The third elder brother went to the imperial mausoleum to serve the eldest princess and was not in the capital.
This year, it was the fifth elder brother's turn to check the files of the Ministry of Punishment. The Yamen of the Ministry of Punishment, Dali Temple and the Supervisory Office were on the west side of Qipan Street, and still some distance away from the Yamen of the Ministry of War. ,
After the ninth elder brother came out of the Ministry of War, he went to the household department first, met with the fourth elder brother, and told the emperor's grandson about enrolling in school.
Honghui is a year behind, but he can still be regarded as catching up with this wave.
"Now the young grandson of the emperor, Khan Ama is very rare. Looking back, it will be difficult to register in front of the emperor..."
The ninth elder brother said it with a bit of pride: "Brothers, shouldn't you thank me properly later? If it weren't for the housewarming wine in our house, where would the nephews have met the Holy Master?"
The fourth elder brother looked at him and asked without answering: "The place to worship Confucius started to be tidied up before the beginning of autumn. How could Khan Amma think of the emperor's grandson's enlightenment?"
The fourth elder brother has always been on errands and often goes to Qianqing Palace, so he can naturally see the changes in the surrounding buildings.
When the upper study room was renovated in the summer, the memorial hall next to it was also renovated.
The ninth elder brother coughed lightly, pretending not to hear it, and looked around at the fourth elder brother's room.
There is a word hanging behind the desk, "Quietness leads to far distance"
Brother Jiu curled his lips, it was too fake.
It's strange that my fourth brother can calm down because he is so diligent and loves to toss around.
This person has no self-awareness. The more he lacks something, the more he emphasizes it.
Seeing him like this, Fourth Brother couldn't think of anything, he must have been the one behind it, he frowned and said, "You shouldn't get involved in this!"
If you harm others and benefit yourself, you will not suffer any loss; but if you harm others without benefiting yourself, you will offend Yuqing Palace in vain, which is unwise.
Brother Jiu pretended to be confused and said: "What are you talking about? My brother doesn't know anything. It's not wrong for this Khan to love his grandson, right? Yin."
Fourth Brother glared at him and said: "Remember what you said today, you are not allowed to recognize me outside even if you look back!"
Brother Jiu also accepted his advice, took note of the reminder, and hummed softly: "I'm not stupid!"
Why did he dare to speak wantonly in Xinuang Pavilion of Qianqing Palace? It was because he knew the most accurate information from the emperor.
It cannot be exposed unless Khan Amma gives permission.
For example, when it comes to instigating the emperor's father to enlighten the emperor's grandson, the ninth elder brother also knows not to ask for favors.
There are those who thank him and those who annoy him.
He didn't want to bring all the prince's resentment to him.
Brother Jiu didn't want to stay in the household department any longer, so as not to continue to be punished, he stood up and said: "You are busy first, my brother has to find other brothers."
The fourth elder brother didn't leave him alone and just said: "What did you do in front of the emperor today?"
Brother Ninth said: "Khan Amar Fourteenth is going out of the capital to visit the mausoleum. I have ordered my eldest brother, younger brother, Thirteenth and Fourteenth to accompany me."
The fourth elder brother couldn't help but frown after hearing this.
How did the emperor's father choose the person?
The eldest brother is just with Thirteen, the ninth brother is with Fourteen·
Aren't you going to cause more trouble?
The fourth elder brother looked at the ninth elder brother and said, "Aren't you busy recently?"
Brother Jiu was confused and said: "No, this is not idle time. Shen Chu can go home every day. Khan Ama was nagging just now. Really, he works hard and doesn't see others idle!"
The fourth elder brother was speechless and said: "But you didn't quit your job and just accepted it. Where are your siblings?"
Brother Ninth glanced at Brother Four and said, "Aren't you and Sister-in-law Four still there? Besides, Old Ten is here too..."
Fourth Brother said: "But Dongyue went out and suffered a lot, so don't talk about the hard work when you look back."
Brother Ninth raised his chin and said, "Just look down on me. When has my brother ever been afraid of hard work? Let alone an errand of less than three hundred miles, I have nothing to say even if it's an errand of eight hundred or a thousand miles!"
Seeing him like this, the fourth elder brother said: "Then you should be stronger outside. Even if you suffer hardships, don't talk about it in front of the emperor. Act like an elder brother."
Brother Jiu nodded and said, "Don't worry about it. My younger brother is also going to be Amma's man, and he is not a child."
When he arrived at the Criminal Department, what Brother Jiu saw was another scene.
The fifth elder brother was lying on the desk, sleeping soundly, with shiny corners of his mouth and drool dripping from his mouth.
When the eunuch following him saw him coming, he wanted to call the fifth elder brother, but the ninth elder brother stopped him and asked in a low voice: "What's going on? The fifth elder brother didn't get a good rest last night?"
The eunuch whispered: "It's very good. I stopped at the second watch and got up at the beginning of the morning."
Speaking of this, he hesitated and said: "Maybe it was because of reading that I felt sleepy..."
Spring is sleepy, autumn is tired, summer takes a nap, and winter is March when I can't wake up.
No need to catch up on sleep, the room is warm and drowsy.
Since he was not just catching up on his sleep, the ninth elder brother took action, pushed the fifth elder brother mercilessly, and said: "The fifth elder brother is up, let's start the banquet!"
The fifth elder brother opened his eyes and said confusedly: "What kind of banquet? What is the main course?"
"Ha ha!"
Brother Jiu laughed out loud when he saw this: "Fifth Brother, are you really big-hearted? You spend all day looking at the death penalty files, whether they were murders or poisonings. How can you still think about eating?"
He also saw it last year, and he didn't dare to sleep in the same bed with Shu Shu at night.
There are bad people in this world.
Fortunately he didn't touch it.
People's minds are unpredictable, that's all.
The fifth elder brother woke up completely, looked at him and said dissatisfiedly: "You fooled people first, and it's up to me!"
Brother Jiu pointed at the cases laid out on the several cases, with a look of confusion on his face, and said: "These various cases look more exciting than a storybook, and I can't even compile them. You can just read them as a storybook." It’s not serious homework, so how can I still feel sleepy?”
The fifth elder brother made a sad face and said: "It's all just words. If you read too much, your eyes will get blurry and you will feel sleepy!"
Brother Ninth also knew his brother's shortcomings, and he also started enlightenment with the princes, but he didn't seem to be enlightened, and his homework was worse than his own.
But the fifth brother is already twenty-one. It’s not like he studied when he was a child. If he doesn’t learn well, he just doesn’t learn.
Khan Amma pointed him to come to the Ministry of Punishment to study, so that he could see more of the world.
When I turned around and asked about it, I found that Fifth Brother had learned nothing, and Khan Ama might not be happy about it.
The ninth elder brother thought for a while, glanced at the fifth elder brother's personal eunuch and said: "I remember that you are serving the fifth elder brother's pen and ink, so you should be literate, right?"
The eunuch bowed and said, "Yes, I have to serve my master's pen and ink, and I have learned from the steward for two years."
Brother Jiu glanced at An Zong.
In the Criminal Department's cases, it is important that the recording documents are clear and not complicated.
He then told the man: "Then when Fifth Brother comes to the Criminal Department, you will read these cases to Fifth Brother, and tell them what you can, so that Fifth Brother will not waste his eyes."
The eunuch did not respond immediately, but looked at the fifth elder brother.
The fifth elder brother said with joy on his face: "Okay, okay! Let Zhou Fu read it to me, so I don't have to read it myself. I watched it for a long time and couldn't understand it."
Looking at the fifth elder brother, the ninth elder brother was a little worried.
He thought for a while and asked: "When you were in the study, Fifth Brother, where did you find it difficult? "University", "The Analects of Confucius"? Or what?"
Find the node and make up for it.
The fifth elder brother looked uncomfortable and said, "Okay, why are you asking?"
Brother Jiu had a bad premonition and asked tentatively, "Is that the Thousand-Character Essay?"
The fifth elder brother glanced at him, nodded, and said with a grimace: "I didn't understand at the time, so I just copied books all day long, and I only knew the words..."
Brother Jiu didn't expect that he had just said to the emperor that brothers "know it but don't know why", and in the end he would meet someone who "doesn't know why"!
But this is too cowardly.
These officials in the imperial court are all human sperm. From now on, everyone will know that he is stupid.
The ninth elder brother thought for a while, waved to the fifth elder brother, lowered his voice and said: "Fifth elder brother, you can't be so confused all the time. It will be easy to delay your errands in the future. According to my brother, why don't you find a teacher? , Re-enlightenment!”
The fifth elder brother also noticed the inconvenience.
Especially this kind of errand that requires reading files.
He thought for a while and said, "Can I let my uncle teach me?"
You are not an outsider, and you cannot lose your face outside.
After hearing this, Brother Jiu quickly shook his head and said, "No!"
Although it is true that the Guo Luoluo family and Fifth Brother have a mutually prosperous and mutually destructive relationship, that family can easily get into trouble.
If you really accept their favor, the other party will be so proud and rampant.
Also, Fifth Brother was exposed next to them, so maybe they were bold enough to fool Fifth Brother.
Brother Ninth Brother said: "You don't have to look for others. You and Sister-in-law Five are one and the same. Sister-in-law Five's family is closely related to family education, so you can just learn from Sister-in-law Five directly. Mr. Zhang is very strict in his actions and has patience in teaching others. Sister-in-law Five also appoints you." You can’t go wrong…”
After Gao Bin finished dealing with the land in Xiaotangshan, he returned to Brother Jiu and is now learning to compile documents with Zhang Baozhu.
After hearing this, the fifth elder brother said a little shyly: "Is this good? I have never heard of such a thing."
Brother Jiu took the lead and affirmed: "Why is it bad? Look at my brother, last year I studied with my brother Fujin. She likes reading, and she and I also love reading. These two are not outsiders. She taught me, Isn't it just right for me to teach her? It's not a competition, my younger brother has to be in the front..."
The fifth elder brother was a little moved and said, "Then what did you teach your younger siblings?"
Brother Ninth said proudly: "There are so many things. Read the account books, record relatives, fish, catch birds, and grow vegetables."
The fifth elder brother hesitated and said: "Then what should I teach your fifth sister-in-law?"
Brother Jiu thought for a while and said: "You are not old or young. Mongolian is basic, and you are not bad at horseback riding and archery. Besides, you can bring more sisters-in-law out to eat out. It is time to give things and give things. It is not good to give gifts to many people." Strange……"
Speaking of this, he said with regret: "My younger brother and Fujin had planned well before. When they move out of the palace, they would clean out the big restaurants in Sijiu City and add some new recipes to the family. Now we have to postpone it." It’s over…”
He didn't care about food and drink, what he cared about was accompanying Shu Shu there.
My Fujin loves food, so when she is happy, he is also happy.
The fifth elder brother was very excited after hearing this, and said: "This is good, this is good, then I will take your fifth sister-in-law to eat first. If there are any good dishes, I will send them to you to try..."
Brother Jiu said: "Okay, then my brother will wait!"
The fifth elder brother was overjoyed and felt that it was not difficult to come to the Yamen. He said: "Starting tomorrow, I will listen to the case files here in the morning, pick up your fifth sister-in-law to go to the restaurant at noon, and come back in the afternoon."
Brother Jiu nodded and said, "Not bad."
After finishing his chat, he remembered the purpose of his visit, so he quoted Kangxi's words and mentioned that he would enroll in school after the year of Hongyi.
The fifth elder brother hesitated a little after hearing this. He looked at the ninth elder brother and hesitated to speak.
Brother Ninth said: "What's the matter? Brother Five, why are you hesitating? This is grace. If you catch up with this wave, let's take care of this wave first. When Sister-in-law Five gives birth to a nephew, she will catch the next wave... "
The fifth elder brother hesitated for a moment and said: "Ms. Liu mentioned Hong Diao's enlightenment a few days ago and wanted to choose a reading companion for Hong Diao from your fifth sister-in-law's natal family."
After hearing this, Ninth Brother's face dropped and he said: "What do you mean? I'm sure that Fifth Sister-in-law has no legitimate son, so she insists on having a concubine's eldest son? If you dare to say this, Fifth Brother, should you ask the imperial doctor to help you? Fifth sister-in-law, take a closer look to see if she has tricked her into something bad or tampered with her!" Knife.
The fifth elder brother said hurriedly: "You misunderstood. She didn't mean that, and she didn't have the ability. She just wanted Hong Diao to get closer to your fifth sister-in-law..."
Brother Jiu frowned and said, "You are the one who got used to it. You are so arrogant. Haven't you seen it yet? Why should we be so close to the eldest son of a common concubine? Should we still treat him as his legitimate eldest son? Sister-in-law Wu is kind-hearted and has no intention of doing anything for her. I feel sorry for their mother and son, but they shouldn’t push themselves so hard..."
The fifth elder brother looked at him and said, "I wasn't thinking about anything else at the time. I was just thinking about my family. Isn't it nice to be close to each other? Isn't this inappropriate?"
Brother Jiu nodded and said: "Of course! The fifth sister-in-law is only in her twenties, and she has only been married to the fifth brother for two and a half years. What's the point of getting close to the eldest son of a concubine? When the fifth sister-in-law came in, according to the rules, you guys It’s time to send Hong Diao to the main house, but I didn’t want to give it up at the time, so just keep it. Now that I’ve raised him to a point where he’s sensible, and I know my mother has kissed him, what are my thoughts on sending him to the main house?”
"You're the one who's used to it. You bully Sister-in-law Wu for her good temper."
At this point, Brother Jiu frowned and said: "If Mr. Liu is like this, Hong Diao must teach him well, otherwise he will turn out to be like Aktun, arrogant and ignorant of his identity. If you want to be straight again, just come over." It’s a lot of effort…”
