In the living room, Brother Jiu was explaining to Fusong, saying: "There must have been a lot of noise outside. My father-in-law and mother-in-law should be worried. You should go back to Dutong Mansion and make it clear to you two. There is nothing else." , It’s just to establish prestige for the new censors. They are monks from outside and are not of high rank. If they don’t establish this prestige, the senior officials in the Ministry of Internal Affairs will not be afraid..."
Fusong looked at Brother Jiu's expression and felt that he might really think so, but it was hard to say what Yuqian thought.
Thunder, rain, and dew are all your grace.
These words were mostly meant to comfort the elders.
It’s not just playing house, how could it be so simple?
"Master Jiu said he was suspended, but what about the time? How long?" Fusong asked tentatively.
Brother Jiu shook his head and said: "Ahma Khan didn't mention this. It must be after the third day of the summer. The Holy Emperor is going to the garden after the Dragon Boat Festival. The Queen Mother also let us go first. We will wait until the summer heat is over."
That's about three months.
Fusong said: "Okay, then I'll go home and tell you..."
When Fu Song went out, Zhang Tingzhan came in.
Brother Jiu stood up and said with embarrassment, "Hey, I've alarmed everyone. It's really nothing, don't worry."
He's not stupid, so he won't stick to anyone.
It's not that I'm worried that everyone will be disloyal, but that there's no need for more people to worry about it, and I'm also living up to the emperor's kindness.
Who knows what the internal affairs office will do next to clean up.
Currently, only Shu Shu, Tenth Elder Brother, and Gao Yanzhong know the inside story. To the others, Ninth Elder Brother is the same person.
Zhang Tingzhan said: "It just so happens that Master Jiu has some free time, so he can pick up Mencius and review it."
Brother Jiu was puzzled and said: "Okay, why are you studying Mencius?"
Before I was ordered to study the Book of Rites, it was because he did have some shortcomings in human sophistication, and he needed to study more to make up for it.
"Mencius", one of the Four Books, was studied in my early years when I was in the study.
I don’t need to take the Eight Banners Imperial Examination, I just need to study these Confucian books once.
Zhang Tingzhan said: "It is not a disadvantage for people to learn more about the golden mean when establishing the world."
Brother Jiu felt a headache after listening to this preaching tone, his eyes wandered, and said: "Don't worry, let me start reviewing when I come back from the garden..."
Now he really wished that the children would grow up at the first sight and just leave them to Zhang Tingzhan, so as not to have to worry about teaching him how to read.
Zhang Tingzhan said: "The Fucha guards came to the Prince's Mansion just now. After asking about Master Jiu, they left the mansion directly."
Brother Jiu stroked his forehead and felt his head hurt even more, and said, "What are you making all this fuss about?"
This should be for Ma Qi.
Needless to say, Ninth Brother knew that there was definitely homework waiting there.
Brother Ninth looked at Zhang Tingzhan and said: "I am just idle and I don't bother the two masters. Fujin has a village in Haidian, and he also wants to build a separate courtyard. You can go and have a look when you have time, and also produce a drawing. Wait until Once the design is complete, we can start construction together with the two Zhuangzi locations in Xiaotangshan..."
】
Zhang Tingzhan glanced at Brother Ninth and felt much less worried.
There is also a separate courtyard for leisure and leisure, which seems to have little impact.
He had discovered a long time ago that Brother Jiu had no ambition, maybe he really didn't care about errands.
The identity of Ninth Prince is here, even if the age of knighthood is postponed, there is no shortage of money, and this job is no longer necessary.
When the next wave of princes are knighted, the ninth elder brother will be the elder brother, and the knighthood will not lag behind the younger brothers.
He said: "Okay, I will take people to Haidian Village tomorrow to measure the size of the garden."
Brother Jiu nodded and said: "Go, go. They have raised pigs, chickens, sheep, and deer over there. They also planted a lot of fruit trees and vegetable fields. Mr. Zhang, take a look."
After sending Zhang Tingzhan away, Brother Ninth called Chun Lin, the bodyguard on duty today, and ordered: "Go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to find Fu Qing, tell him that I have something to ask him for, and ask him to come back quickly..."
Having said this, he paused and said: "If the Prime Minister's Office doesn't have it, go to the Hubu Yamen and ask. If it doesn't exist at the Hubu Yamen, go to the Lifanyuan."
Ma Qi is also among the retinue, and he also arrived in Beijing today. He is supposed to be at home on vacation, but who knows that he is still hanging with the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue and the Minister of the Lifanyuan. Who knows whether he has gone to the Yamen or not.
Chunlin responded.
Brother Ninth felt his mouth was dry and he spent a long time talking.
He somewhat understands what "the strong wind knows the strong grass, and the rough wind knows the honest minister".
No matter what, the staff in my Prince's Mansion are all good.
You know, except for Zhang Tingzhan and Gao Yanzhong, he selected the others himself, which can be regarded as a wise man.
His last trace of depression was gone, and he actually felt like "a blessing in disguise."
He stood up and planned to go back to the main courtyard when he saw Cui Baisui leading the twelfth and thirteenth elder brothers over.
"Brother Ninth..."
The thirteenth elder brother took a few quick steps and stepped forward to look at the ninth elder brother.
Seeing this, Brother Jiu rolled his eyes and said, "My arms and legs are all intact. What's there to see?"
Brother Thirteen smiled and said, "Brother Ninth seems to be in good spirits."
Brother Jiu hummed softly: "It's just a stop on errands, what's the point? You're still crying and wiping away your tears! If that happens, the third brother and the eighth brother will be demoted, and they will hang themselves in the southeast!"
"Stop the errand..."
Seeing Brother Ninth like this, Brother Thirteen couldn't help but feel sympathy in his heart.
It seems that Ninth Brother never thought that someone would take his job.
The ninth elder brother is quite responsible. Seeing that the twelfth elder brother has also come, he can't help but worry about the Yamen of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. He looked at the twelfth elder brother and said: "Why are you coming out too? There still needs to be a proper person in the yamen. If something urgent happens next, Mr. Zhang cannot handle it due to his limited status, and Mr. Ma and Mr. Ha are too busy to deal with..."
The twelfth elder brother remained silent.
The thirteenth elder brother hesitated for a moment and said: "Ninth brother, third brother has gone to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and is appointed as the general manager of the Ministry of Internal Affairs..."
Brother Jiu was stunned and couldn't help but twitching the corner of his mouth, and said in surprise: "Can't you?"
Khan Ama even remembered to take him out, so why would he be willing to fill the trap with a third child?
Khan Amma cherishes his first few sons, they are his true beloved sons.
Brother Thirteen nodded and said angrily: "The man is already gone, Brother Twelve also asked him to drive him out!"
Brother Jiu was stunned and didn't know what to say.
Seeing his silence, the Thirteenth Brother just thought he was sad and advised: "Brother Ninth, don't feel bad. It's not worth it for someone like that. He has already been thinking about Brother Ninth's errands. Otherwise, how can a good censor keep an eye on him?" Go to Brother Nine?"
The thirteenth elder brother and the fourteenth elder brother came together and thought that the impeachment incident was caused by the third elder brother.
The ninth elder brother looked at the thirteenth elder brother and almost guessed the reason.
The emperor's father is not cruel, and he will not drag the third elder brother to the throne for no reason.
This is the third elder brother's initiative.
In this way, we are in trouble again and appear unfriendly.
He held his forehead and thought that the third elder brother was pitiful and hateful. Why didn't he have a long memory?
It is conceivable that when the "nest" of the Ministry of Internal Affairs comes out, the third elder brother will be hated by others.
My popularity is not that good to begin with, but I will have to upgrade it in the future.
He let out a heavy breath and felt that he was getting better and better. He actually didn't hold grudges very much, and instead felt pity for the third child.
He glanced at the twelfth elder brother and said: "If I don't let you go, take a rest first. It's very hot. Let's wait until it cools down..."
At this point, he remembered Zhang Tingzhan's words, cleared his throat, and said: "I just have some free time, so I picked up Mencius and reviewed it..."
Then take notes or something, so as not to ask Zhang Tingzhan later and have no answer.
The twelfth elder brother looked at the ninth elder brother with doubts on his face.
Brother Jiu said seriously: "It's not a bad thing for people to learn more about the golden mean in order to live in this world. Everything is not black or white, and you can't keep a droopy face. Who can do whatever you want?"
The twelfth elder brother felt that these words were harsh, but he still listened to them.
Brother Thirteen was by his side and was deeply touched.
Loyalty is harsh to the ears. If Ninth Brother hadn't cared about Twelfth Brother, he wouldn't have taught him these principles.
They are both brothers, the gap is huge.
Brother Ninth didn't want to mention the matter of the Ministry of Internal Affairs anymore. He was afraid that he couldn't help laughing, so he turned away and said: "It's rare to come out. Let's go and see your nephews and nieces..."
With that, he told He Yuzhu: "Go and tell Fujin that the twelfth and thirteenth brothers are here. I will take you to see the children, and then tell the dining room to start dinner early. Don't delay my brother's return to the palace... …”
He Yuzhu responded and trotted off to report the news.
Brother Twelve met several children in mid-March.
At that time, the eldest brother and eldest brother had grown apart, and were white and tender; the second brother was still like a little old man, wrinkled, very small and fragile.
Brother Thirteen had not had a chance to meet him yet, so he asked in surprise, "Is it convenient?"
Brother Jiu said: "You are uncles, what's the inconvenience?"
The brothers chatted a few more times, and estimated that after half a cup of tea, Shu Shu's side should be almost done, so Brother Jiu took the two of them to the main courtyard.
Shu Shu was already waiting at the door of the main room. She met the two of them and greeted her uncle and sister-in-law.
Brother Jiu said: "Don't follow me out. I will take them two to see the child."
Shu Shu nodded without forcing it, and just asked: "When are we going to put food in the front yard, or the main house?"
Brother Jiu thought for a while and said: "Let's go to the front yard. They will leave after eating. Don't waste time, otherwise it will cause trouble if the palace door is locked."
Shu Shu agreed.
Brother Jiu took them directly to the back building and said: "Feng Sheng and Akdan are here, and Ni Guzhu is with the county master. They can't be raised together. Otherwise, if one of them cries, the other two will..." He was crying and making a fuss."
The twelfth and thirteenth elder brothers are here and have no interest in hearing about raising children.
While they were talking, they arrived at the back building. Nanny Qi was waiting at the door and reported to the ninth elder brother: "The eldest elder brother has just had milk and is awake; the second elder brother is still asleep. Ninth elder brother should speak softer." "
The second elder brother is the youngest but has the worst temper. He gets very angry when he gets up and cries when he doesn't sleep well or eat well.
His crying was different from Da Gege's dry howling. It was the kind of quiet sobbing that wiped away tears. He cried until he hiccupped and no one dared to provoke him until he could hold his breath.
When Brother Jiu thought of this, he was also very concerned and said: "Okay, I understand."
He moved lightly, and the twelfth elder brother and the thirteenth elder brother looked at each other and started to tiptoe.
We arrived in the east corner first. The eldest brother was awake, not in the carriage, and was being burped in the arms of his nanny.
Seeing Brother Jiu coming in, the nanny stepped aside.
The eldest brother is wearing a monk's uniform made of Songjiang cloth and looks well-behaved and honest.
The thirteenth elder brother couldn't help but smile when he saw clearly what the eldest elder brother looked like, and said: "She really looks like the ninth sister-in-law..."
The ninth elder brother reached out, took the eldest elder brother from the nanny's hand, weighed it, and said: "It's not as good as Da Gege, it won't gain much weight!"
Brother Thirteen has never seen a child, so he doesn’t know how old a normal baby should be. But seeing everyone’s relaxed appearance, he felt that the rumors about triplets being weak were a bit untrue. If that were the case, Ninth Brother and Ninth Sister-in-law How to be so calm and calm.
He carefully touched the eldest brother's little fist, which was white, tender and warm.
Seeing this, the ninth elder brother directly put the eldest brother into his arms and said: "Cuddle me if you want. Among the three darlings, this one is the only one who doesn't pick anyone."
Brother Thirteen tensed up and hugged him tightly for fear of falling.
The eldest brother didn't accept life, and lay obediently in his arms, his eyes falling on the hat of the thirteenth brother.
The thirteenth brother is wearing a summer hat with a red tassel on it.
The weight of the baby was here. After being nervous, the Thirteenth Brother adjusted his position under the instructions of the Ninth Brother, and he felt at ease. He asked curiously: "Is the Second Brother picking someone up with Da Gege?"
The ninth elder brother nodded and said: "The second elder brother is so coquettish that he only recognizes your ninth sister-in-law and no one else. Even if the nanny is breastfeeding, he has to wear your ninth sister-in-law's old clothes on his arm; Da Gege Over there, just follow her mood. When she's in a good mood, she'll be as sweet as a big brother, but when she's in a bad mood, she'll act like a donkey..."
Brother Thirteen nodded.
The twelfth elder brother was nearby, his eyes fell on the eldest elder brother's face, and he couldn't help complaining in his heart.
It's still a baby that can't move. How to choose someone?
It must be that Ninth Brother is partial, seeing that the eldest brother looks the fairest and cutest.
Daughters-in-law are all like this, they love the house and the crow...
