Chapter 1585 The Kind-hearted Naughty Child
At sunset and dusk, the clouds are changing, and the afterglow of the setting sun shines back on the Celestial City, making the whole city seem to be plated with a layer of rose gold.
"I would like to send you all angels to have a rest. I will serve you with home-cooked food and simple meals. I have not treated you well. Please forgive me, angels."
A group of drunken officials gathered in front of the restaurant in the afterglow of the setting sun. Chen Hong and other father-in-law sent him to the eight-carat sedan chair.
"Where is it? Thank you all for your hospitality today. It is a great honor for the Zajia family and others."
A young eunuch opened the sedan curtain, and Chen Hong appeared, clasping his fists and saying to the officials who were seeing him off outside.
"You are so polite, father-in-law. It is our honor to have dinner with you." Wei Guogong and other officials said one after another.
Standing in the crowd, Zhu Ping'an couldn't help but sigh in his heart, what a simple home-cooked meal
In the entire Ming Dynasty, only for the Holy Sage in Xiyuan, this is home-cooked food, right?< br>
Except for the Holy One, there is no one in the entire Ming Dynasty where the common people can afford such home-cooked food.
At least one thousand taels of silver was spent on this meal. Thousands of taels of silver were used to pay soldiers, increase armaments, and improve people's livelihood. They did nothing wrong, but they were given to Huo Huo in just one meal. It is really heartbreaking.
However, people speak lightly and only sigh.
"What do you think, nephew? Let's go back to my house with me. Let's celebrate."
The Marquis of Linhuai patted Zhu Pingan on the shoulder and pulled Zhu Pingan involuntarily. Let's go together, we are so enthusiastic.
The Marquis of Linhuai is so fat that he can compete with the modern cross talk talker Sun Yue. The tonnage is there, and his thighs can't twist his arm. Zhu Pingan really can't refuse.
I had no choice but to follow Linhuai Marquis to his residence in Yingtian. There was nothing important to do.
Zhu Ping'an first said goodbye to Zhang Zhengtai and others, explaining the reasons, and then asked a small official from the Zhejiang Prosecution and Prosecution Department to go back to the Yamen to bring a message to Hua'er and the others, so that they would not have to wait for him for dinner. , I will have dinner at Linhuai Marquis Mansion and go back later.
As for the curfew, it does not exist. Wei Guogong had already given himself a token. With this token, the curfew in Yingtian City was unimpeded.
"Old Li, my nephew, I will go back and find you." Wei Guogong shouted from a distance. As the temporary speaker, he also wanted to explain the arrangements for Chen Hong and others' sleeping quarters. I couldn't leave for a while.
Zhu Ping'an followed Linhuai Marquis to the gate of Linhuai Marquis' Mansion. When he saw the housekeeper Li Er, he trotted forward and reported to Linhuai Marquis: "Master, Master, it's not good." Now, the two masters of the backyard”
Seeing that Zhu Pingan was also there, Li Er hurriedly changed his words, "The two wet nurses in the backyard started fighting."
Hearing this, Zhu Pingan's mouth couldn't help but twitch.
The Marquis of Linhuai is really old and strong. When I came to visit last time, there was only one wet nurse in the house, but now there are two.
Said to be a wet nurse, in name she is a wet nurse for the naughty boy Rui Geer. In fact, she is the concubine kept by the Marquis of Linhuai in the local area, because the imperial court has a law prohibiting foreign officials from marrying local people in the place where they serve. Women were wives and concubines, so the Marquis of Linhuai made some adjustments and claimed to be Rui Geer's nanny.
This also made Brother Rui complain endlessly, saying that he hired a wet nurse for me, but she turned out to be my father’s wet nurse
Li Er said that they were fighting, and it seemed that Marquis Laihuai had a fire in Yingtian's backyard.
This is also the reason why there is no mistress in the backyard. Although the Marquis of Linhuai also has several wives and concubines in the capital, there is the Marquis of Linhuai’s wife sitting in the backyard, and none of the Marquis of Linhuai’s concubines dares to make trouble.
There are only two concubines in Yingtian's backyard, and they are both concubines. No one can block the other. Naturally, no one will obey the other, and naturally it is easy to catch fire.
"Ahem, Li Er, please take your nephew to my study. I'll serve you some tea. Nephew, I'll be back as soon as I go."
When the Marquis of Linhuai heard that there was a fire in the backyard, he immediately When he got up, he arranged for Li Er to take Zhu Pingan to the study. He apologized to Zhu Pingan, picked up his official uniform and ran towards the backyard.
"Uncle, just go. I've been here not once or twice, and I won't see anyone else." Zhu Pingan replied.
"Uncle, please." Li Er invited Zhu Ping'an to come in.
"Thank you, Butler Li." Zhu Ping'an smiled slightly and followed Li Er into the mansion.
"Please take it easy, uncle." Li Er led Zhu Ping'an into Linhuai Marquis' study and served him hot tea and fruit and vegetable snacks.
"Steward Li, you are busy with your business, I will just take care of myself." Zhu Ping'an said with a smile.
"Well, if anything happens, please call me."
Li Er resigned.
After Li Er left, Zhu Ping'an looked through the Marquis of Linhuai's collection of books in the study room of the Marquis of Linhuai. Most of the Marquis of Linhuai's books are for decoration. The row of books on the bookshelf are all brand new. I know it has not been read.
The only one that has ever been read is a popular romance novel.
In modern times, Zhu Pingan is used to reading various fantasy, fairy tale, and historical online novels on Qidian.com, and his appetite has long been developed. The popular romance novels of this era cannot arouse the desire to read at all.
Zhu Ping'an found a copy of the Northern Song Dynasty's Art of War "Tiger Seal Classic" from the bookshelf of Marquis Linhuai, took it out and flipped through it.
After flipping through a few pages, he heard the sound of trotting footsteps coming from outside. Hearing the footsteps, Zhu Pingan knew that a naughty kid was coming.
Sure enough, the next second I saw the naughty kid running into the study room.
"Brother-in-law, I heard that you were coming, and I came over to see you immediately. Hehe, please be touched." Face howling.
"You finally found a reason to skip class." Zhu Pingan could see through the naughty kid's heart at a glance.
"No, I've been studying so well recently. It doesn't matter if I skip a class occasionally." The naughty boy said in a hurry.
Have you learned well? ! Pull it down. I really don’t know where you get your confidence. Every time you feel confident, the end result is that your crotch is stretched out.
Zhu Ping'an didn't believe a word of what he said to the naughty kid.
"Brother-in-law, I heard from my father that you have become a general." The naughty boy asked with his fat face raised.
"That's right." Zhu Pingan nodded.
"Then how many soldiers do you control?" the naughty kid asked.
"There are currently more than 800 soldiers, why are you interested in this?" Zhu Pingan asked.
"Hey, don't I care about my brother-in-law? He has more than 800 soldiers, which is a bit small. My father can manage thousands of people like that."
The naughty kid blinked. Eyes said.
Your father still cares about thousands of dollars. If your father hears this, you will have to eat another bamboo meal.
Zhu Ping'an couldn't help but laugh. This naughty kid was either being beaten or on the way to being beaten.
"Brother-in-law, you have too few soldiers and horses. Let me help you. I will give you my two wet nurses to serve as soldiers. You are welcome. This is what I should do." Brother Rui, the naughty kid, blinked his little eyes and said kindly.
"Thank you, no, we don't accept women in the barracks."
Zhu Ping'an smiled and waved his hand, this naughty boy really dared to think, and wanted to give his father's concubine to him Consigned to the army.
You are really on the road to being beaten and keep moving forward.
"Why don't you accept women? Stop lying to me. There are many women serving as soldiers in the barracks." The naughty boy said with a smile on his face.
"Oh, who told you?" Zhu Pingan asked with interest, thinking that he had discovered a new continent.
"Ancient poetry tells me that in history, there were hundreds of thousands of women in military camps." The naughty boy said with certainty.
"Which ancient poem, what history?" Zhu Pingan twitched the corner of his mouth speechlessly.
"As for the saying, 'One hundred and forty thousand soldiers were all disarmed, and not one of them was a man!' Listen, one hundred and forty thousand soldiers took off their clothes and found that not one of them was a man, so they are all women." The naughty boy said proudly.
Poof.
The sip of tea that Zhu Pingan just took in his mouth spurted out. (End of this chapter)
