Rats leave a sinking ship. The wall fell and everyone pushed it.

Old Man Zhu has lived for almost a lifetime, and he is used to seeing such rights and wrongs. People in the world are the same, whether they are ordinary people or princes and nobles, there is only one word "profit" in their eyes.

If it is advantageous, it will gather, and if it is not profitable, it will be scattered, and it will not last long.

"King Jingrong has indeed been much worse than before in recent years, the prince is young and vigorous, and he has always been dissatisfied with his uncle, and now, the prince is on the throne, and it is a matter of time before he gets rid of this thorn in his eye...... The Qin family has received the favor of King Jingrong for so many years, and it is time to repay the favor. The world is impermanent, blessings and misfortunes depend on each other, this kind of time when the world is changing, no one can save anyone, no one can help anyone, they can only rely on themselves. ”

The Qin family is one of the four famous families in the capital, and its status is not trivial, and the Qin family has always produced beautiful women, and when it comes to the daughter of the Qin family, it is a combination of beauty and wisdom.

However, Xu Yes, there are pros and cons, the daughter of the Qin family is too good, so it seems that the men of the Qin family are not brilliant. Without the support of heirs, it is naturally not possible to rely only on marrying a daughter.

Zhu Feng understood what his father meant, that is, he didn't care about it, and he would never get into trouble easily.

Old Man Zhu reclined on the pillow, his legs covered with a fox skin blanket, and his face showed a tired look, "During the national funeral, everything in the family was simple, and it seemed that it would not work if I originally wanted to have a rich year." ”

Zhu Feng nodded: "In extraordinary times, we can only be aggrieved." ”

Old Man Zhu slowly closed his eyes, "As long as the family can be safe, tell your mother and wife the good news, and let them be down-to-earth." ”

In the past two days, everyone has worried a lot about Linluo's affairs, and the atmosphere at home is also dull.

Zhu Feng took the words and went to explain the matter to the old lady, who was very happy when she heard this, but immediately held back her mood. "Zhu Feng, hurry up and write a letter to your eldest sister to ask, how is the situation in the capital?"

Zhu Feng responded: "My son will write when he goes back." ”

Zhu Jun, who rarely spoke, couldn't help but speak: "I heard that the prince is a very ruthless person, and I am afraid that the way of this world will change." ”

Zhu Feng said lightly: "It doesn't matter if he is a faint monarch or a tyrant, what does it have to do with us ordinary people?" ”

Zhu Jun chuckled: "Big brother, you can see it so much? Although we are ordinary people, we also have to look at God's face to eat merchants. Selling shoes on sunny days and umbrellas on rainy days, you always have to have some news to protect you. ”

Zhu Feng groaned slightly: "We have a lot of friends in the capital, and the news is not short. If you want to climb the relationship, you have to see which branch is high?

”

Zhu Jun couldn't get used to his unstoppable arrogance, and secretly disdained it in his heart.

However, he also knew that the eldest brother's self-confidence was not groundless, and he did have many friends in the capital, those who had made friends by relying on his fame as the head of the Zhu family.

Although it is thousands of miles away from the capital, the Zhu family also changed the red light and colored silk, and hung white cloth and white lights at the door.

When Zhu Jintang came back from outside, he had already heard the news from the capital.

After dark, it was snowing again.

Zhu Jintang came back against the wind and snow and walked into the house expressionlessly.

Shen Yuechen stretched out his hand to dust off the snow on his cloak for him, and then asked, "Has Uncle heard about it?" ”

Zhu Jintang said "um", it was spread all over the city and outside the city, and he naturally knew about the things that everyone knew.

Shen Yuechen walked to the window and looked at the white lights swaying in the wind outside the courtyard, slightly depressed with the fine snow.

Although there were charcoal basins burning in the four corners of the house, they still couldn't stop the cold air from penetrating through the cracks in the windows.

Shen Yuechen turned around slightly, looked at Zhu Jintang with a tired expression, and said, "It's not too early, it's time for the eldest brother to rest." ”

Zhu Jintang took a sip of tea, frowned slightly, and said, "There are too many things today, I'm afraid I can't sleep even if I want to." After speaking, he took out another list, handed it to her, and said, "This is what I sent today, and there are two boxes of fine leathers, you can keep them first." ”

Shen Yuechen was slightly stunned, these New Year's goods were to be handed over to the upper room before, and then distributed by the elders to all parts of the hospital.

"The old lady said that everything in the house this year is simple, these things are things that can be saved, you can put them away first, and then take them out to honor them."

When Shen Yuechen heard this, she was still a little puzzled, but she still nodded: "The concubine knows." ”

Zhu Jintang followed the satin bag he had brought back earlier and handed it to Shen Yuechen, "You can also put this away and keep it for emergencies." ”

Shen Yuechen just put away the list, and when he saw the cloth bag he handed over, he was slightly surprised: "What is this?" ”

Zhu Jintang didn't speak, only let her open it and look at it by herself.

Shen Yuechen saw that the bag was heavy, so he directly stretched out his hand to open it, only to feel that the golden light flashed in front of him, and there were several golden ingots in the bag.

Shen Yuechen couldn't help but be stunned, he didn't expect that it would be filled with gold, the Zhu family has a special warehouse for storing gold and silver, and the gold is rarely exposed except for when it is used.

"Uncle, this money is ......," Shen Yuechen said puzzled.

Zhu Jintang said lightly: "This is the bonus silver I invested in outside, less than three hundred taels, you can collect it first." ”

Shen Yuechen thought for a while, and said in his heart: The silver invested outside is not the Zhu family's own business, is it his private money...... She pursed the corners of her mouth slightly, tied the bag, and said with a smile: "Since the uncle said so, the concubine must be taken care of." Then, he got up and put it away himself, and deliberately hid it in a box with a lock, and hid it thoroughly.

Zhu Jintang looked at her busy back, couldn't help but smile, and said in his heart: It seems that she is also a lover of gold.

The two gossiped for a while, and then stopped.

Shen Yuechen has been thinking about Ruan Linluo in her heart, which will know that she is fine, and her heart is also steady, and she sleeps more deeply. Zhu Jintang became lighter, kept an eye on the hour, and opened his pocket watch to take a look at it after a while, until dawn.

Shen Yuechen slept well all night and was refreshed, but seeing that Zhu Jintang beside him was still tired, he couldn't help but worry: "Uncle, didn't you sleep well last night?" I have dark circles under my eyes. ”

Zhu Jintang rubbed his head and said lightly: "Maybe I drink too much tea, and I always can't sleep well." ”

When Shen Yuechen heard this, she hurriedly ordered Chun Ming to bring a bowl of walnut almond milk over.

The milk is warm, and Shen Yuechen drinks some every morning and evening, so the kitchen has been prepared.

Zhu Jintang frowned and said, "I don't drink this kind of child's stuff." ”

Shen Yuechen saw that he deliberately put on an adult's shelf, and hurriedly smiled and coaxed: "What adults and children, as long as it is good for the body, the uncle should drink more." Uncle must have been too busy recently, black and white reversed, so he lost sleep. ”

As she spoke, she personally scooped up a spoonful of milk and handed it to his mouth, as if coaxing a child, and let out an "ah".

Zhu Jintang frowned, and reluctantly opened his mouth to take a sip.

Seeing this, Shen Yuechen had a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, and only fed him a whole bowl of milk.
