As soon as Zhu Gaochi stepped into the building, he suddenly felt something was wrong.
If he had come in the past, those old madams who still had charm would have swung their charming little waists and greeted him with cooing, their meatballs pressed close to his shoulders, and their mouths pouted into his ears.
Filled with wind.
But today...?
"Hey! Isn't that a bitch of a bastard?"
Zhu Gaochi turned his eyes and saw He Guangyi coming down the stairs. He was obviously running towards him.
"Ha!" Zhu Gaochi sneered and said, "Dog..."
He Guangyi paused, as if he was hallucinating.
"What a coincidence!" Zhu Gaochi immediately changed his mind and said with a smile, "I met you here!"
He Guangyi bowed slightly and said softly with no expression on his face, "Master is waiting for you up there!"
"Which master?"
As he spoke, Zhu Gaochi suddenly came to his senses.
No wonder there isn't a single person hanging around in this building. Is it because the Dog Emperor has reserved the place?
"Hunjun!" Zhu Gaochi cursed in his heart.
"How did the master know that I was coming?" Zhu Gaochi raised his legs and walked up the stairs, "Who else is up there?"
"I saw you at the window!" He Guangyi followed Zhu Gaochi and whispered, "There is also Mr. Li family!"
"Li Jinglong?" Zhu Gaochi cursed secretly in his heart again, "Bah, the dog emperor and the dog boss are colluding into adultery!"
Immediately, the little eyes moved rapidly.
He Guangyi, who was following him upstairs, inadvertently raised his head and suddenly saw Zhu Gaochi's big ass. He seemed to have remembered something, and his expression suddenly became strange and timid.

"Hong Xi, what a coincidence!"
As soon as Zhu Gaochi walked to the door, he heard Zhu Yunxi's warm smile, "Come on, come in!"
"Please!" Li Jinglong nodded and bowed, like a translator with a box cannon, and quickly brought a stool to Zhu Gaochi.
"You are blessed with freshly roasted meat!" Zhu Yunxi said with a smile, "and there are also grapes and wine from the Western Regions!"
Unexpectedly, after Zhu Gaochi sat down, he neither ate nor drank, but looked straight at Li Jinglong, which made the latter feel frightened and kept looking behind Zhu Yunxi.
"Master Li, you are so happy!" Zhu Gaochi chewed his teeth, "First you went to my back house in broad daylight to watch my female family take a bath, and now you come to this world of flowers to drink and eat meat. Haha! Are you more immortal than a god these days?
"
Li Jinglong was suddenly embarrassed and looked at Zhu Yunxi for help.
But the latter just lowered his head, drank the grape wine happily, and sighed, "Tsk, this wine is actually better than the one in the palace!"
"It's rare that you like it!" Li Jinglong quickly filled Zhu Yunxi's cup and said with a smile, "I'll have someone send a few buckets to your home later!"
Zhu Yunxi shook his head slightly, "Let's forget it! You still have to restrain your appetite!"
"You're too hard on yourself!" Li Jinglong sighed.
The two of them, the monarch and his ministers, sang in harmony, and Zhu Gaochi was very angry.
He glared at Li Jinglong and said, "Li Jiujiang, aren't you going to give an explanation for how you climbed over the wall and entered my house?"
"I..." Li Jinglong groaned in his heart and said with a wry smile on his face, "He has a reason for everything. Can you please listen to my explanation?"
With that, he explained the cause and effect again.
Then he pointed at his own eyes and said, "My eyes have been troubled these days and I can't see anything clearly. I'm eight hundred feet away and I can't even tell whether I'm a boy or a girl!" Then he held up the wine glass and said, "Master Tang, it's...
No, I can't make amends for your crime with this cup. If you are angry and really can't get over this hurdle, why don't you just tell me the rules and I can continue?"
Don't reach out to hit the smiling person, and since Li Jinglong's posture is so humble, Zhu Gaochi can't be too aggressive.
"That's right!" Zhu Yunxi helped, "He's blinded! He can't even see clearly!"
With that said, Zhu Yunxi said to Zhu Gaochi, "Come on, Hong Xi, hurry up, I didn't even eat the freshly roasted meat when I saw you coming up, I'm just waiting for you!"
Unexpectedly, Zhu Gaochi sighed again and sat there silently, with an aggrieved face.
"So grand?" Zhu Yunxi said with a smile.
"It's not just this!" Zhu Gaochi sighed, "I can't live my life like this!"
Hearing this, Zhu Yunxi and Li Jinglong looked at each other.
"Early in the morning, it's still dark! Uncle Sixteen sent someone to ask for money. The first offer was two hundred thousand, and he said he wanted to build a hunting ground outside the city!" Zhu Gaochi tilted his head and said with a litigious look, "I'll go up.
Where can I get it for him? It’s not enough if I don’t borrow it, so who makes me Zongzheng?”
"You can borrow...the money is just wasted. I am a powerless and bare prince. I have a lot of money in my family. I have to spend it every day. How can I withstand being ripped off like this?"
?”
"Hey, speaking of this person, he has a good temper and gets bullied!" Zhu Gaochi sighed again, "I am a junior, and my uncles bully me. Huh, my uncles are just that..." As he said, he
He glanced at Li Jinglong and said, "Outsiders bully me too!"
Immediately, he shook his head and took a sip from the wine glass, "Hey, just bully me, who made me weak and weak!"
Suddenly, Zhu Yunxi felt his face getting hot.
This was meant for him. The vassal princes in Beijing were used to extravagance when they were in their fiefdoms. The royal residence in the capital had just settled down, so there were plenty of places to spend money.
However, Zhu Yunxi's original promise to the vassal kings to ensure that their generation's An family would be prosperous and wealthy was never paid out.
It's not that there's nothing he can do, it's that Zhu Yunxi seems to have no intention of sending it out at all.
If the vassal princes did not come to ask for the discount, he would treat it as if it had been given out.
It's not that he is digging, this little money is actually nothing. He just thinks that if these vassal kings can be forced to think about leaving, it would be best to move the vassal out. Otherwise, if these vassal kings are in Beijing, their descendants will be everywhere in a dozen years.
.
If the Zhu family's descendants are really going to have a hard time making a living, will they care or not?
If it is ignored, thousands of royal family members who have nothing to do and no money in their pockets will definitely be a disaster. But if it is ignored, they will reap the benefits and continue to clamor for the court to control it.
"If this continues, I really can't care about Zong Zheng!" Zhu Gaochi glanced at Zhu Yunxi again, spread his hands and said, "I have no money! Anyone is senior to me, I'm going to be offended!"
"What's the errand that Zhang Ming is doing?" Zhu Yunxi frowned and turned to Li Jinglong.
"I'll go to the household department and scold them soon!" Li Jinglong suddenly understood, "He dares to delay such a big thing. He doesn't want to do it anymore! If he doesn't give him the money he should be given, who will give him the courage?"
"Yeah, hurry up!" Zhu Yunxi nodded.
In fact, this matter has nothing to do with the Ministry of Household Affairs, but at this moment, Zhu Yunxi is directly blaming the blame, and Zhu Gaochi can't say anything. As long as he gives the money, who cares who takes the blame!
"Come on, come on, the meat is getting cold even after talking!" Zhu Yunxi said with a smile.
"If it's cold, I'll take it out and get a new one!" Li Jinglong immediately shouted, "Come in, come in and let me grill the meat!" As he said that, he suddenly frowned and scanned the table, and said, "Bring more ice cubes.
Replace all the fresh fruits too!”
"Ha!" Zhu Gaochi said with a smile, "You are so heroic!"
Suddenly, Li Jinglong had a bad premonition in his heart. He always felt that there was something unclear in Zhu Gaochi's eyes.
At this moment, Zhu Yunxi suddenly asked again, "Whose business did you just say this is?"
"A wealthy businessman from Fujian!" Li Jinglong said with a smile, "I have never heard of this man before. In April last year, he suddenly bought all the land around the Qinhuai River and built such a restaurant!"
"Oh!" Zhu Yunxi responded lightly.
He knew in his heart that Li Jinglong was not telling the truth, but the reason why he was vague was not because Li Jinglong didn't want to tell the truth, but because Zhu Gaochi was here and it was inconvenient for him to tell.
However, he kept this in mind and prepared to have someone investigate in secret.
It's not that he, the emperor, is sensitive and suspicious, and he is suspicious of such trivial matters.
Think about it, why did Li Jinglong take him here instead of choosing so many places?
Why is it such a coincidence that Zhu Gaochi also likes to come here?
