Hongwu Survival Guide

Chapter 74

Zhu Yuan followed Zuo Qi's gaze to signal, only to find that there were a few inconspicuous red marks on one side of the old man's cheek, one of which even brought out a light blood stain.

This is a scratch.

Seeing Zhu Yuan's eyes, Liu Laoqi immediately bowed lower, turned around, and motioned to his three sons: "My lord, these are my three children..."

The three knelt down together and kowtowed in salute.

However, before the old man could say anything else, he also noticed that the strange Hua Gao had stepped forward, pulled the arm of the old man who was trying to dodge, looked at his right cheek, and then looked at the three men on the ground with a gloomy expression: "Every time you dare to dodge My father did it, who did it?"

When Hua Gao spoke, he lost his usual harmony in front of everyone, but showed a bit of hostility to kill generals.

The three men on the ground also knew that they were all big figures in front of them. They all trembled when they heard the words, and they all began to kowtow like garlic.

There was a commotion here, and many people gathered around.

Seeing Huagao getting angry, Liu Laoqi struggled to defend his sons: "My lord, my lord, the old man fell by himself, fell, no one hit me, no one hit me..."

As he spoke, he was about to kneel down, but Hua Gao held him firmly.

Zhu Yuan also stepped forward, looked closely at the old man's cheek, shook his head and said, "It wasn't them, the woman caught it."

After speaking, looking at the scene in front of him, Zhu Yuan already understood seven or eight points.

It's all about the same eighth grade.

Three sons, one is eighth grade, how to divide?
Thinking so, Zhu Yuan walked towards the three men who were still lying on the ground, and kicked the oldest one: "Who caught it, tell me?"

Zhu Yuan didn't have much strength, and the man still rolled to the side, with a look of fear on his face, he raised his hand and pointed to the one on the right: "My lord, it's the second daughter-in-law, not me, not me. Father wants to give me the eighth grade, the second daughter-in-law." The daughter-in-law said that the father was biased and came to make trouble. My lord, I don't want this official, give it to the second baby, give it to him..."

Then he lay down on the ground again.

Zhu Yuan looked at the second child of the Liu family who was being pointed at. The man didn't make any excuses, but just started to kowtow again.

Zhu Yuan sighed, not bothering to kick again.

Turning to Liu Laoqi again, he found that the old man's face was full of tears in a blink of an eye, he pulled Hua Gao and murmured begging, seeing Zhu Yuan's eyes, he stretched out his hand again and said: "My lord, I don't want an official, I don't want an official, I don't want... "

At this time, the people around probably understood the ins and outs of the matter, or they were angry, or sad, or some people felt the same way.

Zhu Yuan stepped forward to support the old man's other hand, and said to Hua Gao: "Shall I handle it?"

Hua Gao nodded and let go of the old man.

Seeing that the old man looked a little overwhelmed, Zuo Qi quickly moved a chair over.

Zhu Yuan helped the old man to the chair and sat down. After thinking for a while, he said, "Old Liu, your three sons are too incompetent. I can't give this official to anyone."

Liu Laoqi lost his temper when he thought of the situation at home yesterday because he was an authentic eighth grade, and nodded repeatedly: "No, no, no."

Zhu Yuan could feel the old man's frustration, and took his withered hand to hold it, and said, "Old Liu, how many grandchildren do you have?"

Liu Laoqi, who wanted to exchange some benefits for his family with an old bone that was about to be buried in the soil, hadn't expected it, but when he heard this, he had a premonition and couldn't believe it. He looked at Zhu Yuan, and finally said: "Five Well, I already have five grandchildren, and I have three children."

Originally, Zhu Yuan was not limited to men and women. Seeing that Liu Laoqi automatically replaced 'grandson' with 'grandson' and did not correct him, he said, "Then give them this blessing, and send one to each family..." As he spoke, he turned to the audience and signaled to Qingniang's third younger brother Li Gui: "Come here."

Li Gui hurriedly stepped forward, bowed his hands in a respectful salute.

Zhu Yuan said to the old man: "This is the younger brother of the woman in the inner house. He has good knowledge. Let your three grandchildren worship him as a teacher. In the future, if you become talented, I will promise you, Mr. Liu, that at least you can be in Yinghai. If you are an official, whether you can take the imperial examination, seek fame, become a marquis or minister, let your Liu family shine, it depends on their good fortune."

Zhu Yuan's words fell, and the expressions of the people around him were somewhat strange.

The point of everyone's attention is that a young boy said that a man in his 30s is the younger brother of his inner woman. This... is a bit too much information.

Zhu Yuan blurted out without thinking too much, just to let the old man understand that he did not make perfunctory arrangements.

Liu Laoqi also accurately grasped the message that Zhu Yuan wanted to convey, and looked at Li Gui, who had a gentle appearance, and then thought about what Zhu Yuan said just now, that he was a relative of this little adult, so he must also be an adult. If he comes to teach his grandson, he must be able to become a tool.

So he nodded quickly.

He even wanted to stand up and salute, but was held down by Zhu Yuan.

After this matter was settled, Zhu Yuan looked at the three men who were still lying on the ground: "As for you, Mr. Liu came in just now, and it was you three brothers who should be helping. Ten lashes per person is considered punishment. If you don’t serve your father well in the future, I will continue to punish you, and your children will never even think about studying with me.”

The three men immediately kowtowed together again.

Thinking about their own children being able to worship an adult as their teacher, and they may even be granted the title of Marquis and Prime Minister in the future, the three brothers have no complaints at all.

Not to mention ten lashes, 23 ten lashes can also be endured.

Zhu Yuan stopped Liu Laoqi, who was subconsciously begging for love, and continued: "The daughter-in-law who did something to the old man, twenty whips, the second son of the Liu family, you go back and whip yourself, and I will send someone to watch. Tell her again, if there is a next time , it’s not a whip, I’ll have someone hang her on the beam!”

The second son of the Liu family kowtowed again when he heard the words: "My lord, I smoke, I smoke..."

Zhu Yuan thought about it for a while, and couldn't think of anything else for a while, so he turned to the old man again: "Old Liu, I will return the eighth grade to you. If you can have a salary, I will arrange two more people to serve you on weekdays. Don't refuse, children and grandchildren have their own blessings." , the elderly should also have their own blessings, no matter whether they are taken by force or given away by force, it is not good."

Liu Laoqi wanted to say something else, but after hearing the words he hesitated a little, he nodded.

Zhu Yuan looked at Hua Gao beside him.

Hua Gao also nodded.

No comment.

Zhu Yuan was about to say something more, noticed the surroundings, and waved his hands: "It's all gone, and, Zuo Qi, find a horsewhip, you can whip it, and go to Liu's hometown after whipping, you can't miss twenty whips at once. "

Zuo Qi clasped his fists: "I obey the order."

After arranging someone to help Liu Laoqi to rest in the wing room, Zhu Yuan turned to Hua Gao and Wu Zhen: "You two are free, I will prepare for the class later."

Hua Gao immediately grinned and said, "I just have free time today, so I'll listen to it too."

Wu Zhen also smiled and said: "I heard about Hanlin's erudition earlier, and I also want to take a look at it. There is no rush for everything."

Of course Zhu Yuan had no objection.

After Zhu Yuan left, the others also dispersed. Hua Gao, who was still standing in front of the lobby, looked at Wu Zhen, and asked with a smile, "How is it?"

Thinking of seeing the little eunuch yesterday, the cautious Wu Zhen instinctively didn't want to criticize him behind his back. Seeing Hua Gao staring at him and refusing to let him go if he didn't speak, he paused and could only say: "Hanlin... Very sophisticated."

This is the truth.

Wu Zhen watched the whole process from the sidelines, and felt that this young boy had thought of everything he should have thought of.

First of all, Zhu Yuan wanted to protect the old man just now.

Wu Zhen didn't know the details yet, but seeing that Hua Gao also valued the old man before, he knew that the other party must have something special.

So it's worth maintaining.

Secondly, at the same time of maintenance, the elderly should not be restless at home, or even the father and son will turn against each other. This needs to be handled carefully.

Otherwise, all the good things will turn into bad things.

Zhu Yuan's solution was simply ingenious. He gave the benefits to the grandchildren of the old man, and with just one click, he directly appeased the two generations above.Therefore, not only did the old man have no objection to the subsequent punishment, but it could be seen that the second son of the Liu family, who had a soft personality, obviously wanted his son to study for a better future.

Wu Zhen could even imagine that as long as the woman who was taught a lesson was not too stupid, even for the sake of the child, she would never dare to disrespect the old man again.

Looking back, the whole matter before and after seems to be handled simply, but if other people do it, Wu Zhen feels that even he himself may not be able to think of such a comprehensive answer for a while.

Glancing at Zhu Yuan's walking direction again, Wu Zhen inevitably had strong doubts in his heart.

This……

Is he really a young boy who just passed his 14th birthday yesterday?

However, then he thought about working with such a young man, contacting those rumors, thinking about the "Fundamentals of Mathematics" he studied overnight last night, and the performance of the other party in the meeting half an hour ago, Wu Zhen was relieved again More.

At least, this little boy...wouldn't bring him into an embarrassing situation like his own brother.

Brother works...

Even in his heart, Wu Zhen didn't want to talk too much, but if he could have this young boy's sophistication, he wouldn't be exiled to Suzhou Mansion as a commander.

How could Wu Zhen not know some things that outsiders could understand?

Also advised.

However, because he had studied in his early years, his elder brother has always regarded himself as a Confucian scholar, and he also told him clearly that he only wants a man who is worthy of the common people in the world. As for the title and fame, he doesn't value it.

Wu Zhen was helpless.

It is even conceivable that the lord is probably helpless.

In fact, it has been explicitly hinted at many times.

Just like the previous awards after the flat sheet, everyone has a prose official title, such as Huagao's Ronglu doctor, his own Zishan doctor, but his elder brother does not.This is simply saying that you can be a general with peace of mind, and don't interfere with the affairs handled by the civil servants.

However, in the end, he failed to smooth out his elder brother's arrogant temperament.
