Chapter 8: Wei Zhongxian gives gifts

Zhu Youxiao thought of the millimeter ruler, and he was in a good mood. For the time being, I will leave behind the bad things of the intrigue of the foreign court ministers.

Zhu Youxiao asked with a smile: "Little Wu, you came here again today, what do you need help from your eldest brother?" ”

"Big brother", Zhu Youzhen said breathlessly: "I want to open a boutique wood trading house, how about it?" ”

"Open a trading house?" Zhu Youxiao was taken aback, "Little Wu, you don't have a fever, do you?" He asked with some consternation, "What kind of identity are you, how can you do this kind of cheap labor?" ”

"I'm not sick," Zhu Youzhen tried to explain, "I won't come forward myself, I just ask someone to open a store." We're such a good thing," he continued, gesturing to the recliners, "we're going to have to make it pop all over the world." He narrowed his eyes, with an imaginary expression on his face, "Think about it a hundred years later, when future generations will research the inventor of the recliner and find that it was actually made by the eldest brother, then you can't be shocked to drop your jaw." ”

Zhu Youxiao was infected by Zhu Youjian, and he also imagined the scene in the future, and he didn't feel it. He nodded slightly, and thought in his heart: "Anyway, it's not Xiao Wu who comes forward in person, it's not a big deal if someone comes forward, isn't there a special business in the imperial village?" Together, the resistance was greatly reduced.

Zhu Youxiao heard Xiao Wu say again: "Big brother, this store is opened by our brothers." Without waiting for Zhu Youxiao to speak, Zhu Youzhen waved his arm first to encourage him: "Big brother, you are our chief master." Well, you should be called a master. Big brother, you want a bright name, we want to let this name spread all over the world. Let everyone know that there is still a great carpenter master like you in the world. ”

This sentence completely moved Zhu Youxiao. Zhu Youzhen felt as if there was a gang in his heart, and he suddenly burned. He had always wondered what level of his craft had reached. The subordinates in the palace were all saying yes, but he knew very well why they were complimenting, it contained a lot of water.

Now get a shop, start a stage name again, and want to see if your craft is popular, everything is up to the work. Good idea, that's a really good idea. Zhu Youxiao rubbed his hands excitedly.

He immediately began to think about what kind of stage name he should give himself, so that it can be catchy and easy to spread. As for the opening of the store, there is no need to discuss it anymore, it must be opened.

Zhu Youzhen kept looking at him with a small face. Seeing Zhu Youxiao's flushed face, Zhu Youzhen knew that he had been moved. I didn't say anything more, just stood aside and waited quietly.

It didn't take long for Zhu Youxiao to say with a little hesitation: "My stage name is Mingzong." In the future, I will be called Master Mingzong in the future. ”

Zhu Youzhen smiled secretly in his heart; "Mingzong, the great master of the Ming Dynasty, amazing. Big brother really thinks of himself. Thinking in his heart, he waved his arms and said excitedly, "That's a good name." But the eldest brother is still too modest, you should be called Ming Dazong. ”

With a "poof", Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but laugh and scolded: "Little Wu, you have to go and read more, you don't even have a good name." What has become of Ming Dazong? Stop making jokes. Go ahead and open a shop, and if you encounter any difficulties, come to me. ”

Zhu Youzhen happily returned to Ciqing Palace. As soon as he entered the hall, before he could sit down, a little eunuch came in to report: Wei Zhongxian, the eunuch of the ceremonial supervisor Bingbi and the governor of Dongchang Wei, came to visit.

Zhu Youzhen politely welcomed Wei Zhongxian into the hall, and the two sat down separately.

Wei Zhongxian looked at the small figure and childish face opposite. I lost my mind for a while. Although the other party is young, he has a good life, and his surname is Zhu.

Nominally, the people surnamed Zhu are their own masters. He is just a slave surnamed Zhu, although he is now the eunuch of the ceremonial supervisor Bingbi and the governor of Dongchang, and he has great power in his hands. But the master is the master, and the slave is the slave.

He knew very well that his ownership and power were all attached to that young man. Of course, if it is in front of other people with the surname Zhu, he may not need to care too much, but in front of the young and surnamed Zhu in front of him, he still has to be honest and small. No way, who made him the most favored brother of the young emperor. And there is no sign of falling out of favor in the short term.

The last time I was impeached. His seemingly unintentional words can easily escape with his whole body. If he offends him, he will inadvertently say two bad things about himself in front of the Son of Heaven, and he will probably suffer a lot.

Now that I have no conflict with him, it is important to be good friends with each other. Come out and mix, where is not multiple friends and multiple roads.

Zhu Youzhen looked at Wei Zhongxian, who was dignified and tall, and after he sat down, he was inexplicably stunned. He couldn't figure out the veins of the first eunuch of the ages, and he didn't want to speak first. The hall was a little cold for a while.

Wei Zhongxian came back to his senses and secretly blamed himself. How can you get distracted at such a time, isn't this clearly offending people? Fortunately, I came as a gift this time.

"Cough", he coughed lightly, first attracting the attention of His Royal Highness King Xin. Then he looked at King Xin, with a sincere smile on his face, and slowly asked, "His Royal Highness King Xin, the old slave heard that you are looking for a storefront, but I don't know if there is such a thing?" ”

"That's the thing." Zhu Youzhen did not shirk and directly admitted it. "I'm planning to open a boutique carpentry firm."

Wei Zhongxian was slightly taken aback, the current ministers and nobles all regard business as a cheap business, and even if they get involved, they are all hidden and tucked, and no one puts it on the surface. When I came, I was also worried, for fear that His Royal Highness King Xin would refuse to admit it. But in vain he thought of some reasons, but he didn't expect him to admit it after a while.

Wei Zhongxian no longer hesitated, took out a few pieces of paper from his arms and handed them over.

Zhu Youzhen didn't reach out to pick it up, but asked lightly: "I don't know what Grandpa Wei means?" ”

"Oh, my Highness the King of Letters, you can torture the old slave. How can an old slave be called, your father-in-law. Wei Zhongxian's tall figure immediately bent down, and he threw the pieces of paper on the table again and again.

"This is a house near Xuanwu Gate, some of which are in disrepair, but fortunately, the place is quite spacious. If His Royal Highness King Xin does not dislike it, you can go and see if it is suitable. Wei Zhongxian said with a smile.

Seeing Zhu Youzhen's puzzled eyes, Wei Zhongxian explained with a smile: "The old slave listened to the Holy Lord's chatter, and His Royal Highness the King of Faith wants to open a carpentry trading house. It just so happens that there is such a useless house at hand, and it would be a pity if he was left deserted all the time, so he brought it to His Highness to see if it could come in handy. ”

Wei Zhongxian took out a few pieces of paper from his arms again and handed them to Zhu Youzhen. Zhu Youzhen finally understands now, and dares to love Wei Zhongxian, this is a gift for himself. He is very good, Wei Zhongxian rushed to give himself gifts. This time he reached out and took it.

These pieces of paper feel a little different from ordinary paper in your hand. At first glance, there are a lot of complicated patterns printed on it, and there are three traditional Chinese characters "ten thousand taels" in the middle. There are a total of 4 cards in hand.

Zhu Youzhen was taken aback, and looked up at Wei Zhongxian, who was hunched over and smiling.

These should be the legendary silver tickets. As soon as he made a move, it was 40,000 taels, and Wei Zhongxian was so bold.

It is no wonder that he was able to spread all over the court later, and was eventually called nine thousand years old. Just look at the spirit of gift-giving, throwing thousands of dollars, without changing color, you can see that Wei Zhongxian has a knack for gift-giving.

Wei Zhongxian saw Zhu Youzhen's complexion change, and smiled secretly in his heart: "Hehe, I've never seen so much money, right?" Looking at the posture, it should be no problem to make friends this time. But he said more and more respectfully: "This is the silver ticket of Dexing Qianzhuang, and they are all paid at sight." His Royal Highness King Xinwang has a large cost to open a store, you use it first, not enough for you to speak. ”

Looking at the 4 silver tickets, Wei Zhongxian was also a little painful. Originally, he only planned to take out 2 sheets, but as soon as he came to the door, he was distracted in front of King Shin, which seemed to cause King Shin to be a little displeased. And the title deed of the house, King Shin doesn't seem to be very interested. had no choice but to be ruthless and took out all the 4 silver tickets worth 10,000 taels on his body. Now it looks like it's working pretty well.
