Chapter 1583: Sadness and emotion, sadness comes from it
The restaurant is an ordinary restaurant, and the dishes are all home-cooked dishes: roast chicken with mushrooms, roast lamb with green onions, stewed beef brisket with white radish, stir-fried pork, vermicelli, cabbage and pork, etc. The children couldn't help but salivate when they saw it, but they dared not to touch it. Someone "gulped" and swallowed his saliva.
Qiao Xuan felt pity for them and asked them to sit down with a smile: "Eat quickly! Eat while it's hot, otherwise it will be cold and not tasty anymore!"
Liu Fu thanked him, and the children followed suit, then they sat down to eat.
As soon as they started using their chopsticks and took in the delicious food, the children couldn't help but eat faster and soon most of the food on the table was finished.
He ate voraciously, but his actions did not make people feel rude or disgusted. Qiao Xuan was very soft-hearted and greeted him gently.
The atmosphere was much more gentle with Shao Yunduan and Zheng Sangge. After three rounds of dishes and a few glasses of wine, Wu Guan couldn't help crying. It took him a while to calm down. He wiped his tears and smiled at Shao Yunduan awkwardly: "I'm sorry to make you laugh, Brother Yunduan!"
These brothers have been in charge of so many people over the years, and everyone is struggling on the brink of death. They have to live one day at a time without a moment of relaxation or peace. Sitting together like this to eat a decent meal, drink a few glasses of wine, chat and laugh, it seems like a thing of the past lifetime.
I felt sad and emotional for a moment, and couldn't help feeling grief-stricken.
Shao Yunduan poured him another glass of wine and said with a smile, "There is nothing in this world that cannot be overcome. Since the imperial court has already known about this matter, they will definitely intervene. We will discuss it later."
Zheng Sangge frowned slightly and said, "I don't plan to have anything to do with the court anymore, and the same goes for those children. The court doesn't owe us anything. It's our own incompetence, so we can't blame others."
This is the truth.
Who doesn't feel this way after retiring from the battlefield?
In any case, they are still alive! Compared with those brothers who have died, they should be satisfied.
Although life is difficult, those children are growing up day by day. Everything will be fine when they grow older.
Things from the imperial court are not so easy to obtain.
I can't afford it.
He was even more afraid of getting involved in the fight between the princes and bringing about a devastating disaster.
Shao Yunduan secretly sighed, wondering how disappointed Zheng Sangge and the others must be with the imperial court to accept all this so calmly!
In the past, after they retired, they received pensions: 15 taels of silver for the disabled and 20 taels for the dead.
The money was not much, but if it all fell into the hands of everyone who deserved it, even if they started a small business, life would not be so difficult.
This kind of silver is the most coveted, and when it finally falls into their hands, each person would be lucky if he or she could get two or two taels!
Some people may not even get one or two.
Shao Yunduan's emotions were surging and complicated.
Ask yourself, is such a court worth serving?
What can the "merciful" prince change?
If Shao Yunduan was full of ambition to do something or change something before, then after repeated disappointments, big and small, he is no longer so confident.
He even didn't want to stay in the capital anymore.
Shao Yunduan smiled and said slowly: "I am not advising you to become an official or accept charity from the court. It is not impossible to save yourself! It is not the only way."
