Daming: From the end of Hongwu

Since Zhen Wu and the third child both got married, the family ate meals separately. Usually, after the big kitchen was ready, the servants sent it to each yard. Unless there was some festival or happy event, everyone would gather together. It was lively and lively in Zhang Yuqing's yard.

The rest of the time, only Xiao Liu and Xiao Qi often went to eat with Zhang Yuqing, while Zhen Wu and Lao San usually ate with their daughter-in-law in their courtyard.

Xiao Liu put forward a condition with a smile on his face: "The sister-in-law asked the eldest brother to take me to play in the military camp, and I will have dinner with my sister-in-law."

Zhu Yuying rolled her eyes, and said angrily: "The little girl is always thinking about what to do in the military camp every day. What's so fun about smelling bad? Listen to my sister-in-law, let's not go."

Xiao Liu shook his head unhappily.

Zhu Yuying feigned anger: "Be careful that your brother is angry again. It's not because your sister-in-law is talking about you. Your brother always hopes that you will read some books and learn some female celebrities, but you are so good at wielding knives every day. Can you not make your brother angry? It's time for you brothers and sisters to get angry again."

"If you are angry, then you are not afraid of him." Xiao Liu raised his delicate eyebrows and said, "It's not that when he was young, he always ran away and used those knives and arrows to tease me. Now he wants me to learn from female reds. late."

As he said that, Xiao Liu suddenly said to Zhu Yuying with great interest: "Besides, my elder brother taught me how to shoot a blunderbuss when I was young, tsk tsk tsk, listen to my sister-in-law, whose child plays blunderbuss, because of this, the second sister chased me It's been half a month."

After Xiao Liu finished speaking, he folded his hands on his chest angrily.

But Zhu Yuying burst out laughing, she remembered hearing from the fourth and fifth younger sisters that thieves broke into the house before, and Xiao Liu beat them with a gun, but he missed, and her little hands swelled for a long time and couldn't go away.

"It's not that you have been pestering your elder brother and annoying your elder brother." Zhu Yuying said.

As soon as these words fell, the voice of the maid outside suddenly sounded.

"Princess, the princess is back. He has come out of the old lady's courtyard and is heading this way."

Zhu Yuying responded, expressing that she knew, then she got up and wanted to go outside to meet her, but Xiao Liu smiled and stepped forward to support Zhu Yuying.

Zhu Yuying smiled and nodded Xiao Liu again: "You, you complain about your brother, but when you hear that your brother is back, your eyes are bright."

"No way." Xiao Liu insisted.

Just as the two of them came to the outer room, the sound of Zhen Wu's footsteps could already be heard in the courtyard, and the two of them quickly walked two steps and came to the front of the house.

After Zhen Wu saw it, he immediately complained: "How many times have I told you that I don't need you to come out to meet me when I come back, why did you get up again?"

Zhu Yuying's eyes were full of tenderness, she looked at Zhen Wu, smiled softly and said, "After sitting for a long time, I wanted to stand up and walk around."

Zhen Wu stepped forward to support Zhu Yuying and walked towards the inner room. After Zhu Yuying was safely sent to the bed and sat down, he raised his eyebrows and looked at Xiaoliu: "It's already time, why don't you go back? Do you want to stay for dinner?" what."

Xiao Liu broke his guard all of a sudden, baring his teeth and waving his claws: "I'm going to stay for dinner, but I don't want to eat with you, I want to eat with my sister-in-law."

"As you like."

Zhen Wu said something lightly, then turned his head and smiled and said to Zhu Yuying: "When I came back today, I met a sour jujube seller. I tasted the special sour and bought them all. After washing them in a while, you can taste them. A few, see if you like to eat."

Zhu Yuying's eyes lit up and said: "I've been thinking about something sour for the past two days. I must like it. It's just that you are tired from military affairs, so you should worry about it."

"What are you talking about? Isn't this what I should do?"

After Zhen Wu finished speaking, he sighed a little in his heart. There is really a clear difference between women these days and women in later generations. At least they don't fight around with the matter of giving birth, as if they give birth to a child and the child doesn't call them mother. Yes, it looks like the man is thanks to them for this.

Don't know what's the punch here.

Men and women have different physiques and different responsibilities. When it comes to co-breeding and cultivating the next generation, it is important to distinguish between important and unimportant. Women who talk about conditions based on this point are really brain-dead.

Xiao Liu was ignored by Zhen Wu and gritted his teeth angrily.

Speaking of the two of them getting angry some time ago, Xiao Liu unilaterally declared a cold war, and he didn't talk to Zhen Wu for several days. At that time, Zhen Wu had just found out that Zhu Yuying was pregnant and was busy, so he didn't have time to talk to Xiao Liu.

After Zhen Wu could take care of Xiao Liu, he just took the initiative to say a word to Xiao Liu, and Xiao Liu was happy and never had a cold war with Zhen Wu again.

The little girl held back her big move for several days, but when Zhen Wu flattened her, she was completely broken.

Now that Xiao Liu's eating of dog food has been neglected again, and he is already planning his next big move, he is ruthlessly thinking about how many days he will not talk to Zhen Wu.

At this time, Zhen Wu turned around and said something to Xiao Liu.

"In a while, after the dates are delivered, you can pick and eat a few."

Xiao Liu immediately smiled again, and the big move that was brewing in her heart dissipated, she said in a hurry: "Then you have to feed me... my sister-in-law and I will eat."

"Okay, after feeding your sister-in-law, I will feed you as well. You are still the same as you were when you were a child."

……

While a few people were chatting, it gradually became dark.

After the three of them had finished their meal, Xiao Liu pestered Zhu Yuying to talk again in high spirits. After Zhen Wu talked to the two of them, he came outside.

Zhen Wu directed to Xiu'er: "You go and tell the third child, let him go to the main hall to find me after dinner, I have something to look for him."

Xiu'er responded, and then went to Jingyong Garden.

After Zhen Wu came to the main hall, after waiting for a while, the third child hurried over.

"Just finished eating?" Zhen Wu asked.

After the third child nodded, he asked, "What's wrong, brother?"

Zhen Wu didn't answer immediately, but while thinking about it, he made tea casually. He felt that it was time to make some preparations for the future situation.

After the tea was brewed, Zhen Wu poured two cups and motioned for the third child to get one himself.

After the third child took a cup, he blew gently, then put it aside, waiting quietly for Zhen Wu to speak.

Only then did Zhen Wu speak: "You are now the general banner, do you have anyone under your command?"

Speaking of this, Zhen Wu paused, and said solemnly: "This time is different from before, this time I want you to be absolutely trustworthy, and you can guarantee that they will be loyal to you."

After thinking for a while, the third child nodded and said, "Yes."

Afterwards, the third child and Zhen Wu said the names of the three people, and Zhen Wu nodded after remembering them firmly in his heart.

The third child asked suspiciously: "Brother, didn't you transfer a few people away from me before, why do you want to transfer them again this time? These people are my close friends, and now you want to transfer them away again..."

"Reluctant?"

"It's not that I can't bear it, it's just that brother, you have so many people under your command, why don't you use them?"

Before that, Zhen Wu transferred a few trusted people from Lao San's side, and then arranged them to a more important position in Beiping through others.

This time Zhen Wu also planned to use the third child, not only that, Zhen Wu would also promote them, and then through other people, transfer them to the city gate and let them guard the city gate.

Zhen Wu didn't open his mouth to explain the third child's doubts.

He does have many available people, but his goal is too big. As Zhu Di's son-in-law, those around him are easily affected and suspected. The people around the third brother are relatively inconspicuous, even if it affects the old Three, but the little people under the third brother are generally not noticeable.

Of course, there is another reason, that is, Zhen Wu intends to give the third brother a credit.

The [-] soldiers of King Yan's Mansion won the Nine Gates bravely. This should be regarded as Zhu Di's first battle against Jingnan, and it was also an extremely dangerous and most important battle. If the third child played a greater role in it, he should be able to follow him in the future take off.

Of course, there is no need to talk to the third child about this.

However, after thinking for a while, Zhen Wu still reminded the third child: "The city of Beiping is about to fall into chaos. You should be more peaceful these days. If your position is still affected by this, don't be impulsive, just accept your fate and return home honestly." Family, I have my own plan for this matter, understand?"

The third child nodded, a thought flashed in his eyes.

……

Chapter 234 - The First Snow

The servants near the main hall of Zhen's mansion had been cleared away long ago, only the figures of Zhen Wu and the third child were swaying in the lights.

Ma Yi took his gaze away from the shadows of Zhen Wu and the two, and stayed loyally nearby, concentrating on not letting anyone approach him.

He didn't care what the brothers Zhen Wu said.

He only knew that since he came to the Zhen family, the life and future of him and his descendants were all tied to the Zhen family, and he would not let anyone harm the interests of the Zhen family.

In Ma Yi's eyes, Zhen Wu, the head of the family, is talented and can lead the Zhen family to prosperity, so as long as the Zhen family does not fall, his Ma family's children will not be hungry for a lifetime if they follow the Zhen family.

This alone is much better than many people in the world, not to mention that the two brothers are also highly valued. Not only is the elder brother Ma Ren appointed by the uncle to be the housekeeper of the outer mansion, but he is often by the uncle's side, and he is trusted by the uncle.

In the main hall, after taking a sip of tea, Zhen Wu looked at the thinking third child. Over the years, Zhen Wu's education for the third child, besides instilling some principles of life in the third child, the most important thing is to cultivate The third child's ability to think independently.

He often gives the third child some ominous information, and asks the third child to learn useful key factors from that information.

Because in Zhen Wu's view, a person must learn the ability to clear the fog and explore the essence of facts through the surface. If the causal relationship of something is solved, it is just a mistake, and the next time will not be so lucky, and it will be over sooner or later.

The youngest thought about it until now, and finally his eyes were fixed, and he asked in disbelief, "Brother, could something happen to King Yan?"

When Zhen Wu heard what the third child said, he was somewhat satisfied with the third child. It seems that his training for the third child over the years has achieved certain results.

"I'm not sure, just make some arrangements in advance, just in case. After all, our family's honor and disgrace are all tied to Yan Wang's mansion. There is no harm in making more preparations, but you don't want to tell others about these things, even if it is you. Daughter-in-law can't do it either, you know?"

The third child nodded and said, "Brother, I'm not a child, I know this."

Zhen Wu smiled, then looked at the third child, and said with some relief: "Okay, elder brother also understands, and will not treat you like a child in the future."

After finishing speaking, Zhen Wu couldn't help laughing again. Who would have thought that the reckless young man would have such a steady look now.

"Okay, it's getting late, let's go back and rest earlier."

The third child still wanted to chat with Zhen Wu for a while, and asked in detail, but just as he opened his mouth, he saw Zhen Wu wave his hand in distaste. The third child knew his elder brother's temperament, so he had no choice but to shut his mouth , he got up and said in a muffled voice: "Then I will go back first, and the eldest brother will rest earlier."

Zhen Wu hummed, and stopped talking to the third child.

Only then did the third child turn his head and leave the main hall. On the way, the wind was a little bit chilly, but the third child was only thinking about things in his heart, so he didn't feel the wind was cool. He was still thinking about what Zhen Wu told him just now. Things, the situation in Beiping is really about to change drastically, but if this is the case, then my eldest brother... as the son-in-law of King Yan, how can my eldest brother not be affected?

Although the eldest brother has not said anything to him in recent years, he also knows that there are some people who are difficult to deal with, not to mention that his family has suddenly become rich, so why is there no one who is jealous.

It's okay if there is no accident at home, but if something happens, who knows what kind of people will jump out and provoke.

Thinking of this, the third child stopped in shock, his hands that had been relaxed all the time clenched into fists in vain, as if he had exerted all his strength.

The third child gritted his teeth and thought fiercely, "If that time really comes, if anyone bullies the eldest brother and sister-in-law, I, Zhen Yong, will definitely chop off his dog's head with a knife."

The eldest brother has been running the family for so many years, and his eldest son Zhen is no longer a chicken under the wings of an old hen.

Can always hurt.

A reckless boy, with age and maturity, even if he becomes more stable, he still has some recklessness deep in his heart.

Soon.

The third child then came to his own yard. As soon as he entered the house, Shi Nuan came up to him and helped him remove his coat. Shi Nuan put the coat aside and asked the servants to prepare footwashing water while asking casually.

"What is the uncle looking for you, why did he ask you at this hour."

"Oh, nothing."

The third child made an excuse casually and said, "I just asked about my recent situation in the army. During the day, my elder brother is busy and can't take care of me. He only thinks of nagging me when he has free time."

He learned from Zhen Wu that outside affairs never worry his family members.

"What do you mean by nagging? I really care about you." Shi Nuan turned around and gave the third child a bad look.

The third child grinned, but didn't care, walked over, sat down beside Shi Nuan, stretched out his hand to hold Shi Nuan's delicate and soft little hand to play with.

But the third child became interested in playing.

"Sister-in-law is also pregnant now, do you think we should work harder?"

Shi Nuan was a little shy and moved, but she still withdrew her hand, put her hands on her hips and said, "What are you thinking about? Don't think about it, wait... wait for a while to rest."

"You've already said that, what are you waiting for, rest now." After finishing speaking, the third child hurriedly picked up Shi Nuan by the waist, and walked towards the bed.

"Don't make trouble, you haven't washed your feet yet."

"I won't wash it today."

……

On the other side, Zhen Wu went back to his room and didn't see Xiao Liu, so he casually asked Zhu Yuying, "Has Xiao Liu gone back?"

"Well, I just left for a while." Zhu Yuying said with a smile all over her face.

Zhen Wu cleaned his hands, went to sit beside Zhu Yuying, and asked curiously, "Why are you so happy, but what did Xiao Liu tell you?"

When Zhu Yuying heard Zhen Wu mention it, she couldn't help laughing again, and then she chatted with Zhen Wu about the content of Xiao Liu's chat with her just now, saying that Xiao Liu asked her to complain, and Xiao Qi begged for being a good boy from her mother. Several times, she was the one to ask for the money, but the mother never gave it to her.

Zhen Wu was also happy when he heard this: "This little seven monkeys are so smart, they don't have enough money to spend, and they even sent their ideas to their mother. Hey, I have to talk to my mother later, I can't give this kid too much." I spend as much money as I give, and I don’t know where he spends it alone.”

Unexpectedly, after saying this, Zhu Yuying shook her head and said, "Don't talk to your mother. These days, my mother is very boring. I am too heavy to accompany my mother all the time. My younger siblings also have to work hard in the back house. Little six and little seven are so playful that they can't take time off, so mother uses some change to hang the two little guys over to play with mother often, it's not a lot of money, don't make mother think too much."

Zhen Wu suddenly froze.

Over the past few days, Zhang Yuqing has been neglected if he is not paying attention.

In the past, when Zhang Yuqing was bored, he could go to chat with some old neighbors, but as his family's status became higher and higher, Zhang Yuqing gradually felt a sense of distance from those old neighbors. to chat with.

But those old neighbors are still more and more cautious and cautious, and they often have a utilitarian mind to please Zhang Yuqing, wanting Zhang Yuqing to let Zhen Wu take care of their husband and son, gradually Zhang Yuqing also feels boring, so contact Also less and less.

In this way, Zhang Yuqing's circle of activities has obviously shrunk, and most of the time Zhang Yuqing is only active in her yard.

The sky is long and the sun is far away, and Zhang Yuqing usually has nothing to do, so how can he not be bored.
