Piercing Stories (34)

The thirteenth master looked at the 50,000 taels of silver tickets in his hand, and his nose was sour. Since he lost his mother, over the years, he has been sheltering his two younger sisters from the wind and rain, who would have thought that today, there is also someone standing in front of him, to shelter himself from the wind and rain, and to hold up a piece of the sky.

In the past few years since he left the palace, if you do the math, there is really only expenses, and there is basically no income. Although the expenses in the government are all rationed by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the cost of personal contacts is not small. In addition, the festival to the palace during the New Year's Festival, the birthday gift of all the mothers. The nephew's niece's 100th birthday of the third full moon, the birthday of the elders of the clan. Not to mention how outstanding it is, but it can't be bad on the whole. Casually, if you do the math carefully, you will send out silver almost every day. In addition, he is young, and there are only one or two children, and he can't even find a reason to receive gifts.

In the first two years, he did borrow 100,000 taels of silver from the household department. The more than 200,000 taels distributed out of the palace were subsidized to the younger sisters, and there was not much left. The past two years have also been almost spent.

Now that the house is full, it is only 100,000 taels of silver, which is still made up by Fu Jin taking out part of the dowry silver at the bottom of his box. If the money is returned, the house will really not be able to turn around. You can't live on the remaining dowry of Fujin.

Fujin's maiden family can't help either. has only been tied to the prince all these years, and he can't be particularly iron with any brother. I can't find a place to ask for help.

When I was embarrassed and didn't know what to do, I didn't expect the fourth brother to send someone to send an invitation, and the envelope would be a silver ticket of 50,000 taels. It can be said that the burden on one's body has been shared all of a sudden.

Thirteen Fujin breathed a sigh of relief slightly, this day has to go on, doesn't it?

"Take it. "Thirteen will give the silver ticket to Fu Jin," this is the fourth brother's intention. The fourth brother knows the situation in the house. Don't slap your swollen face and pretend to be fat. ”

Thirteen Fujin took it, and a smile appeared on his face, "In the future, I often go over to talk to my fourth sister-in-law." ”

"Don't be so deliberate. Thirteen smiled. They are all dragons and phoenixes, and no one has a point in their hearts. But as long as half of the fourth brother's heart is sincere, he will admit it. When it's difficult, I can pull myself along, and what I think about for myself is my own brother.

And Fourteen was sitting opposite the fourth master at the moment.

The fourth master still had a faint anger on his face, "...... 50,000 taels is not enough? You borrowed 180,000 taels, have you used them all up?"

The corners of Fourteen's mouth were vaguely flicked, of course, they were used up. Otherwise, those lower-level military attaches in the army would be willing to be close to him at all. Don't pay a price for what you do. Not everyone is like the fourth brother, who □□ the people who are willing to take refuge, and then find a way to find an errand and let them out. The fourth brother can give them official positions, but of course he will not spend money on his subordinates, because his subordinates always find ways to send him money. How much power is to assist in political affairs in the capital. The person who arranges it, as long as it is not related to the overall situation, the emperor is not turning a blind eye. I don't care. Who doesn'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 spending.

“…… When you left the palace, you already had 230,000 taels of silver for the placement expenses, plus the 180,000 taels you borrowed. These alone are four hundred and ten thousand taels of silver. If you don't believe it, there will be no one below who will honor you. Where did you spend all this money? You didn't build a garden, and you didn't build a theater building to support the troupe. Even if you drink gold and swallow silver, this amount is not right. The fourth master looked at the fourteenth master and asked.

The Fourteenth Master was a little annoyed, who hasn't ordered his own secrets? What do you say about yourself in such a thorough analysis? Say that I am quietly trying to win over contacts and secretly covet the position of the crown prince.

Isn't this looking for a draw?

He said irritably: "You just say borrow or not." ”

The fourth master looked at the old fourteen and didn't say much, but slowly restrained his emotions, and his fingers lightly tapped the table, as if he was measuring something.

After a long time, he opened his eyes and called Su Peisheng in a loud voice, "Go and tell Fu Jin, the master is in a hurry to use the silver." Ask her how much cash she can use. ”

Su Peisheng responded and hurriedly left.

A hint of surprise flashed in Fourteen's eyes. Could it be that the fourth brother really has no money in his hand? He didn't want to believe it. But what kind of virtues his brothers are, and his family knows very well, and if he doesn't have a way, he won't use Fujin's dowry. What the fourth brother asked for from the fourth sister-in-law must be the fourth sister-in-law's dowry silver. The income in the house is fine, and the fourth brother will definitely not hand it all over to a woman to take care of. Because there are big things involved in this. He wouldn't make such a mistake.

Then it can only really be the dowry of the fourth sister-in-law.

Lin Yutong listened to Su Peisheng's words, first stunned, and then said, "Wait a minute." So saying, he went into the inner room. From the dark compartment on the bed, he took out a small box, and then went out and handed it to Su Peisheng, "If these are not enough, I will raise them." That's all there is to it at home. ”

These are all silver tickets, and the gold and silver in the treasury cannot always be carried over now.

Su Peisheng was holding this thing like holding a phoenix egg, and said with a flattering smile: "Fujin, how much is this?"

"One hundred thousand. Lin Yutong said, and said, "If it's not enough, you send someone to say it." ”

Su Peisheng hurriedly retreated and handed over to the fourth master.

The fourth master watched Su Peisheng gently click on the box when he sent it in front of him. He was still a little surprised. Fujin's original dowry, ornaments and furniture are all counted in it, and it is more than 100,000 taels. There is even more silver in cash. Unexpectedly, in the past few years, it has been doing well, and I have saved more body than I thought.

He opened the box, and the silver tickets inside were of varying denominations. The big ones had ten thousand taels, and the small ones had three or five hundred taels. It's a full 100,000 taels, yes.

Su Peisheng said: "Fu Jin asked the slave to tell the master, and the family is like this now." If it's not enough, it's too late to raise it right away. ”

Fourteen's face turned a little red. He didn't even touch his Fujin's silver, but he came over and robbed his sister-in-law, what is this called?

The fourth master nodded, put the silver ticket back intact, and pushed the box in front of the old fourteen, "This is a whole hundred thousand." plus the 50,000 taels I gave you earlier, for a total of 150,000 taels. Take them all. As for his previous expenses for the silver, he didn't ask a word.

Fourteen eyebrows jumped, 100,000 taels. That's not a small amount. There is only a total of 180,000 taels of debt, and the fourth brother is asked to share 150,000 taels, which is really something that I didn't dare to think of before.

He stood up embarrassedly, "Fourth brother......"

The fourth master waved his hand, "Okay! You're also old." It also has its own things. Ye didn't interfere much. ”

Fourteen didn't know how to get out of the Fourth Master's Mansion. I don't think it's a good taste. forced the fourth brother to use the fourth sister-in-law's silver, how to think about this matter, how not authentic.

After the fourth master left, he took a box from the dark compartment of the bookshelf and came out, carried it himself, and went to the inner courtyard.

"What is this?" said Lin Yutong as he looked at the box. This isn't the box I gave out. Without waiting for the fourth master to answer, he reached out and opened the box, and inside were four silver tickets of 50,000 taels, a full 200,000 taels. I turned around and doubled it back. This is what game to play.

I really don't understand why he has his own money, so he bothered to come back to ask for her.

"Fourteen is a bottomless pit. If you don't, it's going to be hard to get rid of in the future. The fourth master took off his boots, and his whole body seemed to be relaxed.

But that's too much. Although Lin Yutong is not rare for that bit of silver, the generosity of the fourth master is really rare.

smiled and said, "Now I'm just afraid to know who my brother is?"

"Not for that. The fourth master replied casually. But what is the deep meaning behind this, the fourth master did not explain.

Lin Yutong didn't ask, he had too many calculations in his heart, even if he said it, for a while, with his own understanding, he was afraid that he wouldn't understand it too thoroughly.

He only changed the subject and said, "Do you still want to borrow silver?" and pushed the box over.

The fourth master didn't understand what it meant at first, and only said, 'No'. After speaking, he realized that Lin Yutong was joking, so he smiled: "Why, I was dazzled by such a high interest." I was also fascinated by money. ”

Borrow 100,000 and repay 200,000. It's a business that everybody is happy to do.

Lin Yutong raised his eyebrows and looked at him, isn't this an obvious thing?

Of course, Fourteen didn't know the twists and turns in his heart, and he was a little moved in his heart. Look, this is my brother. No matter how hard he usually scolds and how dark his face is, he doesn't drop the chain when it matters. Thinking about it like this, he suddenly blushed for the bad things he said behind his back on the back of the fourth brother. I feel a little guilty in my heart. But after thinking about it, didn't he do that to get some money out of Lao Jiu's hand? It seems to be understandable.

Thinking about it this way, and then comparing it, Lao Jiu is a bit unauthentic.

I didn't say a word, and the fourth brother quietly asked someone to send 50,000 yuan. I just came to try it, but I didn't think it would be successful, but as a result, the fourth brother gave himself another 100,000 yuan.

But what about Lao Jiu? He cried in front of him several times, and he didn't take out a big son. How could he be willing?

So, he wanted to go back to the house directly, but turned around and went to the mansion of the ninth master.

The ninth master is being irritable at this time, because the tenth is sitting opposite him and playing tricks. This hasn't been sent away yet, but Fourteen is here again. Hell if he's in a good mood. If you don't see it, but if you don't see it, you will offend people.

What can I do?" "The Ninth Master has a weak Dao.

As soon as Fourteen entered the study, he was looked at by Lao Shi's resentful gaze, "Fourteen, you have a brother." But I don't have ten of you. Only Brother Jiu is close to me, and you still come to get involved. You're not authentic. ”

Jiu Ye suddenly felt that it might not be a bad thing to keep Lao Shi.
