Zhu Xiuyuan, who was uneasy, "escaped" all the way back to the city. Before he could return home, he met the eunuch sent by Emperor Chen and called him into the palace.

In fact, it was no big deal that Emperor Chen summoned him.

It's just "a big gathering for three days and a small gathering for two days", which shows that they attach great importance to Zhu Xiuyuan, and during the banquet, they asked about the situation of Shenlei Square and Shenlei Army Camp...

After learning that everything was going according to plan, Chen Huang was very happy.

Concubine You, who was accompanying her, was also very happy.

When they are happy, they like to reward things...

To be honest, every time Zhu Xiuyuan came out of the palace, his hands were always empty.

The thing given by Emperor Chen and Concubine You may be just a small gadget, not expensive, but it is also a kind of honor.

This alone made the civil and military officials in the entire dynasty jealous.

However, they have no choice but to ask others to be favored...

Needless to say, the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty were not only afraid of Zhu Xiuyuan, but besides hiding from him, they were also jealous!

But when it comes to this reward... Zhu Xiuyuan actually doesn't want it. It's just a small thing, but it seems like he has received a big gift.

Not worth it.

And Emperor Chen always thought about giving Zhu Xiuyuan a few court dancers as a reward, and asking him to drag a few of them home after drinking...

This has almost become an obsession of Chen Huang.

But fortunately, Concubine You was there and "the danger was saved" every time.

…

After returning from the palace, Zhu Xiuyuan had nothing to do, so he ran to help Dong Shuyu and Dong Shuzhen.

Prepare the food for the Winter Solstice, make dumplings together, chaos and so on.

It's quite fun when everyone does it together.

But as soon as he sat down, Zhu Xiuyuan left because King Zhenze and his eldest son Liu Wencai came to visit together.

As the master of the mansion, Zhu Xiuyuan naturally needs to entertain guests.

…

The gate of the uncle's mansion.

"Your Majesty is here, and my humble abode is really full of splendor. It would be rude not to welcome him from afar."

Zhu Xiuyuan went out to greet him personally.

This King Zhenze is a prince, and Zhu Xiuyuan is an earl, and there is a marquis in the middle...

There was a huge disparity in status between the two, so Zhu Xiuyuan went out to greet him in person, which was the only way to treat guests.

"My dear nephew, you're welcome!"

King Zhenze had the belly of a general, and he was dressed in casual clothes, but he couldn't hide his belly at all.

In addition, he was wide and fat, and when he waved his hand, he saw that the five thick fingers were covered with various gemstone rings, shining like stars.

He doesn't look like a military commander at all, but more like a rich man or something like a member of the military.

"Brother Liu!"

Zhu Xiuyuan bowed his hand to Liu Wencai again.

"Blessings, brother!"

Liu Wencai returned the gift with a smile on his face, but he was much more reserved than before, probably because his father was here.

Zhu Xiuyuan personally took the distinguished guests to the flower hall of the main house, seated the guests and hosts separately, and served tea to the guests.

"In the court, the prince Younai will take care of you. If the prince has anything to do, he can just send a letter or send a servant from the palace..."

"Your Majesty came to visit in person, and I was really frightened... But I didn't know that Your Majesty and Brother Liu came hand in hand. Could it be that there is something big and important?"

Zhu Xiuyuan asked politely.

"My nephew's guess is good. There is indeed something big..."

King Zhenze was only halfway through what he said, but he stopped, picked up the teacup, and took a small sip.

Then he sighed: "Haha, the tea at my nephew's house is delicious!"

After he finished speaking, he couldn't help but glance at his eldest son Liu Wencai.

But he saw Liu Wencai sitting there upright, motionless, his eyes were unfocused, and he seemed to be in a state of wandering.

When he saw Liu Wencai's ghostly appearance, King Zhenze frowned.

Boom!

He put the tea cup on the coffee table, stretched out his legs and feet, and kicked Liu Wencai's feet.

"Ah...Father..."

Liu Wencai came back to his senses, stood up in a hurry, and stood in front of King Zhenze.

And with a flattering smile on his face, he said: "Father...what are your orders?"

When King Zhenze saw Liu Wencai's flattering smile, he felt very angry.

His thick fingers were "starry", but at this moment they grabbed the clothes on his knees, clenched them into fists, and were eager to try...

However, King Zhenze also knew that this was not a good place to teach the prince, so he endured it.

He just stared at him with a pair of eyes, hating that iron could not become steel.

Liu Wencai was naturally alert, so he quickly took a step back and distanced himself.

Then he looked at his father cautiously, with a bitter look on his face. He didn't know what happened, but he made his father unhappy again...

King Zhenze glared at Liu Wencai fiercely again, feeling tired.

"My dear nephew, I was lucky enough to buy a set of purple clay teapots at yesterday's auction..."

Helpless, King Zhenze had no choice but to speak on his own.

…

The huge purple clay teapot auction in Beijing ended yesterday!

The auction site was really lively!

The competition was extremely fierce, and the young men in various high-ranking government offices fought fiercely and spent huge sums of money.

For ten sets of purple clay teapots, the transaction price is pushed up a level every time...

Through this auction, Dong's Tea House naturally made a lot of money.

Those high-ranking officials who took pictures of a set of purple clay teapots were naturally satisfied...

There are only ten sets in the whole world, but they can own one. This is a great honor and a symbol of status...

And the people who came to watch the excitement were also happy. This was simply a grand event, good news for those who love to join in the fun!

…

Liu Wencai was not an idiot. As soon as he heard his father mention the words "purple clay teapot", he immediately remembered it.

He and his father came to visit Zhu Xiuyuan, what exactly was going on!

He cursed himself secretly and took up the topic.

He smiled at Zhu Xiuyuan and said, "Brother Zhu, when my father and I come to visit you, we don't go to the Three Treasures Palace for anything. We have a business and we want to cooperate with Brother Zhu."

"Business... cooperation?"

A big deal?

At this time, Zhu Xiuyuan came back to his senses from his confusion.

The father and son, King Zhenze and Liu Wencai...are really a top-notch father and son!

"Yes! The purple clay pot is made of beautiful jade and has a beautiful shape. My father likes it very much. All night last night, my father slept with the purple clay pot in his arms..."

Snapped!

Suddenly there was a green sound, which was particularly clear in this flower hall.

But it turned out that it was King Zhenze who waved his "starry" palm and hit Liu Wencai on the back of his head.

"Ah...Father..."

Liu Wencai covered the back of her head and hurriedly took several steps away...

Zhu Xiuyuan sat there, completely petrified.

He stared blankly at this pair of top-notch father and son.

"You beast, what nonsense are you talking about!"

King Zhenze slapped Liu Wencai, but he was still angry and wanted to catch up and continue beating him.
To be continued...
