My Pen Pal Zhu Yuanzhang

Chapter 167 This is a big misunderstanding

The Chongning Palace was in a mess with debris all over the floor. The ground was covered with gifts sent by the Japanese envoys, which had now been smashed to pieces.

The palace maids and eunuchs were standing outside the door, looking at the angry Zhu Funing. They were terrified and dared not breathe, fearing that they would offend the princess.
No one knew what had happened to Her Royal Highness the Sixth Princess. She was usually gentle as water, but after returning from His Majesty today, she suddenly flew into a rage and threw the exquisite gifts sent by the Japanese envoy to the ground, smashing them to pieces.

There were so many valuable things, such as the precious rouge box, the exquisite jade fan screen, and various wooden lacquerware, and they were all smashed to pieces.

It was obvious that when these gifts were first delivered, His Highness liked them very much and was even thinking of picking out the best ones to give to the extraordinary person.

Could it be that the Japanese offended the princess, or was it a strange person?

The braver personal maids tried to comfort Zhu Funing and ask what was going on, but she scolded them out.

No one knew what Zhu Funing had been through, but just by looking at her red eyes, one could tell that she was very sad.

After smashing all the gifts to pieces, Zhu Funing squatted in her boudoir, buried her head between her legs, and burst into tears.

Those cruel scenes from her father's place were deeply engraved in her mind, making her feel miserable.

She hated the Japanese for being so cruel. Although it was something that would happen in the future, when she thought about the people of the Ming Dynasty suffering a purgatory-like disaster under the bayonets and iron hooves of the Japanese invaders, her heart felt like it was being grabbed by an invisible big hand, making it impossible for her to breathe.

She hated herself even more. Why was she so happy when she saw the exquisite gift and accepted it with pleasure?

Now when Zhu Funing thinks back to herself back then, she feels extremely disgusted. She doesn't know what to do and can only desperately use tears to wash away her pain and sin.

After a long time, the palace maids mustered up their courage and tried to clean up the mess. If they were seen by the female officials in the palace, they would be punished.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Funing stood up at this time and started to clean up with them.

"Your Highness, your Highness, you are a precious person. Let me do the heavy work. You can take a rest first."

The palace maids said in a panic that if the female officials knew that they had made Her Royal Highness the Princess work, it would be disastrous, and they would be severely punished if not killed.

However, Zhu Funing said: "It doesn't matter. During the Anti-Japanese War, Chinese girls could carry guns and kill the enemy. As a princess of the Ming Dynasty, I can do the same. It's nothing to do some work now!"

Anti-Japanese period?

The palace maids opened their eyes in confusion, not understanding what Zhu Funing was talking about. They just asked the princess to work, which was absolutely impossible.

Seeing the worried looks of the palace maids, Zhu Funing forced a smile on his face, "Don't worry, the ladies won't know. Even if they do, it doesn't matter. I will explain it to them. If they dare to punish you, I won't let them go!"

Seeing that the princess was determined to do so, the palace maids had no choice but to help clean up the house.

Although cleaning the house could alleviate some of the distress in her heart, she still had a lot of troubles and wanted to find someone to talk to.

She thought of Li Han. Perhaps, she could only tell him what was in her heart.

After sending all the palace maids away, she picked up a pen and wanted to write a letter to Li Han. After thinking for a while, she put down the pen and picked up her mobile phone.

She wanted to record what she was going to say and then tell it to Li Han, so that it would be as if she was talking to him.

After turning on the video, she spoke out everything that was on her mind into the camera.

After recording the video, she went to Zhu Yuanzhang's bedroom again. Zhu Yuanzhang had just finished writing his reply letter at this time. Seeing that his precious daughter had something to say to Li Han, he helped her copy the video from her mobile phone, saved it in a USB drive, and mailed it back to Li Han together with the letter.

……

There were quite a lot of people coming to the store today, all of them were from tour groups, and many of them wanted to try their luck at Li Han's store with the mentality of finding a bargain. However, they lost interest in the serious wooden crafts after just one look, and thought they were too expensive, thinking that Li Han was ripping them off. But when they saw the fake copper coins and fake silver dollars, they became interested.

They bought a lot of fake stuff, and everyone thought they had gotten a great bargain. However, Li Han didn't tell them that these items were all imported from Panjiayuan.

It's just a small profit of a few thousand yuan. Even though it's a small amount, it's still meat, right?

A few hundred thousand is not too much, and a few thousand is not too little. When doing business, the key is to treat everyone as a guest. What Li Han needs to do is to face everyone with a smile.

There were some tourists who knew what was good. One who looked somewhat cultured wanted to buy "Visiting a Friend with a Lute".

Moreover, as soon as he opened his mouth, he offered a price of 10,000 yuan, which he thought was a sky-high price. Li Han did not know whether to laugh or cry. Not to mention 10,000 yuan, even if it was multiplied by 10,000 times, he would not sell it.

After finally sending the tourists away and having some free time, Li Han went to the warehouse and wanted to replenish some goods to the counter, and then he saw the letter in the mailbox.

When I took it out, I found not only the letter, but also a USB flash drive.

Why did Lao Zhu mail a USB drive to himself?
Li Han was also confused. Could it be that Old Zhu shot a promotional video for the Ming Dynasty and sent it to him to watch?

This is a good idea. I can ask Lao Zhu and others to shoot some footage and send it to me. Then I can edit and compose music for it and put it online. This will also allow modern people to see what their ancestors looked like and see the real customs and culture of China more than 600 years ago.

Maybe I can even serve as a historical consultant for the crews shooting costume dramas or historical dramas. At the very least, I can prevent those illiterate people from making right-opening clothes with left-opening, which is ridiculous.

Let’s take a look at what’s in the USB drive first. Li Han picked up the letter and the USB drive, went to the room, turned on the computer, and inserted the USB drive into it.

There really is a video inside. Could it be that I guessed it right?

Li Han couldn't help laughing, then he clicked on the video, and then he saw a face as beautiful as a fairy.

This is……

His eyes widened immediately, and after a while he realized that this was Zhu Funing!
Not to mention, she looks about 80% similar to the portrait. Now that I see her in person, she is even more beautiful than the portrait.

Her eyebrows were like distant mountains covered with green smoke, and her eyes were like autumn water reflecting the stars. However, her big watery eyes were a little red, as if she had been crying.

Was he criticized by his father, Lao Zhu, and now he comes to me to complain?
Li Han couldn't help but let his mind wander, and then he heard Zhu Funing speak.

"Mr. Li, I have a lot to say, but I don't know who to talk to. The servants around me wouldn't understand even if I told them. After thinking about it, I think the person who understands me the most in this world is you, Li Han.

I just wanted to tell you what's in my heart, I hope you don't mind. "

Li Han touched his chin. He didn't care what Zhu Funing said, but it was the accent that aroused his great interest.

The pronunciation of the words and sentences sounded a bit like the current Nanjing dialect, but also a little different. It had a slight touch of northern dialect rhyme in it. He thought that this should be the official language of the Ming Dynasty.

This is an extremely valuable piece of research material on pronunciation in the Ming Dynasty. Li Han listened carefully.

However, at this time, outside the house, there were two people who were also listening to Zhu Funing's voice playing on the computer inside the house.

"Mr. Li?" Li Momo's brows frowned instantly, his ears perked up, not daring to miss any words coming from inside the room.

The person who was speaking actually said that the person who understood her best in the world was Li Han. What a shameless woman!
