Chapter 897: Establishing rules and monthly tickets)
Brother Ten had no objection, so the two brothers left Changchun Garden.
After the beginning of spring, the tenth elder brother has changed his mount and no longer rides in the car. Now he is on the ninth elder brother's carriage.
The ninth elder brother remembered that the breeding population of the Ministry of Internal Affairs was divided into new left collars, and asked the tenth elder brother: "At that time, do you want to mention the captive population that the imperial concubine's mother had commanded? Now there is an opportunity..."
A new left collar is created, and the chief officer is the fourth-rank left collar.
There are two types, one is the left leader of the world government, which is the kind that Jiu Age asked for from Gao Yanzhong.
One is the left collar among the public. They are not fixed in which family. They are chosen from among the left collared people. They are appointed by the superiors.
This is a good opportunity to advance to the next level. With the top rank of the fourth rank, you can fill in the rank of a higher rank officer in the future.
So it is natural to arrange things for your own good.
The tenth elder brother shook his head and said: "No, there is no merit. Don't bother with them. Ninth brother, just take it easy and promote one of Gao Yanzhong. Forget other favors. Didn't the Ministry of Internal Affairs set up a Yushi Yamen? Careful.
If you are targeted later, you will still have to grind your teeth..."
Brother Jiu said: "It's just a matter of helping others. If I don't get involved, the people below will get involved too..."
However, the tenth elder brother reminded him that he should be careful about this matter in the future and not let the wealthy family get involved and regard this matter as an opportunity for favors.
If he arranges it, he can light the lamp, but no one else is allowed to set it on fire.
As the carriage entered the official road, the sound of horse hooves could be heard ahead.
He Yuzhu sat at the front of the car and turned around and said, "Sir, it's Prince Zhi and Sibeile..."
Brother Jiu picked up the curtain and said: "Make way and stop..."
The carriage stopped by the roadside.
The eldest brother also saw He Yuzhu, looked at the carriage, and reined in the horse.
"Why don't you return to the city sooner or later?" The eldest brother looked at the sky and asked.
The ninth elder brother glanced at the fourth elder brother behind him, then changed his words and said: "Khan Ama has given a new errand and wants to go back to the Yamen of the Ministry of Internal Affairs..."
The eldest brother looked hesitant.
Brother Jiu saw him and said, "Brother is going to Yongding River tomorrow? Do we have to go for a while?"
The eldest brother nodded and said: "Khan Amma will let me supervise the work, and the construction period will be twenty days..."
Naturally, what this superintendent is not doing is ordinary civilian service, but this time he is a member of the Eight Banners Armor.
The eight banners combined their subordinates, and a total of 1,000 men were assigned to each banner. Each left leader sent two guards and two knights, and the remaining number was made up by the infantry.
In this way, there are eight thousand soldiers with eight banners.
In the clan, in addition to the eldest brother who is in charge of this matter, there are also Prince Jian's sons Yarjiang'a, Beile Yanshou, Gong Yuexi, Qiktaha, and Puqi as deputies.
The Eight Banners Commander-in-Chief and Deputy Commander-in-Chief should also arrange for people to follow them.
Brother Jiu said, "That's really hard work. I'm going to send some food and pastries to my elder brother's house later this afternoon, so that I don't have to go to the lake outside and have a hungry or full stomach."
The eldest brother nodded and said: "Okay, then brother is waiting."
The fourth elder brother glanced at the ninth elder brother.
Brother Jiu just pretended not to be looking.
Don't get too used to it either.
Otherwise, it will be endless.
Last time I kindly went over to give agarwood as a gift, but I was caught and given a scolding. In addition to being dissatisfied with his imprudent responses in front of the emperor, he was also told that he shouldn't give away horses, as he was too squeamish.
The ninth elder brother ran away at that time, feeling regretful and feeling that this elder brother was too close.
When the fourth elder brother saw the ninth elder brother's reaction, he couldn't help but be startled, and then his face dropped.
Brother Jiu has already urged: "Brothers, let's go quickly, don't delay the meal!"
The eldest brother glanced at the fourth brother and said: "Let's go!"
The fourth elder brother responded and gave the ninth elder brother a cold look.
Brother Jiu averted his eyes, lowered the carriage curtain, and told He Yuzhu to move quickly through the curtain.
The carriage went along the official road.
Fourth Brother gritted his teeth and looked at it, his face getting darker.
The eldest brother couldn't help but feel happy when he saw it, and said: "Is this a lesson to Lao Jiu? What are you talking about? Why do you still hold grudges?"
Brother Si sighed and said, "On the Wanshou Festival, I just said a few words that I shouldn't give away horses..."
The eldest brother smiled and said: "That's just a docile donkey! Even he needs to be coaxed. If you accidentally make a mistake, you will be the one who suffers!"
The fourth elder brother hummed softly: "It's just that Khan Ama didn't set the rules in the early years, so it's time to clean up!"
The eldest brother nodded and said: "Khan Ama is so kind. Among us brothers, none of us are really willing to teach him a lesson. The younger brother is even more merciful. Not only Laojiu, I am not afraid of Khan Ama when I look at Fourteenth. They
They are more like brothers..."
Mentioning the fourteenth elder brother, the fourth elder brother felt his head hurt even more, and said: "We have similar odors. I'm talking about the two of them. They are both unruly bastards..."

In the carriage, Brother Jiu winked, faintly proud.
The tenth prince looked on and saw it funny.
After a while, when he thought they were far away, the tenth prince said, "When will we reconcile? This grudge has lasted a month..."
Brother Jiu was confident and said: "When will Fourth Brother speak softly and talk softly..."
The tenth brother advised: "Then take it easy, the fourth brother is also a vengeful person, don't make the lie come true!"
Brother Ninth raised his chin and said, "Don't be afraid, just get closer to Fourth Sister-in-law later!"
Brother Ten said: "He also has good intentions. If he didn't really care about Brother Ninth, he wouldn't have said that."
Brother Jiu crossed his arms and said, "Then you can't train him like a son? How old am I? You have to set rules for him and speak well, otherwise this kind intention will make people upset!"
The tenth elder brother said nothing.
Anyway, they live next to each other, and Sister-in-law Ninth will not be able to give birth for another half month.
The fourth brother likes to look bad, but the fourth sister-in-law is good-tempered, and we will never be separated from each other in the future...

Ninth Prince's Mansion, back room.
The door of the main room is open, and there is a bamboo mat in front of the door, with cashmere felt placed on it, and plain silk placed on the cashmere felt.
On the silk, there are three babies with their arms and legs exposed.
They all had eye patches on their eyes.
Babies basking in the sun is a parenting method that has existed since ancient times. It is called "seeing the wind and sun from time to time".
When the weather is nice and sunny, you should take your baby out to bask in the sun and enjoy the warm air, but the time should be very short, no more than two-quarters of an hour at the beginning.
When you are over half a year old, you can extend it, but it should not exceed half an hour.
Now in early summer, it is warm before noon, so the babies are taken out to bask in the sun.
Shu Shu remembered that babies' eyes developed late, so she asked someone to make silk eye masks for them to wear.
She herself was still wearing spring clothes, but she no longer wore quilted ones and changed to hard-faced singles. The bun on her head was changed to silk, and the scarf around her neck was also the same.
Even the sleeves of the clothes are an inch and a half longer than before, completely covering the wrist joints.
Shi Fujin was beside him, feeling distressed and said: "It's okay now, what will we do after the Dragon Boat Festival? It will be so hot then..."
Shu Shu shook his head and said: "It's okay, I'll go live there in Haidian when the time comes..."
Shi Fujin hesitated for a moment and said, "Sister-in-law Jiu, I'm a little scared..."
Giving birth is so painful, it is unbearable just to watch.
Sister-in-law Jiu used to be able to draw a ten-power bow and had a heroic appearance, but now she looks frail.
Although she is one and a half times as tall as Sister-in-law Jiu and about two inches thicker, in terms of physical condition, she is probably not as good as Sister-in-law Jiu.
Shu Shu said: "This is different for me. If I had one child at a time, I would be fine a long time ago. Look, aren't the seventh sister-in-law and the fourth sister-in-law all good?"
Shi Fujin looked down at himself and said, "If I were as thin as Sister-in-law Jiu, I, Ehe, would cry to death..."
Shu Shu thought of Mrs. Jueluo and Mrs. Bo. After one and a half months of confinement, the two elders had lost a lot of weight.
She touched her wrist.
Since she was weaned, she has resumed her diet, eating five meals a day, but she has not gained weight.
Things have changed. Before, she was worried about being obese during pregnancy or postpartum, but she didn't expect that she would be in this situation now.
It seems that she still needs to eat more to gain weight, otherwise others will think she is sick if they see her.
Shu Shu just wanted to eat noodles, so she asked Walnut: "Aren't there wild vegetables in the dining room these days? For lunch, we will have toon noodles, steamed wild vegetable buns and mutton and green onion buns..."
Shi Fujin loves mutton, and his eyes lit up when he heard the mutton and green onion buns.
When Shu Shu saw it, he said: "Let's stir-fry the cumin mutton, and then the honey-glazed mutton, and two more mouth-cleaning side dishes..."
Needless to say, cumin mutton tastes like barbecue and is Shifujin’s favorite food.
Honey-glazed mutton has a famous name in later generations, "It is like honey". Some say it was given the name by Qianlong, some said it was given the name by the Empress Dowager Cixi, and some say it is the transliteration of "Tasimi".
Fujin's appetite.
Shi Fujin couldn't help but touch his belly and said: "I can eat a basket of steamed buns today..."
Shi Fujin’s appetite has been revealed.
Shu Shu thought for a while and then said: "Didn't you ask me to girdle my waist a while ago? Ask Xiaochun to help you measure your waist later, and ask someone to make two for you, too?"
Shi Fujin looked at Shu Shu's waist and hesitated: "Is it too tight? Can I still eat in it?"
Shu Shu explained: "Just for this reason, you can usually eat a basket of steamed buns, and you will be full after eating a few with a girdle. In this way, your appetite will be adjusted, and your weight will be reduced..."
Otherwise, if he just controls his mouth, Shi Fujin won't be able to hold on for a few days before he starts eating again.
Shi Fujin nodded and said: "Well, then I'll trouble my sister-in-law..."
At this moment, Mrs. Bo had already come out of the house and urged everyone to come in.
Children should not be exposed to the sun for long periods of time, nor should they stay outside for too long.
The children stared in confusion, feeling drowsy from the sun, so they went straight to the car.
Shu Shu and Shifu Jin's sisters-in-law returned to Dongci Room.
Shu Shu was half lying on the kang, and Shi Fujin pulled a small quilt and placed it on her waist.
Shi Fujin mentioned the previous visits to Zhang's house.
Zhang Tingyu had already taken part in the palace examination, but before this examination, Kangxi told the examiner that in order to balance the material arguments outside, all the ministers' children in this subject would enter the top three.
Zhang Tingyu is no exception, ranking in the top three.
However, Kangxi had already heard of Zhang Tingyu's talent and personally read Zhang Tingyu's papers after the imperial examination. Although he did not move his ranking forward, he directly designated him as a scholar and entered the Hanlin Academy to study Mandarin...
