My father-in-law is Kangxi

In the yamen of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Brother Nine was listening to Brother Twelve and Gao Yanzhong talking about their trip to Tongzhou.

"The looms have been calibrated, and the manpower is being trained, and work is about to start."

Brother Twelve spoke concisely.

Gao Yanzhong, on the other hand, said in detail: "Now the person in charge over there is the old man who is in charge. He is honest and strict in his actions. He obeys Master Jiu's orders and restrains the subordinates. He also treats Jiang Ning's masters well." It’s quite polite, but it’s getting old, and it looks a little hard.”

Nine Elder Brothers said: "Master just chooses the older ones. When you get older, you will lose your courage, so you don't have to go to a stupid young man to make trouble for you..."

At that time, Zhang Baozhu was asked to count the principals that could be drawn from the lower yamen, and eight candidates were selected. Brother Jiu got to know him a lot and chose the oldest one.

He has been in the chief position for more than ten years. It is not because he has no ability, but because he has no relationship, so he has not been promoted.

Nine elder brothers transferred people out.

Several people were talking, and there was movement at the door.

Jin Yiren asked to see him.

Brother Jiu asked someone to come in. He came in today, and he planned to see Jin Yiren.

"Ninth Master, Twelfth Master, Gao Langzhong..."

When Jin Yiren came in, he was still as modest as he was a few days ago, but he quietly paid attention to Brother Nine.

Gao Yanzhong also said hello and retreated.

Jin Yiren brought up an entrusted doctor, and Gao Yanzhong still had errands to hand over.

This has to be grasped to a degree.

You can't let the other party idle, as if you are holding power; you can't let it go too much, lest the other party mess up the House of Internal Affairs.

Fortunately, the main hall of the Ministry of Internal Affairs now has two doctors, and Gao Yanzhong can "leave" the main head to Zhang to keep, so that there is no need to divide.

When the Lang Zhong was on duty, the Commissioned Lang Zhong was already waiting.

He was originally Yuanwailang of the construction department, but now he is appointed as a doctor in the hall.

Gao Yanzhong handed over all the trivial matters in the doctor's duties, leaving only the selection of civil servants, and said to the other party: "That was under the control of Mr. Zhang at that time. If there is any adjustment, we will have to wait for Mr. Zhang to return to Beijing. Say it again."

The entrusted doctor is also very interesting.

Who is Master Zhang?
The emperor's in-laws, Wu Baylor's father-in-law.

Even if you want to fight for power, you have to divide it from whoever wins it.

The appointed doctor said: "The two adults are seniors, and the subordinates have a lot to learn when they come here. For now, these errands are enough."

Gao Yanzhong calculated the time, and waited for Sun Wencheng to go south to Jiangning for handover, and Zhang Baozhu to go north again, and it would take at least three months for each trip.

He said to the entrusted doctor: "Master Zhang is a rich and idle person, and I have long been impatient with these trivial matters. You came just in time. When Master Zhang returns to Beijing, I know that a new colleague has arrived. I can only be happy. Then we will have a drink together. Congratulations to you..."

After hearing this, the minister in charge felt at ease.

That's right, they are all princes and fathers-in-law, if they take the fifth-rank doctor's heart to heart and hold on to the slightest bit of power, then it is a joke...

When Brother Jiu was on duty, Brother Jiu was also laughing.

He did not hesitate to praise Jin Yiren. It turned out that he arranged two shifts for the internal construction office. He entered the construction as soon as the palace gate was opened, and did not leave until the palace gate was closed. The construction of Xian'an Palace and Fulai Residence is over half, and it will be repaired in three to five days. up.

"Not bad, it's really hard work!"

It's only been four days of work. Although there is no major project, it's just a simple repair, but this speed is also done with care.

Jin Yiren said: "A slave is just talking, it's not worth anything."

He couldn't see through Brother Nine, since he didn't appear to be faking at all, it seemed that he was really praising others.

Brother Jiu remembered what he said at Fucha's house yesterday, and said to Jin Yiren: "Master, remember that there is a dining room in Xian'an Palace? Has it been repaired?"

Jin Yiren said: "After the repair, we have also arranged for the stove master. After a few days, when the beautiful girl enters the palace, she can directly use the internal dining room."

Brother Jiu nodded and said: "That's good. Most of the beautiful girls who are eligible to stay in the palace are Gege from high families and wealthy families. If they enter the palace and cannot eat well or sleep well, they will be pitiful."

Jin Yiren immediately understood that Brother Jiu was going to sell Ma Qi a favor.

Among this group of beautiful girls, this one is the only one who is worthy of the care of the ninth elder brother.

He breathed a sigh of relief.

He would rather Brother Nine find Ma Qi for private affairs rather than official business.

Otherwise, those two would also be the directors of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. If they teamed up to plot against him, his position would not be secure.

Brother Nine looked at Jin Yiren and remembered the new material weaved in Hangzhou during the southern tour.

Jin Yiren did have something capable, so it was a waste of a few months for the Ministry of Internal Affairs to mess around like this.

He said: "You also know that in order to deal with the wool brought in from Mongolia, Master and Cao Yin borrowed a loom to set up a wool factory in Tongzhou. Twelve elder brothers and Lao Gao went to Tongzhou a few days ago. Yes, it’s just that they are laymen, so they probably won’t be able to see anything. After you’ve been busy for a while, you can take the time to take a look, or if you have nephews or stewards who are familiar with weaving, you can arrange to go and have a look. If there is something useful , just to make up for a vacancy, and it is also a person who is doing his best."

Jin Yiren was very moved when he heard this.

Although Brother Nine asked him to arrange for his children before, he also knew that he was new here, so it was not easy to arrange people like this, and everyone looked at him from top to bottom.

But as Brother Jiu said, their family has been a weaving officer for more than 30 years and is familiar with the situation of Xiatou Weaving Factory.

The manpower of their family is right for the newly established wool factory, and no one else can find fault with it.

He said with restraint: "I heard that it was built last year. I think Master Jiu has already selected the manpower, so why don't we go there halfway?"

Brother Nine waved his hands and said: "It's just picking the tallest man out of the box. I chose an old man because he is hardworking and honest. He can't be used. I'm worried, so don't be too unreasonable!"

Hearing these words, Jin Yiren felt a little close to him.

What Jiu Ye meant was that they were all working in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and they were his own people.

He thought so too.

He and Master Jiu are on their own, so how could they get to the point of arguing like they said outside?

Master Jiu is tired and diligent, so such a partner is just right, this is the emperor's intention of arrangement.

Jin Yiren put down his heart and said goodbye.

When he got to the door, he listened to Brother Nine talking to Brother Twelve.

"Don't delay, let's go with the master, let's go to Shenwumen to pick up your sister-in-law Jiu to go to the restaurant..."

Twelve princes said: "Ninth brother, it's only the second quarter of Maochu."

Brother Nine said: "It takes a lot of work to go from Xihuamen to Shenwumen..."

Jin Yiren was so far away that he couldn't hear the rest.

It seems that Brother Nine has subdued Brother Twelve.

In addition, elder brother twelfth is a little unreasonable, if elder brother ninth takes him to dinner, he will go, but there is also a sister-in-law, so it is not a polite word.

No matter how Jin Yiren thought about it, the ninth elder brother and the twelfth elder brother left the Yamen of the Ministry of Internal Affairs together without delay.

When they arrived at Shenwumen, the prince Fujin who had entered the palace to pay his respects was coming out.

No Shushu.

Si Fujin stepped forward and said: "The younger brothers and sisters were left by the queen mother to talk, and it will probably take a while."

Brother Jiu said: "Thank you Sisao, don't worry, it's still early for lunch."

Sifujin smiled and nodded.

In the first day of junior high school, the young couple also went out to eat out, which means they still have to eat outside.

The other Fujins are also aware of it, and each has their own considerations.

It's rare for these two to be married for three or four years and still be as sticky as newlyweds.

only……

What's the matter with a little bang?
The two brothers waited for a quarter of an hour, and Shu Shu came out.

Seeing Elder Brother Twelve was here, she greeted him with a smile, without showing any surprise.

On the contrary, Brother Nine explained: "Most of the restaurant's menus come from the mansion. We have eaten it before. We can't pick anything good. Let Twelve choose."

Shu Shu nodded and said, "Okay, that hardworking Uncle Twelve..."

The second half of the sentence is for Elder Brother Twelve.

Only then did Brother Twelve realize that it was not just lunch, but also errands.

Without delay, the few people left Di'anmen and went to Baiweiju.

Because there is no meal yet, the downstairs lobby is empty.

Brother Nine and his party went upstairs to the box.

The person in charge knew Brother Nine and Shu Shu, and personally sent everyone up, listening to orders.

Brother Jiu thought of An's restaurant, and said, "Four signature dishes, four seasonal dishes..."

As he spoke, he handed the menu to Elder Brother Twelve and said, "Just treat yourself as a diner, choose what you want to eat, and then eight dishes..."

Brother Twelve said, "Brother Ninth, how about sixteen? Isn't it too expensive?"

Brother Jiu shook his head and said: "It's okay, just this time, I'm rushing to try more dishes, so naturally I have to pick a few more dishes, and the rest of the kitchen guys will eat."

My own business, my own buddies, did not eat into the stomachs of others.

Brother Twelve just took the menu, read it carefully, and pointed out the names of eight dishes.

The steward went down to the kitchen to spread the word.

It's really not a big choice, because there is only one page of menu in total, including snacks, cold dishes, and soups, there are only [-] dishes.

Except for the eight mentioned by Brother Jiu, there are not many choices left.

Brother Jiu remembered the water sign hanging on the half wall of Anjia Restaurant, and asked Shu Shu, "Is there too little food in our house?"

Shu Shu shook her head and said, "Not a lot. The menu is related to the preparation of dishes. The less dishes to prepare, the higher the profit."

Brother Nine is good at economics, after hearing this sentence, he understood, nodded and said: "That's the reason, less loss, more profits."

Brother Twelve heard this, looked down at the menu, and asked, "Sister-in-law Jiu, there are only five signature dishes, is that also intentional?"

He had eaten at Brother Jiu's house, and he knew that the menu at Brother Jiu's house was several times that of this place, and there were many delicious dishes, many of which could be taken outside as signs.

Shu Shu nodded and said: "Yes, five dishes are enough. Three dishes are fixed, and two dishes can be changed according to the season. It's the same principle. There are few signature dishes, so everyone orders them. It's easy to prepare and serve quickly. The more purchases, the lower the cost and the higher the profit.”

Elder Brother Twelve thinks this is all knowledge, knowledge that is not in books, remember very seriously...

*
Yamen of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Gao Yanzhong seemed to be sorting out the paperwork, but in fact, what he was looking at was the resume of the entrusted doctor.

Can't see anything.

But this is an in-law of the Wei family.

The Wei family, the eighth elder brother.

When did Jin Yiren get involved with Eighth Prince?
