Ninth Prince's Mansion, Shangfang.

Shu Shu is looking at this year’s Dragon Boat Festival gift list.

This is one of the "three festivals and two birthdays", and doctors from all departments of the Ministry of Internal Affairs must prepare for the festival.

Since it is an official practice, in fact, it is not your own money that is thrown away.

For example, the money that the couple used to pay tribute to the Qianqing Palace actually came from the doctors of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

These doctors in the Ministry of Internal Affairs accepted the filial piety of their subordinates.

The subordinate officials still have many unqualified people in charge.

The wool comes from the sheep.

Is "three festivals and two birthdays" necessarily related to greed?

To say that there is no relationship is nonsense, and to say that there is a necessary relationship is not very accurate.

This custom started as a ceremonial thing.

After all, China is a country of etiquette and a society of human relations.

Over time, things have changed a bit.

Xiaochun is in charge of the internal accounts and can clearly notice that this year's Dragon Boat Festival is different from last year's.

"It's 30% more than last year's Dragon Boat Festival ceremony..." Xiaochun said.

During last year's Dragon Boat Festival, they were still on their way back from their southern tour, but they didn't delay in collecting the gifts.

It can be supplemented but cannot be lacking.

Shu Shu nodded and said: "You are all fine. Even if you didn't understand it before, you should understand it better in the past few months..."

Brother Ninth has a tactless temper and does not hide his likes and dislikes.

After this year, I will directly confront my relatives. At first glance, it seems fair and equitable, but once you find out more about it, you will know what is going on.

Those families were too big to take Brother Jiu seriously, so the annual gifts were too small.

The reason is very simple, no one would think that Ninth Brother is different.

This man is famous for his sour face.

Even the princes of the clan are not used to it, how can they still be used to it?

Those families were as if they had eaten shit. They had no place to complain, and they would have to be blamed by their relatives, which was not appropriate.

No matter how much I curse in my heart, my face is respectful, which is directly reflected in the Dragon Boat Festival ceremony.

Shu Shu thought for a while and said: "Take out these orders and make a mark..."

In that case, it will be convenient for the ninth elder brother to check, and he can also explain clearly the before and after in front of the prince elder brother...

In the Yamen of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Brother Ninth is about to leave.

He looked at the twelfth elder brother and said: "The business in Yufeng Tower is good, so don't wait in the palace all the time, and go to the imperial city more often..."

The twelfth elder brother looked at him and said, "What does the ninth brother want to check?"

Brother Jiu said: "I heard that the food at Yufeng Tower is good, and it is cooked by the imperial chef who has retired from the palace. Since the dishes are similar to those in the palace, the ingredients must be similar..."

The twelfth elder brother realized that the ninth elder brother was eyeing the imperial dining room again.

Brother Ninth thought relatively simply.

He is just a temporary butler.

This is the internal affairs office of Khan Amma.

When beating a dog, it depends on the owner.

If he had to jump out and deal with the Dong family and the Li family, there's no way the emperor would be unhappy.

One million taels, spread over fifty years, is 20,000 taels per year.

Two two million, three two million?

The Ministry of Internal Affairs has a lot of supplies, but it also occupies a lot of places.

There are more than 4,000 officials, and each person is greedy for one hundred taels of silver a year, which is more than 400,000 taels!

It is better to arch this number upwards and let Khan Amma make his own decision.

If the old man is willing to let his slaves embezzle hundreds of thousands of taels of silver a year, then he will still maintain peace and harmony.

Also, fishing in troubled waters.

It also makes the coating less vigilant.

If there are too many people involved, they will take chances and think that "the law does not punish everyone" and hope that big things will become trivial and they will become trivial.

This saves you the chance to jump over the wall and make another stupid move.

Brother Ninth took off his purse from his waist, threw it on Brother Twelve's table, and said: "I heard from Brother Ten that they have live fish at home. You can try them later this afternoon, and then order a few to be sent to our house. Don't you want them?"

Carp, grass carp, carp is fishy, ​​your sister-in-law doesn’t like to eat it..."

The twelfth elder brother did not pick up the purse and said: "Ninth brother, I have money here..."

I have fifty taels of silver every month, but I can't spend it.

Brother Jiu said: "What are you talking about? When I told others to listen later, I thought I was taking advantage of you and bullying my little brother..."

The twelfth elder brother looked at his desk, the one-foot-tall file, and then looked at the ninth elder brother's desk, which was clean.

Isn’t this bullying?!

After Brother Jiu finished explaining, he was already planning to go home.

As a result, as soon as he arrived at the gate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, he met the seventh elder brother head-on.

When the seventh elder brother saw the ninth elder brother, he stopped.

Seeing his sullen face, Brother Jiu had a bad premonition.

This brother is very well-informed.

Doesn't it have something to do with the Accounting Department?

Although the Dai Jia family raised the flag, according to the rules, they only raised one house, and most of their relatives were still in the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

"Seventh brother..."

The ninth elder brother was sarcastic.

It's one thing for him not to grant privileges to his relatives, but it's another thing entirely for him to actually confront these people.

The brothers have a good relationship, and there is no need to influence the relationship for unrelated people.

Seventh Prince said: "Leaving the palace?"

"Hmm..." Brother Jiu nodded honestly.

The Seventh Prince motioned for him to follow him and said: "Let's talk about it after leaving the palace..."

Brother Ninth slowed down, fell half a step, and followed Brother Seven.

The seventh elder brother had a straight face, and the ninth elder brother looked well-behaved.

In the eyes of the guards at Xihuamen, it was the ninth elder brother who had been kidnapped by the seventh elder brother.

"Master Jiu has always been proud, but this time he feels guilty and doesn't know what to do..."

Someone was whispering.

"Isn't it because he stopped Qi Ye's mother-in-law from filling the vacancy?" This was the speculation of others.

These guards who stay at the palace gate are also from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, so they naturally know the news about the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

The biggest news after the new year is that Brother Jiu will wear small shoes for those relatives...

Outside Xihua Gate, Brother Jiu's carriage was already waiting.

Brother Ninth glanced at Brother Seven and said, "How about we get in the car and talk?"

The seventh elder brother was not polite to him and got into the carriage.

Brother Ninth had no choice but to follow him and get into the car.

Guixiangzhai is the business of the Dong family and should have nothing to do with Brother Qi.

That is Yufeng Building, a business of Qibele Mansion?

Never heard of it...

Didn't it say it was opened by the people of Nancheng?

It seems that the owner's surname is Gao, and he is not a disciple of any prince's palace. He is from Wanping, and the restaurant has been open for decades.

The seventh elder brother looked at him and said: "You asked people to investigate Yufeng Tower? Stop investigating, it has something to do with the Qing Palace..."
To be continued...
