The eighth prince was surprised: "What about you? Are you paying special attention to the Ministry of Internal Affairs?"

During the prince's first engagement ceremony, the head of the House of Internal Affairs will show up, as well as a chamberlain who leads the bodyguard and a chamberlain.

Brother Jiu shook his head and said: "It's not from the Ministry of Internal Affairs..."

Thinking of this, he hesitated.

Myna is not an outsider...

But thinking of Ba Fujin, he swallowed the truth again.

Husband and wife, husband and wife...

After all, he had put so much thought into Lao Shi, and the only one he was guarding against was Ba Fu Jin.

The Eighth Fortune Jin is an elder. If he looks down on the Tenth Fortune Jin who comes from a foreign vassal and finds an opportunity to bully him, how can he make up for it?

When the time comes, it will be like my own family, if I feel offended, I will have to apologize.

"It's Khan Amma's order. Lao Shi is of high status, and he is marrying a foreign vassal princess. The first engagement ceremony should be compared to the first engagement ceremony for the prince..."

The eighth prince was shocked this time.

"What kind of waiting method?"

Brother Jiu said casually: "Khan Ama just gave an order, but did not make any regulations. It should be that the reward from Prince Fujin's parents is heavier, the prince Fujin's betrothal gift is larger, and then we add another person, it should be fine..."

The eighth prince felt a little sour in his heart.

I can't describe what it feels like.

You should be used to it by now, right?

Even princes are divided into three, six or nine levels.

The son of a noble concubine has been different since he was a child.

Even Lao Jiu, the concubine's son, is different from him.

I took advantage of myself.

If he hadn't caught up with this wave of knighthoods and was knighted at the same time as Lao Jiu and Lao Ten, the Eighth Prince wouldn't dare to think about it.

After Brother Ninth finished speaking, he also understood that Old Ten was a bit out of line.

Others will take a second look, but my brothers may not be happy with it.

He smiled and said: "Among our brothers, only Lao Shi is married to a Mongolian princess... Marriage between Manchuria and Mongolia is a national policy, and Lao Shi is half a brother-in-law..."

Brother Eighth, listen, this is indeed the truth.

When I pointed out Mongolian Princess to Lao Shi, I cut off the support of his wife and family.

In front of the prince, the concubine's son must give way.

On the contrary, for their other brothers, except for the special situation of the fifth elder brother, the wives of all other brothers are decent.

However, Khan Amma is not cruel. He has always been kind to his sons. He must have softened his heart and wanted to compensate Lao Shi for doing so.

The eighth prince felt faintly sympathetic.

The eighth prince nodded and said: "Aren't you going to the Ministry of Punishment? Let's go together..."

With that said, he took out a purse and sent it to Brother Jiu: "Put this away..."

"what?"

Ninth Brother picked it up loudly.

Opening the wallet, there were actually several large banknotes inside.

They are all worth one thousand taels, and there are five of them.

Brother Jiu was unhappy and stuffed his wallet into his hand.

"Myna, what are you doing?"

The eighth elder brother said: "You first pay off the fifth brother's debt..."

Brother Jiu hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Don't worry about it. This time I went out, my brother behaved well, and got the reward from Khan Ama and our mother-in-law, and I am ready to return it... Five thousand taels of it are the Ministry of Household Notes.

I didn’t ask anyone to change it, it was only delayed for the past two days..."

Brother Eight still handed it over.

"Keep it then, your skins have all spread out, and you will be preparing for the New Year's gift soon, which is also an expense..."

Brother Ninth said with a bit of pride: "Bago, you forgot, my younger brother is on an errand...and this 'three festivals and two birthdays'...there is no shortage of new year gifts..."

"Then... where is Lao Shi's wedding gift?"

Brother Eighth said: "Why don't you keep it, and then we can provide the supplement to Old Ten..."

Brother Jiu shook his head and said: "I won't give him this. He is a rich man. He is richer than us, so there is no need for us to subsidize him..."

The eighth brother's smile was a little weak, and he nodded: "Yes, the tenth brother is a rich man..."

The ninth elder brother really refused to accept it, so the eighth elder brother had no choice but to take back the purse.

The two brothers left the Ministry of Internal Affairs and headed forward.

After leaving the gate of the Imperial City, the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry is to the east and the Yamen of the Ministry of Punishment is to the west.

The two of them should part ways.

The eighth elder brother didn't stop, seeing what he meant, he wanted to follow the ninth elder brother to the Ministry of Punishment.

Brother Jiu saw this and stopped in his tracks.

He was not willing to follow the fourth child and say soft words in front of the Eighth Brother.

"Oh, Brother Bago, please go and do your work. You don't need to accompany me..."

Brother Eight noticed his awkwardness and said with a smile: "It's okay, I'm not busy right now..."

The ninth elder brother refused, and pushed the eighth elder brother and said: "Don't delay if you are not busy, go and work hard..."

The eighth prince smiled and did not persist.

Brother Jiu waved his hand and walked briskly to the Xingbu Yamen.

The eighth elder brother looked at the ninth elder brother's back and felt a little cold.

got windy.

He tightened his clothes and turned around...

At this moment, Brother Jiu had already entered the Penal Department Yamen.

The yellow belt around his waist is golden, and he bows forward to hit Qian in a clever pen-post style.

Brother Jiu said: "Where is Sibeile?"

The official was a clever man. He weighed Brother Jiu's age and asked tentatively: "But Master Jiu..."

There are many yellow belts, but the golden ones are reserved for princes only, and they come in like this to look for people.

Brother Ninth nodded reservedly: "That's right, I'm looking for Sibeile if you have something to do..."

In this post, I personally took Brother Jiu to a side room.

Fourth brother is inside, sitting behind the big case and reading the files.

Brother Jiu stood at the door and watched for a while. No one looked up, so he cleared his throat.

Brother Si heard the noise and raised his head.

Seeing Brother Jiu, his face showed surprise.

Brother Jiu didn't go in, but stood directly at the door and asked: "Well, Fourth Brother, I wonder if you are free the day after tomorrow..."

The fourth elder brother stood up and asked without answering: "What happened the day after tomorrow? What's the matter..."

Brother Jiu then stepped in, thinking he was here to ask for help, but he was a bit more honest than usual.

"Prince Fu Jin of Abahai County came to court, and Khan Ama ordered that the first wedding ceremony of the tenth child should be brought forward, that is, the last one..."

Brother Si heard this and understood the reason.

Everyone knows about Da Fujin's condition, which may be the reason for the rush of life.

He nodded and said: "I understand. When the time comes, I will accompany you and Lao Shi to the inner hall..."

Brother Jiu breathed a sigh of relief, and his voice was much lighter: "It's just trouble for Fourth Brother. When the time comes, you, Eighth Brother, and younger brother, the three of us will go together..."

After hearing this, Brother Si hesitated and said, "Three people? Not two?"

Brother Ninth said in a loud voice: "Khan Amma said that Lao Shi is of high status, and he is marrying Princess of the foreign vassal. The initial ceremony will be held..."

The fourth elder brother nodded and said: "So that's how it is, Khan Ama's benevolence, that's how it should be..."

Brother Jiu agreed: "Yes, yes, Khan Ama has always attached great importance to Mongolia. This is also a marriage... The eldest daughter cares for Mongolia, the title and dowry have to be raised, let alone the prince..."
