Kangxi, your Qing Dynasty is dead

Chapter 19 I have a compound in Beijing! (Seeking collection, asking for recommendation, asking for monthly pass, asking for follow-up)

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

The outer city is full of human fireworks, the streets are full of all kinds of business, people come and go from all walks of life, shoulder to shoulder, the sound of hawking and shouting is endless, there are countless opera gardens and brothels, it is very lively every day It's like a holiday.Bannermen and coaters all over Beijing enjoyed it.

But the inner city is deserted, there are not many pedestrians, cars and horses on the street, and there are no shops on the street. The good locations are all deep houses and courtyards, except for the gate of the courtyard, which is a high wall.Occasionally, you can see vendors pulling carts of goods or carrying loads into the city to sell. They sell oil, salt, rice meat, fruits and vegetables. There are also shaved pickers who don’t sell anything and charge money!

Apart from the imperial court, the emperor, and the Forbidden City, the inner city of Beijing is actually a boring sleeping city.However, when Wang Zhongxiao entered the inner city of Beijing from Chongwenmen, riding a red rabbit horse and carrying a Zhangliu spear, his mood immediately improved.

Because he suddenly realized that his greatest ideal in his previous life had already been, or was about to be, surpassed and surpassed in this life!
When he was a university student in Beijing in his last life, he had three major goals in life. One was to stay in Beijing. It was not to be a North drifter, but to obtain a household registration!The second is to test for public service in Beijing, whether it is for the people of the whole country or for the people of Beijing; the third is to buy a house in Beijing, not a house in my hometown.As a result, I was overworked, and I didn't finish a single one. It was such a failure.

But in this life, he has won at the starting line. He already has a Beijing household registration, and he is still in the inner city!

As for the public examination in Beijing, isn't that why he came back from Yunnan this time?And he must pass the public examination this time!He is a member of the Zhengbai Banner of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the division of the Han Army Banner, and Qiguzuo led the coated Han Army. He was born with an establishment, and he could receive a ration when he was breastfeeding. Fighting father is not afraid of anyone!

So he didn't have the option of "not winning" at all this time, it was nothing more than winning?Anyway, he must be able to enter the bureaucratic ranks of the Qing Dynasty. After catching Oboi, he will most likely become a high official. This is a feudal bureaucrat!Exciting just thinking about it!
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 Ring Road or the Sixth Ring Road, but inside the East Second Ring Road, inside the Chaoyang Gate, which seems to be the big house next to the CNOOC Building and the Beijing Telecom Building. Hutong, Bean Sprouts Alley, Douzui Alley, Doushu Alley, in short, they all have something to do with beans.

As for how big is this big room?A standard three-entry courtyard, with five fronts and two ears in the north, three east and west wing rooms plus one side wing room, seven inverted rooms beside the south gate, and a small yard and a row of courtyards behind the main room. The back room is surrounded by two courtyards, one large and one small, covering an area of ​​almost an acre!
This house is going to be in the 21s, and it's not too expensive to get one hundred million!
But in the Kangxi year of the Qing Dynasty, it was not always possible to buy silver.Because this house is a super fan of Wang Fuchen, the "big brother on the list" Emperor Shunzhi rewarded the Wang family.Otherwise, relying on Wang Fuchen's first-class bodyguard back then, he could be allocated a second-level courtyard.

In addition, the Emperor Shunzhi was still in the northwest of Beijing, next to the Haidian Spoon Garden under the jurisdiction of Wanping County, and gave Wang Fuchen [-] mu of land. I checked the map and found that that area will become part of Tsinghua University in the future. This is a prime location in Haidian District!

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

So the courtyard house in Bean Sprouts Hutong is now Wang Zhongxiao's property, yes, it is now!Anyway, Wang Fuchen would not live in the inner city of Beijing.This old guy has eight concubines, and a three-entry courtyard house can't fit in him.

Unknowingly, Wang Zhongxiao, the filial son who was thinking about his father's real estate, had turned into the long and thin Bean Sprout Alley with Master Yu who was leading the way.This bean sprouts alley is located on the edge of the Zhengbaiqi site in the inner city of Beijing, very close to the tall and majestic east wall of the inner city of Beijing.The whole hutong is very long, starting from Hejiakou in the north and reaching Chaoyangmennei Street in the south. The hutong is divided into three parts: North Bean Sprouts Alley, Middle Bean Sprouts Alley and Bean Sprouts Alley. There are so many bean sprouts!

And Wang Zhongxiao's house is located in Bean Sprouts Hutong, not far from Chaoyangmennei Street. In the future, if Wang Zhongxiao gains the trust of Emperor Xiaomazi and becomes a "big minister", he will go to work from the courtyard in Bean Sprouts Hutong to the Forbidden City. It's not far away, it's only four or five miles away on foot, which is really convenient!

Just as he was thinking about when he could go out and walk to work in the Forbidden City, and by the way helped the little emperor catch a Manchurian No. [-] Batulu to earn credit points, someone suddenly shouted in his ear: "Isn't this Wang Datou? Wang Datou, you But you're back. Half a month ago, I heard Steward Li say that you were coming back, and I finally saw you today. Datou Wang, why are you ignoring me? I'm a little bun!"

When Wang Zhongxiao was still wondering who Wang Datou was, Master Yu, who was leading the way, had already restrained a short-footed horse under his crotch, and then turned to Wang Zhongxiao: "Second son, the little bun called you Woolen cloth!"

Ah, I'm Datou Wang?Wang Zhongxiao thought about it carefully, and it seemed to be true. "Big Head Wang" was his nickname when he was a little overlord in the Bean Sprouts Alley.He was quite big when he was eleven or twelve years old, and of course he had a big head, and he looked very smart, so his friends called him Datou Wang.

Not to mention, the nickname of "Big Head" and the brand name of "Shikai" are quite good.

Thinking of this, Wang Zhongxiao also pulled the rein lightly, stopped the red rabbit horse, then turned over and jumped, and fell from the horse's back to the ground.As soon as he stood firmly, a handsome young man who was about a "big head" shorter than him threw himself into his arms!

Now Wang Zhongxiao can't be punished anymore, he has been a "handsome pot" in his life, and he has met many women who throw himself into his arms, but this man is not good. Is there something wrong with being handsome!
When he was troubled by his Yushu Linfeng, the big boy in his arms who called himself "Little Baozi" had already pushed him away, and he was still muttering: "Big head, what have you been eating these past few years? How did you grow so big? The first hug has become a waist hug, and you are a generation shorter for no reason, and I will never hug you again!"

Ah, it turned out to be a greeting.

At this time, Wang Zhongxiao had already remembered that this kid was not interested in him, but was doing a "meeting and hugging gift" that is popular among banner people. It is a bit of a Western "face-to-face ceremony" and "kissing ceremony". The meaning of "hugging waist ceremony" is also a kind of "hugging ceremony", it is just that the younger generation hits a thousand children, and then hugs the elder's waist.

However, Wang Zhongxiao has been in Yunnan for five or six years, and cuddling and cuddling is not popular among men and men there, so he has almost forgotten these banner people's rituals.

At this time, he also remembered who is this "little bun" in front of him?The little bun's surname was Zhang, and his name was Zhang Xiaobao. Like Wang Zhongxiao, he belonged to the Zhengbai Banner-coated Han army, and he also lived in the Bean Sprouts Alley.He and Wang Zhongxiao are alley children who "played since childhood".In Wang Zhongxiao's somewhat vague memory, he used to take a group of small packs in the bean sprouts alley to fight with the small bannermen in the next alley, winning every battle and becoming a well-known bully!

After getting into too many troubles, Wang Fuchen asked Master Yu to take him to the Yunnan Army to teach him. But it seems that he didn't teach well!The bad habit of fighting has not changed, but he has picked up the bad habit of molesting girls from good families again.

Thinking of this, Wang Zhongxiao finally looked at this childhood playmate who happened to meet at the mouth of Bean Sprouts Hutong with a smile. He was indeed a pretty big boy. If it was a girl, he might be able to be a noble concubine in the palace.In addition, this kid is also well-dressed, covered in fine silk and satin all over his body, with a well-made melon skin hat on his head, a lot of "little bits and pieces" tied to his belt, and a folding fan. He was 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 not bad after returning from school, or returning from playing truant, he looks like a motivated boy from the Eight Banners!
"Ah, you are such a little bun," Wang Zhongxiao half-jokingly said to the big boy, "Why are you so young? Is it because your Ama is not willing to give you good food?"

"What? My Ama is not willing to give it to me?" Zhang Xiaobao laughed loudly when he heard this, "Boss, have you forgotten what my Ama does?"

"You are, Amma."

Hearing Wang Zhongxiao's question, this Zhang Xiaobao looked terrified, "My ama, Zhang Zhongqing, is now the deputy head of the imperial dining room and the head of the dim sum bureau, young master, do I still need to spend money on eating and drinking?"

"Deputy head of the imperial dining room? Director of the Dim Sum Bureau? Your Ama has been promoted? You are still fat, so congratulations!"

Wang Zhongxiao now remembered that this Zhang Xiaobao's Ama, Zhang Zhongqing, was originally a Han citizen outside the customs, and was captured by Manchurian soldiers as a coat aha since he was a child, but he didn't have the ability of Fan Wencheng, let alone take it out. Serve Dodo's wife.So I have been struggling at the bottom. When I sent troops to fight, I either pushed shield carts or worked as cooks. I didn’t get any official position until the Qing Dingding Central Plains. It was because I often worked as a cook and was caught by the Ming army. The chef here understands the craft of making steamed stuffed buns, and even agrees that Dorgon eats them well--the buns are really good, and if you are hungry, one is worth two!
So later when the Qing court moved to Beijing and established the Imperial Dining Room, Dorgon sent him in to make steamed buns for Aunt Bu to eat. Unexpectedly, Zhang Zhongqing did not make his mark in the world, but later made steamed stuffed buns.

The deputy head of the imperial dining room is a fifth-rank official, and he is also the seat of the Dim Sum Bureau!
This position, this privilege, will not be exchanged even for a prefect!
When Zhang Xiaobao heard Wang Zhongxiao congratulate himself, he smiled and said to Wang Zhongxiao: "Boss, the people who are in charge of the white flag in the Ministry of Internal Affairs have been doing well in recent years. Not only my Ama has been promoted, but Guo Jinbao's father, who is a disaster, has also been promoted. , Now the shotguns of the seventh grade are grown. But the luckiest person is the little Caozi who has been following us as a follower at that time. Let go of Jiangning weaving! By the way, I heard from my sister that this little Caozi’s mother-in-law has a good relationship with your Ama, and they both worked as coats in Azig’s mansion. Ama is afraid that he won't be promoted to admiral?"

What?Wang Fuchen has a good relationship with Kangxi's nanny?Wang Xiaozhong was surprised, and that little Cao Zi who played with his backside since childhood was actually Cao Yin?
That's not right, Wang Fuchen's old man who didn't learn well and Kangxi couldn't be a compatriot, right?Why didn't he know how to take this ready-made path?I really don't know how to make progress!No, I must have a relationship with Cao Xueqin and his grandfather!
Thinking of this, Wang Zhongxiao said to Zhang Xiaobao: "Little Baozi, I'll be the host tomorrow night, where should you, Jin Bao and Cao Yin go?"

Zhang Xiaobao laughed loudly and said, "Where is the right place to go? 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, "Even if it's a dragon's lake or a tiger's den, I dare to break into it!"

"it is good!"
