Chapter 1894: Intervening in history (rolling and asking for monthly votes)
Chapter 1895: Meddling in history (wowling for monthly votes)
In the North Second Courtyard, Manager Cui was wearing fur and sitting on a lounge chair in the corridor.
Looking at the little girl from the side.
On the small table is a bird cage, and inside is a jet black myna.
"Happy New Year, happy New Year..."
Brother Myna said something pleasant, and for every word he said, he got a peeled pumpkin seed.
Cui Baisui had just come back from his shift. He was holding half a plate of dumplings in his hand. While eating, he said: "There is a temple fair in the Chenghuang Temple. You, old man, should also go out and see the juggling and various performances..."
Manager Cui waved his hand and said, "There are a lot of people and monsters. I'm impatient to squeeze in with them."
Cui Baisui said: "Then go to the temple and Taoist temple..."
Mr. Cui said: "There are many people idle during the New Year, and there are also many people in the temple."
"Pah...pah..."
There was a knock on the door, and Cui Baisui hurriedly shouted: "Coming, coming..."
With that said, he put down the dumplings and trotted over to open the door.
When he opened the door and saw Brother Jiu, Cui Baisui was startled: "Master, why are you here?"
Brother Jiu glanced at him with disgust and said: "Silly, of course I came just when I wanted to!"
After saying that, he walked around Cui Baisui and entered the courtyard.
Manager Cui had already heard the movement at the door and got up from the recliner: "Brother..."
Yesterday morning, everyone in Baylor House had celebrated the New Year.
At this time, Manager Cui doesn't need to pay homage again.
Brother Jiu looked at the deck chair and the bird cage and said, "Is Shuda having a pleasant life?"
Manager Cui smiled and said, "Thanks to my brother, I have good food and drinks here, so I just try different ways to pass the time."
"Happy New Year, Happy New Year..."
When Brother Myna saw someone coming, he was not only not afraid, but also a little more active.
Brother Jiu listened to the noise, looked at the myna, and said: "It's the same as talking to a human. This crow-like voice is more like a human voice than a parrot."
Manager Cui said proudly: "This is brought by a merchant from Qiongzhou. It costs twenty-four taels of silver. The slave has been training it for two years..."
As he spoke, he touched the bird cage, held a pumpkin seed kernel, and said: "Say quickly, Jiuye Kangtai, Jiuye Da'an..."
"Jiuye Kangtai...Jiuye Da'an..."
Brother Myna imitated the tongue and took away the pumpkin seeds.
Cui Baisui was smart. Seeing that Brother Jiu had no intention of entering the room, he went to move the chair out.
Brother Jiu sat down and exclaimed: "You are really willing to give up. You can buy several little girls and boys for this..."
Brother Ninth had been in the Ministry of Household Affairs for more than half a year and had read the files of the Eight Banners Division. In addition to the industrial red deeds, there were also many deeds for human trafficking.
During the time of Shizu, the world was not yet stable, and little girls and boys were worth only three or five taels of silver.
The same was true in the early years of Kangxi.
In recent years, when the world is at peace, the money for selling one's body has also increased, and it has not exceeded ten taels of silver.
Manager Cui also sat down and said: "If you buy a little girl, a little boy, you have to work hard to feed me. If you don't want to worry about it, just a few coins a month to buy a bag of melon seeds is enough."
Besides, all the supplies here come from the government, so he doesn't need anyone to serve him.
Three meals a day are delivered from the dining room, clothes for all seasons are prepared in the sewing room, and the clothes are collected and cleaned.
The yard is swept and cleaned by someone every ten days.
Brother Jiu said: "You are having such a leisurely life these days, I feel uncomfortable watching you."
Manager Cui: "..."
Brother Jiu said: "I originally thought that after Fengsheng and the others moved the front yard, I would ask you to go over and help Fengsheng. But since you are so idle, you should hurry up sooner rather than later. It's better not to wait until later. What's going on here?
After the study room is set up, you can go over and be a teacher and teach a few children Chinese and Chinese..."
Manager Cui: "..."
He said with hesitation on his face: "Master, my servant is getting older, and there is no shortage of talents in the house..."
The ninth elder brother said: "Don't be lazy. I'm too embarrassed to see people from Fujin. Look at the house now. The eldest elder brother is being led by the county chief, and the eldest elder brother and the second elder brother are being watched by Aunt Qi."
, when the younger brother landed, he transferred the Xing Jiang family..."
"With no one you can trust watching, can I and Fujin rest assured..."
"I and Fujin can just deal with the people who come in later. They can suppress them, but they don't dare to let them go in front of the children..."
"If you are unwilling to work, then I have no choice but to arrange for He Yuzhu to go to the inner study..."
He Yuzhu was nearby, standing with Cui Baisui and listening, but he didn't expect that the fire would be lit on his own head.
He hurriedly said: "Manager, please hurry up and accept it. The master can trust me, but I can't trust myself!"
Manager Cui: "..."
Brother Jiu glared at He Yuzhu and Cui Baisui and said, "If you are willing to use it, why would I use it to invite Xu Da?"
He Yuzhu: "..."
Cui Baisui: "..."
It seems that children are indeed not their strong point, and they do not dare to take over easily. The responsibility is heavy.
If they follow their master as a servant, they will really be negligent, and they will be punished; if they follow their little master, if they really do something wrong, they don't need to be punished, and they themselves would like to be hanged with a rope.
Manager Cui thought about the actions of Brother Jiu and his wife, and he indeed trusted the old man more.
Especially around the young masters, they all choose again and again.
??????????.??????
There is a study room here, and few people are staring at it.
He sighed inwardly and said: "Since I don't mind my old age, I will serve you for a few years."
Brother Jiu immediately laughed and said: "Why are you old? Don't be lazy. Mr. Gu is over seventy years old and has not yet been raised. You are still a generation younger..."
Today, the highest-ranking eunuch in the palace is in charge of the respect room and serves as the advisor to the general manager of Qianqing Palace. He is an old man left by Emperor Shizu and has always been valued by the emperor.
Because he was on top, imperial attendants like Liang Jiugong could only serve as deputy general manager of Qianqing Palace, but not as general manager.
Manager Cui listened with a smile, but felt worried in his heart.
These eunuchs who came out of Qianqing Palace were all taught by Mr. Gu.
Brother Jiu said that Mr. Gu had no honor and support, which was not true.
What's right is that Manager Gu is still busy with errands; what's wrong is that the old man's health has not been very good since he was forty years old. He spends most of his time recuperating in the palace in the imperial city and rarely works in the palace anymore...

After a comfortable sleep, it was dusk.
There was some faint movement in the outer room.
Shu Shu looked at Ginkgo.
Bai Guo said: "It's Da Gege who's here..."
Shu Shu raised her voice and said: "Nigu Zhu..."
Ni Guzhu, who heard the cry in the outer room, opened the curtain and came in, followed by Hazel.
"Enie, did I wake you up?"
Ni Guzhu stepped forward lightly and held the kang along the path.
Shu Shu shook her head, glanced at her belly, and said: "I didn't wake you up, it's because I fell asleep..."
Ni Guzhu touched his belly and said: "My stomach doesn't hurt anymore. Sister Zhenzi took me for a walk outside, and also visited my eldest brother and second brother. I miss Eni and I insist on coming over to see Eni." .”
Shu Shu leaned forward, kissed her forehead, and said: "I miss you too..."
Ni Guzhu's face turned red, she leaned into Shu Shu's arms and said, "Do you miss Amma more, or me more?"
Before Shu Shu could answer, there was a soft hum at the door.
Brother Jiu came back, and just as he was about to tell Shu Shu about Manager Cui's promise to go out, he bumped into a little cotton-padded jacket leaking air.
Mother and daughter looked at the door together.
Ni Guzhu was caught red-handed and immediately covered his mouth.
Shu Shu smiled and said to Ni Guzhu: "Of course I miss you Ama more. Your Ama and I will be husband and wife first, and one of them must come first..."
Ni Guzhu nodded and said: "Okay, Mama said the same thing. Mama brought Eni first. In Mama's heart, Eni must be ranked before me..."
Brother Jiu was sitting at the door with a proud look on his face. He looked at Ni Guzhu and said, "That's the reason. In Amma's heart, you, Ani, are also ranked ahead of you..."
The little cubs are one year older and are starting to become more thoughtful.
One by one, they are trying to find every opportunity to compete for favor!
Brother Jiu looked at his eldest daughter and didn't think he was precious anymore. He told Zhenzi, "Don't always bring Da Gege here to disturb Fujin's rest. Take her back quickly!"
Hazel looked at Shu Shu.
Is this an old belt?
Only this time in total.
Shu Shu said: "Take it back and drink a bowl of ginger soup to drive away the cold."
Hazelnut responded and knelt down to hug Ni Guzhu.
Ni Guzhu took a step back and said: "Let's go back, my belly can still be reduced..."
The master and servant went back to Ning'an Hall.
Brother Jiu looked at Shu Shu and said, "It's because I didn't get off to a good start, so I asked a few of the younger ones to imitate your example and come over to bother you in turn."
Shu Shu said: "No worries, if I and the children don't come, I will feel uncomfortable alone."
Brother Jiu told me about Manager Cui's promise to manage the inner study.
"At that time, we will clean up a few more rooms for Shuda and other gentlemen to use for lunch..."
Shu Shu nodded.
Anyway, there are few masters in the mansion, the number of errands has also been reduced, and many rooms are empty.
Brother Ninth again talked about the Zhang brothers he met, and said: "Zhang Liu seems to be smarter than Zhang Er. After graduating from the Imperial College, his future should not be worse than Zhang Er..."
Shu Shu shook his head and said: "The selection of Han officials is different from that of flag officials. It is said that they are tribute students, and supervisor students are selected together with regular officials, but in fact it is not the case. Zhang Tingyu was born in Hanlin. If he joins the South Study Room in the future, he can directly step into the army.
If you pass the fifth or sixth rank, you don't have to work as a secretary, which is why Hanlin is called the prime minister."
The ninth elder brother said: "No wonder I think Zhang Er is so noble. It turns out that's the reason. But with Zhang Tingzhan pressing on him, Zhang Er wants to seal the pavilion and worship the prime minister, but he has to wait for Zhang Tingzhan to retreat..."
Hearing this, Shu Shu couldn't help but be startled.
In which year did Zhang Tingzhan disappear?
All I know is that he died before Zhang Ying.
Otherwise, Kangxi would not have to miss his old ministers, and it would be Zhang Tingyu who was promoted, not Zhang Tingzhan.
Shu Shu looked at Brother Ninth and said: "Go back and tell Dr. Jiang to ask him to check the pulses of the officials in the government. We will seal a big tea bag when the time comes. When he is full, we can come back."
It’s not convenient to ask for help after you’re in the hospital.”
Not just anyone can hire a doctor from this hospital.
There are grade restrictions on the appointment of imperial doctors among noble officials.
An imperial physician like Imperial Physician Jiang, who has superb medical skills and is specifically responsible for the royal master, basically does not go out for outpatient consultation...
