When Li Quan heard what Zhu Gaoxu said, there was no ink mark. He stood up and said directly to Zhu Gaoxu: "Young master, you don't know something. I have entered Prince Yan's Mansion ten years ago."

"At that time, Prince Yan's family business in Kyoto was not big. There were only three shops at that time, and Xiaoren was the shopkeeper of one of them."

"Originally, the villain can be regarded as a domestic slave of Prince Yan's Mansion. In addition, he is also the shopkeeper of a restaurant, so his life is quite comfortable."

"But who would have thought that by chance, I met the child's mother. The prince has always been tolerant to his servants and allowed me to start a family."

As he spoke, Li Quan glanced at his daughter beside him.

However, Zhu Gaoxu saw a hint of gloom in the little girl's eyes, and Zhu Gaoxu guessed that Li Quan's wife was gone.

Sure enough, it was exactly as Zhu Gaoxu had guessed.

"His mother is the daughter of an ordinary family in the capital. However, a large family fell in love with her before and wanted to marry her as a concubine. Her mother did not agree. In addition, she and I were in love, so the two of us discussed it and I

I took the bride price to her house and proposed marriage."

"Because of this, I was hated by that big family. He didn't dare to go against the palace, but it was too easy to bully a small slave like me."

Speaking of this, Li Quan must have thought of something sad, and his voice became a little more choked up for a moment.

"As one of the three shopkeepers of Prince Yan's Mansion, I naturally blocked the way of many people at that time, and many people were jealous of me."

"So I was in all kinds of troubles for a while, and naturally I couldn't become the manager of the restaurant."

"Later, when her mother was giving birth to her, she died in childbirth. For the sake of the child, I begged Butler Wang to give me another job abroad."

"At that time, the palace's family business was getting bigger and bigger. Butler Wang saw that it was not easy for me to raise a child alone, and I was literate and had previous experience as a shopkeeper, so he sent me here."

Speaking of this, Li Quan may have thought of his late wife, and tears could not stop flowing from his eyes.

Zhu Gaoxu also knew some of Li Quan's previous experiences and did not disturb Li Quan. Zhu Gaoxu nodded and motioned for Li Quan to continue.

After Li Quan reached out to wipe his tears, he continued: "When I came to this grocery store, I was quite satisfied. I thought about how much money I could make by running it in a down-to-earth manner, but at least I could live a decent life.

Come on, it will be a good job in the palace."

"But no matter what, the tree wants to be quiet but the wind is still blowing. Some of the former sworn enemies in the palace saw that I went out to be the shopkeeper again, so they ganged up to plot against me."

"I originally ran a grocery store, and I had some commonly used items in the palace, so they asked me to use the collected goods to deliver them to the palace. In fact, the prince had already gone away, and Prince Yan's palace was not that good at all.

It costs more, but these people still make things difficult for me.”

"They withheld half of the goods I received, and the other half allowed me to barely survive."

"So after all these years, although this store can still barely maintain its storefront, it really doesn't have much money left."

When Zhu Gaoxu heard this, he finally understood.

The struggle between servants.

Can't tell who is right and who is wrong.

Each class has its own way of survival, and Zhu Gaoxu is not qualified to comment on the intrigues among the servants.

If you don't know the pain, how can you dare to say it's wrong?

Zhu Gaoxu nodded, knowing the general situation, and did not delve into it further.

"That's the end of this matter. I don't want to get involved in the matters inside, but now I am in charge of this store. If there are still people who are entangled with you for whatever reason, you can tell me!"

Zhu Gaoxu didn't intend to care about what happened before, but Zhu Gaoxu couldn't let some servants ruin his good deeds.

After saying this, Zhu Gaoxu stood up and headed to the backyard.

This time Li Quan did not stop him and followed Zhu Gaoxu respectfully.

The backyard is not big, but not small either.

There are two side rooms on the left and right, and the main room is in the middle.

Zhu Gaoxu went inside and looked at them one by one, feeling increasingly satisfied.

"That's right! I won't move the house and leave it to you and your daughter. I'll clean up the wing. I'll send someone to repair it later."

Li Quan did not dare to object, nodded, and waited behind Zhu Gaoxu to continue his instructions.

There was only such a big store in total. What did Zhu Gaoxu have to say? After finishing what he had to say, Zhu Gaoxu left another hundred taels of silver and then left the grocery store.

From beginning to end, Zhu Gaoxu never told Li Quan what he planned to buy.

Of course Li Quan didn't dare to ask.

In this way, Li Quan watched Zhu Gaoxu go further and further away until he disappeared at the end of the road. Then he did not dare to delay. He first closed the store and then started to find someone to decorate the store.

As for Zhu Gaoxu, he did not return to the military camp immediately.

Zhu Gaoxu was relieved to have Mao Xiang there. Next, he turned around and went to the Ministry of Industry.

Arriving at the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry, after Zhu Gaoxu entered, a clerk immediately came forward to greet him.

"What instructions does His Highness have when you come here?"

Zhu Gaoxu is relatively well-known in the Ministry of Industry. After all, he often came to the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry to see Yan Zhenzhi.

But now that Yan Zhen is locked up, he can only ask others to do it this time.
