Chapter 143: Zhongli's Recruitment Meets Happily

The sky is long, and the hometown is keen. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 infoAfter a man with low emotional intelligence like Zhu Yuanzhang returned to Zhongli, his heart became delicate, the sky was full of loess, the green and yellow crops, the low and barren houses, and the busy people looked so kind in his eyes, and even his breathing was much more comfortable than before, not to mention the joy of reuniting with his friends for many years.

Memories are the best way to get closer, when Xu Da talked about their experience of going down to the river to catch fish and shrimp, everyone laughed at Zheng Yuchun's appearance of being caught by crabs and crying; when Tang He talked about the watermelon they stole from the farmer and was kicked off, the first thing that everyone thought of was that the watermelon flowed bright red juice after it was smashed open, and it was sweet to the bottom of their hearts when they took a bite...... It seems that such things cannot be said in a day and a night, and everyone laughs and makes trouble, raises their glasses and drinks, and is drunk to the point of being a mess.

It's a pity that this kind of carefree life is only temporary, and Zhu Yuanzhang still has a lot of business to do after waking up. He had to do three things when he came back this time, the first of which was to repair his parents' grave. At that time, his family was down, or relied on Liu Xianzu to give a piece of land to bury his relatives, the cemetery was unguarded and overgrown with weeds, and the grass was generated along the ground, and a mound of soil could be seen. Zhu Yuanzhang and several brothers dug up the mound of soil with their own hands, re-buried the bones of their parents and brothers, erected stone tablets in front of the tomb, and transplanted a few large trees to shade them. Zhu Yuanzhang was grief-stricken throughout the whole process, and threw himself on the grave several times and cried loudly. Every time I think of what happened to my parents and brothers, I feel sad, and now I am also a famous person and married a wife, but unfortunately they can't see it.

The brothers also shed tears, thinking about their own hardships, they all felt that life was not easy, and they became more and more determined to create an encounter with Zhu Yuanzhang.

The second thing is to find a living relative. Sister-in-law Wang, nephew Zhu Wenzheng and third brother Zhu Chongqi were all sought by him. However, Zhu Chongqi was timid, he heard that his younger brother was a thief, and he was the son-in-law of the inverted door, so he was unwilling to take risks with Zhu Yuanzhang. Wang is a woman with ideas, she did not remarry, a widow with her son in her mother's house can imagine how difficult life is, rather than suffer from the sarcasm of her mother's family, it is better to take her son to Zhu Yuanzhang, so Zhu Yuanzhang sent someone to pick her up, and she agreed without hesitation. In addition, there is Zhu Yuanzhang's sister-in-law Tian, who is also a widow and works hard to raise two daughters. Zhu Yuanzhang thanked her for her loyalty, and took her and her niece together to be the companion of the Wang family, and they could be regarded as having someone to talk to each other in the future. As for the second brother Zhu Chongliu and his two sisters, although they are currently missing, Zhu Yuanzhang believes that as long as he works hard, he will be able to find them one day.

Relatives naturally have mixed joy and sorrow when they see each other, especially Zhu Yuanzhang saw Zhu Wenzheng, who was yellow and thin, tears flowed out again, this is his eldest brother's only son, and he is also the closest junior among his relatives, he and Ma Xiuying have no children, so Zhu Wenzheng is his own son, and teach Zhu Wenzheng to call his uncle over and over again, and let the child sleep next to him when he sleeps at night.

The third thing is recruitment. The Red Turban Army uprising has lasted for many years, the Yuan people gradually retreated to the north, and the south has basically been occupied by the Red Turban Army, because the people no longer resist the Red Turban Army, and even many people have close relatives with the Red Turban Army. Zhu Yuanzhang regarded the local government as invisible and recruited troops with great fanfare, but the effect was not great, because the young men in Haozhou either went out to find a way out or had already taken refuge in other Red Turban Army.

Zhu Yuanzhang was very happy to find his former sworn brothers, and he asked these people to lobby his relatives and friends again, and recruited one hundred and eighty people one after another.

On this day, everyone was talking and laughing, soldiers came to report, and a big man came to join the army.

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang did not refuse to come, and immediately asked someone to bring it up quickly, but at a glance, it turned out to be an old acquaintance, isn't it Zhou Dexing who was lured by him as bait and didn't spend anything?

Zhou Dexing saw Zhu Yuanzhang stunned, rubbed his eyes in disbelief, and suddenly cried, "Brother Zhu, you are not dead, it is really an eye-opener! Thanks to you for saving me, I have never dared to forget your great kindness, and this time I also want to kill a few Tartars to avenge you, but I didn't expect you and I to meet again one day......

Zhu Yuanzhang had a weak heart, and said with a dry smile: "Brother Zhou, don't come to harm, please sit down." ā€

Everyone was very curious about Zhou Dexing's words, and hurriedly asked the reason for the matter.

Zhou Dexing wiped his tears while telling Zhu Yuanzhang's heroic deeds of "sacrificing his life for righteousness" to lure away the Yuan army to help him meet Guo Zixing.

Zhu Yuanzhang's glorious image suddenly became as tall as a javelin in the eyes of everyone, and such a big brother who values love and righteousness does not follow, which one else does he follow?

As soon as Zhu Yuanzhang's righteous name was publicized by several people, it immediately spread throughout Zhongli, and there was an endless stream of soldiers who came to defect, and soon he recruited hundreds of people, and waited for a few days, but no one applied, and wanted to give his relatives a stable living environment, so he led the crowd back to Haozhou.

"Master, my uncle has returned home!" Xun Ying reported the good news to Ma Xiuying as soon as possible.

Ma Xiuying was overjoyed, she was afraid that Zhu Yuanzhang would not know that she had moved out of the Marshal's Mansion, so she deliberately ran to the city gate to greet the Prime Minister.

I saw Zhu Yuanzhang riding on a tall horse, although he couldn't hide the pride of the spring breeze on his face. This time, he returned to his hometown to recruit soldiers, not only recruited more than 700 soldiers, but also found relatives, and really felt like returning home. Seeing Ma Xiuying looking forward to it eagerly at the head of the city, her heart warmed, and a smile suddenly appeared on her face, "Lady!"

Ma Xiuying was just about to say hello, but Zhu Yuanzhang jumped off the horse, held a little boy, pointed at her and said, "Call Auntie." ā€

When Ma Xiuying heard the reputation, the child was in his teens, with a yellow face and thin muscles, dark and rough skin, big eyes and frightened and uneasy, and he muttered for a while: "Auntie." ā€

"Whose child is this?" Ma Xiuying was distressed for a while, touched the top of the child's head and asked softly.

The child wanted to hide, but his hand was dragged by Zhu Yuanzhang, and finally he trembled and stopped moving.

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled away and said in a deep voice: "His name is Zhu Wenzheng, and he is my eldest brother's child. I brought a few sisters-in-law and nephews and nieces this time, and they will live with us in the future. After speaking, he glanced at Ma Xiuying uneasily, whether he would make Ma Xiuying unhappy if he cut first and then played. Oops, I want to reunite my relatives, and I forget that I still live in the Marshal's Mansion, and I must find a way to move out when I come back this time.

Ma Xiuying knew that Zhu Yuanzhang had a pitiful background, and seeing that he was sad, she hurriedly changed the topic and said: "This is as it should be, my father-in-law has given us Sun Deya's residence, and my sister-in-law is just busy living in it." Hey, what about the sister-in-law?"

"They're still behind, and I'm in a hurry to come back and see ...... I'll give you a call. Zhu Yuanzhang's face flushed suspiciously, seeing that the lady was afraid of the lady, and thinking about the lady when he didn't see the lady, was he a little cheap? But this feeling of seeing the lady arrange everything properly after going home is really ironing.

Ma Xiuying took out a silk handkerchief and threw it to Zhu Yuanzhang, "Wipe your sweat yourself, I'll take Wen Zheng to take a bath first, and see if you make this kid disgraced." He said to Zhu Wenzheng kindly: "Don't be afraid, child, this will be your home in the future." Whoever dares to bully you, tell your aunt, even if it is your uncle, I will not agree. ā€

Zhu Wenzheng blinked, Uncle was majestic like a tiger just now, why is he like a weak cat now? The children who are struggling with hunger and cold are relatively precocious, Zhu Wenzheng immediately realized that the woman in front of him is even more powerful than Uncle Xiao, and immediately obediently flattered: "Thank you, Auntie, Auntie is so beautiful, just like a fairy." ā€

Which woman doesn't love beauty, Ma Xiuying suddenly heard her eyebrows fluttering, hurt Zhu Wenzheng to the bone, and pulled him into the house, "Good boy, what do you want to eat, my aunt ......will make it for you personally"

Zhu Yuanzhang pinched the silk handkerchief and froze, and Ma Xiuying walked away like this? He ran all the way back, and he didn't even say a word of hush and warmth. After thinking about it, Ma Xiuying is kind to her relatives and a sign of respecting herself. was happy in her heart, and she was proud again, at least Ma Xiuying knew that her husband was modest, so it seemed that she was also a good wife.

Li Qi'er fell behind slowly, walked up to Zhu Yuanzhang with low eyebrows, and said, "Uncle has worked hard, please go back to the house to rest first, and then come to ask my uncle after the meal is ready." ā€

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted, and finally regained some of the feeling of being the master. Seeing Li Qi'er's graceful figure, he who hadn't tasted meat for several months, suddenly felt ape, and his big hand secretly touched Li Qi'er's buttocks.

Li Qi'er blushed and said softly: "Uncle, don't be like this, there are so many people outside...... Madame has agreed to let the slave serve you, just waiting for you to come back and make a face......"

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't believe it, "Madame really asked you to serve me?"

"Hmm......" Li Qi'er dragged out her voice, and her eyes threw out infinite charm.

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled happily and stared at Li Qi'er's chest intently, "Okay, my lord will definitely love you well." ā€

Xun Ying originally entered the mansion with Ma Xiuying, but when she saw Zhu Yuanzhang and Li Qi'er flirting outside, she was immediately angry, and immediately walked back angrily, glared at Li Qi'er fiercely, and said bluntly: "Uncle, please follow the slave into the house." She deliberately squeezed Li Qi'er aside and introduced Zhu Yuanzhang: "After you left, the Generalissimo gave this residence to you and your wife." Madame has rearranged it to your liking, are you still satisfied with it?"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the mansion, and at this time, the lintel had been replaced with the two big characters "Zhu Mansion", and the gate and walls were freshly painted. He came to this mansion when he rescued Guo Zixing, and knew that it was spacious and elegant, and he couldn't imagine that such a magnificent mansion belonged to him. This is something he didn't dare to think about before he joined the army, where can he say something that he is not satisfied with, and he smirked.
