Chapter 380
Xuanyuan Chen seized the opportunity, "Father, you haven't eaten for a day. This is the pork ribs stewed potatoes that the boy has ordered the kitchen to make."
King Zhenbei was too hungry, but he didn't feel hungry. There were so many things to worry about this day that he forgot that he hadn't eaten for a day.
Seeing that the son he taught himself was so sensible, King Zhenbei felt comforted, "Chen'er has a heart, and the father is really hungry."
A large bowl of stewed pork ribs with potatoes was devoured by King Zhenbei, "Hey! We have to be hungry again for a while!"
Xuanyuan Chen: "..." Then you won't refuse!
But he didn't dare to say that he could do it when he was hungry, and he was afraid that when he was exhausted from hunger, the North Vietnamese army would come to overwhelm the situation.
Xuanyuan Chen originally wanted to tell his father that he recognized his cousin, but he didn't dare to say it at this time, for fear that his father would be distracted.
His father is too difficult! Protecting the border for decades, has been oppressed by the emperor, and has to hand over food without paying army salaries!
His father asked Zhennan Marquis to borrow the food, so that their Zhenbei army could eat enough, if it wasn't for the North Vietnam to go back and not exchange it this time.
They couldn't even collect 50,000 stones together, could it be that their Zhenbei Army only had to drink the life of the northwest wind!
"Father, let's lead the soldiers to hunt wild beasts tomorrow, and use them to stew potatoes, so that you won't be hungry." Xuanyuan Chen lowered his eyes and said softly.
"That's the only way, Chen'er, have the people from Lanni Town left?" King Zhenbei still hoped to borrow food.
"The exchange is complete, and people have been taken away. Those people seem to be very happy to follow."
Xuanyuan Chen answered truthfully, the people who exchanged this time also included the soldiers of the Zhenbei Army, and those who were injured were injured when hunting wild beasts.
There are also some people from Youzhou Fucheng, the old and the old with their families, and the young and the young who are willing to sell themselves as slaves.
I heard that if you sell yourself as a slave, you can eat and live.
They came to join the King of Zhenbei because they planned to sell themselves as slaves, for a bite to eat, and for young adults who wanted to join the army.
"They're just for one bite. Chu Lixuan promises that the slaves and maids they buy are all to take care of their meals, and then the disabled soldiers, can you be unhappy! You might even think that their ancestral graves are smoked!"
The king of Zhenbei said faintly that the people he can't afford to support can be thrown to his imperial sister, and his imperial sister will exchange food for them.
This brother-in-law relationship made him feel relieved, but at the same time, he felt a little uncomfortable, and it was his imperial sister who was paying at all times.
Their elder sister had also worked hard for the emperor's elder brother before, but in the end, he actually exiled their family. His emperor's elder brother had done too much!
Xuanyuan Chen said seriously: "Father, it's not that they feel that the ancestral tombs are emitting green smoke, but that it is their ancestral tombs that are emitting green smoke.
Our healthy people will face starvation, and they have since jumped into the basket of white rice, and they will not worry about eating and drinking in the future. What is it if the smoke from their ancestral graves? "
"Hahaha..." King Zhenbei was full and in a better mood. Hearing his son say this, he felt very reasonable.
"Father, do you know why that Cheng Xianping stared at his concubine?" Xuanyuanchen had a good relationship with his father.
Still couldn't help but say, he also wanted to have a good talk with his father.
"Aren't you talking about him, but staring at this king?" King Zhenbei asked casually.
He really felt that it didn't matter who he looked at, his women were all beautiful, and there were a lot of people who admired them, so what was a glance at!
As long as King Zhenbei has a chance, he will stare at Concubine Cui Gui.
"The Li family married a daughter to go to the countryside back then. She is my mother-in-law's sister..." Before Xuanyuanchen could finish his words, he was interrupted by the King of Zhenbei.
"So, that's Cheng's uncle? That boy is your cousin?" King Zhenbei was shocked when he heard the news.
Concubine Li actually does not recognize poor relatives in the countryside! Moreover, she hadn't even mentioned it to him, so this woman must have a hard heart!
Xuanyuan Chen looked at his father's king exuding a strong violent aura, he didn't know if he should admit it, or if it was too late to change his words!
King Zhenbei looked at his son with his head lowered and didn't speak. He already knew the answer. It didn't matter if Xuanyuan Chen said it or not.
"Did you recognize each other? Why do you believe them?" King Zhenbei was very curious. This son has been with him since he was eight years old, and he raised him personally.
"Because, Shuang'er has already recognized them, and my aunt's family has always known about our existence. I was worried about dragging down the mother and concubine before, so I didn't come here."
Xuanyuanchen was actually very moved by what his aunt did. Aunt felt humble and didn't want to implicate his concubine.
However, since his mother gave birth to their brothers and sisters, her status has stabilized, and it is completely okay to want to take care of relatives in the countryside.
But his mother never thought about taking care of her own sister, and pretended not to know her existence.
And his aunt! Now that life is a little better, I just miss his mother and want to walk with her. How precious is this thought for his mother.
"Chu Lixuan sent your uncle and his son to exchange food this time. It can be seen that your uncle's family is highly valued in Lannii Town."
The fact that King Zhenbei can live to this day proves that he is not a mediocre and incompetent person. He sees problems very incisively.
"Yes, the eldest cousin said that he didn't receive any special treatment before, that is, he opened up wasteland to grow potatoes every day, but his younger brother was very fond of Mrs. Chu."
Xuanyuanchen recalled what the eldest cousin mentioned about Master Chu and Madam Chu, and his admiration was beyond words.
It's just like what it says in the book, if Master Chu or Madam Chu likes it, it's like the emperor's close minister.
But Xuanyuan Chen would not say these words, and his father Wang would definitely be angry and scolded him for being disobedient.
"What your cousin means, they can support your mother and concubine in the future, so you want to meet her this time?"
"That's not true, it's just that my aunt thinks that their family will never hold back her concubine again!" Xuanyuanchen thought so too, but he wouldn't say that.
"Then does your mother-in-law know about this?" The King of Zhenbei asked knowingly, and wanted to try the son's true thoughts.
"Mother-in-law has always known that there is a younger sister in the country!" Xuanyuan Chen knew that his father was watching and didn't care about the backyard.
In fact, his father knows better than anyone else that everything about the women in the backyard is just that his father doesn't like it, so he won't help anyone.
"Chen'er means that you don't want to force your mother and concubine to recognize her relatives?" King Zhenbei felt that his son had grown up and had his own opinions.
However, this idea is too big! Recognizing relatives, I don't want this king's consent!
"Chen'er, don't you plan to get the consent of your mother and concubine when you marry in the future?" King Zhenbei was afraid that his son would not get his consent.
