Chapter 440 My sons are short of money?
Mr. Ba replied with a smile, his face full of smiles.
Emperor Kangxi turned his attention to the Thirteenth Prince again.
Before Thirteen could say anything, Fourteenth said, "Father, I want silver. The more the better."
Emperor Kangxi frowned after hearing this and said, "Is it your turn? Let your Thirteenth Brother speak first."
The Thirteenth Master glanced at the Fourteenth Master and said silently, "Father, I want some silver too."
When Emperor Kangxi heard this, he frowned and asked, "Why, are you two short of money now?"
The Thirteenth Master shook his head and continued, "The Emperor has given me enough, but I think it would be better to ask for more money so that I can always find a place to spend it."
In his previous life, he was imprisoned in the mansion, and what he lacked most was money. It was then that he realized that poetry, books, wine and tea were not as real as real money. If possible, he would also like to make more money.
Emperor Kangxi didn't say anything after hearing this, but nodded and said, "I agree."
Fourteen's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Father, I'm really short of money. Could you give me a little more?"
Emperor Kangxi looked at him carefully and asked, "Why are you short of money?" Fourteenth Prince had the best food, clothing, and other necessities of any prince. Concubine De was reluctant to let him suffer even the slightest injustice, so why would he be short of money?
The Fourteenth Master said, "All expenses for food and drink require money, and my son wants money anyway."
Emperor Kangxi looked at Fourteen with a very unpleasant look and said, "I'll give it to you."
Fourteen said again: "Father, can you give it to me quickly? My son needs it right now."
Emperor Kangxi was silent for a moment, then glanced at Liang Jiugong and said, "Go get it for him now."
The Fourteenth Master was very happy now. He had been eating and drinking at Wenjiu's place all day long these days, and his money was almost spent.
With his mother not around, there was no one to support him. Now that he had more money, he gave it directly to Wenjiu and ordered a year's worth of food with him.
Thinking of this, the Fourteenth Master said, "Father, shall I go with him? I'm afraid they can't carry it."
Emperor Kangxi simply waved his hand and said, "Go everyone." He sent everyone away.
He left the Fourth Master alone and said, "Tell me, what do you want?"
Before the Fourth Master could say anything, Emperor Kangxi said directly, "It's not possible to warm the wine and ask for the title of Concubine Jin. The child hasn't been born yet, how can you promote it?
You usually do things properly, how come you can't even understand this?"
After hearing this, the Fourth Master said calmly, "Then give your son the title of a prince."
Emperor Kangxi slammed the table heavily. "I knew you were going to say this! Do you think it's appropriate to confer a title for no reason? What do your eldest and second brothers think?"
The Fourth Master fell silent. Emperor Kangxi glared at him and said, "Talk about something else."
Fourth Master: "...Then my son will need some money too."
If he didn't give her a title or a concubine, he would just give her some silver. Anyway, the girl would be happy to see the silver.
Emperor Kangxi heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this, but at the same time, he became curious again: "Are you short of money too?"
The Fourth Master nodded: "I'm not short of money, but I don't think it's too much."
It is normal for Thirteen to ask for money. His mother probably doesn't give him much money on a daily basis.
It seemed a little unusual that Fourteenth and Fourth asked for money.
Don't think he doesn't know that the fourth and ninth brothers are now doing business together and making a lot of money.
Fourteenth is the most precious treasure in Concubine De's heart. It would be strange if she was short of money on a normal day.
The Fourth Master said, "To answer the Emperor, I am not short of money, but I don't think it's too much."
Emperor Kangxi nodded after hearing this and said: "That is indeed true."
Then, the Fourth Master clasped his fists and said, "Father Your Majesty, I have some free time today. How about I go back first?"
Emperor Kangxi frowned and asked, "Why, is it difficult for you to talk to me?"
The Fourth Master shook his head: "Then will my son have a few more words with the Emperor?"
Emperor Kangxi looked at his behavior and waved his hand with a look of annoyance: "Get out of here!"
The Fourth Master clasped his fists and said, "Son, I'll take my leave." He disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Emperor Kangxi was in the house at the moment, looking out through the window. From a distance, he could see Fourteenth Prince happily holding the silver bills and running away with Thirteenth Prince, chatting and laughing.
Emperor Kangxi asked in confusion, "Little Fourteen is short of money recently?"
After hearing this, Liang Jiugong behind him subconsciously lowered his head almost to the ground.
Emperor Kangxi sensed something was wrong and looked at him with a raised eyebrow: "Why, you old man have become cunning now?"
Liang Jiugong immediately smiled and said, "Your Majesty, this... this servant also heard it from hearsay... this..."
"If you have something to say, just say it. Why are you hesitating?" Emperor Kangxi said with a frown.
Liang Jiugong immediately had a bitter look on his face and said, "I don't know much about it..."
"I forgive you and you are not guilty. Tell me what I have to say." Emperor Kangxi was in a very good mood today and was in the mood to ask Liang Jiugong.
After hearing this, Liang Jiugong said, "I heard that... Fourteenth Master has been spending all his money on food lately. I don't know if it's true."
Emperor Kangxi raised his eyebrows, remembering that Little Fourteen seemed to have said that food, clothing, housing, transportation and other things all require money.
"What do you mean? Do the people in the kitchen dare to accept his money?" Isn't this a joke?
Liang Jiugong forced a smile on his face: "Of course the people from the Imperial Kitchen wouldn't dare to accept it, but the Fourteenth Master doesn't eat much of the Imperial Kitchen's food these days. He eats with the Fourth Master almost every day."
Upon hearing this, Emperor Kangxi actually smiled and took a sip of his teacup. "Why? The Fourth Brother would ask for money from the Fourteenth Brother?"
I thought this was funny and shook my head.
Then, Liang Jiugong could only laugh dryly.
Emperor Kangxi looked at his expression and frowned: "Did the fourth brother collect the money?"
Liang Jiugong said dryly: "I heard that Miss Wen's food is sold for a fee..."
"Girl Wen?"
Emperor Kangxi thought to himself, this is quite new.
Which woman in the palace doesn't want to curry favor with these princes?
It would have been fine if this brat hadn't asked for money from others, but I didn't expect someone would actually dare to accept their money. Emperor Kangxi couldn't figure out Wen Jiu's intentions for a moment.
Seeing that His Majesty didn't seem very happy, Liang Jiugong immediately explained, "It seems that the prince didn't want the young lady to cook for him. After all, she is pregnant now. But the young lady's food is really delicious, so the princes used the money to ask the young lady to help cook."
Emperor Kangxi raised his eyebrows and said, "You mean, more than one person is spending money on food from Wen girl?"
Liang Jiugong was stunned, but finally nodded.
Emperor Kangxi thought for a moment, then suddenly asked, "Tell me, if I go to eat, will Miss Wen ask me for money?"
