If Zhu Houzhao had come here in the past, he would have been just the prince, and it would have been nothing more than the meeting. But knowing that this master had just ascended the throne today and officially became the emperor of the day, and if he wanted to be as casual as before, Shen Yue thought to himself that he would not be so Daring. However, when she caught a glimpse of Xu Xun standing aside, smiling and saying nothing, obviously seeing her lively thoughts, she suddenly felt angry. After bending her knees and blessing her, she took two steps forward and looked at Zhu Houzhao and said : "I haven't seen you for more than half a year. I didn't expect that the emperor has grown taller but lost a lot of weight! Looking at you, you are so gray-faced. Why don't you go inside to get a basin of water and wash yourself first?"
Hearing the emperor's voice, Zhu Houzhao remembered that he had warned Xu Xun not to reveal his true identity to Shen Yue, but this guy still betrayed him. He immediately gave Xu Xun a hard look. Shen Yue smiled in his eyes. In my heart, I immediately said: "Come in quickly, the people coming and going outside are an eyesore, let's ignore them!"
This sentence made Zhu Houzhao beam with laughter, and he followed Shen Yue in with great excitement. Xu Xun saw Liu Jin and Gu Dayong following so quickly, so he ordered the stunned Ruyi: "You just stay outside and watch the store carefully. No need." I’m too worried. I’ve left people on both sides of Mutton Alley and around here to keep watch, so nothing will go wrong~~ Don’t be nervous, just act like you usually do when you’re looking at a store.”
Ruyi nodded numbly, and seeing Xu Xun follow, she swallowed hard, then pressed her chest to the door and looked around, her heart beating faster and faster than expected. God, that's it. Today, today, the little emperor who has just ascended the throne is actually brought home by the crown prince in such a grand manner?
Although both Li Qingniang and Ruyi had said that they would buy two more little girls to take care of their daily lives, Shen Yue refused because her situation was unknown and outsiders could not be trusted. Therefore, when Li Qingniang was not around, she went to the well to fetch water. Come up. Xu Xun actually went up to help intentionally, but he got a big roll of his eyes and had to retreat back.
"Sister Shen, I can handle this little thing myself..."
"It's such a small thing. Have you ever twisted a soft towel and washed your face while you were in the palace?" Seeing that Zhu Houzhao was really serious, Shen Yue couldn't help but smile and said, "Not to mention you, the emperor, even my eldest brother has always been a Yi Lai. If you open your mouth with your hand, you won't be able to take care of your own affairs at all. Stop dawdling, for the sake of you calling me sister, I only served you once, Xu Xun, and you haven't had this blessing yet!"
Zhu Houzhao was never embarrassed when facing the maids in the palace, but he was a little embarrassed just now, but when he heard Shen Yue say that Xu Xun had never enjoyed such treatment, he immediately threw all his hesitations away and went up obediently. He went forward. He saw Shen Yue pouring some water into the copper basin, and put a large handkerchief on his chest. Then he wrung out the soft towel and handed it to him. He saw Zhu Houzhao wiping his face carelessly and his sweaty neck. After wiping them all, the water was changed and he was asked to wash his hands. While washing, he smiled proudly at Xu Xun, and then looked around after wiping them dry.
"Sister Shen, the house in Xu Xun's house is so big, so you are allowed to live in such a small place?"
"What does it have to do with me that his house is big? Although my house is small, I bought it myself, and it has nothing to do with him!" Shen Yue saw that although the sun was about to set, it was still hot in the yard. Then he stepped forward and knelt down to Liu Jin and Gu Dayong, and said with a smile, "My two father-in-laws, the small hall cannot accommodate so many people. You two may come in with me and move some cane chairs out, and sit under the grape trellis to cool down. I'll make tea."
Gu Dayong didn't know Shen Yue, so seeing this attitude he thought it was Xu Xun who was hiding in the golden house, so he naturally agreed repeatedly.
After he went in and moved a chair out to wait for Zhu Houzhao to sit down first, he saw Liu Jin holding two more chairs in each hand and coming out, and Xu Xun behind him also brought out two more. He was stunned when he saw Xu Xun arranged the five wicker chairs in a circle, and Zhu Houzhao suddenly put his hands on his hands and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, we are outside today, not so particular, sit down, sit down, sit down, sit down!"
Liu Jin initially thought that he would be in Zhu Houzhao's favour, and at most he would let Xu Xun and Shen Yue sit down together. Unexpectedly, Xu Xun even included himself and the two of them. For a moment, his heart felt really unparalleled. Zhu Houzhao's move When he opened his mouth, he had to refuse for a long time, until Zhu Houzhao glared, and then he pulled Gu Da to sit down with a piece of body leaning against him. Even so, when he saw Shen Yue coming out of the room holding a small red lacquer tea tray, He still quickly got up and went to help. When everyone sat down with a cup of tea, Zhu Houzhao leaned back and sighed happily: "Sister Shen's place is more comfortable!"
"Your Majesty should say that she is bold!" Xu Xun glanced sideways at Shen Yue. Although he said this, his face was full of smiles, "Your Majesty said in the car that I am the only one who has not changed, right? You are the same as before, and you should know by looking at her now that only a bold woman like her can be worthy of a bold man like me."
"No ivory comes out of a dog's mouth!"
These days, Shen Yue was first worried about Xu Xun being imprisoned, and then the emperor died. Xu Xun was suddenly released from prison, and ended up going to the Imperial Pharmacy Hospital to arrest people. He was dazzled by all kinds of things. He had no intention of doing so. After a while, Xu Xun said such bold words in front of Zhu Houzhao, who only sent a message without a single word. She was furious for a moment.
However, Zhu Houzhao looked at this situation as interesting, and nodded in agreement with Xu Xun's words: "Yes, boldness matches boldness, and Xu Xun, I really can't imagine what it would be like to match such a coy one! Sister Shen, don’t worry. After waiting for a while, I will give you a marriage...ah, no, no, we have to wait a few more months. You can just wait for my wedding to be done together. It will be lively and festive. You say How about it?"
"Your Majesty, it's still early for this matter..." No matter how bold and forthright Shen Yue was, she still couldn't help but blush when someone revealed this kind of thing in front of her. Seeing that Xu Xun happened to not dodge. Looking at her with a smile, she felt ashamed and annoyed, but she had to cough and change the subject, "But why is the emperor here today?"
"I haven't been out of the palace for a long time, and I really don't want to stay in the palace today. Since I have become the emperor, I should also take a look at my capital!" Zhu Houzhao said his reasons confidently, and he immediately sank. Face, "As a result, I was blocked from the courtier's house. When I ran here, I saw officials arresting people casually... Although I am the emperor, what I said was not gold-plated words at all... However, one day, one day , I want to hold on to this world tightly!"
Seeing that Zhu Houzhao's face showed an expression that was more resolute than resolute, Liu Jin and Gu Dayong looked at each other and stood up respectfully. Xu Xun saw Shen Yue also left his seat knowingly, so he also He stood up from his seat and took a step forward and said: "For the emperor's ambition, I am willing to do my best.
"I knew you would say that!"
Zhu Houzhao grinned, waved his hand and told everyone to sit down, and he said: "I'm not in the palace today, and I'm in a good mood, so take this opportunity to give me a detailed look at what I'm going to do next."
"Needless to say about the court meeting, Mr. Jiao was the first to come up with the proposal. In addition, I just met Wang Shouren and gave him a pass. But he made it clear to Wang Shilang, and in addition to the British minister who had previously seconded the proposal Those young officials who punished everyone in Taiyuan Hospital will definitely have a group of forces to support this matter, at most it will be a matter of time." When Xu Xun said this, seeing Zhu Houzhao's face beaming with joy, he continued, "As for the government army Vanguard, the late Emperor transferred those 1,500 men from the 12th Regiment Camp before his death, and I have no intention of returning them. It will not be difficult to use the veterans to lead the new troops and slowly get on the right track."
"Okay, these are the two points. Next, Liu Jingu will be of great use!" Zhu Hou looked at the two people and said word by word, "It's time for a few eunuchs to supervise the army in the capital camp. You guys pick one." Let’s see who is suitable for picking the next one. Let me sort out this end first..."
Shen Yue heard that these people were actually discussing political affairs. When Zhu Houzhao wasn't paying attention, she quietly retreated. When she got to the inner room, she casually found the embroidered bandage thrown on the bed. She originally planned to She concentrated on embroidering a few stitches, but she couldn't settle down no matter what. In the end, she even pricked her finger accidentally. She hurriedly dropped the embroidery cloth and sucked the drop of blood. She then sat there and thought about it blankly. She didn't know how long it had passed, but she suddenly heard a commotion, and when she turned her head, she saw Xu Xun barging in.
"you……"
"Okay, enough of avoiding suspicion, you have to weigh in on the next thing." Seeing Shen Yue standing there, Xu Xun smiled and said, "Do you still remember that I sent you a message, what is this? It's boring to run a small business in Xiuzhuang. If you want to do it, go big. Do you want you to buy some land in the south of the city?"
"Of course I remember! It was just such a stupid sentence. After much deliberation, I listened to you and invested all the private money I brought this time. I bought a total of 200 yuan near the west gate of Liulichang. acres of land, 300 acres of land east of Xixinsinan Factory, plus 200 acres of land near Tongjiaqiao..."
Xu Xun has been studying the large area south of Chongwenmen in Xuanwumen these days and has a good understanding of the pattern of those alleys. So when he heard that Shen Yue had bought the land, he couldn't help but be overjoyed and asked quickly: "Then you buy it?" Aren’t these several pieces of land connected together into one piece?”
"It's a joint film, but I spent a total of 30,000 taels! Thirty thousand taels, which is enough to make several silver figures about the same height as you!" Shen Yue stretched out a slap, then raised his face and said, "All in all, I don't have a lot of money except a few hundred taels of silver. If these lands die in my hands, you will have to support me for the rest of my life!"
"Don't worry, you will only become the richest woman in our Ming Dynasty!" Xu Xun laughed dumbly and couldn't help pinching the tip of her nose. Seeing that she opened his hand in annoyance, he said with a smile. , "I was worried that you took action too late, but now it seems that my worry was in vain. Let's go out together and discuss our money-making plan!"
