Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Bright Moon of the Year (3)

When he returned to the house and set Ye Qinyu up, Xue Chunyue turned around to ask for a doctor, but Ye Qinyu grabbed him and looked at him with some solemnity.

As soon as she woke up, she was going home, Xue Chunyue knew that something was wrong, at that time he thought that someone in the back house deliberately tricked her and injured her, but then he thought about how happy those people were when they saw her come back to save her relatives, it didn't look like they were pretending, so they wouldn't tease her so indiscriminately, so he sat down and asked, "You remembered something in Haizhou Xue Mansion some time ago, did you remember something again this time?" ”

Qin Yu pursed her lips and said hesitantly, "I have an impression of the side courtyard in the northwest corner......

"After I went in, I remembered something, so I didn't see the road well?"

"Hmmm......"

"Well, what shall I say about you? When will you know to be cautious and cherish yourself? ”

Chunyue ...... That courtyard was a retreat place specially built by the prince, and since it was built, he has been the only one who has entered and exited, and no one is allowed to enter, not even the princess. When I was a child, Brother Yi and I were very curious, and we often ran to the corner to play and spy on one or two. Once I heard a woman's voice, and the man was talking to the prince! ”

"Since no one can go in, who is he who speaks?"

"At that time, I only regarded it as the prince's concubine and came to serve him, so I never took this matter to heart. However, when I went in today, I saw those ornaments that I had seen in the snooping, and suddenly remembered the matter of the Xue family in Haizhou! ”

"It has something to do with what happened to the Xue family?"

"At that time, I had no memory of the Xue family, so I didn't know who the woman's voice was, but I know now! It's Princess Xiang! Princess Xiang, who had a fierce quarrel with King Xiang in the study of Xuejia Xiyuan in Haizhou! ”

Xue Chunyue was excited, covered her mouth, and shouted to the outside, "Xinyan, close the door, you watch at the door, no one is allowed to come within a foot of the door!" ”

Xinyan agreed, and hurriedly did as instructed.

Xue Chunyue let go of her hand at this time, stared at her with a solemn expression, and said, "Do you think that King Jing and Princess Xiang have an adulterous relationship?" ”

Ye Qinyu nodded solemnly, "There is a small gate in the side courtyard in the northwest corner that leads directly to the outside of the mansion, and you don't need to go through the palace compound to enter and exit at all." If the two of them are above board, why don't they say in the mansion that they have to be in this secret side courtyard? Moreover, I suspect that this side courtyard was built by King Jing to facilitate adultery with Princess Xiang, so no one is allowed to enter or leave, and neither can the princess! Later, this side courtyard was suddenly abandoned, and now I think back to the time, it was after King Xiang and Princess Xiang passed away in an accident! ”

This speculation also echoes the logic...... The people who wanted to see were all dead, and the courtyard was naturally abandoned......"

"Chunyue, do you understand what is behind their adultery?! The people who responded to the forbidden army in the mouth of Princess Xiang and later poisoned King Xiang, and even the people who instigated King Xiangjun to rebel some time ago, and even killed King Xiangjun in the end...... It's a ...... to the king."

Xue Chunyue's expression became more and more solemn, and he thought for a while before he said, "I know that King Jing didn't really want to marry his aunt back then, but I just don't know who the person he really likes is, and why he couldn't marry that person......

"What do you say? King Jing doesn't love the princess?! Ye Qinyu looked at Xue Chunyue blankly like a thunderbolt, those scenes of respecting each other and loving each other, are they all acting......

"It's all about my father's past, and I also heard my mother mention it by chance. Back then, King Jing was abandoned by the first emperor because of something and was very frustrated. Grandfather pretended to be drunk at a palace banquet, euphemistically expressed to the emperor that he hoped to marry the heavenly family, and praised the king. At that time, King Jing was almost certain to be out of the battle for the prince, and there was no scholar clan who wanted to marry him, so the first emperor thought that King Jing and his aunt were in love with each other, so he readily agreed and decreed marriage. ”

"Sure out? Although King Jing was not the descendant of the first emperor, our dynasty has learned the lessons of the previous dynasty's young lord's enthronement and the dictatorship of his relatives, and in fact has abandoned the outdated dogma of "establishing a successor but not a long-term heir". King Jing is the eldest son of the first emperor, he is rarely famous, wise and decisive, and it stands to reason that he should be very promising to seek a big position, how can he be sure to be out? ”

Xue Chunyue shook his head and said, "This was more than twenty years ago, and I'm afraid no one in your generation can know...... It would be nice to find someone who knows the secrets of the DPRK and China......"

"Familiar with the secrets of the DPRK and China? Speaking of which, I do know there is one. ”

"Who?"

"Hou Shizi of Jingyang, Cao Yingze."

"Who is Cao Yingze?" Xue Chunyue has been in the dynasty for several years, and it is the first time he has heard this name.

"Cao Shizi is the number one person in the circle of Changxing Gongzi, talented, handsome and free, disdainful of Zuyin, determined to take the examination room, explore flowers in high school, and go away with the crown in the important position of Beijing official that everyone envies, travel all over the world, and become a legend for a while."

"Humph......"

"What are you 'humming'?"

"I laugh at him but a person who sells fame and reputation, if there is no ancestral shade, where does the Jingyang Marquis Mansion get the money and status? Without this money and status, how can he hire a famous teacher to teach him? Without this teaching, how could he be full of talent and high school flowers? Without this talent, how can you make you think like crazy about him? Besides, isn't his handsome and chic skin also given to him by the Marquis of Jingyang? ”

"Who thinks about him like crazy! I'm just relaying the evaluation of him in Changxing! ”

Xue Chunyue saw Ye Qinyu staring at him with wide eyes, and looked really angry, so she hurriedly comforted her and said, "Okay, good, you don't, you don't...... It's just the people in the market who are crazy about him, not our otherworldly Miss Ye! But...... This Cao Shizi is just a romantic genius, how can he know the secrets of the DPRK and China? ”

Ye Qinyu slapped him on the shoulder, and then continued, "I'm not an otherworldly person, coincidentally, Cao Shizi is not either...... Hahaha......"

Xue Chunyue was angry for a while, pretending to be angry and said, "Hurry up and get down to business!" ”

Ye Qinyu said with a straight face, "Cao Shizi is not only not an otherworldly person, but also a person who likes to join in the fun, it is said that the story he came back with the excitement knows more than the storyteller with the best business in Changxing West Market." ”

"Hmph, but it's a good thing!"

"He is indeed a good person, but he is by no means a tongue-chewing person, he will listen to as much as you say, and will never get to the bottom of it, you can tell him a story, but if you want to listen to the story from him, you can pay attention to it, his story is only told to those who are destined, and he will not say a word to others."

Xue Chunyue suddenly wrinkled her eyebrows, "You know a lot about him?" Your aristocratic circle in Changxing, but are you messing with each other like this every day? ”

"No nonsense! Who's messing around...... I know him because of Xue Peiqi...... The two of them were good friends, so they often played together, and occasionally brought me with them, and that's when I met him. ”

"Oh."

Hearing Xue Chunyue, who was full of seriousness, only spit out this one word for a long time, Ye Qinyu suddenly couldn't cry or laugh, I don't know if those people outside who think Xue Chunyue is a powerful person will doubt their lives after knowing that he is jealous......

"Then where is this Cao Shizi now? How can a husband find him, and how can he become the destined person who can listen to the story? ”

"This really stumped me, I haven't seen him since he left Changxing four or five years ago to travel the world."

"Will the Marquis of Jingyang know his whereabouts?"

"Not necessarily. However, Xue Peiqi ...... You should know that they can be regarded as close friends. ”

"Xue Peiqi ......"

Xue Chunyue's face became more and more heavy, and the grievances between him and Xue Peiqi were really unreasonable.

Seeing him like this, Ye Qinyu snuggled his whole body into his arms, wrapped his waist around him, and said delicately, "Or...... I'll take a trip to Loan. ”

Ye Qinyu suddenly became coquettish, Xue Chunyue suddenly trembled, and was a little flustered, "What are you going to do in Luo'an, maybe the person who chased and killed the person who gave the permission is still in Luo'an, and we can show up less if we can." ”

"The target of those people is Uncle Xiao Zhun, not me, besides, Xue Peiqi is arrogant, and if he wants to change someone else, he may not be able to ask something from his mouth."

"Hmph."

"Okay, I'll bring Xinyan, he doesn't look at my face, but also at Xinyan's face, he and Xinyan have a small friendship."

"You're saying the other way around...... It should be that he doesn't look at the face of his heart, but also looks at your face, and you are the friendship of the small......"

Seeing Xue Chunyue's soft and hard appearance, Ye Qinyu was really helpless, he has always been calm and calm, but whenever he encounters something related to her, he will lose his mind so suddenly, I don't know whether to be happy or sad.

Jealousy is jealousy, the position of respecting the king is related to everyone's net worth and life, or it cannot be delayed, two days later, Xue Chunyue took advantage of the twilight to quietly send Ye Qinyu and Xinyan to the merchant ship of Taixiangxing Firm outside Changxing City, and left for Luo'an overnight.

Xue Chunyue and Ye Qinyu both understood that if the person behind all this was King Jing, it meant that he was the one who misled Shen Yue to avenge Ye Cizhun and finally completely overthrew King Xiangjun, and the real murderer who murdered Ye Cizhun was naturally him.

After Yi Ruhai took control of Ding Taihe, he redivided the business of Tai Xiang Xing, and merged all its shipping businesses into Ding Tai He, and Tai Xiang Xing only retained the goods trade business and concentrated on supporting Binzhou branch Tai Xiang Sheng. Therefore, after Ye Qinyu returned to Luo'an, he first went to Taixiang Xingli to sort out the accounts and re-locate the funds. Recently, she fought with Xue Huijin in Binzhou, and the funds flowed out continuously, and she must control the distribution of funds, and no matter what, she can't break the capital chain of Dingtaihe.

After the heavy capital of Luo'an Taixiangxing flowed out to Haizhou Dingtai and Binzhou Taixiangsheng, Luo'an was empty, although in the eyes of outsiders, Taixiangxing was still the glamorous big trading firm, but in the eyes of insiders, it has been full of drawbacks.

Take Taixiangxing's spice and liquor trade as an example, in the past, the warehouse door was full of traffic, and there was an endless stream of personnel, but no matter how busy, the warehouse will always have a surplus, and there will be no shortage of goods, nor will it be unsalable, but now look at its warehouse, although it is still full of traffic, lively and extraordinary, but it is that the shipment is greater than the purchase volume, and the inventory is about to bottom out, but there is no inflow of bulk goods.

Hengxingxing, who captured the information, saw the opportunity and launched an encirclement and suppression of Taixiangxing, provoking a price war.

Hengxing's spices, liquor, porcelain, silk, tea and other businesses in Luo'an jointly launched a large price reduction initiative, and the goods were of high quality and low price, and the supply was sufficient, which soon set off a wave in Luo'an. In the face of the menacing Hengxing line, Taixiangxing fell into a dilemma, now the inventory is not much, if followed by the price reduction and selling, it will only end up with a loss of goods and goods, but if not followed by the price reduction, then whether it is a customer or a subordinate dealer, will be put into the arms of Hengxingxing, resulting in the loss of customers.
