Chapter 193 Xu Miaojin’s Troubles
At this time, Xu Miaojin's life was miserable.

As the little princess of Wei Guogong Xu Da, she was born with rich clothes and fine food. Although she was not arrogant, she was still used to spending money.

So when she came out this time, although she carried more than 100 taels of silver with her, she also deliberately hid it in her purse and hung it up in the lining of her clothes to prevent accidental loss.

But the problem is that although the money was not lost, it was spent too fast, just like running water.

Xu Miaojin also didn't expect that the prices outside were so expensive.
She just wants to eat stuttering meat, why does she need so much money?
In fact, she has never encountered a black shop. The main reason is that this girl is a martial arts practitioner. Although she is petite and inconspicuous, she actually has a big appetite.

A meal costs an elbow. Isn’t that expensive?

So in the past 20 days, she had walked from Yingtian to Nanchang, but because she ran out of money, she was trapped here.

Moreover, she had not eaten for a whole day, and she even sat on the street corner with her legs crossed all night last night.

After all, she was a girl. She went out alone. Even if she had prepared to dress up as a man, she would not dare to fall asleep alone on the street.

If something unexpected happened, there would be no place to cry.

Originally, she wanted to take a rest on the street corner during the day when there were many people.

As a result, I heard the commotion outside. Judging from Zhu Chu's appearance, he must be a noble son from a wealthy family, so he mustered up the courage to come out and give it a try.

Zhu Xi lowered his head and looked at the girl in front of him.

Okay, he could tell at a glance, sister, where is your Adam's apple?And the sound is so clear and crisp, what’s wrong with it?

Poor scholar?
Whose poor scholar's voice is as clear and beautiful as an oriole?
"What? Are you encountering difficulties?" Zhu Zhen didn't point it out, pretending not to know, and asked: "How much do you want?"

Xu Miaojin raised her head in surprise, her beautiful big eyes seemed to be shining.

Zhu Chu couldn't help but his eyes lit up. He was also used to seeing beautiful women. Not only was his wife Muqiu beautiful and fragrant, he was in Yunnan. What kind of ethnic girl had he not seen before?
It's not his fault. If he were that kind of person, he wouldn't bring the same thing every night.

What's more, he relied on strong force and iron-blooded tactics to pacify Yunnan along the way, which is equivalent to saying that he is the winner, and all the people of Yunnan are his spoils.

He can do whatever he wants.

Of course he wouldn't do that.

But the girl in front of her, disguised as a man, seemed to be able to speak with her eyes alone. They were black and shiny, without a trace of color in her eyes. They were pure and clear, as clean as if they were looking at spring water.

Xu Miaojin tilted her head and looked at Zhu Ming with a frown, looking confused again.

"What?" Zhu Zhen came to his senses and asked Xu Miaojin: "Don't you want to borrow some money?"

Xu Miaojin nodded and said, "But how should I repay you in the future?"

Zhu Zhen couldn't help laughing. This girl was really innocent and cute. It turned out that she was worried about this. He immediately said: "Meeting means being destined. In this day and age, I am afraid that there may not be any movement between the two neighboring villages." , many people have never left the village in their lives."

This is true. Even in modern times, many elderly people have never left the place where they were born. Not to mention the province, it is good to be able to leave the village and go to the town to catch the market.

What's more, it's the Ming Dynasty today.

"The world is so big. It's not easy to meet once. Why care about so many things? If we are destined to meet each other, we will come thousands of miles away, but if we are not, it is difficult to meet." Zhu Chu said while turning to Wang Fu and said: "Wang Fu, take 100 taels." The money is given to this little brother."

He knew that Xu Miaojin didn't want to be recognized as a daughter, so he followed the good example and called him little brother.

And he was too generous with his moves, one shot cost 100 taels.

Even the dignified commander of the Jinyi Guards at the side, Jiang Wei, was shocked.

Thinking about how much talent he has, he is worthy of being His Highness, and he is generous in his dealings.

By the way, this little brother is actually a girl, right?

As expected of the commander of the Jin Yiwei, Jiang Wei's eyes were very vicious, and he could tell at a glance that Xu Miaojin was actually a man disguised as a woman.

After all, this was Xu Miaojin's first time traveling in this way, and he was not a veteran of the martial arts world. How could he achieve such a flawless disguise, he would just deceive ordinary people.

Jiang Wei was still aware of it, and felt that this girl looked familiar. Unfortunately, the dust from the journey had covered her original appearance.

Could it be which prisoner escaped later?After all, there was a blue jade case recently, and many people were involved.

Thinking of this, Jiang Wei began to care about it and winked at several of his subordinates.

Zhu Ming suddenly turned his head, squinted at Jiang Yu, and said slowly: "Xiao Jiang, how about you kneel down?"

"Ah? This, what did you say? Your Majesty, Master, I did not make any mistakes." Jiang Wei was so aggrieved that he almost cried. Why did he kneel down for no reason?
Zhu Xi just shook his head at him.

Jiang Wei immediately understood and quietly signaled to his men to disperse.

Although Zhu Qi didn't know what Jin Yiwei's little movements meant, he was not stupid. He guessed something from the way Jiang Wei suddenly stared at Xu Miaojin.

What if this is Lan Yu's daughter or family member?Even if you are just implicated, it is a capital crime.

Forget it, since I said that meeting her means being destined, then just help her.

At this time, Wang Fu had already taken out several ingots of gold ingots and handed them to Zhu Zhen.

Zhu Zhen rolled his eyes at him and asked you to give it to her. What are you doing to me?

After changing hands, Zhu Chu handed the ingot to Xu Miaojin and said, "Here."

Xu Miaojin took the silver ingot in a daze, but she seemed to be thinking about something and didn't even say thank you.

Zhu Ming just smiled and shook his head, turned around casually, and walked to the other side with Wang Fu and Jiang Gu, accompanied by countless guards around him.

Just a moment after Zhu Chu left, a group of people suddenly appeared on the street and immediately surrounded Xu Miaojin.

Good guy, you are a 'little beggar' holding so many shining silver ingots in your hands. Isn't this tempting us to commit a crime?
These little gangsters looked at each other and without hesitation, they reached out to grab it.

But suddenly, Xu Miaojin grabbed the silver and threw it out with a fierce fist.

With a 'bang', one of the unlucky guys was not only knocked away by her seemingly small, but actually powerful and heavy fist, he even opened his mouth and spat out his bloody teeth all over the floor.

Xu Miaojin's sudden outburst shocked everyone.

But Xu Miaojin didn't intend to end it. He stretched out his hand and pulled the hem of his green shirt, raised his leg and kicked him out.

Although she has no weapons in her hands, she is the daughter of Wei Guogong Xu Da. She has obtained the true inheritance of Wei Guogong and has practiced martial arts for many years since she was a child. How can these street gangsters resist?

In just a moment, Xu Miaojin defeated these guys.

"Get out," Xu Miaojin's face was as frosty as she looked coldly at the gangsters who fell to the ground, then turned and left.

The gangsters were shocked, Master, it’s us who should get out, not you.

Xu Miaojin couldn't care less about them. She was holding the silver in her little hands, so strong that she almost held several silver ingots together.

Fortunately, these ingots are all solid, so they only have her fingerprints on them.

"Are there really such kind people in the world?" Xu Miaojin secretly exclaimed.

Thinking of her as Wei Guogong's daughter, in a hurry, she could only get more than 100 taels for expenses, and it was all scattered silver.

Zhu Lingke was kind enough and gave him five pieces of gold, each worth 20 taels of silver.

Even Xu Miaojin had doubts. Could it be Guanyin?Who is this rich young master?

While feeling surprised and curious, Xu Miaojin entered a nearby restaurant.

"Hey, hey, hey, where are you begging for food? If you want to eat, go to the back door, and it's not lunch yet. It's really unlucky." The restaurant waiter blocked Xu Miaojin and was about to drive away.

Xu Miaojin snorted coldly, opened her hand to reveal the money, and shouted: "Open your dog eyes, does he seem to be a poor man?"

Miss, you were hungry all day yesterday.

The guy didn't dare to stop him, so he quickly let Xu Miaojin in.

Xu Miaojin occupied a large table, slapped a piece of silver on the table, and shouted: "There is a fine banquet, and I will serve all the big fish and meat."

She was really hungry, probably for the first time since she was born.

Even if I made a mistake when I was a child, the most I could do was to be put in solitary confinement, grounded, or punished to kneel down, but I would not be denied food.

I was really hungry this time, and by the time the waiter started bringing the food one by one, the next dish would often be served and the previous dish would have already bottomed out.

The man was secretly surprised, is this the reincarnation of a starving ghost?There was no place for a fine banquet, and the chef couldn't even cook as fast as she could eat.

After eating three large bowls of rice in a row, as well as several plates of meat and vegetables, Xu Miaojin finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"I almost starved to death," Xu Miaojin muttered softly, her cheeks feeling a little hot, but fortunately there was dust covering her face so she couldn't see it.After picking up the tea cup and taking a sip of tea, Xu Miaojin fell into deep thought again.

"It's 'if we are destined to come thousands of miles to meet each other, but if we are not destined to meet each other, we will never meet'?" Xu Miaojin's eyes lit up and her eyebrows widened.

It turned out that she had been thinking about the origin of Zhu Xi's saying, "If you are destined to meet someone thousands of miles away, you will never meet again if you are not destined to meet."

But after thinking hard for a long time, I realized that Zhu Chu might have used the wrong word.

Xu Miaojin suddenly couldn't laugh or cry.

This is a sentence from "Zhang Xie Zhuangyuan" and was also included in the Yongle Dadian.

As a talented woman, Xu Miaojin actually saw it.

Because this is a Southern Opera work from the Song Dynasty, we don’t even know who produced it.

Of course, Shi Naian also borrowed it in Water Margin, and it was spoken by Song Jiang.

"Does meeting someone mean they are destined to meet each other?" Xu Miaojin supported her chin with her hands and propped her elbows on the table. For some reason, she suddenly became a little crazy.

Looking back now, this noble young master is so noble. Even if Xu Miaojin is the daughter of Wei Guogong, he is still a bit shocked.

Today's Zhu Chu, although he is not eight feet tall, is still 1.8 meters tall. He has a strong figure and looks powerful at first glance. He should be a martial artist.

What's more, his thick eyebrows, big eyes, sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes, and his clear facial features full of masculinity can be said to be an extraordinary and majestic demeanor.

"If Zhu Chu looks like this, I can recognize him," Xu Miaojin gritted his teeth.

But she knew that Zhu Zhen was one year younger than her. He was probably only fourteen or fifteen years old this year, right?

No matter how you think about it, he can't be so handsome.

Xu Miaojin couldn't help but sigh secretly and called the waiter to come over and settle the bill.

"Sir, it's a total of ten taels of silver," the waiter no longer dared to neglect.

"What? Ten taels of silver?" Xu Miaojin yelled, saying why is it so expensive to eat out?Are you a black shop?

But the waiter felt aggrieved. Today is the era of small farmers, and meat is inherently valuable. You don’t even think about how much meat you eat. Food is a trivial matter.

But if you don't eat in a restaurant, you won't need so much. Even in places where prices are not high, ten taels of silver is enough to buy a pig.

The problem is that this is a restaurant, and we certainly can't do business at that price. A pig costs ten taels of silver, but if it is split into delicious dishes, the pig will have to be sold for 100 taels of silver.

Otherwise, would we still be able to work in the restaurant?
Xu Miaojin is also a lavish owner. Although she thinks it is expensive, she can only pay for it.

So one-tenth of the 100 taels of silver was spent in the blink of an eye.

Xu Miaojin was on the verge of tears. She hadn't even walked halfway, but she was already in such embarrassment. Could she still make it to Yunnan?

It's not that Xu Miaojin doesn't know how to ride a horse, the problem is that horses are too expensive now, and she doesn't want to waste money, lest she starve to death halfway.

"Well, we can only take one step and see one step at a time," Xu Miaojin sighed, touched her finally satisfied belly, got up and walked out of the restaurant, then turned back after thinking about it.

"Dude, get a room." It turned out that she was sleepy and wanted to take a rest.

Last night she sat on the street corner hugging her legs all night without daring to sleep. Now after having had enough wine and food, she finally felt sleepy.

She also asked the waiter to prepare hot water, because it was a single room and there was a bathtub for washing up.

Of course, this costs money, and you have to at least tip the waiter, otherwise he won't do it.

After everything was settled, Xu Miaojin closed the doors and windows tightly, moved the bathtub into the back room where she slept, and closed the curtains.

Standing in front of the bathtub, she slowly pulled away the silk ribbon around her waist. Since it was already summer, it was already July after all, so the clothes were neither too many nor too thick.

As Xu Miaojin removed her underwear, a flawless and graceful figure was slowly revealed.

It's a pity that no one can appreciate this beautiful scenery. As the owner, Xu Miaojin didn't care and couldn't wait to step into the tub.

"It's so comfortable," Xu Miaojin exclaimed softly, and quickly sank into the water, washing the dust off her face and head with both hands.

When she raised her head again, she was no longer in a state of embarrassment as before, but she looked like a hibiscus, and it was so beautiful.

Taking a breath, Xu Miaojin leaned against the tub, closed her eyes and began to enjoy it, while also hesitating about one thing.

"Do you want to continue going to Yunnan?" Xu Miaojin muttered.

In fact, there is an information bias here, that is, Xu Miaojin learned that Zhu Yuanzhang had sent an edict to summon Zhu Zhen to the capital, and Zhu Yuanzhang had already mentioned his plan to marry Zhu Zhen and Xu Miaojin.

But the problem is that by the time Xu Da got the news, it was already too late. Jiang Yu and others might have been on the road at that time, or had gone to Sichuan to send her father off to Princess Shu, or even to Yunnan.

And Xu Miaojin's plan was also very simple. She just wanted to find Zhu Zhen first, and then find a way to get Zhu Zhen to break off the engagement.

She knew her father's difficulties. Even the Duke of Guoguo was executed by the whole family, and even the Duke of Liang was completely cold. Who in the civil and military dynasties would dare to contradict the Hongwu Emperor?

Therefore, Xu Miaojin could only save herself, and the only way was to let Zhu Zhen, as the son of Emperor Hongwu, oppose the marriage.

Xu Miaojin even prepared for the worst. If it didn't work out, she would never go home. Even becoming a monk would be better than getting married.

"If I am not the man I chose, I would rather never marry in this life," Xu Miaojin gritted her teeth. She had a stubborn temper.

But for some reason, a figure of a person flashed across Xu Miaojin's heart.

Biting her red lips, Xu Miaojin's cheeks were a little red and she muttered: "Why do you think of him? We just met once and just lent me some money. When I get home, will I still be short of these 100 taels?"

But even though he said that, the phrase 'we are destined to meet each other thousands of miles away' kept ringing in my mind, as if he had said it in his ears.

"It would be great if it was him," Xu Miaojin couldn't help but sigh in despair. If Zhu Zhen was such a majestic and extraordinary person, she would have recognized him.

But Xu Miaojin knew that at this time, His Majesty's decree had probably just arrived in Yunnan, and Zhu Chu had not yet set off, right?So how could it be him.

"Forget it, I'd better go home. Don't starve to death on the road. At worst, if I really can't refuse this marriage, I will become a monk and I won't embarrass my father." Xu Miaojin took a deep breath and finally said Make up your mind.

It seems that she thought things were too simple at that time and thought she could go to Yunnan.

It's not that she can't endure hardships. Compared to practicing martial arts, she's just traveling, so what's the hardship?

The problem is that she wants to eat meat, but the money in her hand cannot support her to eat a lot of fish and meat, so she will suffer a bit.

Xu Miaojin also knew that she was a little willful, so she couldn't help sticking out her tongue and laughing to herself.

There is no way, why should she be spoiled by the whole family? She is the youngest. Not only are her parents doting on her, but her brothers and sisters also support her and protect her.

If she is punished, all her brothers and sisters will help her bear the punishment.

If she is unhappy, the whole family will have to find ways to comfort her.

But Xu Miaojin is not unreasonable and ignorant of right and wrong.

The matter this time was so big that even her father, Duke Wei, would never dare to refuse the marriage offered by His Majesty.

"Ugh."

She was obviously a girl, but she sighed deeply and was filled with distress.

At the same time, on the other side, Zhu Xi was still wandering around the city.

This is the place where the Battle of Hongdu took place and where the Zhu Ming Dynasty was founded. Without the success of this battle, there would be no Ming Dynasty.

It's really not nonsense. At that time, Chen Youliang was the most powerful prince among Zhu, Chen, and Zhang.

At the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, after a chaotic battle in the Central Plains, only three princes were left fighting for hegemony, namely Chen Youliang, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhang Shicheng.

Everyone knew at that time that it would probably be one of them who would eventually ascend the throne and become emperor.

Moreover, Chen Youliang still occupies the land south of the Yangtze River and has the largest wealth of money and food.

Zhu Yuanzhang can be said to be one of the few who started from the north and unified the south to win the world.

Even Zhu Zhen admired his father in this life. Throughout the ages, this was the first time that not only a commoner, but also a monk, who came from a humble background, became an emperor.

So he walked around until the evening, and then returned to the restaurant where he was staying with satisfaction.

The restaurant he entered happened to be where Xu Miaojin stayed.

Isn't this a coincidence? After all, there is no book without coincidence.
