Accumulate Wealth in Life

Qingchuan Story (36)

On the day when the fourth master held the tea party, the weather was fine. In the flower hall, there are pots of spring jasmine flowers with stretched branches, adding a bit of spring.

The tea is spring tea made by Lin Yutong himself. When the boiling water is poured into the tea bowl, the tea leaves will stretch. Like a four-leaf clover, it is rippling in the water, and the faint tea fragrance rises, which is really unique.

These masters are all experts in tea tasting, and they can't tell the difference between good and bad. Although this is not a tribute, nor is it a famous product, but this taste alone is very rare.

"Wonderful! Wonderful! Wonderful!" The third master recalled the aftertaste in his mouth, and then said: "Fourth, I always say that you like to eat alone, so it's not wrong to you." The implication is that it's so good Stuff, why didn't you take it out earlier and share it with your brothers.

The fourth master chuckled, "This is also what Fu Jin made this year. My brother, I tasted good, did I invite all the brothers over? A cup of tea, as long as the third brother doesn't feel bland."

"It turns out that the fourth sister-in-law made it herself!" The fifth master was very surprised, "This is fried now, but there must be fresh tea leaves. I'm afraid it won't work just from the south."

The fourth master nodded and said with a smile: "In the past two years, I asked someone to bring the seedlings of tea trees from the south and brought them back to the house as potted plants. Your sister-in-law has been raising them in the flower house, and they are doing well. It's just that the output is low, the former It has just been fried for two days, and the total is half a catty. I tasted good, so I asked everyone to come and taste it." It seems that this time it is just for drinking tea, and it has nothing to do with silver.

The eighth master laughed, "When it comes to living, the fourth brother is the most comfortable. None of us brothers have asked Fu Jin to serve him like this. Food, clothing and expenses, all have to worry about it. When you talk about this day, Just two words, exquisite.'"

After speaking, he glanced at Jiuye and waited for him to answer.

Jiu Ye laughed and nodded, but he didn't say any extra words of help.

The fifth master raised his eyebrows in surprise. Does Lao Jiu have a hearty eye? He should be relieved that he was not sold out.

Fourteen looked left and right, then put the tea cup on the table. Thinking of the agility that the fourth brother gave him money, he thought to himself that he was his own brother, but now he was in a difficult time. So he said: "Fourth brother, just in time to come over today, let's get down to business. We all know that you are embarrassed about the arrears of the household. Let's brothers, don't see the outside world. I'll take the money today. Give it to you directly, and forget about it."

The corners of the fourth master's mouth were slightly raised, and the old fourteenth was not considered stupid. He nodded and said, "It's okay." After speaking, he glanced at Su Peisheng, saw that Su Peisheng understood his meaning, and retreated, and said, "It just happened that a few adults from the household department came to discuss things today, which is a coincidence. Now, give it to them directly."

It turned out that even people were invited. It's just for reconciliation.

Fourteen smiled and said, "That's just right. The provincial one went to the Ministry of Housing and told others to see the joke."

This singing and harmony will finish today's matter.

Wherever the people from the household department are qualified to enter the flower hall, they wait outside. The masters sent the eunuchs who were with you, and got things done.

It only took a stick of incense to get close to two million taels of silver notes.

Several officials were holding the banknotes, quite trembling. The fourth master had already borrowed someone from the inner guard, and escorted the bank note back to the household.

The fourth master didn't mention the money, but the most difficult part of the money was collected just like that.

Desserts are placed on the table one after another, and they are all fruit snacks made from cans left over from last year. In spring, the fresh fruit has not yet come down. The stock is no longer fresh. Made with canned food, it has another taste.

Their brothers talked and laughed, as if today were really just for a tea party.

The two concubines in the Eighth Master's Mansion were both pregnant. He was also in good spirits at a happy event recently and had a good snack, so he thought of bringing it back to the two pregnant people to try it. He even took the initiative to ask the fourth master to ask for it, "...It tastes good to eat. If there is any, I have to be cheeky and ask the fourth brother to take some back home."

The fourth master was stunned for a moment and then said, "You don't need to see outsiders to eat a little. Even if you want to eat it every day, you can have it. It's just that you are not a person who likes desserts on weekdays, but now your appetite has changed."

Everyone was stunned, the fourth brother (fourth younger brother) still remembered the old eight's preferences. Looking at it this way, the desserts on this table are really a bit different.

There are two plates of dim sum on Lao Ba's table, one plate is a platter of various fruit snacks, and the other plate looks like shrimps are faintly bursting out of their skins, which should be salty. It's about taking care of his tastes.

Everyone looks at each other. The third master found that some dim sums in front of Lao Wu were wrapped with chopped almonds, while the ones in front of him were only wrapped with chopped sesame seeds and walnuts. This is knowing that I don't like almonds.

The fifth master looked in front of him, most of them were yellow peach flavored, and the others were one or two of each kind. He should have told himself to taste fresh ones and know what he liked to eat.

Turning his head to look again, seeing the difference on Lao Qi's table, he asked in surprise, "Why does Lao Qi like to eat flower cakes?"

The seventh master looked a little embarrassed, and the dessert in front of him really contained roses and chrysanthemums.

The tenth master shouted: "What's wrong with the flower cake? The master loves sweet-scented osmanthus cake. Today's dessert, a little sweet-scented osmanthus is added to the fruit, which is just right."

After speaking, he turned to look at Jiu Ye again, frowned and said, "Raisin and red dates? Jiu Ge actually likes to eat this?"

Jiuye's face turned red, "Go! What do you care about me?" Even the old ten didn't know his little hobby, but the fourth did. How many meanings does this have.

Fourteen glanced at the fourth master in surprise. This man not only knew his own hobbies, but also knew and remembered the hobbies of his brothers. After saying that, I took a sip of Twelve's dim sum and tasted the same. It looked the same on the outside, but the fillings inside were different. Brother Twelve has added honey to it. He took thirteen and tasted it, and it was actually packed with wine, which made his eyes suddenly light up.

They each took their snacks, but their hearts were a little different. In fact, it is rare to see someone as conscientious as the fourth. They learn from an early age not to reveal their preferences. Those who have not paid attention will not find these small details.

Thinking like this, it wasn't until they went back to their houses that they realized that the fourth child wasn't so annoying. The unpleasantness that had arisen because of his debt collection also dissipated.

"Master really has a good helper." Fourth Master sighed. In fact, how did he know such small details, but these were inquired by Lin Yutong and Fu Jin, when he was gossiping with the empresses in the palace. You don't need to know too much about these little preferences, just remember one or two. When used at critical times, it can work wonders. A brother who remembers his little hobbies will inevitably be tolerant in his heart. Just like this time, if you don't say anything, it will be more useful than many great truths.

Lin Yutong smiled and said, "Master only knows now."

The fourth master pulled Lin Yutong and said very emotionally: "Without you, things can't be so complete. I still thought that at least half of the people would be offended, but now I look at it, but I haven't even complained. It just goes away and stops. , and the matter was settled in a decent manner. Master is finally relieved. "

"Master, don't praise me like that. How much is this? Imperial clan, honor, minister, this is the big one." Lin Yutong didn't believe his sweet words.

The fourth master laughed, "You don't know that. As long as the brothers' affairs are handled properly, the emperor is happy. The rest of the people are just slaves, no matter how they deal with it, at least they don't have much to do with the emperor. This errand is originally an errand that does not seek merit but seeks no faults. The lord is upright in his heart, and he is not afraid of offending people to take this errand. The emperor is clear in his heart when he is dedicated to serving. There is no complaint among the brothers. , Is he complaining about others? No matter how much he complains, what will the emperor think? Even the debts of their own sons have been collected, why don't they pay them back? Dare to complain?"

"So, now, can you be considered to be able to show off your skills?" Lin Yutong asked.

Big show? Do not!

Fourth Master smiled and stopped talking.

Kangxi was outside the fortress, and rubbed his forehead with the fold in his hand.

Fourth, the matter is done neatly and neatly. First cut the knife on the prince, shock everyone, and tell them that this money is necessary. This way is right.

But just having the prince is not enough, because above the prince, the prince of Zhijun and the prince are still pressed. The disciples of the two parties, I am afraid that there is still no fear. In addition to the several houses that Jiangnan picked up, all the money owed on credit was spent on him as the emperor. In other words, his emperor is also a debtor. But no one dared to say that.

The fourth child's temper is a bit more serious. Further down, it is the Cao family and the Li family. It's really messed up on the bright side, but it's not easy to clean up.

It is impossible to recover all the money at one time. I asked the fourth child to do it first, just to let him use the thunder method to shock him. Invite the following people to see the determination of the court. They didn't dare to pay it back.

But next, using Thunder's methods will not only easily make people feel resentful, but also easily intensify conflicts. At that time, the money is still the same and may not be recovered.

Therefore, it is time to switch to someone with gentle methods and a well-rounded face to do the next thing.

And this candidate is none other than the old eight.

For these two sons, the fourth's means are too hard, and the eighth's methods are too soft. He often thought that if he could neutralize it, everything would be fine.

Looking at the old man now, it is a lot softer. If the old eighth can also be gentle and firm, then this time, it can really be regarded as a complete success.

The capital was waiting for the fourth master to come to ask for debts, but the fourth master only asked for the debts of the princes to be written off. But he never stepped out of the gate. Everyone couldn't understand the fourth master's mind.

This has been the case for several days in a row, making everyone even more nervous.

On this day, Yu came with a decree and gave it specifically to the fourth master. He praised him for his good work, and rewarded the fourth master with a garden, which he personally named 'Yuanmingyuan'. He also gave the Thirteenth Master a Huangzhuang as a reward. And in the imperial decree, it said that they missed the fourth master and the thirteenth master, and told them to hand over the matter to the eighth master, and then quickly rushed to the imperial front to see the driver.
