The Struggle History of the Fourteenth Qing Dynasty

"You stay in the yard honestly. Only Fujin can go out to meet guests." Jiu Ye became a little impatient: "Also, it's a serious matter to find Master Fourteen, what are you going to do? Accompanying you for a drink?"

This is a bit serious.

It was the first time that Master Ninth had said that to Mo Diller, and his face turned pale immediately, tears streaming down his face: "What do you mean by this, Master? The concubine was drafted out of a serious job, so why did she just follow me?" Is it the same as the wine girl?"

"Didn't you say it yourself, did you want to serve tea and wine for our brothers?" After changing his clothes, Master Jiu glanced at her, and suddenly felt bored in his heart: "Okay, don't cry, master is leaving .”

After finishing speaking, he left, leaving behind the dumbfounded Merdyll.

The people sent by Jiufujin took a look at Merdile's family, and thought that this was outdated again, and it was time for Master Jiu's new love to change.

When Master Jiu went to the outer study, he found that Fourteen was already leaning on a soft pillow on the kang in his study, reading "The Analects of Confucius".

Seeing Master Jiu come in, Master Fourteen put away the book in his hand: "Brother Jiu."

"You're here!" Jiu Ye sat down, "It's almost New Year's Eve, why do you have time to come to my house?"

The fourteenth master is very busy, and the ninth master knows it.

"Can I not come? If your brother and I don't come again, you won't know how to die." Fourteenth Master rolled his eyes.

"I know." Master Jiu said decadently: "Huang Ama suspects me, I know."

"You still know, you!" Fourteenth Master said angrily, "What did I tell you? You have to spend money to make money, and you have to spend money meaningfully. Even if you build a porridge shed to help beggars, it's better You are indomitable and strong."

Master Jiu bowed his head: "I'm not a hairless man."

Master Jiu is famous for his grandeur, and he has done a lot of things to spend a lot of money for beauties.

But these are all meaningless things, this is not called spending money meaningfully, this is called showing off wealth!

"Yes, you used it to support the opera singer and play the courtesan." The Fourteenth Master dropped the book angrily: "Huang Ama thinks you are plotting something wrong, you should know how serious it is, I patted my chest in front of Huang Ama The one who paid the ticket said that you are not that kind of person, Brother Ninth, how much money do you have to pay for Brother Ninth before you feel it is enough?"

Fourteen made it clear: "I know, you support him secretly, but look at what he has done?"

"This incident of killing the eagle is not what Starlings meant, he was set up by someone." Jiu Ye supported his forehead and said: "I don't know, in fact, he has stopped taking money from me for a long time, and I can't afford it either." He has so much money. You know the business I do. I do it step by step. I don’t make as much money as your business. You also said that although I opened the bank, the money is not for nothing. The silver is deposited with me, and once I want to exchange it, I have to pay out the silver, so I haven’t given my starling money for a long time, and the last time I gave him silver was three years ago.”

"How much did you give?"

"8 taels of silver, in cash."

"You are really rich!" Fourteenth Master's nose was full of anger: "I also give my brother 8 to [-] taels, how about it?"

"Don't laugh at brother." Master Jiu said angrily, "Isn't it shameful for me? But what mynah did later made me and old ten feel bad, so... the conversation broke down, and then we I didn't contact her again until Concubine Liang passed away, alas, I was also soft-hearted, so I couldn't hold back."

I just helped Ba Ye, who knows, it will help with this kind of thing.

Do you think Master Jiu can't be wronged?But this kind of injustice cannot be called out.

But Master Jiu was so aggrieved to death.

"Okay, don't have anything to do with the starlings in the future. My brother can accommodate you, but Huang Ama may not be able to accommodate you. It's been a long time, haven't you noticed? Huang Ama hasn't even visited Yifei. , didn’t even say a word to Empress Yifei, how good do you think the environment in the harem is?” Fourteenth Master said angrily: “I went to give you a guaranteed ticket yesterday, don’t cheat my brother!”

"I see." Master Jiu was scolded by his younger brother. He was in a bad mood and couldn't hold back his face. However, Master Fourteen didn't seem to notice. He had to have lunch at Master Jiu's place, so he personally ordered the famous food from Master Jiu's family Purple crispy meat.

Purple Crispy Pork is a traditional dish of Confucian Mansion in Shandong Province, which belongs to Confucian cuisine of Shandong cuisine.

The finished purple crispy meat is sauce purple in color, soft and rotten crispy, with a strong mellow aroma.

This purple savory taste is just in contrast with the style of Confucian Mansion's "Same Heaven and Old" and "An Fu Zun Cuisine", so it is named "Purple Crispy Pork" and is listed as a traditional delicacy.

The purple crispy meat of Jiuye's family is different from other dishes. When serving, it is served with scallion slices, melon strips, and sweet sauce. It is fragrant, sweet and refreshing, and has a unique flavor.

So the fourteenth master liked the food very much. The nine masters saw his carefree appearance, the food was so sweet, and he also got an appetite. He competed with the fourteenth to eat purple crispy meat, but Jiufujin couldn't stand it anymore , let people serve the roast duck, along with lotus leaf cake, shredded melon and chives, slices of coriander and sweet noodle sauce.

The two brothers ate and drank a lot, and when they were full, they found that neither of them had been drinking.

The fourteenth master doesn't like to drink, and the ninth master doesn't even think about it. If it were the tenth master, the brothers would have already drunk it.

"Go for a walk in the back garden of my house." Think of it as digestion.

"Okay!" Master Fourteen nodded.

The two brothers were a bit full of food, which is rare, and it is common when they drink too much, but this time the two of them did not drink, and kept a clear head.

"Huang Ama is about to start doing it. You should be careful. You have made a lot of money over the years, is it enough? Huang Ama told me that you have a monopoly on the tea business in Beijing? Brother Nine, you So short of money? Do you want to monopolize the business?" Fourteenth Master said to Jiu Ye earnestly: "Ninth Brother, you don't have a lot of expenses now, so what are you earning so much money for? Leave it to your family as a dowry? Is that enough?"

"Tea monopoly is a business done carelessly. I will let people let it go tomorrow." Actually, it was the younger brother of the Mordillos who did it. , a lot of stupid things.

"It's best to be like this." Fourteenth Master said angrily: "My brother can save you once or twice, but not too many times. Huang Ama's attitude is the most important thing. Ninth brother, you have been doing it all these years. What? Since you’ve made a lot of money, let’s take some out and donate it to some charity halls and nursing homes.”

Foster homes are orphanages.

The Fourteenth Master has always donated money to the nursing home, and there are also some charitable halls and nursing homes.

Anyway, Kangxi likes Fourteen, who doesn't like such a kind-hearted child?

The two of them talked about some business matters, but they were overheard by Mrs. Merdilla. She came to look for Master Jiu, and took advantage of her status as a new favorite to break into the back garden.

In the back garden of Jiuye's house, according to the seasons, wintersweet flowers are blooming in this garden. Although it only occupies a corner, the flowers are conspicuous in winter.

The two brothers were originally talking, and when it came to the tea business, wouldn't Fourteenth Master persuade Jiu Ye to stop the monopoly business?

The Merdiles immediately became unhappy, because this business was actually done by her natal brother and the Jiu Ye together. With the help of the Jiu Ye, the Merdiles made a lot of money.

She was suddenly not allowed to continue, no wonder she was happy!

The family sent her to Jiuye's mansion just to make money.

So when she heard this, she couldn't help it, and jumped out: "Master, this tea business can't stop!"

It scared Fourteenth Master!

The Fourteenth Master in the backyard knew that they were within the scope of the back garden, but they were here, and the Ninth Master would definitely not allow anyone to come and disturb them.

But a woman from the backyard jumped out and listened to what they said.

Although a woman can't care about the outside world, it depends on what kind of backyard woman she is.

And this woman is very young, well-dressed, she looks like someone from the backyard favored by Lord Jiu.

It's just that this person is neither Jiufu Jin nor Fourteenth Master knows her. He frowns and looks at the woman who jumped out, and then at Jiuye, with a little dissatisfaction in his eyes.

"Who let you in?" Ninth Master and Fourteenth Master had already had something to discuss, how could they not clear the room?

After the venue was cleared, there were still women coming into the back garden. Master Ninth was very upset, especially in front of Master Fourteen, he was ashamed to be thrown in front of his younger brother.

"If the concubine doesn't come in, how do I know that the master is being bewitched?" Merdilor said plausibly, "Master, how profitable is the tea business? Why do you stop when you say it? The fourteenth master can do whatever he says, he... he is your brother."

It's not your master!

She didn't say this, but Master Jiu is not stupid!

Fourteenth Master frowned: "Ninth Brother, you can figure it out."

He couldn't manage Jiu Ye's women's affairs, so he let Jiu Ye figure it out, and it was up to Jiu Ye to do it.

What can Master Jiu do?

He is only interested in women for 3 minutes, so he doesn't like this woman's performance. He has no shortage of good-looking women, so he slapped her down with a slap: "Come on, beat Moer Di Le's concubine Fujin, shut up to Lengxiang Garden, don't let it out to be an eyesore if you have nothing to do, everyone she brought will be locked in together, whoever dares to give her convenience, I will let his whole family go to the black coal kiln for convenience!"

"Yes!" More than a dozen strong servants jumped out, without allowing Merdile to distinguish, they quickly tied them up and carried them away.

As for how to deal with it, that's Jiufujin's business, and Master Jiu doesn't care.

The Fourteenth Master looked at the Ninth Master with disgust on his face: "Fantasy and big radish!"

Master Jiu was so angry that he wanted to beat him up, but he didn't make any sense, so he could only swallow his anger and said: "I know, it's okay if I don't play so hard in the future."

The fourteenth master left with a whimper, and the ninth master was aggrieved.

Because the new year is coming, everyone is very busy. The fourteenth master did not expect that Nian Gengyao gave him a new year's gift after the new year, and it was as many as eight carts, with various expenses for food and clothing. all have.

He sent ten carts to Prince Yong, two of which were for Nianshi.

"Aren't you busy?" Master Fourteen pulled him into the study.

"Busy, but I miss you more." Nian Gengyao hugged the Fourteenth Lord and returned to Beijing, where they were even more uncomfortable.

Meeting is like being a thief, and Prince Xun's mansion is okay, but outside, the two of them look at each other and feel that it is sweet, there is no way, this relationship cannot be revealed to the world.

"I miss you too." Fourteenth Master also hugged Nian Gengyao. Nian Gengyao's body did not have the smell of gunpowder smoke on the battlefield, but there was a cold breath like ice mint.

This is more and more in line with his status as a general.

But Nian Gengyao was born in Hanlin!

Nian Gengyao lowered his head and whispered to the Fourteenth Master, "Should I have dinner here tonight?"

The fourteenth master pursed his lips and said happily: "By the way, I will talk with my master at night by candlelight, and fall asleep on my feet."

This is actually a very risky thing, but the two of them couldn't help it. How long has it been since they were together?It is natural for two people who love each other to miss each other.

However, there are no outsiders in Master Fourteen's mansion, they are all people he can trust.

So that night, the two of them ate the lamb and scorpion pot, which is most suitable for eating in winter. They also boiled green vegetables and drank a little wine, which was too much for the two of them.

It was natural to sleep together.

They used a small bottle as a cover, and no one found anything wrong.

But Fourteenth Master woke up a bit late the next day, and Nian Gengyao kneaded his waist: "The Chinese New Year is coming soon. I heard from Prince Yong that after the Chinese New Year, I'm afraid there will be big moves."

"It's about recovering the money owed by the household department. I was always delayed by various things before, and now I finally have time." Fourteenth Master lay on the kang, enjoying Nian Gengyao's massage service: "I guess, In the past, Lao Ba was the one who made trouble in secret. He had a lot of money in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and he also placed manpower in the Ministry of Officials. All of this requires money, and many officials who owe money are all corrupt. Hmph, now Huang Ama has to be serious. , they're scared."

"Whether you are afraid or not, it has nothing to do with us. Do you owe any money?" Nian Gengyao suddenly asked Fourteenth Master.

Fourteenth Master shook his head: "No."

"I have." Nian Gengyao said: "I owe 1000 taels of silver. I borrowed it because I was in a hurry, but I am ready to pay it back."

"That's good." As long as the debt is not too much, the Fourteenth Master feels that there is no problem with Nian Gengyao's family background.

After the new year, it will soon be New Year's Eve. Nian Gengyao is celebrating the New Year in Beijing alone. How could Kangxi ignore him as a great hero?

At the New Year's Eve banquet, Nian Gengyao had a seat, even in the front.

But this time, Ba Ye still didn't show up, and Uncle Chang Ning's health was not good, so he didn't come either.

However, Prince Yong is very close to Nian Gengyao, and it is rare for the two of them to talk and laugh. Fourteen came up to Thisteen: "Brother Thirteen, do you want to do it after the next year?"

"Well, everything is ready at the household department." Thirteenth Master nodded lightly: "Huang Ama has also agreed."

"That's good. Tell me if you need my brother's help." The fourteenth master knew that he would do it in the next year, and all the gold and silver he specially saved would be useful.

The thirteenth master was actually embarrassed: "The second master in Xian'an Palace owes the household department... 300 million taels of silver."

Master Fourteen gasped!

"The king of Zhijun also owes 150 million taels." The amount of silver owed by the thirteenth master made the fourteenth master dumbfounded.
