Chapter 105: Zhu Gaochi, who threw 200,000 yuan for his brother-in-law!(1/2)
The warm sunshine in winter is probably the easiest way to relax.
In the Prince's Mansion, Mrs. Zhang was sitting in the yard with a white Persian cat in her arms, knitting a new sweater in her hands.
The Persian cat in her arms was very beautiful, with long white hair and a round body curled up on Zhang's legs, like a white woolen ball.
There was no fuss or fuss, but from time to time he raised his head to look at Mr. Zhang, then called "meow" twice, and rubbed his furry head on Mrs. Zhang's palm, like a clingy little goblin.
The yard was also lively. Fat Zhu Gaochi was chasing a half-grown white-haired puppy.
Compared to the Persian cat, which is as quiet as a quiet little male.
The white-haired puppy in front of Zhu Gaochi looked like a veritable naughty child.
Either a touch here or a bite here, and from time to time, they will attack some flowers and plants.
Zhu Gaochi wanted to catch this little thing, so he chased after the white-haired puppy. However, the little white dog thought that Zhu Gaochi was playing a game with it. Every time, it was not far or near from Zhu Gaochi, but it happened to be flexible and capable.
He ran back and pounced on Zhu Gaochi's feet, and then immediately jumped away when Zhu Gaochi grabbed it.
Zhu Gaochi was sweating profusely and panting as he chased, but he didn't even touch the dog's hair. He could only hold one hand on a pillar and one hand on his knee, breathing heavily:
"Stop chasing me, you little thing is too good at running away!"
"Woof woof..."
When the little white dog saw that Zhu Gaochi stopped chasing him, he stopped in front of Zhu Gaochi and started barking, as if he was urging him to have fun before he had finished playing.
When Zhu Gaochi saw this scene, he rolled his eyes angrily: "Go, go, you even laughed at me, be careful I will lose you tomorrow!"
Ms. Zhang, who was knitting a sweater at the side, laughed out loud when she heard Zhu Gaochi's words. She looked at the white-haired puppy who was still amusing Zhu Gaochi and said jokingly:
"I've heard you say this more than ten times, are you really embarrassed?"
When Zhu Gaochi heard Zhang's words, he smiled on his fat face and didn't care. He said, "That's not possible. This was given to me by my son after all."
After saying this, Zhu Gaochi continued to chase the white-haired puppy, shouting while chasing: "You stop, if you stop, I will call you the bachelor of Baimao Pavilion, or I will give this title to the cat!"
"
Mrs. Zhang rolled her eyes when she heard this, touched the Persian cat in her arms, and snorted: "My son said, my Persian cat is a little girl, what does it look like to be awarded a bachelor's degree? If you have the ability, you can give it to me.
It would be nice for me to make you a princess or princess or something."
Zhu Gaochi rolled his eyelids and said without thinking: "Do you think I have as much face as our son in front of the old man? In the palace compound, it means that it will be demolished as soon as it is demolished. If you don't tell me after the demolition is completed, the old man will ask about demolition."
Are you happy? Are you feeling comfortable? Let me go find the old man. I can’t tell you what the newspaper will be like tomorrow. You have to ask our son to arrange it and write something about Prince Zhu Gaochi abandoning his pen and joining the army!"
What he said almost made Mrs. Zhang laugh again.
Kong Jin's matter is not a secret to Zhang, so he has naturally heard of it.
Almost the entire Ming Dynasty now believes in the name that his son arranged for Kong Jin.
She was about to say something when the eunuch and maid waiting at the door of the courtyard suddenly saluted and said:
"See His Highness Taisun!"
Zhu Zhanji waved his hand and signaled these eunuchs and maids to retreat.
Then he saluted Zhu Gaochi and Mrs. Zhang and said, "My dear, please pay your respects to your parents!"
"Son, are you back?"
Mrs. Zhang saw Zhu Zhanji coming back and shouted with a smile.
Zhu Gaochi on the side also nodded to Zhu Zhanji.
The little white dog who was having fun with Zhu Gaochi saw Zhu Zhanji who suddenly came in. As if he had seen a new target, he ran over with jumping and jumping.
"go!"
When Zhu Zhanji saw that the little white dog wanted to bite his trouser leg, he kicked the little white dog away angrily.
The little white dog screamed, and immediately rolled and crawled back to Zhu Gaochi. Zhu Gaochi saw the little white dog hiding behind him, and was a little afraid of Zhu Zhanji. His face smiled happily, and he grabbed Xiaobai.
He lifted the dog's neck into his arms and said with a smile:
"Haha, now it's up to you whether you can run away or not?"
"Woof woof..."
The little white dog was caught by Zhu Gaochi, and he was not afraid of barking and barking at Zhu Gaochi. He was very lively and affectionate.
Zhu Gaochi said happily while avoiding the little white dog that wanted to lick his face: "Tsk, tsk, call me daddy. If you call me daddy, I will let you go!"
Zhu Zhanji: “…”
So I have another younger brother?
Seeing his silly father teasing the little white dog in his arms, Zhu Zhanji felt a little depressed.
I was thinking about whether I would give this little white dog a title or something when my silly father ascended the throne.
Zhu Gaochi said to Zhu Zhanji: "Son, I heard that you are out of the city again?"
"Um!"
Zhu Zhanji nodded when he heard this and said: "Go and have a look at the greenhouse outside the city!"
Zhu Zhanji did not mention the matter of his third uncle, so as not to worry his stupid father.
He had just said goodbye to Yu Qian and Gu Zuo.
When Yu Qian arrived in Yingtian for the first time, he had to hurry up and settle in his accommodation in advance.
Gu Zuo has also been busy recently, including the renovation of dilapidated buildings in Yingtian and the cement road construction project, which requires planning in advance.
Although these matters have been left to Zhou Chen, they still need the help of Ying Tianfu Yin.
So Zhu Zhanji didn't say much to the two of them. After walking around the greenhouse area, he took Yu Qian back to Yingtian.
Then after writing down Yu Qian's residence, he returned to the Prince's Mansion.
Zhu Gaochi didn't think much after hearing this, but while holding the little white dog and teasing it, he said: "Recently, the newspaper affairs have basically stabilized. According to what you said, every day's newspaper content is published in an effort to be the most truthful and accurate.
For quick matters, as well as reporter matters, I have already found about 60 people and arranged them all in various places."
"News has come back from places close to Yingtian. The newspaper office has almost published the fifteenth issue of the newspaper now. The response from the people is still very good. Even some great Confucian scholars and court officials will publish it every day.
I make it a habit to buy a newspaper and read it.”
Zhu Zhanji nodded when he heard this. He was quite concerned about newspapers. When he was dealing with government affairs every day, when he had free time, he would ask Little Nose to find him a newspaper to read, mainly to make sure that there would be no mistakes in the newspaper.
.
However, after he handed over all the newspaper matters to his silly father, the newspapers his silly father had been running these days did not disappoint him. All the contents were in line with his previous requirements.
After thinking about it, he said: "For the officials of the imperial court, we can arrange for some people to send a free copy to them before going to court after the first newspaper is printed every day, so that they can pay more attention to the imperial court.
It is still very necessary for political affairs."
After a pause, Zhu Zhanji added: "The other thing is about the operation of newspapers. Dad, do you remember what I told you before about using newspapers to make money?"
Zhu Gaochi hadn't spoken yet. He heard the two father and son discussing business. Zhang, who was about to leave with the Persian cat in his arms, heard Zhu Zhanji say that the newspaper was profitable. He paused and turned around with bright eyes.
He bowed his head and said, "I remember this, son. At that time, you said it would be two million silver a year."
"You have such a good memory!"
When Zhu Zhanji heard Zhang's words, he felt confused about whether to laugh or cry.
Zhu Gaochi on the side heard what Zhang said and complained to Zhu Zhanji: "Is it okay if you have a bad memory? Last time you carried the banknote I gave her and didn't warm it up, so you asked your mother to give it to your uncle.
It was all ruined, and then your uncle came to me and wanted money from me."
Zhu Zhanji: “…”
Do you have an uncle?
Several questions popped up in Zhu Zhanji's mind.
Then a cunning face with a goatee came to mind.
Then he looked at Ms. Zhang, whose excitement instantly cooled down after hearing what silly dad said, and said somewhat speechlessly: "Mom, what dad said is not true, is it?"
Isn’t this lady a madman who wants to support her younger brother?
He actually remembered who his so-called uncle was.
It's just that mud can't support the wall.
Although she was incompetent, she relied on her sister to become the crown princess, and she did a lot of mischief.
Because Zhu Zhanji knew the nature of his uncle, although he didn't say anything sarcastic to him because of his relationship with his mother, he never paid much attention to this person.
He didn't expect that he ignored her, but his mother was very protective of him.
The last time he gave his wife a banknote of two hundred thousand taels, he originally intended to honor her.
It's better for my wife to give it all directly.
When Mrs. Zhang heard this, she also knew that there was something wrong. She said in a low voice: "It's not like your uncle got a batch of salt from somewhere. He said he planned to sell salt. Who knew that he got the salt?
But now there is suddenly a new salt, and it costs fifty cents a pound. Who will buy his old salt now?"
