- It will take some time to go out this time, and you will wait at home for me to come back.

The night before leaving, he only said this sentence. Before dawn on the second day, he stepped out of the gate.

I stood at the gate, beside me was Xiaoyan, who was sent by Yinxiang in the morning. Gao Wuyong led the night to stand at the bottom of the steps, and when Yinzhen got on the horse, he knelt on the ground, saying auspicious words such as wishing the fourth master and the thirteenth master a safe journey and success.

The two of us women stood straight and watched them go away on two horses, one black and one white. The sky gradually became red daylight, shining on the two shadows farther and farther. There is no entourage, only two brothers, and they don't even bring much luggage, these are two princes, Kangxi is also relieved, what do you want them to do?

Xiaoyan and I watched the Hongwan sisters and brothers in the house every day, or went to Wanxianglou and Yiyantang to count the silver, life seems to be very beautiful, but the other half of our lives is missing, and we can only rely on each other.

We lay on the big bed in the guest room of Baylor Mansion together, Xiaoyan joked that only the fourth master could go to my bed, I was speechless, but she said that she understood and raised her hands and feet to support. The latter sentence is not spoken, but we are all like a mirror, they will also go to a lot of other people's beds, there is no way to solve this matter, I don't want to and can only passively accept it.

We would sit on the bed with the quilt and chat, sometimes talking all night, from ancient times to modern times, from what we experienced to more distant historical references, from our student days to the inhumane migrant workers, from the joys and sorrows of the past to the eyes of today. Until the sky is getting brighter, I will sleep with the pillow again.

Such days have passed for a long time, from the scorching heat of June to the cool early autumn of August.

In the meantime, on the 25th day of July, Lao Jiu's beautiful Changfu Jin Moyu finally gave birth to a daughter for him. We knew she was pregnant, and her smile was not good-looking, but I couldn't say anything. It's just that not long after Yinzhen and them left Beijing, they asked Xiaorong to go to Suzhou to open a second branch, so that she could use her busy work to divert her attention, and she was also far away from Lao Jiu at this embarrassing time.

At this time, Yiyantang's business had already recovered from its former bustle, or even better, and the new stores in Suzhou were making a lot of money. Kangxi and Yinzhen didn't know that if it weren't for the word Yinyue, the beautiful Jiangnan Water City would be far more desirable than Hangzhou West Lake.

But it's been two months, and they haven't come back, and we don't even know where they've gone, and we don't even know where they've been, and there's nowhere to ask. It turned out that Hyo-yan didn't know either, and she began to become as worried as I was.

In terms of life and self-care ability, I am not worried, although the two men are used to being masters, they are not unbearable. As for survival in the wild, I really don't know how Yinzhen is, but I once said that as a super traveler, I absolutely believe that even if it is degraded, it is impossible to forget all the survival skills. The problem is that in the Qing Dynasty, who can guarantee that there are no "green forest heroes" for those semi-developed or undeveloped mountain roads and waterways.

Thinking about all kinds of possible bad things, we finally decided to wait for them to come back with great expectations, anyway, the lives of two people in history are still very long, and they will always come back.

We sat on the second floor of the Yiyan Hall and drank fruit tea comfortably, and Hongwan sat on the side to practice the piano with the explanation, and our life was still simple and fulfilling.

On the second floor across the street, there was a sound of porcelain breaking, which interrupted the sound of the red harp, and the noise made the little girl straighten her eyes, and her little hands covered her heart and looked at me in horror.

Who is so blind and dares to smash the cup and cup (CEI) bowl in Junyue Xuan? This is tired of life and wants to die, so he wants to smash the Ninth Master's field and strive to ascend to Bliss early? Xiaoyan and I looked at each other dumbly.

The window on the opposite side was so closed that nothing could be seen. Since sitting here in the morning, I haven't seen Lao Jiu enter the door, and I don't know if the money can handle it. Xiaoyan and I watched it for a long time, but we still decided to go over and take a look, after all, the troubles of Yiyantang on weekdays are all settled by Lao Jiu, and we always have to exchange courtesies. appeased Hong Wan and asked Xie Yu to accompany her, then pulled Xiaoyan downstairs and went straight to the opposite door.

Money is sick...... No wonder these boys who ran the hall stood upstairs with wide eyes and didn't dare to go up.

Looking for the voice, I stood in front of the usual private room, and only then did I hear it clearly, it was the old ten who were shouting, so it should be their brothers, and they were definitely not hooligans who came to smash the field.

Xiaoyan and I laughed silently and turned around to leave, but I heard a voice from the fourth and thirteenth, I really didn't want to eavesdrop on their brother's conversation, but these words made my feet seem to have roots, and I couldn't leave, Xiaoyan also widened his eyes and ears to listen.

Their conversation was actually unfocused, basically Lao Shi was shouting loudly, and occasionally heard Lao Jiu's chuckle and ridicule. Yinzhen is also there, and sometimes he will persuade his tenth brother not to be angry, but he didn't help to say anything bad about his fourth brother. As for the gentle Babel, his soft voice and concise language were difficult to hear clearly under Lao Shi's voice.

After listening to it for a while, I understood that Kangxi actually sent his two sons to Jiangnan to raise money, just because the household department was already in deficit due to the disaster last year, and the prince Lao Shi and others had borrowed a lot from the household department, and they were also urged by Yinzhen to repay the money at this time. And if the brothers don't pay back the money, they still want to cause chaos for Yinzhen.

An elder brother's annual income is at least five or six thousand taels, not counting other rewards, and this old ten is not enough to spend, so he dares to borrow fifty thousand taels to squander. If he is not knighted by Kangxi, it will be his salary for nearly ten years, I really don't know how he calculated. Even if he can repay the loan in installments in modern times, he can't be so unreliable, he really thinks that the household is opened by his own family and can be withdrawn casually?

I pulled Xiaoyan and left quietly, and quickly ran back to Yiyan Hall to explain that Xie Yu took the red back to the mansion, and then went to Wanxiang Building.

Xiaoyan looked at my full hand of silver tickets, shook his head and sighed incomprehensibly, but he still handed over the profits of Wanxianglou to me.

Luckily, the two of us have four stores operating at the same time, and the money will be coming back soon. I put the silver ticket in order and wrapped it in a handkerchief, and returned to the private room of Grand Hyatt Height.

Facing the open door and Xiaoyan and me, Lao Shi's big voice suddenly stopped and choked in his mouth, and the four brothers were a little stunned. Babel stood up with a smile, but Lao Shi sat back on the chair, and Lao Jiu and Yinzhen walked over with a smile.

"Fourth sister-in-law, thirteenth brother and sister, how can you have time to come here today? The fourth brother and the thirteenth brother are not here. ”

It is said that I don't stretch out my hand to hit the smiling person, not to mention that I am not here to fight, smiled at the greeting Yinyu, walked to the table and put the handkerchief lightly in front of the tenth child, and said: "I know that your fourth brother is not here, I don't know where the others are, there are only three sentences to come over today, and I will leave after speaking, so as not to hinder your brothers from chatting and drinking." ”

Lao Shi stretched out his hand and lifted the handkerchief, looked at a stack of silver tickets, his eyes widened, and looked at me in surprise, "Fourth sister-in-law, you are ......"

I looked at him and grinned, and looked at the four brothers in turn, "First sentence, what kind of temper and temperament does the fourth master have, you should know better than me as brothers." This time he is doing things for Huang Ama, for the court, for the people, if you do something bad and offend the four brothers, don't take it to heart. ”

Yinzhen's face was a little uncomfortable, and he lowered his head and smiled before he came over to look at me and said, "Fourth sister-in-law, you can say what you say." ”

I shook my head and sat next to Lao Shi, pointing to the silver ticket on the table, "The second sentence, there are 40,000 taels here, I know that it is not enough for the deficit of the tenth brother, you can take it first." We have known each other for fourteen years, and your fourth sister-in-law also knows that her voice is louder than anyone else, but she forgot it overnight, and she just looked forward to this time, or. ”

Without waiting for the old ten to react, I got up and walked to Yinyu, only then did he raise his head, he had already walked to the table and sat down, and looked up at me in turn, causing me to laugh, "The last sentence, the profit of the fragrance of the woman, I have never asked you, now, you take 10,000 taels out, and give me the 50,000 taels of the tenth brother, I believe that you can still count your words back then." ”

After speaking, he pulled Xiaoyan to the door, Yinyu chased after him and blocked the door and whispered: "Fourth sister-in-law, you ......"

"What am I? I didn't do it right, I know. Because Huang Ama wants the arrears of the household, and whoever owes it will pay it back. I shouldn't have put my own money behind my back when the fourth master was working hard to raise money for the world, and I shouldn't have dragged him back. But I know better that you are his brothers, no matter how difficult he is, he is the fourth brother, this is fate, he has no choice, and you are too, so don't blame him. ”

"Fourth sister-in-law. The old ten shouted, grabbed the silver ticket and walked over a few steps, stretched out his arm and wanted to push it on me, "I can't ask for this silver, the fourth sister-in-law can take it back." Ye is a prince and a man, where can I take the money of your woman's family, Ye will find a way himself. ”

"The tenth brother is polite, they all said that you are brothers, where can you tell so clearly. It's true that I'm a woman, but I never care about things outside the body like silver, as long as it's out of it, I'm happy to give it out for you. ”

Lao Shi opened his mouth and wanted to argue, but Yinxi walked to him with a fan, nodded at me and smiled shallowly, "Fourth sister-in-law, Lao Shi's affairs are up to our brothers, and the fourth sister-in-law doesn't have to worry." Going to save the fourth sister-in-law that day is also what our brother should do, and the fourth sister-in-law doesn't have to take it to heart. ”

This Babel is really powerful, I didn't mention a word, but let him say it like I was trying to repay the favor, if I let Lao Shi hear this, I can't feel ashamed, and I can't accept it.

I covered my mouth and laughed, shook my head and still looked at Lao Shi, "Tenth brother, do you think that the fourth sister-in-law gave you the silver in order to repay your life-saving love that day? Then our uncle and sister-in-law for more than ten years are really in vain." Even if I don't care about the dignity of your prince and the face of a man, I still feel that my life is not so worthless. ”

Yin Yu closed the fan with a slurp, turned to look out the window, and Lao Shi was still stunned there with the silver ticket. Yinzhen stood at the table and watched, knocked on the table with one hand, lowered his head and did not speak.

Xiaoyan tugged at my sleeve, and his voice was not loud but he could hear it clearly, "Fourth sister-in-law, let's go, it is not only not accepted but also saved, anyway, this time the fourth brother and the thirteenth master went on an errand, and it was the will of the emperor Ama, and if it was not returned, it would be a protest, there would always be an explanation." You don't have much time to live, so don't worry about it anymore. At that time, not only the brothers will not appreciate it, but the fourth brother will have to blame you, maybe he will be punished by the emperor, it is not worth it, and he has not to let himself be a human being. ”

Knowing that Xiaoyan was helping me, he patted her hand and sighed, "Tenth brother, whether you use this silver ticket or not, the fourth sister-in-law will leave it here for you first." My woman is not as good as your ninth brother, it is really not easy to earn some money, you can be considerate of me, no matter when you have to pay me back. ”

After speaking, I didn't care about the reaction of the four masters, I pulled Xiaoyan out of the room and left Junyue Xuan.
