Zhu Lin beckoned the two grandfathers to sit down, and bowed to the two grandfathers: "The conditions are simple, the hospitality is not good, and I ask the two grandfathers to forgive me." One day, I will invite the two of you to the Kuiyuan Pavilion in the capital, and I will compensate for this poor hospitality!"

The old grandfather looked at the cafeteria, it was indeed very simple, the long table made of wood was greasy, and the bench was polished. The old man smiled and said to Zhu Lin: "Well, the mighty marquis wants to make up for it, not to mention, it's the first time for the old man to eat in this kind of place." ”

Mu Xiaoguo didn't speak, just nodded, looking at the furnishings of the canteen. I saw that the wall was written in white ash: Practice for war, not for seeing, sweat more today, and shed half a basin of blood tomorrow. asked curiously: "Master Hou, you write this, can the soldiers understand it?"

Zhu Lin hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Grandpa Guo must not be called that. Don't dare to be. The least of the soldiers here can know 300 words, and it is not a problem to understand them. ”

Mu Ziying just wanted to speak, but the old man asked Zhu Lin with a solemn face: "You said that the soldiers here can know at least 300 words?"

"Well, no less, and even more, you can read and write more than 3,000 words. And that's just the average soldier. Zhu Lin looked at Mu Ziying's puzzled gaze and continued to explain: "Not only that, but the leader of the troops must not only know words, but also arithmetic. Higher-level leaders are not only able to read and write arithmetic, but also require to be able to read maps, use a compass, be familiar with military books and battle strategies, etc., and what they have learned is quite miscellaneous, so I will not list them all here. ”

"Did you train all of this?" asked the old man. "Exactly, every ordinary soldier knows at least 300 words. Able to read and write their own names and read deeds. Higher-level leaders must be trained before they can lead troops. Otherwise, you can't lead troops. Xiao Ke is not talented, and he organized a school in Sicheng, which is known as the martial arts hall. The main thing is to train the personnel who lead the troops. As long as you are interested, you can learn it. But there are only a few people who can really get a certificate of refuge from it and lead the troops. Speaking of this, Zhu Lin ignored Mu Ziying's urging and stopped talking. If you continue to talk about it, it will be exposed. The old man smiled and said to Zhu Lin: "This method is very wonderful. When vigorously promoted. The province is subject to the pickled atmosphere of those civil servants. Zhu family boy, the old man can talk ahead, and when the old man asks you for a few gentlemen, you can't help but give it. ”

Zhu Lin nodded: "Whatever the old grandfather said, the old grandfather can just say hello when he arrives." The words just fell. The firehead who went to buy wine just now is back. He put two jars of wine on the table, confessed his sin, and went to the back kitchen to cook. It didn't take long for several captains to run in sweating. The food on the table here is also ready. Except for a luncheon meat and canned food, it was all a dish made of pigs. Although the appearance is very unsightly, it is full of weight and has a lot of oil and water.

After several captains greeted Zhu Lin and Grandpa Guo, they sat on both sides. Zhu Lin sat next to the old grandfather, and opposite sat the little grandfather Mu. Little Master Mu looked at the table full of pork intestines and pork belly, and his brows were furrowed. Zhu Lin saw Mu Ziying's brows furrowed so deeply. asked, "Grandpa Guo is not feeling well?"

Mu Xiaoguo paused and said to Zhu Lin: "No, it's just this table full of ...... It's a bit uncomfortable. ”

Zhu Lin hurriedly said: "I'm sorry, there are only these things in the canteen." If Grandpa Mu Guo is really not used to eating, I will ask people to add two more dishes. After Zhu Lin finished speaking, he called the firehead army just now over and asked him to buy two more cooked vegetables. Huotoujun glanced at Na Mu Xiaoguogong, took the silver handed by Zhu Lin and turned around and left. Zhu Lin sat down, pushed the plate of canned tangerines in sugar water to Grandpa Mu's and said, "Taste this canned tangerines first, press it." You don't have to be polite, you have a holiday this morning, and I will have a few drinks with your future leaders. As soon as Zhu Lin's words fell, several captains were not polite, picked up chopsticks, poured wine and drank it to the old man. The old grandfather drank with a smile, Zhu Lin didn't drink, these captains knew it, so they didn't dare to persuade it. The old grandfather didn't know, and he definitely had to persuade Zhu Lin to have a glass of wine. But Zhu Lin just refused to drink it. After the persuasion of several captains, the old grandfather did not persuade again. Only Zhu Lin and Little Master Mu were left there, and they began to eat a plate of sugar water oranges. Sugar is a very rare thing for Zhu Lin and these poor-born captains, and some poor people may not be able to eat sugar for a lifetime. In this day and age, eating salt is a problem, let alone sugar. But for hereditary princes like Mu Xiaoguo and Lao Guogong, this sugar water is really not a rare thing. In particular, Mu Xiaoguo was born with a golden key and grew up eating honey. The reason why I am interested in this plate of tangerines in sugar water is that I don't know how these oranges will not spoil after being soaked in sugar water. The two of them quickly settled the canned oranges in sugar water. The old grandfather wanted to taste it but didn't taste it. I only drank two sips of sweet and sour sugar water.

The wine has passed three rounds, and the dishes have passed five flavors. The old grandfather opened his stiff tongue and said to Zhu Lin: "Zhu family boy, the old man hasn't drunk so happily for a long time. Yes, yes, you say that you kid is good at everything, why don't you drink? If you drink, you come to drink with the old man. It's better than drinking with these big bosses!" Zhu Lin smiled bitterly, what could he say. I could only say haha: "After the kid is 18 years old, he must accompany the old grandfather to have a drink." Isn't that good?"

"Brother Lin, you're not married yet, are you?" Mu Xiaoguo Gong also drank a few bowls of wine. Although it wasn't a lot, he still asked with a bit of drunkenness. "Well, the younger brother is not married yet. Less than age. What's more, the slave clan has not been destroyed, how can it be home. ”

Mu Ziying slowly walked to the opposite side, sat next to Zhu Lin, leaned on Zhu Lin's ear and whispered: "Ah! Let me tell you, the old Guogong family has a daughter, who is twenty-eight years old and looks like a fairy. It's a match for you, Brother Lin. How about you beg the old man to give you that girl from him?"

Zhu Lin just wanted to talk. The grandfather of the old country next to him yelled at Mu Ziying: "Get out! Your father has sent a letter to the old man, asking me to find one for you in the capital. The old man has found it for you. The old man's niece is a good match for you. ”

As soon as she heard this, Mu Ziying suddenly became smart, and her face suddenly turned into a bitter gourd face. He said to the grandfather of the old country: "Uncle, you can spare my nephew and me!

"Do you believe it or not, the old man will ask the emperor for marriage tomorrow. ”

"Believe it, you can spare my nephew! Mu Ziying was busy begging for mercy there. This scene made the crowd next to him laugh.

The old man looked at Zhu Lin, who was smiling there, and said apologetically: "It's not that the old man doesn't want to marry my daughter to you, but the old man's daughter has been spoiled by the old man since she was a child." Stubborn. I don't like female red, I only like bows and arrows. Messing around all day long. To marry you is to harm you. The old man can't delay the good future of the Zhu family kid for his own selfishness. When he talked about this, the old man was full of sadness. I couldn't stop sighing.

Zhu Lin hurriedly persuaded: "Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, and the old prince doesn't care." "Here Zhu Lin is comforting the old man. The Firehead Army hurriedly ran in with a roast goose in his arms. Outside, there was a sharp call for an emergency rally. The faces of several captains changed. Everyone stood up and saluted Zhu Lin, and then walked outside. Zhu Lin waved his hand. Several of the captains just stood there. Zhu Lin's face changed slightly and asked towards the Huotou Army: "What is it outside that makes you so flustered? What are you doing with the emergency assembly number? Is someone going to attack the big camp?" ”

The firehead put the roast goose on the table. He pursed his lips and said to Zhu Lin: "Young marshal, there is a team from outside the camp that calls for formation, and a formation has been set up." The one at the front wore a white robe and silver armor, a white horse and a silver spear, and was known as the invincible general of Thunderbolt. I'm riding a smoke-spitting horse. If you want to say that the mount under this invincible general also has a background——。 ”

"Speak human words!" Zhu Lin said angrily.

A clever soldier of the Huotou Army stood up and saluted: "Yes! Report to the young marshal, there is a team from outside the battalion, about 200 people." Carrying all kinds of weapons, blocking the camp gate is calling for battle. It looks like it's a court army, but it's like a costume. A man in white robes and silver armor had already begun to storm the camp gate, but was repulsed by the guards. There were no casualties among the guards. An emergency assembly has begun in the camp. Ready to take these people down in one fell swoop. ”

After listening to this, Zhu Lin just wanted to give orders to several captains. Here, the old grandfather slapped the table with his hair wide open and said angrily: "This rebel!"
