In the suburbs of Fuzhou.
The wind blew, and the fragrance of flowers was intoxicating. It was the spring season in the south.
"Phew!"
"Prince, we've been on the road for a day. There's a teahouse in front. Let's rest while I go and get some game.”
Lin Yuantu stopped the carriage and said to Zhu Housan.
"Yuantu, this is your hometown. Of course, you'll be the one to arrange it. I'm only responsible for eating, drinking, and having fun!”
Zhu Housan smiled and hit Lin Yuantu's head with his fan.
"Yes, sir!" After saying that, Lin Yuantu pulled open the curtain of the carriage, and a young man in a white robe walked out. It was Zhu Housan.
"Prince, don't look through this tavern. It's an old shop that has been around for decades. Lao Cai's cooking skills were especially good, and he was even better at cooking wild game!”
Perhaps it was because Lin Yuantu had returned to his hometown that he was a little talkative.
"Zhao Min, Sanniang, Yuyan, you heard it, right? You guys should get off the car and eat something together. Today, this prince won't pay for it, but I'll eat a big family like Yuan Tu!”
Zhu Housan pointed at Lin Yuantu and said with a smile.
"It's Yuantu's honor for the prince to let him in!”
Lin Yuantu said with a smile.
They entered the tavern.
"Lao Cai, you're being too slow. In the past, you always came out to lead the horses personally!”Lin Yuantu said loudly as he walked into the tavern.
However, at this moment, the hotel was quiet. A young girl in green beside the wine hut with two brambles on her head was preparing the wine. Her face was facing inward and she did not turn around.
Lin Yuantu looked at the girl with some doubts and said," Miss, where's Lao Cai? Why isn't he leading the horse?”
This was the sound of coughing in the inner hall. A white-haired old man walked out and said,"Guest, please sit. Do you want to drink?"
Lin Yuantu asked curiously when he heard the old man's northern accent.
"Who are you? Where is Lao Cai?"
After saying that, he even carefully guarded his surroundings.
Seeing Lin Yuantu's reaction, the old man smiled and replied," Sir, you may not know this, but this old man's surname is Sa. He's a local and has been doing business outside since he was young. His son and daughter-in-law have both died, so he thought that the tree would grow taller and the leaves would fall back to their roots. That's why he brought his granddaughter back to his hometown.”
After saying that, the old man smiled bitterly. He continued.
"Who knew that after leaving home for more than 40 years, none of my relatives and friends in my hometown were left. Coincidentally, Lao Cai of this hotel didn't want to work anymore, so he sold it to the little old man for 30 taels of silver. Sigh, I'm finally back in my hometown. Hearing everyone speak their native language, I feel indescribably comfortable and ashamed. I can't even speak it myself.”
Lin Yuantu nodded and didn't say anything. After all, it was common for people to change their accents when they left home at a young age. In addition, they had come out temporarily, so it was impossible for anyone to specially come and kill them.
"Yuantu. Go get some wild game for this young master!”
Zhu Housan looked at Lin Yuantu and said.
"Yes, Young Master!"
Lin Yuantu then walked out.
"Dear guests, what would you like to drink?”The white-haired old man bowed and asked.
"Three pots of Bamboo Leaf Green, and make me some specialty dishes!”Zhu Houcan looked at the white-haired old man and said.
"Alright, please take a seat first!" The old man then walked back.
Jiang Yuyan took out her handkerchief and wiped a bench clean.
"Young Master. Please take a seat first. Yuyan, go wash these cups!”
After saying that, Jiang Yuyan prepared to wash the cups.
"Come back. Yuyan, you and Sanniang have been taking care of me along the way. Today, the two of you should sit down and rest. Zhao Min, go wash the cups and chopsticks for me!”
Zhu Houcan said as he looked at Zhao Min, who was pouting.
"You!" Zhao Min was a little angry and a little confused. She didn't care about washing the dishes.
"What, do you have an opinion? Who said that she was hardworking, obedient, and sensible, and begged me to bring her out?”
Zhu Houcan looked at Zhao Min and said.
" I…I…" Zhao Min was a little speechless.
That's right, Zhao Min had taken the initiative to beg Zhu Housan to come out. The main reason was to build a good relationship with Zhu Housan. She knew very well that she had become an abandoned pawn in Yuan Meng. Only by finding value in Zhu Housan could she take revenge. For this, she would do whatever Zhu Housan asked her to do.
"Young Master, Sister Zhao has been living a luxurious life since she was young. I'm afraid she will break some. After all, we did it when we were young!" As she spoke, Jiang Yuyan took the cups and bowls and walked to the well.
"Alright, the two of you should sit down too. You're always thinking about becoming a heroine.”
Yan Sanniang was no longer as afraid of Zhu Houcan as she was before. She said to Zhu Houcan," We still have you, the eldest young master. If we can't do it, we'll warm your bed!" We can't escape anyway!"
"You're too much, girl. How can you talk to Young Master like that?”Zhu Houcan hit Yan Sanniang's head angrily.
"I say, Young Master Zhu, I didn't expect you to treat your subordinates so well. I saw that you were holding an imperial edict in your hand, right?”
Zhao Min looked at Zhu Houcan and said with a smile.
"I talked to Big Brother Yuantu before. He said that you helped his nephew get a thousand-family background. This commander is probably for Big Brother Yuantu's brother!”Zhao Min looked at Zhu Houcan and said with a smile.
"Yuantu probably can only follow me for the rest of his life. After all, he has been chaste since he was young in order to serve me. I can't let him die. This imperial edict was specially requested to let his brother have another child and adopt him under Yuantu's name!”
"I didn't expect you to be so smart. A small thousand-household is a thousand-household with just a word from me. Of course, the commander has an imperial edict!”
Zhu Houcan pointed at Zhao Min.
"Plop!"
Zhu Houcan heard a thud.
Then he turned his head.
Lin Yuantu knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Zhu Houcan.
"Yuantu, what are you doing?”
Zhu Houcan looked at the wild chickens and rabbits that Lin Yuantu had brought back and asked with a smile.
"Yuantu, thank you, Young Master!"
Lin Yuantu said with reddened eyes.
"Alright, don't be like a little girl. Hurry up and take a look. If their chef's cooking skills are not good, you can cook. Young Master is hungry!”
Zhu Houcan pretended to be impatient.
"Yes, Young Master!"
Lin Yuantu hurriedly ran back.
"Serves you right for being so powerful!”
Zhao Min shook her head and said self-deprecatingly.
"To think that I once dreamed of defeating you!”
"Because of what?"
Yan Sanniang looked at Zhao Min in confusion.
"The ruler treats his subjects as his hands and feet, and the subjects treat the ruler as their confidants. If the monarch treats the minister like a dog or a horse, the minister treats the monarch like a countryman. If the monarch treats his subjects like dirt, the subjects will treat the monarch like enemies.”
Zhao Min smiled as she read out this paragraph.
