eldest son of Ming dynasty

Chapter 25 Linglong Restaurant
The essence of human beings is still to eat, and there is a lot of people outside the palace, but in fact, it is still a restaurant that can make people sit down when walking around.

Besides, he can't go to places like Goulan now.

"Linglong Restaurant." Now that Zhu Houzhao was getting used to the traditional Chinese characters, he took a step inside.

The shopkeeper is a short man with thin eyes and mustache. He is shorter than the average one, not even 1.5 meters tall.

Zhu Houzhao was dressed in extraordinary clothes, so he took care of him carefully.

I only dare to talk to Zhang Yong when I talk to him.

"Shopkeeper, serve some good food in the private room on the second floor."

"Hey, yes yes yes." The shopkeeper glanced at Zhu Houzhao, who was still a child, from the corner of his eye, and could only see the straight back and flowing black hair.

When I heard Zhang Yong's voice, my heart was also moved: the face is white and beardless, and the voice of a drake is a person in the palace!
The master who served him was about seven or eight years old. Although he didn't dare to think about it, he already had the answer.

"Second pillar! You have the most nimble hands and feet, and you will serve the distinguished guests on the second floor with me!"

Zhu Houzhao sat down on the second floor leaning against the railing. Below was the bustling street market. He was very contented.

But Zhang Yongxin was always restless,

"Young master...how about you go back quickly?"

"Stop talking nonsense." Zhu Houzhao stared at him, finally came out, and returned after only 10 minutes?

"But...but those grown-ups have already found out, guess the emperor..."

"Eh? Where is this? Don't talk nonsense! Also, I don't like to see your sad face. If you do this again, go to the side first." Zhu Houzhao's cup fell on the table with a bang, a little angry.

In this way, Zhang Yong did not dare to vent his anger.

Zhu Houzhao said: "Since it has been discovered, the left and right can't escape the censor's memorabilia. Could it be that those people don't make noise now that they have gone back?"

Although there is some truth, this is a dead pig that is not afraid of boiling water.

Zhang Yong did not dare to refute.

"Besides, since these people have found out about my (prince)... why didn't anyone come to see me? They are all busy going back to write the notebook, right? You will also check when you go back, whoever met me today. "

The eunuchs in this dynasty walked around the civil servants, so they were naturally a little scared.

It all depends on the emperor's attitude.

Eunuchs are the emperor's pendant, so if the emperor is being bullied, they naturally have nothing to do.

"Yes. My son, slave..."

"Hush." ​​Zhu Houzhao put his index finger on his mouth, and then pointed to the stairs, there was a sound over there.

A few seconds later, the shopkeeper's thin-eyed mustache face appeared again,
"Linglong restaurant has a distinguished guest today, it is really full of splendor, my lord," he also knew that he and Zhu Houzhao couldn't talk, so he said to Zhang Yong, "I don't know how many special dishes the small restaurant has. Can I present it to the nobleman?"

"There's no need to offer it. Serve it up, and we'll just pay for it."

The shopkeeper smiled obsequiously and said, "Where does the villain dare to mention gold, silver and money? Er Zhuzi, serve the food quickly!"

Zhu Houzhao didn't listen to their polite nonsense, just glanced at the dishes that were served,

There is a dish of braised pork, which is still smoking. The hot soup and the crystal skin are really delicious.

There is also a scrambled egg with shrimps. The shrimps are picked and washed very clean, the meat is smooth and tender, and the eggs are golden and full.

The rest, such as spinach and mushroom, and stewed chicken in fragrant soup, are also full of color, fragrance and taste.

It seems that he is a wise man who can wink. Seeing his unattractive appearance, it is probably because of this that he can get along with his life.

"The treasurer."

"The little guy is here."

"Do you have children at home?"

"The villain has three daughters and four sons."

Zhu Houzhao almost didn't spit it out, it's really short but it's the essence, it's too good to be born,

"What do they do for a living?"

The shopkeeper replied: "The eldest daughter and the second daughter are married to other people, and the youngest daughter is still young. The four sons have already worshiped the teacher who taught them, and study hard every day."

"Are all four sons studying?"

The shopkeeper chuckled, "If you don't study, you have been a businessman for generations like a villain? Don't be afraid of noble people's jokes. Since my grandfather, my Song family has been looking forward to growing a seed of reading."

"Then what fame do your four sons have now?"

"The eldest son has already passed the Tongsheng exam, and the other three still need to work hard."

After hearing this, Zhu Houzhao could only shake his head,
What people later heard were all 19-year-old Scholars like Yang Tinghe, even if they were not admitted as teenagers, most of the people who left their names were Jinshi.

But these days, getting a Jinshi is harder than getting into Tsinghua and Peking University.
There are so many people who didn't pass the exam.

"Your family is rich, otherwise how can you afford it?"

"The villain also gritted his teeth and confessed. After all, reading is the right way. Unless they really can't afford it, the villain will never tell them to follow my path. The villain just didn't have this opportunity when he was young."

"Everything is low, but reading is high,"

"It's exactly what the nobleman said."

"Then wish them an early high school."

"Hey! Thank you for your kind words!"

After the conversation, it was kind and happy.

But Zhu Houzhao was not so happy in his heart.

Everyone is obsessed with this road, and studying is very expensive. If you finally pass the exam, shouldn't you get some money back?
Just like the dialogue between Wang Yangming and his teacher back then,
What is reading for?When Wang Yangming said he was a saint, the teacher thought it was nonsense. What kind of saint is he?Reading is for the imperial examination,
What about the imperial examinations?Naturally, to be an official, what about being an official?Being an official is to become a superior person, just like this shopkeeper, to get rid of the reality of being the bottom of society.

The funny thing is,

At least 90% of them are people with this purpose. Once they pass the imperial examination and enter this circle, they all say that they are serving the country, the people, the court, and the country.

"Master, what's wrong with you?"

Zhu Houzhao said: "It is easy to let a person die, but it is very difficult to make a person change."

Insufficient 'medical resources', none of the ministers proposed how to solve it, or in their view, this is not a problem, society is run like this, if there are always human tragedies with no money for medical treatment and no rice to cook, it is the power Those who have no way.

However, the total wealth of the society is so much, so what if those in power have the right way?

Zhu Houzhao thought about this question for the first time, that is, Emperor Hongzhi had already listened to his ministers very much. If he continued to follow the path of Confucianism after taking over, he would be Hongzhi No. [-].

does not solve the problem.

While he was thinking,
Suddenly there was some commotion in the street in front of the restaurant, and a few screams attracted everyone's attention.

Zhang Yong immediately became alert

"What's wrong?" Zhu Houzhao asked.

"It should... be like a child of a certain family, rampant on the streets, bullying men and women."

It's this set again.

Zhu Houzhao had heard a lot, but hadn't seen it, so he moved a stool to the railing and stood on it to look down.

It really is a son, with many followers in green clothes, surrounded the two girls, the little girl looks shabby, but she is just a tofu stall, but she still has to face these.

However, the protagonist today is not Zhu Houzhao,

Down there is a strong young man with a stick on his back. From a high place, you can see him squeeze through the crowd and stand in front of that dude.

"Oh, there are still people who want to be a hero to save the beauty?! Are you still thinking of going to heaven by yourself?"

"Man is doing what the sky is watching! Righteousness is in the heart, you think I am alone, but you don't know that God is watching you too!"

Just as they were about to fight, a fan from Dongchang slipped through the crowd to the second floor of the restaurant.

He knelt down towards the Prince's back: "Your Majesty has an order, please return to the palace quickly."

Zhu Houzhao rubbed his fingers, it seems that someone has filed a complaint.

"Don't read it, I'll meet them when I go back."

Before leaving, he picked a piece of shrimp and put it in his mouth.

"Your Highness, over here..."

The figure had already descended the stairs, but the voice came up from below, "You still have to ask me about such a trivial matter? You don't know what to do?"

Encouraged by Zhang Yong, he happily responded, "Yes!"
