Zhang Bao rearranged all the documents for the affairs of the Beijing Banner Huitun, arranged them according to the first month of the year, and then made some small labels, and also numbered them with the combination of Tiangan and Earth branches and Chinese numbers, and then compiled another index booklet, divided into several categories according to location, and there were several subcategories such as population, livestock, farm tools, and seeds below, and made an index of the titles of all documents. If you want to check any documents, you just need to check them by number, and you don't have to check them in the document library for half a day as usual.

This method has been unanimously praised by colleagues and has greatly improved work efficiency. Fengtianfu Yin heard about it, and he also came to see it in person, and he was full of praise. Zhang Bao was very comfortable for a few days. Two days later, there was a rumor that Lord Yin was checking Zhang Bao's resume, feeling that he had been diligent for many years, and planned to transfer him to the government to become an official subordinate official.

That's good news. In the past, Zhang Bao was the assistant director of the household department to return to the tun affairs of the Jingqi, and he had no formal "name" after working in the yamen for several years, and his grade was neither up nor down, and he was in an embarrassing situation, but if he was officially transferred to the Fengtian Mansion, he would have the hope of promotion, even if he changed from the status of a "Beijing official" to a foreign official, he was stronger than before. The whole family is excited and waiting for the exact news to arrive.

Sure enough, more than a month later, the transfer of the officials came down, and Zhang Bao was promoted to the middle of Fengtianfu, specializing in the management of documents and archives. On the night Zhang Bao received his appointment, he couldn't help but shed tears in front of his wife. After working hard in the position of the sixth grade for several years, he was finally promoted to the fifth grade. Fengtianfu is directly under the jurisdiction of Jingzhong, and Fu Yin's backer is very large, and he will be an official under his subordinates, and within a few years, he will be able to come out, and he no longer has to look at the face of the family.

There was also a letter from the Earl's Mansion in Jingli, and at the same time, he also asked Zhang Bao if he had climbed into a big shot, asking him to say more good things for the family, don't forget to give the family more benefits, and don't forget the family's strength for his promotion. Zhang Bao sneered, put the letter aside, and went directly to his new post. Tong's husband replied, only saying that everything is fine at home, Zhang Bao has won the blue eyes of his boss because of his diligence over the years, and he will inevitably tremble in his position in the future.

Not to mention what Jingli would think when he received the letter, Zhang Bao was indeed trembling when he arrived at his new position. Although I rearranged the documents in the government according to my own method, I felt that this indexing method was still inconvenient, and sometimes I encountered documents that only remembered the general content, or I had to compare documents that told the same thing in different periods, and the index book was a little insufficient.

He thought hard for a few days, before he thought that he could make another kind of index, classified by events, and then he still felt that it was not enough, and made another one sorted by time, it took several months to complete before and after, and tried it for a few days, and it was really convenient, so he happily wrote the manuscript of the paperwork, and he was in a good mood and his thoughts were smooth. Zhang Bao has a smile on his face all day long, and he is also kind and pleasant when he talks to his colleagues, and even helps others do things, but his popularity is so good that everything goes well.

Zhang Bao simply felt that life was too beautiful, and all these turnarounds came from his daughter's good methods. He already loves his daughter, and now he regards it as a pearl in the palm of his hand, and often buys some small gifts for her, which makes his wife Tong also a little tasteful, and complains to him at night, he laughs, and also adds a few pieces of jewelry to her, and then buys a new study for his son.

Shuning took advantage of his pleasure and offered to read more books, and he agreed without saying a word. In addition to the books at home, he sometimes buys new books to take home. A few of his colleagues were from scholarly backgrounds and had a lot of books at home, so he asked them to borrow books. When Shuning saw something she liked, she would copy a copy, practice calligraphy, and get a book. Not only poetry and songs, but also hundreds of schools, folk customs, agricultural and industrial acrobatics, and medical books and travelogues, she read as much as possible to expand her horizons.

This year, when the Chongyang Festival was approaching, Zhang Bao and his wife discussed it, and decided to hold a banquet with the four families of the Cheng family of the Zhou Mansion, the Qin Tongzhi family, and a Suchun Azuo of Su Ri Xiang to entertain the Fu Yin, General Sheng Jing and a group of colleagues in the city. Each family came out of the group, and the banquet was placed in a garden called "Qiushuizhuang" rented in the west of the city. This garden is built according to the pattern of the Jiangnan garden, it is a special village in the palace of Prince Xian, often rented to others to play, but it is very close to the racecourse in the west of the city, if there are guests who like it, you can also go to the racecourse to soar.

The feast is scheduled for the eighth day of the ninth month. On this day, the autumn is crisp and cloudless, and the weather is really good.

Tong Shi ordered Lao Wu to put on the car early and prepare to take Duanning Shuning to the car together. But Duan Ning was unwilling, he had been learning to ride a horse for a few years, and he felt that he could ride a horse alone, and he felt that a man would lose face if he rode like a woman, so he refused to get on the car for anything.

When Tong heard his words, he was really angry and funny: "How old are you?" Losing face by car? Master Cheng is riding a horse in the horse training ground, looking at you, I don't care, but there are many people and cars on the street, and it's not fun to bump into it, so don't mess around. Duan Ning had a temper attack, but he refused: "No, most of the people who went today are my classmates and friends, they all went on horseback, let them see me and my sister riding in the car together, and I don't know how to laugh at me behind my back, I don't want to!" After that, he simply sat on the steps in front of the court and did not leave.

Tong had no choice but to persuade him: "Be obedient, take a car with E-Niang's sister, E-Niang let her lead the horse, and when you get there, I will let you go to the horse farm with your friends to ride a horse, okay?" Although Duan Ning was a little moved, he still refused.

Zhang Bao was about to go out, and when he saw him like this, he smiled: "That's it, let him go, boys riding horses are also a common thing, just let people take care of it, since ancient times, there have been many defeats in loving mothers, you don't spoil him too much, let him have more experience." Tong listened and had to reluctantly agree. Duan Ning jumped up happily and rushed straight to the stable, frightening the Tong clan to be careful. Zhang Bao laughed, and went out to the mansion to meet Zhou Fucheng first, and greeted his boss through Qiushuizhuang first.

After half an hour, I was ready to go out. Shuning followed Tong into the carriage, Duanning rode a horse and followed alongside, and Changgui followed behind. Tong told his son to only follow in front of and behind the carriage, and he was not allowed to let go, and Duan Ning reluctantly agreed.

When the group came to the street, Shuning looked out through the car window, and it was really lively outside, there were many carriages and pedestrians, and when they passed through the street in the middle of the city, there was even a traffic jam. Several carriages were crowded in the aisle, but the street was so narrow that all the cars could not pass together, but several car owners refused to give in and quarreled, so that the cars behind could only stop. Someone tried to squeeze past him on a horse, but he ran into a pedestrian on the side of the road, and the man grabbed the reins and refused to let him go, and it became a mess for a while.

Tong listened to Changgui's report, and hurriedly asked him to find the city guards patrolling nearby to maintain order, and then told Duan Ning not to leave the side of the carriage. After a while, the city guards arrived, and scolded and coaxed the cars to pass in turn, and the street was clear again.

When the carriage of Shuning and his entourage arrived at Qiushuizhuang, many carriages and horses had been parked outside the door. Changfu, who was sent early in the morning, received the letter and hurriedly welcomed the carriage into the second gate. The Tong family got out of the carriage, and he reported that the female dependents of the Zhou family and the Qin family had arrived, and only the Su Zuoling family had not yet come. Tong nodded, took his children through the corridor, and followed Changfu to the flower hall.

Shuning followed behind, looking at the Jiangnan garden in the northern land as she walked. I saw the carved beams and painted buildings everywhere, the carving work is fine and soft, the small bridge and flowing water in the garden are somehow Jiangnan meaning, but the amount of water in the pond is not much, there is no lotus flower, the lotus leaves are also a little withered yellow, the fish in the pond only hide in the depths of the water, lazily moving. There are twenty or thirty willow trees planted by the water, the branches are a little green, and there are a few clumps of golden chrysanthemums planted next to them, which are blooming brilliantly. There are a lot of flowers and plants in the garden, but there are not many species, and most of them are northern flower species, which are very well maintained.

Entering the flower hall, there was a glass carved screen, and around the screen, several women greeted me and greeted them with a smile. The Tong family saluted, and pulled Duanning Shuning to ask them to meet the aunts. When Shuning saw the oldest woman in front of her, who had a round face and a little fat body, and knew that it was Zhou Fucheng's wife, she saluted first, and then visited the other ladies. Then the ladies brought out their children and asked them to greet each other, and then they sat down and served tea and talked.

Duan Ning followed a few old and new friends to play in the park, and Shuning sat down with a few young ladies to talk. Zhou Fucheng's young lady is eight or nine years old, her name is Yinlan, and she is an elegant and generous little girl. Shuning and her have met twice, and they are very close to each other. The two young ladies of the Qin family, the eldest is twelve years old, cowardly and timid, and does not like to talk; The youngest one was only eight years old, and she just sat and answered the call, looking like a wooden doll.

Zhou Yinlan took Shuning's hand and said softly: "I haven't seen my sister for more than four months since I returned to my sister's house as a guest, how are you doing lately?" ”

Shuning replied with a smile: "I'm fine, how is my sister?" ”

"Very good, since my sister told me not to stay in the room all the time, I should walk around the yard more, I walk for two quarters of an hour every day, although a little tired, but now my health is much better, I can eat a big bowl of rice at every meal, and I haven't asked a doctor for half a year. My mom and dad were very happy. ”

"That's for the best. Since this method has worked, my sister will continue, her health is getting better and better, and she will not need to take medicine in the future. ”

"Cheng sister Ji Yan. Last time you saw my purse embroidered with butterflies and dragonflies, didn't you like it very much? I made one for you, so take it as a thank you. Zhou Yinlan took out a delicate purse and stuffed it into Shuning's hand.
