Chapter 84 No More
Zhu Yuhuan naturally had no idea about the twists and turns in Zhu Zhanji's mind. Now everyone in the palace was busy with Zhu Zhanji's ascension to the throne, so Zhu Yuhuan took the opportunity to return to the East Palace.
The harem is in a sensitive location, making it inconvenient to study and practice martial arts, let alone go to the greenhouse. Moreover, Zhu Yuhuan was worried about leaving Hu Shanxiang and Zhu Youtong, mother and daughter, in the East Palace. It would be better for him to return to his own nest, where he would feel more at ease.
Zhu Youtong looked at Zhu Yuhuan who was buried in the study and asked curiously, "Sister, what are you doing? You've been writing and drawing since you came back."
Zhu Yuhuan said with a smile: "Of course I will prepare something interesting."
"What?"
Zhu Yuhuan looked at the paper in his hand and said with a smile, "Something that can make money."
"Making money?" Zhu Youtong pondered for a moment and said, "Is it the stones in the box that mother gave to my sister last time?"
"That's right." Zhu Yuhuan said contentedly, "Dad pays for the craftsmen anyway, so I might as well use the money Mom gave me to do something else."
"What's going on?"
Zhu Yuhuan patted his sister's shoulder and said, "Tongtong, do you know what mother and we need most?"
"What?"
Zhu Yuhuan said seriously: "Labor. Only labor can give us economic strength, so that we can refuse things we don't want to do at the right time."
"Labor? Economic strength?"
Huai En, who was standing next to him, saw Zhu Youtong's bewildered expression and explained according to his own understanding: "The princess must mean that only with money can you do what you like."
Zhu Youtong suddenly realized, and then showed admiration to Huai En, saying: "Huai En, you are really amazing, I have never heard of any of the words my sister said!"
Zhu Yuhuan smiled and said, "Tongtong, one day you will understand... many people will understand this."
Zhu Yuhuan's idea was to find an opportunity to set up some personal business, which would not only allow him to make some money, but also help him understand the outside world a little.
I wonder if Zhu Yuhuan would have the opportunity to leave the palace and see the outside world after Zhu Zhanji ascended the throne.
As for what Zhu Yuhuan wrote, it was naturally about the basic production methods of soap, perfumed soap and sugar. Zhu Yuhuan had played with handmade soap and had some understanding of it, while Zhu Yuhuan saw sugar in a novel.
Thanks to the great predecessors who traveled through time, they left a valuable legacy to Zhu Yuhuan, who loves reading novels, in a special way. In addition, Zhu Yuhuan also roughly remembers some methods of making cement, sand and even glass. If she can return to the modern era in the future, she will never complain about others being Raven again. At least it is still useful to her.
However, Zhu Yuhuan could not guarantee that the methods he remembered were completely correct, so he had to find someone to help him trial and error. It would be too ostentatious to do it inside the palace, so it would be better to do it outside the palace.
This requires that the person must be reliable enough and be able to enter and leave the palace freely on weekdays without anyone noticing anything unusual.
This person is naturally Zhu Yuhuan’s fifth uncle Zhu Zhanji.
Zhu Gaochi had previously appointed Zhu Zhanji as King of Xiang, and he did not have to go to the vassal state for the time being. Not only did Zhu Zhanji have his own mansion outside the palace, he could also go in and out frequently without attracting other people's attention.
These small businesses were harmless enough. After all, when Zhu Zhanji was crowned king, he already had his own estates and properties, so it wouldn't be a big deal to have a few more small businesses under his name.
More importantly, Zhu Zhanji was very clear about what could be said and what could not be said, and he was very interested in new things and would not oppose them from the beginning.
Zhu Yuhuan naturally did not intend to keep the secret hidden from the Zhu family, who were all very shrewd people. As time went on, the secret would eventually be exposed, not to mention that Zhu Zhanji was also very cautious.
Zhu Yuhuan naturally had her reasons, which was that these were just methods she came up with herself, and she was not sure whether they were really effective, so she wanted to ask Zhu Zhanji to try them outside the palace to see if they were effective.
When Zhu Zhanji was relieved, Zhu Yuhuan invested a small portion of Hu Shanxiang's money, and when Zhu Yuhuan was able to leave the palace in the future, he would take care of these affairs personally.
Zhu Yuhuan's idea was perfect, but now Zhu Zhanji's ascension to the throne was the most important thing. In addition, Zhu Yuhuan had a lot of things to do, so he naturally could not meet Zhu Zhanji in the palace as often as before.
Zhu Yuhuan was thinking about his own affairs, but he did not forget to observe the states of Hu Shanxiang, Sun Mengqiu and Wu Miaosu. They were surprisingly calm. Sun Mengqiu even often visited Wu Miaosu and seemed to have become good friends with her.
Zhu Yuhuan could understand Sun Mengqiu's change of mentality, but "one must always be on guard against others." Not only Zhu Yuhuan should pay attention to this, but Wu Miaosu should also.
After all, she still has a relationship with the King of Han. Only when the King of Han dies can Wu Miaosu get a temporary respite.
"Don't worry, Princess. Miaosu remembers all of this. She is extremely careful in answering Concubine Sun's questions and rarely mentions the past, only talking about her interests and hobbies."
Seeing Wu Miaosu looking at him eagerly, Zhu Yuhuan sighed and said, "Don't worry, I heard from the master that your brother is doing well in the army and has become much healthier. There is also news about your mother from time to time. I believe that the King of Han is treating your mother well for your sake. Now she doesn't have to do the rough labor like before."
Wu Miaosu's eyes were slightly red, and after a long while she spoke, "Thank you so much, Princess... Miaosu has no way to repay you..."
Zhu Yuhuan said hurriedly: "It's not my own achievement, you don't have to mind it so much. After all, you are my aunt's apprentice, so I can't just sit back and watch."
Wu Miaosu held her sincere eyes for a long moment before she spoke, "Miaosu understands that the princess, like Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess, only seeks to do things with a clear conscience and doesn't care whether others repay her."
Zhu Yuhuan rubbed his head and then said, "I understand the feeling of wanting to do everything in my power to thank someone... I don't need you to do too much for this. Even if you just say a few words for me, it will be enough. There's no need to dwell on it. It will make both of us uncomfortable."
Wu Miaosu bowed solemnly and said, "Okay."
Zhu Yuhuan looked at her for a long time before he took out the various methods he had written before and said, "Miaosu, take a look at these."
She didn't have much confidence in herself, but she had great trust in people who had lived on her side in this era, such as Wu Miaosu, who had done farm work and lived a hard life, and had some understanding of these things, and should be able to offer a lot of suggestions.
Wu Miaosu was slightly startled. She reached out to take the papers and glanced through them. She couldn't help but reveal a look of surprise. She asked, "I have heard of some folk remedies, but this is the first time I've seen what the princess has written. It seems quite possible."
Zhu Yuhuan couldn't help but smile when he saw her eyes light up, just like when she first saw the music box.
Wu Miaosu couldn't help but sigh softly, "If I were still a court lady, I could follow the princess like I did back then and witness these things that I've never heard of or seen before."
After she said this, Zhu Yuhuan couldn't help but feel that things had changed. She quickly put all this behind her and said, "Next year we will change the reign, and there is no need to mention some things anymore."
Wu Miaosu also echoed: "Yes...it's all in the past..."
Zhu Yuhuan quickly stopped him and asked, "Compared to all this, how is Concubine Sun doing lately? I see she's just recovered, and she's been looking for you quite frequently."
Wu Miaosu shook her head and said, "No, but someone followed me secretly."
