There is a small manor called Hufuzhuang five miles south of Linhuai County.

As the name suggests, the owner of the village is surnamed Hu, and he who dares to call the house in the emperor's township is by no means an ordinary person.

It is said that the owner of the village, Hu Taigong, is the father of Hu Chongfei, the favorite concubine of Emperor Hongwu, and the grandfather of Zhu Zhen, the sixth son of the emperor. A relative of the imperial family......

And according to the grapevine, the Hu family used to be the king of the mountain, so there has never been anyone who is not open-eyed and dares to come to the door in the middle of the night to harass.

And then there was this day.

In the middle of the night, the closed door of Hufuzhuang was knocked on.

When it was more quiet, the knocking sound of the copper knocker was extremely harsh, and the dogs in Zhuangzi couldn't help but bark when they heard it.

"Where's the night wanderer?" The housekeeper who patrolled the night scolded and opened the door of the village, and looked out through the lantern.

I didn't see it at first glance, and I was shocked.

When I looked down, I saw that it was a little beggar who was unkempt, ragged, barefoot, half a broken bowl and a bamboo stick in his hand.

"I'll go to your ancestors, you damn little Hanako! How can anyone knock on the door in the middle of the night to ask for food?! Jia Ding immediately scolded.

"I'm not asking for food." The little beggar said with teary eyes, paused, and changed his words strictly: "Okay, I'm not here to ask for food." ”

"And what are you here for?" The family was not angry.

"I'm coming to find my grandfather."

"Grandpa? What's ...... called?" asked the housekeeper. He actually has a good temper, and he would have let the dog go long ago if he changed someone else's house......

"Uh......" The little beggar froze. Before he came, his mother only told him that his grandfather's house was in Linhuai Hufuzhuang, but she didn't say what his grandfather's name was.

The point is that he didn't ask either, which is embarrassing.

"Damn, it......" Seeing that he didn't even know what his grandfather's name was, the family had to close the door.

Who knew that Mr. Little Beggar outside was angry. The slamming of the door is louder! Still shouting outside: "Open the door for me, open the door!" I am Zhu Zhen, the king of Chu! My mother is Concubine Hu Chong! ”

"You are the King of Chu? Am I still the emperor? "The family was so angry that he opened the door, and he wanted to teach a lesson, this little beggar who dared to discredit their mother.

Who knew that the little beggar was waiting for this moment, and got into it through the crack in the door and under his armpit, and ran into the village.

While running, he shouted loudly: "Grandpa, grandpa!" I am Zhu Zhen, the king of Chu! Come out and see me! ”

"Catch him, don't let him run around!" There was a burst of chickens and dogs jumping in the house, and the family and the nursing home roared angrily.

Soon, the little beggar was besieged and pushed to the ground. I hated the man who opened the door for him, and when he took off his shoes, he was going to whip him.

"Call you fucking fuss!"

"If you dare to touch the finger of this king, I will let my father punish you...... All nine clans except my grandfather's family! But the little beggar held his head high and glared at him.

I don't know if it was because of the overlord's anger, the soles of that family didn't dare to fall immediately.

"Wait." At this moment, a calm male voice sounded.

"Steward Hu." The family members stood up and saluted.

The housekeeper Hu tied his clothes and took them over, and asked the little beggar, "Who do you say you are?" ”

"Lonely is Zhu Zhen, the king of Chu of the Ming Dynasty! My father Zhu Hongwu, my mother Hu Sanniang! The little beggar finally remembered his wife's name.

"Boy, you're still talking nonsense? That is, we are serious people now, and if we had put it in the past, we would have cut out your tongue long ago......" said a courtyard monster laughed.

The housekeeper is not so Meng Lang, he obviously knows something.

As soon as Steward Hu stretched out his hand, the nursing home hurriedly presented a lantern.

"Hiss......" The butler took the lantern and looked at the little beggar's face, and couldn't help but gasp.

"Hiss......" Hearing the sound, the family members hurriedly looked at the little beggar's face with a lantern, and then gasped together. It makes this summer night that is difficult to get rid of a little cool.

~~

"Old lady, old lady, people are here." Steward Hu personally lit the lantern and led Mrs. Hu and his wife into the flower hall.

Mrs. Hu's eyebrows are the same as Zhu Zhen's, but they are white.

The flower hall is brightly lit, and on a round table of rosewood, there are all kinds of soup and noodles steamed, as well as steamed meatballs and stewed strips...... This kitchen is for supper for the nurses, housekeepers, and girls on night duty.

Mrs. Hu and his wife trembled into the flower hall, and saw a little beggar, squatting on the official hat chair next to the table, holding a bowl of white rice in one hand and meatballs in the other, and stuffing it into his mouth regardless of whether it was hot or not.

The old couple saw that his mouth was stuffed with something, and his cheeks were bulging. Plus the dark, thick and curved eyebrows, and the big round eyes......

"What else is there to recognize? It's not my grandson, it's weird! The old lady said categorically: "Lao Hu, you are confused, you can't see that this baby is exactly the same as his uncle when he was a child!" ”

"Really." Steward Hu hurriedly nodded and said, "That time, his cheeks were deflated." It's bulging now, and if there were a double chin, it would be carved out of a mold......"

"Child, I'm your grandmother." Mrs. Hu shook off her support and took two steps forward.

"Grandma ......" The little beggar who was eating violently turned his head slowly when he heard the words, but his mouth did not stop chewing.

"Woo, grandmother...... "The little beggar, who had gone through a lot of hardships, finally saw his relatives, and his emotions were like the tide of the embankment, first sobbing, and then crying. The food in the mouth is straight to the slag.

Relatives are connected. When he cried, the old lady also cried, hugged the little beggar, and cried: "Oh, this child must be Sanniang's baby." Look at the ugly way he cried, exactly like his second uncle when he was a child. ”

"Ah, what a person, Your Highness." Mrs. Hu hurriedly took Steward Hu and knelt down and kowtowed to the little beggar. "Old minister Hu Ren, knock on His Royal Highness the King of Chu!"

"Woo, grandpa, hurry up." But the little beggar cried even harder. "It's been almost a year since anyone called me that!"

"I'm a child, what kind of sin is Zhu Chongba doing!" Mrs. Hu's heart was broken, and he seemed to lack respect for the current emperor.

~~

The little beggar is naturally Zhu Zhen who escaped from the thief's nest......

However, he said that after faking his death that day and getting out, a man and a cow floated in Hongze Lake for two days before finally coming ashore.

As soon as I inquired, oh no, the direction was wrong. Now it's two hundred and fifty miles away from Linhuai......

His Royal Highness the King of Chu, who wanted to cry without tears, had no choice but to embark on the road back to his hometown.

He never expected that these two hundred and fifty miles would be such a bumpy walk.

When he had reached fifty miles, he was so hungry that he was close to his heart. Under the pressure of survival, he had no choice but to inherit his father's business and start begging.

He also tried to earn some money on Allegro or something. And the effect is not bad, I earned dozens of dollars in one morning. But at noon, a few ruffians were beaten up and robbed of his money......

Only then did Zhu Zhen know that the role of the two elder brothers was so great. Without their protection, I can't sell my own art.

But his doom wasn't over yet. The person who asks for food is holding a cow, and it looks very strange. So soon someone did good......

Halfway through, another gang of hooligans snatched his Pingtian Great Sage.

Luckily, he was a boy, and he was old, rough-skinned, and abstract......

And, at first glance, he was very edible, so the other party didn't rob him together.

Zhu Zhen had no choice but to go on the road alone, begging while inquiring about coming here. Along the way, he was chased by dogs, chased by geese, kicked by donkeys, and driven by people...... After all the hardships, I finally came to Hufuzhuang.
