Daming: Old Zhu, we agreed not to rush!

Renyuanbo Mansion.

Butler Li and his limited number of servants were busy going back and forth.

It's definitely not a problem to have a bunch of gifts in the yard all the time. As a housekeeper, it's the most basic responsibility to keep the house in order.

"Be careful, Jade Buddha!"

"The big blue and white porcelain vat should be placed in the yard, under the tree!"

"This is Huanghuali's dressing table, be careful!"

"Liu Li Zun of Nanyang, you have to be careful. If you fall and chop your head, it will be light."

……

Butler Li directed his servants. Although he didn't take any action, the cold sweat on his forehead was still breaking out.

Without him, these gifts are too expensive!

If anything were to fall, no servant could be held responsible.

When the time comes, he, the butler, will not have to run away.

After reading the gift list, Butler Li finally understood what kind of existence the master he wanted to serve was.

From the prince to the duke, up and down the court, no one who came to deliver things was a minor official.

Not to mention the gifts, they are all extremely expensive things.

No, there is one that is not that expensive.

Sincerely, Liu Bowen sent a cart of flowers and plants.

However, since Su Jing personally ordered these flowers and plants to be placed throughout the house, Butler Li also knew that these flowers and plants must be taken care of.

It was noon in a blink of an eye, and Butler Li came straight to the study and said softly: "Uncle, it's lunch time."

In the study, Su Jing did not draw pictures, but was doing carpentry while thinking about the sales of Zhiyi's Yi handicrafts.

Normal sales are definitely not what Su Jing should do.

After returning last night, Su Jing learned something from Liu Banxian's mouth.

Although it is not very clear, Zhiyi, as a Yi woman, came all the way to Daming to make money here.

Don't think about it, something bad must have happened.

Su Jing had no intention of inquiring into Zhiyi's sad past, but she couldn't remain indifferent after learning about it.

To make money, you still have to make a big one.

"I know, I'll be here soon."

Su Jing replied, glanced at the wooden parts in her hand, and simply assembled them.

Before installing a few, Su Jing found that it was stuck and could not be installed at all.

"This fourth-order Rubik's Cube is really different from the third-order Rubik's Cube. I thought it was simple."

Su Jing shook her head slightly and laughed at herself.

Naturally, Su Jing must make a fourth-level Rubik's Cube because she promised Xu Miaoyun.

However, the center point of the fourth-level Rubik's Cube is different from that of the third-level Rubik's Cube. Su Jing was thinking about things while doing it, and the things she made could not be assembled directly.

After all, you only have one brain, and not everyone has the ability to do two things at once.

"Forget it, let's do it after dinner."

Su Jing shook her head and walked out of the study door.

Walking through the corridor and passing the inner courtyard, Su Jing found that the courtyard had been emptied out a lot, but there were still a lot of people there.

"Uncle, I have sorted out about [-]% of the gifts in half a day today, mainly the large ones. By tomorrow evening, I will probably be able to sort them all out."

Butler Li led the way and did not forget to report to Su Jing.

After sorting out [-]% in the morning, it sounded like it was less than half, but Su Jing knew that this was already quite a lot.

The gift list totaled more than ten pages.

"Well, that's right. When everything is done, give each of them two taels of silver as a reward."

Su Jing said lightly.

"Thank you uncle!"

Butler Li immediately turned around and bowed to Su Jing to thank him.

Even for a servant of the Earl's Mansion, two taels of silver is not a small sum.

"Butler Li, it doesn't have to be like this. This is how I do things. Although the wages for moving things are not much, these things are very expensive. You bear the risk of damage when moving. Compared with this risk, two taels of silver is just a little." Running out."

Su Jing explained, giving Butler Li a more detailed understanding of herself.

Overall, Butler Li is quite satisfied with Su Jing.

Since there will be a long time to get along with each other in the future, Su Jing will not deliberately let others speculate on herself, and it will be easier to clarify things.

"Yes, I understand."

Butler Li nodded.

Soon Su Jing arrived at the restaurant, where Liu Banxian had already been waiting.

"Master Su, you are finally here. If you don't move your chopsticks, I will starve to death."

Liu Banxian held the chopsticks and said anxiously.

Su Jing sat down and asked curiously: "Liu Banxian, why didn't you go out to set up a stall today? The prices in Xiangyun Pavilion are not cheap."

"There is no business during the day, and you have to buy your own food when you go out to the stall. It is better to stay at home and save some money."

Liu Banxian is known as a thick-skinned person who speaks very calmly.

In the entire Uncle Renyuan's residence, Liu Banxian was the only one who dared to eat at the same table as Su Jing.

Even Butler Li would not sit at the same table as Su Jing.

"Business is not doing well?"

Su Jing frowned slightly and said, "Liu Banxian, I remember you said that your fortune telling is not a business."

Liu Banxian immediately added: "The business is for you, Mr. Su. I don't feel that way in my heart."

Su Jing smiled slightly and picked up a chopstick first. After all, Liu Banxian had been holding up his chopsticks for a long time.

Su Jing actually told Liu Banxian that it would be fine without waiting for him to use his chopsticks.

But Liu Banxian's attitude was very firm. He was already quite honored to be able to stay in Uncle Renyuan's mansion, especially sitting at the same table as Su Jing.

The etiquette that should be followed is a must.

Su Jing was helpless. She couldn't force this matter to her.

But if you think about it carefully, Liu Banxian's words actually make sense. The relationship between him and Su Jing is much closer than that of others.

As Su Jing moved his chopsticks, Liu Banxian quickly started eating.

There are four dishes and one soup, which is not a lot, but everything is very delicious. Liu Banxian is not picky, and the food is delicious.

"Liu Banxian, has Miss Zhiyi moved here?"

Su Jing asked while eating.

Liu Banxian replied: "I don't know. I didn't go out today. Mr. Su, if you want to know, just go out and take a look. The courtyard is right next to the gate."

Su Jing was silent for a moment and did not answer immediately.

Liu Banxian suddenly smiled and said: "Mr. Su, I think you are interested in Miss Zhiyi! If so, I can help you go and have a look." Everyone loves gossip, including old men.

After three strokes and five divisions, Liu Banxian finished picking up the food in the bowl and was about to go out.

"and many more!"

Su Jing said.

Liu Banxian stopped: "What's wrong? Mr. Su, do you have anything else to say? Why don't you go and see it yourself? There are some things that I can't convey to you, old man."

Su Jing's face jumped slightly. This old man is really happy.

"No, I'm just telling you that starting from today, you will have to pay for food if you eat in the uncle's house again."

Su Jing said lightly.

Liu Banxian's expression suddenly changed, and he immediately said: "Master Su, you can't do this! How can you charge for food?"

When it comes to money, Liu Banxian can't stand it.

Su Jing drank the soup and said calmly: "You are not a servant of my uncle's house. What's wrong with paying for food when you eat in my house? It's not good to eat and drink for free."

"no!"

Liu Banxian was really anxious. He turned towards Su Jing and said at a loss: "Mr. Su, I am so miserable. Just one of those gifts in your courtyard can last me a lifetime. There is no need to worry about my food expenses." ?”

In life, money is very important, especially for people like Liu Banxian who want to use their money on the 'blade'.

"You're right, but I can't eat this food for free."

Su Jing was still calm and casual, but there was something in her words.

Liu Banxian was not stupid. He immediately realized the problem and asked immediately: "I wonder what Mr. Su wants from me, old man?"

Su Jing shook her head and said: "Liu Banxian, you are wrong. It's not what you do, but what you don't do. Do you understand?"

What not to do?

Liu Banxian scratched his head, understood instantly, and walked directly back to the dining table: "I suddenly felt that I was still a little hungry, and I had to eat half a bowl of rice."

Su Jing said nothing more, and Liu Banxian was sure that he should not get involved in the matter between Su Jing and Zhiyi.

Young people are just small-minded!

Liu Banxian couldn't help complaining in his heart while eating his meal.

After Su Jing finished eating, he returned to the study again. This time he redesigned the fourth-level Rubik's Cube.

Let’s deal with Zhiyi’s matter first and later. After all, it was Xu Miaoyun who agreed first.

On the other side, the matter of renting a house in Yahang was quickly investigated. Butler Li had expressed Su Jing's attitude early. With the intervention of Ren Yuanbo Su Jing, the whole case was heard very quickly and clearly.

Zhiyi quickly received the compensation she deserved, and all the perpetrators in this case also received the justice they deserved.

The laws of the Ming Dynasty were very strict. Although those who participated were not sentenced to death, they were indispensable.

At the yamen gate, Tashi took the compensation money with a happy look on his face: "Miss, the money is finally back. It seems that Mr. Su is really the Earl of Ming Dynasty."

Tashi has always had doubts about Su Jing's identity.

Now that the matter was successfully resolved, he finally believed it.

Zhiyi said: "Okay, let's go back to the inn and check out first. We'll move today."

The rent in an inn is definitely more expensive than renting a house.

If you miss half a day, that’s half a day’s worth.

"Yes, miss!"

Tashi nodded, and the two quickly returned to the inn, packed their things and moved again.

……

Forbidden City, Fengxian Hall.

The matter of Su Jing and Zhiyi had already reached the ears of Lao Zhu and Queen Ma last night.

The emperor and empress were also quite enthusiastic about this gossip.

No, Lao Zhu just got the news that Queen Ma has arrived at Fengxian Hall.

"How's it going? How's it going with Mr. Su and Princess Zhiyi?"

Queen Ma asked eagerly.

Although Queen Ma did not act as a matchmaker, she did not ask Lao Zhu to intervene in this matter.

But the two of them worked together at night. If Su Jing and Zhiyi can succeed, it will be quite suitable.

They are of the same age, Su Jing is the great uncle Renyuan of the Ming Dynasty, and Zhiyi is the princess of Waxi of the Yi ethnic group.

Although Waxi is now destroyed, if the Ming Dynasty wants to use troops against the southwest chieftain tribe in the future, Waxi will definitely be rebuilt and even established into a large tribe.

When the time comes, the marriage between the Count of the Ming Dynasty and the chieftain of the Yi ethnic group will be a good deal.

Moreover, Zhiyi has nothing to do with the officials of the Ming Dynasty, which makes Lao Zhu very happy.

However, Lao Zhu thought it was appropriate, but Queen Ma still had other considerations in mind.

Empress Ma attaches great importance to what Zhiyi is like.

For an ordinary woman, no matter how good her family background is, Queen Ma would not find her a good match for Su Jing.

"It's nothing. The money that was defrauded by Zhiyi has been recovered, and those guys from Yahang have also been sentenced."

Zhu Yuanzhang put down the memorial in his hand and answered Queen Ma's question. No matter what it was, he had to take it seriously.

Empress Ma immediately asked: "What about the investigation results of Zhi Yi? Have you investigated all the big and small things she did along the way?"

Lao Zhu said helplessly: "Sister, you are making things too difficult for us. They have been walking this way for several months, every three days, but not so fast. Please wait."

Empress Ma rolled her eyes at Lao Zhu: "What's the trouble! This is a major matter of Mr. Su's marriage, so hurry up! The more you urge me, the sooner we know it, the better!"

"Okay, okay! We know, we will definitely hurry up!"

Lao Zhu nodded in agreement.

Queen Ma asked again: "Did Mr. Su meet Zhiyi today? Did anything happen?"

Lao Zhu shook his head and said: "No, the verdict on Zhiyi's case was just announced this morning, and we have just finished preparing to move. Su Jing, this kid, has been in the study all the time, and I don't know what he is doing."

Although the servants of Uncle Renyuan's Mansion were all selected by Queen Ma, Lao Zhu could still know Su Jing's daily whereabouts.

"Well, that's it."

Queen Ma nodded, turned and left.

This made Lao Zhu a little confused, and he immediately said: "Sister, are you leaving now? At least I sent you some cold desserts before, but now there is nothing?"

Queen Ma said without turning her head, "I forgot, I'll bring it to you next time."

Watching Queen Ma leave, Lao Zhu felt sad again.

"Father."

As soon as Queen Ma left, Zhu Biao came directly.

Lao Zhu looked at Zhu Biao and said, "What's wrong, boss? What difficulties did you encounter recently when you were asked to handle military affairs?"

Zhu Biao nodded and said: "Father, I think the shortcomings of the military garrison system mentioned by my fourth brother are quite right. Maybe we should think about a solution to this matter now."

Zhu Di just learned something from Su Jing, and he turned around and reported it to Lao Zhu. Naturally, Lao Zhu would not hide his secrets from Zhu Biao.

Lao Zhu said calmly: "Hasn't Su Jing already provided a solution to this matter? In the current situation of the Ming Dynasty, the military garrison system is the best solution. There is no need to change it."

Su Jing had already analyzed the various types, advantages and disadvantages of the military garrison system, and gave the Ming Dynasty some ideas for improving the garrison system. Lao Zhu found it very reasonable and adopted it.

Zhu Biao replied: "Master Su is certainly right, but I think it's time to prepare now."

"Master Su often said that you should prepare for a rainy day and think first. There is no need to change the military camp now, but how to change it in the future should be considered now." (End of this chapter)
