The carved wooden box was presented, and Zhu Gaoxu was about to find the mechanism to open the box. The middle-aged woman bowed her body and pressed it gently, and the wooden box opened. The entrance was a human-shaped old ginseng. It is said that many plants grew together in one of the old ginseng, and this mother ginseng should be one of them.

Zhu Gaoxu could not tell the authenticity, but he was the prince and the other party was the head of the Shen family, so there should be no falsehood. He looked at the ginseng for a while, then looked up at Chen Xu.

Chen Xu faced his gaze and smiled, but did not disturb Zhu Gaoxu. She smiled without showing her teeth, her eyes were half a moon-shaped, and she smiled.

Zhu Gaoxu closed the wooden box and said, "Thank you, Mrs. Chen for your generous gift."

Chen Xu said: "Your Highness, you are polite."

Zhu Gaoxu then called Wang Gui, who was standing behind him, handed the wooden box to Wang Gui, and said softly: "Send it back to the palace immediately, find Dr. Chen to ask the dosage, and use this ginseng as medicine to wait for the princess to take it."

Wang Gui bowed: "Sister obeying the order."

After getting the thousand-year-old Korean ginseng, Zhu Gaoxu breathed a sigh of relief. Guo Wei's illness made him worried, and he was helpless except to do these things.

At this time, Chen Xu said, "Although the thousand-year-old Korean ginseng is a rare medicinal material, it is not a magic pill. My husband has taken one, but it still ends up..." She changed her mind and said, "But the princess may have been a hard time on the journey and has a little hurt. It should be fine. She will definitely get better after recuperation for a while. Don't worry too much."

"I hope this will be done with the auspicious words of Mrs. Chen." Zhu Gaoxu said, "I only found this thing because the doctor said he wanted a thousand years of Korean ginseng. There was no other way."

Chen Xu said: "The princess has the intention of His Highness and feels comfortable. It may be better than it can be cured by the thousand-year-old ginseng. This product is sky-high, not only rare, but also because merchants repeatedly raise prices." She smiled self-deprecatingly, "I bought it with a lot of money back then, and let the price spread, which also serves as an accomplice."

"High prices really need to be hyped," Zhu Gaoxu agreed, and then said, "It's the price that will rise once when you sell something. If you put it in a pot and fry it repeatedly, the prices will get hot."

Chen Xu looked at Zhu Gaoxu with great interest, "So Your Highness knows how to do business?"

Zhu Gaoxu said the truth: "Talking about war on paper is a joke, and it is a joke. Mrs. Chen understands this better. Mrs. Chen does not allow her to support such a big family business, and I admire her."

Chen Xu said: "I dare not belittle myself, and I am indeed influenced by Shang Dao. Because I am not only the daughter-in-law of the Shen family, but also the daughter of the Xu family. My grandfather was rich at the time, but later I spent all my wealth."

Wang Gui reported that Chen Xu was the granddaughter of Xu Fujiu. Xu Fujiu was also a big businessman, but Chen Wansan's story is too famous, and the legend of Xu Fujiu's family wealth is not so well-known.

However, the merchant valued profit, so why did Xu Fujiu give up so much property? Chen Xu no longer mentioned Xu Fujiu.

That was her ancestor, and Zhu Gaoxu didn't ask in detail, thinking it was impolite... but he vaguely speculated that it might have something to do with the "feudal anti-motor rulers", that is, their Zhu family.

Zhu Gaoxu got the thousand-year-old Korean ginseng and continued to sit here and talk to Shen Xu. He just felt that he had taken the things and left, which seemed a bit too snobbish.

The ancients had some truth in their slight business, but Zhu Gaoxu did not have that idea, so he continued the topic just now and talked about business with Shen Xu.

Chen Xu talked about the relationship between people's hearts and profit sharing and management. Although Zhu Gaoxu didn't know much about it, he could still reach a deal with her. Gradually, he felt that this woman seemed very knowledgeable and talented.

She said: "I didn't change my name back then, and I was unwilling to give up the reputation of the Shen family for many years. I asked my subordinates to believe that the boss could give everyone food and clothing without worries, and that there would be no results in ten or twenty years. As long as everyone believed in the Shen family, even if they received little profit, they would serve with peace of mind and long-term benefits. Otherwise, they could only recruit brave men with heavy rewards, and the temporary people would not be reliable, and the remaining profits of the Shen family would be less."

"Seeking." Zhu Gaoxu agreed, "Just like the Ming Dynasty, an annual salary of 45 jin can be used to serve as a juren or even a Jinshi. If other families want to use this salary to recruit talents, it will definitely not work."

Chen Xu smiled and said, "I dare not compare it to each other, but His Highness the King of Han learned from it and made me very impressed."

Zhu Gaoxu turned his head to observe the sunlight under the eaves and said, "It's getting late..."

Chen Xu hurriedly said, "Your Highness, I have ordered the kitchen to prepare dinner and the dishes are ready. Are you willing to enjoy your face and leave it for dinner?"

Zhu Gaoxu hesitated for a moment and felt that Mrs. Chen was very nice to him. No matter who Mrs. Chen was, he just felt that since she was kind, she didn't have to be unkind to others.

As for whether Chen Xu family is looking for Zhu Gaoxu's power, it doesn't matter... that's certain.

Zhu Gaoxu has long seen through things like snobbery, and he is even more naked than the ancients. Some people use stories like "the dog's eyes look down on others" to ridicule others for being disgusted with the poor and loving the rich, but Zhu Gaoxu's opinion is that everyone is very busy; if an ordinary friend completely makes others unable to see the value, it should be ignored. Others treat each other with courtesy will also cost money and care, and they must screen the target. It's just a difference between long-term or short-sighted vision, and it has nothing to do with nobleness and vulgarity.

"Since Mrs. Chen has prepared the meal, I will be disrespectful." Zhu Gaoxu said.

"Please, Your Highness." Chen Xu stood up and said.

So the two changed places to have a meal. On the way to the dining room a few steps away, Chen Xu said that he also prepared wine and food for the accompanying soldiers. After receiving the order from Zhu Gaoxu, Chen Dachui and others went to have a meal reluctantly.

When he arrived at the dining room, Zhu Gaoxu was immediately shocked by the number of dishes. There were at least one hundred dishes, bowls, and plates placed on a large round table! Zhu Gaoxu was dazzled.

It’s true that the Shen family’s wealth is not a matter of one or two days.

Zhu Gaoxu sat down in the upper seat, and was quick to speak, and blurted out, "My father's daily meals are only four dishes and one soup, and the Shen family is extremely luxurious!"

Chen Xu's expression changed suddenly, and he immediately smiled and said, "The royal family is rich in the world, it is necessary to be luxurious, but they do not want to do so, otherwise the ministers will not be allowed to advise?

The Shen family is just a commoner, and the family is rich, and the cost of a meal is limited. If the prince is still not good at serving him, he will pretend to be hypocritical. Your Highness thinks that I am right?"

"It makes sense!" Zhu Gaoxu smiled to cover up the embarrassment caused to Chen Xu.

Two rows of maids stood on both sides of the dining room. At this time, a few older women walked up and each took a small plate to pick up food on the table, holding a little bit of each. Then they took the plate to the maids and asked them to have an interview.

Zhu Gaoxu saw it, but this time he didn't say it: I, Cao, do you have a fictitious scene with this specification?

Behind him, there were a group of girls, each carrying towels, water and other items. Some people also held white porcelain plates to pick up food for Zhu Gaoxu.

Chen Xu was accompanying him at the table and said clearly: "Because I first met with Your Highness, I didn't know your highness likes and dislikes, so I told the chefs to make some dishes from all over the world, east, west, south, and north, and invite your Highness to taste it. What wine do you want to drink?"

Zhu Gaoxu said: "Wine. I eat all kinds of dishes, and I love to eat salty and spicy food. After eating salty and spicy food, it is very refreshing to drink some sweet food."

After he finished speaking, the maid standing beside him immediately bowed and placed a crystal clear glass, and then poured the dark purple-red wine into the cup.

"There are still some ducks in the capital here." Zhu Gaoxu pointed. The maids picked up a piece of duck meat for him.

Chen Xu also poured wine in front of her. She picked it up and took a sip and had a meal with Zhu Gaoxu.

After a while, Chen Xu said again: "There is a theater in the south of Caihaizi, called Liyuan. I am in the best position and give Your Highness a seat for you just to prepare for Your Highness. In this way, whenever you arrive, you will have a seat."

After hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu refused and said, "Thank you, Mrs. Chen, when the princess gets cured, I will definitely take her to the show."

Chen Xu said lightly again: "Your Highness arrives at the Shen Family Theater. As long as they can do it, just give it your order. No matter who you want her to do, your Highness can speak."

Zhu Gaoxu glanced at her and nodded slightly.

He found that he had a good deal with merchants, and he would be a special VIP seat wherever he went. Isn’t this a high-big? But there are indeed adverse consequences for noble officials to make friends with merchants... With such treatment, wouldn’t he repay the favor? The things that the imperial court ordered officials to have were nothing more than power.

Fortunately, Zhu Gaoxu was just a vassal king, so he didn't care. Anyway, eating, drinking and having fun were the main tasks that the court liked.

Eating hundreds of dishes, Zhu Gaoxu couldn't help but think: If personal safety can be guaranteed, being a vassal king in Yunnan would be a bit more enjoyable than being an emperor...

After dinner, the light outside gradually dimmed. Chen Xu did not recommend himself as the legendary pillow and mattress. Zhu Gaoxu also cared about Guo Wei and said goodbye after dinner.

Chen Xu personally took his servant to take Zhu Gaoxu out. When he got on the carriage, she stood at the door and watched as he picked up the curtain after a while.

...

Dr. Chen has been here and confirmed that the ginseng plant is a thousand-year-old ginseng. But as Chen Xu said, the ginseng is not a magic pill, but the effect is indeed very obvious, especially the side effects. After taking it, Guo Wei was in a good mood and it was extremely difficult to fall asleep.

The next day, the Mu Mansion sent another person, saying that the Marquis of Xiping was still lying in bed and just waited for his illness to recover, he immediately came to pay homage to the King of Han. The whole Mu Mansion had already searched for thousands of years of Korean ginseng everywhere. Zhu Gaoxu told the visitor that he had obtained the thing from the Chen Xu Mansion yesterday.

This is strange. It is rumored that Chen Xu is the leader of Mu Sheng. Regardless of whether it is true or false, Chen Xu should have contact with the Mu Mansion. Even if Mu Sheng is sick, it is impossible not to know about this. Zhu Gaoxu couldn't help but wonder if Mu Sheng was really sick... or was not in the Mu Mansion at all?

I don’t know whether it was because of the quiet and quiet recuperation in the royal palace, or whether the Miracle Doctor Chen was well-known and had medical skills. In less than half a month, Guo Wei’s illness gradually recovered.
