The environment in the inn is not that good.
The matching tables and chairs look very old, and the sign on the wall used to record the menu is also very old, but it seems that the place has been carefully taken care of every day, not to say it is spotless, but it is still clean and tidy.
Even so, the eyes of the several ministers who were brought along for the purpose of nearby surveillance also showed disgust for this "shabby inn".
Shock, contempt, amusement, joy...
All kinds of emotions overlapped together, making Gu Ruizhou a little confused about the situation in front of him.
"Here, here, please put the fruit drinks here!"
Jiang Yingcheng didn't notice the change in everyone's expressions. He only looked at the fruit drink in the shopkeeper's hand excitedly and kept waving his little hands.
[Please show it off to Chengcheng's mouth!]
Gu Ruizhou gathered his thoughts and walked towards the little guy.
He tried his best to breathe calmly. "Your Majesty, please take your time."
The porcelain hit the table and made a crisp "click" sound, as if a switch was pressed in this excessively quiet environment. Everyone was finally called back to some of their minds and escaped from the stiff state.
should...
They have the same name, right?
There are more than ten people named Gu Ruizhou in this world--
I think back then, after Gu Ruizhou, who was famous all over the world, died, Great Rui set off a very strange wave of "commemoration".
Newborn babies are named Ruizhou, and enlightened students are named Ruizhou. Even adult men, many of them ignore their family tree and forcibly change their name to Ruizhou.
Cen Prefecture, as the hometown of Gu Ruizhou, is the "hardest hit area" of this wave.
Among the "Auspicious Boats" of no less than a hundred people, there are always a few named Gu...
Right?
Jiang Yanchuan personally filled the cup with tea, and then poured the little guy a glass of fruit drink.
His movements were indescribably lazy and casual, and he was very noble.
After the little guy drank it happily, Jiang Yanchuan slowly turned around and asked casually, "How long will the meal last?"
Gu Ruizhou came back to his senses and said, "In just one more stick of incense, we will be able to present them one after another."
Jiang Yanchuan said "Hmm" casually. "As soon as possible."
The biscuit in the little guy's hand has never been broken. If she is allowed to eat like this again, I'm afraid she won't be able to eat again later.
It's not that he never thought about asking the little guy to stop, but every time he spoke, the little guy would raise his head with tears in his eyes and say in an aggrieved voice that he was "very hungry."
Jiang Yanchuan There is nothing you can do against her.
Gu Ruizhou had no choice but to ignore the strange looks from this group of people and turned back to the kitchen to continue helping.
Everyone's eyes were fixed on Gu Ruizhou until they confirmed that he had completely left, then they looked sternly at the small figure next to Emperor Mingze.
Cen Prefecture people, what next?!
What does this have to do with the "original" Cen Prefecture person Gu Ruizhou?!
Jiang Yanchuan moved his slender fingers slightly and poured himself a glass as usual.
He lowered his eyes to look at the pale pink fruit drink in the cup, and his thoughts slowly spread along with the fine ripples on the water's surface.
Cen Prefecture Gu Ruizhou, Gu the Just.
He is honest, loves the people, is humble, and resourceful.
His knowledge is comparable to that of Liu Hongfei, but he doesn't have the airs of a scholar who drops his book bag.
If you have to say what shortcomings this person has--
He is determined Prince Jing Faction.
As far as he knew, Gu Ruizhou's shadow was behind several of the political achievements that Prince Jing had done that won the hearts of the people.
However, this man's carefree life ended in a fire.
In the spring of Tianqi Year Seven, Gu Ruizhou, who had already ascended the stage, suddenly dismissed all the servants in the family, and then a fire lit Chancellor's Residence at that time.
The fire burned all night and was barely extinguished until the next morning.
It is said that at that time, everyone found the Jiao body in Chancellor's Residence's study, with the same physical features as Gu Ruizhou. Therefore, although there were many doubts about this matter, the case could only be closed hastily.
Just...
If this shopkeeper is Chancellor Gu Ruizhou, his appearance and temperament have changed a lot.
Jiang Yingcheng didn't know what everyone was thinking. After happily sipping the fruit drink in her hand, she grabbed a small biscuit and then got back into the business of eating melons.
[I Kang Kang I Kang Kang...Cen Prefecture Gu Ruizhou, and then what...]
The ministers were breathing rapidly: Then what, then what?!
[Ouch!!]
Jiang Yingcheng's eyes suddenly widened: [This shopkeeper, he was once the prime minister?!]
Ministry of Rites Minister Chu Jiaxu, who wanted to use crude tea to relieve the itchiness in his throat, took another sip of tea.
Minister of Personnel Chu Dong on the opposite side was too frightened to dodge, and was forced to be showered in a tea-scented rain.
"Cheng--Uh-huh..." Virtue-Returning General Lei Zhixin almost screamed, but Yuan Liangping sitting next to him covered his mouth.
The courtier who couldn't hear the little guy's voice looked at the few people suspiciously. Yuan Liangping smiled calmly with experience and said in an exaggerated voice, "You don't want to 'rain' too, do you? General Lei, Yuan is a firm believer in sunny weather."
Chu Jiaxu, who just apologized to Chu Dong: "..."
Lei Zhixin, who hadn't even had time to drink tea yet. "..."
The courtiers who couldn't hear the little guy's voice looked away indifferently, and all the Upright Officials who could hear the little guy's voice breathed a sigh of relief, and then suddenly raised their heads in the next breath.
[Hey hey hey~]
[The prime minister turned out to be the innkeeper today...]
[There is melon! There must be melon in this!]
Jiang Yingcheng I didn't know about this man's great achievements in the past, so I only picked the part that I was most interested in, and turned to the end of the information to find the answer to the question.
After Gu Ruizhou arrived at Qu Chun, he had been doing his inn business step by step. The information provided by the system was passed by in just a few strokes. Jiang Yingcheng only casually browsed twice and saw the information related to the fire.
Then, just one glance--
[Eh!!]
[Such a luxurious house, just, just burned down?!]
In Great Rui, after a courtier's official position reaches a certain level, the court will personally grant him a residence based on his official position and specific circumstances.
The situation of Gu Ruizhou is quite special.
He never married or took any concubines, but because of his position as prime minister, the court still allocated him a very spacious house.
Chancellor's Residence has three entrances and three exits. It is located in the best area in central Beijing. After renovation, it is currently occupied by Right Chancellor Tan Wenhan who does not believe in ghosts and gods.
Jiang Yingcheng counted the repair costs displayed on the panel with his chubby little hands. The more he counted, the angrier he became!
[That, that is my beauty Imperial Father's money, why should he burn it?!!]
[Damn it! Chengcheng must give me all the beauty Imperial Father back!!]
Was that the court's money that he burned?!
No!
That's her life!!
Jiang Yanchuan:"..."
A crowd of people waiting for the big melon Upright Officials: "..."
Ah???
