Chapter 193 Melon God Eating Melons in Ancient Times
Daju: [No one can make me laugh now. ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [I just heard that the current emperor of Dongchang has three nipples.]
Daju: [Pfft, three nipples? Men have three nipples? ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Look, a melon can get you down. It means you are not particularly sad! ]
Daju: [Three nipples, arranged in a triangle or in a line? ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [It is said that they are on the same line. According to the physiognomy book, such people are gifted. No wonder Dongchang State is thriving! ]
Daju: [If I were to sleep with him, would you want to laugh? ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [If you want to know, why don’t you go to Dongchang Country and listen to what is going on? ]
Daju: [It’s too far. I won’t go.]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Several wealthy families in Xijing evacuated Xijing overnight. There were still a lot of valuables in their houses. They were targeted by a few hooligans.]
Daju: [How dare they take this kind of wealth? All the land belongs to the king, right? Shouldn't it all belong to the court? ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [So they are about to be in trouble.]
Daju: [Those who take advantage of others’ misfortunes will not have a good ending. ]
The onlookers: The right thing to do is to make money and support your family in an honest way.
The hooligans in the crowd: Who are you trying to scare? Everyone is gone, who knows what is missing?
Tian Xiaoxiao: [I wonder if Nangong Rui sent people to search the house? ]
Daju: [He must have gotten the news a long time ago. The property lists of those ministers were placed on the prince's desk a few days ago. If any blade of grass or tree is missing, they can be found.]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [The national treasury is very poor now! ]
Daju: [The seized property must be returned to the national treasury. How much money has been taken away by Prince Li, the eldest princess, the queen, and the Minister of Revenue in the past ten years? Nangong Rui has taken over a mess. ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [No, can't Nangong Rui use the gold mines of the previous dynasty? ]
Daju: [The Mingning Kingdom has money, but the money is not in the treasury. Punish those corrupt officials and deal with the big borers in Xijing, and the money will come back. ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [It depends on what means Nangong Rui will use to deal with the corruption. Corruption must be punished collectively, or it must be a serious crime to eradicate it.]
Daju: [I think you have a lot of ideas, you can give Nangong Rui some advice.]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Forget it. I could have just laid back and let my life go to waste, but I had to find a burden to shoulder. I was stupid in my last life, but I am not stupid in this one.]
Daju: [You don’t want to work hard, but don’t your parents still have to work hard? ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Yes, they wanted me to lie down better, and the time and energy they put in were incomparable to that of ordinary people.]
Daju: Has this little head finally figured it out?
Daju: [That's right! You should work hard on your cultivation, eat more melons, and do more good deeds, so your mother and the others will have to work less.]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [My intuition tells me that I seem to have been cheated! ]
Daju: [Where is it? Where is the person who cheated you? ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Far away in the horizon, yet so close at hand! You keep asking me to assist Nangong Rui, is there a conspiracy? ]
Daju: [Why didn’t I see it? ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Humph, you know the truth but you pretend to be ignorant. That person is you! ]
Big Orange: [I am a little Birch, little Birch, I am not a human! ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Let's change the subject. I'm still young and don't want to be so fussy. I'll talk about this when I grow up and think it through.]
Daju: Lord God, did you hear me? Is it because I didn't work hard enough? Is it because I didn't lure her in?
It’s all because the real owner is too clear-headed.
Daju: [Just continue eating the melon you got over there.]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [When I woke up this morning, I heard two butterflies by the window saying that there was a person in Ningguo who had a very miserable life. Do you know what was written on his epitaph? ]
Daju: [How miserable is it? Epitaph? Has he passed away?]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [I will give you his epitaph: He first studied literature, but failed for three years; later he studied martial arts, shot an arrow in the training ground, hit the drummer, and was chased out; then he studied medicine and achieved some success. He composed a good prescription, took it, and died.]
Daju: [Speaking human language, I don’t understand! ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Illiterate! ]
Daju: [I haven’t read classical Chinese.]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [He studied literature at first, but failed the exam for three years; then he studied martial arts, and shot an arrow in the training ground, killing the drummer who was beating the drum nearby. He was driven out; then he studied medicine, and achieved some success. He wrote a good prescription, took the medicine according to the prescription, and killed himself.]
Daju: [This is a great guy! ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [This is an ordinary person's miserable life! ]
Crowd Eating A: There are all kinds of people in this world.
Crowd-eater B: It sounds like you are talking about my uncle. This is the epitaph engraved on his tombstone. Is it really like this?
Daju: [I ate a melon last night. ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [If you don’t share the gossip, be careful that crows will shit on your head. ]
Daju: [What do you mean when a crow poops on my head? ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Bad luck continues! ]
Daju: [You cursed me? ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Eat the melon quickly.]
Daju: [The daughter of the Minister of Revenue is not his biological daughter. When his family fled last night, they did not take her with them.]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [What did this girl do that no one thought of helping her in times of crisis? ]
Daju: [Husband and wife are birds of the same forest. When disaster strikes, they fly away separately, let alone people who are not related by blood.]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [What is the background of that girl? ]
Daju: [The Minister of Revenue had no children in his early years, so he adopted her from a distant relative in the countryside. After adopting this girl, the Minister of Revenue’s family had six children in three years.]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [The Minister of Revenue is an ungrateful person! He was destined to have no children, but the girl was destined to have brothers and sisters. The girl's good fortune will make the Minister of Revenue's family prosperous.]
Daju: [Poor girl is still trying to exonerate her adoptive parents. ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Where is the girl now? ]
Daju: [I have already made proper arrangements for that girl. ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Hey, I went to do charity last night! Did your cultivation level increase? ]
Daju: [Let’s not talk about this. I’ll be sad again if I talk about this.]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [The family of the Minister of Revenue did such a thing, no wonder they would desert the battlefield and embezzle the money from the national treasury.]
Daju: [What a coincidence! The family of the Minister of Revenue was robbed as soon as they left the city.]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Retribution comes so quickly. ]
Daju: [All the family members were taken abducted to a village two hundred miles away from Xijing. At this time, I am afraid that the women have all become wives of the village chief.]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [God is watching what we do. This kind of person and this kind of family do not deserve sympathy.]
Daju: [I'm afraid the Prime Minister is planning to surrender. 】
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Even if such a person surrenders, we cannot use him. ]
Daju: [Didn’t you just say that you should surrender and not run away? ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [This is up to the scorer. There is a kind of people who surrender only temporarily, and after the storm has passed, they will still rebel.
Daju: [I wonder if Nangong Rui has thought of this. ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Don't worry about him. The late emperor had a sharp eye. Otherwise, how could Nangong Rui be the successor?]
Daju: [What are the group of people in front doing? ]
