Daming: From the end of Hongwu

Zhen Wu sighed.

Work hard.

You must improve your social class as soon as possible, so that you can let go and earn some money.

Only in this way can this home look less sad.

Chapter 031 - The New Year's Eve

money.

Zhen Wu is confident that in this day and age, as long as he is willing to use his brain and research, he can always find a way to earn a lot of money.

However, being rich is not necessarily a good thing in this era.

Based on the current situation of his family, if he has money, once Zhen Wu is not at home, a few gangsters who are desperate and desperate can cause his family to suffer a bloody blow.

Not to mention encountering some dignitaries and the like.

If you want to own money legally and safely, the best way is to upgrade your identity to match it.

Not to mention far away, if Zhen Wu is promoted to a hundred households, first of all, his family can recruit Ding Nuyuan, and secondly, he himself can bring his confidant guards.

For example, Tan Yuan's guards are all selected from more than a hundred military households in his own family. Needless to say, they are loyal and help Tan Yuan guard the house even when there is no war.

Zhen Wu thought silently in his heart.

You should be promoted to a hundred households sooner.

Thinking of this, Zhen Wu smiled, and said to Zhang Yuqing: "I know the situation at home, now that I am old, I will take care of these things, don't worry about them all the time, and the marriage of the two sages, don't worry about it." In order to marry me a daughter-in-law, Erxian married Erxian out of nowhere, and you know how much Erxian has suffered with you since childhood, and my heart hurts as a brother."

"It's as if your mother and I are so cruel. If it's not necessary, why don't you think I don't want Erxian to marry me?"

Zhen Wu smiled and said: "Actually, I've thought about it a long time ago. Our family should buy another house, not to mention anything else. After I marry a wife, the third child will also marry a wife. At that time, the fourth child will not be able to get married." , the fifth child also got married in a muddleheaded way, do you think this is the reason?"

Zhang Yuqing sighed: "It's not as easy as you said. A house with three rooms costs dozens of taels of silver at least."

"Don't worry about it. I'll figure out a way. I'm going to go to war in the next year. Maybe I can make some more credits and get promoted to a hundred households. Then we can choose an official house to buy. Think about it, if we really buy one You live in the official residence, you are the old lady in the official residence, if you have nothing to do, tease the birds and have a cup of tea, don’t you have more hope than today’s life?”

Zhang Yuqing had always been frowning, but when she heard Zhen Wu drawing a big cake for her, she couldn't help but angrily said: "It seems that the credit is so good, your mother may not have this life."

However, Zhang Yuqing said so, but the frown on his face could not help but relax. Thinking of the days Zhen Wu said, although he felt unrealistic, he also let out a chuckle.

Zhen Wu saw that Zhang Yuqing's depression had dissipated a lot, he was no longer so sad, and he was happy from the bottom of his heart. After thinking about the group of small people outside, he said to Zhang Yuqing: "By the way, give me some money. There’s not much money left.”

Zhang Yuqing couldn't be picky with the other children in the family, but he had nothing to say to Zhen Wu. As soon as he heard that Zhen Wu asked for money, he immediately started to pay for it, and asked by the way, "Why do you want the money?"

"Take Erxian and the others to go shopping."

When Zhang Yuqing heard that Zhen Wu didn't spend it by himself, he covered up the money again: "As soon as you come back, do you spend money indiscriminately?"

Zhen Wu was speechless.

"Oh my mother, don't you just try to be happy during the Chinese New Year, the eyebrows on the outside are not eyebrows, and the nose is not a nose. Can you have a good New Year?"

Zhang Yuqing was still unwilling.

Zhen Wu raised his eyebrows: "If you want to give it, then I will exchange the jewels for money? Think about whether you are saving money or jewels."

When Zhang Yuqing heard this, he immediately became unhappy, but after thinking about it, there were a lot of jewels for no reason, and Zhen Wu could spend some money randomly, so he took the money to Zhen Wu angrily: "Here, here you are. "

Zhen Wu laughed happily and said, "Well, I'm already in charge of the house, and you still hold on to the money jar. My house is so boring, but I promise you that this house will be booming." , you just wait to be your official old lady."

After finishing speaking, Zhen Wu got up and walked out of the house.

Zhang Yuqing looked at the back of the eldest son, and laughed angrily. She didn't even realize that when Zhen Wu came back, she felt a lot more relaxed for no reason.

outside the house.

Erxian was still washing clothes bitterly, and she frowned tightly in the cold well water, but she didn't say a word, she just lowered her head and worked hard.

The fourth child and the fifth child were basking in the sun, watching Xiao Liu and Xiao Qi together.

Zhen Wu frowned, came to Lao Si's side, hugged Xiao Qi who was in Lao Si's arms, and said to Lao Si and Lao Wu, "Both of you go to help your second sister do laundry."

The two were not happy and just wanted to say something.

Zhen Wu patted the money bag with a smile: "Whenever you finish washing your clothes, when will I take you to the front street to buy things, food, clothes, fun, whatever."

"Really?" The fourth and fifth children said in unison.

The two of them have been bored at home for a long time. Now that they can not only go out to play, but also buy things, they are really happy.

Children's Chinese New Year, isn't it just that you can spend some money.

Zhen Wu nodded and said: "If we wash quickly now, we can turn around for a while longer."

The two girls jumped up in an instant, and happily ran to Er Xian's side, regardless of the cold water in the well, one by one rushed to get started.

Seeing this, Erxian also relaxed his brows.

It is not an easy job for a person to accumulate dirty clothes for a long time.

But if the three of them wash together, it will be much faster, and even later, after Zhen Wu's indifference towards Xiao Liu has passed, he is too annoying to ask Xiao Liu to help.

The price is just a few fried twists.

Soon, the four girls washed all the accumulated dirty clothes, and after Zhen Wu and Zhang Yuqing greeted each other, they carried Xiao Qi in their arms and went straight to the front street with the four younger sisters.

There are many shops on Qian Street. These days, the goods are not particularly rich, and the variety is not too many. It is not comparable to the shopping streets in the cities of later generations.

But even so, the four younger sisters couldn't be happier.

A few girls ran up, Zhen Wu could hardly control the scene, it was not much easier than leading fifty soldiers, which made Zhen Wu speechless.

In the end, everyone bought quite a few things.

Xiao Liu is the simplest, eating candied haws in his mouth, twisted dough twist and mung bean cake in his hands.

The fourth child and the fifth child were holding their new clothes, while chatting about the hairpin they just bought.

Er Xian also picked up a box of gouache.

Xiao Qi was in Zhen Wu's arms, playing with the toy that Zhen Wu had chosen for him, a wooden horse that could transform.

Zhen Wu bought a lot of vegetables along the way, including chicken, duck and fish.

This trip cost Zhang Yuqing two months, but in return everyone was very happy, except Erxian, this girl was still sad from time to time.

Unlike the other girls, they are heartless.

After arriving home, the third child had already returned. As soon as Zhen Wu and the others entered the door, they saw the third child watching the army horse in the shed, and couldn't help touching it every once in a while.

The third child heard the movement, turned his head to see Zhen Wu and the others, and asked Zhen Wu excitedly: "Brother, is this your horse?"

Zhen Wu nodded, then pursed his lips and said, "Do you want to ride around?"

"is it okay?"

"of course can."

The third child yelled excitedly, not knowing what to do.

The fourth child raised his eyebrows and said to the fifth child in a funny way: "Look at the third brother, he is really hopeless."

"Yes, yes." Lao Wu agreed with a smile.

Erxian thoughtfully took the things in Zhen Wu's hand, first sent them back to the kitchen, and then came out, watching the lively scene outside, listening to the excited chirping of the brothers and sisters.

Suddenly, she felt that she was a failure.

She is the elder sister.

But she has never been able to make all the frowns in the family smile like Zhen Wu did.

Not only that, but it seems to have become a burden on the family without knowing it.

Chapter 032 - New Year

Time at home always flies by quickly.

The third child was as cautious as he was with his new wife. After he rode a horse for a stroll and came back, he kept nagging Zhen Wu.

No matter what you say, it is different from the old horse in Uncle Liu's house.

The hooves look good.

What Zhen Wu said was dumbfounded.

Uncle Liu's horses were also retired from the army. Apart from being a little older, shedding more hair, and less durable, there is no difference.

As far as the speed of the third child's stroll is concerned, the old horse of Uncle Liu's family is completely satisfied.

I don't know how he could tell that the hooves were different.

Zhen Wu perfunctorily perfunctory the third child, unable to bear to spoil the excitement of the third child.

While chatting, the third child suddenly said: "Brother, can I also join the army, I want to fight too."

Zhen Wu was taken aback, and looked at the third child.

The third child is rarely serious.

Zhen Wu thought for a while and said, "Because you want to ride a horse?"

The youngest blushed, then shook his head and said, "It's not just that I want to ride a horse. The main thing is that I don't want to be a coolie in the army. I want to join the army and make contributions."

Military coolies are generally Yu Ding from military households, who are responsible for transporting food and grass during wartime.

"There will be casualties in the main army." Zhen Wu said.

The third child didn't pause and said, "I know, and I'm not afraid. If our family wants to stand out, the only way is to fight for our lives on the battlefield."

"Don't want to do business or something? Don't worry about whether our family is a military household." Zhen Wu asked.

The third child shook his head without thinking about it.

Zhen Wu fell silent.

He suddenly felt a kind of pressure called elder brother.

He had no younger brother or child in his previous life, and he never made decisions for other people's lives.

He didn't think he would be able to make the right choice for the third child, but he had no choice. He was the eldest brother, so he had to consider these things and help the third child choose a path that suited him.

Would you like to join the military?

From a historical point of view, it must be good. In the future, many heroes of Jingnan grew up from sergeants, but Zhen Wu is not sure whether the third child can survive the battlefield through wild ways.

The third child is impulsive, full of vigor, and has not even formed a mature logical system in his mind.

How to guarantee to survive and share the fruits of Zhu Di's victory?

Even Zhen Wu couldn't guarantee that he would survive now.

Can you reject the third child?

The third child will always be separated in the future to support his small family independently, and he will also leave behind his bloodline, which will be passed on to his children and grandchildren. Now, because Zhen Wu is afraid that the third child will be in danger, why don't he give him a gate to the sky? close?

"Have you told our mother?" Zhen Wu asked.

The third child shook his head and said, "Even if I told my mother, wouldn't my mother discuss it with you, so I want to ask you first."

Zhen Wu took a deep breath, patted him on the shoulder and said, "You are still young, think about this matter for two or three years, if you still want to join the army after two or three years, brother will help you."

The third child nodded with a simple smile.

Looking at the third child, Zhen Wu always felt a little uneasy. After thinking for a while, he asked: "Do you remember the moves that our father taught you? When you come back, you have nothing to do and practice more. There are also your second sister, fourth child, fifth child and others. Xiao Liu, from now on you will take them to exercise at home."

"Why do their girls practice this?" The third child was puzzled.

Zhen Wu looked up at the sky, others don't know, why doesn't he know, Beiping City will not be safe in the future, when the most critical time, Princess Xu Miaoyun and the family members of the sergeants also went to the city to fight bloody.

It's always good to be prepared.

Thinking of this, Zhen Wu suddenly thought, couldn't he be more prepared?I know that there will be Jing Nan in the future, why don't I arrange some backups first.

Make it easier for Jing.

Thinking about it, Zhen Wu was fascinated.

……

In a blink of an eye, it was the first day of the new year.
