Thank you for the invitation. I am in the Ming Dynasty and swear not to be an official!

Chapter 11

At dusk, Liao Tiancheng covered a floor tile in the room, stepped on it, and sprinkled some loess. After seeing that it was no different from the surrounding bricks, he stood up.

After wiping his sweat, Liao Tiancheng smiled.

"Since you have decided not to live in that house, the deed is naturally useless. But after all, this thing was given by Emperor Zhu. If you throw it away directly, or if you lose it, it will be troublesome if you are questioned in the future! Simply bury it underground, and everything will be fine !”

After patting the dust on his hands, Liao Tiancheng prepared to go to the street for a good meal.

The four gold ingots awarded by the imperial court are still placed in the box. Now that the conditions are right, they can be extravagant.

But just as he arrived at the gate, he saw a familiar person walking from a distance.

"Old man? Why are you here again?"

I come here three times a day, which is faster than my parents!

Zhu Yuanzhang put his hands behind his hands and smiled: "Tiancheng, are you going out?"

"Yes, old man, I plan to go out to eat something good! Just in time, let's go together? I'll treat you!"

Liao Tiancheng made a move to leave, but was held down by Zhu Yuanzhang's big futon hand: "Have you brought the house deed? Let's go to your new home to eat and celebrate your move to your new home!"

Liao Tiancheng was embarrassed for a while: "Old man, don't you need this? I've taken over the house, but there's no need to live in it, right?"

"Can't help it, that's looking down on the emperor's reward. If you blame someone from above, you can't afford it, and you have to implicate me! I've worked hard to seek rewards for you, you won't have the heart to harm me, right?"

Why does this sound so much like a workplace PUA?
Liao Tiancheng was very distressed, but since the words came to this, it was really hard to refuse.

Although this old man is not his leader, his hidden identity is most likely the commander of the Jin Yiwei.

If you offend Jin Yiwei, will there be any good consequences?

Without much thought, Liao Tiancheng directly chose to compromise.

"Okay, uncle, please wait for me for a while, I'll go get the house deed right now!"

Zhu Yuanzhang waited outside for a while, but he didn't come out, so he sneaked into the house again.

Looking around, I saw Liao Tiancheng kneeling on the ground, digging hard at the floor with a hoe.

"Tiancheng, what are you doing?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was very curious.

"You're not the one who got the house deed? What are you doing digging into your own house?"

"Old man, to tell you the truth, the deed to the house is buried underneath."

Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned: "It wasn't the Ministry of Household Affairs that gave you a new house lease, how could you go underground?"

"This... I actually buried it myself."

Zhu Yuanzhang understood his thoughts instantly, and suddenly felt a stomach cramp in anger.

"You bastard! After all, this is our...our emperor's wish. If you can't help it, why don't you bury it? Do you know how the emperor would feel if he knew it?"

Liao Tiancheng raised his head and glanced at him, a little worried: "Maybe he will be even more angry than the old man!"

"How dare you bury it after knowing it? Dig it out quickly and move with me!"

Under Zhu Yuanzhang's strong aura, Liao Tiancheng felt like a child who had done something wrong. He could only speed up the digging out of the house deeds without any resistance. He hurried to Yang Xian Mansion with Zhu Yuanzhang holding four gold ingots and certificates. superior.

At this time, several eunuchs were hanging plaques at the door. When they saw Zhu Yuanzhang coming, some uninformed young eunuchs saluted.

"Your Majesty..." "Shut up! Your Majesty asked you to change the plaque, why are you still not ready yet? Hurry up!"

Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly scolded, which not only made the eunuchs dare not say anything, but also successfully deceived Liao Tiancheng.

When Liao Tiancheng saw his operation, he secretly admired it.

Eunuchs are people close to the emperor. Who dares to scold eunuchs like this?
This old man is indeed of noble status!
At this moment, Liao Tiancheng confirmed that he was indeed hugging a thick leg.

Yang Xian's house is indeed big and impressive!
It is now the tenth year of Hongwu, and more than seven years have passed since Yang Xian's fall. No one has taken care of it for many years, and the weeds are taller than the people. However, you can still see the pavilions, pavilions, and jade railings everywhere. column.

Any wooden pillar has a diameter of about three feet, and such a piece of wood can buy the dilapidated courtyard where Liao Tiancheng lived before.

Zhu Yuanzhang was strong and strong. He pulled out a big piece of grass and knocked it in front of him, stepping on it to create a path. For no other reason than to prove to Liao Tiancheng that people could live here.

But when they passed Zhaobi, a five- to six-foot-long snake unexpectedly fell from the tree behind them. Liao Tiancheng could no longer withstand the pressure and directly pulled Zhu Yuanzhang and ran away.

The two of them ran outside, looking embarrassed, and stared at the eunuchs who had just hung up the plaque.

"Old man, you saw that there is something in this house that doesn't want me to live in it! This is God's will! I think let's forget about it."

Liao Tiancheng knew that people these days pay attention to secret messages, and wanted to use this to change Lao Zhu's mind. However, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the fingerprints on his arm, dazed, and felt a surge in his heart.

How many years has it been since I encountered danger? How many years has it been since I was protected like this!

When the big snake came out just now, Liao Tiancheng grabbed him behind him and pushed him all the way out!
At that time, Liao Tiancheng had obviously disregarded his own safety.

"Tiancheng! Aren't you afraid of death? We are neither relatives nor friends. We have only met a few times. Why would you risk your life to save me like this?"

Zhu Yuanzhang did not respond to Liao Tiancheng's question, but asked the question that he was most concerned about now.

"what?"

Liao Tiancheng was stunned for a moment and laughed dumbly.

"Respecting the old and loving the young, isn't this the traditional virtue of our Chinese children? Besides, who doesn't have a father and mother? Today I saved my old man, and tomorrow someone will save my father and mother... I am an exception. I have no father for a long time. Damn it! But it makes sense."

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled happily, and slapped him hard with his big futon hand: "Tiancheng, you are a good boy! Your parents are not here, from now on, we..."

At the critical moment, Zhu Yuanzhang got stuck.

He really wanted to say, from now on I will be your father, and I can be your adoptive father.

But suddenly I remembered that, firstly, this would ruin their friendship as gentlemen, and secondly, since they both recognized their adopted son, why shouldn't they reveal their identity?

After thinking about it, forget it.

"Tiancheng, although your parents are gone, if you have something to do in the future, we can make decisions for you and take care of you for your parents!"

Zhu Yuanzhang's voice was low and very sincere.

Liao Tiancheng felt warm in his heart and suddenly choked up.

In this big tomorrow, I am a poor boy. After meeting this old man, everything has changed drastically!

Even now I feel the long-lost family affection!
"Thank you, old man!"

Liao Tiancheng bowed as a junior, and Zhu Yuanzhang accepted it calmly.

From this moment on, in addition to the friendship between gentlemen, there was an unspoken but real affection between them.
