Chapter 122 Mutton Soup

PreviousBack to directoryNext
If Zhu Yunxi really went to Zhao Er's family, with his dignity as the emperor's grandson, the local officials and the army guards would definitely search the ground and turn the ground inside out within ten miles of Zhao Er's family.

In that case, it is not being friendly to the people, but disturbing them.

Furthermore, he was physically and mentally exhausted from paying homage to the ancestral mausoleum and the temple of meritorious officials for several days. After the memorial ceremony was completed, Zhu Yunxi returned to the imperial city to rest.

On the evening of the second day, when the city's lanterns were about to be lit for the first time, Zhu Yunxi changed into casual clothes and took a few followers with him to wander around the city casually.

The bright lights of thousands of houses in Fengyang City do show some affluence. However, unlike the natural prosperity of the capital, this place seems a bit deliberate and unnatural. The restaurants are not full of guests, and there are no lingering customers in the shops.

The bustling streetscape is a little less noisy and lively. The city is rich, but the people are not necessarily so, so it is like this.

When we arrive at Huaiyangfang of the city, we will find the real Fengyang City, where traffickers and goons gather in the streets and alleys and children's voices can be heard.

Here, there is really a bit of fireworks in the world.

"Your Highness, there are many people here............."

Gou Ren, who was following Zhu Yunxi, just opened his mouth when he was interrupted by Zhu Yunxi.

"What are you afraid of when there are so many people? There are more people than this in the capital. Grandpa Huang and Gu are not just walking around casually!" Zhu Yunxi, dressed as a scholar, looked at the streets on both sides with his hands behind his back and said with a smile, "The imperial city is deserted, and the streets are also deserted.

It’s deserted, but it’s hard to find such a lively place, so don’t let the fun down!”

Remember the URL m.wxsy.

Gou Ren did not dare to say anything and stood silently behind Zhu Yunxi, almost never leaving.

The group of people walked for a while, and at a steaming stall on the street corner ahead, the aroma of chopped green onion and hot soup came. Although the stall was small, it was crowded. Some people didn't have a seat, so they just held a bowl that was bigger than their face.

Bowl, squatting on the roadside, sweating profusely from eating.

"What are you selling?" Zhu Yunxi smiled curiously, "Go and have a look!"

Xumi, the guard leading the way reported that he was selling Guokui mutton soup. This stall is very famous in Huaiyangfang, just because the stall owner has a charming name, Widow Xu!

"Widow?" Zhu Yunxi stood on tiptoe and looked over there.

Sure enough, a slim woman in her early thirties was busy at the stall. The steaming hot air made her face flush and she was dripping with sweat.

Because I had to prepare food for the guests, half of my sleeves were rolled up, exposing my fair arms. My neck was not covered tightly, and there was a slight gap when I lowered my head.

Xiaojiabiyu is like a snack, but it has a unique flavor.

Zhu Yunxi saw clearly that several men drinking soup from the stall almost drank the soup into their nostrils several times.

"Go, have a few bowls!" Zhu Yunxi said with a smile.

As soon as I walked to the stall, a few customers happened to finish their meal and a low table became available. A few people on the side wanted to take the lead, but they were quietly separated by Zhu Yunxi's guards.

Zhu Yunxi asked, "Madam boss, what's good to eat?"

This low table is closest to the hot pot on the stall. As soon as I sit down, the heat and aroma immediately surround me.

Widow Xu wiped her hands and face with her apron and smiled generously, "Young master, this stall is filled with pot helmets and mutton soup!" As she spoke, she squatted down and wiped the used table dry with her apron.

Clean.

He immediately took out a few pairs of clean chopsticks and put them on the table, smiling sweetly, "How many bowls would you like?"

"Let's have four bowls first, put more mutton, more chopped green onions and less coriander!"

"Sit down and I will bring it to you!"

The widowed landlady went off to do her business, and Zhu Yunxi said to the people around him, "You guys should sit down too!"

After hearing this, Fu Rang, Chang Sheng and others sat down and looked around cautiously, with a posture of keeping strangers away. However, Cao Guogong Li Jinglong didn't seem to hear them.

"Why are you stunned?" Zhu Yunxi poked Li Jinglong with chopsticks, and found that the other party was looking blankly at the widow proprietress, and said with a smile, "Are you decent or not? Can you look straight at a widow?"

"Your Majesty... No!" It was rare that Li Jinglong's face turned red and he defended, "I'm not looking at her, but I have something on my mind, so I was a little confused. Your Highness, please forgive me!"

Zhu Yunxi looked at him and said, "You have been acting strange these past two days. You haven't said much. What do you have to say?" After saying that, he nodded at the table and asked the other party to sit down. "I want to see what's going on."

You can embarrass Duke Cao Guo!"

Li Jinglong sat down with a solemn expression on his face, "Your Highness, I would like to...I would like to lead troops at the border!"

Zhu Yunxi was surprised, "Why do you have such an idea? You are now the commander-in-chief of the troops and horses of the capital camp, and you control the troops and horses of the capital camp. Why do you want to go to the border to go to the border?"

"I'm so ashamed!" Li Jinglong bowed his head and said, "To tell the truth, I used to be a little complacent in the capital. I came from a noble family and had a noble status. Your Majesty and His Highness are very kind to me. I am in Datong again.

, I have made some military exploits in Goryeo, and I have everything I should have in this life. But......"

"But what? Keep talking!"

"But now I can see just how much I weigh!" Li Jinglong smiled bitterly, "I used to be smart and lucky, but I am far from being a truly famous general!"

"Oh?" It was rare for him, Li Jinglong, to say such a thing. Zhu Yunxi couldn't help but look at him with admiration and asked, "It's important for people to reflect on themselves, but you, Li Jinglong, are not humble. Why are you so self-effacing all of a sudden?"

"It's not that I'm being humble, it's that I..." As he spoke, Li Jinglong sighed and said slowly, "Yesterday, His Highness and I paid homage to the Temple of Meritorious Ministers, and I saw my grandfather and

"Father's portrait..." As he spoke, his eyes suddenly turned red, "When I was a boy, I was swimming in the pond with my father. My father took off his clothes, and there was no good spot on his body.

scar!"

"My father once said to me, boy, remember, when in the future you will have more than half the scars on your body as your father, you will be a qualified general!"

"But I have lived such a long life, thanks to the great love of Your Majesty and Your Highness, and the great blessings of my ancestors. I have occupied a high position, but I have achieved very little credit! In the past few days, I feel a little ashamed when I think of my title and official position!"

"The meritorious deeds of the older generation were earned at the cost of their lives. Their heads were pinned to their waistbands, and that is why I am today. I have lived until now, but I have not done anything that the older generation can be proud of. Chen, Bai

Lived for so many years!”

Men in the world are all motivated, especially the children of the martial arts family. The achievements of their fathers are the best motivation for them.

Besides, who doesn’t want to surpass his father’s generation, but live under the merits of his father’s generation all his life!

I want a heroic son to be a hero, and a tiger father cannot have dog sons. To become a talented person yourself is the best consolation for your ancestors.

Seeing Li Jinglong, a man in his thirties, with red eyes and an excited look in front of him, Zhu Yunxu was also a little pleased. If this Ming God of War in history could recognize his shortcomings early and work hard and down-to-earth, he might not be able to succeed in the future.

You can't achieve a career.

Zhu Yunxi said softly, "If you think so, I am very happy whether you are an emperor or an orphan. You are the in-law of the royal family, the in-law of my cousin. As the saying goes, girls are close, generations are close, even if the bones are broken, the bones are connected.

Muscles."

(The girl here means aunt. Li Jinglong’s mother is Zhu Biao’s aunt.)

"The fact that you have such a heart shows that you are ambitious." After saying that, he paused and continued, "Where do you want to lead the troops? After you return to Beijing, talk to Grandpa Huang!"

"Anywhere is good, as long as it's a border pass that can give me experience, I'm not afraid of hardship!"

"Well!" Zhu Yunxi knocked on the table and pondered.

He, Li Jinglong, knows how to make progress, but being a border general is not a trivial matter. Although he has made great achievements in Datong, it was mostly due to luck. Based on Zhu Yunxi's understanding of him, he is very enthusiastic about everything he does. If he is really sent to the border

............

Li Jinglong watched eagerly, and when he saw Zhu Yunxi deep in thought, his heart suddenly rose to his throat.

"What am I doing? Why are you telling His Highness this?"

"What if His Highness is serious about sending me there?"

Thinking of this, Li Jinglong shuddered. What he just said was true. But when things came to pass, he regretted it again and was reluctant to let go of the prosperity of the capital.

"Don't go to the border area. It's close to Tibet. It's hard to eat hot food!"

"Don't ever go to Liaodong. I can't get used to the cold weather there!"

"I don't want to go to the northwest. The wind and sand are strong, and I'll be covered in sand in autumn!"

Just as she was thinking about it, Widow Xu came over with two bowls of mutton soup and said with a smile, "Guys, drink while it's hot!"

Li Jinglong quickly stood up and said, "Master... Young Master, stop thinking about it now and try this mutton soup. Huaixi mutton soup is a must-have!"

As he said this, he reached out to take the soup from Widow Xu on his side, but without wanting to, he directly held her wrist.

"Ah!" Widow Xu was shocked. Although she was in public, she was an innocent woman after all. How could she let a strange man hold her hand like this?

With an exclamation, he took two steps back and shook the hot soup bowl in his hand.

"hiss!"

Li Jinglong's thighs felt hot, and the hairs stood up on his legs. He grinned from the heat and looked ferocious.
