The bright moon in the sky illuminates the Guo family courtyard white.
Guo An and Zhu Di were sitting on a stone table, which was filled with plates of stir-fried vegetables and two large jars of fine wine.
There are two large lamps on the table, illuminating the entire table.
Next to it, there is a clay stove. On the long stove are strings of meat skewers, at least thirty of them. Each piece of meat is as big as a walnut, and one piece of meat can fill a whole restaurant.
Mouth, golden oil dripped sizzlingly under the charcoal grill.
Guo An held a plate of seasonings in his hand. After a while, he sprinkled some on the meat skewers and turned them around.
In less than a moment, the alluring aroma of meat filled the entire courtyard, and even the people next door couldn't resist the temptation.
A group of young men couldn't help but move up a stool, lie on the wall and look here.
However, before they could see clearly, a group of fierce and strong men appeared in front of them, wearing armor and holding halberds, staring at them fiercely.
"Sorry, it's just that the smell of meat in this courtyard is too strong, so I couldn't help but take a look. I'll leave right now!"
"I climbed the wrong wall, I'll leave right away..."
The heads that had just poked out of the wall smiled and quickly retracted.
Under the wall, a group of Yan King's guards were on guard. After glaring at the uninvited guest on the other side of the wall, they looked longingly towards the courtyard where His Highness was.
So delicious!
They have followed His Highness for so long and have seen all kinds of delicacies from mountains and seas, but this is the first time that they can feel such a fragrant meat in their stomachs just by smelling it.
"You really don't look like an official. You are simply an old man, not a magistrate!"
Sitting on the stone bench, Zhu Di couldn't help but sigh with emotion as he watched Guo An fiddle with the clay stove very skillfully.
"Hehe, don't blame me, Your Highness. I don't have any other hobbies. I just like to study some objects, especially food!" Guo An didn't care whether Zhu Di was praising him or hurting him, he just laughed and said.
Seeing that Guo An didn't answer any questions, Zhu Di couldn't help but glare at Guo An, and asked again: "It's been so long, these meat skewers are still not edible?"
"If Your Highness is hungry, you can eat vegetables first!"
As he said that, Guo An took the lead in taking a bite of food, and then picked up the wine glass.
"I would like to propose a toast to Your Highness first!"
By the time I finished speaking, I had already drank a glass of wine.
"Damn it, you young man secretly drinks alcohol in the name of toasting!"
Zhu Di glared at Guo An with disgust on his face, without moving his hands, and drank a glass of wine.
"If you are a gentry, you must be an unscrupulous landlord who harms the people!"
Guo An looked at Zhu Di with a surprised face, "How did your Highness know?"
"No, no, Xianguan is wrong... Xianguan means that the common people are the greatest wealth. If Xianguan becomes a big landowner, he will definitely encourage those common people to cultivate more fields, have more children, and even help them make more money.
!"
Zhu Di couldn't help but look at Guo An in surprise, "How dare you deceive me?"
Guo An said sincerely: "Your Highness, everything I said is true!"
"Huh?"
Zhu Di's face was full of sarcasm, "So, you are still a kind person?"
"Your Highness has misunderstood. This official is also a common person!"
Guo An chuckled and explained: "Whether it is a gentry, a big landowner, or even an official, only the more people under our rule and the richer they are, the more money we can make and the better our lives will be!" "Huh?"
Zhu Di looked puzzled, "Don't those gentry and landlords only become rich by exploiting the people?"
Guo An silently took a bite of food and said, "Your Highness, can you forgive me for making a drunken blunder?"
"Huh?"
Zhu Di's expression condensed again, "What do you mean by this?"
Guo An smiled again, "When I drink too much wine, I will easily make a mistake, so I need to ask Your Highness first. If I say something inappropriate in any way, please just scold Your Highness. Don't take it personally!" p>
With that said, Guo An picked up his wine glass and had a drink with Zhu Di.
Zhu Di said angrily, "Damn it, are you, a thief official, afraid that I, the king, will settle accounts with his queen? Is it possible that, in the eyes of you, a thief official, I am such a stingy person?"
