King of Han Dynasty of Ming Dynasty

That's what I said.

The frightened prince waved his hands and shook his head repeatedly, smiled awkwardly, and said:
"hey hey"

"Forget it, forget it!"

"I won't go down and join in the fun."

"As for the current matter, you just need to get it done."

At this moment, seeing the appearance of the Crown Prince, Zhu Gaoxu could not help but laugh, with a hint of helplessness on his face. He pointed at him and said:

"okay."

"I won't tease you anymore. I won't have fun with you anymore."

"Are you still guarding here?"

"Or are we going to leave now and go to Yingtianfu City together while we have free time today, as we said before?"

Looking down at the platform, the prince pondered for a moment and saw that everyone was safe and sound, without any abnormalities at all. The people queuing also seemed extremely harmonious.

I also know that there is not much point in staring here.

Given the previous lessons and public executions, no one would dare to risk their lives to test the court's bottom line and try to fish in troubled waters.

Therefore, Zhu Gaochi did not intend to stay here for too long, and nodded and said:

"Fine!"

"It just so happens that I am free today."

"We have been brothers for so many years."

"We rarely go out together anymore, and even if we do, we rarely hang out together."

"I just happened to catch up today, so there's no reason not to go."

As he spoke, he turned his head to look at the other ministers in the room and waved his hand:

"You are all the same, just do what you need to do."

"Don't just stand here and waste everyone's time."

"Of course, if you have the time and space, you might as well join us two brothers to experience the scenery and views of our Yingtianfu City."

After hearing this.

The ministers in the room looked at each other.

Afterwards, they all shook their heads in agreement, saying sorry and refusing:
"Thank you, Your Highness, for your kindness..."

"We still have a lot of things to deal with."

"I won't disturb your highness and the prince's elegance."

After all, they are all smart people and they are all shrewd.

Judging from the conversation between the two just now, there is no doubt that they wanted to go out alone and did not really want to have these people follow them.

Although it was an invitation, everyone knew that it was just a polite remark.

Instead of really wanting to invite them, therefore, unless one is really stupid and has no sense at all, how could one be so foolish as to approach them?
After these words fell, several people in the field were unusually surprised, and bowed slightly and saluted respectfully.

One by one, they left and said goodbye.

They watched the ministers leave until only the two brothers were left in the room.

Zhu Gaoxu raised his head and glanced at him in a very inappropriate way, snorted coldly and sarcastically, and said:
"Boss! Boss!"

"Just tell me whether you are fake or not?"

"If you don't want to invite me, don't say so. Why do you have to make such high-sounding remarks?"

"Do you really think these people are fools? Are you inviting me sincerely or just pretending? Can't others see it?"

"It's so boring..."

"I really don't know what you're thinking. Don't you feel tired doing these nonsense things?"

As soon as these words came out.

The prince couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed by what was said directly. He was speechless for a moment and had no idea how to respond.

Dele.

False?

Obviously fake.

But why did you say it again?

Because of habit.

In response to this, Zhu Gaochi smiled awkwardly, and simply sorted out his thoughts. He didn't want to dwell on this issue too much, so he skipped the topic and asked:

"Second brother..."

"Let's go!"

"What's the point of thinking so much?"

"Just say less!"

"You're wasting time talking like this, and we're all going to have less time to go shopping."

"I finally have some free time, so don't be so disappointing and waste your time on these trivial issues, okay?"

Having said that, he did not give Zhu Gaoxu a chance to answer or refute. He put his chubby hand on his shoulder, held him in his arm, and walked out with big strides.

This is the situation.

Others have said so, and as Zhu Gaochi said, there is no need to waste time on these things.

He then wisely shut up and took back the words that were about to come out of his mouth.

Letting him pull them, the two walked outside.

Out of Anning Lane.

There are obviously fewer people in the alley outside here, and it is not as lively as inside An Ning Alley.

When you come to the street, you can see people squatting outside An Ning Lane, waiting for people to come out to go to Daming Money House to deposit, withdraw or exchange money, as well as vendors selling all kinds of food. The intensive shouting makes the place particularly noisy.

There is no city management these days, and vendors are running all over the streets.

However, they are also extremely sensible. They do not occupy the position on the main road, but are placed on both sides of the road.

The two brothers Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaochi came out, smelled the aroma of various foods coming from the front of them, and listened to the shouts coming from their ears.

"steamed stuffed bun."

"Mantou, pancake."

“Steamed meat dumplings and steamed cakes!”

"Shaobing duck blood vermicelli soup."

Have to admit.

These vendors are really good at choosing locations.

Everyone seemed to know that the Daming Money House would open today and that many people would gather here.

But they were not disappointed. There were indeed an unusually large number of people coming in and out of Anning Lane.

With so many people around, business is naturally booming. It is obvious that many small vendors have their clothes soaked with sweat. Although they look very tired, they all have smiles on their faces, without any sign of fatigue.

Zhu Gaoxu looked around, feeling the lively scene around him, then turned to look at the Crown Prince beside him and said with a smile:
"Boss," "You've been busy for almost the whole morning. Are you hungry?"

"Why don't we just eat something on the street, experience the local customs and culture, and fill our stomachs at the same time. If we fill our stomachs, we'll have the energy to wander around later, right?"

"What do you think?"

Zhu Gaochi looked around after hearing this. There was nothing special about this place. He also felt a little empty in his stomach. He didn't pretend to be nice and replied:

"Okay!"

"I don't know how long it has been since I last ate on the street."

"It just so happens that I am free today, and your sister-in-law is not around, so no one will take care of us."

"I can indulge myself and satisfy my cravings."

"Ha ha."

Having said this, he paused, turned his head and looked around, searching for various foods nearby, and asked:

"Second child"

"What do you want to eat?"

Zhu Gaoxu smiled and replied, "What's the matter, Boss, are you planning to treat us?"

Zhu Gaochi was slightly stunned when he heard this, and he couldn't help laughing. He pointed and replied:

"rest assured."

"Although we are not as wealthy as your Han Palace, it is still no problem to treat you to a simple meal."

"Don't act like we are so poor that we can't even afford to eat."

At this moment, both of them were half joking with each other, and the scene seemed extremely harmonious. This scene at this moment fell into the eyes of Lao He and Zhang De, who were following behind them and protecting their safety. They both looked at them slightly sideways, and couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

You know, ever since the two of them followed each other's masters, they all knew that the two brothers Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaochi were completely on guard against each other, and would often stab each other in the back and set traps for them.

However, over the years, it is rare to see the two of them so happy and cheerful.

Such behavior here is unexpected and a bit surprising.

Some even couldn't believe that what they saw was real.

In response, Zhu Gaoxu smiled, but was not polite. He twitched his nose a few times, looked at a shop not far away that specialized in duck blood soup and sesame cakes, pointed at it and responded, saying:
"Then eat it today!"

"Looking back to the past, I heard rumors that Emperor Taizu loved this dish the most."

"We haven't tasted it in all these years. Today we'll have a taste of it and see what Emperor Taizu's favorite food tastes like."

"Boss, what do you think?"

After hearing this, Zhu Gaochi had nothing to say, so he nodded and said:

"Row."

"Let's just have the duck blood vermicelli soup and sesame cakes."

"Let's go!"

Having said that, the two of them turned around without any hesitation and walked towards the shop not far away.

The guards following the two of them knew what to do. A few of them walked quickly towards the stall not far away, showed their badges to the diners eating inside, and said calmly, "

"You don't have to pay today."

"Go quickly!"

The diners who were eating and drinking to their heart's content felt extremely uncomfortable upon hearing this. They opened their mouths to say something, but when they were met with the guard's stern gaze and saw the shining badge in the other party's hand,

Everyone's bodies were shocked involuntarily, and the words that were about to come out of their mouths were forced back. Their faces turned pale with fright, and they dared not stay any longer. They grabbed the unfinished sesame cakes on the table and left the shop on the second floor at a very fast speed as if avoiding the plague god.

There is no other reason.

The badges these people showed were those of the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

In these days, who could afford to offend the Jinyiwei? Once you met them, you wouldn't even have time to hide!
Unless you are a fool or sick, who would dare to stay here for too long? Besides, the Jinyiwei said that you don't have to pay the bill, so you dare not stay here for even a moment.

The boss, who was originally busy in the store, saw several diners leaving without paying, and was about to step forward to stop them. However, before he could move, he heard a "bang" in front of him, and a few small changes were thrown in front of him.

At the same time, a voice of stopping came to my ears.

“Don’t worry about them”

"This money can be considered as meal expenses for those people who just left."

"Is it enough?"

Looking at the shining silver in front of him and the temperament exuded by the few people, what else could the boss say? Of course, the most important thing was that the money given now was already far more than the money that the few diners who had just left without paying had to pay several times.

For this reason, the boss smiled awkwardly and kept his mouth shut.

Afterwards, the guards who came in sat on the stools like ordinary people, forming a circle and leaving the middle position, which was also the safe position they tacitly reserved.

Not long after, Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaochi came in. When they saw the situation, they knew what was going on. They didn't say much or say anything about it. They just pulled out a stool and sat down.

Afterwards, Zhu Gaoxu took the lead and asked the boss, who was still in a daze, with a smile:
"boss"

"Bring two servings of your signature duck blood vermicelli soup and sesame cakes."

The boss was very perceptive when he heard this. He knew the identities of the two people who had arrived. They must be very important. He did not dare to hesitate and said repeatedly:
"Okay, okay"

"I will prepare this for you two masters."

Say it.

He turned around and trotted to the stove, pulled the air gun and added firewood. He did not dare to hesitate for a moment and moved quickly and skillfully.

Just like that, in less than half a quarter of an hour, the boss had already prepared the food ordered by Zhu Gaoxu and quickly brought it forward. However, before he got close, he was stopped by people around him, who took the food from the boss's hands.

With the boss looking confused, he brought the food to the two brothers Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaochi, then tactfully stepped aside and sat quietly, leaving the shop owner alone in the wind, not knowing what to do for a moment, not knowing whether to move or not.

See this situation.

Zhu Gaoxu and the prince looked at each other, and they could see the boss's helplessness and embarrassment, and of course more fear. They all smiled helplessly and said to him:
"boss"

"It's okay, don't be nervous."

"We are just hungry and want to eat. There is no other meaning."

"You don't have to think too much, and you don't have to care so much."

"Just do whatever you need to do here, and don't bother with us."

"Go and mind your own business!"

Order received.

The boss looked around timidly, making sure that no one around him was moving. He finally put his mind at ease, then bowed respectfully and said:
"Yes Yes Yes"

"Enjoy your meal, sirs."

"I will not stand here and disturb you two gentlemen's enjoyment of the meal."

Say it.

Without any hesitation, he turned around and obediently returned to the stove, moved a small stool over, and sat there alone in a daze.

Seeing this, Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Gaoxu were helpless. They looked at each other and said in unison:

“Eat, eat, eat”

"If you don't eat it soon, it will get cold and won't taste good anymore." (End of this chapter)
