the following few days.

The entire Xicheng Scenic Lake area has become a forbidden area.

Everyone knows that Taisun has hidden a beautiful lady here, but no one knows who this beautiful lady is.

Every day, Xiao Jia personally carries the food basket and delivers the food prepared by his family to the small courtyard by the lake.

This situation did not end until the afternoon of New Year's Eve.

Looking at the man who stopped in front of the lakeside pavilion on New Year's Eve, I didn't know where to get a carriage, carrying Xu Miaojin, and slowly disappeared from sight.

Zhu Yunxi finally breathed a sigh of relief.

I finally paid off this debt.

According to what that good-looking woman said.

She will follow the Xu family's shipping ship south to the Jiaozhi Road after the new year, and will never respond to the sky from now on.

The Xu family's maritime operations have done very well in recent years.

Together with several meritorious figures from Huaiyou, he was engaged in the shipping business and almost monopolized the shipping business going south in the Ming Dynasty.

However, they are all members of the same family, so they still abide by the rules. There are also people in the Household Department who have been stationed in the shipping business of these families for a long time.

Half of the profits were transferred from these companies to the Taiping Bank of the Household Department.

It was precisely because these few merchants could spend so much money to pay taxes that the court had the confidence and basis to collect higher taxes from more merchants.

People pay so much tax for their meritorious service with the country. Do you ordinary businessmen think that you are more powerful than others?

Even if the court doesn't say anything, the Xu family and those meritorious families in Huaiyou can kill the merchants who don't pay taxes or pay less taxes themselves.

Looking in the direction where the carriage disappeared.

Zhu Yunxi had some mixed feelings in his heart.

When that good-looking woman stepped out of the house today, she put her hand on her wrist.

He and Master Shan Yongnian have been familiar with each other for many years, and they are more or less familiar with the matter of taking pulses.

It's just that Zhu Yunxi is a little unsure now about the pulse he just felt.

Is it a happy pulse?

You can't just have a happy pulse in just a few days.

Zhu Yunxi's eyes were a little solemn.

But that good-looking woman said she was going to settle on Jiaozhi Road, and said that the Xu family had already built a big courtyard there.

She just wants to have a child this time and then stay in Cochin Road to raise the child by herself?

Zhu Yunxi sighed.

"Men, you should give up the idea of ​​your lower body occupying your head..."

He muttered something in a low voice, took a deep breath, and looked up at the Xicheng construction site where work had completely stopped.

There will also be a more sumptuous New Year’s Eve dinner at the construction site tonight.

Thick smoke was already rising from the shed in the middle of the construction site in the distance.

I don’t know which official on the project made the suggestion, but tonight the construction site even arranged for young ladies from a brothel in Qinhuai River to come and perform.

I heard that this was also money provided by the financier, Daming Company.

I even heard that the company asked the bank to come forward and brought in a group of musicians and dancers from the Jiaofang Division to prepare for the finale.

It is no longer Zhu Yunxi's turn to handle these matters personally.

Ever since he left the palace and returned to Taisun's Mansion, all matters in court and court had nothing to do with him. Even matters on the construction site, most of them were just a look at to make sure nothing went wrong.

I just set up a stage. As for the prosperity on the stage, that is a matter for others to organize the game.

Zhu Yunxi rubbed his hungry stomach and walked toward the cafeteria.

When he was about to walk from Huanhu Road to the canteen.

Sun Gou'er and Yutian were already waiting by the roadside in their cloaks.

Yutian stepped forward first, bowed and nodded: "Your Highness."

Zhu Yunxi nodded, looked at Sun Gou'er who had a troubled face, and smiled slightly: "Sun Daban is here to ask for red envelopes? You have to wait a little longer, and we will hand them out together in the cafeteria later."

Sun Gou'er sighed, shook his head and said: "Your Highness, you should go back to the palace for the New Year's Eve dinner today. Although you didn't go back last time for the New Year's Eve, it was not a big deal. Tonight is different..."

But Zhu Yunxi smiled: "It's not fun in the palace. If there are Jiaofang Si and Qinhuaihe's little girl in the palace tonight, then I will definitely go back."

This is obviously impossible.

The New Year's Eve dinner in the palace would at most involve an opera troupe singing.

A royal banquet must be more serious after all.

Now it is not the Sui and Tang Dynasties, where the king and his ministers can dance together, let alone the dancers and brothel girls entering the palace to perform.

The corner of Sun Gouer's mouth twitched.

"Your Majesty's place..."

Zhu Yunxi waved his hand: "There are many people in the palace. After a while, I will enter the palace to pay my respects to the old man."

His tone was calm.

Sun Gou'er saw that he could not be persuaded, so he could only nod helplessly, and finally sighed.

He took two steps back and bowed to Zhu Yunxi.

"Now that His Highness has made up his mind, I will return to the palace to resume my duties."

Zhu Yunxi hummed and glanced at Yu Tian.

The other party nodded in understanding.

Sun Gou'er raised his head, with a smile on his face, and said: "I will go ahead and wish His Highness a Happy New Year."

Zhu Yunxi also smiled: "Happy New Year, Happy New Year."

As he spoke, he took out a gold leaf from his sleeve.

Sun Gou'er did not refuse, and bowed forward with a smile on his face: "I thank Your Highness for the reward, and I will leave."

After saying that, Sun Gouer took Yu Tian back.

Zhu Yunxi continued walking towards the cafeteria.

It's just that today's journey seems destined to be unsmooth.

Go around Scenic Mountain.

Zhu Yunxi saw at the foot of the mountain, Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Shangbing were squatting on a flat stone, looking at him with gleaming eyes.

As soon as he got closer, he saw Zhu Juan coming out from behind the two of them.

"Brother Xi! Happy New Year!"

Zhu Yunxi stepped forward and patted Little Twenty-Three on the head: "Happy New Year to Uncle Twenty-Three."

Zhu Huang was clinging to Zhu Yunxi as always, his hands digging in his pockets dishonestly.

In his memory, Zhu Yunxi always had countless good things hidden in his pocket.

Zhu Gaochi looked at Zhu Yunhe indifferently.

"You're not going back tonight either?"

Zhu Yunxi frowned slightly: "Did you agree to come together? Sun Daban was in front just now, and he also asked me to return to the palace for the New Year's Eve dinner."

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Zhu Gaochi put his hands together, sniffed and said: "New Year's Eve dinner is always a family reunion dinner. It's okay if it's not in Beijing. No matter

What are your plans? Should I go back tonight?"

Zhu Yunxi smiled.

As usual, he came up with the same excuse: "There will be a performance tonight in the palace from the Jiaofang Si and the little girl from Qinhuaihe?"

Zhu Gaochi was stunned for a moment.

Then he said angrily: "If you really want to see it, I will arrange it right now. Not to mention a few little girls, you just want the entire Jiaofangsi and the little girls from Qinhuaihe to come to the palace to perform, and I will do it for you."

arrive!"

"That can't be done!" Zhu Yunxi shook his head: "How can you take away the good things of the people and keep the joy of my family for yourself? I want to have fun with the people, and have fun with the people."

Zhu Huang, who was holding Zhu Yunxi's thigh, raised his head at this time: "Brother Xi, tonight the prince's brother's reign name will be revealed. Father said, this is a big deal. Are you serious about not going back with us?"

Zhu Yunxi took out another gold leaf from his sleeve and stuffed it into Zhu Huang's arms: "Put it away, but don't let the ladies know about it. Save it for yourself and use it to marry your wife later."

A smile appeared on Zhu Huang's face, and he patted his chest with both hands: "I know! I have saved a lot!"

Those were all things Zhu Yunxi gave him from time to time in the past.

Zhu Gaochi saw that Zhu Yunxi did not respond to his words.
