Daming: At the beginning, recognize Zhu Yuanzhang as grandfather!

Chapter 14 The Back
Under the ups and downs of the grandpa and grandson, the dumplings were served, along with some side dishes.

Of course, there is also a small bowl of garlic.

"Two cups?"

Huang Xiongying took out a small jug of wine.

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and smiled: "Our grandson has grown up, and he can have a drink with us."

Huang Xiongying each filled a small glass, then raised the glass:
"I offer a toast to grandpa. I wish grandpa good luck like the East China Sea, and a longer life than Nanshan!"

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled bluntly: "Stinky boy, when did you become so polite, my grandson, he has really grown up!"

This looks so much like Biaoer!
Filial piety, refined and yet resolute, unlike his boss who is rough.

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

"Come, eat dumplings!"

Zhu Yuanzhang put down his wine glass and put a dumpling in Huang Xiongying's bowl: "When we were your age, this plate of dumplings wasn't enough for us!"

"Isn't it possible now? You always give me two uncles, I'm not surprised!"

After hearing Huang Xiongying's words, Zhu Yuanzhang was taken aback for a moment, and then burst out laughing.

"Stinky boy, you will make us happy!"

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and put a fried dumpling into his mouth.

I have to say that this fried dumpling is really delicious, dipped in some vinegar and served with a head of garlic, it is delicious.

The grandpa and grandson started eating sullenly.

After a meal, the old man ate very happily.

Huang Xiongying used chopsticks to pick up some of the meat scraps left on the plate bit by bit, and put them all into his mouth.

Zhu Yuanzhang saw it in his eyes and said, "Aren't you full? If you're not full, let's get you a bowl of noodles!"

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

While talking, Huang Xiongying stood up and began to pack the dishes: "The ancients said, looking at the former virtuous country and family, success is from diligence and thrift to destruction from extravagance. The country is like this, let alone a family? Don't you think so?"

"Good! Well said!"

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

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

Zhu Yuanzhang was born in troubled times, burdened with the pain of the death of his parents, and started from abject poverty. He had no background, no background, no support, and everything he had was won by himself.

From the cowherd boy to the Ming emperor, Zhu Yuanzhang never forgot the hardships of life.

Therefore, he can be said to be the most frugal emperor in history. Every time he eats, it is not like the man-han banquet of some kind. There is only one dish and one soup, and he has to eat clean every time.

But some of his descendants were different.

Take the second son Zhu Xi as an example. This child was intelligent, strict and heroic when he was young, but when he became an adult, he did many evil things, which were ridiculous.

If the old prince Zhu Biao hadn't protected him, the old man would have tied him up in the capital long ago to prevent him from doing anything wrong.

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

This is what a prince should look like!

Huang Xiongying cleaned up the dishes and looked at Zhu Yuanzhang, who had been looking at him all the time. He could feel that the old man seemed to care more about him today than the previous two times when he saw him.

Such palpable feelings cannot be fooled.

Hesitate for a moment.

Huang Xiongying still said: "Come on, Grandpa, let me show you something."

With that said, Zhu Yuanzhang helped Zhu Yuanzhang, who was a little doubtful, to a small house in the backyard, and then brought the key to open a large wooden box in the room.

"This……"

Zhu Yuanzhang stared at the things in the box, his eyes widened.

I saw that the box was full of white silver.

Roughly estimated, such a big box would cost tens of thousands of taels of silver.

This is not a small amount. You must know that in today's national treasury, there is less than one million taels of silver that can be used.

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Yinzi, then at Huang Xiongying, and said with a smile: "It seems that we underestimated our grandson!"

Huang Xiongying stopped talking and joking, and said seriously: "Grandpa, I have saved these money over the years, so it is my tribute to you."

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

"Son, what are you doing?"

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

"you……"

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't know what to say when he heard the words.

The originally good mood suddenly became heavy.

The eldest grandson who was just recovered, now says that he wants to leave him to join the army, and leave all the money to himself?
"no!"

Zhu Yuanzhang replied seriously.

As if he had expected the old man's answer, Huang Xiongying said calmly: "Grandpa, I am a military member, so I should join the army. I know you are a great person, but I can't spend my whole life under your wings, can I?"

"A good man has ambitions all over the world. If we go to the army, we will be able to do a great job. When we come back, we will honor you well!"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the determined Huang Xiongying.

There are mixed feelings in my heart.

What a good child, even if this child is not Zhu Yuanzhang's eldest grandson, he believes that this child can still succeed.

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

but……

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

He couldn't let the kid have any mistakes.

Otherwise, he will regret it all his life.

No, I have to quickly confirm the identity of this child and make sure that he is the grandson of the emperor back then.

Zhu Yuanzhang was thinking quickly.

All that's left now is a strong piece of evidence...

correct!

birthmark!

Xiongying had a plum blossom-shaped birthmark on his back below the shoulder blade!
If this child has it too, then you can't go wrong!

But before that, he couldn't let the child leave his side, and he couldn't let the child do anything!
Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang just wanted to speak.

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

Huang Xiongying frowned slightly.

Seeing this, Zhu Yuanzhang asked, "What's the matter?"

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 stay here, don't move around."

After speaking, Huang Xiongying walked out.

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

He could tell that the kid must be in some trouble.

It's not easy for this child to save so much money all these years by himself!

He was born in poverty, and he knew that it was not easy at the bottom. He would not only suffer from hunger, but also stare at him.

Needless to say, this kid's money is hard earned.

but……

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

Thinking, Zhu Yuanzhang's tears came again.

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

At this time, I heard a slightly frivolous voice from outside: "Brother Ying, how are you! What's the matter? Mr. Zhou is here, why don't you invite us in?"

Zhu Yuanzhang's face sank when he heard the sound, and he strode out...
