Morning.
The warm sun rose slowly.
Su Ce carried some rice and opened the door to the backyard.
The backyard faced the river, and many old women who woke up early to do their laundry would do their laundry here.
"Little Su is making breakfast?"
"Yes, yes."
Su Ce answered simply. After washing the rice, he greeted the old woman in the neighborhood and returned to the courtyard.
"Sigh, this child is so pitiful."
"He has no parents and is seriously ill.”
"Being so independent at such a young age really makes one's heart ache.”
"I heard that his ancestral home is the Suzhou government, and he was engaged to a young lady from a certain family in Beiping. This illness…even caused the marriage to fall through.”
"Poor child."
The old women chatted in twos and threes.
These days, Su Ce had heard a lot and laughed it off.
In the kitchen.
Su Ce cooked the porridge and took out a few pieces of dried radish from the big jar. He cut them into pieces and placed them on the plate.
After everything was done, he took a rag and wiped the kitchen clean.
Every part of the small courtyard was spotless. Su Ce would repeat these simple tasks every day.
Initially, the system would still reward him, but as time passed, Su Ce realized that when he repeated something a certain number of times, the system would no longer reward him.
However, he did not slack off because the system did not reward him.
In the past three years, the system had rewarded him with many books. There were Confucian classics, Taoist and Buddhist thoughts. He had nothing to do usually. After breakfast, he would sit in the courtyard and read seriously.
If someone came to ask about the test, he would put down the book and give the other party guidance and predictions.
The other party would pay the same price.
Although it was not much, it was enough for him to survive every year.
He sat in the courtyard and placed a plate of dried radish on a small wooden table. He sat in front of the small wooden table with a bowl of thick porridge.
Dong dong dong.
Su Ce stood up to open the door after the knock.
"Young Master, I'm here again."
Zhu Houzhao was smiling and there was an imperial physician behind him.
"Come in. Have you had breakfast?"
"Not yet," Zhu Houzhao said with a smile.
"Are you used to it?"
Su Ce pointed at the simple dishes on the small wooden table.
"I'm used to it."
Zhu Houzhao's daily breakfast was naturally much more generous than this simple meal. However, in consideration of Su Ce's self-esteem, he did not show any disdain.
Actually, he didn't have to care about Su Ce's pride because Su Ce didn't really care.
When one's life was coming to an end, all external things would become less important.
Su Ce went to get two bowls of thick porridge.
Since the Crown Prince had brought the imperial physician, Su Ce had to express his gratitude. It was just that this gesture…was a little simple.
But he didn't have anything to show.
"Huff huff huff."
Zhu Houzhao moved very quickly. He squinted his eyes and said with a look of enjoyment,""Sure! This simple thick congee is much better than the congee at home!”
"And this dried radish, how did you do it? Teach me, I'll cook it myself when I go back.”
Su Ce turned a deaf ear to Zhu Houzhao's mouth. It was hard to change a person's habit of speaking. Occasionally, he would reveal things about his identity.
Su Ce already knew that the person sitting in front of him was the Crown Prince of Great Ming, the future Emperor, so he didn't really care.
During these three years, Su Ce often cleaned and improved his house. The system also rewarded him with knowledge about cooking. When he was idle, he would learn how to cook. The seemingly simple thick porridge had many tricks up its sleeve.
There was also the marinating of the dried radishes.
However, these were all unpresentable things, so Su Ce didn't really care.
He smiled and said," If you like to eat, bring some when you go back. There are still many dried radishes in the big jar."”
Su Ce picked up a white handkerchief and handed it to Zhu Houzhao." Wipe your mouth."”
"Oh."
The imperial physician at the side felt very strange.
He did not know who the young man in front of him was, so he could only bury his head in the side and eat his breakfast.
He did not know why the Crown Prince wanted to bring him out so early in the morning, but now he knew.
The gentle and refined young master in front of him seemed to have a very serious illness.
After breakfast.
Zhu Houzhao said to the imperial physician,"You, show your medical skills and treat him."”
Zhu Houzhao patted his chest and said to Su Ce,""Young Master, don't worry. My family's doctor is much more powerful than those people outside. He will definitely be able to cure your illness!”
Su Ce nodded lightly and nodded.
He stretched out his wrist. The ancient doctors paid attention to looking, listening, asking, and feeling. The imperial doctors of the Imperial Academy of Medicine naturally represented the highest level of medical treatment in the current era.
When the imperial physician took his pulse, his brows furrowed.
"Does the young master cough often?"
"Yes." Su Ce nodded.
The imperial physician sighed in his heart. Such a young child had actually contracted such a serious illness. There was almost no way to treat his consumption. He was definitely going to die.
"Yes, it's not a big deal. I'll prescribe a few medicines for the young master.”
The imperial physician gave Zhu Houzhao a look and followed him out.
Su Ce smiled bitterly.
He knew that the imperial physician did not want to say that this illness was incurable in front of him.
……
Outside the door.
"Your Highness, I can't cure it unless I do. This is a phthisis that can't be cured.”
"Bullshit!" "You treated my brother like this back then, and you said he couldn't be cured!" Zhu Houzhao shouted. Don't think that Bengong doesn't remember anything back then!"
"What else can you do? Go away!"
The imperial physician shook his head and left with a sigh.
Zhu Houzhao took a deep breath and walked in with a sloppy smile.
"Little mister, isn't my family's doctor powerful? He said that you're fine.”
" Mm." Su Ce nodded." Impressive, impressive. You're the one who's impressive. You're able to call such an impressive doctor."”
Zhu Houzhao waved his hand.”
It was very awe-inspiring!
Zhu Houzhao didn't want Su Ce to despair, so he changed the topic and said,""You told me yesterday that the problem of the Japanese in the southeast is the traitors. Is there any way to solve it?”
In the past, Zhu Houzhao would always think of using force to conquer. But now, he had learned to think. He knew that in many aspects, force might not be able to solve things.
"Yes, but it will be very difficult."”
Zhu Houzhao patted his chest." It's not difficult for me. Tell me quickly. I'll give you a great merit…Uh, I mean, I'll give you a reward."”
"Open the sea," Su Ce said simply.”
"After the ban on the sea is lifted, the Ming government will be able to trade with overseas countries. The coastal areas will levy customs duties, and smuggling will be reduced. There will be no benefits to be gained.”
"It's not difficult." Zhu Houzhao listened carefully.”
Was it not difficult?
Su Ce smiled slightly. This guy had yet to see the terrifying side of the scholars of the Ming Dynasty!
