Back to Ming Dynasty as Zhu Biao

Chapter 362 Your Highness, You Are Not Human (Gageng)
Before leaving, everyone said goodbye to Zhu Biao, and then they said goodbye to each other and left.Zhu Biao watched Chang Meirong and Zhu Yunchi get into the car, and Lan Yu led the escort: "Your Highness, do you want to wait for you?"

"No need, I will go to the Ming Commercial Bureau in a while."

Lan Yu nodded and took Chang Meirong and the others back. Zhu Biao went up and said a few words to Chang Meirong before she followed Lan Yu back.

Zhu Biao returned to Mufu.

Considering that Muying's child is young, Zhu Biao asked Sanbao to return to the palace and sent his two windproof carriages to Muying.

This carriage is a carriage specially modified by the National Academy of Sciences, suitable for straight roads, and it is the only one.

Zhu Biao said: "Mu Ying, the child is still young, you insist on leaving tomorrow, you are so stubborn."

"If you wait until August as set by His Majesty, I'm afraid Yunnan will be in chaos again. Your Highness, you have to take care of yourself. Come to Yunnan later."

Mu Ying was silent for a moment: "There is one thing, please spare your Highness. In fact, I knew that Miss Shen was in Yunnan, and I knew about that child... I don't want to lie to Your Highness."

"You just told me now, if you told me sooner, I would beat you." Zhu Biao smiled at him and said, "I gave you a gun for self-defense."

Mu Ying smiled, looked at Shen Zhiwu who was about to leave, and said: "Miss Shen, Xiao Lian asked you to come to Yunnan in the future. I know that her closest relative is you."

"Okay, then I'll go back first." After Shen Zhiwu finished speaking, he took people away.

Wait for someone to go away.Zhu Biao's expression changed, he coughed twice and said, "If she disappears again, I'll go and copy your Duke's Mansion."

Mu Ying smiled: "Afraid that she would run away, why didn't His Highness marry her? Sometimes I really don't know what His Highness is struggling with. When we were young, we played and grew up together, but I think men should also be affectionate. Since they are interested in her, they should marry her." go home."

"Yeah." Zhu Biao nodded.

The two talked about the current situation in Yunnan and those chieftains. The Dali Duan family came to the court to pay tribute, but Zhu Biao was still very worried.

Shen family.

Shen knew whether he was sitting in the accounting room: "Steward Shen, please go and invite the shopkeeper Lou Zhang Minglou from the Nanjing Chengzong Company. Then go and invite the shopkeeper Zhou Changzhou from the pawn shop to help them settle their wages and give each of them another 200 taels of silver."

Manager Shen was surprised: "Miss, Shopkeeper Lou and Shopkeeper Zhou are the most proficient in accounting books among our eighteen shopkeepers, and they are not greedy for small profits in doing things. Why should we settle their wages for them?"

"Please!"

"Oh, yes, miss."

After a long time, two people carrying burdens came out from Shen's residence. After bowing to Shen's residence and thanking them, they walked towards Ming Commercial Bureau.

Zhu Biao was looking through the account books, and the Bureau of Ming Commerce was coming in to report that two of them had read the notice from the Bureau of Ming Commerce and came to seek work.

"What do you think of people?" Zhu Biao said without raising his head.

Bureau Zheng gave a thumbs up: "The two of them actually passed the test set by His Highness, and they are exactly the people we want."

"Then stay. You will prepare official positions for them after three months of investigation. Have you made a note?"

"Yes, Weichen made a note of it."

Sanbao stood by and watched Zhu Biao's work, yawned and said, "The affairs of the Maritime Affairs Bureau are much simpler than those of the Ming Commercial Bureau."

Zhu Biao shook his head. After the great voyage started, the overseas affairs and the import and export of neighboring countries would be handled by the Maritime Affairs Bureau.

The account books and business taxes sent by several big merchants in the south of the Yangtze River are messy, and they have to be sorted out a little bit.

Last year, more than half of the money was collected for the construction of post offices and primary and secondary schools, and construction began almost at the same time in various places.

Busy until late at night, Sanbao patiently sorted out the account books next to him.He smiled and said that when he went back to the palace during the day, the princess asked him carefully about whether Shen knew it.

Thanks to his cleverness, he colluded with Yu'er in a successful confession, and when he went to deliver the carriage to Mu's residence, General Mu asked him to go to Yunnan when he was free.

Zhu Biao's brush stopped in the air and looked outside: "What time is it?"

"Your Highness, it's time to be ugly, and it will be dawn in a while." Sambo replied.

"Mu Ying went to Yunnan when you were young."

Sanbao nodded: "It's the time of day, are you going to Mu Mansion now?"

"Go to another place."

Zhu Biao knocked on the door of Shen's house, and took Sanbao to Shen Zhifu's yard with ease.

Suddenly, he stopped.

Beside the stone table in the yard, a man and a woman are sitting in front of the steps of the small courtyard. Xiao Bai is reading the story book with relish.Li Changsheng next to him smiled honestly, gently peeled off the nuts and handed them to her.

"Ah, Your Highness the Crown Prince." Xiao Bai closed the script in a low voice and startled, and immediately bowed his head to salute, pulling away Li Changsheng who was stunned next to him: "Don't greet Your Highness the Crown Prince."

"What are you doing here without sleeping in the middle of the night? Did she sleep?" Zhu Biao asked.

"Sleep, today is a bit abnormal, we dare not go to sleep, and we fell asleep after crying for a while." Xiaobai grabbed his fingers and slammed them back and forth, his mouth moved and closed, his mouth was moving .

She wanted to slap the crown prince at the moment, but she didn't dare, so she could only play with her own fingers.

Zhu Biao let out a sigh of relief, and asked, "Why is she crying?"

Zhu Biao was surprised, and Sanbao was also surprised.Ms. Shen seldom cries, isn't she very happy in Mu Mansion, what's going on with her.

for a long time……

"For the child who died young." Xiaobai broke away from Li Changsheng, pouted and said the words, as if complaining that Li Changsheng stopped her.

In fact, they have always wanted to say something loudly to Zhu Biao, Your Royal Highness, you are quite inhuman.But they still dare not.

Zhu Biao was sitting next to Xiaobai, but his eyes drifted far away: "You were taken away by Beiyuan bandits back then. You were very young, so Gu sent you to her in the rain all night, and she has been taking care of you ever since. , now you will have a family in a year or two, but then..."

Originally wanted to throw bricks to attract jade, Zhu Biao said the first half of the sentence and then motioned her to say, who knows that this guy Xiaobai just doesn't play tricks, and he doesn't say anything later.

Zhu Biao sighed: "Ask her what happened when she went to Yunnan, and she won't tell. Ask you, and you still don't tell me now. It seems that she ran to Yunnan for other men. It must be so."

"That's not true, my sister doesn't." Xiao Bai blurted out.He was so anxious that when Li Changsheng wanted to stop her, it was too late.

Jiang was still old and spicy, Zhu Biao even coaxed and tricked him to intensify his tactics, and Xiaobai began to confess.

"We walked for a long time before we arrived in Yunnan. At that time, there was a military turmoil in the southwest, and my sister took me with her face covered in mud, pretending to be a beggar.

We had a lot of things to bring, but we couldn’t go to the village, couldn’t go to the store, and couldn’t buy anything to eat, so we went hungry and went on our way.Don't dare to follow the official path, for fear of being discovered by His Royal Highness's people.If we encounter danger in the mountains, if it were not for Changsheng to save us, we would have died long ago. "

Zhu Biao said: "It was she who left without saying goodbye, without saying anything."

Hearing this, Xiaobai pouted and glanced at Zhu Biao beside him, although he was the one who saved him at the beginning, but the prince really deserves a beating for saying this.

"In a woman's life, no one would want to seek a couple for the rest of her life. My sister is so beautiful and smart, and she rejects many gentlemen and scholars who show their affections to her.

If she hadn't met His Highness the Crown Prince, she certainly wouldn't have had such a hard time. If it hadn't been for His Highness's wedding, she would have been sad.Then she will marry a good man, and she will wait for the rest of her life.

She will have the opportunity to wear the phoenix crown and Xiapei, and she doesn't have to be sad in this bright business bureau all day long. "

When Zhu Biao heard this, his heart ached, but he still asked calmly, "Where is that child?"

Xiaobai knew that he had said a lot, and it was not bad for this matter, so he continued: "He is a very handsome young man, he looks like His Highness and sister, he can already laugh, but he just caught the cold, that's all. gone."

Xiaobai sobbed as he spoke.

Li Changsheng patted Xiaobai, looked at Zhu Biao and said, "When I rescued them, the young lady was already pregnant. I thought they had encountered robbers, but later I found out that they had encountered someone who betrayed their hearts."

"Bold." Sanbao said in a low voice.

"I didn't know at that time..." Li Changsheng said those things: "When I called the doctor, the child was not breathing...Miss Shen just sat there holding him for a long, long time. I can't sleep, I cry every time, Xiaobai is with me.

Back in the capital, when I pointed the knife at your highness, she said don't let me hurt your highness. "

When Li Changsheng said this, he lowered his head: "At that time, I knew that the stranger who came to Yunnan suddenly was a member of the imperial court. And His Highness's firecracker is obviously much faster than my knife. She was afraid that I would hurt His Highness.

Don't ask me why I know, because I have seen the jade pendant and firecracker that Ms. Shen carried with her, and I have seen the power. "

Zhu Biao glanced at the night sky: "The regulations of the Ming Dynasty Commercial Bureau are based on the layout of the palace. Isn't this not good for her?"

"Your Highness, my sister never talks about it, and she doesn't know how to ask. She's afraid of embarrassing you. But Your Highness just came here after thinking about it."

After hearing these words, Sanbao no longer stood in line with Zhu Biao, but lowered his head.

Zhu Biao signaled them all to go to sleep, he walked gently to the backyard and opened the door.Moonlight poured in from the window, and the room was brightly illuminated.

Seeing her red and swollen eyes, Zhu Biao thought that when he saw her before, she was holding the account book, and she was full of energy when talking. She was the one who hid her sadness very well on weekdays.

When helping her cover the quilt, she found that she was holding a pair of small tiger-toed shoes in her hand, which were very small.It took Zhu Biao a lot of effort to get it down.

But it woke her up.

"Who!"

"It's me, don't be afraid."

Her tense body suddenly softened.

"I heard that the wild flowers along the Yangtze River are blooming. I will send Mu Ying to Yunnan tomorrow and take you to see it." Zhu Biao said solemnly while holding her.

At sunset, Zhu Biao stood for a long time, watching Muying leave with her family, before turning around.

After dusk on the riverside, the breeze is not dry, the river breeze is blowing, and the wild flowers on the riverside outside the city are blooming brilliantly. Sanbao is standing in the distance with Jin Yiwei.

Seeing her squatting in the flowers, Zhu Biao looked at her and said suddenly: "If you want, Gu can protect you for the rest of your life, are you willing?"

Shen Zhishi was startled, his face instantly became confused, and he murmured: "Your Highness, you, what are you talking about?"

Zhu Biao walked over and looked into her eyes: "I will marry you."

At this moment, Shen Zhi lowered her head, not daring to look at Zhu Biao, she shook her head and said: "Then the Crown Princess will blame Her Highness."

Zhu Biao asked: "Do you think I will be afraid of this?

I can't choose who to marry, but I can choose who to be good to.In fact, I asked them to find you because I wanted to wait for these things to pass before I told you. "

"I promised my grandmother... no."

"That was before, now I have the ability to protect you alone."

"I am a commoner woman."

"Me too. When my father was not fighting the world, I was also the son of farmer Zhu Chongba." Zhu Biao said with a smile.

"Don't talk nonsense. It would be bad if His Majesty knew about it."

"My father, he likes farming and being a commoner."

Shen Zhishi raised his head slowly, if Zhu Biao didn't like her, why would he travel thousands of miles to find her back from Yunnan.

She suddenly said: "Then you, ask the question just now again."

"Ask what?" Zhu Biao smiled deliberately.

"Your Highness, you did it on purpose." Shen Zhishi turned his head and walked forward along the path.

Zhu Biao looked serious and shouted: "Are you willing to let Gu protect you for the rest of your life? I will marry you."

Shen Zhishi stood still, turned his head, looked into Zhu Biao's eyes, and said, "I am willing."

The next moment, a breeze blows towards her face, and Zhu Biao throws her down among the flowers.

Shen Zhishi looked at him, and said with some surprise: "I thought that I would never be able to wear a phoenix coronet in this life. So, I also made a plan not to marry."

Zhu Biao looked at her good-looking eyebrows and delicate facial features, and said, "Du Dongting, a woman-hating person, said that you were born smart and good-looking."

"Just because it looks good?"

"It's also quite capable."

Zhu Biao measured her body with his fingers, held her ten fingers together, and said apologetically, "Do you know, I've been waiting for a long time."

"I'm willing to wait as long as I want."

"It won't be long this time."
