Chapter 2 The Fourteenth Elder Brother in Tongzhi Zhai
Starting
The top sandalwood carriage drove slowly on the official road leading to the capital, and then it was forty, but it was just over an hour. /First/Launch
The noon sun couldn't stop the cold wind of early winter, and the fourteenth elder brother came out of the inner city and rode his horse along Changyang Street in the capital towards the Nine Emperors' Mansion.
The warm pavilion is still purple and red, and the evening chrysanthemum is blooming brightly. The silver flask in the hot tub was steaming.
The fourteenth elder brother walked in with the Ugin horsewhip, the ninth elder brother stood up, and Qin Daoran stepped forward and poured a cup of Qiao Jiabai. Brother Nine smiled and said to Brother Fourteen: "You have been in the household for more than ten days, and you can only come out to disperse today, my brother specially called the drama of Sanqingyuan to sing a piece, and I will be there soon." As he spoke, he handed over the warm wine, "How's the account checking?" β
The fourteenth elder brother had a tired look on his face, but he was full of energy, sat down, took a drink from the wine glass, looked at the eighth and tenth masters who turned their heads, and shook his head, "We are also busy in vain, the silver entered the Qing Palace early without a sound, and the prince got the big head." You didn't see the face of the third child, he was pushed out by the prince to take the lead, I didn't see much sweetness, and Huang Ama saw that the people he caught were all people who were a little famous on weekdays, and he was not angry when he spoke. β
The eighth elder brother smiled slightly, "Zhao Shixian saved the driver in the end, and the emperor remembers his merits to some extent." Moreover, the emperor may not know that the prince is tossing, so naturally he will not be angry, but the third child has suffered a loss this time. β
Brother Jiu laughed, "The minions of our sect have already gotten the letter, and they have changed their accounts a little, and they can't grasp the big handle." On the contrary, those honest officials were taken out. I watched, and the emperor heard that Chen Bianzhi also had a share, but he was very angry. β
The tenth elder brother was already a little drunk, he stood up and patted the fourteenth elder brother on the shoulder, shouting: "I said the old fourteen, my brother doesn't admire it to this day, can't he be eleven at the beginning?" That girl is as big as you? How do you find out that she is a capable minion and clamoring for her to be her predecessor? Obediently, more than 140,000 taels a year, the wind up and down is not transparent, and the hole is directly filled, how much furniture does their Chen family have, so they don't blink their eyes to pay for the emperor's pocket? β
The fourteenth elder brother frowned slightly.
Brother Jiu sat on the armchair and laughed, turned his head to Qin Daoran, who was standing on the side, and smiled: "Your vision is not bad, when you packed the tickets for Qi Qiang and his sister-in-law, the master still muttered in his heart." Who knew she was the reincarnation of the God of Wealth?! β
Qin Daoran smiled: "The slave didn't think about it at the time. But I feel that Qi Qiangdi's sister is bold. The heart is fine. Since you have the courage to change the tent in the Nine Emperors' Mansion. And let the minions catch the tail. It is not difficult to manage the Jiangnan land tent. β
Brother Nine was stunned. "When did she change the land account of the grandfather's mansion?"
"Ye Ying hasn't forgotten the year, Qi Qiang went to Jiangnan to build a tooth shop. Ran out for a year. Just met the big Gege wash three. The eighth master invited the fourth master and the thirteenth master to discuss matters. Deliberately drove Delong's five rooms and some dry minions in the prince's mansionββ"
Eighth Brother laughed, "I still remember." On that day, it was Qi Qiang's sister who supported her outside, and the head of the land account must be through her hands. What did she do? β
Qin Daoran smiled: "It's also a big deal." Qi Qiangdi's sister and several fathers-in-law have some friendships. I took this opportunity. Take the silver in the Nine Masters' Mansion to do favors. gave them more decency in the banquet opera. and spent an extra hundred and twenty-six taels of silver. β
The ninth master and the tenth master looked at each other and laughed. The fourteenth elder brother's face was a little bad.
Eighth Elder Brother also laughed, "I'll just say that Li Quan'er is very polite to her on weekdays." Miss Qi before and after the girl. Qin Quan'er, who was beside the fourth child, was a cold face like his master, and when he saw her, he also smiled and wondered what was wrong with them......
Brother Ten laughed and panted, "Not bad, not bad, the guts are fat enough." This is the first time she has been in charge of your Ninth Master's Mansion, right? β
Qin Daoran said with a smile: "It's not just the first time, the important thing is that she hasn't married yet, and she is only thirteen years old, and she is as old as the fourteenth master, so she dares to reach out and grab the silver-" Speaking of this, he heard Fu Yourong outside say cautiously: "Master, the second steward of Qi has brought Miss Qi to greet you-"
The fourteenth elder brother stood up suddenly, opened the door of the warm pavilion, held the Ugin horsewhip, and rushed out.
Several elder brothers were stunned, Qin Daoran came back to his senses for a while, heard the voice outside the warm pavilion, walked to the door to look, and exclaimed: "The fourteenth master dragged Qi Qiang's sister awayββ"
Qi Su Niang was dragged by the arm of the fourteenth elder brother and dragged all the way to Tongzhizhai. Qi Qiang's face was so shocked that he was about to follow, but was stopped by Qin Daoran, who chased him out of the Warm Pavilion.
Qi Su Niang saw that the face of the fourteenth elder brother was extremely ugly, and knew that it was about to explode at the touch of a button, thinking about the matter of asking the fourteenth master, endured the severe pain on his arm, and did not say a word, and let him drag him all the way from the corridor.
Entering the water pavilion straight away, the fourteenth elder brother threw Qi Su Niang to the side of the fence and glared at her coldly, half
Phonate.
Qi Su Niang swallowed a mouthful of spit, forced herself to calm down, and endured the convulsions on her lower back, "Fourteenth Masterβ"
When the fourteenth elder brother heard this, he whipped over a red-backed chair with his backhand, glared at Qi Su Niang and scolded angrily: "Look at the you did, do you still have a master in your eyes!" β
Qi Su Niang looked at the red-backed chair that had been whipped into rotten wood by the Ugin horsewhip, gasped, and barely stood up holding on to the railing, "Slave maid...... The slave maid asked the fourteenth master to say goodbye. β
The fourteenth elder brother kicked the red Eight Immortals table away with one kick and slammed it on the pink wall lattice window. Qi Su Niang closed her eyes tightly, only to hear a sound of cracking and breaking, followed by a sound of bottles breaking and cups cracking in the pink wall room, "Settle a fart!" I used to be too used to you as a minion! Do you still have a master in your eyes now! β
"Slave maid...... Slaves don't dare to ......"
"Don't dare? What dare you?! You chartered a painting boat to drink flower wine, and went to the opera garden to listen to the play and drink, what did you not dare? Ye is not dead yet! You did these immoral things, and you didn't think to come to report to the master, beg the master, and pull your brother along? - Capable minions? What is the use of this slave for you? Do you still point to you, a minion, to earn money for you? β
Qi Su Niang held back her tears, "I wanted to...... The Crown Prince...... The Fourteenth Master must have no kung fu ......"
"Whether the master has merit or not is the business of the master! To be a slave is to know how to measure! What is the matter of self-leveling, what is the matter to ask the master, do you want the master to teach you! The fourteenth elder brother whipped the railing fiercely, only two fingers away from Qi Su Niang, and the fist-thick railing broke in response. The knife-like wind blew Qi Su Niang's face with pain, and she was so startled that she took two steps back and sat down on the ground.
The green brick floor was cold and cold, Qi's face was so white that there was no blood, cold sweat was flowing on his body, and he was trembling to speak, but his lips were trembling.
The tenth elder brother became more and more annoyed, "Look at you stupid! I can't whip you to death! You shrink your hands and feet like this in front of the master, expecting to fool the master again, and you don't have anything to do with your slave, even if you are lawless, there is no master in your eyes!? You've got it wrong! β
Qi Su Niang trembled and said, "...... I didn't ......" She knew that the fourteenth elder brother would not really hurt her, but the fear of his fury in her heart could not be stopped, where could she care about calling herself a slave?
"You don't?" The fourteenth elder brother sneered, walked to Su Niang and slowly squatted down, stared at Qi Su Niang and said, "On the day when Fayuan Temple admired the lilacs, what did you and Lian Zhenyun do secretly?" He dared to hook up with his master's minions in front of him! If it weren't for the starling's business, or for the dignity of your minion, Ye should have cut that bastard who didn't know how to live or die into three pieces! β
As soon as Qi Su Niang heard this, her frightened heart was thrown aside, and she immediately shouted: "I have no personal relationship with him-"
The fourteenth elder brother scolded fiercely: "If you want to have a personal affair with him, the master will have killed you a long time ago!" Stupid minions who don't have long eyes! You are not allowed to go to his house again! The voice suddenly raised, "Do you hear me!" β
Qi Su Niang nodded again and again in horror, not daring to say another word. The fourteenth elder brother was angry, and when he saw that she was honest and obedient, his heart softened, snorted, and stood up, "Get up."
β
When Qi Su Niang saw his face, she knew that she was already overdone, so she finally breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly got up. The fourteenth elder brother sat down on the edge of the fence, "Come here." β
Qi Su Niang walked over slowly, stopped in front of the fourteenth elder brother, bit her lip, and said with a smile: "Fourteenth master......"
"What are you going to do about Chen Bianzhi?" The fourteenth elder brother looked at Qi Su Niang, "The emperor may not believe that he is greedy for ink, but he will suspect that he has embezzled the warehouse silver-you say, is he-"
Qi Su Niang hurriedly shook her head and said: "Back to the fourteenth master, he didn't embezzle half of the silver from the imperial court, those silver-those silver-"
The fourteenth elder brother waved his hand, "Master is not interested in knowing where you got the silver from, as long as it is not misappropriated." Glancing at Qi Su Niang, he snorted, "Since Chen Bianzhi is an official, the people under him should flatter you." "Stand up," Lao Thirteen and Chen Bianzhi have a good relationship, they came to me a few days ago, and now the master will find him to go with him and tell the emperor that he will check the cangyin of Yangzhou Mansion, as long as he has no evidence that he is greedy for ink and embezzlement, the emperor has lost Zhao Shixian, so he naturally wants to protect him. β
Qi Su Niang never expected that the fourteenth elder brother would decide the matter so neatly, and she didn't need to say half a word, her eyes suddenly turned red, and she gave a salute with tears, "The slave has thanked the fourteenth master......
The fourteenth elder brother snorted, "You just stay here, no one tells you to move, wait for the master to come back from the palace." With that, he walked out of the water pavilion, walked through the corridor, and hurried away.
The music in the warm pavilion sounded, and the drama in Sanqingyuan sang the songs that the fourteenth elder brother loved to listen to. Qi Su Niang looked at the back of the fourteenth elder brother in the distance, leaned on the railing and listened, singing exactly that, "...... The family is scattered and paid for a thousand dollars, and he leaves a sword to answer Jun's grace......"
