The fourth master still didn't believe Thirteen's words, squinted at him, and said, "You stinky boy, how old are you, you linger in the Goolan Washe, you really don't look good." You are a prince, pay attention to the image! ”

Thirteen smiled and said, "Fourth brother, I've only been there a few times, and I really haven't done anything!" ”

The fourth master waved his hand at Thirteen, signaling him to stop talking. The two sneaked up to the back of the carriage and blended into the back of the group.

The black door was pushed open from the inside out, and a middle-aged man who looked like a steward glanced at the old bustard standing in front of him, and then said a few words to her, and then waved his hand at these people, signaling them to enter.

In order to cover people's eyes, the fourth master and the thirteenth master deliberately kept their heads down, followed the crowd, and finally mixed up and entered the ninth master's villa.

As everyone walked into the inner courtyard, the fourth and thirteenth masters had already hid in the corner of a house when they were not paying attention, and no one noticed their whereabouts.

"Fourth brother, what should we do now? If you go to the front yard so rashly, I'm afraid that you will be recognized. If he bumped into Lao Jiu, he would definitely recognize it. Thirteen lowered his voice.

"Let's go to the dining room!" The fourth master thought for a while.

"Huh? Why? Thirteen glanced at the fourth master suspiciously, thinking that he was hungry, and said in his heart: Didn't he have breakfast before coming out.

"Lao Jiu, what does he like to do the most, don't you know? It's not yet lunchtime, but he'll be sure to order it early. And there are so many Qinglou women, I expect that he must have invited a lot of people. It's still the festival now, and the gang under Lao Jiu will definitely give him a New Year's gift, and they will definitely come to the capital to 'report on their work'. The fourth master said.

"Lao Jiu likes to eat and drink on weekdays, these people come to honor him for his silver, they must have good wine and good food to entertain, and they have invited so many prostitutes, obviously to entertain them." Thirteen is like a dream.

The fourth master nodded, thought about it, pulled over thirteen, and whispered a few words in his ear.

At that time, the ninth master and the eighth master were talking in the main house in his front yard, and they naturally didn't expect the fourth master and the thirteenth master to come uninvited.

"Lao Jiu, the amount of silver that came up this year is not as much as before." The eighth master sat on the right seat, holding an account book in his hand, and looked up to the ninth master sitting on the other side.

"No, it's a layer and a half less than in previous years. I have already asked Xu Jingshan, and he said that there are many floods in the Jianghuai generation this year, and the people's livelihood is difficult. Both the grain and the salt grain were produced less than in the past. The ninth master said, "He is also here today, let him come later, you will tell you in person." ”

"Not really. He is your man, and I only listen to you. Lao Jiu, at the beginning of this year, the prince and the fourth child are going there, you just asked Xu Jingshan to pay attention to it. "The eighth master is a book.

"Hmm. So, let's let this Xu Jingshan meet you privately. Tell him all that you are going to tell him. I'm not very good at those, I'm good at this! The Ninth Master said, raised a hand, rubbed his thumb and forefinger.

The eighth master hooked his lips slightly and said, "It's okay, then meet this Xu Jingshan." Is this man reliable? ”

"Absolutely reliable. This person is my cousin Xu Gege. He's also my big brother. Lao Jiu blinked and said.

"Oh, well, why don't you meet him first!" Eight Masters said.

"Starling, don't worry, this person is quite lustful. Didn't I just invite some of the most famous girls in the capital, let him be happy first. The ninth master showed a hint of "smile".

The eighth master skimmed him and said, "People have weaknesses, so they can be controlled." Since he likes beautiful women, you can help him find a few more and send them over. ”

"Starlings are high-handed. That's exactly what I did. The ninth master said, "Brother Starling, do you want a girl to serve?" ”

The eighth master shook his head and said: "You are setting me up, if your eighth sister-in-law knows, she will not peel off your skin!" ”

"Starling, I'm kind enough to let you relax, don't sell me in front of my sister-in-law! My cousin, what kind of personality, I know. Lao Jiu hurriedly said.

"Then you still dare to shove people in front of me?" The corners of the eighth master's mouth curled up with a hint of ridicule.

"Isn't this letting the starlings be loose and loose, just acting on the spot, and not taking it seriously." The Ninth Master said.

"Alright, don't make a fuss. Entertain these people well today, and we still have to rely on them to make money for us. The eighth master restrained the smile on his face and said.

"Hmm." The Ninth Master also restrained his smile.

At that moment, a banquet was being prepared, and the venue was in a patio behind the front yard. The seats and benches were all set up, and all kinds of minions were shuttling back and forth between the dining room and here, preparing for the upcoming banquet according to the instructions of the ninth master.

During the mixing of the fourth master and the thirteenth master, I saw the two of them with their heads down, one holding a fruit bowl in his hand, and he was serving it to each table.

After the two of them put down the fruit bowl, they followed the men out again, and just as the two of them reached the middle door, they suddenly dodged and hid in a room.

A room in this room opens slightly, just in time to see the whole banquet scene.

"Fourth brother, it's just right here!" The thirteenth master squatted on the ground, secretly opened a window, and looked outside.

"Let's take a look right here. Who did Lao Jiu invite? The fourth master nodded.

"Fourth brother, watching them eat and drink outside, I really can't stand it." Thirteen ways.

"Go back, the fourth brother will invite you to eat." The fourth master glanced at Thirteen and said.

The two brothers were in a room at the middle gate, listening to the noise outside.

After about a quarter of an hour, I finally heard a lot of footsteps coming here.

"Starling, this way, please!" Lao Jiu's voice came.

The fourth master immediately pricked up his ears and began to listen carefully to the movements outside. Over the years, Lao Ba and Lao Jiu have recruited a lot of people together, and they have done some things secretly, so that Lao Ba has gained a lot of popularity inside and outside the court.

The fourth master suddenly took the thirteenth to visit the ninth master's villa this time, in fact, because of the prince's words. The prince once told him that Lao Jiuzai's power in Jianghuai is not small.

The fourth master put this sentence in his heart, he knew that Lao Jiu had always been in business, and because of his status as a prince, he had already stretched out his hand far away by using various relationships.

Outside, the ninth master and the eighth master walked to the seats in front of them one after the other, they never thought that the fourth master and the thirteenth master would come.

Behind them, a group of people followed one after another, all of them were dressed in civilian clothes, and they were all stewards from all over the country who came from the Jianghuai generation to pay tribute to the Ninth Master.

"Sit down. Today, I will have fun with you starlings, don't be restrained. I'll have a girl later. The Ninth Master stood up and said to a group of people.
