Daming: From the end of Hongwu

Chapter 29 029 - Homecoming
Beiping City, Zhen Wu's house.

Their house is next to the south corner of the city, and the conditions of the people in this area are relatively average. Green brick houses with earthen walls are very common, and Zhen Wu's house looks the most miserable.

The soil on the outer courtyard wall has fallen layer after layer.

There are also wooden doors, because of the wind and rain, not only the paint color has long since disappeared, but the wood has also been retting to reveal a single wooden thorn.

A little girl stood by the wooden door, compared her height to the scratches on the wooden door, and put her palms against her head to measure the distance from the scratches. After measuring several times in a row, the little girl still raised her mouth sullenly.

"Oh, it's still a little bit close, the eldest brother will lie, it's not easy to grow at all."

At the same time, there was a sigh in the room.

Zhang Yuqing looked at the matchmaker sitting opposite, and couldn't help arguing: "My eldest girl, what's wrong, why doesn't the Zhang family give the bride price, you are her aunt, don't you know how to speak a few words of justice for her? "

The matchmaker sighed again: "My sister, I've said it's a shame, so people are willing, we are all military households, who can't find out, the eldest girl was divorced by others, although we know it's not the eldest girl's problem , but who doesn’t have a drum in their hearts.”

"Then you can't spoil my eldest daughter, don't give a bride price, and want to get married, there's no way." Zhang Yuqing's rare stubbornness, presumably, can only be like this when it concerns a few of her children.

"My sister, do you know what other people say, even if our eldest girl can't see anything on the outside, no one will dislike her on the inside, now the Zhang family agrees, but they don't give the bride price, or you are confused, don't want to The dowry is only a few dollars, and the important thing is to marry well, Zhang family boy, I saw you, and you are in good spirits, "

Zhang Yuqing shook her head like a rattle drum: "No, I can't let the second child be looked down upon before he is married. If I agree to this, then don't you admit that there is something wrong with my girl?"

"Then if our conditions are lowered, I still know a few old bachelors."

When Zhang Yuqing heard this, she was almost anxious: "Auntie, you can't do this."

"But you..." The matchmaker was too embarrassed to speak.

Zhang Yuqing was in a hurry and couldn't help it. After thinking for a while, he took out some money, forced it into the matchmaker's hand, and said, "Auntie, please help me out."

"Ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai

Outside the door, Erxian listened to the commotion inside, couldn't help but hid in the kitchen and cried secretly, but just after crying for a while, the fourth child and fifth child started arguing outside.

Er Xian quickly wiped away his tears and ran out: "What are you arguing about?"

"Look at the fifth child who spilled the water." The fourth child complained.

The fifth child curled his lips and said aggrievedly: "The water is so cold, how can I wash clothes? My hands can't bear it, so I accidentally splashed it. Why do you blame me?"

Er Xian sighed, gently shook Lao Wu's cold little hand, and then pulled Lao Wu aside.

"Second Sister, come and wash it. You can help Second Sister twist it in a while." After speaking, Erxian sat down and began to wash.

On a winter day, the well water, which was originally warm, was tapped out and left for a while in the twelfth lunar month, until it was so cold that it would go straight to the bone. Erxian gritted her teeth and couldn't help shivering. She smiled wryly, Endure, as if born to bear these sufferings.

At this time, Zhang Yuqing sent the matchmaker out.

As soon as he came to the courtyard, he saw Xiao Liu wearing brand new clothes, rubbing back and forth on the wooden door, and immediately became angry.

After a few steps, he came to Xiao Liu, picked up the little girl, and spanked her ass.

"Wearing new clothes again, how many times have I told you, this is for the New Year, who told you to wear it again."

Xiao Liu is also skinny, twisting and refusing to admit cowardice.

"Why don't you let me wear new clothes."

Zhang Yuqing saw that Xiaoliu was unrepentant and couldn't be cured by beating her. She turned to look at the other daughters, and said angrily, "Don't you all know how to look at her? What are you doing every day?"

The fourth child stuck his neck: "You just let me watch Xiao Qi, and you didn't let me take care of Xiao Liu."

Erxian also said helplessly: "Mother, don't you look at how busy I am this day, how can I have time to take care of her, besides, it's not like you don't know her, and you put it on again in a blink of an eye, who is in a hurry."

Xiao Qi, who was in the arms of the fourth child, saw the lively scene, and burst into tears too.

The whole house was full of noise and excitement for a while.

At this moment, the sound of horseshoes came from not far away, Xiao Liu had sharp eyes, and saw Zhen Wu from a distance, and broke free from Zhang Yuqing's grasp all at once.

Xiao Liu lost his eyes when he smiled, and shouted at Zhen Wu: "Big brother, big brother."

This time it bluffed everyone.

Both Zhang Yuqing and Er Xian dropped their work and went to the door to look at Zhen Wu who came riding from the entrance of the alley.

Zhen Wu approached and got off his horse.

Seeing that Xiao Liu rushed towards him, he felt so happy all over, he laughed and hugged Xiao Liu and turned around.

Zhang Yuqing looked at Zhen Wu, his eyes turned red instantly.

Then I heard Xiao Liu complaining to Zhen Wu.

"Big Brother, Big Brother, do you think my new clothes look good? My mother is so mean that she won't let me wear them. She's almost mad at me."

It was only then that Zhen Wu realized that Xiao Liu's accent had improved a lot since he hadn't seen him for a few months.

He hasn't had time to speak yet.

Zhang Yuqing rushed over and wanted to beat up Xiaoliu again: "With you as a girl, your mother will be pissed to death."

Xiao Liu only hides behind Zhen Wu.

Zhen Wu stopped Zhang Yuqing with a smile: "Mother, it's not worth it, let her wear it if she likes it."

"You said it's light. Now that you wear it, is it possible to make her a new one on the first day of the new year? With this money, there is no such time." Zhang Yuqing rolled his eyes.

"Then find a place that makes clothes and buy another one for the little girl. No, I'll buy another one for you." Zhen Wu said indifferently.

These words made the eyes of the four and five who were crowded by the door light up.

"What nonsense?" Zhang Yuqing said angrily to Zhen Wu, "Don't be silly outside, let people who don't know hear it, and think our family is rich, so we'll talk about it when we go home first."

"and many more."

Zhen Wu took the reward from King Yan from his horse, and handed it to Zhang Yuqing with a smile: "Look, the reward from King Yan, take a closer look at this cloth, it's hard to buy even if you have money, so much, give it to our family You can make as many clothes as you want.”

Zhang Yuqing glanced at it, and quickly covered it again.

I drop well.

Something rewarded by the palace? !

The matchmaker next to her was also envious after seeing it. The ladies like these cloths these days.

Zhen Wu was taken aback, and said, "Hey, isn't this Aunt Zhang? You're not busy today, come to visit?"

The matchmaker's smiling eyes couldn't bear to move away from Bu's body. Thinking that Zhen Wu's family also wanted her, she straightened her back and said: "The visit is secondary, mainly for the marriage of your two sages."

"Someone proposed a marriage? Which family?" Zhen Wu asked curiously.

The matchmaker shook her head: "It's impossible, but you have these good cloths in your house, and I see that you still have jewelry, so it's not a problem to talk about a good marriage."

These words immediately made Zhen Wu happy.

"What's the matter, my family's second virtuous is getting married, and my family is required to send cloth, but jewelry is not acceptable."

When the matchmaker heard this, she became a little anxious, for fear that Zhen Wu would think it was such a simple matter, without even thinking about it, and regardless of the two sages who were right by her side, she opened her mouth and balked, regardless of the occasion.

"How easy do you think this job is? If it weren't for the close relationship between our two families, my aunt would not be willing to work." The matchmaker always liked to talk, relying on a pair of mouths that can speak nonsense, and now she opened her mouth, let alone accept it. Zhu: "Besides, it's not like you don't know that your family was divorced by the Ni family, and the Ni family is still a family of hundreds of households. It is a serious official who eats at the court. Others will say that your family is second Xian, can you not weigh it?"

Erxian's face turned pale.

Hearing this, Zhang Yuqing couldn't hold back.

And Zhen Wu's originally smiling expression suddenly sank.

Humph.

It's ridiculous.

"In that case, my family won't bother you, but it's a coincidence that I happened to make some contributions a few days ago. I was promoted to a hundred households, and I became a serious official in the court. With the imperial court's food, he Ni Liang only has a hundred households, it's not that I haven't beaten hundreds of households, I don't believe there is anything to be coaxed, because no one dares to come to propose marriage because of this matter."

With that said, Zhen Wu also pointed to the military horse riding back.

"Did you see that the border army horses assigned by the imperial court, if someone wants to marry a cub in the future, they have to be worth clear, and they have to investigate clearly."

The matchmaker was instantly stunned.

Official status is different from ordinary military households.

Zhang Yuqing was also stunned, in a daze, only one sentence remained in his mind.

My son is now an officer? !

　There are a lot of things to do at work, and I have a cold, and I just wrote the plot of the end of the year, and I feel like a long grass in my heart. I want to have a vacation. This mentality... In short, it is hard to describe.

　　Here, I would like to thank you, the suit or the white shirt, a bag of cigarettes, and the rewards of several other book friends. At the same time, I would also like to thank the book friends who voted for me, recommended tickets, and active in the comment area.

　　Thank you!

　　I will remember these IDs.

　　In the end, I still guarantee that I will settle down to conceive Zhen Wu's life carefully, and the scenes you expect will come true one by one.
