Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty

  Chapter 331 Prohibition

   Dragging his tired body, Shen Ao cried.

  Tears rolled in the eyes.

  Back to the thatched cottage, in the shop, the sick old woman was still humming.

  Shen Ao ignored her, wiped his tears, feeling that he had been greatly wronged.

  I have never been abused like this in my life.

  At this moment, he was in no mood to look at his dusty face, and sat on the chair, staring blankly.

  The man of this family came back. He was a silent man. When he got home, he buried himself in peeling potatoes and cooking.

  The child lowered his head and was squatting on the ground, playing with the ants on the ground with a branch, with relish.

  Shen Ao didn't bother to talk to them, he was sleepy, very sleepy, but he couldn't fall asleep while sitting.

   After a while, the man brought a bowl of mashed potatoes and held it out in front of Shen Ao.

  The man looks very simple, reticent, with only one pair of eyes, looking at Shen Ao in awe.

  He is obviously afraid of all scholars and is very cautious.

  Shen Ao smelled the aroma of potatoes, so he stared straight at the steaming mashed potatoes in front of him.

  He hesitated, and finally... stretched out his hand, took a deep breath, and finally started to wave his chopsticks like a woman forced to be a woman.

   "Be careful..." The man was only halfway through, and finally said helplessly: "It's hot..."

  Hoo...

  Shen Ao began to pull the mashed potatoes into his mouth.

   Taste... Surprisingly, it was surprisingly good!

   Chewing slowly in his mouth, tears fell into the bowl, and for the first time...he found that this guy was not bad.

  In the past, he didn't even look at this guy, he only had contempt in his heart. These people are dirty, stinky, ignorant and stupid, no different from pigs and dogs.

   But today, his heart warmed up a bit. At least when he was the loneliest and most powerless, he discovered that...the man standing beside him was a human being!

  There is a difference between humans and pigs and dogs.

In the past, Shen Ao was aloof, and the servants around him did not hesitate to trample on him, trying to please him in various ways. From then on, he felt that he was the only human being, and other people were no different from pigs and dogs. Only he was rich Only when they have emotions, can they cry and laugh, and the rest, what do they know?

   "It's really delicious." Shen Ao quickly wiped out the whole bowl of mashed potatoes.

And his tears were still falling down, he was sobbing, feeling very uncomfortable, when he realized that the man opposite was a human being, he suddenly felt ashamed for the first time deep in his heart, this feeling of guilt made him feel very sad Strange, but in any case, thinking of his attitude towards them before, he has a bad feeling.

  It's a pity that the man is obviously not interested in his gratitude, but specially cooked sweet potato porridge to feed his old mother.

  He sat cross-legged, resting his mother's head on his lap, holding a wooden spoon, and gently blew on the cold porridge, then carefully stretched out his tongue to try the coldness and heat before putting it into his mother's mouth.

  The old woman swallowed slowly with her withered lips.

   Then, there was a soft voice: "Mom... are you feeling better?"

  Shen Ao looked a little crazy.

  They...know filial piety?

In Shen Ao's impression, these smelly guys are ignorant and stupid, they are people, and the name of people is naturally connected with unruly people, untouchable people, and foolish people. They are so vulgar, of course they don't know the way of Confucius and Mencius, but they how come…

  Shen Ao was thinking wildly, and when the child scooped up a bowl of mashed potatoes by himself, squatting on the side and eating, Shen Ao couldn't care less about thinking wildly, but his eyes were fixed on the child's bowl.

  He...wasn't full.

  Suddenly, saliva could not help swirling in the corner of the mouth.

  The man had finished feeding the old lady the porridge, and said: "Why don't you sleep for a while, I'm afraid I have something to do in the afternoon."

   "..."

   With great difficulty, Shen Ao moved his eyes away from the mashed potatoes in the child's hand, and said, "What's your name?"

   This is the first time he has spoken to a man.

  The man smiled: "Zhang Sanba..."

   "..."

  Zhang Sanba!

  The name…

  Zhang Sanba explained: "In the clan, villains are ranked thirty-eight, and those of us who talk downhill don't know how to name them, so we just call them down the number."

  Shen Ao understood.

  The Taizu of this dynasty was also called Zhu Chongba, and they all have a horoscope, so there is nothing wrong with it.

   "Then I'll take a nap."

   Really too sleepy, Shen Ao couldn't bear it.

Just sitting on the chair, it was really difficult to sleep, so he didn't care about it so much, and went directly into the straw shop Zhang Sanba laid out. It was surprisingly warm here, and there was even a smell of wheat. smell.

  Shen Ao quickly fell asleep, sleeping soundly and solidly.

  …

  At this time, Zhu Houzhao, Fang Jifan, and Liu Jin were sitting on the ground around a basin.

This is also the home of a farmer. Zhu Houzhao stewed the potatoes himself. There was a whole big pot. He cooked it himself. He invited the farmer to come and eat with him. up.

  Zhu Houzhao was grinning, and seemed to enjoy it.

Liu Jin rubbed his belly, he was hungry again, he hastily filled a bowl of mashed potatoes for Zhu Houzhao, and another bowl for Fang Jifan, he didn't dare to look into Fang Jifan's eyes, when he saw Fang Jifan looking at him, Just lowered his head subconsciously. When the two of them were ready, he directly took the basin and spoon, and started to eat.

  Zhu Houzhao ate the mashed potatoes with gusto. He was tired all morning, and everything tasted delicious.

  Only Fang Jifan felt that life was a bit cruel. He moved the mashed potatoes with his chopsticks, his eyes rolled around, and he said incongruously, "Your Highness..."

   "What?" Zhu Houzhao ate happily, chewing and responding.

  Fang Jifan said: "Fang Caichen saw a cow."

   "What do you mean?" Zhu Houzhao became vigilant.

   "On the way back, the cow is full of fat, tsk tsk..." Fang Jifan couldn't help drooling.

  Zhu Houzhao understood Fang Jifan's meaning in seconds, but said: "That's not someone else's cattle, but our Xishan cattle, from our own family."

   "I'm just talking..." Fang Jifan lowered his head and took a mouthful of mashed potatoes: "What are you doing so excitedly, but... that cow's face is not very good, it looks like a short-lived one, maybe it's not careful..."

Zhu Houzhao's eyes widened, and he snorted and said, "You want to eat it yourself, why do you always encourage me? Where there are cows, it is Ben Gong who does these things that hurt the world and harm the cows, and you just sit back and enjoy the benefits."

  Fang Jifan blushed, lowered his head and remained silent.

  Zhu Houzhao continued to eat mashed potatoes, and said: "Rabbits don't eat grass beside the nest, Lao Fang, are you willing to kill your own cattle? Eat mashed potatoes."

   "Oh." Fang Jifan nodded.

   Liu Jin on the side had already ate more than half of the remaining pot of potatoes. He interrupted suddenly, grinning and said: "Potatoes are delicious."

  Fang Jifan glared at him.

  Liu Jin shivered suddenly, and dared not make a sound.

   After eating and drinking enough, and reluctantly sleeping for a while, Zhu Houzhao got up with a high spirit: "I've read it, I've read it, Lao Fang, get up, get up quickly."

  Arrogant and high-spirited, Zhu Houzhao carried his specially forged hoe, on which were engraved the inscriptions of "Little Zhu Xiucai", "Xishan General Military Officer", and "Xishan Academy Dean".

Although what this guy did was rough, Fang Jifan found that this guy was actually a very ritualistic person, very particular, and he was very serious about things that seemed funny, such as forging an imperial edict, not just an imperial edict Simple, he needs to have a set of special equipment for the commander-in-chief, dean, and scholar. He not only needs to engrave the bronze seal of the commander-in-chief, but also get the seal of the dean of Xishan Academy, and pin it on his waist. Lu Lai, the two seals collided and made a different sound.

  Besides that, even the **** has to reveal its different identities.

   What a strange person.

  Uh, are you taking it too seriously?

  Fang Jifan touched his half-full stomach. Although he initiated this incident, he thought that with Zhu Houzhao around, he would eat roasted beef with potatoes every day. Who knew that this guy could eat mashed potatoes surprisingly well.

  In the afternoon, everyone was called together again, and began to nod.

   It turned out that a scholar did not come.

  Zhu Houzhao said angrily, "Why didn't you come? Where is he?"

  A farmer stepped forward cautiously and said, "He cried all afternoon, saying he missed his mother."

  Zhu Houzhao was gearing up, grinning his teeth and said: "Does he have a mother? My palace also has a mother. Where is he?"

   After a while, Zhu Houzhao dragged a thin guy out!

  The man howled and cried, and said: "I won't study, I won't come to Xishan Academy, I want to go home..."

   "Hang up!" Zhu Houzhao said with a serious expression.

  He looked back at Fang Jifan, and said arrogantly: "Old Fang, you have read many military books, and I have also read it. There is a sentence in this military book, which is called order and prohibition. Let you read it today."

  The scholar has been hung up.

  All those who wanted to go home all gasped in unison at this moment.

  Shen Ao ate a bowl of potatoes at noon, and slept for a while, so he felt better, but he still felt that the life was very difficult, thinking about it all the time, not knowing when he would be able to escape from this **** on earth.

   Now, when he saw the scholar being hung on a wooden stake, no matter how much he wailed, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince below was not moved at all.

  Fang Jifan folded his arms and looked up at the scholar, but he only pursed his lips and didn't make a sound.

"He said he wanted to go home!" Zhu Houzhao gave everyone a vicious look, and then said, "You can come when you want, or leave when you want? This Xiucai is with you, eat and sleep together, and Lao Fang, Lao Fang is also with you, we eat mashed potatoes and live in straw shops, well, Ben Xiucai and Lao Fang are not sorry to you, but you are sorry for Ben Xiucai and Lao Fang to get up."

  …

  The day is over again. Tiger is happiest when he finishes his work. Everyone go to bed earlier, good night!
