My father-in-law is Kangxi

For this Ninth Elder Brother, the Jin family didn't take it seriously at first.

In the past two years, Brother Jiu's reputation was not very good, and he was suspected of extorting officials from the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

I heard that just because the annual gifts of several relatives were not generous, Brother Jiu directly blocked the promotion of several children.

Based on the idea that one thing more is worse than one thing less, the Jin family prepares generous gifts for three festivals and two birthdays every year, but they are all within the rules.

For the heavy gift in 38, the Prince's Mansion returned some gifts in return.

The Jin family knew it well, and this person didn't care for the Jin family's filial piety, nor did he intend to help the Jin family move around.

You know, what the Jin family was thinking about before was the location of the Seventeenth Brother Haha Bead.

Elder Seventeen is the adopted son of Concubine Yi, his haha ​​bead, elder brother Ninth is just a matter of words.

As a result, such a simple request, Brother Jiu refused without hesitation.

The Jin family was also a little angry at the time, so they didn't add anything to it.

During the half month since returning to Beijing, Jin Yiren inquired carefully about Brother Nine, and found out that this man has always been capricious, and the imperial censor is staring at impeachment.

At that time, the Jin family was treated like that, not the Jin family.

Nine elder brothers have been in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for four years, and have no private contacts with the old surname of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

What's more, this guy is not short of money. A small Tangshan has earned millions of taels of silver.

A Prince Heshuo has an annual salary of only 1 taels.

Brother Jiu, a bald prince, earned back the salary of a prince for two lifetimes.

Jin Yiren understood why Brother Jiu didn't care about the job of the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

It's just that there's a twelfth elder brother next to him...

Even though this elder brother is the son of a concubine, he is not the only one who can be directly confronted by their wrapping slaves.

Jin Yiren was very humble, and said: "Jiu Ye, did you send the wrong documents by handwriting? I heard that it was the Twelfth Master who took care of these before, or will the slaves help the Twelfth Master in the future?"

Brother Nine shook his head and said: "No need, I have other errands for Elder Brother Twelve to run. I have long thought that the daily affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs are cumbersome and clingy. It is great that Mr. Jin is in office. We can also do it with free time." others."

Jin Yiren glanced at Brother Twelve, wanting to pay attention to Brother Twelve's reaction.

Brother Twelve didn't respond.

Jin Yiren doesn't quite believe Brother Jiu's words.

The word "greedy for money" is inseparable from the words that people outside talk to Brother Nine.

Just like the land in Xiaotangshan, the land price has risen because of the construction of the hot spring palace for the emperor. It can be classified under the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but what happened?

Even the palace is no longer paid by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, it has become the filial piety of the princes.

Xiaotangshan's business has also become the business of Brother Jiu alone.

It can be seen that Brother Jiu has a "clear distinction between public and private" in his heart.

Then the words that made Elder Brother Twelve run errands were a bit false.

It should be that the ninth elder brother was reprimanded for being lazy and took over by himself. He was worried that the twelfth elder brother would come from behind, so he found an excuse to avoid the twelfth elder brother's errand.

There is no difference between the royal family and ordinary people's family.

Between the brothers, let's take care of one share and pay back. When walking in a yamen, you must be on guard and hold back.

Jin Yiren didn't say much, and said: "I have not been in the capital for a long time, and I am not familiar with the errands of the yamen in this hall. In the future, I will have to ask Jiu Ye for more advice."

Brother Jiu waved his hand and said: "I don't care about this, I accidentally neglected it when I turned around, and the censor stared and bit me again, since Mr. Jin has hung up the head of the House of Internal Affairs, let me not worry about it, by the way, the head of the yamen here There are still shortages, if Mr. Jin has someone who can be useful, he can raise the virtuous and not avoid relatives!"

After hearing this, Jin Yiren felt at ease again.

When his family went to Beijing, he also thought about the future of his sons.

Long before the children became adults, he donated his background to Na and won the honor of supervising students.

In this way, the Ministry of Internal Affairs can also directly fill in the vacancies without going through the written examination.

Jin Yiren said gratefully: "Xie Jiuye has a lot of faith, and this slave is very grateful."

The one-foot-high official documents on his side were all to be dealt with today. He came to pay respects to the pier, and went back to work after getting rid of the troubles.

Brother Twelve looked at Brother Nine and said, "Brother Ninth, shall I go to Tongzhou tomorrow?"

Brother Jiu shook his head and said: "What's the hurry, it's still cold now, let's talk about it in February, then go and take a look around, don't let these coat-coating officials bully the master technicians from Jiangning, that's my master and Master Cao please For those who only want it several times, the monthly salary must be doubled in full, no one is allowed to exploit, and the apprentices must also choose those who can be used. If they are fake, they will be picked out and told to go away. , what the Ministry of Internal Affairs lacks most is people.”

The two brothers were talking, and Gao Yanzhong came.

He is the doctor of the hall, and he is directly under the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Now, Jin Yiren has also become his immediate boss.

It was Gao Yanzhong's job to check the three major weaving accounts last year.

Less than half a year after that, the Jin family was transferred.

Jin Renyi was also suspicious in his heart, and also tried to test Gao Yanzhong.

"Jiuye, this slave will tell you..."

Gao Yan said in the middle.

Brother Twelve listened, looked at Brother Nine, and waited to avoid him.

Brother Jiu said: "Is it related to the Jin family? Tell me directly!"

Gao Yanzhong said: "Master Jin asked about the slave's youngest son a few days ago..."

Brother Jiu rolled his eyes when he heard this, and said, "It's either a wife's daughter, or a wife's niece, nothing else!"

Gao Yanzhong said: "Yes, it's just a pity, the third child of the servant's family has already settled for the niece of the old relative Zhong's family."

Brother Jiu glanced at Gao Yanzhong and said, "You are willing."

The third child of Gao Yanzhong's family used to go to the Ninth Prince's Mansion with Gao Bin to pay New Year's greetings. He is a clever boy. He heard Gao Bin say that his homework is better, and now he is studying in Jingshan Official School.

At the age of ten or so, he already ate the imperial food. He was given one tael of silver every month, and two stones and six liters of rice every season.

Gao Yanzhong said: "Last year, the two parties reached an agreement and found a matchmaker."

Brother Nine said: "Then you tell Master Jin the truth."

Baqi is not a popular doll pro.

Brother Jiu felt that Gao Yanzhong's betrothal to his youngest son was to guard against others.

It's not just Jin Yiren who is on guard, but also other coating families who can't afford to offend.

This can be regarded as a direct avoidance of future troubles.

Otherwise, if you refuse directly, you will offend others, and if you don't refuse, you will easily be implicated.

Since Brother Jiu personally promoted him, Gao Yanzhong can be regarded as a little celebrity in the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Gao Yanzhong smiled wryly, "Lord Jin asked the slave's eldest grandson again..."

Brother Jiu frowned and said, "What do you want to do?"

Gao Yanzhong said: "Marriage is a matter of parents' orders. As a grandfather, I can't go beyond my parents to give my grandson a fixed term. Besides, the family is separated."

Brother Nine had a good impression of Jin Yiren just now, he thought he was a showman, and his words were nice.

I didn't expect this side to exist.

Like a crab, how many families are involved?

It's better to be closer to the Cao family, but it has nothing to do with the Gao family.

Brother Jiu looked at Gao Yanzhong, and said: "If it doesn't work, just do it."

Gao Yanzhong said: "The servant declined politely, for fear of offending Mr. Jin."

Brother Nine said: "Then you will follow Elder Twelve these few months, help Elder Twelve, make room for him, and hide first, so that he won't use any tricks."

Gao Yanzhong went to Jiangnan to find out about the Jin family, and he also knew that the Jin family was a rabbit whose tail couldn't grow.

Just looking at what the emperor meant, he wanted to avoid Jiangnan and punish the Jin family with another crime, so there was still a buffer of three to five months.

Gao Yanzhong also felt that he could temporarily avoid the edge, so as not to become the chicken that kills chickens and scares monkeys.

With Brother Jiu's arrangement, Gao Yanzhong felt relieved, and said to Brother Jiu: "Thank you Master Jiu for your compassion..."

Then, he clasped his fists at Elder Twelve and said, "The servant will obey Master Twelfth."

Brother Twelve nodded.

Gao Yanzhong backed out.

Brother Twelve looked at Brother Nine and sensed that something was wrong.

Under normal circumstances, wouldn't it be a good thing for a third-rank official to marry a fifth-rank official?

What Gao Yanzhong meant was to avoid it.

Brother Nine looked at Brother Twelve and said, "Eight Banners emphasizes in-laws, so in-laws are more important. You can choose carefully. You can do the same here. You can restrain your in-laws, and you will also restrain your wives in the future, lest they rely on you." With the power of bullying men and women outside, wantonly collecting money..."

Elder Brother Twelve's expression remained unchanged, and he said, "Ama Khan would not choose Prince Fujin from such a family."

Brother Jiu thinks about it too.

He said: "Don't you have a list of the show girls with a brand in your hand? These people will stay in the palace for inspection in February. Among them are you and Brother Thirteen's Fujin, but I can't guess Khan." How would Ma refer to..."

Brother Twelve didn't want to hear this, so he said, "How many days shall I go to Tongzhou?"

Brother Jiu also got back to business, and said: "Three or five days, it seems to be more important, otherwise, the subordinates will be fooled by those who are just looking at the flowers, anyway, if you are idle, you should take it easy, Gao Yanzhong Follow, you are a proper person, there is nothing to worry about."

Brother Twelve nodded, feeling a little nervous.

Tongzhou, haven't been there yet.

He has only been to Haidian, and Changping once at the beginning of last year...

*
Dry Dongtou, the main house.

Brother Fourteen looked at the eunuch who came back alone, and couldn't help being irritable, and said, "Why did you come back alone? Where's Brother Thirteen?"

The eunuch bent his body into a shrimp, and said: "Master, the Thirteenth Lord is not at my elder brother's house, but went to the household department. Starting today, the Thirteenth Lord is walking in the household department."

Brother Fourteen couldn't help being stunned when he heard this.

He had known for a long time that Brother Thirteen would start working this year, but he still couldn't help feeling sour when he heard the news.

"Have you asked, how many days to rest?" Elder Fourteen asked in a muffled voice.

The eunuch said: "There is a day off every ten days, but on the first day of February, the Thirteenth Master will leave Beijing with his retinue, so it is estimated that there will be no rest for ten days and a half..."

The fourteenth elder brother became more and more depressed, but thinking about the news that the thirteenth elder brother revealed yesterday, he was also uneasy.

He looked at the eunuch for a while, and said: "If there is any news about Yuqing Palace, remember to inquire and report it."

Akdon did not return to the palace...

There is only one kind of person who doesn't need to go back to the palace.

That is dying, you can only wait for death outside the palace, and you are not allowed to return to the palace, which will ruin the feng shui of the Forbidden City...

The shadow of Akton appeared in front of the fourteenth elder brother, and he couldn't help but shudder...
