Being late on the first day of work! ?
Yinzhen, who has always been cautious in doing things and has a strong sense of time, never imagined that such a day would happen to him.
Yinzhen's pupils trembled.
At the same time, he couldn't help but see himself being reprimanded by Khan Ama for being late, and even looked at by Tong Eniang with disappointed eyes.
Yinzhen's whole body trembled.
If he was ecstatic yesterday, then he is icy cold now—everything in his mind will never become a reality!
Yinzhen took a deep breath: Calm down.
Now I need to calm down to think of a solution - 15 minutes to rush to the household department office, how can I do it!
Su Peisheng's words woke up a bunch of older brothers.
The sleepy bugs had already run away completely, and Yinzhen, who was still muttering in front of him that he wanted to sneak in another cup of tea, looked expectantly at Xu Sheng, hoping that what Su Peisheng said was just a joke, but it was a pity that Xu Sheng shook his head with a sullen face .
Master, don't try to escape from reality!
Only a quarter of an hour left!From Changchun Garden to the Household Yamen, it takes about half an hour to ride a horse-drawn carriage, and if you ride a horse, you will pay a lot of money, maybe... in time?
Yinzhen also thought so.
He stood up, changed clothes and washed quickly with the assistance of two eunuchs, while urging: "Su Peisheng, quickly send someone to prepare the horse!"
Before Su Peisheng walked out of the gate, the fifth elder brother Yinqi immediately poured a basin of cold water: "Fourth brother—this is Changchun Garden."
Without Khan Ama, who can gallop in the garden?But asking Khan Ama to receive the decree means that Yinzhen's late arrival cannot be covered.
Yinzhen stopped moving.
On the contrary, Yinzhen sighed: "Since fourth brother leaves home later, someone must know about it. We are all at fault for this matter. We might as well wait for fourth brother to go to the yamen and let's go to Ama Han to apologize."
The fifth elder brother Yinqi's face was heavy: "Yes..."
He turned around and patted Yinzhen on the shoulder: "Brother, I will definitely take my brothers to explain this matter to Khan Ama. Don't worry, fourth brother... In the end."
Yinqi glared at Yinzhen: "The one who proposed the pillow meeting is the culprit."
Yinzhen: ...
The thirteenth brother Yin Xiang weakly raised his hand: "You can't blame the ninth brother, I deliberately threw the pillow on the fourth brother's face."
"I was wrong too."
"It's because I didn't stop them."
The seventh elder brother Yinyou, the eighth elder brother Yinhu, and the tenth elder brother Yin'e also spoke together, and even the fourteenth elder brother added a few sentences in a childish voice.
Yinzhen's heart felt hot.
The panic that filled my heart has also faded a lot: "How can I blame you for this matter? The thirteenth brother and the fourteenth brother are young, so I should give way to my brother..."
Seeing that Yinzhen was about to start a long speech, Yinzhen quickly raised his hand: "Fourth brother, there are still 10 minutes left."
Yinzhen:……
Yinzhen smiled optimistically: "At most, he was trained by Khan Ama, at most he was beaten by Khan Ama a few times, anyway, it's not the first time, fourth brother, don't worry!"
Say so.
After watching Yinzhen leave in a hurry, and when the rest of the elder brothers came outside the Hall of Nine Classics and Three Things, their original courage gradually faded away, one by one, they poked their heads outside the courtyard and stopped.
The guards of the Hall of Nine Classics and Three Things did not look sideways, the corners of their mouths were tightly pursed, and their waists were straight.If it weren't for the corners of their eyes to glide over the elder brothers frequently, and their ears pricked up to secretly listen to the elder brothers' movements, they would have thought that they were really focused!
Brothers met and whispered.
Who goes in first?Who is responsible for speaking?Who is responsible for... being beaten?These questions are so serious that no answer was discussed for a while.
The elder brother Yinti, who just walked out of the Hall of Nine Classics and Three Things, was full of doubts.He frowned and walked around behind his younger brothers, seeing that none of the older brothers had noticed, Yinti's curiosity became more and more serious, and he said abruptly, "What are you doing here?"
Brothers: ...? !
They jumped up like frightened rabbits, and when they turned around and saw that it was the elder brother Yinti, everyone was relieved.
Yinzhen complained even more: "What...it's the eldest brother."
Yinti: ...
He had a dark face, and when he came up, he gave Yinzhen a slap on the head: "What is it called? It's big brother, you really don't have any rules!"
While talking about Yinzhen, Yinti also glanced at the brothers, and finally stopped on the fifth elder brother Yinqi: "Yinqi, it is just right that you are here, and the elder brother is looking for you!"
Yinqi: ...?
Yinti: ...? ? ?
Seeing Yin Qi's confused face, Yin Ti's face was almost filled with question marks.The corner of his mouth twitched: "Have you forgotten? Today is the day when the manuscript will be finalized and sent to the Department of Culture and Cleansing for preparation of the first edition."
Yinqi's pupils trembled.
He took a deep breath, smiled and apologized to his brothers: "...seventh brother and eighth brother, I will leave the rest to you!"
Brothers: ...
The seventh elder brother Yinyou and the eighth elder brother Yinhu looked at each other, and they put their hands on the fifth elder brother Yinqi's shoulder at the same time.
want to run?dream!
This scene made Yinti look puzzled, he looked up at the gate of the Hall of Nine Classics and Three Things, and then at his brothers: "You won't... make a mistake again, right?"
"What do you mean..." Yinzhen was not happy.
"My elder brother heard that you were sunburned yesterday and were still fighting in the bathroom..."
"Wait! Brother, how do you know?"
"...Huh? When I went to pay my respects to Mama Ukuma in the morning, Concubine Tong and the others were still talking about it! Wait! Now is not the time to talk about this!"
But Yinzhen and the others didn't think so.
Hearing Yinti's words, Yintang was going to explode, and the brothers' faces were even paler, and they were on the verge of falling—what the hell are they doing?You have to bring this up and talk about it!Their hearts are going to break QAQ
"You didn't know how to lose face when you were fighting, what's the use of knowing now?" Yinti complained.
The brothers were about to vomit blood because of the honest complaints, but he kept nagging: "Speaking of which, why did you all oversleep this morning? Brother Ben didn't see you when he went to pay his respects?"
The fifth elder brother Yinqi said with a sneer: "Eh...here, didn't he just play for a while yesterday."
"...?" Big Brother Yinti raised his eyebrows in surprise.
There was a hint of doubt and inquiry in his eyes: "Playing? Isn't the bathroom war over yet? Even if the bathroom is finished, you won't be unable to get up in the morning, right?"
These question after sentence were like sharp arrows, piercing directly into the hearts and lungs of Yinzhen and the others.
Fifth elder brother Yinqi's voice suddenly froze.
His eyes wandered, and it took a long time before he could squeeze out a sentence in Yinti's burning gaze: "Later, I also played a pillow fight, cough cough."
Yinti: ...
He complained blankly: "You guys are really in a good mood :)"
It's not a big deal to be late to say hello now and then.
Yinti nagged his younger brothers with black lines all over his face for a while, then he stopped talking and dragged Yinqi and planned to leave.
But after walking two steps, Yinti remembered the original thing again.
He stopped in his tracks, with a trace of questioning in his eyes and a trace of inquiry sweeping towards everyone: "Wait——what are you doing here?"
"...cough cough." Everyone's expressions became more and more strange.
Weirdness speaks for itself.
Yinti raised his eyebrows, looked at the Hall of Nine Classics and Three Events, and then at his younger brothers: "Let's talk, no matter how big the problem is, I am prepared for it."
Yintang laughed.
He whispered: "Today is the fourth brother's first day to be on duty at the household department."
"Uh-huh."
"Then……"
"Then?"
"Then...hehe." Yinzhen smirked.
Yinti was still a little confused.
Suddenly he opened his eyes wide and asked in disbelief: "Wait...you overslept? Wait! Don't tell me... Yinzhen is late?"
Yinzhen nodded as if death was at home.
Yinti: ... Fourth brother, you died so badly!
After this incident happened, it is no wonder that the younger brothers dare not go in outside the Hall of Nine Classics and Three Events.Yinti didn't care to take Yinqi away now, he had Yinqi in his left hand and Yinti in his right, and then he called out to his quail-like younger brothers, and a group of people poured into the Hall of Nine Classics and Three Things.
At the same time, the Yamen of the Ministry of Households in Beijing.
Hubu Shangshu Kulena stood at the gate with a dark face, followed by Hubu Minister Ashan and others also frowned, looking not very good-looking.
The atmosphere outside the yamen caused several officials who were out on business to shrink their necks in fright, and walked out along the corner of the wall. is what happened.
Shangshu Kulena put his hands behind his back.
Without looking back, he asked in a deep voice, "What time is it now?"
Ashan, the servant of the household department, took out a gold-plated enamel pocket watch, lifted the cover and looked at the time on it: "Reporting to Mr. Kulena, it is now the third quarter of the first day."
That is to say, the time for reporting on work has passed, but everyone still hasn't seen the fourth elder brother.
Hubu Shangshu Kulena sneered: "It is better to hear it than to see it; it is better to practice it than to see it. It is often said that the fourth elder brother Yinzhen is rigorous and serious in doing things, and I don't know where it comes from if I want to see it gossip!"
Minister Kulena was only transferred to the household department at the end of last year.
Before that, he had been an official in the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Punishment for many years, and his aura was already extraordinary.Now that he was angry, the evil spirit overflowing from his body became stronger and stronger one after another, making the officials behind him who were about to say something nice shut their mouths in unison, not daring to say anything more.
Of course, there is another reason why they dare not say more is because of the fourth elder brother Yinzhen.The fourth elder brother is the prince, and even the adopted son of Concubine Tonghuang. Simply put, apart from His Royal Highness, the fourth elder brother has the highest family background in the palace.
Shangshu Kulena dared to say it, but they didn't dare to say it.
The angry minister Kulena was in no mood to talk to the cowardly officials behind him.
He stared coldly into the distance.
Even if he was late for the appointment on the first day, he was probably just a playful prince who was doted on by the emperor and Concubine Tong.Fortunately, he also had hope for the fourth elder brother because of the praise of the fifth elder brother by his past colleagues such as Dali Temple and the Ministry of Criminal Justice. Shangshu Kulena sighed deeply.
The degree of favorability for the fourth elder brother Yinzhen fell directly to the bottom.He took out the clock and looked at the time. He wanted to see when the fourth elder brother would come to the yamen of the household department: "Wait another 15 minutes, if it's not there, I won't wait."
"But my lord, the emperor's decree..."
"I will naturally report to the emperor about the lateness of the fourth elder brother." Hubu Shangshu Kulena replied in a deep voice.
As time passed by every minute and every second.Seeing that the last 10 minutes were about to end, and there was no sign of a carriage at the street, everyone gradually became restless.
The last 1 minutes.
Minister Kulner lost his patience, he simply took out his pocket watch and stared at the second hand on it: "45, 46..."
Ashan, the servant of the household department, frowned.
He took a step forward and interrupted Shang Shu Kulena's words: "Master Kulena, could something happen to the fourth prince's carriage on the road?"
As soon as this remark came out, the hearts of everyone present shuddered.
The probability of being late on duty at the Yamen on the first day is very small...not to mention the high possibility that the servant of the household department, Ashan, said!
The officials looked at Shangshu Kulena at the same time.
In case the fourth elder brother had an accident on the way, the emperor's anger would most likely be vented on the heads of the household officials.
Thinking of this, there was a trace of anxiety and worry in everyone's heart, and one of the principals bravely said: "Master Kulena, do you want to ask people to find the direction of travel?"
"Yes, yes, what Master Ah Shan said is true!"
"Xiaguan, let people go and look for it."
Ashan, the servant of the household department, added: "The lower officials heard that Master Wang Junwang, the Minister of Internal Affairs, Tong Guowei, and Ma Qi, all mentioned that the fourth elder brother is neither arrogant nor rash, calm and experienced, and he really doesn't seem to be late." .
Not finished yet.
There was a crisp sound of horseshoes coming from far and near, and there was also the sound of wheels.
The expressions of the surrounding officials gradually became weird and strange.
Ashan, the servant of the household department, looked back subconsciously: at the end of the alley, several guards on horseback surrounded by a four-wheeled carriage came towards this side.
Not necessarily... it's from the Ministry of Household Affairs, right?
The servant, Ah Shan, was still a little lucky, but it was a pity that the carriage that was parked firmly in front of everyone broke his hope.Immediately afterwards, the fourth elder brother Yinzhen pushed the door out with an anxious face, and jumped off the carriage in three steps at a time.
He bowed to Chief Secretary of the Household Department Kulena: "Ben elder brother is late, I hope Kulena forgives me."
Housekeeper Ashan: ...
The crisp slap sound seemed to ring in everyone's ears, not to mention the household servant Ah Shan himself, his face instantly became dark and gloomy.
something wrong?Calm and sophisticated?Doesn't look like someone who will be late?Ask him to see that the Bachelor of Attendance, Tong Guowei, and Ma Qi, the ministers of the interior, are all fooled by lard.
Hubu Shangshu Kulena sneered.
He took a step away expressionlessly to avoid the fourth elder brother's salute, then glanced coldly at the waiter Ah Shan, and finally said forcefully: "How dare I accept the fourth elder brother's gift, the fourth elder brother should invite you."
not only that.
Shangshu Kulena also patted his sleeves with a group of officials and slapped the fourth elder brother firmly: "Slave / lower official greets the fourth elder brother."
Where is Xu Zhen, the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, Kulena may have infinite opinions on him.He opened his mouth to explain—but what?Being harassed by younger brothers so you can't sleep?Saying this, not to mention Shangshu Kulena's belief or not, even Yinzhen himself felt too ashamed.
This pot can only be carried by oneself.
I can only think about how to save my image from the eyes of the adults in the future.While thinking about it, Yinzhen raised Shangshu Kulena with both hands with a smile on his face: "Master Kulena, please get up."
He obediently followed Hubu Shangshu Kulena and the others to walk in - as soon as he entered the main hall of the yamen, Shangshu Kulena couldn't wait to say: "Ah Shan, you will be in charge of the fourth elder brother in the household department in the future."
Since you think the fourth elder brother is a good one, you can take care of him.
Shangshu Kulena looked at the servant Ashan with this meaning in his eyes shining brightly.
Housekeeper Ashan: ...
His face changed, and soon turned red.
The words of Shangshu Kulena undoubtedly gave the servant Ah Shan two slaps. He didn't understand that he was afraid that what he had just said kindly to the fourth elder brother Yinzhen would fall on Shangshu Kulena. For the benefit of someone else, he specially helped the fourth elder brother with his work.
This... is very unfair!
Ashan, the servant of the household department, couldn't refuse, his face changed several times, and finally he suppressed his anger in his stomach, and responded with a stiff face.
Yinzhen was also surprised by the turbulent atmosphere between Shangshu Kulena and his servant Ashan—perhaps he was the one who caused the flames, but it also confirmed that the relationship between the two may not be very good.
The fourth elder brother Yinzhen frowned indistinctly.
When Shangshu Kulena left, the servant Ashan looked at him with something wrong.
But the fourth elder brother Yinzhen is not worried.
Sure enough, no matter how indifferent the servant Ashan's attitude was, he still selected an elderly head of the household department to introduce himself to the personnel and affairs in various parts of the yamen, and the description was meticulous and serious.
It was noon when everything was done.
The servant, Ah Shan, greeted him with a smile, and led the fourth elder brother Yinzhen all the way to the backyard of the Yamen of the Ministry of Household Affairs.
This is a rather clean courtyard.
There were many yamen servants and guards waiting at the gate of the two courtyards, and when they saw the arrival of the servant A Shan, they saluted in unison.Going further inside, you can see the plaque on it. This is a warehouse for accumulating account books and records—it looks quite different from ordinary warehouses.
The servant Ashan pushed open the door, and Yinzhen walked in after him.Not only the outside, but also the inside is not like an ordinary warehouse.
Not only is this place not narrow and cramped, but it is as spacious and grand as a study room.The only difference is that the huanghuali bookshelves on both sides are not filled with books but thick account books and notes. Zhongzhong surrounded by huanghuali bookshelves has a desk made of the same material, and the desk is clean. , pens, inks, papers and inkstones are placed neatly.
"The fourth elder brother may not be able to get started directly when he arrives here for the first time. Here are all the account books and records of the household department. The fourth elder brother can look through them to understand the affairs. After he understands the affairs of the household department, he will be removed from the official and then bring the fourth elder brother to start. All the affairs of the household department." The servant Ah Shan said thoughtfully.
The fourth elder brother Yinzhen remained calm.
He looked around and raised his eyebrows, and responded with a smile: "It doesn't look like a warehouse, but it's very clean and refreshing."
Ashan, the servant, laughed: "The lower official usually chooses to do business here."
He smiled and walked to the window.
Ashan, the servant, pushed open the glazed window, and behind the storehouse was a small garden with green willows and flowers, and a small and exquisite lotus pond in one corner, which is full of elegance.
Yinzhen's eyes lit up.
He couldn't help but took a few steps forward and said in amazement: "Master Ah Shan is really interesting."
The servant Ah Shan nodded with a smile.
Seeing that the fourth elder brother was in high spirits, he hurriedly withdrew because he still had some business to do.
The servant Ah Shan closed the door with a smile on his face.
Just after leaving the courtyard, two principals greeted him respectfully from a distance. One of the chiefs looked at the warehouse and looked a little uneasy: "My lord, will the fourth elder brother look at the account books..."
"What are you afraid of? This account book has been done carefully, with absolutely no omissions. What can an idiot brother find out?" The servant, A Shan, didn't care.
There are 210 nine account books in the warehouse, and 150 three notebooks.If the fourth elder brother is really capable of reading it... then he will admire it, if he can't finish it... then he doesn't have to think about getting started with the household affairs.
of course.
The servant, A-Shan, felt that according to the laziness of the fourth elder brother who could be late on the first day, he might not be able to finish watching the fourth elder brother after he left the household department!
As for whether there are loopholes in it?
The servant Ah Shan raised his head arrogantly: "I and you are not those idiots from the Ministry of Internal Affairs who don't even know the account books."
"Yes, yes! Of course."
"I'm just afraid of what might happen. What if the emperor sends the fourth elder brother to check the accounts..."
"What are you afraid of—?"
The servant, Ah Shan, gave them a sideways look: "Don't forget, our account books are all in and out, and there is no falsification."
Since the corruption case of the Ministry of Internal Affairs broke out, the servant Ashan and others have already changed several ways of doing accounts, and he doesn't believe that anyone can see it.Show the fourth elder brother, it would be better if the fourth elder brother is an idiot, and if he is not an idiot, he will be deceived even more, thinking that the account books of the household department are perfect and perfect.
No matter which of the two options it is, the servant Ah San is very satisfied.Confident, he didn't pay attention to the master's hesitation at all, and waved his hand to signal him not to mention it again.
The attention of the guard Ashan returned to Shangshu Kulena.There was a hint of anger in his eyes: "It's Shangshu Kulena... huh! I really think I'm someone."
The fourth elder brother Yinzhen didn't know how many people outside named him the idiot bag, he walked around the warehouse with his hands behind his back, and couldn't help chuckling: "Interesting."
Outside the door are the yamen guards and the servants of the sweeper. I am afraid that my random movements will be noticed by others. As for who should I report to?Maybe it's the servant, Ah Shan.
And the warehouse is not like a warehouse.
Dust accumulated on the corners of the top of the bookshelves——Yinzhen rubbed his fingers, looked at the corners of the wooden boards that became clean as he passed by with a smile, and his mind was spinning quickly.
The desk was clean without any dust——Yinzhen knelt down on one knee, pushed the desk slightly away, and observed the ground keenly.
If it is true as the servant Ashan said, this is where he often works and rests, then may I ask if the new and old brick patterns on the four feet of the desk are exactly the same as other bricks?
The fourth elder brother Yinzhen stood up.
He rested his right hand on his chin and thought carefully, and soon Yinzhen laughed softly.
No wonder Khan Ama asked himself not to go to war as soon as he entered the household department... Hehe!If all of this was prepared temporarily while I was visiting the yamen of the household department, everything would make sense.
Yin Zhen raised the corners of his mouth with great interest.
A pair of bright eyes were stained with inquiry: "I didn't expect that there are benefits to being late?"
This is a surprise that Yinzhen didn't expect at all!
He took a deep breath and let it out slowly. With great energy, he took out a few account books and notes from the accounting department and piled them on the desk. He decided to start work with great energy—let me see, what secrets are you guys hiding!
Yinzhen, who has always been cautious in doing things and has a strong sense of time, never imagined that such a day would happen to him.
Yinzhen's pupils trembled.
At the same time, he couldn't help but see himself being reprimanded by Khan Ama for being late, and even looked at by Tong Eniang with disappointed eyes.
Yinzhen's whole body trembled.
If he was ecstatic yesterday, then he is icy cold now—everything in his mind will never become a reality!
Yinzhen took a deep breath: Calm down.
Now I need to calm down to think of a solution - 15 minutes to rush to the household department office, how can I do it!
Su Peisheng's words woke up a bunch of older brothers.
The sleepy bugs had already run away completely, and Yinzhen, who was still muttering in front of him that he wanted to sneak in another cup of tea, looked expectantly at Xu Sheng, hoping that what Su Peisheng said was just a joke, but it was a pity that Xu Sheng shook his head with a sullen face .
Master, don't try to escape from reality!
Only a quarter of an hour left!From Changchun Garden to the Household Yamen, it takes about half an hour to ride a horse-drawn carriage, and if you ride a horse, you will pay a lot of money, maybe... in time?
Yinzhen also thought so.
He stood up, changed clothes and washed quickly with the assistance of two eunuchs, while urging: "Su Peisheng, quickly send someone to prepare the horse!"
Before Su Peisheng walked out of the gate, the fifth elder brother Yinqi immediately poured a basin of cold water: "Fourth brother—this is Changchun Garden."
Without Khan Ama, who can gallop in the garden?But asking Khan Ama to receive the decree means that Yinzhen's late arrival cannot be covered.
Yinzhen stopped moving.
On the contrary, Yinzhen sighed: "Since fourth brother leaves home later, someone must know about it. We are all at fault for this matter. We might as well wait for fourth brother to go to the yamen and let's go to Ama Han to apologize."

Yinqi glared at Yinzhen: "The one who proposed the pillow meeting is the culprit."
Yinzhen: ...
The thirteenth brother Yin Xiang weakly raised his hand: "You can't blame the ninth brother, I deliberately threw the pillow on the fourth brother's face."
"I was wrong too."
"It's because I didn't stop them."
The seventh elder brother Yinyou, the eighth elder brother Yinhu, and the tenth elder brother Yin'e also spoke together, and even the fourteenth elder brother added a few sentences in a childish voice.
Yinzhen's heart felt hot.
The panic that filled my heart has also faded a lot: "How can I blame you for this matter? The thirteenth brother and the fourteenth brother are young, so I should give way to my brother..."
Seeing that Yinzhen was about to start a long speech, Yinzhen quickly raised his hand: "Fourth brother, there are still 10 minutes left."
Yinzhen:……
Yinzhen smiled optimistically: "At most, he was trained by Khan Ama, at most he was beaten by Khan Ama a few times, anyway, it's not the first time, fourth brother, don't worry!"
Say so.
After watching Yinzhen leave in a hurry, and when the rest of the elder brothers came outside the Hall of Nine Classics and Three Things, their original courage gradually faded away, one by one, they poked their heads outside the courtyard and stopped.

"Uh-huh."
"Then……"
"Then?"
"Then...hehe." Yinzhen smirked.
Yinti was still a little confused.
Suddenly he opened his eyes wide and asked in disbelief: "Wait...you overslept? Wait! Don't tell me... Yinzhen is late?"
Yinzhen nodded as if death was at home.
Yinti: ... Fourth brother, you died so badly!

Shangshu Kulena put his hands behind his back.
Without looking back, he asked in a deep voice, "What time is it now?"
Ashan, the servant of the household department, took out a gold-plated enamel pocket watch, lifted the cover and looked at the time on it: "Reporting to Mr. Kulena, it is now the third quarter of the first day."
That is to say, the time for reporting on work has passed, but everyone still hasn't seen the fourth elder brother.
Hubu Shangshu Kulena sneered: "It is better to hear it than to see it; it is better to practice it than to see it. It is often said that the fourth elder brother Yinzhen is rigorous and serious in doing things, and I don't know where it comes from if I want to see it gossip!"
Minister Kulena was only transferred to the household department at the end of last year.
Before that, he had been an official in the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Punishment for many years, and his aura was already extraordinary.Now that he was angry, the evil spirit overflowing from his body became stronger and stronger one after another, making the officials behind him who were about to say something nice shut their mouths in unison, not daring to say anything more.
Of course, there is another reason why they dare not say more is because of the fourth elder brother Yinzhen.The fourth elder brother is the prince, and even the adopted son of Concubine Tonghuang. Simply put, apart from His Royal Highness, the fourth elder brother has the highest family background in the palace.
Shangshu Kulena dared to say it, but they didn't dare to say it.
The angry minister Kulena was in no mood to talk to the cowardly officials behind him.
He stared coldly into the distance.
Even if he was late for the appointment on the first day, he was probably just a playful prince who was doted on by the emperor and Concubine Tong.Fortunately, he also had hope for the fourth elder brother because of the praise of the fifth elder brother by his past colleagues such as Dali Temple and the Ministry of Criminal Justice. Shangshu Kulena sighed deeply.
The degree of favorability for the fourth elder brother Yinzhen fell directly to the bottom.He took out the clock and looked at the time. He wanted to see when the fourth elder brother would come to the yamen of the household department: "Wait another 15 minutes, if it's not there, I won't wait."
"But my lord, the emperor's decree..."
"I will naturally report to the emperor about the lateness of the fourth elder brother." Hubu Shangshu Kulena replied in a deep voice.
As time passed by every minute and every second.Seeing that the last 10 minutes were about to end, and there was no sign of a carriage at the street, everyone gradually became restless.
The last 1 minutes.
Minister Kulner lost his patience, he simply took out his pocket watch and stared at the second hand on it: "45, 46..."
Ashan, the servant of the household department, frowned.
He took a step forward and interrupted Shang Shu Kulena's words: "Master Kulena, could something happen to the fourth prince's carriage on the road?"
As soon as this remark came out, the hearts of everyone present shuddered.
The probability of being late on duty at the Yamen on the first day is very small...not to mention the high possibility that the servant of the household department, Ashan, said!
The officials looked at Shangshu Kulena at the same time.
In case the fourth elder brother had an accident on the way, the emperor's anger would most likely be vented on the heads of the household officials.
Thinking of this, there was a trace of anxiety and worry in everyone's heart, and one of the principals bravely said: "Master Kulena, do you want to ask people to find the direction of travel?"
"Yes, yes, what Master Ah Shan said is true!"
"Xiaguan, let people go and look for it."
Ashan, the servant of the household department, added: "The lower officials heard that Master Wang Junwang, the Minister of Internal Affairs, Tong Guowei, and Ma Qi, all mentioned that the fourth elder brother is neither arrogant nor rash, calm and experienced, and he really doesn't seem to be late." .
Not finished yet.
There was a crisp sound of horseshoes coming from far and near, and there was also the sound of wheels.
The expressions of the surrounding officials gradually became weird and strange.
Ashan, the servant of the household department, looked back subconsciously: at the end of the alley, several guards on horseback surrounded by a four-wheeled carriage came towards this side.
Not necessarily... it's from the Ministry of Household Affairs, right?
The servant, Ah Shan, was still a little lucky, but it was a pity that the carriage that was parked firmly in front of everyone broke his hope.Immediately afterwards, the fourth elder brother Yinzhen pushed the door out with an anxious face, and jumped off the carriage in three steps at a time.
He bowed to Chief Secretary of the Household Department Kulena: "Ben elder brother is late, I hope Kulena forgives me."
Housekeeper Ashan: ...
The crisp slap sound seemed to ring in everyone's ears, not to mention the household servant Ah Shan himself, his face instantly became dark and gloomy.
something wrong?Calm and sophisticated?Doesn't look like someone who will be late?Ask him to see that the Bachelor of Attendance, Tong Guowei, and Ma Qi, the ministers of the interior, are all fooled by lard.
Hubu Shangshu Kulena sneered.
He took a step away expressionlessly to avoid the fourth elder brother's salute, then glanced coldly at the waiter Ah Shan, and finally said forcefully: "How dare I accept the fourth elder brother's gift, the fourth elder brother should invite you."
not only that.
Shangshu Kulena also patted his sleeves with a group of officials and slapped the fourth elder brother firmly: "Slave / lower official greets the fourth elder brother."
Where is Xu Zhen, the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, Kulena may have infinite opinions on him.He opened his mouth to explain—but what?Being harassed by younger brothers so you can't sleep?Saying this, not to mention Shangshu Kulena's belief or not, even Yinzhen himself felt too ashamed.
This pot can only be carried by oneself.
I can only think about how to save my image from the eyes of the adults in the future.While thinking about it, Yinzhen raised Shangshu Kulena with both hands with a smile on his face: "Master Kulena, please get up."
He obediently followed Hubu Shangshu Kulena and the others to walk in - as soon as he entered the main hall of the yamen, Shangshu Kulena couldn't wait to say: "Ah Shan, you will be in charge of the fourth elder brother in the household department in the future."
Since you think the fourth elder brother is a good one, you can take care of him.
Shangshu Kulena looked at the servant Ashan with this meaning in his eyes shining brightly.
Housekeeper Ashan: ...
His face changed, and soon turned red.
The words of Shangshu Kulena undoubtedly gave the servant Ah Shan two slaps. He didn't understand that he was afraid that what he had just said kindly to the fourth elder brother Yinzhen would fall on Shangshu Kulena. For the benefit of someone else, he specially helped the fourth elder brother with his work.
This... is very unfair!
Ashan, the servant of the household department, couldn't refuse, his face changed several times, and finally he suppressed his anger in his stomach, and responded with a stiff face.
Yinzhen was also surprised by the turbulent atmosphere between Shangshu Kulena and his servant Ashan—perhaps he was the one who caused the flames, but it also confirmed that the relationship between the two may not be very good.
The fourth elder brother Yinzhen frowned indistinctly.
When Shangshu Kulena left, the servant Ashan looked at him with something wrong.
But the fourth elder brother Yinzhen is not worried.
Sure enough, no matter how indifferent the servant Ashan's attitude was, he still selected an elderly head of the household department to introduce himself to the personnel and affairs in various parts of the yamen, and the description was meticulous and serious.
It was noon when everything was done.
The servant, Ah Shan, greeted him with a smile, and led the fourth elder brother Yinzhen all the way to the backyard of the Yamen of the Ministry of Household Affairs.
This is a rather clean courtyard.
There were many yamen servants and guards waiting at the gate of the two courtyards, and when they saw the arrival of the servant A Shan, they saluted in unison.Going further inside, you can see the plaque on it. This is a warehouse for accumulating account books and records—it looks quite different from ordinary warehouses.
The servant Ashan pushed open the door, and Yinzhen walked in after him.Not only the outside, but also the inside is not like an ordinary warehouse.
Not only is this place not narrow and cramped, but it is as spacious and grand as a study room.The only difference is that the huanghuali bookshelves on both sides are not filled with books but thick account books and notes. Zhongzhong surrounded by huanghuali bookshelves has a desk made of the same material, and the desk is clean. , pens, inks, papers and inkstones are placed neatly.
"The fourth elder brother may not be able to get started directly when he arrives here for the first time. Here are all the account books and records of the household department. The fourth elder brother can look through them to understand the affairs. After he understands the affairs of the household department, he will be removed from the official and then bring the fourth elder brother to start. All the affairs of the household department." The servant Ah Shan said thoughtfully.
The fourth elder brother Yinzhen remained calm.
He looked around and raised his eyebrows, and responded with a smile: "It doesn't look like a warehouse, but it's very clean and refreshing."
Ashan, the servant, laughed: "The lower official usually chooses to do business here."
He smiled and walked to the window.
Ashan, the servant, pushed open the glazed window, and behind the storehouse was a small garden with green willows and flowers, and a small and exquisite lotus pond in one corner, which is full of elegance.
Yinzhen's eyes lit up.
He couldn't help but took a few steps forward and said in amazement: "Master Ah Shan is really interesting."
The servant Ah Shan nodded with a smile.
Seeing that the fourth elder brother was in high spirits, he hurriedly withdrew because he still had some business to do.
The servant Ah Shan closed the door with a smile on his face.
Just after leaving the courtyard, two principals greeted him respectfully from a distance. One of the chiefs looked at the warehouse and looked a little uneasy: "My lord, will the fourth elder brother look at the account books..."
"What are you afraid of? This account book has been done carefully, with absolutely no omissions. What can an idiot brother find out?" The servant, A Shan, didn't care.
There are 210 nine account books in the warehouse, and 150 three notebooks.If the fourth elder brother is really capable of reading it... then he will admire it, if he can't finish it... then he doesn't have to think about getting started with the household affairs.
of course.
The servant, A-Shan, felt that according to the laziness of the fourth elder brother who could be late on the first day, he might not be able to finish watching the fourth elder brother after he left the household department!
As for whether there are loopholes in it?
The servant Ah Shan raised his head arrogantly: "I and you are not those idiots from the Ministry of Internal Affairs who don't even know the account books."
"Yes, yes! Of course."
"I'm just afraid of what might happen. What if the emperor sends the fourth elder brother to check the accounts..."
"What are you afraid of—?"
The servant, Ah Shan, gave them a sideways look: "Don't forget, our account books are all in and out, and there is no falsification."
Since the corruption case of the Ministry of Internal Affairs broke out, the servant Ashan and others have already changed several ways of doing accounts, and he doesn't believe that anyone can see it.Show the fourth elder brother, it would be better if the fourth elder brother is an idiot, and if he is not an idiot, he will be deceived even more, thinking that the account books of the household department are perfect and perfect.
No matter which of the two options it is, the servant Ah San is very satisfied.Confident, he didn't pay attention to the master's hesitation at all, and waved his hand to signal him not to mention it again.
The attention of the guard Ashan returned to Shangshu Kulena.There was a hint of anger in his eyes: "It's Shangshu Kulena... huh! I really think I'm someone."
The fourth elder brother Yinzhen didn't know how many people outside named him the idiot bag, he walked around the warehouse with his hands behind his back, and couldn't help chuckling: "Interesting."
Outside the door are the yamen guards and the servants of the sweeper. I am afraid that my random movements will be noticed by others. As for who should I report to?Maybe it's the servant, Ah Shan.
And the warehouse is not like a warehouse.
Dust accumulated on the corners of the top of the bookshelves——Yinzhen rubbed his fingers, looked at the corners of the wooden boards that became clean as he passed by with a smile, and his mind was spinning quickly.
The desk was clean without any dust——Yinzhen knelt down on one knee, pushed the desk slightly away, and observed the ground keenly.
If it is true as the servant Ashan said, this is where he often works and rests, then may I ask if the new and old brick patterns on the four feet of the desk are exactly the same as other bricks?
The fourth elder brother Yinzhen stood up.
He rested his right hand on his chin and thought carefully, and soon Yinzhen laughed softly.
No wonder Khan Ama asked himself not to go to war as soon as he entered the household department... Hehe!If all of this was prepared temporarily while I was visiting the yamen of the household department, everything would make sense.
Yin Zhen raised the corners of his mouth with great interest.
A pair of bright eyes were stained with inquiry: "I didn't expect that there are benefits to being late?"
This is a surprise that Yinzhen didn't expect at all!
He took a deep breath and let it out slowly. With great energy, he took out a few account books and notes from the accounting department and piled them on the desk. He decided to start work with great energy—let me see, what secrets are you guys hiding!
