My father-in-law is Kangxi

Chapter 688 Something's Not Right

Chapter 688 Something's Wrong
After hearing what Brother Fourteen said, Brother Nine did not answer immediately, but looked at the small box in his hand and said, "Brother mending the hole?"

The fourteenth elder brother saw that he was speaking as usual, so he whispered: "Sister-in-law Jiu knows? Are you not bothered?"

Brother Jiu proudly said: "Husband and wife are one, what's the trouble, she prepared all the dowry money for the master!"

The thirteenth elder brother was beside him, he couldn't help frowning, and said: "Ninth brother, isn't this bad? If it spreads to the Dutong Mansion, I'm afraid it will worry the elders. If it's not enough, telling the concubine is better than making the sister-in-law Good money!"

Now large amounts of money are banknotes, either issued directly from the account department, or from outside.

Everyone knows that Sister-in-law Jiu's natal family values ​​their daughter, and the dowry money should not be just as much as it is on the surface.

If the remaining banknotes are used, if too much is used at once, Dong E's family may be alarmed.

It's only been a year and a half since they got married, and they started to transfer the dowry expenses, which is a bit unreasonable.

Brother Fourteen is also a little tangled.

My ninth elder brother is already a bit depressed, if he spends the dowry money from sister-in-law Jiu, he will have no confidence in the future.

Fourteenth elder brother nodded and said: "Yes, yes, tell my concubine that she is my mother-in-law, what is there to say?"

At this moment, someone said at the door: "Jiuye, Fujin sent his servants to deliver tea..."

The brothers stopped talking.

Walnut came in with a tea tray in his hand.

In addition to the tea set, there are four dishes of pastry.

Because it was almost settled, I used barley tea that would not affect my sleep.

The four-color buns are served, two sweet and two salty.

The sweet ones are preserved peaches and snow-covered hawthorn balls, and the salty ones are dried pork and spicy crispy fish.

There are also a few forks on the side.

After putting away the things, I poured tea for the elder brothers, and the walnuts withdrew.

Although it was only half an hour late after eating, when they saw the food, the two younger brothers sat down on the kang table unceremoniously.

Brother Thirteen ate the preserved peaches directly.

This is delicious, refreshing and more peachy than the candied fruit made in the palace.

The fourteenth elder brother went to the pork jerky.

Now there is a prince's dining room in Gandongtou, what brother Fourteen wants to eat is just a matter of ordering.

But it's weird, when it's done, he just thinks it's not as delicious as the one from the second institute.

For example, this jerky is prepared in a similar way in my prince's dining room, with honey and sesame seeds added, but it doesn't taste right when I eat it.

The fourteenth elder brother remembered that when the entourage, the thirteenth elder brother brought several snacks here, all of which were prepared by the second institute, so it was a little unfair.

He took a few bites of the jerky, pouted and said, "Brother Jiu, did you tell Sister-in-law Jiu that my brother apologized during the southern tour, did you forget? Everything in the past has been rewritten Now, why treat it differently?"

Brother Jiu glanced at him and said, "What's wrong with you?"

The fourteenth elder brother brought grievances and said: "During the northern tour, the thirteenth brother brought snacks, and the younger brother didn't have any!"

Brother Jiu rolled his eyes and said, "Your mouth is just for display? What do you want to eat? You can't send someone over to say, who is the roundworm in your stomach?"

The fourteenth elder brother heard it, and immediately said happily: "Hey! Then I will go out next time, my brother will not be polite!"

Brother Nine said proudly, "You're welcome!"

As he said this, thinking of what the two younger brothers had just said, he had a bad premonition.

He glanced at the fourteenth elder brother, then at the thirteenth elder brother, and said, "How did you collect the money? Could it be that you talked to the concubine or concubine?"

The fourteenth elder brother smiled, and the thirteenth elder brother's eyes wandered a little.

Brother Jiu gritted his teeth and said, "Don't you know how to do what you can? Why bother to mobilize everyone, even the elders are alarmed?"

Elder Brother Thirteen hurriedly said: "When everyone is tight, my younger brother wants to do his best, Brother Ninth, don't think too much, the empress is in the palace, food and clothing are provided by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and there is no expense ..."

Fourteenth elder brother also said: "Yes, yes! If you don't ask my mother to make up for it, I'm embarrassed to show my brother's fragments!"

Brother Jiu looked at the two little brothers. If they really borrowed money, the money from the concubine and concubine was designated not to be accepted.

But since he went there with the aim of "good people get rewarded", he couldn't refuse the door.

But this ugly word has to be said up front.

He said: "Today I met the eldest brother and the fourth brother outside the Qianqing Palace, and they talked about mending the hole. The money is not embezzled for three or five months, and it will be paid back in two years if it is fast, or two and a half years if it is slow. I don't spend money in vain, I will pay interest at that time!"

The thirteenth elder brother and the fourteenth elder brother were both unhappy when they heard this.

Elder Brother Thirteen frowned and said, "Brother Ninth, you are too heretic, don't do that!"

Brother Fourteen also waved his hand and said, "It's not money from the bank, what interest do you want?"

Brother Jiu said solemnly: "It's not just you, brothers' money follows this rule, so don't waste your time, if you don't agree, then the money will not be accepted."

Elder Brother Thirteen was two years older, thinking more, thinking that some elder brother had said something else, so he brought it out, frowned and said, "Someone asked Brother Ninth to ask for interest?"

Brother Jiu snorted softly and said, "I brought it up by myself! If you can pay it off with silver, why do you leave a room for favors? Whoever yells at you later, it's hard for you to talk back!"

Elder Brother Thirteen said, "Then my younger brother's interest will be waived, and my younger brother also owes Brother Ninth a favor!"

Brother Nine proudly said: "No, there are no exceptions! This time it is agreed, if anyone wants to lend money to the master, he will charge interest, and if he does not accept it, he will not borrow it. It is not rare to owe that favor!"

Brother Thirteen: "..."

Brother Fourteen: "..."

It feels a little weird.

Is this borrowing money?

Why does it seem like someone else is begging him to borrow it? !

But thinking of Brother Jiu's usual temperament, the brothers turned the corner.

man...

There is no one who does not save face.

This past year, Brother Nine has been on the errands neatly, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs has sorted it out. Now that he has stumbled and lost face in front of his wife and brothers, it must be uncomfortable.

When repaying the money, make up the interest and save some face.

Brother Thirteen nodded and said, "Okay, then it depends on Brother Nine's arrangement, how convenient it is."

Brother Fourteen frowned, and said: "Okay, why did you get a big hole? Should you send someone to Jiangning to investigate Cao Yin carefully? Could it be that he took advantage of the distance and made a fake account for corruption?" Brother Nine's, right?"

Last night at Changchunyuan's new fifth institute, the [-]th elder brother and the thirteenth elder brother had already chatted for half the night, wondering how the ninth elder brother's deficit came from, and it was also finalized on the new weaving field in Jiangning.

Brother Nine shook his head and said, "No, it's really a waste of money, I have a bill here..."

Fourteenth elder brother then relaxed his brows and said, "That's good, don't let people trick you."

The thirteenth brother was concerned: "Ninth brother, how much did you borrow from the eldest brother and the fourth brother, and how much is the difference in the total?"

Brother Fourteen also looked over.

The fourth brother is very talkative, so he must have learned a lesson, will he agree to borrow money?

According to the previous estimate, Brother Jiu said less, and said, "10 taels per person, the total is still short..."

Speaking of this, he glanced at Fourteenth Elder Brother and began to calculate in his heart.

The earliest plan was 1205 million taels.

With the 50 taels from the emperor's father, there is a gap of 75 taels left.

But in front of the eldest brother and the fourth elder brother, he said 100 million.

Then it is still based on 100 million.

Otherwise, I would change my words at this time and say less, Brother Fourteen cannot keep his mouth a secret.

When the time comes, the brothers will hear that money is different, so don't think that he cheated money.

Brother Nine said: "Your sister-in-law Jiu and brother ten can make up 15 taels, and fifth brother counts as 10 taels, so there is still 55 taels left..."

The thirteenth elder brother and the fourteenth elder brother looked at each other in blank dismay.

10 taels, 10 taels, 15 taels, 10 taels...55 taels...

A deficit of 100 million taels? !

The two touched the money box, but both were embarrassed to open it.

The thirteenth elder brother became more and more worried for the ninth elder brother, and said: "Ninth elder brother, it really doesn't work, let's talk to Khan Ama to see if we can withdraw money from the internal treasury, this... the remaining 55 taels, I'm afraid It's not easy to make up..."

Fourteenth elder brother also said: "Yes, yes, most of the money that can be paid out, the remaining few brothers, even if they make up, such a large amount is embarrassing..."

Brother Nine said: "Let's do it first, it's really not enough, I'll think of other ways."

Seeing that he had made up his mind, Brother Thirteen stopped talking, handed over the box, and said with shame, "This is what my younger brother collected, but it's only 1 taels. Brother Ninth, you can use it first."

Fourteenth elder brother also handed it over, he was not confident enough, and said: "The younger brother's is also 1 taels."

Brother Jiu took it, looked at the two of them and said, "How much of it belongs to you, and how much belongs to the concubine and concubine? I made it clear in advance. When the master returns, the interest of the concubine and concubine will be divided. Do not take it!"

He also came from the little elder brother, so of course he knows that the little elder brother doesn't have much money left every year.

The big head should be borrowed from the elders of the two palaces.

Brother Thirteen said, "Two thousand is mine, and eight thousand is our mother's..."

Brother Fourteen proudly said: "I have more than Brother Thirteen, three thousand, and the remaining seven thousand is what I want from my mother..."

Brother Jiu nodded and said: "Okay, then, write it down, and you also write it down. When you pay back the money later, you are not allowed to be ignorant."

It was about the same as he estimated. Sure enough, the elders were the big heads.

Brother Thirteen nodded honestly and said, "Yes, I got it!"

The fourteenth elder brother dissatisfied: "Who does the ninth brother look down on? It seems that the interest is so much, I don't worry about it!"

Brother Jiu glanced at him and said, "You will know later!"

Brother Fourteen heard this, but his heart skipped a beat.

Seeing the change.

Ninth elder brother didn't keep anyone, so he called He Yuzhu over and ordered: "Take two people to send fourteenth elder brother back..."

Speaking of this, he said to the fourteenth elder brother: "In the future, no one is allowed to run out, it's so far away!"

Elder Fourteen smiled and said: "My younger brother has agreed with Brother Thirteen, we will live in the first house tonight, and all the people following us will be in the first house, Brother Ninth, don't worry about it!"

Brother Jiu was relieved now, and ordered He Yuzhu to send the two of them back to the place.

The thirteenth elder brother and the fourteenth elder brother had nothing to say all the way, and arrived at the gate of the head office.

When He Yuzhu saw the two young elder brothers entering the yard, he turned and left.

Brother Thirteen frowned, very worried.

The remaining brothers pooled in 55 taels?
Brother Nine thought too simply.

Seventh brother is deserted, but he has a good relationship with fifth brother, and the friendship between seventh sister-in-law and ninth sister-in-law, so the 10 taels should be about the same.

Starling over there...

No matter what, it won't be much worse than other brothers, it should be 10 taels.

Nothing else.

You can't expect too much from the third brother.

Over the years, who has seen him be generous?
There are still five remaining brothers, Twelve, who are one year older than him, and the money he can save is more than his own, so he doesn't use it for anything.

In this way, it is a hole of 35 taels...

Where to make up for this...

The fourteenth elder brother's eyeballs were spinning wildly, he couldn't hold it anymore, he entered the main room, and dismissed the nanny who was going to follow in to serve, he pulled the thirteenth elder brother and whispered: "Thirteenth elder brother, something is wrong... "

Brother Thirteen raised his head and said, "What's wrong?"

"Brother Jiu, this doesn't look like borrowing money, it's like joining together!"

Brother Fourteen excitedly said: "Otherwise, Brother Ninth would be so confident in borrowing money? He's still so awesome..."
