Daming Greedy Wolf Star

Chapter 112
"Mom, isn't dad coming back for dinner today?"

At the dinner table in Chunhe Palace, Zhu Zhanji was looking at his mother curiously.

"Your father has something to do, so you should have a good meal." The princess patted her son on the head and said with a kind smile.

"Mom, go bring some food to your father. You eat slowly. Ruowei, keep an eye on him."

"Yes." Sun Ruowei quickly stood up and saluted.

The Crown Princess smiled, picked up the food box and left.

She doesn't like Sun Ruowei very much, because she always feels that this girl is too scheming.

But there was nothing she could do. This was recommended by her mother, Mrs. Peng Chengbo, and she was sent to the palace. The old man also agreed, so naturally she couldn't say much.

Chunhe Palace.

There was a curfew, Jin Youzi and others had already gone back, and Xie Jin was also working on compiling the Yongle Grand Ceremony. Even if there was no curfew, he would not be able to stay in the palace for a long time.

Tuk Tuk Tuk.

Even though the door was open, the Crown Princess knocked on the door first and walked in after seeing her husband raise his head.

"Eat something..." The Crown Princess took out the meals she brought and placed them all on the table.

"Huh..." Zhu Gaochi breathed a long sigh of relief.

"What time is it?"

"It's already half past midnight." The princess handed the chopsticks to her husband, and then cleared up the messy table.

"Alas..." After looking at the exquisite dishes, Zhu Gaochi had no appetite.

"Eat as much as you can." Hearing the sigh, the princess knew what her husband was thinking.

"I know you don't have much appetite. It's true that I usually dislike you for being fat, but haven't you been busy until midnight these past two days? You still have to eat."

"Be busy, be busy, be worried, be sad, but you still have to eat."

"Tell me, dad, what do you think?" Zhu Gaochi sighed, picked up the bowl and started eating.

"I don't know what the old man is thinking." The princess was sorting out the messy memorials and analyzing them for her husband.

"But what I know is that no matter what you think, it's useless, the old man is the one who ultimately makes the decision."

"On this matter, the more you say, the more mistakes you make, and the less you say, the less mistakes you make. As long as the old man doesn't ask you, then you are right if you don't say anything."

"What if the old man asks?" With just a few words, the fog in Zhu Gaochi's heart slowly dissipated, but he did not stop questioning.

"If the old man asks, and I don't have a countermeasure, wouldn't that be worse?"

"Not necessarily." The crown princess shook her head, her attention was still on the messy desktop.

"From my point of view, the old man probably wouldn't ask you, because if he did, it would cheer up the civil servants and make them feel that the final situation of King Han is up to you."

"Obviously, the old man will not let this happen, so you don't have to worry."

"Taking a step back, even if the old man asks you, just don't tell me. It won't necessarily be worse."

Zhu Gaochi nodded thoughtfully.

-

Yunnan, Mengmeng Division.

This is one of the major tea-producing areas in Yunnan and the Lincang Tea Area in later generations.

Even in the Ming Dynasty, Pu'er tea was considered a relatively old tea species. There was a history of cultivating Pu'er tea here as early as the Tang Dynasty. (The author is not from Yunnan, nor is he a Pu'er tea lover. If anyone knows, please correct me.)
The main reason why I chose this place is because the Pu'er production area and Xishuangbanna production area are both in the south of Yunnan, and the Lincang production area is relatively close.

"Hmm...Sister, how do you sell this cloth?" Zhu Zhanhe was walking in a market in Mengmensi holding a large pile of fruits with one in his mouth.

He wanted to come to Yunnan in his previous life, but due to the pressure of life and the burden of mortgage and car payments, he had no time to travel.

For him, who loves succulents, Yunnan is paradise. Now he finally came here. Although it was hundreds of years ago, how could he not take a good stroll?
"It's a bit expensive..." Zhu Zhanhe squatted down with interest and began to bargain with the eldest sister of the cloth stall.

In fact, he did not need this piece of cotton cloth. For him, the prince of Han Dynasty, the sewn "kapok cloth" was really rough. He had plenty of good cloth at home.

In addition, the climate in Yunnan is suitable. Even in summer, the average temperature is only about 16 to 24 degrees, so he only needs a thin quilt at night, which he doesn't really need.

Just pure enjoyment.

"Well..." After some bargaining, Zhu Zhanhe finally won the piece of cloth for twelve cents.

A piece of cloth, not a piece of cloth. The price was obviously very expensive. He was regarded as being taken advantage of, but he didn't care.

"Well, my sister said that purple is very attractive. This should be suitable for my mother. Others may not be able to hold it."

Throwing the cloth to Zhu Ling, Zhu Zhanhe picked up the fruit he had just placed on the ground and continued walking towards the depths of the market.

"His Royal Highness! Your Royal Highness!"

A hurried shout made the market quiet down from point to point, and everyone looked towards the person who made the sound.

"His Royal Highness!" Sun Meng hurriedly rushed to Zhu Zhanhe. Although he was out of breath, he still knelt down to salute.

It wasn't a big deal at first, but when Sun Meng did this, everyone in the market knelt on the ground.

There are actually many ethnic minorities in Yunnan, so it stands to reason that the degree of stickiness and respect for the imperial court would not be as high as it is now, when they see a prince of the Han Dynasty, they will kneel down and salute so neatly.

This is thanks to the Mu family.

The Mu family has been in Yunnan for so many years, not to mention managing Yunnan in an orderly manner, but it is not far behind. That's why this scene happened.

But this is Meng Miansi, which is a major tea-producing area. The Mu family keeps a close eye on it. If the place is more remote, it's hard to say what the officialdom will be like.

But as far as Zhu Zhanhe's feeling is concerned, it is at least much better than the areas around Yangzhou, Songjiang and Hangzhou Prefecture.

"You can't say anything without saying anything!" Zhu Zhanhe complained impatiently.

He came out just to hide from Qingjing. He knew that since the old man had his mind set on him, he would definitely not be able to escape in the end, but he couldn't seem too worthless.

If he goes as soon as the old man asks, then he will be no different than when he was in Yingtian Mansion, so why bother to join the feudal clan?
He must have enough rights, and then impress or convince the Mu family through the Jiaozhi incident, so that he can develop in Yunnan.

He cannot call the Mu family under his command. From now on in Yunnan, the Mu family will be the old man's spies.

"His Royal Highness, the commander-in-chief has sent a message asking you to return home as soon as possible to discuss important matters."

Sun Meng also had a bitter look on his face. This was the third time he came to see Zhu Zhanhe. He didn't even meet him the first two times and was rejected.

The commander-in-chief Sun Meng mentioned was Mu Ang.

"No!" Zhu Zhanhe turned his head and prepared to leave.

"I told my father that I want to inspect the tea area in Yunnan. This year is the tea-horse trade fair every three years. I have to finalize this matter as soon as possible!"

"His Royal Highness!" Seeing Zhu Zhanhe about to leave, Sun Meng quickly got up and chased after him, and whispered into Zhu Zhanhe's ear.

"This time is different, there is a purpose."

"Huh?" Zhu Zhanhe raised his eyebrows.

Sun Meng glanced around, and when he saw that there were many people around, he moved closer and said in a low voice: "He's from Beijing. It's [-] miles away, expedited!"
