Chapter 152: Big Eaters (60 plus more)
"Eight Flags can't do it when you see it. Huang Ama asked the eldest brother to stay in Shengjing, in fact, there was also the meaning of practicing the Eight Banners. Really three or five years later, if there is a big battle, it will be the children of the Eight Banners who will die, and there will be countless money and food in the world. Of course, Mama Su can calculate this account. Lao Ba also sighed lightly, "The lesser of the two evils, what Su Ma values most is Huang Ama and the eternal state of the Qing Dynasty!" ”
"What about you? Being on the border, I really haven't thought about competing in the world? Xia Mo looked at the eyes of the eighth child.
In the afternoon, she was not idle, although she had been painting, but her mind had been thinking about what the eighth had done in the past few years, and she detained him by her side to paint those flowers, birds, fish and insects, is that what the eighth really wants? Maybe "Ten Thousand Horses Galloping" is where his mind lies?
The old man glanced at her, looked at the painting on the table, and sighed, "You say, how long can the old man live?" ”
"For a long time! How strong his bones are! "Xia Mo didn't dare to say anything for at least twenty years, no matter how you said it, it was taboo to talk about Shengshou.
"Yes, if you want to fight now, what is it not looking for death? Besides, look at our brothers, the eldest brother has outstanding military achievements, the second brother is skilled in government affairs, and the third brother is brilliant. The fourth brother is rigorous and upright; And those younger brothers, the old thirteenth has the momentum of coming from behind, if the old fourteen is not pressed by you, I am afraid that it will also be a little leopard! No one is a fuel-efficient lamp! Lao Ba took a sip of tea, sighed softly, and left, but saw more clearly, pretending to be crazy and stupid all these years does not mean that he is really crazy and stupid, and now he is extremely grateful to Xia Mo for letting him learn to paint. Because I can draw, how many people can put their hearts at ease, and how much love I have won for myself. Sometimes open-mindedness is caused by the environment, because he has been cared for by everyone since he was a child, so he has always been very happy, and happy people do not have that kind of grievance. Looking at Xia Mo's worried eyes, he couldn't help but wonder.
"What do you think we have? It's not that I don't want to fight, but it's boring to fight, how good our lives are now, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, there is money and leisure, as long as the old man is here, we can live like this forever. In case he is not there, as long as it is not the third and thirteenth old, our lives will not be bad, so as long as we guard against the two of them, we can live comfortably to the end of the world! ”
The eighth child glanced at Xia Mo again.
"Besides, I'm a. If the old man doesn't want to see me, or treats them badly, maybe I will fight hard for them, but now Huang Ama loves us so much, if you calculate him again, he is still not a person! ”
Xia Mo breathed a sigh of relief, first worried that the eighth master had the intention to avoid the edge in front of him, for fear of provoking the fire, he was much smarter than the eighth master in history, but now it seems that he was wrong, the eighth master in history is not fighting for the big position, but for his mother, fighting for his own injustice.
Now, because of his butterfly wings, the eighth child is almost the most favored son of the old man, and he has lived in everyone's unburdened pampering since he was a child. To do that thankless job?
The prince is a frightened bird, the third, the ninth, and the thirteenth, in fact, each has its own unsatisfactory, they will behave so clearly, they are all afraid of death, and they are also unwilling to do so.
"Starling, how do you make Mama Su happy? Do you think we should accompany her to the grave of our ancestors? "Feel at ease, you can think about Mama Su's mood.
"Wait, I'll let the fast horse enter Beijing, there will be a reply in seven days at most, and now I have to let the secret guard collect the list of trade with Mongolia, I think, Huang Ama shouldn't mind letting us make a fortune first." Lao Ba touched his chin and tilted his head to think, he has always been the first and the next generation, and he has considered the overall situation, but he has never forgotten that he wants to share a big cup of soup.
Xia Mo is out, how long has it been serious, and he can immediately think of making money! This person is really hopeless, first I was worried that he had the mentality of chasing deer, but now it seems that his greatest pleasure is to circle money!
The eighth jumped to his feet and shouted, "Doesn't the master love money!" Doesn't you love to calculate! ”
Seven days later, the fourth and tenth, eleventh and fourteenth came.
"You're all here?" The eighth received the letter. rushed out of the door, and the brothers I saw were riding alone, and they were outside the door. The old man is so ruthless, it's over, as soon as they come, they say that they can't get a big share, it's really inward!
"What's this face?" Sisi gave him a blank look, and rushed all the way, with an indescribable feeling in his heart.
On the night four days ago, the old man urgently called the prince and himself to the palace, and did not say anything, only handed over the folds of the eighth child to them to see. After reading it, the prince was stunned for a long time and couldn't speak, and the fourth child also looked solemn, this is a big plan. If it is really done, the eighth child will have a great credit.
"What do you think?"
"You can give it a try." The prince thought about it for a while, and didn't let the eighth child do it, the old man couldn't get over here, what he was thinking about now was whether the eighth child had the mind to stand on his own.
"Fourth, what do you say?"
"Now that the eighth brother is bartering goods, let the eldest brother sell armaments in the future, is this too bold?" The fourth hesitated, if so. The eighth and the eldest have a lot of resources in their hands, and whoever grows stronger first will not be conducive to the current balance between the brothers.
"You don't want to think about why the eighth child did this?" The old man gave his two sons a blank look.
"Ahh The fourth child was stunned, looked at the excerpts, didn't he say it very clearly, provoking Mongolia to plunder each other, and let the court profit from it.
How much does the prince know about the old man, think about it, suddenly a flash of inspiration, the eighth kid is really restless, he sold paintings first and sold earth-shatteringly. Now, I want to go to Mongolia with money. Still holding the banner of balancing Mongolia, when the emperor Ama and his brother don't know you? shook his head with a smile, and said very implicitly, "Doesn't the eighth want to take the lead by himself, right?!" ”
"What do you think? first make a lot of money by yourself, and then by the way, you will fight each other with Mongolia, and then later, let the boss sell his armaments, which is what the court earns. It was all his before! Bastard boy! The old man slapped the table and yelled.
The fourth child looked at the excerpt, then looked at the old man's angry face, and thought about it, "The eighth didn't say that." ”
"He said barter, but he didn't say who would do it, I can't let the Ministry of Internal Affairs do it, is Mongolia a fool? Drill into the trap yourself? Naturally, I want to let the most familiar old eight operate, and he naturally takes the lion's share, this bastard boy, I have mistreated him, so much love money? ”
"Ahem, Huang Ama, the eighth child still thinks that Huang Ama is mainly worried about it." The prince's mentality relaxed, as long as he didn't come to fight for the throne, he could do whatever it wanted, he smiled, "What a good idea, it can make money for the court, and it can avoid the misery of life without spending a single soldier, which is a great achievement." ”
"Fourth, bring the tenth, eleventh, and fourteenth over, I don't believe it, he is embarrassed to swallow it alone." The old man slapped the table. So the fourth and the tenth were sent over.
"Starling, you are blessed, it seems that this is a good place!" Lao Shi jumped off the horse and rushed over to hug Lao Ba affectionately.
The eighth child picked him up and looked at the back, except for the fourth child who accompanied him, there was really nothing behind. They came to eat the big ones. I don't even bring a change of clothes, what a person!
"You're here naked?" The eighth looked at the fourteenth.
"E-niang originally asked someone to clean it up for me, but the fourth brother said, on the boundary of the starling, let the starling give a new one, and the starling now has money." The old fourteen said that it is called a dese.
"That's what I told E-Niang." The eleventh also happily patted his empty purse, saying that in the future, even the eighth child will be responsible for the odd flowers.
"Starling, Guo Luoluo will be here in a few days, you ask the eighth sister-in-law to prepare a courtyard, and there are rough subordinates or something!" Lao Shi made it clear that he came to eat big households, and said that he not only wanted to eat, but also brought his family to eat together, which was called a justifiable one.
The eighth child was about to vomit blood, so he brought a few of them out with tears and complained to Xia Mo about the unkindness of the brothers, but Su Ma was laughed at by the scoundrels of the brothers, and swept away the depression for a few days.
"Say hello to the fourth brother!" Xia Mo smiled and asked Sisi to say goodbye, let people serve hot water, let everyone wash their faces and wipe the grease, and galloped all the way, I was afraid that the emperor had a new will, they arrived so quickly, to be honest, they really didn't have time to clean up.
Several people washed their faces, and one drank a bowl of hot milk tea, and then they were relieved, and Sisi handed the dense folding box to the eighth.
Lao Ba retracted his smile and knelt to take it, there was no original fold in it, only a thin piece of origami paper, Lao Ba read it carefully and put it in the lamp and burned it, and they pretended not to see it.
Xia Mo didn't dare to ask in person, so she hurriedly beckoned people to serve hot meals and let them have a good meal. Then I hurriedly went to clean up the house, making myself look like I was very busy.
Su Ma also said that he was tired, so he went back to his room and vacated the main room so that the brothers could let go of the conversation.
"Huang Ama means that since the old fourteenth likes military affairs, he is in charge of the military part of Rehe, and he will give you a boost, and you can't go to Shengjing to find the eldest brother in everything. The eldest brother's will should be coming soon, and they will step up their training of the Eight Banners disciples in the past few years to prevent accidents. Lao Shi is the son-in-law of Mongolia, so he might as well let him walk around with the Yue family more, starting with their banner. Sisi slowly said the old man's plan, and the eighth child just saw the fold that said the same. Nodding, I have to admire the old man's foresight and meticulous thinking.
"What about me?" Lao Eleven is gone, why didn't he mention himself, he won't just eat dry rice!
"You're still afraid that you have nothing to do, but you're the busiest person in it." The eighth child has thought about it, the old ten, the eleventh is his own brother, of course it is always good to get some private money for them, besides, this is also to pull them out of the power circle of the capital, and also do things with a holy decree, what a good thing.
"Fourth brother, go back and tell the second brother, the fox garden was not completed at the beginning, and the younger brother has always remembered in his heart that this time it will be everyone's fault. I don't know Brother Jiangnan well, why don't you and your second brother send a few more capable people over to help the brothers? ”
The eighth is not stupid, the old man sent the old ten and they also brought an old fourteen, the prince and the fourth also know the inside story, and now they don't give it to them, no one will agree to it. So he hurriedly pushed the boat down the river and said to Sisi, he clicked on Jiangnan, indicating that he had no power in Jiangnan, but the prince's disciples and the fourth master's family were deeply rooted in Jiangnan. The matter of the supply is handled by the fourth prince and the fourth master.
