But it is said that Tang Jiachang and his five brothers had a bad encounter with the county government. They left in good spirits and returned in despair.
On the way back, Chief Tang Jia tried his best to comfort his brothers, saying that there is no end to the road. But when he got home, he leaned on the bed and sighed again and again.
When the old woman asked him what was going on, Tang Jia was so annoyed that he had to explain briefly.
His wife was immediately discouraged, knowing that her wife’s dream was completely yellow.
It kept tilting until it was dark. Tang Jia Chang suddenly got up and went into the inner room. After a while, he came out with half a bag of millet.
"What are you doing?" His wife looked up from the stove and asked him.
"Ah, give them some food." Tang Jia said: "I can't help you much, but I can do my best."
"Why are you fainting? We don't have enough to eat ourselves, so why should we act like a big family?" The old lady quit immediately. "If you give it away and it's useful, I won't stop you. But now you can give them shit in exchange for it?"
”
"People can't be so snobbish. How much work have they done for me these days, carrying water to water my vegetables, plowing the land and draining water for me? My old waist is much more comfortable than before. We have to be conscientious!" Tang Jiazhang finished.
, ignoring his wife’s curses, he went out.
~~
Hongjiayuan.
When Chief Tang Jia came in, the four brothers were squatting by the stove, lost in thought.
Lao Wu is busy making dinner. He didn’t work today, so he got even less rice.
The brothers naturally felt very warm to Old Tang's offer of help in times of need, and accepted it without giving in.
"Old, Old Tang, as much millet as you gave us today, I will repay you as much gold and gold sand in the future." But Zhu Xi made another wish.
"Okay, okay, I'll wait." Tang Jiazhang couldn't help but laugh. These Hong brothers are good at everything, but they are too temperamental, don't know how to be polite, and they can talk big words.
"Actually, it doesn't matter if the county magistrate doesn't help. You are all young men with great energy. As long as you are willing to work hard, why can't you find a job?" Tang Jiazhang encouraged them again: "I will go to town for you later.
Ask online to see what jobs are suitable for you."
"Okay, I'll leave this matter to you." The brothers still didn't want to say thank you, but they still sent Tang Jiazhang to the door together.
But looking back, I should be worried. I have to worry about it. Just half a bag of millet will last me a few more days, but it won’t solve the problem at all.
After eating vegetable leaf porridge, the brothers decided that they could not sit still and wait for death. So they met again to discuss finding a way to make a living.
"If it doesn't work, go beg for food." Zhu Zhen said in a very low-key manner: "It can be regarded as a son inheriting his father's legacy."
"Nonsense! Dad is just begging for help as a wandering monk!" Third Brother glared at him and said.
The fourth brother also encouraged: "Tang Jiazhang is right. We have hands and feet. As long as we work hard, we won't starve to death!"
"Yes, it makes sense!" The second brother was immediately inspired and slapped his thigh hard:
"He, damn it, if others rob us, we just rob others! Let's go tonight!"
"Second brother, you can't work hard like this..." Zhu Di was speechless.
"That is, what is our identity? A dignified prince robbing the common people?" The third child refused to stand up and was still full of arrogance.
"If Father knew about it, wouldn't he take off our skins?" Even Lao Wu expressed his opposition.
"This will also be recorded in the history books in the future." Lao San thought further and said: "In March of the eighth year of Hongwu, King Qin robbed people of their property and raped their daughters..."
"I, I didn't intend to rob you of sex." The second child hurriedly defended loudly.
"Historians know how to add fuel to the fire." Lao San said lightly.
"Oh, if you can't do it, go and carry the big bag." The second child sighed.
Zhu Zhenxin said, "One moment you are going to rob, and the next moment you are carrying a big bag? Isn't this turning too fast?
He had no choice but to give some guidance to his brothers who were dizzy from hunger:
"It's okay to carry big bags, but you can't do hard work unless you have to. It's better to think about your skills first, give full play to your advantages, and find a suitable way of playing, so that you can get twice the result with half the effort."
As he spoke, he took himself as an example:
"For example, although I am young, I can cry very well. Not only do I cry sadly, but I also act realistically, so I can cry for others. If I have enough money, I can even break the pot for their filial son."
"..." The four brothers opened their mouths wide.
They have been in the countryside for such a long time, and of course they know that there is a mourning business in Fengyang. When a family dies, a mourning person can be asked to cry, which can make the cry louder and more orderly, making them look filial.
But if the prince went to mourn someone else and let his father know about it, why not just take him back, hang him up and beat him?
"You're such a bad idea, you might as well go begging for food." Zhu Di rubbed his head, wondering what the kid was thinking.
"Anyway, I think it's pretty good. If it really doesn't work, go ahead..." Zhu Zhen muttered in a low voice. He just wanted to make Zhu Yuanzhang angry.
People can't, at least they shouldn't torment their children like this!
~~
Although Zhu Zhen's speech was criticized by the brothers, it also opened their minds.
"I can treat people." After a fierce ideological struggle, Lao Wu finally summoned the courage to say: "I have seen people in the village several times and they were all cured."
"There are only a few people in our village?" Zhu Di said: "And each one is more picky than the other. If you give two eggs, it will be treated as medical money."
"You can go out and become a traveling doctor." Zhu Ju said: "If you go from village to village, there will be more doctors."
Then he said with longing: "When I become famous, it won't be me looking for patients, but patients looking for me. Then I can open a medical clinic, preferably in a town."
"Good guy, are you thinking so long-term?" Zhu couldn't help but joked: "And then marry a housewife and have two fat boys?"
"I never thought about that." Lao Wu said shyly.
"I think Lao Wu's method will work. I'll get you a medicine box tomorrow, get some flags, and put together your wardrobe." Zhu Di agreed with Lao Wu's idea, but was afraid that he would be in danger again. "But.
You can't do it alone. Someone has to follow you, otherwise it will be too dangerous."
"I, I can." The second brother quickly volunteered.
"You are not suitable." Zhu said: "The fourth child is the same. With your looks, who would dare to seek medical treatment from the fifth child?"
"So you are the only one suitable?" Zhu Di said in a dull voice, but he also knew that he and his second brother were not approachable.
"Of course." Zhu raised his head proudly, working in the fields all day long, but his pretty face did not change.
"Okay, okay." Zhu Xi touched his square cheek injured.
"Second brother, I think you are pleasing to the eye." Zhu Zhen hurriedly comforted him.
"Yeah, okay, good brother." Zhu Xi suddenly became happy again.
"Second brother is fine," Zhu Di also hugged his arm and said, "Let them go to the doctor. We will earn no less than them together!"
"I don't know how to treat a doctor." Zhu Xi was stunned and said: "You, can you?"
"Neither can I!" Zhu Di said confidently:
"We don't treat doctors, we do entertainment! We will definitely make no less than them!"
"I can't play the piano, let alone sing..." Zhu Chong was even more confused.
