However, although his ideals were full, reality was very difficult.
Yu Qian's words to Zhu Gaochen were fine, but to Zhu Di, the outcome was probably similar to Fang Xiaoru.
After chatting for a while, Zhu Gaochen stood up to pay the bill.
Before he left, he took out a silver note worth a hundred taels and handed it to Yu Qian. When the latter saw this, he looked nervous and hurriedly waved his hand, refusing to accept it.
Yu Qian looked at Zhu Gaochen's silver notes and hurriedly refused,""Young Master Gao, you can't do that. I'm already very grateful that you can treat me to noodles.”
"Take the money and set up a stall. Send the rest of the money back to your mother.”Zhu Gaochen knew that the other party was arrogant, but there were still two years before the imperial examination.
The current Yu Qian was destitute. If he didn't help, he really wouldn't be able to hold the imperial examinations two years later.
In the face of Zhu Gaochen's generosity, Yu Qian knelt down in front of him and kowtowed three times with a solemn expression.
After kowtowing, he accepted the 100 taels of silver that Zhu Gaochen handed over.
"I will never forget your great kindness.”Yu Qian had mixed feelings in his heart. In his eyes, Zhu Gaochen was already his second parent.
Even the way he addressed her had changed from Young Master to Mister.
The so-called wise man is the teacher.
Although Zhu Gaochen was about the same age as him, he was kind and understanding.
In Yu Qian's eyes, Zhu Gaochen was definitely worthy of being called 'mister.'
Zhu Gaochen smiled and helped him up, saying,""If you can maintain your original heart, I believe that you will definitely be able to enter high school in two years. In the future, Big Ming will be considered amazing with you!”
Hearing this, Yu Qian was stunned and quickly reacted."Sir, could it be that you are…"
From Zhu Gaochen's words just now, he had already guessed that the other party's identity was not simple, because ordinary people would not be able to say such words.
Zhu Gaochen smiled without saying anything and left the noodle shop with Zhao Yun.
Only Yu Qian was left standing in the noodle shop in a daze.
After leaving the noodle shop, Zhu Gaochen looked pained and sighed,""I actually lost more than 100 taels just by eating noodles. No, I have to get someone to reimburse me!”
Yu Qian would be an important minister in the future. If he wanted to reimburse, he would definitely look for the old man.
However, the old man had just given him five thousand taels, so Zhu Gaochen was too embarrassed to ask him for more money.
After some consideration, Zhu Gaochen decided to go to the Eastern Palace and ask Crown Prince Zhu Gaochi for money.
At any rate, he was the one who saved the down-and-out Yu Qian. Moreover, the future three generations of the Zhu family's emperors also had Yu Qian's assistance to stabilize the situation of the Ming Dynasty.
Logically speaking, Crown Prince Zhu Gaochi should have paid 1,280 taels of silver to thank him.
Thinking of this, Zhu Gaochen brought Zhao Yun to the Eastern Palace.
After knowing Zhu Gaochen's goal, Zhao Yun couldn't help but shiver. She thought to herself, His Highness is really someone who doesn't suffer losses!
In the Eastern Palace.
As soon as Zhu Gaochen entered the door, he saw a lady in a gorgeous brocade robe sitting under a grape rack with a pet dog in her arms.
"Sister-in-law." Zhu Gaochen took the initiative to greet the lady when he saw her.
The lady with an outstanding temperament in front of him was Zhu Gaochi's wife, the Crown Princess Zhang, and also the future Empress Zhang!
"So it's Fourth Brother. What wind blew you here today?”Zhang shi said with a smile.
"Where's my big brother?" Zhu Gaochen asked.
"He's in the study. The old master gave him a painting, and he's been thinking about giving it a poem.”Zhang shi said.
Knowing that Zhu Gaochi was in the study, Zhu Gaochen did not stop and went straight to the study.
In the study room.
Crown Prince Zhu Gaochi looked at the tiger picture hanging on the wall, his face full of worry.
Ever since he returned from the palace, he had been thinking about the concept behind the tiger picture. Only by comprehending the concept could he recite poems based on the concept.
"Big brother!" Just as Zhu Gaochi was in a dilemma, Zhu Gaochen pushed the door open and entered.
"Fourth brother."
Upon seeing Zhu Gaochen, Zhu Gaochi enthusiastically pulled him to the side and pointed at the picture of a tiger hanging on the wall, whispering,""Fourth brother, you have to help big brother.”
"I can help you, but"
Zhu Gaochen grinned and said,""You have to pay!"
"This... Zhu Gaochi was stingy, and Zhu Gaochen even asked him for money. How could he give it to him?
But now that he had a favor to ask, Zhu Gaochi stammered for a long time and said,""As long as you help me pick up the poem, the money can be discussed. However, you have to tell me how much you want first.”
Zhu Gaochen gestured in front of Zhu Gaochi and said with a smile,""Not much, five hundred taels."
"What is it? Five hundred taels?" Zhu Gaochi opened his mouth wide and waved his hand repeatedly."No, I only gave ten taels, not a penny more.”
Zhu Gaochen curled his lips. He met Yu Qian today and helped him, which could be considered as indirectly contributing to Da Ming.
Moreover, Yu Qian would not be his subordinate in the future.
Zhu Gaochi only gave ten taels, how could Zhu Gaochen agree?
"Since big brother is unwilling, then I have no choice. You can solve this matter yourself.”
Zhu Gaochen rolled his eyes and turned to leave.
"Fourth brother, let's talk things over." Zhu Gaochi quickly pulled him back. Right now, all the officials in the Crown Prince's Residence had been arrested and sent to the imperial prison for investigation. He had no one under him. As for his son, Zhu Zhanji, he had already run out to fight cricket.
Zhu Gaochen was the only one who could help him now. Therefore, he had to keep him here no matter what.
