The inner city and the outer city of old Beijing under the rule of the Qing Dynasty were almost two worlds.

The outer city is full of fireworks in the world, the streets are full of all kinds of buying and selling, coming and going are all three religions and nine streams, shoulder to shoulder, the sound of selling and shouting is endless, and there are countless opera gardens and Qinglou Chu Pavilion, every day is so lively as a festival. The flag-bearers and coaters in Beijing are all enjoying themselves.

The inner city is deserted, there are not many pedestrians and cars on the street, there are no shops on the street, and the good areas are all deep mansion compounds, except for the high walls of the courtyard. Occasionally, you can see vendors pulling carts of goods or carrying burdens into the city to sell, selling oil, salt, rice, meat, fruits and vegetables...... There are also shaved picks who don't sell anything and collect money!

This inner city of Beijing, in addition to the imperial court, the emperor, and the Forbidden City, is actually a boring sleeping city. However, when Wang Zhongxiao rode a red rabbit horse, carried six guns on his back, and swaggered from Chongwenmen into the inner city of Beijing, this mood suddenly improved.

Because he suddenly realized that his greatest ideal in his previous life had been, or was about to be exceeded, in this life!

When he was studying in Beijing in his last life, he had three major goals in life, one was to stay in Beijing...... It's not about being a North Drifter, but about getting a hukou! the second is to take the public examination in Beijing, to serve the people of the whole country or the people of Beijing; The third is to buy a house...... The house in Beijing is not the house in the hometown. As a result, when it came to the accumulation of hard work, I didn't finish one, which was really a failure.

And in this life, he won at the starting line, and he already had a Beijing hukou, and he returned to the inner city!

As for taking the public examination in Beijing, isn't this what he rushed back from Yunnan this time? And he must pass the public exam this time! He is the white flag of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Han army flag, and the Han army, and he is born with a structure, and he can receive a ration when he is breastfeeding, and his father is still the chief military officer of the second grade, and he is not afraid of anyone!

So he didn't have the option of "not hitting" at all this time, it was nothing more than hitting? Anyway, he will definitely be able to enter the ranks of the Qing bureaucracy, and when he finishes worshipping, he will most likely be a big official...... This is a feudal bureaucracy! It's exciting to think about!

But what surprised him the most was that he had a house in Beijing! It is not a one-bedroom or two-bedroom apartment outside the Fifth and Sixth Ring Roads, but a big house in the East Second Ring Road, inside Chaoyangmen, which seems to be the CNOOC Building and Beijing Telecom Building...... What is that piece now called Douban Hutong, Bean Sprouts Hutong, Douzui Hutong, and Douxu Hutong, in short, they are all dried with beans.

As for how big is this big house? A standard three-entry large quadrangle, the north room is five is two ears, the east and west wings are three rooms plus one chamber room, there are seven inverted seat rooms on the south side of the gate, there is a small courtyard and a row of back cover rooms behind the main house, which is surrounded by two courtyards, one large and one small, covering an area of almost one acre!

This house is going to be shelved in the twenties of the twenty-first century, and it is not expensive to get 100 million!

And in the Kangxi year of the Qing Dynasty, there may not be enough silver to buy. Because this house is a super fan of Wang Fuchen, the "big brother on the list" Emperor Shunzhi rewarded the Wang family. Otherwise, with Wang Fuchen's first-class guards back then, Dingtian would be able to get a two-entry quadrangle.

In addition, Emperor Shunzhi also gave Wang Fuchen 300 acres of land in the northwest of Beijing, next to the Haidian Spoon Garden under the jurisdiction of Wanping County, and Wang Fuchen also built a Zhuangzi there, saying that he would retire there in the future - Wang Zhongxiao had already checked the map and found that that it would become part of Tsinghua University in the future, which is a prime location in Haidian District!

Wang Fuchen's "capricious father" also said that when he dies, the house in Beijing will be passed on to Wang Zhongxiao, and the Zhuangzi in Haidian will be inherited by Wang Jizhen.

Therefore, the courtyard of Bean Sprouts Hutong is now Wang Zhongxiao's industry...... Yes, now it is! Anyway, Wang Fuchen will not live in the inner city of Beijing. This old guy has an eight-room aunt wife, and a three-entry courtyard house can't live in.

Wang Zhongxiao, the filial son who was thinking about his father's real estate, unknowingly, had already followed Master Yu, who was leading the way, into the long and thin bean sprouts alley. This bean sprouts alley is located on the edge of the Zhengbaiqi site in Beijing's inner city, close to the eastern city wall of the tall and majestic Beijing inner city. The whole alley is very long, starting from Hejiakou in the north, reaching Chaoyangmen Inner Street in the south, and the alley is divided into three parts: North Bean Sprouts Hutong, Middle Bean Sprouts Hutong and Bean Sprouts Hutong...... That's a lot of bean sprouts!

And Wang Zhongxiao's house is located in the bean sprouts alley, not far from the Chaoyangmen inner street, if Wang Zhongxiao won the trust of the little pockmark emperor in the future, as a "great minister", from the bean sprouts alley courtyard to the Forbidden City to work is not far away, walk four or five miles to arrive, it is really convenient!

I was thinking about when I could go out and walk to work in the Forbidden City, and when I was helping the little emperor catch a Manchurian No. 1 Baturu to brush up some credits, someone suddenly shouted in my ear: "Isn't this Wang Datou?" Wang Datou, you're back. Half a month ago, I heard Steward Li say that you were coming back, and now I finally see you...... Wang Datou, why do you ignore me? I'm a little bun! ”

When Wang Zhongxiao was still wondering who was Wang Datou, Master Yu, who was leading the way in front, had already "called" a short-legged horse in his crotch, and then turned back to Wang Zhongxiao and said, "Second son, the little bun is calling you!" ”

Ah, I'm Wang Datou? Wang Zhongxiao thought about it carefully, it seems that it is true, "Wang Datou" is the nickname he used when he was a child when he was a little bully in the bean sprouts alley. When he was eleven or twelve years old, he had already grown quite big, of course his head was big, and he looked very smart, so his friends called him Wang Datou.

Not to mention, the nickname of this "big head" and the name of "Shikai" still match quite well.

Thinking of this, Wang Zhongxiao also gently pulled the reins, stopped the red rabbit foal, and then turned over and jumped, and fell from the horse to the ground. As soon as he stood firm, a young man with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, who was about a "big head" shorter, threw himself into his arms!

Wang Zhongxiao can't be rectified now, he is a "handsome pot" in his life, and he has met a lot of women who throw himself into his arms, but how can this man ...... Is there something wrong with being handsome!

When he was bothered by his Yushu Linfeng, the big boy in his arms, who called himself "Little Bun", had already pushed it away, and muttered, "Big head, what have you eaten in the past few years?" How do you grow so big? Hugging ceremonies have become waist hugging ceremonies, this is a generation shorter for no reason, I won't hug you again in the future! ”

Ah, it turned out to be a hug ceremony.

Wang Zhongxiao had already remembered at this time that this kid was not taking a fancy to himself, but was doing a kind of "hug and greeting ceremony" that was popular among the flag people...... It is a bit of a Western "veneer ceremony" and "kissing ceremony", and the "waist hugging ceremony" is also a kind of "hugging ceremony", which is just a thousand children for the younger generation, and then hugging the waist of the elders.

However, Wang Zhongxiao has been in Yunnan for five or six years, and there are no people who are happy to hug each other, so he is about to forget these flag man rituals.

At this time, he also remembered who this "little bun" in front of him was? This little bun's surname is Zhang, his name is Zhang Xiaobao, and like Wang Zhongxiao, he is a white flag and a Han army, and he also lives in the bean sprouts alley. and Wang Zhongxiao are both Hutong children who "play from childhood to childhood". In Wang Zhongxiao's somewhat vague memory, he often took a group of small coats in the bean sprouts alley to fight with the little flag people in the alleys next door, and won every battle, becoming a well-known little bully!

Later, he caused too much trouble, so Wang Fuchen asked Master Yu to take him to teach in front of the Yunnan army...... But it doesn't seem to be taught well! The problem of fighting has not changed, and I have contracted the vice of molesting a girl from a good family again.

Thinking of this, Wang Zhongxiao finally smiled and looked at this childhood friend who met by chance at the mouth of Bean Sprouts Hutong, he was indeed a very handsome big boy, if it was a woman, he might be able to mix with a concubine if he was sent to the palace. In addition, this kid is also dressed very decently, with fine silk and satin all over his body, and a well-made melon skin hat on his head, and a lot of "bits and pieces" tied to his belt, and a folding fan inserted, followed by two house slaves, one carrying a birdcage for him, and the other holding an embroidered blue cloth schoolbag for him. It seems that this little bun is either returning from school or skipping school...... Yes, it's a bit of a motivated appearance of the children of the Eight Banners!

"Ah, you are really a little bun," Wang Zhongxiao said to the big boy half-jokingly, "why are you so young?" Is it because you Ama is reluctant to give you good food? ”

"What? I'm reluctant to give it to me? Zhang Xiaobao laughed when he heard this, "Big head, have you forgotten what I'm Ama for?" ”

"You're ...... Amma"

Hearing Wang Zhongxiao's question, this Zhang Xiaobao looked stunned, "I, Ama Zhang Zhongqing, am now the deputy head of the imperial dining room and the director of the dim sum bureau...... Master, I still need to spend money to eat and drink? ”

"The deputy head of the imperial dining room? Dim sum bureau director? Have you been promoted? It's still fat, congratulations! ”

Wang Zhongxiao remembered it now, this Zhang Xiaobao's Ama Zhang Zhongqing was originally a Han people outside the Guan, and he was captured by the Manchurian soldiers as a Baoyi Aha since he was a child, but he didn't have Fan Wencheng's ability, let alone a wife who could serve Duoduo. So I have been struggling at the bottom, when I sent troops to fight, I either pushed the shield cart or was a man, and I didn't get a half-official position until the Central Plains of Dingding in the Qing Dynasty, but because I often worked as a man, I followed a cook who was caught from the Ming army to understand the craft of making steamed buns, and even Dolgon said that it was good to eat it - the bag is real, and the hunger is a top two!

So later, when the Qing court moved to Beijing and set up the imperial dining room, Dolgon sent him in to make steamed buns for Aunt Bu to eat...... I didn't expect this Zhang Zhongqing to fight the world without getting ahead, but later Bao Baozi got ahead.

Deputy Director of the Imperial Dining Room...... But he is a five-grade official, and he is also the seat of the Dim Sum Bureau!

This status, this oil and water, even if you give it to a prefect, you won't change it!

Zhang Xiaobao heard Wang Zhongxiao congratulate him, so he smiled and said to Wang Zhongxiao: "Big head, in the past few years, the people of our Internal Affairs Office who are in the White Flag have mixed well, not only my Ama has been promoted, but Guo Jinbao's scourge father has also been promoted, and now they are all seven-grade shotguns." But the luckiest thing is Xiao Caozi, who has been following our ass as a fart at that time, he is amazing! became the nurse of the little emperor, and he Ama followed the light and let Jiangning weave! By the way, I heard my sister say that this little Caozi's Eniang has a good relationship with you Amma, and they both worked as coaters in the Azig Mansion...... If this road is going to work, you're still afraid that you won't be able to be promoted to admiral? ”

What? Wang Fuchen and Kangxi's nurse have a good relationship? Wang Xiaozhong was surprised, and that ....... The little Cao Zi who played with the back of his ass when he was a child was actually Cao Yin?

That's not right, Wang Fuchen's old thing who doesn't learn well and Kangxi won't be the same mother, right? Why doesn't he know how to take this ready-made way? I really don't know how to be motivated! No, I must have a relationship with Cao Xueqin and his grandfather!

Thinking of this, Wang Zhongxiao said to Zhang Xiaobao: "Little Baozi, I will be the east tomorrow night, and you, Jinbao and Cao Yin have to come...... Where is the right place? ”

Zhang Xiaobao laughed and said, "Where is the right place?" Of course, it's the Imperial Dining Room! ”

"What Imperial Dining Room?" Wang Zhongxiao was stunned.

"Big head, do you dare to go?"

"Why don't you dare?" Wang Zhongxiao glared, "It's the Longtan Tiger's Den, I dare to break through!" ”

"Good!"
