Daming: Mixed in Dangzhi County, Beiping

"For the young master to eat?"

Zuo Lai couldn't help being startled, glanced at Guo Lu, and said with a sneer on his face: "Master Hou, it's not that I'm reluctant to part with you, it's just the food in my house... Otherwise, I'll send someone to the restaurant in front to buy a meal. return?"

Guo Lu was stunned and felt something was wrong in his heart.

However, because of his young age, he didn't react immediately.

However, Guo Han and Guo Shen on the side reacted directly and looked at Guo Lu, who was looking around curiously, with strange expressions in their eyes.

Guo An had already slowly shook his head, "Don't bother. I have been pampered since I was a child. I don't know the sufferings of the world. I think the food in the village's homes is more delicious than the food in the restaurant.

In this case, it would only allow him to eat one meal. "

With that said, Guo An took out a two-hundred-dollar banknote from his arms and handed it to Zuo Lai.

"This is my child's meal money, Zuo Lao must accept it!"

"Absolutely not!"

Zuo Lai was startled and said with a face full of anxiety: "Our Jiangjun Mountain is able to achieve this kind of situation all because of the Marquis. We and the thousands of people in the Jiangjun Mountain are eager to set up longevity tablets for the Marquis.

Now, it is the little old man's blessing that the Marquis can bring the young master to the little old man's house for a meal.

Moreover, this meal is only worth a few cents.

If the little old man accepts money from the Marquis, not only will he feel unhappy, but the neighbors around him will also scold him to death! "

"Then I have to accept it!"

Regardless of Zuo Lai's pleas, Guo An was very determined.

"Such a small amount of money is nothing to me, but this meal is very important to you.

Moreover, I will take these two boys to Jiangjun Mountain again in the future!

Maybe, I’ll even have food at your house..."

"This……"

Zuo Lai's expression changed.

Guo An said again: "If you don't accept it, wouldn't it mean that you don't want us to come to your house to eat again?"

Zuo Lai couldn't help but smile bitterly and said helplessly: "In this case, I will thank the Marquis very much!"

"Very good!"

Seeing this, Guo An nodded with great satisfaction.

"Keep it in a hurry, go and cook for the young master!"

Zuo Lai handed the treasure money to the old woman behind him.

The old woman held the treasure tightly, bowed to Guo An, then quickly opened the rice vat, scooped out rice, and started cooking!

At this time, the meals of the people in the village were very simple.

Wash the rice and steam it in a pot. After it is cooked, you can eat it directly.

As for the dishes?

In summer and autumn, you can also grow your own vegetables.

As for the twelfth lunar month of winter, there are no green leaves to be seen at home.

"Is this rice?"

Guo Lu stared blankly at the bowl of rice smelling like rice in his hand, somewhat in disbelief.

On the side, Zuo Lai looked embarrassed.

"Ok!"

Guo An nodded slightly, "Eat it quickly. If you put such delicious rice in these people's homes, they won't be able to eat it more than a few times a month!"

Guo Lu asked again: "But why is there no food?"

Guo An smiled softly, "How expensive is a vegetable in this winter? How can ordinary people like them afford it?"

Guo Lu said: "But, dad, this meal is not as delicious as those in restaurants!"

"how could be!"

Guo An asked, "Are you hungry?"

"Hungry!"

Guo Lu's face was full of grievances. At this moment, he missed the food in the restaurant desperately.

At least, there are vegetables, meat, and soup in it.

Guo An said gently: "Since you are hungry, then eat well. If you think this is still not delicious, there should be people who are much poorer than this family. I can also pay to buy food for you!"

"Wow……"

Guo Lu couldn't bear it anymore and cried.

"Dad, you bullied me!"

Guo An's expression remained unchanged, and he still had a gentle look on his face: "Don't cry, let's discuss it carefully. When did I bully you?"

Guo Lu quickly stopped crying, his face full of grievance, "Dad lied to me and said the food here is delicious..."

"That's it..."

Guo An thought for a moment and then said: "Dad, I want to ask you, if the food is delicious, can you eat it in your stomach?"

"can!"

Guo Lu nodded directly.

Guo An asked again: "Compared with the food in the restaurant, if you eat this bowl of rice now, which one will satisfy your stomach better?"

"This one……"

Guo Lu nodded slightly, but as soon as he finished speaking, he noticed something was wrong.

"Dad, no, it's because I'm too hungry!"

"Ok!"

Guo An nodded slightly, "Then do you still want to eat?"

Guo Lu's face lit up, "Dad, will you take me to a restaurant?"

"We've already eaten the food in the restaurant!" Guo An chuckled, "If you don't want to eat this, I'll take you to eat something better!"

"Better tasting?"

Guo Lu's eyes widened and he shook his head repeatedly.

"Dad, I will eat this!"

"clever!"

Guo An smiled and said, "If you don't want to eat this, I can take you and continue walking into the mountains. The food in the people's homes there will definitely be worse than this!"

Guo Lu was startled and ate quickly.

soon.

A small bowl of rice is eaten directly into the stomach.

Guo An asked again: "Does the food become more delicious when you are hungry?"

"Ok!"

Guo Lu nodded repeatedly, fearing that he would be bullied by his father again.

Guo An smiled with satisfaction and said, "Okay, now that we've finished eating, let's take a walk and take a good look at our fiefdom!"

"Yes, Dad!"

Guo Lu couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard that he was going into the mountain again.

On the side, Guo Han and Guo Shen were also full of joy.

But this time, Zuo Lai also followed Guo An and others.

After walking a long distance, we went deep into Jiangjun Mountain.

After all, Guo Lu was still young and could no longer walk. He just sat on a ridge and looked at everything in front of him with a look of surprise on his face.

"Dad, it's so desolate here, there's nothing!"

"It's winter, so naturally everything dies!"

Guo An nodded slightly.

"Ugh!"

On the side, Zuo Lai finally couldn't help it anymore and sighed.

Guo An then looked to the left.

"Mr. Zuo has been holding it in all this time. If you have anything to say, you might as well say it!"

"Master Hou..."

Zuo Lai opened his mouth, his expression changed for a moment, and a trace of determination flashed in his eyes.

"Please forgive me, Lord Marquis. I do have something to say."

"Say it!"

Guo Andao.

Zuo Lai said: "I wonder if Mr. Hou knows that since the beginning of winter this year, it has not snowed!"

Guo An nodded, "I've heard about this too!"

Zuo Lai said again: "Master Hou, this is extremely unusual. I am worried that next year may be a drought year!"

"dry year?"

Guo An's face changed slightly.

Zuo Lai said again: "Master Hou, whether it's a drought year or not, we can still get through it by relying on the Qinhuai River in Jiangjun Mountain.

But now, someone is blaming you for the drought year. I don’t know if anyone has told you about this, but I must tell you."

"Crime of a drought year?"

Guo An's expression became condensed, "Tell me more carefully?"

Zuo Lai said: "Master Hou, ever since you led the Shenji Battalion to blow up many Annan people to death.

In the villages near the capital, a rumor spread out at some point.

It is said that firearms are too harmful to Tianhe, but you also used firearms to kill hundreds of thousands of people in Annan. This matter is even more harmful to Tianhe...

Therefore, God began to punish us! "

"What a bunch of traitors!"

Guo An couldn't help but cursed angrily.

"Master Hou is absolutely right!"

Zuo Lai nodded repeatedly, "Many people will not believe this kind of thing. However, many people are ignorant and believe in ghosts and gods. In addition, this year is so abnormal. The little old man is worried that there are people who are specifically spreading rumors to harm Hou. Lord!"

"Don't worry, Mr. Zuo, I will definitely find out about this matter!"

On the bleak mountainside, Guo An looked grim.

The thief who spread rumors about Guo An for nothing is really vicious!

Thinking about it, Guo An took the three little ones and headed back.

After getting off the carriage, Guo Lu ran to the house, got directly into Yue Lan's arms, and told Yue Lan about his father's crimes.

In this regard.

Guo An didn't care at all. This was the benefit of ancient times.

However, after hearing the butler's report, Guo An couldn't help but think deeply.

"His Majesty sent someone to the house?"

Guo An frowned and thought for a moment, unable to figure it out, so he sat on a soft chair and stopped wasting his brain.

"However, since it's not an urgent matter, there's no rush..."

Then, he looked at the butler Guo Ang.

"Guo Ang, did you know that there are rumors near the capital that if it doesn't snow this year, there will be a drought year? It's because I led the Shenji Battalion to kill too many people in Annan, which is harmful to the peace of the world..."
