In the afternoon, Brother Ninth didn't want to go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Shu Shu said: "There is still more than half a month left. I will start working at home tomorrow. I have to give instructions on the daily schedule..."
Although she did not have the intention to "discard private affairs for the sake of public service", after all, Ninth Prince was the prince on duty, and Kangxi was watching over him.
Don't be too irresponsible.
Brother Jiu thought it was right, and nodded: "Yes, I can't delay my errands, and I can't give Khan Ama an excuse to deduct his salary..."
In the past, hundreds of taels of silver were not taken seriously, and if they were deducted, they would be deducted.
You can import additional ones later, but the cost will be huge.
The tenth elder brother was just hanging out in the clan mansion, and he came back to his place for dinner every day.
The weather is a bit short this year, and he is no exception.
Normally, the two brothers would set off almost a quarter before the second day of the Lunar New Year.
Today, the tenth brother also took the time to come out, but he waited at the door of the second house for an extra quarter of an hour before he saw his ninth brother arriving late.
It’s just Brother Jiu’s posture, his stride, and his pursed lips...
I feel proud and happy at the same time, I feel so beautiful that my nose will be filled with snot...
Brother Ten smiled and asked: "Has the letter from the Mongolian prince arrived again?"
Which tribe's prince wants large pieces of blued gold jewelry?
Brother Jiu raised his eyebrows and said: "The preparations are almost done, the rest can be waited until the end of the year!"
Starting from October, various Mongolian ministries have come to Beijing for shifts.
At that time, the blue-burning business will really start.
Just wait for them to come forward with the money.
With the golden belt, Brother Jiu also knows a lot about the Mongolian princes, so he is really not short of money.
The two brothers talked and came out along the corridor.
Brother Ten asked: "What other happy events are there? Brother Ninth and Amama Khan proposed to move, and Amama Khan agreed?"
Apart from this, he couldn't think of anything else for the moment.
When he heard "moving", Brother Jiu had a look of confusion on his face.
He has sent Shu Shu Guining to Shu Shu Guining several times this year. Of course he knows that the Yue family hopes that he will move out of the palace as soon as possible.
However, the taboo of the fetal god...
In the winter of last year, the seventh prince ignored this taboo and moved out of the palace with the other princes. As a result, the little princess born by Qifu Jin was not very suitable...
Maybe there are other reasons, but who can call it such a coincidence.
Brother Ninth didn't dare to take risks anymore.
Seeing his unpredictable expression, Brother Ten knew that he had guessed wrong.
But apart from moving, is there anything else that has made Brother Jiu both happy and worried recently?
Brother Ten showed worry on his face: "Brother Ninth, what's going on?"
Seeing him like this, Brother Jiu softened his heart.
The two brothers talked about everything when they were young, and he also knew that the tenth brother was the most strict-mouthed, unlike the loudmouthed ones like the third brother and the fourteenth brother.
Just thinking about Shu Shu's reminder, he had to cough slightly, looked at the tenth brother and said seriously: "I can tell you, but you are not allowed to tell others, not even the tenth brother and sister!"
The tenth prince felt extremely embarrassed. How could his wife become a "other person"?
But he still nodded happily and said: "Well, I won't tell!"
Only then did Brother Ninth grin, his face full of joy, and he remembered the squeamish words of the child in the first three months, so he changed his words to something more elegant, and said with a bit of pride: "At the end of the month, it should be
There’s good news!”
After hearing this, Brother Ten still had no clue.
Now that their brothers have settled their errands and their titles are gone, what good news is there?
He looked at Brother Jiu and said, "What kind of good news is it?"
Brother Jiu had already been itching for a long time and wanted to share it, so he said, "I'll give you a hint, but you just have to know it in your heart, and don't say it out loud until you hold it in!"
Brother Ten was even more curious and agreed again.
Brother Jiu then turned around, glanced to the north, and said triumphantly: "Buddha bless you, my and Fujin's dreams will come true!"
The tenth brother was startled, and then his face showed surprise, and he said: "Really?! That would be great. If a little brother is born, I will help the ninth brother take care of him; if a little princess is born, I will prepare the dowry.
!”
After hearing this, Brother Jiu quickly waved his hand and said: "Go away! I asked you to do it, what are you doing with me?"
The tenth prince smiled and said nothing.
He was a little worried about Brother Jiu teaching his children, so don't teach him too sincerely.
As expected, the two brothers grew up together. They both have similar thoughts and are not at ease with each other.
Brother Jiu raised his eyebrows and said, "It's still early. We won't have a pulse until the end of the month. I'll go to the Yamen for half a day today, but I won't be here starting tomorrow!"
Brother Ten: "..."
If there is no Hua Pulse, how can one confirm pregnancy?!
He asked his doubts.
The ninth elder brother looked at the tenth elder brother with contempt and said: "You don't understand, these are all signs of pregnancy!"
Speaking of this, he remembered Xiao Chun's fetal dream mentioned by Shu Shu.
What a naive girl, she dreamed of snatching the fetus, and it should have been him, the one who became the mother, who did it!
He cursed in his heart, but said: "I have been dreaming a while ago. I dreamed that little dragons were blocking me. They looked weird. This is not where I should be. Next year is the Year of the Dragon..."
The tenth brother is more sensible, and he is a little worried that his ninth brother is looking forward to the child too much, is hysterical, and is worried that his joy will be in vain.
His face didn't show anything, but he still nodded and said: "That must be it, otherwise who would dream of this? I won't tell you, brother Ninth, please bear with me for now. The doctor will check your pulse at the end of the month before talking."
After hearing this, Brother Jiu shook his head and said: "It's only been a month and a half until the end of the month, and we can't tell anyone about it. We have to keep it secret for the first three months, and we can't tell anyone about it until three months have passed."
Brother Ten said honestly: "Then three months, it's better to be careful."
Brother Jiu also thought the same and reminded: "Don't tell you about Fujin. She is shallow-minded and can't hide things. If she exposes them in front of her sisters-in-law, it will be known to everyone!"
The tenth prince responded: "Don't worry, I won't tell you!"
If you really want to say it, you have to wait until the end of the month is confirmed. Otherwise, if something goes wrong, Brother Ninth and Sister-in-law Ninth will be embarrassed by then.
While they were talking, the two brothers arrived at the Yamen of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and said goodbye.
Brother Jiu arrived at the Yamen and told Gao Bin: "Please come over, Mr. Zhang."
This means that Zhang, the doctor of the main office of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, was saved.
Gao Bin responded and went down. After a while, he brought Zhang Bao over.
Brother Jiu said: "Master Zhang's brief summary of official documents is good. From now on, I will keep it as it is now. From now on, I will send someone to pick it up every morning and afternoon."
Zhang Baozhuo and Gao Bin were both stunned when they heard this sentence.
Zhang Baozhu hesitated and said, "When will the completed official documents be sent out?"
Brother Jiu thought for a while and said: "When He Yuzhu comes in the morning, he will bring the official documents from the previous day's afternoon; when he comes in the afternoon, he will bring the official documents from the morning. I just want to change my office and won't come to the Yamen during this period.
Already..."
After hearing this, Zhang Baozhu and Gao Bin looked a little worried.
Now that autumn and winter alternate, it is most likely to get sick at this time.
When Brother Jiu saw this, he said: "Don't worry, it's not that you have a disease, you just offended our empress and was fined and grounded!"
Zhang Baozhu and Gao Bin were both stunned.
Brother Jiu had no intention of explaining. He waved his hand and said: "Starting tomorrow, we will follow these rules. It's okay. Mr. Zhang, go and get busy!"
Zhang Baoshu retreated.
Gao Bin didn't dare to ask anything in front of Brother Jiu, but when he came out, he pulled Sun Jin and whispered: "Master Jiu is already an errand prince, how can Concubine Yi punish her as she pleases?"
Sun Jin knew the inside story. He just followed his master out for a walk. Knowing that words were important, he nodded and said: "That's my mother-in-law, what else can I do? Our father is filial, so we should make the mother-in-law happy..."
Gao Bin was still a little confused and whispered: "Didn't you say that the Holy Master will return to Luan in a few days? Then can the Emperor intercede with our Ninth Master?"
At such an age, she will be banned if asked to do so. Concubine Yi is too domineering. It would not be nice to hear this spread, and it would hurt the dignity of the ninth elder brother.
Sun Jin shook his head and said: "Probably not. My mother disciplines her son, even if he is grounded, he is not beaten or scolded!"
Gao Bin looked at Sun Jin and felt something was wrong.
You are here, fussing and fussing, worrying about Brother Ninth. How come the eunuch next to Brother Ninth is still calm?
He stopped talking and just paid attention to He Yuzhu.
I found that He Yuzhu didn't show any signs of worry.
He was a little unsure as to whether the relationship between the ninth elder brother and Concubine Yi, mother and son, was a good one or a bad one?
When he got home in the evening, he went to the main room to find his father and told him about the "grounding" of his ninth elder brother.
Gao Yanzhong was stunned for a moment after hearing this.
Gao Bin is a young boy who has been working as an errand for less than a year.
Gao Yanzhong, on the other hand, worked as an errand in the Ministry of Internal Affairs for half his life.
Even though I have never dealt with Concubine Yi, I have heard about her behavior.
This concubine has been favored for many years and has been in charge of the affairs of the Sixth Palace of the West for many years. However, she behaves respectfully and is not arrogant.
When did the princes have their turn to be disciplined by their concubines?
If we talk about the young prince, there is still a possibility before he goes to study.
But as soon as he entered the study room, it was not the palace concubine's turn to interfere with the prince's elder brother's upbringing.
The ninth elder brother is not only the elder brother, but also an errand, and it is not the turn of Yifei to discipline him.
There's something going on...
Concubine Yifei's order to "no feet" was just a pretense.
Gao Yanzhong couldn't guess the reason, but he warned his son: "This is filial piety! What is 'filial piety', both 'filial piety' and 'submission'. Master Jiu is a filial son, so don't worry about it!"
Gao Bin nodded and said: "It seems that I am hiding something. Master Jiu didn't go into details, but it shouldn't be a big deal."
The Ministry of Internal Affairs is involved in many things. Whenever the Ninth Prince makes any movement, the Ministry of Internal Affairs will know about it and will spread it to all the palaces.
*
Yanxi Palace, main hall.
Concubine Hui listened but didn't take it to heart.
This is a false statement.
Isn't it unhealthy to anger the ninth elder brother for his youngest son's centenary gift?
She warned the palace people: "Don't listen to the nonsense said by outsiders, and don't follow the nonsense. Concubine Yi is not that kind of person..."
*
In Ningshou Palace.
When Jiu Gege heard the news, she felt a little uneasy. She rushed to the main hall and said to the Queen Mother: "Grandmother, is it possible that Concubine Yi's mother was angry with Sister Jiu and took her anger out on Brother Jiu? Why don't your granddaughter come over?
Let’s take a trip and see what’s going on?”
All gifts in any family are prepared by the mistress, and few are prepared by the male master.
Concubine Yi is picky about gifts. Why is she dissatisfied with Sister-in-law Jiu?
If you want to say that the gift is simple, then it shouldn't be. Sister-in-law Jiu is not that stingy person.
The rest is just nitpicking.
The Queen Mother said: "If we don't get involved in the lawsuit between mother and son, it shouldn't involve Shu Shu. Concubine Yi is not a fool..."
Speaking of this, she felt a little worried, so she said: "Tomorrow, on the tenth day of the lunar month, when Concubine Yi comes over, I will ask her carefully..."
*
In the Yonghe Palace, the main hall and the eastern Buddhist hall.
Concubine De lit up the incense, and the nun beside her also whispered about the rumors outside.
Concubine De couldn't help frowning after hearing this.
When something goes wrong, there must be a monster.
Concubine Yi is not of such a calculative temperament, and she won't speak out loudly with her centenary gift. That would be sowing maggots between her two sons.
The youngest son is still in his infancy and will have to rely on his brothers from now on. No matter how stupid he is, he will not say such things.
Then why was Brother Jiu detained in the elder brother's house?
Is the Ministry of Internal Affairs going to make another big move?
Concubine De stroked her chest, her heart rising.
But when she thought that all her relatives had cleared out of the imperial dining room, she felt relieved.
Just go ahead and do whatever you want, it has nothing to do with the Wuya family, and there is no need for you to wade into troubled waters...
