Chapter 14: Back

Under the upside-down of the grandfather and grandson, the dumplings were served, and some side dishes were served.

And, of course, a small bowl of garlic.

"Two cups?"

Huang Xiongying took out a small pot of wine.

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and smiled: "When our eldest grandson grows up, he can drink two cups with us." ”

Huang Xiongying filled a small glass by himself, and then raised his glass:

"I salute my grandfather with a cup, and I wish my grandfather happiness like the East China Sea, and longevity than Nanshan!"

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled: "Stinky boy, when did you get a clean article, our eldest grandson, you have really grown up!" ”

This looks too much like a standard!

Filial piety, elegant and resolute, not like his own boss.

A flash of emotion flashed in his eyes, Zhu Yuanzhang picked up the wine glass, touched it with Huang Xiongying, and drank it all.

"Come, eat dumplings!"

Zhu Yuanzhang put down the wine glass and sandwiched a dumpling into Huang Xiongying's bowl: "When we are as old as you, this plate of dumplings is not enough for us to eat!" ”

"Isn't that okay now? I'm not surprised that you always give me two uncles! ”

Listening to Huang Xiongying's words, Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned for a moment, and immediately burst out laughing.

"Stinky boy, you, you'll make us happy!"

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled while holding a fried dumpling and putting it in his mouth.

I have to say that this fried dumpling is really delicious, dipped in a little vinegar, and accompanied by a garlic, it is called a fragrant.

The grandfather and grandson ate with their heads bored.

At a meal, the old man ate extremely happily.

Huang Xiongying picked up some of the minced meat scraps left on the plate with chopsticks little by little, and put them all into his mouth.

Zhu Yuanzhang saw it in his eyes and said, "Not full? If you're not full, we'll give you a bowl of noodles! ”

Huang Xiongying shook his head and said, "Grandpa, we're full, we just don't want to waste!" ”

While speaking, Huang Xiongying stood up and began to clean up the dishes and chopsticks: "The ancients, after a look at the former virtuous country and home, from diligence and thrift to luxury, the country is still like this, let alone a family?" Old man, did you say? ”

"Good! You can say that again! ”

Zhu Yuanzhang slapped his thigh and looked at Huang Xiongying with burning eyes.

This sentence can be said to speak to Zhu Yuanzhang's heart.

Zhu Yuanzhang was born in troubled times, burdened with the pain of the death of his parents, starting from extreme poverty, he has no background, no background, no support, everything he has won by himself.

From herding cattle to Emperor Daming, Zhu Yuanzhang has never forgotten the hardships of life.

So he can be said to be the most frugal emperor in history, every time he eats, it is not like the Manchu and Han Dynasty banquets that the hell later, there is only one dish and one soup, and he has to eat the food cleanly every time.

But some of his children and grandchildren are different.

Take the second son Zhu Fan as an example, this child was smart and heroic in his childhood, but when he became an adult, he did many evil things, absurd, and built a lot of civil fortifications in the domain, working the people and losing money.

If it weren't for the late crown prince Zhu Biao to protect him, the old man would have tied him up in Beijing and wouldn't let him do anything wrong.

Now that Huang Xiongying said these words, Zhu Yuanzhang is really relieved.

This is what a prince should look like!

Huang Xiongying packed up the dishes and chopsticks and looked at Zhu Yuanzhang, who had been looking at him, he could feel that the old man seemed to have more love for him today than the previous two times.

This kind of overflowing feelings can't deceive people.

Hesitate for a moment.

Huang Xiongying still said: "Come, grandpa, let's show you something." ”

As he spoke, he helped Zhu Yuanzhang, who was a little puzzled, and came to a small house in the backyard, then took the key and opened a large wooden box in the room.

"This ......"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the contents of the box and his eyes widened suddenly.

I saw that the box was full of white silver.

According to a rough estimate, such a large box must have tens of thousands of taels of silver.

This is not a small amount, you must know that there are less than a million taels of silver that can be used in the treasury today.

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at the silver, then looked at Huang Xiongying, and said with a smile: "It seems that we are underestimating our eldest grandson!" ”

Huang Xiongying stopped laughing, and said seriously: "Grandpa, this silver is what I have saved over the years, so I should honor you." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang's smile was suddenly contained, and his brows furrowed suddenly:

"Kid, what are you doing here?"

Huang Xiongying replied with a calm face: "Didn't I tell you last time, since we can't change our household registration and can't do business, let's go to the army." ”

"You ......"

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he didn't know what to say for a while.

The originally good mood suddenly became heavy.

The eldest grandson who just found it now says that he wants to leave him to join the army, and he has to keep all the silver for himself?

"No way!"

Zhu Yuanzhang replied solemnly.

As if he had expected the old man's answer, Huang Xiongying said calmly: "Grandpa, I am a soldier, I should go to the army, I know that you are a great person, but I can't live a lifetime under your wing, right?" ”

"A good man is ambitious in all directions, let's go to the army, we can do a great career, and when we come back, we will honor you well!"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Huang Xiongying with a determined face.

There are mixed tastes in my heart.

What a good child, even if this child is not his eldest grandson of Zhu Yuanzhang, he believes that this child can also get ahead.

With this ambition, it is the same as he was back then.

But......

This child is different, this child is his eldest son and grandson of the Ming Dynasty, and may also be the future master of the Ming Dynasty.

He couldn't let the kid slip up in the blue.

Otherwise, he will regret it for the rest of his life.

No, we have to quickly confirm the identity of this child and make it clear that he is the imperial grandson of the year.

Zhu Yuanzhang quickly calculated in his heart.

There is only one strong piece of evidence left now......

That's right!

Birthmark!

Xiongying had a plum blossom-shaped birthmark under the shoulder blade on his back back that year!

If this kid has it, then there is absolutely no mistake!

But until then, he can't let this kid out of his side, and he can't let anything happen to this kid!

Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang just wanted to speak.

There was a sharp knock on the door outside the courtyard.

Huang Xiongying's brows furrowed slightly.

Seeing this, Zhu Yuanzhang asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Huang Xiongying looked out and said to Zhu Yuanzhang: "I'll go out and have a look, I'll be back in a while, you are here, don't move around." ”

With that, Huang Xiongying walked out.

Seeing Huang Xiongying's tall and thin back striding out of the door, and couldn't find it anymore, Zhu Yuanzhang's tears almost flowed.

He could tell that the kid was in trouble.

Over the years, how difficult it is for this child to save so much money alone!

He was born in poverty, and he knew that it was not easy to be at the bottom, and it would not only be starving, but also suffering from white eyes.

Needless to say, this kid's money knows how hard it is to earn.

But......

The boy kept all the money he had worked so hard to save for himself.

Thinking about it, Zhu Yuanzhang's tears came again.

But he quickly wiped away his tears, afraid that the boy would see ......

At this time, I heard a slightly frivolous voice outside: "Brother Ying'er, hello!" How? Zhou Gongzi came, and he didn't invite us in to sit down? ”

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, his face suddenly sank, and he strode out......
