I became a group pet after dressing as nine elder brothers

As Kangxi expected.

Although Yinfeng is not very interested in opening a hot pot restaurant, who made Yinzhen interested?Therefore, not only did he choose to agree directly, but he also called Ling Pu to tell him to do what Yinzhen said.

Ling Pu is the husband of Yin Jia's wet nurse.

He is probably only in his early 30s, with light and slender eyebrows, bright eyes, a smile on his face, half-bent body listening to the conversation between the Prince and Ninth Prince.

Ling Pu was faintly excited.

He is just a small post in the Ministry of Internal Affairs - he is touted by his colleagues and he is eager to get such an opportunity.

If you can do this thing well.

Perhaps Ling Pu could become a celebrity in front of the prince in one fell swoop!Is there any need to talk about the prosperity and wealth in the future?Not to mention the treasurer in charge, even the doctor or even the general manager can think about it.

The more he thought about it, the more excited he became.

Ling Pu suppressed his fluctuating mood, held his breath, and listened carefully to all the requirements of Brother Jiu, and must be perfect.

Yinzhen racked his brains to speak out what he still remembered.

Yinfeng listened with strange eyes.

These contents are a bit fanciful and unconvincing, but it seems that Yinzhen is talking about something he has seen before.

Ling Pu's smile didn't change.

It's just a few drops of cold sweat on the back of my head.He suddenly felt that this matter might be more difficult than he had expected.

But looking up and seeing the longing in Brother Jiu's eyes... Ling Pu still bit the bullet and complied.

Just open a shop?

What's the problem?Ling Pu suppressed the doubts in his heart, and replied calmly on his face: "Don't worry, Brother Nine, leave this matter to the servant!"

Yinzhen's eyes were shining brightly.

Excited and joyful, he turned his head to look at Yinfeng, then scratched his face shyly: "But Ling Pu opened the store, and my brother didn't even make any effort, is that okay?"

"What's the point of that?"

Yinfeng rubbed Yinzhen's little face nonchalantly: "How much does it cost to open a shop?"

"But..." Yinzhen frowned.

Standing aside, Hesheli Lunbu saw that Brother Jiu was still talking, so he quickly added: "Don't worry, Brother Jiu, it really doesn't cost much to open a shop. People from the Eight Banners like us are not so ten and eight." from a shop?"

Yin Reng nodded in agreement.

Setting up a shop, recruiting a few chefs, opening a hot pot restaurant... It's about like opening a restaurant, it should be very simple, right?

"But I think it's a bit of an advantage."

"You're still young." Yinrong patted Yinzhen's little head: "Don't worry about these things, let's talk about them when you grow up."

"It has nothing to do with being young." Yinzhen shook her head.

He tilted his head and thought for a while, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he looked at Yinfeng with a three-point shyness and embarrassment: "Then how about this... counting the money that my younger brother asked the prince's second brother to borrow? Wait until you turn around and make money." Then return the share of the prince's brother."

After speaking, Yinzhen's voice became softer and softer.

This sounds like a white wolf with empty hands!

"It's just a shop, what do you need money for?"

Yinfeng felt that it was not good for brothers to talk about money, not to mention that Yinzhen was only four years old, and if it was spread, he would bully his younger brother.

"Brothers will settle accounts!" Yinzhen shook his head.

"...You don't know where you got these fallacies, you kid." Yinfeng had a headache, he reluctantly agreed with Yinzhen's opinion, and turned to look at Ling Pu: "Tell me, it takes a lot of money to open a shop." How much?"

Ling Pu thought carefully.

He cupped his hands and said: "The shops in the capital are about 200 taels, and the house servants who can do arithmetic may range from 20 taels to 100 taels. In addition, the early entry and exit account slaves thought that the first batch of funds would cost about a month. Thousands to 2000 taels of silver."

Yinfeng: ...

Yinzhen: ...

A lot of question marks floated on the foreheads of the two people who had never encountered such mundane things as money. They bit the bullet and estimated that each person would invest 1000 taels, a total of 2000 taels of silver to invest in this business.

Yinzhen held the agreement in both hands.

Hmm... the first step of opening a store is to post 1000 taels of silver QAQ before making any money!

Seeing Yinzhen's heartache, Yinfeng couldn't help laughing: "I told you earlier, what are you doing with Gu caressing about the money?"

"That's different!"

Yinzhen snorted, and turned her bright eyes to Ling Pu - my little money is up to you!

Ling Pu surong cupped his hands: "Although this matter is left to the servant."

Yinzhen is in a good mood.

He was lying on his stomach with his two little feet dangling, counting the books with great interest, he might make a lot of money by doing this, and then... Hehehe!I want to show off in front of Ama Khan, and then I will buy gifts for Erniang, Ukumamo, Huangmamo, fourth sister, eleventh brother... everyone!

Yinzhen crossed her waist.

The more he thought about it, the happier he was!

Of course, this matter was soon learned by Kangxi.

He shook his head secretly, told the guards to keep an eye on the progress of the hot pot restaurant, and then put it aside.

This happened in the past two months.

When Yinzhen almost forgot about running a hot pot restaurant, Yinreng happily called him into Yuqing Palace, and put a stack of bank notes in front of him: "This is the dividend for this month——Ling Pu just gave it to you." here."

Yinzhen took a deep breath.

There are more than a dozen or more copies just by looking at them without counting them. In other words, it has only been opened for a month and the cost has been paid back?This is no way to open a store, this is simply a gold ingot, if you ask him to open ten or twenty stores!

In Yinzhen's left eye, it says making money, but in his right eye, it says making money. Yinzhen can't help laughing at his small appearance of being greedy for money.

"Are you so happy when you make money?"

"That's for sure! Hehe!" Yinzhen was spinning around excitedly holding the bank note, both proud and happy: "Last time, Khan Ama thought that what I said was all nonsense, now I want to Show off in front of Khan Ama!"

But once in a while.

Yinzhen remembered that he still owed a lot of debts, and put the banknote back into Yinfeng's hand with a bitter face: "This money has to be paid back to you, second brother first, and mine will be discussed next month!"

He hopped outside.

After walking out of Yuqing Palace, Yinzhen still didn't forget to ask again: [Tongtong, this mission hasn't appeared yet? ]

[no! ]

[It seems that the dream of quite a big businessman has also been declared a failure. ] Yinzhen pouted, and he didn't take the setback for a moment to heart. As soon as he turned his head, Yinzhen let go and sprinted towards the Qianqing Palace: "Hmph! Brother Ben wants to ask Khan Ama, How does he feel now!"

After telling Khan Ama, tell the brothers, can we expand this business again?While thinking, Yinzhen hurriedly broke into the Qianqing Palace, dangling with her hips akimbo in front of Kangxi.

Looking at Yinzhen who was holding his head up and tail almost up to the sky, Kangxi felt helpless for a while.

"Khan Ama, what else do you have to say?"

Yinzhen held her head high and proud, looking at Kangxi triumphantly: "The facts are right in front of you!"

"Oh? What facts?"

"It's just that the hotpot restaurant I opened was a success! I made it back in a month! It's a lot!" Seeing Kangxi's refusal to admit it, Yinzhen flew into a rage, put her chubby hands on the imperial case, and stared at Kangxi loudly.

"I didn't see the money I earned."

"I'll return it to my second elder brother first..." Yinzhen pursed her lips and muttered, "When I get the money next month, I must let Khan Ama see clearly."

"Okay, I'll wait for you to bring it."

"Hey... It's a pity that I can't see the guests coming and going." Yinzhen held his chin, imagining the people coming and going in the hot pot restaurant, and a trace of longing appeared on his face.

He giggled silly.

Jumping around in circles, Yinzhen went out happily: "I want to tell Mamo Ukuma about this! Tell Mamo Huang! Tell Erniang, tell brothers~"

Yinzhen's voice has not yet fallen.

Kangxi directly interrupted his words: "Wait! You said you want to tell the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager, as well as Yinti and the others?"

"Yes duck!"

Yinzhen was triumphant: "When I leave the palace, I will use the money I earned to buy gifts for everyone hehehe~"

Kangxi: ...

The corner of his mouth raised a barely visible arc, and he stared at Yinzhen meaningfully: "Do you want me to take you out of the palace to have a look?"

"Look at what...?"

Yinzhen answered blankly.The next second he opened his eyes wide in surprise: "Really?"

"Have I ever told a lie?"

Kangxi smiled and nodded: "I see, let's go today? How about we go after the prince finishes class?"

Yinzhen blinked.

He stared suspiciously at the smiling Kangxi, always feeling something strange in his heart.But the big pie that came out of the palace was hanging in front of his eyes, and Yinzhen couldn't help but respond: "Okay!"

I just asked my second brother for an excuse!

Then go to buy some gifts... Yinzhen counted the number of gifts she wanted to buy while wringing her fingers and grinning.

When Yinreng came to Qianqing Palace after class, the father and son changed into the same style of brocade robes embroidered with bamboo patterns on a jade white background, boarded a low-key gray oilcloth carriage, and slowly headed towards the busiest street in the capital.

When the carriage passed Zhengyang Gate, the noise came to my ears instantly.

Yinzhen was very excited.

He reached across the curtain and peered out curiously.

Whoever went to Xiaotangshan Hot Spring also missed the Lantern Festival, and when he was surrounded by guards and palace guards, he could only see ordinary people kowtowing all over the ground. It is the first time that both Xuan and Yinreng have created the world.

Yinfeng couldn't hold back his excitement.

He also imitated Yinzhen's appearance and raised the corner of the curtain, looking curiously at the scene of people coming and going outside: there are stalls on both sides of the street, and the vendors are shouting loudly, beside the stalls selling candied haws and candied men It was crowded with young children, and the sound of chirping and laughing resounded through the sky.

Both Yinzhen and Yinreng didn't know where to put their eyes. They looked to the left and then to the right. Yinzhen shouted excitedly and joyfully: "Khan Ama, stop!"

Kangxi was both indulgent and helpless.

He stopped and walked until the carriage was full of various snacks and snacks. Seeing that Yinzhen was still unsatisfied, he finally couldn't help but ask, "You two forgot what we are going to do today?"

Yinzhen, holding candied haws in her mouth, fell into deep thought.

Wait...they came out for...?Suddenly remembering that the purpose was to go to the hot pot restaurant, the two were stunned, and quickly sat down and looked at Kangxi eagerly: "Khan Ama, hurry up!"

"Why haven't we arrived after walking for so long? How long will it take?"

Kangxi: ...

The corners of his eyes twitched, and he stared at the two people who had transformed themselves speechlessly. He was so anxious that he could see the son of the hotpot restaurant in the next second.

Say as much speechless as speechless.

Kangxi helplessly stretched out his hand to press them in place: "We'll be there soon—"

"How do you know, Khan Ama?"

"...I just know." Kangxi knocked Yinzhen's little head angrily, but just as Kangxi said, the carriage stopped soon opposite the hot pot restaurant.

Yinzhen and Yinreng hurriedly lifted the curtain to look at the opposite side.

What was different from what the two of them thought was that apart from a few mistresses who were dozing off on the bench, the hot pot restaurant was empty without even a single guest.

Yinfeng frowned indistinctly.

Yinzhen was disappointed for a moment, but soon cheered up again: "Second brother, it's not time for dinner yet!"

This is also.

Yinfeng let go of his heart.

Kangxi led his two sons to the second floor and sat by the window, ordered a pot of wine and tea, and a few plates of snacks. The three of them watched the hot pot restaurant opposite with great interest.

Until the sun went down and the sky gradually dimmed, lights were lit in the doors and windows of every house, and the faces of Yinzhen and Yinrong gradually became cloudy and cloudy like candles shaking in the wind.

The eyes of the two of them fell directly on the hot pot restaurant.

Even though the surrounding restaurants and teahouses are full of people, and the streets are clearly crowded with people, this hot pot restaurant is as quiet as if it has been forgotten by everyone.

Time passed more and more.

In line with the cuckoo in their stomachs, the complexions of Yinzhen and Yinrong also became more and more blue and white.

For the whole night, there was only one table of guests.

Is this what Ling Pu said about the booming business?People come and go?Make money every day?

Seeing that the three views of Yinzhen and Yinreng were about to be shattered, Kangxi no longer teased them.

Aware of the emperor's gesture.

The guard who was in charge of following the hot pot restaurant recently stepped forward and replied: "His Royal Highness, Brother Jiu, this hot pot restaurant opened nearly a month ago, and since then, the number of customers coming in and out every day has been less than ten people, like today, only One table, or even no table is common."

Yinfeng: ...

Yinzhen: ...

The previous joy of the two was completely poured out by a basin of cold water.Yinzhen just sat there dumbfounded, but Yinfeng's face was already blue and purple with anger.

Guards can't lie.

The liar is...Yin Reng gritted his teeth and let out a low growl: "...Ling Pu! Ling Pu! What about the money Ling Pu earned?"

"...I'm afraid Master Ling Pu's statement that he has already returned the original is a lie."

The guard was silent for a moment, then bowed and replied: "The servant has also discovered that many court officials and business managers have entered and left this store in the past few days. It seems... Suspected..."

He secretly glanced at the emperor.

With Kangxi's nod, the guard said the rest: "Suspected to be bribing the shopkeeper!"

Yinfeng: ...

He only felt that his eyes were dark, and he almost spurted blood on the spot.

Could it be that the silver that Ling Pu gave himself was a bribe from these people?Then what kind of person did he become in the eyes of Khan Ama?Did all the civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty know about this?

Thinking of how much he praised Ling Pu yesterday, and thinking about the idea of ​​raising him to a higher level in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Yinfeng felt countless slaps on his face.

He bowed his head.

Like Yinrong, there was Yinzhen who bowed his head. He tightly clenched his two small fists on his knees: "But why did this happen? It's obviously at my elder brother's place... Everyone in the harem likes to eat hot pot very much!"

The trend of hot pot spread from elder brother to the harem.

It’s just that after eating spicy hot pot, it is necessary to wash and change clothes, so as not to leave the smell to disgust the emperor, so the concubines are more popular with mushroom hot pot, clear soup hot pot or three delicacies hot pot.

Obviously so popular in the palace.

How could it be that no one cares about it outside?This is Yinzhen's most unbelievable answer. If the hot pot makes enough money, it is impossible for Ling Pu to fake it!

Yinzhen looked at the empty hotpot restaurant.

His nose twitched, tears began to roll because of his grievance.

Maybe... it's not me who is wrong?

It's because Ling Pu didn't promote it well! ?Or is there a problem that I don't know about?The more Yinzhen thought about it, the more likely it was, and turned to Kangxi with a glimmer of hope: "Khan Ama, why is this?"

Yinzhen and Yinreng turned their attention to Kangxi at the same time.

Kangxi smiled: "I will answer your questions one by one. The first thing I want to tell you two is that I never thought that a hot pot restaurant could be successful from the very beginning."

Yinzhen widened her eyes in shock.

The excuse he originally wanted to use was broken into pieces in an instant, he grabbed the hem of his robe with both hands, and exchanged glances with Yinrong with a blank expression.

"Yinfeng, after getting rid of Ling Pu's tricks."

Kangxi first took out a big weapon to overthrow Yinzhen, and then slowly turned to Yinfeng: "Tell me first what you think is the reason for the failure?"
