Chapter 33: The Thick and Black High Theory

  The old man's face changed, his hands shook, and he stared at me in disbelief. It seemed that his own son had suddenly become a prodigy? The shock was no less than a nuclear bomb exploding in front of the old man, but judging from his posture, it looked more like he wanted to whip me.

  Cold sweat gushed out, why are you staring at me? Although I'm handsome, but if you keep looking at me like this, I won't be able to take it. After a long time, he swallowed his bones. "Nonsense...I just said that Jin Taizu was a master of thick and dark tactics, hurry up and eat, don't talk with your mouth full." He seriously wiped the oil from the corner of his mouth and used a piece of braised meat to stuff Little Li's mouth shut.

  "Thick and dark famous family?..." Big brother blinked his eyes at me, didn't ask me anything, but it's clear that big brother is a man with a strong interest in historical issues and gossip.

  "After you've eaten, you'll tell me, right?... Li Zhi made a great effort to swallow the sauce meat and continued to look at me with great expectation. It's good to be studious, but can I explain the mess of that old thing Sima Zhao to you, a child whose IQ is not yet fully developed?"

  "Is it good or not? Brother Jun... " Li Zhi grabbed my robe with his greasy hands and pulled, his face thick-skinned. He's going to be the emperor, yet he's bullying us poor farmers? My new robe...

  "Alright, alright, I'll answer you on behalf of Jun'er first, eat quickly..." The old man finally couldn't bear it anymore and opened his mouth to help me out of the situation, feeling relieved.

  After a pot of fragrant tea, before I could even relax, the persistent Little Li had already squeezed over: "Now can you tell me why Han Gaozu is a famous thick and dark master?"

  "Hmm, okay, let's go..." Just as I was thinking of dragging this little classmate to my room and giving him a good beating to vent the anger from being splattered with oil earlier, the old man spoke up again: "Let's talk about it here, Jun'er...". The old man pointed under the table: "This thick-skinned rascal, I'm really curious..."

  The old man has spoken, and the whole family is quietly staring at me with their eyes wide open.

  "...To say that the Han Gaozu and Jin Taizu are masters of thick and dark...this...this is very impressive...". Nonsense, just to fool these old and young people.

  "Oh?..." The old man's interest was piqued, he sipped his tea and nodded for me to continue, stroking his beard.

  "Does everyone know what 'thick' means?" It's like being back in the future teaching in a classroom, very showy.

  Li Zhi quickly nodded: "I know, just like my sister said, Jun Ge's face is very thick..."

  It exploded, it really did! Old Master's tea water sprayed all over my face. Li Shu's face turned red like a monkey's butt, and he buried himself in my mom's arms, giggling uncontrollably. What does that mean? Am I shameless? Heaven and earth as witnesses, my skin is not even one-third as thick as yours, Big Sis!

  I can only look at the old man with a very pitiful gaze. What can I do, he's my dad and I'm his son, I don't even dare to make a sound when he hits me, let alone when he spits in my face, if I complain, it would be strange if the old man doesn't whip me with his shoe sole.

  Mom wanted to laugh, but felt it wasn't quite right to laugh at her own son. She looked at Li Fu's red face, who was staring honestly at his classmate Little Li, and then looked at me with a tragic expression, not knowing what to say, with a weird look on my face.

  Big brother has been holding back his laughter for a long time, looking at me with a very strange expression, and muttering to himself for half the day without knowing how to comfort me. Still, my brother...

  The green butterfly's face turned red, covering her mouth, with a strange expression, carrying the water pot and rushing out. Just as she reached the door, she was already leaning against the door, hugging her belly outside. This dead girl, go back and clean up after her.

  -

  "Thick... black... Could it be that Jun Er said 'thick face and black heart'?" As expected of my dad, after splashing a mouthful of tea water on his son, he knew to quickly help his son out of the situation, seeing how Old Master was trying to make amends.

  Quickly nodding: "At the time of Qin's demise, the world was in great chaos, peasant uprisings rose and fell, many were capable, such as Xiang Yu, Liu Bang, Han Xin... those with hearts blacker than ink, Xiang Yu still yielded to Liu Bang by a margin. Although Xiang Yu massacred the Qin troops..." A group of people listened, entranced, selling a thrilling story, savoring their tea and continuing the topic: "Speaking of thick-skinned..." Glaring at Li Shu who was secretly peeking out from behind her face, Li Shu didn't show weakness, glaring back at me, pulling on my mother's sleeve, hinting that I was bullying this weak woman again. Immediately, she got a slap on the forehead from mom.

  Let's just forget it and continue to expound on new theories: "...When it comes to Liu Bang, the ancestor of all thick-skinned and black-hearted people, no one can surpass him. From being a small official...to the end of the Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms period, when the world was in chaos and heroes emerged, among those who were considered heroes, Cao Cao should be the first to be mentioned. However, his specialty lies in his ruthless and black-hearted nature. Whoever he wanted to kill, even if it was one of his own subordinates, would be killed without hesitation, including emperors and princes...As for Liu Bei, throughout his life, how many times did he rely on others for survival? He had been with Cao Cao's forces, stayed with Lü Bu, and also hung out with Liu Biao...Who can compare to my greatness?"

  Two cups of tea went down, and I lectured for nearly an hour. Li Shu sat quietly beside her mother, her eyes shining brightly, not taking them off me. Every time I made a key point, Li Shu would furrow her brow in thought, as if she really understood. This little loli's intellectual development is still going strong...

  Li Zhi's little friend was in a daze, seemingly enlightened, but didn't know what he was enlightened about. On the other hand, his gaze towards Ben Shao became even more worshipful. Heh heh...

  The old man stroked his beard and nodded slightly, with a faint smile on his face. The elder brother patted me vigorously. "Second brother's words of thick and dark, indeed opened the eyes of the older brother, Sima father and son... can do what others cannot, indeed has something in common with the saying 'thick-faced and black-hearted'. And Han Gaozu Liu Bang is even more... unexpected... haha..." He was very pleased that his younger brother had finally made progress.

  Li Yu still frowned and looked puzzled, Li Zhi the little kid looked suddenly enlightened, but in fact both imperial relatives still had confusion in their eyes, it's obvious that our family members have different leadership abilities, no wonder they are from the Fang family bloodline, hahaha... stinky little kid, what is this guy doing? He crawled over and drooled all over me again.

  Finally returned, at the behest of my mother, sent these two royal relatives back to the imperial palace. Li Fu proposed walking, I expressed opposition, Li Zhi was a standard wall grass. Vote: Two to one, I lost... damn it, if I had known earlier, I should have let Green Butterfly or Zhong Gong Fang Cheng send these two stinky kids together, at least they could have drawn 2-2.

  With a melancholy mood, the road had walked halfway. "Really envy you have a good mother..." Li Yu raised his face, under the yellow light of the torch and the snow on the ground, the warm-colored beautiful face appeared in front of me, a faint fragrance was emanating from her body, her chest was trembling with the rhythm, I secretly swallowed my saliva, fortunately, she didn't notice.

  He hastily lowered his head in agreement: "En en..." and accidentally saw her feet again. Li Shu's feet were very small, probably around 30 cm or so, with a pair of small red boots leaving faint marks on the snowy ground.

  "I don't have a mother..." Li Yu suddenly blurted out this sentence, scaring me half to death. Has this little loli gone crazy?
