The swansong of the swansong

Chapter 46: Extremely Generous
"Fourth Master, you also know that I have thousands of subordinates, and we all have to make a living!" Suo Heli bent down, swore to the sky and complained.

As the saying goes, good things don't go out, bad things travel thousands of miles.

Everyone in and outside the palace knows that the Fourth Prince is mean and ungrateful.

However, what Suo Heli never expected was that the fourth brother said, "No more than 30%, I guarantee you will be fine."

Suoheli was stunned on the spot, staring at Lao Si blankly, as if he had never known him before.

"You little dog slave, have you learned all the rules?" The fourth brother couldn't help but blush, and in order to cover up his double standard, he deliberately cursed.

"I deserve to die. I actually mistakenly thought that it was Prince Kang Liang who was in person. I really deserve to die." Suo Heli opened his eyes and told lies, praising the fourth brother in a roundabout way as the late Prince Kang Jieshu.

Prince Kang Jieshu was the most trusted prince of the royal family by Emperor Kangxi. After his death, he was posthumously named "Liang", and was also known as Prince Kang Liang.

Yinyou glanced at Suoheli and knew in his heart that if this smooth-talking guy didn't have some real skills, he would never have been able to sit firmly on the throne of Langzhong of the Construction Department of the Imperial Household Department and would have been driven off the stage by his jealous enemies long ago.

It was clearly Yinyu's new house, but Yinyu had nothing to do with it.

The fourth brother did not ask Yinyou's opinion and directly ordered Suoheli to demolish a pavilion here, build a pavilion there, and it would be best to expand the lake surface.

Yinyou was deprived of the right to make decisions, but not only did he not have any opinion, he felt very comfortable.

The fourth brother is this kind of tough guy who is extremely protective of his own shortcomings.

In the era when Yinyou came, there was a proverb circulating among the people: Follow the young ones!
Hehe, following the fourth brother, who is a protective young man, you will have a bright future!

These days, there is no construction project of the Imperial Household Department that does not exceed budget.

Just as Suoheli said, if Kangxi didn't spend his private money, it would be a waste. If he spent it, it would be a waste too. Who wouldn't spend it?

At the beginning, when the Prince's Mansion was being built, the fourth brother was particularly excited and participated in almost the entire construction process of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, so he was an expert.

"Suoheli, no matter how much money you make, it's all your own business. But the house given to you by your fifteenth master cannot have any suspicion of exceeding the rules, understand?" The fourth brother smiled grimly and threatened openly, "If you dare to do something bad and try to cheat your fifteenth master, then even if you fly to the horizon, I will skin your entire family alive."

The hooligans in the alley said harshly in a timid way: Don’t run, wait for me!
Haha, this is nothing more than a joke in the market to show off one's wealth. Who would take it seriously?
However, Suo Heli must take the cruel words of the fourth brother seriously, because the fourth brother really has the ability to make him lose everything and leave him without a burial place!
"Fourth Master, I will watch over it personally and will not allow even the slightest accident to occur." When Suo Heliza expressed his determination, his legs went weak and he actually knelt on one knee on the floor.

Yinyou looked at Suoheli with interest. Every evil man has his own way. There is always something to conquer another. This guy is just a bully who only fears the strong and bullies the weak.

The fourth brother had a stern face all the time, and did not laugh at Suo Heli. He said calmly: "You should take care of yourself and leave."

"I'll take my leave." Suo Heli took three steps back before turning around and walking out the door.

Su Peisheng, who was outside the door, saw it clearly. Suo Heli took out a sweat towel from his sleeves and repeatedly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

The fourth brother’s nickname is the living devil. Su Peisheng knows it but he doesn’t dare to say it out loud.

Su Peisheng glanced at Wu Lin standing beside him. Well, it seemed that this boy didn't notice Suo Heli's embarrassment, and there was no abnormality on his face.

The servant was so calm, so one could imagine that the master behind him was extremely powerful! Su Peisheng felt an inexplicable fear in his heart, and secretly made up his mind: he must not provoke Yinyu.

After the fourth son had satisfied his desire to make decisions on state affairs, he teased Yinyu with a smile: "You are much better than I was back then. After I married your fourth sister-in-law, I lived in the prince residence in the palace for many years. After I was conferred the title of Beile, I moved out of the prince residence."

Yinyou knew the fourth brother very well and knew that he had other intentions.

The fourth brother said this definitely not because of the matter of granting a place to a prince, but the question of how to place Chun Ji in the future.

Let Chun Ji live outside the house all the time, just like a mistress with no status and no status, even worse than a concubine.

"Fourth brother, when the new house is built, I will take Chun Ji in first and give her a separate courtyard. In the future, if I have a title and she gives birth to a son for me, I will make her a concubine. When the opportunity is right, I will request to make her a concubine."

According to the rules of this dynasty, the principal wife and concubine wife of an emperor, prince or duke both need to be canonized by imperial decree and recorded in the royal jade book by the clan office.

Regardless of whether they were the principal wife or the concubine, they were all qualified to enter the palace alone to pay a visit to the Empress Dowager.

As for the title of concubine, it was just a nice name. In fact, concubine was not only not qualified to enter the palace, but at best was just a concubine.

The buying and selling of concubines is clearly stipulated in the laws of the Qing Dynasty.

"Isn't this a mess? She is nothing more than a lowly maid." The fourth brother said this, but in his heart he was very satisfied with Yinyou's attention and favor towards Chun Ji.

No matter how bad a man who is nostalgic is, he can't be that bad, right?

Yinyou ignored the fourth brother's insincere words. Anyway, the woman given by the fourth brother must be given a respectable status even if he gets tired of her in the future.

After spending a long time with the fourth brother, Yinyu gradually understood some of his characteristics.

The fourth brother is a typical person who is cold on the outside but warm on the inside, and has a clear distinction between love and hate.

Don’t be fooled by the fact that Lao Si always looks like a devil wherever he goes. This is just an act.

Yinyou knew that as long as he could stroke the fourth brother's hair and make him feel it from the bottom of his heart, the benefits that would follow would be countless.

Very early on, Yinyou grasped a truth: in a society ruled by man, being good at scheming people to stand on their side is a thousand times better than burying your head in work!
"Fifteenth brother, I know Suoheli well. He is good at judging people and trying to get the best out of them. If you don't teach him a lesson, he will definitely cut corners without restraint." The fourth brother sighed heavily, "Even Khan Ama knows the greed of the Ministry of Internal Affairs very well."

Yinyou could hear the hidden meaning in the fourth brother's words. Kangxi knew very well that the Imperial Household Department was greedy by nature, but he turned a blind eye and deliberately indulged them.

Well, the fourth brother was happy to indirectly criticize Kangxi’s so-called kindness in front of Yinyou, which shows that he really treated him as his own.

If he is not one of us, who would dare to give us such a big excuse?

"Yes, Khan Ama is still too lenient." Yinyou cleverly echoed the fourth brother's complaint.

Hehe, if we leave each other some gossip, no one will be afraid of being told on, and we can chat in peace!
