General Tudor didn't know about it at all, or did the eighth elder brother come later, and his confidant came to inform him, and he was also shocked when he heard the guard at the door: "Why did the fourteenth elder brother go to clean the stables? What's going on?" ?”
Even if the emperor asked General Tudor not to take care of Brother Fourteen, it was impossible for him to ignore him at all, so he asked his confidants to wander around the neighborhood from time to time.
Who knew that the confidant disappeared for a while, and the fourteenth brother ran to clean the stables?
The confidant quickly sent someone to ask: "General, this was originally the work of the soldiers in the same house."
General Tude thought to himself, Brother Fourteen is he being bullied?
The eighth elder brother frowned, also worried that the fourteenth elder brother would be bullied, and wanted to go in with his things to find someone.It's a pity that he was stopped by the guards, so he could only wait at the door for someone to come in and ask Brother Fourteen to come out.
The fourteenth elder brother came out after cleaning the stables, and heard from the veteran that his elder brother was coming again at the door, so he only washed his hands, and went there before changing clothes. Seeing the eighth elder brother waiting at the door, he was very surprised and said: "My elder brother, so It is you?"
The eighth elder brother came up with snacks alone and was so tired that he was dying, he was puzzled when he heard it: "Why, it's not me, who does the fourteenth brother think, fourth brother?"
Elder Fourteen really nodded and said: "Yes, Fourth Brother brought me something last time, including food and clothing. What did Starling bring me?"
The eighth elder brother thought that the fourth elder brother was quite considerate, so he handed it over: "It's a snack, and the fourteenth brother can share it with others. Then clean it up, and we'll go back."
Instead of using "I" but "we", Elder Fourteen glanced at him and said, "Didn't Fourth Brother tell Starling? I don't plan to go back anytime soon."
The eighth elder brother only thought that what he said was angry, and patiently comforted him: "Huang Ama is thinking about the fourteenth brother. If you don't go back for a month, Huang Ama thought you were angry with him. And it's been so long , Empress Concubine De is also thinking about my fourteenth brother."
Elder Fourteen shook his head and said, "I'm pretty good here, and I'm very experienced. I can know a lot of things, and the veterans take good care of me. Go back and tell Huang Ama that I want to spend more time here. Stay for a while, learn more and then return to the palace."
The eighth elder brother was anxious: "What can I learn here, isn't it enough for the fourteenth brother to stay here for a month?"
He didn't think that the fourteenth brother really wanted to stay and study, and what could he learn from those vulgar veterans, how could he learn to swear?
Elder Fourteen said: "The veterans know a lot. Some of them have been scouts, some have been forwards, and some have been alone. They have escaped death, and those who can survive are still alive and kicking, that is all their ability."
These are all experiences gained by fate, if the fourteenth elder brother didn't get to know them well, the veterans might not be willing to share them.
The fourteenth elder brother has a sweet mouth, and everyone calls him brother and brother. The veterans see that he is young and young, and they are willing to take more care of him.
In particular, he was very flattering, saying "great" on the left, "heroic" on the right, and "a hero" on the right. The veterans were coaxed into joy and were willing to talk more about the past.
They are familiar with each other, so it's meaningless to say this, and no one will support them. People outside will only say that they are soldiers and rough people, and they may even laugh at them for bragging.Now that there is a young fourteenth brother, it is different.
And Elder Fourteen looked at them full of admiration and admiration, and the veterans were also very proud.
Among them, Lao Li took the most care of the fourteenth elder brother. Knowing that he was not born in an ordinary way, he might not be used to it. The beds were all the cleanest ones he found. Indecent veterans crowded.
It's the best location next to the kitchen, and it's very warm at night.
The other veterans also let the youngest one in. Brother Fourteen may not be used to it at first, but after a long time, he can feel that these rough-looking but delicate and thoughtful veterans take care of themselves like the eldest brother, and gradually get close to them.
So the fourteenth elder brother saw at a glance that the eighth elder brother disapproved and even disapproved of those veterans, and felt a little uncomfortable: "Mynah, they treat me very well and teach me a lot."
The eighth elder brother said: "They treat you well, will they let you clean the stables alone? Fourteenth brother, you are young and don't know that people outside are sinister and easy to be deceived..."
Brother Fourteen interrupted him and said: "Brother, they didn't ask me to clean it, I took the initiative to help. This was originally Brother Li's job. His old injury recurred, and his hands and feet hurt badly. I told him to lie down and rest. , to help clean up here. With such a small space, I can finish it by myself, why ask other people to do it together?"
In winter, the stables are actually not smelly. When he first came here, he didn't dare to go near the stables, thinking it was too dirty.
It was Lao Li who said to the fourteenth brother: "Don't look down on these horses, they are all about to become good. It is clear who treats them well and who treats them badly. When they go to the battlefield, the horses It is your right hand and right arm, and a spiritual war horse can lead you to survive."
Not to mention being good to the horses, the people of Xi Daying almost worshiped these war horses as their ancestors.I don't have a bite to eat, so I have to feed the war horse well.
To treat these horses badly, they can throw people off the ground during training, or they won't let people get on the horses at all.
The fourteenth elder brother wanted to learn riding and archery in the palace, and the horses were better than the other, so he didn't believe it.
But after a few days of riding and archery training, he was taught a lesson by these war horses.
The others quickly selected their horses, and only Brother Fourteen walked around, but none of the fine horses let him approach.
Brother Fourteen was speechless. Are these horses really smart?
Lao Li laughed loudly at the side: "Just say that you treat it badly. If you haven't fed or bathed it, it won't talk to you, right?"
In the end, the fourteenth elder brother could only watch other people's horse riding training, not to mention how depressed he was.
But he tried for several days in a row, but the war horses still ignored him, so he could only ask Lao Li to feed the war horses with the others, clean their stables together, feed them a few meals of grain and grass, brush their backs and bathe them, and the horses naturally Then get close to yourself.
The fourteenth elder brother still didn't understand, so he asked Lao Li specifically, and the latter laughed: "The horses you used to have must have been trained by the servants, these horses don't have to go to the battlefield, so they are very obedient, let them go east. Go west. These war horses are different, if you want them to be obedient, you have to command the war horses when fighting against the enemy on the battlefield, how can it be possible to do both?"
So these war horses are different from those horses that only run in the paddock. They are strong and smart, and they don't just wait for the master's order to move.
Brother Fourteen suddenly realized that after taking good care of these horses for a few days, one of the maroon horses was finally willing to mount him. This made Brother Fourteen happy for several days, and he became more active in bathing and feeding the horses.
He was very satisfied, because these war horses were close to him not because of his identity as the fourteenth elder brother, but because of his hard work, so he was especially happy, and cleaning the stables was no longer a dirty and hard job.
The eighth elder brother didn't expect the fourteenth elder brother to refute himself, and felt that cleaning the stables was not a dirty job. The more he felt that this younger brother was being tricked by other veterans here!
If you don't bring him back, Elder Fourteen might have to give his heart and soul to the veterans!
"Okay, come back with me, it's not your turn to do this."
Seeing that the eighth elder brother was a little angry, his usual smiling face disappeared, and the fourteenth elder brother was very depressed. Why did he try to explain, but the eighth elder brother just couldn't listen?
"Brother, I really don't want to go back. Please tell Ama for me. I'll go back in another month, no, I'll go back in half a month." Knowing that he didn't tell the time, it would be difficult for the eighth brother to go back with the emperor. I confessed, so Elder Fourteen begged in a low voice.
The eighth elder brother shook his head and sighed, looking at the fourteenth elder brother, it was very difficult to bring this younger brother back today, so he could only say: "Okay, I will go back and tell Ahma, but Ahma may not let you get what you want .”
The fourteenth elder brother finally coaxed the eighth elder brother to leave, so he breathed a sigh of relief, took a few food boxes back, put one of them beside Lao Li and said: "This is the snack my brother brought over, you Try it."
He pidianpidian gave the other food boxes outside to share with others, and then came back again.
After Lao Li opened the food box, he was not in a hurry to eat, but waited for the fourteenth elder brother to come back. He glanced at the delicate food box and the pastries that were worth a lot of money inside, and raised his eyebrows and asked, "How about this?" It’s not your brother from last time, is it? How many brothers do you have?”
The fourteenth elder brother counted with his fingers: "I have thirteen older brothers, and there are younger brothers."
Hearing this, Lao Li nodded: "Your family is a big family, and it seems that the family is not short of money. But to be honest, your brother before is more realistic."
Elder Fourteen wondered: "Why is it true? Isn't it good to send so many pastries?"
Last time, the fourth elder brother only gave it to the fourteenth elder brother. At most, he sent a lot of small boxes of Yurong paste and a lot of dried meat to share with other veterans. This time, the eighth elder brother directly bought several large food boxes of snacks Let him share it with others.
Lao Li pointed at the pastry and said: "This pastry is really good-looking and delicious, but it is not easy to store. Although it is not easy to spoil in winter, it will freeze after one night. No matter how hard it is to eat tomorrow, it will not taste good. "
But the frozen soup and jerky sent by the fourth elder brother are really a lot. The jerky can be eaten directly, or thrown into the soup to cook.
Frozen soup is even better. Once the hot water is boiled, scoop a spoonful into it and cook for a while. It is delicious and rich. Put some vegetables or a little meat in it. Eat several.
Moreover, it is not bad at all in the winter, and you can eat it whenever you want. It is delicious when it is hot, which is more than the number of times that this pastry can really be eaten.
"And I remember correctly, this pastry shop is not far from the city gate. Your brother is probably going out of the city, so he remembered that he didn't bring you a gift, so he had to buy these at the city gate and bring them here."
It has to be said that Brother Fourteen knew that what Lao Li said might be right, so he lowered his head and pursed his lips a little unhappy.
Because the relationship between him and the eighth elder brother has always been the best, the age difference between the two is a little smaller than the fourth elder brother, and the eighth elder brother has a good temper, and he has been very tolerant of himself since before.
The fourteenth elder brother always thought that the eighth elder brother treated him better than the fourth elder brother, but now he was a little uncertain when he was told by Lao Li.
Lao Li saw that his face was unhappy, so he smiled and comforted him: "These are just my random guesses, and they may not be right. Maybe there is a new store in the city, and I didn't notice it. Or maybe your brother is in the city. After shopping around, I couldn’t find anything delicious, so I thought you would like this dim sum, so I bought them all. Not to mention, your brother is still very generous.”
The price of such a few large food boxes of snacks is quite unbelievable. I bought so many on purpose, it must be to distribute to the veterans, which shows that this brother attaches great importance to him.
Brother Fourteen still nodded sullenly and said: "Brother Ba is tight, but Brother Ninth is very good at doing business. Maybe the two of you have recently partnered to do business together."
Lao Li's eyes flickered when he heard this. The brothers in the same family, one rich and the other poor, and they wanted to do business together. Obviously, so many brothers might not necessarily be the same mother.
But big families are like this, and he didn't investigate further, just smiled and said: "That's right, I'll spend it for you if I make money, so it can be seen that I'm still a good brother."
Brother Fourteen nodded, and put the matter behind him, washed his hands and ate two pieces of snacks.
He used to like to drink dim sum with tea, but now he dislikes the sweet and greasy, and he still can't satisfy his hunger after eating, the dim sum is only small, one bite at a time, and he ate several in a blink of an eye, but his stomach doesn't feel anything.
Lao Li didn't stretch out his hand after eating two, his mouth was full of sweet and greasy.
Elder Fourteen silently poured two glasses of water, and the two of them faced each other to finish the drinking before suppressing the sweetness.
Lao Li saw that the half-grown children in front of him had the aura of a nobleman when they first arrived, and now they are almost like soldiers and ruffians like them, without any sense of disobedience, so he asked: "Is your brother here?" The one who picked you up didn't mean staying here for a month, it's about time."
Elder Fourteen shook his head and said: "I won't go back for now, and we will face each other later. We are a team, how can we be without me!"
They are all divided into teams. He is going back to the palace, so Lao Li's team will lose one person. Wouldn't it be unfair to lose?
The team has practiced for so long, and lost because of the lack of one of them. Isn't the previous training in vain?
Lao Li couldn't help being funny, he reached out and patted Brother Fourteen on the shoulder and said, "My good boy, I was worried just now that you followed your brother back directly, and we would lose one person."
Elder Fourteen smiled: "It's agreed to win, how can I back down?"
He was a little regretful that he didn't make it clear to the eighth elder brother just now, and the eighth elder brother went back angrily, wondering if he had made it clear to the emperor.
Elder Fourteen thought about it, and in the middle of the night, he went to the latrine and looked around to see if there was no one around, so he called softly, "Are you there? Are you there?"
There was no response from any voice around him, and he wondered if he was wrong.
Occasionally, Elder Fourteen would feel that someone was staring at him, but there was no one else around.
Later, he thought about it, the emperor probably would not really let him be alone in the Xi Daying, there should be someone by his side, who would come out to protect him when he was in danger.
Brother Fourteen didn't care before, since he didn't do anything wrong anyway, the dark guard just stared at him.
At this time, he was going to let the hidden guard send a message to the emperor, so he came out in the middle of the night to look for him, but he couldn't find anyone, so he whispered: "Tell Ama, I plan to go back after participating in the battle in the Western Camp. The team has to win to go home.”
Even if he was outside, Elder Fourteen was still cautious and didn't call Huang Ama and return to the palace.
There was still no sound around, he rubbed his head and yawned, but went back to sleep.
Anyway, if I worked hard, it would be great if the emperor received it. If I couldn't receive it, there would be nothing Elder Fourteen could do.
The eighth elder brother had been sulking for a long time on the road. He only felt that the fourteenth elder brother was taught badly by those veterans when he went to Xidaying, and he was not as obedient as before.
After returning to the palace, he adjusted his expression, and when reporting to the emperor, he said: "Huang Ama, I am ashamed that I failed to bring my fourteenth brother back."
The emperor had known for a long time that it was easy for the fourteenth elder brother to send it out, but it was difficult to get it back, so he was not surprised. He just waved his hand and said, "It's okay, just go and pick it up next time. This kid is so happy to be in Xidaying."
He asked about it almost every day, knowing that Elder Fourteen was doing well in Xidaying.
The rules in the palace are very restrictive, he has stayed in Xidaying for a long time, and the fourteenth elder brother really has a wild heart.
Seeing that the emperor didn't blame him, the eighth elder brother secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and said hesitantly: "Ama Huang, when my son passed by, the fourteenth brother was cleaning the stables."
It's unbelievable that the dignified prince was actually sent to clean the stables!
The emperor knew about this a long time ago, and he took a look at Brother Ba and said, "Since he has entered the Xi Daying Camp, what other soldiers do, Fourteen will naturally do, there are no exceptions."
Since the fourteenth elder brother hid his identity and entered the Western Camp, and ate and slept with the veterans, why couldn't he do what the veterans did?
The emperor was a little distressed when he heard it, but he also felt that the decision of the fourteenth elder brother to go to Xidaying was right, and the half-child has become much more sensible, and he also knows that he loves the veteran who treats him well, helping to clean the stables, Not at all bitter or tired.
Before the fourteenth elder brother shouted that he wanted to be a general, the emperor listened to it and responded with a smile.
Seeing him working hard to practice with the veterans now, sweating profusely in the winter, and joining the team to practice against each other, he has become much stronger.
Not to mention that Brother Fourteen knows how to humbly ask these veterans for advice. The veterans survived on the battlefield, and they are not so powerful. He will benefit from lifelong learning a little.
The emperor stroked his beard and said, "Okay, I know you love Shishi dearly, so just pick him up later."
Hearing this, the eighth elder brother had no choice but to back off, wondering for a while whether the fourteenth elder brother had fallen out of favor with the emperor, and the emperor didn't show any special expression when he heard the fourteenth elder brother cleaning the stables?
On the way out of the imperial study, he met the fourth elder brother, and sighed: "I failed to pick up the fourteenth brother, he refused to come back."
The fourth elder brother nodded and said, "I'll trouble my eighth brother to make this trip."
Eighth Brother frowned and said, "When I passed by today, the Fourteenth Brother was actually cleaning the stables, and the people in Xi Daying were a bit too much."
The fourth elder brother glanced at him and said: "The stables are full of war horses, and they have the highest status in Xi Daying."
So what happened to Brother Fourteen cleaning the stables? Isn't this what it should be? 】
Even the fourth elder brother now brushes, bathes and feeds his steed from time to time, otherwise how can he keep in tune with the horse when hunting, and he can't hold his feet temporarily. Can the steed understand his thoughts?
The eighth elder brother was speechless. Is the fourth elder brother the real brother of the fourteenth elder brother? At this time, shouldn't you feel sorry for the little fourteenth?
The fourth elder brother said again: "The fourteenth brother said that if he wants to be a general, he must get along with war horses. It's good to learn a little bit now."
The eighth elder brother felt that the fourth elder brother was talking to death, so he could only forcefully smile and said: "I just feel sorry for the fourteenth brother, he is only a little older, and he has to clean the stables alone in the winter."
After finishing speaking, he slipped away on the pretext that he had something to do, for fear that the fourth elder brother would say something astonishing again and make himself unable to continue.
After sending off the fourth elder brother, the eighth elder brother met the ninth elder brother who rushed over in a hurry, grabbed himself and asked, "Myna, have you seen the fourth elder brother?"
The eighth elder brother nodded and said: "I just met the fourth brother, he has left the palace."
Brother Nine showed a regretful expression: "I haven't met Fourth Brother again, why did he walk so fast?"
The eighth brother was surprised: "Didn't the ninth brother say to talk to the fourth brother before, how long has it been, and haven't talked about it yet?"
"Don't mention it, last time I specifically told Huang Ama to go out of the palace and go to the fourth brother's house to talk, but the negotiation failed, and then the fourth brother kept avoiding me, and I couldn't leave the palace casually."
The ninth elder brother showed envy to the eighth elder brother: "When can I go out of the palace to build a mansion, then I don't have to catch fourth brother everywhere in the palace every day."
The eighth elder brother smiled and said: "You are still young now, you will be fine in a few years."
Brother Jiu was depressed, feeling that he couldn't wait any longer, so he ran to the imperial study to find the emperor, wanting to leave the palace again.
The emperor was surprised: "Xiao Jiu, why do you always go out and always go to Lao Si's side?"
Ninth elder brother said that he wanted to do business with fourth elder brother: "It didn't work out last time, and fourth elder brother hid from his son and left again. I really couldn't wait, so I had to come to ask again."
The emperor was delighted when he heard it: "I am the fourth child and I have to avoid you, [-]%, you can speak."
Brother Nine murmured: "Isn't Erchen planning to talk higher first, and then bargain with fourth brother."
Who knew that the fourth elder brother didn't play cards according to common sense at all, he didn't agree or refuse, and just left himself alone!
It's going to go crazy if you make Brother Jiu so hard!
The emperor sneered and said: "You deserve it, the fourth brother is also too good-tempered, and he didn't kick you out on the spot, which is enough to give you face as a younger brother. If you change to someone with a more violent temper, such as the boss, you think you can get rid of the whole body." Are you standing here?"
Ninth elder brother's expression was so embarrassing. If he was really facing eldest elder brother, how could he dare to raise [-]% from the beginning, and it would be good if he didn't get beaten up!
"There, the minister came to apologize, let the fourth brother think about it again, and the minister can let it go!"
The emperor waved his hand, feeling that there was no reason to talk to this son: "Go, go, talk to the fourth child, or don't go."
Ninth elder brother thanked quickly, and then Ma slipped out of the palace to find fourth elder brother.
The fourth elder brother was not surprised to hear that the ninth elder brother was here again, so he asked Su Peisheng to invite people in to sit down, and there were two plates of jujube paste and yam cakes from the kitchen.
Knowing that the fourth elder brother doesn't like sweets, Chef Ma added a little sugar, which is the most suitable to drink with hot tea.
Brother Jiu sat down and took a bite, then nodded and said: "The dim sum here is really good, my brother is here to bother you again! After talking with fourth brother last time, I think it's a bit too much, how about [-]%?" ?”
Seeing his eyeballs rolling around, full of bad ideas, the fourth elder brother smiled and said: "No."
Brother Jiu choked for a moment: "Then [-]%?"
Seeing that the fourth elder brother was drinking tea, he gritted his teeth and said, "That's [-]%, no less!"
The fourth elder brother still laughed: "No way!"
Brother Nine was stupefied: "Fourth brother, don't bring this kind of one, will you only give the younger brother [-]%?"
Who knew that the fourth elder brother would shake his head: "Not at all."
Nine elder brothers almost jumped up, stared wide-eyed and said: "Fourth brother, is this planning to make younger brother a freelancer?"
The fourth elder brother raised his hand and pressed down, signaling him to be calm and not to be impatient, and sat down first, then said: "Why, I never planned to make the ninth brother suffer, I just wanted to change the way of cooperation."
Only then did Brother Jiu sit down again and said, "Then fourth brother, tell me, what is the rule for this new cooperation?"
The fourth elder brother smiled and said: "I know that the ninth brother has friendship with the imported goods store, what does the ninth brother think of selling Yurong ointment to them?"
Ninth elder brother raised his eyebrows, very surprised, and a little complacent: "It's not that my younger brother is bragging, I have some friendship with the shopkeeper and the owner of the imported goods store, of course it's okay to help fourth brother sell to them, then how do we divide?"
He looked over with bright eyes, thinking that the fourth elder brother planned to let him sell Yurong paste to Western countries, so it would be appropriate to take a price difference by pressing it down and adding money before reselling it.
After all, if you sell a lot, you will get a lot of money back!
The fourth elder brother nodded and said: "There is such a plan, but the price I give to the ninth brother is the selling price of the store plus [-]%."
Ninth elder brother really jumped up this time, he thought he was already a profiteer, but now he finds that fourth elder brother is the most powerful one!
"Fourth brother, if you sell mine, you will get [-]% more, and if you sell it to an imported product store, you will have to pay more, so what else do you earn?"
Brother Nine would never do such a thing as a white worker, and said angrily: "Fourth brother doesn't want to cooperate with the younger brother, forget it, and deliberately increase the price, isn't this just playing tricks?"
The fourth elder brother explained: "The ninth brother sent someone to my shop and knew that the supply of Yurong ointment is in short supply. Although manpower has been recruited, there is not enough space, and the number of daily production is not much. Keeping close to the scheduled customers, the rest It can only be placed on the shelf of the shop. It has been several days since the door has not been opened, and it is not easy to squeeze out a little money to give to Jiudi, and it will be troublesome to let others know later."
"If they know that I have allocated a portion of Yurong ointment to Jiudi, will they all come to ask for it? I know that Jiudi is best at doing business, so I want to cooperate with you alone, and I don't plan to work with others. Do it. And I believe that according to the ability of the ninth brother, it is also possible to sell it to the imported goods store for double the price."
Brother Jiu was praised so that the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and he quickly tried to restrain himself.
Who said that elder brother Si is a boring gourd and can't talk, it doesn't mean that he is a little moved!
But brother Jiu is a businessman, how can he suffer, so he began to bargain: "[-]% is too much, why can't fourth brother lower it? Even if the threshold is set, it is too high."
The fourth elder brother laughed and said: "Why, does Jiudi not believe that he can double the price and sell it? If so, I only need to add [-]% and the remaining [-]% will be Jiudi's. Fan, it's all yours too."
As long as Brother Nine has the ability to double the price and sell it directly, he won't ask any questions.
Brother Jiu couldn't help being moved by these words, he hesitated and said, "Then I'll go back and think about it, and I'll reply to Fourth Brother in a few days."
The fourth elder brother nodded, and suddenly said: "It's okay to wait a few days, the ninth brother can think about it slowly. The matter in the yard is not in a hurry. Although we have found the manpower, it is not a few days away."
Ninth elder brother suddenly thought that his yards had not been given to fourth elder brother, so he didn't look for other places at all, and the production of Yurong ointment was still slow, no wonder there was still a long queue at the door of the shop every day!
He gritted his teeth and said, "That matter should not be delayed, and I can't keep delaying the fourth brother's business, the matter is settled like this."
The real brothers also settled accounts clearly, and Brother Nine also made a contract, and the two took turns signing their names in duplicate, and the cooperation was finalized.
Brother Jiu looked at the contract and frowned and said: "Since we have cooperated, I will not be hypocritical. I will sell those yards to the fourth brother at the price I bought at the beginning. The fourth brother will see how to let people in, and start making Yurong ointment as soon as possible." .”
Otherwise, if there is nothing, why would he sell it!
The fourth elder brother raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect the ninth elder brother to suddenly become so generous. Didn't he only rent and not sell before?
Brother Nine was uncomfortable seeing him, and said awkwardly: "The location of that yard was indeed good, but now that there is Brother Si's shop there, other people couldn't do any business in the past, and it would be embarrassing to keep it. "
He was in business before, and for the sake of being the ninth elder brother, everyone was willing to give it whatever price they wanted.
Now that the two of them are working together, brother Jiu didn't continue to take Joe, and asked the attendant to bring all the title deeds after touching his nose: "The title deeds of the yard are here, fourth brother can take a look."
The fourth elder brother only glanced at it before nodding his head and said: "I can trust the ninth brother, so there is no need to look at it. But the price you bought before is not suitable. After all, the ninth brother has sent someone to clean it from time to time this year, and it needs to be bothered. "
In the end, he gave a suitable price, which was neither too low nor too high, and it was exactly on the line that brother Jiu expected.
Ninth elder brother was puzzled, everyone said that he was talented in business, and now it seems that the fourth elder brother who is usually quiet is the most powerful!
The fourth elder brother is shrewd, probably he has already inquired about it a long time ago, so he is waiting here.
However, he is kind and kind, even if he doesn’t suffer, he doesn’t take advantage of others, and he won’t be stingy with what he should give. It’s good for such a person to be a business partner, because he doesn’t have to worry about whether the fourth elder brother is calculating him behind his back, and he is worried every day. .
Brother Jiu rubbed his nose in embarrassment again, and said in a low voice, "Fourth brother, I shouldn't have opened my mouth like a lion and asked for prices."
He was highly praised by other businessmen before, and thought that he was really good, and that he could do business without any disadvantages. Now that he thought about it, it was because those businessmen didn't dare to offend his elder brother and wanted to build a relationship with him, so they took advantage of him and gave money to him. ?
Brother Jiu took it seriously, thinking that he was so powerful that these businessmen who had been in business for many years had to be convinced, but now that he thinks about it, he is the fool who was coaxed!
The fourth elder brother smiled and said: "It's good for the ninth brother to know what's going on in his heart. Let your own people give way, and it's okay for outsiders to be harsh."
Brother Nine blinked and said with a smile: "Fourth brother is right."
Soon he changed to a mournful look, and looked over eagerly: "Then fourth brother, can you give up a little bit, [-]% is too high!"
The fourth elder brother also smiled and said: "No way! As soon as the contract is written in black and white, the ninth brother is ready to go back on his word?"
Ninth elder brother was dejected, thinking that he had cooperated with fourth elder brother now, and he was a little closer than before.
But if the fourth elder brother really backs down and backs down, the ninth elder brother will feel unhappy in his heart. Does that mean he looks down on people?
Ninth elder brother angrily ate all the snacks on the plate, leaving none for fourth elder brother, and then left.
Before leaving, he did not forget to tell him again and again: "Fourth brother, the yard has been tidied up, and people can go in and start working today. Don't delay, start now!"
The fourth elder brother nodded in good temper: "Okay, I understand."
Ninth brother turned around every three steps, finally left, and then rushed back to the palace, just happened to meet eighth brother, he danced and said: "Mynah, I have a talk with fourth brother!"
The eighth brother was surprised when he heard it: "fourth brother promised you?"
With such an outrageous share, did the fourth elder brother actually nod?
Brother Nine shook his head and said, "The talk is over. It's a little different from before. Anyway, I've made a deal."
After he finished speaking, he happily returned to the palace, ready to think about how to trick the shopkeeper and owner of the imported goods store into buying Yurong Ointment at a high price, so there is no need to be polite to this outsider.
The higher the selling price is, the more he will earn. Brother Jiu is really flattered.
He left in a hurry, leaving the eighth brother who was standing still with a dazed face on his face. On the way home, he repeatedly thought about how the fourth brother would agree to the outrageous request of the ninth brother, and immediately regretted not arresting the ninth brother to ask him carefully. .
I couldn't get the answer, so I could only ask Ninth Brother tomorrow, and Eighth Brother was restless all night, it was so uncomfortable to scratch my heart and lungs!
When the next day was about to go to court, the eighth elder brother went to ask the ninth elder brother, and learned that the ninth elder brother not only sold the yard to the fourth elder brother at a slightly higher price, but also willing to use the fourth elder brother's price [-]% higher. Come to buy goods, I suspect that this brother's brain is flooded!
Ninth brother, wake up, before the lion opened his mouth and asked for [-]%, why suddenly he was willing to give [-]% more to the fourth elder brother, was the fourth elder brother poured some ecstasy soup?
The eighth elder brother was in a very complicated mood, and couldn't help asking: "If the ninth brother is like this, won't he be at a disadvantage?"
Brother Nine shook his head and said: "Brother, you don't understand, brother four has affirmed my ability and knows that I can sell at a higher price. And if I really want to buy at the original price, those who can't buy it will be bought one by one. Begging to come to the door, won't you cause trouble for the fourth brother? Anyway, even if I buy [-]% more, I can sell twice as much!"
His chin was raised high, and the eighth elder brother looked at the ninth elder brother with more complicated eyes. He couldn't help but reach out and touch the forehead of a younger brother. Don't you have a fever and burn your brain?
In the past, Brother Nine looked quite shrewd, why did he suddenly become so stupid?
Ninth Brother was touched by Eighth Brother, so he grabbed his hand and said, "Mynah, don't you believe me?"
He looked up at himself, can Eighth Brother not nod?
"Of course I believe in the ability of the ninth brother, but I was a little surprised at the moment." The eighth elder brother didn't know how to answer the words, but felt tired. Anyway, if the ninth elder brother suffers a loss this time, he can learn a lesson, and he can't do it again in the future. Continue to do business with the fourth elder brother!
Brother Nine patted his heart and said: "Don't worry, Brother Ba, I will earn back the money I gave out soon."
He thought that the fourth elder brother was quite good, and he only needed to pay half of the payment for the goods. He would fill in the rest of the money after he got the Yurong Ointment and sold it all. How much he believed in his younger brother!
It just so happens that the money from selling the yard is not needed for the time being, the ninth elder brother will put it on the fourth elder brother's side first, and after taking the Yurong ointment and selling it later, it is enough to refund more and make up less!
Nine elder brothers went to the imperial study to look for the emperor again, wanting to leave the palace.
"Huang Ama, my son is going to help fourth brother do business and sell it to those Westerners. Although Yurong Gao is not available yet, let them tell them first, put a bait, and it will be easy to sell it later."
First draw a big cake for these Westerners, and watch them scratching their hearts and lungs waiting for something. The longer they wait, the more they look forward to it, and the deal will be much easier!
The emperor was surprised, he never thought that the two brothers, whose temperaments were completely different, would actually cooperate and do business together in the end?
The emperor must still be a little worried if brother Jiu said to do big business with Westerners alone.
But with the fourth elder brother here, he felt more at ease.
Knowing that he couldn't trap Brother Nine, who was a monkey who was looking for money, the emperor let him go out of the palace with a wave of his hand.
Brother Nine slipped out of the palace and asked his attendants to invite the shopkeeper of the imported goods store to the largest restaurant for dinner.
He is a shareholder of this restaurant, and has reserved the largest private room, so he can go there anytime.
The confidant servant asked strangely: "Master, why do you only invite the shopkeeper, and not the owner?"
Brother Jiu smiled slightly: "Of course we have to separate
Even if the emperor asked General Tudor not to take care of Brother Fourteen, it was impossible for him to ignore him at all, so he asked his confidants to wander around the neighborhood from time to time.
Who knew that the confidant disappeared for a while, and the fourteenth brother ran to clean the stables?
The confidant quickly sent someone to ask: "General, this was originally the work of the soldiers in the same house."
General Tude thought to himself, Brother Fourteen is he being bullied?
The eighth elder brother frowned, also worried that the fourteenth elder brother would be bullied, and wanted to go in with his things to find someone.It's a pity that he was stopped by the guards, so he could only wait at the door for someone to come in and ask Brother Fourteen to come out.
The fourteenth elder brother came out after cleaning the stables, and heard from the veteran that his elder brother was coming again at the door, so he only washed his hands, and went there before changing clothes. Seeing the eighth elder brother waiting at the door, he was very surprised and said: "My elder brother, so It is you?"
The eighth elder brother came up with snacks alone and was so tired that he was dying, he was puzzled when he heard it: "Why, it's not me, who does the fourteenth brother think, fourth brother?"
Elder Fourteen really nodded and said: "Yes, Fourth Brother brought me something last time, including food and clothing. What did Starling bring me?"
The eighth elder brother thought that the fourth elder brother was quite considerate, so he handed it over: "It's a snack, and the fourteenth brother can share it with others. Then clean it up, and we'll go back."
Instead of using "I" but "we", Elder Fourteen glanced at him and said, "Didn't Fourth Brother tell Starling? I don't plan to go back anytime soon."
The eighth elder brother only thought that what he said was angry, and patiently comforted him: "Huang Ama is thinking about the fourteenth brother. If you don't go back for a month, Huang Ama thought you were angry with him. And it's been so long , Empress Concubine De is also thinking about my fourteenth brother."
Elder Fourteen shook his head and said, "I'm pretty good here, and I'm very experienced. I can know a lot of things, and the veterans take good care of me. Go back and tell Huang Ama that I want to spend more time here. Stay for a while, learn more and then return to the palace."
The eighth elder brother was anxious: "What can I learn here, isn't it enough for the fourteenth brother to stay here for a month?"
He didn't think that the fourteenth brother really wanted to stay and study, and what could he learn from those vulgar veterans, how could he learn to swear?
Elder Fourteen said: "The veterans know a lot. Some of them have been scouts, some have been forwards, and some have been alone. They have escaped death, and those who can survive are still alive and kicking, that is all their ability."
These are all experiences gained by fate, if the fourteenth elder brother didn't get to know them well, the veterans might not be willing to share them.
The fourteenth elder brother has a sweet mouth, and everyone calls him brother and brother. The veterans see that he is young and young, and they are willing to take more care of him.
In particular, he was very flattering, saying "great" on the left, "heroic" on the right, and "a hero" on the right. The veterans were coaxed into joy and were willing to talk more about the past.
They are familiar with each other, so it's meaningless to say this, and no one will support them. People outside will only say that they are soldiers and rough people, and they may even laugh at them for bragging.Now that there is a young fourteenth brother, it is different.
And Elder Fourteen looked at them full of admiration and admiration, and the veterans were also very proud.
Among them, Lao Li took the most care of the fourteenth elder brother. Knowing that he was not born in an ordinary way, he might not be used to it. The beds were all the cleanest ones he found. Indecent veterans crowded.
It's the best location next to the kitchen, and it's very warm at night.
The other veterans also let the youngest one in. Brother Fourteen may not be used to it at first, but after a long time, he can feel that these rough-looking but delicate and thoughtful veterans take care of themselves like the eldest brother, and gradually get close to them.
So the fourteenth elder brother saw at a glance that the eighth elder brother disapproved and even disapproved of those veterans, and felt a little uncomfortable: "Mynah, they treat me very well and teach me a lot."
The eighth elder brother said: "They treat you well, will they let you clean the stables alone? Fourteenth brother, you are young and don't know that people outside are sinister and easy to be deceived..."
Brother Fourteen interrupted him and said: "Brother, they didn't ask me to clean it, I took the initiative to help. This was originally Brother Li's job. His old injury recurred, and his hands and feet hurt badly. I told him to lie down and rest. , to help clean up here. With such a small space, I can finish it by myself, why ask other people to do it together?"
In winter, the stables are actually not smelly. When he first came here, he didn't dare to go near the stables, thinking it was too dirty.
It was Lao Li who said to the fourteenth brother: "Don't look down on these horses, they are all about to become good. It is clear who treats them well and who treats them badly. When they go to the battlefield, the horses It is your right hand and right arm, and a spiritual war horse can lead you to survive."
Not to mention being good to the horses, the people of Xi Daying almost worshiped these war horses as their ancestors.I don't have a bite to eat, so I have to feed the war horse well.
To treat these horses badly, they can throw people off the ground during training, or they won't let people get on the horses at all.
The fourteenth elder brother wanted to learn riding and archery in the palace, and the horses were better than the other, so he didn't believe it.
But after a few days of riding and archery training, he was taught a lesson by these war horses.
The others quickly selected their horses, and only Brother Fourteen walked around, but none of the fine horses let him approach.
Brother Fourteen was speechless. Are these horses really smart?
Lao Li laughed loudly at the side: "Just say that you treat it badly. If you haven't fed or bathed it, it won't talk to you, right?"
In the end, the fourteenth elder brother could only watch other people's horse riding training, not to mention how depressed he was.
But he tried for several days in a row, but the war horses still ignored him, so he could only ask Lao Li to feed the war horses with the others, clean their stables together, feed them a few meals of grain and grass, brush their backs and bathe them, and the horses naturally Then get close to yourself.
The fourteenth elder brother still didn't understand, so he asked Lao Li specifically, and the latter laughed: "The horses you used to have must have been trained by the servants, these horses don't have to go to the battlefield, so they are very obedient, let them go east. Go west. These war horses are different, if you want them to be obedient, you have to command the war horses when fighting against the enemy on the battlefield, how can it be possible to do both?"
So these war horses are different from those horses that only run in the paddock. They are strong and smart, and they don't just wait for the master's order to move.
Brother Fourteen suddenly realized that after taking good care of these horses for a few days, one of the maroon horses was finally willing to mount him. This made Brother Fourteen happy for several days, and he became more active in bathing and feeding the horses.
He was very satisfied, because these war horses were close to him not because of his identity as the fourteenth elder brother, but because of his hard work, so he was especially happy, and cleaning the stables was no longer a dirty and hard job.
The eighth elder brother didn't expect the fourteenth elder brother to refute himself, and felt that cleaning the stables was not a dirty job. The more he felt that this younger brother was being tricked by other veterans here!
If you don't bring him back, Elder Fourteen might have to give his heart and soul to the veterans!
"Okay, come back with me, it's not your turn to do this."
Seeing that the eighth elder brother was a little angry, his usual smiling face disappeared, and the fourteenth elder brother was very depressed. Why did he try to explain, but the eighth elder brother just couldn't listen?
"Brother, I really don't want to go back. Please tell Ama for me. I'll go back in another month, no, I'll go back in half a month." Knowing that he didn't tell the time, it would be difficult for the eighth brother to go back with the emperor. I confessed, so Elder Fourteen begged in a low voice.
The eighth elder brother shook his head and sighed, looking at the fourteenth elder brother, it was very difficult to bring this younger brother back today, so he could only say: "Okay, I will go back and tell Ahma, but Ahma may not let you get what you want .”
The fourteenth elder brother finally coaxed the eighth elder brother to leave, so he breathed a sigh of relief, took a few food boxes back, put one of them beside Lao Li and said: "This is the snack my brother brought over, you Try it."
He pidianpidian gave the other food boxes outside to share with others, and then came back again.
After Lao Li opened the food box, he was not in a hurry to eat, but waited for the fourteenth elder brother to come back. He glanced at the delicate food box and the pastries that were worth a lot of money inside, and raised his eyebrows and asked, "How about this?" It’s not your brother from last time, is it? How many brothers do you have?”
The fourteenth elder brother counted with his fingers: "I have thirteen older brothers, and there are younger brothers."
Hearing this, Lao Li nodded: "Your family is a big family, and it seems that the family is not short of money. But to be honest, your brother before is more realistic."
Elder Fourteen wondered: "Why is it true? Isn't it good to send so many pastries?"
Last time, the fourth elder brother only gave it to the fourteenth elder brother. At most, he sent a lot of small boxes of Yurong paste and a lot of dried meat to share with other veterans. This time, the eighth elder brother directly bought several large food boxes of snacks Let him share it with others.
Lao Li pointed at the pastry and said: "This pastry is really good-looking and delicious, but it is not easy to store. Although it is not easy to spoil in winter, it will freeze after one night. No matter how hard it is to eat tomorrow, it will not taste good. "
But the frozen soup and jerky sent by the fourth elder brother are really a lot. The jerky can be eaten directly, or thrown into the soup to cook.
Frozen soup is even better. Once the hot water is boiled, scoop a spoonful into it and cook for a while. It is delicious and rich. Put some vegetables or a little meat in it. Eat several.
Moreover, it is not bad at all in the winter, and you can eat it whenever you want. It is delicious when it is hot, which is more than the number of times that this pastry can really be eaten.
"And I remember correctly, this pastry shop is not far from the city gate. Your brother is probably going out of the city, so he remembered that he didn't bring you a gift, so he had to buy these at the city gate and bring them here."
It has to be said that Brother Fourteen knew that what Lao Li said might be right, so he lowered his head and pursed his lips a little unhappy.
Because the relationship between him and the eighth elder brother has always been the best, the age difference between the two is a little smaller than the fourth elder brother, and the eighth elder brother has a good temper, and he has been very tolerant of himself since before.
The fourteenth elder brother always thought that the eighth elder brother treated him better than the fourth elder brother, but now he was a little uncertain when he was told by Lao Li.
Lao Li saw that his face was unhappy, so he smiled and comforted him: "These are just my random guesses, and they may not be right. Maybe there is a new store in the city, and I didn't notice it. Or maybe your brother is in the city. After shopping around, I couldn’t find anything delicious, so I thought you would like this dim sum, so I bought them all. Not to mention, your brother is still very generous.”
The price of such a few large food boxes of snacks is quite unbelievable. I bought so many on purpose, it must be to distribute to the veterans, which shows that this brother attaches great importance to him.
Brother Fourteen still nodded sullenly and said: "Brother Ba is tight, but Brother Ninth is very good at doing business. Maybe the two of you have recently partnered to do business together."
Lao Li's eyes flickered when he heard this. The brothers in the same family, one rich and the other poor, and they wanted to do business together. Obviously, so many brothers might not necessarily be the same mother.
But big families are like this, and he didn't investigate further, just smiled and said: "That's right, I'll spend it for you if I make money, so it can be seen that I'm still a good brother."
Brother Fourteen nodded, and put the matter behind him, washed his hands and ate two pieces of snacks.
He used to like to drink dim sum with tea, but now he dislikes the sweet and greasy, and he still can't satisfy his hunger after eating, the dim sum is only small, one bite at a time, and he ate several in a blink of an eye, but his stomach doesn't feel anything.
Lao Li didn't stretch out his hand after eating two, his mouth was full of sweet and greasy.
Elder Fourteen silently poured two glasses of water, and the two of them faced each other to finish the drinking before suppressing the sweetness.
Lao Li saw that the half-grown children in front of him had the aura of a nobleman when they first arrived, and now they are almost like soldiers and ruffians like them, without any sense of disobedience, so he asked: "Is your brother here?" The one who picked you up didn't mean staying here for a month, it's about time."
Elder Fourteen shook his head and said: "I won't go back for now, and we will face each other later. We are a team, how can we be without me!"
They are all divided into teams. He is going back to the palace, so Lao Li's team will lose one person. Wouldn't it be unfair to lose?
The team has practiced for so long, and lost because of the lack of one of them. Isn't the previous training in vain?
Lao Li couldn't help being funny, he reached out and patted Brother Fourteen on the shoulder and said, "My good boy, I was worried just now that you followed your brother back directly, and we would lose one person."
Elder Fourteen smiled: "It's agreed to win, how can I back down?"
He was a little regretful that he didn't make it clear to the eighth elder brother just now, and the eighth elder brother went back angrily, wondering if he had made it clear to the emperor.
Elder Fourteen thought about it, and in the middle of the night, he went to the latrine and looked around to see if there was no one around, so he called softly, "Are you there? Are you there?"
There was no response from any voice around him, and he wondered if he was wrong.
Occasionally, Elder Fourteen would feel that someone was staring at him, but there was no one else around.
Later, he thought about it, the emperor probably would not really let him be alone in the Xi Daying, there should be someone by his side, who would come out to protect him when he was in danger.
Brother Fourteen didn't care before, since he didn't do anything wrong anyway, the dark guard just stared at him.
At this time, he was going to let the hidden guard send a message to the emperor, so he came out in the middle of the night to look for him, but he couldn't find anyone, so he whispered: "Tell Ama, I plan to go back after participating in the battle in the Western Camp. The team has to win to go home.”
Even if he was outside, Elder Fourteen was still cautious and didn't call Huang Ama and return to the palace.
There was still no sound around, he rubbed his head and yawned, but went back to sleep.
Anyway, if I worked hard, it would be great if the emperor received it. If I couldn't receive it, there would be nothing Elder Fourteen could do.
The eighth elder brother had been sulking for a long time on the road. He only felt that the fourteenth elder brother was taught badly by those veterans when he went to Xidaying, and he was not as obedient as before.
After returning to the palace, he adjusted his expression, and when reporting to the emperor, he said: "Huang Ama, I am ashamed that I failed to bring my fourteenth brother back."
The emperor had known for a long time that it was easy for the fourteenth elder brother to send it out, but it was difficult to get it back, so he was not surprised. He just waved his hand and said, "It's okay, just go and pick it up next time. This kid is so happy to be in Xidaying."
He asked about it almost every day, knowing that Elder Fourteen was doing well in Xidaying.
The rules in the palace are very restrictive, he has stayed in Xidaying for a long time, and the fourteenth elder brother really has a wild heart.
Seeing that the emperor didn't blame him, the eighth elder brother secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and said hesitantly: "Ama Huang, when my son passed by, the fourteenth brother was cleaning the stables."
It's unbelievable that the dignified prince was actually sent to clean the stables!
The emperor knew about this a long time ago, and he took a look at Brother Ba and said, "Since he has entered the Xi Daying Camp, what other soldiers do, Fourteen will naturally do, there are no exceptions."
Since the fourteenth elder brother hid his identity and entered the Western Camp, and ate and slept with the veterans, why couldn't he do what the veterans did?
The emperor was a little distressed when he heard it, but he also felt that the decision of the fourteenth elder brother to go to Xidaying was right, and the half-child has become much more sensible, and he also knows that he loves the veteran who treats him well, helping to clean the stables, Not at all bitter or tired.
Before the fourteenth elder brother shouted that he wanted to be a general, the emperor listened to it and responded with a smile.
Seeing him working hard to practice with the veterans now, sweating profusely in the winter, and joining the team to practice against each other, he has become much stronger.
Not to mention that Brother Fourteen knows how to humbly ask these veterans for advice. The veterans survived on the battlefield, and they are not so powerful. He will benefit from lifelong learning a little.
The emperor stroked his beard and said, "Okay, I know you love Shishi dearly, so just pick him up later."
Hearing this, the eighth elder brother had no choice but to back off, wondering for a while whether the fourteenth elder brother had fallen out of favor with the emperor, and the emperor didn't show any special expression when he heard the fourteenth elder brother cleaning the stables?
On the way out of the imperial study, he met the fourth elder brother, and sighed: "I failed to pick up the fourteenth brother, he refused to come back."
The fourth elder brother nodded and said, "I'll trouble my eighth brother to make this trip."
Eighth Brother frowned and said, "When I passed by today, the Fourteenth Brother was actually cleaning the stables, and the people in Xi Daying were a bit too much."
The fourth elder brother glanced at him and said: "The stables are full of war horses, and they have the highest status in Xi Daying."
So what happened to Brother Fourteen cleaning the stables? Isn't this what it should be? 】
Even the fourth elder brother now brushes, bathes and feeds his steed from time to time, otherwise how can he keep in tune with the horse when hunting, and he can't hold his feet temporarily. Can the steed understand his thoughts?
The eighth elder brother was speechless. Is the fourth elder brother the real brother of the fourteenth elder brother? At this time, shouldn't you feel sorry for the little fourteenth?
The fourth elder brother said again: "The fourteenth brother said that if he wants to be a general, he must get along with war horses. It's good to learn a little bit now."
The eighth elder brother felt that the fourth elder brother was talking to death, so he could only forcefully smile and said: "I just feel sorry for the fourteenth brother, he is only a little older, and he has to clean the stables alone in the winter."
After finishing speaking, he slipped away on the pretext that he had something to do, for fear that the fourth elder brother would say something astonishing again and make himself unable to continue.
After sending off the fourth elder brother, the eighth elder brother met the ninth elder brother who rushed over in a hurry, grabbed himself and asked, "Myna, have you seen the fourth elder brother?"
The eighth elder brother nodded and said: "I just met the fourth brother, he has left the palace."
Brother Nine showed a regretful expression: "I haven't met Fourth Brother again, why did he walk so fast?"
The eighth brother was surprised: "Didn't the ninth brother say to talk to the fourth brother before, how long has it been, and haven't talked about it yet?"
"Don't mention it, last time I specifically told Huang Ama to go out of the palace and go to the fourth brother's house to talk, but the negotiation failed, and then the fourth brother kept avoiding me, and I couldn't leave the palace casually."
The ninth elder brother showed envy to the eighth elder brother: "When can I go out of the palace to build a mansion, then I don't have to catch fourth brother everywhere in the palace every day."
The eighth elder brother smiled and said: "You are still young now, you will be fine in a few years."
Brother Jiu was depressed, feeling that he couldn't wait any longer, so he ran to the imperial study to find the emperor, wanting to leave the palace again.
The emperor was surprised: "Xiao Jiu, why do you always go out and always go to Lao Si's side?"
Ninth elder brother said that he wanted to do business with fourth elder brother: "It didn't work out last time, and fourth elder brother hid from his son and left again. I really couldn't wait, so I had to come to ask again."
The emperor was delighted when he heard it: "I am the fourth child and I have to avoid you, [-]%, you can speak."
Brother Nine murmured: "Isn't Erchen planning to talk higher first, and then bargain with fourth brother."
Who knew that the fourth elder brother didn't play cards according to common sense at all, he didn't agree or refuse, and just left himself alone!
It's going to go crazy if you make Brother Jiu so hard!
The emperor sneered and said: "You deserve it, the fourth brother is also too good-tempered, and he didn't kick you out on the spot, which is enough to give you face as a younger brother. If you change to someone with a more violent temper, such as the boss, you think you can get rid of the whole body." Are you standing here?"
Ninth elder brother's expression was so embarrassing. If he was really facing eldest elder brother, how could he dare to raise [-]% from the beginning, and it would be good if he didn't get beaten up!
"There, the minister came to apologize, let the fourth brother think about it again, and the minister can let it go!"
The emperor waved his hand, feeling that there was no reason to talk to this son: "Go, go, talk to the fourth child, or don't go."
Ninth elder brother thanked quickly, and then Ma slipped out of the palace to find fourth elder brother.
The fourth elder brother was not surprised to hear that the ninth elder brother was here again, so he asked Su Peisheng to invite people in to sit down, and there were two plates of jujube paste and yam cakes from the kitchen.
Knowing that the fourth elder brother doesn't like sweets, Chef Ma added a little sugar, which is the most suitable to drink with hot tea.
Brother Jiu sat down and took a bite, then nodded and said: "The dim sum here is really good, my brother is here to bother you again! After talking with fourth brother last time, I think it's a bit too much, how about [-]%?" ?”
Seeing his eyeballs rolling around, full of bad ideas, the fourth elder brother smiled and said: "No."
Brother Jiu choked for a moment: "Then [-]%?"
Seeing that the fourth elder brother was drinking tea, he gritted his teeth and said, "That's [-]%, no less!"
The fourth elder brother still laughed: "No way!"
Brother Nine was stupefied: "Fourth brother, don't bring this kind of one, will you only give the younger brother [-]%?"
Who knew that the fourth elder brother would shake his head: "Not at all."
Nine elder brothers almost jumped up, stared wide-eyed and said: "Fourth brother, is this planning to make younger brother a freelancer?"
The fourth elder brother raised his hand and pressed down, signaling him to be calm and not to be impatient, and sat down first, then said: "Why, I never planned to make the ninth brother suffer, I just wanted to change the way of cooperation."
Only then did Brother Jiu sit down again and said, "Then fourth brother, tell me, what is the rule for this new cooperation?"
The fourth elder brother smiled and said: "I know that the ninth brother has friendship with the imported goods store, what does the ninth brother think of selling Yurong ointment to them?"
Ninth elder brother raised his eyebrows, very surprised, and a little complacent: "It's not that my younger brother is bragging, I have some friendship with the shopkeeper and the owner of the imported goods store, of course it's okay to help fourth brother sell to them, then how do we divide?"
He looked over with bright eyes, thinking that the fourth elder brother planned to let him sell Yurong paste to Western countries, so it would be appropriate to take a price difference by pressing it down and adding money before reselling it.
After all, if you sell a lot, you will get a lot of money back!
The fourth elder brother nodded and said: "There is such a plan, but the price I give to the ninth brother is the selling price of the store plus [-]%."
Ninth elder brother really jumped up this time, he thought he was already a profiteer, but now he finds that fourth elder brother is the most powerful one!
"Fourth brother, if you sell mine, you will get [-]% more, and if you sell it to an imported product store, you will have to pay more, so what else do you earn?"
Brother Nine would never do such a thing as a white worker, and said angrily: "Fourth brother doesn't want to cooperate with the younger brother, forget it, and deliberately increase the price, isn't this just playing tricks?"
The fourth elder brother explained: "The ninth brother sent someone to my shop and knew that the supply of Yurong ointment is in short supply. Although manpower has been recruited, there is not enough space, and the number of daily production is not much. Keeping close to the scheduled customers, the rest It can only be placed on the shelf of the shop. It has been several days since the door has not been opened, and it is not easy to squeeze out a little money to give to Jiudi, and it will be troublesome to let others know later."
"If they know that I have allocated a portion of Yurong ointment to Jiudi, will they all come to ask for it? I know that Jiudi is best at doing business, so I want to cooperate with you alone, and I don't plan to work with others. Do it. And I believe that according to the ability of the ninth brother, it is also possible to sell it to the imported goods store for double the price."
Brother Jiu was praised so that the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and he quickly tried to restrain himself.
Who said that elder brother Si is a boring gourd and can't talk, it doesn't mean that he is a little moved!
But brother Jiu is a businessman, how can he suffer, so he began to bargain: "[-]% is too much, why can't fourth brother lower it? Even if the threshold is set, it is too high."
The fourth elder brother laughed and said: "Why, does Jiudi not believe that he can double the price and sell it? If so, I only need to add [-]% and the remaining [-]% will be Jiudi's. Fan, it's all yours too."
As long as Brother Nine has the ability to double the price and sell it directly, he won't ask any questions.
Brother Jiu couldn't help being moved by these words, he hesitated and said, "Then I'll go back and think about it, and I'll reply to Fourth Brother in a few days."
The fourth elder brother nodded, and suddenly said: "It's okay to wait a few days, the ninth brother can think about it slowly. The matter in the yard is not in a hurry. Although we have found the manpower, it is not a few days away."
Ninth elder brother suddenly thought that his yards had not been given to fourth elder brother, so he didn't look for other places at all, and the production of Yurong ointment was still slow, no wonder there was still a long queue at the door of the shop every day!
He gritted his teeth and said, "That matter should not be delayed, and I can't keep delaying the fourth brother's business, the matter is settled like this."
The real brothers also settled accounts clearly, and Brother Nine also made a contract, and the two took turns signing their names in duplicate, and the cooperation was finalized.
Brother Jiu looked at the contract and frowned and said: "Since we have cooperated, I will not be hypocritical. I will sell those yards to the fourth brother at the price I bought at the beginning. The fourth brother will see how to let people in, and start making Yurong ointment as soon as possible." .”
Otherwise, if there is nothing, why would he sell it!
The fourth elder brother raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect the ninth elder brother to suddenly become so generous. Didn't he only rent and not sell before?
Brother Nine was uncomfortable seeing him, and said awkwardly: "The location of that yard was indeed good, but now that there is Brother Si's shop there, other people couldn't do any business in the past, and it would be embarrassing to keep it. "
He was in business before, and for the sake of being the ninth elder brother, everyone was willing to give it whatever price they wanted.
Now that the two of them are working together, brother Jiu didn't continue to take Joe, and asked the attendant to bring all the title deeds after touching his nose: "The title deeds of the yard are here, fourth brother can take a look."
The fourth elder brother only glanced at it before nodding his head and said: "I can trust the ninth brother, so there is no need to look at it. But the price you bought before is not suitable. After all, the ninth brother has sent someone to clean it from time to time this year, and it needs to be bothered. "
In the end, he gave a suitable price, which was neither too low nor too high, and it was exactly on the line that brother Jiu expected.
Ninth elder brother was puzzled, everyone said that he was talented in business, and now it seems that the fourth elder brother who is usually quiet is the most powerful!
The fourth elder brother is shrewd, probably he has already inquired about it a long time ago, so he is waiting here.
However, he is kind and kind, even if he doesn’t suffer, he doesn’t take advantage of others, and he won’t be stingy with what he should give. It’s good for such a person to be a business partner, because he doesn’t have to worry about whether the fourth elder brother is calculating him behind his back, and he is worried every day. .
Brother Jiu rubbed his nose in embarrassment again, and said in a low voice, "Fourth brother, I shouldn't have opened my mouth like a lion and asked for prices."
He was highly praised by other businessmen before, and thought that he was really good, and that he could do business without any disadvantages. Now that he thought about it, it was because those businessmen didn't dare to offend his elder brother and wanted to build a relationship with him, so they took advantage of him and gave money to him. ?
Brother Jiu took it seriously, thinking that he was so powerful that these businessmen who had been in business for many years had to be convinced, but now that he thinks about it, he is the fool who was coaxed!
The fourth elder brother smiled and said: "It's good for the ninth brother to know what's going on in his heart. Let your own people give way, and it's okay for outsiders to be harsh."
Brother Nine blinked and said with a smile: "Fourth brother is right."
Soon he changed to a mournful look, and looked over eagerly: "Then fourth brother, can you give up a little bit, [-]% is too high!"
The fourth elder brother also smiled and said: "No way! As soon as the contract is written in black and white, the ninth brother is ready to go back on his word?"
Ninth elder brother was dejected, thinking that he had cooperated with fourth elder brother now, and he was a little closer than before.
But if the fourth elder brother really backs down and backs down, the ninth elder brother will feel unhappy in his heart. Does that mean he looks down on people?
Ninth elder brother angrily ate all the snacks on the plate, leaving none for fourth elder brother, and then left.
Before leaving, he did not forget to tell him again and again: "Fourth brother, the yard has been tidied up, and people can go in and start working today. Don't delay, start now!"
The fourth elder brother nodded in good temper: "Okay, I understand."
Ninth brother turned around every three steps, finally left, and then rushed back to the palace, just happened to meet eighth brother, he danced and said: "Mynah, I have a talk with fourth brother!"
The eighth brother was surprised when he heard it: "fourth brother promised you?"
With such an outrageous share, did the fourth elder brother actually nod?
Brother Nine shook his head and said, "The talk is over. It's a little different from before. Anyway, I've made a deal."
After he finished speaking, he happily returned to the palace, ready to think about how to trick the shopkeeper and owner of the imported goods store into buying Yurong Ointment at a high price, so there is no need to be polite to this outsider.
The higher the selling price is, the more he will earn. Brother Jiu is really flattered.
He left in a hurry, leaving the eighth brother who was standing still with a dazed face on his face. On the way home, he repeatedly thought about how the fourth brother would agree to the outrageous request of the ninth brother, and immediately regretted not arresting the ninth brother to ask him carefully. .
I couldn't get the answer, so I could only ask Ninth Brother tomorrow, and Eighth Brother was restless all night, it was so uncomfortable to scratch my heart and lungs!
When the next day was about to go to court, the eighth elder brother went to ask the ninth elder brother, and learned that the ninth elder brother not only sold the yard to the fourth elder brother at a slightly higher price, but also willing to use the fourth elder brother's price [-]% higher. Come to buy goods, I suspect that this brother's brain is flooded!
Ninth brother, wake up, before the lion opened his mouth and asked for [-]%, why suddenly he was willing to give [-]% more to the fourth elder brother, was the fourth elder brother poured some ecstasy soup?
The eighth elder brother was in a very complicated mood, and couldn't help asking: "If the ninth brother is like this, won't he be at a disadvantage?"
Brother Nine shook his head and said: "Brother, you don't understand, brother four has affirmed my ability and knows that I can sell at a higher price. And if I really want to buy at the original price, those who can't buy it will be bought one by one. Begging to come to the door, won't you cause trouble for the fourth brother? Anyway, even if I buy [-]% more, I can sell twice as much!"
His chin was raised high, and the eighth elder brother looked at the ninth elder brother with more complicated eyes. He couldn't help but reach out and touch the forehead of a younger brother. Don't you have a fever and burn your brain?
In the past, Brother Nine looked quite shrewd, why did he suddenly become so stupid?
Ninth Brother was touched by Eighth Brother, so he grabbed his hand and said, "Mynah, don't you believe me?"
He looked up at himself, can Eighth Brother not nod?
"Of course I believe in the ability of the ninth brother, but I was a little surprised at the moment." The eighth elder brother didn't know how to answer the words, but felt tired. Anyway, if the ninth elder brother suffers a loss this time, he can learn a lesson, and he can't do it again in the future. Continue to do business with the fourth elder brother!
Brother Nine patted his heart and said: "Don't worry, Brother Ba, I will earn back the money I gave out soon."
He thought that the fourth elder brother was quite good, and he only needed to pay half of the payment for the goods. He would fill in the rest of the money after he got the Yurong Ointment and sold it all. How much he believed in his younger brother!
It just so happens that the money from selling the yard is not needed for the time being, the ninth elder brother will put it on the fourth elder brother's side first, and after taking the Yurong ointment and selling it later, it is enough to refund more and make up less!
Nine elder brothers went to the imperial study to look for the emperor again, wanting to leave the palace.
"Huang Ama, my son is going to help fourth brother do business and sell it to those Westerners. Although Yurong Gao is not available yet, let them tell them first, put a bait, and it will be easy to sell it later."
First draw a big cake for these Westerners, and watch them scratching their hearts and lungs waiting for something. The longer they wait, the more they look forward to it, and the deal will be much easier!
The emperor was surprised, he never thought that the two brothers, whose temperaments were completely different, would actually cooperate and do business together in the end?
The emperor must still be a little worried if brother Jiu said to do big business with Westerners alone.
But with the fourth elder brother here, he felt more at ease.
Knowing that he couldn't trap Brother Nine, who was a monkey who was looking for money, the emperor let him go out of the palace with a wave of his hand.
Brother Nine slipped out of the palace and asked his attendants to invite the shopkeeper of the imported goods store to the largest restaurant for dinner.
He is a shareholder of this restaurant, and has reserved the largest private room, so he can go there anytime.
The confidant servant asked strangely: "Master, why do you only invite the shopkeeper, and not the owner?"
Brother Jiu smiled slightly: "Of course we have to separate
