The New Year is approaching, the streets are full of busy pedestrians, all kinds of New Year's goods are also the best-selling season, Xinyuan, for thousands of years, is the most important festival of the Han people.

In such a busy crowd, businessmen are undoubtedly the happiest, one by one earning a lot of brains, and when they see all kinds of pedestrians, they also do not hide the anger on their faces; Women are the protagonists of this buying tide, and even those housewives whose families are not wealthy are spending a lot of money without mercy, and they have worked hard for a year, so that their children can wear beautiful new clothes and eat delicious meals at the time of the new year, which is also right.

The children's laughter and slapstick pushed the atmosphere before the festival to the top, at this time, a coquettish or something, buy a string of firecrackers, ask for new clothes, will not be scolded by the elders, at most a laughing and scolding.

In this busy season, Zhu Youzhen is the most comfortable person. The first avenue has been cultivated from Jingshi to Yongpyeongfu, and now because the new yuan is approaching, the soldiers of the Siyong Battalion are going to take a holiday, so they have temporarily stopped working. However, Zhu Youzhen received funds from the household department to sell cement.

After accounting, the net profit was 11,000 taels of silver, and together with the profit of the brick kiln factory, a total of 14,000 taels were earned. Such a little bit of silver, compared with the salt merchants and big households in the south of the Yangtze River, is just a drop in the bucket. But for Zhu Youzhen, it is enough, after all, it has only begun, and the commercial value of cement has not yet been developed, if the commercial value of cement is fully developed, Zhu Youzhen believes that even the big households in Jiangnan will cry and shout, asking for # to buy cement from themselves.

When the world was busy, Zhu Youzhen was idle at an inopportune time. The four military battalions began to take turns on vacation, and the training of the soldiers was temporarily suspended. Zhu Youzhen took Wang Mujiu and others from the barracks back to the Miaoqin Palace.

"Your Highness is back!" Hearing the sound of horses' hooves, Xu Yingyuan came out. Seeing Wang Mujiu, he also bowed, and then commanded the palace to take away everyone's horses and send them to the stable.

Wan'er heard the sound and when she came out, Zhu Youzhen had already entered the middle door, she stood firmly in front of Zhu Youzhen, looked at Zhu Youzhen blankly, and even forgot to say hello.

"What's wrong with Wan'er?" Zhu Youzhen found that Wan'er, who used to be very lively and had a small mouth, is now becoming more and more stupid. Calculate the situation of Wan'er and herself, it should be considered love! Could it be that the IQ of a woman in love has really dropped so much? Or does the mind belong to it, causing a short circuit in the mind?

"Your Highness is back?" Wan'er seemed to have just woken up, rubbing her eyes stupidly.

"What do you mean to come back? Do you know I'm coming back? Zhu Youzhen found that this girl was getting more and more stupid, and if she continued like this, she would not be far from being an idiot.

"The slave maid dreamed that His Highness came back last night, and His Highness really came back today." After Wan'er finished speaking, she realized that something was wrong, Zhu Youzhen was followed by Wang Mujiu and others, she quickly covered her mouth with her little hand, and seemed to blame her mouth for being troublesome. The eyes were also uneasy to sweep around the faces of Wang Mujiu and the others, if there was dust on their faces, they would have been swept away by Wan'er's shy gaze.

Wang Mujiu and the others naturally couldn't take Wan'er's words to heart, and they shouldn't have heard what they could say, so they filtered it directly. But Zhu Youzhen was interested: "Ao? It turns out that Wan'er still has the ability to be an unpredictable prophet? How did I not know? ”

"Your Highness!" Wan'er's voice suddenly raised an octave, as if she was going to completely annihilate Zhu Youzhen's teasing.

"Haha. All right! Wan'er, you go and make a few snacks. Today I'm going to pay Captain Wang a few drinks. Usually in the barracks, Captain Wang takes care of me! In front of his own soldiers, Zhu Youzhen couldn't bear to laugh at Wan'er, so he gave her a chance to escape.

"Yes, Your Highness. The slave and maid will go and prepare. "When she is shy, Wan'er doesn't run at a speed that is blown. What kind of doping do people do in later generations? If you adjust the time of the girl's sinessness to the moment the starting pistol starts, the Olympic champion is secure.

Wang Mujiu grinned when he saw Wan'er running away, and the other team members also laughed. Zhu Youzhen grabbed his hair a little embarrassed, and opened the page in front of the soldiers.

Wan'er and Xiao Ning quickly prepared a table of sumptuous appetizers, although Zhu Youzhen usually does not have high requirements for food, but today Wang Mujiu brought a few personal soldiers into the Xinwang Mansion, these guests from the military camp, the appetite is not ordinary.

Wang Mujiu and his soldiers didn't dare to sit, they were just Zhu Youzhen's guards, how could they have their seats in the Miaoqin Palace? Zhu Youzhen dragged Wang Mujiu over: "They are all brothers in the army, how can there be so many rules?" Come, brethren, all of you take a seat. Today you are not in the barracks, but you drink openly. The palace lacks everything, that is, there is no shortage of wine. ”

Wang Mujiu and the others saluted again, and then sat down uneasily.

"Mu Jiu, let's do one first, I've worked hard for you." Zhu Youzhen cupped and touched Wang Mujiu.

"Your Highness." Wang Mujiu was not polite to the wine, and when he raised his neck, a glass of wine was already grunting.

Didn't eat a mouthful of food, the two of them had already drunk three glasses, and the rest of the soldiers were still staring, I don't know why Zhu Youzhen, who usually doesn't like alcohol, is so excited today.

"Your Highness, drink slowly. Let Captain Wang eat some food! Wan'er was worried that Zhu Youzhen would drink on an empty stomach and hurt her body, so she had to use Wang Mujiu as a shield, but her eyes still stabbed Zhu Youzhen.

"Huh? Yes, Mu Jiu, eat vegetables. Brothers, eat the vegetables. There is no such good food in the barracks. Wan'er's craftsmanship is good. Zhu Youzhen ate while talking, he was not afraid of being tired in the military camp, but it was too hard. The unpalatable nature of the big pot dish is probably only experienced by people who have been to the battlefield and studied in college in their early years.

Everyone ate with Zhu Youzhen, and Wan'er felt that it was even more ugly than calling Huazi for the New Year, could this be a soldier? So is this how His Highness lives in the barracks? He was born as a prince, how could he endure such suffering?

"Mu Jiu, on weekdays in the military camp, I have to train and take care of my life, are the brothers tired?" Zhu Youzhen likes this bold and careful, and he is at ease with what he encounters.

"As long as you have wine, you don't get tired." Wang Mujiu didn't have time to look at Zhu Youzhen, but rushed to throw a piece of beef into his mouth, and the words behind were vague, as if they were two dogs grabbing bones when they made a "whining" sound.

"Poof." Wan'er hurriedly covered her mouth, but she couldn't stand up with a smile, so she had to squat down, covering her stomach with one hand and her mouth with the other, but she couldn't make any sound.

Zhu Youzhen also noticed Wan'er's abnormality, and he quickly changed the topic: "En? No wine, you're not the captain right? ”

"No, Your Highness. The subordinate said, at the right time, drink some wine, and I, the captain, should be more motivated. After a few glasses of wine, Wang Mujiu was no longer restrained, he had already regarded this Qingong Palace as his own martial arts camp.

"Why not drink more? I don't have any wine for you to drink on weekdays. Zhu Youzhen knew that Wang Mujiu had a good sip, but in the barracks, there was no supply of alcohol, and besides, his own safety was handed over to Wang Mujiu, and no matter how greedy he was, he could still distinguish the weight of the matter. Now that he has left the barracks, he finally has a chance to drink, so he simply let him drink more, and in the Xinwang Mansion, he does not need to be responsible for his own safety.

Wang Mujiu didn't treat himself as an outsider, and after a while, he lay on the table and snored.

Zhu Youzhen asked Xu Yingyuan to arrange a room, and the soldiers of this special combat team will be stationed in the Miaoqin Palace in the future.

Wan'er went to clean up the dishes, and boiled the bath water for Zhu Youzhen, and waited for Zhu Youzhen to sleep.

Zhu Youzhen slept very soundly. When I woke up, the sun had already risen, and the servants and maids of the palace were busy preparing for the new yuan.

"Wan'er, why didn't you wake me up?" Zhu Youzhen stretched his waist and got out of bed.

"Your Highness didn't say anything, did you? Seeing that His Highness slept so soundly, it should be too hard to come to the barracks, who can bear to wake you up? Wan'er hugged her arms, leaned on the small table, and winked at Zhu Youzhen, the look in her eyes was clearly her reluctance.

"Haha, it's fine. Wan'er, fetch water to wash your face. Zhu Youzhen has already put on his clothes, "What about Wang Mujiu?" Are you up? ”

"The slave and maid will go and fetch water. Your Highness, Captain Wang hasn't gotten up yet, he drank too much last night, and he hasn't woken up yet! Wan'er turned around and walked out of Zhu Youzhen's bedroom and quickly brought a basin of warm water.

"Then let him go to sleep! It's really hard in the barracks, and it's rare to get a good night's sleep. Nothing happened today anyway. Zhu Youzhen moved his body for a while, picked up the tea that Wan'er had already brewed and drank it violently. He also drank a lot of alcohol yesterday, and his throat is still dry.

People work hard in the barracks and don't even have a good night's sleep, so what about you? You're the prince who grew up in a greenhouse. Wan'er looked at Zhu Youzhen's eyes, and she felt more pity, the kind that was very maternal. "Your Royal Highness, the queen mother has sent a message, it is about the princess."

"Believe in the princess? What's wrong? Zhu Youzhen looked at Wan'er, what's wrong with this girl now? I don't finish the words all at once.

The queen said that after the new yuan, February 6 is His Royal Highness's birthday, and it is an auspicious day for the zodiac. Niangniang's meaning is to ask Her Royal Highness to marry Princess Xin. Wan'er's eyes had a faint sadness.

"Marry me" so what am I going to do? In Zhu Youzhen's mind, the palace maid with small broken steps appeared again, "as if it was like a light cloud covering the sun, and it was like a wind blowing snow."

"Your Highness, you are the prince, and everything is handled by the Zongren Mansion. Even the silver that was levied and collected was from the Zongren's house. His Royal Highness only needs to clean up the palace of Princess Xin, and when the time comes, he will wait to be the groom! "This time, Wan'er finished talking at one time, so as not to worry about Zhu Youzhen. But Wan'er's tone of voice became more and more blunt, and her eyes no longer dared to look at Zhu Youzhen. She lowered her head, her little hands seemed to be superfluous, and she didn't know where to put them, and finally she kneaded the corners of her blouse fiercely, as if the corners of her clothes couldn't get along with her.

"Haha, Wan'er." Zhu Youzhen pulled Wan'er over and pressed it on his leg. "The princess has passed the door, you are still my Wan'er, and you still have to serve me." Zhu Youzhen knew that Wan'er had been worried about Zhou Yufeng, she and Zhou Yufeng had no direct relationship, and she didn't know how Zhou Yufeng, as his wife, would treat him, a girl who had sex with her. Zhu Youzhen is not worried, he can't bear to hurt this girl who is so considerate of him, and he will never allow others to hurt her, even Zhou Yufeng.

"Oh, Your Highness, what are you doing in broad daylight? Captain Wang is still in the house! Wan'er struggled hard and finally broke free from Zhu Youzhen's arms. She straightened the wrinkled skirt and glanced at Zhu Youzhen, her little face was red in the white, and it flickered in the mist from the small mouth, hazy.

"Afraid of what? I'll give you a name sooner or later. Zhu Youzhen smiled evilly, this stupid girl, getting angry, is also a different flavor.

"Your Highness, the slave is down to business!" It took a long time for Wan'er's heartbeat to return to its normal level. "When His Royal Highness gets married, it is inconvenient for the emperor and queen to come forward, I am afraid that a few uncles and princes will come to preside over the marriage."
