Brother Jiu didn't dare to say anything more.

Otherwise, the borrowed money will really lead to revenge.

Brother Seventh turned and left, walking slowly.

If you don't look carefully, you won't notice any inconvenience in his legs and feet at all. Looking at the back actually adds a bit of momentum.

Brother Ninth's eyes fell on Brother Seven's feet.

The seventh prince is wearing boots and looks pretty much the same from the outside.

But there should be something special in the right boot.

Brother Jiu looked at it with a bit of sadness in his heart.

My seventh brother may have suffered unfairness and grievances when he was a child, but now he is considered lucky.

Qi Fu Jin is also good.

Although he is not as good as his own Fujin, he can still be regarded as one of the best among the princes.

When they returned to the main room, Brother Ninth told Shu Shu: "Brother Qi left in a hurry today. When you meet Sister-in-law Qi the day after tomorrow, you will also mention the matter of Hongluo Temple."

The day after tomorrow is September 15th, the day when I go to Ningshou Palace to pay my respects.

Shu Shu shook her head and said, "It's not very appropriate. Sister-in-law Seven's situation is different. The imperial doctor said she should be raised for two years."

The birth in May, due to the large size of the fetus, took a long time, and Qi Fujin's foundation was also damaged.

Qi Fujin himself could see clearly that the eldest sons of his concubines and concubines were already there, so it didn't matter if his legitimate sons were born sooner or later.

Brother Jiu said: "The incense from Hongluo Temple will be cheaper than outsiders..."

At this point, he regretted it and said: "Send someone over tomorrow to talk to the abbot and move two more bamboo bushes over, so as not to go back and grab them. It's a loss!"

Shu Shu was a little worried about the bamboo in Hongluo Temple. Can it still become a bamboo forest scenery for future generations?

Brother Jiu asked her to put away the banknotes and called He Yuzhu, saying: "Go to Yuqing Palace and ask if the prince is free for the afternoon. I want to go and say hello."

He Yuzhu responded.

Brother Jiu said to Shu Shu: "It's early to leave early, I've also got a mission with Khan Ama!"

The key is to be careful.

After collecting a round of money, the brothers are not big talkers, but what about the people around them?

There are also palace attendants in Yanxi Palace who may not reveal themselves without a few words.

Go to Yuqing Palace early, finish the lake, and tell the eldest brother that the price is one hundred thousand taels, so as to save the prince from adding more money if he really has the confidence.

After talking about Yuqing Palace, the ninth elder brother thought of the third elder brother and the eighth elder brother again, and said: "These two should not have to go up the pole to beg again. I mentioned it the day before yesterday, and today the brothers also entered the palace one after another. , as long as you are not a fool, you should know what is going on, whether you are willing to borrow money or not depends on these two days!"

Even this experience of borrowing money was enough to make him proud.

What is good popularity?

This is good popularity!

There is no need to beg grandpa to sue grandma, it is just a matter of one sentence.

Shu Shu looked at the account books compiled in his hands and said: "Now these, plus the five hundred thousand taels in the inner treasury, have already cost a lot. At this time, I am looking forward to Sanbeile sending scriptures."

Brother Jiu smiled and said: "If that's the case, it will also teach the third child a lesson. This person should be more kind and have more blessings..."

Perhaps the brothers were too loyal in the morning, and even the ninth elder brother felt that the brothers and sisters were respectful.

The third child?

There is a reason why your temperament is developed like this.

Even if they are not close, there is no need to really have a grudge, just ignore them.

Shu Shu was actually looking forward to the eighth prince pretending to be stupid.

This works better.

When the eighth elder brother gets into trouble, he probably won't have the shame to talk to the ninth elder brother.

Unfortunately, the opposite happened.

There is another customer in front of us.

The eighth prince is here.

When Cui Baisui came to report, the couple were silent.

Brother Jiu rubbed his face and said to Shu Shu: "I am actually a little scared..."

Shu Shu squeezed his hand and said: "Mr. Xu Shi is overthinking. I think the people of Babel have acted carefully. Even if they took less money today, it must be because they are not well-informed; if they ask the eldest brother or the fourth brother, , then the one sent should be one hundred thousand taels..."

Brother Jiu was startled and said, "Is this really the case?"

He didn't have much expectations for Starling before.

I have figured out that after these years of dating, this elder brother is warm and gentle, and he is like a spring breeze when he cares about people. But when it comes to it, he is the same as the third elder brother, and he talks more often.

It's just that not only did I not care about it before, but I became more sympathetic to this brother because of this. I felt that he didn't have a maternal family to help him, and the concubine herself was not rich, so she was tight on money.

That's why he asked Guidan to buy a property last year, and he also took the opportunity to make some supplements.

Even for the fifth elder brother, he didn't worry about it.

But in the past year since he took over the Ministry of Internal Affairs, he knew that his previous ideas were naive and ridiculous.

Concubine Wei's natal family is in the imperial dining room.

And he's not just a casual handyman, he's also the main manager.

Even if the Wei family is not on par with Concubine De's family, it is still the second most powerful force in the imperial kitchen, and the difference is not huge.

That's where the most oil and water is.

Can the Wei family pay less tribute to their concubines and princes?

This time, he felt that his eighth brother was just saying some comforting words, and the money he could get should be considerable.

Unexpectedly, his wife's view was different from his own.

Brother Jiu was a little confused and said: "But when the relationship between me and Bage was the best, Bage was not generous to me. Now that our relationship is far away, will he be more generous?"

Shu Shu thought for a while and said: "'Resentment arises from those who are near, and respect arises from those who are far away'? Just like us, we should always be polite to outsiders."

In fact, she felt that the eighth prince also had a hidden flattering personality.

This kind of person prefers to be recognized and praised by outsiders, but is prone to be mean and slow to treat those around him.

Brother Jiu became even more confused after hearing this.

It's just that the customers are waiting at the front, so it's not easy to keep people waiting.

Brother Ninth went to the front yard.

Shu Shu sat behind the bookcase, spread out the paper that Brother Jiu had written before, and added a few strokes on it.

After the eldest brother, he added 50,000 taels to his concubine.

After the fourth elder brother, he added an additional sixty thousand taels and placed a private bet.

What the fifth elder brother writes here is two hundred thousand taels.

The remaining thirty thousand taels will be returned later.

The seventh elder brother wrote 150,000 taels here.

Shu Shu's eyes wandered between several concubines and concubines.

Somewhat confused.

Should I tell my mother-in-law or not?

If I really want to hide it, I'm afraid I'll be annoyed later...

Front yard, living room.

The eighth prince sat on the chair and looked at the tea in the cup.

It was also chrysanthemum tea, but the teaware was ordinary, not as exquisite as the one in my house, and it was made of ordinary white porcelain.

This year, everyone has been praising Jiu Fu Jin.

Is Jiu Fujin really that good?

After all, she is just a young lady, a little less refined.

And the Dong E family is not as innocent as they showed before. There have been a lot of dirty things this year.

He's not a fool.

Long before the southern tour, he knew that the source of the estrangement between brothers lay in the Dong E family.

In the past, I heard people mention the "pillow style", which is considered to have gained some experience.

It was just that he had acted too hastily and exposed his whereabouts, which made Brother Jiu alienate from him.

I thought I would start to mend the relationship after moving.

I didn't expect that now would be an opportunity.

When the ninth elder brother came in, the eighth elder brother said with worry on his face: "I know your temperament. You care about face the most. Now that you have opened your mouth to everyone, you must have encountered difficulties..."

As he said that, he took out a purse from his sleeve, pushed it over, and said: "I asked the fourth brother, and the fourth brother said he sent one hundred thousand taels. Here is one hundred and thirty thousand taels, and the remaining thirty thousand taels , there is no need to tell others."

The ninth elder brother looked at the eighth elder brother with a particularly complicated mood.

People's hearts are so strange.

It was also a hundred thousand taels of silver, and Brother Ba was not stingy this time, but it didn't touch him as much as Brother Seven's 150,000 taels.

I am biased and treat others too harshly.

Who in this world can be without selfish motives?

I can only say that I had something wrong before.

My father doesn't kiss me and my mother doesn't care about me, so I want to find brotherly love with my eighth brother.

In those years, the eighth prince did act like a good brother, and his mood improved a lot, so he should be content.

Not a loss.

The eighth prince said shamefully: "I should have collected more, but I have purchased several properties in the past six months and asked my disciples to borrow some. Now this is all that is left on the books."

Brother Jiu shook his head and said: "That's enough. Forget about the 30,000. Brother Bage should put some money in his hands instead of putting it all in his account..."

It was rare for the Eighth Prince to be sincere today, and he wanted to be sincere for once, but he also knew the principle of "not being close to each other", so he only said: "I can't trust my subordinates. My younger brother discovered this year at the Ministry of Internal Affairs. There are all kinds of slaves who are greedy for money, and the master of Hu Nong is eager to use all the 'Thirty-Six Strategies'. Brother Bago, please be more careful..."

When he finished speaking, Brother Jiu was stunned.

"Isn't it time to be close"?

Compared with Eighth Prince's wet nurse and wet nurse, am he already "sparse"?

The eighth prince had misunderstood.

He thought that Brother Jiu's words were lies, and that these irrelevant remarks were just a disguised form of asking where the remaining one hundred thousand taels of silver were.

After all, everyone knew that the prince had divided his household into two hundred and thirty thousand taels of silver.

He suppressed his displeasure and nodded: "Well, I asked people to pay attention, but the one hundred thousand taels of silver did buy land. By chance, the clan brother of Prince Shuncheng wanted to sell the garden and land..."

This is talking about the retired prince of Shuncheng Palace.

Although he lost his title of prince, the title was still passed down to his family, and he lived a luxurious and comfortable life.

On a spring day, Prince Ping's palace "offered a garden", which alarmed the retired prince.

His Haidian Villa is less than one mile away from the garden of Pingjun Prince's Mansion.

Presumably they were afraid of the expansion of the Royal Garden, so they also packaged and sold the Haidian Villa and a large village near Baiwang Mountain together.

The buyer is none other than Babel Mansion.

The ninth elder brother glanced at the eighth elder brother.

Buying land and real estate is indeed a serious matter, but with Yaqib's greed, there may be a price difference in the middle.

He reminded: "That clan brother doesn't seem to come out to meet people very often, but Brother Batsu has seen him?"

The eighth elder brother shook his head and said: "When I bought the land, I was patrolling the south with my army; when I came back, my clan brother went to a villa in the mountains to escape the summer heat!"

The ninth elder brother wanted to speak directly to Yaqib, but he stopped when he thought of the fourth elder brother.

never mind.

I'd better trust my fourth brother.

I have talked too much now, and when the incident involving Yaqib comes out, Bago should also be suspicious of me.

He shut his mouth again.

Seeing that the ninth elder brother had no intention of talking, the eighth elder brother also felt that it was boring and stood up and said: "That's it for now, don't worry about getting angry. If there is still something wrong in the end, send He Yuzhu over and tell me, I Let me help you think of something."

Brother Jiu quickly waved his hand and said: "That's enough. It's a bit risky now. If you want to buy a property, Brother Bage, you can take some more back. Fifty thousand yuan is not a lot."

The eighth prince smiled and did not answer.

What is this word?

The same prince, why can the eldest brother and fourth brother borrow a hundred thousand, but get half of it when they get it from him?

Just because he is the son of a concubine?

Are they the concubine's sons?

Thinking of the situation of Prince Rao Yu and his son in Prince An's Mansion, the eighth prince felt cold.

Did the princes of the Eight Banners also view him in this way, thinking that he was half shorter than other concubines and the sons of noble concubines?
