Brother Ten said: "But Brother Ninth, this is not a long-term solution. If you do this twice, you won't be able to hide the matter."
The ninth elder brother is in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Who believes that he has nothing to do with him?
Last year, the Accounting Department was hit by Third Brother and took the blame. Can someone take the blame this time?
Brother Ninth Brother knew that he was worried, so he hurriedly said: "Don't worry, Khan Ama said not to let me get involved, and Fourth Brother also told me."
The tenth elder brother: "..."
I feel more and more worried.
He said: "Brother Ninth, you don't need to tell others about this kind of thing."
Brother Ninth said: "Don't worry, apart from your Sister-in-law Ninth, I will tell you and Fourth Brother."
Brother Ten had no choice but to refer to others besides himself and Sister-in-law Ninth, but Brother Ninth obviously didn't see it that way.
So unprepared, hey!
The matter has come to this, and it is useless to say more.
Brother Ten could only think of making amends and said, "How about telling the Censor Yamen the information? Let them lift the lid?"
Brother Jiu blinked and said, "It shouldn't be needed. Jin Yiren is about to die, and Khan Ama asked Zhao Chang to check him. Isn't this a coincidence?"
A ready candidate to take the blame.
If this matter is connected, Khan Ama will probably make use of it.
The tenth elder brother: "..."
What do others think of this?
The head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs is in a big hole!
He Yi, Third Brother, Jin Yiren...
It really takes one off a year.
Brother Ninth Brother said: "I am not a fool. I know that all the uncles in the Ministry of Internal Affairs are secretive. How can I still charge into the battle on my own? Don't worry. Since it is a vacation, just take your brothers and sisters to climb the mountain. Your body has been well-conditioned and you will be able to do it by yourself." Sister-in-law, let me tell you Fujin how to prepare for pregnancy. Your sister-in-law Jiu reads a lot of books."
The tenth elder brother was drinking tea and almost choked. He said hurriedly: "No, no, no need to trouble Sister-in-law Ninth!"
The fate of girls here is a matter between husband and wife. I have never heard of outsiders getting involved.
Ninth Brother was too open-minded about his words. There was no need to tell him whether Ninth Sister-in-law read more or less books.
Also, what book is Sister-in-law Jiu reading? !
Even the brother who grew up spanking his little naked child didn't say anything about the bed.
The tenth prince interrupted his conversation and said: "According to the time of the calendar year, the beautiful women who stayed in the palace before the Longevity Festival will leave the palace, right?"
Brother Jiu nodded and said: "Well, I will leave the palace on the fifteenth day, and the marriage will be arranged after the Wanshou Festival."
The tenth elder brother said: "I heard that Concubine Hui's mother met the Princess of the Tong family?"
A total of twenty beautiful ladies stayed in the palace.
Concubine Yi stayed with the Holy Emperor in Changchun Garden. Concubine Hui, Concubine De, Concubine Tong and Concubine Xianfu were also present in the palace.
However, Concubine Tong and Concubine Xianfu were not qualified to summon beautiful women.
The only ones who could be trusted by the emperor to intervene in the talent show were Concubine Hui or Concubine De.
There are records here at the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Brother Jiu then said: "Not only Tong Gege, but also Zhangjia Gege, Fucha Gege, Zhaojia Gege, Guarjia Gege and the two princesses from the Dong E family..."
Having said this, he added: "Yonghe Palace also summoned several princesses, probably five or six..."
The two brothers looked at each other and felt something was wrong.
If what Concubine Hui saw was what the royal family wanted to point out to the prince, were there too many people?
One is the successor Fujin, two princes are Fujin, and one is Yuqinggong Gege. These are four people.
How come there are seven candidates?
Except for Yuqing Palace, even if the other princes' palaces refer to people, they wouldn't refer to the Eight Banners Showgirls, right?
According to the previous example, they are all beautiful women from the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Brother Jiu thought deeply: "Did you also look at the palaces pointed to Prince Yu's Palace and Prince Gong's Palace?"
Those two are considered close relatives.
Moreover, the two governments did not have any promising candidates in advance.
The tenth prince nodded and said: "Maybe that's the case. The one with the most should also be from Yuqing Palace. There are two princesses in Yuqing Palace."
Who said that the heirs of Yuqing Palace looked weak now?
One is dead, the other is crippled, and only the dull one remains.
Seeking a child is imminent...
After the two brothers finished chatting, Brother Jiu returned with a bucket of fish.
Brother Shi took Shi Fujin not only to climb mountains but also to go fishing.
In addition to asking the kitchen to make crispy fish, there are also some live ones that are raised to make grilled fish.
When Brother Ninth returned home, he took the fish bucket directly to the main room.
Shu Shu saw Huan Xi and said, "It's black fish. This is good. Let's eat boiled fish at night."
Brother Jiu said: "There are several here, you can eat whatever you want."
Shu Shu said: "Then boil the fish today and grill the fish tomorrow..."
For dinner, the couple ate boiled fish with tender meat.
Mrs. Bo's taste was light, and Ning'an Hall also had a small dining room, so Shu Shu asked the dining room to make smooth fish fillets and fish porridge and send them over to add dishes.
After the young couple gave the gifts, they put it behind them.
Although there is filial piety here, it's not much, it's more of a routine.

In Qingxi Bookstore, Kangxi felt like he was ironing his papers.
He didn't praise anything in front of the ninth elder brother, but after the ninth elder brother retired, he didn't ask anyone to put away the Jiangshan bonsai. Instead, he asked Liang Jiugong to put it on the flower stand under the window.
When it was time for dinner, he specially ordered someone to go down and bring some old ginger.
The old gingers in the garden dining room are also divided into three, six or nine grades, and what is used in the imperial meal is all of the highest quality.
Not to mention other things, just the completeness, it is very gratifying.
So what Kangxi saw was just a few lumps of ginger.
He held it and compared it with the bonsai, and it turned out to be lifelike.
The color doesn't fit, but the shape has that meaning.
Kangxi said to Liang Jiugong: "Ruyi looked the same in the first year, and there are more and more tricks every year. I want to see what else he can come up with next year."
Liang Jiugong said: "I don't know what Brother Jiu is going to offer to the emperor, but I know what Master Jiu can reward me!"
"oh?"
Kangxi looked at Liang Jiugong and said, "What did I promise you?"
Liang Jiugong took out an object from his purse, one inch square, held it up and said, "Master Jiu didn't say anything, it was just a slave's guess. Master Jiu is considerate and will reward you generously."
Kangxi looked at it, dumbfounded, and said: "This bastard really has a lot of tricks!"
It turns out that it looks like a golden daddy, with circles and circles.
Liang Jiugong pointed upward and said: "The emperor has misunderstood. It's not that. It's a little fat snake."
It's a coiled snake, still chubby, and looks like a lump of cake at first glance.
Kangxi shook his head and said, "He did it deliberately."
This year is the Year of the Snake, and it is normal to make zodiac utensils to reward people, but doing it like this is just to deliberately tease people.
Liang Jiugong smiled and said: "Anyway, I guess Master Jiu will reward me with a pony next year. With the emperor's favor, I will make a fortune once a year."
Kangxi hummed and said: "Who do you think he followed because of his courage? The normal 'three festivals and two lifespans' in officialdom, he couldn't accept it safely. He insisted on sending it to the imperial court, and others couldn't wait to find excuses to accept it a few more times. "
In Kangxi's eyes, since the ninth elder brother was the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and did not reach out to make money, these normal official gains should be collected steadily, instead of thinking about adding longevity gifts to himself, or privately subsidizing Concubine Yi.
Liang Jiugong did not answer immediately, but thought for a moment and said, "Master Jiu acts fairly in the Ministry of Internal Affairs. He must be worried that he has lost his integrity by accepting these filial piety!"
Eaters are short-tongued and take advantage of others softly.
As long as Brother Jiu opens his mouth, there will be more people who want to camp in front of Brother Nine.
Like now, it's routine, and what you receive is routine. You don't have any hands on yourself. No matter it's up or down, your waist is straight.
Kangxi glanced at Liang Jiugong and said, "So you are being soft on others? Are you trying to say good things to Brother Jiu in a different way?"
"Slave talks too much!"
Liang Jiugong hurriedly patted his mouth, then patted his hand, and said: "This slave has short-sighted eyes. When he saw this golden thing, he didn't want to push it out."
Kangxi said: "Okay, don't act with me here. Just know what you can accept and what you cannot accept."
Liang Jiugong bowed and said, "I will definitely remember this."
Wei Zhu stood nearby and watched Liang Jiugong act.
Tsk tsk, this old guy is really impeccable.
As soon as I got the reward, I passed the show.
But is Master Jiu really timid?
The emperor was used to throwing money away like this.
Needless to say, both Liang Jiugong and himself were generously rewarded. Even if an ordinary little eunuch went to pass a message, he would start with two silver ingots...
