Chapter 2001: Not human inside and out (wowling for monthly votes)
The fifth elder brother has been staying here for several years, but now that he has been away for a few days, it feels different when he looks back.
It seems like the house has gotten bigger.
How is that possible?
If you look closely, you can see that the furniture, chairs, etc. that were originally there have been reduced a lot.
The house seems spacious.
And the smell is no longer like moldy wood.
"Orange scent?"
The fifth elder brother said, looking around with his eyes.
He did know that his brother's house was smoked with fresh fruits.
That's fine at home, but in the yamen, it's a little conspicuous.
The people coming and going in the yamen were known to others, and the censor had another reason to impeach him.
After looking around, I didn't see the fruit plate.
Brother Jiu pointed to the small copper stove on the desk and said, "There is some fragrant paste inside. It can dissipate the smell for two days."
These are all shipped from Suzhou.
There are hundreds of acres of orange orchards on Dongshan Island, but because it is far away from the capital, only a handful of oranges can be transported to the capital.
The remaining oranges were bought by fresh fruit merchants and made into various things.
There is honey orange jam, orange balm, and orange balm.
It is very convenient to transport these small items to the capital.
When Gui Dan saw the two masters coming in, he stood up from behind the desk and called the two masters: "I would like to say hello to the fourth master, and I would like to say hello to the fifth master."
Brother Si raised his hand and shouted. He had already arrived at the desk and looked down at what Guidan had copied.
Brother Jiu explained from the side: "I asked me to let out the two writing styles here. For a while, there was no one to help, so I arrested Guidan's strong men and copied documents. The various departments who came to Beijing for shifts this winter."
The fifth elder brother was holding the incense burner and opened the lid to look at the ointment inside. After hearing this, he looked at Guidan and felt a little worried.
"Isn't there any manpower available in the government? If it doesn't work, go hire someone else..."
Fifth elder brother said.
Regarding Guidan's cousin, the fifth elder brother's impression was that he was an idiot.
I have been working as a reading companion in the upper study room for ten years, but Gui Dan is not good at writing or martial arts, so he is not a man who can take on tasks.
As for the Guo Luoluo family, it will be Gui Yuan who will support the family in the future.
Brother Jiu waved his hand and said, "There are so many impatient people. It will be fine if Yi Duli and the others come back in a while."
The fifth elder brother knew that his younger brother did not like to work, so he did not force him to do so.
Guidan knew what was going on, so he apologized and retreated.
The teapot was occupied, so He Yuzhu rinsed two teacups and served tea to the two gentlemen.
Brother Ninth gave up the couch and asked his two brothers to sit down. He pulled up a chair and sat down, saying: "Brother Five is here to ask about the Queen's grandmother? Brother Four, where are you here? When will you move? Brother Three yesterday
Just move it, look at that cleverness, you are not in a hurry."
They are all princes from the same group, and the ninth elder brother would rather it be the fourth elder brother who takes the lead, rather than the third elder brother being too proud.
The third elder brother can easily get carried away, and he let everyone see this when he was first granted the title of county king.
Brother Si shook his head and said, "There's no rush. We'll wait until April."
Brother Jiu disapproved and said, "We can't let Third Brother steal the limelight. You should be more attentive anyway."
Brother Si looked at the tea in the cup. The lotus seeds inside were green in color, not the dark green that is common outside.
Brother Jiu proudly said: "This is the new lotus seed core tea launched by our tea house last year. This exclusive secret of the preparation method is not available outside. If you try it again, the taste will be different from the ordinary lotus seed core tea.
"
Brother Si lowered his head and took half a sip. The green bitterness of the lotus seed core immediately spread in his mouth. If he tasted it carefully, he noticed the difference.
It is three times less bitter than ordinary lotus seed core tea and tastes more mellow.
He looked at the tea soup again and it seemed to be refreshing than the ordinary lotus seed core tea.
Brother Jiu said proudly: "Peel the lotus seed core out, and don't dry it directly. Instead, use cool boiled water to wash away the mucus on the outside, and then dry it in the shade. When making tea, it's like drinking Pu'er tea. Wash the tea first...
…”
The fourth elder brother said nothing, and the fifth elder brother exclaimed: "This is too troublesome..."
He had eaten a meaty meal in the morning, and now he was thirsty, so he drank it all in three gulps.
He Yuzhu saw him at the side and hurriedly poured another glass for the fifth elder brother.
The fifth elder brother looked at the ninth elder brother and said, "How is the imperial grandmother living in Haidian? Is she in good spirits?"
Brother Jiu said: "It looks good. It's better than the palace. It's a big place. At this time, the flowers and plants are just right to look at. It's comfortable to walk around in the garden..."
Having said this, he thought of the tidy room that he had packed up, and said, "Did you also move in the past two days and see that the tiara was swept out?"
The fifth elder brother breathed out and said: "It's good for the imperial grandmother to live comfortably. I was afraid that there would be no one there, so I thought of moving. Since you guys have gone there first, my place will be fine in April."
Brother Jiu frowned after hearing this and said: "You are not as busy as Brother Four. What are you doing dragging your feet? Someone must have reported to the Imperial Grandmother. The Imperial Grandmother is still looking forward to your coming over for some reason, okay?
, you are not moving again, how disappointing!”
After hearing this, the fifth elder brother hesitated again and said, "Then, should I go there earlier?"
Brother Jiu nodded and said, "That's right. We can move early or late, so why are you still dawdling?"
The fourth elder brother glanced at the ninth elder brother and said, "How do you speak?"
Brother Jiu coughed slightly, his voice slowed down, and said: "I just think it's not easy for the imperial grandmother. It's quite deserted when Xiao Jiu is not here. Brother Five will move over. Please come back to An in three or five days and eat with me."
A meal is also a sign of filial piety, which cannot be replaced by others."
The fifth elder brother had a look of shame on his face and said, "I will move tomorrow."
Brother Jiu smiled and said: "Well, when the fifth brother is in the garden, he can also help take care of Nigu Zhu..."
As he spoke, he told the whole story of Ni Guzhu's stay in the North Garden.
Brother Si was a little worried and said, "You're too young. Have you learned all the rules?"
"hehe……"
Brother Jiu didn't know how to answer, so he asked: "How many serious rules did we have when we were young?"
The fourth elder brother looked at the ninth elder brother and knew that this was a violation of the rules.
It's so big-hearted that you dare to let go.
The fifth elder brother said from the side: "You are six years old. They are all queens who have moved to the palace. Khan Ama pointed out the chief eunuch to come down, and everyone learned the rules according to their own wisdom."
The ninth elder brother spread his hands and said: "Ni Guzhu is only four years old, and he already has all the rules for meeting people on weekdays. That's all. Who would argue with a child?"
The fifth elder brother echoed: "Yes, yes, it's too late to be rare, and no one will pick on the children's gifts."
The fourth elder brother looked helpless at the two brothers.
Why don't you think about what a great opportunity this is?
There are no juniors around the Queen Mother. If Ni Guzhu is liked by the Queen Mother, she will definitely stand out among the granddaughters of the emperor.
Even if you don't support the imperial court, you can register in front of the imperial court whenever you live in Beihuayuan every time you come to Haidian.
He thought of this and did not remind Brother Jiu.
Perhaps what the Queen Mother likes is this kind of closeness without calculation.
If you are too deliberate, if your whereabouts are exposed, you will fall into the trap.
Just let Brother Jiu maintain his cheerful temperament.
Ninth Brother came back from Haidian just to tell Iduli and Agula to sort out the list of tribes coming to visit this winter.
After the two matters were almost handled, he was ready to go find Brother Ten.
Seeing his two brothers' bottoms sinking, he took out his pocket watch and took a look.
Just a moment away from making the official announcement.
He said: "What other instructions do you two have? I won't have any guests without you. We have to go back to Haidian today."
Fourth Brother frowned and said, "It's too hard to go back and forth every day."
"hehe……"
Brother Jiu laughed out loud and said: "You think so highly of me, I have agreed with Lao Ha that we will come back tomorrow to deal with some trivial matters, and starting from the next day, I will check in at the check-in counter in the garden.
"
Fourth elder brother: "..."
The fifth elder brother said from the side: "It's good this way. It saves you the hard work every day. It's getting hotter day by day, and it's stuffy in the car."
Brother Si took a breath and said nothing else.
With Ninth Brother's small body here, it would be unrealistic to travel between Haidian and Beijing every day.
Obviously, we can intersperse it, going to Haidian every two or three days, and returning to Baylor Mansion at other times, but the thought of Shu Shu taking care of four children is really uneasy.
The fifth elder brother hesitated for a moment and said: "When I go to Haidian this time, I will take Guarjia with me. Then I will pay my respects to the imperial grandmother. She is a new arrival and does not know the royal rules. She has to ask her younger siblings to help take care of her.
"
The ninth elder brother and the fourth elder brother both looked at the fifth elder brother.
The fifth elder brother lowered his eyes and said, "His Talash has to take care of the children and cannot go out."
The fourth elder brother looked at the ninth elder brother.
Brother Jiu had a tangled look on his face. He knew his brother's difficulties, but he still said something ugly beforehand.
"I, Fujin, am a warm-hearted person, and my fifth brother is no different. You have spoken, and she has no objection. But this will offend the fifth sister-in-law. You have to make it clear to the fifth sister-in-law. Don't let her complain about me, Fujin..."
After hearing this, the fifth elder brother immediately changed his mind and said, thinking about his wife's temperament, "Forget it, I'll ask a proper nanny to follow."
Brother Jiu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good. I'm just afraid that we won't be thankless for our effort. When the time comes, you and Sister-in-law Five will be a couple. If we fight at the head of the bed and end of the bed, it will appear that we are not human beings inside and outside."
The fifth elder brother couldn't help but punch him and said: "Okay, stop talking, I won't embarrass you."
Brother Jiu said: "This is not a matter of embarrassment or not. It's because of our different status. It's easy for people to gossip. People outside don't know the inside story. They think that I, Fujin, treat my sister-in-law lightly and only get close to her..."
Not only is it thankless, but you also have to take the blame.
The fifth elder brother looked sadly at the ninth elder brother.
He felt sour in his heart. The younger brother would protect his sister-in-law. Although this was the right thing to do, the elder brother also felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.
Brother Ninth Brother was not hard-hearted, but he couldn't bear it when he saw this. He hurriedly came up with an idea and said: "Bago has always been unwilling to be the queen, and he is probably going to move. When the time comes, you can tell Bago that Fucha will take his sister-in-law with him.
It’s not that annoying anymore.”
The fifth elder brother turned his head.
What kind of bullshit idea is this?
He didn't want to get close to Lao Ba.
Lao Ba has a "climbing along" temperament. Once you are alienated, don't get closer to him.
Saying this, he felt uneasy. He looked at Brother Jiu and said, "Just do as I said and arrange for grandma to follow. Don't always think about troublesome others..."
