No matter how reckless you are, Lao Zhu will not be willing to punish you.
But I don't have the confidence.
Mu Ying sighed secretly and said: "The etiquette between the king and his ministers must not be messed up."
Zhu Biao could only let go of Mu Ying.
Mu Ying then greeted Zhu Bai: "Hello, Your Highness."
Zhu Bai said with a smile: "Thank you for your hard work, Master Mu."
During the "Pull Out the Flag" event, Mu Ying had been Zhu Fan's master. So it was not rude for Zhu Bai to follow Zhu Fan and call Mu Ying master.
Otherwise, calling him Master Mu would seem strange. Then Zhu Biao called him Brother Mu, which seemed a little strange.
Mu Ying looked at Zhu Bai and said seriously: "Your Highness has grown a lot, and it is not in vain that Mr. Lan talks about you every day."
Zhu Bai grinned: "That's not true."
Zhu Biao knew that Mu Ying was uncomfortable staying in the palace, so he winked at Zhu Bai.
Zhu Bai said: "Master Mu, I have some good dried meat over there. How about you go to the Guanya Bureau with my elder brother to enjoy it?"
Mu Ying hurriedly held up her hands and said, "If this is the case, I will dare to harass Your Highness."
He and Zhu Biao had something to say, and it was inappropriate to go anywhere but Guanya Bureau was quiet and safe.
------
The three people returned to the Guanya Bureau.
Mu Ying first helped Zhu Bai sit on a chair and solemnly bowed her hands.
Zhu Bai sat still and said with a smile: "Master Mu, why did you suddenly salute?"
According to status, he is of the first rank and Mu Ying is of the third rank. It is not wrong for Mu Ying to salute him.
By blood, he is a prince.
Speaking of favors, he secretly helped Mu Ying a lot.
So he could withstand Mu Ying's worship.
Mu Ying looked solemn: "In the past two years, thanks to the support of His Royal Highness King Xiang, we have been able to fight so smoothly at the border."
Guanya Bureau has branches in various places, especially in Guanya Bureau near the border, where various businessmen of all nationalities come in and out every day.
Therefore, all kinds of information, not only business information, but also various gossips about different ethnic groups, were continuously sent to Zhu Bai.
Those Mongolians thought they were well concealed, but in fact they asked people to disguise themselves to buy herbs, grain, and cloth, which exposed their position, number of people, and situation.
When Mu Ying and Lan Yu fought, three points depended on luck, three points depended on strength, and four points relied on Zhu Bai's information and material support.
Zhu Biao was completely unaware and was very surprised to see Mu Ying being so respectful to Zhu Bai.
Zhu Bai, however, did not refuse, and only nodded with a smile: "Master Mu, you are welcome. If I ask you for anything in the future, please don't shirk it."
Who is Mu Ying? The king of southern Yunnan! His descendants will guard Yunnan for hundreds of years for the Ming Dynasty.
The real sky is high and the emperor is far away.
An important minister that every emperor of the Ming Dynasty relied on.
As long as he has a good relationship with Mu Ying, he can still go to Yunnan to seek refuge with Mu Ying.
Mu Ying said: "Your Highness is joking. As long as Mu Ying can do it, he will never refuse."
This sentence sounds very sincere, but it actually contains a hidden secret.
"Things that can be done", betraying Lao Zhu and Zhu Biao are among the things that he cannot do.
Zhu Bai secretly sighed: He is indeed a person who can survive Lao Zhu's killing. He is flawless and reasonable.
He asked someone to bring tea, and then he wisely gave up the room to them, and ran down to the hall to watch others doing business.
Mu Ying watched Zhu Bai's back from the window and sighed: "This child is really observant of people's hearts..."
Zhu Biao said: "No. People say that Bigan has seven orifices and an exquisite heart. I think this kid may have eight hundred tricks. Tsk, tsk, he is really full of tricks."
Even though Mu Ying was serious, she couldn't help but laugh.
------
Zhu Bai went around the trading room and saw that Mu Ying and the others had not finished talking and could not go up or leave. He could only beat Xie Cheng in the yard downstairs as he had been taught.
I felt hungry after the fight.
It's really troublesome to not be able to leave...
Calculating, I got it right.
Then he smelled the aroma of meat, which was the best skin-on pork belly slowly stewed with star anise, cinnamon and cinnamon, and it was about to be cooked.
You wouldn't know it if you didn't smell it, but when you smell it, you feel like your chest is touching your back.
As if his nose was hooked by a small hand, he couldn't help but follow the aroma, and then he saw his daughter sitting by the small stove in the woodshed with her chin in her hands.
A small iron pot was bubbling in front of her.
The aroma wafts out from that iron pot, and with the addition of winter melon, the stew is filled with crystal clear goodness.
It's so damn tempting.
In fact, it will be more fragrant if potatoes are added. Unfortunately, potatoes have not been introduced to China at this time.
Zhu Bai smacked his lips.
Nannan turned around when she heard the voice and saw Zhu Bai standing up awkwardly immediately, and whispered: "Your Highness, these are the pots and meat I bought with my own wages."
Zhu Bai pretended to be calm and acted like a prince: "Don't be nervous. I'm just here to inspect."
Nannan quickly moved a stool over and sat down for Zhu Bai: "Your Highness, please sit down."
Zhu Bai sat down by the stove with a solemn expression: "You can sit down too, don't be restrained."
Then as soon as his eyes saw the pot of meat, he was so excited that tears flowed out of his mouth uncontrollably.
He swallowed hard, fearing that he would look greedy and be discovered by his daughter.
Then Nannan asked: "Your Highness, would you like to try it? My cooking skills are not very good. I only know how to stew, boil and steam."
Zhu Bai was secretly ecstatic and coughed dryly: "Since you are so enthusiastic, I will reluctantly give it a try."
Then Nannan took a rice bowl and filled half a bowl for him.
Zhu Bai took a bite gracefully, and the aroma of meat immediately filled his mouth.
Fatty meat is not greasy, and lean meat is not greasy.
The chefs in Yingtiancheng's restaurants and palaces all cook braised pork according to Jiangnan or Anhui methods.
He always found it to be a bit sweet.
This bowl of braised pork turned out to be particularly suitable for him.
Zhu Bai told himself not to gorge himself like a starving ghost, while he ate the whole bowl of meat.
Phew, it’s so satisfying, I haven’t eaten such delicious meat in a long time!
He felt hot all over his body, and when he wiped his forehead, his hands were covered with sweat.
Fugui and the others were dumbfounded and only came back to their senses now.
Fugui coughed lightly.
This pot of meat is definitely my daughter’s lunch and dinner.
Zhu Bai finished half the pot at once, and Nannan was going to be hungry at night.
Nannan smiled: "It's rare for His Highness to appreciate you."
"My craftsmanship is not bad. Remember to make it often when you have time." Zhu Bai's face turned slightly red and he said to Fugui, "Go to my shop to get some dishes and bring them to you. I don't take advantage of others."
Nannan waved her hands hurriedly: "No, no, no, no need. I have food and accommodation here. If you say I am taking advantage, I am taking advantage of His Highness. This little thing is nothing."
Zhu Bai didn't say anything, got up and went out.
He waved to Ya Chang who was guarding outside.
Chief Ya hurriedly came over and asked, "Your Highness, what are your orders?"
Zhu Bai said: "Starting from this month, give her a salary increase."
Ya Chang: "Ah... I just gave her a breast enhancement a few days ago, and now it's been two taels of silver a month."
Zhu Bai coughed dryly: "Give her five taels of silver every month. We can't let people outside say that I am stingy and treat my subordinates harshly."
