Zhu Xu raised his eyebrows, turned his head to look at Fu Tao and said, "Who did it?" Is it deliberate? ”

Fu Tao shook his head slightly, and said, "I don't know, but it's really dead, I inquired, and said that it was excessive punishment, and it was rumored that it was suicide in fear of crime." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

Zhu Xu's face fell silent, Wei Zhongxian, after all, he still has to come.

Zhou Jianzong's death is just the beginning.

Fu Tao looked at Zhu Xu's strange appearance and said tentatively, "Your Highness, do you come forward and press him?" ”

Zhu Xu shook his head, Empress Zhang's successive warnings couldn't help but let him take it to heart, if he really let Zhu Youxiao notice and be afraid, all his efforts would turn into flowing water.

Fu Tao saw Zhu Xu's attitude, so he changed the topic and said, "Your Highness, He Yunshan proposed to integrate the three major commercial houses and establish a joint chamber of commerce, what do you think?" ”

Zhu Xu was stunned, and his fingers tapped on the chair. This He Spruce is very discerning, and he has been thinking about this matter, but he has not been very mature.

Fu Tao is the eldest son of the household servant, his eldest cousin, in the Huitong Commercial Bank, the Huimin Chamber of Commerce, and the Huiyun Shipping Company, the three can be said to be invisible and real big shopkeepers. If the three are really integrated, it will naturally increase their strength, and it will be easy to expand and expand profitably.

Zhu Xu pondered for a long time and said: "It's a good idea, after the year, you are anxious about Wei Liangqing, Zhou Jianyu, and He Yunshan, seriously sum it up, write a note and bring it to me to see." ”

Fu Tao agreed, and wanted to leave, although Zhu Xu's Jinghuan Palace did not belong to the inner palace, it was inconvenient to stay for a long time.

Zhu Xu grabbed him and left him to eat.

At the dinner table, only Zhu Xu and Fu Tao chatted idly.

"What has my uncle been busy with lately?" Zhu Xu sandwiched a piece of braised pork.

Fu Tao is less restrained now, and said while drinking soup, "There are many things in the middle of the year, and there have always been more in the yamen and less home." ”

Zhu Xu bit the braised pork and said, "Well, after I go back, tell my uncle to let him pay attention to his body and combine work and rest." ”

Fu Tao nodded, picked up the bowl again, and picked up a piece of watermelon petal.

Zhu Xu moved the plate of fish jelly to the side, and said while shaving the thorns, "Big brother, are you familiar with that Lord Yang Lianyang of the Metropolitan Procuratorate?" ”

Fu Tao was stunned, looked up at Zhu Xu and thought for a while: "This Lord Yang is known as the first honest official of the Ming Dynasty, and he has a very great influence in Donglin. ”

Zhu Xu pulled more than half of the fish jelly into his bowl and said, "Well, it's not convenient for me to leave the palace recently, you can bring some gifts in a few days and visit for me." ”

Fu Tao looked puzzled and said, "Your Highness, why did you suddenly give him a gift?" ”

Zhu Xu finished eating the fish jelly mixed with rice, poured half of the cabbage vermicelli into the bowl, and said while stirring: "The imperial sister-in-law intends to let him be my teacher, you give some gifts first, and stand in front." ”

Fu Tao's chopsticks stopped, his face was even more puzzled, and said, "Your Highness, what is the intention of the queen?" ”

Zhu Xu has always been very fond of cabbage stewed vermicelli, slightly sour and spicy, and said while eating: "Xiong Tingbi's matter is exposed, the imperial sister-in-law is worried about me, find someone to escort me." ”

Fu Tao put the bowl to his mouth, subconsciously pulled it, and secretly said in his heart, "I'm afraid that the queen mother is not only worried about Her Royal Highness's deviation and getting involved in the party dispute, but also takes a fancy to this Lord Yang's influence in Donglin and in the court......

After eating these, Zhu Xu began to serve the soup, stirred it with a spoon, and said, "The gift should not be too heavy, you can reveal it a little." ”

Fu Tao nodded, and then looked at the food on the table, there was almost not much left.

Fu Tao: "......"

The snow in the capital has been endless, and it has not stopped for three days.

During this time, Zhu Xu read books and enjoyed the snow in the study in addition to reading books and appreciating the snow in front of the door.

Empress Zhang recovered well, calling him over for dinner every once in a while, and occasionally bumped into Zhu Youxiao and Zhu Youzhen.

Zhu Youzhen may have been pressured by Zhu Youxiao and Empress Zhang, and did not chase and beat Zhu Xu anymore, but he still had a cold face and no smile when he met.

Zhu Xu didn't have time to pay attention to him, and appeared in Kunning Palace again.

He put a big basket on the table, took out transparent glass objects from it, and said quickly, "Imperial sister-in-law, look at this, this is for you, this is for my eldest niece, don't rob it, imperial sister-in-law, don't rob it......"

Queen Zhang gave birth to a princess, and her body looked a lot plump, so she wore thicker. With a look of curiosity, she reached for the glass plate.

Zhu Xu brought these, there are bowls, chopsticks, wine jugs, wine glasses, teacups, plates, and almost everything on the dining table.

On the shaker next to the table, the little princess has grown up, her skin is crystal clear, her eyes are fighting, her small mouth is open and closed, and she is waving her little hands, which is extremely cute.

Zhu Xu took her fingers to tease her, she immediately hugged and screamed, blinking her big black eyes, and her little face blossomed.

Zhu Xu was very happy, and looked at the table to find something for her to eat.

Empress Zhang's originally happy face suddenly appeared annoyed, and she looked at him angrily and said, "Say, what is your idea today?" ”

Zhu Xu looked up and saw Empress Zhang staring at the bottom of the plate, raising her eyebrows and looking unkind.

"Aha......" Zhu Xu laughed, moved a stool and approached: "Imperial sister-in-law, do you want to reward the daughters of the princes and ministers at the end of the year?" These are the reward items I prepared for my sister-in-law......"

Empress Zhang looked at the address and the name of the contact person on it, frowned, and said, "How much silver do you plan to sell?" ”

Zhu Xu suddenly became serious, and said, "Imperial sister-in-law, a set of dishes and chopsticks, two taels of silver, a plate of five cents of silver, a set on this table, the total price is thirty taels!" ”

Although Empress Zhang almost never bought anything in person, she also knew the prices in the capital, and said with a slight surprise: "Is it really so expensive?" ”

'I can say as much as I want!' ’

Zhu Xu said secretly in his heart, but he smiled but did not say a word.

Empress Zhang took a deep breath, her face was not very good, and she waved her hand and said, "Okay, I will summon Lord Yang into the palace tomorrow, you can prepare." ”

Zhu Xu didn't care about Yang Lian, stretched his neck and said, "Imperial sister-in-law, that ......"

Empress Zhang's eyes became more and more unkind, and she snorted coldly and said: "Send some more, in a few days I will summon the family members of the princes and nobles in Beijing to come to the palace to talk, and I will reward some easily." ”

Zhu Xu hurriedly stood up and said in a long voice: "Sister-in-law Xie! With that, he quickly turned around and slipped away.

As soon as Zhu Xu left, Empress Zhang pressed her temples with both hands and rubbed them vigorously.

"Mother, the milk is hot." Huan'er came out of it, holding a bowl in her hand, her face confused.

Empress Zhang sighed softly, still feeling a terrible headache, took the bowl and said angrily: "Next time King Hui will not allow him to come in without my summons!" ”

Huan'er blinked and said crisply.

The little princess looked at the bowl in Queen Zhang's hand, waving her little hands more and more vigorously, babbling happily. (To be continued.) )
