In the Eastern Palace, Zhu Yuanzhang walked over with his eunuch.
Madam Lu had already heard the news from Chen Hong, and she had bribed him.
She had been Zhu Yuanzhang's daughter-in-law for many years and knew his habits well.
The old master had never liked enchanting women in his life. At the same time, he also requested his daughter-in-law to be dignified, simple, and generous.
Ever since Concubine Lu entered the Eastern Palace, until the death of Concubine Chang, until she was made official, she had always been careful and never paid attention to extravagance.
She knew that Old Master didn't like that kind of extravagant daughter-in-law.
Today, when she learned that Zhu Yuanzhang was coming, she specially dressed up even more plainly.
"Where's our grandson?"
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Madam Lu and asked casually.
Lady Lu's face was pale and she gritted her teeth." Yunwen has been locked in the study for a day. This child won't listen to any advice. He said he wanted to mourn for his father."”
Zhu Yuanzhang glared at him." But you can't not eat. As a mother, don't you know how to persuade her?"”
"Reporting to the emperor, niangniang also hasn't eaten for a day.”A young palace maid beside him said.
"You unruly thing!" Madam Lu glared at her. Who asked you to talk so much?"
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Madam Lu and sighed."Alright, you motherf * cker…Sigh, the dead can't be brought back to life. The living have to live well. You go eat too.”
Lady Lu bowed slightly and sent Zhu Yuanzhang off.
Looking at Zhu Yuanzhang's back view, Madam Lu's eyes slowly revealed a smile.
As long as they could grab hold of the old master's lifeline, they would definitely be able to get the benefits first.
"Xiao Rou, you did a good job. I'll reward you." Madam Lu said to the servant girl beside her," Let's go. Don't disturb the old master. Let's go eat."”
……
Zhu Yuanzhang walked to Zhu Yunwen's study and said to Chen Hong,"Open the door."
"Didn't I tell you? Don't disturb me from praying for my father?" Zhu Yunwen's unhappy voice came from inside the house.
Zhu Yuanzhang walked in and said as he walked,"You can't not eat even if you wish for blessings."
Zhu Yunwen was surprised and happy. She quickly got up and said,"Greetings, Imperial Grandfather."
Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand." Don't bow. You haven't eaten for a day. If something happens to your body again, tell us. How do you read the Book of Filial Piety?" Tell us about it?"
Zhu Yunwen opened his mouth and said,"A person's hair and skin are inherited from his parents. He does not dare to hurt them. This is the beginning of filial piety."”
"If that's the case, why harm your health and abide by filial piety?" Was this filial piety? This was unfilial! Eat!"
Zhu Yunwen's eyes were a little red as she wiped her tears."Grandfather, grandson…grandson misses father.”
Zhu Yuanzhang felt his heart ache and said gently,""We all understand. Let's eat."
No one missed his beloved Crown Prince more than Zhu Yuanzhang. No one!
However, Zhu Yuanzhang's emotions had already dissipated, and Zhu Yunwen brought up the past to gain Zhu Yuanzhang's sympathy. Zhu Yunwen never understood the truth of going too far. Doing so would not only not make Zhu Yuanzhang closer, but would also make Zhu Yuanzhang even more unwilling to come to the Eastern Palace.
Zhu Yunwen looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and thought that Zhu Yuanzhang was touched by him. He clenched his hands tightly in his sleeves. He knew that he had won!
……
In the fishing island alley.
Today, the emperor's grandson Zhu Yunwen didn't go to school, so Huang Zicheng went off duty early and was eating.
He was in a good mood. He said to the steward,"The taste of this salt is very good. Has Big Ming released new salt?"”
The corners of the manager's mouth twitched, and he said unwillingly,"Old Master, Zhu Huai sold these to the transport company. As the salt increased, the transport company started to sell it at the market.”
"Who is Zhu Huai?"
Huang Zicheng was a little confused. After all, to him, Zhu Huai, a lowly merchant, was just a scene in his life. He had long forgotten about it.
What?
The steward scratched his head." It's the young Langjun who bought our salt mountain. He was also the one who made the salt."”
When Huang Zicheng heard this, his expression gradually froze. The smile on his face slowly disappeared.
"Sold…sold for a lot of money?"
"Yeah, I heard that the Transportation Company charges four taels per catty. Zhu Huai probably earned ten thousand taels of silver by now."”
Huang Zicheng was silent. He picked up his teacup and slowly lowered his head to drink some tea.
However…he suddenly felt that his hands were not listening to him.
It actually began to tremble.
As a result, the teacup in his hand was still trembling violently. The cup was filled with boiling hot water. After it overflowed, his hand did not feel any pain. He was slightly silent. After a long time, he shouted and shook his hand. The cup fell to the ground and shattered.
He remembered that the transport company had asked Zhu Huai to buy the salt mountain at a high price, but Zhu Huai did not sell it.
At that time, Huang Zicheng thought that the people from the transport company had gone crazy.
Now he understood everything. So this salt mountain could actually produce salt? This salt could actually bring so much profit?
How long had it been? At most, it would only take half a month, but ten thousand taels of silver in half a month?
The manager looked at the silent and calm Huang Zicheng. He suddenly admired his master. He was indeed a scholar and the teacher of the imperial grandson. With this shrewdness, he was definitely someone who could do great things!
"Nonsense!"
Huang Zicheng suddenly shouted,"That's the salt mountain that the Emperor bestowed to me. How can you sell it so casually?" Who told you to sell it? You actually dare to sell the kindness bestowed by the Emperor?”
Huang Zicheng looked at the manager with a red face.
The manager was stunned. Wasn't this…sold by you, Master? At that time, he even pretended to lecture them. Why did they blame him?
"Buy it back! Go buy it for me! Hurry up! How much did you sell it for? Now, buy it back for this old man!”
The manager blushed. How could he not know what Huang Zicheng meant? This was…so embarrassing!
You are a scholar of the Imperial Academy, yet you want to compete with merchants for profit?
However, the manager also began to sympathize with Zhu Huai.
Since this kid was a lowly merchant, how could he fight with his master? If Old Master wanted to take back that mountain, it would be a matter of one word.
"Alright, I'll do it now." The steward cupped his fists and left.
