Chapter 106: Helping each other
Seeing that his face was angry, she said again: "Don't be in a hurry to get angry first, listen to the juniors talk about the pros and cons of this matter first." ”
Qian Lao held his breath and rolled his eyes reluctantly: "You say." ”
Let's see if she can name a flower.
Zhao Yueqiu suddenly didn't see Qian Lao's impatience: "The prince is pure and kind, if you help her, she will definitely remember your kindness, if you ascend the throne in the future, there is a royal family to open the way for the Qian family, and the Qian family may be able to reach its peak." ”
"The crown prince succeeds to the throne? It's too early to tell. ”
As we all know, Emperor Jin An is in his prime, as long as he is properly maintained, it is not a problem to live for another twenty or thirty years.
The most important thing is that although he has only one prince under his knees for the time being, and he has also established the East Palace, who can say what will happen in a few decades?
In the past few decades, maybe a few more princes will pop up, forming a trend of seizing the heir.
Besides, his rich family is rich, but he has no power, who can say exactly what the situation will be in a few decades.
It is not cost-effective to exchange the endless troubles of the present for the unknown in the future.
"It is said that mercenary is the nature of businessmen, why don't you take this opportunity to subvert the people's previous thinking? Not to mention improving the status of 'business' for the time being, at least the Qian family, as the richest man in the Great Jin Dynasty, will convince the people. ”
"The tree is big, the gun shoots the first bird, the Qian family has set up a lot of enemies over the years, even if Qian Lao is not for himself, he must think about the descendants of the family."
"Ants can't shake elephants, but when an elephant dies, thousands of ants can disperse and eat it in an instant."
From the moment she spoke, the contempt on Qian Lao's face gradually disappeared, and the light in his eyes flickered, turning into solemn and suspicious.
In particular, she said that the tree is very popular, and he thinks so.
The previous farce of Baihui Pavilion proved that his opponents could no longer bear it, if one day the Qian family fell......
There is no doubt that the wall is falling and everyone is pushing it.
At that time, the Qian family may have no bones.
Sensing Qian Lao's vacillation, Zhao Yueqiu's tone became more and more indifferent.
In an unknown corner, she was so nervous that her palms were sweating.
"That's it, the juniors said, this is a business, whether to do it or not, it all depends on what you mean."
After the last sentence fell, Zhao Yueqiu lowered her eyelids, took a small sip of the teacup in her hand, and the slightly cool tea ran down the throat to relieve the urgency caused by the high tension.
She was not in a hurry, she sat on the side, and made a harmless appearance.
The pros and cons of the matter have been clearly stated, and now she only needs to wait for Qian Lao to make a final decision.
Although there is only a one-word difference between doing and not doing, the future that can be brought to the Qian family cannot be known.
One is good and one is bad, one is light and one is heavy.
If Qian Lao cares about the descendants of the family in his heart, he will have to think about planning for the younger generations.
Getting the gratitude of the East Palace can keep the Qian family safe for at least forty years.
During this period, as long as the Qian family did not do treason with the enemy, they could survive in Dajin for a long time.
Qian Lao and Yan Lao looked at each other.
I have to say that things turned out somewhat unexpectedly.
They were originally adhering to the tolerance of the elders to the younger generations, so they would sit here and prepare to listen to her nonsense.
Now it seems that it is not completely nonsense, and it sounds a little reasonable.
How to choose?
To choose or not to choose is troublesome.
The two old men were human spirits who had cultivated for many years, so they naturally knew the weight of Zhao Yueqiu's words.
One sentence from the East Palace is enough to make them re-examine this incident.
Yan has an in-law relationship with the royal family in his family, in order to avoid suspicion, and also not to wade into this troubled water, he consciously shut his mouth and did not disturb Qian Lao's thoughts.
He had a fateful friendship with Qian Lao, but the Qian family is the Qian family, and Qian Lao is Qian Lao.
Now sitting in front of him is the head of the Qian family, not the old Qian naughty boy who can joke.
For a long time, time passed through the fingers.
The sound of music and bamboo outside the box has not decreased, and there seems to be a trend of becoming more and more lively.
After the song was finished, the music died down, and Qian Lao, who had been thinking for a long time, lifted his eyelids and looked weird.
"What you said today is your intention, or is it the order of the prince of the East Palace before leaving?"
Hearing this, Zhao Yueqiu's expression was gentle and silent: "As a common man of the Great Jin Dynasty, why do you need His Highness to speak?" Sharing worries for His Royal Highness is within the purview of the younger generations. ”
The implication is that Qi Changrong doesn't know.
got the expected answer, Qian Lao's expression was relieved, and he looked like he was really like this.
'Matters within the division', the weight revealed by these words is very unusual.
He kind of understood, today's play was originally directed and acted by Zhao Yueqiu, and the prince of the East Palace didn't even know it.
Worry about the prince?
In addition to the courtiers' staff, the only ones who can do this are the so-called 'inner sons'.
There are many ladies who covet the position of the hostess of the East Palace, but among the people he knows, she is the most powerful one.
Thinking of this, Qian Laomao suddenly opened his mouth and asked: "What if the prince turns his face and denies people in the future?" ”
"The prince is a man, and heaven and earth can prove it."
Qian Lao waved his hand: "I don't believe in these falsehoods, Miss Zhao still has to show real sincerity." ”
Zhao Yueqiu frowned, knowing that if she couldn't satisfy Qian Lao, everything she had done before would be in vain.
She thought about it for a while, and finally said: "The younger generation can't make a promise on behalf of the prince, if the Qian family mansion will collapse, I am willing to do my best to protect the blood of the Qian family at all costs." ”
Qian Lao: "......"
It stands to reason that he should be upset.
However, the world is impermanent, and even if he is unhappy, he must admit that the family of merchants is the most complicated.
Therefore, since ancient times, it is not unreasonable for the people to say that officials and businessmen collude.
"That's it, if the money is taken from the people, it should be used for the people, and when I go back, I will let Xiusheng set off for Jianzhou to assist the prince."
"Money is righteous."
……
Leisurely singing and dancing are still the same, but Zhao Yueqiu in the Tianzi room has no time to taste the joy of 'the rest of his life after the catastrophe'.
She led her personal maid into the porch and under the rain curtain, and got into the carriage as usual, with a faint smile on her face, as if she really just came here to listen to music.
The interior of the car is small and a little stuffy.
Miao opened the small window and rolled a thin veil to prevent the drizzle from outside.
The stuffiness dissipated a bit.
"Girl, you have gone to great lengths to help the prince, should you take the initiative to write to inform her?"
After all, after wasting so much effort and asking so many people, they can't do good deeds without being known, right?
Zhao Yueqiu's sincere dedication Qingmiao saw it in her eyes, and naturally looked at her own girl, and she was even more distressed.
Zhao Yueqiu couldn't help but smile when she saw her frowning.
"Even if I don't say some things, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will know, don't underestimate her."
She was very sure that even if Qi Changrong was thousands of miles away from Shangjing, the matter of Shangjing would still not escape her control.
As the East Palace, she grew up here since she was a child, and the affairs of the court are changing rapidly, with few pairs of eyes staring here, how can she rest assured that she can travel far away?
She didn't let Qian Lao deliberately hide it, and even ...... There are other plans.
The rain gradually subsided, and when the carriage drove back to Zhao's mansion, the fog outside had also dispersed a little.
Seeing Zhao Yueqiu coming back, the porter immediately greeted her, and said to her worriedly: "Girl, the master has been waiting for you for a long time. ”
"What's wrong?" Zhao Yueqiu lifted the hem of her skirt and crossed the threshold, and asked as she walked, "Why is this expression?" ”
The porter sighed: "General Jun sent a messenger to deliver a letter, and since he received the letter, the lord has been a little unhappy. ”
Needless to say, it must be the problem with that letter.
Zhao Yueqiu nodded clearly, it must have been her cousin who said something about her in the letter.
That's why my father was in a hurry to see her.
As soon as she stepped into the main hall, Zhao Yueqiu still had the moisture on her body.
Zhao Li frowned, his face was slightly gloomy, and he sat in his seat without saying a word, as if he was contemplating.
He had an unfolded piece of paper at his hand.
Zhao Yueqiu walked over, picked up the letter paper by herself, and read it in ten lines at a glance.
Junchen's rogue font is very uninhibited, but it does not prevent her from understanding the meaning of the letter.
He was tactfully persuading his father not to be obsessed with the East Palace, and it was best to find a good family for her to marry as soon as possible, or find a well-behaved son and brother to enter the Zhao Mansion.
Inside and outside the words, it all means the same thing over and over again.
Zhao Yueqiu didn't quite understand.
Why is Junchen so stubborn?
Zhao Li raised his eyes to look at her: "What do you think?" ”
The corners of Zhao Yueqiu's mouth curved, and without hesitation, she tore the letter in half, and pouted: "No, my cousin is stubborn, are you also stubborn?" ”
Seeing her tear up the letter, Zhao Li didn't react much.
For this scene, he had expected it a long time ago.
Whether it is Junchen or his daughter, they are like stones in a pit, smelly and hard.
When there is a disagreement, no one can convince anyone.
Thinking about it, he sighed, "How do you want to do it now?" ”
From the moment Zhao Yueqiu stepped out of the mansion, he had been sending people to follow her, both for protection and for monitoring.
What happened to Youranju, his heart was like a mirror.
Zhao Yueqiu didn't hide it from him, touched his nose, and honestly said his plan: "The head of the Qian family promised to help, and he will leave in the next two days." My daughter had already packed her luggage a few days ago and planned to go with them, so she had a good time to take care of her on the way. ”
This is something she had planned for a long time.
If he went on the road alone, for safety reasons, my father would not have agreed to it anyway.
With the Qian family leading the way, it will be much safer along the way.
"When did you start preparing for it?"
Zhao Li looked at her carefully, and suddenly found that he had been underestimating his daughter.
I thought it was a delicate flower raised at home, and I needed to hold it in the palm of my hand, but I didn't expect it to be an overly assertive overlord flower.
This vigorous and resolute, just go momentum, maybe not even a man can compare.
Zhao Yueqiu paused, choosing the former between telling the truth and choosing to fool him.
"The moment the prince stepped out of the city gate, his daughter had already begun to prepare."
At the moment of "......", the old father was speechless.
The father and daughter stared at each other, and the atmosphere was extremely solemn.
In the end, it was still Zhao Li who was defeated in her persistence.
He waved his hand, as if he had aged ten years in an instant: "Forget it, the matter has come to this, it's useless to talk about it." ”
