Zhu Men Ji Shi

Chapter 262
However, this incident was a blow to the Li family, but it was expected by Shen Yuechen. The Jia family and the Zhu family had always been at odds, and they had always wanted to add trouble to the Zhu family, and Tong Chuchu was undoubtedly a very good one. Chance.

For the sake of the Jia family's marriage, Zhu Feng lost his temper with his wife Li Shi. He usually keeps a low profile and rarely shows anger.

After Li Shi had been trained by him, she felt that she had nowhere to express the grievance in her heart, so she could only sit on the chair and wipe her tears with her head down.

Although Zhu Feng was annoyed, seeing her crying, he couldn't help frowning, stopped talking, flung his sleeves and left, purposely staying in the study for two nights.

Mrs. Zhu was also dissatisfied with Li Shi, but she didn't say anything serious.After all, when Li Shi accepted Tong Chuchu into the house, she herself nodded in agreement.So, this incident is not entirely Li Shi's fault.After all, Tong Chuchu was too scheming, and the Jia family had the ability to turn around loopholes.

However, compared to his wife and son, Mr. Zhu's reaction seemed calm.However, I was still extremely regretful, and when I recalled Tong Chuchu's charming and charming face, I felt itchy in my heart.

With that child's looks, she should never have married a fool, it was a waste of time, but unfortunately, I am already an old bone, and I can't take a bite of such fresh meat, I can only bear it. endured.

As the juniors in the family, Zhu Jintang and Zhu Jinlun naturally had to listen to the elders.Since the old man's attitude is that one thing more is worse than one thing less, then the two of them naturally have nothing to say.

Logically, that Tong Chuchu was supposed to be Zhu Jintang's woman, but now, something happened so suddenly that Zhu Jinlun couldn't help but feel puzzled.

The two brothers went out of the upper room one after the other. Zhu Jinlun wanted to say something wholeheartedly, so he called Zhu Jintang and said in a low voice: "Brother, I got a few bottles of good wine recently, I wonder if my brother is interested in having a drink with me?" A few cups."

Zhu Jintang heard the words and said lightly: "Let's avoid the wine. Your sister-in-law is pregnant now, so it's not appropriate to smell the wine. If you have something to say, you might as well buy me a cup of tea."

Zhu Jintang smiled: "That's fine, I'll order someone to prepare tea."

Although they are cousins, they grew up together, but their relationship is not very close, and they seldom drink tea and talk together like they do now.

What Zhu Jinlun prepared was the top grade Longjing. Zhu Jintang lifted the lid and smelled it, and he knew it was a rare top grade.

Zhu Jinlun has always been very good at enjoying himself, eating, wearing, and playing are all the best.

Zhu Jintang tasted the tea and felt that it was much better than he usually drank, so he couldn't help but frowned slightly, thinking: The second room costs 100 taels of silver a month, if I eat such a good tea all at once, I'm afraid it won't cost more than ten The day is over...Zhu Jinlun drank his tea happily. Seeing his frown, he couldn't help but put down his teacup and said, "What's the matter? This tea is not good?"

Zhu Jintang said lightly: "No, this tea is very good."

Zhu Jinlun pursed his lips and smiled when he heard the words: "I see. For the sake of my elder brother, I brought out all the best tea. If you dislike it, I will have nothing good to bring out."

Zhu Jintang pondered and said: "Second brother, you are being polite. If you have anything to say, you might as well just say it."

Zhu Jinlun knew that he was a man who liked to be strict in his work and didn't like small talk, so he said bluntly: "It's not a big deal, but it has something to do with the Jia family."

Zhu Jintang said, "Say it."

Zhu Jinlun continued: "I got the news today that the court may fight again, and I heard that the Mongols will be fought. So we will collect food and salaries soon, which is a very troublesome thing for us."

Zhu Jintang's eyebrows twitched. In fact, he had already received the rumors in the past two days, but he didn't want to act rashly before confirming the truth of the news.

Being the richest man in a state may seem like a glorious sight, but it is also the object of everyone's coveted calculations.Especially when the imperial court orders to collect military rations from various places, big families like them are naturally the first to be used by the imperial court for surgery and bloodletting... Zhu Jintang pondered slightly, and said: "Your source of information is reliable Is it? If you catch wind and shadow, it will be boring."

Zhu Jinlun opened the paper fan with a "wow", and the fan was completely white, with no words or pictures, pure white and flawless.At first glance, this is just an ordinary fan, but Zhu Jintang is not an ordinary person, he immediately knew the origin of this fan as soon as he glanced away.

Zhu Jintang's eyes tightened, he glanced at Zhu Jinlun, and said in a deep voice, "How could you deal with him?"

Seeing that he had come to understand, Zhu Jinlun closed the fan again, put it aside and said, "It's just a coincidence."

Zhu Jintang's face turned gloomy, and he said, "If we don't agree with each other, we don't conspire with each other. He is not on the same side as us, so it's better for you not to provoke him."

Seeing his serious look, Zhu Jinlun smiled lightly, "Don't worry, brother, this fan is not mine, it's just picked up."

It's a joke that there is a place to pick up this kind of thing.

Zhu Jintang sneered: "Second brother has such a big face, he can actually pick up the paper fan of the fourth prince today."

The fourth prince, Li Huan, after Li Zheng ascended the throne, voluntarily went to guard the spirit of the former emperor to temporarily avoid the edge.Li Zheng originally wanted to kill the grass and roots, but due to the empress dowager's face, he could only reserve the last trace of kindness for his disobedient enemy.

Although Li Zheng gave him the title of prince, it was just an empty title.

Li Huan is a very talented person, especially in calligraphy and painting, with profound attainments.However, although he is good at painting, he never paints on his fan. The pure white fan surface, gilded fan bones, and fan handle carved with the shape of flames... These are the unique characteristics of the Fourth Prince Li Huan. Everyone knows.

Although Zhu Jintang has never met the Fourth Prince himself, he still knows a lot about him.

"If you keep this kind of thing in your hand, aren't you afraid of getting into trouble? Your Majesty has always had a suspicion of the Fourth Prince. To be on the safe side, our Zhu family must not have anything to do with him." Zhu Jintang said very seriously.

He has always felt that Zhu Jinlun is just a playful person, but he has always been a smart person. Since he is a smart person, he should know how to protect himself wisely and not ask for trouble.

Zhu Jinlun tapped the fan twice with his fingertips, and said lightly: "I got the fourth prince's fan and this news by chance. Brother, you should be very clear that no matter how long our Zhu family's hands are, we can't reach them." Go to the capital. Besides, I never like to deal with people who play with power, so don't worry."

Hearing this, Zhu Jintang's expression seemed to soften, and he said, "You mean, it was the news from the Fourth Prince's side? The court is going to fight?"

Zhu Jinlun nodded, the two of them finally talked about the topic, he leaned forward slightly, and said in a low voice: "The fourth prince sent a lot of people to walk around, and they all looked like businessmen. People talk about things, and even make deals, but at the end of the day, they didn't do any business. Instead, they left these messages on purpose, which is very strange. This fan was caught by some hands and feet when they were drinking flower wine. Unclean dancers found it. They thought it was not a valuable thing, so they found someone to sell it at a low price. However, my followers saw it and thought it was fresh, so they bought it back.”

Zhu Jinlun felt that this matter was different, so he wanted to discuss it with Zhu Jintang.

Internally, they are secret enemies, but externally, they are also family members.

Zhu Jintang's eyes moved, and there was a glimmer of light, and he said in a low voice: "The Fourth Prince is not someone who is waiting for nothing. His people, running around in disguise like this, are probably recruiting soldiers, and this fan must be some kind of token. They lost it." , I won’t let it go lightly. Keeping it, sooner or later it will be a disaster, and it will cause future troubles, so get rid of it immediately.”

It's always good to be careful.

Li Huan is an ambitious prince, he will not be content with the status quo and be an unfavored prince.If the Holy Majesty spared his life, it would be tantamount to leaving future troubles for himself.

Zhu Jinlun didn't want to cause trouble either, he just said: "If it's really a keepsake, it won't be lost easily. At first, my elder brother and I thought the same way, the Fourth Prince was recruiting soldiers everywhere, but then I changed my mind, maybe someone would In the name of the Fourth Prince, doing it on purpose, maybe..."

Before he finished speaking, Zhu Jintang interrupted him bluntly: "Those conspiracies are not something we can worry about. Second brother, don't forget that we are just businessmen, buy low and sell high, and talk about business, and the rest Don't ask too much, don't care too much."

After Zhu Jinlun heard this, the expression on his face became a little complicated.He always felt that Zhu Jintang was a very ambitious person in his bones, but his personality was too restrained, and he hid everything so deeply that he couldn't see it.

Zhu Jinlun immediately said: "Grandpa often said that we are people who rely on the sky to eat. However, I think we have always relied on ourselves to eat. God's face changes as soon as it changes ah, it can't be up to you or me, who can just Waiting for it to change color while doing nothing?"

Few people know when it's going to rain and when it's going to be windy.Experience is something that is sometimes reliable and sometimes unreliable. The key still depends on the person.

The corner of Zhu Jintang's mouth moved slightly, as if he was smiling, but he wasn't. "Ninlun, the ancestral precepts of our Zhu family are very clear. The heirs of the Zhu family are not allowed to be officials in the court. This is the rule set by the ancestors. So, no matter what you expect in your heart or what you plan , that is impossible. Now, tell me about the Jia family."

His simple and concise words made Zhu Jinlun feel as if someone had poured cold water on his head, and he was very disappointed.

"As soon as the news that the imperial court was going to fight came out, the Jia family began to rush to grab food and land. You know, they like to use money to oppress people, and they also like to use money to cause trouble. Some people in the chamber of commerce have already been persuaded by them to make a move. I I think, since the Jia family wants to show off so much, why don't we give him this chance."

Zhu Jintang seemed to understand what he meant, and said, "You want the Jia family to take the top spot, and let them take away our No. [-] position in Texas."

"In the past few years, natural disasters and man-made disasters have never stopped, and our family's new granary has not been filled yet. Instead of letting the court lead the way, it is better to let Jia's show the limelight and take the credit."

Zhu Jinlun thought he was thinking very well, but Zhu Jintang shook his head and said: "We can't give up the position of the richest man, and what's more, we have to give as much as the court asks, even if it's not for the first merit, but also for the Zhu family and the Ruan family. Face. Don't forget, the future empress also has the blood of the Zhu family on her body."

There is no business that never loses money in this world, just like there is no general victorious in this world.If you care about everything, you will only lose more.
