Daming: From the end of Hongwu

Last night on New Year's Eve, after having a reunion dinner, the family chatted for a while, and when it was completely dark, they dispersed and went to bed.

In this era, ordinary people and powerful people live like two worlds.

Many houses in the city are hung with lanterns, and the lights in the house are kept on all night.

And families like Zhen Wu and the others.

It was unpretentious and uninteresting.

However, on the first day of the new year, Zhen Wu was woken up early by the sound of firecrackers. After he got up, he first woke up the third child, and then called the little six to get up.

Xiao Liu muttered and refused to get up, but after dawdling for a while, he couldn't sleep because of the sound of firecrackers.

After everyone got up, Zhang Yuqing had already cooked the dumplings.

This time, the little ones were too hungry for the dumplings. Zhang Yuqing insisted on not letting them cook the big meat stuffing made last night, insisting that it would be a good omen on the first day of the new year.

Impatient to eat the hot dumplings, they all grinned and said nothing.

After eating, it's New Year's greetings.

Zhen Wu's family is a military household who moved here with the army, and Zhen Wu's father also joined the army halfway, unlike some military households where the entire family may join the army, the second and third uncles all moved here in the same litter.

Therefore, Zhen Wu doesn't have many relatives who need to pay New Year's greetings.

Those who need to move around are the few relationships left by his father, as well as Tan Yuan and the hundreds of households in the Youwei Camp.

Therefore, Zhen Wu came back early after going around for a while.

But no matter how early he came back, a group of old ladies at the entrance of the alley had already formed an intelligence team, and the short chatter among the parents of each family was quite lively.

After entering the first day of the new year, each family is really fine, visiting and chatting.

When Zhen Wu arrived at the entrance of the alley, he was not afraid of these old ladies, and greeted each of them with a smile, said happy new year, and then walked home.

Zhen Wu didn't need to think about it, he knew that at this moment, the old ladies had already started a new topic about him.

Zhen Wu smiled and shook his head indifferently.

However, when he got home, he wished he could rush out again and blow up their information booth.

Erxian crawled on the bed and cried very sadly.

The fourth child, the fifth child, and the two maids were next to each other and described to Zhen Wu that the sisters just went out and accidentally heard the gossip from the intelligence stall.

Zhen Wu gritted his teeth.

This New Year's Day is really troublesome.

These days, he knew that Er Xian had this on his mind, but as a senior man, he really didn't know how to persuade him, so he could only try his best not to make Er Xian sad.

Unexpectedly, this matter was really a nail in Er Xian's heart.

Seeing Er Xian crying on the bed like this, Zhen Wu was angry and distressed, couldn't help it for a while, and didn't care about the presence of the fourth and fifth children, so he ran towards Er Xian fiercely.

He was really angry.

"Isn't it just that someone else's family has withdrawn their marriage? Isn't it just a few old ladies talking nonsense? Is it worth your sadness and pain?"

The fourth child and the fifth child were taken aback for an instant.

Erxian, who was crawling, heard Zhen Wu's voice, and instinctively wanted to put away his tears, but when he sat up, his tearful eyes were still looking at Zhen Wu with pear blossoms and rain.

Er Xian rubbed hard, but the more he rubbed, the more sad he became.

This made Zhen Wu want to jump even more.

Seeing this, Erxian became more and more sad. She, who has always been weak, couldn't help releasing her emotions: "I know that my family wants to marry me out, and I feel that I have become a burden at home. I also want to marry, but I don't want to It has become like this, I have been doing well, learning needlework, learning housework, taking care of my younger brothers and sisters, I have never done anything wrong, why did I become like this."

Zhen Wu was stunned.

next moment.

I just feel distressed.

Chapter 033 - The Wind and the Snow

Some emotions always need to be broken apart and crushed to experience, so as to experience the possible torment in Erxian's heart.

Zhen Wu let out a long sigh. Outside the house, the sound of children setting off firecrackers happily seemed to blow him back to his childhood.

The memory of the original owner became clearer.

They were all young that year, and there were not many children in the family. Erxian was still a silly little girl with a snot bubble. When her parents were not at home, she would just wander around behind Zhen Wu's buttocks, and would not leave for half a step.

Very timid.

Especially, whenever parents do not return at mealtime or night.

Er Xian would always be like an abandoned bird, calling heartbreakingly for his parents at the gate of the yard, with tears in his eyes, looking at the entrance of the alley without blinking.

Little people only know that their parents will come back from there.

At that time, Zhen Wu thought that he was stronger and braver than Er Xian.

However, I don't know when to start.

Erxian seemed to have grown up in an instant.

It seems that there are more and more children in the family, and Zhen Wu has also reached the age, and began to follow his father to the army to work as a coolie. Often only Zhang Yuqing and a group of children are left in the family.

Erxian stopped crying and became more courageous. He began to learn how to take care of his younger siblings and how to help his mother.

Little by little, she worked hard to adapt, and she became a big girl.

The days always pass quietly, the voice is so low that other people didn't notice the change of the two sages.

Even until now, when Zhang Yuqing finds a job that can earn some money, he always brings with him two sages who have never complained, but everyone thinks it should be taken for granted.

On the contrary, the original owner of Zhen Wu may have tasted fatigue and knew poverty, and when facing this group of children in the family, he always had a bit of indignation and rejection.

But the more Zhen Wu is like this, the more Zhang Yuqing feels sorry for Zhen Wu, and he can't help but want to favor Zhen Wu every day.

The two sages were ignored.

Even the current Zhen Wu knew that Erxian was depressed because of the marriage, but he never thought that because of this matter, Erxian had many messy thoughts in his heart.

Zhen Wu took a deep breath, suppressed his fluctuating emotions, waved his hands, and drove out the fourth and fifth children, and then sat down next to the two sages.

"Stupid girl, why are you still the crybaby from before? Who told your family that they want to marry you off? Who told your family that they treat you as a burden?"

"Do you think I don't know what our mother is thinking?" Erxian sobbed twice.

Zhen Wu wiped Er Xian's tears with his hand, and deliberately shook them in front of Er Xian's eyes, making a disgusted expression: "Look at your tears, how old they are, and you know how to cry, I'm not afraid that Xiao Liu will laugh at you.

Besides, if our mother really wants you to marry, think about it, can you really marry?Where will it stay at home?It's not that I want to find you a better in-law's family. "

"It's just uncomfortable like this. It's better to let me marry hastily." Erxian said with a temper: "It's also easy to listen to the gossip of the neighbors."

"What nonsense are you talking about?!"

Zhen Wu stood up abruptly, and his tone suddenly became more fierce: "Zhen Erxian, I don't care if you are afraid of the neighbor's gossip, or want to get married and give me a spare room, let me tell you, you should give me this as soon as possible." Thoughts, and my mother and I have already agreed, if I don’t nod in the future, no one will marry a girl from our family.”

Erxian looked at Zhen Wu fiercely in astonishment.

Zhen Wu was cruel, and snorted coldly: "Also, I can't control you if you want to think wildly every day, but let me tell you, I have already planned to buy a bigger house this year, and even if I raise you for the rest of my life, I won't be able to delay it." I marry a daughter-in-law, anyway, if I don't nod, you don't want to get married."

After finishing speaking, Zhen Wu violently lifted the curtain and walked out.

It was cold outside, and when he came outside, the cold Zhen Wu couldn't help shrinking his neck, but even so, Zhen Wu couldn't stop the resentment in his heart.

One day at a time, one at a time.

I thought the two sages would save my worries, but none of them could make me worry less.

Is this the elder brother?

……

It may be because of their weak temperament, they need to be fierce to be honest. In the next few days, the two sages looked much more cheerful.

Those beautiful eyebrows no longer frown from time to time, but that heart-warming smile is often revealed.

Every time Zhen Wu watched it, he felt relieved.

It's just that Xiaoliu is tired of people.

The third grade.

Snowflakes floated in the sky again, and they were blown by the north wind and hit people's faces. They didn't melt for a while, but they froze and cracked their faces.

People in Beiping City, except for the children who can't bear to be quiet and run around in the street, most of the others are unbearable to be harassed by the wind and snow, hiding in their homes for winter.

After getting up early in the morning and walking around, Zhen Wu hid back home chilly.

There were no entertainment activities in this era, Zhen Wu was thinking about fighting landlords with his family, but later he thought about what to do with a group of children and women, and suddenly felt bored, and climbed back to bed to catch up on sleep.

Just when he was sleeping in a daze.

A young man inquired from door to door in the wind and snow, and turned left and right to Zhen Wu's house.

The man's face was a bit tangled, and he even planned to retreat quietly a few times, but in the end he gritted his teeth and knocked on the door of Zhen Wu's house.

Er Xian was leading the fourth child, the fifth child and the others were playing around, vaguely heard a knock on the door, got up and opened the curtain to listen, and asked the third child uncertainly.

At this moment, Lao San is carefully checking where there is any air leakage in the stable. This stable was processed by Lao San a few days ago, and he is more careful than Zhen Wu in terms of fine horses.

The third child shook his head when he heard Er Xian's words: "I didn't pay attention, just take a look."

"You just guard this beast, and you can sleep with it at night if you have the ability." The second sage couldn't help nagging the third child, and some of them were angry. She just found out that this beast is no more expensive than a human being. Low.

The third child curled his lips, ignored the second sage, and went into the stable, thinking about scratching and brushing the horse again.

Erxian tightened his clothes speechlessly, trotted to the door, opened the door, saw a stranger, and froze for a moment: "Who are you?"

The people outside the door were also taken aback.

"Is this Zhen Wu's home?"

Erxian nodded in a daze, and then immediately reacted and introduced: "Zhen Wu is my elder brother, are you?"

"Oh, I'm Zhen Wujun's friend, I need him urgently, is he at home?"

Erxian saw that this person was a little strange, and was thinking whether to believe him or not.

The people outside the door seemed to have guessed what the two sages were thinking, and said again: "My name is Zhang Wu, and I belong to the same general banner under Lord Tan as Zhen Wu. You can ask your brother, and you will know."

When Er Xian heard this, most of the doubts in his heart disappeared immediately, and he smiled and said: "Then you stay here, I will call my brother."

The voice is clear and crisp, with the unique delicate voice of a girl, and the smile makes Zhang Wu feel as if it is the most beautiful flower in the world, clearer than snowflakes, and more piercing.

In this cold and snowy day of the twelfth lunar month, only one thought remained in Zhang Wu's mind.

Zhen Wu had such a beautiful girl.

Chapter 034 - I promise, you two can be brothers and sisters

Zhen Wu was soundly asleep when he was suddenly shaken awake by Er Xian.

After dazedly listening to the words of the two sages, Zhen Wu shook his head without delay and got up.

Once outside, the cold immediately wiped away Zhen Wu's drowsiness.

Zhang Wu saw Zhen Wu coming out at the door early, and waved quickly.

Zhen Wu smiled happily and said, "Why did you come to my place suddenly? Come and sit in the room, come and sit in the room."

"I won't sit down anymore. I have something to ask for you, and I'm in a hurry to leave after talking about it."

Zhen Wu walked over suspiciously, "Why are you in such a hurry?"

Zhang Wu opened his mouth and wanted to say it directly, but for some reason, he glanced at the two sages who were following Zhen Wu, blushed, and pulled Zhen Wu to the side.

"But...can you lend me some money? I came out in a hurry, and I didn't bring enough money. I'll pay you back later." Zhang Wu said with some embarrassment. .

And Erxian saw that Zhang Wu was indeed Zhen Wu's friend, so he smiled at Zhen Wu, turned around and went back into the kitchen. She needed to see if the water that was boiled a while ago was boiling. I'm coughing, I need to drink more water.

Zhen Wu rolled his eyes, moved his body, and blocked Zhang Wu's sight, but unexpectedly, Zhang Wu also moved his feet, staring blankly at the back of the two sages.

Zhen Wu's face darkened, and he blocked Zhang Wu's sight again: "It's okay to borrow money, after all, I treat you as a brother, but do you know what brother means?"

Zhang Wu was puzzled.

Zhen Wu said heavily: "Brother, brother's sister, I will treat him like my own sister, understand?"
