King of Han Dynasty of Ming Dynasty

That's it.

Both of them ended the meal in great joy.

After eating and drinking, Zhu Gaoxu wiped his mouth, stood up and said:
"Boss, let's go!"

"We agreed to go shopping together, so don't waste time here, and don't delay the boss's business."

"There are only two of us here."

"No one dares to come in to eat. It's not easy for the business owner to support his family."

"The shop is open here, and it's sparsely populated. It's a great opportunity to meet the opening of Daming Money House. There are a lot of people gathering here. Others can take this opportunity to make more money and live a good life for a few days."

"Don't make others uncomfortable because of the two of us, and cut off their hard-earned source of income."

"If you act like this, it's a bit too much."

This is said.

Zhu Gaochi also took out the handkerchief from his arms, gently wiped the grease on his mouth, half-closed his eyes and looked around, and he agreed with Zhu Gaoxu's words in his heart.

There are two of them here.

For the safety of the two, the accompanying soldiers and royal guards almost filled up the small shop.

During the time when the two were having dinner, it wasn't that no one came to eat, but several groups of guests were stopped by the Jinyiwei or soldiers, and those who were planning to come and dine were not allowed in.

It is undeniable that it has indeed affected other people's business.

The helplessness and wry smile on the boss's face from time to time could not be hidden from the eyes of the two men.

Thinking of this, Zhu Gaochi did not say much. After putting down the handkerchief he used to wipe his mouth, he raised his hand and took out about one or two taels of silver from his bosom and casually placed it on their table. Then, he waved his hand at the boss who was sitting upright, curled up cautiously in the corner, with his head down, thinking about something, and said:
"boss"

"The silver is on the table for you."

"You don't need to look for the remaining money."

"Just think of it as the two of us dining here affecting your business, and this is my compensation to you."

After hearing this, the boss slowly raised his head and stood up from the stool beside the stove. He looked at the silver on the table without any politeness and said carefully:

"Thank you for your reward, sir."

"Take care, sirs."

Seeing this, Zhu Gaochi could not help but smile helplessly. He did not say much to them. He walked out of the shop side by side with Zhu Gaoxu, smiling.

When the Jinyiwei and soldiers who were responsible for protecting their safety saw the two men leave, they stood up very tactfully without any greetings or instructions, and left the shop in an orderly manner. They looked around with alert expressions, and at the same time followed closely behind Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaochi to protect their safety.

After everyone had left, the boss, who had been huddled behind the stove with a cautious and careful look, finally dared to come out from behind the stove. He reached out to pick up the silver on the table, and couldn't help but take out the silver coins, which were worth almost one or two taels, that the Jinyiwei had thrown to him when they entered.

He couldn't help but smile bitterly with helplessness on his face. He felt relieved, happy and scared at the same time. The emotions here were extremely complicated and he didn't know what to say.

Why is this so?
The reason is very simple. Did he earn money? Obviously he did. Plus the silver given by Zhu Gaochi and the silver thrown to him by the Jinyiwei, the two taels of silver together were almost enough for more than a day's income, and he didn't feel tired at all.

But for some reason, even though he was facing such high profits, he did not feel the slightest bit of excitement in his heart, but more of fear and terror.

The reason is very simple. Although he is at the bottom of society and has not seen or heard much, it does not mean that he is stupid or cannot distinguish between good and bad. Just look at the scene of those guards and the Jinyiwei just now, and this treatment is based on what he has seen.

In the entire Yingtian City, few people can enjoy such treatment.

They are even more grand and cautious than those high-ranking officials.

to this end.

Although the boss didn't say anything, he had some guesses in his mind. After all, he had just heard from the people who were having dinner that it seemed that the King of Han came to support the opening of the Daming Money House and dealt with a troublemaker in front of everyone.

Isn't the direction the two people came from the location of the Ming Dynasty Money House?
It is precisely because of certain speculations and suspicions that the boss is so fearful and afraid.

"hey hey"

"Lao Liu, Lao Liu, what are you thinking about?"

"Why are you standing here in a daze? And what happened to your store just now?"

"I saw several people who came into your store being kicked out by the people inside. They left in a panic."

"What on earth is going on with you?"

"You're not going to do business anymore?"

"Since when did you, a person who values ​​money more than anything else, actually start to chase away guests and refuse to receive them?"

Just when he was stunned, a familiar greeting came to his ears.

"what!"

This scene really frightened the shop owner. He couldn't help but let out a cry of surprise, and unconsciously took several steps back. He subconsciously made a gesture of apologizing, and his face suddenly turned pale.

Such a sensitive action, which was just a joke, actually scared the man.

"Lao Liu, Lao Liu"

"What's wrong with you?"

"Have you lost your mind?"

"You scared me so much. What happened to you? Can you stop being so jumpy?"

"What is going on?"

But it only took a moment for him to see clearly who was in front of him.

The shop owner's expression gradually improved, and he realized that his reaction was a bit too much, so he responded very bluntly, shouting:

"Depend on!"

"Old Li, if you scare people, you'll scare them to death."

"Why don't you just talk quietly? Why do you have to be so jumpy? I almost got scared to death by you. It's simply..."

Having said that, he also recalled the question from the man in front of him. He shook his head slightly, looked him up and down meaningfully, then shook his head slightly and sighed:

"Old Li"

"There are some things you can be curious about, but there are some things I advise you not to be curious about."

"Otherwise, it is easy to suffer misfortune."

"So no matter what you saw, discovered, or heard today, I advise you to pretend you know nothing, and don't go around talking nonsense about what happened in our store today."

"Don't bring disaster to yourself, and don't let it affect your family."

"This is totally unnecessary. It is a reminder and a piece of advice."

Say it.

The shop owner no longer had to argue with him, nor did he want to say anything more about what Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaochi had just done with their meal. He turned around and walked quickly into the shop, and began to clean up the dishes and chopsticks on the table that had been used by Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaochi.

Seeing Old Liu ignoring him and busy with the work at hand, the small vendor called Old Li looked at him awkwardly and snorted with disdain. He was unusually tactful and did not argue with him any more and got to the bottom of the matter.

He also turned around and returned to his stall, busying himself with his own work. After eating, Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaochi left and wandered around the streets without any purpose. There were prosperous places and relatively deserted places. The two stopped and walked along the way.

Time slipped away unknowingly and an hour and a half had already passed.

After walking along the way, the prince was really tired. His face was flushed, and his fat face was covered with sweat. He was breathing heavily and looked extremely embarrassed.

Finally, the prince could no longer hold on and could no longer walk. He repeatedly pulled the enthusiastic Zhu Gaoxu and said:

"hey hey"

"Second brother, second brother, that's enough, that's enough."

"It took us nearly an hour and a half to walk all the way here."

"I really have no strength left and I really can't walk anymore."

"Let's just end this today!"

"If I keep going on, I'm afraid I'll tire myself to death. This is simply invincible."

"If I had known you were so energetic and so free, I would never have agreed to your invitation even if I was beaten to death."

That's what I said.

Seeing the prince's appearance, Zhu Gaoxu couldn't help laughing, stretched out his hand and patted his shoulder heavily, and said with a smile:

"Boss"

"Look at what you're saying."

"Have you never thought that there is something different here today than before?"

After hearing this, the prince was slightly stunned, exhaled a few times, raised his head in confusion and surprise, and looked back, and asked:

"What's different?"

"The only difference, and the one I felt the most, was that I was so damn tired."

“It’s really tiring.”

"I'm so tired that I don't even want to breathe or walk. I just want to lie down and have a good, comfortable sleep."

“Is this different?”

After hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu shook his head helplessly and said:
"Look what you said."

"Think carefully about why you moved in the past. Can you walk such a long distance in one breath?"

"Why are you able to walk such a long distance today?"

"Don't tell me you don't have any thoughts or feelings in your mind!"

Don't tell me yet.

Hearing this, Zhu Gaochi couldn't help but think of something. He originally looked impatient, but at this moment he couldn't help but reveal a look of surprise, and said with some doubt:
"hey hey"

"You know what, this place is really like this."

"I don't know how many years it has been. I haven't walked such a long way or for such a long time."

"It's interesting. It's interesting."

"It seems that the exercise you had me do before, and the diet and weight control I had, seem to have had quite a good effect."

"Hahaha"

"If you hadn't said it, I really wouldn't have discovered this problem."

"I never thought in my dreams that my body could be as good as it is now. It's unheard of!"

"Okay, okay, okay!"

"That's great. According to what you said before, it seems that my body's functions are slowly returning."

"You know what, this feeling is really wonderful. It's really very comfortable."

“I haven’t felt this way in a long time.”

As he spoke, he seemed to have thought of something. His face, which was originally full of smiles, suddenly became introverted, replaced by a look of surprise. He asked in confusion:

"You invited me today and asked me to go shopping with you."

"Is it just to see how my body is doing and to see the effect I have?"

Zhu Gaoxu did not shy away from answering this question. He nodded heavily and said:

"It can only be half and half!"

"I really want to take a stroll and experience the capital of our Ming Dynasty, and relive the feeling of running around the streets when we were young. I also want to take the opportunity to see you. I want to see if the treatment for your obesity that I carefully prepared for you and the precautions I took have any effect on you after such a long time."

"If there is no effect, or the effect is not significant, I will take a look and see if I need to make some adjustments for you."

"Of course, I also plan to discuss this issue with my sister-in-law."

"See if some people can really hold on."

"But now it seems that there is no need for any changes. It seems that the effect on your side is quite good, many times better than before."

“We can finally rest assured.”

The words came out.

After getting the definite answer, the prince's expression changed involuntarily, and his eyes looking at Zhu Gaoxu became complicated.

What was happening right now was really beyond his expectations.

He never dreamed that Zhu Gaoxu would act like this and care about him so much. He didn't know what to say for a moment, and his mood was filled with all kinds of indescribable feelings and emotions.

Zhu Gaoxu took in all the changes here, but he didn't take it seriously at all. At the same time, his purpose had been achieved. He had almost visited all the places he should visit in Yingtian City, so he didn't plan to continue visiting.

Then, he turned his head to look at Zhu Gaochi and asked:

"Boss"

"Let's stop with what we have to do today, and end our stroll now!"

"Are you going back to Daming Bank to continue watching, or are you going directly back to the Prince's residence to rest?"

Zhu Gaochi was slightly stunned when he heard this. He looked at his clothes which were almost soaked by sweat, and shook his head.
"The roads are already paved, just let them do it themselves."

"Besides, given my current situation, it would be inappropriate for me to go back."

"Let's not go back!"

"After these few busy days, the Ministry of Revenue will present the results during the court meeting."

"What about you?"

"Return to the bank or the mansion?" (End of this chapter)
