Chapter 144 Interpersonal

When the two nannies from Prince Chun's mansion returned, they praised Cao Jiayuanzi very much, and then talked about the people in the house. They first mentioned that the prince had no concubines yet, and then mentioned Amethyst.

Zhu'er and a few maids, Madam Suli didn't take it seriously. Only Zijing made her worried. She couldn't help but tell Zijing's character and identity in detail to Prince Chun, and said: "There is this girl who is in charge of the matter in the inner house of the Cao family. If... Fujin would have to make a decision early."

After hearing this, Prince Chun thought for a while and shook his head and said, "I heard that, this girl was not sure that this girl was brought by the prince when she was a child. There was no wet nurse in the prince's house. She could control the inner house, but she must be close to the prince. In this way, the girl could not move, but also respect her. Otherwise, it would not be a slap in the face? If there was a rift in the heart, we could not suppress the couple together, but we could not suppress the harmony. Besides, it was not a matter of suppression."

The two nannies hurriedly nodded and said yes.

Prince Chun Fujin paused and said, "Don't talk to the big princess again, she is a slutty and open-minded person. She is not a person who is very thoughtful. If you ask you to say that, she will think about it. Although she has taught the big princess a lot of family affairs this year, she is just talking about teaching and teaching, and she has not really let her take care of any major events. After this, this girl is still supported by this girl. You should mention this girl's kindness to her and tell her that she will give her more dignity. If this girl respects her and helps her, everyone in the mansion will be even more convinced."

When Madam Guarjia saw that Madam Suli had a little embarrassed face, she smiled and said to Fujin: "The old slaves are also full of hearts for the big princess, but how can this vision be as good as Madam? After all, Madam is thinking carefully. We are just worried and thinking about it."

Prince Chun Fujin smiled and said, "I know that you two are good for the big princess. In fact, you have been worried too much. Prince Ping has seen Prince Ping many times, and I also know that she is a first-class person and is the most reliable person. However, since she can bring that girl to you next day, what else do you have to worry about?"

The two nannies smiled and thought it was right, then left to meet the concubine and the big princess.

After seeing off the nannies of the Prince Chun’s mansion, the maids and mothers in the inner house breathed a sigh of relief. When the Prince’s mansion sent the nannies to teach Shang Shixiu’s cousin rules, they had learned about the nannies of the Prince’s mansion.

The two nannies from the Prince's Mansion who came today are all square and square, rigid but not sharp. Although they are not domineering, the majesty that comes out of their bones is daunting. When those maids and mothers stood beside them, they couldn't help but hold their breath and concentrate, holding their twelve-point caution, for fear of being a little wrong.

When they left, several daughters-in-charge who were in charge couldn't help but come over and talk to Zijing, saying that it was hard to meet the nanny of the Prince's Mansion. Zijing smiled and said, "The Tian family's demeanor is extraordinary, but they don't just deal with people without any trouble. The rules are stricter. Let's be careful in the future."

The few people knew it, and they just laughed and dispersed. Zhu'er and Cui'er looked at Mei Jing and stopped talking. They didn't say anything, and they went quietly.

Amethyst cooked the accounts, brought a cup of tea for a short rest, took the Lotus Sutra and spread it out and read it for a while, then twisted the rosary in his hand and remembered his thoughts. When the new mistress entered the mansion, it was also considered that the merit was complete, and it was time to go back to the south. When the family affairs were handed over, go back to the south, find a small temple, and quietly...

While thinking, the little maid outside came to report that the vanilla girl Zhang Gen family had something to ask for her, and Zi Jing hurriedly let her in.

Zhang Gen's short body, Zijing smiled and asked her to sit down. Zhang Gen's family said a few polite words before saying, "I am here to ask the girl to give me an idea. Seeing that the third girl is out of the box, my vanilla is to accompany me, but after all, vanilla is over the age of accompanying the room... After all, this is not in accordance with the rules..."

Zi Jing smiled and said, "It turns out that my aunt is doing this. Didn't the old man and the third girl tell me that Vanilla is willing to follow her and follow her. If not, then you can find your own family and let the house go."

Zhang Gen's family sighed: "It's not to hide it from the girl. Although it was thanked by the uncle's grace to marry by itself, we dare not break the rules. We should have been looking for it at home. But Vanilla is old, and all the servants in the mansion are already married..."

Zijing said, "I understand what my aunt means, but my aunt should also know the temperament of our uncle and the third girl. Since you have agreed to marry by yourself, you will be a person in the house. Since my aunt still can't let the rules, I will ask for it for my aunt again so that I can rest assured."

Zhang Gen's family said hurriedly: "I'm sorry for the girl."

Zijing smiled and nodded: "Aunt, please be polite, please wait for the letter!"

After seeing off Zhang Gen's family, Amethyst came to the bamboo courtyard to see Cao Yi. When he entered the door, he saw Cao Yi busy embroidery work.

Amethyst came over to invite An. Look at the flowers on her kang, it was a picture of a hundred seeds blooming. A gorgeous pomegranate flowers are like fire and clouds, and there are also pomegranates with fruits on the branches. The grains are full and bright red. It not only means the prosperous life but also implies that there are many children and grandchildren. It is auspicious pattern for the new year.

Seeing Apricot crystal smiling, Cao Yi couldn't help but blush and said hurriedly: "Sister Apricot crystal, don't laugh, this one was not embroidered for me, but for my brother and sister-in-law..."

Mei Jing smiled, took the embroidery piece and looked at it, and said, "It's really great. I just don't know what the girl is going to do."

Cao Yi said: "I'm still thinking about asking my sister. What if my sister looks at this picture, she might be framed into a small kang screen with four fans?"

Cao Yi was determined to make a gift for his brother, but the newlyweds' clothes, shoes, hats, quilts, pillows and other items were all said, and they wanted to make "all-good people" to make it, so they could borrow blessings. Cao Yi had to think elsewhere. She originally planned to embroider a curtain and lay cloth, but after looking for a variety of tricks, she felt that it was not very interesting. Finally, she thought of making an embroidered screen, which was both auspicious and beautiful, so she started to do it.

Amethyst measured the picture with his hand, nodded and said, "It's done. I'll ask someone to send the kang screen to the girl choose it. After the embroidery is finished, it will be sent directly to frame it."

Cao Yi smiled and thanked him, and asked again: "Does my sister sit here or is there something wrong?"

Amethyst told Cao Yi about the vanilla that Zhang Gen’s family had just said, and said, “They always abide by the rules and dare not find someone rashly from outside. They have to ask the girl to say something about this to make them feel at ease.”

Cao Yi smiled and said, "Aunt Zhang has always been cautious. I am afraid that he will lose politeness on my brother's side, so I come to ask you for advice. In fact, my brother is the most reasonable person. Sister, don't worry about this. I will go and tell Aunt Zhang. I need to find a good family to be at ease."

April Jing agreed. In the evening, Cao Yong returned home from get off work, and April Jing replied to Cao Yong one by one.

After hearing about Vancao, Cao Yong nodded: "It was just that they promised to ask them to find it at will. I fell in love with a matchmaker and said that it was no need to care about any inside and outside the government. Vancao is a good girl. Thanks to her protecting Ping'er, she has always been loyal. When she turns around, she will marry, so we should also serve as a thick dowry."

As for other things, he just let go of the matter and called Amethyst full-minded agent. He just made a decision occasionally. Now that he is at work, he has no time or the heart to manage his family affairs.

The Ministry of Revenue is not as "storm" as Cao Yong imagined. It seems very calm on the surface, and then there is a personnel replacement like a lantern.

On the fourth day of the tenth month, Shangshu Mu Helun came to the hall; on the seventh day of the day, Shi Shilun, the left deputy censor and the prefect of Shuntian Prefecture, was appointed as the right assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue; on the twelve, Heshen, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue, begged for retirement due to illness, and Kangxi agreed; on the twenty-year, he was transferred to the right assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue, Ta Jintai, and became the left assistant minister.

He was promoted to Governor of Gansu, E Qi, and was appointed as the Right Minister of the Ministry of Revenue.

There are six officials in the Ministry of Revenue. In addition to the Manchu and Han Shangshu, they are the left and right ministers of Manchu and Han. Although according to the system, Manchu officials are the most respected, in fact, those who work and directors are all Han officials. Now, except for the newly appointed Manchus, Mu Helun, the Right Minister Shi Shilun and the Right Minister E Qi are the first to come, Han Shangshu Zhang Penghu and Left Minister Ta Jintai went to the Ministry of Revenue last year. Only the Left Minister Zhang Shijue, who is considered an old man here.

Li Qichang, the doctor of Fujian Division, was in his forties. He was originally a resident of the State Councilor and was promoted in September. Although Cao Yong was young and was not a professional, Li Qichang did not dare to be negligent and was very polite to him. Everyone was a Beijing official, and who had the background was clear within two or three days. Anyone who had the identity of Cao Yong was exposed was not something that could be afforded by a small official.

In addition to being in charge of Fujian's finances, the Fujian Department also also collects the taxes of the people in Zhili, Tianjin sea taxes, Dongxiling, Rehe, and Miyun garrison salaries, the decree of dairy cattle and horse herding, the civil and military township examinations, and the grain relief in five cities. It is considered a busy yamen among the fourteen departments of the Ministry of Revenue.

In addition to a doctor and a junior, the Fujian Department also has seven or eight chief officials and more than a dozen pens. By the end of the year, the accounts for this year were to be settled, so everyone was not as leisurely as Cao Yong and was relatively busy.

Although Cao Yong was a little embarrassed, because the people below each performed their duties, it was not his turn to intervene. The doctor Li Qichang above said that he had to continue to be so leisurely. In fact, he read what he should read, and remembered to remember to remember to write down everything. "Tell less and learn more" was the charter he set for himself.

There are conflicts where there are people, and this sentence is obviously true. Although Cao Yong felt that he was low-key enough, some people still disliked him.

The leaders were naturally the leaders. There was a vacant official from the department. Everyone rushed forward with their heads, trying hard to do errands, thinking of ways to make relationships, and thinking about upgrading to a higher level. Unexpectedly, a half-year-old child of sixteen or seventeen suddenly came.

Even those pen styles were respectful to Cao Yong on the surface, but they were not very convinced. Some of them were powerful children, and some were knowledgeable students. They were considered to be a master of the ministry. Which one was not diligent? However, Cao Yong was just relying on his relationship, and he was superior to everyone.

Although everyone looked down on Cao Yong in his heart, who dared to ridicule him in person? Not to mention the level of the position, even the layers of powerful forces behind Cao Yong were not something they could afford. Unconsciously, except for the two who had no foundation and wanted to curry favor with the heads of the royal family, the others were very "polite" to Cao Yong. They were completely "unable to be provoked but could not hide", and intentionally or unintentionally isolated Cao Yong.

Cao Yong is not a young man without social experience, so he naturally knows that he has violated the interests of some people. However, he has no intention of actively making friends. He just studies and understands Fujian's financial situation more seriously, and also has the errands to take the lead in charge. Using his mouth cannot make people convinced. Power can make people servile to you, but it cannot be sincerely recognized.

After all, Cao Yong is an amateur, so he naturally has many things he doesn't understand. Because he is young, he rarely puts on an official airs, and he will not make people feel uncomfortable when asking for advice from those in charge. After a while, many people were moved by his modest and hard-working learning attitude. As a result, more and more people began to be willing to solve doubts for Cao Yong.

Cao Yong didn't talk much, but he was very generous. When his boss worked overtime at night, he often asked the mansion to send food. In order to avoid the suspicion of showing off his wealth, he specially ordered only ordinary wine and food. Everyone was a little embarrassed at first, but after repeated attempts, they accepted it calmly. As for the matter, everyone was considered half of Cao Yong's teacher, so what if he just wanted to eat and drink some?

Some officials and family members who are not in the capital are not in the capital, and they will take turns to invite wine every now and then. Cao Yong will occasionally join in the fun and have also bought wine twice in the mansion.

In this way, in just one month, Cao Yong not only understood the affairs of the Fujian Department, but also gradually resolved the isolation of his colleagues. Now, except for the few two or three chief officials who were biased against Cao Yong, the others were all sincerely intimate when they saw him.

After being familiar with the affairs of the Fujian Department, Cao Yong was a little confused. Mr. Kangxi threw this into the yamen, not to be accustomed to qualifications. However, among these many matters, there was a fixed constitution and there was no room for people to increase revenue and reduce expenditure. At first, he was more interested in Tianjin's maritime tax. Although there were local officials who filed a note to request a ban on the sea every year due to coastal pirates in the past two years, they all refuted by Kangxi. However, after checking the accounts in recent years, he realized that because Tianjin Port is an inner port, there was a ban on foreign ships and domestic maritime merchants. Most of the official and semi-official goods were on the ashore, and there was no large trade scope for it.
