Coming out of Qingxi Bookstore, Brother Jiu still looked proud.
The eldest brother snorted lightly, hooked his shoulder, and taught him a lesson: "Don't be so wordy in the future, just give gifts when they are good, no more words!"
The mountains of gold and silver were no match for those of his brothers, which made the prince look at him several times.
It's too easy to offend people and there's no need.
Brother Jiu stretched out his left hand, showed the scar on his finger and said: "My brother is right, you have to ask people to find your things. No matter how much money you spend, they are not as precious as those made by your brother!"
The eldest brother did not deny this, but he advised: "The filial piety is enough, Khan Ama knows it well. You should also pretend to be more honest in the future, learn to say nice things, and don't always think about talking back."
Brother Jiu thought for a while and said: "Okay, from now on, my younger brother will also learn from his elder brothers. It can't be too affordable. You have to keep up with the fancy work..."
The eldest brother chuckled twice, glanced at the third brother, and let go of the ninth brother.
The third elder brother felt a little distressed when he thought about the slender figure of Agarwood Ruyi, and the embarrassment in the hands of the ninth elder brother, and asked: "How big are the agarwood seeds to carve such a big Ruyi?"
You must know that agarwood, also known as "agarwood" and "water agarwood", is not simply wood, but "knotted" from fragrant trees. It has been listed as the first among all fragrances since ancient times.
If Ruyi is one and a half feet long, how many years of agarwood seeds must be there?
A piece of material the size of a fist usually takes 20 to 30 years.
A piece of material as long as Ruyi would take at least a hundred years!
Brother Jiu gestured and said: "The length is about the same as Ruyi, otherwise I wouldn't be able to remember to make Ruyi. The thickness is quite thick, and there are some leftovers..."
Among the annual gifts I received last year, this was the most valuable one.
The third elder brother looked at the ninth elder brother eagerly and said: "I traveled to Mongolia in the first month. I guess I was tired from the journey. Some cold air entered my body. Recently, my legs and waist hurt. I couldn't sleep well. I couldn't sleep in the pillow at night. Agarwood To help you sleep, if there is still some agarwood left in Ninth Brother, can you..."
Brother Jiu glanced at him.
The third brother has been pretty decent since last year, and the relationship between the two houses seems respectable, so he can be a good brother.
He said: "There are a lot of agarwood chips and some materials. I can carve a few small signs on them, but they are not big. Can I give you one?"
The third elder brother nodded hurriedly and said: "Okay, okay, we agreed, you don't need to carve it, I'll send someone to pick it up later!"
The fourth elder brother glanced at the ninth elder brother, and the ninth elder brother hurriedly said: "I have left a piece for you, and will send it to you later along with the agarwood chips?"
The fourth elder brother nodded reservedly.
The fifth elder brother came over, looked at the ninth elder brother and said: "Just this once, filial piety is not about this. The Han people say that you must cherish your body, hair and skin, otherwise it is unfilial. You should do your job well and don't follow me." It is filial piety for Khan Amma to talk back!”
Brother Ninth Brother said: "Oh, Brother Five, Khan Ama made a loud noise just now, and you still said, don't listen, don't listen..."
After that, he pulled Brother Ten and walked a few steps quickly.
Then he thought of Brother Twelve, looked at Brother Twelve and said hello: "Twelve take my car, I also want to go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs..."
Except for the prince who was left in front of the emperor, the other princes came out to celebrate their birthdays.
Those who study will go to study, those who work as errands will go to work as errands, and they will be separated.
The ninth elder brother asked the tenth elder brother: "When you write to Ji Hong again, please mention some food and ingredients from outside and send them to the capital. I want them that are not available in the market..."
The tenth prince agreed.
Brother Jiu asked: "How long will the Holy Master live here?"
The 10th Prince thought for a while and said: "It will probably be mid-April. At that time, the Holy Master will patrol the Yongding River. Before that, the Queen Mother will be escorted back to the palace."
As for the palace examination and the passing ceremony in the next few days, the Holy Master should go back and return on the same day or the next day.
Seeing the ninth elder brother hesitating to speak, the tenth elder brother smiled and said: "Brother will be back in a few days, and then I will ask my younger brother Fujin to accompany the ninth elder brother..."
Brother Ninth nodded and said: "That's what I'm thinking about, but I don't have to accompany you all the time. Your Sister-in-law Ninth is still focusing on recuperation..."
When the time comes, I will go to the Yamen for half a day, and Shifujin will come here every other day. There must always be someone around to take care of me.
The county boss is getting older and has three children to look after.
Brother Ninth said: "It's just time for my younger siblings to practice their skills and see how to take care of the children..."
Brother Ten was filled with anticipation and asked, "Has Feng Sheng grown up now?"
Although the couple privately talked about carrying their nephew in their arms, it was not at this time. He would have to pass his first birthday.
The triplets are born on February 28th, which is about twenty days, and they will be full moon in ten days.
Brother Jiu nodded and said: "Except for the dick, everything has grown..."
The twelfth elder brother was standing by, listening to the two people talking.
He came over on horseback in the morning and brought a few guards with him.
When the guards saw Brother Jiu, they all greeted him with greetings, and then congratulated him repeatedly.
Everyone knew that an "auspicious" birth had occurred in the Ninth Prince's residence, but the Ninth Prince did not show up, and there were no guests at the residence, so everyone had the opportunity to congratulate him.
Brother Jiu beamed with joy and said, "Thank you, thank you. Although we won't have a full-moon banquet, the cakes still have to be eaten. I'll send someone to deliver them to you when the day comes..."
Everyone thanked me again.
Only then did the ninth elder brother take the twelfth elder brother into the carriage.
The twelfth prince is still taciturn.
Brother Jiu felt a little uncomfortable.
The imperial father kept everyone's things, but not the twelfth prince's, and didn't say a word.
Not only this time, if you think about it carefully, the emperor would also ignore the twelfth prince in the past.
But this cannot be said openly, otherwise it will make the twelfth prince even more embarrassed.
He has been at this age and has been treated so slowly before, so he naturally knows what it feels like.
He changed the topic and praised: "The official affairs have been handled well these days, and there are no mistakes. The officials are also doing well, and everything related to the harem relatives has been marked..."
He is not just trying to support himself. If he insists on going against those relatives, then he is just looking for trouble and making grudges with others.
He just wanted to make the vacancy-filling environment relatively fair and prevent those relatives with insufficient qualifications from taking over the vacancies of others.
So the standard of twelfth prince is useful.
If it is verified that the other party has sufficient qualifications, then Ninth Prince will not insist on changing the candidate.
The twelfth elder brother looked at the ninth elder brother and said: "With the instructions of the ninth elder brother, there are other established rules. Zhang Langzhong also helped my brother go through it..."
Brother Jiu thought of Zhang Baozhu, but there was nothing he could do.
It's not easy to push this up. The top five doctors in the Ministry of Internal Affairs are basically at an end.
If Zhang Baosheng was allowed to return to the Sixth Department, his experience in handling official affairs in the Ministry of Internal Affairs would not be of any advantage.
What's more, Brother Ninth Brother is now thinking far ahead, and he knows that the marriage that Khan Amma pointed out to his Fifth Brother should also have a purpose.
What we want is not high-ranking officials.
As long as the current situation remains the same, it will be fine.
However, Zhang Baozhu had been working as a doctor in the hall for three years, and he had really worked hard and done well, which saved him a lot of worry.
He said: "You and Dr. Zhang have been working really hard these days. I will tell you later that this year's Tanjing and Bingjing will be divided into two. You and Zhang Bao will each have one share..."
After hearing this, the twelfth elder brother blinked and said, "Ninth brother, where is my younger brother's salary?"
Brother Jiu glanced at him and said: "What good thing are you thinking about? How can you get a salary if you don't make up for the vacancy? Between all the brothers, which one didn't start getting money after being ennobled? Even if you go to the ministry, you can get a salary You don’t get any money for errands or anything like that. Besides, the salary of an official is low, only one hundred and eighty taels for a first-grade official..."
Brother Twelve had disappointment on his face.
Brother Jiu couldn't bear it anymore and said: "You can help me now. Let's do this. I will give you a share. According to Zhang Langzhong, it is eighty taels a year. Don't be embarrassed to accept it..."
Before he finished speaking, the twelfth elder brother had already nodded and said: "Thank you, ninth brother!"
He was very kind to accept it!
Others see him as relaxed, but is it easy for him?
I spend a whole day in the Ministry of Internal Affairs every day, and I am afraid that I will not see any omissions and let others take care of Ninth Brother.
Keep your spirits up, keep your spirits up!
While the brothers were talking, the carriage entered the city.
Brother Jiu was worried about his family, so he ordered people to leave Deshengmen, so that he could go home for a while.
After getting off the carriage and looking at the gate of the Prince's Mansion, the twelfth elder brother hesitated and said, "How about my brother wait for you in the car?"
Brother Jiu glanced at him and said, "What's weird? This is my brother's house, not someone else's house. Why are you pretending? It's just a few steps away. Don't you want to meet your nephew or niece?"
The twelfth elder brother pursed his lips and said with a hint of panic, "My brother didn't bring a greeting gift..."
Brother Jiu grabbed him and said, "Let's go. If you can't fall behind, go back and make up for it with the 'Full Moon Ceremony' and '100th Birthday Ceremony'!"
He Yuzhu took the first step and sent a message to the rear guard tower, fearing that Shu Shu would be inconvenienced.
After all, the twelfth elder brother is a grown man, not a child.
Shu Shu just got up after a good night's sleep. She wore homely clothes and added a vest on the outside, and then told Walnut: "Ask the kitchen to prepare some food and make some quick dishes..."
We all left the city early in the morning to pay our birthdays. Now it's been two or three hours, and we should be hungry.
Shu Shu went to Xishuojian again to look at a few babies.
The three brothers and sisters all drank milk and lay quietly on the bicycle, sleeping soundly.
Shu Shu gently withdrew.
When the ninth elder brother brought the twelfth elder brother in, Shu Shu was already waiting in the main room.
"Sister-in-law Ninth..."
The twelfth elder brother behaved politely, glanced at Shu Shu, and then lowered his eyes.
Shu Shu nodded in return and said, "Uncle Twelve..."
Brother Jiu came over, took Shu Shu's hand and said: "I'm a family member, not a foreigner. What are you doing standing here? Don't be tired..."
Shu Shu smiled and said, "I just got up after catching up on my sleep. My body is all rusty, so I just stood there for a while."
Brother Jiu felt his palms were clammy, so he helped Shushu back to the East Room to sit down, and said, "I'll just stop here, bring Twelve over to check on the little ones, and then go to the House of Internal Affairs. I'll be back in the afternoon." .”
Shu Shu glanced at the clock, it was already the second quarter of the first lunar month.
She said: "I just ordered the dining room to prepare food. I have seen the children and took my twelfth brother back to the main courtyard to have dinner before leaving."
Brother Jiu had just taken a few bites in the morning. Hearing Shu Shu's words, he felt a little hungry. He nodded and said, "Okay, I understand. Don't worry about it. Just stay well."
Shu Shu nodded and then stopped talking.
The twelfth elder brother stood in the main room, a little uneasy.
Sister-in-law Jiu was said to be able to pull a ten-power bow, but now she looked sallow and frail.
The rumors outside may not be groundless.
Sister-in-law Jiu's health seems to be really bad.
Is it true, as those people said, that he will follow in the footsteps of Dafu Jin?
The twelfth elder brother didn't dare to think about it.
Brother Jiu came out, glanced at him, and took him to the West Room without saying anything else.
Looking at the row of three motorcycles, Brother Twelve finally understood what triplets meant.
Brother Ninth and Sister-in-law Ninth are so amazing!
Other people have couples, but they are just three...
However, after seeing his three nephews and nieces one after another, the twelfth prince couldn't help but feel happy.
Fortunately, there are some looks on these three faces, like Ninth Brother and Ninth Sister-in-law. Otherwise, the children are different in size. When they look back, they look different. Someone must suspect that this "auspicious sign" is fake... …
