The sticky pole is a private statement in the flag, and the official name of this place is Shangyu Standby.

The official positions here are the Minister of Management, the first-class guard, the second-class guard, the third-class guard, and the Blue Feather guard. The management minister is the second rank, the first-class guard is the third rank, and the lowest-level Blue Feather guard is the sixth rank.

The errand runners below Lan Ling's guards are called officials according to the old saying, that is, errand personnel without grade. But this errand officer who has no grade is also divided into two levels of pen stickers.

The pen paste type is equivalent to the book office of each yamen, which is responsible for translation and transcription of official documents, which belongs to the "pen stick". Many Manchu officials are in the pen paste style as the step to enter the body, and there is no shortage of people in the three dynasties of Kang Yongqian who are promoted to the court members in the pen paste style.

Although there are also pen stickers on the side of the Han Army Banner, most of them have no promotion prospects, and they can mix six or seven grades in the rooms and places under the Yamen of the Banner Capital.

For example, Zhao Guodong, who instructed the father and son of the Jia family, was originally a pen paste in the Metropolitan Yamen Rice Bureau, and later asked someone to be promoted.

Compared with the "pen" clerical job of the pen sticker, Bai Tang'a is one level lower, and he is purely an errand runner. Don't say that the guards above, the pen paste style that doesn't flow can make him move.

That is to say, although He Shen was transferred from the sedan chair of Luan Yiwei to the sticky pole on duty, he was actually no different from the doorman and the security guard at the sticky pole.

Gao Delu didn't know the inside story, thinking that He Shen was becoming a guard when he entered the sticky pole, so he shouted with the guards one by one.

However, He Shen is actually very satisfied with this errand.

How could a child of the Manchurian Eight Banners, who was a hereditary third-class lieutenant of light car, be willing to be an errand runner?

The reason is that being an errand runner at the sticky pole is closer to the emperor than being a palanquin driver in Luan Yiwei.

And all along, the person on duty at the sticky pole must be from Shangsanqi, even if the pen paste type and Baitang A have to be the children of Shangsanqi.

Ying Lian tried his best to get He Shen, the grandson-in-law of the Five Banners, into the sticky pole, not really wanting his grandson-in-law to run errands for others, but this place is not only the closest to the emperor, but also a good place to rise step by step.

According to the rules at the sticky pole, the vacancy of the first-class guard must be made up from the second-class guard, and the lowest Lanling guard is also picked up from the pen sticker, and the pen paste is picked up by Bai Tang'a. So as long as He Shen can endure his temperament and calm down, sooner or later he will be able to become Lan Ling's guard.

The bachelor who has died of illness, Fu Heng, who is most favored by the emperor, ascended to the sky from Lan Ling's guards back then.

For his grandson-in-law, who can enter the sticky pole under the Five Flags, Yinglian doesn't know how many favors he used behind his back, and how many favors he approved.

It's just that no matter what happens in the future, after all, the current He Shen is just running errands at the sticky pole, although he has seen the emperor, he has never had a chance to talk to the emperor at all, how do you want him to help the Jia family?

For a while, the hall was a little cold.

Seeing this, Gao Delu knew that it would be difficult for him to deal with him, so he said: "And the guards, I also know that this matter is not easy to do, and I can't find anyone who can help except you..."

"I don't say that beforehand,"

Before Gao Delu finished speaking, He Shen interrupted him with a smile, and then turned around and asked Liu Quan: "Madame, have you been here?" ”

Liu Quan hurriedly said that he patronized and talked to the guests, and he didn't bother to inform his wife.

"Then why don't you go and ask Madame to come over? Is Brother Qing an outsider! He Shen's face was obviously displeased, and he was unhappy that Liu Quan had neglected his benefactor's son.

"Hey, I'm going to ask Madame to come over!"

Liu Quan didn't dare to delay, and hurried to the backyard to ask his wife.

"The subordinate is not sensible, but he is called Brother Qing, and my uncle is smiling!"

"Whereever, we've just arrived."

“......”

The twenty-three-year-old He Shen's treatment of people really impressed Jia Liu, even if people said that he couldn't help the Jia family today, his father Daquan and his second brother-in-law Gao Delu, including himself, would definitely not say half a sentence about people and Shen. Compared with the cousin who didn't even let him in, he loved Xinjue Luo color trace map, and he deserved to be able to fly Huang Tengda.

When Liu Quan arrived in the backyard, He Shen's wife Feng Jiwen was embroidering with the maid, and when she heard Liu Quan talk about it, Feng Jiwen suddenly asked with some curiosity: "Quan'er, who is here?" ”

When she first got married, according to the rules, she called Liu Quan as a housekeeper, but her husband and Shen thought that there were no other servants in the family except for the two dowry girls brought by his wife, so it was not appropriate to call Liu Quan a housekeeper, so he asked his wife to call Liu Quan "Quan'er".

This title has no meaning, it shows that in Heshen's heart, Liu Quan is not an outsider, but a family member.

As for Liu Quan, who is in his thirties, is called "Quan'er" by his twenty-year-old wife, it is normal.

After all, no matter how young the master is, he is also the master; No matter how big a minion is, he is also a villain.

"It's the second son of the old man's family who helped our family before..."

After Liu Quan said the identity of the visitor, Feng Jiwen nodded and said, "Since I am the son of my husband and benefactor, I am not a foreigner, I want to meet him." ”

After speaking, he put down the female red in his hand and went straight to the front hall with Liu Quan.

The female dependents of the banner people are not as particular as the Han people, and they can't meet unless they are good at the family. Many of the big and small things in the family are arranged by the aunts and grandmothers.

"Husband!"

After Feng Jiwen arrived in the front hall, she first saluted her husband and Shen, and then looked at the guests with a smile.

He Shen was busy introducing on the side, and when he was about to ask his wife to salute Jia Daquan, an elder, Jia Daquan hurriedly pulled his son Jia Liu to get up, and without saying a word, he slapped Feng Jiwen with a thousand smiles: "Kowtow, please Gege's An, I wish Gege a long and peaceful life!" ”

The juniors of the flag people want to ask the elders for three days, and a dozen thousand for five days. Please be a small courtesy, and please meet between the generations on weekdays.

It stands to reason that Jia Daquan is not Heshen's junior, and his son-in-law Gao Delu is an equal friend of Heshen, so there is no need to make this big gift to Heshen's wife.

However, Feng Jiwen is not only the wife of He Shen, but also the granddaughter of Yingshangshu, an important minister of the imperial court, and the noble daughter of the banner people.

Even with Jia Liu, he had to follow to greet Qian.

"But I can't help it, how can there be a reason for the elders to ask the juniors to say goodbye,"

Feng Jiwen, as the granddaughter of Shangshu, must be knowledgeable, how dare she accept the gift of her husband's friend and father-in-law, so she turned sideways and avoided it.

He Shen saw it in his eyes, nodded slightly, his wife was really virtuous and virtuous, stepped forward and said a few words with a smile, blurring the matter of this etiquette, and then invited the Jia family and the grandfather to sit down. Seeing that the tea in the tea bowl was afraid that it was cold, he personally poured it for the two of them.

The demeanor is completely devoid of the arrogance of the children of the Manchurian Banner, and it is difficult for people not to get close.

After meeting the guests, Feng Jiwen, the hostess, withdrew on the pretext of preparing more delicious snacks, so that her husband and the guests could continue to talk about business.

Although she has been married to He Shen for almost two years, she has never been pregnant, so she still looks as slender as when she was a girl. The appearance has never changed at all, like a girl, with everyone's beautiful temperament between the eyebrows and eyes, with a bit of cuteness between the cheeks and the jaw, and He Shen, a handsome man, is really a match made in heaven, envying Jia Liu.

When Feng Jiwen turned around and went out, Jia Liu even took the opportunity of serving tea in his hand to glance at the back of the buttocks, and then "grunted" a sip of tea, his throat moving slightly.

"Why are you so unruly?"

The son will drink tea when he drinks tea, and he made a loud noise, which immediately made Jia Daquan, who had secretly farted just now, dissatisfied.

Jia Liumo silently put down the tea bowl 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 a biography of the second minister, and I also heard about it in the palace... Alas, how can I say it, as far as those with two surnames are not the fault of their ministers, they are also the fault of their kings. ”

He Shen means those subordinate ministers appointed by the emperor, and it is not their fault, but the fault of the monarch they once served allegiance.

Gao Delu's knowledge was limited, and he didn't understand what he meant for a while, but his brother-in-law Jia Liu next to him said: "What he said to the guards is too right!" The fact that my old lady was condemned as a second minister is wronged, the so-called tiger is out of the sheng, and the turtle jade is destroyed in the coffin, which is the fault? ”

After waiting for a long time, he finally asked Jia Liu to find the most suitable insertion point.
