Chapter 9 Say hello to Jia Liu if you don't understand
Feng Gege’s surname is Feng and her given name is Jiwen.
"Gege" does not specifically refer to the royal princess and the princes or county princes of the clan, but is a general term used by the banner people for the daughters of the banner who have not left the cabinet.
Of course, it is limited to the Eight Banners of Manchuria, which are often referred to as "noble ladies" in the banners.
Feng Gerge is the current Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment and the Minister of Household Affairs, the governor of Manchuria in Zhenghuang Banner, and the granddaughter of an honest and upright person who serves as the vice president of the "Sikuquanshu" library. This background certainly makes her worthy of a noble daughter.
The problem is that her grandfather’s name is Yinglian, so how come her granddaughter’s surname is Feng?
The reason is also simple. Ying Lian's ancestors were Han Chinese, and he was the veteran leader of the banner when Emperor Taizu started his business. Later, Emperor Taizong specially rewarded the Manchurian Zhenghuang Banner that was carried in. This qualification is much better than that of later entrants.
The Jia family, which Guan Conglong organized as the Han military flag, was so high that many senior officials of the Eight Banners of Mongolia could not compare with it.
There are actually many people like Ying Lian whose ancestors were genuine Han people who were brought into the Manchu banner. These people all have one thing in common, that is, only women in future generations can bear the surname of their ancestors, while men must be named like Manchus and never bear Han surnames.
.
Because they regard themselves as True Manchuria, so the names of these people sound exactly the same as True Manchuria.
Of course, Jia Liu didn't care whether Feng Gege's surname was Feng or Ying. What he cared about was the person named He Shen.
As soon as the second brother-in-law said this person's name, Jia Liu's buttocks suddenly hung in the air, his ears suddenly stood up silently, and his eyes were bright.
Fortunately, the pupils did not dilate.
"Oh, okay, okay!"
Jia Daquan also became excited. Who is Ying Shangshu? I heard that he is going to be the minister of government soon. If such a big man can say a few words of kindness for the Jia family, the Jia family's problem will be solved easily. He was too excited, but he didn't
Note that his second son-in-law said he knew Ying Shangshu's grandson-in-law He Shen, rather than knowing Ying Shangshu himself.
As a daughter, she knew what her father was thinking. Jialan poured cold water on his father at that time: "Dad, your son-in-law knows not Ying Shangshu, but his grandson-in-law He Shen."
"ah?"
Jia Daquan was stunned for a moment, then grinned and said, "This is different."
It's no different. Grandpa and grandson-in-law are not outsiders.
Jia Lan was too lazy to explain to her, and asked her husband Gao Delu a little worriedly: "Can He Shen help our family?"
"It might not have been helpful in the past, but I'm afraid it might be of some use now."
Gao Delu told his wife and father-in-law that He Shen's fortune had changed since he married the granddaughter of Ying Shangshu. He first served as a guard in the palace, and now, under the operation of Ying Shangshu, he was on duty at the sticking post.
"It's sticky!"
Jia Daquan's eyes suddenly straightened, and his eldest son-in-law Wang Zhian also looked envious. Why?
The sticky pole is the guard office in the palace that is responsible for guarding the emperor. Although the people inside may not see the emperor every day, they will definitely show up next to him every once in a while.
Moreover, the power of this sticky pole is also very great. I heard that it is similar to the Jinyi Guards of the previous dynasty. They are very powerful. The guards inside are divided into first class, second class, third class and blue feather guards. Not only are they all of high grade, they are also very powerful.
A foreigner can serve as a commander-in-chief with real power.
It can be said that being able to be on duty at the sticky pole is a good thing that bannermen dream of.
It's a pity that this good place has nothing to do with the Han military flag.
"Second brother-in-law, do you have a good relationship with He Shen?"
Jia Liu didn't care about the sticking point, what he cared about was whether Gao Delu could really invite Heshen, and don't make trouble for a long time. Heshen was like his cousin's uncle, and he didn't even let people in.
"What should I say? Without my Gao family, he and Shen would not be what they are today." Other Gao Delu refused to guarantee, but he was sure about He Shen.
It turned out that He Shen's father was Chang Bao, the former governor of Fujian. However, Chang Bao died early and suddenly, and he did not save much property for the family during his lifetime. Therefore, He Shen's family lost their source of income when Chang Bao died. Although their life was not too miserable,
But I was also very embarrassed and had to borrow money from relatives and friends again and again.
Later, when He Shen grew older, he learned that fifteen hectares of land in his family was in the hands of Lai Wu, his father's subordinate during his lifetime, so he and his servant Liu Quan went to Lai Wu to ask for it, so as to support the family and their brothers' education expenses.
Unexpectedly, Lai Wu turned against the others and not only misappropriated the land of the Heshen family, but also paid the Dutong Yamen to transfer the land deed directly to his name.
Powerless and young, Heshen had no choice but to borrow money from his grandfather Jiamo, who was the governor of the river.
As a result, my grandfather Jiamo, who was tired of being borrowed, thought that Heshen must be a dandy, otherwise why would he spend so much money, so he flatly refused.
Desperate, Heshen really had no place to borrow money, so he had to think of borrowing money, and somehow he found a business run by the Gao family, a moneymaker in the outer city.
After explaining the purpose of his visit, at first the Gao family's steward in charge of leasing money refused to lend money to Heshen because he felt that although the boy was a bannerman, his parents were dead and there was nothing valuable in the house to use as collateral, so what could he use to repay the money?
?
While they were pushing people out, Gao Delu's father, Gao Wenju, came out of nowhere. At first glance, he felt that the handsome young man He Shen made people feel particularly good, and he was also the kind of person who was particularly approachable and trustworthy.
When the manager explained the matter, Gao Wenju, who had always been stingy, unexpectedly lent Heshen three hundred taels without interest for the first time, and asked Heshen to go to school safely, and anyone who had any difficulties in life could come to him.
"How come I haven't heard you talk about this before?"
Jia Lan wondered how her father-in-law could be so kind to He Shen, as he always left a layer of oil on his hands.
Gao Delu smiled and said: "You haven't entered the door yet."
With the support of the Gao family, Heshen was able to solve the family's predicament. Later, his grandfather Jiamo also knew that his grandson was not a playboy, so he asked someone to send another few hundred taels, so that the Heshen brothers could continue to complete their work in Xian.
Anguan's academic studies.
"...I have to say that He Shen is really good, much better than the six of us."
Gao Delu didn't mean to belittle his famous prodigal brother-in-law when he said this. He really thought He Shen was awesome.
"Your brother-in-law said it was just for fun, don't take it seriously."
Jia Lan, as a sister, had to take care of some brothers. Jia Liu shrugged his shoulders and smiled shyly, saying he didn't mind. At this moment, he was very interested in Comrade He Shen's past.
According to Gao Delu, most of the students in Xian'an Official School are dandies from the Eight Banners. They indulge in eating, drinking and having fun all day long. They rely on the power of their families and do not take their teachers seriously. Du Heshen is an exception. They not only study hard but also respect their teachers, especially those who hold positions of responsibility.
Brothers Wu Shenglan and Wu Shengqin, who were teachers of the official school, particularly respected them.
As a result, Yuan Mei, who was famous all over the world, came to Beijing to visit Brother Wu Shenglan and asked if there were any good scholars in the official school. Wu Shenglan recommended He Shen without saying a word. Yuan Mei didn't believe it at first, but he agreed after meeting He Shen in person and taking the exam.
He was full of praise and even sent He Shen a poem.
Hearing this, Jia Liu secretly sighed: Sure enough, life does not depend on oneself, but on noble people.
The rest of the matter will be a matter of course. With Yuan Mei, a great talent who is famous all over the world, praising him, He Shen's name will definitely spread to the ears of some big shots.
Yinglian, then the governor of Zhili, was one of them.
The role of a British and honest official is very important, but all his children died young, and only one granddaughter, Jiwen, is still alive.
Ying Lian, who loved his granddaughter, wanted to find a good husband for his granddaughter, someone who was truly young and promising, not a dandy among the bannermen.
Hearing Yuan Mei say that there was a young man named He Shen who was good, Ying Lian immediately became interested and went to Xian'an Official School during a trip to Beijing. He saw that it was as Yuan Mei said, He Shen was not only good-looking but also talented in learning.
She was also a leader among the children of the banner people, so she immediately made the decision to marry her granddaughter Feng Jiwen to Heshen.
Later, through Yinglian's relationship, Heshen got an errand in Luan Yiwei. Luan Yiwei was responsible for the arrangement of the emperor's ceremonial guards, so Heshen was actually the bearer who carried the emperor's sedan chair.
It’s not that Ying Lian lacks dedication, it’s because He Shen was born in the Zhenghong Banner of the Lower Five Banners. Since the beginning of Shunzhi, it has been stipulated that the children of the Lower Five Banners can only serve as guards for the palace, and it is impossible for them to be enlisted as guards in the army like the children of the Upper Three Banners.
Now that He Shen is able to work as a bearer for the emperor's sedan chair, it is already the result of Ying Lian mobilizing all his connections. Last year, with Ying Lian's painstaking operation, He Shen finally got an opportunity to work as a errand at the sticky pole.
Here, we are very close to the emperor, which is why Ying Lian spent so much effort.
Otherwise, he just wanted his grandson-in-law to be close to the emperor, so that he would have a chance to get ahead.
Therefore, Gao Delu said that He Shen could help with the Jia family's matter. Even if He Shen couldn't help, he must have a few close colleagues.
These guards at Sticky Rod have a lot of energy.
The matter was quickly settled, and Jia Daquan decided to ask his second son-in-law to accompany him to find Heshen tomorrow. He thought more, even if Heshen couldn't help, as long as Heshen could get through with his cousin Yinghentu
We also need Ying Shangshu from the Guangda University to get on the line, which is not a piece of cake.
The more I thought about it, the happier I became, so my stomach clapped and I left the two sons-in-law to eat.
Sisters Jia Juan and Jia Lan went to the kitchen to get some food and wine, while Yang Zhi helped with the cooking.
Gao Delu accompanied his father-in-law and continued to talk about Heshen, but Jia Liu pulled his eldest brother-in-law Wang Zhian aside and said, "Brother-in-law, I want to ask you something."
Wang Zhian asked curiously: "What's the matter?"
"That's it, that's it..."
No matter how much he thought about it, Jia Liu couldn't remember what the original words were. He patted his head at the end and said, "Yes, the beast in the cage ran out and damaged the things. Who is responsible?"
There was a hint of urgency in his serious look for advice.
