Brother Jiu said: "It should be a lot, right? I remember that there seemed to be a lot of preparations around the Mid-Autumn Festival. Perilla leaves and eggplant are better, and Babao pickles are the most popular!"
The fifth elder brother smiled and said: "Then take a jar..."
After saying that, he saw Brother Si and said, "Brother, would you like some side dishes, which are great with porridge..."
Brother Si was about to wave his hand, then thought about it and nodded, "Then I'll bring some to try."
It's not that I'm greedy, but I'm thinking that Brother Jiu borrowed a round of money. It must have been the most uncomfortable time in his heart. He was afraid that he was too unorthodox and would not be able to wipe it off his face.
Seeing that the fourth elder brother was sitting firmly and had no intention of getting up, the fifth elder brother knew that this elder brother had something to do.
It's just that it's hard to say it in front of him.
It should also be a gift of money.
I just don’t know how much.
The fifth elder brother glanced at the ninth elder brother and felt that his younger brother was a bit of a thief.
This is because I have made two preparations and borrowed a round of silver from my brothers. If I can borrow it, I won't have to use the five hundred thousand taels of silver in the inner treasury.
It can only be said that the ninth elder brother was vague. The fifth elder brother only added his and the tenth elder brother's share, thinking that the total was seven or eight hundred thousand taels.
Even so, the money in the inner treasury should not be used unless it can be used.
There are accounts over there. Now I can hide it for a while, but there will always be a time when it will be exposed.
There are now several general managers of the Internal Affairs Bureau, and the only ones who are qualified to see the internal treasury account books are Ninth Brother and Ma Qi.
The fifth elder brother stood up and said to the fourth elder brother: "My younger brother has to go to the Lifan Courtyard, so I'll leave first."
Fourth elder brother nodded.
The ninth elder brother got up and sent the fifth elder brother out, saying, "I'll ask someone to sort out the side dishes later, and then I'll send He Yuzhu to deliver them to you."
The fifth elder brother nodded and said: "Okay, okay, I'll bring the beef jerky back just in time. I brought two carts of beef jerky back, half of which were prepared for you, but I forgot about it when I came here today."
Brother Jiu said: "That's just right. Yesterday, the empress sent someone to bring some beef and asked the kitchen to prepare it. But after all, it doesn't taste the same as air-dried beef."
As for a cart of beef jerky, don’t be afraid of having too much, it’s better than not having any at all.
Speaking of this, he remembered that his brother still didn't know about his pregnancy.
Yesterday, the eldest brother and the fourth brother just happened to meet the imperial doctor.
The two elder brothers also knew the rules, and even the greetings were vague.
Brother Ninth just planned to abide by the three-month rule and had no intention of spreading it widely.
He coughed lightly and said, "While it's neither too cold nor too hot right now, why don't fifth brother take fifth sister-in-law to Hongluo Temple?"
On the ninth day of the seventh lunar month, the fifth elder brother and his wife and the tenth elder brother and his wife went to Hongluo Temple to "beg for a child." The fifth elder brother knew about it.
After hearing Brother Ninth's words, he hesitated and said, "Then I will discuss it with your Fifth Sister-in-law later..."
Because he was raised by the Empress Dowager, the fifth elder brother believed in Buddhism.
Otherwise, he would not have taken Wufujin to worship Buddha during his southern tour.
Hongluo Temple is a temple dedicated to the royal family, and the fifth elder brother also believes that the incense there is efficacious.
He really wanted to go there, not only for himself, but also for his brother.
Pray to the Buddha and bless my brother that his wishes will come true and he will have a son and a half daughter.
But he was also afraid that Wu Fujin would be overly concerned and thought that he was urging him to have a legitimate son, so he hesitated.
Brother Ninth has good intentions.
He was afraid that after waiting for November, Shushu was pregnant for three months, and could tell the public about her pregnancy, the fifth elder brother and his wife would be crowded if they wanted to go to Hongluo Temple to offer incense.
Ha ha!
Back then, my father-in-law and my mother-in-law went to seek an heir and got Fujin. I went to seek an heir with Fujin and my wish came true.
Anyone who says that Hongluo Temple is not effective will have to argue with others.
The fourth elder brother was also there, so the brothers didn't say much.
Seeing the fifth elder brother leave, the ninth elder brother turned around and came back.
In the living room, the fourth elder brother also saw the small box left by the fifth elder brother.
I guessed it, just like myself, it should be a gift from the banker.
When the ninth elder brother came in, the fourth elder brother took out an envelope from his sleeve, handed it to him, and said: "In addition to the 150,000 taels mentioned yesterday, I also gave you an additional 60,000 taels. There is no need to mention this to others.
If anyone else inquires, just say 100,000..."
Brother Ninth has a big head and doesn’t really want to take it.
He looked at the fourth elder brother and said: "Fourth brother, there is no need to add more, 150,000 is already enough, and there are several other elder brothers..."
Fourth Brother said simply: "Then keep it first, and then wait until you have enough. If you don't have enough, it will be convenient to make up for it."
Seeing that the ninth elder brother was still refusing, the fourth elder brother stood up and said: "There are still errands in the household department, I will leave first..."
This is true. It is still sorting out the money owed by prefectures and counties affected by floods in previous years. However, this time it is not sorting out the provinces in Jiangnan, but Zhili and Shandong provinces.
Brother Ninth frowned, sent it out, and complained: "Even the eldest brother knows how to ask people to buy more property. Why, fourth brother, like the fifth brother, do you keep the banker's notes? In the past, one tael of silver could buy it.
Two shi of rice, now only one and a half shi, this silver is becoming less and less valuable if left in vain..."
Fourth Brother waved his hand and said: "Don't worry about this. There is not so much land to buy in this rush to buy land. Let's ask people to look at it later..."
As for the property purchased by the Prince of Zhijun, Brother Si has heard a few things about it, which is also a pity.
The eldest brother asked people to buy two villages, but they were not added to the palace's property.
But it's the Yue family's side.
His in-law's family has been in silence for many years, and life is not easy.
Dafujin also has a brother who is not in good health and has not been on the military rolls and has not filled up the flag vacancies.
When Dafujin was alive, it was this brother who was most worried about his parents' family.
The eldest brother bought two properties so that the brother-in-law could make money.
Brother Ninth really feels that these brothers are worthless.
After seeing off the fourth elder brother, the ninth elder brother took an envelope and a small box and returned to the main courtyard.
"Fifth brother gave me a gift of 230,000 taels, and fourth brother also came with a gift of 210,000 taels..."
Brother Ninth no longer had the initial pride, but his face looked a little heavy.
To say that I am not impressed would be a lie.
Frankly speaking, although we are all brothers, we are still distant and distant.
If he was asked to express his heart and soul to Fifth Brother and Lao Shi, there would be nothing to say; if it were other brothers, he would definitely be inferior.
But now it seems that the fourth elder brother treats him just as well as his brothers, and the two younger ones are doing their best.
"These brothers are really good. Needless to say, the fifth brother loves me the most. The fourth brother is cold-faced and warm-hearted. The thirteenth brother is also loyal enough. Even the fourteenth brother is not a stingy person..."
Brother Ninth sighed.
Shu Shu was calmed down and said: "But these combined, it's enough!"
The 500,000 taels from the inner treasury, the 150,000 taels from the eldest brother, and the 440,000 taels in front of me. The 20,000 taels from the thirteenth and fourteenth elders are already 1,110,000. Plus
The 150,000 taels reserved for Shu Shu and the 10th Prince were already 1,260,000 taels.
Brother Jiu glanced in the direction of Yuqing Palace and said, "Huh, if I hadn't told you in front of the emperor yesterday, I really don't want to go to Yuqing Palace..."
It's clear that the money is given away for free, but he still has to "borrow" the money in such a lowly manner.
It happened that he was not familiar with the prince yet, so when the other party asked him carefully, he would have to be prepared to say whatever he wanted.
Weirdly annoying.
"I hope that the third brother will continue to be stingy, and I also hope that the eighth brother will be tight..."
And these two, he couldn't help but mutter to Shu Shu.
No matter how much money you have, you will have no time to spare and you have to think about other ways to make a living.
He couldn't bear to leave it alone forever.
In that case, it seems that the brothers are all bosses, and he has become a big shopkeeper who makes money for others, and he is losing money.
Shu Shu smiled and said: "This is the hard work of those who can..."
Brother Jiu hummed softly: "Then I'd better be a mediocre person. Why are you so diligent?"
While the couple was talking, Xiao Chun came in and said, "Master Jiu, Fujin, and Aunt Peilan are here..."
Although Peilan next to Concubine Yi was a little younger than Xianglan who left the palace, she was no more than two years older than Shushu and Jiu Age.
But she is already the eldest maid of Yikun Palace, the "aunt" generation.
Shu Shu said: "Please come in..."
Xiaochun went out and then brought Peilan in.
Shu Shu got up.
Peilan brought a little palace maid in, knelt down and said: "Blessings to Master Jiu, blessing to Fujin..."
Shu Shu personally helped her and said: "Yesterday, the girl was rude and neglected my aunt!"
It turns out that Concubine Yi sent Peilan over yesterday afternoon to deliver beef, and Shu Shu was sleeping.
Xiaochun didn't ask her to get up.
Peilan said hurriedly: "You're welcome, it's my slave who didn't let Xiao Chun disturb Fujin..."
Brother Jiu said: "The empress sent you here, but for the purpose of going to Ningshou Palace to pay her respects on the 15th?"
Peilan nodded and said: "Well, I asked my servant to come over and ask Fujin how he feels these days. If you feel uncomfortable, don't force it. The Queen Mother and the eldest princess are both kind people and can understand it. If you want to go there, you should go in advance.
Say hello to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and prepare a chariot..."
Because the eldest princess is back in court, this greeting will be extra grand. It is also the first time for the younger princes Fujin to see the eldest princess.
Brother Jiu looked at Shu Shu and said, "Listen to your Majesty, your body is the most important thing."
Shu Shu smiled and said: "I'm fine, I'm just a little tired in the autumn, so I get sleepy easily, but everything else is fine..."
Brother Jiu was worried and said, "But it's not close to here, so just listen to your Majesty and use the chariot!"
Shu Shu is also pregnant for the first time and has no experience.
She was always cautious and did not have a strong temper, so she nodded and said: "Then listen to me..."
Peilan passed on Concubine Yi's words, finished her errands, and took the little palace maid to leave.
Brother Jiu said to Shu Shu: "Looking at the second sister's attitude towards me the day before yesterday, she probably didn't know about Niu Hulu Gege and Fu Song's marriage proposal, otherwise she would have mentioned it anyway..."
After all, his in-law family was involved in this. If Princess Rongxian knew about it, she would not pretend not to know.
Shu Shu said: "The princess runs a mansion alone, and she is not with the county prince Tai Fujin. It is normal not to know."
Brother Jiu touched his chin and said: "Last time, I mentioned the princess of Aling's family to Khan Ama. Khan Ama won't forget it, right? If I go over and beat the drum again, Yin De won't be able to get it easy anyway.
The one where my family lives!”
Shu Shu stopped and said: "It doesn't have to be like this. If you care about an orphan girl, it will make us mean. Let us let nature take its course! If she gets what she wants, she will marry thousands of miles away and her relatives will be separated; if she
If she doesn’t like it, it’s because of her own fault. From now on, the two will have nothing to do with each other..."
I beat the mouse for fear of damaging the jade bottle.
After all, there are ten elder brothers in the middle.
It is Yin De who is still serving as the eldest brother of the Tenth Prince.
Brother Jiu snorted softly and said: "Anyway, the princesses of this generation of the Niu Hulu family are not very good..."
That wretched guy from the Aling-A family, at such a young age, can actually come up with vicious schemes to drive a wedge between other people’s couples.
The Yin De family is also not good and has a bad heart.
Brother Ninth Brother was fed up with both of them and said to Shu Shu: "It would be great if they could all be sent to Mongolia. No one else would be happy with it!"
Seeing that he was still angry, Shu Shu said: "Everything in this world has a cause and effect. If Aling'a's daughter is accused of being accused of the Bahrain tribe, will Aling'a's temperament be enough to let the culprit go?"
The eldest daughter is different after all, especially the eldest daughter of a Banner family, she is really a jewel in the palm of her hand.
Even if she doesn't marry into the royal family, as the eldest daughter of the Aling'a family, she doesn't have to worry about getting married.
If he was really accused of marrying the Bahrain tribe, Aling'a would not dare to be angry with the emperor, nor would he dare to be angry with the Yin De family?
If the eldest daughter of the Yin De family pointed out the Bahrain tribe, and the Bahrain Taifujin came here for money, would this "aunt become a mother-in-law"?
How can a niece and daughter-in-law whom she has never met compare to a precious young son?
Brother Jiu thought for a while and said: "That's right. Aling'a is a poisonous snake and can bite anyone he targets. He broke his leg in front of him. Both Master and Lao Shi breathed a sigh of relief...
"
Shu Shu glanced at Brother Jiu.
You must know that three hundred years later, this person's nickname will be "Venomous Snake Nine".
It was no coincidence that the two of them almost became husband-in-law.
Before lunch, my eldest brother also came over.
He didn't even drink tea. He came and left in a hurry, leaving only an envelope and a sentence: "I collected 50,000 taels from my Majesty. This is two hundred thousand. You can use it first. My Majesty has no expenses."
place……"
Brother Jiu was stunned and wanted to say, can we do as promised without adding more!
The eldest brother didn't give him a chance to speak, and strode away.
Following the eldest brother, there was also the seventh brother, who also directly handed the ninth brother a box and said: "I asked the fifth brother, and the fifth brother said it was 150,000 taels, so I will be the same as the fifth brother.
…”
Brother Jiu held the box and wanted to say something, it really doesn’t need to be the same!
The seventh elder brother drooped his face, glanced at the envelope in his hand, and said, "How come the eldest brother can accept my money but not mine?"
After that, he turned around and left without giving Brother Jiu a chance to explain.
Brother Ninth hurriedly caught up, stopped Brother Seven and said, "Brother Qi, you have misunderstood. I appreciate all the brothers helping me, but I really don't need so much. Why don't you take 50,000 and give it to me first?"
Leave one hundred thousand?"
The seventh elder brother stopped, looked at the ninth elder brother and said: "Is this a distinction between far and near? The elder brother with the same mother can receive an extra fifty thousand taels, but my half-brother cannot accept it?"
Brother Ninth: "..."
I simply don’t dare to admit it. Is this still my taciturn seventh brother?
How can it hurt others?!
