The fourth elder brother Yinzhen returned to the main courtyard under the moonlight.

"Master, this year's bonus money from the Yipin Building has been delivered today." Mrs. Wulanara said cautiously while taking off the big clothes that the fourth elder brother was wearing outside.

"En." The fourth elder brother responded lightly.

Then, there was a moment of silence.

Just when Wulanara thought that this was the end of the matter, he suddenly heard the fourth elder brother ask softly: "Did Lao Jiu send someone to send it? Or did he come here by himself?"

Wulanara raised her head and glanced at the fourth elder brother, only to see that he was just standing there with a calm expression adjusting his belt, as if he didn't ask the question just now.

It's really awkward.

Ulanara secretly complained.

"It was delivered by the ninth brother himself." Wulanara said with a smile, and offered a cup of fragrant tea with a suitable temperature to the fourth elder brother.

"If you want me to tell you, it's just a 2000 tael banknote. The ninth brother really doesn't have to go through this in person, just send someone to deliver it." Ulanara said a good word to the ninth elder brother without any trace.To be honest, Ninth Brother is really nice.Not only is this person good-looking, but he is also very pleasing, and treats people very sincerely, which is not easy to see in the royal family.Wu Lanara really doesn't know why his master is not pleasing to people?This person looks for faults horizontally, and picks thorns vertically. Every time Brother Jiu is mentioned, he chokes like eating chili.Just like having enemies in the previous life, they are really enemies in this life.

"I heard that the ninth brother sent it to the brothers himself." Ulanara added that seemingly unintentionally.

The fourth elder brother just nodded after hearing this, and didn't say anything else.

Seeing this, Wu Lanara was very helpless, but he couldn't persuade him much.

In the evening, the fourth elder brother did not rest in the main courtyard, but returned to the study.

After Gao Wuyou lit the lamp, he withdrew and stood quietly outside the study.

On the desk, there is a mahogany box.

Inside the mahogany box was the Yipinlou's bonus this year sent by Brother Jiu, not much, but two silver notes of 1000 taels.

The fourth elder brother looked at the bank note, with some loneliness hidden in his eyes.

He is currently working in the household department, and it is very cheap to check Yipinlou.

Therefore, he knows that Yipin Building is now a cornucopia, and it is making money every day.

This year's bonus, the few of their brothers got about the same.It's the same as when Lao Jiu came to find them to invest in this first-class building, they all had the same idea of ​​using the 500 taels to get rid of people.

It is said that the prince distributed 20 taels this year.The fifth and tenth children also got a lot this year.These people were the ones who supported Lao Jiu most at the beginning. Lao Wu and Lao Jiu were direct brothers, Lao Ten and Lao Jiu were inseparable from each other, and they were no different from brothers. There is nothing wrong with them supporting Lao Jiu.Only the prince's performance made the fourth elder brother very mindful.

When I heard that the crown prince gave Lao Jiu 5 taels of capital in one go, the fourth elder brother was almost so angry that he vomited blood, 5 taels, what's wrong with this money?Open a restaurant for a little kid.The fourth elder brother couldn't help scolding the prince for being too a prodigal son, and the ninth elder brother didn't grow up and had nothing to do.

He went to Yuqing Palace to persuade the crown prince to think twice, but the crown prince just waved his hand and said with a smile that it's okay, and he thought it was an early birthday for Xiaojiu.

He couldn't persuade the prince, so he could only catch Lao Jiu and give him a severe reprimand.You say that you are an elder brother, don't study hard, and toss about these lowly businessmen, it's really not doing your job properly!It's fine to play around with a few hundred taels, how can the prince pay as much as 5 taels? !Thanks to you being an elder brother, if you were a gege, wouldn't you be scolded for being beautiful and harmful to the country? !

Lao Jiu looked at people with the whites of his eyes since he was a child, which made people feel terrified.After being rescued from falling into the water that year, the fourth elder brother felt that Lao Jiu's temperament had changed a lot, he was much more polite, and he was quite like an imperial elder brother.It's a pity that this old Jiuyi still looks thorny when he meets him.The fourth elder brother didn't ask Lao Jiu to treat him like he did to Lao Wu and Lao Shi, but at least the difference couldn't be so big!Obviously, when Lao Jiu looked at the prince, his eyes were very gentle.Just like giving bonus money this time, the fourth elder brother knows that the old nine only stayed for about a cup of tea with other brothers, but when he arrived at Yuqing Palace, he had a meal and a rest, unexpectedly Stayed all afternoon.

The mood is a little sour.

The fourth elder brother doesn't know what is the reason for his mood?It was as if he hadn't figured it out all this time, why did His Royal Highness treat Lao Jiu so favorably?Win over?Because of Yikun Palace's influence in the country and the fifth son who is both civil and military and raised under the emperor's mama's lap?

The fourth elder brother's adoptive mother Tong Huang Guifei passed away a year and a half ago due to illness, and the tenth elder brother's mother-in-law Wen Xi noble concubine also went there that year.In today's harem, apart from the empress dowager, there are only four concubines.Among them, Concubine Yi of Yikun Palace is the most favored, and she is also the concubine with real power in her hands.The fourth elder brother's own concubine, Ernian De, was also one of the concubines in power, but because the concubine who lived in the side hall committed a crime, she was implicated, and was then deprived of the right to be in charge of the palace by Lord Kangxi.In this way, it is not an exaggeration to say that Yikun Palace is extremely powerful in the harem.

The fourth elder brother couldn't help but narrowed his eyes.

Apart from wooing him, I really can't think of any other reason why the crown prince should treat Lao Jiu so specially.

Lao Jiu is smart, otherwise this Pinlou would not have been made so impressive by him.

Lao Jiu is very good at being a man. He recruited all his brothers to open a restaurant to share dividends, and he didn't eat alone.I heard that Lao Jiu donated a lot of money to the Ministry of Internal Affairs.Of course, this is done through the crown prince, after all, the current steward of the Ministry of Internal Affairs is the crown prince's grandpa Ling Pu.As a result, even Huang Ama has nothing to say to Lao Jiu.People said that it was all sons who honored Huang Ama together.

Such a smart person who knows how to be a man, why is he so obsessed with making money?

The fourth elder brother thought that he hated the ninth elder brother very much.

You said that your old nine is so smart, no matter whether it is learning literature or martial arts, there will be no problem, but you are always messing with these low-level earnings all day long.Can't you learn something well, so that you can share your worries for Huang Ama or His Royal Highness in the future!It's just that he can't be an all-rounder in civil and military affairs like Lao Wu, so at least he should do some practical things for the court.

In the eyes of the fourth elder brother, the ninth elder brother is a child who is a bit smart but extremely idle.

Opening a restaurant is definitely not a serious matter in the eyes of the fourth elder brother.

Next time I have a chance, I still have to catch Lao Jiu and talk to him carefully.

I really want to break open that kid's head and see what it looks like inside.

He is obviously such a gentle and elegant person, but he wants to make himself smell like copper, which is not a bit vulgar.

I have to straighten this crooked kid!
