Chapter 1842: Rotation (rolling to ask for monthly votes)
Chapter 1843: Rotation (rolling to ask for monthly votes)
It was just a trivial matter, so Brother Jiu nodded in agreement.
He looked at the Thirteenth Brother with a half-smile but said, "Apart from caring about old friendships, is there nothing else to do?"
It was both ginseng and sea cucumber. No one else knew it, but Thirteen Fujin definitely knew it.
This thirteenth brother is really good at coaxing people.
The Thirteenth Brother admitted it honestly and said: "My younger brother Fujin doesn't worry about my aunt either. He is thinking about my aunt."
Brother Ninth nodded and said: "My siblings are of good character. Among relatives, there are always many people who add to the cake, but few who provide help in times of need."
The two sisters are both daughters of high-ranking officials. When it came time to get married, one was the direct descendant of the prince, Fujin, and the other was the youngest daughter-in-law of a down-and-out university scholar. Their circumstances were very different.
It's very rare to think of helping someone at this time.
The thirteenth elder brother nodded and said: "My younger brother Fujin has a cheerful temperament and is also generous and tolerant."
Brother Jiu raised his eyebrows without commenting.
The prince Fu Jin in the palace, under the nose of his father-in-law and mother-in-law, is not gentle, how can he be jealous?
There is no choice at all.
I can only say that he is a smart person.
The thirteenth elder brother is not an ordinary little elder brother. He is one of the most respected princes in the imperial court. His biological mother is also the favored empress of the throne in the palace.
The thirteenth elder brother said: "It's not just because of my aunt, my father-in-law and Yi Xiang have also been friends for many years."
The two families are not under the same banner, and there was no marriage relationship before. The old men of the two families were colleagues. When they were young, they were both in the Ministry of Justice. One was a doctor and the other was a member of the foreign service, which are the superiors and subordinates.
Later, when Yisang'a concurrently served as the Minister of the Ministry of War as a bachelor, Malhan became the Minister of the Ministry of War, and the two became superiors and subordinates again.
Brother Ninth praised: "Okay, you kill three birds with one stone, even your father-in-law is pleased."
Compared with the twelfth elder brother, the thirteenth elder brother's performance is too clever.
The thirteenth elder brother knew that the ninth elder brother was also very loyal to the Yue family.
He told the truth: "I can't do much for Fujin, but it's hard work for Fujin. There are many rules and regulations when marrying into the palace, so it is better to be more comfortable when marrying outside."
Brother Jiu waved his hand and said: "Whose life can go as they wish? There are good things in the palace, but there are more rules outside. Being a aunt at home is a blessing, but it is hard when you go out. You know that it is a good thing to show sympathy to Fujin, but it is also
Don't go too far, otherwise it will attract attention to your younger siblings."
Brother Thirteen nodded.
If he hadn't been too close to his in-laws at the beginning of his wedding, there wouldn't have been a Gualja Princess.
The one who only hopes that Guarjia will be reborn this time is Gege, so that her family will not be in a situation where the eldest son is born a commoner.
The Thirteenth Brother thanked the Ninth Brother, then stood up and said, "I'm going to say a few words to the Fourth Brother and then I'll go back."
Brother Jiu waved his hand and said: "Go, go, stay up for another half day, and everyone will be free from tomorrow."
Brother Thirteen went to the east room.
Brother Jiu pointed to the package and told He Yuzhu: "Put it away. Remember to remind me to bring it to you when Iduli comes back to pay my New Year greetings."
He Yuzhu agreed and collected the package.

In the east duty room, the Thirteenth Brother couldn’t wait to talk about the follow-up to the Bagua at the beginning of the month.
"Fourth brother, Khan Ama has refuted the decision of the Ministry of Punishment and still maintains the sentence of hanging in prison and is not allowed to change his job..."
The Thirteenth Brother spoke with a bit of briskness and said: "Since that day at the court meeting, Khan Amma was not allowed to take the honorary title. I know that Khan Amma does not like these false names. Compared with the illusory name of benevolence, maintaining
The law is fair and it is more important to shock the world."
After hearing this, Fourth Brother said: "Then you can feel at ease. Finally, you don't have to set a bad precedent and let evil people take advantage of it."
The thirteenth elder brother showed admiration on his face and said: "Khan Amma's 'unkindness' in this case is the best kindness to all people in the world. Khan Amma is a well-deserved benevolent king!"
The fourth elder brother nodded. Khan Amma ascended the throne at a young age and served as emperor for forty-one years. He cherished the power of the people and restrained the powerful. He indeed deserved the word "benevolence".
Seeing that there was still a file on the fourth elder brother's desk, the thirteenth elder brother finished talking about the follow-up of the lawsuit and left quickly.
He didn't mention the reason why he came to see the ninth elder brother, and the fourth elder brother didn't ask either.
Just seeing him coming with something and leaving empty-handed, Brother Si already knew...
*
By noon, the ninth elder brother was still having dinner with the fourth elder brother.
There is a rare dish in the lunch at Jiubele Mansion.
Brother Si thought he had seen it wrong and took a closer look.
"Mother-in-law Ding? Is this planted?"
Dongzi vegetables have been around since ancient times, and all they grow are green vegetables. This is the first time I have seen wild vegetables being grown.
The couple had such a leisurely life that they could come up with these tricks.
Brother Jiu proudly said: "This is the first crop. I have been working on it for several months, but today is the first time I have picked it."
The fourth elder brother had to worry again and asked: "Is the palace showing filial piety?"
Brother Jiu nodded and said, "Well, I told Old Shi Fujin to tell her and asked her to take her into the palace this morning and pay tribute to her everywhere."
Today falls on the tenth day, which is the day when the princes and princes enter the palace to pay their respects.
Fourth elder brother: "..."
It’s not wrong to entrust it like this.
In the dipping sauce platter, in addition to dandelions, there are also cucumber strips, coriander segments, radish tassels, Chinese cabbage, and shredded green onions.
It comes with two sauces, the vegetarian one is beef sauce and the vegetarian one is watermelon sauce.
In the cold winter months, who can resist such a plate of fresh and tender side dishes?
Not only did the fourth elder brother eat well, but the ninth elder brother also ate a lot more.
When the dining table was down, Brother Si went to work again.
Brother Jiu asked He Yuzhu to pack the belongings that needed to be packed into boxes and pack them, and only waited for Shen Chu to seal them before leaving home.
There was still a quarter of an hour until Shenchu, and Brother Si came over to call for help.
I'm going to the study room.
The people from the Ministry of Revenue and others have gathered outside the Chancellor's study room.
From the four ministers to the low-ranking Baitang'a, they all wait here.
Seeing the Fourth Elder Brother and the Ninth Elder Brother coming over, everyone saluted them.
The fourth elder brother raised his hand and called out, leading the ninth elder brother to stand in front of the four ministers.
Brother Jiu was a little surprised. He thought they were here to learn how to do errands. Unlike the princes in charge, they had to stand behind the four ministers.
Looking at the calmness of the fourth elder brother and the respect of the four ministers, one knows that he was in this position in previous years.
Brother Ninth feels at ease.
There are two ministers, Manchu and Han, in the Ministry of Household Affairs. The Manchu minister makes decisions and is the highest official.
This seal is the seal of the Ministry of Household Affairs held by Man Shangshu.
When Shen Chuji arrived, the Manchu and Han ministers came. They bowed to say goodbye to the fourth and ninth elder brothers, and then the sealing ceremony began.
Manchu ministers come first and Han ministers follow.
The Han minister opened the seal box, and the Manchu minister put the official seal in it.
The seal was affixed by Han Shangshu.
Then there were the seals of the Manchu and Han ministers, also sealed in boxes one by one.
The first sealing ceremony of the Hubu Yamen has come to an end.
Wait for the yamen of the Ministry of Household Affairs, as long as they have official seals, they will be sealed, and relevant staff will also accompany them.
Level by level, they are sealed to the last grade officer.
This eliminates the need for the fourth and ninth elder brothers to come forward.
When he returned to the check-in room, Brother Ninth still felt a little uncomfortable and said: "Fourth Brother, we are walking in the Sixth Department, just running errands and doing business. When will we have our own seal?"
Fourth Brother said: "Don't you have a private seal?"
From the time they left the study room and began to learn errands, they had their own private stamps.
Brother Jiu shook his head and said, "That's different."
The fourth elder brother said: "Don't think so long-term. This is your first stop when walking through the ministry. Yesterday you were in front of the imperial court. Didn't you ask which yamen you will go to next year?"
Just seeing that Khan Ama did not arrange any new errands for the ninth elder brother in the winter, the fourth elder brother knew that he would probably transfer to another department.
I just don’t know which ministry the emperor would ask Brother Jiu to go to.
Thinking about the fourteenth elder brother who would also come out of the study room after the new year, the fourth elder brother was slightly worried.
I hope these two people don't get together.
"ah?"
Brother Jiu was surprised and said: "Does it change every year? How do I remember that Fourth Brother, you have been working in the Ministry of Household Affairs for several years, and you never change places every year?"
The fourth elder brother shook his head and said: "Some yamen last for three to five months. I was almost done with my previous round before I was transferred back to the household department."
When Ninth Prince entered the court at the beginning of the year, Hubu was his first stop. Why did he stop at Hubu?
At least half of the departments should be rotated and used according to their talents.
When he said this, Brother Ninth seemed to have some impression of Brother Si's walking in the Ministry of Justice. He had been in the Ministry of Punishment earlier, but he had never paid attention to it before.
Brother Jiu's heart was pounding and he said: "Can I choose the Yamen by myself? I want to go to the Lifan Academy..."
Regarding Mongolia, he has long been interested in it and there is much to be done.
Besides, now that I have my fifth brother in the Lifanyuan, I feel more comfortable in the past than in the Ministry of Revenue.
Speaking of this, he thought of his tenth elder brother again.
The tenth elder brother has been working in the clan's mansion since the end of thirty-seven years. He has not moved anywhere in the past five years.
The clan house is full of clan members, and Sunubeizi is a lively person. There should be no one who has wronged Brother Ten, right?
The tenth prince is a county king and a prince. As long as he is not a fool, he will not be bullied.
But sometimes, if you don't bully someone, you can still keep them at arm's length, which can hurt people.
Brother Jiu changed his mind and said: "The clan mansion is fine too. I just want to get familiar with the clan's various regulations. Once we open the mansion, we will all be clans in the future..."
