Brother Jiu was afraid that others would know that he and Manhua had joined forces to do business and made a lot of money, so he asked him to borrow money. He said to the fifth elder brother: "Fifth brother, you must help me hide it, I am afraid that others will ask me to borrow money." However, fifth brother, if you ask me to borrow money, I can still consider it. If someone else wants to do it, I will borrow it only after I have thought about it! ”

The fifth elder brother arrived and was amused, so he comforted the ninth elder brother and said to him: "Ninth brother, fifth brother, I am not short of money for the time being, and I will tell you if I am short of money!" ”

"I hope you don't spend money indiscriminately!"

When the fifth elder brother heard the ninth elder brother say this, he felt funny, so he went back to his mother.

Concubine Yi waited anxiously, and finally waited for the fifth elder brother to come back.

"Old Five, you go and ask Old Nine, what did he say?"

The fifth elder brother first laughed, and then said to Concubine Yi: "Mother, this old nine of yours is very business-minded, he took the money he saved, and joined hands with Cousin Manhua to do business, wow, he made tens of thousands of taels of silver, I really didn't expect these two to be masters of business, and now I want to invest the silver in their shop......"

"Is there such a thing?" Concubine Yi was so surprised that she opened her mouth wide, and she couldn't close it.

"Mother, you always say that the ninth brother is not as good as me to play, play and sing, and he is as stuffy as a gourd. But he quietly took a thousand taels of silver to join hands with Cousin Manhua to do business, my God, he actually earned tens of thousands of taels of silver, if Huang Ama knew, he would be surprised! ”

Concubine Yi hurriedly covered the mouth of the fifth elder brother, pulled him to sit beside her, and warned him: "Old Five, we must not tell others about the fact that our ninth brother and your cousin Manhua are making a lot of money." Now the mother's money is also a little tight, knowing that your ninth brother has made a lot of money, take the opportunity to get some money from him to use, and then the mother's hands will be loose. ”

The fifth elder brother smiled and said: "Mother, if you want to get money from Lao Jiu, I think it's very difficult!" ”

Concubine Yi said: "Mother concubine, I also know that Lao Jiu is a miser, but how can I say that this palace is also his mother concubine, and he is the mother who gave birth to him, so he will never pick on his mother concubine, right?" ”

The fifth elder brother couldn't help laughing, he said: "Mother, when the time comes, Lao Jiu will definitely complain to you, how difficult he is and how difficult it is, he said that you have an annual silver receipt every year, you ask him for money, and then he doesn't ask you for money!" ”

Concubine Yi knew that her youngest son was very picky about money, and she was still thinking about how to get money from her youngest son.

Concubine Yi then cried poor in front of her youngest son, saying that she only had three hundred taels a year, six palace maids waiting, plus two eunuchs, and the silver was not enough.

The fifth elder brother actually sang and harmonized with his mother, and in front of the ninth elder brother, he took a hundred taels of silver out, saying that this was his filial piety to his mother.

Concubine Yi waited for her youngest son to take how much silver she would give herself. However, Brother Jiu was silent, as if he hadn't heard it.

Concubine Yi couldn't help it, so she asked Brother Jiu: "Old Jiu, your fifth brother gave your mother a hundred taels of silver, and you didn't pull out a dime??"

Brother Jiu said solemnly: "Mother, isn't there still more than 5,000 taels of silver in the box under the bed in your bedroom?" Doesn't Huang Ama often secretly stuff money into you? ”

Concubine Yi never dreamed that her private money would be known to Brother Jiu.

The fifth elder brother couldn't help laughing, he thought about the calculation of the concubine, but he really made a mistake! However, the ninth brother not only picks on the money, but also knows the private money of the concubine very clearly.

Concubine Yi had no choice, it was in vain for her to cry poor in front of her youngest son.
