Zhu Biao......

You are the crown prince, Lao Zhu's own son.

No matter how reckless you are, Lao Zhu is not willing to punish you.

But I don't have that confidence.

Mu Ying sighed secretly and said, "The courtesy of the monarch and the minister must not be messed up. ”

Zhu Biao could only let go of Mu Ying.

Mu Ying greeted Zhu Bai at this time: "Your Highness is good." ”

Zhu Bai smiled and said, "Master Mu has worked hard. ”

When "pulling out the flag", Mu Ying was Zhu Li's master. Therefore, it is not rude for Zhu Bai to follow Zhu Li and call Master Mu Ying.

Otherwise, it is called Lord Mu, and it seems to be raw. As Zhu Biao called him Brother Mu, it seemed a little weird.

Mu Ying looked at Zhu Bai for a moment, and said with a straight face: "Your Highness has grown a lot taller, and it is not in vain that Lord Lan talks about you every day." ”

Zhu Bai grinned: "It's not." ”

Zhu Biao knew that Mu Ying was uncomfortable in the palace, so he glanced at Zhu Bai.

Zhu Bai said: "Master Mu, I have good jerky over there, how about you and my eldest brother go to the official tooth bureau to sit down?" ”

Mu Ying hurriedly bowed his hand: "In this way, the minister will dare to disturb His Highness." ”

He has something to say to Zhu Biao, and it is not appropriate to go anywhere, but the official tooth bureau is quiet and safe.

------

The three of them returned to the Bureau.

Mu Ying first helped Zhu Bai to sit on the chair and solemnly bowed.

Zhu Bai sat still, only smiled and said, "Why did Master Mu suddenly salute." ”

According to his status, he is one product, Mu Ying is three products, and Mu Ying is not wrong to salute him.

By blood, he was the prince.

Speaking of favors, he secretly helped Mu Ying a lot.

So he can stand Mu Ying's worship.

Mu Ying looked solemn: "In the past two years, thanks to the support of His Royal Highness King Xiang, we have been able to fight so smoothly at the border pass." ”

The official tooth bureau has branches in various places, especially in the official tooth bureau near the border gate, where all kinds of merchants come and go every day, from south to north, and from all nationalities.

Therefore, all kinds of information, not only commercial intelligence, but also all kinds of gossip about different ethnic groups have also been sent to Zhu Bai in a steady stream.

The Mongols thought they were covering themselves well, but in fact they asked people to buy herbs, grain, and cloth in disguise, revealing their location, numbers, and situation.

Mu Ying and Lan Yu fought a war, three points relied on luck, three points relied on strength, and four points relied on Zhu Bai's information and material support.

Zhu Biao didn't know it at all, and was very surprised to see that Mu Ying was so respectful to Zhu Bai.

Zhu Bai didn't shirk, only smiled and nodded: "Master Mu doesn't have to be polite, if this king has something to ask you in the future, don't shirk." ”

Who is Mu Ying? The king of southern Yunnan! His descendants will guard Yunnan for hundreds of years for the Ming Dynasty.

The real sky is high and the emperor is far away.

The important ministers that the emperors of the Ming Dynasty relied on.

As long as he has a good relationship with Mu Ying, it will not work at that time, and he can still go to Yunnan to seek refuge in Mu Ying.

Mu Ying said: "Your Highness said with a smile, as long as Mu Ying can do something, she will never dare to refuse." ”

This sentence sounds very sincere, but there is actually a mystery hidden in it.

"What can be done", betraying Lao Zhu and Zhu Biao belongs to what he can't do.

Zhu Bai secretly sighed: Sure enough, he is the one who can survive the killing of Lao Zhu. Not leaking, reasonable and responsible.

He called for tea to be served, and gave them the room with great interest, and went down to the hall to see the others do business.

Mu Ying watched Zhu Bai's back go away from the window, and sighed lightly: "This kid is really good at observing people's hearts......"

Zhu Biao said: "Not really. People say that Bigan is a seven-trick exquisite heart, I think this kid is afraid that he has 800 hearts and eyes, tsk, he is really full of heart eyes. ”

Rao is Mu Ying couldn't help but smile when she was serious.

------

Zhu Bai went to the trading hall for a turn, and saw that Mu Ying and they hadn't finished talking yet, and it was not easy to go up or leave, so he could only punch Xie Cheng in the courtyard downstairs.

I felt hungry after the fight.

It's a hassle to not be able to walk away......

The calculation is also in time.

Then he smelled the smell of meat, which was the best pork belly with skin and star anise and cinnamon simmered over a slow fire, and it was about to come out of the pot.

I don't know if I don't know it, but when I smell it, I feel more and more that my chest is close to my back.

He seemed to be hooked by a small hand, and involuntarily followed the aroma, and then he saw Nannan sitting by the small stove in the firewood room with his chin propped up.

A small iron pot in front of her was bubbling "gurgling".

The aroma wafted out of the iron pot, and winter melon was added, and the stew was full of crystal.

It's so tempting.

In fact, it would be more fragrant if potatoes were added, but unfortunately potatoes had not yet been introduced to China at this time.

Zhu Bai smacked his lips.

Nan Nan heard the voice and turned around, and saw Zhu Bai immediately standing up crampedly, and whispered, "Your Highness, this is the pot and meat that I bought with my own money." ”

Zhu Bai pretended to be calm and took out the prince's shelf: "Don't be nervous. The king has only come to inspect it. ”

Nan Nan hurriedly moved a stool over and sat down for Zhu Bai: "Your Highness, please take a seat." ”

Zhu Bai sat down by the stove with a solemn face: "You can sit too, you don't have to be restrained." ”

Then as soon as his eyes saw the pot of meat, he was so excited that tears flowed out of his mouth uncontrollably.

He swallowed desperately, for fear that he would show his greed and be discovered by the girl.

Then she asked, "Does Your Highness want to taste it?" I'm not a very good cook, I just stew, boil and steam. ”

Zhu Bai was secretly ecstatic and coughed dryly: "Since you are so enthusiastic, this king will reluctantly try it." ”

Then she took a rice bowl and gave him most of the bowl.

Zhu Bai took a bite elegantly, and then the aroma of meat immediately filled his mouth.

Fat meat is not greasy, lean meat is not firewood.

The restaurants in Yingtiancheng and the chefs in the palace all make braised pork according to the methods of Jiangnan or Anhui.

He always felt that the taste was on the sweet side.

This bowl of braised pork turned out to be very suitable for his taste.

Zhu Bai told himself not to gobble up like a starving ghost, and at the same time ate a bowl of meat to the bottom.

Whew, it's so exciting, it's been a long time since I've eaten such delicious meat!

He felt hot all over his body, and then wiped his forehead, his hands covered with sweat.

Fugui and they were dumbfounded, and only then did they come back to their senses.

Fugui coughed lightly.

This pot of meat is definitely a lunch and dinner for Nannan.

Zhu Bai wiped out half of the pot at once, and Nan Nan was going hungry at night.

Nan Nan smiled: "It's rare for His Highness to appreciate his face." ”

"The craftsmanship is okay, remember to do it often when you have time." Zhu Bai's face flushed slightly, and he said to Fugui, "Go to Benwang's shop and get a few dishes to deliver." This king does not take advantage of others. ”

Nan Nan hurriedly waved his hand: "No, no, no, no need." I eat and live here, if I say that I take advantage, I take advantage of His Highness. It's nothing. ”

Zhu Bai didn't say anything, got up and went out.

He beckoned to Fangchang, who was guarding outside.

The tooth chief hurriedly came over and asked, "Your Highness, what are your orders?" ”

Zhu Bai said: "From this month onwards, give her a salary increase. ”

Tooth Grow: "Ah...... The villain only gave her a rise a few days ago, and now it's two taels of silver a month. ”

Zhu Bai coughed dryly: "Give her five taels of silver every month." You can't ask people outside to say that the king is stingy and treats his subordinates harshly. ”
