Chapter 852: Too many favors (monthly votes)(1/2)

., update the latest chapters as soon as possible!

Shu Shu looked at Brother Jiu.

The couple thought of going together.

She lowered her head and read through all the ten words. She picked up her pen and excluded "Sheng" and "Kang" from the front and "Mei", "Chun", "Xi" and "Yuan" from the back.

Brother Jiu leaned over and looked at it, saying, "What's wrong with the two words in front?"

Shu Shu said: "The sound of 'Sheng' is left, which is not pleasant; forget the word 'Kang', it is too important for my aunt and cousin's royal title..."

Brother Jiu twitched his lips.

He only thought about the year name and forgot about this.

He is not afraid of others saying that he is flattering. These two people just mean well, otherwise he would not have been selected for that year's number.

Shu Shu pointed to the next four and said, "Forget it, these sound like little geges. They are not tough enough."

Brother Jiu stopped and said, "Can't I protect her? Why are you so tough? Just be a squeamish little princess."

Shu Shu pointed at herself and said: "I am also a squeamish little princess. I guess Ama thought so at the beginning, but now Ama has nothing to worry about."

Brother Ninth: "..."

After a while, he reached out and gently touched Shu Shu's belly.

The baby above was motionless and unresponsive.

There is a small bulge slowly forming at the lower part.

It looks like a small fist, very delicate, not much bigger than a big thumb.

Brother Jiu's expression softened.

When Shu Shu saw this, she also laughed...

Faintly, there is also a little jealousy.

She restrained herself.

Fighting for favor is not about this, nor is it this time.

This is the flesh and blood conceived in her belly, not picked up.

There was movement outside, and it was Cui Baisui who came over to report: "Master, the chief minister of Zhijun Prince's Palace is here, and he has followed the prince's instructions to see you."

Brother Jiu was stunned for a moment, then he breathed a sigh of relief and said to Shu Shu: "I haven't seen you for a while. It's probably because the news about Prince Zhuang's Mansion has been spread over there. Brother is worried and sent someone to ask. I'll go and have a look."

Look."

Fortunately, it was only Chang Shi who came, not the eldest brother himself, otherwise I would have probably been talked about again.

After talking to Shu Shu, he got up and went to the flower hall in the front yard.

Chang Shi is waiting here. He is about the same age as the eldest brother. He is also the eldest brother's Hazhu family. He is a disciple of the Three Banners. After Cheng Ding left the study room, his family hired a bodyguard.

Whenever the eldest brother travels, he is always accompanied by his followers.

By the time the eldest brother opened the palace, this man was already a second-class guard, so he was recommended by the eldest brother to be the chief historian of the county prince's palace, a third-rank official.

Seeing Brother Jiu come in, the man stood up quickly, hit Qian'er, and said: "Slave Yuan Song has seen Brother Jiu, please be kind to Lord Jiu."

Since the elder brother is an old friend, the ninth elder brother is also familiar. When he was called, he stood up and directly called: "Old Song, why are you running the errands? What are your orders, elder brother?"

The man took out a purse from his sleeve, took out some banknotes from it, and said: "Our master said that he wants to buy the land in Tangquan, so he sent his slave to deliver the banknotes to Master Jiu."

Brother Ninth laughed "haha".

This is because I heard that he sold fifteen taels per mu of land to Prince Zhuang's Mansion, and they were worried that he would be picked on by his clan members and come to use it as a "participant in the market" for him.

What a great brother!

Brother Jiu nodded and said, "Okay! Wait until tomorrow when I go to see my eldest brother and see which piece of land I will pick."

Chang Shi said: "Our master has said that we don't have to choose the place. Master Jiu, you can just make arrangements according to the price of Prince Zhuang's Mansion. It doesn't need to be lower. If the banker's tickets are not enough, we will make up for it."

Brother Jiu nodded and said: "Okay, I understand. Thank you on my behalf."

It was getting late, so Chang Shi finished his errands and got up to leave.

Before Brother Ninth left, there was another movement.

Su Peisheng is here.

It also means almost the same thing.

"Our master said, compare it with the price of Prince Zhuang's Mansion. If others ask, I will just say that it is the same price, and there is no need to be criticized..."

In that case, there would be no suspicion of taking advantage of the situation and blackmailing Prince Zhuang.

"Our master also said that the clan respects the relatives, so how should I collect the money and return the money, and also return some gifts, such as lakes, rocks, flowers and trees, it looks respectable..."

This is the meaning of "a favor gives a horse, but a trade does not spare a needle".

Brother Jiu looked at the dealer and was speechless.

If others don’t know, doesn’t he still know?

He "borrowed" some money last year, and each government had very little savings left, so this is another thousand taels worth of money.

It seems that the pressure of favors is increasing.

However, Brother Ninth also appreciated it and nodded: "Tell Fourth Brother for me that I know how to deal with it. Thank you Fourth Brother for worrying about it."

Su Peisheng didn't wait long and got up to leave the house.

As a result, he happened to bump into the fifth elder brother and the eighth elder brother at the gate of the prince's residence.

"Fifth Master, Eighth Master..."

Su Peisheng was busy fighting Qian'er.

The fifth elder brother signaled him to get up and said: "Did the fourth elder brother send you here?"

"yes."

Su Peisheng responded, but it was just a response. His mouth was like a clam shell and he didn't mean to say anything.

The eighth prince glanced at Su Peisheng.

I didn't notice it at first, but now I realize that the fourth brother is a good manipulator, and the people around him follow strict rules.

The fifth elder brother waved his hand and said: "Okay, go back and resume your life..."

The fifth elder brother and the eighth elder brother entered the house directly.

Brother Jiu just came out of the flower hall and greeted two more people.

The fifth elder brother pointed outside and said: "I brought two pots of bamboo. Tomorrow you go to Prince Zhuang's Mansion to apologize. Take that with you so that the Prince can calm down. There are also two boxes, two boxes of tiger whips."

"

Brother Ninth's mouth twitched, a little surprised, and said: "How does Brother Five know about this?"

At noon, he sent Sun Jin to go to Prince Zhuang's Mansion to ask if Prince Zhuang would be there tomorrow. He wanted to go over and pay his respects.

After all, if you go by without saying hello, you will become an "uninvited guest", and you are afraid of missing out and wasting your efforts.

The reply was that I would be home tomorrow.

It's fine if other people know about it. They are better informed. My fifth brother is always at home these days and stays behind closed doors. How come he knows?

Brother Jiu had a bad premonition and said, "Isn't it the news coming from Prince Zhuang's Mansion?"

The fifth elder brother nodded without hesitation: "It's the news over there, saying that you are coming to apologize. I know everything you need to know."

Brother Ninth's face turned red.

That's not wrong, but why do you feel like you've become a big joke?

How many people are free to watch their own jokes?

He couldn't help complaining to the fifth elder brother: "What do you mean there? It's not a big deal, does it need to be advertised widely? It's too stingy..."

The fifth elder brother did not favor the ninth elder brother this time. He thought for a while and said: "It may not be what the uncle meant. It is probably arranged by the people below. Who told you to hurt the dignity of the uncle before? This time they want to do it too."

Bring back Prince Uncle's dignity."

Brother Ninth was silent.

I can't do such stupid things again.

It is better to be still than to move.

Otherwise, in the end, you will become shameless.

The eighth elder brother looked at the ninth elder brother and said with some worry: "Your Majesty has a bad temper, how about I accompany you there tomorrow? In front of others, your uncle will not have a bad temper..."

Brother Jiu hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Brother Bage, please don't bother me. It's my brother's fault. It's better to let him say this!"

The eighth prince hesitated and said: "Is this okay? If I really have to have an attack, can you bear it?"

Brother Jiu nodded and said: "Of course, my brother has been working in the Ministry of Internal Affairs for three years. There are uncles everywhere there, and he has been a grandson for several years. How can he be so irritable?"
