Daming: From the end of Hongwu

Chapter 32 032 - New Year
Time at home always flies by quickly.

The third child was as cautious as he was with his new wife. After he rode a horse for a stroll and came back, he kept nagging Zhen Wu.

No matter what you say, it is different from the old horse in Uncle Liu's house.

The hooves look good.

What Zhen Wu said was dumbfounded.

Uncle Liu's horses were also retired from the army. Apart from being a little older, shedding more hair, and less durable, there is no difference.

As far as the speed of the third child's stroll is concerned, the old horse of Uncle Liu's family is completely satisfied.

I don't know how he could tell that the hooves were different.

Zhen Wu perfunctorily perfunctory the third child, unable to bear to spoil the excitement of the third child.

While chatting, the third child suddenly said: "Brother, can I also join the army, I want to fight too."

Zhen Wu was taken aback, and looked at the third child.

The third child is rarely serious.

Zhen Wu thought for a while and said, "Because you want to ride a horse?"

The youngest blushed, then shook his head and said, "It's not just that I want to ride a horse. The main thing is that I don't want to be a coolie in the army. I want to join the army and make contributions."

Military coolies are generally Yu Ding from military households, who are responsible for transporting food and grass during wartime.

"There will be casualties in the main army." Zhen Wu said.

The third child didn't pause and said, "I know, and I'm not afraid. If our family wants to stand out, the only way is to fight for our lives on the battlefield."

"Don't want to do business or something? Don't worry about whether our family is a military household." Zhen Wu asked.

The third child shook his head without thinking about it.

Zhen Wu fell silent.

He suddenly felt a kind of pressure called elder brother.

He had no younger brother or child in his previous life, and he never made decisions for other people's lives.

He didn't think he would be able to make the right choice for the third child, but he had no choice. He was the eldest brother, so he had to consider these things and help the third child choose a path that suited him.

Would you like to join the military?
From a historical point of view, it must be good. In the future, many heroes of Jingnan grew up from sergeants, but Zhen Wu is not sure whether the third child can survive the battlefield through wild ways.

The third child is impulsive, full of vigor, and has not even formed a mature logical system in his mind.

How to guarantee to survive and share the fruits of Zhu Di's victory?

Even Zhen Wu couldn't guarantee that he would survive now.

Can you reject the third child?

The third child will always be separated in the future to support his small family independently, and he will also leave behind his bloodline, which will be passed on to his children and grandchildren. Now, because Zhen Wu is afraid that the third child will be in danger, why don't he give him a gate to the sky? close?
"Have you told our mother?" Zhen Wu asked.

The third child shook his head and said, "Even if I told my mother, wouldn't my mother discuss it with you, so I want to ask you first."

Zhen Wu took a deep breath, patted him on the shoulder and said, "You are still young, think about this matter for two or three years, if you still want to join the army after two or three years, brother will help you."

The third child nodded with a simple smile.

Looking at the third child, Zhen Wu always felt a little uneasy. After thinking for a while, he asked: "Do you remember the moves that our father taught you? When you come back, you have nothing to do and practice more. There are also your second sister, fourth child, fifth child and others. Xiao Liu, from now on you will take them to exercise at home."

"Why do their girls practice this?" The third child was puzzled.

Zhen Wu looked up at the sky, others don't know, why doesn't he know, Beiping City will not be safe in the future, when the most critical time, Princess Xu Miaoyun and the family members of the sergeants also went to the city to fight bloody.

It's always good to be prepared.

Thinking of this, Zhen Wu suddenly thought, couldn't he be more prepared?I know that there will be Jing Nan in the future, why don't I arrange some backups first.

Make it easier for Jing.

Thinking about it, Zhen Wu was fascinated.

……

In a blink of an eye, it was the first day of the new year.

Last night on New Year's Eve, after having a reunion dinner, the family chatted for a while, and when it was completely dark, they dispersed and went to bed.

In this era, ordinary people and powerful people live like two worlds.

Many houses in the city are hung with lanterns, and the lights in the house are kept on all night.

And families like Zhen Wu and the others.

It was unpretentious and uninteresting.

However, on the first day of the new year, Zhen Wu was woken up early by the sound of firecrackers. After he got up, he first woke up the third child, and then called the little six to get up.

Xiao Liu muttered and refused to get up, but after dawdling for a while, he couldn't sleep because of the sound of firecrackers.

After everyone got up, Zhang Yuqing had already cooked the dumplings.

This time, the little ones were too hungry for the dumplings. Zhang Yuqing insisted on not letting them cook the big meat stuffing made last night, insisting that it would be a good omen on the first day of the new year.

Impatient to eat the hot dumplings, they all grinned and said nothing.

After eating, it's New Year's greetings.

Zhen Wu's family is a military household who moved here with the army, and Zhen Wu's father also joined the army halfway, unlike some military households where the entire family may join the army, the second and third uncles all moved here in the same litter.

Therefore, Zhen Wu doesn't have many relatives who need to pay New Year's greetings.

Those who need to move around are the few relationships left by his father, as well as Tan Yuan and the hundreds of households in the Youwei Camp.

Therefore, Zhen Wu came back early after going around for a while.

But no matter how early he came back, a group of old ladies at the entrance of the alley had already formed an intelligence team, and the short chatter among the parents of each family was quite lively.

After entering the first day of the new year, each family is really fine, visiting and chatting.

When Zhen Wu arrived at the entrance of the alley, he was not afraid of these old ladies, and greeted each of them with a smile, said happy new year, and then walked home.

Zhen Wu didn't need to think about it, he knew that at this moment, the old ladies had already started a new topic about him.

Zhen Wu smiled and shook his head indifferently.

However, when he got home, he wished he could rush out again and blow up their information booth.

Erxian crawled on the bed and cried very sadly.

The fourth child, the fifth child, and the two maids were next to each other and described to Zhen Wu that the sisters just went out and accidentally heard the gossip from the intelligence stall.

Zhen Wu gritted his teeth.

This New Year's Day is really troublesome.

These days, he knew that Er Xian had this on his mind, but as a senior man, he really didn't know how to persuade him, so he could only try his best not to make Er Xian sad.

Unexpectedly, this matter was really a nail in Er Xian's heart.

Seeing Er Xian crying on the bed like this, Zhen Wu was angry and distressed, couldn't help it for a while, and didn't care about the presence of the fourth and fifth children, so he ran towards Er Xian fiercely.

He was really angry.

"Isn't it just that someone else's family has withdrawn their marriage? Isn't it just a few old ladies talking nonsense? Is it worth your sadness and pain?"

The fourth child and the fifth child were taken aback for an instant.

Erxian, who was crawling, heard Zhen Wu's voice, and instinctively wanted to put away his tears, but when he sat up, his tearful eyes were still looking at Zhen Wu with pear blossoms and rain.

Er Xian rubbed hard, but the more he rubbed, the more sad he became.

This made Zhen Wu want to jump even more.

Seeing this, Erxian became more and more sad. She, who has always been weak, couldn't help releasing her emotions: "I know that my family wants to marry me out, and I feel that I have become a burden at home. I also want to marry, but I don't want to It has become like this, I have been doing well, learning needlework, learning housework, taking care of my younger brothers and sisters, I have never done anything wrong, why did I become like this."

Zhen Wu was stunned.

next moment.

I just feel distressed.
