Wealth is pressing [crossing]

Ever since people from the Qin family came to Shen Linqiu's courtyard that day, Luoying Courtyard would come to visit such a group of people every now and then, and Shen Linqiu didn't care about them. On the first day, he even came out to say hello, and left them alone for the rest of the time. , even if they entered his room, he still lay down on the bed in the room. Now that the Mid-Autumn Festival is getting closer, he must take good care of his body now.

"Xia Feng, tomorrow will be the Mid-Autumn Festival." He has been here for more than two months. He didn't expect it to be only two months, but he felt that he seemed to have stayed in this place for a long time. In his memory, Shen Linqiu He stayed in the Qin family for three years in his previous life. If everything in this life develops according to the trajectory of his previous life, he only needs to take care of his body, and at most it will take a few years for the Qin family to be over, and he will You can get out of the fire pit, but... can you really do nothing?Will he be able to stay safe and wait for the day when the Qin family is defeated?impossible!Never do nothing!Even if it is to let myself leave here earlier, or to make myself leave here more safely, I cannot sit still.

"Xia Feng, prepare something, we will go out tomorrow."

"Young Master, but Second Master didn't let you..." Xia Feng was a little embarrassed. She was really worried that Shen Linqiu had caused trouble because of going out without permission.

"I'm your young master." Shen Linqiu had been waiting for this day for a long time, and he had discussed with them before that he would go out tomorrow no matter what.

"Understood, young master."

What Shen Linqiu asked Xia Feng to do was very simple, she asked Xia Feng to prepare a set of maid clothes, and Xia Feng would find him a woman tomorrow, so he pretended to go to Hualou with the lady to catch the maid That's it.Now that his identity is sensitive, he can no longer blatantly enter and leave the flower building like before.

Speaking of Hualou, Shen Linqiu thought of the plots that appeared in brothels in modern novels. He didn't understand them before, but now he understands a little bit. Besides selling gold, a brothel is also a good place to collect information. When drinking and having sex, What should be said and what should not be said Some people are also a little confused, and the news they want at those times is naturally the easiest to get.

Early in the morning of the second day, Shen Linqiu asked the girl to go to the kitchen to boil a big bowl of medicine for him, and then asked the two girls left by Qin Haocheng to guard the door, while he himself and Xia Feng walked through the courtyard wall of the backyard. There, he climbed over the wall and went out.

Shen Linqiu knew how many pairs of eyes were watching this Luoying Academy, and his every move might be seen by others, but there was a chance for everything.These days, those people should have relaxed their vigilance towards him, not only because of the injuries on his body, but also because those people who come here every now and then to make trouble these days may also see themselves clearly in their own soft attitude, as long as If they don't take themselves seriously, they will naturally have less energy here.

Besides Qin Haocheng's Luoying Courtyard, the location of this courtyard is quite remote. Although the Qin Mansion occupies an extremely large area, this courtyard of Qin Haocheng is the last yard in the backyard, facing the outermost wall of the Qin Mansion. As long as he climbed over a fence in addition to the Luoying Courtyard, it would be the street outside. It is actually difficult for outsiders to monitor this place. Unless they find someone to stand outside the courtyard wall, otherwise they will not be caught by climbing over the wall. people found out.

Shen Linqiu, who had the courage to go out again secretly, went to the place to change the things Xia Feng had prepared as soon as he went out, and then hurriedly went to the flower building in his memory with others.

Along the way, Shen Linqiu was very nervous. He once thought that if he was Yan Huangyuan, he would easily believe a stranger's words, and this stranger was someone who was looked down upon by everyone in the capital.

When he came to this place for the first time, due to excitement and nervousness, Shen Linqiu didn't pay much attention to the environment here, but now his mood is much calmer than before. After coming to this place and taking a closer look, he found that this place is quite interesting. It may be called a brothel, but the layout is very elegant and elegant. Those who don't know it think it is a private theater.

Shen Linqiu remembered that the last time I came here, it was very lively, but today it was a little deserted, but that's fine, it's always good to not be discovered.

According to Shen Linqiu's previous arrangement, after he followed a woman in noisily, he followed her upstairs smoothly. When they entered, there were still a few lovely people shouting and laughing. It might be such a thing It happens often in this place, and others just treat it as a joke.

Shen Linqiu still remembered the girl who took him upstairs last time, and this time it was also the same girl. She was preventing them from going upstairs, but she was actually guiding them along. After arriving in the room last time, Shen Linqiu followed the still noisy After the woman entered the door, what other people wanted to see would still happen in that room. As for Shen Linqiu, he naturally went to meet the person he wanted to see.

Seeing Yan Huangyuan again, Shen Linqiu knew that what he was thinking should be all right, and that His Royal Highness, the eldest prince, probably didn't have time to meet a small person.

"Caomin, I've seen it before." Although Shen Linqiu hated kneeling, he still knelt down to salute others honestly.

"Are you the eldest son of Marquis Shen or the second young lady of the Qin family, why do you call yourself a grassroots?" Logically, Shen Linqiu really shouldn't call himself that, but Shen Linqiu felt that even if he was the eldest son of the Shen family in the eyes of others, he was also the second young lady of the Qin family. , but he has only one identity in front of this person, that is, the heir of the Wan family, the son of an ordinary businessman, so it is correct for him to call himself a grassroots.

"Your Highness, Linqiu is just the son of a mere merchant, and his other identities are all jokes in chains, so don't worry about it, Your Highness."

Yan Huangyuan's height was about the same as Shen Linqiu's, and his figure was not too strong, but Shen Linqiu still didn't dare to treat the man in front of him lightly. He thought it might be the majesty of the emperor. It was not unreasonable for people in ancient times to fear the emperor. On the one hand, the emperor It can determine the fate of a person or a family. On the one hand, their deep-rooted thoughts of dignity and inferiority are also the reason why they dare not despise the emperor. But he, a modern person, did not grow up with ancient thoughts. There is still tension and even a slight sense of suffocation in front of him. It seems that the popularity and aura of being an emperor is naturally extraordinary.

"Your Highness, Linqiu has explained Linqiu's intentions last time, what Linqiu brings with him this time is the sincerity of Linqiu's cooperation with His Highness." Although there is some heartache, it's just money if you don't want your child to be tied to a wolf, isn't it?It's okay to leave it alone, it's still good to take it over and buy a gold medal for avoiding death.

Since the last meeting with several shopkeepers, Shen Linqiu has received the first sum of money in his hand. Although he is recuperating in the mansion these days, he still inquired about the outside affairs. The production has been reduced, and the common people have worked hard for a year, but there is no harvest. Now several counties in the disaster area have become wasteland.After this matter was reported to the imperial court, Imamami was furious and immediately demanded that 30 taels of silver be transferred from the treasury for disaster relief, but the Ministry of Household Affairs said that it could not provide the silver.

Every year in Dayan, the weather is good and the people live in peace and the treasury is full. This year's famine is rare in a hundred years. It is said that Dayan, who is so prosperous, can't even get out a mere 30 taels of silver?However, as the Ministry of Household Affairs said, the treasury now only has more than a million taels. If 30 taels are taken out at once, I am afraid that the various expenses in the palace will be cut down in the future. This is a matter of concern. The household department is also in a dilemma regarding the interests of the masters in the palace.

There is no money in the treasury, and disaster relief is imperative, so from a few days ago, when the ministers arrived at the early court, everyone was in danger, fearing that the emperor's fire would burn someone's head. All the ministers of the Ministry were severely scolded by the emperor. The Minister of the Household Department is the second prince's niece, and he can be regarded as the most face-saving among the relatives of the present day, except for the Qin family. I have to work hard to get the money out.

What Shen Linqiu brought to Yan Huangyuan this time was the money he needed most. Of course, he could just give it to Yan Huangyuan so blatantly, but Yan Huangyuan couldn't just give it to the emperor. It is not easy to come up with such a large sum of money, so the name can only be solved in other ways.

Shen Linqiu knows that the status of merchants in this world is very low, but the imperial merchants will tell him otherwise. Although the status of imperial merchants is still very low compared to ordinary clan children, compared with pure merchants, their status is much higher , at least the children of the imperial merchants can become officials.

"Your Highness, Lin Qiu can solve His Highness's difficulties first, but Lin Qiu hopes that His Highness can meet someone today, and when His Highness sees him, outsiders will be speechless about what His Highness has solved for the Emperor." Zhao Dong He is a well-known big businessman in the capital, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the richest man in the capital, but he has never been involved in the Huang family's business, so naturally he has less contact with ordinary dignitaries, but this does not affect his reputation Spread in Beijing.

With Zhao Dong, there will naturally be an explanation for the extra money in the hands of the eldest prince Yan Xuanyuan.

"Your Highness, does Linqiu..." Did he say something wrong? Why is this person silent?Shen Linqiu found that Yan Huangyuan had been sitting and drinking tea. No matter what he said, he always looked like an old god. This time, he didn't even have the snatching momentum that he deliberately showed when they met for the first time, but he seemed to be It makes people panic.

"Why?"

"what?"

"Why, why is this so."

Looking at Yan Huangyuan's probing eyes, this time Shen Linqiu did not choose to look away from that somewhat frightening look, but looked straight at it, expressing all the sad emotions that Shen Linqiu was unwilling but unable to resist in his previous life.

"I am the eldest son of Shen, but how many people in this capital know about me, Shen Linqiu? The son of the Shen family who was locked up in a small courtyard since childhood is just a waste that was abandoned and forgotten. But this waste will one day It's ridiculous to be used again, let him marry a man! Even if he is a waste, he is still a man. He also wants to marry a wife and have children, and also wants to have his own family again. The last hope is broken, family love, that's all! The Shen family and Linqiu are just a place where they were born. Also, the rumors outside are not false. My mother was tricked into marrying someone, and finally died of depression. After death, there is still no peace! These are all given by the Shen family. As a son of man, I naturally have to seek justice for my mother, and as a dignified man, I naturally have to seek justice for myself! Whether I, Shen Linqiu, is married to a man or a woman , at least I have to do it willingly!"

Yes, no matter whether the person around is a man or a woman, at least this person must be someone you like and you want to spend your whole life with.

"The second master of the Qin family, isn't it good?" Yan Huangyuan looked at Shen Linqiu with the same look in his eyes, but the scrutiny just now was a little less, and now he looked more like he was inquiring about other people's privacy.

"He, Qin Erye can't say it's bad, but we are not suitable for each other, and we will leave sooner or later. It doesn't matter whether he is good to me." In all fairness, Shen Linqiu felt that although Qin Haocheng didn't like him, It's really not a bad person, at least when he was burdened with other people's calculations, he didn't transfer the resentment and hatred in his heart to him, and recently he had a feeling that after he arrived in the Qin mansion, this Qin Haocheng seemed to have helped him a lot.

"You are the wife that Qin Haocheng is marrying. If there is such a day, if he refuses to handwrite a divorce letter to you, you will naturally have to be tied to him for the rest of your life. Do you think you can leave?" There was still a calm face. , but Shen Linqiu inexplicably felt a little familiar, but this feeling disappeared too quickly, and he himself quickly ignored it.

"So Linqiu needs some help. If His Highness becomes the lord of the world one day, please end this absurd marriage and give Linqiu freedom." Marriage is the emperor's decree, and then the emperor decrees to let them Heli is always possible.

"You go back. I know what you asked for. I can't promise you now, but I can promise you that if there is such a day, I will grant what you asked for."

"Thank you, Your Highness!" Excited in his heart at the moment, Shen Linqiu retreated respectfully, looking at Shen Linqiu with an uncontrollable smile, Yan Huangyuan, who had never been turbulent, left a sly smile.
