My father-in-law is Kangxi

Chapter 1024 Dip in the Light
South three principal houses.

Watching Si Fujin eat the green apricot mouthful, Si elder brother felt that his teeth were going to be sour.

Seeing this, Si Fujin handed over the melon plate and said, "Master, eat this."

The fourth elder brother glanced at the clock, got up and said: "Don't eat..."

Si Fujin expressed regret, and said: "I thought Brother Jiu would put 'Century-year-old wine' over there. Now that I am treating guests, the Centenary-year-old wine should not be served."

The three children's [-]th birthday is at the beginning of June, and it's only half a month away, and the wine is too crowded, which is not comfortable, so Si Fujin said so.

The fourth elder brother said: "It's better to wait until the 'catch week'."

It is auspicious and unlucky, and it is deceived, but before the child is vaccinated, it is good to see few people.

In addition to smallpox, there are also epidemics.

Although there is no pox in the capital now, if you have bad intentions, it is not easy to guard against the mess.

Even though he was invited to go, as an elder brother, he couldn't go there empty-handed.

The fourth elder brother asked someone to prepare two boxes of Korean ginseng and two boxes of Codonopsis ginseng, which can be used for daily nourishment.

After leaving the gate of the third school in the south, and seeing the closed door of the second school next to it, the fourth brother frowned slightly.

This……

The eighth brother should be embarrassed today, the brothers were all invited, even the two younger brothers, the thirteenth elder brother and the fourteenth elder brother, were not left behind, only the eighth elder brother was left aside.

But the step by step progress between the two brothers is due to everyone's watching, and they don't blame Brother Jiu for being cold-hearted. That slave is presumptuous, which is also the reason for Brother Eight's inaction.

Before the change, the fourth elder brother definitely wanted to mediate one or two, but now he doesn't want to be troublesome.

Yuqing Palace is high above, but when the prince and elder brother are neglected, the princess concubine has to come forward in person and take the real Zhuang Zi and the shop to make amends; I won't mention it any more.

Or maybe that's why he didn't formally apologize.

The fourth elder brother was thoughtful.

He has been in the six departments for ten years, and he has seen the case files of the criminal department and various account books of the household department, so he knows the importance of money.

In the files of the Ministry of Punishment, half of them were murdered for money.

Old Ba learned the lesson from before, and lost a village and a shop, probably because he was afraid and didn't want to suffer any more losses, so he tried to wait for the time to change, but it was a small loss.

If the eighth elder brother can sincerely apologize after the matter of the Yaqibu couple came out in early March, he is also one of the guests today, and he will definitely get much more than what he paid out.

When the elder brother came out, he saw the fourth elder brother standing in a daze at the door of the third school, and greeted him: "Wait for you? Let's go..."

The fourth elder brother nodded, and followed the elder brother to Changchun Garden.

The distance here is not too close to the North Fifth Institute. It is nearly three miles around half of the Changchun Garden.

The eunuch behind the elder brother, like Su Peisheng, was carrying a basket containing two boxes of sea cucumbers and two boxes of isinglass.

"If Lao Jiu doesn't treat guests, I'm going to send someone over to ask my younger siblings for some food. I've had a bad taste in my mouth these days, so I want to eat spicy food. You think it's weird. According to the recipe, the ingredients are the same. Well, what the master's cook makes is dry and spicy, and the tongue is burnt and it's not delicious. If you eat it at Lao Jiu's side, it's a different taste..."

Big brother said.

The fourth elder brother glanced at the red pimple on his face, and said: "Brother has facial sores right now, the imperial doctor didn't make it a taboo?"

The elder brother said disapprovingly: "I let it go, and I also prescribed Qingfei Drink. What is Fei doing? It's not a woman, it's just hot and stuffy. Get up in summer every year, and it will be fine in autumn."

Now that he knew it well, the fourth elder brother stopped talking and said: "My brother has been using facial cleansing soap for the past few days, it looks good, and he can wash his face well. Yes, brother can send someone to buy some."

The eldest elder brother glanced at the fourth elder brother, and said with disgust: "Who still uses that to wash his face? Don't be misled by the old nine, and you can also smell the fragrance all over your body!"

Fourth elder brother: "..."

I don't really want to talk to him.

Poor widower!
Life is rough!
After the eldest brother finished speaking, he moved his nose. It didn't have the smell of flowers, but it smelled like mint.

"Huh? It's not bad, it's like mosquito coils. When you come back from dinner, you can give me some first. You can use it. This is more suitable for us. It's more suitable for us to apply gouache and rouge on weekdays. It should be able to use this." Clean up..."

Brother Si nodded and said, "Okay, it's just that there are no new ones, so I'll cut half a piece for you and try to use it."

The two brothers were talking, passed the gate of the Great Palace, continued to walk east, and walked north to the corridor outside the garden.

At the entrance of the North Second Institute, the seventh elder brother who had just come out was blocked by the third elder brother.

"Lao Qi, today's banquet is not just about repaying money. At the housewarming banquet last year, Lao Jiu said that he would share the profits with our brothers..."

As he said that, the third elder brother lowered his volume and said, "How is this divided? How about we ask Lao Jiu in private first, so as to avoid confusion at the table?"

The seventh elder brother looked at the third elder brother, and said: "Just pay back the money, and the rest is optional."

The third elder brother looked at the seventh elder brother with some doubts.

The big guy's family money is 23 taels, right?

Didn't Khan Ama secretly subsidize the supplements for others?
How come everyone regards money as dung?

He looked at Brother Qi and said, "I went to the Eight Banners Department of the Ministry of Households this morning to check. From the Gold Awarding Festival last year to the Dragon Boat Festival this year, there were hundreds of thousands of acres of land transactions in Xiaotangshan, involving more than 200 million taels of money. , This profit has doubled!"

The seventh elder brother was as calm as water, watching the third elder brother without speaking.

The movement of Xiaotangshan was recorded by Luan Yiwei.

The third elder brother was terrified, cleared his throat and said: "I'm not trying to calculate anything, but I'm thinking about the arrogance that Lao Jiu said before, so it shouldn't treat us badly, the money is put out in the bank, and there is still a three-point profit , Calculated from the end of September last year, it has been eight months, and based on three-point interest, it is also [-]%..."

It's [-]%, which is cheaper than Laojiu!

But the third elder brother was really afraid that the ninth elder brother would only give everyone half or [-]% of the profit because of his young age and shamelessness, so he thought about how to "remind" the ninth elder brother, at least according to this amount.

In that case, my profit would be 6000 taels of silver!
Hearing this, Brother Qi frowned and said, "Three points, that's usury!"

This is already the maximum interest allowed by the law. If it exceeds this, the lender will be held accountable.

Lending money to my brother, and then collecting interest according to the interest of usury, what did the third elder brother think, this brain was trapped by the door?

The third elder brother said: "But this cowhide was blown out by Lao Jiu, it's not much, the big head is reserved for Lao Jiu, he must not eat meat, we can't even drink broth, right?"

Brother Seven didn't want tonight's dinner to become a farce. Although the brothers don't live in the same yard, it's uncomfortable to see those who look up and look down.

He kindly returned, pointed to the direction of Qingxi Bookstore, and said: "There are elders up there."

How much Lao Jiu is willing to give is Lao Jiu's business. If Lao Jiu is not willing to give it, and insists on raising the interest, it will be disgusting, and the third elder brother will be reprimanded at that time.

The third elder brother felt a little helpless, and said: "I have nothing to do. First, the Ma family is involved in the matter of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Now there is still a lot of shortfall. Waiting to borrow money from me, it is Lao Jiu who is not right now. points, I also want to open my mouth to raise difficulties."

Brother Seven didn't answer.

If that's the case, Brother San will still be punished.

Where is the younger brother, or the niece?
In the eyes of the emperor's father, there is no distinction between the inside and the outside.

Seventh elder brother kept silent.

I mentioned it twice before, but the third prince didn't listen at all.

It happened that the elder brother and the fourth elder brother turned around from the intersection and heard the second half of the sentence.

The eldest elder brother looked at the third elder brother, and said: "What's wrong with you, I want to mention it to Lao Jiu, are you the elder brother, or is he the elder brother?"

The third elder brother was trained by the eldest elder brother for a while two days ago, and he knew that he was also an uneconomical man.

He said: "It's nothing, that is to say, the Ma family, the head of the family was sent a message by the Punishment Department again yesterday, and I don't know where to mend the hole..."

Before, only the third elder brother and the seventh elder brother were talking here, and they were not very conspicuous. Now that there are four more masters and servants than before, some people are looking sideways.

The guards at the gate of the North Garden all looked this way.

The elder brother said: "Stop sticking around outside, it's almost time!"

Seventh elder brother had no objection, but turned around to look in the yard.

It turned out that he was also called a eunuch before, and he was not empty-handed, holding a brocade box, which contained two boxes of swiftlets and two boxes of snow clams prepared by Qi Fujin.

In the next year, you don't have to think too much about giving a gift to the Ninth Prince's Mansion, the supplements and medicinal materials will definitely be right.

The third elder brother realized that something was wrong.

Everyone brought a gift!
Isn't this too extravagant? !

Can't you eat a meal at your brother's house?

But at such an advanced age, he also knows the principle of following the crowd, so he hurriedly said: "Go ahead, I still have this thing at home..."

As he said that, he turned around and hurriedly turned his head back.

In the main room, Sanfujin is having his luck on his head.

Is this my sister?
Is this a living enemy?
It's really like putting on a posture of never getting in touch with each other, and sending fish in the morning has no part for me.

Later, he distributed melons everywhere, and he didn't have his own share.

There are no outside guests at the five institutes today, shouldn't it be the right time to invite her sister, too, busy with taking care of things?
Sanfujin simply lost his temper.

"Dengdengdengdeng..."

With the sound of hurried footsteps, the third elder brother came in, and hurriedly said: "Didn't the wife give you two boxes of bird's nest a while ago? Where are they? Quickly ask someone to pack them up, I want to use them!"

Sanfujin was surprised and said: "It's getting late, where are you going? Isn't the fifth school opening soon?"

The third elder brother urged: "What are you talking about? Hurry up! Where can I go, everyone else has carried things, so I am so embarrassed to go there empty-handed? You are really too, don't want to remind me!"

Sanfujin was unhappy, and said: "What are you heretics? It's not someone else's house. My mother-in-law gave me this bird's nest, and I still want to eat it..."

The third elder brother glanced at the clock, seeing that it was about to arrive at the beginning of the year, he hurriedly said: "I will give you the money, don't dawdle, hurry up..."

San Fujin listened, got up and ordered the girl to fetch it, then pulled Yu Linglong from the third elder brother's waist, and said: "40 taels of silver, take this first..."

The third elder brother pointed at San Fujin, stomped his feet angrily, and said, "How can I still rely on you for 40 taels of silver?"

Sanfujin didn't answer, put Linglong Ball in the drawer and locked it...

*
North Five, the front room, and the east room.

"Haha! Daxing's watermelons have arrived half a car today, and they are all in the dining room. My brothers have eaten all of them, and the watermelon juice I ordered..."

The fourteenth elder brother triumphantly expressed his credit to his brothers, he almost had his hands on his hips...
