: "If you want a letter, go back and write it. I will tell you, Ama, to send it back tomorrow. Lamei will go to your eldest girl and ask her if she has a letter to bring." , together if there is one.”

Shujia just wanted to make her happy, but she didn't expect it to be so fast, she couldn't help being surprised and said: "So convenient? After that..." Sirut said: "Is it easy for you? This is also a coincidence, this year is the show girl Big pick, as soon as the first month is over, the old ladies here will go north. It is estimated that now that the first round of selection is over, the ones who put up the sign should come down, and people will be sent here to pick them up. It just so happens that we ask someone to follow along. go."

Show girl...big challenge...

Shujia is very sensitive to Xiunv, because Qingpu members can't do without it when they talk about it.Shujia remembered that her family's conditions should also be included in the selection list, and she was very concerned about this, and usually paid attention to whether she had anything to say about Xiu Nu, but there was very little useful information.

First they fought against San Francisco, then they went to their hometown to repay their ancestors for their merits, and then they wanted to take over Taiwan.Kangxi finally relented. With Shi Lang winning every battle, the old man somehow remembered that most of the boys of his family who were of the right age in the past ten years in the middle of Beijing were not married, and the girls in the banners all over the country were also unmarried. dare not marry = =
Alright then, open the election.Coincidentally, he had just brought his precious prince down from Mount Wutai to cultivate himself, so he could also get involved in the secular life.

In this draft, many Banner families have high expectations. With so many yellow belts, everyone's chances of being selected will be higher.The emperor is still young, and if it is not in order, someone will have good luck.This is especially true for the lower-ranking bannermen in the family.Even if you don't get selected, it's good to put down the sign, at least you can get married.Looking at the sky with tears in my eyes.

Hangzhou is a relatively large city inhabited by banner people. When Kangxi received the order for the draft in early 22, those who had girls of the right age at home began to prepare. This time it was genuine preparation.There were preparations in previous years, but they were not selected every year. Many people did not see their will when they were old, and they all slackened later.

This time, there was a decree, and the Hangzhou camp was in chaos, rushing to make clothes, prepare jewelry, and learn the rules.How many years has it been since the founding of the country?How many times have you selected a show girl?You can count the dead emperors and queens by scraping off your fingers, and you don’t need to take off your socks.In all these times, the interval between them was quite long, and Hangzhou was far away from the capital city, so the rules learned were quite messy.

Then it is to send the show girls to Beijing. Those who have human, financial and material resources will have a more spectacular team. It is said that the show girls will go through several rounds of elimination, and if they are lucky, they will have to live in the palace for two days and bring all kinds of clothes, jewelry and daily necessities.Those with poorer family backgrounds may be just a few families who have friendship with each other get together.

When it was sent to Beijing, there were those who were shortlisted for the first time, and those who followed had to wait.Those who have been brushed down will be brushed back.Some people’s families don’t have enough money, so they may send people to pick them up recently, and if they are shortlisted, they might want to marry them, and they will go to Beijing to hold a wedding.So the second group of relatives and friends set off, and the Shi family's family letter went north with the group.

By the time Kuai Ma brought back the results of the primary election and let Hangzhou go to pick up the draft girls, it was already March. In March, two people from the Shi family celebrated their birthdays, one was Sirut and the other was Shi. Lin.Sirut's birthday is on the tenth day of March, and Shi Lin's birthday is March 23rd.Shi Wenbing has a lot of money recently, and because it is the first time that he lives together in the same city, Sirut's birthday present for his uncle is also very solemn.

For Sirut's own birthday, he also invited guests and received a lot of birthday gifts.Because the results of the primary election came out, there was such a big gossip at the banquet, and there were quite a few people who wentssip together.
