Prince Chun was stunned and turned around suddenly, and saw that the man was in his thirties and his appearance was vaguely familiar.

"Guan...guan..." For a moment, Prince Chun called out the other party's name, but the name was at the mouth but he couldn't remember it.

"It's really you, Master Jiu!" The man looked carefully, sure that he had not recognized the wrong person, so he quickly asked Prince Chun to beat Qian'er, but as soon as he stretched out his hands and knees, he thought of something and hurriedly took it back. At the same time, he looked around with fear, and then he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that no one noticed them.

"Your best friend, Jiu Ye." Then, the man bowed to Prince Chun with a Han ceremony and said softly in a voice that only two people could hear clearly: "Your Majesty, I... the youngest one is Guan Xiaowu, the second boy from the fourth house of the Guan family. You have been to Mulan Ranch with Jiu Ye."

"Yes, yes! Guan Xiaowu!" Prince Chun suddenly remembered this name. To be honest, Guan Xiaowu was not an outsider. His ancestors were nobles of the Qing Dynasty. His old surname was Guarjia, and he was one of the eight major surnames of the Qing Dynasty.

Guan Xiaowu's ancestor was extraordinary. He was the first hero of the founding of the Qing Dynasty. He was the third-class Duke Xinyong and his prince Fei Yingdong. He was considered a royal relative.

However, there are many descendants of the Guan family, and Guan Xiaowu is not born in the eldest son. He can't even take the lead in inheriting the Duke of Xinyong. He has no official job except for a mere Enqiwei's award.

However, Guan Xiaowu is a kid who is smart and often stays with Kangxi and the princes of the past. To put it bluntly, he is a "software" character.

Jianxing was the Eighth Prince, and he has always been known as the Eight Wise King in the government and the country. He has won a large number of noble children around him, and Guan Xiaowu is among them.

Prince Chun was a backbone of the Eighth Master Party back then, so these gangs naturally knew him. In addition, Prince Chun was straightforward, generous and loyal, and had a good relationship with each other.

Since the Ming army landed in Tianjin, it attacked Beijing City with lightning speed. The Qing army hastily faced the defeat in Zhili.

Seeing the Ming army winning, Beijing was out of its preservation, the Qing court fled in a panic. However, the Qing court ran away at the center of the Qing court, but not many ordinary mankind people below followed him, so when the Ming army occupied Beijing, there were still many mankind people who had no time to run away.

Guan Xiaowu was one of the Manchus who could not follow him. As a side branch of the Guan family, it was too late for Guan Xiaowu to go away after learning the news. When the Ming army entered the city, it was impossible to run away.

In this way, Guan Xiaowu stayed in the capital. Because of his awkward identity, his family had already left the Guan family's head. The family of five was only a small courtyard in the city, and even the family had not much savings. On weekdays, except for the mere Enqiwei's salary of 45 taels of silver a year, they rely on the rewards that they had idle around the princes. Life could only be considered as barely.

Who would have thought that the Ming Dynasty would recover the capital and carry out a series of liquidation of the nobles in the city. There were quite a few noble families who were robbed of their yard property, and there were even many people who were extremely guilty and were sent directly to "labor reform".

In this case, ordinary Manchu families like Guan Xiaowu have no effect. According to the Ming Dynasty's policies, the ordinary Manchus in the city only asked them to change their Han surnames, abandon customs, and regard themselves as Han people. As for family property, these people were nothing, so the Ming Dynasty did not deal with them severely. They only observed them after being surveilled for a period of time. If they could abide by the laws and regulations of the Ming Dynasty, they would be no different from ordinary Ming people in one or two years.

In this way, Guan Xiaowu's blessing is in a sense no different from the poor landlord who lost all his property before liberation and was rated as a poor peasant after liberation.

Although the Ming Dynasty lost his master after recapturing Beijing, Guan Xiaowu could not be the prince's gang, and even the 45 taels of salary paid by the Qing Dynasty a year had no source, but in a place like the capital, Guan Xiaowu was not stupid and good at ease. The business atmosphere of the Ming Dynasty was strong. In recent years, the maritime trade and the manufacturing industry were developed, Guan Xiaowu jointly opened a business, and he actually made some money by making familiarity in the capital.

Last year, Guan Xiaowu transferred the Yasper shop and opened a shop in the capital. The shops were very good, but after a while, they became wealthy.

"Master Jiu, why... why... why did you suddenly return to Beijing?" When asked An, Guan Xiaowu looked at Prince Chun in surprise. It would be normal for an ordinary Manchu old man to meet in the capital, but who is Prince Chun? This is the ninth prince of Emperor Kangxi and the ninth brother of Emperor Jianxing, who was driven out of the Central Plains early in the morning. I heard that he was struggling in the Western Regions.

"Don't be afraid, I didn't come back secretly. This time I came to Beijing to see the Emperor Ming Dynasty, not a spy." Seeing that Guan Xiaowu was unstable, Prince Chun understood what he was worried about after thinking about it for a moment. He immediately smiled and took out an identity card for him to show it. Seeing this card, Guan Xiaowu then breathed a long sigh and a smile appeared on his face again.

"Sorry, Master Jiu, I... I'm a little... just now..."

"It's okay, if it were me, I'd think the same as you." Prince Chun patted Guan Xiaowu's shoulder and said kindly: "It's been so many years since you left. It seems that you are living a good life now. Since you meet it, it's fate. I feel relieved to see you again."

After saying that, Prince Chun didn't want to make Guan Xiaowu embarrassed because of his identity. He immediately smiled at him and nodded, turning around and leaving.

When Prince Chun turned around, Guan Xiaowu's face looked very entangled, seemed a little relaxed, and also a little embarrassed, but more of it was ashamed.

"Nine...Jiu Master!" Finally, when Prince Chun had already taken a few steps and was two or three meters away from Guan Xiaowu, Guan Xiaowu could no longer hold it back and called Prince Chun.

"Xiao Wu, what else is there..."

"Master Jiu, you were right just now. Since you met, it was fate. I was taken care of by your side by Master Jiu back then. This time, Master Jiu, you are back in Beijing. If Master Jiu, you will hide when you see Master Jiu, then I am considered a person? If Master Jiu, you don't mind, let me invite you to have a drink?" Guan Xiaowu seemed to have made up his mind and finally said his heart.

"Please treat me to drink?" Prince Chun looked at Guan Xiaowu, and saw his persistence in his expression and nodded with a smile: "Okay! I just returned to Beijing yesterday and haven't had time to drink the wine from Beijing again. What's wrong? Xiaowu, where are you planning to invite me to drink?"

"Of course it's Zuixianlou!" Guan Xiaowu said without thinking: "I remember that Jiu Ye liked the wine and food over there back then. Today, the younger one came to serve, so please invite Jiu Ye to Zuixianlou to get drunk!"

"Okay! Why are you still standing? Let's go!" Prince Chun laughed, and for a moment, it seemed like he was back when he was the prince.
