Chapter 1923 The Old Man(2/2)
"Your family is related by marriage to Ding Zaobao's family?"
Gao Yanzhong respectfully replied: "Yes, my second sister married into the Ding family, and Mr. Ding is my second brother-in-law."
The Ding family, like the Gao family, is an official family, and the older male owner died in his prime and fell into decline.
Both families are from Liaoyang and have old relatives.
Ding Zaobao's father was a member of the Eight Banners. He once worked as an errand in Shang's study and read as a companion to Kangxi, who was still the prince.
When Ding Zaobao was a few years old, he was Kangxi's Haha Pearl.
But later on, when Emperor Shizu became popular, and Kangxi went from prince to emperor, his position became more and more expensive, whether it was the companions around him or the haha beads.
Not long after Ding Zaobao left the palace due to illness, he also lost the position of the Haha Pearl.
Ding's father also came out of the study room to fill the vacancy in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but he also died of illness within a few years.
It had been so long ago that Kangxi had long forgotten these two people.
In the past two years, when I think about my childhood, I think of the father and son again.
Kangxi had no impression of Ding Zaobao, who was the same age as himself, and remembered him as a wilting boy.
But he was deeply impressed by Ding's father and read with him for several years.
When Ding's father died of illness, he had just married not long ago. He was still sad at that time and mentioned the Ding family to Empress Yuan.
As for Ding Zaobao, Haha Zhuzi's experience is not known to the world. He has been in the chief position for several decades and was only promoted to doctor in the past two years.
Thinking of the Haha Pearl when he was a child, Kangxi became a little closer to Gao Yanzhong and asked, "Who made the arrangement for this marriage?"
Gao Yanzhong said truthfully: "It was decided by the slave's father during his lifetime. The Ding family and the slave's family are close relatives. The slave's aunt is Master Ding's grandmother."
Kangxi knew that Gao Yanzhong's father had been a Taoist priest in Fujian. At that time, San Francisco was still there, so he released many officials from the Ministry of Internal Affairs to serve as officials in San Francisco.
Since it is going to be released to the outside world, it must be said.
Kangxi knew that he should also have met Gao Fu.
It's just that it's been so long ago, it's been thirty or forty years, and it was before he took office, so I really have no memory of it.
Being able to become a third-level Taoist priest is also an outstanding person among Baoyi.
He said to Gao Yanzhong: "Do your job well..."
Gao Yanzhong responded and followed Brother Jiu to retreat.
After leaving the Imperial Palace, Brother Jiu asked out of curiosity: "Ding Zaobao, doctor of Qingfeng Division? Okay, why does Khan Ama think of this person?"
The Gao Ding family was related by marriage, so Gao Yanzhong naturally knew the Ding family's background, so he told the story that both the Ding family's father and son once worked in the study.
After hearing this, Brother Jiu was stunned and said: "Hahaha Pearl, Khan Ama was five years old, so isn't he older than Cao Yin? There is no movement at all outside..."
What day is it now in the Cao family?
What day is it in the Li family?
Among the officials of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, these two families are not in the capital, but they are still considered decent families.
This Ding family, if Kangxi hadn't mentioned it today, Brother Jiu wouldn't have known that this family had such qualifications.
I guess outsiders don't know, otherwise Ding Zaobao would not have stayed in the chief position for more than ten years. It was not until his ninth elder brother took charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs that he was promoted to Yuanwailang and then to doctor.
Gao Yanzhong was silent for a moment and said: "The haha beads that my second brother-in-law spared back then were mended by Cao Zhi."
Brother Ninth: "..."
This is a bad lawsuit from the early years.
Even if there is any grudge, it is between the Cao family and the Ding family and has nothing to do with the Gao family.
Brother Jiu put the matter down and said worriedly: "Khan Ama has begun to miss the past two years. It is not a good thing for you to think of Ding Zaobao at this time..."
Musca has not recovered from his serious illness, so the Ministry of Internal Affairs has to recruit a new general manager.
Brother Jiu originally thought that this time Gao Yanzhong would be appointed as the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
