Xiaoyao Xiaojunhou

Chapter 194
The old beggar is free and has no reason to restrain his steps...

However, Dong Shuzhen did not expect that her master would be "defeated" by the "pomegranate skirt" of that delicious meal.

Unexpectedly, unexpectedly!

In addition, Dong Shuzhen is also very confused about her husband.

How does he know the names of so many dishes?
Why haven’t I heard my husband talk about it before?
too weird!

The master is strange, and so is the husband.

Dong Shuzhen's big black and white eyes glanced back and forth between the old beggar and Zhu Xiuyuan, but there was also a kind of confusion in her eyes.

"Stir-fried carp, stir-fried prawns, soft fried tenderloin, soft fried chicken, assorted sausages, braised cold duck, sesame butter rolls, braised fresh mushrooms, braised fish breasts, braised fish maw, braised fish slices, vinegar Braised pork slices, braised three delicacies..."

Zhu Xiuyuan had no time to pay attention to the reactions of everyone except the old beggar. He just opened his mouth and kept naming the names of the dishes one after another.

The "fish" of the old beggar has been attracted by the "bait" he threw.

However, the old beggar is too cunning and has not taken the bait completely.

So it's not time to close the net yet, Zhu Xiuyuan still has to work hard and throw out more delicious "baits"...

As for the dish name...why was Zhu Xiuyuan able to pronounce it smoothly?This was mainly due to the cross talk cross talk video of "Guo Daxia" that he had watched before.

And because Zhu Xiuyuan is the only golden finger for time travellers—the memories of his past life are as new as ever.

With the combination of the two, Zhu Xiuyuan was able to come up with such a long list of dish names.

"...Beeswax elbow, pot-roasted elbow, grilled elbow strips, stewed lamb, sauced lamb, roasted lamb, roasted lamb, clear lamb, five-spice lamb, boiled three kinds, fried three kinds, fried fruit rolls, braised Sandan..."

Zhu Xiuyuan rolled up his sleeves and worked hard. He had already finished reading two-thirds of the long list of dish names. I believe that by the time he finished reading, this old beggar would have "taken the bait"!
"Stop, stop, stop...stop..."

However, the old beggar suddenly waved his hand and stopped Zhu Xiuyuan.

His voice was extremely urgent. It seemed that if Zhu Xiuyuan read out one more dish name, it would be an extremely tragic loss!

"Ok?"

Zhu Xiuyuan stopped immediately.

He recited the name of the dish so smoothly that although his voice stopped, his mouth did not stop immediately and was still opening and closing gently...

"Stop chanting..." The old beggar held the huge wine gourd in his left hand and shook it, but no sound came out, "The old beggar's wine gourd is empty, stop chanting!"

Everyone was confused again...

The old beggar named each of the dishes that came out of Zhu Xiuyuan's mouth as "drinking dishes" and drank all the wine in the huge wine gourd!
OMG!

What kind of fairy operation is this.

Dong Shuzhen, Yan Dashan, Xia Wu, Qiu Wen and others were all stunned. They had never seen such a strange thing before.

The two elders Liu and Guan looked at each other, shook their heads and smiled bitterly.

Their gang leader...

The corners of Zhu Xiuyuan's mouth wriggled slightly, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and said in a hoarse voice: "Master, there is endless wine in the humble house, and there are endless delicious food in the humble house... Master, please come to the humble house and stay for a while. So that the disciples can respect you, master?"

Dong Shuzhen reacted immediately, grabbed the old beggar's arm with one hand, shook it and said coquettishly: "Yes, Master, you can stay here for a while..."

However, before Dong Shuzhen had finished speaking, the old beggar had already approached Zhu Xiuyuan with a whoosh.

An old face was full of excitement: "Boy Zhu, where did you come from that "Secret Book of Searching for Treasures"? The old beggar has lived most of his life, how come he has never heard of it?"

Zhu Xiuyuan pretended to be calm, and said with cupped hands: "Master, that strange book is... gone. But Master, you don't have to doubt its authenticity, because this book is the same as the ancient book that records the methods of preventing and controlling the plague. Put together..."

The old beggar stared at Zhu Xiuyuan suspiciously, his eyes as big as bells, with a look of scrutiny.

"Boy Zhu, are you trying to trick the old beggar?"

The old beggar was very suspicious.

Although it is said that this boy will have great achievements, this little guy is also too cunning, and the old beggar has to be suspicious.

Zhu Xiuyuan's heart skipped a beat.

However, he still pretended to be calm. He knew that he must not give in at this time. If he gave in, all his efforts would be in vain!

Moreover, although Zhu Xiuyuan's body and bones are weak, his character has been as strong as a city wall in his two lives, and he has a sense of not giving up until he achieves his goal, and he will not give up until he sees the Yellow River.

Far beyond comparison!
The harder it becomes to keep the old beggar, the more Zhu Xiuyuan thinks that the old beggar is a master, and the more unwilling he is to give up and seize every opportunity!

"no!"

Zhu Xiuyuan denied it loudly, his voice like a bell.

It seemed as if he had been greatly wronged because of the old beggar's suspicion.

"Master, if the disciple is making it up, how can the disciple read out so many dish names in one breath? If master doesn't believe it, the disciple can continue reading..."

After Zhu Xiuyuan finished speaking, he moved his posture, opened his mouth, and continued to read the long name of the dish.

"Eh... I can't do it, I can't do it!"

The old beggar was anxious and hurriedly stopped Zhu Xiuyuan.

Now that he has drunk all the wine and has nothing to drink, if Zhu Xiuyuan continues to read, wouldn't it be a waste of natural resources?
"Okay, okay, the old beggar believes that you are a kid, don't read it quickly!"

For the sake of delicious food, the old beggar had already compromised a little.

Zhu Xiuyuan's eyes lit up, he immediately seized the opportunity, took advantage of every opportunity, hurriedly grabbed the old beggar's arm, and began to beg the old beggar to stay...

Dong Shuzhen, a married woman, grabbed the old beggar's other arm and, like a monk chanting sutras, begged the old beggar to stay for a while.

The remaining Yan Dashan, Qiu Wen, Xia Wu, and the two elders Liu and Guan were still as confused as ever, with their eyes widened...

"Okay, okay! The old beggar can just stay here. I'm really scared of you two brats..." The old beggar finally compromised.

It finally worked!
Zhu Xiuyuan couldn't help but feel overjoyed!
He finally succeeded in retaining the master, the old beggar!

It's not easy!

Zhu Xiuyuan believed that after all his hard work, the leader of the Beggar Clan who stayed behind would bring him unimaginable benefits!

"Yeah! Master, you can finally play with your apprentice, Master..." Dong Shuzhen cried with joy.

Although she now has her husband as a "super playmate", she is not a person who likes the new and hates the old. She can't let go of her "old playmate" when she was a child.

"Ouch!"

The old beggar looked at Dong Shuzhen, who was crying with joy, with a look of despair on his face.

He hurriedly pushed Dong Shuzhen into Zhu Xiuyuan's arms, let him hold her, and said with a smile: "Boss Zhu, now you are Xiao Zhen'er's husband, you must discipline her well and don't let her be naughty!"

"Master... no one else can!" Dong Shuzhen retorted arrogantly in Zhu Xiuyuan's arms.

Zhu Xiuyuan held Dong Shuzhen's shoulders and smiled at the old beggar: "Disciple, I will obey the master's orders!" The old beggar grinned, but didn't say anything.

There are many people who have the nerve to call him master... but there are many of them. It won't be a big deal if I wish you one more person.

"Zhu Xiaozi, don't be too spoiled to little Zhen'er. Try to let her give birth to a litter of Zhu Xiaozi as soon as possible. Haha, it's better to avoid her pestering the old beggar all the time..."

The old beggar laughed like a shameless old man.

"Master..." Dong Shuzhen covered her face shyly and shrank into Zhu Xiuyuan's arms, almost too embarrassed to see anyone.

"Forehead……"

Zhu Xiuyuan was also a little embarrassed, but he immediately found a way to resolve the embarrassment: "Master, this is not the place to talk. Why don't we go back to our humble abode first and prepare good wine and food? How about having a few drinks with you, disciple?"

"Okay, but boy Zhu, the old beggar kept it for your "Secret Book of Searches". If I find out that boy Zhu you are making this up, I will run away..."

"Master, don't worry, it must be a delicious dish that you have never tasted before, master, don't worry!" Zhu Xiuyuan said with a smile.

However, even though Zhu Xiuyuan said so, he still felt a little guilty.

Sigh... It's really not easy to keep the old beggar. I wonder if he can make delicious food that will make the old beggar's eyes shine when he goes back later.

Still need to continue to work hard!

"Wonderful son-in-law, Zhen'er..."

At this moment, a large group of people came straight towards them.

Zhu Xiuyuan and others looked around hurriedly, but it turned out that his father-in-law was here, personally leading a large group of heavily armed state soldiers with murderous intent.

Apparently Dong Cheng got the news that Zhu Xiuyuan was assassinated here, so he hurried over with the state soldiers.

"Father-in-law!"

"Daddy!"

Zhu Xiuyuan and Dong Shuzhen greeted him.

Dong Cheng was anxious, and walked over in two or three steps. After carefully looking up, down, left, and right, he asked Zhu Xiuyuan anxiously, "Son-in-law, are you all right? Where are those black-clothed assassins?"

"Father-in-law, my son-in-law is fine. Father-in-law, those black-clothed assassins have been dealt with by Master and his old man..."

Zhu Xiuyuan said, leading Dong Cheng to the old beggar.

Dong Cheng naturally knew the old beggar.

He was startled, and hurriedly cupped his hands and said: "It turns out to be Gang Leader Hong. With Gang Leader here, my virtuous son-in-law must be safe and sound..."

"Hey..." The old beggar waved his hand and said with a smile, "Haha, I haven't seen you for many years, and Master Dong has finally become the governor of Yizhou. Congratulations!"

"Haha, to be honest with what the gang leader said, if it weren't for my virtuous son-in-law, I wouldn't be sitting on the position of governor... By the way, since the gang leader has come to Jiangzhou, why not stay in a humble house for a while, Zhen'er is I’m thinking of you all the time.”

"Dad..." Dong Shuzhen felt a little embarrassed.

"Father-in-law, my son-in-law has invited master to stay at home for a while. Master has agreed. We are going back now." Zhu Xiuyuan said with a smile.

"Oh? Okay, my dear son-in-law, you did a good job." Dong Cheng praised Zhu Xiuyuan, and then said to the old beggar: "Brother Hong, then let my dear son-in-law entertain the gang leader on my behalf. This disaster has just ended, and things in the yamen I’m busy...I will definitely have a few drinks with the gang leader in the evening.”

"It's okay, it's okay. Go and do your work. The people of Jiangzhou are really lucky to have a parent like you. Haha, don't worry about the old beggar."

Now that the old beggar decided to stay, he seemed more easy-going.

Zhu Xiuyuan led the way and said to the old beggar: "Master, please come this way..."

"My lord, my lord, it's not good..."

However, at this time, another group of state soldiers, about ten people in total, rushed towards this direction, their voices extremely anxious.

Everyone hurriedly turned their heads to look.

I saw that the dozen or so state soldiers were in a very embarrassed state, their clothes were torn, and rags were blowing in the wind. In addition, they were also very dirty, with mud, grass clippings, etc.

Their faces were as dirty as their clothes, and some had wounds and blood stains on them, as if they had experienced a fierce struggle.

Dong Cheng and Zhu Xiuyuan stepped out from the crowd and stood in front of them.

In a few breaths, the dozen state soldiers ran up to Dong Cheng and Zhu Xiu.

"Why are you so panicked? Why are you waiting here?" Dong Cheng asked in a deep voice.

"The Governor... Your Excellency, Sima... Your Excellency..." The state soldier took a few breaths, bent down and put his hands on his knees, "Miss... she..."

miss! ?

Zhu Xiuyuan raised his eyebrows.

He suddenly remembered that when having breakfast in the back hall of the west courtyard of Dong Mansion this morning, Dong Shuyu had said that she would go to Jingdezhen, Fuliang County, to find several masters of porcelain and recruit them to study how to make porcelain. Purple clay teapot.

Dong Shuyu is a weak woman. She naturally needs someone to protect her when she travels far away.

Now, Dong Shuyu is the daughter of the governor, and the people accompanying him to protect him are naturally a large number of state soldiers!

At that time, Zhu Xiuyuan was worried about Dong Shuyu's safety.

But I also thought that with so many state soldiers protecting her, as well as the steward of the Dong Mansion, and the two stewards Dong Yi and Dong Er, there should be no problem...

However, looking at the appearance of these dozen state soldiers now, something must have happened to Dong Shuyu.

Zhu Xiuyuan's heart immediately clenched.

Shuyu, she...it’s best that nothing happens to her!

It wasn't just Zhu Xiuyuan who was worried, Dong Cheng and Dong Shuzhen were also worried.

"Sister, what's wrong with her?" Dong Shuzhen asked immediately, her voice even trembling.

"Miss... was robbed by bandits on Mount Lu!" the state soldier said intermittently.

"what!"

Dong Shuzhen was shocked, her eyes widened with disbelief, worry, and of course deep fear.

Lushan is a large mountain south of Jiangzhou City, stretching for hundreds of miles and close to Poyang Lake.

Mount Lu is rich in products and has many wild animals.

When Jiangzhou was hit by the plague half a month ago, it faced a crisis of shortage of medicine. Later, the doctors in the city organized a group to go to the mountain to dig for medicine. The mountain they climbed was Lushan Mountain.

In the past, the old beggar took Dong Shuzhen up the mountain to hunt rabbits and roast rabbit meat, which was also the case in Mount Lu.Because Lushan is really a treasure house of nature, with everything from medicinal materials to prey.

However, in some places on Mount Lu, the terrain is extremely complicated.

Once the mountain becomes complex, it will easily breed bandits.
