Otherwise, the original price will not be worth the money, and the discount will be in vain.

It was almost noon, and the ninth elder brother took out his pocket watch and took a look. The tenth elder brother should be coming soon.

He told his twelfth brother, "Don't eat in the Yamen alone. Take a walk back, take a nap, and come back in the afternoon to avoid being tired after a long day..."

The twelfth elder brother nodded.

Last month he was still eating at the Yamen, but this month it was even colder, and the doors and windows of the house were closed tightly, making it difficult for the smell to escape, so he no longer had meals at the on-duty room.

When there was a movement outside, Brother Jiu put on a cowl and a mink hat and planned to leave.

In addition to the tenth elder brother, there was also the thirteenth elder brother who came in through the curtain.

Both of them were dressed in the same color, with golden-colored end caps. They were both tall and thin, and looked like twin brothers.

Brother Twelve got up.

The tenth elder brother nodded to the twelve elder brother.

The thirteenth elder brother paid his respects to his two elder brothers.

The ninth elder brother looked at the thirteenth elder brother and said, "Why do you have time to come here? Isn't it said that the household department is busiest at the end of the year?"

Brother Thirteen showed a rare shyness and said: "I have something to do, and I want to ask Brother Ninth for an idea..."

Brother Jiu blinked and said, "Is the sun rising in the west? You and Fourth Brother are in the same yamen. When something happens, Master Xun comes to make the decision?"

Brother Thirteen's face turned redder, and his eyes became a little wandering.

Brother Jiu couldn't help but laugh out loud and said: "I understand, it's something that fourth brother can't come up with. So why do you want to curry favor with your father-in-law?"

The fourth elder brother’s father-in-law did not exist long before Si Fujin’s marriage, and he indeed had no experience.

The thirteenth elder brother's father-in-law was Mark Han, Minister of War, but he was dismissed from office in July due to the Yima Incident and remained in office.

Brother Thirteen hurriedly shook his head and said: "That's not it. I didn't want to curry favor with my father-in-law. I just wanted to ask Brother Ninth what gifts he had prepared when he went to Dutong Mansion before the wedding, for Mrs. Dutong, and... for...

Ninth sister-in-law’s…”

The date of his wedding was set before the Lunar New Year, and he would be accompanying him in a few days. He estimated that he would not be able to come back before the official date. He felt that he was a little neglectful of his future fortune, so he wanted to go visit his mother-in-law before leaving.

It would be great if I could see Fujin.

Brother Jiu felt a little guilty after hearing this.

He had not been to Dutong Mansion in the three months between the initial engagement and the wedding, and there was a serious Dragon Boat Festival in between.

No wonder Khan Amma asked him to re-learn the Book of Rites, which was indeed rude.
