Kangxi, your Qing Dynasty is dead

Chapter 68 Pharmacist Guo, Jinbao Guo

After accompanying Fuquan, Li Sixing, and Guanyinbao to eat and drink on Yingtai Island, Wang Zhongxiao asked Yu Wang Fuquan, the Minister of Management of the sticky pole, in the name of going home to "read the letter behind closed doors". Take a few days off.

That afternoon, Wang Zhongxiao went to King Yu's Mansion to get a large package of letters and manuscripts copied from Aobai's Mansion, and returned to his new home in Tofu Lane.As soon as he entered the door, he heard Mr. Yu and Li Fuhan chatting and laughing loudly, so he stopped Wang Quan who came to help him lead the horse and asked, "Is there a guest at home? Who is it?"

"Reporting to Second Young Master, it was Guo, the pharmacist from the Internal Gunpowder Department, who brought his son Jinbao to propose marriage to Chunni."

"Really?" Wang Zhongxiao said with a smile, "Did my father agree?"

Of course he himself was quite in favor of this marriage, although Guo Jinbao was not very good-looking, and there was no steamed stuffed bun Zhang at home, and Cao was rich in weaving.But the ancestral craftsmanship is good!Several generations of people in the family have been making gunpowder and firearms, and they will be used in the Qing Dynasty in the future!
In addition, Baozi's daughter is going to be Wang Zhongxiao's stepmother, this Xiaobao will be the next generation, and Li Chunni will be the younger generation, how can she get married when she is a different generation?

As for Cao Yinna, who is the baby brother of the little emperor, it was fine if he had no job at first, but now he has become a bodyguard, and he is also the imperial bodyguard!Chunni seems a little out of reach.

Moreover, Wang Zhongxiao also knows that Kangxi's trust in Cao Yin is obviously higher than that in his own father and son. If Cao Yin marries Chunni, then Kangxi's trust in him may decline, and there will be no channel for inquiring about Kangxi's movements. up.

So on balance, Guo Jinbao is indeed the most suitable candidate.

As for that girl Chunni, she seemed to have some vague meanings towards Jinbao, Xiaobao, and Cao Yin, and she seemed to be a bit picky.

But Wang Zhongxiao is not easy to decide this matter, after all, Wang Fuchen is the head of the family, and it is impossible for him to let Kangxi marry Guo Jinbao and Li Chunni, so he asked Wang Quandao: "Is my father back?"

"No," Wang Quan replied, "Master just sent someone to say that he has something to do in the yamen today, so he might not come back."

"What's the matter? Won't you come back?" Wang Zhongxiao said heartily: This also includes the night shift?This father also knows to work hard now?Since he won't come back, can I be the master of Jin Bao and Chun Ni's marriage?I don't care about him, just promise to come down first!

Thinking of this, Wang Zhongxiao stepped into the hanging flower gate, then smiled and said to a dark-skinned man in his forties who was chatting with Yu Deshui in the hall, "Uncle Medicine Master, what gust of wind blows you?" Come? By the way, has Jin Bao's reward come down yet?"

Gunpowder Guo Mingdequan, but because of good gunpowder, he is honored as "pharmacist". Guo Pharmacist!It's amazing to hear the name!
Guo Dequan replied with a smile: "Thanks to you, I just went to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to complete the formalities yesterday, and was promoted to be a sixth-rank official! This official is older than me, and he is considered promising! So today I will bring Let him propose marriage to Chunni!"

Standing next to Guo Dequan, Guo Jinbao's face was pale, his simple and honest black face was about to burst into laughter, and he said to Li Fuhan with a smile: "Uncle Li, I'm already a sixth grade, and there are Big Brother and King Yu who will be promoted. I, I will definitely be a high official in the future, and if I marry Chunni, Chunni will definitely not suffer along with me, and I will honor you two together with Chunni."

"That's right, that's right! Jinbao will definitely be a high-ranking official in the future! I believe that he has the ability!" Wang Zhongxiao quickly helped his good brother to speak, "Uncle Li, this is really a rare good friend!"

"Yes, yes." Li Fuhan said yes again and again. He was not sure whether Wang Zhongxiao's words represented Wang Fuchen. If it was, then Chunni could only marry a dark and fat one. "In the house, you What do you think?"

Li Fuhan was not sure, so he had to ask his wife.

Mrs. Li Zhang looked at Guo Jinbao. It didn't mean that the mother-in-law looked at her son-in-law and liked it more and more.

Wang Zhongxiao also noticed it, so he pulled Li Fuhan and Li Zhang out of the hall, and said in a low voice: "Uncle, Auntie, I know that Jin Bao is not good-looking, and his father who prepares gunpowder is no better than Baozi Zhang, Weaving Cao. But you have to believe my father and me, Jin Bao's future prospects will definitely surpass Xiao Baozi and Xiao Yinzi. Because this world, it's time for chaos but not chaos again!

Now Oboi is in exile, King Pingxi is sharpening his sword, and the third prince Zhu from all over the place is one after another, suspicious of the central lord!Think about it, if chaos breaks out in the future, will playing with gunpowder have a better future, or making steamed buns and weaving cloth?Jinbao will hang out with me and my father in the future, maybe he can play a master.Making buns and weaving can't reach this level! "

Now the Eight Banners in Beijing have "learned it well", and more and more people are playing around with cages and birds. There are really not many who are still working hard like Guo Jinbao, Zhang Xiaobao, and Cao Yin.In particular, Guo Jinbao still has ancestral crafts - gunpowder Guo's gunpowder is the first in Beijing, otherwise he would not be the "director" of the gunpowder department in the Armed Forces Academy!

His family’s gunpowder preparation skills are said to have been learned from the Haoao “pharmacist” who came to Beijing to “pay tribute” during the Chongzhen Dynasty. All white.

This skill is passed on from son to daughter!All of Beijing is now meeting Guo Dequan and Guo Jinbao!
If the world is peaceful, the skill of dispensing gunpowder will not be of much use.But once the war comes again, the Gunpowder Guo family is afraid that they will not be able to get a hereditary title with this unique ability?

"Really?" Li Fuhan looked back at his wife, "In the room, I also think Jin Bao is pretty good. Xiao Baozi is not a generation behind Chun Ni now, and Brother Yin's family is a bit higher. Chun Ni used to be not good. Appropriate!"

"This..." Mrs. Li Zhang was already a little shaken, but she was still hesitating because she was afraid that her daughter would not be happy.

Wang Zhongxiao said again: "Uncle, Aunt, the auspicious officials are about to be sealed, and the general manager of the seventh rank. It happens to be the right family, and the right family is a good marriage!"

In the past two days, Wang Fuchen, Wang Zhongxiao and the others have been promoted and made a fortune together!
It turned out that Wang Fuchen was promoted to Minister of the Interior, Admiral of the Nine Gates and Commander of the Third Battalion of Patrols, Wang Zhongxiao was promoted to the first-class guard and head of the stick, and Master Yu was promoted to the Zhili alternate county of the seventh rank.And "Xian, Yi, Ren, An, Quan", the five adopted sons or domestic servants of the royal family who participated in the hunt for Oboi like Master Yu, were all given to the sixth-rank and second-rank Mr. Yingqian or Mr. Wei Qian. They are alternates, but there are nine admirals and sticky poles, which are in the hands of Wang's father and son, and it will be a matter of time before they fill up the vacancies.

In addition, Cao Yin, Zhang Xiaobao, and Guo Jinbao also benefited.Cao Yin is now a third-class bodyguard. Although he is only "third-class", he is walking in front of the imperial court. It is the legendary guard with a sword in front of the imperial court. He is more confidant than Wang Zhongxiao's Da Nei walking!

Zhang Xiaobao, like Guo Jinbao, both rewarded the six-rank writers.

This postman sounds like an inconspicuous document, but in fact it is a direct train for bannermen to get promoted.Not only are there many positions, but you can also work from a ninth-rank writer to a fifth-rank master. Promotion is easy and fast, and only the eight-banners and coaters can do it. It is called "the road of eight banners". .As for Zhang Xiaobao and Guo Jinbao, they are now directly sixth-rank Bitie scholars. With a little effort, they can be regarded as officials of Bitieshi to "clear the customs". Isn't it easy to release a magistrate or a Taoist priest?

So when it comes to the future in the officialdom, Guo Jinbao's writing skills are much higher than Li Jixiang's!It's just that Li Jixiang also has Wang Fuchen, the internal minister, as his uncle, so Li Chunni and Guo Jinbao are considered to be well-matched.

After Wang Zhongxiao finished talking about the "gateway", he began to talk about the auspicious future, "And Jixiang will be a military officer, and he will definitely go to the battlefield in the future! If Jinbao and Gunpowder Guo can teach him to be a bit of a cannon shooter If you are capable, you won’t have to charge forward in the future, you can do meritorious service by hiding behind and firing cannons, how great it is!”

Now Mrs. Li and Zhang finally nodded. No matter how good Chunni is, she is a married daughter, and Jixiang is the heart of the couple.

Seeing his aunt nodding his head, Wang Zhongxiao heaved a sigh of relief, and then found that neither his father nor Li Jixiang showed up.

"By the way? Where are my father and Jixiang? It's almost dinner time, why haven't they come back yet?"

Li Fuhan said with a smile: "Shi Kai, your father is a new official, and he is busy! He didn't come back last night, so he must be busy all night again today."

"Oh." Wang Zhongxiao nodded, and said to himself: Where are you busy?Weaving Cao's House or Dingnan Gege House?It shouldn't be Mingfu, right?
