Daming: From the end of Hongwu

Chapter 281 279 - The Military Family Passed Down From Generation to Generation

Zhang Yuqing has been smiling these days, just because she waited for her two sons to come back.

In her simple world, although she also looks forward to the prosperity of her children, her biggest thought is that the family is safe and sound, and it is best for the family to be together often and live a stable life normal life.

But in this year of constant wars, her two sons were both in the army, and it was obviously impossible for her to be with her sons all the time.

She is clear.

She never complained, but in the dead of night, she would say a few sad words, the eldest son was not at home, and the third son was also not at home. The calls made her unable to see her son, and she missed her son in a panic.

She has always disliked Zhan Luan, she dislikes it from the bottom of her heart, and even hates it.

But she is not a confused woman.

Some time ago, when Beiping City encountered the most critical moment, she, who was timid and never good at quarreling, unexpectedly took up a knife and wanted to call on Xu Miaoyun's organization to help her in-laws. Put your mind to it.

At that time, Zhu Yuying saw that Zhang Yuqing couldn't even hold the knife steadily, but his face looked like this, and his eyes couldn't help but moisten.

What kind of temperament is Zhang Yuqing? Over the years, Zhu Yuying has also figured it out. She can be said to be the best mother-in-law in the world. If you play rough with her, you won't be hard, but when you meet someone who tears with her, you will suddenly soften into a batter.

This temperament is thrown out, a typical template of kindness and deceit.

But it is such a person, after encountering something, the energy that bursts out can make everyone look and admire.

But Zhu Yuying really didn't dare to let Zhang Yuqing go to the top of the city, and persuaded Zhang Yuqing for a long time, and finally persuaded Zhang Yuqing to come down, but Zhang Yuqing still personally spoke and asked all the family members to help in the battle.

And she was called by some weak family members to go to the temple to pray and pray together.

A few days ago, Zhang Yuqing had just fulfilled his vow, thinking that this temple was very effective, so he didn't intend to let the Buddha rest for a while, and asked the Buddha for two blessings of peace for brothers Zhen Wu and Zhen Yong.

Until today, Zhang Yuqing had just sewed the Ping An Fu into a sachet according to the order of the temple. Now when she saw Zhen Wu walking in, she hurriedly called Zhen Wu to her side, and tied it to her body , while muttering: "Niang Ke told you that this temple is effective, this sachet, you must not dislike the burden, and then secretly take it off for me."

After finishing speaking, he added emphatically: "It's really very effective. Don't believe it. At that time, Beiping City was about to be breached, but later it retreated for no reason. I thought it must be the blessing of the Buddha."

"Yes yes yes, Buddha bless you." Zhen Wu said with a smile, "I understand, I won't pick it."

After Zhang Yuqing tied Zhen Wu up, he pushed Zhen Wu two steps away, looked him up and down, nodded in satisfaction, then changed his mind, and started chatting with Zhen Wu about family affairs again.

"A few days ago, the Zhuangzi sent a lot of new year's goods, and the palace sent some venison and other game. You turned around and sent a copy to your aunt and the others. It was the first time for them to celebrate the New Year in Beiping, and another incident happened in their hometown. For such a big matter, you must remember to pay more attention to it, and don't be negligent."

"By the way, there are Er Xian, Si Yatou, and Wu Yatou. You also need to choose some new year gifts and send them over in person. Mother knows you are busy, but these families are our closest relatives. I'm busy, so I have to spare some time for a walk. If your wife is willing, it's best to bring Yuying with you. She has a good relationship with your sisters. After she passes by, she will not only give your sisters face, but also talk to them about their hearts. To be honest, my mother is not worried about Si Yatou, but Er Xian and Wu Yatou, you also know their temperament, if there is any grievance, you just press it to your heart, you ask Yuying to help you ask, if there is any What grievances, you, as brothers and sisters-in-law, have to support them..."

Zhang Yuqing babbled, Zhen Wu listened quietly, echoing from time to time, and sometimes comforting Zhang Yuqing, in fact, from Zhen Wu's point of view, his family's in-laws would definitely not wrong the Zhen family's daughter.

But Zhen Wu came here this time to chat with Zhang Yuqing, so naturally Zhang Yuqing had a good time.

After Zhang Yuqing nagged for a long time, she breathed a sigh of satisfaction, and the smile on her face became more intense. It seemed that she was able to share happy moments with her son less and less, which made her Make a special memory of this opportunity.

Only then did Zhang Yuqing realize that Xiao Liu, who was at the side, had been drooping with a sullen little face.

Zhang Yuqing asked curiously, "Hey, what's wrong with my sixth girl?"

Xiao Liu glared at Zhen Wu, and complained to Zhang Yuqing, "My brother won't give me money."

"Yo, what am I doing?"

Zhang Yuqing smiled indifferently, and said with a big voice: "Isn't it short of money? If your elder brother doesn't give it to you, your mother will give it to you. We won't get angry with your brother. It's the Chinese New Year now, so don't be sad."

As soon as these words fell, Zhen Wu raised his brows. He was a little unhappy that Zhang Yuqing gave Xiao Liu some money. He wanted to control Xiao Liu's consumption concept, otherwise, if Xiao Liu was allowed to develop like this, what would happen in the future? Sample.

But he looked at Zhang Yuqing's appearance, but it was not easy to refute Zhang Yuqing's words in front of Xiaoliu.

Xiao Liu didn't care so much, when he heard Zhang Yuqing's words, he immediately jumped up from the stool in surprise, and looked at Zhang Yuqing to testify again excitedly.

"Mother, you are not allowed to lie to me."

"When did Mother ever lie to you?" Zhang Yuqing said generously, "Tell me, how much does it cost?"

Xiao Liu counted with his fingers for a while, then said to Zhang Yuqing with a smile on his face, "Ten taels, ten taels is enough."

However, the words just fell.

Zhang Yuqing's surprised voice sounded high.

"what?!"

Zhang Yuqing looked at Xiaoliu with disbelief: "Ten taels?! My dear, you little girl, why do you need so much money?"

Xiao Liu was taken aback, scratched his head and asked tentatively, "How about five taels?"

"Five or two?"

Zhang Yuqing refused and said: "No way, I will give you a consistent amount of money at most. I have to think about it for a while, and if you don't tell me clearly what you are using the money for, I won't give it."

"what?"

Xiao Liu's face became bitter again, she knew her mother, if a copper coin could be broken in half, if she told the truth what to do with the money, it would definitely be useless.

But Zhen Wu let out a gloating laugh, he realized that he was thinking too much, it was much harder for Xiao Liu to get a large amount of money from Zhang Yuqing than to pester him.

He deliberately winked at Xiao Liu, then shook his head, said goodbye to Zhang Yuqing with peace of mind, and went back to his courtyard.

He suddenly realized that Xiao Liu, this girl, as long as he doesn't pamper her.

Xiao Liu will never fail.

……

In the next few days, amidst the lively atmosphere in Beiping City, the situation changed, and there was a lot of white sadness in silence. The list of soldiers who died in battle was gradually finalized, and pensions were slowly distributed to the families of every soldier who died in battle.

And these families also began to get busy with funeral arrangements.

On this day, Zhen Wu personally came to express his condolences to Li Si. He felt a little guilty for Li Si, probably because of the earnest conversation he had with Li Si when he left Zhuozhou City.

He asked Li Si to try his best to guard Zhuozhou City and help Beiping buy time.

He didn't know the reason for Li Si's death in battle, how many factors were involved in his words, but because he knew Li Si's ability, Zhen Wu couldn't help feeling a little more guilty.

Even Zhen Wu sometimes assumed that without his words, would Li Si have evacuated earlier, and if he had evacuated, would Li Si not have died in battle.

And if Li Si hadn't been killed in battle, he should be able to become an earl when Jing Nan succeeds, but now everything has become a if.

Li Si's home is in the military household area in the south of the city. When Zhen Wu came here, he saw a lot of white paper money swirling in the air in the alley. There are three families with white lanterns hanging at the door.

Zhen Wu sighed, suppressed the feelings in his heart, walked into Li Si's home, and after offering incense to Li Si according to the etiquette, he turned and looked at the two ten-year-old children left by Li Si.

Li Si's daughter-in-law and old mother have been paying attention to Zhen Wu. Seeing Zhen Wu's movements, the two of them hurriedly brought their two children to Zhen Wu's side, and invited Zhen Wu to chat in the side room.

Zhen Wu nodded, took the children from the two of them, and took one with each hand to the side room.

Cao Xiaoman, who had been with Zhen Wu all this time, couldn't help but his eyes turned red when he saw this scene. He seemed to think of the scene when his father was sent back by Zhen Wu.

Soldiers have been passed on from generation to generation, even if it is just for the sake of living, they have to squeeze into the army from generation to generation, desperately trying to support the family.

Cao Xiaoman suddenly realized that in a blink of an eye, he too had grown up.

After Zhen Wu and others arrived at the side room, he sat down on the stool and kindly asked about the situation of the two children.

The eldest is called Li Ping, who is ten years old this year, and the second is called Li An, who is eight years old this year.

Among them, to Zhen Wu's surprise, Li Ping, the boss of Li Si's family, actually knew Xiao Qi from his family.

However, Zhen Wu then suddenly understood that Xiao Qi was only 12 years old this year and was similar to Li Ping, plus they both lived in Beiping City, so it was not surprising to see him.

Speaking of which, Li Siben was one of the hundred households of Yanshan Qianwei in Beiping, one of the seven guards in Beiping City. After Zhen Wu and others captured the Nine Gates of Beiping, Zhu Di was surrendered. Later, with Zhu Di breaking through Juyong Pass and destroying Song Zhong, Finally, because of his meritorious service, he was arranged to be a general in Zhuozhou.

And Li Si and Zhen Wu knew each other very early. In the early years, they went out to fight with Zhu Di together. Li Si was one of the few people who could catch Zhen Wu's eyes. Zhen Wu had praised Li Si to others.

Now, Zhen Wu can only sigh silently.

But this made Zhen Wu Aiwu and Wu like Li Ping more and more, so Zhen Wu said to him kindly: "In the future, if you have nothing to do, you can go to my house to play with my Xiao Qi. My Xiao Qi is often idle at home. If you go and play with him, he will be happy."

"Is it really possible?" Li Ping asked with some confidence.

Among the children of their age in Beiping City, Xiaoqi of the Zhen family is the most powerful and powerful. In the past, many children crowded in front of Xiaoqi of the Zhen family, but Xiaoqi of the Zhen family was a bit arrogant and only played with people he knew well. .

Zhen Wu smiled and said: "Of course, I will ask him to invite you in person later."

Brothers Li Ping and Li An were a little excited for a while, but then they remembered the death of their father, and their emotions sank again.

But Li Si's daughter-in-law and old mother know better the truth that the living must look forward.

Zhen Wu's words are not intended to be a kind of care for his own children. If his own children have a close relationship with the Zhen family's Xiaoqi, let's not talk about the future in the future. Just because someone wants to bully, we must weigh the Zhen family. Xiaoqi's joy and anger.

The importance of Xiao Qi's happiness and anger may not be worth mentioning, but what about Zhen Wu, the eldest brother behind Xiao Qi of the Zhen family?
You must know that Zhen Wugui is now a county horse, and he is also the commander of the capital. He is the right general in the army and commands an army of [-].

Not to mention that no one dared to provoke Zhen Wu, even if he took seven or eight turns to connect with Zhen Wu, ordinary people would not dare to provoke him.

Li Si's wife and old mother quickly asked Li Ping and Li An to thank Zhen Wu.

Zhen Wu waved his hand and said that there is no need to be like this, then he let the two children go out first, and said to Li Si's wife: "I came here to give you two reassurance, now that Li Ping is not yet a child, Li Si's position of Thousand Households will not be available for the time being, but you don't have to worry, it belongs to Li Ping, no one can take it away, I will keep it in my heart."

Li Si's daughter-in-law couldn't help but burst into tears. She was under a lot of pressure these days. Li Si's old subordinates and comrades-in-arms who had a good relationship all died in Zhuozhou City. With no contacts in the army, she has no ability to help her child keep Li Si's position.

In the past few days, the widows of Li Si's old subordinates have often come to her to cry, but she has no other way, she can't protect herself, but now that she has Zhen Wu's words, she can breathe a sigh of relief.

Because Zhen Wu's words not only gave her hope, but also the children left behind by Li Si's old subordinates. Help the sons of his father's former subordinates.

"Thank you General You, thank you General You." Li Si's daughter-in-law said repeatedly.

Zhen Wu waved his hand: "It doesn't have to be like this, it's all what I should do."

Li Si's old mother was also very grateful: "General You's move is tantamount to saving my whole family. My family will never forget it. We two women must also teach Ping'er well so that he will live up to General You's high expectations." .”

"It really doesn't have to be like this." Zhen Wu sighed.

But Li Si's daughter-in-law and old mother refused to listen to Zhen Wu's persuasion, and kept thanking Zhen Wu, which made Zhen Wu's heart a little more blocked. Tiandi, everything can only be said that things are impermanent.

Afterwards, Zhen Wu comforted Li Si's daughter-in-law and old mother for a while, and then offered to leave, but when Zhen Wu was about to leave, Li Si's daughter-in-law suddenly said in a tangled voice: "General You, I have I want to ask the right general for help, I don’t know if it’s okay?”

Zhen Wu paused, and then asked: "What's the matter? You can speak out."

Li Si's daughter-in-law struggled for a while before she said: "My concubine's husband used to tell the children how he fought and beheaded him every time he came back from a battle, but this time the army gave us a rather vague report. I only said that my concubine's husband was trapped in the enemy's line, and he was exhausted, so I want to ask the right general to tell me what my concubine's husband went through when he was in Zhuozhou City and how much he was beheaded. I want to tell my children these things Listen, one is to let the children remember their father's bravery, and the other is to let the children learn from their father's lessons."

Li Si's daughter-in-law was talking, tears came out again, and she asked Zhen Wu weakly: "I don't know if I make such a request, I can make it difficult for the right general?"

Zhen Wu was taken aback, and then said: "It's not difficult, but I was not in Zhuozhou City at the beginning, so I don't know the details of the battle, but don't be disappointed, sister-in-law. I will go find a detailed battle report, and I will let you Someone will bring it to you."

"In this case, I would like to thank General You."

"You're welcome." After Zhen Wu finished speaking, he stopped staying and walked out with Cao Xiaoman and others.

After getting outside, Zhen Wu thought for a while, if the battle of Zhuozhou City is the clearest one, it should be Li Rang, but his sense of Li Rang, since the last time we met in Xiong County, can no longer be said to be good .

But he had to do his best to answer Li Si's daughter-in-law. Finally, Zhen Wu thought about it and walked towards Yang Jing's house.

If it is clear about the specific battle in Zhuozhou City, apart from Li Rang, it must be Yang Jing, Zhu Di's spy.
