The Thirteenth Master looked at the 50,000 taels of silver notes in his hand, and his nose felt sour. Ever since his mother died, he had been the one who had protected his two sisters from wind and rain for so many years. Who would have thought that today, there would be someone standing by
In front of you, to protect yourself from the wind and rain and hold up the sky.
In the past few years since he left the palace, after calculation, he has really only had expenses and basically no income. Although the expenses in the palace are all rationed by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the expenses of favor exchanges are not small. In addition, he goes to the palace during the New Year.
It is a festival gift, a birthday gift for all the empresses, a nephew and niece’s birthday on the 3rd and 100th day of the lunar month, and a birthday for the elders of the clan. Not to mention how outstanding it is, but in general it can’t be worse. Feel free to do the math carefully, it’s almost every day
They all give away money. In addition, since I am young and have only one or two children, I can't even find a reason to receive gifts.
In the past two years, I did borrow 100,000 taels of silver from the Ministry of Household Affairs. The more than 200,000 taels I received when I left the palace were used to supplement my sisters, but there was not much left. I have spent almost all of them in the past two years.
Nowadays, the mansion is full of money, including one hundred thousand taels of silver. This was only collected by Fujin by taking out part of the dowry money he kept at the bottom of the box. After paying back the silver, the mansion will really be unable to make money. We can't rely on Fujin's leftover money.
Let’s live off the dowry.
Fujin's mother-in-law can't help either. In these years, she has only been tied to the prince and cannot be said to be particularly strong with any of her brothers. If she wants to ask for help, she can't find anywhere.
When I was in a dilemma and didn't know what to do, I didn't expect that my fourth brother would send someone an invitation, and in the envelope would be fifty thousand taels of silver. This can be said to have relieved my burden all at once.
Thirteen Fujin breathed a sigh of relief, life has to go on, right?
"Keep it." Thirteen handed the banknote to Fujin, "This is the fourth brother's wish. The fourth brother knows the situation in the house. Don't pretend to be fat."
Thirteen Fujin took it with a smile on his face, "From now on, I will often go over and talk to my fourth sister-in-law."
"You don't have to be so deliberate." Thirteen smiled. We are all descendants of dragons and phoenixes, and no one has any idea. But as long as half of Fourth Brother's intention is sincere, he, Thirteen, will appreciate it. He can do it in difficult times.
Give yourself a try and think about your own brother.
And Fourteen was sitting opposite the Fourth Master at the moment.
There was still a hint of anger on the Fourth Master's face, "...50,000 taels is not enough? You borrowed 180,000 taels, have you used them all?"
The corners of Fourteen's lips curled up in a vague way, indicating that he had used up his time. Otherwise, the lower-level military attachés in the army would be willing to get close to him for any reason. They would not have to pay a price for anything they did. Not everyone is like Fourth Brother, who would be willing to
The disciples who took refuge in him talked about it, and then tried to find a job and let them go. The fourth brother could give them official positions, but of course he would not spend money on his subordinates, because his subordinates always tried to find ways to send money to him. In the capital, he assisted in political affairs.
This is so much power. As long as the person who made the arrangements has no bearing on the overall situation, the Emperor will turn a blind eye and not care. Who wouldn't envy this?
But what about myself? I don’t have any errands, I want to do something, and I don’t have any money. Is 180,000 taels a lot? Anyway, it’s right without any expenses.
"... When you left the palace, you originally had 230,000 taels of silver for your settlement, plus the 180,000 taels you borrowed. This is all 410,000 taels of silver. I don't believe it, no one below will respect you.
"Yes. Where did you spend all this money? You didn't build a garden or build a theater to support a theater troupe. You drank gold and swallowed silver, and this amount doesn't match up." Fourth Master looked at Ten
Fourth Master asked.
The Fourteenth Master is a little angry, who hasn't revealed his secret yet? What should I say to him after all this? He said that I am quietly gathering connections and secretly coveting the position of prince.
Isn't this looking for trouble?
He said angrily: "You just want to borrow it or not."
Seeing the way the fourteenth man said nothing, the fourth master slowly calmed down his emotions. He tapped his fingers gently on the table, as if he was weighing something.
After a long time, he opened his eyes and called out to Su Peisheng, "Go and tell Fujin that I am in a hurry to use the money. Ask her how much cash she can use."
Su Peisheng responded and left quickly.
There was a flash of surprise in Fourteen's eyes. Did the fourth brother really have no money? He didn't want to believe it. But he was very clear about the virtues of his brothers and would not use them unless he had no other choice.
It's Fujin's dowry. What the fourth brother asked for from the fourth sister-in-law must be the fourth sister-in-law's dowry money. The fourth brother will definitely not leave all the income and details of the house to the woman, because it involves major events outside.
He would never make such a mistake.
That can only really be the dowry of the fourth sister-in-law.
After hearing what Su Peisheng conveyed, Lin Yutong was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Wait a moment." After saying that, he entered the inner room. He took out a small box from the secret compartment on the bed, and then went out and handed it to Su Peisheng, "If these
If it’s not enough, I’ll raise more money. I just have this much at home.”
These are all silver notes, and the gold and silver in the warehouse cannot be moved there now.
Su Peisheng held this thing like a phoenix egg, and said with a flattering smile: "Fu Jin, how much is this?"
"One hundred thousand." Lin Yutong said, and then said, "If it's not enough, send someone to tell you."
Su Peisheng then quickly retreated and went to work for Fourth Master.
The fourth master watched Su Peisheng deliver the box in front of him and tapped it gently. He was still a little surprised. Fujin's original dowry, furnishings and furnishings were all included, and they amounted to more than 100,000 taels. Now.
The money is even more abundant. Unexpectedly, in the past few years, the business has been good, and I have saved more money than I thought.
He opened the box and found that the banknotes inside were of varying denominations. The big ones were ten thousand taels, and the small ones were three to five hundred taels. It was a full hundred thousand taels, right.
Su Peisheng said: "Fu Jin asked me to tell you that the family has enough now. If it is not enough, it is still too late to raise money immediately."
Shi Shi's face turned red. He didn't even touch his Fujin money, but he came over and robbed his sister-in-law's money. What's this?
The Fourth Master nodded, put the banknote back intact, and pushed the box in front of Old Fourteenth, "This is a hundred thousand. Add to that the fifty thousand I gave you earlier, a total of one hundred and fifty thousand taels. It's all."
Take it." As for his previous expenses of the money, he didn't ask any more questions.
Fourteen's eyebrows jumped, one hundred thousand taels. This is really not a small amount. The total debt was only 180,000 taels, and the fourth brother was asked to share the debt of 150,000 taels. This was really something that I never dared to think about before.
He stood up sheepishly, "Fourth brother..."
The Fourth Master waved his hand, "Okay! You are now grown up and have your own affairs. I won't interfere too much."
I don't know how I got out of Fourth Master's house. I feel very uncomfortable. I forced Fourth Brother to use Fourth Sister-in-law's money. This matter is unreasonable no matter how I think about it.
After the fourth master left, he took out a box from the hidden compartment of the bookshelf, put it in himself, and went to the inner courtyard.
"What is this?" Lin Yutong looked at the box and asked. This is not the box he gave out. Without waiting for the fourth master to answer, he reached out and opened the box. Inside were four 50,000 taels of silver notes, a total of 200,000 taels.
It goes around in a circle and comes back doubled. What kind of game is this?
I really don't understand why he went to all the trouble to come back and ask for her money when he had it.
"Fourteen is a bottomless pit. If you don't do this, it will be really hard to get through in the future." The fourth master took off his boots, and his whole body seemed to be relaxed.
But this was too much. Although Lin Yutong didn't care about the little money, the fourth master's generosity was really rare.
He smiled and said, "Now I'm afraid I know who my real brother is?"
"It's not for that." Fourth Master answered casually. But what was the deep meaning behind it, Fourth Master did not explain.
Lin Yutong didn't ask. He had too many plans in his mind. Even if he said it out, he wouldn't be able to understand it thoroughly even with his own understanding.
He just changed the subject and said, "Do you still want to borrow money?" As he said that, he pushed the box over.
The Fourth Master didn't understand what it meant at first, and just said "No need". After saying that, he realized that Lin Yutong was joking, so he smiled and said: "Why, I am dazzled by such a high interest rate. I am also obsessed with wealth."
Borrow 100,000 and repay 200,000. Anyone would be happy to do this business.
Lin Yutong raised an eyebrow and looked at him. Isn't this obvious?
Of course, Fourteen didn't know what was going on in his good fourth brother's heart, and he was a little touched in his heart. Look, this is his brother. No matter how harsh he usually scolds, or how dark his face is, at the critical moment,
He doesn't let go. Thinking about it, he suddenly blushed because he had said bad things about him behind Brother Fourth's back. I felt a little guilty in my heart. But then I thought about it, didn't I do that just to steal from Lao Jiu?
Can you give me some money? It seems to be excusable.
Thinking about it this way and comparing it again, Lao Jiu is a bit unreasonable.
I didn't say anything, so my fourth brother quietly asked someone to send him 50,000 yuan. I also came to try it out, but I didn't expect it to work. As a result, my fourth brother gave me another 100,000 yuan.
But what about Lao Jiu? I cried out in front of him several times, but he didn't even spend a fortune. How could he be willing to do it?
So, he wanted to go back to his house directly, but turned around and went to Master Jiu's house.
Master Jiu is in a bad mood right now, because Old Ten is sitting opposite him and playing tricks. Before he can be sent away, Fourteenth comes again. It’s a shame that he can be in a good mood. He may have the intention not to see it, but if he doesn’t see it, give him to him.
excuse me.
What can we do? "Please come in, Master Fourteen." Master Nine said weakly.
When Fourteen entered the study room, he was looked at by Old Ten with a resentful look, "Fourteen, you have a brother. But I don't have a brother like you. Only Brother Nine is close to me, so why are you messing with me?"
It’s not authentic.”
Master Jiu suddenly felt that keeping Lao Shi might not be a bad thing. (. )
