Chapter 1353 Intricacies (rolling and asking for monthly votes)
Inside Chongwen Gate, the eighth prince’s private residence.
We called for a banquet at noon today, and Eighth Prince invited Jin Yiren to a banquet.
For this prince, Jin Yiren had a dealings with him once in thirty-eight years, which was like a refreshing breath of fresh air.
After the holy driver arrived in Suzhou, Ba Age was ordered to go to Hangzhou first to inspect the place to pick up the driver.
Here in Hangzhou, the person responsible for picking up the driver is Jin Yiren.
At that time, one was respectful and the other was modest, and the inspection work was completed smoothly.
When they arrived in the capital, Jin Yiren also heard the news about Eighth Prince.
When people talk about Eighth Prince, there is a lot of ridicule, but most of them are sighing.
He was once the most favored little elder brother, and when he was seven years old, he accompanied the guards outside the Great Wall. From then on, he always had his eighth elder brother outside the Great Wall.
At the age of eighteen, he was knighted together with the prince above, and he was still Dorobel.
As the old saying goes, a good man will inevitably have an unkind wife and unfilial sons.
The eighth prince is young and his knees are desolate, so the "son is unfilial" is not involved, but the "wife is unkind" is not involved.
Ba Fujin was once sent back to Prince Anjun's Mansion for correction, but the emperor personally ordered it.
If it were not for the dignity of Prince Anjun's palace, Bafujin would have returned directly without any hesitation.
Being implicated by the Eight Fortunes, the Eighth Prince was treated coldly for two or three years from the most favored younger brother.
In the middle, he was implicated by his slaves and was demoted to Beizi, but now he has been promoted back.
As for those outside who doubt that Eighth Prince has been married for many years and has no children, Jin Yiren doesn't believe it.
If everyone can tell it, it's not personal, it's just nonsense.
If this was really the case, the outside world would have been silent for a long time, and no one would dare to talk about it.
This time, the eighth prince's in-laws were chosen as the doctor, but Jin Yiren wanted to show favor to the eighth prince.
The eighth prince got the news and appreciated it. Before returning to Beijing, he sent a message to Jin Yiren and made an appointment for today's dinner.
Not in a restaurant outside, but in his private residence.
Both of them are scene people, otherwise they wouldn't have got along very well with each other the year before last.
"I had heard that the Ministry of Internal Affairs was going to add a new general manager, but I didn't expect that Mr. Jin would be transferred back to the capital. It can be seen that Mr. Jian is in the heart of the emperor, and he was supposed to take over for you. Please don't blame Mr. Jin for the delay."
Eighth Prince said.
Jin Yiren himself knew his own affairs. It was peaceful when he arrived in the capital, but he was really in a mess when he left Hangzhou.
He thought for a while and said: "Since I arrived in the capital, I wanted to pay my respects to the Eighth Master. It was no coincidence that I caught up with the Eighth Master to recuperate. The servant was also worried these days. Jiangnan Sanzhi was unusual in his official status. What happened to the Emperor?
Do you want to replace someone? Last year, the Ministry of Internal Affairs sent someone to check the accounts of San Zhi Zhi. The accounts of Hangzhou Zhi Zhi were the same as those of the other two offices, and there were no omissions. Then they were hastily transferred back to Beijing, and the servant was very uneasy..."
How could the Eighth Prince have imagined that the fault of the Jin family lies with the Guo Luoluo family, and going back further, it is Suo'etu.
He was just thinking about the relationship between the new Hangzhou weaver Sun Wencheng and the Cao and Li families.
Previously, Jiangnan was dominated by the Jin family, and the Cao family and the Li family were all in-laws of the Jin family.
In the future, Jiangnan should be dominated by the Cao family, so Sun Wencheng replaced the Jin family.
The emperor's father has been fond of old friendships in recent years.
This is the case with Dong E's family's karma, and the same should be true for Sun Wencheng.
It's just that he couldn't talk about the emperor's father, so he thought of other excuses.
He thought about the changes in the Ministry of Internal Affairs in the past few years and said: "In May last year, the Internal Affairs Office uncovered the 'nest case'. Since then, all yamen under the Ministry of Internal Affairs have investigated, and the Imperial Kitchen and Guangshuku have been the most serious.
Half of the people went down, and Khan Amma sent someone to check Sanwei. It should be for this reason. Then it will not be surprising to see that the Lord has the most seniority and outstanding achievements, and appointed the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. "
Jin Yiren said: "In terms of qualifications, although I am slightly better than Mr. Cao, I am not as good as Mr. Li. Before Mr. Li went to Jiangnan, he was already the general manager of Changchun Garden."
The eighth prince said: "Li Xu and Cao Yin, who are the third-rank managers of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, still need to earn more qualifications, but my lord has already done enough."
Jin Yiren didn't say anything else and said: "Now that I have received the grace of the Emperor and Master, I can only do my best to do my job."
The Jin family is also very lucky. As soon as they appointed the general manager of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the general manager of Changchun Garden became vacant.
The seventh child of his family is working as an errand in Changchun Garden, but he is still Yuan Cheng and has insufficient qualifications.
Brother Ninth arranged for the old man to manage the wool factory. This was really a good idea.
Jin Yiren also plans to do this. When selecting candidates for general manager, he will choose someone who is older and will retire in three or five years. This can be a good way to lay the groundwork.
Then find an opportunity to promote Lao Qi to the doctor of Changchun Garden, and then he can be appointed as the general manager of Changchun Garden...

Baiweiju, the entrance.
After Shu Shu and others came down from their meal, they arrived at the dining room. The restaurant was already full upstairs and downstairs.
Brother Ninth Brother still had some shortcomings, and said to Shu Shu: "Just leave it alone. Compared with Anjia Restaurant, it seems shabby."
The facade of Room Five looks ordinary, and the tables in the lobby are a bit messy.
Compared with Anjia Restaurant where there are only a small number of dining tables and most of them are private rooms, it looks messy.
Shu Shu said: "Go back and find a yard in Shichahai, open a private restaurant, and tidy things up when the time comes."
Brother Jiu said: "Then ask people to inquire carefully..."
In the past, Shichahai was full of stench and the river was clogged. Everyone disliked it.
Since the 27th year, the government dredged the Shichahai Sea, planted weeping willows on both sides, and planted lotus flowers on the water surface. The surrounding houses have become popular.
The twelfth elder brother stood nearby and listened to what his brother and sister-in-law were saying without talking much.
But when he heard about the courtyard in Shichahai, he said: "Brother Ninth, don't ask, I just got a Sanjin courtyard. It's in Shichahai. It's of no use. You and Sister-in-law Jiu can use it!"
The ninth elder brother looked at the twelfth elder brother and said in surprise: "Is this a private property? Who gave it to me?"
The twelfth elder brother said: "My uncle gave it to me."
His uncle is a third-grade military guard officer, and his rank is not low. It is not out of the ordinary to give a house in the inner city to his nephew for a big wedding.
Brother Jiu was not polite to him and said, "Okay, then you can send someone to deliver the key to your home later. Let's go and see if it can be used."
According to the temperament of Brother Jiu and Shu Shu, they don't like to rent shops, so they bought them at home, so they don't lack money.
But since it is my younger brother's yard, there is no need to be too polite, just use it. It is better to leave a portion of the rent to the twelfth elder brother as pocket money later than to leave the yard empty.
Shu Shu listened with a smile and said nothing else, but in her heart she drew a circle around her uncle, the twelfth elder brother.
Tuo Heqi, the future infantry commander, the princeling, the banquet, the bones are broken and the ashes are thrown away.
But the last two are still a long way off, and right now he is still serving as the third-grade chief minister.
After saying this, everyone left Di'anmen.
Because he came out with the ninth elder brother, the twelfth elder brother did not report to the guards today, nor did he bring out the guards or guards. He was followed by a young eunuch.
Shu Shu and the ninth elder brother sent the twelfth elder brother to the Shenwu Gate and watched the people enter the palace before leaving.
When they got to the carriage, Shu Shu said: "You're welcome, I'll just use it."
Brother Ninth said: "This is so considerate of me. We are about to get married before we see each other, but my bald brother still only gets fifty taels of silver per month. What is enough for him? He can pay more for more rents, but he can't.
When the time comes, the prince's dining room will be ready, but he will be asked to use money to supplement the food expenses."
Shu Shu only said: "If the twelfth elder brother bought back the private property, since it was a gift from his uncle, if he knows that we used it later, don't blame us anymore in his heart."
Brother Jiu waved his hand and said: "Don't worry, Tuo Heqi is not that kind of person. He acts respectfully and carefully, which is also common in the palace in the past two years."
Shu Shu thought about the words "be careful" in her heart.
Otherwise, he would not have been promoted to the rank of infantry commander. This position must be filled by Kangxi's confidants.
However, after more than ten years, I have gained a high position and power, and it is normal for me to drift away.
Not long after the two returned home, the eunuch beside Brother Twelve came over.
But for the honest kid, in addition to the keys, there are also house deeds and land deeds.
Brother Jiu looked speechless and said, "Really, what else are you using this for?"
Shu Shu said: "Copy the address and bring it back tomorrow..."

I cried and begged for my monthly ticket.
The next update will be around 12 noon on August 4th
