It began to rain in southern Zhili.
The summer rain came as it pleased, as big as beans, pouring down from the sky without any regard for its life.
"Imperial Grandfather, let's hide from the rain for a while.”
Zhu Yunwen took off her outer shirt and put it on Zhu Yuanzhang's head. Then, the two of them went under the eaves.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at his grandson's filial piety and thought of many things.
"When you come out, just call us grandpa.”Zhu Yuanzhang corrected Zhu Yunwen.
Zhu Yunwen nodded obediently and said to Zhu Yuanzhang,"Grandpa, I'll go buy an oil-paper umbrella.”
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said," You silly child. The rain in summer always comes and leaves in a hurry. Why do you need an umbrella?" What a waste of money!"
"You haven't done farm work before, so you naturally don't know how to recognize the weather. Back then, we…"
Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to talk about the past, but when he saw Zhu Yunwen shaking off the rain on her outer shirt, he could only stop talking and smile bitterly.
"Grandfather, let's go to the inn to hide from the rain.”
Seeing more and more refugees and beggars gathering around, Zhu Yunwen frowned and suggested to Zhu Yuanzhang.
Although he didn't say anything, Zhu Yuanzhang understood.
The child grew up in the deep palace courtyard, so he naturally did not like these refugees, but did you know? Your grandfather was even worse than them back then!
"No need."
Zhu Yuanzhang said," I'll be leaving in a while. Why waste money to drink tea at an inn?"”
"Oh."
Although Zhu Yunwen disliked the surrounding environment, she didn't say anything.
Before he came, his mother had told him not to say too much. He could say more about being filial to the old master, but he should try not to say anything else.
Seeing the increasing number of refugees around him, Zhu Yuanzhang also frowned.
This was Yingtian Prefecture, the capital of Great Ming!
Why were there so many beggars and refugees?
Zhu Yunwen saw Zhu Yuanzhang frown and quickly said to the surrounding beggars,"Can I trouble you to move to the side?”
Although Zhu Yunwen was still very polite, it was obvious that he had misunderstood Zhu Yuanzhang.
Zhu Yuanzhang's expression suddenly changed!
He glared at Zhu Yunwen with a cold face and shouted,"What are you talking about?"
"Do you know that your ancestors were born beggars in the last three generations?”
"What right do you have to despise these commoners?”
Zhu Yuanzhang had never said such serious words, but Zhu Yunwen's words made Zhu Yuanzhang furious!
Zhu Yunwen was frightened and tears of grievance welled up in her eyes. She held it in and said to Zhu Yuanzhang,"Grandpa, I was wrong. Don't be angry. Don't be angry and ruin your health!”
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at his grandson and sighed slightly. Then, he said earnestly,"This is how we were when we were young.”
"Don't look down on anyone, and don't look down on the ambition of a Han man!”
"I'm a beggar now, but who can guarantee that I'll be a beggar forever?”
"How a person lives depends on the anger in their heart. Don't underestimate anyone!”
"I understand." Zhu Yunwen nodded repeatedly.”
Zhu Yuanzhang's gaze was a little deep, and his face was a little angry.
Hearing his grandson's words, his eyes were filled with disappointment.
As they spoke, the rain lessened.
Zhu Yuanzhang sighed and said,"Let's go out."”
"Good!"
Zhu Yunwen helped Zhu Yuanzhang out.
Although there was still some rain, it was not heavy anymore. However, Zhu Yunwen still stubbornly bought an oil-paper umbrella for Zhu Yuanzhang to hold, afraid that Zhu Yuanzhang would get cold.
As the two of them walked, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly stopped.
"What happened to Grandfather?"
Zhu Yunwen was puzzled.
Following Zhu Yuanzhang's gaze, he saw a young Langjun not far away. He was holding a big bag of buns and was giving alms to the refugees in front of him in a bad mood.
"Eat, eat, eat. Don't f * cking snatch! I'll give you a fart to eat if anyone snatches it!"
"That fatty, get your ass over here! You're so fat, and you still f * cking eat two? Do you think my money isn't money?”
The one who spoke was naturally Zhu Huai.
He had just come out of the Transportation Office with a lot of money in his arms. Seeing so many refugees pouring into Chang 'an Street, he bought some white steamed buns to give alms.
He wasn't a saint, but when he saw these helpless and hungry eyes, he still had a thought.
How was his gaze different from theirs back then?
He had transmigrated to this unfamiliar dynasty, did not know anyone, and did not have a household register. All he could do was beg the nobles to give him a bun.
At first, Zhu Huai felt that this society should be the same as the future, cold and heartless.
Until the pair of old farmers at the foot of Mount Zhong gave him a bowl of rice, which lit up his life.
Until a wild Taoist priest doted on him and took him in. Even if he had to beg for food in the future, Zhu Huai's heart was opened.
However, Zhu Huai also knew that it was useless to be amiable when dealing with these low-class refugees.
That was why he was cursing without restraint.
However, even though they were cursing, there was no anger in the eyes of these refugees. Instead, there was gratitude from the bottom of their hearts.
The fatty whose butt was kicked by Zhu Huai had a dirty face and looked to be no more than seven or eight years old. He chuckled and put down the other bun in a very well-behaved manner.
Zhu Huai cursed again." Your f * cking hands are as dirty as if they've been stained with feces. Who would eat them after pinching them?" Take it yourself! Get lost!"
The little fatty happily took another bun and waved proudly, meaning that he had two buns! Then, his dirty face was filled with a smile as he nodded gratefully." Thank you, brother. Thank you, brother."
He saw a large group of refugees rushing over.
Zhu Huai wasn't a kind person, and he couldn't save them all.
These matters should be handled by the imperial government.
However, he was also curious." What happened to you guys? Why were there so many refugees?”
The little fatty hurriedly said," We are all from Huaibei. It has been raining these few days. The Yellow River burst its banks and the village was flooded. We can only come out to beg for food."”
Zhu Huai nodded and looked at the refugees in front of him. He said loudly,"A hundred! I only want 100. Don't miss work at Salt Mountain. Five bucks a day. I'll have enough buns. If you want to go, hurry up and go to Salt Mountain to sign up with Fang Laowu!”
Zhu Huai could only take what he needed.
As soon as he finished speaking, the group of refugees ran away.
"Imperial Grandfather, does this person not know the principle of a snake swallowing an elephant? He seemed to be doing a good deed by giving alms to others, but how many of these refugees could he save?”
"Now, these people are grateful to him, but once the refugees don't have a meal, they will slander him and scold him. Why would he do such a thing?”
Zhu Yunwen shook her head.
Seeing that the old man did not speak for a long time, he looked at Zhu Yuanzhang curiously.
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes were already burning with flames as he said angrily,""At least he's doing it! What about you?"
"Did Corey and the others teach you badly? What a benevolent and moral face! He stood at the top and pointed at others, but he did nothing!”
Zhu Yunwen was shocked.
This was the second time Imperial Grandfather had lost his temper.
But he was clearly not wrong.
