The man under the plane tree turned around and smiled kindly at Zhu Mao.

"You're Zhu Mao, right? The sixth son of the Xinguo Mansion. I have read your Fu, and it is gorgeous and brilliant to read, and you have real talent in your chest. The second prince smiled slightly.

"Meet the Second Prince! It's not Zhu Mao, the second prince has read Mao's article, how can Mao be so lucky. Zhu Mao excitedly bowed to the second prince.

"Get up, no need to be polite." The second prince said softly: "You are the pillars of the world, and the future of the Great Zhou will depend on you, so you don't have to be polite to me." ”

Zhu Mao refused to get up, and his heart was agitated. Before, he didn't even have the opportunity to get acquainted with the children of those princely families, but now he actually met the second prince, and he appreciated it, it was like a dream.

Yan Shuyu smiled lightly beside him: "The second prince has read more than 10,000 volumes, and he has read all our poems and articles." Zhu Gongzi, get up quickly, do you want the second prince to help you personally. ”

Only then did Zhu Mao quickly stand up and stare at the second prince with his eyes.

For the whole day, Zhu Mao felt like he was in a dream. The second prince was such a gentle and courteous and humble prince, showing appreciation for him, which made him feel fluttering and difficult to control himself. He couldn't taste the food at the banquet at all, and his heart was tied to the second prince's every move.

The second prince didn't stay long, and after he left, Yan Shuyu found him and talked to him about the previous business of Hai's pharmacy.

"You mean, the business of Hai's Pharmacy is done by King Hejing's Mansion? Is there a second prince behind the money? After listening to Yan Shuyu's description, Zhu Mao asked puzzled.

"Yes. The second prince cared about the world, and he couldn't bear to see the people of the world suffering from hunger and disease, so he dragged his foreign family Jingwangfu to help purchase materials and help the poor. Not only did they buy herbs, but they also bought a lot of tools and cloth. The Hai family is one of the best pharmacies in Beijing, and I will handle the herbs. It's a pity that my father was confused some time ago, and he had to take hundreds of thousands of taels of silver to the Hai family, and the books of Hai's pharmacy were tight, and the turnover could not be opened, and I didn't know if he could complete the things assigned by the second prince. ”

Yan Shuyu said as she gently bit her lip with her teeth, stared at Zhu Mao with a pair of watery eyes, and pleaded softly: "Zhu Gongzi, I have known you for a long time, how does Shuyu treat Zhu Gongzi, does Zhu Gongzi have any ideas in his heart?" ”

The beauty was on the side, and she spoke like this, and Zhu Mao's heart couldn't help but be hot.

Yes, Yan Shuyu is not better to him than others. After Wei Qiao was dismissed by the four talents, many people wanted to fill it in, but Yan Shuyu didn't choose someone else, but chose him, who had known him for a short time at the time. At that time, he thought that Yan Shuyu had taken a fancy to his appearance, and it was not until the marriage between Yan Shuyu and the prince was decided that he knew that Yan Shuyu was not in him.

Yan Shuyu also took great pains to help him collect ancient books that served with plants. The silver he owes Yan Shuyu has not been repaid yet, and Yan Shuyu has never mentioned repaying the debt.

Every time there is a big or small party, Yan Shuyu always does not forget him and invites him to come.

These things, one by one, all came to his mind.

However, he really didn't have any money.

Zhu Mao sighed helplessly: "Miss Yan, I told you about the situation of the Xinguo Mansion, all the money and property of the Xinguo Mansion are in the hands of the mother-in-law at home, and the rest of the people have no private property......"

"Zhu Gongzi, as a good man, have you never thought about inheriting the family business of the Xinguo Mansion in the future?" Yan Shuyu interrupted Zhu Mao's words: "You also told me that the Duchess of Xinguo has no son. ”

"What ......" Zhu Mao was dumbfounded, unable to believe what Yan Shuyu said. He has five elder brothers above him, and there is no heir in the family, unless these five elder brothers die, how can he be his turn.

"I know you're sixth, but since we're all concubines, we're equal. I believe in your talent, and the future Duke of Xinguo will inevitably be Zhu Gongzi. Therefore, all the money is yours, and the Duchess of Xinguo should not hide it privately. ”

Listening to Yan Shuyu's sworn words, Zhu Mao couldn't help but moisten his eyes, even his biological mother didn't have the luxury of letting him inherit the title, but Yan Shuyu in front of him believed it. What man doesn't have blood and dreams, all he lacks is a confidant. Yan Shuyu is his confidant.

"Miss Yan, you don't have to say it. The day when Zhu inherits the title of the Duke of the Kingdom, there will be a good reward. ”

"Zhu Gongzi, if I say, I can help you get what belongs to you in advance now?" Yan Shuyu looked at Zhu Mao, and a bright smile bloomed on her lips.

"What did you say?" Zhu Mao was a little confused. Although the Xinguo Mansion is no longer alive, the Zhao family is still there, as long as the Zhao family does not die for a day, she has the right to ask the person who will inherit the title of the Xinguo Mansion, which also means that she has the right to pressure the title of the Xinguo Mansion not to be inherited by anyone, and she can even apply to the emperor to ask for the deprivation of the title of the Xinguo Mansion on the grounds that she has no biological son.

Does Yan Shuyu know someone who can talk about the Zhao family in private?

As if seeing Zhu Mao's thoughts, Yan Shuyu said slowly: "Your mother-in-law can't touch her now, but don't forget, we have a second prince here, as long as you help the second prince, the second prince will definitely repay you, and you will be able to inherit the title sooner or later." I'm talking about helping you get money from the Xinguo Mansion, and I have a good solution. ”

Yan Qingge and Yan Xiuyu listened to Zhu Mao's narration and guessed what Yan Shuyu's "good way" was.

She just changed Aunt Hai's previous practice of stealing the Yan family's library a little and told Zhu Mao. Zhu Mao was stupid, and really stole the things of the Xinguo Mansion, shoddy, and then invested the money in the Haijia Pharmacy.

Aunt Hai's stealing of books is not secretive, and her means are also very superb, but it is not that the incident has been revealed, and there is no paper in the world that can wrap the secret of fire.

Not to mention the expensive antiques and other things in the Xinguo Mansion, if you want to build an inferior guy and replace it, it's just a fool's dream, and you can only talk about masturbation.

The more Zhu Mao on the ground spoke, the more resentful he became, and said loudly like pouring beans from a bamboo tube: "After I stole those antiques, I handed them all over to her, and Hai's Pharmacy got the money and opened several new branches, which were specially used to purchase medicinal materials for the prince. Yan Shuyu said that if we make money, we will divide the account in eighty-two, but I didn't expect her to want to swallow it all privately. ”

"How do you know she's trying to swallow it?" Yan Qingge asked Zhu Mao.

Zhu Mao said: "Miss Yan, she brought me into the Yan family with a clever tongue, didn't she just want me to ruin my reputation." Once I have an accident, the stolen antiques of the Xinguo Mansion will become ownerless, and the Xinguo Mansion will have no way to claim it back. Who else is cheaper in the end? Everything is Yan Shuyu's fault! He looked at Yan Qingge with flickering eyes, and said mournfully: "Miss Yan, I have always respected you, and I will never dare to have crooked thoughts about you that I can't change, it's all Yan Shuyu who lied to me." ”

Yan Qingge heard that he still dared to argue for the things hidden in the Yan family, and said stiffly: "Zhu Mao, you don't have to wash yourself up here." ”

Yan Xiuyu listened for a long time, but he was thoughtful, and suddenly interjected and asked, "Oh? Then tell me, what are you really doing when you come to Yan's house. ”

Zhu Mao was a little afraid of Yan Xiuyu, he lowered his head and said, "Yan Shuyu asked me to come, I don't know what to do." ”

"Since you don't say it, I'll send you to the Criminal Department for a good trial. In this Yan family, at most, you can only give you a board, but it is not pleasant to be judged. Yan Xiuyu said lightly.

Zhu Mao's face turned pale, and he went to the Criminal Department, at least half of his life was left inside, not to mention that he was a concubine who stole family property, and disguised himself as a maid and hid in someone else's lady's boudoir, both of which were felonies.

has reached this point, Zhu Mao's mind turned sharply, and he simply said loudly: "Little Lord Yan, I will recruit, I will recruit!" Yan Shuyu said that this was the order of the second prince, and asked me to help her to ruin the reputation of the eldest lady of the Yan family. After the matter was completed, he forced the Zhao family to let me inherit the title. ”

"Nonsense." Yan Qingge clenched his fists angrily: "Do you think that if you climb out of the second prince, I won't dare to punish you." ”

"I'm not talking nonsense. The second prince said...... said...... Zhu Mao sighed, looked at Yan Qingge's face, and hesitated: "If it happens, His Royal Highness the Prince and Yanwangfu will inevitably be centrifugal, and when the time comes, he will be drawn to Yanwangfu, and I can go to Dali Temple to practice, that is, I have a title and a real position, and the future is ...... The future is limitless. ”

Yan Qingge didn't expect Zhu Mao to reveal such a big secret, in addition to Yan Xiuyu and her, there were still a lot of maids and wives in the house.

The second prince is bouncing in Beijing every day, and his reputation is more famous than that of the prince. But no one has ever pierced the second prince's disobedience, and in the eyes of most people, it is the crown prince who should really inherit the throne of the Great Zhou Emperor.

The maids lowered their heads one by one and did not dare to gnaw. If you hear too much about these royal things, you will really die.

However, according to Yan Qingge's understanding, this thing can really be done by the second prince.

In this spring's draft, the prince begged to marry her, and the second prince probably knew about it a long time ago, so he resorted to such a plan. She was also strange before, the future of her and Yan Shuyu has become two unrelated lines, why Yan Shuyu still doesn't let her go, and now she knows the reason, it turns out that there are two princes who are in the way.

These two princes are really getting more and more arrogant.

He wantonly purchased medicines and other scarce materials needed for war, and sowed discord between the crown prince and his subordinates, eyeing the throne, as long as anyone who knew a little bit of the inside story would be shocked.

According to the calculation of time, in about three years, the crown prince should succeed to the throne, and before the second prince rebelled, he was pressed by the prince in the nest, together with his mother and biological brothers, as well as the entire Jingwang Mansion, and disposed of together.

It can be said that the happier you are now, the more miserable you will be in the future.

But Yan Qingge was very uneasy in her heart, after she was reborn, many things were different.

For example, before being reborn, Yan Shuyu had always stood beside the prince and been his confidante. In this life, Yan Shuyu was mixed with the second prince.

Zhu Mao on the ground told his biggest secret, and suddenly felt much more relaxed.

Yan Qingge and Yan Xiuyu glanced at each other, and from each other's eyes, they saw the same meaning: This Zhu Mao must not stay in the Yan family anymore.

This matter is no longer a simple case of a thief hiding in the boudoir, nor is it just a simple case of a concubine stealing family property. This Zhu Mao is clearly an important witness in the rebellion case.
