My father Zhu Gaoxu

Chapter 23
Chang Wei looked at Zhu Zhanhe's retreating back, and opened his mouth several times to speak, but in the end he couldn't speak.

"Ah~"

When Zhu Zhanhe's back disappeared at the corner of the street, Chang Wei sighed and knelt down, holding his head in his hands with a look of annoyance.

Just now Zhu Zhanhe told Chang Wei that he knew that there was a place where weaving had the advantages of both northern and southern worms. Chang Wei didn't believe this statement at all, and even suspected that the other party was fooling him.

After Zhu Zhanhe finished speaking, he didn't explain too much, and left after making an appointment to meet tomorrow. Chang Wei tried to call the other party to stop him several times, but in the end he still didn't have the courage to speak.

With Zhu Zhanhe's departure, the number of people on the street finally increased. Chang Wei curled up and drowned in the crowd. If it wasn't for the decent clothes on his body, he might be regarded as a down and out beggar.

After an unknown amount of time, Chang Wei stood up dejectedly, and wobbled back home.

At the time of Jingnan, Chang Wei's father, Chang Sheng, led an army to stop Zhu Di's army, and finally died in Puzikou. After Zhu Di ascended the throne, the Chang family was deprived of their title and their property was confiscated.

At that time, Chang Wei was still young, but his family was ruined, so he could only live with his younger sister at his aunt's house.

Chang Wei's aunt married Zhang Rong, Marquis of Navigation, and Zhang He, Zhang Rong's father, was one of the 24 generals in Huaixi.

Chang Wei did not live in the Hou's Mansion, but in a small courtyard next to the Hou's Mansion, and there were no servants to serve him, but three meals a day would be delivered by people from the Hou's Mansion.

Pushing open the door, Chang Wei walked into the room with heavy steps. The yard he lived in was not big, and the room was also very small. Entering the door is the living room and study room, and there is a small room next to it as a bedroom.

On the left side of the living room is a row of bookshelves, on which are placed a lot of military books, and on the right side is a row of weapon racks, which are complete with eighteen kinds of weapons.

However, whether it is military books or weapons, there is a thick layer of dust on them, but the desk in the middle is very clean, but there are more than a dozen cages for weaving, and the weaving inside makes a cheerful cry.

Chang Wei sat down in front of the desk, listening to Ji Zhi's crisp cry, but his mood became more and more irritable.

Although these squirrels on the desk sound nice, they are actually bugs, not good at fighting at all.

But at this moment, the door was suddenly opened, and a tall girl walked in with a little maid.

"Brother, you are finally back, come and try on the new clothes I made for you!"

The tall slender girl also said happily when she saw Chang Wei.

"Little sister, why did you make me new clothes again?"

Chang Wei also hurriedly stood up when he saw the girl, and this girl was his sister Chang Sining who depended on each other for life.

"It's autumn now, and the weather will change at any time. It just so happened that my aunt left some good material for making clothes for my uncle, so I begged to make a new dress for my elder brother!"

As he spoke, Chang Si Ning picked up a heavy autumn dress from the maid, and motioned Chang Wei to try it on.

Chang Wei couldn't refuse the younger sister's kindness, so he could only take the clothes and try them on in the next bedroom.

Chang Sining looks about fifteen or sixteen years old, with an oval face, picturesque eyebrows, fair complexion like jade, and long black hair tied up with a jade hairpin. Although there is still a bit of childishness in the facial features, it still looks very dignified atmosphere.

But what attracts the most attention to Chang Sining is not her appearance, but her height. Just now she stood in front of Chang Wei, and she was only half a head short. If Zhu Zhanhe were here, he would definitely marvel at how tall this girl is. A good seed for volleyball!

Chang Wei quickly changed his clothes and came out, admiring as he walked: "It's still your handiness, little sister, this dress fits so well!"

Chang Sining looked at the clothes on Chang Wei's body and nodded in satisfaction, and then said: "It fits well, I still have some material, I should be able to make a single shirt for my brother, the clothes you just wore are all worn out."

"Little sister, don't just focus on making clothes for me. You have grown taller this year, and the dresses on your body are getting smaller, so let's make some clothes for yourself first!"

Hearing this, Chang Wei hurriedly waved his hands and said, he couldn't help but look at his sister's dress.

Chang Si Ning's skirt was indeed a bit small, and a pair of unbound feet were exposed under the skirt. Given her stature, these feet would certainly not be too small.

You must know that women from rich families never show their feet to others. Their long skirts cover their feet tightly, making it difficult for outsiders to see.

"I don't usually go out. Unlike your elder brother, you need to go out to socialize frequently. You can't do without some good clothes."

Having said that, Chang Sining looked at Chang Wei again, and then asked again.

"Brother, you are frowning, have you encountered any troubles?"

"It's nothing, don't worry about me!"

Chang Wei immediately waved his hands and said, he didn't want his sister to know about his being outside.

"Brother, our brother and sister's parents died early, and we depend on each other for life. Is there anything you can't tell me?"

Chang Sining asked with a stern face, with a somewhat angry expression.

"This……"

Chang Wei loves his younger sister the most. Seeing her angry, he panicked for a while, and finally had to explain.

"Actually, it's not a big deal. The prince of the King of Han borrowed something from me. He said he would definitely return it, but he didn't have it in hand. He just said that he would invite me to the palace to discuss it in detail. I'm worried that this is just an excuse, and I'm afraid he will renege on the debt."

"Heir of the King of Han? But the one who made the city stormy a while ago?"

Chang Sining asked again.

"It's him. It was rumored that he was injured and lost his memory. I didn't believe it at first. I didn't expect him to call me 'Brother Chang' when he saw me today. The politeness made me suspect that I had misidentified the person."

When Chang Wei mentioned Zhu Zhanhe's address to him, he couldn't help getting excited again. Although he tried his best to fit into the circle of Zhu Zhanhe and others, because of his background, he was not very popular in this circle.

Seeing that her elder brother was so excited by someone else's title, Chang Sining felt sore in her heart. Since her family fell behind, she was fine as a woman, but as the only male in the family, elder brother has suffered too much grievance.

"I think you're thinking too much, big brother. As the son of King Han, if you really don't want to pay you back, why bother to use these excuses?"

Chang Si Ning is very clever, explaining the key point in one sentence.

"That's right, with Zhu Zhanhe's identity, even if he's an outright robber, I can't do anything about him. There's no need to lie to me with these words!"

Chang Wei finally turned the corner, and immediately thanked his younger sister, "You're still smart, younger sister, but I'm so stupid, older brother!"

"Brother is just a fan of the authorities, but the reputation of the Prince of Han is not good, you should be careful when dealing with him, brother!"

Chang Sining finally reminded again.

"Little sister, don't worry, big brother, I will save it!"

Chang Wei patted his chest and promised.

Chang Si Ning nodded, and then gave Chang Wei a few words of advice before getting up and leaving.

Seeing the back of his sister leaving, Chang Wei was also moved. Although his parents are gone, at least there is still a caring sister who always misses him.

But when he saw Chang Sining going out, the bun on his head almost hit the door frame, and the pair of big feet that appeared and disappeared under the skirt.

Chang Wei couldn't help but sighed and said to himself: "I still have to find a way to save more dowry for my little sister, otherwise it may not be easy to find a good family!"
