The Queen of the Red Chamber is a little flustered

When the princes came to the Yu Palace, the fourth prince and concubine led the maidservants to pour tea and prepare refreshments, and then they left with smiles and salutes.

The smell of tea in the room is refreshing, and the atmosphere is not so bad after all.

The eldest prince took a sip from his teacup, and said, "Fourth and seventh, we brothers don't talk about each other. Brother really doesn't have that much cash." All his money was sent to the north to support the army. Have money to pay off debts.

The prince chuckled and said, "Brother is right."

"My brother also knows the difficulties of my brothers, but as sons, we must not make it difficult for our father." The fourth prince said earnestly.

Tu Mingjin glanced at the fourth prince indiscriminately, among other things, the fourth brother's ability to speak is indeed one of the best among brothers.

The fifth prince rolled his eyes in his heart.What he said so nicely, why didn't he return it first, as if he was the only fourth son who was the most filial to his father.Immediately shouted: "I heard that fourth brother also owes a lot, why didn't the slaves of Prince Yu's mansion take the money box to the household department?"

The corner of the fourth prince's mouth twitched, suppressing his anger.If he cares about this bastard like Lao Wu, he can handle it.

The sixth prince stared straight at the bird painted on the teacup, um, what kind of bird is this?

As for the debts, anyway, he doesn't owe much, and when someone comes up with this, he will pay back the money smoothly.

The Eighth Prince took a mouthful of snacks, choking so hard that he couldn't breathe.

Tu Minglang was speechless, he patted him on the back and handed him the water.

The eighth prince drank several glasses of water before he felt alive, and gave Tu Minglang a grateful look.

The prince looked at this scene, the corners of his mouth slightly turned up, and then he pressed down again as if thinking of something.

Tu Mingjin tapped the table with his finger, and said calmly: "The household department owes money, the courtiers, nobles and clan are the big ones, and there are not many of us brothers."

When the others heard this, they all nodded in agreement. Isn't Lao Qi so unkind.

Tu Mingjin looked at Tu Mingjin in surprise, Brother Seven, is he going to ask for money?

"However..." Tu Mingjin looked around at the brothers before saying, "Someone has to start the game. Among other things, four or fifty thousand taels of brothers can always come together. Brother A few will pay back part of it first, and then the younger brother and the fourth brother can go to outsiders to ask for it."

"That's right, the eldest brother and the second brother can always get this little money." Tu Minglang immediately said, "When the other people's money is recovered, Father will not lack us."

After speaking, he winked at several people.

Tu Mingjin nodded, indicating that he meant it.

The First Prince and the Crown Prince couldn't help thinking, if it's really just paying back this point, it's not a big deal, it's just what about those people under them.

The fifth prince was not very happy, and asked him to pay less money, but according to the behavior of the fourth and seventh children, he would definitely force the Zhen family to pay back the money, and if the Zhen family had less money, he would still benefit from it.

The fourth prince did not expect that Tu Mingjin would still play tricks.But the princes have evened the accounts, and those courtiers can't bear it, as long as they can get [-]% back, he has made a great contribution.

"What Lao Qi said is not unreasonable. In this way, we brothers will go back to the warehouse to look through it, and after a few days we will go to the account department to write off the account together." The brothers were together, and they happened to share the hatred, so the fourth prince asked, "What do you think? "

Tu Mingjin took advantage of the situation and said, "Not bad."

Needless to say, the matter is settled with the two of them cooperating like this.The First Prince and the Crown Prince curled their lips together, thinking that there is nothing they can't do if they want to combine the Fourth and Seventh Brothers together.

The sixth prince looked away from the cup, blinked his dry eyes, and said, "I'll open the warehouse when I get back."

The prince straightened his sleeves and said: "Okay, I will raise money when I go back alone, so as to save you from making another trip."

As soon as the words fell, the prince went straight away.

The eldest prince didn't stay any longer, and said before he left, "Let the Ministry of Households send someone to the palace, I'm too lazy to have someone send it."

The fifth prince wanted to speak, but he didn't know what to say, so he left angrily.

The sixth and eighth princes were not prepared to stay longer, so they bowed their hands and said goodbye.

Before Tu Mingjin and Tu Minglang left, the fourth prince said with a smile: "Thanks to the seventh younger brother today, I will need the help of the seventh younger brother in the future."

On the way back to Prince Duan's Mansion, Tu Minglang also said to Tu Mingjin, "The fourth brother is a thief, he didn't want to offend anyone, so he dragged it until Brother Seven came back, why should Brother Seven agree?"

Tu Mingjin smiled faintly, patted Tu Minglang on the shoulder and said, "When have you ever seen me do something I'm not sure about, don't worry."

Tu Minglang raised his eyebrows, "Seventh brother has a way? Let's not talk about the ministers, those clans and nobles are old lai, even if the brothers pay back the money, they will all ignore it, we can't come They went to the warehouse to rob."

Tu Mingjin smiled profoundly. It wasn't for nothing that he asked Xu Huaisheng to stare at people earlier.

Tu Minglang shuddered at his seventh brother's laughter, and immediately changed the subject: "Yonghao should be at home today."

Tu Mingjin let out a "hmm".

As soon as he arrived at Prince Duan's Mansion, Tu Minglang ran to the study in the front yard.He is very familiar with Seventh Brother's territory.

"Yonghao, I'll come for your ninth uncle." Before anyone entered the room, the voice came first.

Yong Hao sat upright on the stool and wrote big characters. When he heard Tu Minglang calling him, his eyes lit up immediately, he put down the brush, and turned his head to see Tu Minglang at the door.

He raised a big smile and called out, "Uncle Jiu."

Tu Minglang stepped forward, picked up Yonghao, weighed his hands together, and said with a smile: "Good boy, I haven't seen you for a while, and he is quite strong."

Yonghao's eyes narrowed, he obviously liked Tu Minglang's hugging and playing with him very much.Seeing Tu Mingjin standing at the door, he patted Tu Minglang with his small hands.

Tu Minglang coughed twice, put Yonghao down, straightened his clothes, turned to Tu Mingjin and said, "Seventh brother, how did you and Seventh sister-in-law raise children? I think Yonghao is stronger than those in the East Palace."

Sitting on a chair, Tu Mingjin waved for Yonghao to go over, and said, "Your sister-in-law has a good meal, and Yonghao is practicing martial arts with the guards."

Gu Qinyuan heard Fushun said that Tu Mingjin brought Tu Minglang back to the house, so she ordered Miwa: "The mung bean cold skin made in the kitchen, just take a few bowls first, the old nine likes spicy food, add a few spoonfuls of oil and spicy. "

Beeswa responded with a smile, and when she was about to leave, Gu Qinyuan called her back, "Please add less to the bowl of the prince, he can't eat too spicy, and so does Yonghao's."

"Yes."

In the pavilion, there were bowls of Liangpi in front of three men, two big, one small, and among them, Tu Minglang's bowl was especially tempting with red hot peppers poured on it.

Yonghao swallowed, his small eyes looked at Tu Minglang from time to time.

Tu Minglang finished eating in two or three bites, and then asked someone to serve another bowl. Seeing Yonghao's small appearance, he couldn't help laughing.

Tu Mingjin patted Yonghao's head and said, "You are young and have a weak spleen and stomach, so you can't eat too spicy."

Yong Hao nodded his head and said, "My son knows."

"If you want me to say, Seventh Brother is just worrying about it. I have loved this since I was a child. It's okay." Tu Minglang put a new bowl in front of Yonghao, "Hey, Uncle Ninth gave it to you. , if something goes wrong, Uncle Jiu will take care of it."

Tu Mingjin glared at him, and said to Su Qitai behind him, "Remove the one in front of your ninth master."

Tu Minglang looked at Tu Mingjin pitifully, but didn't get a look in response.

Su Qitai accompanied him with a smile and said, "Jiuye, it's time for dinner soon, and the concubine asked the kitchen to cook a lot of your favorite dishes."

Yonghao patted Tu Minglang's hand, and said, "Uncle Jiu, I won't eat anymore, I will have dinner with you later."

Good nephew!Tu Minglang shook his little hand back, his eyes were full of emotion.

At night, Gu Qinyuan didn't go back to the back room until Yonghao fell asleep.

"As soon as the ninth brother came, Yonghao became much more lively." Gu Qinyuan said.

The uncle and nephew played all afternoon, Yonghao was still very energetic at night, and fell asleep very late.

Tu Mingjin helped Gu Qinyuan to sit on the bed, the corners of his lips raised. Yonghao and Tu Minglang had a good relationship, and he was also very pleased.

"By the way." Gu Qinyuan looked at Tu Mingjin and asked, "How about collecting the arrears?"

"Prince, they all said that they would pay back part of it." Tu Mingjin said.

"Really? That's great." As long as the princes start, other people who want to pay back the money can start.Gu Qinyuan wondered whether she should communicate with the families she was close to.

Tu Mingjin didn't speak.Seeing that he was not in high spirits, Gu Qinyuan wondered, "It's a good thing to make progress, why are you still depressed?"

Tu Mingjin frowned slightly, and then said: "It's not difficult for the courtiers to pay back the money. The most important thing is to come up with the regulations, and no one can borrow money from the household department at will."

"What's the difficulty? When they come to borrow money again, let the household department set a deadline, otherwise the interest will be raised." Gu Qinyuan said.

In modern times, not to mention usury, people would not dare to delay repaying even the money from the bank.Of course, the actual situation is different, so let's not mention this.But in a feudal society, the emperor was already high above them all. As long as Emperor Tiansheng spoke, could they really be fooling around?

Tu Mingjin let out a long breath, and said, "It's not that simple." This time, he had already hurt his father's face by speaking this time, and there were quite a few gossips in the government and the opposition. If someone went to the imperial court again to cry, his father would still agree. No matter how harsh the conditions of the household department are, they can't stop them.

When Emperor Tiansheng was young, he was still an emperor with lofty ambitions, but now in his twilight years, what he pursued was a good reputation.

Gu Qinyuan stretched out her hand to caress Tu Mingjin's forehead, "Since I can't think of a good solution now, let's put it down first, the court's important matter should not be rushed."

Hearing what Gu Qinyuan said, Tu Mingjin's face softened, he took her hand and held it in his palm, and said softly: "Yuanyuan is right, she can always figure it out."

Tu Mingjin lowered his head, brought Gu Qinyuan into the bed, stroked her face with his fingers, looked at her, as if he wanted to look into her heart.

Gu Qinyuan blushed, put her hand on his chest, and said shyly, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

Tu Mingjin clung to her ear, and said in a low voice: "I went to the imperial hospital and asked, and it said that we can have intercourse in three months. Let's try this time." Having said that, Tu Mingjin couldn't help but feel hot.

Gu Qinyuan punched him with fists, she was going to die, and she actually asked someone this question!

Tu Mingjin lifted Gu Qinyuan's chin and kissed it, the cool thin lips were printed on Gu Qinyuan's mouth, making her body go soft.

"Easy." Gu Qinyuan panted.There are two little ones in the belly.

Tu Mingjin took a pillow and put it under Gu Qinyuan's waist, and said in a low voice, "I know."

After finishing speaking, both hands fell on Gu Qinyuan's chest, unbuttoned the clothes, and then smiled, "It's a lot."

Gu Qinyuan blushed, and said, "If you talk about it again, I'm going to sleep."

Tu Mingjin didn't speak now, but moved faster.
