Ming Dynasty: Zhu Biao's younger brother, the most rebellious son in history

Xu Miaoyun looked at Zhu Kai in surprise.

"I remember we were in a hurry to leave at noon. Didn't you say that we didn't have time to prepare anything? How could you even have time to make some milk tea? I don't believe it!"

"Why don't you have time?
After I told you about this, I arranged for the kitchen staff to prepare it. They finished it just before we left, so I brought it here.

I didn't tell you, I just wanted to give you a surprise, you try it first to see if it tastes good, I think you girls like to drink this kind of stuff, at least the girls I know like to drink it."

Xu Miaoyun took the milk tea that Zhu Kai handed over, opened the bag and smelled it. It had a strong milky aroma.

"What did you say? All the girls you know like to drink. Could it be that besides me, you know other girls in Beijing? How come I don't know? You never told me this."

Zhu Kai couldn't help but smile when he saw Xu Miaoyun's coquettish look.

"I just said it casually, but you actually took it seriously. You are the only girl I know in the capital, and I don't know anyone else in Liaobei except Guanyinnu."

Xu Miaoyun was just joking with Zhu Kai. How could he not know how important he was in the other person's heart?

His face suddenly became very serious.

"Don't be angry, I was just joking. This is specially prepared for you. No other girl has ever drunk it except you. You are the first person in the Ming Dynasty who can drink the milk tea I made myself."

"No, you misunderstood. I'm not angry. I just suddenly thought of something important and wanted to tell you."

"What important thing did you think of? Tell me about it."

"Today, Guanyinnu and I were in the carriage. I looked at him and felt that he looked a little strange, so I chatted with him for a few minutes. I felt that I found some loopholes in his words. I'll tell you, maybe you can find some important information."

Zhu Kai already knew what Guanyinnu and Wang Baobao were thinking, and he was not surprised by their motives.

"Take a sip of the milk tea first. You must be tired. Let's sit down and talk slowly."

"I've been sitting in the carriage for the whole afternoon, how could I be tired? But you've been riding for so long, you should be a little tired, let's go to the side and talk slowly."

So, the two of them went straight to the big rock next to them and sat down casually.

In fact, there was a reason why Zhu Kai didn't want to go back into the house. He knew that in this environment outside, he could always observe whether there was anyone around who was monitoring him or eavesdropping on his conversations.

It would be difficult to judge if he returned to the room, so he had to rest outside for a while and return to the room after he had figured out all the suspicions in his mind.

Xu Miaoyun saw that Zhu Kai was looking at him with eager eyes, ready to see how he would react after drinking the milk tea. He felt embarrassed to delay any longer, so he opened the lid of the water bag, and a milky aroma hit his face.

"No wonder this thing is called milk tea. It has a really strong milky flavor. To be honest, I'm a little uncomfortable with the salty milk tea in Wang Baobao's tribe. It feels a little greasy."

"It's normal that you can't get used to their salty milk tea. Even I can't get used to it. After all, we are from the Central Plains and like to drink Longjing and Biluochun."

Xu Miaoyun covered her mouth and smiled.

"Forget it. When did you ever like to drink tea? Didn't you say that tea is very bitter and sometimes astringent? It's you who don't like it. Now you're bringing it up with me."

Xu Miaoyun had just made a joke, and he picked up the milk tea in his hand and gulped it down. To be honest, he was a little thirsty after all the trouble on the way.

As soon as he took a sip, he saw that Xu Miaoyun's brows had relaxed.

When Zhu Kai saw his expression, he knew that he must have been conquered by milk tea. It has been said before that no girl can resist sweet and delicious milk tea.

"What is this? It tastes delicious, with the aroma of both tea and milk, but not as bitter as tea, nor as sweet as milk.

Combining the scents of both is a match made in heaven.

You are so amazing that you can invent something so delicious. I will drink it every day when I go back!"

Zhu Kai was really shocked when he heard this. He stared with wide eyes and said somewhat embarrassedly.

"This is not just a drink, you can treat it as a dessert, but you can't drink it every day. If you drink it every day, you will become very fat. Are you willing to watch yourself become a fat girl?"

Xu Miaoyun lowered her head and looked at her belly.

"Forget it then, I'll just drink less!"

Zhu Kai looked at Xu Miaoyun who was so satisfied with her milk tea and thought to himself that he didn’t know who was so talented to develop sweet milk tea. But now this is the Ming Dynasty and Zhu Kai is the number one maker of milk tea, and it was he who developed it!
At this time, Zhu Kai thought of a very good business, which was to open milk tea shops all over the country. It would be one more shop and one more opportunity to make money!

As Zhu Kai thought about it, he couldn't help but laugh.

Xu Miaoyun also saw what Zhu Kai was thinking, and asked in a pretended angry tone.

"Oh, I see. Judging from your expression just now, you want to open a shop like this in the future. So you treat me as a test subject, letting me try whether this thing tastes good and whether it can do business. Why is it that you only think about making money?"

"Oh, if you say that, you are really wronging me. Didn't I tell you when I woke up that morning? I will let you try milk tea if you have the chance. Since you like it so much, we should promote it vigorously so that everyone can have the opportunity to drink it.

I can't be so selfish and keep the good things for myself. I can let others taste the good things and make money at the same time. This is a win-win situation. How come I think about making money all day long, as if I am obsessed with money. "

"Zhu Kai, to be honest with you, sometimes I don't understand why you, as a prince of the Ming Dynasty, don't think about fighting for power and gain, but just open a shop and do business to make money all day long."

"Because money is the foundation for our Ming Dynasty to become strong.

With more money, we can build the Ming Dynasty better, so that it can develop forever and not be bullied by others. This is the purpose of my coming here!"

Zhu Kai felt relieved when he saw this situation. While he and Xu Miaoyun were talking outside, the people in the house had almost finished their meal.

Zhu Chong looked to the left and right but didn't see Zhu Kai.

"Zhu Gang, have you seen my second brother?" "No, he has been outside all the time and hasn't come in. And he won't eat with us. He has to go back to his room and eat with my second sister-in-law.

You don't have to worry so much. Why should we worry about your second brother? Just take care of yourself."

Zhu Chong thought to himself that he was not really worried about his second brother now.

The main reason was that he wanted to perform well in front of him. He was about to return to the capital to meet his father Zhu Yuanzhang. If he performed poorly in any way, his second brother could say a few good words for him.

After Zhu Di ate something, he hurried outside to check the situation. He knew that tonight would be a sleepless night.

After finishing his meal, he came outside and saw Zhu Kai and Xu Miaoyun sitting at the door, apparently drinking water.

"Brother, you are only focusing on yourself. Why don't you let your sister-in-law go in and have a rest?
You guys are just drinking water here without eating anything. Can you be full just by drinking water? We have been busy all afternoon. Go and have a good rest. Don’t we have to get up early tomorrow morning to travel? "

"You seem to care about us. We just want to have a good rest here. We will go in soon."

After hearing this, Zhu Di looked back and saw that there was no one around. He then put his head close to Zhu Kai and spoke softly.

"Second brother, the Royal Guards must have sent so many of them this time because of our father. It seems that he really values ​​us. I never expected that he would arrange so many Royal Guards in case someone would do something to us on the way."

After hearing this, Zhu Kai sneered and said.

"You're not the only one who didn't think of it. Even I didn't consider that the emperor would attach so much importance to it. But I don't think he might be doing this to protect us. He's mainly on guard against Wang Baobao."

"You do have some truth in what you said, but didn't the emperor already issue an imperial decree not to allow Wang Baobao to prepare in advance? He may not be allowed to bring anyone with him, so he can be considered obedient."

“Don’t lie that the emperor didn’t have any order not to allow Wang Baobao to bring followers. This is a truth he figured out on his own. But this guy is also quite smart and can see the emperor’s hidden thoughts.

My father has always been like this. He never tells us directly what he thinks, leaving us all to guess.

He was so anxious to have us come back and not make any preparations because he didn't want Wang Baobao to have any followers with him. It seemed that my father was still worried about him.

But think about it, my father is even more worried about me, he doesn't believe I can completely subdue Wang Baobao, this scourge. "

“Brother, I hear you sound a little discouraged.

You must not think like that. Your father doesn't mean that. He still trusts you very much. It's just that this matter involves outsiders, so it's better to be cautious.

Don't give them time to arrange in advance, lest they send some people to harm the emperor in the capital. Guarding against thieves is the most difficult thing. "

After listening to Zhu Di's analysis, Zhu Kai nodded. This kid was really too smart. If he wanted to trick him one day, it might be a little difficult.

At this moment, Xu Miaoyun also felt a little tired, but after drinking the milk tea just now, he was no longer hungry.

"Your Highness, you two can chat here slowly. I'm going back to my room to rest. I'll also help you pack up in advance. We left in such a hurry that we didn't have time to pack up many things. The carriage is also a mess."

"Second brother, I won't bother you anymore. Please send your second sister-in-law back to rest."

Zhu Di didn't finish what he wanted to say. Seeing that Xu Miao seemed very tired, he didn't want to waste Zhu Kai's time any longer.

When Zhu Kai was helping Xu Miaoyun to go back to the house to rest, he saw the third and fourth brothers.

Zhu Chong smiled and hurried over to say.

"Brother, why did you come just now? Everyone has almost finished eating. I was just wondering why you didn't come to eat."

"Have you all finished eating?"

"Of course. You're the only one missing now. Otherwise, I'll ask the waiter to heat up the food. What we ate just now has gone cold."

"No need. Haven't we arranged for someone to deliver the food to our room? I can go back now. Where are Wang Baobao and Guanyinnu?"

"They both went back to their rooms to rest. Second brother, do you have something to talk to them about?"

“There’s nothing else to do, just casually showing concern.

Now that everyone has finished their meal, let's go back to our rooms and have a good rest. We will be leaving tomorrow and will be back in the capital around dusk."

"Second brother, you are traveling too fast. If you continue like this, I'm afraid many people won't be able to bear it."

"You two are men after all. Are you tired of traveling with such delicate bodies?"

After hearing Zhu Kai's questioning, Zhu Gang was too embarrassed to refute it, so he pushed the blame onto someone else.

"Brother, please don't misunderstand me. We didn't say anything else. We just wanted to say that we can persevere.

But my second sister-in-law and Guanyin slave may not be able to bear it physically. They are both weak women. If they can’t bear it physically, they will inevitably fall seriously ill when they return to the capital.”

"Guanyinnu doesn't need to worry about him, but for a girl who grew up on horseback, this distance is nothing to him."

Xu Miaoyun also knew that Zhu Kai was very anxious and wanted to return to the capital, so naturally she was reluctant to waste his time.

"I don't have any problem. Who told you that I'm so delicate? I've managed to get through this entire afternoon. What else can't I get through?

Besides, everyone is eager to go home, and it’s not a good idea to rush back to the capital.

We have delayed the meeting between Father and Mother, so let's go back as quickly as possible. Even if we can't hold on, we will be back home in the capital, so we can just rest for a few days."

After Xu Miaoyun finished speaking, these things also showed his attitude, and he immediately returned to the room. Zhu Kai followed Xu Miaoyun and returned to the room arranged in advance. (End of this chapter)
