Chapter 1350: Everyone wins the gold (asking for a guaranteed monthly ticket)
Beijing, Fuchazhai.
Brother Ninth was talking to his wife, Dai Jia.
Dai Jiashi has been worried about her daughter for the past few days, not being able to eat well or sleeping well. Today she couldn't help but ask someone to send a message to the Prince's Mansion, wanting to go there and ask questions.
As a result, the post was returned directly, and a "Nine Age Brother" was attached.
Dai Jiashi was Ma Qi's first wife. She was about the same age and was about to turn fifty. She didn't have any taboos. When her family was away and there were no other adult sons, she went directly to the front living room to meet the guests.
"It's my slave who acted rashly."
She was a little embarrassed and said: "The master asked me to rest assured. Wherever I can put it, I thought of asking Fujin to ask what the regulations are about staying in the palace."
Brother Jiu said: "I was negligent. I should have come over and told my sister. Sister, you don't have to worry. This group of beautiful girls live in Xian'an Palace, which is spacious. The House of Internal Affairs is renovating the house these days. As for the Japanese
Use the supply, and I will ask people to keep an eye on it when the time comes, so that no one will deduct it."
After hearing this, Dai Jiashi was half relieved.
As a housewife, all she cares about is food and housing.
As for the future of his daughter, it can only depend on the emperor's wishes.
Even if the ninth elder brother is the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, he can't get involved.
Brother Jiu said again: "The person in charge of palace affairs now is the Crown Princess. She is kind and considerate. Even the nuns and eunuchs arranged by her are nothing to worry about. In this draft, three princes, Fujin and one will be chosen.
The clan prince Fujin, a county prince Fujin, as well as Prince Yu's Mansion and Prince Gong's Mansion, also have to choose two generals' wives, that's seven. Those maids are very careful and will not offend anyone easily.
, not to mention the status of junior sister, which is considered to be of high status among this generation."
In Dai Jia's heart, it went back and forth a thousand times.
Although the Fucha family followed the eighth prince, their father was a bachelor and a confidant of the emperor. The emperor would not point out their daughter to the prince of the clan, most likely the prince Fujin.
There is an age difference between her and the eldest brother, and my daughter is a young girl, and her status is higher than that of the elder brother Fujin, so she will not be referred to as a stepmother.
That means pointing it to the twelfth elder brother or the thirteenth elder brother.
The two elder brothers are similar in age, but their backgrounds are different.
Dai Jiashi also thought of her thirteenth brother.
The son of Concubine Min, the youngest son whom the emperor has favored in the past two years, is excellent in both civil and military studies. It is said that he is also good-looking and is one of the best among the princes.
She didn't want to ask more questions, so as not to make two mistakes and appear to be delusional.
Ma Qi was originally in the palace, and the steward of the family came to report. He knew that Brother Jiu had gone to the house and left lunch, so he came back.
It's true that you are a student, but if you really want to just be a student and act like a teacher, you are ignorant of current affairs.
When he came back, Brother Jiu and Dai Jia had already put aside the draft and mentioned the Fu Qing family's bamboo.
Although Fu Qing was not a legitimate child, he was raised by the Dai Jia family, almost like a biological son.
Children and elders are treated in the same way.
When there is no marriage, press for marriage.
After getting married, they give birth.
It has been several years since Fu Qing got married, but there has been no movement from the couple. Dai Jia is inevitably worried.
Brother Jiu brought the good news to her and said: "When he moved, I prepared a pot of Guanyin bamboo as a housewarming gift. Not only did he have one, Erhe and Zhang Tingzhan also had one, and now both families have one."
Good news, the only thing missing is Fuqing, it should only last a year and a half."
As I get older, what I like to hear most is the good news about a new baby.
Dai Jia said happily: "I forgot about Guanyin Bamboo. I heard it is extremely efficacious, so I'll just wait for them to announce the good news."
Nowadays, Guanyin Bamboo is also sold in the world, but the price varies.
We are not fools, so we naturally know where bamboo is grown.
Jingui, who was raised in Hongluo Temple, was praised by the emperor, and it was also fulfilled by the prince.
Those bamboos of similar varieties shipped from the south are Li Guizhu.
Brother Ninth said proudly: "My family was divided into several pots last year, and there are some who are rich. Now that Junior Sister has decided on something important, I will send two pots over as a dowry for Junior Sister!"
As for the twelfth elder brother and the thirteenth elder brother, he has also prepared them.
There is no need for elder brother.
The year before last, the fifth brother sent him to various mansions, and naturally he did not miss the Prince Zhijun's mansion.
Dai Jiashi smiled from ear to ear and said, "If it were someone else, I wouldn't be greedy for Master Jiu, but I have to accept this Guanyin Bamboo shamelessly."
Brother Jiu said: "That's good. I'm not an outsider."
The two of them talked so warmly that they didn't even notice the person coming in at the door.
When Ma Qi heard these two sentences, he couldn't help but cough slightly.
Brother Jiu and Dai Jia both looked at the door, and then they realized that Ma Qi was coming, and they both stood up.
"master……"
"teacher……"
Ma Qi nodded to his wife, looked at Brother Jiu, and said, "You have learned Master Jiu's "Book of Rites", how come it's like you haven't learned it?"
How could someone come so unnoticed?
The more valuable your status is, the more measured you must be in your actions and not wanton.
The key is that Brother Nine is getting older and older and is no longer a child.
Even if they have the title of teacher and student, they should not keep in close contact, otherwise they will cause trouble to each other.
Brother Jiu smiled and said: "Teacher, don't worry, I have written it all down, and I have followed the rules on weekdays. Isn't it just a coincidence today? I am on vacation, and I thought I should come to visit my wife, so I came here in a hurry."
Dai Jiashi said from the side: "It's not the fault of Jiu Ye, it's because I have been restless and confused these days. I wanted to go over to pay my respects to Jiu Fu Jin and ask about staying in the palace."
At present, among the royal fortunes, the crown princess, the fourth fortune, the eighth fortune, and the tenth fortune are not from the draft. The big fortune, the third fortune, the fifth fortune, the seventh fortune, and Shu Shu are all drafted and have stayed in the palace.
The Dai Jia family is from the same clan as the noble Dai Jia. They have also dealt with Qifu Jin, but they are not as familiar with Shu Shu.
Brother Jiu said: "I forgot to come here. A few days ago, I saw that there was a junior sister on the show girl booklet. She will enter the palace in the middle of the year. It's right for the senior wife to be worried."
Seeing both of them excusing each other, Ma Qi raised his eyebrows, feeling a little less unhappy in his heart.
Now that the head of the house is back and there is someone to accompany the ninth elder brother, Dai Jia said goodbye to the ninth elder brother and went back to the inner house.
The teacher and the student sat down and talked.
Ma Qi was no one else, so Jiu Age told the truth.
"Master's wife wants to see me, Fujin. I understand what she means. It's just that two girls from Dong E's family left signs this year. Yesterday, they sent people to the Prince's Mansion, but I, Fujin, didn't see anyone. When I arrived at Master's house, she originally wanted to
If you want to come over, ask me to stop you. It will be more convenient for me to give orders to people at the Ministry of Internal Affairs..."
Ma Qi frowned when he thought of the two girls from Dong E's family.
He doesn't like Kari.
But the emperor wanted to pay tribute to the emperor.
Galli was greedy by nature. He even stretched out his hands in the capital, but when he got there, he would scrape the land.
But the emperor remembered his old friendship and was very generous to Ga Li.
He said: "Jiu Fu and Jin are right. It's not easy to get close. It's better to stay far away."
Brother Jiu glanced at Ma Qi carefully and said, "The circles under my sister's eyes are black, but it's normal here, teacher? Have you got the news and know who my sister is going to point out?"
Ma Qi's expression remained unchanged, neither admitting nor denying. He only said: "When the Holy Master left the capital, Master Jiu gave himself a 'holiday'? Is it like he was waiting for the imperial censor to impeach him again?"
Brother Jiu said: "It's only three days. I plan to go to the Yamen tomorrow."
Ma Qi looked at Brother Ninth and said, "If Lord Ninth intends to serve as an official in the Ministry of Internal Affairs for a few more years, you'd better not go too far."
He didn't often ask for leave before, even if he only went for half a day, he still went.
As a result, I handed over the errands to the new manager and started asking for leave, which seemed a bit stingy.
There have been a lot of speculations outside. Even among the people in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, there are also many people who are waiting for Brother Ninth to confront the new manager, so that everyone can fall in line when the time comes.
Brother Jiu looked at Ma Qi and wanted to ask, since he is the emperor, how can he not know any news about the Jin family?
The Ministry of Internal Affairs and the previous dynasty were two separate systems, but Ma Qi was still the director of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
He just pretended not to know anything, but kept his mouth shut.
Brother Ninth also restrained himself and asked about lunch.
Even for the prime minister's residence, the food is mediocre.
There were both chicken and duck, but seeing that Brother Jiu didn't like to use chopsticks, he picked two bites of cabbage with sesame sauce and ate it.
Seeing his picky look, Ma Qi could understand why the couple had been out of the palace for two years in the majestic prince's palace, and all their thoughts were on eating and drinking for more than two years.
When Brother Ninth came home, he complained to Shu Shu: "The teacher is dishonest, and he can't say anything accurate in front of me. He definitely knows who my daughter pointed out, and he also knows the reason why the Jin family came to Beijing..."
Shu Shu thought of Zhang Tingyu inexplicably. Ma Qi probably didn't have a "better than Yimo" temperament. The reason why he didn't say anything private to Brother Ninth was probably because he knew that Brother Ninth would not hide his emotions.
For Brother Jiu, it was just a temporary trip.
But for those who pay attention to Brother Nine, they are a little confused.
Is there anything big going on recently?
Brother Ninth went to Fucha House.
The one who can’t figure it out is Jin Yiren.
He also caught wind of the gossip outside.
It can only be said that the Jin family has been out of Beijing for too long, and the folk customs in Hangzhou are very different from those in the capital.
There are too many wealthy and idle people in the capital, so teahouses and gossiping are also pastimes for young and old men.
From national events to how much Dongzi vegetables cost per pound today, there is no question that everyone does not like to talk about.
The Jin family granted him an official residence in the imperial city.
In this teahouse in the imperial city, everyone loves to talk about news from the palace.
Everything is explained in great detail.
Some are true and some are just casually said.
Jin Yiren didn't know that many of these words were nonsense. He just thought that if he had a nose and eyes, then it should be true.
For example, if Brother Jiu is greedy for money, he is indeed making money through his status.
There are also many examples of people saying that Brother Jiu is petty and intolerant.
He was always "disrespectful". Prince Zhuang's cheap father-in-law, Prince Xin's former brother-in-law, and Longkodo, the eighth prince's wet nurse, were all convicted of this crime.
The first two were fine, they just resigned and were exiled. The last two, one died without any body parts, and the other was hanged.
Jin Yiren is a little numb. Is it possible that Brother Jiu's generosity in front of him is all fake?
He felt a chill running down his spine...
