The essence of human beings is to eat. There is a lot of people outside the palace, but in fact, the only place that can make people sit down while strolling around is the restaurant.
Besides, he can't go to places like Goulan now.
"Linglong Restaurant." Zhu Houzhao, now gradually accustomed to traditional Chinese characters, took a step inside.
The shopkeeper is a short man with thin eyes and a mustache. He is shorter than average, about 1.5 meters tall.
Zhu Houzhao was dressed in an extraordinary way, so he took care of him with care.
I only dare to talk to Zhang Yong.
"Shopkeeper, please serve some good food in the private room on the second floor."
"Hey, yes, yes." The shopkeeper glanced at Zhu Houzhao, who was still a child, from the corner of his eye. All he could see was his straight back and flowing black hair.
My heart was moved when I heard Zhang Yong's voice: white face and beardless voice, a drake voice - a person from the palace!
The master who was serving him looked like he was seven or eight years old. Although he didn't dare to think about it, he actually already had the answer.
"Er Zhuzhu! You are the most agile with your hands and feet. You can serve the distinguished guests on the second floor as I please!"
Zhu Houzhao sat down on the second floor, leaning on the railing. Below was the market with people coming and going. He was very contented.
But Zhang Yongxin was always uneasy.
"Sir... why don't you go back quickly?"
"Stop talking nonsense." Zhu Houzhao stared at him. He finally came out and went back in just twenty minutes?
"But... but those adults have already discovered it. I 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 aside first." Zhu Houzhao's cup fell on the table with a bang, and he was a little angry.
In this way, Zhang Yong didn't dare to express his anger.
Zhu Houzhao said: "Now that it has been discovered, there is no way to escape the imperial censor's memorial. Could it be that now that we have gone back, those people will stop making noises?"
Although there is some truth, this is a dead pig that is not afraid of boiling water.
Zhang Yong did not dare to refute.
"Furthermore, since these people have discovered my son-in-law, why don't any of them come to see me? They are all busy going back to write the memorial, right? You can go back and check who met me today. "
The eunuchs of this dynasty walked around the civil servants, so they were naturally a little scared.
In fact, it all depends on the emperor's attitude.
Eunuchs are the emperor's accessories. If the emperor is being bullied, they naturally have nothing to do.
"Yes. As for the young master, slave..."
"Shh." Zhu Houzhao raised his index finger to his mouth, and then pointed to the stairs. There was a noise over there.
A few seconds later, the shopkeeper's face with narrow eyes and a mustache appeared again.
"Today, Linglong Restaurant has a distinguished guest. It's really brilliant. Sir," he also knew that he and Zhu Houzhao couldn't talk to each other, so he said to Zhang Yong, "I don't know how many special dishes the small restaurant has." Can you present it to your noble lord?"
"There's no need to offer it. Just bring it over and we'll pay for it."
The shopkeeper smiled flatteringly and said: "How can a villain dare to bring gold and silver? Second pillar, serve the food quickly!"
Zhu Houzhao didn't listen to their polite nonsense and just took a quick look at the dishes that were served.
There was a dish of braised pork that was sizzling and smoking. The scalding soup and the crystal-clear meat skin looked really delicious.
There is also a dish of scrambled eggs with shrimps. The shrimps are washed very cleanly, the meat is smooth and tender, and the eggs are golden and plump.
The rest, such as spinach, mushrooms, and chicken stewed in fragrant soup, are also delicious and delicious.
He seems to be a smart man who can wink. Judging from his humble appearance, he probably relies on this to survive.
"The shopkeeper's."
"The villain is here."
"Do you have any children at home?"
"The villain has three daughters and four sons."
Zhu Houzhao almost didn't squirt out, it's really short and the essence, it's so fertile,
"What do they do for a living?"
The shopkeeper replied: "The eldest daughter and the second daughter are already married to other people, the younger daughter is still young, and the four sons have already worshiped their teachers and studied the Holy Scriptures every day."
"Are all four sons studying?"
The shopkeeper chuckled and said, "If you don't study, wouldn't you be a businessman like a villain for generations? I am not afraid of the jokes of the nobles. Since my grandfather, my Song family has been looking forward to having a seed of reading."
"Then what are your four sons' achievements now?"
"The eldest son has already passed the Tongsheng examination, and the other three still need to work hard."
Zhu Houzhao could only shake his head after hearing this.
Later generations only heard about people like Yang Tinghe who were awarded Jinshi at the age of nineteen. Even if they were not admitted as teenagers, most of those who left their names were Jinshi.
But these days, it is more difficult to get a Jinshi than to get into Tsinghua University and Peking University.
There are so many people who didn't pass the exam.
"Your family is rich, otherwise how can you afford to support me?"
"The villain gritted his teeth and offered. After all, studying is the right way. Unless they really can't afford it, the villain would never ask them to follow my path. The villain didn't have this opportunity when he was young."
"Everything is inferior, only reading is superior."
"This is exactly what the noble man said."
"Then I wish them high school as soon as possible."
"Hey! Thank you for your kind words!"
The conversation turned out to be peaceful and cheerful.
But Zhu Houzhao was not so happy in his heart.
Everyone is stuck in this path, and studying is very expensive. If you finally pass the exam, can you make some money to repay your money?
Just like the conversation between Wang Yangming and his teacher back then,
What is the purpose of reading? When Wang Yangming said he was a saint, his teacher thought it was nonsense. What kind of saint would he become? Studying is for the imperial examination,
What about the imperial examination? Of course it’s to be an official, but what about being an official? Being an official is to become a superior person, just like this shopkeeper, and to get rid of the reality of being at the bottom of society.
The funny thing is,
At least 90% of people have 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.
"Sir, what's wrong with you?"
Zhu Houzhao said: "It is easy to let a person die, but it is difficult to let a person change."
"Medical resources" are insufficient, and no minister has proposed how to solve it. In other words, in their opinion, this is not a problem. This is how society operates. If there are always tragedies in the world where there is no money for medical treatment and no food for cooking, then it is the power of the people. There is no way.
However, the total wealth of society is only so much. If those in power have the right, what can they do?
Zhu Houzhao thought about this problem for the first time, that is, Emperor Hongzhi had actually listened to his ministers. If he continued to follow the Confucian path after taking over, he would be nothing more than Hongzhi's second best.
Doesn't solve the problem.
While he was thinking,
There was sudden commotion on the street in front of the restaurant, and a few screams attracted everyone's attention.
Zhang Yong was immediately alert
"What's wrong?" Zhu Houzhao asked.
"It should be... like a kid from a certain family, running rampant on the streets, bullying men and women."
It's the same thing again.
Zhu Houzhao had heard a lot about it but had never seen it before, so he moved a stool to the railing and stood on it to look down.
Sure enough, a young man, with many green-clothed entourage, surrounded the two girls. The little girl looked shabby, she was just a hard worker setting up a tofu stall, but she still had to face this.
However, today’s protagonist is not Zhu Houzhao;
Below there is a strong young man carrying a stick. From a high place, you can see him squeezing through the crowd to block the playboy brother.
"Oh, there are still people who want to be a hero and save the beauty?! Are you alone and still want to go to heaven?"
"God is watching what you do! Justice is in the heart of the people. You think I am just one person, but you don't know that God is watching you too!"
Just when a fight was about to start, someone from Dongchang slipped through the crowd and climbed to the second floor of the restaurant.
He knelt down towards the prince's back and said, "Your Majesty has a decree. Please return to the palace as soon as possible."
Zhu Houzhao rubbed his fingers. It seemed that someone had filed a complaint.
"Don't watch anymore, go back and meet them."
Before leaving, he picked a piece of shrimp and put it in his mouth.
"Your Highness, this way..."
The figure had already gone down the stairs, but a voice came up from below, "You still want to ask me about such a trivial matter? You don't know what to do?"
Zhang Yong was encouraged and happily agreed, "Yes!"
