Chapter 40 You, sir, can’t tell the truth!
Fengyang.
As the sun set, a carriage arrived at its hometown.
"Brother, we have arrived at our hometown."
The younger brother helped up the frail elder brother, who was a little sad and said, "I am waiting to fight in the north and south, just to provide a good life for the people."
"It's a pity that when we look back at the country, at the beginning of the new dynasty, there are still people who don't have enough to eat!"
"Corrupt officials are running rampant, making the people's lives miserable! I just hate that the sword is not good enough, and I can no longer kill thieves for the country!"
After reading this, the veteran brother's eyes shed two lines of clear tears.
"Brother, don't get excited. Let's go to Fengyang first. This is the emperor's hometown. Rumor has it that it is different from other places!"
The younger brother said anxiously: "Let's go eat my brother's favorite roast chicken!"
Driving into Fengyang County, the two brothers still made a lot of jokes.
For example, when we walked to the fresh food aisle, the officer who checked was so frightened that he thought the veteran was transporting living people!
Fortunately, Fengyang has received too many foreign guests and has long been used to it, so he told the two veterans some basic rules.
"Hmph! What a bullshit county magistrate, he came up with such bullshit rules!"
The elder brother of the veteran scolded casually: "But it's far better than those trash with their corpses lying on their backs! Guosheng, remember, we people are not fighting for promotion and wealth, but for the common people of the world!"
Guosheng smiled and said: "Brother, don't worry, Guosheng will not forget your teachings for a moment!"
The two brothers drove to the inn to stay, and then went out to look for food together.
"When I was little, I always missed that bite of roast chicken."
The veteran laughed and said: "It's a pity that my family was so poor in the past that I couldn't bear to throw away even a chicken butt!"
Guosheng recalled the past, when his family was poor and the two brothers would chew chicken bones three times, let alone chicken butts.
"Brother, let's go to this restaurant!"
“Very good!”
As soon as the two brothers stepped into the restaurant, embarrassment appeared on their faces, just because they saw familiar people here!
A bright and beautiful girl was picking up food for the scholar next to her.
The young man on the side, tall and handsome, was jealous of this.
Look at the scholar again, stroking the boy's forehead. They say a tiger's butt can't be touched, let alone the forehead?
But when I saw that young man, he let the scholar touch him and still had a smile on his face.
Princess Ning!
His Highness King Yan!
Guosheng's eyes widened. Who would have thought that he would see two royal relatives in Fengyang?
Although every year the emperor would ask everyone from the royal family to return to Fengyang to worship their ancestors.
But now is obviously not the time, not to mention that in the past, the princes and princesses had always resisted returning to Fengyang.
Just because Fengyang is too poor!
Look at today, there are many shops and the people are prosperous.
Not all the people in the restaurant are wealthy businessmen, but also ordinary people.
Ordinary people don't have spare money to eat in restaurants.
The veteran brother looked at the scholar with deep eyes and said softly: "Who is that? Don't let Princess Ning Guo and His Highness Prince Yan be deceived!"
Guosheng immediately came to his senses and said: "Brother, don't worry, I will go test him later!"
Before he finished speaking, he saw his brother dragging his frail body towards the table of scholars.
Hu Tu committed suicide and went to the border to serve his sentence. It can be said that Yue Lin was in a good mood, so he decided to spend some extravagance today and took Zhu Silang and Zhu Yingrao to a restaurant.
"Shiro, a tadpole has no tail and becomes a frog. If a monkey has no tail, what is it?"
Zhu Silang racked his brains and still couldn't think of an answer.
Zhu Yingrao smiled sweetly on the side and said: "A monkey is still a monkey without its tail? Shiro loses!"
"Master, you are cheating! I thought the monkey would turn into something else if it lost its tail!"
Zhu Di was naturally dissatisfied. His Majesty, the King of Yan, had studied literature and martial arts since he was a child. How could he be stumped by such problems and insist on pestering Yue Lin for another one?
“Let me ask you, what kind of paper in the world can’t you afford?”
Zhu Silang heard this and racked his brains. Whether it was Luoyang paper or Huguang rice paper, he, who was deep in the royal family, could easily buy it.
"Master, what you are saying is nonsense. I can afford any paper! My father is rich!"
Who made my father the Ming Taizu?
When Zhu Di thought of this, a smile appeared on his face.
"Shiro, don't have such a nouveau riche mentality in the future! Look at your elder brother, how calm he is?"
Yue Lin did not panic and entertained, and patted Zhu Di on the little head, "Can you afford the imperial edict? That's nonsense!"
Imperial edict? Homophone?
Zhu Silang looked confused and was about to refute, why should he buy the imperial edict?
Go directly to Wuying Palace to steal it, or at worst, let your brother Zhu Biao stamp it!
Fortunately, Zhu Yingrao had quick eyes and quick hands and covered her brother's mouth.
"What Brother Yue is saying is, Shiro, please don't be too arrogant in the future! Have you forgotten the lessons learned from Hutu?"
Zhu Silang felt aggrieved. Apart from anything else, the imperial edict was wholesaled by his family!
"Little brother..."
The veteran was dressed in coarse linen clothes, and his cold eyes seemed to be able to penetrate people's hearts, "I'm a newbie here, and I have no money to eat. I wonder if my little brother can give me a roast chicken?"
Zhu Silang felt that this person was somewhat familiar, but he couldn't remember him for a while.
Zhu Yingrao recognized this person at a glance. Fortunately, the veteran's eyes indicated that Princess Ning Guo did not identify this person.
"The old man is a soldier, right?"
"Oh? How can you see, little brother?"
The veteran was a little surprised. He was not wearing armor today, let alone carrying a weapon.
"Soldiers speak boldly. This is a habit and way of communication formed in the army."
"Yes, we men in the army hate the honey sword in our mouths and mouths, and the twists and turns."
"The old man walks with his chest held high and his head raised, his eyes fixed forward, and he is aboveboard, which is the characteristic of a soldier."
"What a young man!"
The veteran laughed and said: "I didn't expect that my little brother is very observant. I wonder if I can give my two brothers a roast chicken?"
Yue Lin graciously asked the veteran and Guosheng to sit down, "Both of you are soldiers. It is my honor to treat you to dinner!"
Yue Lin has been taught since childhood that soldiers are the most lovable people.
Yue Lin has a natural affinity for the soldiers who protect their home and country.
"Waiter, come on, come on, add a few more dishes! By the way, don't forget to keep accounts!"
Bookkeeping treat?
Guosheng looked puzzled. This little brother is already so poor that he keeps accounts, so why does the elder brother come to eat and drink?
Looking at His Highness King Yan, he feels at ease when he eats.
Princess Ning Guo's beautiful eyes were always staring at the scholar.
Could it be that this man is the husband the emperor has found for His Royal Highness the Princess?
The veteran was in poor health, so Guosheng accompanied his brother all over the country to spend his last comfortable time.
"Come on! You are so polite! When you come to our restaurant for dinner, we should treat you!"
"Don't come here! I never take advantage of the people, hahaha!"
Yue Lin joked with the waiter for a while, and then asked the two brothers Xiang Guosheng.
"Two veterans, who is your commander in the army? Why are you so stingy? Veterans can't even get their military pay? That's not true!"
Damn you! We were just taking orders from the Emperor!
