The prince hesitated, and a eunuch came to the door and said: "Master, the ninth elder brother is here..."
The prince couldn't help but frown after hearing this.
He glanced at the clock before adjusting it.
Coming here at this time, it seems that he is really anxious...
He casually ordered: "Please come to the side hall for tea."
The eunuch responded.
The prince sat behind the desk and did not move.
He was still a little uncomfortable in his heart.
Previously, Brother Eleven's horse was pitted against brothers from the Yuqing Palace and Yikun Palace families, but in the end he bowed his head.
Afterwards, Brother Jiu had no intention of joining in.
Brother Jiu and his wife went to the West Garden to deliver food. There were food everywhere, but there was no one from the Bookstore.
Although the prince did not argue with Brother Jiu, he was not happy either.
This time I did get together, but it was for the money.
The prince stayed for a while, and it was estimated that a quarter of an hour passed before he got up from the study and went to the side hall.
When I entered the door, I saw Brother Jiu sitting there in red clothes. He was busy talking and half of the tea next to him was gone.
Seeing the prince coming in, Brother Jiu stood up, smiled brightly, and said: "Hello, Prince..."
nondescript.
The prince nodded and said, "You're fine too..."
When the guests and hosts took their seats again, the prince saw that Brother Jiu was careless and unsteady at all. He really couldn't believe it.
Isn't this money wasted?
He was a little reluctant to part with it.
Although the Ministry of Internal Affairs provides support for Yuqing Palace, there are many places to spend money outside.
But if he were to be on the same level as the boss, he wouldn't be happy.
He thought for a while and said: "I know you are short of money right now. I am also a brother, so I should prepare some for you. It's just that I just bought two properties before the Mid-Autumn Festival. I spent a lot and don't have much left. Let's do it this way, Gu.
I’ll give you 50,000 yuan first, then I’ll write a letter to Cao Yin and ask him to raise another 70,000 yuan..."
Brother Jiu couldn't help but be stunned.
Why is Cao Yin still involved?
Isn’t Cao Yin an official of the Ministry of Internal Affairs?
How could the prince ask for money directly?
After the prince finished speaking, he picked up the tea bowl.
He originally wanted to teach Ninth Brother a few words about how to behave appropriately, but since he couldn't bear the burden, he just transferred the cashmere weaving field directly to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, which was considered a return to his lost ways.
But looking at the makeup of the ninth elder brother and thinking about Khan Amma's connivance towards him and the fourteenth elder brother, the two youngest sons of his favorite concubines, the prince lost the interest in preaching.
Get used to it.
When I was a child, I was willful and naughty, and Khan Ama would tolerate it, but will I still tolerate it when I grow up?
He didn't bother to be perfunctory and directly served the tea.
What else?
Do you really want to stare at each other and wait until later to have dinner together?
Brother Jiu was distracted and didn't pay attention to the prince's movements.
The prince coughed slightly and said, "I won't keep you here for now. I still have some books to read..."
Brother Ninth stood up and said: "Prince, fifty thousand taels is enough. The remaining fifth brother will help me get it together..."
No matter how deep the personal relationship between the prince and Cao Yin is, it is not appropriate for him to reveal it.
Didn’t that make Cao Yin fall into a trap?
That's Khan Amma's brother-in-law, and he's Haha Pearl, and he's still running the cashmere weaving field.
Even if he had private dealings with Yuqing Palace, it was just to flatter his superior.
It’s just that Khan Amma didn’t care about these things in the early years, but what if he does in the future?
Brother Jiu has grown up and knows what "people's hearts are fickle".
This time it was the prince who was stunned.
Lao Wu all got together...
It was also expected that given the Queen Mother's love for Lao Wu, the private treasury of Ningshou Palace would definitely fall into Lao Wu's hands.
Looking at Brother Ninth's careless look, as if moving money from the inner treasury is of no importance, it turns out that for this reason, someone is telling the truth.
He pondered for a moment and said, "I heard that Sibeile gave you one hundred thousand taels of silver?"
Brother Ninth nodded and said: "Yeah, but I'm just putting it aside for now. I don't think I'll need it. I'll definitely use Brother Five's money first..."
Prince: "..."
Do you really have no intention of paying it back?!
Is this borrowing money or asking for money?
Does the boss know his plan?
How could you be so shameless!
He took a breath and said: "I guess the money from Cao Yin will arrive later, and it will take several months to get back and forth. I will send someone to give you 50,000 first..."
Brother Jiu has seen the faces of people from Yuqing Palace before, and he doesn't want to see them again.
Besides, this involves the banker's ticket. If there is any dispute in the middle, will I be wronged or not?
And this amount, fifty thousand is good, fifty thousand wonderful, fifty thousand is awesome!
We can't let the prince come back to his senses!
His eyes shone brightly, and he said with urgency: "If it's convenient for you, can you let your brother take him back now? This... is quite urgent..."
The prince glanced at him, his face tightened, and said: "Well, I'll ask someone to get it for you..."
After saying this, he ordered the eunuch to get the money.
Brother Jiu opened the box and looked at the denominations of the banknotes inside, then closed it and said with a smile: "Thank you, Prince, for your help..."
The prince said: "Okay, no need to say these kind words..."
But there won’t be a second time!
This ninth elder brother, relying on the emperor's father's favor, specializes in blackmailing his brothers.
Previously, I heard others say that he blackmailed the third elder brother and the eighth elder brother's property, and the prince thought it was a joke.
But after two dealings, he lost several properties and fifty thousand taels of silver!
Is this the end of his greed?
Brother Jiu left, and the prince returned to the study.
He had already planned to inform He Yi and ask him to keep an eye on Brother Ninth.
Brother Ninth's appetite is getting bigger and bigger, and there are many places where the Ministry of Internal Affairs can do anything.
Thinking of the Crown Princess's praise of Brother Jiu and his wife, the Crown Prince became anxious.
He thought for a while, went to the main room in the backyard, told the princess about the matter, and complained: "I don't know if I don't deal with this. I never thought that Lao Jiu would be such a person!"
The princess listened, but she didn't believe that Brother Jiu was such a person.
The Crown Princess put aside the Crown Prince's complaints and said, "Of the 120,000 taels of silver you prepared for Brother Jiu, do you want to give 70,000 taels later?"
The prince hummed softly: "What can I do? The boss was like a convulsion. He took out a hundred thousand taels, how could Gu be less than him? There is also Khan Ama watching, if he knew that Lao Jiu left Yuqing Palace empty-handed
, I feel distressed again..."
The princess did not agree.
If we are not really in trouble, who would be willing to lend money?
Now it's like this again, even raising troops and mobilizing people has been borrowed a lot.
Mobilize troops and mobilize people...
The princess was thoughtful.
It must be true that something happened when something happened, but this "mobilizing troops and crowds" cannot be said to be the thoroughness of Brother Jiu.
In this way, the prince was treated like the other brothers.
The emperor will see this.
But the prince couldn't see this.
The princess looked at the prince, a little worried...

After coming out of Yuqing Palace, Brother Jiu was in a good mood.
Finally, finally there is someone to meet!
As for what the prince said about Cao Yin’s seventy thousand taels of silver, it’s too late!
When he went back soon, he asked He Yuzhu to walk around and tell him a few places in the palace first.
If you have enough money, don’t wait until the time comes, haha!
No, there are still twelve elder brothers left.
Coming out of Yuqing Palace, it is right next to Qianqing Palace.
Further south, beyond the inner court, is the Arrow Pavilion.
The school field in front of the Arrow Pavilion is where the Prince of Shangshu Fang practices shooting in the afternoon.
Brother Jiu took two steps and then stopped.
There are also Thirteenth Brother and Fourteenth Brother here.
The thirteenth brother is okay, but the fourteenth brother is too noisy with his chatter.
The ninth elder brother did not approach, but told He Yuzhu: "Go and ask the twelfth elder brother to come over, and tell me that I will wait here immediately."
He Yuzhu responded and went.
After a while, he brought his twelfth elder brother back.
"Brother Ninth..."
The twelfth elder brother said respectfully.
Brother Jiu glanced at him and said, "Brother is in trouble. I have been raising money for the past two days. My brothers have all helped. See how much you can help. Do what you can and don't force it."
On the word "brothers", he was more serious.
Although he wanted to watch the fun, the twelfth prince was not among the people who wanted to watch the fun.
Khan Ama could not think of the twelfth elder brother at first. What if the twelfth elder brother did not provide the money this time, and Khan Ama would not like it later?
Khan Amma would not think that the twelfth elder brother was a concubine prince. He had no money and would only treat the twelfth elder brother as cold and cold.
Brother Twelve blinked, was he borrowed money from Brother Ninth?
He remembered the words of the eunuch who had delivered meals at noon. In the morning, all the princes who had been ennobled came over, one after another.
I also understood why Brother Jiu mentioned his brothers. It was because he was worried that he didn’t know how to “follow the crowd”.
He asked: "How much money did the thirteenth brother and the fourteenth brother collect?"
Last night, the Thirteenth Brother and the Fourteenth Brother went to the Second School after dark. People from the Fifth School saw it and mentioned it to the Twelfth Brother.
Brother Ninth hesitated a little.
Are we just talking about the two little brothers’ own share, or are we talking about the total number?
He didn't come here just to embarrass Brother Twelve.
But this amount will eventually be summed up for Khan Amma to see.
The ninth elder brother was thinking about whether he should add more to the twelfth elder brother's money, so that he could be on par with the thirteenth elder brother and the fourteenth elder brother...
The twelfth elder brother continued to look at the ninth elder brother and said, "Can't I ask? Then ask the tenth elder brother..."
The ninth elder brother thought it was better to talk to the thirteenth elder brother and the fourteenth elder brother, and said: "They are both ten thousand taels, but not many of them are their own. Most of them are grinded from the concubines and concubines. So you don’t need to pay attention to Twelve, just collect the spare money on hand and give it to Ninth Brother, and you don’t have to compete with them..."
The twelfth elder brother secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Then my brother can also chip in ten thousand taels..."
After hearing this, Brother Jiu frowned and said: "What do you want to do? Didn't I tell you that the spare money around you is enough. You are not allowed to dig into the noble's private room, and don't talk to Aunt Su Ma. You will be a teenager next year, right? My child, don’t follow the example of those two losers Thirteen and Fourteen..."
The twelfth elder brother shook his head and said: "Don't disturb the nobles and grandma, my brother just has some money on hand..."
Having said this, he thought about it carefully and said: "It adds up to twenty-two thousand six hundred taels. If you, Ninth Brother, can use it, you can use it all. It's just that it's only ten thousand taels on the surface..."
The ninth elder brother looked at the twelfth elder brother and said in surprise: "Why is the money so old?"
The twelfth elder brother said honestly: "I saved up the gifts given by my mother-in-law and the palace's annual and birthday gifts without even touching them."
Brother Ninth gave a thumbs up and said: "Awesome, when Brother Ninth and I were as old as you, we didn't even have so much money..."
The twelfth elder brother raised the corner of his mouth.
Brother Ninth is only two years older than me, but he sounds like he is ten years older.
Everyone has a pity for the weak, and Brother Jiu is no exception.
He has also been the unloved younger brother and knows what it feels like.
I still have my wife and my fifth brother, and among my friends is my tenth brother, but my twelfth brother is like a lonely ghost.
He is an honest kid, so he will help if he can.
He thought for a while and said: "Then I won't be polite to you anymore. You keep two thousand sixty thousand and the remaining twenty thousand will be used by my brother for two years..."
The twelfth elder brother nodded and said: "Well, use it..."
