"It's a long story, and it has nothing to do with you as an outsider, so the most I can tell you is that Ruocheng and I are going to understand the sentiments of the people." Huang Chenling said arrogantly while eating.
"Ruocheng, are you forced to accompany this self-righteous fool? Just tell me and I will help you throw him out immediately." Naxiao ignored Huang Chenling and said with a smile to Yan Ruocheng.
"Are you looking for death? You call me Hunjun at all times, and I will arrest you and behead you at the first command!" Huang Chenling slapped the table and said threateningly.
"Oh, I'm really scared. I'm afraid that you, a foolish king who doesn't even have a bodyguard with you, would borrow my carriage to come here to have a meal." Na Xiao said teasingly.
"You guy!"
Huang Chenling was so angry that he wanted to slam the table again, but Yan Ruozhen held down his hand and said: "Shh, you can't talk when you eat or sleep. Can you eat quietly? Naxiao, don't shout all the time."
If someone hears what he is doing, he will cause a lot of trouble."
"What are you afraid of? If someone hears it, just say that his name is just like this, with the last name being Hun and the first name being Jun. Isn't that enough?" Na Xiao continued.
Listening to this, Yan Ruocheng almost burst out laughing.
"You look like you want to laugh?" Huang Chenling stared angrily at Yan Ruocheng who was holding back her smile.
"No, I won't laugh at you. Okay, Na Xiao, don't make fun of this anymore. You like to eat vegetables, eat a few more to stuff your mouth." Yan Ruozhen held the eggplant for Na Xiao.
Huang Chenling also deliberately shook the bowl beside her, coughed slightly, and signaled that she would also help him pick up the food.
"You have eaten so much dried salted fish recently, please eat more meat." Yan Ruozhen said dotingly while giving it to him.
"Okay, you eat some too. Open your mouth and I'll feed you." Huang Chenling was immediately coaxed back by her.
"It's annoying, don't do it."
"If you want, let's eat."
Seeing their indifferent display of affection, Na Xiao felt very disgusted. He vomited and said, "Can you eat normally?"
"Isn't it normal to feed us like this? If you think it's an eyesore, you can carry us here to eat, or you can go out and eat." Huang Chenling said displeased.
"Okay, then everyone should stop eating. I feel sick when I see you!" Naxiao became even more upset and stood up to yell at him. He accidentally knocked over a dish.
"Do you think it's great to knock over a dish? I can do the same!" Huang Chenling didn't know which stupidity she had provoked, but she also imitated others and deliberately knocked over another dish.
Naxiao wanted to continue fighting with him and knocked over a plate of tofu. Huang Chenling also knocked over a plate of fish.
The two of them were completely like two vindictive children, venting their anger in a childish way.
"That's enough——!" Yan Ruozhen slapped the table angrily and became fierce towards the two of them.
"You are still young! Fighting spirit is fighting spirit. Why are you wasting food like this? Sit down and eat all the food you spilled!"
"Scared, don't stop. It's so dirty after being spilled. It will make your stomach uncomfortable if you eat it." Huang Chenling shook her head and said.
"Yes, I'll ask the shopkeeper to cook something else. I don't want these." Na Xiao agreed with Huang Chenling's opinion.
"We are so in tune, why don't we quarrel?" Yan Ruocheng said while clearing the dishes on the table.
"I'm too lazy to argue with him." Huang Chenling said boringly.
"I'm too lazy to pay attention to him." Na Xiao turned away and said.
"You guys eat slowly by yourselves. I'll take these to feed the local dogs. I'm too lazy to get between you fools and try to persuade them!" Yan Ruozhen went out carrying the plate.
"Where are you going to feed the local dogs? Let me bring you a plate." Huang Chenling hurriedly followed Yan Ruocheng.
"Why are you following me out? If you don't want to continue arguing with Na Xiao," Yan Ruocheng said.
"You're just making a fuss with him, why are you angry?" Huang Chenling asked.
"I'm not angry." Yan Ruocheng poured the dishes into the rice bowl of the local dog raised by the shopkeeper. The native dog family ate happily.
"Then you walked out with a straight face again?" Huang Chenling said that she noticed that she was angry, even though she said she was not.
"I just don't like you guys wasting food. Look at this family of native dogs. They are happy to have something to eat, but you waste food just for the sake of fighting." Yan Ruozheng pointed to the native dogs on the ground who were fighting for food.
The dogs said expressionlessly.
"They may be used as ingredients by the shopkeeper at any time. You can only eat them for one meal." Huang Chenling said realistically.
"That's why I'm angry." Yan Ruocheng said with a straight face again.
"Scared?" Huang Chenling was confused by her.
"I look at things differently from you. You can waste things as you please, but I care about the existence of this thing and its significance. I can make good use of it, not for my own benefit.
And its role cannot be wasted in vain. You keep saying that you need to understand the sentiments of the people, but you basically don’t know what the sentiments of the people are. You only rely on watching the memorials of a few so-called loyal ministers or sending people to make unannounced visits. After so-called analysis,
After that, you issued the so-called correct edict. And whether it was done well or not, you relied on the so-called reports of loyal ministers to judge. It is simply a blind way of the emperor." Yan Ruocheng said a lot of plausible things at once.
opinions come out.
Huang Chenling was stunned when she heard this. Her brain hadn't turned around yet.
"Are you trying to say that I'm not running the country well?" he said in summary.
"This does not mean that your governance is not good. It means that you cannot deeply understand the people's sentiments. You can hear or look at one-sided phenomena, but there is still more than half of the real situation, and you can't see anything."
"I will work hard and make a decision with my eyes wide open. You will be by my side to remind me."
"I didn't remind you!"
Yan Ruozhen hit him on the head and said, "It's you who reminded yourself. I don't like you being called a foolish king either."
After listening to it for so long, Huang Chenling finally understood what she cared about. It turned out that she cared about him being called a foolish king by Na Xiao.
He sighed, went over to hug her, and said, "I promise you, I will make people's lives better in the future." After that, he kissed her forehead.
"Take your time. I believe you." Yan Ruocheng smiled.
"At least now we want this native dog's family to stop worrying about fighting for food." Huang Chenling suddenly looked at the native dog and said.
"Scared?" It was Yan Ruocheng's turn to be stunned.
In the early morning of the third day, they got on the carriage again and started to set off.
Na Xiao was also traveling with them, and coincidentally he was also going to the border to pick up the goods.
"Why do you bring these native dogs with you? Do you still think my carriage is not narrow enough?" Nahuo pointed at the six native dogs and said in disgust.
"How much space can it take up for you? It's just two big dogs and four puppies. If they don't let go, they will be used as food by the shopkeeper. Of course, they will have to be sold to raise them." Huang Chenling explained.
.
Yan Ruocheng was playing with a few puppies on the side and didn't pay much attention to them.
"Didn't you say you wanted to understand the sentiments of the people? Are you going to take the native dog with you like this?" Na Xiao asked.
"Is your carriage here?" Huang Chenling directly treated his carriage as a kennel.
"My carriage will not let you keep a local dog." Na Xiao said angrily.
"Naxiao, no, he is joking with you. After we arrive at the inn, we will find someone to transport the native dog back to our residence in the city. Don't worry that my native dog will dirty your carriage," Yan Ruocheng explained.
explain.
"No, I didn't say I wouldn't let you, I just wouldn't let him." Na Xiao was targeting Huang Chenling.
Huang Chenling curled her lips and took the trouble to pay attention to him.
An hour later, the carriage finally arrived at the inn.
There is a small town next to the inn, which is convenient for travelers to buy some daily necessities and replenish dry food. There is also an inn for people to rest.
"Let's find an inn to take a rest first," Na Xiao suggested.
"It's best to find a bigger room." Huang Chenling looked at the environment and said.
Yan Ruocheng stepped on him and said displeasedly: "You're like this again."
Huang Chenling was stunned for a moment, almost not knowing what she was talking about. Yes, he had to understand the people's sentiments and couldn't just live well and eat well. He had to experience it from the lower level.
Na Xiao looked at them, as if Yan Ruocheng was teaching Huang Chenling, and couldn't help but snicker.
In the end, Naxiao chose a relatively spacious inn, which was convenient for them to stay with their native dogs.
Huang Chenling took advantage of Yan Ruocheng and Na Xiao to talk to the consignor in the room and walked out quietly.
He was going to find the secret guard in this small town and explain something.
In the inn room.
After Yan Ruozhen negotiated with the consignor, she realized that Huang Chenling was missing.
"Huh? Where did Chen Ling go?" She couldn't help but ask after looking around.
"Where can I go? I should go buy new clothes. He is such a pampered person. If you let him wear coarse clothes and linen, of course he will have to change." Na Xiao said without thinking.
"Don't talk about him like that, he has changed a lot." Yan Ruocheng favored Huang Chenling and said in defense of him.
"After all the changes, he is still a weak king who cannot bear hardships." Na Xiao said boringly.
"You always say that he is a foolish king. Isn't it because he tricked you that you hold a grudge to this day?" Yan Ruozhen said vomiting.
"He made me unable to even serve as an envoy. How can I not bear grudges against him?" Na Xiao said angrily.
"It's okay if you don't do it. Didn't you almost die doing the task before? Now it's much safer to be a businessman, wouldn't it be even better?" Yan Ruocheng said comfortingly.
"It's weird to be safe. You don't know how many people I offended when I was an envoy and how many people wanted to seek revenge from me. I have been a foreign trade merchant incognito for so many years." Na Xiao said helplessly.
"So if you had been merciful and merciful back then, you would have ended up like this." Yan Ruocheng said.
"Don't always target me and favor that stupid king. It's so obvious. We haven't seen you for so many years, why don't you pay more attention to me? It's so heartless!" Na Xiao said sullenly.
"So has your rheumatism gotten better in the past few years? Do you have regular attacks of strong winds and rains?" Yan Ruocheng asked seriously.
"Can you ask me some interesting topics?" Na Xiao replied even more sullenly.
