Then can I carry out the late emperor's will and act now?
What a nonsense! Who recognizes it?
Mr. Ba wanted to stand up and scold his mother, but he had always been very well-behaved and could not do anything unbecoming.
He suppressed the anger in his heart and smiled at Hong Yun: "It seems that the emperor has given the second elder brother a decree. Don't worry, the eighth uncle will definitely give you a good start." He looked like he was willing to be a stepping stone to protect his nephew.
Hong Yun immediately blushed, looking embarrassed and flattered, "Eighth Uncle, my nephew also wants to run errands by himself, but he is still far from ready. He followed Jiu Shu in the Lifan Courtyard, and Jiu Shu thought his nephew was stupid.
Those who are clumsy and tongue-tied just ask my nephew to watch others talk. How can I dare to take on any errands? The nephew of the Lifanyuan is really tired of being idle. Knowing that the Eighth Uncle has errands here, he can go out more. Please help me.
Here we are. Let’s agree first that my nephew is here to observe, and he can’t help with other things.”
No matter how well-mannered Mr. Ba is, his face can't help but drop.
Asking for debt is something that offends others, so taking it yourself has done all the things that offend people the most. Isn’t this enough?
The fourth child was better, he didn’t even give me a decree. He sent me a son instead.
The key is that this son is not Honghui. If Honghui is here, it is a moving imperial edict. Being able to ask Honghui to follow is an attitude in itself.
But he was lucky enough to ask Hong Yun to come. This boy smiled shyly when he saw someone. He looked even shyer than the older girl. Having him there was a certain benefit. At least it proved that the emperor allowed him to collect debts. For the following
People definitely have a certain deterrent effect.
But as long as Hongyun doesn't express his position or speak, it still proves that the emperor has no clear statement.
This debt has changed its taste. It's not that I have made much contribution to the court. It's that everyone will agree that I want to turn around through this matter. I only use everyone's money and lifeblood to dye your eighth master's red.
Wear it top.
But there is still a way...
Really! As long as there is some way, I will not do this.
The connections I have built up over the years and the reputation I have built with so much care may be ruined because of this incident.
But just like what I originally imagined, if the reputation is gone, I can slowly accumulate it. If this opportunity disappears, I will never be able to turn around in this life.
So, the uncle and nephew each smiled thoughtfully, the uncle was full of kindness, and the nephew was full of admiration.
Look how beautiful this picture is.
The first stop for the uncle and nephew to collect debts was Prince Jian's Mansion, Yarjiang'a.
At that time, the fourth master collected all the debts owed by the prince's elder brother, but the nobles did not touch them. When it was replaced by the eighth master, the eighth master would not offend the nobles. Therefore, Prince Jian's palace had two hundred thousand taels
I only repaid thirty thousand taels of debt. In addition, Yaerjiang's command was to capture the thief first, so the king must be captured first, so Prince Jian must be operated on first.
Yaerjiang Ah had long heard that the Eighth Master had taken a break and wanted to continue to collect debts. He didn't take it seriously. Even if the debts were to be repaid, the emperor would have to issue an order. But the emperor issued an order, no matter what, it would have to wait until two and a half years later.
.
It's still early. There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain.
Who would have thought that even though I wasn't interested in it, I actually was interested in it.
This eighth master really dares to come to my door.
In fact, among these princes, Yarjiang'a is also the closest to Lao Ba. With Lao Si? Pull him down. He has a face like a debt collector. His life is shortened when he sees him. When they really go up, he is more frightened.
Until he, Fujin, begged the queen for milk cakes to nourish his children, and she actually asked for them back. After all, the queen made them herself, and most people really don’t have this honor. But he had some at home! He felt
, the Queen's attitude can often be seen in the attitude of Long Live Lord. I felt a little more relaxed now. When I saw Long Live Lord again, it seemed that she didn't mean to be embarrassed. I told you the matter, and you handled it neatly. That's all right, no need.
It's hard for yourself. When you meet Long Live Master in a good mood, you can even be rewarded with a bowl of tea.
Yaer Jiang'a is very satisfied. We are not the heroes of Conglong, so this treatment is enough.
Unexpectedly, the emperor didn't say anything, and the first one to find trouble would be Lao Ba.
He would be so angry that he would be so angry. Over the years, he has helped Lao Ba a lot. Even if you are in a hurry to stand up, don't drag your brother into a trap.
Therefore, when he faced Master Ba, his face did not look good.
When he saw Hong Yun, he was stunned for a moment and said uncomfortably: "It turns out that the second elder brother is here too."
Hong Yun smiled and saluted, "Hello, Uncle Jian. The Queen's mother also asked her nephew to greet her aunt. She said she had some free time and asked her to go to the palace to talk to her."
Yarjiang'a's face suddenly became much better, "That's just right, it will save her the trouble of sitting at the mahjong table at home. Money is being exported every day."
"This is why my uncle is a good person and my aunt is lucky." Hong Yun said with a smile, "As an uncle, there are many people who want my aunt to win money. But my uncle would rather lose money than pay attention.
Flattery and flattering people show the character of the uncle. But the aunt sits at home and loses money for fun, which shows that the uncle values the aunt. If this is not the blessing of the aunt, what is it? The emperor's mother said to her sisters, "What a good husband-in-law."
One of my criteria is to be willing to spend money on them."
These words made Yaerjiang A instantly happy. Everyone knew that these words were untrue, but they felt comfortable to hear. So he responded: "My master's words are to the point, to the point."
He smiled and welcomed the two of them into the living room to serve tea.
Yaerjiang'a deliberately ignored the eighth master and only talked to Hongyun, "Why do you have time to come to my uncle's place today?"
Hong Yun glanced at Uncle Eighth with a smile, "My nephew is just joining in the fun. He is just following Uncle Eighth to gain experience. My nephew is stupid and Uncle Ninth is unwilling to talk to my nephew. My nephew has no choice but to rely on Uncle Eighth."
He didn't say a word what he was here for.
Yaerjiang'a understood instantly. The emperor was asking the second elder brother to follow the eighth master to collect the debt. But he was worried that the period of filial piety had not passed, and there was no decree. But since the eighth brother proposed to pay the money, the emperor would not object.
It is a fool to oppose something that is beneficial to oneself. This Hongyun is here, it is the emperor's wish. At least it is an attitude.
Although the emperor also expressed the attitude of "I know this, please pay back the money". But he followed the trend.
It's always Ba Ye who plays the leading role and jumps up and down.
He found a reason why the emperor had to use him. It was really not cost-effective not to use him.
But Lao Ba, you want to find a way out, and that's right in itself.
But you can't use me as a stepping stone. Are you going to attack yourself first? Haha... What a shame.
He immediately snorted coldly, "Old man, brother, I haven't offended you in these years, have I?" He originally wanted to say something like, 'We brothers have gotten along well over the years,' but when he thought of Hong Yun here, he didn't want to call him
Long Live Master misunderstood that he was a member of the Ba Ye Party. Although he might really have been a member of the Ba Ye Party.
As expected of the eighth master, the eighth master showed a bit of pleading, "It is precisely because we brothers get along well that I dare to come to your door, brother. I am not afraid of my brother's jokes. I also want to earn a future for my children. Here we are.
When times are tough, you don’t point at your former brothers and try to help your older brother.”
Yarjiang'a's mind was really shaken for a moment. Yes! It's the same as borrowing money.
Every person who borrows money first thinks in his mind about whom to talk to. Who to talk to so that he will not lose his face. If he wants to kiss you, he will be embarrassed to say it, right?
Therefore, Lao Ba's words really softened his heart. When brothers encountered difficulties back then, how could they make it through if they didn't lend a hand to help them?
But then I thought about it, it was because you were ruthless when you first came to ask for the debt, but in a few words, it became clear that I was being unjust to you by not giving you the money.
He felt that his brain was a little weak.
Hong Yun's eyelids drooped, as if he couldn't hear the two people talking. But in his heart, he had a new understanding of his eighth uncle.
This is the kind of person Huang Er Niang said. When he wants face, he is really shameless. But if he is shameless, he is really shameless. He really wipes his face off and puts it in his pocket.
It's up to me to do this myself. I really can't do anything to hurt someone close to me. After all, I can't lose my face.
He muttered to himself, it seemed that he was not shameless enough. At least there was still a certain gap between him and his eighth uncle.
Yaerjiang'a thought about it for a long time, but he thought of one thing first. Is it really okay for this old man to call himself his 'former brother' in front of Hongyun? Didn't he really mean to drag himself into trouble?
He couldn't help but look at Lao Ba, if he didn't give him some money, what might this guy say?
Thinking of this possibility, he took a breath and smiled, "Our cousins, fundamentally speaking, are melons on a vine. Brother, if you speak, I have to help my brother's face no matter what."
Are you getting up?" He said, turning around and saying, "Here comes someone, go and pay fifty thousand taels to the account."
Hong Yun thought, there are 200,000 in total. He had repaid 30,000 before, but now he has repaid 50,000, and there are still 120,000 left. Let’s see how Uncle Eight wants it.
Ba Ye has been drinking tea with a grateful smile on his lips. For a moment, people thought that this matter ended here today.
Unexpectedly, when the banknote came, Ba Ye directly put it on his body and said: "Either we are brothers. At the critical moment, we point to it. I still remember that it was more than ten years ago. That day
In the evening, we brothers drank together in Chunxi's upstairs...do you remember?"
Prince Jian's expression immediately changed. Twelve years ago, in Chunxi Tower, for some reason, he could not suppress the evil fire. At that time, he... forced a singing girl. Later,
He wanted to bring this girl back to the palace. It was better than showing up in public. Although he was a bastard, he was not the kind of person who would wait until he was done with it, put on his pants and refuse to recognize anyone. Besides, someone was obviously plotting that night.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have done something worse than a beast. But when he went back to look for the girl, she was gone. Later, Lao Ba said that the girl had committed suicide by throwing herself into a well. He had already arranged for the family to be settled, and told him not to use it.
Worry.
Who would have thought that today, out of the blue, old things would be brought up again... (. )
