"No, no." Before she even finished her words, Ming Chuji shook his head like a rattle, "I have absolutely not done anything to let my sister down, not in the past and not in the future. If I have, then let me..."
He was about to curse, but unfortunately Tu Qingyu didn't give him the chance to say it.
"Okay, okay, I believe you."
After the two of them stayed together for a while, they quickly packed up and left the palace.
Following Tu Qingyu were still her four maids.
Now, they are the head maids of Fengyi Palace.
"Cake! Freshly baked cake!"
"Wontons! Wontons with thin skin and big fillings!"
"Tanghulu! Tanghulu——!"
…
The East Market in the capital was bustling with people and the sounds of hawkers were endless.
Ming Chuji protected Tu Qingyu as they moved through the crowd.
He frowned and said, "Sister, there are too many people here, let's..."
In fact, he didn't really want to come to such a mixed place with Tu Qingyu. It was okay for him, but he was afraid that Tu Qingyu would be bumped into by someone.
"Don't be afraid." Tu Qingyu patted the back of his hand, "Sister will protect you."
"Sister, this is not..." a question of whether to protect or not.
"I know, I know." Tu Qingyu interrupted him and pulled him towards the wonton stall, "Let me try the difference between Daxia's wontons and Daliang's."
Speaking of this, she suddenly remembered something.
She turned to look at Chunlan, "My shops..."
Chunlan wiped the stools at her wonton stall and said, "Master, all those shops have been moved here according to your instructions. They have been doing very well in Daxia this year. Do you want to go and take a look later?"
"good."
That's fine. When we first left, the most troublesome thing was the shop.
After all, this doesn't look like a dowry and can be directly put into the space.
After the two sat down, the boss came over and said, "My dear guests, would you like two bowls of wontons?"
Ming Chuji nodded and said, "Two bowls of wontons."
"Okay, please wait a moment, the wontons will be here soon."
The boss was a woman in her forties, wearing a brown shorts and moving in a very efficient manner.
Tu Qingyu looked at the busy streets around him with interest.
"What are you looking at, sister?" Ming Chuji asked as he looked at the corners of her mouth slowly rising.
She replied as a matter of course, "I'm watching the world you govern."
This sounded like a compliment, but Ming Chuji felt a bit embarrassed. "I've only been in charge for a year, so I can't say I've managed the place well. It's all thanks to my father."
When he returned, the old emperor of Daxia was already dying.
Suddenly finding his only son, the old emperor wanted to pour all his fatherly love on him.
Sometimes, I would even find him at his house at night and sleep next to him.
At the same time, the old emperor also knew that he might not have much time left, so he was very strict when teaching Ming Chuji the ways of being an emperor.
Even though Ming Chuji was very smart and studied very hard, he would still be hit on the palm with a ruler from time to time.
In Ming Chuji's heart, his biological father, with whom he had only lived for a few months, was kind but also strict.
But what impressed him most was that he was a wise ruler.
Tu Qingyu nodded in agreement, "Your father is indeed a wise ruler."
"Do you know what I was looking at?" she asked.
Ming Chuji: "What?"
Tu Qingyu: "I'm watching the people coming and going on the streets doing business and selling goods, and surprisingly, 30 to 40 percent of them are women."
Among these, 30 to 40 percent are young wives and unmarried girls.
This is completely impossible in Daliang.
It's okay for older people, but if a newly married woman or an unmarried girl dares to sell things like this on the street, her spine will definitely be broken.
"All this is thanks to my father. In his eyes, there is no difference between women and men. We are all human beings. There is nothing one person can do but another cannot."
Tu Qingyu: "Wow, this old emperor is quite interesting. It's a pity that I didn't get to meet him.
Dabao, is this old emperor really not a time traveler? "
Dabao: "No, Master. I guess the old emperor doesn't mean equality between men and women. He thinks women can also create value for the dynasty. Why should they be trapped in the mansion and wasted?"
Tu Qingyu: "I guess so, but it's great that he has this idea."
Many people in power actually know that letting women go out of the house may create greater value, but understanding is one thing, and being afraid of being suppressed by women is another.
"It's been a year, and you have contributed to this as well."
As soon as she finished speaking, the boss brought the wontons and placed them in front of Tu Qingyu.
"Ma'am, please try it. Our wontons are the best in this area."
"Then I have to try it carefully." Tu Qingyu replied with a smile.
"Please try it, be careful it's hot." After she said that, she turned around and brought a bowl and placed it in front of Ming Chuji.
The attendant following behind Ming Chuji looked at the wontons in front of him with some concern, "Master..."
He raised his hand to stop the words he hadn't said yet, "It's okay."
Ordinary people can eat it, but he can’t?
He scooped up one, blew on it, and put it into his mouth, which tasted delicious.
His eyes lit up after eating.
Tu Qingyu found it funny, "Is it so delicious?"
He swallowed what was in his mouth and said, "It's delicious, sister, try it."
"good."
For ordinary people, twenty copper coins for a bowl of meat-filled wontons is indeed a bit expensive.
But the meat was not cheap at that time, but the ones with vegetable fillings were cheap, only eight cents a bowl.
After the two came out of the wonton stall, they went to South Street again.
South Street is not as busy as the downtown area. There are teahouses and pubs here. It is not as crowded, but there are still many people.
They found a teahouse and had just sat down in a private room when the door was knocked open.
"My two distinguished guests, there's a guest outside who wants to see you. He says he knows you two. I wonder if you two..."
Ming Chuji frowned, "No."
"Cousin~" As soon as he finished speaking, a girl in a goose yellow dress rushed in.
She called him cousin, and her target seemed to be heading straight for Ming Chuji, but her eyes were always on Tu Qingyu.
Tu Qingyu raised her eyebrows, and Ming Chuji thought something bad was going to happen when he saw her raise her eyebrows.
When he wanted to speak up to stop them, Tu Qingyu had already waved his hand to let the irrelevant people leave.
Yu Mingyue then squatted down obediently, "Mingyue pays respects to the Emperor, cousin. Long live cousin."
After finishing speaking, he looked at Tu Qingyu again and said, "Mingyue greets my cousin, may you be well!"
When she greeted Tu Qingyu, her voice was brighter and more delicate than before.
"Get up." Tu Qingyu waved at her, "Come and sit down."
Yu Mingyue's eyes lit up, "Thank you, cousin."
Then he quickly sat next to Tu Qingyu.
Mingchu Ji:? ? ?
