Great Emperor's Grandson of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 62 Banquet, Dragon Ball, Making Money, Relationship

On the other side, as curfew time approaches.

One after another, extremely luxurious carriages slowly stopped at the entrance of Xihua Gate (the west gate of the Outer Palace).

If Zhu Gui were here, he would have discovered that the leader was actually the eleventh prince who had just moved from [Outer Imperial City] to Taiping Street: Zhu Chun.

After that, those who got off their respective carriages were: King of Tan Zhu Zi, King of Lu Zhu Tan, and King of Xiang Zhu Bai.

Of course, some wealthy businessmen are also indispensable.

The reason why they were sitting in the same car together was because non-royal members were not allowed to wander around at will after the curfew.

"Brother Eleven. I heard that you are very familiar with Zhu Congxin? Do you know what kind of medicine he sells in this gourd?"

While all the merchants were thanking each other for their kindness, the oldest prince present, Prince Tan Zhu Zi, asked with twinkling eyes while playing with the glazed orb in his hand.

That was the "Dragon Ball" that Zhu Congxin specially asked Jacob to cast.

Because Tan King Zhu Zi is the eighth son of Zhu Yuanzhang, there are a total of eight "golden" five-pointed stars the size of rice grains in his dragon beads.

On the hand of the eleventh prince Zhu Chun, there is only a "silver" star the size of a dragon's eye.

"You have to ask Mr. Jacobs. It is said that he also funded this banquet. I don't know if it is true."

Looking at the dragon ball in Zhu Zi's hand with some envy, Zhu Chun said with flashing eyes.

And just as he finished speaking, Jacob quickly walked away from a middle-aged man and went straight to the princes.

"Princes, you don't have to worry too much. The little emperor grandson said that the reason why I am hosting a banquet for you today is actually just to keep in touch with the elders and play some games. We can just treat it as normal communication. "

He explained with a chuckle.

Immediately, he arrived at the entrance gate with ease, letting the guards search his body, and strode towards the main hall facing the city gate.

"Dear Mr. Jacobs! What you are wearing today is so handsome!"

At this time, Zhu Congxin had been waiting at the entrance of Xihe Hall for a long time.

When he saw everyone finally coming in, he immediately smiled.

"Thank you, little grandson! This is a little thought I brought to the princess. I heard that she would return to Xi'an soon, so I ordered someone to make this glazed jade lamp overnight! Look! , and there are words on it. It is "Liangzhou Ci" written by Wang Han in the Tang Dynasty!"

Faced with such courtesy, Jacob was naturally flattered, and quickly took a box from his entourage and delivered it over.

Seeing the luminous glass lamp revealed in the box, Zhu Zi and others stared straight into their eyes.

However, Zhu Congxin just nodded lightly and handed it to Ma He: "Gifts are small things. The more important thing is money. If I asked you to bring them, you should have brought them, right? Those What do people say?”

"Don't worry! Those few people are all far-sighted people. They have already prepared a large amount of cash, and they will definitely be able to satisfy all the princes. They don't even need any promises. They just ask, Your Highness, that you can help them maintain this level. A network of connections can be regarded as an insurance policy in times of emergency." Jacob replied flatteringly immediately.

This is the ultimate purpose of Zhu Congxin's hosting of this banquet.

To put it bluntly, I just want to make money.

So that I can save some daily expenses and travel expenses for Guanyin Nu.

As for why he roped in those princes who had not yet become feudal lords, it was just to create a scene for himself.

Of course, Zhu Zi and others are not at a loss either.

Because in the next few hours, they will feel a joy that they have never experienced before!

"Uncles! You are welcome to come here. My nephew, this place is really full of glory! Come! Let's go to the courtyard! There are also those business leaders who have come by invitation. Today we will not talk about business or political affairs. Just enjoy life!"

After nodding, Zhu Congxin finally faced the people behind him. "So you are Zhu Congxin! You can understand so many things at such a young age. You really live up to your reputation as a genius! Did you come up with this dragon ball? Have you ever given it to your eldest brother and third brother?"

Seeing that Zhu Congxin was articulate and knowledgeable, Zhu Zi was the first to express his surprise and praise.

"This is the biggest prize today."

"Hey! These two are the glazed dragon beads specially refined by the Jacob Glazed Workshop for the emperor and the prince's uncle."

"The emperor's grandfather is a five-clawed golden dragon that emerged from a broken bead. But the prince's uncle is still conceived in a glazed world."

"Today we will bet on Ye Zixi! Whoever wins the most money will be qualified to donate these two treasures!"

Zhu Congxin grinned.

Afterwards, Su He and Su Jianyi were ordered to bring two beads the size of a human head.

One of them is a dragon disk orb, and the other one is a dragon hidden in the bead.

Although due to technological limitations, the golden dragon in the bead is not as perfect as the golden dragon outside.

But in the face of such a profound treasure, how can everyone still be in a picky mood?

"My nephew! Are you sure you are not joking? Do you really want to bet with this kind of treasure? Do you know what these two things mean?"

Zhu Zi immediately blushed with excitement.

Because compared to Zhu Chun, their family's foundation is really too thin.

If he can please his father and the prince because of this, it will definitely be beneficial to him without any harm!
But just when everyone's blood boiled with enthusiasm, there was such a person who suddenly asked a very disturbing question.

"What if we lose?"

That is the tenth prince Zhu Tan.

The only ridiculous prince in history who died after taking gold and stone medicine!
It is also the prototype of the tomb owner of many tomb robbing themes in later generations.

"Stupid! Do you think nephew Congxin will give this opportunity to those merchants? This is a clear plan to give us money! Can't you even see this?"

Hearing this, before Zhu Congxin could speak, Zhu Zi immediately scolded him.

However, in order not to destroy the harmonious atmosphere present, he did not dare to completely let go of his voice.

But
Give us money?

Those merchants?

There is such a good thing in this world?
What are they trying to figure out?

Zhu Zi still couldn't figure it out.

In fact, Zhu Bai, who was following the crowd, was a little confused.

Because in their perception, they seem to have nothing worth "selling" at all.

It's like when you go to buy something and the seller asks for your contact information.

Many times, what people care about is actually just a "relationship" or a "bridge" that can "contact" you.

But you yourself have never regarded it as a kind of "real money" that can be cashed.
