Walnut cheered up and went to deliver things to the palace. Not just three copies. In addition to Qianqing Palace, Shou'an Palace and Yikun Palace, Yuqing Palace and Prince's Palace also gave a copy.
Brother Jiu has not come to Qianqing Palace to see you. Yours sincerely.
"Tuyi" arrived first. After listening to this, Kangxi learned about the return of Brother Nine, and asked Liang Jiugong: "Brother Nine has not entered the palace?" Liang Jiugong said: "Master Jiu came over before he came, and when he knew that a few bachelors were there, he went to the Ministry of Internal Affairs I went to the Yamen and said I would come back before it is too late." Only then did Kangxi look at the order presented by Brother Jiu.
There are two deer, two roe deer, two fish two and a half feet long, two catties of river shrimps, and eighteen catties of various kinds of vegetables.
As soon as Kangxi thought about these various things, he knew that they were put together from several places. He told Liang Jiugong: "The fresh tribute from Heilongjiang has arrived. Ask the imperial kitchen to make Feilong soup, add an egg roll, and make two plates of Dongzi dishes..." Liang Jiugong agreed and went down to deliver the message.
Master Jiu is getting more and more famous. Before, he was always rushing to the food counter to get his meal, shamelessly for fear of being driven away. This time, he came to the meal counter.
The emperor also pampered her. Feilong soup is the favorite drink of Brother Jiu. Egg rolls can’t be eaten outside the house... The Yamen of the House of Internal Affairs.
The ninth elder brother looked at the twelfth elder brother and said, "Huh? Why are you still fat?" The twelfth elder brother was sixteen years old, and it was the time when his body was undergoing surgery. He used to be as thin as a bamboo pole, but now he looks like a fat man. .
But something still wasn't quite right. Brother Ninth looked at him carefully and said, "Is this fat? Why are these eyes swollen?" Brother Twelve glanced at Brother Ninth and said, "Brother Ninth, why didn't you write to the Yamen?" Leave him alone. , I was afraid that something would go wrong and people would tell me, I couldn’t sleep well every day, and maybe because winter was here, my appetite also increased. In one month, I actually gained more than ten kilograms, which looked like I had gained weight.
If Shu Shu were here, she would understand that this is
"Stress fertilizer". The ninth elder brother said: "Why bother with that? You can decide the small things, but the big ones involve Mr. Ma and Mr. Ha?" The twelfth elder brother frowned and said: "I don't dare to alarm Mr. Ma and Mr. Ha." No matter it is The Ministry of Household Affairs and the Inspectorate are the busiest at the end of the year.
There is indeed nothing major going on in the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The twelfth elder brother thought of the official affairs and said: "Ninth brother, the old house in Longkodo has been rented to Master Fahai, and Yue Xing'a has also returned to the Fahai family to educate him; in addition, he has taken care of Sanjin in the back street. It was Bu Xi who rented it, and Mrs. Long San moved in. It was all ordered by Khan Amma to the Ministry of Internal Affairs." Brother Jiu had long forgotten about the Tong family, and he didn't know the follow-up until he remembered it this time.
"Did you adopt Yue Xing'a to Fahai?" Brother Jiu asked curiously. Both Tong Guowei and Longkodo and his son were convicted and their bodies were whitened.
Although Fa Hai is a Zhima official, he is here at this age, working in the study room, and has a promising future. He is in his thirties and has no son and a half daughters.
According to outsiders, it was because Fahai's childhood in the palace was not warm and his clothes were thin, so he got sick from the cold, which affected his children.
At that time, he, the second master of the palace, was not regarded as a master and placed with his servants. The twelfth elder brother shook his head and said: "No, he should be asked to raise Yue Xing'a." The ninth elder brother still remembered Yue Xing'a. When Longkodo invited guests on September 25, Yue Xing'a followed his uncle Fahai. Welcome guests around.
He is said to be ten years old, but like his twelfth brother, he was born in the twelfth lunar month and is actually only eight years old. He follows his mother and looks honest and cowardly.
Brother Ninth had a very good impression of Fahai, who was regarded as a model of self-reliance among noble children, so he said: "Ahma Khan has chosen a good person. The only one with the most upright character in the Tong family is Fahai." Twelveth Brother I have no comments.
Although Fahai was the teacher of the Thirteenth and Fourteenth Elders, he also taught the Twelfth Elder the Law of the Qing Dynasty.
It was not easy for him to comment on Fa Hai's behavior, so he only told Brother Jiu: "Long Keduo was buried in the Tong Family Blessed Land, and his body was buried in white. However, he did not mention his guilt again. His wife and children should be exempt from punishment." Brother Jiu thought of a person and said, "Is there any movement in the Zongren Mansion? When will Li Si'er be born?" Li Si'er is a capital offender, but in his belly is the blood of a commoner of the Tong family.
Longkodo is gone, and there is only one legitimate son. The bloodline of the concubine was also doubtful, so the Tong family will take care of whether Li Si'er gives birth to a boy or a girl.
It is difficult to raise a child, and if Yue Xing Ali cannot survive, or if there are no sons in the future, there will be multiple bastards, and the bloodline will be cut off.
If there are multiple concubines, it will be embarrassing. Although it will not fall into your hands in the future, it will not be possible to marry normally, so you can only marry low.
The twelfth elder brother said: "A lot of people asked about it a while ago, saying that there are still three months left, and he should be born in the first month..." The ninth elder brother curled his lips and let go of the matter.
No wonder outsiders say
"Everything prospers when a family is harmonious." This disharmony leads to rapid decline. Peng Chun is a meritorious veteran of the Eight Banners. What is the situation at home now?
Originally, the two direct branches of the same family, a duke's house and an uncle's house, were the horns of each other. They were still the first noble family in Zhenghongqi. However, there was an internal strife last year, and their shortcomings were immediately exposed.
Nowadays, the Dutong Mansion looks respectable. It is not difficult for the children in the Duke's Mansion to come out to fill the vacancies after their filial piety period has expired. But if they still want to have the real power of Dutong and Deputy Dutong, there is no chance.
After talking to the twelfth elder brother for a while, the ninth elder brother also turned over the paperwork. After a month, the Prime Minister of Twelve Prince is really good.
There were several complicated official affairs, and Gao Yanzhong was there, which was also a success. Gao Yanzhong happened to be on duty today. Hearing that Brother Jiu was here, he came over to say hello.
In less than three years, he went from a low-ranking steward in the imperial kitchen to a full-fifth-rank head doctor, all thanks to the help of his ninth elder brother.
Although he recommended himself in the middle and downgraded his rank to do the ceremony of the Prince's Mansion for a year, he still gained a lot and even registered in front of the emperor.
"Slave, please greet Master Jiu..." Gao Yanzhong came in and gave a Qian'er salute. Brother Jiu helped him and said: "Okay, don't be so polite. You are not an outsider. I took a special look when I entered the palace. The roads in the imperial city are well paved. It looks much neater." Gao Yanzhong got up, Said: "It's all because of Master Jiu's instructions and Mr. Zhang personally watching that I didn't dare to play in the lake. I hurriedly laid it out before it got cold." Brother Jiu said: "Has Gao Bin chosen a date to get married? When will it be? ?" Gao Yanzhong said: "It's the twenty-fifth of the twelfth lunar month. Master Jiu will be free then, so come over for the wedding banquet." Brother Jiu began to worry, and said, "Is the house enough to live in? Do you want to move into the hospital?" Gao Yanzhong's family lived with a There are only about ten rooms in a separate small courtyard.
Gao Yanzhong hurriedly said: "That's enough. They will live with us for a year and then let them rent the yard alone." Brother Jiu thought of Gao Yanzhong's left collar and said: "Gao Bin wants to go out. Starting is very important. You Give the left collar directly to Gao Bin, so that the starting level can be higher." Although it is a family matter of the Gao family to pass down this worldly position, Brother Jiu feels that he is qualified to speak.
This is what he asked for for the Gao family, which made the Gao family become a middle-class family in the world. The purpose at that time was to reward merit, not only for Gao Yanzhong's merit, but also for Gao Bin.
Gao Yanzhong listened with hesitation. Brother Jiu felt unhappy when he saw it. He stared and said, "What? Are you thinking about the eldest son and grandson, or are you thinking about the youngest son?" Isn't the eldest son a military attaché?
It's already classy. As for the youngest son, Gao Bin said that he has a talent for reading and plans to take the Eight Banners imperial examination when he grows up. If he fails, he will take the imperial examination of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
If Gao Yanzhong was partial, Brother Jiu wouldn't watch. What? Those in the middle deserve to suffer?
Gao Yanzhong hurriedly said: "The slave's left collar is originally meant for Gao Bin. He can transfer it at any time. It's just that Gao Bin is out. His age and experience are here, so he should not be too low. Otherwise, his future will be ruined and the impact will be small." It's important to improve people's livelihood." Brother Jiu didn't expect that this was what he was worried about.
He shook his head and said: "Didn't you start from Assistant Zuoguan? Then if you become a county magistrate of the eighth grade or a prefecture judge of the seventh grade, you may not be able to get past the fifth grade in your life; but if you become a county magistrate of the sixth grade or a general judge of the sixth grade Starting from the beginning, the fifth rank has passed in more than ten years!" Although he has not entered the court, he also has a general understanding of the officialdom.
For local officials, the most difficult threshold for promotion is the fifth rank; for the capital, it is the third rank.
If you have been promoted, and you still have years left, it will be easy to be promoted later; if you cannot be promoted, there are many local officials who will be stuck in the fifth or sixth grade for their whole life.
Gao Yanzhong still did not change his words and said: "If you enter the Sixth Department, how can you praise me? I can only be grateful to my family. But if you want to be released, the county government level is not easy to miss. You have to temper yourself before you can move up. Otherwise, all the talk on paper will affect the livelihood of the people and the dignity of the court." Brother Jiu snorted and said, "Gao Bin is already a man and has his own ideas. You can directly make the decision for him, so you are not afraid of complaints?" It's a bit roundabout. ah.
No wonder I didn't get promoted after working in the imperial dining room for more than 20 years. Brother Ninth couldn't help but curse. Gao Bin is young but always smart. If he hires a few experienced masters, what else does he have to worry about?
Gao Yanzhong said truthfully: "Without Master Jiu as my backer, I wouldn't be able to be so calm. But with Master Jiu here, when major achievements are made in the future, no one will pressure him. I hope he has laid a good foundation." "Brother Jiu said helplessly: "Okay, I was thinking before his wedding that if he wanted to pick someone with a higher grade to make up for whatever he lacked, it would be honorable to get married. Since you said that, then I'll discuss it with Sibeile and see. What kind of arrangement?" Now Gao Bin is no longer his, he is just working as an errand beside Brother Si.
If Gao Bin was to fill the vacancy, it would make sense for the fourth elder brother to step in and change his name, but that was his biological brother and he would not argue with the ninth elder brother.
Gao Yanzhong was extremely grateful and said: "Master Jiu has been so kind to me, and I can't repay my family. I only hope that Master Jiu and Fujin will be in harmony, and that all the young masters will be healthy..." Brother Jiu waved his hand and said: "Okay, don't do it. Try to hold back your good words, and pretend that you are embarrassed by the difference, even if you are right..." In the Yikun Palace, Walnut sat for half an hour, and explained the whole trip in detail.
Shu Shu sent her to the palace not only to give her multiple rewards, but also to prepare for inquiries from the Queen Mother and Concubine Yi.
In the past month, big and small things have happened constantly, and the palace must have received news. How could this elder not care about him?
Although tomorrow is a day for greetings, there are so many people and it is not the time for Shu Shu to elaborate.
After Walnut entered the palace, except for the things in the imperial dining room, which were handed over directly to the master of the imperial dining room, when he arrived at Ningshou Palace, he was left to talk for two quarters of an hour, talking about the situation on the road.
What I picked out naturally were words that could be said. Such as the fish in the Miyun Chaohe River, the fishing Mongolians who have thrived in the Jehol Gorge for hundreds of years, and the harvest from the siege around the palace.
The Queen Mother listened with yearning, and her previous worries were gone. The young couple had a good time and were not frightened by the others.
When he arrived at Concubine Yi's place, Walnut received orders and talked more than Ningshou Palace and stayed longer.
Including when he encountered a bear in Miyun, Brother Jiu was frightened and took medicine. He only regained his energy after arriving at the paddock. As a result, the rice preparations for the stewards were short. Brother Jiu asked people to buy food while organizing the guards to march around. Everyone had three meals a day. The meat is all injured...
