The next day, Brother Jiu ended his "marriage leave" and began to study in the household department.

When he was about to arrive at the door of the Yamen of the household department, He Yuzhu opened the carriages, probed in and said, "Master, the carriage of the fourth master is ahead." ”

Brother Nine was very surprised: "Have you met the fourth brother?" That's a coincidence. ”

When the carriage arrived at the Yamen of the Ministry of Households, Brother Jiu jumped out of the carriage and saw that the fourth brother was already standing at the door, standing with his hands in his hands. He walked two steps quickly to meet him, and said with a smile: "Fourth brother, you have just arrived." ”

Su Peisheng couldn't help but say, "The master has been waiting here for a while. ”

The fourth elder brother glanced at Su Peisheng with some blame, Su Peisheng lowered his head, not wanting his master's intentions to be known.

Brother Jiu was a little moved in his heart: "Fourth brother ......"

The fourth elder brother straightened the hat on his head, and said lightly: "Okay, don't be a child, go in with the fourth brother, and the fourth brother will introduce you to the officials of the household department." ”

Brother Jiu's heart was warm, he felt that he chose the household department first, and he really didn't make a mistake.

The fourth elder brother led the ninth elder brother to visit the Hubu Shangshu first, and the Hubu Manshang book at this time was Fusuni's uncle Fucha Maqi, as soon as he saw the fourth elder brother and the ninth elder brother enter the door, he stood up with a smile: "The slave Maqi has seen the fourth Belle, the ninth elder brother." ”

The fourth elder brother said: "Lord Ma Qi doesn't need to be polite. ”

Brother Jiu also said: "Second uncle, in the future, my lord will come to the household department every day to report, don't be so polite anymore, otherwise Fu'er will lose her temper with her grandfather." ”

Hearing Brother Jiu intimately call Fu Suni's nickname, Ma Qi knew that the two of them had a good relationship, and they were not polite at the moment, so he laughed and said: "Etiquette cannot be abolished, at most when there is no one, the slave is a little presumptuous." ”

Brother Jiu also knew that with Ma Qi's cautious character, this was already his biggest concession, so he no longer demanded it.

The fourth elder brother's heart was unknown, and fluctuated slightly.

After that, the fourth elder brother led the ninth elder brother to meet Chen Tingjing, the Hanshang book of the household department, Chen Tingjing is not only the Hanshang book of the household department, but also the chief writer of the "Kangxi Dictionary", and the ninth elder brother had contact before, and the two are very familiar with each other.

As soon as Chen Tingjing saw the fourth elder brother leading the ninth elder brother in, he hurriedly saluted, and then grabbed the ninth elder brother: "The ninth elder is here, let's go to Wenyuan Pavilion first in a while, there are a few doubts about your Zhuyin, you can tell me more carefully." ”

"Where?"

Chen Tingjing took out a stack of things, obviously they had been prepared a long time ago, and then the two of them started talking as if no one was around, and the fourth elder brother couldn't help but have a smile on his face, shook his head, didn't bother them, and left first.

After going out, Su Peisheng glanced back at the two who were talking hotly, and sighed softly: "Master, don't worry about it now, right?" The ninth master is in the household department, with Lord Ma Qi and Lord Chen taking care of him, who will be embarrassed by him? ”

Su Peisheng was a little resentful in his heart, when the first master first came to the household department, these two were not as friendly to the master as they are to the ninth master now.

The fourth elder brother had a faint look of relief on his face: "The ninth brother is very good, he uses his strength to impress Lord Chen with him, even the third brother can't do this." ”

Although the third elder brother's literary attainments are the best among the brothers, and they are not worse than many Jinshi, but in the end, he is still relatively immature in the eyes of literary bigwigs like Chen Tingjing.

Brother Jiu's literary attainments are actually much worse, but he found another way to create "divine objects" such as pinyin and sentence reading, which has made a huge contribution to the spread and inheritance of culture, so many literary people have a good impression of Brother Jiu.
