Great Emperor's Grandson of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 40 040 Free labor delivered to your door (Second update! There will be another update later!)

"[Hua Shou]? When you are free tomorrow, ask Jacob to help me look for it."

"The old boy should have tasted the benefits of power by now."

"He will definitely not miss such a God-given opportunity."

After finding a way to save Queen Ma, Zhu Congxin's expression became much brighter again.

Next, a person picked up the pile of paper and pens and started tinkering in an open space.

As for Ma He, he went to the back kitchen of Leng Gong again.

Although Zhu Congxin repeatedly said that he did not need to eat late at night, he was already hungry and scared, but after all he could not let go of the free dinner.

And not long after he left, the commander of the Jin Yiwei, Mao Xiang, finally walked into the courtyard worriedly.

"Slave Mao Xiang, please pay homage to His Highness the Young Emperor!"

Before he walked in, he just bowed and saluted.

The etiquette is so thorough, I am afraid that even when meeting some high-ranking princes, it is no more than this.

"Your Majesty, Commander, you are so polite! This boy is just a guilty person now, but he cannot afford such a great gift from Commander! I wonder why Commander is here?"

Facing such a great gift, Zhu Congxin was naturally confused. She immediately got up from the ground and asked doubtfully.

However, upon hearing this question, Mao Xiang suddenly looked at the ground with flashing eyes.

"Your Highness, please forgive me for my poor eyesight, but can I ask what these paintings are about? They look very interesting. Are they the chess records you learned from your teacher?" He walked towards the pile. He asked curiously on the white paper filled with grids.

This undoubtedly made Zhu Congxin even more confused.

"It should be regarded as something? Could it be that the Commander is also interested in these children's gadgets?"

He thought for a moment with a suspicious look on his face and continued to ask doubtfully.

Knowing that the topic he was looking for was a bit blunt, Mao Xiang also smiled awkwardly.

But then, he continued to ask shamelessly: "Then, your highness, can you tell me how to play these chess records?"

???

This time, Zhu Congxin was silent for three breaths.

He wanted to say no.

But after thinking carefully for a moment, an even older idea suddenly came into his eyes.

"Yes, yes, but I haven't finished it yet. If you are really busy, why not help me get a few pieces of wood first! They should be as big as this!"

hum!

Aren’t you unwilling to say anything?
Then let's see who can spend more than whom!
When you finish making the chess pieces, we'll let you make the chairs!
And then the table!

See how long you can last!
However, just when Zhu Congxin couldn't help showing a mean smile, Mao Xiang's next reaction once again confused him.

"The slave obeys!"

This guy actually accepted Zhu Congxin's instructions willingly.

And before going to work, he actually took off his flying fish robe and placed it on the spot where Zhu Congxin had just lay down.

???

Zhu Congxin no longer knew what to say.

But soon, a flash of light suddenly flashed through his mind.

[Hiss, does he think that this can bring us closer and get something out of me? 】

[Could it be that Grandpa Huang has put pressure on him again recently?Let him go all out to track down the whereabouts of my teacher? 】

[Isn’t this too pitiful? 】

This was the only possibility he could think of.

And the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this was the case.Otherwise, how could Mao Xiang, a dignified commander of Jinyiwei, come to him to be a dog for no reason?
"Remember to polish it smooth for me. I'll need to ink it later."

But pity is pity. Faced with a free labor, Zhu Congxin still had no intention of letting it go.

"Why don't we go over and help too?"

The far wall.

Looking at the two busy people below, a guard couldn't help but asked anxiously.

This is indeed a necessary concern.

Because many years ago, they had actually encountered similar things.

To put it bluntly, it is actually a small leader who did not go to help when he was ordered to do something.

This kind of thing may be small or big!
The key depends on whether the person involved is generous.

But the problem is that in this kind of bet that concerns the future, how can people like them who live at the bottom of the palace afford to lose?
However, in the face of this brother's question, after thinking for a while, the leader directly gave a negative answer: "No more. Don't you see the smile on the Commander's face? We are now In the past, it would only disturb the commander’s interest.”

"But what if the Commander is not really happy?"

The man was slightly startled, his face still full of anxiety.

But as soon as he finished speaking, a black thing suddenly slipped from Mao Xiang's waist and fell into a pile of grass.

Mao Xiang, on the other hand, still seemed to be completely unaware.

"Did you see it? This is the commander's game."

"From now on, we just have to keep an eye on this token."

Looking at this scene, the leader of the inner guard smiled proudly.

The inner guard from before also nodded with fear on his face.

Because they all know very well that no matter what the circumstances, it is impossible for Mao Xiang, the commander of the Jinyiwei, to lose his token!

Soon, Ma He returned to the yard after receiving dinner.

"Ma He, the young eunuch on duty at Xihe Hall, pays homage to the commander!"

Seeing Mao Xiang who arrived unexpectedly, Ma He quickly put down the box and gave a big gift.

Mao Xiang didn't put on any airs. After smiling slightly, he made a gesture for him to sit up and stand up.

However, just when Ma He was about to send the lunch box in his hand into the house, Zhu Congxin suddenly stopped him.

"Oh! Ma He! Why didn't you call me when you came back from dinner? Come on, come on! I'm almost starving to death!"

As he spoke, he secretly gave Ma He a wink.

At first, Ma He didn't understand the meaning.

But as Zhu Congxin hinted again and again, he finally understood it immediately.

"Uh-huh. Master, forgive me! It's the slave's fault! I'll serve it to you right now."

He quickly made a panicked look and said quickly.

Immediately, he looked at Mao Xiang who was not far away with an embarrassed look: "Well, Commander, do you want to eat together? From the look of you, you probably haven't had dinner yet, right?"

This actually means seeing off guests.

As a human being among the best, how could Mao Xiang not understand the truth?
【It's quite clever!He actually understood his master's meaning just by looking at him!have a future! 】

He secretly said with emotion.

And then, he made the same awkward look, and then replied: "After what you said, I am indeed a little hungry."

However, after saying this, he did not say goodbye. Instead, he apologized again and turned to Zhu Congxin again: "But after leaving, Mao probably has one more important thing to do."
