Shi Shixin said, I can’t let everyone in the world know whether my brother is good to me or not. I can’t ask others to know. As long as I know it in my heart, I turned around and smiled, saying, “Fourth brother, then
People, you still don’t know. He is an upright man, he won’t do anything irregular, and he won’t accept any irregular money. Therefore, the money in his hands is also very limited. I opened my mouth shamelessly and gave him
It must be given. Just the money of three melons and two dates can't solve the fundamental problem of my brother and me, can it? But Brother Ninth, you are different. In recent years, Brother Ninth's business has been from south to north, from east to west.
, there is no one who has not dabbled in it. Which business does not make money? Originally, I wanted to delay it and see if it would be possible to not pay back the money for the time being. Anyway, others are afraid of Fourth Brother, but I am not afraid. But then I thought about it, we have to take a look first.
Isn't that Huang Ama's attitude? If the old man knew that we were taking the lead in resisting the decree, he would definitely be scolded. It's probably not as simple as being scolded. He would really ask us to go to the clan's mansion and be imprisoned for half a year. We can't afford to let that person down.
Therefore, if you are guilty of being stupid at this time, you are not competing with Fourth Brother, but with Huang Ama. After thinking about it, I can't do it."
Master Shi raised his eyebrows and looked at Fourteenth up and down before saying: "Old Fourteen, my brother doesn't feel comfortable hearing these words. You are helping Fourth Brother to explain to us brothers, right? I said
, where do you stand?"
Fourteen's heart skipped a beat, but with a smile on his face he said: "Brother Ten, if you believe me, please think of a solution quickly. If you don't believe me, haha...it really doesn't matter where you stand."
What does hehe mean? It depends on how people think about it.
Master Shi was stunned and asked: "Fourteen, you just came from Lao Si's place, right?"
Going to Fourth Brother's house, this can't be hidden from anyone. Fourteen nodded calmly, "Go and ask if it would be okay if we drag it on for a while? How long can it be delayed at most?"
Master Jiu turned around and asked quickly, "What did the Fourth say?"
Fourteen curled his lips, "You can't hold me back so I came here to discuss it with my brothers."
"Didn't I give you any money?" Master Shi asked.
"Give it." The Fourteenth Master curled his lips again, "It's not much. But as I said, if it doesn't work out, I'll get some body parts from the empress in the palace first, or maybe I can free up some body parts from the fourth sister-in-law. I
I’m sorry.”
Master Jiu and Master 10 looked at each other, these words could not be false.
Master Jiu sighed. To say that these brothers are poor is not true. It’s just that they don’t have cash. The playthings, antiques, calligraphy and paintings in the house are all priceless. But there are many things in them that cannot be bought or sold.
Because they are all things from the palace. You can use them yourself, but you cannot exchange them for money. There are also many treasures given by others, and there are also treasures bought with money because they like them. They are all valuable. I can buy a few at will.
It’s enough. But I still don’t want the face of the man. Even if I don’t want to be shameless, don’t I think I don’t want the court’s face anymore? I don’t want the emperor’s face either?
Do you want the emperor to bear the reputation of being unkind to his son? Forcing his son to be a seller? This cannot be done.
Is it difficult for them to be here?
But who is doing with so much money? All the supplies in the government are provided by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The expenses needed for a year are all calculated, so they are given directly to Fujin and asked to take care of the rest.
All the money he bought was used to make money. Especially for him. There was not much cash flowing during business. A lot of it was turned into goods.
Where can I find silver?
At least Fujin could still come up with some cash as a supplement, but it would have been better for Fujin himself to just say that he wanted to pawn his dowry. What else could anyone say? It makes me very upset when I think about it.
Do you really want to ask E Niang in the palace for it? Or forget it, E Niang will subsidize the fifth brother, but not herself. Who calls me the prodigal son E Niang said?
I'm already suffering enough in my heart, and Fujin can't help but forget it. Every brother wants to hold him back, and it's really impossible to live this day.
He asked feebly, "Tenth brother, how far behind are you?"
"One hundred thousand." Master Shi answered very quickly, and then looked at Master Jiu eagerly.
Master Jiu's heart was filled with tears. This bastard had borrowed a total of 120,000 taels, and now he told himself that he was still short of 100,000 taels. He only wanted to borrow 20,000 taels for his feelings.
He wanted to say that his brother had settled the score, but looking at Lao Shi's honest face, he still swallowed what he wanted to say. With Lao Shi's virtue, he would never give up until he achieved his goal. He stood up,
He took a box, stuffed it into Lao Shi's hand, squeezed Lao Eleven secretly, and then said, "This is fifty thousand taels. That's a lot. You can figure out a way for the rest."
Old Ten was smarter this time and understood what his Ninth Brother meant. He stuffed the box into his arms and stood up to leave.
After leaving the door, I opened the box and took a look. Sure enough, it was one hundred thousand taels.
He couldn't help but chuckle and thought in his heart: After all, he is my dear ninth brother. He is worried about the fourteenth brother. When the old fourteenth opens his mouth, he will be able to stop him.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel a little regretful. I shouldn't have told the truth in front of Old Fourteen just now. If I suppressed it a little bit, I could save Ninth Brother some money, right?
It’s also Blame Ninth Brother, why did he ask in front of Fourteenth? Look, he just told the truth smoothly.
In the study, Master Jiu and Fourteen were left sitting opposite each other. Master Jiu asked in an impartial manner: "Old Fourteen, what about you? How far behind are you?" With the friendship between Old Fourteen and himself, he still
It's not as big as Dare Lion's mouth. The amount is not big, and if you cut it in half, it shouldn't be much.
Fourteen calculated in his mind that Brother Four had already given him 150,000 taels of 180,000 taels, and he still had 30,000 taels left. So he said, "Not much, only five or six thousand taels."
Master Jiu felt relieved. It was really an honest number, not an overwhelming demand. So he said very simply: "Brother will give you 30,000 yuan. Don't be dissatisfied with it. You don't have much left, so you can think of a way."
.I’m also afraid that Fifth Brother’s side is not strong enough.”
Fourteen showed no sign of being angry at all, "It's okay, Brother Ninth. It's hard for me if I know you."
Look, how profound and righteous it is.
Master Jiu was a little touched. If he didn't have enough money, he would have given more.
Satisfied, Fourteen returned home with the banknote in his pocket, and showed off to Wanyan, "Look, open your eyes and take a look." After saying that, he took out the banknote and flashed it, "I can't bear to part with your dowry, and I'm crying for poverty.
.What's going on now? It's a slap in the face. I don't care about your money anymore. Your man and I went out for a spin and came back with 180,000 taels of silver. Don't always think that your man has no ability. This is not his ability.
What is it?"
Wanyan just rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "I know from a guess that you got most of your money from your fourth brother. Who else would give it up!"
Shi Shiyi choked, really what she said. He couldn't help but think of the action of Ninth Brother handing money to Tenth Brother. There was obviously something fishy in it. Even though they hang out together all day long, there is actually a difference between closeness and distance.
.Some people don’t get along with each other, and some people don’t get along with each other. However, I am not very sincere, so it’s good to be like this.
While they were talking, Master Ba asked someone to deliver a letter. When he opened it, he found a banknote worth twenty thousand taels inside.
"After we pay off the debt, we can still earn 20,000 taels." Wanyan looked at the 20,000 taels of silver notes and said in a mocking tone.
Fourteen's eyes were really complicated. He told Lao Jiu that he was short of 50,000 to 60,000 taels, Lao Jiu gave him 30,000 taels, and Lao Ba followed closely with 20,000 taels.
This nice guy did it. He even picked up Lao Jiu’s leak. It’s a bit cool.
Over the years, Lao Jiu has given Lao Ba a lot of money.
Lao Jiu looked at the letter sent by Lao Ten, which contained 50,000 taels of silver notes, and felt mixed emotions for a moment. The letter said that Lao Ba gave him 50,000 yuan, but he could not use it, so he used the 50,000 taels as a gift.
Delivered to myself.
Haha... Lao Jiu laughed dryly. Yesterday, his good brother just took 200,000 taels from him in order to repay the money to some of his subordinates who came to seek refuge. He gave it without hesitation. But now, he is taking it from himself.
I spent all my money with Lao Shi as a favor. It was really chilling.
Just when I was worried, a servant came to report that someone was sent by Wu Beile.
Master Jiu thought to himself, Fifth Brother probably doesn’t have enough money to spare.
So he put the 50,000 taels sent by Lao Shi into an empty box, and then said, "Call someone to come in."
The person who came was the fifth master's personal eunuch. He greeted him, handed over the letter to the ninth master, and immediately stood up to leave.
"Wait a minute." Master Jiu stopped him and opened the letter. He said in his heart that he didn't know if fifty thousand taels would be enough, so he had better read the letter first.
But when I opened the letter, what came out with the letter paper was a banknote worth 60,000 taels.
Master Jiu immediately stopped reading the letter and was stunned. Brother Wu really didn’t care about anything in these years and didn’t get involved in anything. He had many sources of money. These sixty thousand taels, I’m afraid it’s only five
After I have paid off my debt, I will be able to spend as much as I can.
He opened the letter, and the font could only be described as "readable" as before. The letter said, "I know that a lot of money has passed through your hands, and there are even more people living by pointing to you. You yourself are loose-handed."
I'm afraid that if you stick to others, you'll end up harming yourself. So, I'll give you some money and use it first. Your brother, I don't have much ability, and I only have this little money, so don't be dissatisfied with it. Don't show off in everything from now on. If it's really not enough,
With just a few words, I can at least get something together.
Master Jiu's nose suddenly felt sour, especially the unpleasant taste.
He waved his hand to tell people to leave, and leaned back in the chair, feeling more and more sad the more he thought about it.
Over the years, I have made a lot of money, but my brother really has not taken advantage of me. But every time he offends someone, he has to clean up the mess for him. Everyone expects to get money from him, but he never
He thought about his own difficulties. Only he was thinking about whether he was in trouble.
What this person cannot stand the most is comparison. (. )
