"Chen'er, come here quickly and let your mother take a look." Seeing her son back, Princess Yuan Xi burst into tears and kept saying words of comfort, fearing that Zhu Muchen, who had brain disease, would be frightened and his condition would worsen.
"Mother, I'm fine. You don't have to worry about me. It's unfilial to let the queen worry. Mother, please take a sip of tea first." Zhu Muchen handed a cup of tea to the princess at the side.
Although he had inexplicably traveled through time, Zhu Muchen no longer wanted to worry about that. He couldn't change anything. Now that he has entered this body, he should honor his parents in this body and treat the people who care about him well.
You, after all, are from the future, so you might be able to make some contribution to the palace.
Yuan Xi and Zhu Meng looked at each other. Both of their expressions were strange, more surprised, as if they were asking each other if they were dreaming. She always felt that something was wrong, but nothing seemed wrong. He looked at Zhu Muchen carefully.
, confirming that the person in front of her is indeed his son. Has Chen'er recovered from her brain disease? She, like Zhu Meng, is very complicated.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, this old slave will die." Aunt Su knelt on the ground to plead guilty.
"Aunt Su, please get up quickly. I want to go out on my own. It's none of your business. Besides, I'm fine too." Zhu Muchen helped Nanny Su up and said.
Zhu Meng and Yuan Xi, who were on the side, were not thinking about Nanny Su. They just felt that something was wrong with their son today. There was only one explanation, which was that Zhu Muchen had recovered from his brain disease. The couple agreed in unison and looked at each other with relief.
, although the corners of her eyes were wet, her face was full of joy, so she didn't have any thoughts to punish Nanny Su.
"Nanny Su, get up. Since Chen'er is fine, you don't have to blame yourself." Zhu Meng said to Nanny Su who was unwilling to get up.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." After hearing this, Aunt Su wiped her eyes and kowtowed to thank Zhu Meng for his kindness.
If this kind of thing happened to other princes, even if she didn't lose her life, she would still be punished with a torn flesh. Aunt Su couldn't help but sigh in her heart. She was really lucky to be able to serve in the prince's house. Where else could she find it?
Such good masters.
Zhu Meng and Yuan Xi held Zhu Muchen's hands and said something to you and me with joy on their faces. They had not had a good chat with their son for more than ten years.
"Your Majesty, I have captured Guo Gai." The joyful atmosphere in the room was interrupted by the voice coming from outside the door. It was Pang Man who had captured Guo Gai and came to revive him.
"Young prince." Upon hearing this, Zhu Muchen was the first to walk out, and Pang Man bowed his hands.
"Thank you for your hard work, Uncle Pang Man." Zhu Muchen returned the gift to Pang Man.
Pang Man was a little panicked for a moment. Although he was considered an old man in the palace, this was the first time he communicated with Zhu Muchen. He only knew that the prince's prince had a brain disease. He felt that the person in front of him looked nothing like him.
, he saluted Zhu Muchen again.
Since Zhu Muchen broke his brain, almost no one in the palace has seen Zhu Muchen except the prince, princess, and some maids and servants.
"Brother Guo Gai, we meet again so soon, how are you?" Zhu Muchen looked at Guo Gai with a smile.
"Brother Zhu, no, no, no, the crown prince, the young prince, is a young man who has eyesight but cannot see Mount Tai. You, sir, don't remember the villain's fault and let me go." Guo Gai cried bitterly and hugged Zhu Muchen's thigh.
"Uncle Pang, please send Brother Guo Gai home." Zhu Muchen turned around and said to Pang Man with a smile.
Guo Gai was stunned when he heard this. He was crying bitterly just now. He raised his head and glanced at the smiling Zhu Muchen, and quickly knelt down and kowtowed to Zhu Muchen.
"This... I humbly accept an order." Pang Man looked at Zhu Meng beside him, then cupped his hands and said.
In fact, Zhu Meng didn't want to arrest Guo Gai. Although his father was a fifth-rank official, he was apparently sent by the imperial court. Killing his son was tantamount to falling out with the imperial court. Today, he was eager to save his son. He turned against him even if he wanted to.
Anyway, his current situation is not easy. Zhu Muchen's move undoubtedly gave Zhu Meng a step down. He looked at Zhu Muchen with great relief.
"Brother Guo, please get up. Just bring that girl to me when you get back. Let's go." Zhu Muchen helped Guo Gai up and patted his shoulder to signal him to leave.
"Definitely, definitely." Guo Gai stood up and left in a hurry, fearing that the man in front of him would regret it.
"Chen'er, it doesn't have to be like this. Even if you kill him, Guo Can can't do anything to our palace. This is what Guo Gai deserves." Princess Yuan Xi came out and said to Zhu Muchen.
"My son is fine, there is no need to embarrass my father." Zhu Muchen responded.
When Zhu Meng heard this, he put one hand around Zhu Muchen and said, "My good boy." He was extremely happy in his heart. He had not been as happy as he is today in more than ten years.
"Sir, the young master is back." Guo Can was writing a memorial when the voice of the maid outside the door interrupted him.
"Gaier is back?" He hurriedly stood up and muttered.
The two father and son hugged each other with tears in their eyes. "Are you okay, Gaier? They didn't do anything to you, right?" Guo Can asked, holding Guo Gai's head in both hands.
"No, it was the prince who let me go and asked me to send the girl I bought today to the palace." Guo Gai cried and said.
"Send it to him, send it to him quickly, go quickly," Guo Can pushed Guo Gai away and shouted.
"Here comes someone." Guo Gai staggered out of the door and shouted. Then Guo Can strolled to the desk and sat down. He stared blankly at the half-written memorial, pondered for a moment, and finally wrote half of it.
The memorial was torn up.
"Mom Su, there are two men sending a woman outside the house. They say she is the one the young prince wants." A servant at the gate came to report to Yuan Su, "Bring her over." Mammy Su signaled to give way.
Servants brought in.
Aunt Su brought the woman to Zhu Muchen, "What's your name? Then why did Guo Gai hit you?" Zhu Muchen asked, looking at the thin and frail woman in front of him.
"A folk girl, Shang Ziyou, my father died of illness, and the family property was misappropriated by my uncle. My uncle forced me to marry the county magistrate as a concubine, so I had no choice but to run away. I was accidentally deceived by a woman here, and I was
I sold it to the bully named Guo, and he touched me, so I bit him." Shang Ziyou explained.
After Zhu Muchen heard this, he couldn't help but sigh: The process was really bloody. Some of the scenes in the TV series he watched before were not shot randomly. The woman in front of him is good-looking and comfortable to look at. If she stays by her side and becomes a little maid, if
When he went out later, Xiao Man and Shang Ziyou were behind him. He was so envious of others that Zhu Muchen raised the corners of his mouth slightly, with a strange expression on his face.
"Ahem..." Grandma Su seemed to notice something and suddenly coughed.
"You stay and become a maid for me, are you willing?" Zhu Muchen came to his senses and asked Shang Ziyou with a smile.
"What else is there to consider, girl? It's your blessing to be able to serve the Crown Prince." Aunt Su said to Shang Ziyou.
"I do, thank you, Your Highness." Shang Ziyou saluted Zhu Muchen.
Two days later, an old eunuch submitted a letter to Zhu Di, "Bringing the guards into the government office? Isn't this son of the King of Chu mentally ill? According to what was said in the letter, it doesn't look like he is mentally ill.
People, what do you think?" Zhu Di looked at the letter in his hand and asked the ministers standing below for their opinions.
"Could it be that the prince is pretending to be ill?" one of the ministers said, cupping his hands.
"It's not like that." Zhu Di put down the letter in his hand and looked out the window with his back to several courtiers.
"I see that the King of Chu values this prince very much. If the prince gets into trouble, he is not afraid of risking a break with the court to rescue him. This shows the status of his son in the heart of the King of Chu. If the emperor gives the prince of Chu an official position to stay in the capital, it will not be a good idea to cut down the feudal vassal.
This matter will have a certain effect and can also contain the King of Chu." An older official said, stroking his beard.
Upon hearing this, Zhu Di turned around and started discussing with several people present.
In recent days, Zhu Muchen has become a popular topic among the common people. In modern terms, it is on the hot search, "Have you heard that the Prince of Chu suddenly recovered from his brain disease? I heard that it was the King of Chu who
Invite a mage to drive away evil spirits for the prince." Several people were discussing in the teahouse, and there were various versions in the city, and the rumors spread a lot.
Ever since they learned that Zhu Muchen had recovered, the prince and princess would chat with Zhu Muchen for an hour every day. The two of them were pitiful. They hadn't spoken to their children properly in more than ten years, and there were endless topics to talk about every day. Zhu Meng found that he was so
After my son recovered, he understood quite a lot, and sometimes he would be stunned for a moment.
After a few days of getting along with each other in the palace, everyone in the palace began to get used to the current Zhu Muchen. The impression of the crazy little prince before was becoming increasingly blurred.
There was a commotion outside, and Zhu Muchen was not idle at home. In addition to chatting with the prince and princess, he would look through the accounts of the palace. For a highly educated man, these were just child's play. He found that the palace was not very wealthy, except for some
The money I can spend on antiques, calligraphy, paintings, and jewelry is only about 30,000 taels. According to the monetary value of the Ming Dynasty, one tael is equal to three hundred soft sister coins, which is equivalent to the value of nine million soft sister coins. It is not poverty.
It is not considered rich. The main problem is that the palace has more than 200,000 soldiers. The more than one million taels of taxes collected by the feudal state every year are almost all spent on the 200,000 troops, leaving little money at all.
.
"This can't continue like this. We need to develop the economy." Zhu Muchen muttered, looking at the account books on the table.
"What is economic development?" Shang Ziyou on the side asked curiously with wide eyes.
"The palace is too poor, we need to do some business." Zhu Muchen explained.
"Let's go out and look for business opportunities." Zhu Muchen waved to the two women behind him.
He can come and go freely in this palace. Ever since Zhu Meng found out that his son had recovered, all restrictions on him have been lifted. He doesn't need to ask anyone for permission where he wants to go now, but after what happened last time, Zhu Meng
Meng arranged a royal guard for Zhu Muchen and put it in charge of Pang Man to protect his safety.
Zhu Muchen walked strutting down the street with his two maids, and Pang Man followed behind with a few entourages. Now the whole city knew that he was the crown prince. Wherever he went, people made way for him, and the government officials who passed by also stopped.
He bowed his hands and saluted him. Zhu Muchen didn't pay attention to these people on the road. He carefully inspected to see if there were any business opportunities. Making money was the most important thing now. He wanted to retire here, and he couldn't do it without money.
Zhu Muchen stopped at a building. The building was three stories high. It looked like it must have been a restaurant before. The scene in front of him seemed like it had not been operated for a long time.
"The location here is good, why is no one doing business here?" Zhu Muchen asked, looking at Pang Man behind him.
"This is the property of Jinyiwei Town Fushi's brother. It was a restaurant a few years ago. The business was poor and it was closed down. No one was willing to buy it, so it was abandoned here." Pang Man replied.
"How much does it cost to buy this place?" Zhu Muchen said while looking at the building in front of him.
"It is said that the asking price of three thousand two cents is a lot. This building has been closed down by several businesses before him, and the asking price is too high, so no one has taken any interest." Pang Man said.
"Please contact me, I want to buy this place." Zhu Muchen pointed to the building and said to Pang Man.
Xiaoman and Shang Ziyou, who were on the side, asked in unison: "Little Prince, are you going to open a restaurant?" Pang Man also looked at Zhu Muchen curiously. Being in business in these years was not a glorious thing.
"I want to open a supermarket, and this is the right place for me." Zhu Muchen looked around and found that these buildings or stores were all teahouses, restaurants, jewelry, romantic places, etc. Ordinary vendors couldn't buy them at all.
If you open a store to do business, buy this building, gather these small traders together, and set up an area inside to rent to them, you can definitely make a lot of money.
"Open a supermarket? What is a supermarket?" The three people behind Zhu Muchen looked confused when they heard this, and several people looked at him in surprise.
"Walk home." Zhu Muchen didn't explain much, turned around and left.
