Conscientiously making soy sauce

The maple leaf turned red, and it was like a fire.

Standing in front of the window, Li Qi looked at the towering trees in the distance, and at the clear lake in the distance, as if there were cinnamon fragrance in the dark. He rubbed his temples, and said in a faint voice, "He said he wanted to leave?"

"Yes, Your Majesty." Sun Dong clasped his fists together, "Young Master Zhuang has said several times that he wants to go back as soon as possible."

"Mr. Zhuang has nothing to do here. He must be bored. Mr. Zhuang also has an industrial store in the south of the Yangtze River. It is normal to miss it. Especially here without relatives and reasons, you will feel lonely." Sun Dong carefully chooses his words, since the Lord ascended Assuming a high position, the scheming is deeper and the means are more ruthless.The brothers said they were under house arrest and they were put under house arrest, and the concubines said they moved to the palace and they moved to the palace.

Sun Dong didn't fully convey Zhuang Yuan's words, he knew that if he did, the Lord would be furious.In any case, the Lord never thought of killing Mr. Zhuang.

"Is he healed?" Li Qi sighed, and told himself several times that to be an emperor, he must be cold-hearted and have no weakness.He couldn't make up his mind to let the young man stay away, and he hated him in his heart, but when he thought of Zhuang Yuan leaving his side, his chest would be so stuffy that he couldn't breathe, and his hands would tremble.

I was really stunned.

"Yes, it's good. I haven't been very energetic these few days, and my subordinates have seen that Mr. Zhuang is not getting used to the capital. And he also said that he doesn't want to be an official, he doesn't want to be here, and this subordinate thinks it's better to let Mr. Zhuang... ..."

"Don't mention the word back again." Li Qi didn't turn around, his whole body was cold, "reward him with a thousand taels of gold, let him see what he likes and buy what, and don't be too restrictive. But follow others at any time , to save him from running away. There are a lot of people coming and going in this capital, you should remind him a little, so as not to offend others."

"He doesn't have an official job right now, he's just a merchant. It's not good if he offends others."

"If he is bored, let him keep some cats and dogs." There are some good and gentle cats and dogs in the palace, if he wants, let Sun Dong bring two over there.

"Your Majesty, since he doesn't want to, why force him to stay?" Especially the emperor's previous attitude towards Zhuang Yuan made Sun Dong think that the emperor should actually... hate that young master, since he doesn't like it, why should he keep it? Not happy.The young man of the farmer lived willfully and carefree in the town, but he was beaten and imprisoned here, so it's no wonder he was happy.

If you really care, why treat it like this.

Now the emperor's attitude, is there any point towards the savior?

Sun Dong still wanted to continue to persuade the emperor, but saw the emperor waved his hand to make him back down.

The wind is light and the clouds are calm, and it is good weather.

Why not let him go?Li Qi himself was also wondering.He clearly knew that it was his weakness, he clearly knew that that person was tempting him, but he couldn't get rid of it, and he couldn't calmly let him go.

While loathing and disgusting, but also extremely longing, longing to see that person, longing to see his carefree smile, longing to hear him speak, hoping that he can see himself.

He had just ascended to the throne, and now the old minister served the late emperor because of his old age and refused to accept him, and the other people's minds were shaken. He was so busy that he didn't even have time to rest, and he only slept for an hour or two a day, but he was so busy. He was still thinking about whether the boy was recovering from his injury, and whether he should send someone to deliver some good medicine.

Even... thinking about ignoring the mess of the imperial court and running to the mansion to see him, even if he doesn't speak, it's fine, as long as he looks at him, sees that he is there, and he is there.

It was just a short meeting that day, but the face of a young man appeared in the dream, this...is not right.

The boy in the dream is full of smiles, he is the only one in his eyes, and the surroundings are like a hundred flowers blooming.In the dream, he embraced the boy as if he embraced the whole world, and everything in the world was not as important as him.

This is wrong, this is wrong, he is the emperor, the country and the country are the most important things, and everything else can be used and discarded.The existence of Zhuang Yuan is completely a threat to Sheji, and should not exist at all.Even if he saved his own life, it would not be worth threatening Jiangshan.But why can't he do it?Obviously ordering the hidden guards or a glass of poisoned wine can solve it, but he just can't do it.Not at all.

Thinking of gradually getting away from him in the cold, and perhaps forgetting about him in a few days, but day after day, he thinks about it and dreams about it.

Li Qi suddenly punched the window lattice, even if he died, he was not allowed to leave.

"Your Majesty..." Xiao Dezi walked in cautiously, "The prime minister said that there is something important to discuss with you, and that some old ministers dare to disobey His Majesty."

"Humph," Li Qi sneered, "You want to take control of the government just by reporting to me? That depends on whether I agree. Do you think I'm a fool?"

"Sooner or later, I will clean them up."

"Also" Li Qi's expression was gloomy, and the corners of his mouth were full of sarcasm, "Those who were imprisoned, they all went down with a glass of poisoned wine. The children left behind were pampered one by one. They didn't need to be taught anything, just raised and discarded. Dare to take advantage of it?" If I inspect and attack me, I should have realized it long ago."

Xiao Dezi lowered his head.Now the emperor is becoming more and more cold-hearted, and only mentioning the young master of the Zhuang family will give him some warmth.It's a pity that the young master of the Zhuang family is not a girl and cannot enter the palace. The emperor has a lot of things to do, and he is usually busy until midnight, and there is not even anyone to talk to and share.Before the courtiers persuaded the emperor to stand up as soon as possible, the emperor pushed him away with filial piety.Or, Xiao Dezi thought, let the emperor go to see the young master of the Zhuang family again in a few days?

To save the dragon's body from being busy day after day.

When Zhuang Yuan learned about the emperor's thoughts from Sun Dong's mouth, he rolled his big eyes hard.The grass mud horse in my heart is running wildly and taking the cub along. How did he hurt the emperor in his previous life, so why can't he die?If you want him to die, just drink a glass of poisoned wine.If you don't think it's necessary to keep your mouth shut, let him go.

It's so uncomfortable to hang like this.

Soon, the reward was brought over.I don't know if it's because the sick brother was afraid of being known, but the gold was brought over very low-key, and there was no eunuch proclaiming the decree like on TV.

It was carried so normally, it was just like a few Chinese cabbages or a pig that had been slaughtered and dehaired and blooded in it.

After all, there are a lot of thousands of taels of gold, and there are several boxes, which are dazzling yellow.It was the first time for Zhuang Yuan to see so much gold, and he was a little dazed by the wealth that filled the hall.A thousand taels of gold is not a small number.

In the town, one tael of silver can support a family.Looking at the gold ingots placed in the hall, he picked up one casually and bit into it.

A small tooth mark.

Gold is really soft, it should be gold and not brass.Zhuang Yuan weighed the weight again, it was still quite heavy.

"Master Sun, can I trouble Master Sun to ask someone to send a hundred taels of gold back. I don't have an explanation for coming out in such a hurry. I'm afraid that my housekeeper, Uncle Fu, will be worried. This way, it's a reward from above, and they will feel at ease. "Zhuang Yuan said with a smile, "I know Master Sun can't leave my side, but it should be okay to let others see you off. I don't know anyone in the capital, so I can only ask Master Sun."

"Young Master Zhuang, you are being polite." Sun Dong respectfully said, "Don't worry, Mr. Zhuang, I will definitely find a capable person to deliver the gold."

"It's just why Mr. Zhuang didn't tell the emperor? The emperor will definitely agree to make a decree and send someone to send it. Isn't this more honorable? It's more solemn than sending people to send it." Sun Dong couldn't help asking, "If Zhuang Young Master has this intention, I can report it to the Lord. I think the Lord will agree."

Hearing this, Zhuang Yuan glanced at Sun Dong, and he rolled his eyes again in his heart, and asked him to beg the emperor with snake spirit disease, thanking his eighteenth generation ancestors.He rewarded him with a board the first time we met, but will he lose half his life when we meet again?Even if he knew that death was just the start of another life, he didn't torture himself so much to seek death by himself.

The emperor's disgust and malice towards him were not fake, he could clearly feel it.

Now Zhuang Yuan only asks the emperor to grind his iron pestle into a needle every night, and he is busy with government affairs every day to death.In this way, he, an insignificant grassroots person, can be forgotten. After a long time, even if he slips away, the emperor probably won't care much about it.

Of course, Zhuang Yuan didn't want to reveal his treason to Sun Dong, who was a complete monarch and minister, and could only say tactfully, "I'm afraid that the emperor won't want to see me, and I don't know how to behave when the time comes. It's not good to offend the emperor, so why not just take some gold back. I don't need so much, and it's a reward from above, so even if I'm not here, no one will dare to think about it."

As for the remaining gold and silver taels, Zhuang Yuan kicked the red lacquered box.Why don't he invest in a restaurant or store, so as to save himself from doing nothing all day long, which is comparable to house arrest.

Now that he had an idea, Zhuang Yuan began to ask people about the situation in the capital.

Probably because he looks good and has a good temper, and he is very kind to people.Although none of the servants around him belonged to him, when asked about the shop, they knew everything and talked endlessly.Talking about which parts of the capital are more lively, and what kind of taste people in the capital like on weekdays.

Two days later, Uncle Liu came over with a notebook with a smile on his face, "My lord, I think you want to buy a restaurant. This is what I asked a friend to help me see. These are restaurants and shops that I am eager to sell recently. It's fair."

Uncle Liu pointed to the names and talked about the locations one by one, analyzing the size and price.There are big and small, and the locations are also different.After listening for a while, Zhuang Yuan probably had a final thought.

Here, princes and officials walk all over the street, and there may be a figure of a powerful person behind the big restaurant shop.If he wants to make a bid, at least it can't be big, and the location can't be too good, otherwise the restaurant won't survive for three days.Although he has a thousand taels of gold, Uncle Fu also gave him a lot of silver notes before he came, so there is no need to use all the gold.

Estimated, Zhuang Yuan looked down at the handwriting on the notebook and laughed in his heart.

Uncle Liu's handwriting is even better than his. That emperor really put his heart into it.

His eyes flickered again, then he looked for a middle-to-lower one, the location is generally good on weekdays and the business is generally good, the price offered is already good, if we talk about it again, we should be able to lower the price.

"My lord, where do you want to see?" Uncle Liu was very attentive, "If my lord has decided on a house, I will arrange it. The weather will be fine tomorrow, so I can go and see when I have the carriage ready. Make an appointment with those people."

"Just these two." Zhuang Yuan pointed to the most inconspicuous of them.

"These two? Should the other young masters also go and have a look?" Uncle Liu suggested, "These two are relatively big, and the business is good. They can be regarded as one of the best in the capital."

"It's not that I can count the number one or two. I know I'm two pounds." Zhuang Yuan lazily squeezed a peanut, crushed the outside clothes for the dividends but didn't eat it, and put it aside directly. "The two I said are enough."

On the second day, Uncle Liu got out of the carriage as expected.Knowing that Sun Dong would follow him no matter where he went, he didn't bother to say hello, anyway, the two servants plus Sun Dong staggered out the door.

Fast forward to late autumn, the leaves are falling all over the ground, and the sound of wheels crushing the fallen leaves can be heard.

The restaurant is not close, and it is not too big. The decoration inside is average, and it is fairly clean.Zhuang Yuan took a closer look at the account book and learned about the business, and then asked how many special dishes this restaurant has, and he couldn't learn the essence of it from other places.There will be no loss in the market, and sooner or later you can get back the original.

In addition, they are all small businesses, and the specifications and prices of the dishes are listed here. The people who come here are generally middle-class people, and high-ranking officials and princes will not come to take care of this kind of restaurant.Also because of the price, people who are too poor will not come here often, and the source of customers is relatively stable.Zhuo Yuan rested his chin, the middle class is the most stable and the biggest earner.

Now that this store has been booked, Zhuang Yuan negotiated the price with the other party, and the shopkeeper did not want to say that the original owner had already left, and the price could be lowered by a few cents.Naturally, Zhuang Yuan would not miss such a good thing, and settled the money within half a day, which was a few cents cheaper than what he estimated.

In the middle of the night, the main hall was brightly lit with candles, Li Qi was frowning and wearing folds, his face became more and more gloomy.Xiao Dezi walked gently to Li Qi's side, "Your Majesty, Mr. Zhuang has already bought a restaurant."

"Oh?" Li Qi put down the ink brush, "Which one? The first one?"

"It's the last one."

"Why did you choose that one?" Li Qi sneered, completely contemptuous, "It really is a thing that doesn't seek to make progress. Even restaurants don't dare to make a big deal, I think he can eat, drink and play, and he will be a waste snack in this life .wasted that..."

Li Qi suddenly stopped speaking, as if he saw the young man in a dream again, dressed in green clothes standing under the willow tree, the spring breeze, the spring moon and the flowers were faintly fragrant.

"Your majesty, but why didn't your majesty tell Mr. Zhuang?" Tell Mr. Zhuang what he did for him and the shop he arranged for him.This will also save Mr. Zhuang from not knowing the emperor's painstaking efforts.

"Huh, he doesn't want to make progress but just wants to be a merchant. I don't like it very much and I hate it. But he saved me after all, this restaurant takes it as a reward, and...a reward of one hundred taels of gold to his hometown, so as to save him I thought I didn’t care about him.” Li Qi was a bit dissatisfied, “He didn’t even want to give him an official position, he’s really a piece of trash. Others begged to be an official, and after ten years of hard work, he only signed his name on the golden list for one dynasty. , Tell me clearly that he is not that material."

"He wants to leave, but I don't want him to go." Li Qi picked up the ink brush and said lightly, "He is a waste, I...but I just want to keep him to make me happy."

Seeing the emperor's obvious paranoia, Xiao Dezi could only sigh secretly.It is obvious that the emperor has good intentions, but he is unwilling to let Mr. Zhuang know.He always keeps saying that Mr. Zhuang is a dude, so it's no wonder Mr. Zhuang is happy.

The emperor made decisive decisions and acted wisely. Why did the matter with Mr. Zhuang be like this, uh, it made him, an eunuch, feel entangled and uncomfortable?

The author has something to say: Hey, Xiao Gong really cares about Xiao Yuanzi, who will let the system die, right?

In the next chapter, Xiaogong will go to see Yuanzi again... Guess what will happen
