Daming: From the end of Hongwu

Speaking of the house here, Zhang Wu and Erxian used to live in it, but after Zhang Wu bought a new house, he asked Erxian to return the land deed. Zhen Wu didn't say much, so he chose another house to replenish Erxian.

But Er Xian and the others had a heart, and did not make any changes to the house. It was not much different from when Zhen Wu and the others lived there.

It's just that after so many years, it looks even more dilapidated.

But Aunt Cheng and the others often help clean up, so it doesn't look messy.

There are some traces of the past in the alley, but the wind blowing into the alley seems to be as familiar as that winter.

After arriving at the gate of the house, Zhang Yuqing stared at it for a long time before walking in.

She pointed at a certain place as if recalling, while talking to Zhen Wu, the second sage once cut a hole by the well and got a scar on his leg, and the third child tripped on the threshold when changing teeth and knocked two of them off at once. teeth, the fourth child and the fifth child held the kitchen window and quarreled every day over food, the little six somersaulted and fell into the water tank once...

Scenes seemed like yesterday.

But time is not forgiving, she is still old, and she gets tired after talking, when Zhen Wu saw this, someone moved a soft chair to help her sit down, Zhen Wu sat down next to her regardless of her status on the ground.

Zhang Yuqing smiled: "It's a good thing that you are the Duke of the state now, and you are still sitting on the ground when you are old, and you are not afraid of making people laugh at you."

"Let them make jokes." Zhen Wu said indifferently.

Looking at Zhen Wu's appearance, Zhang Yuqing shook his head helplessly. Since his son had been ill for a while, his ideas were very upright, and she couldn't control it anymore. Thinking of this, Zhang Yuqing looked at where the two were sitting. Suddenly he burst out laughing.

She said rather nostalgic.

"Boss, do you still remember that we sat in the yard like this the night before you took your third child to collect herbs? At that time, our family was poor, and you said you were full when you were not full. I can coax you to eat the pancakes, do you know that when I brought out the pancakes, the third child and the others were about to cry."

"Mother didn't have enough to eat at the time." Zhen Wu said.

Zhang Yuqing was taken aback for a moment, then sighed and said, "Yeah, at that time, my mother was afraid that I wouldn't be able to support you all, and that I wouldn't have the face to see your father when I got underground, especially since you were sick and stupid during that time." Same, if you don't say a word at the end of the day, you just know how to sit in the courtyard and bask in the sun stupidly..."

She babbled about the past, and Zhen Wu listened quietly.

Gradually, Zhang Yuqing's voice became smaller and smaller.

It was like sleeping peacefully.

With tears in his eyes, Zhen Wu carefully covered Zhang Yuqing with the cloak he was wearing, and then he sat quietly beside Zhang Yuqing and waited silently.

He looked at this woman, at this woman who had given him a home and unlimited support since he came to this world, with silent tears streaming down her face.

I don't know how long it took.

There was the sound of rapid horseshoes outside.

The third child, the second virtuous, the fourth child, the fifth child, the sixth child and the seventh child, after being notified by Zhen Wu in advance, traveled all over the starry night, and finally returned to Peiping at this time.

Zhen Wu called Zhang Yuqing softly: "Mother, wake up, the third child and the others are back, they are all back."

Zhang Yuqing's sleeping eyes seemed to open a gap, taking in all her children, and finally closed them gently as if a wish had been fulfilled, turning into a smile at the corner of her mouth.

There was a burst of crying in the Beetail Alley.

There were the sons and daughters of Zhen Wu Erxian and the others, Zhu Yuying and Zhang Wu the daughter-in-law and son-in-law, and the grandchildren San Yue and the others, as well as the cries of one or two immature great-grandchildren.

Under her leadership, the Zhen family prospered.

But the elder finally came to the day of withering and passing away.

And the ruthless time will turn Zhen Wu and the others into new elders.

They will also watch the way of the younger generation until their withering.

Then go round and round to build a long river of time.
