The Red Mansion's Dress to Become the King of Beijing

It is said that the surname of the mother's family of the deity is Hong, which is a large family in Liaodong, and its status is somewhat similar to that of the Tong family in the late Ming Dynasty.After the first generation of Beijing King no longer supervised the army in the northwest, but was ordered to guard Shanhaiguan, he formed a deep friendship with the Hong family.

In the past hundred years, the Hong family of the Shui family has married almost countless times, and the relationship has become deeper and deeper. The two families say that "one prospers, both prospers and the other loses both".

According to the memory of the deity, the stepmother, the "unique" uncle in the mother clan, was selected as a scholar at the age of 16, and then...seemingly suffered a slight injury and was completely let go. Now in his thirties, he has developed a dandy habit, but after so many years, he is quite There is a bottom line, basically only to cheat money, not to cheat people.

Moreover, every time this cheap uncle comes to ask for money for food, drink and entertainment, the stepmother will quietly send it away with her own body, so the deity has always turned a blind eye.

This time the cheap uncle came to Beijing, got money from his own sister, and went out to meet friends as usual...to spend time and wine.

When the concubine said this, she deliberately paused, feeling guilty and angry at the same time, her expression was very complicated, "Recently when I came back from drinking, my brother lay down on the bed, and the next day he didn't remember anything. Once Twice, he didn't think about it, and on the third time he finally realized that something was wrong. He...has always loved to enjoy himself, and he has a good capacity for alcohol.

In fact, Shui Rong, the cheap uncle, was so heartbroken that he drank unconsciously many times, but he was completely "fragmented" and even woke up without the memory of the previous night. This kind of thing is common in the capital. It happened more than once... His back was instantly soaked.He washed up casually, didn't even eat breakfast, and ran to report to his sister.

Shui Rong said bluntly: "But you seem to have been hiding it from me for a few days, right?" It's human nature to be partial to her natal brother and want to cover it up for him.His cheap stepmother has never caused trouble or been a monster, she has no bad intentions for him or her two concubine brothers, and she cooperates perfectly in everything... For the sake of his stepmother, Shui Rong consciously knocking this sentence is enough.

Concubine Toffee lowered her head, "At first I thought, let people find out the news first."

This made the news from the inquires not so optimistic... Shui Rong asked, "Where's Uncle?"

The concubine said: "I live in the Zhuangzi where I marry as a dowry."

How many poor relatives are there in the emperor's family? Who can escape the custom?

When he was still living in the twentieth century, Shui Rong's background was quite good, and he had a few top-notch relatives.It's just that he is lucky enough not to have to deal with it himself, so his experience in dealing with the ultimate is very...not rich.

However, as a county king who wants power, people and people, and money, the brother who really wants to clean up his stepmother just needs to give orders. .

The distance between the stepmother's dowry Zhuangzi and Xiangshan Biezhuang is quite far away, and the Biezhuang is full of confidantes of the prince's mansion, and access control is strictly controlled. Don't gossiping with the cheap uncle, it may be even more difficult to say hello to the steward.

In the eyes of outsiders, the cement in Biezhuang is just a thing for burning bricks and paving roads, which is nothing unusual; as for the "modified" secret passage of the big tomb in Biezhuang, only the confidantes of the Wangfu are qualified to know. The two key technologies are obviously not in danger of being leaked.

Only corn, sweet potatoes and potatoes were harvested, so it was still a little troublesome for the cheap uncle to go out bald.

Concubine Toffee was also worried about this, so she took advantage of her good day to tell the truth.

Back in the study, Shui Rong asked Mei Fei to invite his Chief Historian and a group of aides to come over - the aides of the Royal Palace are equivalent to a staff officer plus a secretary, and the Chief Historian is the Chief of Staff or the Secretary-General.

Shui Rong is very different from Jia Zheng. He has a lot of staff, and only three or five of his followers are chosen by himself. All of them are quite eye-catching, and the main task is indeed to show him. Similar to later generations, Shui Rong also has a dedicated There is more than one life secretary who handles private affairs for him.

It can be said that Shui Rong can't be called squeezing employees, but it's really not easy to get along with him. To make him more popular, you need strength and a little bit of luck.

These days, except for the secretaries and confidential secretaries who help him with his daily business affairs, the rest of the staff are working with the Chief Historian to sort out the natural science textbooks he has compiled, or saved.

Seeing that it was going to bedtime, under the dim light of oil lamps and butter candles, the dark circles under the eyes were still unmissable, Shui Rong suddenly felt guilty: After the double confirmation of the deity and him, the level of the palace staff is quite good, but Sorting out the textbooks he produced still made these talented scholars look haggard... Fortunately, they did not make a collective appearance at the banquet today, otherwise it would inevitably lead to many bad associations.

So Shui Rong didn't wait for the report from the chief historian, and was thinking: Tomorrow, I will send a big red envelope to the staff members of the "Textbook Compilation Committee".After the textbooks are compiled and printed, he will pass the review and give a red envelope, plus a half-month long vacation!

The Chief Historian took the lead to report the results of their "working group" working overtime: the prince ordered them to sort out the textbooks, and naturally they also had the heart of the school examination.

This is the hardest part!

Most of the royal family's staff came from humble backgrounds, and being able to read and write for them when they were young was already tightening their belts. How could there be more room for them to buy some idle books?

Yes, most of the natural science books are classified as idle books, such as the great book "Qi Min Yao Shu" on agriculture, and "Shui Jing Zhu" on geography...

Fortunately, the staff responsible for compiling and collating the textbooks are relatively young, mostly between 40 and [-] years old. The chief historian said: Although reading the book, I saw that my head was as big as a bucket and my eyes were blurry, but I finally insisted on finishing it.

Water Rong believes the chief historian's words. After all, the task has been assigned for four full months. If his aides use it for enlightenment, the most difficult natural science textbooks that do not exceed the sixth grade will not be able to understand...Shui Rong told the little icon However, if this level cannot be maintained, he will only be a low-end copier in the palace for the rest of his life.

Because it involves the future education plan of the palace, the selected staff members, including the chief historian, have already put their ugly words in front of the "big project" before they get involved: as long as you participate, no matter whether you succeed or not, you will be successful in this life. I can't leave the palace anymore.

At that time, the chief historian and his staff sent a swearing-in meeting to show their loyalty.

Now, as part of the reward for his hard work, Shui Rong finds time for his staff to start a small business again. After thinking about it, the popular science night school for the important employees of the palace is absolutely urgent.

Regrettably, Shui Rong has worked hard to select talents, but it seems that besides himself, Feng Ziying's third uncle Lu Qishu and Sui Yuan, who is still burning ashes and mud, are the only candidates for the night school teacher.

When thinking about the promotion of natural science education, Shui Rong’s thoughts are always far away: if his younger siblings and Baoyu and Daiyu can graduate early, he can help him, not to mention substituting for a class, he can prepare lesson plans or teach students when he is very busy. Answering questions is fine.

He had to talk to Lu Qishu, Feng Ziying's third uncle...

After paying attention to the progress of the preparation of the Wangfu textbooks, Shui Rong returned to the topic, and today I will arrange for his cheap uncle.

Shui Rong's "Life Secretary" is also surnamed Wang, named Wang Songhe, and his seat is only below the chief historian, and he has no relationship with Wang Dong, the chief steward of the palace.

The Wang secretary's name is Songhe. Obviously, he was in poor health when he was young. His parents named him Songhe in the hope that he would live a long life.Secretary Wang is in his early thirties, thin and refined, with intense eyes, and every strand of hair is combed meticulously... Looking at him, Shui Rong always feels that he only needs a pair of gold-rimmed glasses...

Returning to the topic, this man who was questioned by Shui Rong immediately admitted his mistake honestly. Of course, he would not excuse the concubine when facing the big boss.

"Since the spring of this year, my uncle has not been accompanied by our people. Originally, there was also one. You happened to be short of manpower at that time, my lord. When the concubine heard about it, she mentioned her to you and sent someone to follow my uncle."

Shui Rong thought for a while, the King of Beijing Jing at the beginning of spring was not him, but the deity.

He then ordered: "Forget it, just invite uncle to come over and have a chat, and let someone else be by his side." After a pause, he said bluntly again, "At any rate, I still know how to measure, this time I will take care of him. .But since I got into trouble, I will send him back to Zhuangzi to farm.”

Wang Songhe breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this: Even the prince's confidant, the celebrity in front of him, would not want to interrogate the prince's uncle or the concubine's own brother, even if the uncle was separated by at least two or three floors.

The Chief Historian and Wang Songhe have always been on good terms, and seeing that the prince does not blame him, he also... couldn't help but give him an "An Xin" wink.

Wang Songhe received it steadily, and nodded slightly.Ever since the lord stopped keeping a low profile and came up with "Emperor's Assets" one after another, his spirit has become more and more tense.

In fact, since my uncle was still in the suburbs of Beijing, he knew who he met and who he kept in touch with.But even if he looked at the "casual" uncle and master, he didn't say anything in the end, at least the prince didn't ask him, and he didn't come forward to inform - the prince and the concubine didn't say that the mother-child relationship was deep, but they were tolerant to the mother clan. Everyone in the royal palace saw it.

This time... the prince really did not pursue his "negligence", but the prince was obviously not happy, obviously he didn't think he did the right thing.

Seeing this, Shui Rong said with a smile, "It's because I didn't explain it clearly. Our mansion will become more and more unsafe in the future, and there is always nothing wrong with being careful." Then he looked at Wang Songhe, "Remember, remember."

Wang Songhe was immediately shocked.

Shui Rong feels that as a big boss, he is always inferior with harsh words and threats.As it is now, a gentle reminder is also very effective.

As an old man in the palace, Wang Songhe is a little disappointed in what he did. Next time, it will be this kind of "intentional negligence", and he will have to forcefully transfer him to other jobs, such as copying documents in the reception room and using it as a photocopier—who told him to turn it on? The favorability level shows that the staff in the room all have big green dots on their foreheads?If he makes a mistake for the first time, let him be merciful once.

However, in the eyes of the rest of the staff present, if Wang Songhe commits another crime, even if it is because of his old feelings, he will not lose his head, and I am afraid that he will be... useless.

After listening to the report, and beating what should be beaten, Shui Rong let the staff go back.

The staff came out in a file, and the study was quiet again, and Shui Rongren leaned on the rocking chair and closed his eyes for a while.It was late at night, and the meeting was getting more and more energetic. I originally wanted to hold it tomorrow morning... Shui Rong suddenly opened his eyes and greeted, "Big companion."

Mei Fei happened to be dressed in blue today, and she "floated" over like blue smoke.

Shui Rong took the delicious health-soothing tea from Mei Fei, and said softly, "It's still too short for us to start." As a superior, it's the most taboo to be ambiguous when issuing orders, "The future is all done, and the Wu family's heart is also getting worse. When it gets bigger, there will be chaos in the Northwest sooner or later, and we may stay in Beijing for a few more years. We should first figure out what's going on at our doorstep, and then pay more attention in Jiangnan and Northwest. "

Mei Fei bent down, and solemnly replied, "Obey."

Shui Rong said again: "Now you are in charge of our spies from all over the country, don't forget to find some people as soon as possible. For the internal affairs of the mansion, you need to find someone to take over your team." After finishing speaking, he put away the bottomless teacup On the coffee table at hand.

Shui Rong looked at Mei Fei carefully, and found that the eunuch who was busy building secret agents for the palace these days also had dark circles under his eyes that couldn't be covered by a pair of fans, so he quickly comforted him, "Give me a result after the next year, remember Don't work too hard. Our days are long."

Mei Fei smiled and agreed again.

It is said that although the concubine is in the hands of the imperial concubine, she can only manage the expenses and employment of the inner house, part of the palace property, and of course the concubine's own dowry.

But here in Shui Rong, regardless of internal and external affairs, whether the concubine has intentions or not, she dares not and cannot touch her hands.

In fact, the real inner housekeeper of the palace was originally Mei Fei, and the outer housekeeper was Wang Dong.Concubine Toffee has always been shrewd and measured, and she is not short of orders. Whenever Mei Fei or Wang Dong is needed, she will inform Shui Rong to herself, instead of bypassing her stepson and ordering Mei Fei and Wang Dong directly. .

However, it is precisely because the concubine has always been measured, and she is deeply trusted by the old Beijing King, the deity, and Shui Rong, so once she thinks of covering up for her brother, she will directly shake Shui Rong's confidant Wang Songhe. All of a sudden, there is a case of unreporting.

As a loner in the standard sense, Shui Rong can only complain to Xiao Biao, "In the end, Concubine Toffee felt that something was wrong, so she told me honestly, and then I realized that my 'Life Secretary' is indeed quite capable, and my idea ...It's also quite correct."

The reason why Shui Rong said that was because he was holding a "report" in his hand——Wang Songhe just sent it.

The report is clear: it records the list of all the "husbands and dogs" that Uncle Cheap has met after he came to Beijing, not only that, but even some of Uncle Cheap's letters and money contacts.

"This kind of report is definitely not something that Wang Songhe can come up with in half an hour when he returns to his study after being criticized. Besides," Shui Rong laughed, "This report... is still a damn thing Ge Ti... I actually don't feel offended, he has a green brain, so there is no need to doubt his loyalty, but it doesn't mean he won't do bad things with good intentions."

Little Icon also has something to say, "You humans are really complicated. I think Wang Songhe is a very gentle and patient person. He wants to avoid offending...is it human nature?"

"Forget it." Shui Rong answered very simply, "As a life secretary, I have to deal with a lot of trivial things. Patience is a must, and at the same time it requires skill. My predecessor not only asked him to be in charge of my cousins ​​asking for help, but even my hometown. All the dealings with the non-clan elders over there are also handed over to him. I think they have done a good job, so we will follow the 'old practice'."

As the saying goes, if you are poor, no one cares about you in the busy city, and if you are rich, you have distant relatives in the deep mountains. Even if the Beijing Palace is no longer simple in the emperor's heart, and its momentum seems to be not as good as before, there is still no shortage of distant relatives who want to make connections and make friends.

No need to think about it, how could Shui Rong deal with these trivial matters by himself.

And Shui Rong is still the eldest son, how could he not know it well, "I've been here for almost a year, and I haven't really handled the clan affairs...Wang Songhe is indeed a talent, so this time I let it go gently."

The little icon sighed in a very humane way, "If you want a talent that suits you, you have to ~tune~ teach it yourself, don't always think that one will fall from the sky."

Shui Rong stared at the small icon that flickered in his vision, "You are simply a genius." There was a golden light in front of his eyes... He immediately closed his eyes, pinched the center of his brows, "Calm down, I'm going blind..."

So Wang Songhe, who had hardly slept all night, packed up his things early in the morning, before he could turn his head around, followed the prince's servant, and "settled" in the outer room of the prince's study.

The prince was outside the study room, and separated him into a warm pavilion: it's not big, but at least there are all the cabinets, tables and chairs.He paid his respects to the prince, sat behind his new book desk, began to reply to the post, and began to write... all trembling slightly - he and the prince are separated by a moon gate!

After Shui Rong finished his daily routine, it was almost noon. He had time to pay attention to Wang Songhe: This life secretary obviously had a morning of self-psychological construction, and he seemed to have returned to his soul.

In the afternoon, Wang Songhe obviously wanted to let go or let go: when he recalled the posts, he was always in a hurry.And this afternoon was also the day when Uncle Cheap came to make amends.

Uncle Cheap came on time, and didn't even move his own sister, the concubine Toffee, who was a rescuer.

After greeting each other, Uncle Cheap took out a few pieces of ore from his small box, and presented them to Shui Rong respectfully.

In fact, Shui Rong only knows the bornite ore in it, and the rest...he has a universal system, so he recognized the rest of the ores in an instant: sphalerite, nickel ore...

Copper and zinc can be smelted into brass, which is the best choice for making pipeline valves. Copper and nickel can be smelted into cupronickel. Under the premise that he cannot produce a large amount of medical stainless steel, cupronickel is used to make it Surgical instruments couldn't be better.By the way, bronze is an alloy of copper and tin, so its uses needless to say.

The cheap uncle can have a stable supply of these kinds of ores... Shui Rong laughed when he thought of this: How could he dare to "throw himself into a trap" without any confidence?

Moreover, the deity didn't mark this cheap uncle as a "trash dude", so he probably felt a little strange: maybe cheap uncle...has great wisdom and talent?

Speaking of which, Uncle Cheap is very nervous at the moment. He didn't expect Shui Rong to have recognized all these stones. What he thought was: It doesn't matter if the prince doesn't know him, the key is that he can realize the value of these "broken stones"!

However, when he was thinking about how to propose to the prince to invite a master who is good at making iron to take a look, he suddenly raised his eyes, and he was stunned: it was the first time he saw this cheap nephew so directly... beaming with joy.

He didn't have time to think too much, he just asked dryly, "My lord, is it enough to buy my dog's life?"

Shui Rong almost burst out laughing when he heard this, and after a while, he restrained his excess emotions and said solemnly, "Uncle, you let the concubine go, if you want as much money as you want, just come to me."
