When I arrived at the Ministry of Internal Affairs to check in, the twelfth elder brother had already arrived.
It's just that the same house seems much deserted.
Seeing the ninth elder brother come in, the twelfth elder brother got up.
Seeing that he looked okay, Brother Jiu felt relieved.
Returning to a familiar place, he looked at the spacious room and the empty big bookcase. He walked around in the past and sighed: "It is better to have a check-in room in the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The serious north room has a spacious room. Don't you think it's better?"
I know that the duty room at the Ministry of Revenue is in the east wing, but I don’t know how my fourth brother can bear it. It’s cold now and it will be hot in the summer.”
The twelfth elder brother heard this and said worriedly: "What should we do? The ministry's regulations are not as good as those of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the ninth brother will suffer in Xia Tian..."
Brother Jiu touched his chin and said: "Let's deal with it. It's not easy to be picky now. Let's wait until summer... wait until summer!"
The construction of the Rehe Palace will be completed this year, and when the Queen Mother goes there to escape the summer heat, will the couple be able to take advantage of it just like they did in the 37th year?
Even if he didn't succeed and stayed in the capital, Si Age would be a guard or a member of the South Study, and no one would be watching him all day long, so he could just stay away from work.
The ninth elder brother didn't feel uncomfortable anymore after he had the answer. He asked the twelfth elder brother: "Is grandma feeling better? How do you feel about the medicated foods that are used to maintain the intestines and stomach?"
Grandma Su Ma has two living habits that are not well understood by others. One is that she does not take medicine, and the other is that she does not bathe often.
I don’t know whether it was because she believed in the Immortality Heaven or because she had some great ambitions, but the old lady persisted all her life.
The one who took a bath would scrub once a year on New Year's Eve; the one who didn't take medicine really didn't drink a sip, even if the emperor gave me medicine.
That's why the twelfth elder brother hurried back from Rehe when he heard that Grandma Su Ma was ill.
Brother Ninth had no impression of Aunt Su Ma. He had met her several times in the Queen Mother's Palace before entering the study room, so naturally there was no friendship between her and her.
However, because of the twelfth elder brother, the ninth elder brother also respected Aunt Su Ma a little more, and gave the twelfth elder brother some of the medicinal recipes that he had eaten to nourish the stomach.
I also prepared another portion of dendrobium and millet brought back from Shanxi for Brother Twelve.
The twelfth elder brother said: "It's better. I've asked people to prepare medicinal meals for my grandma. Her favorite is yam and millet porridge. She also said that millet is good and contains rice oil..."
Brother Jiu said: "There are still some in the house. I will send you some later."
The twelfth elder brother was not polite and said: "Thank you, ninth brother."
Brother Jiu came here just to ask about this. Now that he knew that Grandma Su Ma's condition had improved, he was ready to leave.
He thought of the treat that Prince Cheng's palace was going to give him, and said, "Did you receive the third brother's post? Later, your tenth brother and I will also treat you. When the time comes, you can take your younger brothers and sisters out to have a banquet to relax for a few days, so as not to be bored in the palace."
"
The twelfth elder brother was about to ask the ninth elder brother this, so he nodded and said: "I received it yesterday afternoon, and I was just about to ask the ninth elder brother. Although it is me and Fujin who were invited on the post, after all, the female family has to leave the palace.
Is it convenient?”
Brother Jiu said: "Why is it inconvenient? My sisters-in-law will all go when the time comes, and it's not bad if my brothers and sisters don't go, but you just remember to report..."
At this point, he remembered that the nobleman was not in charge and could not decide, so he said: "Let the younger siblings and the thirteenth younger siblings find time to report to the Crown Princess..."
The Crown Princess has now returned to the palace and is not in Haidian.
Although they are equals, the Crown Princess holds the power of the palace, so it is right to report to her.
The twelfth elder brother nodded and said: "Well, then let me, Fujin, take the thirteenth younger brother and sister to Yuqing Palace..."
It was already past Chenzheng, so Brother Jiu left the palace and went to Hubu without any further delay.
When he arrived at the check-in door, Brother Jiu felt a little guilty. He took out his pocket watch and took a look. He saw that it was two quarters of an hour later than the previous few days.
He took a breath, picked up the curtain and went in.
What's there to feel guilty about?
He is a Lord Baylor, how can he still order Mao?
Brother Jiu straightened his neck.
Huh?
The check-in room was actually empty!
Brother Ninth was very surprised.
According to what he knew, the fourth elder brother arrived at the household department at the second quarter of the first lunar month every day.
Where is this person?
He told He Yuzhu: "Go and ask the person on duty whether the Fourth Master is not here, or whether he is here and has gone out..."
He Yuzhu went down in response and asked someone to inquire.
After guessing how long it would take to have a cup of tea, He Yuzhu came back after inquiring about the news.
"Sir, it's someone from the imperial court who has sent word to Fourth Master to go to Changchun Garden..."
Brother Jiu raised his eyebrows, but he was not surprised at all.
The fourth elder brother is also among the eldest sons. In the past few years, he has assisted in the Yongding River Works and Household Department errands, as well as promoted new grain varieties. To be honest, his contribution is no less than that of the third elder brother.
The results of it?
This time, only one was promoted to the third elder brother, leaving behind the fourth elder brother.
Brother Ninth couldn't help but rejoice in his misfortune.
He has a good relationship with his fourth brother, so naturally what he wants to see is not the fourth brother’s jokes, but wants to see the emperor’s jokes. Unfortunately, he is just making random guesses in his mind and cannot witness them with his own eyes.
Since he asked people to come over to see you, he was probably trying to coax him with nice words.
Tsk tsk!
As a partiality, Ama only wants to fool the children. If he wants to fool his son who is in his twenties, he probably feels guilty himself.
At this moment, there was movement at the door. It was the hall master who wanted to see me.
On weekdays, the ninth elder brother didn't have much contact with the officials of the Ministry of Household Affairs. It was the fourth elder brother who dealt with it. Now that the fourth elder brother was away, the ninth elder brother was afraid of delaying any serious business, so he asked someone to come in.
The man came in and called Qian'er and said: "Slave Dong Hui has seen Jiubele..."
Brother Jiu raised his hand and called out. He was a little surprised. He glanced at the man and said, "You're not looking for Fourth Brother, but you are looking for me?"
The man was young, in his forties.
At this age, he is still in charge of the sixth rank. He is not a Spyker supplementary officer. He should be an ordinary official student. To enter the sixth rank, he has to work hard from the eighth and ninth ranks.
The manager said: "Sibeile told the slave this morning to just come to you directly."
After hearing this, Brother Jiu looked forward to it and said, "Then what are you looking for?"
He had been reading the files for more than half a month, and his eyes were dazzled. Could it be that an errand was coming?
The man said: "Sibele asked people to clear out a few side rooms a few days ago, and the walls are also papered. They can be moved in today."
Brother Jiu was really surprised. He somehow felt that the change of house was probably due to him.
When I first checked in here at the beginning of the month, I felt the room was cool and cool, and I coughed for a long time. I drank Chuanbei loquat ointment and felt better.
He was a little touched in his heart, but he also knew that his fourth brother was like this and always loved and protected his younger brother.
He said: "Then let's go and take a look. You can take the people to move. Just be careful and keep the study."
The manager responded and ordered people to come and pack things. He took Brother Jiu to see the ward room that had been moved out.
In this courtyard, diagonally across from the east wing, is the west wing of the north house.
It is actually a three-room structure, one light and two dark.
The interior is covered with snow-white wallpaper, which looks spotless.
Brother Ninth was very satisfied with what he saw. What he was most satisfied with was that there were two rooms, one in the east and the other in the east!
Doesn’t that mean that we don’t need to be under the nose of Si Age anymore?
Two brothers can share a room.
It's just that it is a wing room after all, and the room is a bit small. Each room is eight feet wide and one and a half feet deep.
Even so, it is more spacious than two brothers sharing a wing.
What’s rare is that the west room also has a fire pit.
Brother Jiu was not polite and ordered the manager: "Put the table directly in the west room..."
The east position is respected, this is also in line with the rules.
The manager responded and led people to move Brother Jiu's tables and chairs to the west room of the penthouse.
There was only one table and one chair, which looked empty.
Brother Jiu walked around in a circle and told He Yuzhu: "Just remind me, I will bring some things from the mansion to decorate the house tomorrow..."
He Yuzhu agreed and said: "I can place two pots of crabapples and a tank of goldfish to keep my eyes open..."
Brother Jiu said: "Go back and pick two suitable pen stand mounts and pen holders..."
He has always been soft-spoken and not tough-minded, so with his brother's love, it was inevitable that he would worry about his fourth elder brother.
In the past few years, he had often been in front of the emperor, but he knew that Khan Amma's temper was getting weirder and weirder. Sometimes he was like a child and needed to be coaxed, and sometimes he was mean, which made him angry for no reason.
