At this moment, the Jinyi guards accompanying him had quietly guarded the important positions around him. Zhu Qiyu took two steps forward and stood in front of Zhu Jianshen, but instead of answering him directly, he asked.
"Brother Shen, do you know how much money you always have?"
Zhu Jianshen shook his head in confusion. As the noble Crown Prince, he did not need to know these things, and it was impossible for anyone to tell him these things.
After thinking about it, Zhu Qiyu bent down, pointed at the clothes on Zhu Jianshen's body, and said.
"The cloak you are wearing is worth at least thirty pieces, and the jade hanging on your body, if you exchange money to make cloaks, you can make at least ten pieces."
"But now, if you have a living person in front of you, as long as you have a lot of money, a hundred of them combined can't compare to this piece of jade on your body!"
When he said this, Zhu Qiyu's tone was very complicated, but it was obvious that Zhu Jianshen could not understand. His limited understanding allowed him to only understand that the clothes and jade pendants on his body were very valuable, and they were much more expensive than the one he was holding just now. The little girl he cried must be precious.
So, gritting his teeth, Zhu Jianshen raised his head and said.
"Uncle Emperor, if I give her this jade pendant, will she not have to sell herself?"
"Do you want to?"
Zhu Qiyu touched Zhu Jianshen's head, with a gentle smile on his face and asked.
"If I remember correctly, this jade pendant was given to you by your imperial grandmother, right?"
The things that can be hung on the prince Zhu Jianshen are naturally of no ordinary quality. The jade pendant he carries with him is one of the gifts given to him by the Empress Dowager Sun when he was granted the title of prince. It is of great significance to Zhu Jianshen.
Hearing this, Zhu Jianshen showed a trace of struggle on his little face, but in the end, he took off the jade pendant on his body, then turned around and walked to the little girl and said.
"Here, this is the jade pendant given to me by the Imperial Grandmother. The Imperial Uncle said it is worth a lot of money. I will give it to you in exchange for money. You don't have to sell yourself!"
The little girl originally thought there was no hope and was sitting on the ground crying. Now she raised her head and saw this noble young man holding a beautiful stone in his hand.
She had never seen such a precious jade pendant, but just by looking at the beautiful patterns carved on it, she knew that this stone must be valuable.
"Thank you for your kindness, young master, but it is too expensive. I don't want it. I just ask that the young master can give me a lot of money to buy a coffin for my mother. From now on, I will be a slave and a maid to repay the young master. "
Ah this...
Zhu Jianshen was a little troubled.
He wanted to help the little girl in front of him, but he had no money. He finally came up with a way, but she didn't want her. Now, the prince didn't know what to do.
Fortunately, at this time, Zhu Qiyu who was behind finally did not continue to stand by and watch, but walked over, came to the little girl, and said.
"Are you worried that this jade pendant is too valuable and you won't be able to keep it?"
"If it's because of this, you don't have to worry. No one dares to snatch the things that Brother Shen gave you. Just take them and exchange them for money at any pawn shop. You can exchange them for at least three hundred guan. With this money, you can You can bury your mother properly, and then go and join your relatives properly."
"Although these three hundred strings cannot guarantee your food and clothing, it can at least give you a place among your relatives."
"Take it!"
Of course, no one dares to snatch it. This little girl is too young and has no knowledge. If she is older, she will be able to recognize that the chilong cloud pattern engraved on this jade pendant is exclusive to the royal family, and only the prince can recognize it. Ornaments worn.
This kind of jade pendant, let alone snatching it, even if it is found in someone's house, is a complete crime of trespass.
Three hundred guan is just the value of the jade pendant itself. If the name of the jade pendant is added to it, as long as it can be legitimately taken home and offered as a gift, it will be a thousand guan, and no one will even blink an eye.
However, the little girls in front of them were naturally unclear.
Although she was young, she could still see that the real decision-maker in front of her was the young master standing in front of her.
Three hundred dollars is really a lot of money for her...
The little girl didn't speak. She looked at the exquisite jade pendant in front of her and bit her lower lip. After a while, she still didn't reach out to pick it up. Instead, she knelt on the ground and kowtowed, saying.
"I would like to thank the master and young master for their kindness, but... I am not worth so much money."
It was different from when she was in front of Zhu Jianshen just now. Perhaps it was because Zhu Qiyu was obviously the one who could make the decision, or perhaps because the person in front of her clearly had the aura of a big shot. The little girl looked very nervous and spoke a little awkwardly.
However, after looking down at her mother, the little girl still mustered up the courage and said seriously.
"My mother has taught me how to eat as much as I can. It's not that I can't take my own money. The master and the young master spent the same money to buy me back. I will work hard and repay you two."
"Moreover, this jade pendant was given by the young master's grandmother. If I take it, the young master's grandmother will be sad..."
When she said this, although the little girl's hair was unkempt, her eyes were shining like stars, and her sincerity made people's hearts tremble.
Zhu Qiyu looked at her carefully, as if he wanted to say something, but glanced at Zhu Jianshen beside him, but did not speak directly. Instead, he turned to Zhu Jianshen and spoke.
"Brother Shen, you saw that she doesn't want your jade pendant. What are you going to do?"
ah?
Zhu Jianshen looked at a loss. This poor child was used to being arranged, but who would have expected that after leaving the palace, he would have to take the initiative and think of everything.
Finally, he came up with a way to exchange the jade pendant for money, but who would have thought that the other party refused to take it. I thought that if the emperor's uncle intervened, he would be able to solve it satisfactorily, but when he came back, the problem was handed over to his own hands again.
I have no money, but others don’t accept the things I give them. What should I do?
Suddenly, the little prince fell into distress again.
As he was thinking about it, he suddenly felt a sense of irritation in his heart. He just felt that this matter was too troublesome. He obviously wanted to help others with good intentions, but ended up causing so much trouble. Suddenly, a wave of anxiety surged in his heart. Impulsive, just want to let go.
However, at the end, when he turned to look at the poor little girl on the ground, Zhu Jianshen still couldn't move.
But he couldn't think of a way, so he could only stand there aggrievedly.
However, at this moment, the little girl on the side kowtowed twice again and said.
"Master, I beg you to be kind again. You are a noble person and you will definitely be able to help me find money. Please help me. All I need is money!"
Seeing this situation, Zhu Qiyu raised his eyebrows, looking at the little girl with a more profound look...
What a smart little girl!
At the same time, with the reminder of this sentence, Zhu Jianshen also suddenly turned around.
That’s right, if he doesn’t have money, how can the emperor’s uncle not have money?
Just look for him!
So, the Crown Prince of the Ming Dynasty looked at His Majesty the Emperor pitifully, and his request was just...
"Please give me some money, Uncle Emperor. I, I... I will exchange this jade pendant for Uncle Emperor, okay?"
Zhu Jianshen has a special status, so he rarely takes the initiative to make requests to others, especially to the imperial uncle whom he is not particularly familiar with.
Feeling uneasy, he didn't know what he was thinking. He raised his jade pendant and handed it to Zhu Qiyu.
Seeing this situation, Zhu Qiyu smiled, pondered for a moment, and asked.
"Brother Shen, think about it, this jade pendant is worth three hundred guan, but if you give it to the emperor's uncle, you can only exchange it for 1 guan. Is it worth it?"
Zhu Jianshen looked at the jade pendant in his hand, and it was obvious that he was still reluctant to part with it. However, he did not take his hand back, but thought about it and said.
"The jade pendant is a dead thing, and she is a human being. As long as I can help her, it's worth it!"
"well said!"
A sudden voice sounded, and Zhu Jianshen shrank back in fright, thinking that he had made some mistake.

Everyone followed the sound, but saw Shen Yi looking embarrassed and quickly lowered his head.
However, even so, the approval on his face did not restrain at all. Looking at Yu Qian aside, although he did not speak, he was obviously very satisfied with the prince's performance just now.
Especially the last sentence, although the words are childish, the tolerance and compassion contained in it won the praise of the two scholar-bureaucrats.
If it weren't for the inappropriate occasion, I'm afraid they would all be tempted to pay homage and praise His Highness the Crown Prince's benevolence.
Zhu Qiyu glanced at the two of them indifferently and snorted softly.
With Chen Yi's calmness, it is not surprising that he would be happy with Zhu Jianshen's performance just now, but he would be so excited that he would lose control of his words, even if he underestimated him, the Minister of the Ministry of Finance.
If he were such a person, he would have died eight hundred times in the court.
This old fox was reminding him in disguise!
The conversation just now was both a teaching and a test for Zhu Jianshen. From the beginning, he was asked to deal with the little girl by himself, then he was guided to take out the jade pendant, and now he is faced with a dilemma.
The difficulty of Zhu Qiyu's exams for Zhu Jianshen is getting stronger and stronger. Among them, Zhu Jianshen does well in some areas and also in some areas he does poorly. But to be fair, at his age, it is already very difficult for him to be able to respond like this. Not bad.
Not to mention, even though he was forced by various forces just now, in the end, he never gave up on helping this little girl, and even said that people's lives are more valuable than anything else.
This is already a good performance beyond what is expected for his age.
It's best for this matter to end here.
Although Zhu Qiyu left the city incognito this time, there were so many people accompanying him, and he also brought Zhu Jianshen out, so the news must not be hidden.
It won't be long before the details of their time abroad will be spread.
Therefore, it is the best outcome for things to stop here. The prince is kind and kind, and he cares about the people. The emperor is good at teaching and truly guides and cultivates the prince as a prince.
The king and his ministers get along well with each other, uncles and nephews get along well with each other, everything is happy.
If you continue to take the school entrance examination, it will be difficult...
This is the reason why Chen Yi suddenly became "excited". In fact, having said that, among the six films, the one who has the most contact with Zhu Qiyu is actually Shen Yi.
This old guy is not like what he usually shows, he only wants money to spend money. He has deep thoughts!
Feeling the emperor's gaze, Shen Shangshu lowered his head guiltily and couldn't help but turn his head in the direction of Yu Qian. That means, you should say something...
However, Yu Qian just smiled and distanced himself from Shen Shangshu without any trace, but kept his mouth tightly closed.
Compared to Shen Yi, he believed that the emperor was measured!
As expected, after lightly glancing at Shen Yi, the emperor didn't say much. He just turned his gaze back to the prince, thought for a while, and said.
"Uncle Shen is very pleased that Brother Shen has such an idea. In that case..."
"Then the imperial uncle will accept your jade pendant!"
Seeing Zhu Jianshen who was a little reluctant to leave, Zhu Qiyu didn't hesitate much, took the jade pendant from his little hand, and then ordered.
"Shu Liang, bring me some money!"
It should be said that Eunuch Shu is worthy of serving in front of the emperor. With his status, it is completely impossible to carry currency such as copper coins with him.
However, as soon as the emperor gave the order, he immediately produced a copper coin from nowhere, stepped forward with a smile, and handed it to Zhu Jianshen's hand respectfully.
Carrying the heavy amount of money, the little prince reluctantly glanced at the jade pendant that had already reached Zhu Qiyu's hand, bit his lower lip, then turned around, came to the little girl, and handed it over.
"Here, give me the money. I'll give it to you in exchange for the jade pendant. You don't have to sell yourself!"
The little girl looked at the proud young master in front of her, then at the heavy copper coins in front of her, and suddenly she burst into tears.
Different from the whimpering just now, this time the little girl burst into tears. While crying, she kept kowtowing her head and said, sobbing.
"Thank you, young master, thank you, young master..."
Looking at the little girl in front of him who seemed to be able to only say this sentence, Zhu Jianshen felt an unprecedented feeling in his heart.
It was a kind of helplessness when being sincerely thanked by someone. He had been a noble person since he was a child. There were countless people who knelt down and kowtowed in front of him, some were older and some were younger.
However, he had never felt as restless and overwhelmed as he did now.
Because the little girl in front of him was not kowtowing because of his identity, but sincerely wanted to thank him. This feeling was very strange and made him feel a little uncomfortable.
At this moment, Zhu Jianshen felt vaguely ashamed of the thought of escaping and leaving, so much so that he even stammered when speaking.
"You, stop knocking and get up, the ground is dirty..."
However, the little girl seemed to have suddenly relaxed from her tight emotions. At this time, she could not listen to anything and just kept kowtowing.
Seeing this situation, Zhu Jianshen hesitated for a moment, and after thinking about it, he didn't care that the little girl was dirty and would stain his clothes. He stretched out his chubby little hand, took the little girl's arm, and then helped her up. .
"Ah, damn it, I soiled the young master's clothes. I'm sorry, young master..."
The little girl was helped up, her little face was crying like a tabby cat, dirty, and there were spots of red marks on her forehead.
Seeing Zhu Jian's dark blue cloak stained with black ash, the little girl subconsciously took a step back and knelt down again, wanting to continue kowtowing.
But this time, Zhu Jianshen didn't let go, and held her firmly, saying.
"Don't kneel down, or I won't give you any money!"
