After hearing what the fourth elder brother said, the ninth elder brother hesitated even more.
what happened?
They only have 230,000 taels of money, so don't they have anything serious to do?
But for every tael of silver now, Ninth Brother plans to give equal dividends later.
There seems to be no way to persuade people to borrow less.
He was speechless for a moment.
The fourth elder brother said: "Okay, that's it. I'll send someone back to give you the dealer's ticket..."
After saying that, he looked at the eldest brother and said: "Brother, this time the younger brother will not be reduced..."
Otherwise, out of respect, he should not be on par with the eldest brother, and should be one to twenty thousand taels less.
But this time it is not an ordinary group of people, but to mend a hole.
If he decreases, the number of princes below will also decrease, and it will be difficult for the ninth prince to fill the hole.
Do you still need to ask others to borrow money?
When the time comes, it's either the mother-in-law's family or the in-law's family, but the relatives will laugh along.
However, the fourth elder brother has always been careful, and he is afraid that it will become a common practice and embarrass other brothers, so he told the ninth elder brother: "Don't tell others that me and the eldest brother got this together. If others ask, just say one hundred thousand taels of silver." …”
After all, this is 150,000 taels, not 15,000 taels. If someone else had spent the household money, they wouldn't be able to get away with so much.
Brother Jiu nodded quickly and said, "Yeah, yeah, let's just say one hundred thousand taels!"
Otherwise, if everyone has more, the quota will be too much!
The original plan was to buy land for 1.2 million taels and build a hot spring palace for 50,000 taels.
Now 800,000 taels are in place.
Brother Ninth feels that he is a real person. Although borrowing money from everywhere means "borrowing chickens and laying eggs", he cannot give up money in vain.
He planned to pool Shu Shu's and his own money together and take a share of it.
To avoid having to go back and let everyone settle accounts, it seemed like he had just talked about it.
The eldest brother looked at the ninth brother and said with a smile: "This is the first time I see you like this. Are you afraid of taking a chance?"
Brother Jiu nodded honestly and said: "Yes, after all, it took two and a half years of hard work. Don't make it difficult for your brothers, as well as your sisters-in-law."
The eldest brother nodded and said, "Well, that's fine too."
This saves everyone from making a fool of themselves, causing the couple to start bickering again, and blame Lao Jiu again.
The ninth elder brother glanced at the eldest elder brother and then at the fourth elder brother. He felt that some things had to be said to the end, otherwise, if he turned back, he might not be able to get his dividends.
He said: "My brother is not young anymore. He is about to become an Ama. I don't want to be that shameless person. But we have agreed that the brothers will lend me the money and my brother will appreciate it. But when I get the money back, my brother will If you want to convert interest, brothers have to collect it!"
The eldest brother was impatient and said: "There is no such calculation!"
Brothers are short of money and just misappropriate it for a few years and charge interest. What has happened?
Fourth Brother also frowned and said: "No need!"
To lay out such a large business, it only takes three years to make profits, and it is difficult to pay back the capital, so what interest is there?
This is too big to say.
Although the weaving field had the selfish motives of Brother Jiu, it was still a service to the country.
Brother Ninth couldn't help but be anxious and said: "Eldest brother and fourth brother, even if they are beaten, they are not beaten like this. Do you want the younger brother to owe you a lifetime of favors? Brothers, let's settle the score..."
The eldest brother looked at the ninth brother and said with a headache: "Why bother so much? Why do you think so much?"
Brother Jiu said: "Brother knows that the two brothers are loyal, but aren't there other brothers involved? What about several families? Their money is not blown by the strong wind. If they buy a house or land, they can still I'm very grateful to my brother for renting it out to collect rent and interest, and I can't be shameless and take advantage of my brothers!"
The eldest brother glanced at the ninth brother.
The princes all have their own dignity and integrity.
But it also depends on when.
Seeing that I am about to be in debt worth millions, I actually want to pay back the principal with interest...
This person is also stubborn at heart.
The eldest brother nodded casually and said: "Okay, it's up to you!"
The fourth elder brother was nearby and thought he understood the ninth elder brother's concerns.
This is because I want brothers to help me, but I also don’t want to cause discord among everyone because of the money, so this is considered thoughtful.
After all, there are those who are willing to borrow, and there are also those who don’t have enough money, and those who are reluctant to borrow.
He nodded and said, "That's all, it's considered comprehensive."
Brother Ninth immediately beamed with joy, nodded repeatedly and said, "It's settled, then we will follow my brother's plan!"
The eldest elder brother and the fourth elder brother returned to Luan with their guards before they returned home, so they left the palace together without further ado.
Brother Jiu looked at the backs of the two of them and was in a good mood.
With a bit of pride, he said to He Yuzhu: "Look, what are brothers? This is a brother!"
He Yuzhu smiled and didn't want to speak.
This is a brother, why haven't we been close before?
My master's popularity was something I couldn't really describe before.
That is to say, now that Fujin is here, things are completely different.
In the past, let alone the eldest brother and the fourth brother, even the fifth brother was not very close to his master.
The ninth elder brother was a little impatient and walked quickly towards his elder brother...
*
The second main house.
Aunt Qi, Xiaotang, and Xiaosong surrounded Shushu, as if they were looking at a big baby and couldn't bear to look away; Peanut, Longan, and Hazelnut were on the second floor, breathing lightly for fear of being disturbed.
As for Xiaochun and Walnut, they went to Yikun Palace to report the good news after Shu Shu's instructions.
As for the couple's heir, Kangxi and Concubine Yi were probably more concerned about it than their two rightful owners.
Grandma Qi never put her palm down, chattering about "Buddha" and "Eternal Life Heaven" and thanked her for several rounds.
Xiao Song was gearing up and said with a smile: "From now on, I will be my little brother's martial arts master!"
Xiaotang was nearby and started thinking about the new menu.
At this time, one person needs to eat and two people can make up for it, so he cannot lose his mouth.
But with the lessons learned from Qifujin, it’s not easy to get fat anymore.
I have prepared it for Concubine Yi several times before. It is a snack that can help you grind your teeth and keep you from getting fat.
You can make it first this time, and then add or subtract other things according to your Fujin taste later.
When Brother Jiu came back, he looked at the stars holding the moon and said, "What are you talking about?"
Shu Shu looked at Brother Jiu and said, "Xiao Chun and Walnut went to Yikun Palace to announce the good news. I was wondering whether to let grandma leave the palace today to announce the good news, or whether to go tomorrow morning."
Hearing what she said, Brother Jiu couldn't sit still and said, "It's better for me to go, so that my father-in-law and mother-in-law won't worry about anything. Mommy can't explain clearly, so I'll go over and talk about it."
After all, it was him, the husband, who was sitting, lying and living together, not the nanny.
Shu Shu glanced at him and said, "I left the palace, but wasn't I grounded?"
Yesterday I went out to pick up the driver. There was nothing I could do about it. I had already asked for permission.
Is this Kangxi's words to lift the "ban"?
Brother Jiu stood up and said: "The ban will continue tomorrow, and then I will stay with you at home for a few days, and then go to the Yamen later in the day..."
When Ninth Brother goes to announce the good news, his weight is naturally different from when Grandma announces the good news.
Shu Shu was also happy that he respected his parents, nodded and said: "Then go and come back early!"
At this point, she thought of Mrs. Bo and added: "I also met A Mou and asked her to take care of me."
This allowed Madam Uncle to be mentally prepared. After they moved out, they could take her to live in the Prince's Mansion.
It took several years to conceive, give birth to, and raise the child.
A "short stay" can lead to a long-term stay.
Brother Jiu nodded and said: "I don't have to worry about it, but I won't mention the moving matter for now, for fear that they will stop me."
When it comes to taboos, elders are more careful.
"Well, well, don't mention it!" Shu Shu said.
At this moment, everyone quietly left the room, and Guiyuan was waiting in the main room, serving tea.
Brother Jiu went to change clothes for a while.
When going to Yue's house, it is definitely not appropriate to wear old clothes that are not old.
He put on new clothes and hung a purse around his waist.
After thinking about it, he told He Yuzhu: "Get more rewards and reward them later."
He Yuzhu looked at Shu Shu.
Shu Shu then told Gui Yuan: "Get a few more purses."
Guiyuan responded and went to Dongcijian to take out eight purses.
He Yuzhu took it and stuffed it in both sleeve pockets.
Brother Jiu took He Yuzhu away boldly and high-spirited.
When I walked to the front yard, I happened to meet Xiaochun and Walnut.
"Master Jiu..."
The two of them stopped in a hurry and retreated to the side.
Brother Jiu also stopped and said, "Are you happy, the empress? Do you have any instructions?"
Xiaochun said: "Huanxi, please let Fujin have a good rest and stop worrying about the greetings."
Brother Jiu nodded and took He Yuzhu out.
Walnut was worried and whispered: "Sister, will the Empress choose someone for Master Jiu in the draft of the Ministry of Internal Affairs next February?"
Xiao Chun shook his head and said: "There is also the Fifth Baylor Mansion. Except for the guest bed gege according to the rules, the empress should not interfere in the internal affairs of the Baylor Mansion and the elder brother's office..."
Walnut breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good."
It is a great joy for Fujin to be pregnant, but it is best that the loving situation between husband and wife should not change.
They are all girls under Fujin's name, and what they care most about is Fujin's status and interests.
There is a precedent for Taozi, and Xiaochun has been paying close attention to Walnut and the other four palace maids this year.
It saves a lot of trouble for those who don’t have to climb high branches.
Especially walnuts are now used as well.
When I go out in two years, Walnut will be the one who takes over as the head of housekeeping.
Xiao Chun reminded her: "Jiu Ye and Fujin are still thinking about moving. When the time comes to divide the households and the population, will your family be registered under Jiu Ye's name? Do you have an idea?"
Although when the princes were divided into households, the left-collar population and the inner-manager population were mostly distributed neatly based on the left-collar and inner-manager population, but there were also exceptions.
That is the current staff of the elder brother, the nannies, nannies and palace maids. If the master has someone who is easy to handle, they are also willing to serve. They can be transferred to the whole family and placed in the left collar of the coat in the prince's mansion.
Walnut said: "Thank you sister for the tip. I have discussed it with Enie and I plan to go along, but my uncle has not confirmed it yet."
Xiao Chun muttered: "Don't force it, just wait until your brother stands up, and then you can repay your uncle."
Walnut nodded in agreement. She felt that the opportunity was rare and it would be a pity to miss it...
*
In Yikun Palace, Concubine Yi was still smiling from ear to ear.
Although I got some news a few days ago, and today was expected, I feel at ease after all.
"Lao Jiu is lucky..."
Concubine Yi and Peilan sighed.
You must know that the Fujin that Kangxi first planned to point out to Brother Jiu was the daughter of Aling'a.
Aling'a's daughter was only fourteen years old when she was drafted last year, and she still looked like a child.
She's not as good-looking as Shu Shu, and she doesn't seem to be smart either. How can she be the match for that old guy, Aunt Liu?
It’s hard to say that they were all caught by the lake together.
By then, let alone the child, even Brother Jiu's body will be ruined...
