"Ma'am...... Uncle has been promoted again!"

Xiaocha said happily: "Liu Quan'er came back to report the good news! Let the slave and maid hurry up and say something to his wife!"

When Qin Yan heard this, she didn't bother to blame Xiaocha for losing her rules, and she was extremely happy for a while, so she hurriedly asked, "What kind of official have you promoted?"

Feng Jiwen also put down the needle and thread in her hand. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Xing Xu had already known in his heart how broad He Shen's future prospect was, so when she heard the news of He Shen's promotion, Feng Jiwen would never feel any surprise.

But there are still two completely different emotions in my heart.

One is to be happy for him.

Second, there is worry.

"The slave maid heard Liu Quan'er say that what kind of tax collector is it......" Xiaocha thought about it anxiously, and after thinking about it for a long time, she suddenly said: "Chongwenmen, it is the official who is in charge of Chongwenmen's tax collection!"

"The official of Chongwenmen who collects taxes?" the originally happy expression on Qin Yan's face narrowed.

How does it sound...... It's not high-end at all, but it's not high-end?

It's not as good as the position of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

At least when you work in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, you can make a better reputation.

Shouldn't collecting taxes be the job of tax collectors?

Is this really a 'promotion'?

Xiaoxian and Xiaoxing also felt that they were not as promoted as they expected.

Only Feng Jiwen moved her brows unexpectedly.

"Chongwenmen Tax Supervisor?" she confirmed to Xiao Cha.

"Right...... That's the official name!" Xiao Cha nodded repeatedly.

"Mrs. knows about this official position?" Qin Yan looked at Feng Jiwen's face and asked, "How many grades of official is it?"

Feng Jiwen shook her head.

"There is no grade for customs supervision. ”

It is not directly under the jurisdiction of any of the six ministries, and there is a separate tax customs yamen, and there is no direct boss above the tax supervision.

But she heard her grandfather mention it before, saying that this position is mostly filled by Shangshu, Shilang or Minister of Internal Affairs, this position has been vacant for three years, and the affairs have been handled by the General Office of the Song School, Jin Jian intends to control this tax customs, and has recommended competent people to the emperor more than once, but for some reason, the emperor has not let go-

At that time, my grandfather talked about it with the mentality of watching Jin Jian's jokes, and she and Shu Zhi were both present, so they were very impressed.

It was also from that time that she learned that this Chongwenmen tariff was the first tariff yamen in the capital, although the customs supervision did not have a clear grade, but in addition to the big pass, there were also Lugou Bridge, Dongba and Haidian under the control. The thirteen gates inside and outside the Beijing Division also have their own tax bureaus, but the receipts are all sporadic and small, which is far from being comparable with Chongwenmen.

In other words, it's a money-saving margin.

It's still a big fat difference-

Could this be Heshen's greed...... No, the real beginning of the beginning?

Feng Jiwen's heart fluctuated.

Qin Yan laughed dumbly after hearing the words 'no grade'.

doesn't even have a grade, how can it be said to be a promotion?

This time, He Shen got this vacancy, and he really can't be promoted.

At most, it is a part-time job.

However, this 'part-time service' has caused a lot of discussion in the DPRK and China.

Most officials are confused about this.

Lord Jin has been staring at this piece of fat for a day or two, everyone has seen it, but the emperor has never let go, why did he finally let go, and this good thing suddenly fell on this He Shen?

How did this man come out?

There are those who have a better memory, and they can barely remember the case that He Shen handled a few months ago, and those who have a poor memory or don't care about it, have only one impression of He Shen - Yinglian's grandson-in-law.

Oh also, it's said that people are good-looking.

Didn't you get Feng Yinglian's recommendation?

Knowing that the tax superintendent of Chongwenmen would never appoint Han people, he couldn't reach out to him, so he helped the only Manchurian grandson-in-law up.

It's really scheming.

This is often the case with the style of painting that is discussed in private.

However, in the end, the Chongwenmen Tax Pass is different from the official position next to it, it is not controlled by any institution, it has always been directly appointed by the emperor, and there is no conflict of interest with them, the civil and military officials, so although it is surprising that He Shen can get this errand, it is only a few guesses and it is revealed.

But Jin Jian is different.

He is very different from those officials outside who abide by their duties and wait for death, he shoulders the heavy responsibility of gathering power for the eleventh elder brother, and always has to control the wind and grass in the middle of the court within the controllable range, Chongwenmen tax supervisor, he has always wanted to install a confidant and cronies, but the emperor's requirements for managing money have always been very high, and none of the people he recommended have been looked down upon.

That's it, just leave it alone, don't care about anyone.

But now I don't care about him, I give it to others, which makes people feel a bit panicked.

In addition, he ordered Li Huaizhi, the secretary of the household department, to show favor to He Shen, and He Shen did not respond at half, so he couldn't rest assured.

After thinking about it, Jin Jian held the mysterious sense of confidence that 'I have the most right to speak in the court anyway', and immediately united several officials, organized the rhetoric in advance, and wanted to go to the imperial study to face the saint to raise a euphemistic objection to this position.

It's just that he was intercepted by the people of Jingren Palace halfway.

Hearing that her sister was in a hurry to see her, Jin Jian had to go to Jingren Palace halfway.

"What happened when my brother entered the palace today?"

Hearing Concubine Jia ask, Jin Jian said her thoughts completely.

To his surprise, Concubine Jia not only disagreed with his behavior after hearing this, but also blamed him for acting too impulsively.

Jin Jian frowned puzzled, and said: "Chongwenmen is no better than other tax customs, and the annual tax revenue can reach hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, how can it fall into the hands of outsiders?"

"Brother is confused. Concubine Jia smiled inexplicably and asked, "Brother has recommended people to the emperor many times before, can the emperor be satisfied?" Now that the emperor has just appointed He Shen, you will bring people to question it, what will the emperor think in his heart?"

Jin Jian's back was cold when she heard this.

"The emperor is shrewd, everything has its own measure, what my brother has done over the years, the emperor may not be unaware. Concubine Jia looked at Jin Jian, and her words were reminded: "But brother, don't cross the line." ”

At least not yet.

Jin Jian's eyes looked thoughtful, and nodded: "What Niangniang reminded me is that it was the minister's carelessness." ”

Concubine Jia looked at him again and said, "I signaled to my brother before that this Heshen is a manufacturable material. Now it is vaguely going to be reused by the emperor, so no matter what method is used, we must win it over and use it for us-"

When he met her eyes, Jin Jian knew what to expect.

……

When it was getting dark, Liu Quan'er, who came back in the afternoon, ran home again.

This time, I also came back to deliver the word for my grandfather.

"The uncle asked the slave to come back and talk to his wife, and the young master of Baidu took the master to the champion building to eat and celebrate, and the second master was also there. The uncle explained to the servant, and the wife might as well rest for dinner earlier, so that she didn't have to stay up and wait for the master to come back. Liu Quan said with a grin.

He Shen was newly appointed as the tax supervisor of Chongwenmen today, which is indeed a happy event, and it is understandable for friends to go out to celebrate.

But—"Young Master Baidu's grounding order has been lifted?" Feng Jiwen asked Liu Quan.

How can you still go out to eat and drink?

"This minion doesn't know. Liu Quan said: "But the servant heard that Lord Yonggui went to the Tuanhe Palace in advance today to check, and he should not return to the city tonight." ”

Feng Jiwen suddenly realized.

It turned out to be unguarded.

"You remind the uncle, he will drive out of the city early tomorrow morning, don't eat too much wine, so as not to make a mistake at that time. Feng Jiwen confessed.

Liu Quan responded with a smile, and when he saw that Feng Jiwen had no other instructions, he retreated.

Qin Yan sent Xiaocha to the kitchen to spread the word and prepare dinner for his wife earlier.

"When does Mrs. plan to return to Yinglian Mansion tomorrow?" Qin Yan said: "The slaves and maids should tell the girls to prepare in advance. ”

"It's okay to stay at home, just go back with breakfast. ”

"Yes. ”

"Don't forget to ask people to go to Jingyun Nunnery tomorrow to pass a message to the concubine, just say that I will temporarily return to Yinglian Mansion to live in the next few days, if she has something to look for me, let Mama Yu go directly to Yinglian Mansion, don't come here again. Feng Jiwen instructed carefully.

Although under good circumstances, the chances of the concubine taking the initiative to find her are very few and almost negligible, but this does not prevent Feng Jiwen from treating her as an elder of the family, and she is used to reporting to her in everything.

Qin Yan smiled again.

"That's right. Feng Jiwen suddenly thought of something, and asked Qin Yan: "Today, the master went to Fu Heng's Mansion to thank you, can Fu Heng's Mansion accept the thank you gift he brought?"

He Shen went out to Fu Heng's Mansion and went directly to the Internal Affairs Mansion, and he didn't go home to tell her about the details of the matter.

She also forgot to ask Liu Quan.

"I didn't hear from the people in the front yard. Qin Yan said: "But if it is sent back, the housekeeper will inevitably report it to his wife-I think Fu Heng's Mansion will accept it." ”

Feng Jiwen nodded.

She was also worried that if He Shen went, she would be thrown out with gifts from Fukangan......

In terms of Fukangan's character, he really did this, and Feng Jiwen would not be surprised at all.

But I owe favors first, and I have to go on this trip.

At the moment, it seems that she is thinking too much.

At least there is at least one Mrs. Fu Heng in Fu Heng's Mansion, and Mrs. Fu Heng has always taken the overall situation into account, and she will not let Fukangan do ridiculous things that disgrace the dignity of the Mansion.

Just accept the gift.

I feel a little more at ease.

……

What Feng Jiwen didn't know was that the main reason why He Shen was politely sent out of the mansion by the servants in Fu Heng's mansion today was that Fukangan had just received the will of the eldest sister to be given the eleventh fortune today, and then followed the eunuch to enter the palace - he was summoned by Qianlong.

It was dark at this time before I was able to go home.

As soon as I returned to the house, I saw the thank you gift from He Shen, and without saying a word, I wanted to let my subordinates throw it out.

"Third Master...... I'm afraid that's not right, right?" Fu Ying hesitated.

Fukangan frowned his thick and heroic brow.

Something is wrong.

If he just threw it away, who would know if he took it and threw it away?

Can He Shen know?

Can Feng Jiwen know?

They still think he took it!

Isn't that the same as losing it?

Can't lose –

"Send it back. He changed his words with a displeased face: "Send them back directly." ”

"But Madame said, these things were all accepted by her on behalf of the third master, and you can't ...... return" Fuying looked embarrassed in the middle, and said with a forced smile: "Madame also said that the things sent by the family are all thoughtful, and the third master must like it, you might as well take a look first?"

Fukangan sneered when he heard this.

Spent a lot of thought?

"Take it apart. He instructed Fu Ying.

He wanted to see what Feng Jiwen could put into him.

Fu Ying did as he was told.

The thank-you gifts were all sent in sealed boxes.

The three brocade boxes are of different sizes, and the largest first long box contains a century-old ginseng plant-

Fukangan twisted his eyebrows.

He didn't expect that he would be so generous.

Although this kind of thing is not rare in his Fu Heng Mansion at all, it is obvious to all what the situation of the family is - these thank-you gifts, Feng Jiwen shouldn't have used her dowry book to buy them, right?

Some time ago, he often heard that she didn't know how to be thrifty, and He Shen also came to her, and the food at home, including ice and charcoal, was good, and the money was like running water.

is poor and white, how can she get so much silver for her to squander?

You don't have to think about it to know that it must have been a dowry.

Thinking of this, Fukangan felt ridiculous and angry.

Is her brain watering?

It's only been half a year since you got married, and you started to get married?

It's really a stupid woman who doesn't plan to keep it for herself at all.

He Shen is really not a good thing, and his mind is full of thoughts about the idea of beating her dowry - how could a man who is really promising do such an act of being poked and scolded in the back?

Over there, Fuying opened the other two boxes one after another.

Each contained a coiled horsewhip and a book.

What is this......

Fukangan frowned.

I have never seen anyone take a whip or a book as a thank-you gift.

He walked over and took a closer look.

But I accidentally found that the horse whip is a good snake bone whip, the whip tip is smooth and stretched, the whip handle is made of cow bone, the lacquer pattern is high-quality, Fukangan held it in his hand, heavy.

He is good at riding and shooting, and he knows more about horsewhips than ordinary people, and he knows that it is a rare good whip when he holds it in his hand.

And that book is not an ordinary book, but a copybook.

It is a rubbish of Huaisu's "Self-Narrative Post".

"Self-Narrative Post" was written by Huaisu in his later years, and is known as a masterpiece in cursive writing.

The gift of this rubbings was proposed by Feng Jiwen and contributed by He Shen from the collection.

It is true that the Hejia family has no money, but there are many rare and hard-to-find ancient books and paintings.

Maybe this is the real reason why the family has no money......

Fukangan's brows furrowed when he saw it.

How did she find out she was learning cursive?

Could it be that he wrote a cursive script in front of people at the Xiangshan Feng meeting before, and she wrote it down?

It's really as E-niang said, these gifts did take a lot of thought.

She's pretty good at being a good guy now.

He sneered inexplicably.

When he turned around, he dropped a sentence with a blank face: "Leave the thing-"

She didn't want to owe him, and he didn't want her to be remembered for this kindness.

Who knows if she will have any other thoughts about him if she thinks about him?

Now that she's a wife, he can't afford to take that risk anymore.

……

When He Shen returned, it was already late at night.

Feng Jiwen, who had just fallen asleep, was woken up by Xiaoxian softly.

"Madam, uncle is drunk, go and see ......"
