"Where to…"
Zhu Gaochen rubbed his chin. It was still early. If he went to Sun Ruowei's place, she would definitely not give him a good look.
Who would want to see someone's cold face early in the morning?
After some thought, Zhu Gaochen decided to stroll around the city first before making any plans.
Prince Nan's estate was located north of the Ying Tian Estate. Not only was it close to the Imperial Palace, but it was also a busy street.
After leaving the mansion, Zhu Gaochen walked through the bustling streets, accompanied by Zhao Yun.
It had been three days since the assassination of Jingnan's orphan, and the lives of the common people had returned to normal.
There were many peddlers on both sides of the street.
Although the city had returned to normal, the alert had not been lifted. From time to time, there were officers and soldiers patrolling the streets.
Zhu Gaochen found a noodle shop and decided to fill his stomach first.
"Customer, what do you want to eat?"
As soon as he entered, the waiter of the noodle shop immediately greeted him.
"Two bowls of Yang Chun noodles." Zhu Gaochen replied.
"Alright, please sit down and wait for a while. The noodles will be served soon.”The waiter warmly greeted Zhu Gaochen and Zhao Yun to take a seat, then jogged into the kitchen.
In this era, it was not very popular to eat breakfast.
Other than the nobles, most people only ate two meals a day.
Most importantly, many of the noodle shops in the Ying Tian Prefecture only served some light and bland noodles.
For example, adding beef and beef ribs to the noodles was forbidden by the imperial court.
After all, in this era, cows were important tools.
Other than beef, the meat of other livestock could be eaten at will, including pork.
After a while, the waiter came out of the kitchen with two bowls of steaming Yang Chun noodles.
"Sir, here are the noodles you wanted."
The waiter brought the noodles to Zhu Gaochen and said,""Take your time to eat. If you have any instructions, you can call me at any time.”
After saying that, the waiter went to greet the new customers.
Zhu Gaochen and Zhao Yun were already hungry. As soon as the noodles were served, the two of them took out bamboo chopsticks from the bamboo tube and started eating.
After a while, there was only broth left in their bowls.
Just as Zhu Gaochen was about to pay the bill.
A young man in tattered clothes with unkempt hair and dirty face appeared at the entrance of the noodle shop, his eyes fixed on Zhu Gaochen's leftover bowl of noodles.
The young man looked extremely disheveled, but he did not enter. Moreover, he had the aura of a scholar.
Obviously, the other party was a scholar.
Although Zhu Gaochen did not know his family background, he knew what he was trying to do.
The other party wanted to drink the broth in the bowl after he left.
This scene piqued Zhu Gaochen's curiosity, but he was not in a hurry to leave. The waiter of the noodle shop came over to clean up the table, but he stopped him.
It was said that the scholars of the Ming Dynasty were proud and transparent. After entering the official career, they were even more proud of their death.
Zhu Gaochen didn't have much to do today. He just wanted to see if the arrogance of a scholar could be compromised when he was starving.
Zhu Gaochen was sitting quietly in his seat, looking at the young man with a scholarly temperament at the door with interest.
The young man also realized that Zhu Gaochen was testing him, but his hunger made him unwilling to give up.
Although he kept swallowing his saliva, he did not step into the noodle shop.
Time passed by.
A batch of customers came and left the noodle shop.
Even so, Zhu Gaochen still sat there unmoving like a mountain and refused to leave. The young man also stood guard at the door.
The two sides were in a stalemate.
In the end, the waiter couldn't stand it anymore. He walked to the door and looked at the young man impatiently. He complained,"Hurry up and leave. You come here every day to freeload on Broth. To think that you're still a scholar!”
The young man didn't fight back. He still stood at the door without saying a word.
"Let him in!" Zhu Gaochen was moved by the young man's persistence and ordered the waiter to bring the young man in.
The waiter looked hesitant, but seeing Zhu Gaochen's gorgeous clothes, he knew that he was not poor. In the end, he pursed his lips and could only bring the young man to the noodle shop.
When the young man entered the noodle shop, Zhu Gaochen smiled and raised his hand to signal for him to take a seat.
"Thank you, Young Master." The young man cupped his fists and bowed to Zhu Gaochen to express his gratitude, then sat down opposite him.
As soon as the other party sat down, Zhu Gaochen smiled and said,""I didn't expect a down-and-out scholar like you to have such backbone. If I don't leave, will you also have to wait?”
"Although I am penniless, I know my manners. If Young Master doesn't leave, this bowl of noodle soup in front of you will still be yours.”The young man looked ashamed.
"This Yu?" Zhu Gaochen was stunned and quickly asked,""What's your name?"
"I am Yu Qian." Yu Qian replied.
Zhu Gaochen looked him up and down, and finally said in surprise,""You are Yu Qian?"
"Yes, I am. Does Young Master know me?”Yu Qian nodded.
"I don't know him." Zhu Gaochen shook his head.”
Although Zhu Gaochen didn't show much emotion on his face, he was extremely excited.
He did not expect that this down and out scholar in front of him was Yu Qian.
He was a famous minister of the Ming Dynasty and a hero of a famous clan.
She was willing to smoke, drink, and perm for the Zhu family for the rest of her life. No, that was the Guo family's.
The person in front of him was a famous official who was willing to sacrifice everything for the Zhu family.
It was now the 17th year of Yongle, and Yu Qian was admitted to the Jinshi examination in the 19th year of Yongle. There were still two years before he entered the official career.
However, Zhu Gaochen did not expect the young Yu Qian to be so down and out.
