Chapter 45 The fake grandson
Zhu Yunwen!
When Xiao Fan heard this name, his first reaction was to subconsciously run away.
The son-in-law of a merchant family criticized Zhu Yuanzhang's biological grandson, His Royal Highness, and the second emperor of the Ming Dynasty, all his face full of tea...
This crime is enough to be a crime, right? At least it is a crime of disrespect. No matter which one is enough to cut the head ten times and have more surplus.
Putting aside everything, go to the end of the world and become a desperate person wanted by the court.
This thought flashed through Xiao Fan's mind.
He even considered the money he had been after the escape. It was really not good, so he simply snatched the Emperor's Royal Highness. Anyway, he had offended him and didn't care about offending him once more.
Fortunately, Xiao Fan had a calm mind. After the initial panic, he immediately calmed down.
Is he really Zhu Yunwen? How could he appear in my Zuixian Tower? As the crown prince and the heir to the throne of the Ming Dynasty, he should be surrounded by his entourage, right? But the grandson in front of him did not bring a single follower, wearing a long gown with ordinary materials, linen shoes, and a cloth bag made of local cloth squid on his shoulders. No matter how you look, you look like a poor scholar who has been studying for many years and has been taking the exam in Beijing. Even if he is on a tour in a very small dress, he doesn't have to make himself so ugly, right?
Xiao Fan summarized it. In the final analysis, this guy is a fake, and a bold fake. Even the current crown prince dares to pretend. That's all, but he pretends so unprofessional. He is a fool in the world?
As for his purpose of pretending to be the crown prince...
What else can be used to cheat and cheat? Bai Juyi's poems all wrote, "Put the documents and call the imperial edict in hand, and turn the car and call the ox to lead the ox to the north." Of course, lies are for money.
Thinking of this, Xiao Fan's fearful expression gradually closed, and a sneer even appeared on his face.
Lie to me? I've found the wrong person! My nerves have long been deceived by the old liar Taixu. How can I maintain the vigilance of revolution? Doubt everything and deny everything!
Of course, the fake Zhu Yunwen didn't know that in this short period of time, Xiao Fan's heart had already gone through a complicated and bumpy mental journey.
The fake Zhu Yunwen lay half on the counter, blinking and chuckling: "Do you know my identity? Why don't you kneel down to greet the car?"
Xiao Fan really wanted to spit on his face again.
"Are you really Zhu Yunwen?"
"Of course."
"If you are Zhu Yunwen, then I am..." Xiao Fan suddenly stopped talking halfway. He originally planned to say that he was Zhu Yuanzhang, but later he braked the car very rationally. This is too taboo. He can take his life, but I can't.
So Xiao Fan glanced around and found that no one was paying attention to them. Then he put on a bitter face and advised earnestly: "This brother, Tai Qiyu Bufan, why should he pretend to be such a difficult big man? If the government finds out, you will not be able to protect your life. At the least, you will be punished by nine clans, and at the worst, you will be punished by ten clans. Do you have such a great grudge with your family, relatives and friends? Do you have to kill them?"
The fake Zhu Yunwen stared straight and pointed at his nose in disbelief: "Do you suspect I am pretending?"
Xiao Fan glared at him: "Do you think you are real?"
The fake Zhu Yunwen was anxious and angry, and stomped his feet in place: "I am really Zhu Yunwen!"
Xiao Fan gradually lost his patience and waved his hand and said, "Okay, okay, just think I believe it. If there is nothing else, go to other places to fool you. Our store will not entertain officials above the seventh grade..."
"I am not an official, I am the current crown prince!"
"There is another rule in our store that the crown prince and the dog are not allowed to enter..."
"You... dare you scold me? Being presumptuous! So bold!"
"Speak gently! Are you really not afraid of attracting the government officials? Don't want to live?" Xiao Fan shouted coldly.
The fake Zhu Yunwen was so angry that his whole body trembled. He opened his mouth for a long time, but he didn't know how to prove that he was not a fake.
After a while of anger, the fake Zhu Yunwen stomped his feet and slapped them hard on the counter.
"I...I want to have a meal!"
Xiao Fan smiled with relief: "Ruzi can be taught. Our store has always adhered to the service concept of customers being the Jade Emperor. Warm and warm and welcoming are our service purpose. If you say something human, I will not treat you like this..."
The fake Zhu Yunwen gritted his teeth and had the urge to cry: "…………”
He raised his hand and pointed to a corner of the lobby. Xiao Fan slowly said, "Did you see that empty table? You sit there and I'll ask someone to serve you."
"...I don't like this noisy place. Is there a quiet Accord upstairs?"
"Bang!"
Xiao Fan slapped the fake Zhu Yunwen on the forehead, and the inspiration for this move came from the force of Baoqin's split into Huashan.
The fake Zhu Yunwen was stunned for a while and then began to run wildly: "You...you dare to hit me, someone comes..."
"Shut up! You are unlucky kid, dressed like this poor, your family must not be rich, don't you work hard for your parents to make money? You are brave enough to go outside, not only cheat, but also make a fuss about your meal, use your parents' hard-earned money to mess with them, and you're in the Accord. Eating in the prison cell is quieter. Do you go?"
A mist gradually rose from the fake Zhu Yunwen's eyes, tears rolled in his eyes, and his expression seemed particularly aggrieved.
Xiao Fan kindly touched the back of his head and said warmly: "You are about the same age as me, why are you so ignorant? Impersonating the crown prince is a serious crime to kill the nine clans. How many people have you deceived with this identity? Just cheat people. After you cheat, you should also keep a low profile. Save a little..."
Pointing to the empty table in the corner of the lobby, Xiao Fan touched the fake Zhu Yunwen's head and said, "Sit there to eat and drink obediently, stop yelling about what kind of grandson you are. You don't want to die. My shop's guest doesn't want to die with you..."
The fake Zhu Yunwen blinked his eyes twice, and crystal tears finally flowed down. He didn't say a word when he heard this, and turned around and walked towards the empty table. Today's experience was something he had never experienced in his life. While feeling wronged, he also felt a little novel. This is also the reason why he did not turn around and leave.
Xiao Fan smiled with satisfaction: "That's right, honest children are good children..."
The fake Zhu Yunwen couldn't help but look back and stressed again: "I'm really Zhu Yunwen..."
"Bang!" Another force was slashing Mount Hua.
"Shut up! You're still talking! An unlucky child, I'm really asking the government officials to catch you." Xiao Fan's voice and expression were stern.
The fake Zhu Yunwen wiped the tears of grievance and muttered his mouth and sat in the designated position of Xiao Fan.
It was already past mealtime and there were not many guests in the lobby. Xiao Fan thought about it and walked to the counterfeit Zhu Yunwen's table.
He decided to persuade the young man well. For some reason, he had a good impression of the young man and could not bear to see him pretending to be the crown prince and end up in a different place. Xiao Fan decided to persuade him to return to the end.
“Can you drink alcohol?”
The fake Zhu Yunwen snorted and said angrily: "Of course!"
"I'll invite you to drink, but you still have to pay for the food." Xiao Fanyi stepped on the table.
So the two began to sit opposite each other and drink.
After three rounds of wine and five flavors, Xiao Fan acted in a bitter and thoughtful manner and said, "Why do you think you have to do this headless act? You dare to pretend to be the crown prince of the present day. Even if you want to cheat some silver flowers everywhere, you should pretend to be a court official with a smaller identity..."
The fake Zhu Yunwen was furious, and slapped the table hard with a bang, and said crazy: "I am really Zhu Yunwen!"
"Bang!" Xiao Fan made another move to cut Huashan, and the fake Zhu Yunwen lost his temper completely. His tears kept falling like beads with broken threads.
"Unlucky child, you still don't listen to your advice. You think so much, I'm too lazy to care about you. After dinner, leave quickly. Don't implicate my restaurant and suffer..."
The fake Zhu Yunwen sighed heavily while wiping his tears, lowering his head and drinking sip after sip.
Seeing that Xiao Fan didn't say anything, there was nothing to tell him. It was the same thing that they had just met each other, and having a good impression. If others took their kindness as a donkey, Xiao Fan would not want to talk to him anymore. After all, Xiao Fan was still far from living Lei Feng's realm.
The atmosphere between the two fell into a sluggish moment.
Xiao Fan also started drinking the stool of wine one by one, but his mind was distracted.
Manager Xiao also has the worries of Manager Xiao.
The days of traveling through time have not been short, and he feels that he has now completely integrated into this strange ancient world.
Since he has integrated, he should make a plan for his future. In his heart, he is not very satisfied with the two identities of Chen's son-in-law and Zuixianlou shopkeeper. He feels that his achievements are not limited to this.
What should I do?
Of course, being an official, is there anything better in this world than being an official? The feeling of being powerful and responding to one call is obviously much more satisfying than being a shopkeeper or a son-in-law. The purpose of life is to reflect one's own value. Comrade Xiao Fan's value is of course to be a high-ranking official who has left his name in history, so that he can travel through time without vain.
The question now is, how can we become an official?
According to the normal imperial examination procedures, after ten years of hard study, he was competing with thousands of students to squeeze the single-plank bridge? Xiao Fan immediately rejected this unrealistic idea. To be honest, he had not yet known all the traditional Chinese characters in ancient times. How could he pass the exam with such strength?
But there is no other way besides the imperial examination? Now that Zhu Yuanzhang is in power, he has a very strict assessment of the appointment of officials. He can't think about the methods of using backdoors to raise connections and spend money to buy officials and other non-stop methods. More importantly, Zhu Yuanzhang made an inhumane rule. Perhaps Comrade Zhu was bullied by too many wealthy people before the rebellion, or perhaps he bought too many counterfeit and shoddy goods when he was young. Lao Zhu had a very heavy resentment towards merchants throughout his life. It can be said that among the emperors of all dynasties, he stipulated that merchants are not allowed to wear silk, and merchants' children are not allowed to enter official schools, and they are not allowed to take the imperial examination.
In other words, as a business son-in-law, Xiao Fan, let alone becoming an official, did not even have the qualification to take the exam for a scholar.
This cruel fact made Xiao Fan a little depressed. He really wanted to contribute to the Ming Dynasty's court and give full play to the light and heat...
Could it be that I am really just a life of being a shopkeeper and being a son-in-law from other people's home?
Xiao Fan sighed deeply and took a sip of the wine.
The two dull gourds sat in the lobby of Zuixian Tower, drinking silently. Xiao Fan was full of thoughts, while the fake Zhu Yunwen was full of grievances.
Xiao Fan's alcohol capacity is not good, it can be said to be very bad. He could even drink two small bottles of Erguotou in his previous life. He really couldn't expect him to suddenly become as large as a cow after traveling through time.
The result was obviously that Xiao Fan was drunk.
After two pots of bamboo leaves green, Xiao Fan's face was flushed, his eyes were straight, and his mind was a little unclear.
The fake Zhu Yunwen looked at Xiao Fan curiously. After all, he was a young man. He was very angry and wronged. In a short while, he forgot the unhappiness just now. He seemed to be very interested in everything around him, as if he had never seen anything before, and felt novel about everything.
Turning his head and looking at the layout in the lobby, the fake Zhu Yunwen pushed Xiao Fan's arm and said, "Hey, what are you doing to build a platform next to this east wall?"
Xiao Fan raised his heavy head, glanced at the platform on the east with drunken eyes, and casually said: "That's for performances."
“What is a show?”
"It is to ask the storyteller to tell the story, invite the innocent prostitutes in the brothel to play the pipa, sing small songs, or invite the opera troupe to invite the juggling team... In short, it is to attract the attention of the guests, so that their eyes and ears are not idle when they eat, and to attract repeat customers to the greatest extent..."
The fake Zhu Yunwen lit up his eyes and said, "So that's the case. I have also been to many restaurants in the capital. For the first time, I found that a table in the restaurant was of such a wonderful use. Did you come up with this method?"
Although he was drunk, Xiao Fan still heard it clearly when someone praised him. He couldn't help but smile proudly when he heard this. No matter how old a man is, he is actually like a child. He always hopes to be recognized and praised by others at all times. Xiao Fan is of course no exception.
At this moment, Xiao Fan felt that this young man was really pleasing to him, and the more he saw him, the more he liked him.
"It's just a trick of eagle, it's nothing, haha..." Xiao Fan was still modest and modest, and then burped drunk again.
Wine can relieve sorrow and make people quickly forget unpleasant experiences. If a man is not too scrupulous, he can quickly establish a good relationship through drinking. Neither Xiao Fan nor the fake Zhu Yunwen are slim people. The unpleasantness just now completely dissipated with a few crisp sounds of clinking glasses.
The two of them started talking, from people's livelihood to customs, from interesting stories to casual stories, and talked about everything from all over the world. After about two incense sticks, their relationship was so good that they were almost like chopping chicken heads and burning yellow paper to become sworn brothers of different surnames.
The fake Zhu Yunwen also drank a little high, and the wine was obviously not very good. He said a lot after drinking too much, so Xiao Fan always despised such people.
The fake Zhu Yunwen raised his head and fucked him a few times, then hugged Xiao Fan's arm, burped and cried with his tongue, "Brother Xiao, I tell you the truth, you must believe me... I, I am the crown prince Zhu Yunwen!"
"Bang!" A fierce force slashed Huashan.
"Woo...why are you always hitting me?"
"If you don't explain, you understand..."
