Chapter 346: Strange (2)(2/2)
At this moment, the owner of the mutton stall suddenly came over, holding a plate of fried haggis and said with a smile, "Guys, this is a gift from the old man, please try it!"
"Thank you!" Zhu Yunxi smiled, and suddenly his eyes fell on the other person's hand. The boss's right hand was missing a few fingers.
Guard Deng Ping's eyes shrank and his expression became sharp, "Knife wound!"
"Oh!" The boss quickly retracted his hand and said, "I'm not a bad person. I injured my hand when I followed the emperor to conquer Goryeo!"
Zhu Yunxi glanced at Deng Ping and smiled at the boss, "So you are still an old soldier, and your accent sounds like you are from Huai? Why are you doing small business in the capital? Are you no longer a soldier?"
"I'm from Huai'an. I injured my hand in the war. The superior officer gave me a pension, so I retired from the army!" The boss laughed, "I have a few acres of land at home, but farming is just for food and clothing, so I brought my mother-in-law here.
I came to the capital to do small business." He said with a smile, "Don't be afraid of the jokes of some scholars. Although doing small business is hard, it is better than farming!"
"You are quite clever!" Zhu Yunxi said with a smile, "Then your child will follow you to the capital!"
"I have a son who lives with his elders in his hometown!" the boss said with a smile.
"Why don't you take it with you!"
"You want to study. My child is good at studying!" the boss said with a simple smile, "The teacher said it was a reading material, so I put it in my hometown school!" He said, sighing, "Studying costs money, if not
I work in small businesses from dawn to dusk, and I really can’t afford to make a living by farming! I have been a soldier for more than ten years, and I have no prospects at all. In the future, I hope that my children will be able to shine!"
While they were talking, Zhu Yunxi caught a glimpse of several guards approaching slowly from the corner of his eye. It seemed that he had been delayed outside for a long time, and the palace was no longer at ease.
"Deng Ping, let's settle the accounts!" Zhu Yunxi stood up.
"No way, no way!" the man laughed, "I've already given you money, how can I give you more!"
