Unparalleled Fortune in Qing Dynasty

Chapter 41 Promotion
Tong Cheng'er slept soundly.

After waking up the next day, she routinely went to Shu Mulu's place to ask An to solve the problem of breakfast.

On weekdays, she has nothing to tell Shu Mulu. When Shu Mulu saw her, he habitually gave her a "teaching" with petting. What Shu Mulu said was too natural. That matter was forgotten again.

After returning to her yard, Tong Cheng'er realized that she had forgotten to say it just now.

She patted her head annoyed, and then muttered in a low voice: "Look at my brain, it's been too long since I haven't used it, it's all rusted."

Ru Lan: "Ge Ge, what did you say?"

Tong Cheng'er shook her head: "It's nothing." It's a big deal to talk about it later, she really didn't take it seriously.

Arhatu came back from court, and then said to Shu Mulu, "Today, Lord Long Live suddenly promoted me to an official position, and now my husband is the minister of the Ministry of Industry."

Shu Mulu: "Minister of Industry?"

The news is really sudden: "Didn't the Lord say not long ago that there is not much hope?"

Alhatu said with a smile: "I really didn't have much hope at first. After all, the Ministry of Industry and I are both Yuanwailang. Some have more seniority than me, and some have stronger backgrounds than me, so I thought I would not go to the event this time. I thought that the other lord servant was a bit old, and when he became a scholar, the possibility would be more likely. Besides, the main reason was that I didn't want to get involved with Suo'etu and Lord Mingzhu. I didn't think about it, Long Live Suddenly ordered, I became the servant of the Ministry of Industry."

The benefits of getting it, although I don't know why, but I can't let it go!

It's not that he is unworthy of virtue, since Lord Long Live is willing to give it, then he will accept it.

Shu Mulu was also happy: "Congratulations to the concubine."

Alhatu smiled and took Shu Mulu's hand, and the two had a deep affection for a while.

At noon, the Shu Mulu family set up a table with good food and began to celebrate Alhatu's promotion.

Tong Cheng'er also got the news, and then wondered: "Ama was promoted, why is it so sudden?"

Although she is lazy, she is not stupid. Not long ago, she heard Er Niang muttering that the prince and elder brother did not do good things, and the factional disputes made Ah Ma, a neutral bitter haha.

How come there is no shadow suddenly!
"The slave doesn't know either, why don't you go and ask Master Fujin."

Tong Cheng'er shook her head: "Forget it."

She doesn't have that kind of political mind, so what to ask, anyway, promotion is a good thing.

"By the way, remind me when I'm having lunch, don't forget to tell Ama Erniang about meeting the Lord Long Live yesterday."

Rulan and Ruxue thought she had said it when she greeted her in the morning, but who knew she forgot.

"Don't worry, Ge Ge, the slave will definitely remind you, and you won't forget it again."

Speaking of which, Ruxue and Rulan are really convinced by Tong Cheng'er's memory, obviously either they can't remember it, or they just don't want to waste their brains.

At noon, the family gathered together to celebrate Alhatu's promotion.

After dinner, after the brothers left, Tong Cheng'er said to Alhatu and Shu Mulu, "Ama Erniang, my daughter has something to say."

Alhatu smiled and said, "What's the matter, tell me."

Tong Cheng'er: "Didn't Sister Huiyu invite her daughter to the Moon Tower for a small gathering yesterday? The Lord Long Live took the prince and the fourth elder brother to the private room next to her daughter. My daughter said something and was heard, and then was summoned by the Lord Long Live Yes, the confused Long Live Lord praised his daughter a few words, and also praised Ama for teaching his children, and then let me go back."

Alhatu looked surprised, and then his mind was full of doubts: "Why are you talking about what happened yesterday?" Shouldn't you just talk about it when you come back?What exactly is this child thinking? I can bear it until now when I meet Long Live God.

Tong Cheng'er felt a little guilty: "Daughter forgot."

Mrs. Shu Mulu couldn't stand Arhatu's attitude, so he said, "It's not a big deal, just forget it if you forget it, don't you remember it now! Why are you so fierce."

Alhatu felt aggrieved, he was not violent, he was just expressing his doubts, but when he saw Fujin and his daughter: "It's Ama's fault, just forget it!"

Tong Cheng'er laughed: "Ama is the best."

Alhatu remembered the important point, and asked, "By the way, what did you say that Long Live Lord heard?"

Tong Cheng'er thought about it, and roughly repeated what she did yesterday, and then Alhatu's eyes on Tong Cheng'er began to change.

Alhatu sighed: "If Cheng'er is a man, he will definitely do something in the court in the future. Your words should be recognized by the Long Live Lord. Mongolia is a heart disease of the Long Live Lord. If it is true that Mongolia can be completely subdued in one fell swoop, then surely Geer will not be successful, and the Qing Dynasty will be stable, no wonder Long Live Lord gave me a promotion, it seems that I have been blessed by my daughter."

Alhatu sighed and couldn't help laughing. After all, it's really rare to be able to get promoted because of his daughter, so it's worth being happy.

As for his daughter's talk about the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Alhatu didn't take it too seriously. Speaking of which, the Ministry of Internal Affairs is equivalent to the butler's office of the palace, responsible for all expenses of the nobles in the palace.

None of the Tong family thought that Tong Cheng'er would have the chance to keep a badge and enter the palace, and it really had nothing to do with the Ministry of Internal Affairs, so he was very relieved.

Shu Mulu didn't agree with this statement: "Master, what you said is wrong. What is Cheng'er? If Cheng'er is a man, those boys in our family are not as caring as Cheng'er. Please don't say such nonsense."

In Shu Mulu's mind, a son is not as good as a daughter, so perhaps the rarest thing is the most precious thing!If there are more sons, it is worthless.

Tong Cheng'er is not easy to look forward to as her daughter.

Furthermore, Shu Mulu doesn't think that her daughter is inferior to her son. In her eyes, a daughter is good at everything.

At this moment, Mrs. Shu Mulu has obviously selectively ignored her daughter's lazy temperament.

Alhatu listened to Fujin's praise of his daughter, thought what he said just now, it seemed that something was inappropriate, and hurriedly said: "I was wrong, Cheng'er is just right, just right."

Tong Cheng'er came out of Shu Mulu's yard in a daze, she didn't seem to have done anything, how could it be her who deserved the credit for Ama's promotion!
According to Ama's words, it should be that Kangxi intends to rectify Mongolia, and he thinks what she said makes sense.

She thought back on what she had said, and found that she didn't want to think about it anymore. The good thing was that Ama got it, and she wasn't affected, which was pretty good.

Then she started to continue her life as a salted fish.

Tong Cheng'er went back and played with Bai Bai again.

Bai Bai seems to have grown up a bit, but she is still very cute, especially the soft, pink and tender meat pads, don't feel too good, Tong Cheng'er is too addicted to that kind of touch.

Baibai has now replaced the Huaben's position in her heart and has become a favorite.

Tong Cheng'er lives a salty and comfortable life, but Kangxi is the opposite.

Kangxi really listened to Tong Cheng'er's words, and the first thing he did when he came back was to send someone to investigate the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

According to the rules, the prince's elder brother can only officially enter the court after the wedding, but Yinzhen is a bit unexpected, so Kangxi directly made a special case to let the third elder brother and Yinzhen enter the court to exercise before the wedding , after all, age is enough.

Kangxi thought that the Ministry of Internal Affairs was mainly concerned with the affairs of the royal family, so he handed over the investigation of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to his two sons.

The third elder brother felt a headache when he received this errand, the Ministry of Internal Affairs!Is that easy to check?
As for Yinzhen, although I don't think it's easy to check, but I think that if the Ministry of Internal Affairs does not check, the royal people will suffer in the end. As a member of the royal family, and I have been an emperor in my dream, I feel deeply about this, so I have a deep understanding of the internal affairs. The government pays more attention to this matter.

Then Yinzhen started to investigate, and the third elder brother wanted to do nothing, but Yinzhen was so serious, he really didn't contribute at all.

However, it is inevitable to be perfunctory in doing things.

Kangxi still paid more attention to the matter of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, so he secretly sent someone to observe the performance of the two sons, and then couldn't help frowning at the behavior of the third elder brother.

Although he could think of the idea that the third elder brother didn't want to offend the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but he, a prince, was afraid of even the Ministry of Internal Affairs to investigate, how could he bear the heavy responsibility, which made Kangxi a little disappointed with this son.

After all, the Ministry of Internal Affairs is the royal housekeeping mechanism, responsible for the daily life of the nobles living in the Forbidden City, and does not pay attention to things related to their own quality of life. The evaluation of the third elder brother in Kangxi's heart instantly dropped a lot.
