Daming: From the end of Hongwu

330 Chapter 328 - The Pursued Jin Yiwei
Inside the old house of the Zhen family.

After the crowd dispersed like a tide, only the Zhen family members were left in the courtyard, which made the courtyard look empty for a while.

Zhen Wu had a sudden whim and wanted to take a tour of the house, so he began to wander around the house with his heart. As he wandered around more and more places, Zhen Wu somehow became interested in the house. strange feelings.

Perhaps it is because many of the objects in this house look old, or the eaves have been repaired several times and the paint surface has been repaired several times, so that Zhen Wu seems to feel the traces of the predecessors living here.

Zhen Wu found a rocking chair, sat on it and lay down, the rocking chair swayed with a trace of peace.

And he felt this house, as if he was reading a book with profound charm, which was filled with stories of the joys, sorrows and sorrows of the predecessors.

There is something interesting about it, and it makes people enjoy it.

Wait until dinner time.

Zhen Wu came out of that state of mind. Zhu Yuying and the others had already bought the ingredients and prepared the meals. When Zhen Wu came to the yard here, Xiao Liu and Xiao Qi were sitting staring at each other.

Xiao Liu imitated the posture he learned from Zhen Wu a while ago and looked at Xiao Qi. Xiao Qi only felt that his sixth sister was really looking more and more like a big brother. Just such a simple glance of eyes made him feel A little bit of anxiety when facing the big brother.

Xiao Qi became more and more uncomfortable, and finally couldn't help getting up and wanting to stay away from Xiao Liu.

But he didn't pay attention and bumped into Zhen Wu who had just walked over.

"What are you doing, in a hurry." Zhen Wu scolded.

Xiao Qi was speechless.

Zhen Wu cast a glance at Xiaoliu who was acting like a monster, and he roughly understood the cause. He frowned and said, "You said how old you are, and you are still so afraid of your sixth sister. Fortunately, you are still a man. You usually practice more arrows on weekdays." It's not like this if you use your fists and feet."

Xiao Qi felt distressed, why didn't he practice? After all these years, if he hadn't practiced diligently, he might be bullied by Sixth Sister.

But no way.

Who made him the youngest.

Xiao Liu greeted him at this moment, smiled sweetly at Zhen Wu and said, "Brother, I have been cleaning the yard with my sister-in-law and the others just now, look, I still have sweat on my face."

"Hehe, so good?" Zhen Wu was a little surprised.

Xiao Liu proudly said: "Of course." She was acting good to Zhen Wu, and at the same time secretly gave Zhen Wu a glance at Xiao Qi.

Xiao Qi couldn't help but rolled his eyes. He looked at Sixth Sister, who looked completely different in front of him than in front of his elder brother, and felt that this house was really too dark.

He couldn't help thinking of the boundless sea that Sanbao had told him about, and suddenly there was longing in his eyes.

Sixth Sister is most afraid of water.

Perhaps only if he conquers the sea, Sixth Sister will treat him like a big brother.

……

During the meal, Aunt Tang suddenly said that she wanted to stay in Wuji. Zhen Wu stared at Tang in a daze. This house suddenly doesn't want to leave. Don't blame my aunt for being self-willed. My aunt is getting old, and after all, she is a little nostalgic for her former residence. What's more, the family property is a mess now. You must have someone you trust to take care of it, and repair the ancestral grave , Our master's house can't be left alone all the time, so why don't you just stay here, and I can help you along the way."

Zhen Wu didn't speak.

The aunt smiled and said: "It's not that my aunt doesn't want to live with you, nor does she complain about your care. Speaking of which, you and my wife treat me very well, but it's just that my aunt lives here. For most of my life, I really hate being here."

Zhang Yuqing said anxiously and worriedly: "How can this be done? If you are alone here, what if you make a mistake, then when you go underground, his father will also have to blame our mothers."

"Brothers and sisters, don't persuade me."

Tang said earnestly: "This is what I want, how can the second brother blame you, I know you are worried about me, but you don't have to worry too much, I have lived here for so many years, now my hands and feet are healthy, I won't What's the problem, if you are worried, why not wait until a few years later, if I feel exhausted, then I will go to Nanjing to find you, do you think this is good?"

Zhen Wu looked at Tang's serious look, and after thinking about it, he asked, "Auntie, have you really thought about it?"

Tang nodded.

Zhen Wudao: "That's fine, then I will leave some trustworthy people for Auntie to take care of you, if someday you don't want to be here anymore, or want to go out for a walk, please write to me, and I will send someone to pick you up. "

"Okay, Auntie knows that Dawu is filial."

Tang smiled from the bottom of her heart, but after laughing for a moment, she slowly withdrew her smiling face, and her face became a bit tangled. After thinking about it, she still opened her mouth and said to Zhen Wu: "Auntie has something to say, I don’t know if I should say it or not.”

"You say."

The Tang family organized the language and said: "My aunt knows that you have some disdain for your relatives because of the old man's affairs, but my aunt still wants you, don't blame all the people in the clan, there are still good people in the clan, and the old man also I have taken care of quite a few clansmen, but when the incident happened suddenly and several clan elders forced each other, it seemed that the clansmen were at odds, and our family didn't have much relatives to help each other, but this was a special situation after all, so my aunt didn't want to let Your relationship with all the clansmen is too stiff. In the final analysis, you are an ancestor. After Auntie stays, she also wants to help you get closer to some clansmen. After all, your prestige is a bit too cruel. Auntie If you show some kindness to you, it will also make those people believe in you more sincerely."

Speaking of this, Tang sighed and said: "Auntie also knows that you are capable, maybe you will never need them in your life, but what if? Or what if the future descendants don't live up to it, maybe today you will have more people with your tribe." These good fortunes can be exchanged for rewards in the future, what do you think?"

Zhen Wu thought for a while, and after a moment of silence, nodded and said: "Auntie said yes, then I will trouble Auntie."

The aunt probably smiled happily because she was able to help Zhen Wu, "Thank you, we are all a family, if we do, we all eat, look at me and just talk, which actually delayed everyone's meal. "

Seeing that Xiao Liu and Xiao Qi had finished talking about their business, they took the lead in moving their chopsticks.

After the meal, Zhen Wu walked alone in the courtyard to digest food. While walking, Zhang Yuqing came to his side. Zhang Yuqing didn't speak, only sighed vigorously.

Zhen Wu was disturbed.

"Oh, my mother, what's the matter with you, you can just say no to your son directly, and let others see you with this gesture, and think that your son's unfilial piety makes you angry."

"Bah, bah, who dares to gossip about my son."

Zhang Yuqing stared at her with feinted anger, and then got down to business with some embarrassment: "Boss, your aunt has been with me all these years, and I understand her thoughts a little bit, so I want to discuss it with you, wait a minute." In the future, if you have more grandchildren, I will give you one for your aunt? Or if you have another girl you like, take it in and hang it on your aunt's branch. Your aunt's life will not be easy. If I were her , I don’t know what’s going on, I’m afraid I’ve already lost my temper.”

Zhen Wu didn't speak.

Zhang Yuqing said to herself: "It's just that I feel a little sorry for Yuying. Whether it's an adoptive child or accepting someone into the house, my mother always feels that I have lost Yuying. You said what our family was like back then. Yuying's majestic princess did not dislike you at all. , so she married into our family, and these years, she has treated me and your brothers and sisters with all her heart. Mother really doesn't want to do anything to be sorry for Yuying, but... well, mother doesn't want to do anything wrong. Now that you know what to do, forget it, if you don’t mess with it, you’ll get upset, let’s talk about it later, at worst, pick one from the third and the seventh.”

As he said that, Zhang Yuqing turned his head and left again. Zhen Wu opened his mouth looking at Zhang Yuqing's back. He didn't say a word, why did he leave?

Not only that, but Zhang Yuqing's own murmur came from not far away: "It's too late for Xiao Qi to have a child, but the third child is too disappointing, why haven't I had a grandson for all these years, no way , after meeting Lao San in the capital this time, I have to have a good chat with Lao San..."

Zhen Wu couldn't laugh or cry.

This old lady, throwing away such a carousel of words, can it be possible to pretend that it never happened? !

They stayed in the old house that night, and the next day, Zhen Wu took his family to the ancestral grave to worship the ancestors and the old man, and then took time to meet with Jia Wen and other officials again, including The military officer of the guard, and then, Zhen Wu's affairs in Wuji have basically been dealt with.

In the afternoon of that day, Zhen Wu and the others hurried on the road again to chase Xu Miaoyun, Zhu Gaochi and the others.

He came and left in such a hurry, even though he stayed for a short time, he left a rumor that became more and more outrageous to the people of Wuji County.

All the arrogant Zhen's children, in front of Zhao Guogong, behaved like a grandson.

How weak and cowardly those Zhen's children were in front of Zhen Wu, there were versions one after another, and each version set off Zhen Wu's majesty and arrogance.

Some are even off the charts.

But even so, none of the members of the Zhen family dared to defend and declare, as if they were willing to play the role of the clown in these rumors.

Some people are even complacent about it.

After all, not just any one person can be related to Zhao Guogong.

And just after Zhen Wu and other people left the city, a small banner officer guarding the city gate in Wuji County looked at Zhen Wu's people who were going further and further away, and his whole face became extremely disappointed, which even caused the whole People seem to have lost their spirit, lifeless.

When the Zhen family changed drastically, he helped the Tang family and others out of the city. At that time, the Tang family said to him that they would be rewarded every day. He didn't take it seriously at first. After entering the city of Nanjing, especially after learning that Zhen Wu had become the duke of the state, he couldn't bear to take seriously what Tang said that there would be a big reward in the future.

He was anxiously looking forward to it day and night.

He guessed what he would get in return, from the promotion that he dared to imagine when he gritted his teeth at the beginning, to the large reward later, it has been narrowed down to the fact that he only hopes that the nobleman can speak for him, so that the stubborn old man Liu will give him a big reward. Just marry his daughter.

But Zhao Guogong came and left again. What he expected, nothing happened.

A colleague next to him patted him on the shoulder at this time, jokingly said: "What? Ever since the Lord of the Zhen family came to Wuji yesterday, you have been out of your mind, why, you are an eighth Relatives who can’t be hit by poles, is it possible that they still hope that Zhao Guogong will see you? If you want me to say, you should guard the city honestly, people like us will be guarding the city gates all their lives.”

He smiled wryly.

But at this moment, Qianhu from Zhendingwei Wuji Qianhu Office hurried to the city gate, shouting anxiously and expectantly: "Who is Zhen Daqiang?"

The little flag officer was taken aback.

He hastily stepped forward and said, "Report to Wu Qianhu and name him Zhen Daqiang."

Wu Qianhu's eyes lit up immediately, looking at Zhen Daqiang as if he was looking at a peerless treasure, then Wu Qianhu couldn't bear it anymore, put his arms around Zhen Daqiang's arm, and said kindly: "Brother Daqiang! , To tell you the truth, I have noticed you a long time ago. You are really a young talent with outstanding ability. My brother came here to look for you today, just to tell you good news. I just ran down the appointment for you today. From now on, you will be one of the hundred households of the Hundred Households Office in the north of the city."

"Ah?" Zhen Daqiang was dumbfounded.

Everyone present was dumbfounded.

In this world, how come there is such a thing as Qianhu personally coming to see off officials?

The colleague who spoke to Zhen Daqiang just now was also dumbfounded.

This...this...impossible.

Everyone is destined to guard the city gate, how could Zhen Daqiang become a hundred households?

Wu Qianhu turned a blind eye to the surprise present.

"Oh, what, let's go, I'll take you to go through the process, don't be nervous, it's easy to be a hundred households, in the future, in your hundred households, whenever someone blows up with you, you come and tell your brother I, my brother beat his mother and didn't even know him."

"No, Wu Qianhu, I..."

"What kind of family is Wu, called brother, what? Look down on me, brother? It's right to look down on me. After finishing the process in a while, let's find a place to worship as brothers. It's a coincidence. When brother sees you, he thinks of me. Younger brother who died young, you look exactly alike, if nothing else, you will be my own brother from now on, and you will treat me as your own brother." Wu Qianhu dragged Zhen Daqiang along while walking.

When Zhen Daqiang was stunned, there was only one thought left. The promotion he had imagined before had actually come true.

This…

Zhao Guogong gave too much, too generous.

Wu Qianhu is also very happy at the moment. There is a hundred households under him who can have a relationship with Zhao Guogong. What does this mean, let alone other things. Help.

After Zhen Daqiang finished the appointment process, Wu Qianhu forced him to become a brother, and then Zhen Daqiang couldn't bear it anymore, he wanted to tell his beloved Miss Liu about it immediately.

He has loved her with inferiority for many years.

He wanted her to see his future, and his love to blossom and bear fruit.

Zhen Daqiang ran to the door of Old Man Liu's house in a hundred-household uniform, calling Miss Liu's name loudly.

Everyone in Liu's family, as well as the neighbors in the neighborhood, were all alarmed. Everyone came out and looked at Zhen Daqiang in a brand-new hundred household uniform, puzzled.

Zhen Daqiang took a deep breath, as if he was releasing the emotions that had been suppressed for many years, and shouted at Miss Liu, as if swearing: "Miss Liu, I want to marry you, I, Zhen Daqiang, can finally give you happiness now. "

……

On the other side, Zhen Wu and the others did not stop on the road, they galloped all the way, and at night, they had already left the real boundary, Zhen Wu chose a post station on the official road as a rest adjustment.

It was very tiring to travel all the way, so Zhen Wu and the others had a quick wash after eating, and then went to rest early.

But in the middle of the night, Zhen Wu was awakened suddenly by a knock on the door.

As soon as he moved, Zhu Yuying also woke up, Zhen Wu patted her, and said softly: "Go on to sleep, I'll go out and have a look."

"Did something happen?" Zhu Yuying asked with some concern.

Zhen Wu comforted: "Don't worry, nothing serious will happen." While talking, he simply put on his clothes and walked outside.

After arriving outside the door, Zhen Wu hissed at Cheng Liang first, then took Cheng Liang a few steps to the side to ensure that the room would not be disturbed again, and then asked: "What need to disturb me?"

Cheng Liang opened his mouth and said, "Reporting to Duke Guo, there was some movement at the back of the post station a while ago, the sergeant on duty went to investigate and rescued a father and daughter by accident."

"save?"

Cheng Liang nodded and said: "Yes, there are five or six people chasing and killing the father and daughter. The most important thing is that the father, who claims to be Jin Yiwei, is seriously injured and is dying."

Zhen Wu frowned suddenly: "Who is chasing him?"

"I don't know. The person on duty was worried about transferring the tiger away from the mountain, so he didn't force them to stay, and let them all escape. I tried to ask the Jin Yiwei, but he was in a bad situation at the moment, and he only said that he wanted me to be the master, otherwise he I won’t say anything,” Cheng Liang said.

There's something interesting about this.

Jin Yiwei's people will be hunted down unexpectedly.

Zhen Wu became interested, he raised his eyebrows and said: "Go, go and have a look."

After finishing speaking, Zhen Wu waved his hand and asked Cheng Liang to lead the way towards the rescued Jin Yiwei.
