Daming: From the end of Hongwu

283 Chapter 281 - Little Seven
The weather is getting colder and colder with time, and the New Year is getting closer and closer.

Ever since Zhen Wu learned of the Zhuozhou city battle report, his mood has not improved. He has always kept a cold face on the outside, which makes everyone in Zhen's mansion more cautious when they should be celebrating.

No one was afraid of accidentally offending Zhen Wu because of a small mishap.

Zhen Wu, the head of the family, obviously has a huge influence on the entire Zhen family, and his emotions can be called the barometer of the family.

Xiaoliu Xiaoqi couldn't stand the atmosphere at home at first. This morning, the two of them were noisy, avoiding the time when Zhen Wu was not around, they found Zhu Yuying, and asked their elder brother why he was angry, but Zhu Yuying was also angry. Confused.

Seeing this, Xiao Liu spread her discouragement on the table. She didn't like the state of the house, and she had to suppress her temper even when she was playing. This made Xiao Liu, who was already cheerful, very uncomfortable.

The next moment, Xiao Liu suddenly stretched out her green hand, grabbed Xiao Qi's ear and began to complain, she frowned and said angrily, "You must have made Big Brother angry, you go and apologize to Big Brother."

"I don't, it's not me, I'm not going."

Xiao Qi's heart skipped a beat, and she just waved her hands in a panic, even though Xiao Liu's ears were twisted, she seemed to have developed resistance, neither struggling nor screaming for pain.

Xiao Liu's brows furrowed even harder, he stood up and looked down at Xiao Qi in disbelief.

Xiao Qi became even more flustered when he was watched, and quickly wondered if he had done something outside these days to let Zhen Wu know, but after thinking about it, he became more and more determined. handle.

Xiao Qi, who had figured this out, didn't waste time arguing with Xiao Liu, turned around and looked at Zhu Yuying confidently, and complained: "Sister-in-law, look at my sixth sister, please take care of my sixth sister, she will know how to make trouble for no reason. , you punish her and detain her in the yard."

After saying this, he patted his chest and added affirmatively: "I swear, it's definitely not me who made big brother angry."

Good guy.

Xiao Liuqi's big eyes narrowed, he gritted his little white teeth, and said, "Give me some eye drops again, I think you have become fat recently." Saying that, Xiao Liu rolled up his sleeves and planned to tidy up Xiaoqi.

However, as soon as he moved, he was stopped by Zhu Yuying.

"Okay, what are you two doing? The matter of your elder brother is not enough for me to worry about. If you two continue to make trouble, you two will be detained and will not be released during the Chinese New Year."

This sentence was very intimidating to Xiaoliu and Xiaoqi. The two smiled at Zhu Yuying ingratiatingly, and immediately became good brothers and sisters who loved each other again.

However, the two of them only performed for a few seconds before lazily performing again.

Xiao Liu spread it out on the table again, and muttered frowningly: "Then who made Big Brother angry? Big Brother has been at home for almost a month, so it can't be about military affairs."

Zhu Yuying was also worried. She had also asked Zhen Wu, but Zhen Wu's mouth was very tight, and no matter who she didn't want to say, she couldn't ask anyone.

But at this moment, Xiao Qi glanced at Xiao Liu and said, "Maybe it's you. You've been hiding from Big Brother some time ago and sneaked out. Who knows what you're doing."

"nonsense!"

Xiao Liu was in a hurry, but he held his head high and said firmly: "No matter what I do, Big Brother won't be angry with me."

Hey.

Seeing Xiao Liu like this, Xiao Qi was speechless, and there was no one left with such an unreasonable sister, so he asked angrily, "Then who else do you think?"

"It could be..."

Xiao Liu thought about it for a while, and suddenly came up with an idea, and tentatively said: "Could it be the third brother?" After saying this, Xiao Liu's eyes lit up, and she clapped her little hands, gradually confirming Said: "Look, the third brother just came back from the military camp some time ago, and the eldest brother was unhappy immediately. If you say it's not the third brother, who else could it be?"

Xiao Qi's eyes lit up, and he nodded in agreement as if pounding a pestle.

After the two of them came to this conclusion, there was a little joy on their faces, as if the two of them had broken through the cage that bound them, and they felt relaxed for a while.

Afterwards, the two of them put their heads together and began to discuss with great interest how to send the third brother to the eldest brother to vent their anger.

Seeing this, Zhu Yuying couldn't help shaking her head. These two younger siblings really messed around all day long. What the hell, did you think that Zhen Wu wouldn't be angry if he found someone to vent his anger on?
Just as Xiao Liu and Xiao Qi were discussing lively, Zhen Wu came back from the outside.

When he walked into the room and saw the three people, he couldn't help being taken aback, but he didn't say anything, and went to put on his coat on his own. When the three people in the room saw Zhen Wu, they all stood up in unison.

Zhu Yuying is still better.

Xiao Liu and Xiao Qi suppressed their breath a bit, not daring to be as casual as before.

The elder brother is the father.

For Xiaoliu Xiaoqi, Zhen Wuzhen is like a father. Although Zhen Wu was in a good mood, he would play with them in the same way, but when Zhen Wu's face sank, the two of them were very happy. Two points of fear from the bottom of my heart.

After all, Zhen Wu was also a general who commanded an army of tens of thousands, with a straight face, not angry but mighty, and there was no problem at all in restraining the two children.

Xiao Liu originally planned to rely on Zhen Wu to hurt her and pester her for a while, but Zhen Wu was not in the mood, so he raised his eyebrows, waved his hand, and Xiao Liu stopped pestering her with a wink, and then she greeted Xiaoqi, slowly backed out.

When the two came outside, both of them breathed a sigh of relief.

The two noticed each other's useless behavior, and when they met each other, both siblings laughed brimming with a sense of heroic sympathy, and then they walked while discussing how to trick the third child so that The third child took the initiative to vent his anger on Zhen Wu.

Under the supreme mission of sacrificing the third child and protecting the whole family, the two came up with ghost ideas one after another.

But risking it, Xiao Qi suddenly got a look on his face, and said with a bitter face: "Sister, it seems that the third brother can't be fooled."

"Why?" Xiao Liu looked at Xiao Qi with puzzled eyes.

Xiao Qi explained: "The third brother is not at home today, and the third brother is busy going to the shop and the village to inspect the past few days, so he has no time to talk to the two of us."

Xiao Liu also thought of this for a while, and after a moment of stupefaction, he sighed in annoyance.

The best punching bag is gone, and that's all.

……

In Zhen Wu's room, after he sat down, Zhu Yuying came to behind Zhen Wu with some worries, and gently squeezed Zhen Wu's shoulders, and Zhen Wu stretched out his hand to hold Zhu Yuying.

"Don't worry, I'm fine," he said.

Zhu Yuying pouted as if she was a girl, "You're fine, even Xiao Liu and Xiao Qi are worried about you, they came here early in the morning to ask why, and they said it's okay."

Zhen Wu sighed, and wanted to talk to Zhu Yuying, but this matter involved Li Rang, which made him unable to say it for a while. After thinking about it, he could only vaguely say: "It's just because of one thing, I have to Compromise, so I feel a little unwilling, which will inevitably lead to a little depression."

Zhu Yuying was stunned, she laughed, and persuaded: "Know the world without compromising. Even so, people live in the world, don't they just live a life of sophistication. Since ancient times, sages have compromised because of their full stomachs. We just compromise on some things." , what's the big deal, at most, if you are unwilling to be strong, you can make up for it in the future. It's better than you, so that the family members will also worry about it. Besides, the battlefield also pays attention to a change of strategy. Can you really live happily and recklessly?"

Zhen Wu looked at Zhu Yuying in surprise.

After Zhu Yuying came around from behind Zhen Wu, she winked mischievously at Zhen Wu, and deliberately showed a complacent look: "Did you underestimate me before? I have read many sages since I was a child." Books, it’s just that I think some of the words in the books of sages don’t make sense, and I don’t like to talk about them, otherwise I can also talk to you.”

Looking at Zhu Yuying's appearance, Zhen Wu felt inexplicably relieved, perhaps because he was used to seeing Zhu Yuying's dignified appearance in the past two years, and suddenly seeing Zhu Yuying's cuteness as a girl again, he felt very cordial and fresh.

However, Zhu Yuying's words really awakened Zhen Wu.

Li Rang is gilded, so why not compromise temporarily, life is long, and there will be more opportunities in the future.

After thinking about this, Zhen Wu's mood became clearer. He looked at Zhu Yuying's fair face, his lips were so moist that water dripped out, and he couldn't help but move his index finger.

He picked up Zhu Yuying's small face and took a bite.

Tender and slippery.

Zhen Wuba smacked his mouth twice, as if aftertaste, and joked: "You, if you belittle the books of sages and sages like this, if the scholars outside hear it, they will block our door and scold us one by one. .”

"My husband stands at the door, no matter how many scholars there are, who would dare to scold them." Zhu Yuying said proudly.

"That's true." Zhen Wu couldn't help laughing.

Seeing Zhen Wu's demeanor, Zhu Yuying knew that Zhen Wu had recovered, and felt very happy for a while.

Afterwards, the two got entangled together and chatted privately for a while. After lunch was finished, the two of them ate in a serious manner under Jin'er's eyes.

After eating, Zhen Wu went to the study.

He promised Li Si's daughter-in-law that he always had to do it. He picked up the pen and paper, thought about it quietly, and then began to write. He described Li Si's deeds in Zhuozhou City in detail, but Li Rangyin go.

Writing again will inevitably make Zhen Wu recall the battle report of Zhuozhou City again.

After Zhen Wu finished writing, he couldn't help but sighed a few more times. After adjusting for a long time, he slowed down again. He asked someone to call Xiao Qi over.

Xiaoqi was staying with Xiaoliu at the moment, when he heard Zhen Wu calling him, he was surprised instead of happy.

Among these people in the family, Xiao Qi is actually the most afraid of Zhen Wu. He usually doesn't like to join Zhen Wu when he has nothing to do, because Zhen Wu often catches him and asks him how he is doing with his homework. Questions like how long to dance the knife.

What's more, now that Zhen Wu is obviously in a bad mood, I'm afraid it's because the third brother is not here, and he's going to be used as a punching bag.

At this moment, Xiao Liu asked Jin'er enthusiastically, did Zhen Wu call her, but when she learned that Zhen Wu only called Xiao Qi, Xiao Liu suddenly became depressed, and then she hugged her Arm squinted and kept looking at Xiaoqi without saying a word.

Xiao Qi was expecting Xiao Liu to go there together, and quickly suggested: "Sister Liu, let's go to see Big Brother together?"

Unexpectedly, Xiao Liu rejected it cleanly.

"No, you didn't call me, why should I go, it's disgusting." Xiao Liu said aggrieved and angry.

What she said was so outrageous, Xiao Qi was so frightened that he didn't dare to provoke Xiao Liu anymore, for fear that before Zhen Wu's reprimand, Liu Jie would be beaten up first.

He smiled mockingly, bid farewell to Xiao Liu, and followed Jin Er to Zhen Wu's yard.

On the way, the little seven thieves inquired: "Sister Jin'er, please remind me, what is my elder brother calling me for? He doesn't mean to hit me. If he hits me, you have to help me the first time." Call my sister-in-law for a while, I'm still young, I can't stand big brother's beating, if big brother gets angry and can't let go, I'll call third brother to beat big brother later."

Jin'er smiled lightly, and comforted Xiao Qi, "Don't worry Qi Ye, the county horse seems to be in a good mood, it's not a bad thing."

After hearing this, Xiao Qi breathed a sigh of relief.

When Xiao Qi arrived at Zhen Wu's study, Zhen Wu pointed to the stool, asked Xiao Qi to sit down, and asked a few questions about Xiao Qi's situation as usual.

Along the way, Xiao Qi had already prepared his answers, and answered them fluently.

Zhen Wu looked at Xiao Qi who had been doing well recently, and his mood improved a bit. He took out the letter written by himself, handed it to Xiao Qi, and said, "You can go on an errand for me later and deliver the letter by hand. In addition, his family There are two sons, the older one is called Li Ping, the younger one is called Li An, they are about the same age as you, after you pass by you get to know the two of them well, you can invite them to come to our house to play when they are free."

Xiao Qi accepted the letter obediently, and nodded honestly.

Zhen Wu glanced at him sideways, afraid that Xiao Qi would be negligent, so he asked, "Let you and Li Ping and Li An know each other so well, do you know what it means?"

Xiao Qi really didn't pay attention to this at the beginning, he just thought that the other party had two children of his age in the other party's family, but now he heard Zhen Wu deliberately ask again.

He understood immediately.

He nodded at Zhen Wu and said, "Understood, these are the playmates my elder brother ordered for me, just like Xue Xun and the others, I can't bully them, and I have to take care of them, treat them as my own like Xue Xun."

Seeing that Xiao Qi really understood, Zhen Wu nodded reassuringly, then explained the address to Xiao Qi in detail, and finally said: "Okay, you can send it there early while it's early."

Xiaoqi responded and retreated obediently.

After he came out of Zhen Wu's courtyard, he first went back to his own courtyard to change his clothes for going out, then after thinking about it, he went to the room where he hid his treasures, planning to pick out two gifts.

After some selection, Xiaoqi chose a model of a sailboat and a dagger.

The things here are actually his favorites, otherwise he would not have collected them here. Many of them are rare things specially found by the people in the shop, such as the sailboat model, which is very exquisitely made. The materials used are also very elegant.

Not to mention how much it is worth, it is rare on the market.

Xiaoqi picked up the sailboat model, played with it a little bit reluctantly, imagined the sea he had never seen before, and finally decided to put it in a box.

In the end, Xiao Qi asked the guards to bring their things, got into the carriage and headed towards Li Si's house.

In fact, he doesn't like this kind of errand, relatively speaking, he wants to see the endless sea.

……

It's evening time.

After Zhen Wu listened to the guards and reported Xiao Qi's actions in detail, Zhen Wu couldn't help showing some pride on his face. His younger brother was smart since he was a child. It looks like it has a shape.

At least Zhen Wu and Lao San are not as good as Xiao Qi at Xiao Qi's age.

In fact, it is not to blame that Zhen Wu and the third child live in different environments. Naturally, they will gain different life experiences and experiences in the process of growing up.

For example, after his family became prosperous, in the process of interacting with some children, many children flattered and fawned on Xiao Qi, and people in the family shop called him "Qi Ye" and "Qi Ye". He naturally learned some ways to win people's hearts and deal with people from it.

Maybe he didn't think much about it at the moment, the intention of what he did.

But when he grows up in the future, these things he realized when he was a child can effectively help him walk better on the road of life.

This is the influence of the living environment, and it is also the insight brought to him by a wealthy family.

For this alone, his starting line is higher than others.
