Mixing ancient times with Taobao

Chapter 88
After a few rains, the greenery covered the land in an instant, but at this moment, there is no joy in the city of Nanjing.

The security level of the Jiangdong Gate Guard has been raised to the highest level. All military households and hundreds of households are stepping up training and checking weapons.

Zuo Dayou also felt very heavy.After learning that Zuo Liangyu gave up Wuchang, he sent people to Yangzhou to pick up his parents, but now that the news of the siege of Yangzhou came, there was no news about his parents or the people he sent. For him, it's really not a good sign.

Amid the concerns of Zuo Dayou and the people of Nanjing, the time was pushed to April [-]th.On this day, a group of fast horses entered Beijing. While shouting against the wind, the people learned that the Qing army had crossed the Huaihe River on the thirteenth, and that the siege of Yangzhou might be imminent.

That is, on this day, a group of people came from outside the Jiangdong Gate. When the visitors arrived at the entrance of the Jiangdong Gate Guards, they fell to the ground and cried loudly, shouting repeatedly: "Master, Zuo Da lived up to expectations. Finally, the old man, Mrs. Tai Bring it back!"

Hearing this, the guard turned pale with fright, hurriedly helped him up, and sent someone to report to Zuo Dayou.Zuo Dayou rushed out quickly, and when he saw the emaciated parents and the whole family, he fell to his knees and cried loudly, "Father, mother! My son is unfilial and made you suffer!"

"Son!"

Zuo Kui caressed Zuo Dayou with trembling hands, and cried loudly: "Father finally sees you, your little sister's man was killed by the Tartars in order to protect us, son!"

Crying sounded again and again, Zuo Dayou hugged his old father and cried loudly, Zuo's mother also fell to her knees, hugging Zuo Dayou's third sister Zuo Lian and crying loudly.Zuo Fu and Liu Runiang, who rushed over, also had red eyes when they saw this situation, and while wiping their tears, they asked the servants to help all the relatives of Zuo's family up, Zuo Dayou's brother Zuo Daren wiped his eyes and said: "Sister-in-law, it's me Useless, failed to protect the family."

"Don't talk about it, Fu'er, take your uncles and aunts in quickly. Father, mother, let's go in, let's have a hot meal first."

"Ai, ai."

Zuo's mother, Mrs. Qian, responded, while helping Zuo Lian who was crying into a pool, she patted Zuo Lian and said, "San Niang, I found your brother, don't be afraid, don't be afraid..."

Zuo Dayou's eldest sister Zuo Qiaoer and second younger sister Zuo Xier also tried to persuade him, and there were seven or eight other children who were also crying, and the scene was very sad.

Zuo Fu pulled a girl who was about the same age as him, and said, "What's your name? My name is Zuo Fu. I'm seventeen this year. How about you?"

"I, my name is Xia, Xia Baozhu, this year, this year is sixteen..."

Xia Baozhu sobbed and said: "I, I am you, from your aunt's family, you, are you my cousin?"

Zuo Fu nodded, "Don't cry, is this your younger brother or elder brother?"

"younger brother……"

"It's really tall."

Zuo Fu took the little boy's hand affectionately, "What's your name?"

"I, my name is Xia Xingsheng, my first name was given by my uncle."

Zuo Fu nodded, then asked each child's name, age and identity, and finally said: "Don't be afraid when you come here, Daddy will protect us. Come, follow me in, today there is braised pork in the big cafeteria Eat, talk slowly when you're full."

"Is this the eldest granddaughter?"

Qian suddenly said: "It's so big..."

She wiped the corners of her eyes, "Grandma hasn't seen you for many years."

"Hi, grandma."

Zuo Fu stepped forward to help Qian Shi, and then said to Zuo Kui: "Grandfather, let's stop crying, let's talk in the room."

"Ah, ah, good boy, good boy..."

A large family followed Zuo Dayou into the Qianhu House, and the servants in the family also started to get busy.The journey to escape was difficult, and it was only a short period of time. The whole family was already in disrepair, not to mention covered in stains, and all of them were sallow and emaciated from hunger.

Zuo Dayou couldn't help but turn red when he saw his mother, father, brother and sister.In the final analysis, it was because he cared too little about his mother and father, and he should have picked them up earlier, instead of waiting for the situation to fail to think about it.

Chun Ya brought the servants to bring the food to the table, Zuo Kui and the others were already starving, and they couldn't care less about sadness at the moment, so they hurriedly ate.After eating, he slowly narrated: "At that time, I heard from a scholar in the village that Yangzhou was afraid that there would be chaos, and the Tartars would attack. We still didn't believe it. We still have so many soldiers in Ming Dynasty, and the Huaihe River is a natural danger. The Tartars are all from the north, how can it be so easy to call them? But later, seeing the situation was not right, I discussed with your mother to come to Nanjing to join you first. But who knew that after a few days of walking, we met a few Pathfinder Tartar, your little brother-in-law wants to hold them back..."

Zuo Kui cried again when he said this, "Sheng Sheng was chopped into several pieces by the Tartars!"

When Zuo Lian heard this, she immediately cried again, "It's a pity that my husband didn't eat the last mouthful of his full meal, brother, you have to avenge him!"

"If it hadn't been for Zuo Da who brought someone to find you, mother would never see you again, son!"

Mrs. Qian also cried, "Those people you sent are left with a big Zuo, these Tartars are not human! You, your niece is so bad, almost..."

A little girl bowed her head, she was a child of Uncle Zuo Fu's family, her name was Zuo Rong, she just turned 14 this year.

At this moment, she lowered her head, pinching the corners of her clothes with both hands uneasily, tears fell drop by drop on the back of her hands, and her body trembled uncontrollably, it was obvious that the shadow of that moment was huge, even if things had passed, thinking back , fear still occupied all her senses.

"These beasts!"

Zuo Dayou thumped the table violently, "It's really shameless not to let the children go!"

"Father, now is not the time to talk about this."

Zuo Fu said: "Our family can be reunited, which is the blessing given to us by God."

As she said that, she walked over to hold Zuo Lian's hand, and comforted her: "Little aunt, don't cry, watch your eyes carefully, we will settle accounts with them sooner or later! Right now, it's time to take good care of your body, if I guess right , I'm afraid Yangzhou won't be able to hold on, we have to get enough energy and make plans early."

"What?"

Zuo Lian, who was crying, stopped crying when she heard this, she stared wide-eyed and said, "Could it be that he, they can still come to Nanjing?"

"Fur, why are you telling your aunt these things?"

Zuo Dayou said with some displeasure: "You still think your aunt is not sad enough?"

"Father……"

Zuo Fu twitched his lower lip, lowered his eyes and said in a low voice: "The dynasty will be chaotic, and people are not as good as dogs... If you are not mentally prepared, how will you survive in the future?"

"My boy..."

Qian's voice trembled and said: "You, how do you understand this? What do you mean, our family has to escape? Nanjing can't hold it anymore?"

"I heard from Zuo Da on the way here..."

Zuo Kui answered, "Our Fu'er is different from before..."

Speaking of this, he glanced at Zuo Dayou, and complained a little: "You are also a fool, Fu'er was forced to commit suicide and you didn't send a letter home, if it wasn't for this time, you would have kept it from us When?!"
