He Shen

Two days later, Shanbao was promoted two ranks in a row, and became a fifth-rank imperial guard.

Of course, this is the normal grade of a third-class guard, and it is not considered high.

However, it is more important to go up two consecutive levels from the seventh rank.

Upgrading two ranks from Tanhualang's Zheng Qipin almost made a group of Hanlin veterans want to grit their silver teeth: Long live, you are using the slogan of a Man-Han family, and what you do is too biased.

Also, there must be a reason for being promoted.Reward?Reward?You must have an explanation.

Although everyone knew that Shanbao would be promoted sooner or later, but it was too soon.It hasn't been two months since you ordered Qipin, right?What earth-shattering thing did he do that deserves your special promotion?

Not to mention others, a group of bachelors first got their faces dirty, full of dissatisfaction with their opinions.

Qianlong ordered people to take out the durians that Siam paid tribute to, and gave them to the great scholars to taste.

Liu Tongxun was almost stunned by Xun. If he hadn't been in front of the imperial court, he would have pinched his nose. Although Liu Lun was young, his reaction would not be strong.

Ali Gun murmured in his heart: Could it be that this is the stinky fruit tributed by the legendary Fan Kingdom.

Qianlong asked, "Do you know what this is?"

Ali Gun thought, anyway, we are not great scholars, so it’s normal if we don’t recognize them, and said naively, “I heard people outside that the things that Siam paid tribute to, there is a strong smell, is this it?”

Qianlong smiled and asked Liu Tongxun and Liu Lun, "Where are the two Liu Qings, do you know?"

"It's novel and rare." Liu Tongxun stroked his white beard and shook his head.

Liu Lun also shook his head.

Qianlong looked at Shanbao standing beside him, "Shanbao, do you recognize him?"

Shanbao had no choice but to scold his mother in his heart, and said nonsense in his mouth. Qianlong nodded and praised, "Thanks to Shanbao, otherwise I would have thought that the fruit had been spoiled. Siam is disrespectful." Woolen cloth!"

By the end of the sentence, it was already a bit cold.

There is no need to say what Qianlong meant.

Shanbao offended a bunch of people just like that, and earned himself a fifth-rank bodyguard.Because he was promoted to an official from durian, some narrow-mindedly gave him the nickname "Durian Guard".

After Fukang'an heard about it, he laughed very much.

"Let me know who's foul-mouthed and mean, I can't spare him!" Shanbao clenched his fist and thumped the table.

Fukang An smiled and said, "Isn't this exactly what you said? It smells bad and tastes good, Neixiu."

"Bullshit, am I Neixiu?" After pouring a cup of herbal tea, Shanbao didn't blush, and boasted, "I'm beautiful inside and out! Fukang'an, do you know who named me indiscriminately?"

Fukang'an shook his head quickly, "I don't know. By the way, your promotion is also a happy event. You have to invite a few tables anyway. There is no way to catch up with the driver when you first came. Take advantage of your promotion and put it in the garden. A few tables of wine, invite a small show, let's be lively."

"It's enough trouble for me to live here. How can I use your house to put on wine and put on a show? The chaos is upside down and the tranquility of this garden is disturbed. Also, didn't you say that General Fucha will be back these days?" Just go to the restaurant." Shanbao pinched a green grape and chewed it in his mouth.

"Okay, who doesn't know that you are mine?" Fu Kang'an directly asked the steward to come in to arrange things, and asked for paper to write a post.

Jin Zhu stood beside the desk with her sleeves rolled up, revealing a section of her white wrist, she lowered her head and studied the ink carefully.

Fukang'an turned his head to look at Jinzhu, and asked with a smile, "Hey, why isn't it a green orange?"

"Jin Zhu is very delicate, once you teach it, you can do things carefully." Shanbao wrote lightly, taking out a little wolf brush, dabbing some ink, lightly brushing the edge of the inkstone, the tip of the pen lightly falling, and writing post.

Fu Kang'an said to Nanny Li, "In that case, Nanny, let's promote Jin Zhu to the first-class maidservant."

"Third Master, as a rule, there is only one first-class maidservant in the man's yard, this..." Li Nanny was a little embarrassed, and the rules were not random and could be broken at will.

Qingju was just bringing in fruit, she is also a smart person, otherwise she would not be able to be a big maid, but she was a little bit annoyed after being left in the cold by Shan Bao for the past few days, she sneered, "Why bother, let Jin Zhu be the big maid , I am like a second-class girl, anyway, I am not favored by the master."

There were only ten posts, and Shanbao had already finished writing. He was holding the ink in his hand and drying the ink carefully, as if he hadn't heard Qingju's words at all.

Shanbao was so plain, but Fukang'an couldn't sit still, turned around and glared and said, "You are so courageous, who taught you to talk to the master like this? Mother Li, who trained her!"

He really didn't know how to use his strength towards Shanbaozheng, but with this lowly maidservant making trouble behind him, he suddenly became angry and said coldly, "I didn't know that the rules of this garden have changed? That's right, why bother?" It's such a troublesome thing, Nanny Li, kicked her out, such a low-level teaching thing, should she be kept as a joke for the guests?"

Qingju's face was already pale, she was trembling while leaning on the corner of the table, her tears flowed down unstoppably like broken beads, which made people feel pity suddenly.

Mother Li Zhiqingju's father is also a respectable steward in the garden, and he helped to intercede, "Third Master, the slave didn't mean to look at Qingju. She offended the master and asked her to nibble her head to apologize to the master. The slave took her down." Good discipline, let her know the rules."

Nanny Li turned around and grabbed Qingju, pressed her to kneel on the ground, and said in a low voice, "Don't admit your mistake to master and Mr. Shanbao."

"Slave, I'm convicted." Qing Ju gritted her teeth until her teeth became sore, she kowtowed and kowtowed, tears streaming down her face.

Fukang'an looked at Shanbao, and Nanny Li was the most seasoned, and begged, "Master Shanbao, please give this girl a chance for the sake of her understanding. As long as you have accumulated virtue, she will live forever." Thank you all."

Shanbao asked very strangely, "I'm only staying temporarily, can I interfere with the transfer of your family's personnel? Do you want me to intercede for her?"

Nanny Li said embarrassingly.

Shanbao turned to look at Fukang'an, and said with a smile, "It's just a girl, it's up to you if you want to keep it or let it go. She hasn't offended me, so what do you want me to say?" Eyeballs rolled, " Could it be that I can decide whether she will stay or not with one sentence? You must not say that, I don't have such a big face. "

Putting away the post, Shanbao said quietly, "Fukang'an, please spare her. A servant girl, why should she have the same knowledge as her. If she can come to this courtyard and be the first-class maidservant, her parents must be rich and famous in your family. Just don’t look at the face of her serving for many years, the face of Nanny Li, the face of me, at least look at the face of her family having a child, and the face of her ancestors who have worked in your family for generations. Forgive her for her hard work. "

Nanny Li's heart turned cold in an instant. If she couldn't understand the meaning of Shanbao's words, she would have lived in vain all these years.

Qingju was no longer arrogant and arrogant, and begged, "Third Master, Third Master, I made a mistake. If you want to beat or scold me, I have no complaints. I beg you to see that the slave is beating a child in this courtyard." Serve, don't drive the servants out."

Shanbao gathered up the invitation cards, put them neatly on the table, got up and went to the inner room.

Fukang'an has always been a decisive person, not to mention that Qingju violated his taboo, and said coldly, "What are you doing now! Hmph! I transferred you to this courtyard because I thought you were smart. Serve Shanbao here! But I don’t know that you serve like this!” Glaring at Nanny Li, “I knew that Madam was fine, but I never thought that Madam would let a lowly maidservant offend a noble guest! If such a thing gets out, who would dare to hear it? If our family is a guest, the Fucha family will lose all face! Since her family is decent, give me the list tomorrow and send them to a village in the suburbs to be decent! Come back to me when you know what to do!"

Fukang'an withdrew to look for Shanbao inside, Nanny Li sighed to herself, and softly told Qingju to pack her things.

Qingju was crying, clutching Nanny Li's hand, her eyes blurred with tears, "Mommy, I didn't mean it. Please help me beg the third master, I dare not..."

"Oh, you girl..."

Fukang'an followed Shanbao to the small bedroom inside,

If I knew this earlier, why bother.Nanny Li sighed, this Uncle Shanbao is usually kind, and he doesn't leave any room in his hands...It's useless to think too much, so he arranged for Qingju to leave.

"Shanbao, why don't you tell me what's not to like about you?" Fukang'an sat down next to Shanbao, and he was a little ashamed in asking about his care. Why didn't he find out earlier?No wonder Shanbao still treated him the same as before, and couldn't get any closer to him.

Shanbao leaned on the couch and poured tea by himself, "Why are you happy or not? I'm not unhappy. A girl, it's not an earth-shattering event. If you like it, look at it a little more. If you don't like it, just ignore it. Anyway, there are many people serving in the yard, and there will always be someone who agrees. It still needs a lot of fanfare, can't you get angry?"

The rabbit died and the fox was sad, Jin Zhu's face turned pale, seeing Shanbao pouring tea by himself, he hurriedly stepped forward and said in a low voice, "Master, let the servants serve you."

"Oh, it's okay, you go out and wait first, I will call you if something happens, just stay alert outside." Shan warmly said.

Jin Zhu withdrew as promised.

Fukang'an held Shanbao's hand, apologizing, "I didn't arrange it well." No wonder Shanbao was always in a daze, with such a heart-stopping girl, how could Shanbao appreciate his benefits.

"Okay, you're already very thoughtful." Shanbao freed one hand to grab Fukang'an's ear, teasing him, "Stop being so stern, come on, give me a smile."

Fukang'an almost spurted blood, and raised Shanbao's chin with one finger, looking evil, "I'll give you a smile, sir."

Jin Zhu came in softly and said, "Third Master, Master Shanbao, Yonggege is here."

Shanbao was taken aback, stood up quickly, and asked Fukang'an in a low voice, "Well, well, go to your courtyard to entertain Yong Gege. Well, men and women are different after all, it's not very convenient for me here."

"What a nerd." Fukang An qu pointed at Shanbao's forehead, "I'm stupefied when I read Chinese books. We Manchus are different from Han people. It doesn't matter if the children of acquaintances know how to speak. If it is in Mongolia Grassland, those little princesses know how to ride horses and shoot arrows, and when you are hunting in autumn, you are so shy, you will be laughed at."

"Third Uncle, Brother Shanbao." Yong'er's clear and crisp voice came in first.

Jin Zhu hurriedly closed the bead curtain, Yong'er was wearing a fruit green flag dress with rose borders, combed her hair with two small hair, pinned to it was a set of emerald beads, three rows of ruby ​​bead earrings on the left and right, her face was like a peach petal , pretty and bright, came in with a smile, "Third Uncle, what did Qingju do wrong, I saw her crying when I came in."

Fukangan smiled and pointed to the chair beside the couch, "Sit down. She's just going home to learn the rules. It's worth asking what she can do."

Yong'er cheerfully said, "Last year I lived in this courtyard, and I was served by Qingju, third uncle forgot? Brother Shanbao, did she offend you?"

"No." Jinzhu poured tea again, Shanbao put the fruit plate in front of Yonger with a smile, and said, "I also pleaded for her just now, your third uncle is strict in family management, so I don't have much to say."

Yong'er picked up a piece of hawthorn cake and said with a smile, "Yes, Third Uncle always wants to be some kind of great general, running a family like an army. Brother Shanbao, don't be angry with Third Uncle, he has always been like this, not only It's not giving you face."

Fukang'an asked, "You come out, does big sister know?"

"I know, I know, Guo Luomafa also knows." Drinking tea, licking the corners of her lips with a handkerchief, Yong'er tilted her head and smiled, "I came to see Brother Shanbao for something."

Shanbao corrected with a headache, "Yonggege, let's call me by name. If you call me brother, won't it make me a generation of Fukang'an for nothing."

I don't dare to be your elder brother, if someone hears about it, it will cause a verbal lawsuit.

Yong'er bent her eyes and smiled, "Okay, I'm afraid you won't be happy if I call you by your name directly." She is a straightforward person, she couldn't hold back her thoughts, so she inquired, "Shanbao, last time you gave Fengshen my name." The cake that Ji Lun made, I went back and asked them to make it according to the recipe you gave for a long time, but it didn’t work out. Can you come to my house and give pointers to those idiots. It’s my Ama’s birthday in a few days, I want to make one as a birthday present for Ama, wouldn’t it be a hundred times fresher than the usual peach birthday noodles.”

Fukang An said, "How can Shanbao make those things? The gentleman is far away from cooking. That's also made by his girl."

"The recipe for dim sum was written by Shanbao, he will come back soon." Yonger looked at Shanbao, and waited for Shanbao to answer.

Shanbao smiled, "Although I haven't done it myself, I know a little bit. When Yonggege is free, ask someone to call me. I'll go and have a look."

Yong'er smiled, "I'm here. Shanbao, come with me. I live in the palace with Er Niang. You are a bodyguard. You have changed into a bodyguard and come with me. If you want to avoid suspicion, you should call Sanjiu Come with us and you won't be afraid."

Let's say she is straight-minded, and she is quite thoughtful in thinking about things.

Fukang'an is a machismo, he will never enter the kitchen even if he dies, and Yong'er is also not in the sun, so Shanbao rolled up his sleeves and said to Yong'er, "Go and talk to Fukang'an, I will take a look at it." to find you."

Holding the tool, he directly demonstrated to the cook.

Yong'er was dumbfounded, and chased after Shanbao, "Shanbao, do you even know how to cook?"

"Know a thing or two."

Shanbao helped a lot, Yonger asked the kitchen to make fresh snacks, and ordered the girl to make good tea, please drink tea and rest.

Shanbao wanted to leave in a hurry, he had just been promoted to an official, and it was really hard for him to show off again.After frequently winking at Fukang'an, Fukang'an had no choice but to say, "Yong'er, I have something to do with Shanbao, so forget about your snack, we'll go back first."

"Third Uncle, please come back first, I must at least treat Shanbao to a cup of tea."

As soon as Shanbao held the cup of tea in his hand, the maid came in to report, "Ergege, guard Fu, guard Shanbao, the eldest princess is back."

Yong'er stood up, and said to Shanbao with a masterly air, "Shanbao, don't be nervous, my mother-in-law is very gentle and kind to everyone."

Gu Lun and Princess Jing are very young, they don't seem to be past their age at all, under the crow's black hair, there is a gentle and graceful oval face, with soft features, they are sitting on the throne with Yong'er in their arms and laughing, speaking reproachful words in their mouths, and their tone But full of love and pity, "You are naughty, and you want to invite Tanhualang to make trouble. This is your courtier of Guo Luomafa. Have you thanked Tanhualang?"

"Er Niang, Shanbao and I are friends. I also invited Shanbao to have tea and snacks." Yong'er smiled.

Seeing Princess Hejing's eyes, Shanbao turned around to himself, and said with a modest smile, "Yong Gege's filial piety towards the big forehead, this servant just understands a little bit, but in fact it didn't help much."

Princess Hejing held her daughter's hand and smiled kindly, "Yong'er is the youngest child of me and my son-in-law, so I can't help pampering her more on weekdays. Since I tasted the dim sum made by your house last time, Yong'er has never forgotten it. The cook I have followed the recipe a few times, but it still doesn't suit Yonger's taste. I thought maybe something was wrong. It's just that you are a courtier of Huang Ama after all, and it's not easy to work. I know that scholars have many rules, and you It's more forgiving."

Alas, the eldest princess Gu Lun of a country is surprisingly kind.

Shanbao couldn't sit still, stood up and said, "I really don't dare to take it seriously, it's just a trivial matter. As a slave, it's just a matter of little effort, the princess is too polite."

Princess He Jing smiled, "Don't be so restrained, sit down. Fu Kang'an's carefree temper made him a gentle friend like you."

"Big sister, I don't stick to trivial matters. I listened to what my big sister said, as if I was so vulgar." Fukang An smiled, "Shanbao and I are classmates in Xian'an Palace. We once studied together. Of course we have a friendship." Unusual."

Princess He Jing took a sip of tea, glanced at Fu Kang'an, and said with a smile, "Well, not only did you study in Xian'an Palace, you also studied in the study room."

"Big sister, it happened 800 years ago."

"I don't remember whether it was 800 or 800 years ago, but it was Fulte's brother. Fulkan was recently promoted to a second-class guard. Remember that you have been guards for about the same age?"

puff--

Before Fukang'an could respond, Shanbao sprayed a mouthful of tea onto the ground.

"Shanbao, you..."

Shanbao hurriedly wiped the tea stains from his mouth with a handkerchief, and smiled, "I, I am... that Fu... Fu Erkang, very familiar. Is he, Ama, Master Fu Lun, a university scholar?"

oh my god...

What's going on, there are Vulkan and Fortaire?

Does that mean there are little Swallows that return the Pearl?

"You've heard of him too?" Fukang'an was full of doubts, a Fulkang, isn't it worth getting excited like this?What's the relationship between you two?I haven't heard that you two know each other?

Shanbao bit the bullet and nodded, "Listen, I've heard of it, it seems to be a relative of the concubine Ling."

Princess Hejing looked down at the fragrant tea in her hand, a trace of displeasure flashed in her eyes, she quickly covered it up, and asked with a smile, "Shanbao also knows?"

"Well, I heard people talk about their brothers when I was in the government school."

After a few words with Princess Hejing, Fukang'an and Shanbao went back.

Shanbao was restless and full of doubts. He went back to the courtyard and grabbed Fu Kang'an and asked, "Is that Fu Erkang married?"

Fukang'an raised his eyebrows, looked at Shanbao with an extremely unfriendly gaze, and asked, "You seem to care about him?"

"Don't you know? Vulkang is very famous?" Shanbao sensed Fukang'an's indifference, and hurriedly laughed, "I heard that he is a bit stupid? He usually looks down on people with upturned nostrils. But the emperor I like him very much, want to marry him as a princess?"

Fukang soothed his forehead, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, "Who did you listen to? There is still a score for the first half, but for the rest, let me ask you first, who said he was going to marry the princess?"

"Ah? No?"

Fukang'an touched Shanbao's face, helplessly, "Do you believe this kind of gossip? He is just a slave in clothes, wanting to marry a princess? Daydream! Do you think the princess of the royal family is so worthless? The princes and nobles, the prince of Mongolia, Baylor, is there, can the emperor point the princess to the coat? This is a slap in the face of court officials and military officials. How wise the emperor is, he would never do such a thing."

Shanbao poured a cup of tea and handed it to Fukang'an. Fukang'an took a sip and said with a smile, "It's better for you to know a little bit about these things. Three years ago, the emperor wanted to show Fulkang the Liugege of the royal family of Guojun. Later, the king of Guojun entered the palace and had a fight with the emperor, but it was settled. Liu Gege was just a concubine of the prince's mansion, and even the king of Guojun could not agree to Gushan Gege's grade. This incident made the emperor quite unhappy In order to save face, I think this draft will point out a show girl as compensation for the Fuji family."

Shanbao was dumbfounded, "It turns out that the Fu family has no status?"

"You asked this question. Since ancient times, those who have made meritorious deeds have been rewarded, and those who are able have been rewarded." Fu Kang'an's lips curled up, not hiding his dislike for the Fu family, "First of all, his family has no military merits, and second, not to mention the brothers of the Fu family, they are Their old man Fulun, does he have any special abilities? In terms of knowledge, he is not as good as Liu Tongxun and Ji Xiaolan, and in terms of ability, he is not as good as Liu Lun Ali Gun. The emperor just wants to reward him, but there is no place to reward him."

Shanbao patted his chest, "I heard that Vulkang is the imperial bodyguard, isn't he the same as us, I haven't seen him before?"

"He, he was with us before, but the emperor saw that he had a good relationship with the fifth elder brother, so he fulfilled them and rewarded him to the fifth elder brother," Fukang'an smiled casually, "You didn't Listen to what Big Sister said, he has just been promoted to the second class, it seems that Fifth Elder Brother really thinks highly of him."

Shanbao didn't think too much about it, he was muttering now that he wouldn't come up with a princess or something, and said to Fukang'an, "They must have a good relationship. His younger brother Forte is the fifth elder brother's companion. It's normal for brother to win them over. I think they are too ostentatious, it's better if we don't know them well. You should also stay away from them."

No matter what kind of absurd world this is, Fifth Prince has no future anyway, so don't worry about it.Shanbao was wondering if the [-]th elder brother, Emperor Jiaqing, was born?

I have to think of a way to kill Brother Fifteen in advance.

After inquiring for a long time, Shanbao found out that elder brother fifteen is still in Concubine Ling's stomach, so he felt relieved.
