"Yun'er didn't want to talk to me too much, but kept urging me to come back. It's so boring!" Zhu Yunxiu replied to Li Jie with a disappointed look on his face.

"This is normal. After all, there are so many people in the hall, even His Majesty and Concubine Hui are here. If someone sees her sitting with you without any suspicion, wouldn't it be a real person?" Li Jie also smiled and explained.

"That's right, but we haven't seen each other for so long, I have a lot of words to say to her, but I was poured a basin of cold water." Zhu Yunxiu complained again. He actually had no excessive thoughts. He just wanted to say a few words to his sweetheart. However, he didn't expect to be driven back.

"The girl is already thin-skinned, so there will naturally be concerns in public. If you really want to say something to Miss Fan, I will discuss it with your sister later to see if she can help you find a chance to meet!" Li Jie patted Zhu Yunxi's shoulder again and comforted him.

"Really? This is what you said. You must help me when the time comes!" Zhu Yunsheng said happily when he heard this.

The birthday party lasted until the evening, and Lao Zhu was rarely so happy. In addition, Zhu Biao also made an exception and drank a few drinks with him. As a result, Lao Zhu was drunk in the end and was helped by Concubine Guo Hui to rest. The people at the birthday party also dispersed.

Li Jie was about to leave, but Zhu Yuning was surrounded by a group of unmarried princesses and princesses, chattering and not knowing what to say. From time to time, people looked at Li Jie, then covered their mouths and laughed and said a few words to Zhu Yuning, which caused a group of people to scream.

Li Jie was also quite helpless about this. Although they didn’t know what they were talking about, they could guess it. Although the royal education was very strict, there was actually no big difference between these women and ordinary women outside. They were very interested in gossiping.

But at this moment, Zhu Biao, who was finally free, also walked to Li Jie and asked, "I heard that before I came just now, you gave Empress Hui a glass greenhouse to grow food and vegetables in winter?"

"Yes, I want to build one in the palace first, so that it will be easier to promote in the future." Li Jie replied honestly.

"Does there be many materials prepared? If there is any excess, I want to build one in Chunhe Palace." Zhu Biao smiled again, and he was also very interested in this greenhouse.

"There is no problem with the materials, but the craftsmen may not have enough staff, and it is the first time to build it, so I'm afraid I have to wait until the palace is built before going to Chunhe Palace." Li Jie thought for a while and replied.

"Okay, there's no hurry now!" Zhu Biao nodded when he heard this, and then chatted with Li Jie for a few more gossips before leaving the hall. At this time, Zhu Yuning finally said goodbye to each other, and Li Jie left the palace with her in a carriage.

On the way back, Li Jie told Zhu Yuning about Zhu Yuning, but after hearing this, she couldn't help but laugh: "I didn't expect that I was really impatient. Miss Fan had just entered the palace for a few days, and he couldn't wait to meet someone privately."

"This is also human nature. Didn't we meet often at the beginning?" Li Jie said with a smile.

"You are all looking for me. Are you all so anxious?" Zhu Yuning said immediately.

"No, how do I remember that the first time we met was you looking for me?" Li Jie immediately retorted when he heard this. He clearly remembered that when he first got engaged, Zhu Yuning took the initiative to find him, and he was very ruthlessly eavesdropping on the chat with Zhu Yunyu outside the window. As a result, Zhu Yuning also heard his joke.

"You are looking for me, you must have remembered it wrong!" Zhu Yuning said as if she was scoundrel, but her blushing little face betrayed her, which made Li Jie laugh and didn't say anything else.

"Since Yun Ying wants to meet Miss Fan, I will find an opportunity to go to the palace to see if I can arrange it for them." Zhu Yuning said in the end.

"It just so happens that I will go to the palace to plan the construction of the greenhouse recently, and we can work together at that time." Li Jie immediately said when he heard this.

"When the greenhouse in the palace is built, we will also build one at home. I also want to see the flowers and plants that bloom in winter!" Zhu Yuning said immediately.

"You thought of going with the prince. He also wanted to build a greenhouse with Chun and Gong." Li Jie smiled again when he heard this. He was really a father and daughter, and even his ideas were exactly the same, but this also shows that the greenhouse is not very attractive. It seems that it should be no problem to promote it in the future.

In the next few days, Li Jie was also preparing to build a greenhouse, and the palace also needed some coordination. After all, the greenhouse was built in the inner palace, and some preparations were needed in advance. It was impossible for Li Jie to lead a group of craftsmen to enter the harem to work directly.

But on this day, someone suddenly came to visit Li Jie. When Li Jie came to the front hall, he found that the person coming was Luo Guanzhong. This surprised him and asked: "Why are you here, Mr. Luo?"

Since the release of the Three Kingdoms and Water Margin, Luo Guanzhong has rented a yard outside and moved out of Li Jie's house. It was not that he felt uncomfortable living in Li Jie's house, but that he felt that he could not always bother others. Moreover, he was not short of money at that time, so he rented a yard and hired a few servants, and it was very comfortable to live alone.

"Mr. Concubine, I'm here to say goodbye to you this time!" Luo Guanzhong stood up and saluted Li Jie.

"Say your goodbye? Where are you going?" Li Jie also looked surprised when he heard this. He was completely unprepared for this matter.

"My greatest wish in my life is to print and distribute the books I wrote. Now that I have a wish, there is no need to stay in the capital. In addition, I am old, so I want to go back to my hometown to retire early!"

Luo Guanzhong paused when he said this, and then showed a look of guilt and said again: "It's shameful. When I left home, my wife and children at home tried to persuade me to stay, but in order to achieve my wish, I still left resolutely. I just wasted my time outside for many years. I'm afraid that my wife and children at home thought I had died outside."

Luo Guanzhong's eyes were filled with tears at the end of his speech. He spent most of his life wandering outside, and his family was managed by his wife. He had not returned for many years. Now he knew nothing about Zhong's situation, which made him feel extremely guilty.

When Li Jie heard this, he sighed inwardly and immediately stopped trying to keep him. So he spoke again: "Since the old man has decided to leave, I will not try to keep him, but the position at the Printing Bookstore..."

"Don't worry about this. I have resigned from my official position before I came and have also returned the rented yard. I am preparing to leave Beijing in the next two days." Luo Guanzhong said again. It seems that he had already made up his mind to leave Beijing.

"I wonder when the old man will leave Beijing, so I can go see you off?" Li Jie asked again after hearing this.

"Just the morning after tomorrow, I was about to take a boat south, but I also wanted to ask the prince-consort for help!" Luo Guanzhong bowed again at this time.

"You are not polite, sir. If you have anything to do, just speak!" Li Jie said immediately.

"This..." Luo Guanzhong showed a look of embarrassment at this time, and then said again, "It's shameful that thanks to the help of the prince-consort, my books were successfully printed and distributed. Now I have some wealth in my hands. I can't take them back with me alone. I originally wanted to hire a few escorts, but I was worried that these people would want to make money, so I wanted to ask the prince-consort to send a few people to escort me back to Suzhou."

"So this is the case. No problem. When I go to see you off the day after tomorrow, I will bring you the person!" Li Jie immediately agreed upon hearing this.

Luo Guanzhong said it was "a little bit of money", but according to Li Jie's estimate, the release of several books was enough to bring Luo Guanzhong a huge amount of wealth. Even if the money was exchanged for gold and silver, it would probably have to be packed with a few big boxes. No one could escort it. As for the bodyguards outside, it was sometimes unreliable, especially when Luo Guanzhong is so old, it is easy for people to be willing to make money, so he needs more escorts.

Seeing Li Jie agreeing, Luo Guanzhong immediately stood up to thank him. Then Li Jie asked about his itinerary. Only then did Li Jie realize that the property that Luo Guanzhong was going to take away was not his own, and there were also the benefits of Water Margin. He planned to find the children and grandchildren of his teacher Shi Nai'an and hand over the money to them.

In response to this, Li Jie immediately promised that he would ask the guards to help him find Shi Nai'an's descendants, hand over the money to them before coming back.
