Chapter 307 Luo Minsheng's Past
Chu Hongtian was shocked and shouted loudly, "Grain seeds appeared?"
Twenty days ago, Wang Yangzhong reported the news of grain seeds that could produce 10,000 kilograms per mu to the court. Emperor Cangwu did not spread it, but several of his confidants knew about it.
At that time, Chu Hongtian and the others didn't believe it at all, and Emperor Cangwu didn't believe it either. They just let Wang Yangzhong do whatever he wanted as there was no loss.
Wang Yangzhong smiled, with a hint of pride between his brows, "To be honest with you, sir, I have grain seeds that can produce 1,000 kilograms per mu."
As the words fell, there were gasps from all around.
Chu Hongtian felt something was wrong. He turned around and saw that Nan Xiao and Xi Hu's people were standing behind him without him noticing. There were still looks of surprise on their faces, and it was obvious that they had heard every word they said.
Chu Hongtian’s eyes widened.
"Hey! You shameless people, you actually eavesdropped!"
His heart and eyes were completely immersed in what Wang Yangzhong said, and his mind was still imagining what another time and space would be like. Just a moment of distraction gave others an opportunity to take advantage of him.
Terrible!
The officials of Nan Xiao and Xi Hu heard what they wanted to hear. Facing Chu Hongtian's scolding, they were not annoyed at all and even smiled.
"We just happened to get up and pass by here."
Chu Hongtian wanted to say something else.
Xu Chenzhou interrupted calmly: "Please make way, we are going to have dinner."
Nan Xiaoren/Xi Huren bowed politely and returned to his seat.
Ling Yi and Ling Er came with delicious food.
Chu Hongtian was angry, "Why did Prime Minister Xu just brush it off?"
Xu Chenzhou drank a sip of warm water slowly and calmly. "It's just a few insignificant words. We didn't suffer any loss, so why should we care about it?"
Besides, this kind of thing can't be kept secret.
Maybe when the grain is grown in the future, I can sell it to Nan Xiao and Xi Hu at a high price.
Chu Hongtian smelled the aroma of the food and his appetite grew. He swallowed his saliva and didn't want to care about it anymore.
He casually said, "Lord Xu, I'll do as I please. You can do as you please." Then he couldn't wait to pick up the chopsticks and picked up a large piece of braised pork with fat and lean meat, and inhaled it quickly.
"Fragrant! So fragrant! Fatty but not greasy, so delicious!"
Chu Hongtian felt like he was floating in the air, as if his soul had been sublimated.
The other three were fine and didn't show their emotions so openly, but from the shadows of the chopsticks that kept flashing by, it was clear that they were also conquered by the food at the B&B.
In a quarter of an hour, the four grown men finished cooking all the eight or nine dishes on the table.
Chu Hongtian touched his round belly with a satisfied look on his face.
"What I ate before was bran. This tastes better than the one at the palace banquet."
"Master Xu, I don't want to leave anymore."
Xu Chenzhou: "Lord Chu, just write a letter of resignation and submit it to the heaven."
Chu Hongtian: ... Isn't this going to kill him? He is still young and can still go to the battlefield.
His eyes rolled, "Lord Wang, what do you think of Lord Cheng being transferred to the capital?"
Wang Yangzhong laughed dryly, "I cannot make a decision for you, Lord Cheng."
Chu Hongtian was just saying it casually. After all, he didn't have the power to transfer a small general to the capital without any merit.
Everyone sat for a while to digest the food.
Xu Chenzhou stood up and said, "Let's go to the library."
Chu Hongtian and others followed closely behind.
Seeing them leave, Nan Xiao and Xi Hu looked at each other and slowly followed them.
Hearing the noise behind him, Chu Hongtian became furious: "Bah, shameless."
Luo Minsheng put his hands in his sleeves, calm and composed, and said slowly: "Why are you in such a hurry? We already have the grain, at least a long way ahead of them. The angrier you are, the happier they are. I'm not saying anything bad about you, but you haven't learned to hide your emotions at your age."
Chu Hongtian sneered, "I'm not like you scholars who have many schemes. I always speak my mind and never scheme against others with evil intentions."
Luo Minsheng spread his hands, "Smart people are like this, only stupid people will reveal their true colors and think they are true to their nature."
Chu Hongtian was furious, "Luo Minmin, are you sick?"
Luo Minsheng's face changed, "Why don't you try to yell again?!"
Seeing that the battle was about to break out, Xu Chenzhou coughed lightly, "Master Chu, Master Luo, we have arrived at the library."
Chu Hongtian and Luo Minsheng snorted coldly, without looking at each other, and strode into the library.
Just then, a group of people passed by them. When they heard the name "Luo Minmin", they reflexively looked back.
One of the young men in blue asked, "What's wrong?"
Young man in blue: "Do you remember the story I told you last time?"
"What story? Luo Minmin's counterattack? You don't mean to say it's the one just now, do you?" The young man in blue raised his eyebrows, "Isn't that fake?"
The young man in blue was waving his folding fan, smiling mysteriously without saying a word.
The other companions were confused, "What counterattack story? Tell us about it."
Seeing their curiosity, the young man in blue clothes explained, "It is said that Beilu Yong'an Hou's original name was Luo Minmin. This name sounds like a girl's. A fat boy was given a girl's name. The children in the village don't have the correct cognition. They only know that it is wrong for a boy to be named a girl. They feel ashamed."
"For this reason, no one wanted to play with Yong'an Hou. Not only that, every time they saw Yong'an Hou, they would pull down his pants, laugh at him and insult him, asking him why he was called by a girl's name when he was obviously a man."
Everyone frowned when they heard this, "This..."
If you think about it carefully, there doesn't seem to be any clear rule about which characters are used for boys and which are used for girls.
The young man in blue clothes said: "Poor Yong'an Marquis, he grew up in ridicule and mockery. He also defended himself before. The word "min" means quick and quick reaction, which means smart and hardworking. It can be seen that his family has high hopes for him."
"But when a person is ridiculed day after day, and he is still a child, he cannot bear such criticism at all."
Everyone nodded in agreement, "Not to mention the children, even we adults can't do it."
The young man in blue sighed, "Yes, and this has seriously affected Luo Minmin's living and traveling. He couldn't bear it anymore. He knelt down and begged his parents to change his name, but his parents and family elders were unwilling. They thought it was just a joke between children, how could it be so serious."
Everyone: "But the child has his own self-esteem. He has tried to resist and even accepted it, but what he got in return was even more insulting."
The young man in blue lowered his eyes slightly and stepped on a small stone. "Perhaps it's God's will that Luo Minmin looks more and more like a girl as she grows up. She stays at home all year round, her skin is as white as tofu, and she looks pretty."
"One day, a group of strangers came to the village. They were said to be distant relatives of a family. Their family was in trouble and they came to seek refuge. There was a second-rate guy there who did not work all day and wandered around the village. He accidentally ran into a group of children talking about Luo Minmin, saying that he was prettier than the little girl."
“He then had different ideas.”
