Chapter 292: Rare Confused

Zhu Gaoxu loves to eat sea fish, and there is no fresh sea fish in Yunnan.However, he still ate it from Du Qianrui, braised with dried salted fish.

Of course, dried fish cannot be compared with fresh fish, and even frozen food is not as good as.

Although the dried salted fish is covered with a layer of sea salt and dried and preserved, it still has a faint smell of smell.

Du Qianrui added green onion, ginger, garlic, and fermented black beans. The subtle smell of fermented black beans combined with the taste of dried fish, but it tasted better.

Zhu Gaoxu had to admire Du Qianrui's thoughts in cooking.

Originally, Zhu Gaoxu wanted to go to Yao Ji's place tonight, but he had a very pleasant night and was not satisfied... Later, he didn't want to ignore Du Qianrui, so he gave up.

However, he found that it was good to come to Du Qianrui's place today, at least the dinner was delicious.

Du Qianrui asked him if it tasted good, and Zhu Gaoxu casually said it was good.

Really?But Du Qianrui asked again.

Zhu Gaoxu was already full at this time, so he put down his chopsticks and said seriously: He put less seasonings for the vegetable soup and stir-fried fresh meat, but it just highlighted the unique fragrance of fresh vegetables.The salted fish has a strong smell, so it is added with heavy ingredients, which makes the flavor of the seasoning blend with the dried fish, which greatly increases appetite.The most rare thing is Qian Rui’s feelings and remembering my preferences...

After saying that, he sighed: The dishes cooked with care taste differently.

After a serious matter, Zhu Gaoxu said it in a very clear way, which made Du Qianrui amused. She laughed and said coquettishly: I thought the prince was tired of the food I cooked.

Where do you start with this?Zhu Gaoxu said.

Du Qianrui said: Last night, the prince should have come here, so I prepared the meal and waited; I didn’t expect the prince to go to Yao Ji’s sister’s side.The prince goes wherever he likes, but I was a little disappointed at that time. I thought the prince was tired of this taste and disliked it.

Zhu Gaoxu was stunned for a moment. I said yesterday afternoon that I would go to Yao Ji's place.

Du Qianrui said oh, lowered her head and murmured: Maybe it was because the prince forgot and said something to me.

When Zhu Gaoxu heard this, he suddenly noticed a detail: Yesterday, he really said that he was going to Yao Ji?

But Zhu Gaoxu didn't think that Wang Gui dared to open his eyes and talk lies in front of him.

He was silent for a while, recalled carefully, and then he gradually had some impression... At that time, he was busy, and Wang Gui asked, probably whether the prince would go to Yao Ji's place tonight; Zhu Gaoxu agreed casually.

At this moment, Du Qianrui said softly: I thought that Eunuch Wang had known me for a long time, so he would probably say hello to such things so that I would not be idle. Alas!

Du Qianrui was right. Wang Gui first met Du Qianrui of Zhu Gaoxu's wives and concubines.

Moreover, on the way from the Fuleyuan in the capital to the escape to Peking, Zhu Gaoxu, Wang Gui, Du Qianrui and the other three were together; Du Qianrui also said before that Wang Gui, the eunuch in the county prince's mansion, took good care of her.

When Zhu Gaoxu heard these trash things, he was all inexplicable intrigues, which was troublesome to think about.He was also in a bit upset.

Du Qianrui looked at Zhu Gaoxu's face carefully and said softly: Prince, shouldn't I say this? I'm causing trouble for the prince?

It's okay.Zhu Gaoxu waved his hand and said, I didn't blame you.

He thought for a moment and thought to himself: Du Qianrui's method of pleasing people is indeed slightly inferior, and his depth of thought is not as deep as Yao Ji.

She secretly attacked Yao Ji, but if the male owner didn't know how to tell the difference, she would get bored with her... People are always profitable, and Zhu Gaoxu was comfortable with Yao Ji, and of course he would easily have a more favorable impression of Yao Ji.

But Zhu Gaoxu was not like this. Instead, he felt more relaxed with Du Qianrui.After all, Du Qianrui has something unhappy, so she directly reveals it.

Zhu Gaoxu didn't speak for a while, and he was wondering: Why did Wang Gui speak for Yao Ji yesterday?

Because Wang Gui, the eunuch, helped Zhu Gaoxu handle matters most of the time, rarely walked around the harem and had few contacts with Yao Ji... However, Wang Gui seemed to have bought a house in Kunming City at the end of last year and raised a few maids. Could it be that he was short of money and accepted Yao Ji's bribes?

Zhu Gaoxu knew about Wang Gui's affairs... It was because of the divination of Hou Hai, this civil servant liked to inquire about other people's private affairs the most.

Du Qianrui's voice said again: I heard that I was on Yao Ji's side last night, and there was a sound of silk and bamboo when I was very late, and she even sang a small song.Does she sing well?

Zhu Gaoxu didn't want to cause trouble anymore, so he didn't say anything, and Yao Ji was afraid that she would not be as good as Du Qianrui's attainments.He said casually: It sounds pretty good. Anyway, I don’t know anything about the rhythm and can’t tell what’s going on.

Du Qianrui chuckled and said: The prince doesn’t understand skills, but he knows how to appreciate them.

Zhu Gaoxu first held back the unhappiness in his heart and smiled and said: I am afraid that Qianrui will be praised by me like this, and I will be laughed at outside in the future.I remembered a text... The article is called "Zou Ji's satirization of King Qi's advice."

Du Qianrui said again: I really feel this way, I don’t want to please the prince.

The two women's affairs were hard to explain.

Zhu Gaoxu didn't want to talk about the topic tonight, but fortunately Du Qianrui didn't mention it anymore.

She asked the maids to come in and clean up the table, so she went to make two green teas in person.

When Zhu Gaoxu saw Du Qianrui lowering his head and playing with the ceramic teacup, he asked, is this Jingdezhen porcelain?

The prince has good eyesight.Du Qianrui was slightly surprised.She had been with Zhu Gaoxu for a long time, and probably knew that Zhu Gaoxu was not very particular about many things.

Zhu Gaoxu smiled and said: Jingdezhen's porcelain is the most famous... from Jiangxi.

After a while, he asked gently: Is Qianrui homesick?

Du Qianrui raised her head and looked surprised again.

Zhu Gaoxu is famous for his bravery, but he has always been very meticulous and is a bit good at guessing other people's mentality and cards.

Du Qianrui's voice said quietly: It's so strange. I have been in my hometown for a few days, but I still remember it occasionally.

Well... Zhu Gaoxu made a voice of unknown significance.

He is usually very willing to talk to people close to him or listen to them; he is not just for the sake of his three wives and concubines.

Zhu Gaoxu has relatives in this world, but the interests of the royal family are too great; huge interests will instead dilute the true family affection between father, son and brother.

At this time, Zhu Gaoxu was sent to several thousand miles away. Apart from the two women around him, his wife and children, who else is close to him?

Du Qianrui's voice was very low, and she said in a whispering tone. When she thought of the familiar bamboo forests, small roads, and stone dams she had when she was a child, she always felt warm and relieved, and a little sour... Oh, I can't explain it clearly.But last time I really went back, and I saw the dilapidated village that had not changed for ten years, and I felt so depressed when I saw everything.It's really weird to people...

She paused for a moment and said in a very low voice: I dare not miss my mother, it feels uncomfortable to think of it.

Zhu Gaoxu gently stroked her shoulders and back, without saying anything comforting, just listening silently.

Perhaps influenced by Du Qianrui's mood, Zhu Gaoxu also felt a little sad.

...The next morning, Zhu Gaoxu went to the study in the front hall, and the eunuch Wang Gui followed in.

Zhu Gaoxu walked to the table, picked up the brush that had been placed on the inkstone, and wrote: Withdraw 100 jin of silver and money to Wang Gui.

He picked up the paper and blew it, handed it to Wang Gui beside him and said: You have to take care of the keys of the treasury and take it to take it yourself.

Wang Gui bowed and took it to see it. His expression suddenly became very complicated, and his face turned pale.

After a while, Wang Gui asked carefully: I wonder what the prince ordered me to withdraw this money?

For you.Zhu Gaoxu took a natural tone. You are not a civil and military official, but a slave to my family. Do I still need to reward you based on my merits?

Thank you, my servant!Wang Gui hurriedly clasped his fists and bent down.

Zhu Gaoxu said again: I think you should reward you.I heard that you bought a house and maid outside, but you are in charge of the treasury and you are not well off. Isn’t this a reward?

After Zhu Gaoxu did this, he was busy reading the official documents and doing other things as if nothing had happened.

After lunch, Zhu Gaoxu chose a corridor to rest in the small courtyard next to the study.

At this time, Wang Gui walked into the house and suddenly knelt on the ground, kowtowed up, and cried: I deserve to die of punishment!

Zhu Gaoxu glared and said: What, what happened?

Wang Gui choked and cried: It’s all my fault for greed for the things outside of him…

I am an eunuch, homeless and often want someone to serve you or ask about your well-being, so I bought a few little girls, who were raised like god girls, and it cost more, and I was really short of money.

The day before yesterday, according to the prince's wishes, summer was coming soon, so I went to the treasury to get some thin materials and took people to the yard of Yao Ji and Du Qianrui.

When I saw Yao Ji, I exchanged a few greetings.

Yao Ji then took a ingot of silver to me, saying that she was thankful for her care.

Of course I dare not ask for it, so I quickly said that it was the prince’s intention, and the things taken from the prince’s mansion were also the prince’s love.

Yao Ji said that it was because of the prince’s love that she had money in her hands and she didn’t go out normally, so it was useless to hold the money.He also said that he would let the servants take it and then ask someone to go to the market to buy two boxes of rouge and send it to the mansion.

When I heard that she was sincere, I stopped it when I was confused about money.How much does it cost to two boxes of rouge?Of course, I can’t pretend to be ignorant. Yesterday I deliberately asked the prince if he would go to Yao Ji’s side... I deserve to die, and I deserve to die!

Is there anything like this?Zhu Gaoxu stared at him and said, "I only heard Hou Hai laughing. When talking about you, a eunuch, and buying a little girl, you might be short of money."I didn't expect you to take her money!Who told you that real money is useless?

Prince... Wang Gui raised his head, looking confused.

Zhu Gaoxu also looked confused, and the two looked at each other.

After a while, Zhu Gaoxu waved: Your mother!I miss you, take the initiative to admit your mistake, forget it this time.If you are short of money in the future, tell me not to tinker with those evil ways!
