Sticking the pole is a private term in the flag, and the official name of this place is Shangyu Beichu.
The official positions here from top to bottom are the Minister of Management, the first-class bodyguard, the second-class bodyguard, the third-class bodyguard, and the blue-ling bodyguard. The minister of management is the second-class officer, the first-class bodyguard is the third-level officer, and the lowest-ranking blue-ling bodyguard is the sixth-level officer.
According to the old saying, those who run errands below Lan Ling's bodyguard are called officials, that is, errands without rank. However, these errands without rank are also divided into two levels: Tang'a.
The pen-posting style is equivalent to the book office of each yamen, which is responsible for translation, copying and copying official documents. It is a "pen-holder". Many Manchu officials used the pen-posting style to enter the official career. There was no shortage of pen-writing style in the Kangxi, Yongzheng and Qian dynasties A person who was promoted to a high official in the imperial court.
Although there are also pen-posted officers in the Han Army Banner, most of them have little promotion prospects. Being able to work in the various rooms under the banner's Dutong Yamen and reach the sixth or seventh grade is considered a success.
For example, Zhao Guodong, who gave guidance to the Jia family and his son, originally worked as a pen-poster in the rice bureau of Dutong Yamen, and was later promoted by someone else.
Compared to the "pen-holder" civil servant known as "Bi Tie Shi", Baitang'a is one level lower than him. He is just an errand boy. Not to mention the guards above him, even a low-ranking Bi Tie Shi can manipulate him.
In other words, although He Shen was transferred from being the bearer of Luan Yiwei to being on duty at the sticky pole, he was actually no different from the guard and security guard at the sticky pole.
Gao Delu didn't know the inside story and thought that He Shen had become a guard when he entered the sticky pole, so he shouted to the guards one by one.
But He Shen is actually very satisfied with this errand job.
Why would a Manchurian Eight Banners man, who was hereditary third-class light chariot captain, be willing to be an errand boy?
The reason is that working as an errand boy at the sticky pole is closer to the emperor than working as a bearer at Luan Yiwei.
Moreover, the person on duty at the sticky pole must always be from Shangsanqi. Even if it is a pen-stick style, worship Tang Adu must be a descendant of Shangsanqi.
Yinglian tried his best to get He Shen, the grandson-in-law of the Five Flags, into the Sticky Bar, not because he really wanted his grandson-in-law to run errands for others, but because besides being the closest to the emperor, this place was also a place where people could rise step by step. A great place.
According to the rules of the sticky pole, when a first-class guard becomes vacant, he must be filled by a second-class guard. The lowest Lan Ling guard is also filled by a pen-posted guard, and a pen-posted guard is filled by Baitang'a. So as long as Heshen can endure it, If you keep calm, you will be able to take over as a Blue Ling bodyguard sooner or later.
Fu Heng, the great bachelor who has passed away due to illness and the most favored by the emperor, rose to the top from the Blue Ling Guards.
In order for his grandson-in-law, who was under the Five Flags flag, to get into the sticky position, Yinglian secretly used many favors, and how many favors were guaranteed.
But no matter what happens in the future, He Shen is just running errands at Sticky Post after all. Although he has met the emperor, he has no chance to talk to him at all. How do you want him to help the Jia family?
There was some silence in the hall for a while.
When Gao Delu saw this, he knew that He Shen might not be able to handle it, so he said: "He Shen, I also know that this matter is not going to be easy to handle. Apart from you, I can't find anyone who can help..."
"Don't tell me this beforehand,"
Before Gao Delu could finish his words, He Shen interrupted him with a smile, then turned around and asked Liu Quan, "Has Madam been here?"
Liu Quan hurriedly said that he was too busy talking to the guests to inform his wife.
"Then why don't you go and invite Madam over? Is Brother Qing an outsider?" He Shen's face was obviously unhappy, unhappy that Liu Quan had neglected his benefactor's son.
"Hey, I'm going to invite Madam over right now!"
Liu Quan did not dare to delay and hurried to the backyard to invite his wife.
"My servant is ignorant and calls me brother Qing, which makes my uncle laugh!"
"No, no, we just arrived."
"..."
The twenty-three-year-old Heshen's treatment of others really impressed Jia Liu. Even if Heshen said that he could not help the Jia family today, his father Daquan and second brother-in-law Gao Delu, including himself, would definitely not say a word about Heshen. Compared with
Thinking of the cousin Aixinjueluo who was not even allowed to enter, He Shen deserved to be able to rise to great heights.
When Liu Quan arrived in the backyard, He Shen's wife Feng Jiwen was doing embroidery with her maid. When Liu Quan told her what had happened, Feng Jiwen suddenly became curious and asked, "Quan'er, who is here?"
When she first got married, the rule was to call Liu Quan the housekeeper, but her husband He Shen thought that except for the two dowry girls brought by his wife, there were no other servants in the house, so it was not appropriate to call Liu Quan the housekeeper, so he asked his wife to call him the housekeeper.
Liu Quan is "Quan'er".
This title has no meaning, it just shows that in He Shen's heart, Liu Quan is not an outsider, but a family member.
As for Liu Quan, who is in his thirties, being called "Quan'er" by his twenty-year-old wife is perfectly normal.
After all, no matter how small a master is, he is still a master; no matter how big a slave is, he is still a villain.
"It's the second son of Master Gao who helped our family before..."
After Liu Quan told the visitor's identity, Feng Jiwen nodded and said, "Since he is the son of his husband's benefactor, he is not a foreigner. I have to go see him."
After saying that, he put down the nühong in his hand and went straight to the front hall with Liu Quan.
The female family members of the Banner people are not as particular as those of the Han people, and they cannot meet unless they are members of the same family. Many affairs in the Banner family are arranged by the aunts and grandmothers.
"Husband!"
When Feng Jiwen arrived at the front hall, she first saluted her husband He Shen, and then looked at the guests with a smile.
He Shen was busy making introductions, and when he was asking his wife to salute Jia Daquan, an elder, Jia Daquan quickly pulled his son Jia Liu to his feet, and without saying a word, he hit Feng Jiwen with a thousand words and said with a smile on his face:
"Kowtow, greeting Princess, and wish her happiness, longevity and peace!"
Bannermen's juniors should greet their elders every three days, and greet their elders every five days. Greetings are a small gift, and they are also greeted by ordinary people when they meet each other.
Logically speaking, Jia Daquan was not Heshen's junior, and his son-in-law Gao Delu was the same generation as Heshen, so there was no need to pay such a big gift to Heshen's wife.
However, Feng Jiwen was not only the wife of He Shen, but also the granddaughter of the important minister Ying Shangshu, a noble daughter among the bannermen, and she had something to ask for, so Jia Daquan didn't care about anything and went ahead.
Even Jia Liu had to follow him to say hello.
"It can't be done, there is no reason for elders to pay respects to younger ones,"
As the granddaughter of a minister, Feng Jiwen must be knowledgeable and courteous. How could she dare to accept such a gift from her husband's friend's father-in-law? She turned aside and avoided it.
He Shen saw this and nodded slightly. His wife was indeed a virtuous and virtuous woman. He stepped forward with a smile and said a few words, blurring the etiquette matter, and then invited the Jia family to sit down. He saw the tea in the tea bowl.
I was afraid that it would be cold, so I filled the bowl myself for the two of them.
His behavior is completely unlike the arrogance of a Manchu bannerman, making it difficult for people not to get close to him.
After meeting the guests, the hostess Feng Jiwen withdrew on the pretext of preparing more delicious snacks so that her husband could continue talking to the guests.
Although she has been married to Heshen for almost two years, she has never been pregnant, so she still looks as slender as when she was a girl. Her appearance has not changed at all, she is like a girl, with a ladylike temperament between her eyebrows and eyes.
There is a bit of cuteness between the jaws, and being with He Shen, a handsome man, is a match made in heaven, and Jia Liu is envious.
When Feng Jiwen turned around and went out, Jia Liu took advantage of the tea in his hand to glance at her backside, and then took a sip of tea, his throat moving slightly.
"Why are you so unruly?"
The son drank tea, so he made a noise, which immediately made Jia Daquan, who had secretly farted just now, dissatisfied.
Jia Liu put down his tea bowl in silence and looked at He Shen who was talking to his second brother-in-law Gao Delu.
"...The emperor asked the National History Museum to prepare biographies of two ministers. I also heard about it in the palace...Well, how can I put it? It is not the fault of the ministers to have two surnames, it is all the fault of the king.
It’s too late.”
Heshen means those ministers designated by the emperor. It is not their fault, but the fault of the monarch to whom they once served.
Gao Delu had limited knowledge and didn't understand what he meant for a while, but his brother-in-law Jia Liu next to him said: "What I said to the guard is so right! The fact that my old man was sentenced to two ministers was unjust. The so-called tiger comes from the tree, the tortoise
The jade was destroyed in the coffin, who is at fault?"
After waiting for a long time, Jia Liu finally found the most suitable insertion point.
