Zhu Chengjun shook his head: "I won't eat it."

Xinping said strangely: "Didn't you like eating candied haws the most before? Why don't you eat them?"

Zhu Chengjun was about to say something, but suddenly stopped again, looked at his father and mother, then smiled embarrassedly, scratched the back of his head and said, "This... can be eaten often, so it's not rare."

"oh!"

Xinping immediately understood and pointed at him and said, "You carry me to eat!"

Zhu Chengjun said: "Okay, I'm not carrying you on my back to eat. You're gone, what's wrong with me going to eat by myself?"

The two were still clamoring, and Zhu Feng and Nanyan on the side had already understood. Nanyan reached out and twisted Zhu Chengjun and said, "What did you say before leaving? Let you be obedient. Have you eaten candied haws as your meal?"

Zhu Chengjun said with a bitter face: "Mother, my son knows that he is wrong."

"If you know if you are wrong, it's over? Do you know that eating too much candy will cause damage to your teeth?"

"I know that the prince's brother has already trained me."

"Your prince is now in charge of the affairs of the capital and most of the world. When you go home, your little nephew is still there. Why are you so worried about it?"

"Don't scold my mother, my son really knows that he is wrong."

Zhu Feng, who was beside him, shook his head helplessly.

You can guess that this child was not raised in the palace, but asked him to go to the military camp to experience it. Other things were fine, but no one cares about him when eating. He should have asked the people below to buy whatever he wanted. And this time, Concubine Yi followed them away again, and no one looked at him, afraid that he would really use candied haws as food.

That's why I'm tired of eating and now I don't want to eat a bite anymore.

He said, "You have grown up now, so I and your mother can keep you in the capital with confidence, but how can you be so uncontrollable?"

“…”

"Things like a desire for a moment are just for the pleasure of a moment, just like people in the snow taking millets to lead birds into traps in winter. Would you like those caught birds?"

“…”

"If you want to be a better person, you have to overcome these desires and control yourself. Do you understand?"

Although he said few words, he was loud and loud, and Zhu Chengjun was shocked when he heard it.

These days, he not only practiced martial arts in the army, but also learned military tactics. When Zhu Feng heard that birds were led into the trap by millet in the snow, he felt as if he saw himself leading his troops into the enemy's encirclement.

He frowned and said, "My son understand."

Zhu Feng nodded and said to Nan Yan again: "Okay, he knows he is wrong, so stop scolding him."

Nan Yan looked at her youngest son with a sad look and said nothing more, for fear that if the trouble continued, the child would be cursed by them and would not have the appetite to eat. So he said, "Okay, okay, eat quickly, the food will be cold in a while."

Everyone picked up the dishes and chopsticks, and only then did they realize that they were sitting aside, staring at the candied haws in their hands and stopped moving.

Nan Yan said: "What's wrong with you? Are you stupid?"

Xinping stared at the candied haws, slowly looked up at Zhu Feng, and suddenly said, "I understand!"

Everyone was a little surprised, Zhu Feng said, "What do you understand?"

Xinping said: "I have always been wondering why my father asked us to bring so much food to the country of Yue every year, but they are still short of food now, and even in the army can only eat two meals a day. I understand now."

Zhu Feng said: "Oh? Tell me why."

Xinping said: "Because they were wasting!"

Zhu Feng and Nanyan immediately looked at each other.

Xinping said: "Just like this candied haws. When the father and mother took care of the son-in-law and the younger brother, we were both like treasures. We were so happy if we could eat them once. However, the father and mother took the son-in-law to leave the capital and the younger brother stayed alone. He would eat the candied haws at will, but he would not cherish them."

“…”

"The same is true for the people of Yue. In the past, they lacked food, so they cherished food very much. But over the years, the father has sent them so much food every year, and they have eaten more, so naturally they don't want to pay so much attention to food in the past and start to waste it at will. Anyway, the father has to send it to them every year. But this time, we don't give it to them, but because they waste too much and have no grain storage, there is not enough food now."

As she said that, she came to Zhu Feng's side: "Is the son-in-law right?"

“…”

Zhu Feng didn't speak immediately, just looked down at her.

There was a smile in my eyes slowly.

Although Nan Yan was silent on the side, he had a look of surprise on his face.

I am a little unbelievable. This daughter, who has never known the taste of sorrow and cannot gain much memory even if she suffers losses. This time, she has figured out the incident in Yueguo through such a small thing.

This kid is enlightened!

Nan Yan smiled and rubbed her hair: "Yeah, it's not bad."

Hearing his mother say this, Xinping immediately realized that she was right, but she still stubbornly grabbed Zhu Feng's arm and shook it: "Father!"

Zhu Feng knew that she must get her affirmation.

So he smiled, stretched out his finger and pointed her forehead, and said with a smile: "It's worthy of being my daughter, it's true that it's all right."

Xinping immediately laughed happily.

Zhu Chengjun, who was sitting beside her, blinked, as if he was completely out of the situation, but he still keenly captured a few words in his sister's words and immediately said: "Father, is the country of Yue short of food?"

Zhu Feng's smile became deeper and he said, "Your ears are the president, I heard this as soon as you hear it."

Zhu Chengjun's face turned red, which was what he looked like when he was extremely excited. He couldn't help but stand up and say, "If Yue Kingdom lacks food, then--"

However, before he could finish his words, Zhu Feng waved his hand, signaled him to sit down, and then said, "Eat a good meal, this is not the time to discuss Yueguo."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Chengjun could only suppress his excitement and sat back.

Nan Yan, who was very happy about his calmness, saw the appearance of his younger son and Zhu Feng's appearance that had been arranged, the little uneasy haze in his heart became heavier. But at this time, Zhu Feng had already picked up the bowls and chopsticks and said, "Okay, I'll say anything after I finish my meal."
