The fire in Zhu Hen's heart couldn't be suppressed no matter what, without looking forward and backward, what he always wanted to do, instead, it was so simple.

But it was just a success. Seeing Xiao Zhuang Zhuang's obviously hungry eyes tearing up, he still kept quiet, hugging Xiao Jiao and being obedient, his heart twitched with pain, and he calmed down instantly.

The outskirts of Kyoto are either stretches of farmland or dense forests suitable for hunting. There must be farmhouses and hunters’ houses nearby.

After all, adults can endure hardships, but they can't suffer children too.

Zhu Hen found a few scattered thatched farmhouses, but there were no people there, only one with blue tiles and white walls, and a stone lion at the door.

Looking up at the sky, the sun was shining in the sky, the tenants should be busy with spring plowing, and they would probably come back very late.He lowered his head to look at Xiao Zhuang Zhuang, who was in his arms. The little guy was so sleepy and hungry that he lost his eyesight.

Zhu Hen gritted his teeth, gave up his original idea of ​​borrowing a kitchen from an ordinary tenant's house, and knocked on the door of the blue tile house.

The old man who came to open the door was an old man with a lame leg. He was frightened when he saw Zhu Hen. He stared wide-eyed for a long time. Before he could speak, he turned his head and ran in, shouting, "Master, master, grand master!" Here we come, the great master is here..."

Zhu Hen's face darkened immediately, he patted Xiao Zhuangzhuang who was startled, and asked Xiao Jiaojiao to look for food by himself.Regardless of whether the people inside could guess his identity or what they would do, he had no reason to turn back.

The lord in the lame old man's mouth came very quickly, with a big round belly and a greasy mouth. He opened his mouth to yell, but when he saw the traces, he seemed to be choking on his saliva, and he coughed persistently while rubbing his neck.At the same time, several women and a child in open pants came out.

Zhu Hen could see clearly that one of the women who came out was full of contempt before she even looked her in the eye. If he changed his clothes, he would definitely be regarded as an autumn wind blower.

He thought for a while, retracted his toes turned outwards, no longer guarded, and said politely: "I have disturbed the master of your mansion, Wan Sheng and the child passed by here, and should have continued on the road, but the child was so hungry that he came to beg for a few eggs. goat's milk."

As he spoke, he took off a jade pendant hanging from his waist and handed it to the lame old man.

The lame old man hesitated to answer, until his expression was extremely contemptuous, and after seeing the Zhu Mark jade pendant, the woman whose eyes were glued to her face slammed her handkerchief and asked, "Lame, do you want to take a nap after eating too much breakfast?"

The woman was not dressed like the wife of the main house, but she was able to show her prestige. Just asking this question, the lame old man trembled immediately, took the jade pendant tremblingly, and handed it to the master tremblingly.

The master's eyes fell on the jade pendant, he snatched it away, and when he got it, he kept touching it stickily, and muttered, "Okay, good thing, good thing."

Several women who came out together hurriedly huddled into a pile, stretched their necks to look around, except for the child with open crotch pants, who looked at Zhu Hen foolishly.

Such a test showed the severity of this family.

Zhu Hen is completely at ease, because he is afraid that people are not greedy. Greedy people don't care who you are or where you come from, they only care about whether the benefits are enough or not.He nodded reservedly with his chin tucked in, pretending to be a noble young man in Beijing.

"If you like it, you can give it to the master. I don't know if it is convenient to borrow the kitchen."

The master didn't agree all of a sudden. Just as he was about to take a closer look at the marks of the wish, several hands touched the jade pendant. He quickly slapped them away one by one, held the jade pendant tightly in his palm, and hurriedly ordered, "Go, take the jade pendant." This young master went to the kitchen to help out."

The lame old man was stunned for a moment, and stammered: "Pi, the kitchen is at the other end of the lady's room. It's been a long time, it's useless..."

As he spoke, he looked at Zhu Hen with an anxious expression on his face.

Zhu Hen smiled, and pointed to the carriage parked outside, "I need to trouble the old man to feed me some food."

When the family saw the carriage, their eyes lit up, and they all looked like fat sheep. Only the master's hand holding the jade pendant paused suddenly, and his lips trembled almost invisibly.

He turned sideways to cover his uncontrollable expression, waved his hands and said impatiently: "Hurry up, if you can't use it in the kitchen, you can use ours, but you have to see clearly, the chicken that the young master ate is still stewed on it , I can’t miss a bite.”

The lame old man quickly untied the harness and pulled it inside, and kept looking back at Zhu Hen.

Zhu Hen finally looked at the master who was turned sideways and couldn't see his expression clearly, frowned slightly, and still raised his heels.

Goat's milk was just a random word, but I didn't expect it to be available here. While making goat's milk custard, I chatted with the lame old man without saying a word.

Xiao Zhuangzhuang smelled the smell of stewed chicken, opened his eyes with a flood of saliva, stared straight at the steaming earthen pot, and raised his nose from time to time, swallowing his saliva, but he still obediently grabbed hold of it. Dad's trousers, snuggled up to the side, looked like the lame old man was about to burst into tears.

"Old, master, I don't know how to talk. It's a pity that such a precious son of yours is so hungry. You, the egg has not been laid for a long time, why don't you drink some chicken, chicken soup..."

Zhu Hen shook his head and poked the matches under the earthen stove to make them burn more vigorously. The few words before had already thoroughly touched the family.The head of the household is surnamed Wang, who was originally a wealthy landowner and always wanted to marry a lady from a great family, but it is a pity that such an identity is left in the capital, so there is no respectable family.

I had to marry a few concubines and continue to turn on the lights first.Later, this Wang Yuanwai was really not reconciled, and he joined a family with the same surname as Wang, donated an official to become a member, and finally married a lady.

It was they who were defeated by the Wang surname. They couldn't continue to be officials, so they bought land in the suburbs of Beijing, lived here, and could visit the capital from time to time.

How the family surnamed Wang who climbed up fell down. The lame old man couldn't tell, only that he fell down.

Zhu Hen thought about it for a while, and felt that it would be better to leave here after feeding Xiao Zhuangzhuang, changing the carriage.

Xiao Zhuangzhuang was just like the old man said, he was very hungry, he would eat anything, and he was not picky at all.

Zhu Hen looked sad, and became sleepy after eating an egg.

After seeing Wang Yuanwai again, before he could open his mouth, a woman spoke, never leaving his carriage.

Zhu Hen heard the grunt of his son who had just fallen asleep after eating, and quickly patted and patted again. He glanced coldly at the woman who was still the lame old man after drinking. Seeing her shut up and back away, she lowered her voice and slowed down. Tun said:

"Thank you for your generosity and help. There are people in the family who are worried. Since the child is full and sleepy, he should leave this place and return home quickly. However, the horse is tired and the car is dirty. I wonder if there is a carriage for me at the master's house." Once I change it, I will ask the servants to return the carriage when I return home."

As soon as Wang Yuanwai evaded, he was pinched down by the woman. He jumped up in pain and pointed at the woman for a long time. After all, he didn't swear, but just lowered his head and pulled her, "Baby his mother!" , We have already taken advantage of it enough, and the carriage is not ordinary at first glance, so don't get into trouble before we enjoy it."

The woman twisted her hand a few more times, muttering something, Zhu Hen didn't listen any more, left and right were just scheming, she just wanted his carriage.

The carriage was finally changed, and there was an extra bag of silver. For this reason, I could still hear the woman swearing at the businessman and scolding Huai when I went far away.

Zhu Hen weighed the money, showed a mocking smile, and said to Xiaojiaojiao: "Prodigal women must not marry, no wonder that girl wants to marry a lady from a great family, but I don't think that lady from a big family has ever been married." Appearing, probably living in such a family is not good. Forget it, it’s none of my business, anyway, I can’t ask for this carriage, more money is good.”

Zhu Hen drove the car back to the capital, and sold it cheaply to a family who wanted to travel far away. Then he changed his clothes and pretended to be a leisurely scholar.Xiao Zhuangzhuang didn't wrong him, he just stripped away all the things in the palace and put on the fat little padded jacket that the common people on the street wore in the early spring.

The padded jacket was not as light as the fur coat, and the little Zhuang Zhuang walked erratically, looking more and more like a rolling ball.

Zhu Hen saw that Xiao Zhuang was almost the same as when he was in the palace, and he was not thin, so he finally felt a little relieved.

Then out of Kyoto again.It was a bit troublesome when I went out of the city, everyone was looking for the man with the child, but fortunately he put Xiao Zhuangzhuang in the back basket in advance, and on it was Xiao Jiaojiao who pretended to be injured, pretending to be a beast that sold some traps, and came to exchange some The look of money.

This time I was lucky, during the cross-examination, I also ran into Xu Orion, who had been running outside all the year round, and it was because of his boast that he was so good that he was spared the scrutiny.

Zhu Hen simply lied that he was going to Beijing to rush for the exam, but he failed the exam and didn't want to go home, so he had to do this kind of job as a scholar.

Xu Liehu is a rough man, he has special respect for scholars, and he is also a person who lives outside. He can see Zhu Hen's difficulties at a glance, so he finds a long-abandoned house to repair and let him live in it.

Everything is going well, Zhu Hen thinks that Shaodong should not guess that he is still under his nose, as for the future, he still hasn't figured it out... The most important thing is Xiao Zhuangzhuang, and what's in his stomach...
