Return to the Qing Dynasty (54)

The Fourth Master is a simple emperor. He will not do his birthday, birthday, or during the filial period, nor will he stop doing it in the past or two years. From now on, as long as he is in office, he will definitely not do it. Similarly, the Queen's birthday will not do it. The Queen's birthday is May thirteenth, and the Fourth Master's birthday is December thirteenth. Now these four children are born on October thirteenth, and this birthday will be saved in the future.

After Master Jiu heard the news, his first thought in his heart was that he could save a lot of gifts.

Don’t underestimate this expense. When the late emperor was here, he could not afford to pay tens of thousands of dollars to his father’s birthday gifts, and he couldn’t buy good things. But after thinking about it this way, he felt something was wrong and what was wrong? Right! He slapped his thighs and his business was affected. In the past, when it came to this festival, the prices of good things soared. No matter how much the price was, they only looked at the quality of the things. As long as the things were indeed taken out, they often came back after a few profits. Now that these two festivals have been cancelled, the business has not been affected at all.

I left the imperial study with a toothache that I felt sorry for Yinzi and went to Chengqing Hall. This is the home court today. It’s the Golden Festival, and everyone went into the yard to celebrate the festival with Wansui. The news that the queen gave birth to a lot of children had already flown into the hall one by one. This is because Wansui was not here. If it were here, they would not cry to show it to Wansui, and they would ask Wansui to see each other excitedly.

But even if Master Wansui was not here, Master Jiu looked at him, it was not much better. The generals were ready to say that this was a good omen. If anyone fights this year, we will definitely win. Master Jiu never knew that there were so many enemies in the Qing Dynasty who would not be honest without being beaten, and so many generals who would be idle without fighting. On the other hand, the civil servants gathered together to recite poems and write opposites, expressing their excitement, such as peace and prosperity for all generations, as if the world was better, it was not managed by Master Wansui, but was born by the queen and his family. As expected, he could not listen to these sour scholars.

"What's wrong?" Master Ten asked when he saw his toothache expression.

Master Jiu swallowed a mouthful of saliva from the sourness of the sourness, covered his cheeks, "Toothache!"

"Is it getting angry?" Master Ten smiled, "Brother Jiu, it's not me who said to you. You and my sister-in-law Jiu know that there is a lot of money. No matter how much money you have, can you be a son? Now I see a bunch of sons coming out. Is it getting angry? Is it a toothache? It's time!"

I said, which eye did you see that I was getting angry? My toothache was sore!

Getting angry?

A fire last?

I don’t lack sons, of course I don’t lack daughters! What do I have to be jealous? If you want to be jealous, you are jealous. Little Dexing, only two sons and one daughter are still showing off to me here. What do you think you are showing off?

The expression of Master Jiu was, and Master Ten understood it as soon as he saw it. He was immediately dissatisfied, "What's wrong with my child missing? Then he also has a legitimate son!"

Do you have it?

You don't!

You are the only one of your own daughters, and you are the ones who are raised by Jiusao, who only recognizes money. She teased her and said, "Call me, Ahma."

The daughter said, "Ten taels! Gold! No bargaining!"

Of course, this happened a few years ago. At that time, the child was only five or six years old. It was a fun time. He was the kind of people who only recognized money but not people. But he was so angry that he turned around and had a big fight with the mother of the bear daughter. They quarreled with them. The child only counted her money. If he liked to quarrel, he would quarrel, which was much more lively than paying for the opera outside. The key was that this was a big scene that was free and free.

One time, Master Ten ran into him and hugged his niece to come up with an idea, "If you sell tickets at the door and ask someone to see you, Ama's quarrel, that's fine."

The child directly slapped him: "Ten taels! Just silver."

Master Shi was stunned for a long time before he realized that the naughty child said that he had read it and it was time to make up the ticket. After all, he untied the purse on her body before he beat the person. He was also joked in his early years, but later when the girl grew up, he didn't dare to say it. In the future, who would dare to have such a girl?

Anyway, I told Master Shi that Brother Jiu has lived a pretty coke life these days.

Just as if he couldn't see the ninth master's face, the tenth master said to him, "Count on, among us brothers, except for the older brother and second brother, who has no legitimate son now? The third brother has, and the fourth brother, and the fifth brother also has a son in old age. The fifth sister-in-law has been successful and gave birth to a fat boy..."

The fifth master was not far away, and I felt a little unhappy when I heard this. It was a pleasure for my wife to give birth to a legitimate son, but what does it mean to be 'going old and have a son'? My son is only a little older. When I raise him, I have to marry a wife. My grandson, I have to hold my grandson. What old? My grandson, I am not old at all! The tenth brother is so hard to speak.

I don’t know if I feel that the tenth master of his fifth brother was not aware of it at all. Let’s continue to talk to his ninth brother, “…Seventh sister-in-law has a daughter but no son. I didn’t see that the seventh brother is now so naughty. Maybe why are you being squeezed by the seventh sister-in-law at home? I’m so pitiful, I’m almost dead…”

The corners of his mouth were twitching from the side. This old man was irreparable. I was exhausted by a woman? I was tired of staying up all night. I felt that this was a peaceful and prosperous era, but the people who were secretly doing things knew that there were so many groups of people who had never stopped. He was working hard to become such virtues. It seemed as if I had put a lot of effort on your seventh sister-in-law. You will know when you saw your seventh sister-in-law. The resentful eyes made everyone look ugly.

After offending the fifth master and the seventh master, the tenth master, who offended the seventh master, still didn't notice it. The ninth master looked at the two brothers around and grinned and did not remind the two guys, saying that he had no legitimate son. If you say it, he would listen vigorously. Let's watch it again after it's over.

The Tenth Master didn't understand what his ninth brother was laughing at at all. He thought it was the thing that Xiaoqi Master was suppressed by his wife. He smiled obscenely, but he was the brother who did secret chores, so he was afraid that he would be humble behind his back, so he didn't dare to say anything else and went backwards: "Let's talk about the starry brother, look at the eighth sister-in-law, he is both a witch and a genius, and he has never stopped begging for a child."

The Eighth Master swallowed the wine in his mouth and slapped him into Lao Shi's mouth. My wife is a child-loving man, but what? I don't deny this, but there is a genius there? You must explain this to me clearly. Some things are more or less, but some words must not be said casually. This means it will be different immediately. My wife is asking for a genius to be a child? Isn't the genius also a genius? Who said that there is a lust on the head? I can't suppress my temper and almost slap it over. Thinking about it, few people heard it, and no one knew it. It would be bad to hit it, and maybe many people know it. The Eighth Master understood the truth that three people became tigers. So I was so embarrassed that I was almost vomiting blood in my heart, and I had to look calm and light as if I didn't listen to anything. But don't worry, Lao Shi, let's take a look.

Master Jiu interrupted Master Shi with a very conscience, "Okay, but let's be told again."

Where is it?

"Don't be inferior, Brother Jiu." The Tenth Master did not accept the signal given to him by Brother Jiu at all. His eyes looked at Master Jiu with a bit of compassion.

Jiu Ye thought to myself that I just owed my mouth, so I didn’t dare to stop the bastard. My mother’s few words can offend everyone, and it is also a skill.

The Tenth Master really responded to the Ninth Master's idea and never returned on the road to offending people. He said to the Eighth Master, the Ninth Master was listening. He was the Tenth Master, and he was gone early on the 11th. It was time to come down. There was no way. There were too many brothers, so I couldn't figure it out without using my fingers.

What happened to Twelve?

Master Ten sighed, "It's better if he doesn't say Twelve." He died one after another, and I don't know what happened. I'm lucky.

Twelve laughed in his heart, why can't they say it? Is it because they can't say it about their children's misfortune, or is it better not to mention this person if you don't like him. Sitting here is so uncomfortable that you feel so uncomfortable.

When Master Jiu heard Lao Shi say this, he wanted to stop him or not. The words he said were hard to stop. He looked at Twelve with a look of alert. The other brothers had played and made a fuss and passed by. Even if they were found, it would be a harmless joke, but Lao Shi called him a little uncertain. Anyway, Lao Shi was his brother, dear! He always recognized her as a brother in this life, and he could bully Lao Shi to death, but if others wanted to bully Lao Shi, they had to ask themselves whether the Jiu Ge agreed or not.

Lao Shi drank some wine, and you didn’t have the conscious awareness of being missed by others. When he looked at the back, he saw that Thirteen was not there, and he muttered, “Thirteen is now more and more synchronized with the Fourth Brother, and he learns everything from the Fourth Brother. In the past two years, Thirteen’s brother and sister have been reborn all the time. It’s really hard for him to be honest. Long lively’s flattery is hard to slap…”

Thirteen came over the side door and was about to go around the seat when he heard this sentence. Why did I flatter Mr. Wansui? You didn't even slap him? I think I was a slap him, but why can't I see that I was tired all day long and as if I was three grandsons. I didn't see that Mr. Wansui was seven or eight years older than me. Now I look like I am seven or eight years older than Mr. Wansui. Thirteen, who was so handsome back then, had gray hair, right? Isn't this trouble of flattering to be a virtue?

The Tenth Master was very addicted to Jiangshan. He took the wine handed over by Master Jiu and muttered, "Brother Jiu, you are bad, you know how to get me." As he said that, he had drunk it.

Good intentions are not rewarded! You have offended so many people, can you go out without getting drunk? Wait for a group fight - what about you.

The Tenth Master burped and continued to talk about him. Who are you talking about? He said, "You said, "You are the Fourteenth, the Fourteenth, the Fourteenth, is nothing better than marrying a good wife. He was born two legitimate sons when he entered the door. But the other person was not rude. It was good to take care of the concubine's son and daughter. This was not the most important thing. The most important thing was that they were willing to go out and deal with the men. He offended people outside. Once his wife came out to cure him, he would say how many times his wife had run away. My brothers would not have such a blessing. Is it because my sister-in-law was willing to run for you, or is my unlucky woman willing to run for me? In this way, the fourteenth brother and sister are really good. To give to the fourteenth, it would be such a waste of such a person."

Shisi got up and gave up his seat to Shisan. He smiled and pulled Shisan back and said before he could say anything, he heard the sound from the side. He also said such words. They were all praising people, and it was good to praise my wife. Should I be happy? Happy grandma! Tell me, why did I waste my wife in vain? I said that you use this contrast method to listen smoothly.

Master Jiu glared at Shisi's eyes and quickly pulled Lao Shi out, "Okay, let's keep some good deeds."

The Tenth Master had no intention of talking about it. The younger brother below was still young and had a legitimate son, but he was still young anyway. He was not in a hurry. He held the Jiu Ye's hand, "So, don't argue with Jiu Ye anymore. Anyway, you can't argue with Jiu Ye. In the past, you were the one who made money to support the family. Now who you raises whom? Now you have to count on Jiu Ye for dinner. Be honest and obedient, put all the concubines aside, and satisfy your service to Jiu Ye, your business is easy to do, right?"

Jiu Ye's face turned completely black, so he shouldn't care about this bear thing.

When he let go, the Tenth Master stood sideways and carried the center of gravity on his seat, which was not stable on the edge of the stool, and he fell directly. He sat on the ground and reached out to grab the Eight Master on the other side. Eight Master flashed and refused to ask you to hide, and then lay down completely with all his legs and legs.

Lying on the ground and sweeping around, everyone's eyes seemed a little unkind. Later, they realized that reason was regained. The excitement passed, and they understood what they had said.

Is this...heard all?

Sure yes!

This is a little bit of back. It’s said that not to mention people behind the back, this is really true. Everyone is not young anymore, so why are they still not old and dizzy? Why are their ears so awesome?

He raised his head and was about to get up, but when he saw that the situation was wrong, he finally understood the meaning of Jiu Ge's drinking. He tilted his head and lay on the ground, leaning all over and over, muttering: "I'm so dizzy! Why are I so dizzy? I'm drunk! I'm so drunk!"

A scoundrel!

Prince Zhi is the kind of person who watches the fun without much trouble, and is very kind. "How can you get drunk on a happy day? Hurry up and sober up. Lao Si, you are the youngest, why don't you go over and help..."

The second prince immediately took the matter, "When I came in, I saw that the koi carp in the Fengshui tank at the door was good. The water in the tank was not frozen. Isn't it cold? Take your tenth brother to try..."

The Tenth Master sat up as soon as he heard this. If he continued to make trouble, he would not have to go half his life. Didn’t he just ask me to have a few beatings? He sat up and wiped his face, “Hey? Why do you look at me? What happened to me just now? Brother Jiu, do you know? It seems that you can’t drink too much wine.”

Shameless!

The Fourth Master of the Golden Eve Festival did not show up, and everyone knew that they were happy to guard their new son and daughter. No one had to attract people to go out. Let’s just have fun together. For example, everyone took turns to give the Ten Master a lot of energy, and they fell to the ground and swelled their noses and faces, but they could laugh for a year if they couldn’t get up. It was great! The atmosphere of the Golden Eve Festival... was very good in all aspects.

Of course, there are those who feel uncomfortable, such as Hongli, but now he doesn't care about it because the money has not been collected yet. Now, the Ministry of Revenue has put pressure on it, so I dare not say that those who are delaying the burden will not pay back the money. The fourth master did not ask for a special payment of the debts during the late emperor period. What should I do? Anyone who is owed the money but not paid back the money will be all cancelled. For example, after the examination, the family's land will not be paid. This

No, I have to pay it. If this is not what they can't raise their heads in the countryside, there are even more ruthless things. What? Everyone wants to be an official and just want to be a wife and a wife? The edicts to my mother and wife are temporarily taken back. When will the money be paid back, and when will the money be paid back? And your son, is it necessary to take the imperial examination? OK! Wait until your father gets all the money before coming, this subject is not enough, the next subject. If this is not enough to ask them to pay back the money, that's it

The annoyance will be even greater. Where have you spent so much money? Those anti-corruption little brothers are idle. It doesn’t matter if they really don’t have money. Let’s check your account. There are real difficulties. We can pay it back in installments. But if you want to be deadbeat, then you’re sorry. These little brothers generally don’t understand what kind of favors are. They have to check you out. Even if you don’t accept bribes at work, there will be bribes, otherwise where will the money go? If you don’t even have bribes, you will have bribes.

, that must be a waste. It depends on whether you have more wife and whether there are any places that exceed the rules. Anyway, as long as you want to check, you can find any problem. Sorry, your official position is over, your property is mortgaged and the bank will still have debts, and there may be a prison disaster. After three tricks, the debt will be 66 in the past two years, and the debt will be returned. There is still a part left, some people are dead. People will lose their debts, and this is also impossible.

After seeing the difficulty of collecting the debts in his later years, Hongli knew even more about how skillful the emperor was now. After seeing it, he knew that the money he owed was really unpaid. If he didn't pay it back, it was very likely that he would have no errands to work hard in the near future.

But where did I find money? I still owe 700,000 to 800,000 taels.

This little money cannot be solved. The queen has three legitimate sons, and she still wants to solve it. It's just a dream. For him now, the throne and other things are too far away. It's useless to worry about it now. It's more realistic. Where can I go to exchange for money?

Hongzhou was a dragon who was so scared that he could not see his tail. Besides, how much money could he be worth a child? He wanted to stop him and asked, but the boy was drunk and carried away, so he couldn't ask.

What about Hongshi?

It seemed that in order to borrow money from him, the couple even fought. It was said that Hongshi had lent all the money that could be moved to him at home. This made him blush, and this brother was indeed honest enough.

And... The Queen Mother? No! The Emperor Ahma knew that he had to chop herself up.

Then there is the Emperor's Mother. If I go to the Emperor's Mother, I will definitely borrow it. But now I have just given birth? Going back will only anger the Emperor.

Who else? The concubine had already received 100,000 yuan, and even Gao and Fucha had received 20,000 taels each. A few concubines, one of whom and two thousand could make up more than 10,000 taels. Now the only ones that can be found are Emoji and Geng's mother.

Geng’s mom is recuperating. It’s better if his mom doesn’t say anything about it.

Just as I was walking away, I heard light footsteps coming from behind, "Fourth Prince."

Hongli turned around and saw Dong Xiaowan chasing her indigo-green cloak, "It's Miss Dong, is there something wrong?"

Dong Xiaowan smiled and handed over a box, "The Empress woke up just now and asked me to hand this over to the Fourth Prince."

Hongli was stunned and took it involuntarily. He was about to ask what it was, but the girl turned around and ran away.

What?

Hongli opened it directly, and there were 200,000 taels of silver notes inside. "This..." He was completely stunned. He never expected that at this time, the emperor's mother would send him so much money. It was fake to say that he was not moved. He also figured out how much money he had. In the early years, he was in the mansion, so Ama was not allowed to accept gifts from this and that. Later, he ascended the throne and did not hold the Qianqiu Festival. Where did the emperor's mother receive gifts? In the early years, the dowry rolled down year by year, and the amount of 200,000 to 300,000 taels was the limit. When he had given birth to these younger brothers and sisters, he paid all his family to himself. He thought that it was a show, but the other person did not do it, but gave it to himself behind his back. No one knew except himself and Dong Xiaowan. The premise for making a show no longer exists.

The emperor is actually a soft-hearted person.

Soft heart?

Lin Yutong slept again with her eyes narrowed and thought before she fell asleep, but she felt soft-hearted. The money was part of the secretly copied back from the two corrupt officials. She didn't pay the 200,000 taels, and no one said anything, but without the 200,000 taels, Hongli would not have thought about squeezing Niuhulu's house cleanly.

Humph! Niu Hulu, the most active person among the people who jumped around when she was pregnant. Nian was locked up and her parents were convicted again, so it was not so convenient for her to use human resources. Whoever took her as a shield in front of her? No one except Niu Hulu. Li didn't get involved. I heard that she was worshiping Buddha and praying to God. I despised my daughter-in-law Dong E for not getting pregnant. Geng was recuperating, but in fact he was just avoiding Hongli. I guess he was also suspected of avoiding Niu Hulu's troubles. Anyway, he didn't leave the door for several months. Other concubines who didn't even have a son. It looked very lively. No one supported them to support them. Do they dare to make trouble?

I'm really lazy to worry about her. Your unlucky son can kill you half of your life.',

The 200,000 taels of silver will eventually be included in the treasury, and it will not be a loss to Hongli. Just think that someone will torture Niuhulu, the price is appropriate!

I fell asleep and woke up, and I don’t know what night it was.

"I slept for a day and a night." The Fourth Master held the child in his arms and whispered to Bi Tao and others who were serving outside, "Give food to your master and empress."
To be continued...
