After talking about the fourteenth elder brother, the ninth elder brother thought of Gao Bin.
After the Lantern Festival, not only the Eight Banners draft will begin, but also the written examinations for the Ministry and the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Brother Ninth Brother was a little concerned but confused, and said: "Fourth Brother, that boy Gao Bin will not fail the exam, right? I also hope that after he is released to Zhili, the corn and potatoes can be harvested in the autumn, so he can cook pots in the Ministry of Internal Affairs."
The plan is well planned, one link after another. If it is delayed, it will be postponed until next year.
Brother Si said: "I found a teacher for him and asked him to refer to previous examination papers. He seems to have been studying hard in the past few months and sharpening his skills before the battle. The rest depends on whether he lives up to his expectations or not."
There happened to be a person in the ceremony in his house who was also from Bi Tie type and had taken the Bi Tie type examination.
The fourth elder brother handed over the matter of Gao Bin's examination to that person.
According to the ceremony, Gao Bin is almost stable.
Brother Jiu said: "Humph, if this kid Gao Bin dares to delay the fourth brother's errand, he will be thrown into Tongzhou and become the county magistrate, and he will stay in the eighth rank position for ten or eight years!"
Fourth Brother did not answer, he was quite satisfied with Gao Bin.
He felt that the children of the Ministry of Internal Affairs were more down-to-earth than the noble children, and could settle down and do their jobs well.
With Gao Bin's qualifications, he had served as a long-term attendant for Brother Ninth Prince before, and had some merits. He could directly replace the bodyguard by starting from the fifth rank.
But what Gao Bin was thinking about was not about rank, but about people's livelihood. He was thinking about being a local official and benefiting the people. This was a good ambition.
Brother Jiu thought of Cao Shun again and said: "Fourth brother, if you really want to talk about the manpower in my house, Cao Shun is the one who can be used. He has been with Cao Yin for six or seven years and knows everything about economic accounts. It's a pity to be an errand boy in my house. Is there anything missing in the household department?"
Cao Shun and Gao Bin were different. Gao Bin was young and had to start from scratch, but Cao Shun was in his twenties.
Not only did he practice with Cao Yin, but when he arrived at Ninth Brother's place, he also went on several errands on his own. He was able to support himself even if he traveled around.
The fourth elder brother shook his head and said: "There are many people like Shige Shiju who are worried about filling the vacancies, and there are many vacancies in the six divisions. The vacancies below the sixth rank are still flag vacancies. The flag registration is limited, starting from the fifth rank." If you are short, even if you barely get in, it won’t be easy to get promoted.”
The military attachés of the Eight Banners were transferred to civil servants of the Ministry and Academy, and they were not on the same level. The third-rank military attache supplemented the fifth-rank doctor, the third-rank and fourth-rank military attachés supplemented the fifth-rank Yuanwailang, and the fifth-rank officer supplemented the sixth-rank chief.
Therefore, if Cao Shun wants to enter the Sixth Division, this is not the right time. He must at least wait until he is a first-class guard.
This is also why Gao Bin did not fill up a bodyguard for the prince's palace first, but planned to enter the official position as a civil servant, because going from the fifth-grade bodyguard was a written post, and he had to find a vacancy first.
Brother Ninth nodded and said: "Then I understand. I'll ignore him for now. Let's see if there are any shortages in the Ministry of Internal Affairs in a few years."
There are not so many rules when it comes to employing people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Fourth Brother disapproved: "Even if he is capable, just use it for a few years. All the good ones will be given up, and there will be a bunch of messy food left."
Brother Ninth sneered.
He knew it was Guidan and Guiyuan.
It was also a coincidence that Gui Dan's Nen Nian was gone at all, and Gui Yuan's grandfather was also ill. Hearing that the younger nephew's daughter-in-law was gone, I thought that Guo Luoluo's family had to deal with several funerals this year, which made me feel uncomfortable. , fell asleep, and it was New Year's Eve.
On this new year's day, there was no way to report the funeral, so the funeral was held directly at home.
The old man was senior and old, and there were no elders above him, so he planned to stop "Qiqi". Guiyuan, like Guidan, began to observe filial piety.
There were not many guards around Brother Jiu, but now there were two missing, which made them more conspicuous.
The fourth elder brother felt that the ninth elder brother was soft-hearted and had so many freeloaders and few people doing serious work.
Brother Ninth Brother was afraid that he would continue to ramble on, so he interrupted his conversation and said: "By the way, Brother Four, where can Brother Thirteenth go to learn the errands first? Are you sure?"
Brother Si said: "Household Department, come here and take a look at the general ledger of Hedao in the past few years."
He spoke more firmly, and it was obvious that the emperor had revealed his words.
Brother Jiu smiled and said: "That's really good. With Fourth Brother here, you don't have to worry about being bullied."
The fourth elder brother said: "No one dares to bully the prince, just because he is afraid that people with ulterior motives will come up and kidnap the elder brother."
The ninth elder brother nodded and said: "The prince's elder brother is just a delicious pastry. Who doesn't want to take a bite? I want to keep the twelfth elder brother for a few more years to learn errands in the Ministry of Internal Affairs. I am just worried about this. It is not an obvious disrespect. That’s bullying, it’s not good to be taken advantage of..."
Before he finished speaking, something was wrong in the Fifth Institute, and there seemed to be some noise.
The ninth elder brother and the fourth elder brother stopped talking and looked at the fifth house.
With a "clang", the door of the fifth house was pushed open, and a person ran out. It was the eunuch in charge of the fourteenth brother, and he ran away.
Seeing the fourth and ninth elder brothers, the manager came to a sudden stop and said hurriedly: "Fourth Master, Ninth Master, Brother Hongyu is sick, and we need to call the imperial doctor!"
The fourth elder brother and the ninth elder brother were shocked when they heard this.
Brother Jiu quickly pointed to his horse and said: "Don't delay, ride on my horse..."
At this time, the fourth elder brother had already gone to the fifth place.
Brother Jiu saw this and hurriedly followed.
The lights were brightly lit in the garden, and everyone was like headless flies.
The little brothers, who were still young, came to have a feast and brought their nannies and eunuchs with them.
These people were waiting in the wing, but now their energy was flowing out and they were worried.
Seeing the Fourth Elder Brother and the Ninth Elder Brother, everyone retreated to both sides.
The banquet place was in the middle hall of the front room. Before the fourth elder brother and the ninth elder brother could come in, the thirteenth elder brother rushed out, holding the unconscious Hongyu in his hands, with panic on his face.
Seeing this, he didn't dare to delay and wanted to send the person directly to Changchun Garden's imperial doctor for duty.
"Fourth brother, ninth brother!"
Seeing the two older brothers arriving, the thirteenth elder brother seemed to have a backbone and said: "Hongyu fainted and even developed a rash..."
Brother Jiu's nose twitched and he felt something was wrong. He said in surprise: "Are you drunk after eating fermented rice and eggs? No, why does the wine smell so strong?"
Brother Thirteen was stunned and looked at Hong Yu in his arms.
The smell of alcohol is definitely noticeable.
Brother Fourteen then came out, his face green and white.
Brother Jiu looked at the dining room next to him and shouted loudly: "Xiaotang, Xiaotang, bring out the milk!"
A few years ago, when Shu Shu was talking about not letting the thirteenth and fourteenth elder brothers drink, she once mentioned that children cannot bear the smell of alcohol. If they are drunk, they can use milk to induce vomiting to avoid being unable to bear it. Intoxicated by alcohol.
In the prince's case, there is milk for making milk tea.
Following the response, Xiaotang brought a bowl of milk.
Everyone looked over.
Xiaotang hesitated and said: "Master, this milk is cold, can I give it to my little brother?"
Brother Jiu took it and said, "It induces vomiting. It should be fine."
Looking at Hongyu like this, he looked like he was poisoned by alcohol. Time was of the essence and there was no time to heat it up.
The thirteenth elder brother and the fourth elder brother were nearby, and they also understood what the ninth elder brother meant.
The thirteenth elder brother still held Hong Yu, the fourth elder brother opened Hong Yu’s mouth, and the ninth elder brother poured it in while he was standing by.
It's just that Hongyu's teeth were clenched, so more milk flowed out and less milk poured in.
Brother Si's forehead was sweating, but he didn't dare to exert too much force.
"I come……"
With the sound of talking, the fourth elder brother was pushed away. It was the eldest elder brother who got the news and came over.
As soon as the mess started, Hongyu's nanny ran to the head office to report the news.
When we arrived at the fifth courtyard, this was the situation. The eldest brother saw clearly and didn't bother to ask more questions, so he took over the position of the fourth brother Du and went to pry Hongyu's mouth.
His hands were trembling, but he did not waste any strength. He pinched Hong Yu's chin and pinched the child's mouth open.
Brother Jiu took out a breath and continued to pour in, but Hong Yu was unconscious and did not swallow.
Brother Ninth Brother's forehead was also covered with sweat, so he handed the milk bowl to the elder brother and said: "Brother, try to feed it..."
After hearing this, the eldest brother immediately took the milk bowl and took a few sips of it, and then let Hong Yu ferry it in.
success!
The eldest brother continued with his second bite.
Brother Jiu turned around and urged Xiaotang to come: "Quick, quick, have another bowl!"
In the first bowl, most of the bits and pieces were scattered.
Xiaotang turned around and ran away, taking another bowl over.
The milk bowl in the eldest brother's hand was empty, so he replaced it with a new milk bowl.
This is a large soup bowl, eight inches in diameter and one and a half pounds in capacity.
After downing a bowl and a half of milk, Hongyu's belly bulged visibly.
The eldest brother looked at the empty bowl in his hand, a little at a loss, and looked at the ninth brother.
Brother Jiu couldn't make up his mind. If he drinks it again, his stomach won't be full, right?
"vomit……"
Hong Yu finally reacted, twisting his little body from a supine position to lying on his side on Brother Thirteen's arms.
"Wow, wow, wow..."
A mouthful of milk spurted out, and there was foam at the corner of the mouth.
The fourteenth elder brother was standing aside, a little dazed, unable to avoid it, and was sprayed in the face.
Brother Jiu pulled him away and said: "Why are you still stupid? Stay away, don't follow me..."
Brother Fourteen was like a puppet on strings, his body was still stiff even if he changed places.
Everyone’s eyes were on Hong Yu.
Only Hongxi stood behind the crowd, her expression not good-looking.
He clenched his fists, his heart pounding.
Things are getting big!
Brother Fourteen, the instigator, didn’t run away!
What about him?
As long as you look at the table surface, you can tell that he replaced Hongyu's fermented rice with fermented eggs for the bowl of Fu Lu Shou Xi.
Even if he said he didn't mean it, would the emperor and Prince Zhi believe it?
There are two bowls with the word "Lu" in them.
In addition to the ones on their table, there are also those from the big brother in the west.
If you change the bowl over there to this side, it will be the word "lu".
When the imperial doctor checked, he could only see that the contents of the two bowls were almost the same.
Hong Xi took two steps back, turned around and wanted to go back to the house.
I saw that Fourth Brother had arrived at the door of the main room and was instructing the two eunuchs: "Secure the room. No one is allowed to touch the things on the table!"
If something went wrong during a dinner party, Si Age would have more to think about, fearing that someone would tamper with the dinner party.
Hongxi turned around, with more cold sweat on his forehead and feeling weak.
A step too late.
No chance...
