Chapter 316: The Aspirations of the People
Early the next morning.
Huang Yuchen woke up from his meditation, and after a night of meditation and cultivation, he was refreshed, and the fatigue of the past few days was also swept away.
Changed into civilian clothes in the wardrobe on the side, took off the military armor he had been wearing, put it aside neatly, washed his face with the water in the house, and through the bronze mirror, Huang Yuchen looked at himself carefully and smiled lightly.
Pushing open the door of the bedroom, a breath of fresh air came in, Huang Yuchen took a deep breath and slowly exhaled it, feeling that the whole person's spirit was lifted.
It's been a long time since I felt so relaxed, since I came back, I first followed my eldest brother to the four main cities, and then the trip to the enclave, and I was nervous until I saw Ning Yi yesterday, and I talked with Ning Yi for a long time, and I put down many thoughts in my heart.
Ning Yi is right, no matter how complicated the current situation is, it is not his turn to worry about it. His own cultivation is low, and his formation attainments are also in his infancy, and there are so many seniors in front of him, and he wants to be like this, which is really a bit unfounded. If the current situation can't be solved even by the predecessors of the palace, then even if you rack your brains, it's useless.
Walking in the backyard of the City Lord's Mansion, breathing in the fresh air, I was refreshed.
"It's early. A voice came, Huang Yuchen looked back, and immediately a smile appeared on his face, the person who came was Ning Yi, today he changed into a cyan robe, his hair was meticulous, and he looked extraordinary.
"You're pretty early, too. Huang Yuchen walked towards Ning Yi and said with a smile.
Ning Yi pulled Huang Yuchen over, sorted out his clothes for him, then looked up and down a few times, and chuckled: "Junlang! You look exactly the same as your second brother when he was a child." ”
Hearing this, Huang Yuchen smiled lightly.
The four brothers of the East Wangfu are also strange to say. Dong Wangsheng's sword eyebrows and tiger eyes, beard flourishing, the eldest son Huang Yuanwu and the third son Huang Yanghui are very similar to Dong Wang in appearance, both are sword eyebrows and tiger eyes, bearded and bearded, at first glance it is a fierce character. But the son Huang Yongning and the last son Huang Yuchen were born white-faced and beardless, elegant and handsome, especially Huang Yuchen, if he is dressed in women's clothes, he is almost the same as a handsome girl who has not been out of the cabinet, and he is thin, and he does not look like a big man at all.
This matter has been ridiculed by Ning Yi, saying that he was born in the wrong child, and he was supposed to be a daughter, but he became a man by mistake.
For this reason, Huang Yuchen was angry with Ning Yi more than once.
But now that he listens to it, he just smiled faintly and was noncommittal.
His second brother is now elegant and handsome, and his handsome face is a little more resolute, and he feels that he doesn't have to be worse than the third brother.
Ning Yi saw that Huang Yuchen was unmoved, laughed, dragged Huang Yuchen out, and said: "Uncle Xiao will go out before dawn, I will take you to the military camp to have a look, and by the way, visit Pingjin City." As he spoke, he looked back at Huang Yuchen and asked, "You haven't been to Pingjin City yet, have you?" ”
Huang Yuchen smiled, and then returned: "I haven't been here, the last time I came out with my eldest brother, I didn't come to Pingjin City." ”
"That's just right. "Ning Yidao, take you to try it.
As he spoke, Huang Yuchen was pulled onto the street in front of the City Lord's Mansion by Ning Yi.
In the early morning, the streets are already full of people, people living their own lives, and the traffic is busy.
On both sides of the street, stalls for breakfast have been set up, steaming hot. Diners sit on the side of the street, asking for a hot noodle soup or a few steamed buns, sitting at a table on the side of the road, chatting with their peers, or looking left and right.
On this street, in addition to the breakfast food with stalls, there are also many scattered buns and flatbread sellers, and the shouting and shouting are endless, so it is not lively.
Ning Yi took Huang Yuchen through the bustling crowd, stopped in front of a stall, sat down at the table, and said to the boss: "Boss, 20,000 noodle soup." ”
"Okay~!" The middle-aged boss with an apron greeted warmly, opened the steaming hot pot, and the two noodles immediately went down to the pot.
Huang Yuchen looked at the pedestrians on the left and right, and then at the stall where he was sitting now, the stall was almost full, and most of the diners on the left and right were sturdy people, eating the noodle soup in their hands.
"It's the best noodle in the neighborhood. Ning Yi smiled at Huang Yuchen: "And it's very cheap, it only costs two dollars, and it's just like that." As he spoke, Ning Yi pointed to the big bowl placed on the table next to him, and then saw Huang Yuchen looking at the sturdy diners, and continued: "The main job of Pingjin City is military armor and weapons, and eighty percent of the shops in the city are blacksmith shops. ”
"Come on, two nights of noodle soup. While talking, I only heard the boss shouting, walked over with two bowls of noodle soup, and put the noodle soup on the table for two.
The noodle soup was placed in front of Huang Yuchen, and suddenly a fragrance came, making him immediately move his index finger and pick up the chopsticks and take a bite. He had never thought a bowl of noodles could be so delicious, and immediately began to gobble it up.
Ning Yi on the side smiled, looked back at the boss, and said, "Boss, come for two more nights, I see my little brother, one bowl is enough." ”
"Gotcha. The middle-aged boss laughed and immediately turned around and went below.
Ning Yi saw Huang Yuchen eating noodles, with a smile on his face, seeing that he had bottomed out after a few bites of this noodle bowl, he pushed the bowl in front of him forward, and motioned Huang Yuchen to continue.
Huang Yuchen raised his head, smiled at Ning Yi, was not polite at all, and immediately brought Ning Yi's bowl and devoured it.
It wasn't until after eating the third bowl that Huang Yuchen raised his head with satisfaction, only to find that Ning Yi and the middle-aged boss were looking at him with an incredible face, and suddenly felt that his old face was red, and he laughed.
"Oh, I really didn't see it, this little brother looks quite thin, but the amount of food is so big. When the middle-aged boss saw Huang Yuchen, he was amazed.
"Maybe your noodles are too delicious, so they don't have any interest. Ning Yi glanced at Huang Yuchen, looked at the boss, looked at the noodle case behind him, and found that the noodle on the noodle case was gone, so he couldn't help sighing and said, "It seems that I can only eat one bowl today." ”
Huang Yuchen looked left and right, in the kung fu of gobbling up noodles, the many diners who were sitting around were already running out at the moment, and there were still a few tables left, and then he pouted, looked at the boss, and asked: "Boss, how do you make this noodles, how do you have such a taste, it's really the first time to eat it." ”
"Hahaha. The boss laughed when he heard this, and said, "This is our family's ancestral craft, so we rely on this to eat." ”
"Your noodles are so delicious, they are in short supply every day. As Huang Yuchen spoke, he glanced at Ning Yi, and when Ning Yi saw this, he hurriedly picked up the chopsticks and ate the last bowl of noodles left in front of him, as if he was afraid of being robbed.
"That's, that's. The noodles have been sold out, the middle-aged boss simply pulled a stool, sat next to Huang Yuchen, and said with a smile: "Thanks to this peaceful and prosperous era, so that ordinary people like us can also have a mouthful of food to eat. My small shop is also sticky to the light of the peaceful and prosperous world. ”
When Huang Yuchen heard this, he grinned and said, "Do you go out by yourself every day?
Xu has not chatted with this middle-aged boss for a long time, and when he saw Huang Yuchen asking again, he did not shy away from it, and said with a smile: "Yes, the old woman does some washing business for people every day, and I am the one who shops every day." There is also a son and a daughter in the family, a month ago, we recruited soldiers in the East Palace, and the son went, and it can be regarded as having a good future, the daughter is still at home, and our old couple is working harder, so we can save more dowry for the daughter, it's time to get married. ”
"Your son is a recruit this time?" Huang Yuchen was also interested, and said, "How is life in the barracks?"
When the middle-aged boss heard this, his face showed a hint of strangeness, looked at Huang Yuchen, and said: "Little brother, you are from outside, right? To be a soldier in our Dongwang Mansion, where is it still so hypocritical, being a soldier is to endure hardships, otherwise how can we protect the family and defend the country? Not to mention the treatment of our Dongwang Mansion, it is difficult to find it outside with lanterns." If my kid fights for strength and makes some meritorious contributions in the army, he will have a bright future in the future. ”
When Huang Yuchen heard this, he felt a little embarrassed, this uncle obviously misunderstood what he meant, he wanted to inquire outside and ask about some things in the barracks, but he didn't want this uncle to say so, so that he was a little embarrassed, the sister-in-law of the East Wangfu was actually regarded as coming from outside.
At this moment, Ning Yi also finished eating the noodles in front of him, laughed, and said: "Boss, don't care, my little brother is just here, just ask casually, I heard that our Dongwang Mansion is recruiting new soldiers, and he also plans to enlist in the army." ”
"Oh?" When the middle-aged boss heard this, his eyes immediately brightened, he looked at Huang Yuchen, and said, "Little brother, are you going to enlist in the army?" Then you can be regarded as choosing the right path, our Dongwang Mansion, which is one of the best in the entire empire. As he spoke, the boss clasped his fists in the air and said: "Our troops under His Royal Highness the King of the East are the army of tigers and wolves, with clear rewards and punishments, and if you join the army, the future is immeasurable." ”
Hearing this, Huang Yuchen smiled lightly and was noncommittal. Of course, he couldn't jump up and tell this boss that he was the son of the East King, and that he was looking for trouble. However, after listening to the words of this boss and the slightly excited look in Fang Cai's eyes, Huang Yuchen understood that among the twenty cities under the rule of the Eastern Palace, the status of the Eastern Palace, was irreplaceable.
"Okay, I've eaten too. Ning Yi smiled, took out a few money from his arms, handed it to the boss, and said, "The two of us will leave first, boss, business is booming." As he spoke, he stood up, and Huang Yuchen immediately stood up and smiled at the boss: "I wish you a prosperous business." ”
"Good. The boss laughed and said, "I also wish you success in enlistment, little brother." With that, he cleaned up the table by himself.
Ning Yi smiled at Huang Yuchen, took Huang Yuchen, and walked down the street to the outside of the city.
As he walked, Ning Yi asked, "Why, I've never eaten such delicious noodles before." ”
Huang Yuchen immediately nodded and said, "I have never eaten such delicious noodles, and I have never chatted with the people." ”
When Ning Yi heard this, he glanced back at Huang Yuchen, only to see that his face was full of red light, and he looked in a very good mood, and said with a smile: "I used to say that you were tender, but you still don't believe it, you don't even know the most basic people's will, and you worry about it every day, and worry about your eldest brother." ”
Huang Yuchen also smiled and said, "I really don't know if I haven't come out before, it turns out that the people of our Dongwang Mansion look at the army like this." ”
"That's natural. Ning Yi glanced at Huang Yuchen and said: "Our Dongwangfu Army, looking at the entire Qitian, is also an absolute elite, and the people under his rule are all proud of joining the army, and they are all rushing to join the army, make military achievements, and glorify their ancestors." With such popular will, any crisis is nonsense. ”
Huang Yuchen smiled, and his heart was extremely happy.
