Looking at the brocade box opened in front of him, the white as jade children's pillow, it was not a vulgar thing when it looked like it, the thirteenth elder brother couldn't help frowning, and said, "What does Xueting mean by this?" ”

Yi Duli sighed and said, "What else, come and ask the Thirteenth Master with a cheeky face." I'm already over the age of 50, and if I mix in the six parts for a few more years, I will reach the age of Zhishi. ”

When the thirteenth elder brother heard this, he smiled bitterly and said, "If I remember correctly, Xueting is three years older than me, and he is only forty-two this year, right?" ”

Yi Duli touched his beard and said, "Forty-one is only promoted to squire, do you have to stay up for another ten years to become the palm seal officer?" ”

The thirteenth elder brother was a little annoyed by his expression, and said: "Last year, the school court signed several official positions, and he was promoted, and he still complained?" ”

In his early years, although Iduli was in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, it was the Ministry of Internal Affairs that was actually awarded. In the past year, he first transferred from the waiter of the Internal Affairs Office to the Zhan Affairs Mansion. And the Department of General Envoy Department General Political Envoy. Acting Cabinet Bachelor, and then promoted to the Ministry of Soldiers.

From the fifth-grade squire, to the third-grade Zhan Shi, the general political envoy, and then from the second-grade cabinet bachelor to the second-grade military department. In less than a year, Yiduli jumped three times in a row and actually rose to six levels.

If there was no Thirteen Elder Brother to take care of him, how could Iduli, who had always been infamous, be so lucky?

This has been promoted to a squire for less than a year, and it is a little unauthentic to complain in front of the thirteenth elder brother.

Yi Duli saw that he was annoyed, and hurriedly smiled: "Don't be annoyed, Thirteenth Master, I don't know how many catties and taels I have?" Where is the mind of exaltation? It's just that the Thirteenth Master, you also know, I have lived for more than 40 years and have been in Beijing. Now it's the people who look at the five. I really want to go around the place and see the life outside. ”

When the thirteenth elder brother heard this, he was puzzled: "You old lady is old, you don't do your filial piety under your knees, but you want to let go?" ”

Yiduli is lustful, but he does not damage his reputation, and he has a reputation among relatives and friends, just because he is a dutiful son.

This release is a big deal, and he has already consulted his old lady for her opinion.

The old lady was born in the prime minister's house, grew up in the capital when she was young, and later married Yiduli's father as a stepfamily, and lived in the capital for a lifetime. I heard that her son wanted to be released, and she supported it from the bottom of her heart.

Hearing the thirteenth elder brother ask about this, Yi Duli restrained his smile and said a little solemnly: "Our old lady said that the most regrettable thing about my father in his early years was that he did not let go of his foreign appointment and became a Beijing official for a lifetime.

I've been out of business for nearly 20 years, and I'm still living in Beijing. When I heard that there was an opportunity to go out, our old lady was happy to ask me to go. She is an old man, and she has long wanted to go out for a walk, and she also hopes to go out to breathe through the light of my son. But he also commanded, telling me not to force it, and not to trouble the thirteenth master by relying on relatives. But I really can't help it, the last time our old lady went out of Beijing, it was after my father died, I waited for her old man to go to Wutai Mountain, which has been more than 20 years. If I miss it and come back, even if I can wait, our old lady can't wait. In the end, there was already a bit of sincerity.

Compared with those who regarded the lack of magistrates as fat, Iduli was born rich and noble, and did not care much about gold and silver. He wants to find a place, or he wants to live the addiction of the palm seal officer.

I didn't feel anything in the early years, but I rose step by step. Only then did he understand what it meant that a husband should not be without power for a day.

Seeing that Yi Duli was like this, it was not good for the thirteenth elder brother to say anything.

He picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea. Said: "If you have this thought, why wait another year?" When your military squire is full, everything will be cheap. ”

Yi Duli smiled bitterly: "The Thirteenth Master actually coaxed me, and the local officials are not like the capital, how can vacancies be so cheap?" Look at the current movement in Kyoto. I don't know how many vacancies will be replaced this year, and where will there be vacancies next year? ”

The thirteenth elder brother was speechless for a while, and what Yiduli said was also the truth.

Since the emperor wants to alienate the place, the people who want to change are almost all moved this time; Those who have not moved places are mostly optimistic that they will be able to stay.

The thirteenth elder brother rubbed his forehead and said, "Okay, I'll help you pay attention to it, but it's not guaranteed." If you take the things back first, and then you see them like this, I'm going to be annoyed. ”

Yi Duli looked at the brocade box and said, "It didn't cost a few silver coins, just waiting for the Mid-Autumn Festival gift." ”

The thirteenth elder brother straightened his face and said, "If the school court is like this again, I will send off the guests." ”

Yidu immediately saw that the thirteenth elder brother was really moved, and hurriedly said: "Okay, okay, I'll take it back." It's rare for my wife to come over, and if I call her away at this time, I'm afraid she will be annoyed. ”

Although the thirteenth elder brother doesn't like his drill camp, they have been friends for more than 20 years, and the two are brothers-in-law and in-laws, and they can't say ugly words. put aside the affairs of the conspiracy officials, and when he talked about the sidelines, the atmosphere gradually eased.

The palace, the garden, the octagonal pavilion.

Zhao Jiashi looked at the familiar scenery around him. was very surprised, and said: "Sister, didn't your house be overhauled last year, why is this garden still the same as before?" The courtyard wall outside looks bright, and the gate of the palace is also magnificent, but the inside is a little simpler. Thirteen Fujin sat opposite her, poured her a cup of flower tea with his own hands, and said, "Our lord loves the old and doesn't let it be renovated." ”

Although the Thirteenth Elder Brother's Mansion was the Prince's Mansion in the early years, everything was regulated by Beizi. Ascended to the Prince's Palace. If you don't move the new house, you will have to upgrade the old house.

Zhao Jiashi thought about it and saw the house of the Thirteen Fujin, and the furniture was also the same as before, and then looked at the eighty percent of the new flag clothes on the Thirteen Fujin, frowned slightly, and said: "Repair the Wangfu, isn't it the money spent on the Internal Affairs Mansion?" Could it be that there is anything else to say about it? If you want me to say, my sister and the thirteenth master should move to the house. Don't talk about other people's houses, let's just say that the new mansion of the seventeenth master is just a regulation of the county king, but because it is newly built, it is more spacious than here, and it looks magnificent. ”

Erfu Jin Road! "You don't have to spend your own money, but the money of the Internal Affairs Office is not a bag, and the lord loves to worry, although there have been a lot of rewards in the palace in the past two years, but our lord has donated them to the inner treasury, I am afraid that the emperor's silver money will not be used

When Zhao Jiashi heard this, he was surprised: "Is this the case? I can't complain that the emperor weighs the thirteenth master, although the emperor has many siblings, he can do this for the emperor, except for the thirteenth master, there is no one else"

It is a joy when sisters are together.

But Thirteen Fujin also knows that his sister and brother-in-law are not idlers, and they will not really come to the door to talk about family life.

It's just that my sister doesn't say it, and it's not easy for her to ask questions as a younger sister, otherwise she seems to be unwilling to let people come to the door.

Zhao Jia's family said these words to her sister, and sent the maid who was waiting in front of her to send her down, but she was happier than her husband, and she directly made her intentions clear.

Thirteen Fujin listened with a smile, but refused to agree.

has been a wife for many years, even if it is her sister and brother-in-law, she will not forget the responsibility of being a wife.

The thirteenth elder brother is in a prominent position, how many people are watching, it can't be said that every step is frightening, and it is also unbearable in the high place. On the brother-in-law's side, now in the position of the squire of the Ministry of War, he can't be said to be subservient.

Zhao Jia's family saw that the Thirteen Fujin did not answer, and did not continue to fight, looked around, and saw that there were no outsiders, Fang lowered his voice and said: "My master's errand will not succeed, and I will not care about him." I heard that Bai Zhu was also released, and my sister must not soften him for a while. His donkey temper, except for his own family. Which one can stand it? Keeping him in Beijing is considered to have offended people. broke into trouble, and we sisters watched and sheltered. When he is outside, who will take him in his eyes. It's just that if you offend people, if you delay your errand, or poke out some baskets, won't it still be on the head of the Thirteenth Master? .

Thirteen Fujin listened to it and was quite moved.

These days, she is being upset by her brother's begging. After listening to my sister's words, even if I knew that she was selfish, I was powerless to refute it.

When they had dinner and saw off the Yiduli couple, the thirteenth elder brother and the thirteenth Fujin returned to the room, they couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Although none of them promised anything in front of the Ituri couple, they were somewhat persuaded by the couple.

Thirteen Fujin made up his mind to take a good look at his maiden brother and let him stay in the position of Yushi honestly.

Yushi is a speech official, and there are many people with a good temperament, even if the white pillar is not inferior, it is not conspicuous. Otherwise, let alone being released, it is to change Baizhu's yamen and treat him as a person, which will only offend people.

On the side of the thirteenth elder brother, there are some people who want to fulfill Yiduli.

The squire of the military department sounds decent, but he is not the palm seal officer. There are palms and princes on the top, and there are Manchu and Han Shangshu on the second floor, and the lower ones are the Shilangzhong.

This squire is also a laborious errand that is difficult to please. Diligent errands, work merit, to attribute the honor to the two scholars; If the errand is not done carefully. or if there is any arsenic leakage in the officials below, he has to carry the black pot for Shangshu.

Iduli said that "the child pillow." It's not worth a lot of money, but the thirteenth elder brother knows that it was bought by him three days ago, at a huge cost of talent.

With the relationship between the two families, he also gave gifts to him, although it was a little out of place, but in a hurry, it was not thoughtful, which was also ordinary. It seems that he really wants to be released,

Antiques worth 120,000 taels of silver are placed at home, what is it like, Yiduli finally knows, yes. That is, I like to itch my heart and I can't wait to touch it from time to time; I was so embarrassed that I struggled to make a move right away. In order to release it, he sold it. Zhuangzi came out with 60,000 taels of silver.

These silver coins are not for the purpose of giving gifts to the thirteenth elder brother, but for him to live a comfortable life after he is released. He is accustomed to enjoying it, and he cannot live a life of hardship. Not to mention, what does he want to do with this release. The governor and political envoy who left the capital brought their mother to their posts.

But he also saw that the emperor hated corrupt officials the most, otherwise he would not have copied so many courtiers as soon as he came to power.

He won't be like others, thinking that he has arrived at a place. can deceive the upper and lower to make money.

Although he went to Hua Heaven to buy antiques, he also knew in his heart that these things were just a face-to-face in front of the Thirteenth Elder Brother, and the Thirteenth Elder Brother would not accept them.

He had thought that the antique would remain in his possession for a while. Sell it at the end of the year.

At the end of each year, gift-giving in Beijing has become a trend, and antique calligraphy and paintings are in short supply, and you may be able to buy them at a good price.

Unexpectedly, this child's pillow cost 120,000 taels of silver. Not only did he spend all the money he could use, but he also had a shortfall of tens of thousands of dollars in the 60,000 taels of silver that he sold the land.

In this way, unless he sells things again, or looks for someone to borrow, he is afraid that he will not be able to return the silver borrowed from the Cao family on time.

Yi Duli was cheeky enough to borrow money from Cao Yi, because he knew that Cao Yi had it, and with the friendship between the two, Cao Yi would not refuse; But he couldn't let go of his face and didn't pay it back within the time limit.

Therefore, this baby's baby pillow appeared again at Hua Heaven's "Treasure Appreciation Meeting" a few days later.

Because there was a message released before, the previous one. "Baby's pillow. It was sold at a high price of 120,000 yuan, and this time the reserve price was 80,000 yuan.

In the end, 140,000 yuan was sold, and in addition to 30% of Huatian's commission, Yiduli still had 98,000 left, and 22,000 were lost before and after.

Rao is like this, and Iduli is still rejoicing. If he had sold it at the original price, he would have lost thirty-six thousand taels of silver; When it cannot be sold at the original price. The loss is even more. Even if he has always spent money lavishly, tens of thousands of taels are not a small amount.
