Across the Market

Chapter 155

Zhu Lu said: "Grandma, don't worry, my grandson will definitely get married, but now that my grandson has achieved nothing, which good girl would be willing to marry my grandson?" He was originally simple and honest, even in front of his relatives, he was not good at talking , but now he can speak so eloquently because he is thinking of the girl he likes in his heart. He took a deep breath and continued, "It is said that a good man should serve the court and benefit the people. Even a woman knows that Eliminate harm for the people, the grandson of a seven-foot man should do better than a woman."

Zhu Gui glanced at his cousin, who was as smart as him, and he understood it in his heart, so he got up and said, "My lord, my cousin is right, a good man should aim everywhere. Besides, this martial arts exam is actually the same as the imperial exam. If you get the ranking, you can be in the imperial court. In the future, our family will have a civil and a military, wouldn't it be a good thing?"

The Guo family is not a pedantic person, she just wants to keep her children and grandchildren by her side to be filial, if they have a future, and they can be a master of the family, she will be happy as an elder.But after all, it's not like being a civil servant like Brother Gui, so how can it be so easy to be a soldier. The soldiers on the battlefield are the stepping stones for those generals to become officials and ranks!

"It's a good thing for you to be successful, but after all, this battlefield..." Mrs. Guo sighed, then shook her head, "I can't bear it..."

The soundproofing of the small room is not good, so Zhu Fu could hear the elders in the main room talking clearly.

Sister Nuan was playing with the spinning top in the room, and after playing for a while, she raised her head and asked, "Second sister, mother said that brother is going to take the martial arts test, is this true?"

Zhu Fu touched his sister's round head, nodded slightly and said, "Brother is promising, let's be happy for him."

Sister Nuan didn't understand anything, so she responded softly and started playing with the spinning top again.

Brother Shou was sitting on the bed, wrapped in a thick quilt, looking eagerly at the young lady playing.

"My brother is afraid of the cold, so I can't play until tomorrow." Seeing Brother Shou looking at her, Sister Nuan put away the spinning top, lying on the bedside and playing with Brother Shou's little hands, and said, "Second Sister said you should lie on the bed obediently." , when the sun comes out tomorrow, my little sister will teach you to play, okay?" Touching the peach-shaped black hair in front of his forehead, he said with a smile, "Be good, little brother."

Brother Shou yawned, looking at Sister Nuan with his black eyes as clear as water, and then nodded slightly.

Sister Nuan took off her little shoes, climbed onto the bed, untied her outer jacket, and lay down with her younger brother in her arms, saying, "Brother Shou, we can't sleep yet, Miss Sister will play with you for a while, um... How about telling you a story? My second sister tells me stories every night."

"Tell a story..." Brother Shou smiled softly, his fair face was shining like jade, and he gently held Sister Nuan's hand with his small hand, "The story of Monkey Sun, fighting monsters..."

Seeing that his younger siblings were having fun, Zhu Fu went out and stood in the main room and said, "Grandma, there are so many battles to be fought in this peaceful and prosperous world. Besides, my brother is going to take the exam, not join the army. The purpose of setting up the martial arts examination is to attract talents who practice martial arts from all over the world, so that ordinary people can not only gain fame by joining the army... I heard from Brother Shen that there are Jinwu Guards, Yulin Army, and Qianniu Guards in the imperial court. These are the protection of the emperor. Those who protect the imperial city in the imperial palace will not easily fight."

Guo Shi was a little shaken when he heard the words: "You really don't know how to go to war?"

Zhu Fu walked up to Guo Shi with a smile, held her arm and said, "It's easy not to fight! Now the country is peaceful and the people are safe, it is a peaceful and prosperous age, even if the barbarians around us dare to invade our Central Plains in the future, there will be loyal ministers and good generals guarding the frontier. No one like my brother can climb up to the battlefield. My brother wants to go, but I don’t want to do it, I must think, hmph, where did the brat come from, dare to take my job, I’m tired of work!"

Zhu Fu imitated those vulgar people he had seen in TV dramas before, and imitated his tone, which amused the whole family and swept away the heavy atmosphere.

"That's good." Guo finally breathed a sigh of relief, and no longer hindered Zhu Lu's future, but since he couldn't talk about his grandson, he brought the topic to his eldest granddaughter, "Sister Xi, after the seventeenth year of the new year, Oh, what a girl."

Seeing her mother-in-law mentioning this matter, Wei Sanniang felt a cold sweat in her heart, fearing that her mother-in-law would just point Sister Xi to someone else.

Zhu Xi was indifferent, stood up with a smile and said, "Grandma, you don't want your granddaughter to spend more time with you? I didn't show my filial piety in the past ten years, but now we live close together. Of course, my granddaughter wants to spend more time with grandma." After a while, I don’t want to marry easily.”

That Niu Dalai smashed the fortune record and almost ruined Zhu Xi's innocence. The family kept hiding it from the old lady, for fear that the old man would not be able to bear such a blow.

Mrs. Yu was flexible and quickly persuaded her, "Mother, Miss Xi is only seventeen years old after the Chinese New Year. How can she reach the age of worrying about getting married? Isn't my sister-in-law only married my elder brother when she was 20 years old? Look, What a wonderful life these days. If you want me to say, sister Xi is such a good girl, we should keep it as long as possible, let's keep our eyes open and look for it slowly."

Seeing that her granddaughter is not only handsome, but also very sensible and respectful, Mrs. Guo is really reluctant to marry her off casually.

He also thought about it, in the next two years, when Brother Lu and Brother Gui get their honors in the exam, Sister Xi will have more capital to talk about their relationship.

The old man felt at ease, and after sitting with his son for a while, Zhu Er and Mrs. Yu helped him to the opposite side of the river.

Zhu Fu turned around and wanted to go into the house to see his younger brothers and sisters, but Zhu Xi grabbed his wrist and whispered to her ear: "Where did you go just now? I went out to look for you and didn't see you."

Zhu Fu blushed, then lowered his head and said, "Just accompany them to set off fireworks outside, my sister went to look for me? Maybe it's dark outside, I hid in the corner, you didn't see me."

Zhu Xifeng narrowed his eyes slightly, looked left and right and saw that his parents were not there, so he hooked his sister's neck and said, "Don't lie to me, I went to Mrs. Shen's house to look for Yuzhu, but it happened that Brother Shen was not there either. If you disappear, he will disappear too." , Yuzhu doesn't know where Brother Shen is going, what do you think I will think?"

Seeing that he couldn't hide it, Zhu Fu could only tell his elder sister the whole story, and said in a muffled voice: "Actually, I have something important to discuss with him. This matter is of great importance, so I can only go to him."
