Chapter 347: Lifting the Stones
The weather in mid-June is extremely hot, but for those who have been bedridden for a long time, there is a sense of warmth.
I saw that Sang Zi was lying quietly in the rocking chair and quietly sipping the petal tea in her hand, and above her head, there was a large umbrella specially made of oiled paper to block the idle excess heat, and next to her were Zhiqin and others.
"I haven't seen their brothers in the past few days, do you know what errands they are busy with?" Sang Zi gently took a sip of the tea in his hand, looked at Zhiqin and asked.
Zhiqin took a step forward, his face was tangled for a moment, and then he spoke: "Master, now that the treasury is in deficit, our ninth elder brother has written a letter to solve the deficit of the treasury." ”
"What kind of excerpt is it?" Sang Zi asked with a frown, feeling a bad feeling in his heart.
"Master, it is the fold that collects the money from the treasury that the ministers have borrowed. Zhiqin glanced at her master slightly, and found that her brows had wrinkled, and she couldn't help but speak: "Master, those ministers of the court and the central government have borrowed a lot of silver from the treasury in recent years, and now the treasury is so empty, and the ninth elder brother is also worried about the emperor, but I didn't expect that the emperor would put this errand on the second elder brother." ”
"I heard that the ministers of the DPRK and China were unwilling to return the money. Zhishu glanced at his master carefully and said.
Zhiqi took a step forward and said angrily: "Master, those people are simply hateful, several of our little masters have personally boarded their mansion gates, and they dare not shirk not to return the silver, and I don't know if the time is up, whether the second elder brother can complete the errand given to him by the emperor." ”
Zhiqi is a simple character, and if she has anything to say, she will say it directly, but as soon as she said this, Zhishu couldn't help but tug at her sleeve and glanced at her, and sure enough, she saw her master's brows furrowed tightly, and then she knew that she was in trouble. Immediately wanted to say something, Zhishu quickly covered her mouth.
"Master, don't worry too much, even if the second elder brother can't finish this errand. The emperor will not start to blame our second elder brother for this incident!" Zhishu said this, and suddenly felt like she was beating herself in the mouth, but the words had already been spoken, and she had no choice!
Sang Zi's brows furrowed even tighter. She knew that in the history of the Qing Dynasty, there was an incident in which officials borrowed silver from the treasury, but what happened in the end? Not to mention the turmoil in the city, she was also resentful of the fourth elder brother who collected the silver taels at that time.
She vaguely remembered that it was mentioned in history that the ninth elder brother and the tenth elder brother were still selling the valuable items in their mansion at the gate of the palace for this matter, which can be said to be resounding throughout the capital.
But now, they are all their own children, and Xiao Jiu and Xiao Shi will not be able to argue with their second brother, it seems. Her appearance has changed a lot of the original history, but this deviation makes her sigh uncontrollably.
"Zhiqin, you go to Brother A's place to see if their brothers are there, if they are, let them come together!" Sang Zi said a word, and slowly brushed the petals floating in his hand.
"Yes, slave and maid will go. As he spoke, Zhiqin immediately responded. and instructed Zhishu and others to take good care of the master.
In the Ah Ge Institute, Yin Yu was furious and threw away the handkerchief he had just wiped in his hand, strode to his chair and sat down, and made an effort to inhale on his face.
"Brother Jiu. Don't be angry, come, my brother poured a glass of boiled water, you put out the fire first. Seeing his ninth brother's angry appearance, Yin'o hurriedly poured a glass of cold boiled water on the table and handed it to Yinyu's table.
However, it was good that he didn't mention it. When he mentioned this, Yinyu couldn't calm down, but he jumped up and pointed to the cup that Yin'o put on the side table where he was sitting: "Lord has drunk more than ten cups of tea today in order to collect the silver, but he is still led by those old foxes. ”
"Brother Jiu, there is no way to do this. Yin Ou gently walked to his ninth brother's side, pushed him to his chair and sat down: "The idea of collecting the silver this time was given by the ninth brother, and in the end, the errand fell on our second brother, isn't it obvious that those people are wrong to arrest our brother?"
Yin's Russia felt that those people were so bad that they didn't know how to return so much silver they borrowed from the treasury, and even when their brothers boarded the mansion, they dared to cry out for poverty, he didn't know, those big officials in the DPRK and the central government could have those people who were still poor?
"Xiao Jiu, don't be angry, let's think about what way to get those people to hand over the silver, otherwise, our second brother's errand will really not be completed. Yinqi also said a little helplessly, looked at the second brother who was frowning and thoughtful, and couldn't help sighing.
He knew that his second brother was anxious about this matter now, but it was obvious that those people just wanted to see the jokes of their brothers, seeing that half of the time had passed, and the four or five million taels of silver that had been confiscated were really useless!
"What can I do now? Continue to visit the door like today, and then be angry!" Yin Yu really feels powerless, these days he has followed his second brother to visit people, what is the result?
Bao Cheng heard his ninth brother so aggrieved words, his heart was not happy, his ninth brother had never suffered such idleness, but because of his own errand, his ninth brother had to bear these pressures and sulking, and his heart was also very uncomfortable.
"Xiao Jiu, you haven't said hello to our E-Niang for many days, so it's better for you to stay by our E-Niang's side and talk to her, so as not to make her bored alone. Bao Cheng looked at his ninth brother with some distress and said.
Yin Yu rolled his eyes directly, and looked at him dissatisfied: "Second brother, even if you want to get rid of your younger brother, you should think of a better reason." As he spoke, he habitually picked up the teacup on the table, but as soon as he put it to his mouth, he put it back angrily and looked at his second brother: "Second brother, those people clearly want to see our brothers' jokes, but if they lack my brother, who is acting, they may not even hand over a single silver." ”
This sentence is true, I remember that once, Yinyu did not follow Bao Cheng to collect the silver, but that day, Bao Cheng returned almost empty-handed, and from that time, they knew that those people were deliberately targeting them.
Thinking of this, everyone's faces almost turned blue with anger, but there was no way, everything was for this damn errand!
At this time, the attendant outside the door came to report, saying that the master had sent Miss Zhiqin to come! At this moment, the brothers quickly changed into a smile, so as not to be seen by Zhiqin at all, and then went back to tell their mother.
I saw that as soon as Zhiqin walked into the room, he saw Yinyu, who was smiling brightly, standing up: "Aunt Zhiqin, just now my master told my brother that I wanted to say goodbye to Eniang, and you are here." Saying this, even Yinyu himself felt weak.
Zhiqin glanced at them, thinking of the news he heard outside the door just now, he knew that these children were afraid that they would say something beside the master, and at that moment, there was a smile on his face: "That's a good feeling, the master is missing a few little masters at this time!"
When Yinyu heard this, he suddenly had a feeling of lifting stones, but his mother wanted to see their brothers, could he say no? )
