"Gao Bin!"
Brother Jiu stared, wanting to kick someone.
Gao Bin was also dumbfounded and looked at the county magistrate's brother.
Is this a scam? !
The county magistrate's brother looked at a few fishermen wearing short clothes.
The fishermen were so nervous that they knew something was wrong.
The officials asked if the place with many fish was there for fishing, and they thought it was a fishing place.
They were not willing to say it before, but later they found out that a noble person was traveling, so they reluctantly said it.
This place is not suitable for fishing, but it is really a fish nest.
They set up block nets and fish baskets.
The leader of the fish explained clearly with his head clucking, and everyone looked at Brother Ninth.
Brother Jiu snorted coldly and said to Shu Shu: "I was thinking about catching a big fish for you before, but they got me into trouble."
Shu Shu said: "Let's fish again next time. Let's see the catch today."
I brought a fishing stool and an umbrella that could be held up.
He Yuzhu led people to arrange the seats and asked Brother Jiu and Shu Shu to sit down.
Gao Bin was standing by, wishing he could give himself a slap in the face.
It was obviously a errand assigned to him by Master Jiu, so why did he give up?
If I had come over yesterday to take a look, I wouldn't have made such a mistake.
The fishermen also felt uneasy and began to set up their nets.
The first net made the guards jump for joy.
Zhang Tingzhan and Cao Yueying also felt happy when they looked at the white catch on the fishing net.
Although the joy of fishing is missing, it is still fun to watch the catch come ashore.
Gao Bin stood next to Brother Jiu and scratched his head.
Brother Jiu glanced at him and said, "Why are you still standing there stupidly? I will deduct half a year's monthly payment from you and collect the fish. If there is a big fish today, it will be an advantage for you. If there is no big fish, I will deduct another half year!"
Gao Bin came to his senses and immediately responded: "Slave, go right now. There must be a big fish. When you and Fujin arrive, the fish will have to jump into the fish basket by itself!"
Brother Jiu kicked him angrily and said: "Get away, I think you are angry!"
Gao Bin trotted over and struck the fish head.
Brother Jiu complained to Shu Shu: "Gao Bin, this kid is so crazy!"
Shu Shu said: "Just punish him. I can be more careful in the future."
At this age, how could I have thought that there was a possibility of spreading the wrong message?
Just ask a few fishermen to choose a place with the best fish and the most fish.
The section of the river in front of us happens to be uneven, forming a pool of water on the river channel, and there is a fish nest.
This should be a good place for fishermen to keep secret, but they only told it because of official inquiries.
I must have learned a lesson today. In the future, Gao Bin will do everything he does without talking about it, and he will verify it again and again.
In the first net, two baskets of fish were picked, the largest one was one and a half feet long.
Gao Bin couldn't help but feel anxious when he saw it.
He guessed that Brother Jiu's so-called "big fish" standard was not bigger than the fat-headed fish he bought before, but it had to be about the same size.
Huh?
What a big river shrimp!
He remembered that Walnut mentioned that Fujin loved shrimps.
He hurriedly picked carefully and took the largest river shrimp, which was about four inches long. Holding it in both hands, he came to Brother Jiu and Shu Shu and said, "Master Jiu, Fujin, what a big river shrimp." , it’s even better than the shrimps bought in Tianjin!”
Brother Jiu and Shu Shu both looked over and saw that half a palm had grown.
Shu Shu looked at it and wanted spicy river shrimp.
Brother Jiu became interested and asked: "In addition to fish and shrimps, are there any other river foods?"
Gao Bin immediately said: "Then let me go and ask..."
After saying that, he trotted off.
Brother Jiu's expression softened a little, and he said to Shu Shu: "Finally, I know how to make amends. I'm so stupid. I thought I was in the capital. No one dares to fool me if I hold the banner!"
Shu Shu looked at Brother Jiu, but he didn't expect him to think of this too.
Brother Jiu recited this sentence, looked at the two baskets of fish, and said: "It's a pity that it hasn't frozen yet, otherwise we would have sent two baskets of chilled fish back to Beijing..."
Shu Shu said: "It will be freezing at the end of the month, so it would be a good time for us to take it back."
Brother Jiu nodded and told He Yuzhu: "Remember this. If I and Fujin forget it, just think of it and tell him."
He Yuzhu agreed.
Xiaosong and Xiaotang both went to see the catch, but Walnut was still there ready to give instructions.
Shu Shu turned her head, waved to her and said, "You can go too, don't hang around here, I'll call you if I need anything."
Walnut responded and went to find Xiaosong and Xiaotang.
Brother Jiu glanced at the back of Walnut and said to Shu Shu: "Gao Bin will be farming until next autumn. Then Fourth Brother should fill his vacancy, but I don't know what it is."
Shu Shu said: "Gao Bin has ambitions and wants to be a people-friendly official. He probably won't join the Sixth Ministry. He is probably a prefecture magistrate or county magistrate in Zhili. He can also be responsible for promoting grain varieties."
After hearing this, Brother Ninth couldn't help but said in disgust: "The county magistrate is the eighth grade, and the general judge is from the seventh grade. This grade is too low!"
The former's salary is forty taels of silver, and the latter's salary is forty-five taels.
There is no way he can compare with the third-class bodyguard of the Prince's Mansion, who is from the fifth rank.
Shu Shu said: "Officials who are close to the people are different. Gao Bin is young and does not come from a decent background. There is no way to directly appoint him as a palm seal official. He has to start as an assistant official."
Brother Jiu shook his head and said: "But when will you be promoted? You can't make up for it like this. I'll discuss it later with Fourth Brother. If it's really not possible to make Gao Bin the head of the House of Internal Affairs, he must first get up to the sixth rank, and then go outside." Let go, even if you are an assistant officer, you will be able to correct the general judge of the sixth grade and the general knowledge of the fifth grade, which is better than wasting time on the seventh or eighth grade."
Shu Shu didn't want to talk too much. If he starts from the county magistrate and the state magistrate, and stays for three years, he will be the county magistrate. If, as Brother Jiu said, he starts from the general magistrate and the tongzhi, and stays for three years and then gets promoted to the palm seal official. There is a huge difference between a prefect and a magistrate.
In history, Gao Bin only came to prominence during the Yongzheng Dynasty.
Now that I have met Brother Jiu, who loves to pick on people, it shouldn't take that long.
By the river, Gao Bin was talking to Yutou Tou.
Yubaotou also knew that the young man and woman wearing mink cloaks were actually the prince and prince Fujin.
Although they were not punished, they also knew that there was something wrong with the site selection today, and they were frightened.
Even if the nobles don't open their mouths to punish them, will the county government officials spare them when the nobles leave?
Thank God for the opportunity to make amends now.
"The little old man has two baskets of snails at home, which have spit out silt and are ready to be used to make snail sauce. There is also a turtle that was netted in another place during the snow a few days ago. It is the size of a washbasin..."
The fish raised its head and added: "There are also some dried fish dried in autumn, which weigh about a hundred or ten kilograms..."
Gao Bin said happily: "I want them all."
The fish listened and felt relieved.
Although the soft-shell turtle and dried fish were worth a few dollars, they came from the river and had no capital. As long as they could smooth over the matter.
He hurriedly called a boy and gave some instructions.
The boy drove the donkey cart, left the river, and went downstream.
Brother Ninth remembered the fish he had eaten during the Northern Patrol, and said to Shu Shu: "I remembered that. When we get to Rehe, let's fish for that."
A cold water fish without spines.
Shu Shu is also worried about it.
This is a big fish nest, with a total of seven fishing nets and fourteen fish baskets.
The catches were collected one after another, and everyone was dumbfounded.
Gao Bin is still thinking about the big fish.
It's not that I feel sorry for the half-year monthly salary, but I also have to pay for it. Master Jiu gave it to me for free, but I don't want to dampen Brother Jiu's interest.
However, he could also see that the longest fish hanging on the fishing net was only one and a half feet. No matter how big it was, it could break free of the fishing net or bite through the fishing net.
On the contrary, it is a fish basket made of wicker, which is more than four feet long, and there is a chance of catching big fish.
When he reached the ninth fish basket, Gao Bin almost jumped up. There was a two-and-a-half-foot-long grass carp in it, with scales covering his thumb.
"There's a big fish!"
Gao Bin danced with joy.
Walnut looked on, but was a little disappointed.
Fujin wants to eat fish heads. It would be great if this is a fat-headed fish...

Miyun Palace.
Cao Shun has arrived.
Fu Qing got the news and came over and said: "You have been resting in the capital for a long time, is there any news?"
This Longkodo incident is so big that no one can guess what will happen next.
Cao Shun didn't answer, but asked for tea first, "Gudu Gudu", Niu drank a few cups, and then said: "It's so lively, someone is impeaching Master Jiu. On the day I went back, the emperor didn't summon him, but also asked someone to arrange flowers. , saying that the emperor is angry with Master Jiu, and from the rumors, it seems that he is going to appoint the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs."
Fu Qing was stunned and said, "Master Twelve?"
Others don't know it, but those around them know that Master Jiu attaches great importance to the twelfth elder brother and has taught him a lot in the past six months.
When the ninth elder brother is away, the twelfth elder brother can also take charge of himself.
It just makes people feel uncomfortable.
Master Jiu, the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, was quite comfortable in front of him, and those around him didn't want others to take their place.
Cao Shun glanced at Fu Qing and wondered why a thoughtful man like Ma Qi could give birth to such a simple-minded son.
Looking at the unfair look, I really thought that others would blame Ninth Prince for his shortcomings.
Cao Shun said: "It should be promoted from one of the old people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs."
After hearing this, Fu Qing felt at ease.
As long as the one who gets promoted is not the twelfth elder brother, that's fine.
Because the twelfth elder brother can replace the ninth elder brother, but no one else can replace him.
Things have been going on in the Ministry of Internal Affairs in the past few years, and the emperor is well aware that he will not leave everything in the hands of his ministers or Bao Yi.
"Is there anything else?" Fu Qing asked.
Cao Shun thought for a while and said: "The elder brother is teething and has a slight fever. The county magistrate asked the imperial doctor to check it. It's not serious. He took the antipyretic medicine and it went down. The eldest brother and the second brother are both fine. The second brother is fine." My brother is willing to be hugged by Shi Fujin..."
Fu Qing was stunned, looked at Cao Shun and said, "Did Master Jiu ask you to inquire?"
Cao Shun shook his head and said: "I just went home and met our eldest brother, thinking that Master Jiu and Jiu Fujin were also thinking about a few mistresses, so I went to the house and went to pay respects to Master Ten..."
He also brought letters from the 10th, 5th and 4th princes.
He lived in the back room of the Prince's Mansion. No one else knew about it for a long time after he returned, including the tenth elder brother and the fourth elder brother.
As for the fifth elder brother, Master Shi sent someone to invite him.
Fu Qing touched the back of his head, looked at Cao Shun, and said with admiration: "No wonder Lord Jiu likes to boss you around. You are always busy on errands. You are so thoughtful..."
Cao Shun said modestly: "I am a bodyguard in name only. Unlike the rich master, I am working as a general servant under Master Jiu..."
