All the people in the inn lobby were squeezed out, surrounding the two young eunuchs.

When the young eunuch saw Zhu Xiuyuan, the arrogant look on his face immediately disappeared. He bowed and said with a smile: "Oh, Mr. Zhu, I can't talk about advice. The two of us are just running errands for His Highness the Crown Prince, haha."

"You two father-in-laws are too polite. I wonder if your Royal Highness..."

"Master Zhu, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked our family to present this gift to Master Zhu."

The little eunuch took out a brand new book, tied it with silk cloth, held it in both hands and handed it to Zhu Xiuyuan.

Zhu Xiuyuan was puzzled and took it blankly.

His Royal Highness actually sent a book?

What kind of book is this? Is there anything special about it?

Zhu Xiuyuan took a cursory glance and saw that the book was in a tube and tied with silk. Only the blue cover could be seen, but no words were written on the cover.

"Since it is a gift from His Highness the Crown Prince, I dare not refuse. Please ask the two father-in-laws to thank His Highness the Crown Prince on your behalf!"

"It's easy to talk, I wish you're welcome, sir..."

"If you two father-in-laws are not in a hurry to go back, why don't you stay and have a cup of tea?"

"No, no, sir, His Royal Highness is still waiting for our family to return home! Sir, farewell!"

"Two father-in-laws, walk slowly..."

After seeing off the two East Palace eunuchs, Zhu Xiuyuan glanced at the book again.

There are too many people here to see what is so wonderful about this book.

So he returned to his room, where the Dong sisters were waiting safely.

"Husband, what does the eunuch of the East Palace want from you?" Dong Shuzhen asked.

"It's no big deal, I just sent a book."

"What book is it?" Dong Shuyu asked.

"I'm just wondering..."

In front of the Dong sisters, Zhu Xiuyuan directly opened the silk cloth binding the book, unfolded it, and saw a line of words on the cover: "To Zhu Xiuyuan."

The signature is "Liu Shen".

Liu Shen is the prince's name.

The three people gathered together and looked at each other.

This book has no title, but the words "Blessing for Xiuyuan" are written on the cover.

This shows what?

This shows that this book is most likely handwritten by His Highness the Crown Prince, or it may be a book printed and bound by the East Palace itself, which is not sold outside.

Zhu Xiuyuan suppressed the doubts in his heart and turned the page...

"This... what is this? It's a mess and I can't understand it!" Dong Shuzhen complained.

Zhu Xiuyuan was also puzzled, because he couldn't understand what the... symbol was written on it? ""

Call it a character, but it doesn't look like it. Call it a ghost talisman, but it seems to have a certain pattern...

"This is..." Dong Shuyu picked up the book and looked at it carefully, and finally said with certainty: "Xiuyuan, Zhen'er, this is the music score!"

"Piano score!?"

Dong Shuzhen was surprised, while Zhu Xiuyuan was shocked.

Music score? His Royal Highness actually gave him a copy of music score?

What does this mean? He can't play the piano at all.

He had never even come into contact with the musical notation of later generations, let alone such a mess of musical notation symbols.

His Royal Highness... is really... really weird!

…

The next day.

Zhu Xiuyuan and his party set off again and headed straight for Yixing County, Changzhou.

Although Health City is prosperous, it is not a place to stay for a long time after all!

To get to Yixing County, you can choose either land or water route.

Considering Dong Shuzhen's seasickness, everyone chose to take the land route and took a carriage along the official road straight to Yixing County.

The group stayed in Yixing County for a day, and Zhu Xiuyuan personally entered the mine to confirm the purple sand mine...

The next day, they set off again and headed for Jiangzhou.

Because Dong Shuzhen was afraid of seasickness, they took the land route all the way.

After several days of turbulence, we finally returned to Jiangzhou.

After Zhu Xiuyuan and the others returned to Dong Mansion, they found out that Emperor Chen's reward had been delivered two days ago.

There are so many categories of gold and silver jewelry, silks and cloths, grain, salt and oil, that the warehouse of the Dong Mansion is almost full!

However, the biggest harvest this time is not the large number of rewards, these are just the icing on the cake at best.

The real highlight is the position of governor of Jiangzhou and Sima of Jiangzhou.

Of course, there is also the death-free gold medal that Zhu Xiuyuan won.

…

…

Three days later.

In Jiangzhou City, Xue Mansion.

"hateful!"

In the back hall of Xue Mansion, an extremely angry shout suddenly burst out.

Wow!

Then there was a sound of breaking porcelain.

The person who was so angry that he drank and threw the cup was Xue Baochang, the head of the Xue family.

His eyes were wide with anger, his face was stern, his two fists were clenched under his long sleeves, his veins were bulging, and his heavy breathing made his beard twitch under his chin.

He was really angry and could not control his anger.

"Grandpa, please calm down!"

Beside Xue Baochang, a junior in his early teens bent down and held his hand.

Unlike Xue Baochang, this junior's face was extremely calm.

Xue Baochang was furious, shouted angrily, and broke a tea cup, making a huge noise, frightening the servants waiting in the hall out of their wits, and they all fell to their knees on the ground.

However, this junior was not affected in the slightest. His face remained calm, making him appear to be in a very deep city.

Xue Baochang was still furious. He glanced sideways at the younger generation and said angrily: "I can't stop being angry! That old thief Dong Cheng, it's fine if he doesn't marry my Xue family. His Dong family will buy his new tea.

I, the Xue family, are our tea merchants, so the water in the well does not interfere with the river, but it has nothing to do with each other."

"But the old thief Dong Cheng went too far. He openly broke the centuries-old rules and created a 'Dong Gong Scale'. He also sent Yamen Prefecture soldiers to guard the intersection of the tea garden..."

Xue Baochang got angry and seemed to feel better.

He then looked at the younger generation and said, "Yuan'er, you have always been a mature person. How can you think of a way to deal with this situation? If things continue like this, our Defu Tea Shop will probably close down."

That younger generation was named "Xue Yuan", and he was the eldest grandson of Xue Baochang, the head of the Xue family.

Xue Yuan was young and mature, and full of wisdom. It was precisely because of Xue Yuan's advice and suggestions that the Xue family was able to rise rapidly and become one of the largest tea merchants in Jiangzhou.

Although Xue Baochang is a grandfather and an elder, he often asks Xue Yuan for advice.

Xue Yuan looked calm and relaxed, and said with cupped hands: "Grandpa, after the plague half a month ago, the Dong family not only took over the thrones of Jiangzhou Governor, Changshi, and Sima, but also won the Poyang King, Yang Tingyu,

Even the favor of the one in the palace!"

Xue Baochang glanced at the calm Xue Yuan. Although he didn't want to believe it, the facts were indeed what his eldest grandson said.

He couldn't help but sigh.

I remember that at the beginning, the Xue family followed Fang Tang, Hua Chaoshi, Wan Qian and others to hide in the back house of the Yamen. Their plan was so perfect. They could have eliminated Dong Cheng, the palace steward, in one fell swoop.
