When Zhu Yunxi heard what Lao Zhu said, his heart was immediately filled with emotion, and he even felt ashamed of his petty temper.

It turned out that the old man had always been thinking about his affairs, and had long thought about renovating the palace he used to live in and giving it to himself.

However, I actually misunderstood him, thinking that he was a stingy man who always deceived me again and again.

"Grandpa Huang, I...I don't deserve to live here..."

When Lao Zhu heard this, he felt a sting in his heart. How much bullying had this child endured to make him feel so inferior...

No, I have to find someone to find out when I go back. How many grievances this child has suffered over the years, I want to make amends for him!

Lao Zhu grabbed Da Sun's hand arrogantly and led him into the old and dilapidated Wu Palace.

Although this place has been abandoned for a long time, the Ministry of Works has sent people to clean it because it needs to be renovated.

Therefore, although the palace is dilapidated, the ground is very clean, without even a single weed.

When Lao Zhu revisited his hometown, he also had a big dream in his life and felt that the world was desolate for several times.

I remember that when he was squatting here, he still kept in mind the nine-character policy of "build walls high, accumulate grain widely, and become king slowly".

However, thirty years have passed, and the people who proposed this nine-character policy have passed away. Only this dilapidated palace still stands here. It will continue to stand until I am sent away...

"Dasun, don't look at the desolation here. Back then, this was the busiest place in the capital!"

"When we fought against Chen Youliang, this was where we deployed our troops, raised food and fodder, and strategized!"

When Lao Zhu mentioned the origin, he immediately took Da Sun to the main hall, pointed to the cases in the main hall and said.

"You see this table, right? We read a lot of books here at that time, including classics and history, everything!"

"It's just that we didn't read books when we were young, so we just learned a few words from the old monks in the temple. We couldn't understand many things after reading them."

"I could only watch and listen to people explain it to us. I was afraid that those scholars would lie to us, so I had to secretly find a few more people to explain it to us. Only then did I learn the skills of governing the country!"

"You must cherish the hard-won opportunity to study now. You must know that you can sit in the main hall and study quietly. That is what the emperor fought for with his life!"

Zhu Yunxi nodded heavily, realizing for the first time that he was a little bastard who had failed this old man all this time.

"Grandpa Huang, I know I was wrong. I will study hard in the future!"

When Lao Zhu heard Da Sun say this, he felt very happy.

If I had known that this child was so easy to coax, I should have brought him here for on-site education earlier.

This is much easier than giving him hundreds of whips!

After beating him last time, I was so tired that my arms were sore for two or three days...

Lao Zhu led Zhu Yunxi to the west wall and pointed to the area on the wall that was obviously different in color from other places.

"This used to be a big bookshelf, but now the books and shelves have been moved to the main hall of the palace."

"When you go to the main hall to study in the future, you will be able to read the same books we saw back then!"

"Let me tell you a little secret. We have annotated many books. Whenever you find a book that we annotated back then, I will reward you with a delicious meal!"

When Zhu Yunxi saw that Lao Zhu was coaxing him like a child, he immediately pouted unhappily.

"I'm not greedy..."

"Yes, yes, a bear has four paws in total, and we ate them all by myself!"

When Zhu Yunxi saw Lao Zhu exposing his shortcomings, no matter how thick-skinned he was, he couldn't help but blush.

"Didn't I just eat a few claws..."

"Besides, I don't eat it all by myself. Xiao Ming and the others also share half of it each!"

Lao Zhu felt even more pleased when he heard this.

This is the reason why he values ​​this child the most. He will even give a bear's paw to his sisters. When he rules the world in the future, he will naturally be able to accommodate other vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty!

Lao Zhu took his eldest grandson to wander around the Wu Palace, pointing out each building and explaining its use one by one.

After the two of them walked around, Zhu Yunxi said worriedly.

"Grandpa Huang, this palace is too big. Isn't it a waste for me to live alone?"

Before Lao Zhu could speak, Qin Deshun, who was waiting at the side, quickly explained with a smile.

"Your Highness the Third Emperor, you will have guards, maids, and eunuchs to serve you in the future. How can you say you live alone?"

"Besides, when you come of age in a few years, the Emperor will have to marry you a concubine!"

When Lao Zhu heard Qin Deshun's words, he immediately realized a problem. There were too few eunuchs and maids serving Da Sun.

There were only two maids to sweep the courtyard, and a young eunuch, which was a bit shabby.

"Xiao Qin, go back and send more people to our grandson's palace. How can grandson not even have a few useful people!"

Qin Deshun was about to agree, but Zhu Yunxi declined.

"Grandpa Huang, my grandson doesn't need anyone to take care of him. Wang De and I are living a good life."

"Why is this?"

"Grandpa Huang, as the grandson of the emperor, I am born with fine clothes and fine food. This is already a great blessing."

"As a person, you must cherish your blessings. Only by cherishing your blessings can you last long."

"Besides, I can dress and eat by myself, so I don't need so many people to wait on me!"

When Lao Zhu heard Da Sun's words, his heart moved slightly. Thinking of what the imperial doctor had said that his life would be short, he no longer insisted on filling his palace with people.

As everyone knows, the reason why Zhu Yunxi refused so simply was because he didn't want a group of people around him to stare at him every day and then go to Lao Zhu from time to time to report.

After all, he has too many things to do, and he secretly writes books every day. If this old man finds out, will he still have a good life in the future?

When the two of them left Wu Palace and got on the carriage again, the atmosphere was not as lively as when they first arrived.

Zhu Yunxi talked and laughed along the way, pointing to buildings on the roadside from time to time and asking about their uses.

Lao Zhu looked at his eldest grandson who was happy again, and was secretly proud of himself. He was proud that he could coax this rebellious grandson into peace with just a few tricks.

However, when the carriage drove towards the Imperial Academy, Zhu Yunxi became nervous again and secretly glanced at Lao Zhu from time to time, guessing Lao Zhu's purpose of bringing him here.

Although Zhu Yunxi hid in the palace for ten days, the business of Sanwei Bookstore not only did not stop, but also became more prosperous.

Even some of the new things he planned before were realized by the store manager Ding Hao.

Zhu Yunxi looked at the reward list hanging outside the shop and saw that Jin Ping Mei topped the list. The reward amount was a full 900 taels of silver, which was much higher than the second place of 800 taels of silver. He felt secretly proud in his heart.

It seems that I copied it correctly this time. This book is enough to earn me a few years ago, hahaha!

But when he saw Dou Po at the bottom of the list, Zhu Yunxi's face immediately darkened.

It's all my fault for this crappy book. If it weren't for printing this crappy book, I wouldn't have had to pawn the jade cabbage, but instead fell into someone else's trap!

When Lao Zhu saw the sign on the reward list, curiosity suddenly appeared on his face.

"What is this?"

"Back to Grandpa Huang, this is the reward list. Book lovers can reward a certain book if they like it. As long as the book writer writes the book within a certain time, he can take away half of the reward.

."

"What about the other half?"

"Of course it belongs to the bookstore!"

Lao Zhu smashed his mouth when he heard this, and he held it in for a long time before he could say two words.

"So dark!"

"Just for such a brand, half of the money will be taken away from others. This is not ordinary..."

Zhu Yunxi was unconvinced on the spot when he heard this.

"Grandpa Huang, you can't say that."

"If the bookstore hadn't provided a sign, a store, and such a large platform, how would they have had the opportunity to make so much money?"

"Furthermore, the rent of the bookstore costs money, the shopkeeper's salary costs money, and the maintenance of such a large business also costs money, right?"

"These are normal operating expenses, and their money is not in vain!"

"Oh oh oh..."

After hearing Nisun's sophistry, Lao Zhu couldn't help curling his lips and secretly thought to himself that I believed you.

However, when he saw that Da Sun's Dou Po was actually ranked at the bottom, with only a few hundred words worth of reward, he felt extremely dazzled.

The world is so ignorant that they only care about reading those risqué books, and they despise the work that our great grandson worked so hard for!

"Dasun, if someone rewards the last book with a thousand taels of silver, will he be ranked first?"

"That's natural!"

"Who is so stupid as to give out a thousand taels of silver for this book?"

Lao Zhu chuckled when he heard this.

"Of course it's our silly old man!"
