The old eunuch Zhu Ping'an sacrificed his life to protect the lord back then, so he ended up with his crippled body now.

Zhu Ping'an, who has outstanding meritorious deeds, has a great influence in the country.

Therefore, the ministers of the Yu Kingdom also have great respect for Zhu Ping'an.

The great Sima Wen Decun and the protector Xuanyuan Lingling bowed to Zhu Ping'an one after another. The two of them looked at Zhu Ping'an's somewhat rickety back, and their hearts trembled.

Seeing Zhu Ping'an's back gradually moving away, Wen Decun and Xuanyuan Ling Ling immediately glanced at each other, and the two immediately followed closely behind Zhu Ping'an, entered the gate of the palace, and walked towards the inner courtyard of the palace.

......

The southern end of the Najon hills, the city of Jung.

Meng Zhize first said goodbye to his grandfather and grandfather, and the two old men were reluctant to let Meng Zhize leave, and after some chatter, the two old men touched a handful of old tears and nodded at Meng Zhize.

Although the two old men were from the bottom of their hearts, they did not want Meng Zhize to leave them again. But the two old people can still understand the matter of young people, after all, the two old people also came from young people.

......

After Meng Zhize said goodbye to his grandfather and grandmother, he came to his mother's room again.

Because Meng Zhize had already said hello to Fu Nu in advance, Fu Nu had already been mentally prepared, Fu Nu did not do too much to keep it, but just stuffed a stack of silver tickets to Meng Zhize, so that he would not suffer himself outside, after all, Meng Zhize had already grown up.

Before Meng Zhize left, Fu Nu repeatedly told him that he could get married as soon as possible, after all, Meng Zhize was already a big boss. Meng Zhize nodded in response, and then said goodbye to Fu Nu and left.

Meng Zhize left the Fu Mansion, and the old housekeeper Fu Zhuo had already prepared a good horse for him and waited at the gate in person.

Meng Zhize said goodbye to the old housekeeper Fu Zhuo, Fu Zhuo was already an old tearful man and cried into a tearful person.

When Meng Zhize was young, he was basically inseparable from Fu Zhuo, but when Meng Zhize went to leave Motang, it was difficult for the master and servant to see each other again, and now they parted again, and both of them were sad.

Meng Zhize saw that if he stayed any longer, Fu Zhuo would definitely be even more sad, so he relentlessly, bowed goodbye to Fu Zhuo again, and then got on the horse's back and drove away.

......

Meng Zhize rode alone, urging the horse to hurry, and the fast horse soon left the west gate of Ronger City.

Along the official road of the West City Gate, after walking for a short time, you can see a market in the western suburbs.

Although the market is on the outskirts of Ronger City, it is also quite lively. This market in the western suburbs is home to dozens of merchant families.

Most of them were nearby vendors, and in order to make a living, they collectively moved to both sides of the official road.

Thatched houses of varying heights are arranged in a staggered manner on both sides of the official road.

It can be said that although the sparrow is small, it has all kinds of organs. In this western suburbs market, there are tea shops, steamed bun shops, pork shops, blacksmith shops and so on.

Meng Zhize suddenly reined in the reins of the horse at the entrance of the market, he glanced at the familiar environment in the western suburbs market, and his heart suddenly trembled, and the past of his childhood was vivid......

......

Meng Zhize still clearly remembers that when he was young, he didn't have any playmates in Fu's mansion, and he would only play with Uncle Fu when he was busy.

Once Uncle Fu wanted to come to the blacksmith shop in the western suburbs to play two kitchen knives for the kitchen, and the child Meng Zhize pestered Uncle Fu alive and died, asking Uncle Fu to take him out for a spin.

Fu Zhuo was helpless, so in the end he had to ask Fu Nu for instructions, but he didn't expect Fu Nu to agree happily.

From the south of Ronger City, Fu Mansion in the third lane of the main street, to the blacksmith shop in the western suburbs, it is about a distance of several miles.

Fu Zhuo drove the carriage and arrived at the western suburbs without much effort.

Unexpectedly, the young Meng Zhize actually leaned on the car window and wrote down the distance from Fu Mansion to the Western Suburbs Market along the road.

When he arrived at the blacksmith shop in the western suburbs, the young Meng Zhize saw that there were three or five children of the same age as him at the door of the blacksmith shop.

As soon as the child Meng Zhize got out of the carriage with Fu Zhuo, he saw Fu Zhuo shouting to a busy man in the blacksmith shop: "Blacksmith Liu, business is good." ”

"Hehe, the little brother is just a mouthful of food, where can he compare to the scenery of Steward Fu!Uh...... Is Steward Fu here to take care of my little brother's business again?"

The blacksmith Liu immediately put down the work in his hand and greeted Fu Zhuo at the door.

Fu Zhuo took out two kitchen knives that were a little missing from a bamboo basket, nodded at Blacksmith Liu, and said with a smile: "Hehe, of course I have nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace! Look at these two kitchen knives in my hand, if I don't bring them over to you to repair them, I'm afraid that those masters in the back kitchen of our Fu Mansion will go on strike." ”

"Haha...... This is a big deal! If the back kitchen of the Fu Mansion strikes, Steward Fu is afraid that he will drink the northwest wind.

Ha ha...... Such a big event, it really can't be delayed, it can't be delayed!"

Blacksmith Liu laughed heartily, and immediately started joking with Fu Zhuo.

Fu Zhuo handed the two kitchen knives in his hand to Blacksmith Liu, and immediately asked with a straight face: "Brother Liu, take a look, how long will it take for these two knives to be repaired? ”

Blacksmith Liu took the two kitchen knives, immediately restrained the grinning smile on his face, carefully looked at the two somewhat damaged kitchen knives, was silent for a moment, and said: "If someone helps push the bellows to make the temperature of the furnace rise faster, the little brother estimates that it will take about two hours, which is almost enough." ”

When Fu Zhuo heard this, he immediately stepped forward, rolled up his sleeves, and recommended himself to Liu Blacksmith Mao Sui: "Okay, I don't have anything to do in the afternoon anyway, why don't you let me help you push the bellows?"

"You?" Blacksmith Liu stared at Fu Zhuo, hesitated for a moment, and then nodded at Fu Zhuo and said, "It's okay." Anyway, he went back to his parents' house today, and no one in the shop could help, since Steward Fu recommended himself, then there was a housekeeper who consumed some physical strength in the house. ”

Fu Zhuo nodded, then rolled up his sleeves, and after tying the sleeves, he was about to enter the blacksmith shop, when he suddenly stopped slightly beside Blacksmith Liu, showed a smile at Blacksmith Liu, and joked: "You have to calculate some wages." ”

Blacksmith Liu was stunned when he heard this, and immediately laughed, and said, "I'm helping you, but you came to me for a salary?" haha...... Pushing the bellows is a physical job, you Steward Fu has to watch it, no one pushes the bellows, I'm afraid these two kitchen knives can't be repaired today......"

"Oh, it's really no business. Profiteers...... Good you blacksmith Liu, today my Fu Zhuo will be planted in your hands. Fu Zhuo deliberately rolled his eyes at Blacksmith Liu, and immediately walked towards the blacksmith shop.

"Haha...... Although the salary is not paid, it is still enough for one meal of wine and food. Blacksmith Liu laughed a few times and followed Fu Zhuo towards the shop.

Fu Zhuo only cared about talking to Blacksmith Liu, but he forgot his childhood Meng Zhize.

When Meng Zhize was a child, he saw Fu Zhuo enter the blacksmith shop, but he stood still and did not move. I couldn't help but shout into the blacksmith shop: "Uncle Fu, I'll go play with these children outside for a while." ”

When Fu Zhuo heard this, he was immediately shocked. He scratched the back of his head in embarrassment and hesitated for a moment. Fu Zhuo looked at the young Meng Zhize who was standing outside the shop, and suddenly said: "It's okay, Uncle Fu has to be busy here for a while, you just play outside the shop, don't run away." ”

Blacksmith Liu also noticed the childhood Meng Zhize outside the door at this time, and when he saw Fu Zhuo say this, he shouted to the three or five children who were playing at the door: "Ah Hui, you take this little guest to play together, just play outside the shop, don't go far." ”

Among the three or five children playing, one of the children heard the voice of Blacksmith Liu in the blacksmith shop, nodded at him, and responded to the shop: "Okay, I know, Dad." ”

After the child who answered said this, he immediately walked to the side of the moonlit night, took the moonlit night's hand, and said with a smile: "My name is Ah Hui, what is your name, little friend?"

Childhood Meng Zhize said happily: "My name is Meng Zhize, hello Ah Hui!"

After Meng Zhize said this, he stretched out his other hand to the child named Ah Hui.

Seeing this, the child Ah Hui immediately stretched out a hand, held Meng Zhize's hand tightly, and said with a smile: "Hello Meng Zhize." ”

"Weird, weird...... Your name is Ah Hui, is your surname Ah Hui?" the young man Meng Zhize stared at Ah Hui, his cheeks suddenly full of doubts.

Ah Hui shook his head, pointed to a sign hanging at the door of the blacksmith shop next to him, and immediately smiled, and said: "My father's surname is Liu, and I am naturally surnamed Liu, in fact, I am called Liu Hui, but since I was a child, everyone called me Ah Hui, so I used to call myself 'Ah Hui'." ”

When Meng Zhize heard this, he nodded, and Ah Hui immediately pulled Meng Zhize and walked towards the little friends.

After Ah Hui's introduction one by one, the friends quickly got to know Meng Zhize.

These children are all the children of the shops in the market, and Meng Zhize remembered the names of these children one by one after Ah Hui's detailed introduction in childhood.

The other two boys with Ah Hui, one named Su Jie and the other named Qin Yu, are the children of the steamed bun shop and pork shop next door.

And the other two girls, one named Su Fang and the other named Chen Bing. Su Fangnai is Su Jie's sister, and Chen Bing is the daughter of the owner of Chen Kee Tea Shop.

After several children got acquainted with each other, they played a small game together, and the scene was filled with children's laughter.

In the days that followed, Meng Zhize often forced Uncle Fu to bring him to the western suburbs to play with his friends.

Fu Nu saw that Meng Zhize's face suddenly had a smile on his face, so he also persuaded Fu Zhuo to let Fu Zhuo take Meng Zhize out for a spin, so Meng Zhize spent a year or two of happy childhood.
