The reason why Zhu Xiongying didn't want to eat the man's candied haws was actually very simple.
Since that person is Yi Rong as the hawker's guard, can the candied haws he sells be delicious?
I don't know where I made it by fooling around.
Moreover.
Zhu Xiongying didn't like sweets at first.
See grandchildren are not interested.
Zhu Yuanzhang did not force it.
He swaggered over and asked the peddler:
"You candied haws...how did you sell them?"
The peddler saw the Long Live Lord asking the question himself, and his legs were already shaking.
For an instant.
At least dozens of ideas popped up in the hawker's mind.
"What does Long Live Lord mean by coming up to talk to me like this?"
"Isn't it implying that I can show up to protect them?"
"No, it doesn't sound like an order..."
Just when the hawker was struggling.
Zhu Yuanzhang stared and said:
"What do you think?"
"Let me ask you how to sell candied haws!"
Being scolded like this.
The peddler was taken aback, and immediately said in a daze:
"Two...two pennies in a string."
"Okay, give me a bunch."
As he spoke, he threw down two pennies, picked the biggest bunch of candied haws and left.
Seeing him like this, Zhu Xiongying said speechlessly:
"Grandpa, didn't we tell you that you don't want to eat?"
"My dear grandson, this food is sour and sweet, but it's delicious," Zhu Yuanzhang tried to persuade Zhu Xiongying, holding the bought candied haws in front of him and said, "You really don't want to eat it?"
Zhu Xiongying answered decisively:
"Don't eat."
"Well, grandpa bought this for you, and you don't even want to eat it," Zhu Yuanzhang looked regretful, then changed the topic, and said, "But I bought everything, so I can't throw it away. It's too much to eat if you don't eat it." wasted……"
"Grandpa, come and eat."
Okay.
It's such a big turn around.
Dare to feel that you want to eat it yourself, but you are too embarrassed to buy it for yourself, right?
Still want to use me as a shield?
On this street, you, a person in your 60s and [-]s, are not ashamed to eat a candied haws?
Zhu Xiongying complained a few words in his heart.
Before he finished complaining.
I only heard Zhu Yuanzhang "bah" a few times, and said angrily:
"What's the matter, why is this thing so unpalatable?"
"A bad smell?"
After eating a hawthorn, Lao Zhu spit it out before chewing it a few times.
Then, Zhu Yuanzhang threw the candied haws into a basket on the side of the road, and cursed angrily:
"What a fool..."
"I can't make a bunch of candied haws well."
Zhu Xiongying couldn't help complaining in his heart:
They don't specialize in making candied haws... they learn martial arts as guards...
"Grandpa, if you really want to eat it, after you get back, call someone to make candied haws and go to the palace to make it for you."
Hearing what Zhu Xiongying said, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately shook his head like a rattle.
"How can we do this kind of thing, we are the king of a country, we will be ridiculed."
Zhu Xiongying smiled and suggested:
"It's simple, you just say it's your grandson and I want to eat it, isn't that all right?"
Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes lit up, clapped his hands and said:
"good idea."
But soon, he regained his steady look, and said:
"I'll talk about the candied haws later, let's go shopping first."
Zhu Xiongying looked around and said curiously:
"Why didn't you see He Li?"
"It's a little strange that someone who wants to make meritorious service doesn't stay by our side at this time..."
Zhu Yuanzhang replied in a low voice:
"We let him go to work."
Lao Zhu looked up at the sun and estimated the time in his heart.
Then, he lowered his head and said to Zhu Xiongying:
"How about we go shopping elsewhere now?"
……
The outskirts of the east of Yangzhou City.
He Li and Zhao Taichu rode horses and led dozens of officers and soldiers to the outside of the military household's village in a grand manner.
"Brother He, this is the village where military households gather. There are a total of 370 households here, all of which are military households under my command."
Zhao Taichu introduced.
He Li got off his horse and looked around.
It was the busy season of farming, and most of the men in the village had gone to the fields.
There were only women and children left in each household, but these people seemed to be very scared when they saw the officers and soldiers, and they all hid in their houses.
Seeing this scene, He Li couldn't help frowning.
It's really weird that military households are afraid of officers and soldiers.
Seeing He Li's expression, Zhao Taichu quickly laughed and said:
"These women and children are relatively timid, Brother He, please don't take offense."
"Brother He, look, although they are all hiding...but every family is living a very good life. It can be said that every family has surplus food, so how can there be any illegal things?"
"You Xiaoxiao must have framed him with a false accusation!"
talking.
Zhao Taichu approached and hinted:
"Brother He, please, after you go back, please speak kindly to the Governor's Mansion for me...Brother, my life is safe here, and I will never forget your kindness, Brother He."
He Li was noncommittal and walked forward.
Zhao Taichu quickly followed.
When he came to the door of a house, He Li knocked on the wooden door rhythmically a few times.
Seeing this, Zhao Taichu shouted loudly:
"Is there anyone here?"
"Come here and open the door!"
Soon.
The wooden door creaked and was pushed open.
He Li looked down and found that there were only three children who were less than half the height of an adult in this house.
The three children looked terrified, and two of them hid behind the taller child.
Seeing this, He Li calmed down and asked softly:
"Son, where are your parents?"
The taller child timidly replied:
"Father... went to work in the fields..."
"Mother, mother also went to help."
He Li nodded, and then looked around for a week.
inside the house.
All kinds of furniture are also complete, and there are some food and even fruits on the table.
It seems that it really doesn't look like a very difficult life.
but……
He Li was very puzzled.
These children looked very scared, and the two younger ones were even shivering.
Just came in and asked two questions, as to be so scared?
Moreover, children are inherently greedy, and these three children look extremely thin...
Then why are there no traces of people touching the food on the table?
These three children...
It's not like the owner of this house, but more cramped like a guest.
This scene is really too weird.
He Li did not clarify the doubts in his heart.
He knew that even if he asked, Zhao Taichu must have already prepared an answer.
No matter how much you ask, you can't find the truth.
but.
He Li is not in a hurry.
When he came this time, he didn't intend to see the truth directly.
Chapter 73 It's time for us to investigate
Zhao Taichu saw that He Li was looking around all the time, afraid that he might see something.
He coughed softly, and then said:
"Brother He, how are you?"
