After entering the city, Zhao Junsheng sent someone to take over the city defense, and sat in the prefect's mansion to handle military and government affairs.

During dinner that night, Hua Mulan asked, "Brother Junsheng, how long do you plan to let the army stay in White Wolf City?"

Zhao Junsheng said seriously: "Let's go as soon as your monthly letter is clean!"

Hua Mulan blushed and said coquettishly, "Not serious! I'm serious, I'm not joking!"

"What I said is true, and I'm not joking!"

Hua Mulan was about to fight, and Zhao Junsheng hurriedly raised his chopsticks to beg for mercy: "Don't fight, don't fight, talk about business! I think so. The soldiers have fought several battles in a row and traveled long distances for so many days. They are already very tired physically and mentally. I think they should rest for a few days to recover their spirits!"

"One more thing, White Wolf City is not far from Dragon City, but we still don't know the specific situation of Dragon City, and we don't know whether the South Army under the emperor's personal command has arrived in Dragon City, so we must first send spies to investigate After a while, we can only set off when we get the exact news. With our current strength and the state of the soldiers, we rush over, one is that the Yan army in the face of Longcheng seems weak; the other is that it is easy to steal the emperor's limelight!"

"Well then, just rest here for a few days, and make a decision after investigating the situation in Dragon City!" Hua Mulan nodded in agreement.

Zhao Junsheng said: "Taking advantage of these few days of rest, let's go around the city and bring back some local specialties for my mother-in-law. I heard that there are specialties such as velvet antler, chestnut, and apricot plum! There are also pears, jujube kernels, and crabs. We can go and taste it!"

Chapter 527 Picked up a Disciple

Zhao Junsheng's restraint on the generals is still very strong. Since the army entered the city, there has not been a single incident of disturbing the people. ---- Fast update, no anti-theft ---

Compared with the Northern Wei Dynasty, the transactions in the private market of Yan State were more frequent. Limited by the lack of currency, most of the transactions in the Northern Wei Dynasty were barter. In Yan State, copper coins were basically used as the transaction currency, but cloth could also be used Circulate as currency at the time of transaction.

On the first day when the soldiers and horses entered the city, the residents in White Wolf City were still trembling, fearing that the Wei army would start a massacre, and there were not many people on the street. Most of them, those who opened shops opened shops, those who set up stalls set up stalls, and the scene of people coming and going on the street has resumed. Among them, the most lively places are restaurants and wine shops.

Why are restaurants and restaurants doing so well?Residents in the city need a place to listen to Wei Jun's actions, and also need to exchange views on Wei Jun with other residents.

In a rare leisure time, Zhao Junsheng and Hua Mulan walked around the street hand in hand. Hua Mulan was eating cooked chestnuts wrapped in straw paper. She looked to the left and then to the right, very curious.

After shopping all afternoon, Hua Mulan said, "Brother Junsheng, I'm so hungry!"

Zhao Junsheng looked up, "There is a restaurant in front, let's get some appetizers!"

"Okay!"

When the two came to the restaurant, they didn't expect the restaurant's business to be very good, and there was no room left. The waiter saw that the two of them were well dressed, and they should be young ladies from a wealthy family, so they led them to the private room on the second floor.

Since Zhao Junsheng made stir-fry dishes and Tuoba Tao brought them into the imperial palace, stir-fry dishes have been spread in the Northern Wei Dynasty, and soon spread to the Southern Dynasties, but Beiyan is located in a remote place in the northeast, and there are not many exchanges with the Northern Wei Dynasty, so It hasn't been sent yet.

There is nothing delicious in this restaurant, nothing more than boiled mutton, sauced beef, boiled beans, salted peanuts, boiled vegetables, pickles, etc. The reason why it is called a restaurant is not to sell vegetables, but wine, just like a restaurant, except It's just a bit more high-end than a wine shop.

"Follow you and eat your mouth, these things are not delicious!" Hua Mulan said with a bitter face, looking at the table full of vegetables.

Zhao Junsheng said with a smile: "I'll make it for you when I get back. Let's eat something casually now. It's just like this when you go out. I think this sauced beef and pickles are good. Have a bowl!"

In the era of low-alcohol liquor, drinking was done in bowls, pottery bowls, and the bowl was dried in one mouthful, which is the case at this time.It was not until the era of high wine that literati and inkmen switched to wine glasses, small cups, one cup at a time, and for those bold people, they still drink in large bowls.

Not only is this wine low in alcohol content, it has not been filtered, and it is very turbid, but even so, it is still good wine in this era. The grain production is too low these days, and wine made from grain is extremely precious, so the selling price is high.

Zhao Junsheng dropped a peanut and chewed it in his mouth, "Mulan, what do you think of Zhu Xiuzhi?"

"Him?" Hua Mulan showed contempt, "This person is opportunistic, greedy for life and afraid of death, thick-skinned, and shameless!"

Zhao Junsheng shook his head: "On the surface, Zhu Xiuzhi is indeed such a person, but I don't think so. All this is just pretending. He must have some ulterior motive!"

Fascinated by Zhao Junsheng's words, Hua Mulan stopped her chopsticks and asked, "No way, who would pretend to be such an annoying image? Besides, it's not something ordinary people can pretend to be, right? You have to make yourself faceless!"

Zhao Junsheng picked up the wine jar and poured another bowl of wine for himself and Hua Mulan, "If you think about how he was captured in the first place, you will understand whether his current image is fake!" The wine bowl was drained in one gulp.

Mulan's beautiful eyebrows frowned, "I remember he was the skating general of the Southern Dynasties, right? He seemed to hold on for a long time, but he was eventually breached and then captured! Huh...you It seems to make some sense. If Zhu Xiuzhi was the person he is now, how could he have persisted in the death battle for so long? But... maybe it was a moment and a moment, and now he is married The daughter of the clan, the emperor has great trust in her, maybe she will be a different person?"

"The country is easy to change, and the nature is hard to change. How can a person change at will? His current performance is completely opposite to when he insisted on skating!"

The two were talking, when there was a "squeak", the door was pushed open, Zhao Junsheng and Hua Mulan turned their heads to look, and saw a ten-year-old boy with ragged clothes, unkempt hair and a broken bowl, walking away. came in.

"Master, miss, give me something to eat!" The little boy said with a dull expression and stretched out the broken bowl.

Seeing the child like this, Hua Mulan was very pitiful, so she asked, "Little brother, where is your family?"

The little boy said: "Dead!"

"Oh, it's too cute to be an orphan at such a young age..."

Before Hua Mulan finished speaking, the waiter's roar came from outside the door: "Little brat, I told you to get away, and you sneaked in. See if I don't break your dog legs!"

Before the words were finished, the waiter from the store rushed in, grabbed the little boy, and repeatedly nodded and bowed to Zhao Junsheng and Hua Mulan to apologize: "Master, Miss, I'm really sorry, it was my negligence that allowed this kid to sneak in." Disturbing the two of you for drinking, the younger one should be damned, and the younger one will take him away, please don't remember the villain's fault..."

Hua Mulan stopped immediately: "Wait!"

The shop waiter stopped, turned around and bowed with a flattering look: "What else do you want, miss!"

Hua Mulan smiled and waved to the little boy: "Little brother, come here, sister will give you something to eat, come here!"

The little boy broke free from the waiter's hand and ran to Mulan's side. Hua Mulan handed him a big pancake, and put some dishes on each plate for him on a plate.

"Eat, eat slowly, don't choke!"

The shop waiter rubbed his hands anxiously, "Master, Miss, you see, this child disturbed you both for drinking, it really is..."

Zhao Junsheng waved to the shop waiter and asked the little boy, "What's your name? Do you know your own name?"

The little boy chewed with a large pancake in his mouth, and said vaguely, "Brother Jing!"

Zhao Junsheng looked at the waiter in the shop, "Looking at your expression just now, it seems that you know the origin of this child?"

The waiter rubbed his hands and said, "The father of this child was originally the county magistrate of Bailang. His surname was Wei and his name was Han. Because he belonged to the party of the former prince, when the king succeeds today, the party of the former prince Feng Yi will be liquidated. In prison, his mother also died of depression. The uncles and brothers in the family saw that he was young and divided up the family property and fields. The child is now homeless and living on the street. Neighbors see him pitiful and feel grateful for him When my father was in office, he did a few things to benefit the people, so he often helped him a little bit!"

"Poor child!" Hua Mulan was filled with sympathy, and she didn't care about the child's dirtiness, she pulled him into her arms, treating him like her own brother.

Zhao Junsheng was about to wave his hand to let the waiter out, when Hua Mulan said again: "Brother Junsheng, this child is too young, he has no parents, and his uncles and brothers are like wolves and beasts. Let this child live on the streets. He won't live long. Why don't we adopt him?"

Zhao Junsheng was taken aback for a moment, and couldn't help but smile wryly, big sister, there are so many orphans all over the world, can you adopt them?Seeing Hua Mulan's expression, he was afraid that he would decide to adopt the child, so he said, "If you want to adopt him, you must have a name, right? He is the son of the former White Wolf County Magistrate. He was born in a family of officials, if he was allowed to be a follower, it would be difficult to stop other people's mouths, and when he grows up, he will inevitably have a heart of resentment."

"That's it... Brother Junsheng's worries are not

It doesn't make sense, why don't I accept him as a foster brother, I hit it off with this kid! "

Zhao Junsheng shook his head: "Come on, if Xiaoxiong knows that you have taken in a foster brother behind his back, he won't be in a hurry with you? How will he deal with his own brother in the future?"

"This doesn't work, that doesn't work, what do you say, anyway, I can't let him live outside at such a young age!" Hua Mulan played with her temper.

Zhao Junsheng had no choice but to say: "Well, let's take him back first, let him freshen up and change into clean clothes!"

The waiter saw that Zhao Junsheng and Hua Mulan didn't look like bad people, and they had compassion for children, and they couldn't be any worse. This Wei Jing might have a good future if he followed them, so he hurriedly said to Wei Jing: " Brother Jing, what else do you want to eat? Hurry up and thank Miss Young Master for your kindness!"

Wei Jing didn't seem to hear it, he just used his dirty hands to keep picking food into his mouth, Zhao Junsheng and Hua Mulan couldn't help sighing, the child was obviously starving.
