Jiang Luqi thought about whether she would be able to see Jiang Luyao in this life, just like her previous life, miserable and miserably accused by everyone?

Jiang Luqi learned about the price of stones, and quietly estimated for the Qin Palace, and found that Jiang Luyao had to face a greater loss than in her previous life, and the price of stones in her previous life did not drop so much when it was at its lowest.

Jiang Luyao is really unlucky.

Jiang Luqi can't wait to drink two more glasses of wine to celebrate.

"If you have a great family and a great business, you can't throw silver into the water." Jiang Luyao resisted the urge to slap Jiang Luqi, how could there be such a sister? Jiang Luqi did it on purpose, right?

"The fourth sister came to the warehouse for the stones? I see that you are very speculative with the steward. ”

"I can't compare to what the Qin Wangfu can consume." Jiang Luqi's eyes were full of defense, for fear that Jiang Luyao would hear the news from her mouth, "I just chatted casually with the steward, but I didn't expect to be seen by the second sister." ”

Jiang Luyao said that she seemed to be an idle eighth woman.

Seeing that Jiang Luqi could at least see clearly on the stone, Jiang Luyao didn't have the mind to mention her, Jiang Luqi could go as she liked, she was confused and Xiao Ruihua cleaned up the mess behind her, and replied: "Since the fourth sister knows it in her heart, I don't need to say more." ”

"Closing the moon, sending off guests."

“……”

Jiang Luqi was invited to the carriage for less than a quarter of an hour, Jiang Luyao was going to get off the carriage by herself? Before getting out of the car, he preemptively asked, "Looking at the second sister's appearance, is she worried about the stones in the warehouse?" ”

"What? Do you have a good idea? ”

Jiang Luyao asked with a smile: "The fourth sister plans to teach me how to solve the matter of stones?" ”

"I thought it would be better for the second sister to sell the stone earlier." Jiang Luqi looked like she was planning for Jiang Luyao, "Ask Her Royal Highness Princess Qin and Her Royal Highness the Concubine Princess, they won't blame the second sister, you have only been married for half a year, and you are busy serving the prince, Her Royal Highness the concubine's kindness and generosity will not make the second sister ugly." ”

"Huh."

Jiang Luyao sneered, "Fourth sister means to let me throw the problem to Princess Qin?" Admit that I can't take care of the Qin Palace, right? ”

"That's the case, it's useless for the second sister to argue." Jiang Luqi was displeased, "Second sister doesn't know how good she is?" At this time, it is better to take the initiative to admit your mistake than when the concubine checks the accounts, can this lost silver make up for it? Don't think about making up for this money with your mother's dowry. The dowry is the private silver given to you by the second uncle and the second aunt, and it is the foundation of your foothold in the palace. ”

"The second sister is a little wrong, the key to my foothold in the palace has never been how much I dowry, you don't have to worry about me, I never thought of using the dowry my parents gave me to fill the holes in the palace. Of course, I won't take the initiative to admit my mistake in front of the concubine, it's not my fault in the first place, why should I admit it? ”

Jiang Luyao never thought of losing the initiative, this matter is too big, too serious, and she can't do it alone.

Thinking of a solution to the problem first is key.

This matter is a major event in the entire Qin Palace.

"What if the concubine is investigated?"

"After investigation, it's not me who has no face, but ......" Jiang Luyao smiled brightly, "I am still a great hero of the Qin Palace, the fourth sister might as well look at it, how did I make His Royal Highness the Concubine grateful, how did I let His Royal Highness the King of Qin rest assured that the palace would be handed over to me!" ”

"Closing the moon, sending off guests."

Jiang Luyao once again asked the attendant to send off the guests.

Jiang Luqi didn't have anything to say at this time, she got out of the carriage like a lost soul, saw the carriage going away, stomped her feet, phew, it seems to be so sure, when the time comes, I don't know when I was disgraced by Princess Qin, don't cry.

"The princess is back to the palace?"

"No, let's go to the Yamen of the Ministry of Officials first."

"Go to the Yamen of the Ministry of Officials?"

"I have to figure out who is involved in this matter before I can think of a countermeasure."

Jiang Luyao couldn't even figure out the officials in the Lianghuai area, how could she speculate how deeply the concubine's family was involved, although she didn't know that the specific officials involved in this monstrous case, the price of stone fell so much, it can be imagined that this interest group is not just one or two people.

One or two people can't do a big thing to deceive the superiors and the subordinates.

From the capital, to Lianghuai, and even the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Ministry of Industry, this net is really big enough.

She had to figure out the direction before she could figure out what to do next.

At the entrance of the official department, Jiang Luyao was a little hesitant, as the princess of King Qin, she went to the official department to investigate the officials in the Lianghuai area, which was too attention-grabbing, in case of startling the snake, things would develop in a more unpredictable direction.

What to do?

Jiang Luyao pondered that she could only let Jiang Erye come...... It's not good, Jiang Erye is now a star-level figure in the capital, and he is noticed by many people, Jiang Erye complained to her in private, and now as long as he drinks, a group of people follow him.

Those who followed him all saw with their own eyes how Yang Shuai got on it.

Second Master Jiang even said to Jiang Luyao fiercely that he had to summon Yang Shuai out to scare them to death that day!

Jiang Erye loves freedom and yearns for an unrestrained life, and being noticed by all sides obviously ruined his good mood, Jiang Luyao doesn't want to get his father into trouble because of his own affairs.

Just when she was hesitating, she happened to see Xiao Ruihua coming out of the ministry.

Jiang Luyao quietly got out of the carriage and called, "Brother-in-law Xiao." ”

“……”

Xiao Ruihua looked back and saw that it was the princess of King Qin, what did she call herself? Brother-in-law Xiao?

Yes, he married her cousin, not a brother-in-law, what is it called?

"What does the princess command?" Xiao Ruihua saw Jiang Luyao with her hand, and frowned in wonder, how did she come to the Yamen of the Ministry of Officials?

Jiang Luyao said with a smile: "It's really a coincidence, I happen to have one thing that I want to trouble Brother-in-law Xiao, which is a great difficulty for me, but it's just a gesture for you." ”

Nothing to do...... Xiao Ruihua didn't have a taste in her heart, but whenever she begged herself, she always smiled very sweetly, and turned around...... She turned around and didn't recognize herself.

"Brother-in-law Xiao?" Jiang Luyao called softly, and used a sentence of brother-in-law Xiao to separate the fractal resemblance and intimacy between each other.

No matter what, they can't have anything more than their brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law, and worldly morality strictly binds them.

In fact, Jiang Luyao feels that Xiao Ruihua is very similar to herself, always knows what she wants, will not be confused, will not retreat, and will even do whatever it takes to achieve her goal. It's also a shame that they didn't get married, otherwise they don't know what they would have to do now.

Xiao Ruihua needs a virtuous helper who is mainly him, careful, considerate, and intelligent.

Careful, considerate, and smart, Jiang Luyao has all these things, but she is the only one who can't focus on him in everything, and she can't accept him sacrificing his most cherished and precious Jiang Erye and his wife.

Xiao Ruihua knew the reason why Jiang Luyao was a brother-in-law Xiao, and said lightly: "If the princess has something, please speak up, but anything that can help is not ambiguous." ”

"I want to ask Brother-in-law Xiao to help inquire about the officials in the Lianghuai area, their ancestral hometowns, and which ......"

Jiang Luyao hadn't finished speaking, seeing Xiao Ruihua walking in front of her, Xiao Ruihua's handsome face was a little dignified, and her obsidian-like pupils were deep and gloomy, Jiang Luyao seemed to be the prey of her eyes...... suddenly realized: "Brother-in-law Xiao, I really admire you." ”

"Brother-in-law Xiao's future prospects are limitless."

He also saw that there was a problem, and most importantly, he intended to benefit from it, to consolidate his foundation in the imperial court, his prestige in Shilin, and even to gain the gratitude of the common people.

These happened to be the things he lacked the most without the protection of his family.

"Don't dare to be."

Xiao Ruihua's eyes also flashed with appreciation, "You are amazing, fortunately, I am in the court, if you are a man, I will have one more opponent in the court, an opponent who knows oneself and knows the other!" ”

"Even if I am a man, I am afraid that I will not be like Xiao's brother-in-law." Jiang Luyao smiled faintly: "Don't forget whose child I am, my father doesn't want me to have too hard a hard time." He always said that there are many interesting things in the world, and it is not only the best to get promoted and get rich. ”

"Second Master Jiang has a free and easy temperament, comfortable and leisurely, which is enviable."

Xiao Ruihua is also very envious of Jiang Erye's living state, but he knows that he can't be Jiang Erye, his ambition pushes him to keep going up, and then up, if he doesn't become a supreme minister in this life, he will fail.

He has lost the person he should cherish the most, and if he loses the ultimate ideal, he will feel sorry for himself.

"This is a list of all the officials in Jiangnan, and there is also a note that it is a ...... of the Ministry of Internal Affairs."

Xiao Ruihua didn't talk nonsense anymore, and handed the list in his cuffs to Jiang Luyao, "You'd better go back and discuss it with the prince, I recommend myself and am willing to join forces with the prince again." ”

Zhao Duoze is now in charge of the Shenji Battalion, which can be regarded as a meritorious clan and has taken the road of a soldier, Zhao Duoze needs an ally, an ally in the civilian system, Xiao Ruihua and Zhao Duoze's vested interests do not conflict, on the contrary, they can be each other's horns and help each other.

"Lord Xiao, I'll just ask one thing, how extensive do you estimate this matter is?"

"I don't hide it from Cousin Jiang, if the two Huai break the embankment and flood the south of the Yangtze River, this matter will be widely implicated, and I think the prince's share is indispensable. This is also the reason why the price of stone will drop so sharply, and some people are calculating the prince behind their backs. Even if the crown prince can survive this time, with the body of His Royal Highness the prince...... I'm afraid it's ...... I'm going to make a big deal out of this case. ”

"How big do you want to go?"

"You can implicate as much as you can."

Jiang Luyao looked embarrassed, how did the emperor provoke Xiao Ruihua? Could it be that Xiao Ruihua wants to be the killer of the prince? The wider the implication, the greater the attack, the more princes will be implicated, and even if the emperor wants to stop at that time, he may not be able to stop it.

"Aren't you afraid of getting out of control? The emperor needs an heir. ”

"Huh."

The official robe on Xiao Ruihua's body moved without wind, and the wings on both sides of the official hat trembled slightly, "There are many sons of the emperor, and there are always people who are suitable to inherit the throne." ”

Jiang Luyao remembered the strong first assistants in history who could compete with the emperor, if the emperor sitting on the throne was not strong enough, it was possible to achieve Xiao Ruihua's status as a strong first assistant.

Xiao Ruihua is too ambitious and dangerous, and he doesn't have any reverence for the emperor.

"Lord Xiao, take it easy." Jiang Luyao warned softly, "Don't forget, you don't feed the whole family by yourself and don't go hungry, you have a wife and an unborn nephew!" ”

"Cousin Jiang, don't worry, I won't implicate the Yongning Marquis Mansion. What to do and what to do, I have a sense of proportion. ”

Xiao Ruihua smiled faintly: "I'm afraid of death." ”

"Let me go back and discuss with the prince." Jiang Luyao had nothing to say, and bowed to Xiao Ruihua, the body that had been turned paused, and turned back and said, "I met the fourth sister in the warehouse today. ”

Xiao Ruihua saw Jiang Luyao go away and met the fourth sister? Warehouse?

His face suddenly became ugly, Jiang Luqi!?

I really can't relax at all about Jiang Luqi.

Xiao Ruihua saw that her illness had just improved, after all, she was the wife she married into the door, even if she didn't look down on her, she didn't want to do things desperately, Jiang Luqi was in charge of the house's affairs in an orderly manner, as long as it didn't involve major matters, Jiang Luqi was a very qualified wife.

He never expected that his warning would be useless to Jiang Luqi.

Thanks to Jiang Luyao for telling him the news, if Jiang Luqi is busy outside and shows his feet, not to mention that the things he planned are wasted, he may be seen by others.

"Your Excellency?"

"Let's go home first."

"Yes."

Xiao Ruihua asked the servant to go to the Hanlin Courtyard to ask for leave, and he rushed back home in a sedan chair by himself.

*******

The sky was completely dark, the Qin Wangfu hung up lanterns for lighting, Zhao Duoze entered the door full of exhaustion, thinking that Yaoyao might have fallen asleep, but saw Jiang Luyao holding an account book and looking at it seriously under the candlelight.

The faint candlelight reflected her face, and Zhao Duoze's heart was filled with warmth.

"Yaoyao, are you waiting for me?"

"How do you know I'm waiting for you?" Jiang Luyao's eyebrows raised slightly, "Can't I read the account book?" ”

"You said it hurts your eyes to light candles and read at night."

Zhao Duoze stretched out his arm and hugged Yaoyao in his arms, and took a deep breath of the fragrant fragrance on her body, "In two days, I will take Yaoyao out to play." ”

He was deeply ashamed of his beloved wife because of his busyness of going out early and returning late, "If you are bored in the palace, you can either invite someone to play or go out." If the concubine is not pleased, I will tell her. ”

"How can it be boring?" Jiang Luyao didn't dislike the smell of sweat on Zhao Duoze's body at all, and said with a smile: "The palace is very lively, today Princess Qin invited Mrs. Xingronghou." ”

"Marquis Xingrong? How could you please her? ”

"It seems that she can't sit still, and she wants to force the Yang family to show her attitude."

"She has a good calculation, and she really regards the widow of the Yang family as the emperor?"

"Aze, don't forget, the Ming Dynasty is a descendant, and it is impossible to pass on the throne to a concubine when there is a concubine."

“……”

Zhao Duoze kissed Jiang Luyao's neck and said with a low smile: "I know, Yaoyao, I don't think the position of the prince is heavy at all now, after mastering the Shenji Battalion, I realized how narrow I was before, my vision was too low, and the position of the prince of Qin just seemed to be rich and noble." ”

"You really don't care?"

"Hmm."

Zhao Duoze opened his mouth to bite Jiang Luyao's little nose looking at him, "I only care about Yaoyao alone." ”

"Phew." Jiang Luyao pushed him away vigorously, blushing and saying, "Go and freshen up, I don't believe you." ”

"Yaoyao is in a hurry?"

"You're not done yet?"

"Don't be angry."

Zhao Duoze approached Jiang Luyao with a hippie smile, and suddenly hugged her, "Go, wash with me." ”

"I've washed it."

"Then rub my back."

Zhao Duoze laughed faster and faster, his eyes were dark, and he couldn't wait to turn into a wolf and swallow Jiang Luyao into his stomach at this time.

******

In the bathroom, there was a pile of stagnant water on the floor, and there was an ambiguous smell between the water vapors.

"Not enough?" Jiang Luyao shook her head and looked at Zhao Duoze who was about to move behind her, "Your physical strength is really good." ”

"I take this as a compliment, Yaoyao, I want to reward you."

Zhao Duoze adhered to Jiang Luyao tightly, his beloved wife's delicate and enchanting body curves were too tempting, and her hair looked so different.

"I have something to say."

Jiang Luyao turned over and faced Zhao Duoze, and the little water in the bath bucket spilled some more, pushing Zhao Duoze away and attacking herself! "Guess who I'm going to see today?" ”

"Who?"

"Xiao Ruihua."

Zhao Duoze seemed to touch cold water poured down, raised his head and looked at Jiang Luyao for a long time, and took a deep breath, "Why did you go to see him?" ”

Jiang Luyao kissed Zhao Duoze's tight cheek with satisfaction, "Aze, don't you believe me?" ”

"I believe it, but I'm still angry."

"So what?"

Jiang Luyao kissed his lips this time, the tip of her tongue tempted Zhao Duoze to open his mouth, and his body wrapped around him like a beautiful snake, charming and sultry, "Can't let Aze be stingy?" ”

"Leprechauns."

Zhao Duoze was even more helpless, and slapped Jiang Luyao's buttocks, "Say, who do you and him want to plot?" The widow of the Yang Gate is not worth your hand now. ”

"Taijun, they are left to Princess Qin."

Jiang Luyao just wanted to watch the dog-eat-dog of Taijun and Princess Qin from the side, watching them fight for Zhao Duoze and the position of the prince who didn't care about it, "The concubine ordered a huge amount of stone a few days ago, and now the price of stone is very low. ”

"How much did you lose?"

"Aze wants to help the concubine make up for it?" Jiang Luyao squinted her eyes, Zhao Duoze didn't come with a chill on her back, remembering her father-in-law's words, a man can't expose his private money, and said with a flattering smile: "The silver is in Yaoyao's hands, how can I have the silver to mend the hole for my grandmother?" ”

"Really? You really didn't save any money? ”

"No, no!"

Zhao Duoze almost swore to the sky, his father-in-law had taught him, and he couldn't say that he was killed, and after he had a heart-to-heart relationship with Yaoyao, all the silver he had saved before was given to Yaoyao, and there was really not much silver in his hand.

Yaoyao won't let him be strapped for money outside, and prepared a lot of silver for him, but he has been busy training recently, so sometimes do you have kung fu entertainment?

"You don't know how much silver I have?"

"I believe you are."

Zhao Duoze secretly let out a sigh of relief, and he really had to hold on.

"I calculated the deficit of the stones, and it was about 100,000 taels."

"How much? 100,000 taels? ”

Zhao Duoze's mouth grew and he was surprised: "Grandmother has set so many stones? Not right......"

His brows furrowed, his face full of solemnity, "I should ask how the price of stone has dropped so much, this is completely unreasonable." ”

"Do you know what your surname is, the governor of the river of Lianghuai?"

"I think I've heard of it, but I don't remember it."

"He is in the same department as Xu Guangli."

"Ahh Zhao Duoze's face was even more solemn, "Xu Guangli? Are there any remnants of the Xu Party in this? The emperor has almost eliminated the Xu Party. ”

"He doesn't have a deep relationship with Xu Guangli, and I can't tell if he is Xu Guangli's henchman, but when I saw that he was in the same department as Xu Guangli, I became suspicious, Aze, the stone that your grandmother bought was not the stone that was replaced from the river embankment, but ...... The best goods for the construction of the Imperial Tomb. ”

"Repair the stone of the Emperor's Mausoleum? This is an unforgivable sin. ”

"Before seeing this list, I thought that the concubine was just innocently implicated in this matter, and after seeing the list, I thought maybe this was against you...... It's not just about the layout of the prince. Xu Guangli has been operating in Jiangnan for so many years, and I heard that he has always been kind to others, and the network he has compiled in Jiangnan is still working. ”

Jiang Luyao guessed that at first they didn't plan to calculate the Qin Palace, and retaliate against Zhao Duoze who reported Xu Guangli, but later when they found out that the concubine's family had bought cheap stones, they sold the stones for the construction of the imperial tomb to the concubine.

"You mean that Lianghuai will definitely burst the embankment this year? That's why they want to pull more people into the water unscrupulously? ”

"There is a high probability of a levee breakdown."

When the governor of the river knew that there was no way to recover, he was likely to go crazy, and by the way, the crown prince who turned a blind eye to Xu Guangli's downfall and the prince of Qin who denounced Xu Guangli were involved.

"Is it too late to strengthen the embankment?"

"Aze?"

"Huh?" Zhao Duoze looked at Jiang Luyao in surprise, "I asked the wrong question?" The river bank bursts...... How many people will be displaced? At that time, the entire Jiangnan will be disaster victims. ”

Jiang Luyao smiled, her smile was very warm and sweet, her smile made Zhao Duoze stunned, "Did I say the wrong thing?" ”

"Nope."

Jiang Luyao hugged Zhao Duoze's neck and rubbed the tip of her nose against his ear, "I'm very happy." ”

Zhao Duoze's mind is much more open-minded than before, he has the world in his heart, but he is not as 'selfless' as Yang Shuai, Xiao Ruihua, who is good at calculation and walks on the road of power, is admirable, but it also makes people feel cold at the bottom of their hearts, and they are unwilling to get close to Xiao Ruihua.

And Zhao Duoze let Jiang Luyao rest assured in his arms.

"Aze had better go and meet Master Xiao tomorrow, let's talk."

Maybe these two people with different personalities can complement each other and save the people of the two Huai, Jiang Luyao said in a low voice: "As for the construction of the imperial tomb stone...... Regardless of whether the governor of Lianghuai River is Xu Guangli's henchman or not, he must be! The Qin Wangfu was framed, although the concubine's family was not good, but the Qin Wangfu was innocent. ”

This is also the best way to get rid of the crime after Jiang Luyao got the list.

If the river embankment can be repaired and the disaster can be avoided, the emperor can only appreciate and praise Zhao Duoze.

As for the concubine and the others...... Jiang Luyao didn't take them too seriously, they couldn't die left and right, and it was time for the concubines to suffer a little, don't think that building a yard and indulging in enjoyment can protect the peace of King Qin

The author has something to say: it is precisely because of the fall of Xu Guangli, a key political figure, that things in this life have become different from those in previous lives, causing a greater butterfly effect.

As for Princess Qin's plan, what she wants most is variables, and there will be major variables before the prince of Qin is full-fledged, such as the truth that Zhao Duoze is a concubine is announced to the public. In this overhead dynasty, only the son-in-law can inherit everything, if it continues to develop according to the current situation, the son of Princess Qin will not have a chance, but if Zhao Duoyi wins the position of the prince, she will have a chance. So she desperately wants to make a last-ditch effort, and variables are crucial.
