The two of them continued walking on the street for about half an hour. Zhu Yunwen said: "Uncle Huang, it's getting late. I should go back. Otherwise, I will probably be discovered by Grandpa Huang, and if my father wakes up, he won't be able to see me."
It’s time to worry.”
Seeing Zhu Yunwen's serious look, Zhu Gui couldn't help but sigh and said, "Okay, if you get bored again in the future, you can come out to see me at any time."
Zhu Gui patted Zhu Yunwen on the shoulder, and then asked his personal guards to escort Zhu Yunwen to the palace.
Then Zhu Gui went to the Money Gang's branch in the south of Nanjing alone.
Now everyone in the Money Gang knew the young prince in front of him, and soon a young leader personally escorted Zhu Gui to see Zuo Erniang.
The second mother-in-law was originally looking at the distribution map of various gangs in Nanjing. When he heard the news about Zhu Guilai, he quickly came to the door to greet him personally.
"My lord, why are you here so late? Aren't you at home with the princess?" Zuo Erniang made a rare joke.
Zhu Gui looked at Zuo Erniang with some surprise. She had taken off her veil, revealing her better face. Zuo Erniang was also a very beautiful woman, and her appearance was not inferior to that of Xu Miaoqing.
However, Nianzai Xun Miaoqing is only 14 years old and has not fully grown yet, while the second mother is already in her twenties. When Xu Miaoqing becomes an adult, she will be completely different.
"The princess has rested. I just stopped by to see if I had something to do. I heard that you used thunderous means to clean up several small gangs today. It seems that you have completely controlled the money gang. How long will it take for you to let him go?"
Did the Money Gang completely change their identities?”
Zhu Gui looked at Zuo Erniang and asked calmly.
After hearing this, Zuo Erniang lowered her head and thought for a while and said: "The situation within the gang is not stable now, and people's hearts are floating. If the prince is willing to give me another week, I can completely control all the relationships and connections in the gang."
Zuo Erniang looked at Zhu Gui with a serious look on her face.
Zhu Gui nodded and said: "One week? Yes, but after that the Money Gang will completely join the Datong Chamber of Commerce with a new identity. Can you do this?"
"Okay." Zuo Erniang nodded very solemnly and said.
"Okay, if you can do this, then I will give you a new task, which is to integrate all the gray forces and gangs in Nanjing." Zhu Gui said without surprising.
When the second mother heard Zhu Gui's words, she was also startled. Her face was slightly moved, but she was more excited because this was something she had never thought about. Zhu Gui described such a scene for her.
Hongda's blueprint.
What she was thinking about at this moment was what grand ambitions did the young prince in front of her have in mind? She really wanted to know.
Zuo Erniang's eyes changed slightly when she looked at Zhu Gui, revealing a trace of expectation, a trace of appreciation and a trace of uncertainty.
However, the straight man Zhu Gui did not notice this.
Zhu Gui took another look at the Money Gang's network and resources before leaving.
Zuo Erniang arrived at the door, still looking at Zhu Gui's back in trance.
After Zhu Gui returned to the palace, he freshened up and went to sleep.
Early the next morning, a father-in-law came to the palace to invite Zhu Gui to the palace.
It is said that it came from Zhu Yuanzhang's oral instructions, but this time the attitude was very polite.
Zhu Gui was very surprised by this.
Because he had never been treated so politely by Zhu Yuanzhang.
But since it was Zhu Yuanzhang's order, he had no reason to refuse.
Fortunately, Zhu Gui believed that he had done nothing wrong during this period, except for the money list.
However, few people should know about the Money Gang. Even if Zhu Yuanzhang is the emperor, without the Jin Yiwei, his intelligence should not be so sensitive.
Therefore, after Zhu Gui thought about it in various ways, he finally followed the eunuch into the palace.
The eunuch took him directly into the Imperial Garden. This was the first time Zhu Yuanzhang came to the Imperial Garden after the "Imperial Garden Incident".
Sitting next to Zhu Yuanzhang were several of his concubines. Seeing how happy they were, there shouldn't be anything bad going on.
Zhu Yuanzhang was talking and laughing with these concubines. When he saw Zhu Gui coming, he immediately stopped talking and laughing.
Zhu Yuanzhang turned to Zhu Gui and said: "Zhu Gui, I heard that you can also study cosmetics? Did your mother, Empress Hui, get her cosmetics from you?"
Hearing this, Zhu Gui finally felt relieved. It turned out that it was because of the cosmetics issue. He had not originally placed hope on it, but since it was Zhu Yuanzhang who brought it up on his own initiative, there was no need for him to avoid it.
"Father, the empress did get her cosmetics from me. I saw that my mother was worried about my affairs, so I wanted to show my filial piety."
Zhu Gui took the initiative to cater to Zhu Yuanzhang's thoughts and said.
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded when he heard this, and the smile on his face became thicker.
"Yes, this is my son. Now that you have finally grown up, I am very happy. By the way, how many cosmetics do you still have? Can you write down a recipe? Let someone specialize in production?"
Zhu Yuanzhang said that it turned out that his main idea was still about cosmetics.
Zhu Gui was still a little disappointed, but at the same time he was relieved. He knew that his efforts had not made Zhu Yuanzhang change his attitude towards him, or that he had not changed much.
But as long as there is no danger, it is enough for Zhu Gui.
Thinking of this, Zhu Gui immediately said: "Father, the materials for producing these cosmetics are very difficult to find. It also took a lot of time for Er Chen to find them. Moreover, Er Chen has already cooperated with others to produce cosmetics, so please forgive me, Er Chen."
I cannot take out the prescription."
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard his words, a dark cloud appeared on his face.
Seeing this, Zhu Gui continued: "However, although I cannot provide prescriptions, I can provide enough cosmetics for the concubines in the harem."
Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly and said: "You are more and more fond of doing business now, and you even came to me."
Although Zhu Yuanzhang said so, he thought that Zhu Gui's attitude was very good, so he didn't care about it.
"Go and see your mother. He misses you very much." Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand, signaling Zhu Gui to step back.
After Zhu Gui retired, he went to Concubine Guo Hui's palace.
Guo Huifei had obviously received the news a long time ago and had been lingering at the door of the palace, with a look of excitement and nervousness on her face.
When she saw Zhu Gui's figure appearing not far away, she immediately ran over excitedly, hugged Zhu Gui and said, "Son, you really want to die as your mother. How are you doing lately?
Are you not eating well because you've lost weight? Could it be that the cook in the house doesn't know how to cook? Do you want to send two cupboards to you two?"
Zhu Gui couldn't help but feel a little moved by Concubine Guo Hui's greetings.
