Daming: From the end of Hongwu

Chapter 58 058 - The fate of a bowl of sweet water
The time is approaching noon.

At the gate of Zhen Wu's house, colleagues began to arrive one after another. Because Zhen Wu needed to greet guests in the house, he asked the third child to be at the door to help guide the colleagues to the East Courtyard.

When Xue Lu came over, he saw Zhang Wu, but he didn't notice that Zhang Wu's face drooped at this moment, and he frowned and complained: "I was thinking about coming here with you, but when I went to your house, you came here first."

After saying a word, he still felt unwilling, and added: "What's wrong? Does Mrs. Zhen have any flowers at home? I want you to come here early."

The others laughed coaxingly.

Zhang Wu is embarrassed.

And Zhen Wu snorted twice, but didn't make a sound to run on Zhang Wu again.

If he really wants to run, Zhang Wu will always let Zhang Wu find a hole in the ground.

It wasn't long, and the meal was ready, Zhen Wu greeted everyone to move and sit down, because the third child was not too young, so he asked the third child to sit with him and have a drink, making the third child's eyes glow with excitement.

At the dinner table, the third child listened to everyone chatting about things on the battlefield, his heart was surging, especially when he heard everyone talking about Zhen Wu's glorious deeds, he even looked at Zhen Wu with a trace of admiration in his eyes.

These days, there are always people who like to engage in personality cults, there is no way.

With a smile in his mouth, Zhen Wu greeted everyone while joking with everyone. He actually asked the third child to sit with him, but he also had other ideas. He could see that the third child wanted to join the army, so he should introduce him and his colleagues as soon as possible. Familiarity is also of great benefit to the third child. In addition, if Zhen Wuruo really accidentally died, it would be easier for the third child to take his position, so that Zhen Wu would not be left behind.

There are assessments in the hereditary system, but whether the assessment is strict or not is another matter. To put it bluntly, it is the sophistication of people.

They are eating hot here.

Zhang Yuqing from the west courtyard was chatting with a group of children, and the two sages came in with a plate of mulberries. Zhang Yuqing's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile, "This mulberry grows really well, it's so dark, where did it come from?"

The Erxian smiled, picked out a few big ones and handed them to Zhang Yuqing: "My brother's colleagues gave them, and I brought them when I came to our house for a drink today."

Zhang Yuqing put one in his mouth, and then habitually distributed the remaining big ones to the younger children around him. Seeing the little ones eating happily, he smiled and said to the two sages: "You too Eat it, don't let these debt collectors eat it up."

After finishing speaking, Zhang Yuqing smiled and said to the two sages: "When it was just you and your brother, your father often picked this to coax you two. I remember that once your brother deliberately picked a lot of red ones for you to eat. You are also stupid." , I didn’t know that the ripe fruit was purple-black, but I just looked at the bright red color, put it in my mouth, and cried a lot at the end.”

Erxian smiled quietly and gently, even when he thought of being teased, his eyes were full of tenderness.

Zhang Yuqing was very excited about talking, and said: "This mulberry looks like the one in Xiaoling Village."

"It's from Xiaoling Village." Er Xian chatted with Zhang Yuqing with a smile.

Zhang Yuqing became interested and asked, "That kid Xue Lu picked it?"

Erxian shook his head and said: "Brother Xue has such a heart, even if he picked some, he would coax my sister-in-law Lulan. I heard from my brother that the person who came to our house during the Chinese New Year picked these. It seems to be called Zhang Wu."

"Zhang Wu?" Zhang Yuqing thought about it in a daze.

Erxian reminded: "At that time he borrowed my brother's horse, and you saw it with your own eyes when he returned it."

"Oh, he looks honest and honest, he's a good guy."

Erxian smiled, and didn't comment much, she just thought that the man was simple and silly, and it was quite funny.

After a few people chatted for a while.

The fourth sister and the fifth sister suddenly got into a quarrel, Zhang Yuqing glared at him, the fifth sister timidly shrank her neck, but the always bold and forthright fourth sister was not afraid, and said in a daze that she wanted to drink water.

Zhang Yuqing said angrily: "Go pour it yourself, you still want me to serve you."

"But I want to drink sweet water." Fourth Sister said.

Fifth Sister also softly added: "I want to drink too."

Xiao Liu and Xiao Qi at the side immediately jumped up and shouted, "I drink too, I drink too."

Zhang Yuqing glared one by one angrily: "It's really a group of debt collectors." After all, he turned to look at the two sages and said, "Happy today, you can get them a bowl each."

"Success." Er Xian didn't feel tired, got up and went to the kitchen.

Zhang Yuqing warned from behind: "Remember Xiao Liu and Xiao Qi, don't be too sweet."

"I know."

Sweet water is brown sugar water. Drinking a bowl of brown sugar water in this day and age is considered the best, and there are many children in the family, so the brown sugar is hidden tightly, fearing that the children will not be able to control themselves and damage their teeth.

When Xiao Liu heard that she could drink sweet water, she happily pushed Xiao Qi down, and sat up on her buttocks, yelling non-stop, declaring her excitement.

Scared Zhang Yuqing said "Oh my god" and hurriedly pulled Xiao Liu away. Xiao Qi, who was quite happy at first, got up silently and rolled his eyes.

The fourth and fifth sisters had followed Erxian to the kitchen, watching Erxian make brown sugar water for them.

Erxian tried the water temperature first, and it was still quite hot, so he divided it into four bowls, found the brown sugar, and put them one by one.

The fourth and fifth younger sisters who were watching shouted in succession: "Play more, play more."

Er Xian was unmoved, and according to his own ideas, after making the brown sugar water, he told the fourth and fifth younger sisters: "It's still hot, you two just wait here to drink, be careful not to burn yourself."

"We know." The fourth and fifth sisters said impatiently.

After Er Xian nodded their foreheads, they brought two bowls back to the house and gave them to Xiao Liu and Xiao Qi.

The fourth sister and the fifth sister, with their heads next to each other, kept blowing in front of the brown sugar water.

After blowing for a while, the fourth sister couldn't help it anymore, picked up the big bowl and took a sip, feeling that it wasn't too hot, she drank it all in one gulp, her beautiful eyes narrowed and she shook her head vigorously.

When she had had enough aftertaste, she opened her eyes to find that Fifth Sister was slowly drinking in small sips like a chicken pecking at rice.

The fourth sister urged with greedy eyes: "Drink faster."

"I won't."

"Then let me drink some too." Fourth Sister said with a smile.

Fifth Sister walked out holding the bowl: "Slightly slightly, how is it possible."

"Don't force me to grab it." Fourth Sister threatened.

Fifth Younger Sister immediately picked up her pace, without choosing a direction, she went directly to the central hall. At this time, Zhu Gaoxu outside Zhenwu Gate was waiting at the door with a few servants.

Zhu Gaoxu couldn't help but said: "Why doesn't Zhen Wu's family even have a gatekeeper? Could it be that I have been waiting?"

A servant stepped forward and said: "Your Highness, please wait a moment, and the servants will go to inform you."

"Forget it." Zhu Gaoxu waved his hand: "I broke in by myself, and Zhen Wu wouldn't mind if I wanted to."

After finishing speaking, Zhu Gaoxu raised his leg and rushed in, heading straight for the middle hall.

His pace was not slow, coupled with his youthful curiosity, he looked left and right, but he didn't see Fifth Sister holding brown sugar water, and she also arrived in the middle hall, but bumped into her head, splashed water all over her body, and the bowl fell to the ground and shattered.

The fifth sister's eyes were red with distress, and all she could think about was that she hadn't had a few sips yet, and even the fourth sister was reluctant to give it to her, so she spilled it all.

And Zhu Gaoxu dipped in a bowl of water for no reason, his face immediately showed an angry look, and his brows frowned at the same time.
