According to the Zhu family's family motto, no one in the family is allowed to be an official in the court.Zhu Yishi is the current head of the Zhu family, the new generation leader of this shipbuilding family.His father had very strict requirements on him, both in terms of craftsmanship and personality, so Zhu Yishi twice rejected the kindness of General Lai Huer to invite him to join the Tai Sui Navy, but even so, he still had a lot on his head. The title of a country marquis.

Although Zhu Yishi deliberately kept a low profile, he still felt that he had violated the family rules set by his father.However, as time went by little by little, Zhu Yishi got used to this status after a few months, and found that relying on this not too high title can bring many benefits to the family, such as his Hongbin Building, and then No one dared to make trouble.Although few people in Jiangdu City know that the behind-the-scenes owner of Hongbin Building is Zhu Yishi, this shipbuilding family that has been working for the imperial court since the first year of the founding of the emperor actually still runs a lot of business, and Hongbin Building is just a small family business. an industry.

The biggest source of income for the Zhu family is water transportation.

Zhu's merchant ships can basically be seen in large and small docks in the Yangtze River Basin.Even when the imperial court conquered Goguryeo twice, hundreds of ships transporting 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's dragon boat, the prestige of this family has reached its peak, even surpassing the period when the previous patriarch Zhu Yahui led the family. You must know that at that time, Chu Gong Yang Su He has very close relationship with Generals He Ruobi and Zhu Yahui.

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

Zhu Bushi is five years younger than Zhu Yishi, and his elder brother loved him very much since he was a child, so Zhu Bushi also respects this elder brother very much. He has always stood by his elder brother unconditionally in family affairs .No matter what decision Zhu Yishi made, he absolutely obeyed and supported it.

The relationship between the two has been very good since they were young, that's why Mrs. Sun thought of inviting him at the first time.

Rushing from his yard to the outside of Zhu Yishi's study, Zhu Bushi simply asked what happened, then nodded to Sun Shi and said a few words of comfort, he walked to the door and knocked lightly. Knock on the door: "Brother, it's me."

"Come in, Xiaochang"

Xiaochang is Zhu Bushi's surname.

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

"What happened?"

Zhu Bushi walked up to Zhu Yishi, looked down at the detailed pictures on the paper and asked.

Zhu Yishi raised his head to look at his most trusted brother, and said with a wry smile: "Xiaochang, do you remember when we were young, our father took us to Ye's thatched cottage once?"

Zhu Bushi thought for a while, shook his head and said, "I was too young at that time to remember, what happened to Ye's thatched cottage?"

Zhu Yishi said: "Yesterday afternoon, someone came to the Ye Family's thatched cottage, and I met her in the Hongbin Building. You know, our Zhu family and the Ye family are family friends, and the previous head of the Ye family's thatched cottage, Ye Liuyun and Our father is a close friend. So when someone came from the thatched cottage, I naturally wanted to treat him well, but... what I didn't expect was that the person from the Ye family actually came for this purpose."

Zhu Bushi panicked for no reason, subconsciously glanced at the parchment on the table and asked, "Could it be?"

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

"What does she want the sample of the dragon boat for? If the court finds out, it will be a serious crime of beheading! Brother, no matter what, you can't sell the sample to her! Our Zhu family may be imprisoned because of this matter." !"

"Do you think I'm stupid?"

Zhu Yishi sighed: "Even if she wants to buy my head, as long as the price is enough, I won't be reluctant. But this dragon boat sample is too important. If the imperial court knows that someone wants to buy such a picture, I'm afraid it will immediately reject it." The plan is to take it away. But this is the hard work of our Zhu family, and I don’t want to ruin it... I heard that the owner of the thatched cottage, Ye Huaixu, has a deep friendship with the people on the Green Forest Road. I suspect that she bought it for others. It’s like this picture. Maybe it’s a hero who doesn’t know the heights of the sky and the earth wants to imitate His Majesty, but we can’t afford to offend the imperial court, and we may not be able to offend the big men on the Green Forest Road. Some of those people have highly skilled thieves under their command. If Tu stole it, robbed it, our Zhu family will suffer disaster."

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 samples and said, "Take away the samples of the dragon boat and find a safe place to hide them! I'll talk about it after this paragraph. I don't think Ye Huaixiu can't buy the blueprints. I will think of other ways.”

"Big brother!"

Zhu Bushi panicked and said: "You are the head of our Zhu family. How can you give me this dragon boat pattern that is an inexistent treasure of our Zhu family? I think... If it doesn't work, report it to the official. Aren't you a little bit like the lord Yu Shihong?" Friendship? We can go find him!"

"Looking for him?"

Zhu Yishi sneered and said: "Although our Zhu family can be called a big family, we are still just a household of low-level merchants. How many people are jealous of our Zhu family's property? If it weren't for the irresistible relationship between our father and Chu Gong, the court would There are people taking care of us, who knows how many people covet our Zhu family's wealth and resort to shameless means. Yu Shihong? Ever since Yang Xuangan rebelled in Liyang, have you ever seen him visit? Duke Chu's son rebelled, If we hadn't taken the initiative to sever contact with Yang Xuangan, and moved our family to Jiangdu to avoid suspicion, I'm afraid we would have been implicated a long time ago. And we are building a new dragon boat for His Majesty, so no one can attack our family at this time! Now the dragon boat is gone If you let Yu Shihong know about this, I'm afraid he will be the first one to use tricks secretly!"

"What should I do?"

When Yang Xuangan was mentioned, Zhu Bushi was obviously taken aback.

Zhu Bushi also lost his mind: "Since I can't report to the government...how about I ask friends in the rivers and lakes for help? Brother, I also know a lot of friends in the green forest road. Spend some money and ask them to remove Ye Huaixiu!"

"This……"

Zhu Yishi frowned and pondered for a while, "We can't do this unless it's absolutely necessary. After all, Ye Huaishu just proposed to buy a sample picture and his words are still polite. In this way, you take away the sample picture first, and then find someone to watch it." Ye Huaishu, she lives in the Yuelai Inn in the west of the city, if there is anything unusual, it's no wonder we don't miss the friendship between the Zhuye family."

"Well!"

Zhu Bushi nodded and said, "I'll take the sample picture away first, and I'll return it to elder brother after a while."

Zhu Yishi sighed, "Be careful!"

Zhu Bushi said: "Brother, don't worry! Even if I die, I won't lose the sample picture!"

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

……

……

In the west of Jiangdu City, Yuelai Inn.

The best and most expensive ones in Yuelai Inn are the guest rooms in the back few single-door courtyards. These small courtyards are extremely clean and the environment is quiet. Both food and living conditions are much better than those in the wooden building in front.Of course, it was worth the money, the money for renting this small courtyard for one day was enough to live in the upper room of the wooden building in front for ten days.

Therefore, the owner of Yuelai Inn will pay special attention to all the guests who live in the private courtyard at the back, because those who can afford to live in the private courtyard are big customers, and there may be some important status background, he dare not offend.And when Ye Huaishu moved into one of the private courtyards at the back, the owner of the Yuelai Inn became even more concerned.To be honest, he had never seen such a beautiful and flawless woman. Compared with her, the yellow-faced woman in his family was nothing.

Look at his waist, his looks, his manners, everything is beautiful!

In particular, although this woman seldom goes out, she is quite polite to others, which is even more precious.You must know that those prostitutes with higher status in the brothel still have to pick customers, who doesn't look like a cold giant who is thousands of miles away?

Therefore, the food and daily life in the backyard these days are all taken care of by the owner of Yuelai Inn.The quilts were all replaced with new ones, and he also went to the kitchen to watch the meals himself, trying to make them as delicate and delicious as possible.However, he also has self-knowledge, knowing that a person like a fairy like him will definitely not look up to him, so it is impossible to say... that he is a canary raised by some important person in the court.

Coming out of the backyard, the owner of the Yuelai Inn felt hot when he thought of the woman smiling indifferently just now, but when he thought of his wife's fierce appearance, her waist like a bucket, and the perennial root in her hand The owner of the rolling pin, who never left his hand, shuddered in his heart.

"Serve carefully!"

He whispered a command to the maid who waited on the guests in the backyard, and took the opportunity to rub the little girl's newly bulging chest twice.Before he was finished, he heard a roar behind him.

"Damn! You're messing around here again, and your skin is tight again!"

The boss ran away in fright.

In the small courtyard, Jiaer smiled slightly as she saw the boss scurrying around with her head in her arms, and then closed the courtyard door.

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

Ye Huaixiu rolled her eyes and said, "How come you have become as poor-mouthed as that guy in just a few days?"

Jiaer stuck out her tongue, sat down on the chair and asked
