Prince of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 188 The Big Man in Puzhou

After entering Puzhou City, Gao Ming immediately recruited a doctor to bandage Liu Bing's bones. After finishing the work, he let him rest in the inn alone, while he took the big man to the city to eat.

Gao Ming is a man who keeps his promises, since he promised the big man to treat him to eat sesame seed cakes, he will not break his promise. After leaving the inn, Gao Ming immediately found a place that sells sesame seed cakes, and bought fifty sesame seed cakes for him. big man.

"Here, here are fifty sesame seed cakes, don't worry now!"

The big man was holding a large pile of sesame seed cakes, his face was already smiling, and he nodded to Gao Ming repeatedly.

"I knew you were a good person. My mother said that when you meet a good person, you have to say thank you. Thank you, good person!"

"..."

Although Gao Ming hated others sending him a good person card, he still showed a reluctant smile in order to find out the secrets of the big man for himself.

"Big man, since I'm a good person, tell me, what's your last name? Who are the people in your family?"

Hearing Gao Ming's words, the big man immediately laughed.

"I don't know what my surname is. My mother calls me Huzi, and everyone else calls me a fool. My mother and I are the only ones at home. My mother said that in two years, when I have saved enough money, I will marry me a wife! "

Speaking of his daughter-in-law, Huzi suddenly showed a shy smile, and seeing this scene, Gao Ming also smiled.

"There is indeed a problem."

When he was outside the city at first, Huzi said that when his mother told him that offending the emperor and the crown prince was for the Yi tribe, Gao Ming became a little strange, because ordinary people did not have the concept of "Yi tribe".

After entering the city, Gao Ming heard from the city gate guards that Huzi's mother would beat him with a ruler, but according to Gao Ming's understanding, the ruler was used by the teacher of the private school, and most people would not have this thing.

This explains a problem, that is, there were scholars in Huzi's family, but the strange thing is that Huzi's mother didn't let him read and write, which made Gao Ming very curious.

Now that Huzi didn't even have a surname, Gao Ming was even more sure.

"Huzi's family background is definitely not simple!"

After thinking about these things, Gao Ming began to lure Huzi carefully.

"Huzi, you took so many pancakes, are you planning to go home and share them with your mother? If you go back like this, your mother may think you have done something bad. How about this? I will go back with you. I'll explain it to her sometime, and she won't beat you."

Hearing Gao Ming's words, Huzi froze for a moment, then nodded.

"You are right, then you can go back with me, you are not allowed to tell my mother that I beat your horse, or my mother will beat me."

"All right, all right, I promise not to say anything!"

Seeing that Gao Ming agreed, Hu Zi happily led the way.

Huzi's home is in the southernmost part of Pucheng, close to the city, surrounded by adobe and thatched houses. When passing a tree with a crooked neck, Huzi stopped suddenly, and then took out a set from the tree hole. Coarse clothes to put on.

After putting on the clothes, Hu Zi smiled at Gao Ming.

"My mother sewed this clothes for me. I was afraid that it would be damaged when I went hunting in the city, so I put it here. How about it? Doesn't it look good?"

Hearing his words, the corners of Gao Ming's eyes twitched twice.

Do you call that hunting?That's called horse racing!

But Gao Ming didn't say this in the end, because he knew that speaking out was playing the piano against the cow, so he forced a smile and nodded.

"Yeah, it looks good, let's go, you better go home soon, your mother will be hungry later."

Hearing Gao Ming's words, Hu Zi immediately nodded in sympathy.

"Yes, yes, then I'll go back quickly, or my mother will cry from hunger again. In the past, every time I came back late, my mother would cry from hunger!"

"..."

Gao Ming felt that Huzi's mother should not be crying from hunger, but was crying because of Huzi, a bastard.

Huzi obviously didn't know what Gao Ming was thinking, and he was still talking with great interest.

"My mother is good at everything, she loves to cry, she cries when she is happy, and she also cries when she is sad. This time she sees me bringing back so many sesame seed cakes, shouldn't she smile?"

"..."

Gao Ming couldn't complain anymore, he could only follow behind Huzi in silence, and didn't say a word no matter what he said.

After another cup of tea, Huzi suddenly stopped in front of a wooden door, and then grinned at Gao Ming.

"Here, this is my home!"

After finishing speaking, Huzi pushed open the door and yelled at the top of his voice.

"Mother, I'm back, mother, look that I'm back with a lot of biscuits, hehe!"

Amid Huzi's cry, a woman in her 50s came out of the house with a basin in her hand. She frowned when she saw the big pile of pancakes in Huzi's arms.

"Where did you get so many biscuits? Why don't you send them back soon, you bastard?"

Huzi was scolded as soon as he entered the door, and his mood suddenly became depressed. He shook his head and pointed at Gao Ming.

"No, this cake was given to me by him."

Hearing Huzi's words, she noticed Gao Ming standing at the door, looking at Gao Ming's silk and satin, a trace of vigilance flashed across her face.

"Master Liu, may I ask your nobleman..."

Before Gao Ming could speak, Huzi burst out laughing.

"Haha, mother, he is the prince. Just now he promised me not to destroy our three clans. Don't worry."

As soon as Huzi's words fell, Liu's eyes widened immediately, and the wooden basin in his hand fell to the ground with a "slap".

Seeing her shocked expression, Gao Ming immediately smiled at her.

"I have no malice towards you, so you don't have to panic."

With that said, Gao Ming stepped in and patted Huzi on the back.

"I bought the biscuits in Huzi's hand, so please don't blame him."

Hearing Gao Ming's words, Mrs. Liu came back to her senses, and quickly knelt down towards Gao Ming.

"The lady of the people pays homage to His Highness the Crown Prince, the dog is reckless, please don't blame the Highness the Crown Prince."

Seeing that Liu's etiquette is thorough and there is no disrespect, Gao Ming is even more sure that she is not simple, and immediately laughs.

"No need to be too polite, please get up quickly."

"Thank you, Your Royal Highness!"

After Liu Shi got up, Gao Ming nodded towards her.

"Actually, I have something to discuss with you this time."

As soon as Gao Ming finished speaking, Huzi's mother immediately lowered her head.

"Women can't bear the word 'negotiation', the prince just obeys orders!"

Mrs. Liu's attitude was very respectful. Seeing her like this, Gao Ming stopped being polite and nodded immediately.

"Okay, then I'll just say it straight. It's actually like this. I'm going to Jinzhou this time. Huzi and I are destined. I plan to give him a future. What do you think?"

As soon as Gao Ming finished speaking, Mrs. Liu was shocked again.

She was startled for a moment, then glanced at Hu Zi who was standing next to her, and immediately knelt down to Gao Ming again with a "plop".

"His Royal Highness, Huzi has a stubborn nature, and he may not be able to take on a big job."

Liu's refusal was obvious, and Gao Ming could see it too, but at this time he was not angry, but shook his head with a smile.

"As I said just now, I have no ill intentions towards you. I just need a guard by my side. Huzi is very brave and knows how to be filial to his mother. I think he meets my requirements. As for who his ancestors are, I don't know." Don't care!"

Hearing Gao Ming's words, Mrs. Liu trembled all over, and then looked at Gao Ming in disbelief.

Seeing Liu's shocked look, Gao Ming immediately confirmed his guess, so he laughed again.

"The past has passed, and now the Tang Dynasty is in a peaceful and prosperous age. Can't you tolerate your orphans and widows? If you don't want to, I will turn around and leave immediately. You can just pretend that I have never been here. Get up Bar!"

After hearing Gao Ming's words, Mrs. Liu stood up slowly, then pointed to the door and said to Hu Zi: "Hu Zi, you go and guard the door, because mother has something to say to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. "

"Oh!"

Hu Zi agreed and went out. After he went out, Mrs. Liu bowed slightly towards Gao Ming.

"If His Royal Highness doesn't mind, please come into the house with the woman!"

After finishing speaking, Mrs. Liu turned around and entered the room. Seeing this scene, Gao Ming touched his nose in embarrassment, and followed her in.

After entering the room, Mrs. Liu closed the door, then bent down and gave Gao Mingfu a blessing.

"Ms. Han Liu, the folk woman, has met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Hearing her words, Gao Ming frowned suddenly.

"Han Liu?"

Seeing Gao Ming's puzzled expression, Han Liushi nodded immediately.

"The woman's surname is Liu, and her deceased husband is Han Shi'e. Does His Royal Highness know this person?"

As soon as Han Liu's words fell, Gao Ming's eyeballs suddenly widened.

"Han Shie? The eldest son of the great general Han Qinhu in Shangzhu Kingdom of the Sui Dynasty?"

Seeing Gao Ming's surprised expression, Han Liushi nodded again.

"It seems that His Royal Highness knows about it, but that is already a thing of the past. Now the Han family has only one seedling left, and I hope His Highness treats him kindly. The women are willing to form grass rings in the next life to repay His Highness. Big favor!"

After finishing speaking, Han Liushi knelt down again, and Gao Ming quickly reached out to support her.

"At the beginning, everyone was their own master. There is nothing to say about this matter. From now on, I will treat Huzi as a brother. You can rest assured."

Speaking of this, Gao Ming thought about it, and then nodded towards Han Liushi.

"Well, how about you stay here first, and when Huzi and I come back from Jinzhou, how about picking you up to Chang'an?"

Hearing what Gao Ming said, Han Liushi nodded.

"Thank you, Your Royal Highness, so, the woman will go and tell that idiot a few words."

After finishing speaking, Han Liushi opened the door, called Hu Zi in, and shouted with a cold face.

"Huzi, kneel down to His Highness the Crown Prince!"

Huzi listened to his mother very much, and as soon as Han Liu's words fell, Huzi immediately knelt down towards Gao Ming with a "plop".

Seeing him kneeling down, Han Liushi nodded.

"Huzi, from today onwards, follow His Royal Highness. What His Royal Highness says is what Mother said. If His Highness tells you to die, you die, and if he lets you live, you live. Do you understand?"

"Mom, I know."

Seeing that Huzi immediately agreed in a low voice, Han Liushi turned around and bowed to Gao Ming for a blessing.

"The tiger son will be handed over to His Highness the Crown Prince. This son has been anonymous since he was a child, please His Highness the Crown Prince to give him a name!"

Hearing Han Liushi's words, Gao Ming was stunned again.

"Name?"

According to the rules of the Tang Dynasty, apart from the parents, only the master would name the slaves, so Gao Ming was a little dazed for a while, but when he saw Han Liushi's almost pleading eyes, he understood.

"Ms. Han Liu said that Huzi has no name and surname. She probably didn't want Huzi to be named Han. Now she wants me to give her a name. She wants to leave a talisman for her son!"

Thinking of this, Gao Ming took a deep breath and nodded towards Huzi.

"Then call me Li Hu."
