My father Zhu Gaoxu

Chapter 10 What a Good Child

The boring days finally became more fun, Zhu Zhanhe listened to Yao Guangxiao chanting scriptures every morning, and sneaked out to have a meal with Huang Taihu at noon.

Speaking of which, Huang Tai is also a wonderful person, as long as the dishes Zhu Zhanhe mentioned, he can have someone make them the next day, and then the two of them will judge together.

When talking about food, it is inevitable to talk about the customs of various places. This made Zhu Zhanhe discover again that although Huang Tai is fat, he is also a well-informed person. a feeling of.

At noon that day, Zhu Zhanhe came to the gazebo by the stream again, but what surprised him was that Huang Tai was not there.

"Didn't come, are you afraid of being eaten by me?"

Zhu Zhanhe murmured in his heart, but from what he saw, Huang Tai should not be short of money, let alone a few meals.

At this moment, Huang Tai hurried over from the bamboo forest path with two servants. He was fat and hot, so he wiped his sweat while walking, looking very embarrassed.

"Little...little brother, forgive me for keeping you waiting."

Huang Tai came to the pavilion apologetically, out of breath. After just a few steps, he looked as if he had just been fished out of the water.

"Uncle Huang, you're welcome. I'm just here too."

Zhu Zhanhe smiled and asked the other party to sit down, and the two servants put the food on the table and retreated outside the gazebo.

"Some chores have delayed time today, I will punish myself with three cups first!"

Huang Tai said that he poured himself a glass of wine and was about to drink it.

But Zhu Zhanhe suddenly reached out his hand to stop the other party and said: "Uncle Huang, listen to my advice, we can eat food, but don't drink wine!"

"Why is this?"

Huang Tai was taken aback for a moment, they mainly judged the food these few days, the wine was only incidental, and he didn't drink much.

"Uncle Huang, you don't know that alcohol is mainly digested by the liver when you drink it in your stomach, but if you get fat, your liver will definitely have problems, so you'd better not drink it if you can!"

Zhu Zhanhe exhorted very solemnly.

According to Huang Tai's visual estimation, it should be no less than three hundred catties. If he is so fat, he must at least have a fatty liver. He must also have cardiovascular problems. In his situation, he should have given up drinking long ago.

"I didn't expect that you not only know food, but also medicine!"

Huang Tai asked in surprise when he heard the words.

"I don't really understand it, I just read a few miscellaneous books at random, and I understand something."

Zhu Zhanhe told a little lie, he was once fat, and he does know a little about it.

Hearing Zhu Zhanhe's words, Huang Tai's expression suddenly became a little strange. He stared at Zhu Zhanhe for a long time, and finally sighed suddenly, but said nothing.

"What's the matter, Uncle Huang, do you have something on your mind?"

Zhu Zhanhe asked curiously.

"It's nothing on my mind. I just saw you, and I thought of my son. It would be great if he knew the cold and the hot like you."

Huang Tai hesitated for a moment, and finally said with a wry smile.

"Uncle Huang, is your son ignorant and making you angry?"

Zhu Zhanhe asked curiously again.

"It's not that he's ignorant, but he's too sensible, which makes me very distressed."

Huang Tai smiled wryly again.

"What you said, son is sensible, shouldn't you be happier?"

Zhu Zhanhe was also a little confused, how could he be sensible and understand the problem?
"It is good to be sensible. My son is smart and studious since he was a child. My father also likes him very much. He is much closer to his grandson than to my son. He takes him with him in everything. Many people even say that the reason why my father chose me to take over The family business is because I like my son to be better, compared to me, I am just a dispensable transition!"

At the end of Huang Tai's speech, his face was full of grief and indignation, and he picked up the wine glass to drink, but when the wine reached his mouth, he thought of Zhu Zhanhe's advice, so he put it down heavily, and stuffed several large pieces of braised pork chewed up.

"I understand, so Uncle Huang, you are jealous of your son!"

Zhu Zhanhe laughed.

"It's not a matter of jealousy, it's just that I was the eldest son, and the family business should be inherited by me, but after all, it's all my son's credit. On the contrary, no one has seen my hard work these years." !"

Huang Tai again indignantly called Qudao for himself.

"Uncle Huang, just be content with it. It's better to have a sensible son than I have an ignorant father!"

Zhu Zhanhe was also seduced, and couldn't help complaining at this moment.

"Oh? Why is your father so ignorant?"

Huang Tai immediately became interested when he heard Zhu Zhanhe's words, and immediately forgot about his son.

"This... the son doesn't say anything about his father, so I still won't say it!"

Zhu Zhanhe suddenly regretted it again. In this era, the word "filial piety" is too big, so sometimes we have to pay attention.

"Don't worry, you always keep your worries in your heart, and you will definitely ruin yourself. Although we hit it off, we just met by chance. After leaving the Tianjie Temple, we may never see each other again, so what are you worrying about?" Just say it!"

Huang Tai seemed to be very interested in Zhu Zhanhe's family affairs, and at this moment he kept pushing.

After thinking about it, Zhu Zhanhe seemed to make sense.

"Well, I have held back these words for a long time, and I haven't been able to find anyone to talk to!"

Zhu Zhanhe finally slapped the table, picked up the wine glass in front of him and drank it down in one gulp.

"The situation in my family is actually very old-fashioned. My father is the second child. He has always wanted to compete with my uncle for the family business. Because my grandfather dotes on him more, he usually does a lot of outrageous things."

"Since your grandfather dotes on your father so much, maybe he will really let your father inherit the family business?"

Unexpectedly, Huang Tai interrupted suddenly, with a bit of resentment in his expression.

"Fart! My father is very aggressive and impulsive. Even if he wants to win the family business, he must at least be able to win people's hearts. Grandpa is not stupid, how could he hand over the family business to him!"

The more Zhu Zhanhe talked, the more angry he became. Zhu Gaoxu couldn't understand such a simple matter.

"Is that why you don't like your father so much?"

Huang Tai seemed very surprised, his big white and fat face was full of disbelief.

"It's not that I don't like my father, but it's the fact. What I'm most worried about now is that my grandfather's love for my father is coming to an end. By then, our family may be in trouble."

At the end of Zhu Zhanhe's speech, he sighed again. Zhu Di was about to return to the imperial court. At that time, Zhu Gaoxu would not only be deprived of his military power, but also demoted to Shandong.

"In this case, why don't you persuade your father well?"

Huang Tai leaned over and said softly.

"I want to persuade you, but my father's hot temper, believe it or not, if I dare to persuade him, he can beat me out of shit!"

Zhu Zhanhe had a bitter look on his face, and with a father like Zhu Gaoxu, even if he was a time traveler, he would not curse.

When Huang Tai heard Zhu Zhanhe's complaint, he seemed to nod with deep understanding.

"Forget it, don't talk about this, so as not to spoil the mood!"

Zhu Zhanhe shook his head suddenly, and brought the topic to food again.

Although Huang Tai still had some ideas, he couldn't ask further questions.

After the meal was over, Zhu Zhanhe bid farewell and left.

Huang Tai watched Zhu Zhanhe's back disappear into the depths of the bamboo forest, and finally heaved a long sigh: "What a good child, why does he have a father like the second child?"
