Three days later, Brother Jiu still acted like a fool and took over a shop and two shops newly bought by Shu Shu at 20% higher than the original price.
Why are shops in the inner city so scarce?
It's simply priceless.
Even if there are families in the Eight Banners who are in trouble, their properties are rarely sold to outsiders. Most of them are taken over by members of the same clan or in-laws.
Not to mention the land on the outskirts of Beijing. As the population increased, the price of land outside Beijing increased several times from the two or three taels of silver in the Shunzhi period. It was rare to get a chance to sell it. Many people's land was bought in Baoding. .
Brother Jiu doesn't allow Guidan to continue to use his own brand, so he can't even hope to buy a suitable property in a short time.
However, Brother Jiu had limited money on hand, so he took 5,000 taels of banknotes as a deposit, and went back to collect the remaining 5,488 taels before transferring the ownership.
The two still met at Shun'an Silver Building. Shu Shu looked at the 5,000 taels of banknotes in his hand and was satisfied: "Don't worry about the rest, I will keep it for Master Jiu anyway..."
Brother Jiu returned to his little rooster appearance and said arrogantly, "Huh! I'm just tight for a while, but I'll give it to you in two days!"
Shu Shu nodded and said in a very sincere tone: "Master Jiu is the prince's elder brother, so naturally he is not short of these coins..."
Brother Jiu felt like there were only blue veins popping up on his temples.
lack!
My bald brother earns fifty taels of silver per month, which is only six hundred taels a year. But the dozens of people he serves need to be rewarded. How many are left in a year?
Fortunately, there were birthdays and New Year holidays, rewards from the elders, and filial piety from the maternal family, so I managed to save more than ten thousand taels.
The former Qianjinfang, a shop bought with 1,600 taels of silver, and more than 4,000 taels of gold and silver jewelry worth more than 4,000 taels of gold and silver in the cabinet warehouse, this is half of the private house, all occupied by Dong E's family.
This time, the Dong E family took advantage of the real estate purchase again! What a money rake!
Dong Eshi, wait!
So proud! Don't think I didn't notice that you were suppressing a smile?
Wait for the day you fall into my hands!
Brother Nine came in a hurry and left in a hurry.
Shu Shu, always generous, directly counted out the 440 taels of silver notes and handed them to Fu Song: "Two to one makes five..."
The idea to buy this time was Shu Shuti's, but it was Fusong who led people to follow him for most of the month, inquired about information from inside and outside, and followed the seller to deal with the hard work.
Fusong took it with a smile, took out only forty taels of banknotes and put it in his purse, and handed the rest back and said: "I'll take this, Sister Datou will keep it for me, forget about Qianjinfang..."
Shu Shu shook his head: "One code is one code, this business always needs people to keep an eye on it... 20% share is not much, don't be verbose... Just wait until your birthday is over to divide the household, save the money up front It’s quite a lot. When the time comes, I will use the money to buy a few shops in the outer city to collect rent..."
In fact, Fusong's great-grandfather was rebellious in his love for Du Li. Not only did he abandon the clan, but after Taizong's death, the princes of the Eight Banners swore to support the prince's accession to the throne and his two uncles, Jierhalang and Dorgon, refused to take the oath. As a result, Dorgon was put to death.
In fact, Ai Duli was not opposed to the prince's succession, but was not angry with his uncle Jilharang for assisting the government, because Jilhalang's blue-flag cow record was owned by his father Amin Beile.
A moment of loyalty not only harmed one's own health, but also affected his descendants. Later, Shunzhi's grace allowed several of his concubine brothers to rejoin the clan. Only Ai Duli's descendants were not spared.
Kangxi had been in power for decades, but he never thought of giving grace to this group, and could only wait for the next emperor.
I guess Luo Shi had the same plan, so he kept a close eye on the young general Fu Song and didn't let him slack off. He only stopped working on it after he got older in the past two years.
Who would have thought that Kangxi's standby time would be so long? There are still more than twenty years to go.
Shu Shu knew it well, and wanted to help Fusong establish a family business, marry a proper wife, and then wait for the Yongzheng Dynasty to become an official, and if not, train the next generation.
Fusong grinned.
Where is the lack of money?
His uncle and aunt regarded him as no different than their son, and they were never tighter on him when it came to money. In the eyes of his sister, they always regarded him as a little pitiful person.

Anjun Prince's Mansion, the inner residence spans the west courtyard.
The girl in the red flag dress is 16 or 17 years old. She usually wears a gold-set ruby flower on one side of her bun, a hollow gold butterfly on the other side, pearl earrings on her ears, and a looming gold bracelet on her wrist. She is rich and noble. It was the woman who once said in front of the yamen gate of the Bingma Si in Beicheng that the Dong E family was rampant. She was the granddaughter of the royal family and the future Eighth Blessed Jin Guo Luoluo Gege.
If you really want to talk about it, her Guo Luo Luo family has nothing to do with Gui Dan's Guo Luo Luo family. One is the Zhenglan Banner, and the other is the Ministry of Internal Affairs coated with the Yellow Banner. At most, their clans are in the same place, which is not the case at all. The same ancestor, but the same surname after all, so he didn't want to be looked down upon so he said a few words.
At the moment, she raised her chin with a look of displeasure on her face: "What about the 'Five Ministers' and the 'Eight Families'? Such a great name, is it more noble than the blood of the clan?"
The nun next to me was in her forties, and she was well-groomed. There was a faint golden square on her hair. She was no worse than the other mistresses in other families. She echoed: "Of course I can't compare with Gege. The Dong E family is famous, so we can." Guo Luoluo's family is also an old honor, so Dong E Gege's maternal family has just changed the clan, so how can it be compared to Gege? The maternal family is from the royal family...his maternal grandmother is still the vassal Princess..."
Guo Luoluoge was still dismayed: "Why did you refer to your direct descendant Fujin this year? The day after tomorrow is the wedding ceremony. Looking at the appearance, I'm afraid the wedding will be this year... It's really disappointing! The tenth elder brother and the ninth elder brother are the same age. This time Just pointed at the grid..."
Grandma couldn't help but smile bitterly. Her own character had always been competitive, but what could be compared with this?
The eighth prince has been on duty for a long time, and last month he sealed Dorobele. The ninth prince is just a bald brother.
My own Gege's wedding is scheduled for next month, and the dowry is the top priority.
Generous marriages were common in the capital, and the birth of the prince Fujin was a joy for the whole family. The whole family would help with the dowry, but Gege was raised in the palace since she was young and was not close to the family, so the dowry could only be prepared by the palace.
The prince has always loved his niece, but the head of the palace is Tai Fujin, who is not Gege's biological grandmother, so he must be careful not to be fooled by Tai Fujin. Fu Jin, who was born too late, just ate and chanted Buddha's name, and left the whole Princess in the hands of the prince and his wife, ignoring everything else.
Nanny carefully reminded her: "Gege, does the prince have something to say about the dowry?"
Guo Luoluoge felt a bit proud: "Since the emperor's marriage in the thirty-first year, my uncle has sent people to Jiangnan to buy dowries and brought back two boats of things. Not to mention one hundred and twenty, it was two hundred Twenty kilos is enough. I don’t believe that Dong E’s family can come up with anything decent in a few months! By comparison, who knows who is shameless..."
*
In a blink of an eye, it was the sixth day of April, the first engagement ceremony between Shu Shu and Ninth Prince.
The first engagement ceremony between the prince's elder brother and Fujin had already taken place. It was all arranged by the Ministry of Internal Affairs in accordance with regulations, and the emperor also provided rice cakes and royal wine.
The Ninth Prince wore an azure-colored dragon coat exclusive to the prince, with four groups of five-clawed golden dragons embroidered on the front, one on each shoulder and a five-color cloud in between. He was led by two ministers of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, accompanied by the Fifth Prince and the Eighth Prince. Come and meet Fujin’s parents.
Qi Xi was also in Jifu, and surrounded by his relatives, he greeted the prince's descent outside the gate.
Brother Jiu dismounted and was escorted into Dong E's house.
When they arrived at the main hall, the ninth elder brother knelt down and bowed to Qi Xi, his father-in-law. Qi Xi bowed three times in return, which was considered a complete visit.
The ministers, bodyguards, and officials of Dong E's Zhenghong Banner all attended the first wedding ceremony of the prince and Fujin. The banner owner, Prince Kang, was unable to come in person due to his filial piety, but he also sent senior officials to help.
Just because it was not far away from the eighth prince's first wedding ceremony, there were few people who could compare with it. Compared with the first wedding ceremony at Bu'an County Prince's Mansion, it was filled with princes and dignitaries, but it was not deserted. The hall was full of people wearing high hats, and Dong E was conspicuously summoned. The wealth and prosperity of the clan.
In fact, Qi Xi has reduced the number of people at the engagement banquet, but only for people from close branches of his own banner. If he includes his in-laws and people from the other two banners, the number of people at the banquet will be doubled.
In order to support his daughter, Qi Xi naturally wanted to do it in a lively manner, but was dissuaded by Shu Shu when booking guests. Taking advantage of Prince Kang's filial piety, he did not invite any of his in-laws, otherwise it would be like the prince colluding with the clan. The bridge is unpredictable. Since Qi Xi is the commander-in-chief of the Eight Banners and a trusted minister of the emperor, he is more suitable for "cautious independence".
Looking at the people in the hall, the highest ones are the Duke of Chaopin and the Uncle Chaopin, and the lowest are from the fifth-grade bodyguards. There are more than thirty official officials in this sect alone. Ninth Prince is not happy. This is for Do you want to show off your power?
Show the confidence of the Dong E clan?
Looking at Dong E's younger brothers, there are five brothers-in-law in a row. In front of them are the sick brother-in-law and brother Fusong.
After taking a closer look, Brother Ninth couldn't help but murmur, Dong E is really Qi Xi's biological child, not foster care?
How come he is only 30% similar to his brothers, but 70% or 80% similar to Fu Song?
However, Brother Jiu just thought that the Eight Banners household registration was the most careful, and the concubine, adoption, and adoption were all clearly marked, not to mention that Fusong was of clan blood, and it was impossible to take his surname.
He was in a very complicated mood. As soon as the initial engagement ceremony was over, he was about to prepare for the wedding. He was really going to be husband and wife with Dong E!
It makes people irritated, but there is also a vague expectation. Is it to teach Dong E a better lesson? Brother Ninth couldn’t tell clearly either.
Brother Ninth Brother was so distracted and did not look happy. In the eyes of everyone in the Dong E family, many people became dark-faced.
Qi Xi, who was originally smiling, now smiled more gloomily; Shu Shu's eldest brother Zhu Liang took the initiative to give a "hand-holding gift" to Brother Jiu, but his strength was a bit weak.
The fifth elder brother and eighth elder brother who accompanied him noticed that something was wrong in the atmosphere, and both noticed that the ninth elder brother was rude, so they had to warn each other quietly.
"Don't be so shameless. Today can't be compared with Lao Ba's engagement ceremony. That's the face of Prince An's family for several generations... The Dong E family knows the rules and etiquette and behaves in a responsible manner. Only then is it safe..." This is the fifth elder brother's sincere instructions. .
"After all, you have to worry about Mr. Peng Chun. Over there is the palace of the Duke and the head of the direct branch. Don't get too busy here..." The eighth prince also warned carefully.
Brother Jiu was impatient, but he knew that both brothers had good intentions, so they both nodded and listened.
At this time, when it came time to go with his brother-in-law to worship his mother-in-law at the banquet in the inner courtyard, Brother Jiu was a little curious.
I wonder what Dong E is like at home? Are you always unruly or coy? I can’t believe that she has such awesome and stinky behavior in front of her elders!
