The family motto of the Zhu family, no one in the family is allowed to enter the court as an official. Zhu Yishi is the current head of the Zhu family, the leader of the new generation of this shipbuilding family. His father was extremely strict with him, both in terms of craftsmanship and personality, so Zhu Yishi twice rejected the kindness of General Lai Hu'er to invite him to join the Great Sui Water Division, but even so, he still had the title of township marquis on his head after all.

Although Zhu Yishi deliberately acted in a low-key manner, he still felt that he had violated the family rules set by his father. However, as time passed, after a few months, Zhu Yishi also adapted to this identity, and found that relying on this not too high title can bring a lot of benefits to the family, such as his Hongbin Building, no one dares to make trouble anymore. Although few people in Jiangdu City know that the behind-the-scenes boss of Hongbin Building is Zhu Yishi, this shipbuilding family that began to serve the imperial court in the first year of the emperor actually operates a lot of business, and Hongbin Building is just a small industry in the family business.

The Zhu family's biggest source of wealth is Cao Yun.

At the large and small wharves in the Yangtze River Basin, you can basically see the merchant ships of the Zhu family. Even the imperial court conquered Goguryeo twice, and hundreds of ships that transported grain from the waterway to Huaiyuan Town in western Liaoning belonged to the Zhu family. And when Zhu Yishi personally designed and led the craftsmen to build His Majesty the Emperor's dragon boat, the prestige of this family has reached its peak, even surpassing the period when the previous head of the family, Zhu Yahui, led the family, you must know that at that time, Yang Su, the Duke of Chu, and He Ruobi, the general, had a very close relationship with Zhu Yahui.

After returning to his house in Huayang Lane from Hongbin Building, Zhu Yishi locked himself in the study for a long time and did not come out. His wife Sun didn't know what was going on, and she didn't dare to disturb her husband, as long as she sent someone to invite Zhu Yishi's younger brother, Zhu Bushi.

Zhu Bushi is five years younger than Zhu Yishi, and his brother has loved him very much since he was a child, so Zhu Bushi also respects this eldest brother very much, and he has always stood on his eldest brother's side unconditionally in family affairs. No matter what decision Zhu Yishi makes, he is absolutely obedient and supportive.

The relationship between the two has been excellent since childhood, so the Sun family thought of inviting him in the first place.

Hurried from his yard to the outside of Zhu Yishi's study, Zhu Bushi briefly asked what happened, and then nodded to Sun and comforted a few words, he walked to the door and knocked lightly: "Big brother, it's me." ”

"Come in, Hyochang"

Xiaochang is the expression of Zhu Bushi.

Zhu Bushi pushed the door and walked into the study, and after getting used to the rather dim light in the study, he saw that the eldest brother was sitting at the desk in a daze, and there was a thick stack of parchment on the table in front of him. has been following the eldest brother's side, so Zhu Bushi can tell at a glance what the thick parchment is.

"What's going on?"

Zhu Bushi walked in front of Zhu Yishi, looked down at the fine drawings on the paper and asked.

Zhu Yishi raised his head and looked at his most trusted brother, and said with a wry smile: "Xiaochang, do you remember when we were children, once our father took us to Ye's grass house?" ”

Zhu Bushi thought about it and shook his head and said, "I was too young at that time, I can't remember, what happened to Ye's Caolu?" ”

Zhu Yishi said: "Someone came to the Ye family's grass house yesterday afternoon, and I met her in Hongbin Building. You know, our Zhu family and the Ye family are world friends, and Ye Liuyun, the previous head of the Ye family's grassland, and our father are close friends. So when someone came to the cottage, I naturally wanted to be treated, but ...... What I didn't expect was that the people from the Ye family actually had this purpose. ”

Zhu Bushi panicked for no reason, he subconsciously glanced at the parchment on the table and asked, "Won't it be?" ”

Zhu Yishi nodded and said, "That's right, Ye Huaisleeve, the head of the Caolu, wants to buy the dragon boat sample in my hand." ”

"What does she want the dragon boat to do, if she lets the court know, this is a big crime to kill the head! Big brother, you can't sell her the sample drawings if you say anything! Our Zhu family may be full of people because of this incident! ”

"Are you stupid for me?"

Zhu Yishi sighed: "Even if she wants to buy my head, as long as the price is enough, I have nothing to be reluctant to." But the sample of this dragon boat is too important. If the imperial court knew that someone wanted to buy such a picture, it was afraid that it would immediately take away the sample drawing. But this is the hard work of our Zhu family, and I can't bear to ruin it...... I heard that Ye Huaisleeve, the lord of the grass house, has a deep friendship with the people on the green forest road, and I suspect that she also bought such a picture for others. It can't be said that the heroes of the green forest who don't know the height of the sky and the thickness of the earth also want to learn from Your Majesty, but we can't afford to provoke the imperial court, and we may not be able to provoke the big heroes on the green forest road. Some of those people are highly skilled thieves, if they steal the sample drawings and rob them, our Zhu family will also suffer from the disaster of annihilation. ”

He looked at Zhu Bushi and said, "Xiaochang, you came just in time, I was going to send someone to invite you over." ”

Zhu Yishi pointed to the thick stack of sample drawings and said, "You take the sample drawings of the dragon boat first, find a safe place to hide them!" I'll talk about it later. I don't think Ye Huaisleeve can buy the drawings, and he will think of other ways. ”

"Big brother!"

Zhu Bushi panicked and said: "You are the head of our Zhu family, this dragon boat sample is the immortal treasure of our Zhu family, how can you give it to me?" I think...... If you can't do it, just report to the official, don't you have some friendship with Lord Yu Shihong, the prince of the mansion? Let's go find him! ”

"Looking for him?"

Zhu Yishi sneered: "Although our Zhu family can be called a big family, it can be said that it is only a businessman who does not enter the stream. How many people are jealous of our Zhu family's property? If it weren't for the fact that my father and Chu Gong were in love, and someone in the court took care of us, I don't know how many people coveted the wealth of our Zhu family and resorted to some shameless means. Yu Shihong? Since Yang Xuangan rebelled in Liyang, have you ever seen him come to the door? The son of Duke Chu is the opposite, if we hadn't taken the initiative to cut off contact with Yang Xuangan and moved our family to Jiangdu to avoid suspicion, I'm afraid we would have been affected by Zhulian a long time ago. Catch up with us to build a new dragon boat for Your Majesty, and no one can do anything to our family at this time! Now that the dragon boat has been built, if Yu Shihong knows about it, I'm afraid that he will be the first to secretly use the means! ”

"What then?"

At the mention of Yang Xuangan, Zhu Bushi was obviously stunned for a moment.

Zhu Bushi also had no idea: "Since you can't report to the official...... Why don't I ask my friends in the rivers and lakes for help? Big brother, I also know a lot of friends on the green forest road, spend some silver and ask them to remove Ye Huaisleeve! ”

"This ......"

Zhu Yishi frowned and muttered for a while: "We can't do this unless we have to, after all, Ye Huaichong just offered to buy a sample and his words were quite polite, in this way, you take the sample map away first, and then find someone to stare at Ye Huaichong, she lives in the Yuelai Inn in the west of the city, if there is anything unusual, it is no wonder that we don't miss the friendship between the two families of Zhu Ye." ”

"That's good!"

Zhu Bushi nodded and said, "I'll take the sample first, and I'll return it to the eldest brother after this while." ”

Zhu Yishi sighed and said, "You must be careful!" ”

Zhu Bushi said: "Big brother, don't worry! Even if I die, I won't lose the sample! ”

When he said this, a different look flashed in Zhu Bushi's eyes.

……

……

West of Jiangdu City, Yuelai Inn.

The best and most expensive in the Yuelai Inn is the guest rooms of the back few independent courtyards, these small courtyards are extremely clean, the environment is quiet, both the diet and the living conditions are much better than the wooden building in front. Of course, it's worth the money, and the money for a day in this small courtyard is enough to live in the upper room of the wooden building in front for ten days.

Therefore, all the guests who live in the back courtyard, the owner of the Yuelai Inn will be particularly concerned, because the people who can afford to live in the courtyard are all big customers, and maybe there is something great about the backstage, he does not dare to offend. And when Ye Huai stayed in one of the separate courtyards at the back, the owner of Yuelai Inn was even more concerned. To put it bluntly, he had never seen such a beautiful and flawless woman, and compared to her, the yellow-faced woman in his own family was simply useless.

Look at people's waists, look good, and behave like that, all of them are beautiful!

In particular, although this woman rarely goes out, she is quite polite to people, which makes it even more precious. You must know that those high-status women in the Qinglou still have to pick guests, which one is not a cold giant thousands of miles away?

Therefore, the food and living in the backyard in the past few days are personally taken care of by the owner of Yuelai Inn. The bedding was replaced with new ones, and he personally went to the kitchen to watch the meals, trying to make them as delicate and delicious as possible. However, he is also self-aware, knowing that a fairy-like character like others will definitely not look down on him, so he can't say ...... It's a canary raised by a big man in the court.

Coming out of the backyard, the owner of the Yuelai Inn felt a heat in his heart when he remembered the woman's indifferent smile just now, but when he thought of his wife's fierce appearance, the bucket-like waist, and the rolling pin in her hand that never left her hand all year round, the boss shuddered in his heart.

"Watch out!"

He whispered a word to the maid who was specially serving the guests in the backyard, and took the opportunity to rub two handfuls on the little girl's bulging breasts. Before I could enjoy it, I heard a roar behind me.

"Dead ghosts! It's hairy here again, and it's tight again, isn't it! ”

The boss was so frightened that he fled.

In the small courtyard, Jia'er looked at the boss with his head and smiled slightly, and then closed the courtyard door.

Back in the room, she smiled and said to Ye Huaisleeve: "Miss, I didn't expect that the boss's wife used a rolling pin to be quite disciplined, and she took a fierce and fierce way. ”

Ye Huaisleeve glanced at her and said, "Why have you become as poor as that guy in just a few days?" ”

Jia'er stuck out her little tongue, sat down on the chair and asked, "It seems that Zhu Yishi is still dead set on the imperial court, what should we do next?" ”

Ye Huaisleeve said: "Let's wait for Liu Heimin to find out all the details of the Zhu family in Jiangdu City, yesterday I directly said that I wanted to buy a sample of the dragon boat, but I just wanted to see how Zhu Yishi reacted." It seems that he really doesn't have the courage to hide things from the court, since this is the case, we have to start from other directions. ”

Jia'er said: "The Zhu family moved to Jiangdu in July, and before that, only Zhu Yishi and Zhu Bushi and their brothers took craftsmen to build dragon boats in Jiangdu. It seems that they are trying to avoid suspicion. ”

Ye Huai nodded and said, "After all, their Zhu family and Yang Xuangan are inextricably linked, and at this time, Zhu Yishi must be even more cautious." ”

She thought for a while and said, "The person who was staring at the Zhu family just now reported that Zhu Bushi entered Zhu Yishi's house and stayed for a long time before coming out, and when he came out, he was holding a very large package in his arms...... Jia'er, you personally took someone to keep an eye on Zhu Bushi! ”

She smiled and said: "There are two brothers in one family, the eldest brother has high prestige, and the second brother follows closely, it looks flawless." ”

"It's just...... Even if it's two brothers, isn't there a little gap? ”

Jia'er nodded and said, "Yes, miss, I'm just bringing a group of spies to keep an eye on him." ”

Ye Huaisleeve snorted, picked up the teacup, took a sip of fragrant tea, and suddenly burst out laughing. Jia'er asked in surprise, "Miss, what happy thing did you think of?" ”

Ye Huaichong smiled: "Flying Tiger secret spy...... What else do you want me to do, why is there so much mess in that little guy's head, isn't a person like him more tired than me? I've never seen a man before, and I've thought so carefully. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is greedy for life and afraid of death, but he is still a person who has fought countless times on the battlefield, and I don't know what kind of parents can give birth to such a demon. ”

Jia'er was dumbfounded, and then sighed: "I'm just afraid...... Is it because I have been struggling on the verge of death since I was a child that I have so many thoughts and means, right? ”

Ye Huaisleeve was stunned, nodded, thoughtful.
