Ming Dynasty: I risked my life to teach the prince, the emperor begged me not to die

Chapter 371 Call Grandpa

On the fourth day of the New Year, Mrs. Wu had to go to work at Shuntian Express, and Chen Ce did not leave Xiaohua alone at home, but took him to visit some friends.

Qin Hong's mansion was located on Chengqingfang Street. When Chen Ce went in to visit, he found that there were several guests in Qin Hong's house, including the Grand Commander of the Five Military Commanderies, Duke Ying Zhang Mao, the two commanders of the Five Cities Military Command, Marquis Shouning Zhang Heling, Marquis Jianchang Zhang Yanling, and the Duke of Xinning Tan You, the son-in-law of the emperor.

Without exception, all the people who came were military generals.

After the beginning of spring this year, the imperial court had to make a financial budget. These military generals naturally wanted to get more budget for their own offices, and they naturally had to establish a good relationship with the Minister of Revenue.

Seeing so many guests, Chen Ce wanted to leave.

Qin Hong called Chen Ce and took this opportunity to introduce Chen Ce to this group of generals.

Zhang Mao and Tan You both brought their little grandchildren with them, as a New Year's visit so as not to make their purpose too obvious.

The Zhang brothers didn't care about that and came to Qin Hong openly to increase the financial budget.

Zhang Lun and Tan Simin were playing in the yard. Chen Ce didn't want to bring Xiaohua in, so he let Xiaohua and the two kids of similar age play together in front of the yard.

When Zhang Yanling saw Chen Ce, he said bluntly: "Chen Ce, aren't you from the Eastern Palace? Are you here to ask for money too?"

Chen Ce: “…”

The atmosphere was a bit awkward, and Qin Hong hurriedly introduced Chen Ce to Zhang Mao and Tan You.

Zhang Mao nodded, slapped Chen Ce on the shoulder with his palm like a palm leaf fan, and said, "Not bad!"

"At such a young age, he is already serving in the East Palace. He has a bright future ahead of him."

Chen Ce coughed repeatedly after being slapped. Qin Hong was frightened and said hurriedly that Chen Ce was ill and could not withstand Zhang Mao's slap.

Zhang Mao said with a smile: "You are so young, but your body is so weak. That won't do. Come to my Five Military Commander's Office someday to train your body, and all diseases will be cured."

"You are so weak and effeminate like a woman. What's wrong with that? A man should behave like a man. Don't be like those useless civil servants in the court."

Qin Hong's face darkened after hearing this.

Chen Ce also smiled awkwardly and said, "Thank you very much for the advice, Duke Ying. I will keep it in mind."

Zhang Mao said without hesitation: "Okay, come to my Five Army Commandery in the spring and I'll train you for a year. I guarantee you'll be more manly!"

You took it seriously.

Chen Ce smiled bitterly and said, "I don't have the talent for martial arts. Thank you, Duke Ying, for your cultivation."

Zhang Mao looked disdainful and said, "You youngsters are just fakes. You just can't stand the slightest hardship."

……

"Hahaha, your brother was scolded by my grandfather!"

"In this Peking, there is no one who is not afraid of my grandfather. My grandfather is the most powerful!"

"Yes, yes, you are a little woman, and your brother is a big woman."

Outside the yard, the two children, Zhang Lun and Tan Simin, spoke to Xiaohua heartlessly. The two little boys were playing in the snow together, keeping a certain distance from Xiaohua.

The two little guys were rolling snowballs and pretending to throw them at Xiaohua.

It can be seen that the two little guys are used to a life of luxury and are also used to bullying the servants at home.

Xiaohua snorted, "No way! My brother is the best."

“My brother can read!”

Zhang Lun said: "My grandfather can also read!"

Xiaohua said: "My brother's handwriting is beautiful."

Zhang Lun hummed: "My grandfather's handwriting is also beautiful!"

Xiaohua said calmly: "My brother dares to call you grandpa grandpa!"

Zhang Lun pinched his waist and said arrogantly: "How dare my grandfather call your brother grandpa twice!"

Xiaohua pouted: "You are just bragging! You are not a man, you are also a little woman!"

Zhang Lun got anxious and said, "I'm not bragging!"

Tan Simin also shouted: "Brother Zhang Lun never brags!" "Let's go find Grandpa Zhang!"

"Look, Brother Zhang Lun is just bragging! Brother Zhang Lun is a great hero, a real man!"

The two little guys ran in hurriedly with their short legs, and Xiaohua followed them into the middle hall.

Zhang Lun pulled Zhang Mao and said, "Grandpa! That little girl said her brother dared to call you grandpa!"

Zhang Mao stroked his beard and smiled, "Why not? His brother should really call me grandpa, don't you think?"

Chen Ce glared at Xiao Hua fiercely, not knowing what this little girl was doing, and said quickly: "Yes, yes, considering my age, I should call Duke Yingguo grandpa."

Xiao Hua smiled at Zhang Lun and said, "Look! I told you that my brother dared to call you grandpa."

Zhang Lun pinched his waist and said arrogantly: "Grandpa, I said you are better than his brother. You are the best in all of Beiping!"

Zhang Mao laughed: "Almost the same."

Zhang Lun snorted, "Grandpa, call him Grandpa twice! I told you that you dare to call him Grandpa twice, but this little girl still refused to accept it and accused me of bragging."

Zhang Mao was smiling, but his face froze instantly.

Tan Simin shouted, "Grandpa Zhang! You should call him grandpa, or some girls will think that Zhang Lun is a boaster!"

"Brother Zhang Lun is not a boaster!"

Zhang Mao: “…”

Nima!

You two little bastards, your brains are not even as good as that of a little girl. Look, she’s not even older than you. Are you fucking idiots?

Zhang Mao's face twitched violently.

Seeing that Zhang Mao didn't speak for a long time, Zhang Lun became anxious and pulled Zhang Mao's sleeve and cried, "Grandpa, Grandpa! I don't want to be a boaster. I am a great hero and a real man!"

"Call her brother grandpa, call her grandpa twice, hurry up!"

"I want to let her know that I, Zhang Lun, am not a boaster!"

Zhang Mao grabbed Zhang Lun's ears and yelled, "Bullshit!"

Zhang Lun yelled, "Grandpa, please call her brother Grandpa, please call him Grandpa!"

puff!

Ha ha ha ha--

The Zhang brothers finally couldn't help laughing out loud, pointing at Zhang Mao and saying, "Duke Yingguo, Duke Yingguo, you grandson... you're not wrong!"

“Hurry up and call, otherwise your little grandson will be a braggart, hahahaha!”

Qin Hong: “…”

Tan You: “…”

Sin ah.

Chen Ce glared at Xiao Hua fiercely and said to Zhang Mao awkwardly, "Duke, it's just a joke from a kid, don't take it seriously."

Zhang Lun snorted, "Who is a kid? Who is joking?! I'm not joking! My grandfather once told me that a real man should stick his tongue out!"

"Grandpa, call him grandpa twice, let them know that the sons of our Zhang family are all real men!"

Chen Ce quickly bowed to Qin Hong and the others and said goodbye, "I have something else to do, so I'll leave first. Happy New Year."

After saying that, he awkwardly pulled Xiaohua and walked out.

Xiao Hua made a face and said to Zhang Lun, "You are just bragging!"

Zhang Lun was so anxious that he jumped up and down: "Grandpa, please call him grandpa twice, they are all leaving. Aaaaaa, grandpa, why are you hitting me?"

Outside the Qin Mansion, Chen Ce asked sternly, "Who told you to bully the Zhang family's grandson?"

Xiao Hua said as a matter of course: "His grandfather bullied you first, and he wants to bully me too! I will help you get revenge!"
