When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, his outstretched hand trembled and slowly retracted it.
She sighed slowly, opened her red eyes, and looked up with a smile." It's okay. This painting is really good!”
"Oh right, I haven't paid yet."
As he spoke, he hurriedly put his hand into his sleeve.
"No need."
Zhu Rong stretched out his hand to stop him and waved his hand." I won't charge you for this painting today."”
"Your son has passed away. Take this painting as a gift for you.”
"Besides, you've already given me enough just now.”
He was a person who knew how to repay kindness.
The old master had always treated him well. Not only did he come over every three to five days, but he was also very generous.
Just a moment ago, he had taken two notes from them.
Today, he had met someone who was in great sorrow and had come to paint for his dead son. How could he accept money from others?
"How can that be! One is one, two is two!"
"Talking is talking, painting is painting, how can we be the same!”
However, how could Zhu Yuanzhang be willing to give in? As an emperor, how could he take advantage of the commoners?
"Why not? If it weren't for you taking care of me every few days, I wouldn't be able to continue running this art stall!”
Zhu Rong smiled and comforted him again,"Old man, take this painting as my thanks for taking care of you for so many days!"”
"If you really want to thank me, when you're in a better mood, come and take care of my business more!”
"It's getting late. You should hurry home! I have to pack my things and go home!”
"I still have to pay my respects to the Crown Prince in a while."
Zhu Yuanzhang was filled with gratification as he looked at Zhu Rong's warm smile.
As a commoner, he valued simple feelings the most and cherished them the most.
As the emperor, he had always been cared for, protected, and even served carefully.
However, among those people, how many of them were sincere and sincere? They were not afraid, surrendered, or even coveting the dragon throne that he sat on.
However, this child was different. He did not know that he was the emperor at all!
She was purely concerned about him, an old man who had experienced the pain of losing his son.
"Deal! Then let's come again another day!"
Seeing that Zhu Rong refused to accept the money, Zhu Yuanzhang did not act coy. He was a straightforward and capable man.
However, Zhu Yuanzhang did not leave immediately. He had not even figured out Zhu Rong's identity, so how could he return to the palace so easily?
"Child, I want to ask you for a favor.”
"Can you bring us to pay homage to the Crown Prince? I want to see how you do it.”
"I don't know. Do you think so?”
This was the first time Zhu Yuanzhang had heard of the people offering sacrifices to the Crown Prince. He wanted to see it with his own eyes.
"Deal! It was a good thing to hold a memorial ceremony for the Crown Prince. How could it not be done?”
"But you have to wait for me to clean up my stall." Zhu Rong agreed readily.”
As he spoke, he picked up the book basket again and swiftly packed up his things.
"Of course."
Zhu Yuanzhang naturally agreed. Looking at the table full of things, Zhu Rong busied himself.
"Grandson, let's help each other."”
“......”
Zhu Yunwen was stunned and felt jealous.
He still had to help this guy with his work! Clean up the stall?
Grandpa is too good to this guy!？
His grandfather was the emperor!
It was the emperor who had someone to serve him!
He never expected his grandfather to take the initiative to help this guy pack his things! She even pulled him along!
Could it be that his grandfather really thought this guy was his big brother, Zhu Xiongying?
"Here."
Although Zhu Yunwen was very dissatisfied, she didn't dare to say anything. She still had a smile on her face, showing that she was enthusiastically helping Zhu Rong clean up.
Zhu Rong didn't expect the old man to be so enthusiastic, so he raised his hands in embarrassment.
"I won't trouble you. I can do this myself!”
However, Zhu Yuanzhang did not care and attacked first.
"There's nothing to be polite about! Anyway, I have nothing to do!"
"Besides, if it weren't for us, you would have packed up your stall and gone home long ago.”
"The three of us will clean up together so that we can finish quickly. We can't delay the grand event of paying homage to the Crown Prince!”
Zhu Yunwen also echoed Zhu Yuanzhang," Yes, it's a big deal to pay homage to the Crown Prince! We have to hurry!"
"Then I'll accept it respectfully. Thank you both!”
Seeing that the two of them were so insistent, Zhu Rong was too embarrassed to refuse and thanked them.
The three of them cleaned up the stall together.
After a while, the stall was empty, leaving only an empty square table and two chairs.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Xi, who was lowering his head to tidy up his book basket, and asked,""Where are you going to put this table?"
Zhu Rong looked up and said,"This table was rented from the wine shop across the street. You can return it later."”
After Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he said to Zhu Yunwen,"Come, grandson, give me a hand. You and I will carry one head over together.”
Zhu Rong stopped him and said,"How can that be!"”
"Old Master, I'm already very grateful that you helped me pack my things. How can I let you do such heavy work?”
"Thank you for your kindness. You don't have to worry about this table!”
"After I tidy up this basket, I'll return it in a while.”
This table weighed 60 to 70 pounds. How could he let an old man do such heavy work?
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't care. He rolled up his sleeves." It's fine. Don't look down on me!”
"I don't look as young as you two, but in terms of strength, you two really can't compare to me!”
"Grandson, come, carry!"
"Grandpa, you should rest for a while. I can carry this table by myself!”
Zhu Yunwen also wouldn't let Zhu Yuanzhang do heavy work. He was a filial son, how could he let his grandfather do such heavy work?
Before Zhu Yuanzhang could roll up his sleeves, Zhu Yunwen opened her arms and held one side with one hand, thinking of moving the table over alone.
But when Zhu Yunwen exerted force, his whole body suddenly went numb.
He couldn't move this eight-square table by himself!
Born in the palace, he had never touched the water since he was young. His clothes, food, accommodation, and transportation were all taken care of by eunuchs and palace maids. He had never done anything, let alone heavy work!
How could he lift this 60 - 70 jin wooden table?
Who would have thought that this seemingly empty table would weigh 60 to 70 pounds?
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Yunwen, who was lying on the table. You can't lift it?"
“......”
Zhu Yunwen blushed and replied,"I can lift it! It could be lifted! Of course I can!"
After saying that, she gritted her teeth and used all her strength to move the table.
shua shua
Hard work paid off, and the table finally rose from the ground.
Zhu Yunwen's flushed face also revealed a slight smile.
But before he could take a step,
bang
With a dull thud, the table that had just been lifted hit the ground.
