Jiu Gege heard Bu Xi talk about "clearing accounts".
Bu Xi said: "Madam acted in a confused way and almost offended her relatives."
Jiu Gege didn't comment on her mother-in-law, but was a little worried and said: "Looking back, my father-in-law, do you want to tell the father-in-law and see if there are still accounts from other shops on the account."
This year, due to the pox epidemic, families like Baylor Mansion are likely to be late in collecting their bills, not just one or two.
If you are from a wealthy family, it's just a small amount of money. If you are from a small family, it will be difficult to celebrate the New Year.
After Bu Xi heard this, he immediately became alert.
He was worried that someone would fool him and really take advantage of others.
If he is found out when the time comes, it will bring shame to the entire Tong family.
Of the two sons of the Tong family, only one is left now.
Although the emperor is nostalgic for the past, he must also be on guard against criticism from villains.
Bu Xi said: "Then I will go to the palace and talk to Amma about this matter."
After Bu Xi finished speaking, he left in a hurry.
There is still a worried look on Jiu Gege's face, but she is not worried about the reputation of the Tong family, but worried that there are many people like the father-in-law.
It is obvious that the person who owes a debt has not paid back the debt, but he insists on using strong words to find fault with the day when someone comes to settle the debt.
If you find an opportunity, you will slander someone, as if you can only appear innocent if you prove that the other party is unworthy.
Jiu Gege thought for a while, then called Shi, the head of Princess Mansion, and said: "Tomorrow, arrange for the accountant to go out and clear the accounts. The accounts of the shops under the Princess Mansion will also be cleared years ago."
Chang Shi was puzzled after hearing this, tomorrow is the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month, and the next day is Xiaonian. Should the accounts be settled at this time?
However, he didn't hesitate, he agreed honestly, and went to the front accounting room to arrange manpower.
This debt settlement cannot be postponed past New Year's Eve, but it would be taboo to come to collect debts on New Year's Day.
After calculating this, there are only eight days left.
When he got to the front, he inquired carefully and found out the purpose of the princess's instructions.
The princess is cooperating with Jiubele Mansion's settlement of accounts and sharing Jiubele Mansion's slander.
Jiu Beile is not the princess's brother, but the princess is as close to Jiu Fujin as her sister-in-law.
What surprised Chang Shi was that the families who started to clear their accounts the next day were not only the Princess's Palace, but also the Zhijun Prince's Palace, Chengjun Prince's Palace, Sibeile Palace, and Wubeile Palace.
In the Zhijun Prince's Mansion, Sibeile Mansion and Wubeile Mansion, several princes got the news and made the decision directly.
They think the same thing as Jiu Gege. They feel that "the law does not punish everyone" and if everyone settles their accounts, it will make Jiu Age less annoying and less slandered.
People's words are scary.
Brother Ninth is young, doesn't think well, and doesn't care about offending others. They are older brothers and have experienced a lot, so they help make up for it.
Even those clans in Zhenglan Banner whose accounts have been settled can feel calmer knowing that other families are treated the same way.
Here at Chengjun Prince's Mansion, Third Prince's thoughts were different from others. The first thing he thought was that he had been negligent.
Even Brother Jiu could think that this debt would easily go bad if it dragged on for a long time. Why didn't he think of it?
Just go ahead and ask for it to avoid having bad debts later in the year.
Not only did he clear the palace's accounts, he also went to Sanfujin to sort out the backlog of accounts under her property.
Just take advantage of the east wind and take advantage of this wind to smooth out all the previous bad debts.
There was no movement at Dunjun Prince's Mansion and Qibele Mansion.
Prince Palace Chief Shi was a little confused, so he specifically asked Brother Ten to see him and said, "Master Ten, if there is such a big commotion outside, it will definitely alarm the people in front of you. You and Master Nine have always been good friends, why don't you follow the crowd at this time?"
When it comes to having a good relationship with Jiu Beile, no one can surpass his own prince.
The tenth elder brother said: "It doesn't have to be like this. Every family has its own business. No matter how good the ninth brother and I are, we are not the same person."
Moreover, the Khan Amma in the palace may not be happy for his sons to follow the crowd.
As long as he and Brother Jiu are aware of their brotherly relationship, they don't need to do anything to show it to others.
In the case of Qi Age, Qi Fujin found Qi Age.
"Others are elder brothers, and I am also an elder brother..."
It doesn't take much effort, it's just an order, why not do it?
Qifu Jin is puzzled.
The seventh elder brother and the ninth elder brother had no personal relationship, but there was no quarrel between them, and he and Shu Shu were on good terms.
The seventh elder brother glanced at Qi Fujin and said: "In my position, it is not appropriate to have too close relationships with other people. If Fujin wants to help, he can ask someone to collect the account of your property..."
After hearing this, Qi Fujin could only smile bitterly: "Why would you say such a thing? Now that I have made a decision, what else can I do besides live with my husband and my wife?"
Let others see that the Qibele Mansion couple is not getting along?
What qualifications do you have to mess with Brother Seventh?
Besides, if no one came forward to help Jiu Beile Mansion, it would be okay for her to force her to do it, which would be a "help in times of need", which would have some meaning; now Jiu Beile Mansion has no shortage of people to help, and their family is not short of "the icing on the cake".
Brother Seven was silent for a long time.
"I heard that Brother Ninth wants to set up a study room to teach several children. It will be warm next year, so why don't we hire a female teacher for Sangege? Sangege will be five years old next year, and it's time for her to become enlightened."
Qi Fujin shifted his attention and said: "Besides everything else, you must learn Mandarin and Mongolian carefully. When you grow up, you will have to go to the palace to pay respects to the Queen Mother and the nobles..."

Here at Babeile Mansion, Brother Ba was a little hesitant when he heard about the commotion in various mansions.
If you follow the example of other elder brothers' families, you will offend your clan members and nobles.
But if you don't follow the example of other brothers, it will appear unfriendly, and it will violate the emperor's father's taboo.
After hesitation, he made a decision, which was to follow the crowd.
So, the people who went out to settle accounts also added Babeile Mansion.
It's just that the eighth elder brother gave the order, and the clan members ignored it and only cleared other families.
This is because we know that the lives of some clan members are very tight, and if they really have to go over to settle their accounts, they may not have enough money to celebrate the New Year.
Babeile Mansion is half moved.
The news from the palace was received a step late.
The twelfth elder brother, the thirteenth elder brother, and the ninth elder brother are all close, but they have no property, and they can't shamelessly comment on the wife's dowry property, so they can only regret that they can't help.
On the day of Xiaonian, Kangxi had lunch, met Zhao Chang again, and learned about the follow-up of Jiubele Mansion's debt settlement.
A total of eight prince mansions were divided outside, and five were moved. Unexpectedly, Brother Jiu was quite popular.
The Babele Mansion seemed to be moving, but it seemed not to be moving, and Kangxi was not surprised.
The seventh elder brother's choice was also within Kangxi's expectation.
But the tenth prince...
Kangxi looked at it and was silent for a while.
He had long seen that the Ninth Prince and the Tenth Prince were getting along with each other, and it seemed that the Ninth Prince was the leader, but it was the Tenth Prince who really had the idea.
Sometimes the tenth elder brother agrees with the ninth elder brother, but that's just because he wants to agree with him, and he doesn't really follow everything.
The arrogance of the son of a noble concubine is engraved in the bones of the tenth prince.
Except for the ninth elder brother, he is not close to any other brothers, and this is also the reason.
Kangxi lowered his eyes.
As my son grows older, he has his own plans.
How many people value family ties as highly as Brother Jiu?
How many of them are deliberately showing off to show themselves, Khan Amma?
If you want brothers and sisters to be respectful to you, they will behave like brothers and friends to be respectful to you.
This is using Brother Jiu as a sign to show that he is a good brother.
If you can fool yourself once, can you fool yourself a few times...

Go to the study room.
The fourteenth elder brother was talking to Prince Ping.
One is fifteen and the other is thirteen. They are next to each other in age. After two years of getting along, they have become very close.
The fourteenth elder brother had two new people around him, and the news was unusual. Prince Ping was unorganized, and the servants and eunuchs in the two offices were also willing to ask for rewards, so they told Prince Ping about the news from outside.
"Uncle Ninth is so awesome, he doesn't give anyone any face..."
King Pingjun sighed.
Brother Fourteen curled his lips.
Is this confidence, or is it just having no desire and being strong?
Anyone who can master the civil and military skills will not break the jar like this.
"But I didn't expect that the other princes' and princesses' mansions would follow suit. When people outside mentioned this, some people praised it. They all said that the uncles have a good relationship..." Prince Ping said.
His brother died young, he has a cousin with whom he is not very close, and he has a posthumous sister whom he has not met yet.
However, he had been studying in the study for two years and felt that the royal family was very humane. The fourteenth elder brother always took care of the fifteenth elder brother and the sixteenth elder brother.
The fifteenth elder brother and the sixteenth elder brother are also close brothers.
As for the youngest Seventeenth Brother, he received unanimous care from everyone because he was the youngest.
The fourteenth elder brother said: "You are too honest. You don't know that when you grow up, you have many thoughts. You said that the fifth brother protects the ninth brother's letter. What relationship do the remaining elders have with the ninth brother?
I'm just pretending to be a good person and showing it to the emperor."
Prince Ping hesitated and said, "Not necessarily. Prince Zhi is the eldest son of the emperor. I heard that he always takes care of the prince below him."
The fourteenth elder brother snorted softly and said: "How can he be the eldest son of the emperor? With the genealogy of the eldest son and eldest brother, there is no need to worry too much, but really who has seen him really take care of him? But with the
This time it seems like it’s just a favor.”
Regarding the third elder brother, Prince Ping did not say anything about it.
That person has never been sincere.
This time I followed the trend of debt collection and cleared up the bad debts that had accumulated over the years, which were all dead debts.
The so-called bad debt means that the other party really cannot pay it back.
Third Brother didn't do anything else here. He just took over other people's houses and rented them to the debtors.
For this reason, the center of rumors outside is now moving from Jiubele Mansion to Prince Cheng County Mansion.
"What about the fourth uncle? The fourth uncle also behaves like an eldest brother..." Prince Ping asked.
Brother Fourteen sneered and pointed at himself.
"I haven't seen him care about my brother. How can he care about others? It's just a pretense, just to show Khan Ama. It's extremely hypocritical..."
The fourteenth elder brother said, thinking of the eighth elder brother, and whispered: "Just like the eighth elder brother, the eighth elder brother and the ninth elder brother are not said to be mortal enemies, but they are almost there. In the end, aren't they still pretending to help? Tsk tsk, the others are like the eighth elder brother.
There is no difference, they all mean the same thing..."
Prince Ping listened and felt that he had learned a lot...

Jiubele Mansion, main room.
Brother Jiu was talking to Shu Shu about the settlement of accounts in several houses outside, and he was being picky.
"Brothers are the same. I really think that I am a child. A few words of slander are nothing. Only if they have the ability to complain to the emperor can I convince them! If I don't have the ability and courage, I can only whisper behind my back. In addition to wasting my breath, I will
