[Red Mansion] Hairpins fly when they are

Zhu You's father-in-law was serving as the Minister of the Ministry of War. He had worked in this position for many years, and he was supposed to be promoted a long time ago. Since his daughter married the First Prince and became the First Prince's concubine, his promotion was nowhere in sight.

Although the emperor is old and often lacks energy, he has not reached the point of dementia.Before deciding on a prince, he will not let any prince's Yue family become too powerful.

Zhu You lives luxuriously, loves to enjoy himself, is both greedy for money and beautiful, how can he support his life with the little salary in the palace alone?Another way of making money is imperative.

He got acquainted with many military officials from his father-in-law. No matter which dynasty or generation, military power is the top priority.Firstly, Zhu You is not a prince, and secondly, he doesn't have extraordinary talents to make people admire. If he wants to win over these people, he can only lure them with huge profits.

Every piece of paper is inseparable from a word of money.

When he was worrying, someone gave him an idea. The foreigners had taken a fancy to some excellent weapons of this dynasty, but they had no place to buy them.

Zhu You was overjoyed, in his opinion, sooner or later this country would be his own, of course he would not be so stupid as to personally decorate the foreign countries to be stronger than this dynasty, he just sold them a little bit first, such a small amount , Compared with the inventory of this dynasty, it is like a drop in the bucket, even if foreigners get it, it will not constitute a big deal.

Besides, no matter how good a weapon is, there will be a day when it will run out of bluntness. As long as he has an appropriate amount, what effect will it have on his country?

He had just traded with a foreigner once, in exchange for a large box of banknotes. Looking at these banknotes, Zhu You even felt for a moment that as long as this business can go on for a long time, it doesn't seem to matter whether he becomes an emperor or not It's urgent.

Although Qin Yuchuan is Zhu You's confidant and aide, but this matter is too involved and must be kept very confidential, so after the matter was completed, he noticed something was wrong from Zhu You's expression and words.

That day when Zhu You sent away the guests, as soon as he saw Qin Yuchuan, he casually stuffed a stack of banknotes over him, triumphantly saying, "Mr. Qin, follow my prince well in the future, your wealth and honor will definitely be indispensable."

Holding the stack of thick banknotes, Qin Yuchuan was stunned. The eldest prince only talked about wealth, but did not mention the word prosperity.His heart skipped a beat, and when he thought about the few people who were sent out just now, his ominous premonition grew stronger.

Within two days, Qin Yuchuan met Jia Yucun on the street. Jia Yucun still had his usual faint smile, but when he was about to say goodbye, he approached him and reminded him softly: "Mr. It's better to rest earlier."

What he said proudly meant something, Qin Yuchuan returned home and smacked it several times, thinking of the unusual state of the eldest prince, his back broke out in a cold sweat.

Two days later, the eldest prince suddenly became rich and couldn't hold back his excitement. He spent a lot of money to buy a few Yangzhou skinny horses from the south, and invited his confidants to drink and have fun together.

Qin Yuchuan also participated. Others drank good wine, but he felt that he drank the wine of beheading. The more he drank, the more bitter he felt.

Walking outside, unable to dispel the boredom in his heart, he unknowingly walked outside the study of the First Prince. Two servants were guarding the door, and there were many guards with knives outside the courtyard.

Just as Qin Yuchuan was about to turn around and go back, suddenly two black shadows flashed in front of his eyes, and at the same time, a guard exclaimed, "Who? Who's there?"

Qin Yuchuan's thoughts changed sharply, and he stood up by accident, and said calmly, "It's me. I drank too much at the banquet just now, so I came out to take a break."

The guards all recognized him, thought it was a false alarm, greeted him with a smile and stood back to their original positions.

Qin Yuchuan was trembling all over, his limbs were cold, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

He was so obsessed with ghosts just now, he didn't even know who the other party was, and he actually acted as a cover for him. If the First Prince found out about this, he would be doomed.

However, those shady activities behind the eldest prince's back will be found out by the second prince's faction in the future, and he will not be able to live.

In the whole world, could it be that the king is the land, he brings his family with him, there are old and young, and where can he escape to?

Seeing that he hadn't come back for a long time, Qin Yuchuan's colleagues hurriedly sent their servants to look for him. When the servants found him, they saw that he was in a bad condition and hurriedly reported it to the First Prince.

Zhu You still cared a little bit about him. Although the fun was interrupted, he greeted him in a friendly voice: "Mr. Qin, it's almost cold, you should add more clothes."

Qin Yuchuan took advantage of the situation and took sick leave. When he returned home, he shut himself up behind closed doors. Whether he lived or died, he could only resign himself to fate.

……

With Qin Yuchuan's divine help, the people sent by Zhu Yu safely evacuated from the First Prince's Mansion.They did not touch the originals, but only copied out the relevant account books and correspondence, and waited for the fourth prince to read it before making a decision.

The account book was clear at a glance, and only one item was recorded, which was the box of bank notes that Zhu You had received earlier, and the letter was worthy of deliberation.

The embarrassing thing is that these letters are all in foreign languages, and almost no one on Zhu Yu's side can understand the content.

People nowadays, young and old, look down on foreigners uniformly, thinking that they drink blood and have no manners, and are ashamed to communicate with them.

To decipher these letters, it is necessary to find a trustworthy person, so as not to leak the wind.Zhu Yu's people searched everywhere, and finally found two people who were said to have studied with foreigners.

Zhu Yu met them in person, and first picked out a few words from the letter to ask, but no one recognized them.

These two people who barely know a little bit of foreign language are no one in a million, but what they have learned is only simple communication such as daily life, how can they understand a complete letter.

Qu Xueyuan frowned and suggested: "I believe that there must be someone in the First Prince's residence who can understand, otherwise how would he read the letter? Why don't you arrest that person for a trial."

The leader of the guards immediately reported: "Fourth Prince, there is indeed such a place in the First Prince's Mansion. I don't know who lives in it. The guards outside are three layers inside and three layers outside. It is difficult to bring people out unscathed."

Jia Yucun shook his head: "We didn't touch the original, but we were worried that the eldest prince would notice and make such a big noise. If he destroys the evidence first and then denies it, wouldn't it be a waste of our work?"

Zhu Yu nodded, agreeing with his statement: "Think about it again, maybe there are other ways."

Jia Yucun said again: "The Longevity Festival will soon be here. If the First Prince wants to stand out from the crowd, this birthday gift must be extremely thoughtful. He has tasted the benefits, and he may come again. Otherwise, where will the birthday gift for the Longevity Festival come from?" out?"

He smiled slightly, and continued: "If you can grasp the current situation, no matter how eloquent the eldest prince is, the emperor will find it difficult to trust him."

This idea is very good, but the problem is that no one can understand the letter, and they don't know when and where the First Prince will make a deal next time.

These days, they almost couldn't sleep because of this matter.As time passed day by day, there was still no progress in the letter. Fortunately, Zhu Yu was able to hold his breath and gave him two more days.

Two days later, if you still can't solve it, you have to send guards back into the First Prince's Mansion to steal the original.

But in this way, there are many things that Zhu You can manipulate. He can completely push it to his subordinates, just saying that he is ignorant of people and was deceived by others. His head is not working?Most of them let it go without any pain.

Jia Yucun frowned for several days in a row, but when he entered the backyard, he put away his sad expression, not wanting to bring his bad mood into the house.

Unexpectedly, Baochai could understand the hidden willows and bright flowers in another village!

Jia Yucun looked at Baochai with bright eyes, and was extremely pleasantly surprised. He walked back and forth in the room for two steps, and then pressed Baochai's shoulder: "You wait for me at home, I will go out first."

He grabbed the cloak and went out in a hurry, but Baochai didn't stop him, he was stunned, then sat back on the couch and continued to do his work.

Who knows what he is doing, since you can't figure it out, don't waste your time, it's better to do your own thing.

Jia Yucun went to Qian Qing'an's residence, and after whispering a few words, Qian Qing'an made a decision: "It's not too late, please trouble Mrs. Jia to bring his wife, and we'll leave the city right now."

Jia Yucun went out for a trip, and within half an hour, he came back soon.Baochai was surprised and was about to ask a question when Jia Yucun said first, "Clean up and follow me out of the city."

Baochai was still holding the robe that was being finished, she didn't move, her face was full of suspicion.

Although it's not time to close the city gate, what are you going to do now?No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like he went out of the city to enjoy the flowers. The moon is dark and the wind is high, which is a good time to do bad things. What if he wants to sell himself?

Jia Yucun didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Time was running out and there was no time to explain, so he said in a low voice, "Don't think about it, you still don't understand what I mean for you? Just follow me."

Baochai bit her lip, lowered her head and thought for a while, her arms couldn't twist her thighs, he was the master of the family, so if he really wanted to do him a disservice, he didn't have to wait until then.

She raised her head and asked, "Can you take the girl?"

Jia Yucun shook his head: "No need, I will serve you on the way."

Baochai resisted the uneasiness in her heart, changed into a dress for going out, was wrapped in a cloak by Jia Yucun, and helped put the hat on, and then led the people out, and said to Yinger outside the door : "I'll take my wife out for a walk in the street, you guys rest first, you don't have to wait."

Ying'er smiled and agreed. Although it was a little cold, it was a good thing for the master to take the girl out for shopping.After all, the girl is so good-looking, it is safer to go out at night than during the day, and it is not so eye-catching.

When he reached the gate, Baochai realized that there were already two sedan chairs parked outside. Jia Yucun went up to greet the people in the sedan chair in front, and then pulled Baochai into the sedan chair.

The sedan chair went through several streets, went straight out of the city gate, and headed for Daguang Temple.

Sitting in the sedan chair, Baochai felt more and more uneasy when she heard the voices of people outside turn from uproar to silence.She grabbed Jia Yucun's hand and asked tremblingly, "Master, where are we going?"

Jia Yucun has been maintaining his character well outside, and Mr. Qian is still in front, so he sits upright as soon as he gets on the sedan chair.

Feeling that Baochai was afraid, he "reluctantly" put Baochai into his arms, and coaxed softly: "Don't be afraid, I will always be with you."
