Great Emperor's Grandson of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 49 049 The rain in June, the leaf drama is temporarily stranded

"Brother! Are you crazy? That's 1000 taels! It's hard to get it back!"

Zhu Gui hurriedly persuaded in a low voice.

At this moment, there are only less than two months left before Queen Ma's birthday.

That was a big event that Zhu Yuanzhang specially decided to celebrate Empress Ma!

If they couldn't come up with decent gifts by then, he simply couldn't imagine what would happen to them.

"I make my own claims."

Unfortunately, Zhu Chun had no explanation at all.

After saying a few words, he took out a large stack of banknotes from his arms and handed them to Su He.

At this moment, Ming Dynasty's treasure banknotes have not completely depreciated.

Especially in Kyoto, people are still accustomed to using treasure notes instead of silver for many business activities.

"I'm afraid I have to ask my master about the meeting. I will give you an accurate answer tomorrow at the latest."

After taking the treasure note, Su He suppressed the joy in his heart and said cautiously.

And then, he hurriedly said goodbye to all the princes, took away the "Mencius" and left the fifteenth prince's mansion.

It was as if they were afraid that these masters would regret it.

When he returned to the clan's mansion, Zhu Congxin was already preparing for dinner.

This can be considered an unexpected gain today.

After learning that Zhu Congxin had been eating leftovers for six days, Queen Ma finally couldn't help but take action and had a large amount of meat and fruits delivered.

"Has the matter been done? What did the two idiots say? Are you planning to lose money and avoid disaster? Or are you going to fight to the death with us?"

Seeing Su He, Zhu Congxin immediately asked from a distance.

Ma He, on the other hand, quickly brought him a bowl of rice porridge.

"King Wei is not the only one there, it is His Highness the King of Shu who paid for the peace. He gave me 1000 taels and wanted to meet you face to face."

Su He excitedly took out his treasure banknotes and reported the report while gulping down the rice porridge in front of him.

"King of Shu Zhu Chun? This is a bit beyond my expectation."

"But it doesn't matter. The money has been obtained anyway. I don't care whether he is the King of Wei or the King of Shu."

"Su He! You'll have to work harder later and send him the beast-fighting chess set."

"As for the meeting, we can wait until Grandma Huang's birthday!"

After taking the treasure note, Zhu Congxin was surprised at first, and then smiled broadly.

He didn't take Zhu Chun seriously.

Because in his view, this is actually a communication bound by interests.

The reason why Zhu Chun wanted to meet him was simply because he wanted to continue to expand his own interests.

But how could he, Zhu Congxin, have the leisure to care about these things?

However, he might never have imagined that just when he sent Su He away and was enjoying his sumptuous dinner, Zhu Chun, who was already looking melancholy, suddenly faced an embarrassing situation. Call it an explosive turn of events!

Zhu Yuanzhang actually came to visit him!

And after saying some encouraging words, he actually spent two thousand to buy the beast-fighting chess set!

You know, that’s a full 2000 taels!
Normally, if he wanted to get such a huge sum of money, he would have to get at least three "Top A" ratings from the Imperial College no matter what.

This is not a feat that just anyone can accomplish easily!
At least so far, except for Prince Zhu Biao, there is no other person in the entire royal family who can do it.

[Father indeed remembers me!In order to make it easier for me to open the mansion, you actually supported me with such a large sum of money under such an excuse! 】

[It seems that from now on, I won’t have to be like the other brothers and keep reaching out to my parents’ family in a low voice! 】Thinking of this, he couldn't help being moved.

As for Zhu Congxin?

Who is that?
They are so unfamiliar!
He even suspected that his father's move was just to prevent him from having too much contact with Zhu Congxin.

And the more he thought about it, the more reasonable it became.

So in the end, he directly put Zhu Congxin at the top of the "least contactable" list.

On the other hand, after getting the Beast Fighting Chess, Zhu Yuanzhang's imperial study room is a completely different scene.

"Come on, come on! Xu Da! Guo Si! Li Shanchang!"

"We're in a good mood today, so I'll give you something interesting to play with!"

He actually invited his two brothers and Li Shanchang, a big enemy, to play beast fighting chess overnight.

Although at the beginning it was actually just to send a signal to the outside world that he was ready to re-activate Li Shanchang.

But as I played, I gradually became addicted to it.

Especially after Li Shanchang was slaughtered by him for a few rounds.

This is the first time he has defeated Li Shanchang in an honest chess game!
He was so excited that he couldn't even sleep for half the night.

In the next few days, he once again expanded the battle to the harem.

So it didn't take long for this kind of war chess game suitable for all ages to quickly become popular throughout Kyoto.

Zhu Chun, the king of Shu, earned his first pot of gold by selling fighting beast chess.

When all the princes and grandsons heard this, they were all filled with envy.

Only Zhu Congxin didn't seem to care about the money at all.

Since he won the bet with Zhu Yuanzhang, he has become his own prisoner with peace of mind.

In addition to raising chickens and feeding ducks every day, he also sows his own vegetable seeds throughout the clan's courtyard, as if he wants to turn this place into a farm.

Of course, besides working, board games are also essential.

But at this moment, they are no longer limited to playing the game of Beast Chess, but have started to study mahjong and poker.

Unfortunately, because wooden mahjong cards are easy to remember, Zhu Congxin ultimately shelved the plan to popularize mahjong.

In this way, time passes slowly by leisurely entertainment day after day.

In a blink of an eye, the heavy rain in June enveloped the entire Daming.

"It's been twelve days. Is there any news from Guanyin Nu?"

After putting down the memorial in his hand, Zhu Yuanzhang asked Mao Xiang who was not far away with an irritated look.

In fact, he was actually a little out of breath.

Because since the heavy rain began to fall, Queen Ma's health had become worse day by day.

Last night, there were even signs of fever.

Coupled with the flood warnings coming from various places, if it weren't for Zhu Congxin's piece of information, he would not have known how to survive this extremely dangerous period.

"Back to Your Majesty. According to the secret report sent from Yincheng the day before yesterday, by this time, the princess should have met the so-called Ying Ningsheng. However, this person seemed to be very dissatisfied with the death of Cheng Yibo, so he did not show up for the second time. He immediately agreed to Princess Wang’s request for medical treatment.”

As if sensing the master's irritability, Mao Xiang hurriedly lowered his head and replied in a gentle voice.

"Asshole! Liu Ji's death was the work of Hu Weiyong. This is a fact known to all the world! What is he so dissatisfied about? Does he still think that I killed Liu Ji?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was furious instantly.

But soon, for the sake of Empress Ma's condition, he finally suppressed the anger in his heart: "What about the Imperial Hospital? What do the imperial doctors have to say about this Liu Boren?"
