Chapter 14: Nine Elder Brothers' Additional Investments
Manhua and the fifth elder brother did business, the first shot was fired, and they made a lot of money, and the women who had some spare money in the entire Qing Dynasty wore the beautiful palace flowers made of feathers sold in the shops under Manhua's name or wholesaled.
After the arrival of Brother Jiu, Manhua put a stack of silver tickets in front of him, and said to him that this is the money earned by this batch of head flowers, and in addition to the capital, everyone has earned three thousand taels of silver.
"In addition to Ben, I also earned three thousand taels of silver, isn't that many times over?" Brother Nine gasped in surprise.
"How? Believe me in my ability to do business, right? Now the capital will be returned to you, and the profit of three thousand taels of silver will be paid off. ”
Brother Jiu's eyes lit up and he thought for a while, pushed the silver ticket of four thousand taels of silver in front of Manhua, and said with a smile: "Cousin, I know that you are capable of doing business, and I also believed in you at that time, so I invested one thousand taels of silver in you." In this case, this time I will invest four thousand taels of silver in your shop again with interest, and if you make money, I will do it. ”
Manhua accepted the four thousand taels of silver and said to Brother Jiu: "Cousin, you can't be wrong if you believe me!" When the time comes, if you make money, let's divide the account fifty-fifty, you see, as soon as it changes hands, thousands of taels of silver will go into your pocket, which is better than you doing corruption, which has not come so quickly. ”
Now Kangxi has not sent Brother Jiu to do anything, his main task is to read, read or study.
From the fourth elder brother to the eighth elder brother, Kangxi asked them to assign him some small tasks in addition to studying, and asked him to assist the officials in managing some things, such as the fourth elder brother assisting in the affairs of the Zhengbaiqi military camp, and the eighth elder brother assisting in the affairs of the internal affairs government, etc., but reading is still the main task.
After the ninth elder brother pushed the four thousand taels of silver in front of Manhua, he said to her, "I believe in you, give money." Last time you asked me to send a palace flower with feathers to the lady in the palace, I did all the same, and if I was asked to do something I could do this time, I would do it too. ”
For the sake of money, Brother Jiu let it go.
Manhua smiled, and she said, "Cousin, the two of us will do business together, and you will not suffer a loss if you say a few words in the palace." I heard that because you respect your elders, your emperor Ama rewarded you with a thousand taels of silver, right? ”
Brother Jiu said: "Cousin, you also know about the fact that Huang Ama rewarded me with a thousand taels of silver, it's true!" ”
"Cousin, you also know that my maternal grandfather is Prince An, and he doesn't know anything about the affairs in the palace."
"Hehe, I'm really embarrassed to think about it, send a few palace flowers, and I will get a reward of 1,000 taels of silver. The emperor's elder brother and the concubines in the palace said that I was sensible and respected the elders. This time, my mother didn't blame me, but secretly sent me a gold ingot, your idea is really good, I make money outside, and I take money in the palace, killing two birds with one stone! ”
Manhua looked at Brother Jiu, thinking to himself that this kid seems to be a miser, but in fact, he still has one set of ideas after another about making money, and it is estimated that it is good to cooperate with him.
Concubine Yi saw her youngest son, Brother Jiu, and ran to Prince An's mansion in three days, thinking that he was going to play with his cousin, and said to him, you kid likes to go to Manhua Gege so much, can't you take a fancy to her?
"My cousin is too strong, if I let her be my concubine, I can't stand it." Brother Jiu said.
"Does your cousin dare to bully you?" Concubine Yi asked puzzled.
"It's not a bully, but I always think she's superior to me." Brother Jiu said depressedly.
