Chapter 34: Reparation

Ah Xiu heard Zhu Yuanzhang praise himself like this, and was about to open his mouth to say a few words of modesty, but he heard a sergeant from outside to report: "Qi Guogong, the sergeant of Marshal Zhu's family, escorted Young Lady Su Xin and Young Master Zhu Biao to visit Madame." When Zhu Yuanzhang and Ah Xiu heard this, they were surprised and delighted, and hurriedly ordered someone to invite them.

After a while, Su Xin led 8-year-old Zhu Biao into the room. As soon as the little Zhu Biao entered the door, he threw himself on Ah Xiu's bed and shouted: "Mother! Mother! Hug the mark! Biao'er misses you! Ah Xiu's nose was sour, and she was busy stretching out her arms on the bed and hugging Zhu Biao into her arms.

Ah Xiu hugged Zhu Biao, shouting his heart and liver while shaking him, and stroking his head at the same time. After a while, he asked Su Xin: "Why did you bring him all the way away?" The road is dangerous, what can you do if you hurt him again? Su Xin gave Zhu Yuanzhang a salute, and then turned around and replied with a smile: "Madame now said that she is not happy to see her son coming to Gao?" If you are happy, you will not be afraid of anything. ”

Zhu Biao showed his little head from Ah Xiu's arms and said, "Mother! It was Biao'er who begged my sister-in-law to bring me here! Biao'er misses her mother, and Aunt Huilan and Aunt Lian'er will also come later. The two aunts knew that their mother was injured and cried every day, and later heard that my sister-in-law came to pick me up and asked Biao'er to take good care of my mother after she came over, and listen to my mother's words. As he spoke, he rubbed his little head in Ah Xiu's arms, and said, "Mother, Biao'er is here, are you still in pain?" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang saw that their mother and son were deeply affectionate, and he was also a little emotional, but he saw Zhu Biao rubbing in Ah Xiu's arms vigorously, afraid that he would hurt Ah Xiu's wound, so he said: "Biao'er, don't pester your mother, let your mother rest, she is just right, don't touch her wounds." Zhu Biao heard his father's tone reproachful, and hurriedly flashed to the chair next to him and sat down.

His chest was indeed rubbed, but Ah Xiu still glanced at Zhu Yuanzhang with disgust, feeling that he was too strict with his standards. Ah Xiu was very happy to see the two, so Su Xin also sat down on the edge of the bed, and asked, "Wen Zheng sent someone to send you?" Is Hongdu okay? Su Xin nodded and said: "Madame walks on the front foot, and Hongdu on the back foot will be relieved, and Chen Youliang will get all the soldiers to Peng Ze." ”

Ah Xiu nodded with satisfaction, and Su Xin said again: "It's not okay to be worried about the two side ladies in Tianfu, when I went to pick up Biao'er's younger brother, Mrs. Huilan's eyes were blurred when she cried, and Mrs. Lian'er's eyes were also swollen, so she had to come together, it was me and Lian'er who persuaded her to take care of a few little sons, so she had to agree, but she just cried." ”

Seeing that Ah Xiu's face was worried and sad, Su Xin comforted her a few words, and handed a small burden to Ah Xiu: "Although Aunt Sun lives in another courtyard, she is also busy sending someone to let me bring you this, it is the small clothes she cut for Mrs., saying that the wound is on the chest, the skin is tender, and it can't withstand the rubbing of ordinary fabrics, and you are used to being diligent and thrifty, and you are on the front line." I couldn't be reluctant to ask someone to make these clothes, so I cut them overnight. ”

Ah Xiu took it and opened it to see, it was mixed with silk with the softest and softest fine cotton, buried in the stitches, soft and smooth, and sighed in his heart Sun's carefulness and thought that he had no father and no mother, and came to this era at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, because of his man, he knew so many sisters, although he said that he was a modern woman and did not want to work with others, but the sisters treated themselves like relatives on weekdays, and they felt rare in their hearts.

Su Xin saw that Ah Xiu's moved eyes were wet, so she said angrily: "Several side ladies in the house really care about Mrs., only Aunt Zhao is fine, so I sent some irrelevant people to investigate, hide my head and shrink my tail, and ask me if it doesn't matter if I am injured, will I be sick, I am really shallow!" My sister will go back in the future, and she still has to take care of it. After Su Xin finished speaking, he felt that he had lost his words in anger. Now that Zhu Yuanzhang is also there, he is really embarrassed, and when he was afraid of Zhu Yuanzhang's punishment, Zhu Yuanzhang smiled: "Ah Xiu, I said that you are too honest, you don't listen, look at it!" Su Xin can be angry like this, and he can't complain for you, but you just laugh stupidly. ”

Ah Xiu smiled even more, and asked rhetorically: "Su Xin is usually the best with me, and I treat her as my own sister, so she is upset for me, and Guogong uses her to tease me!" According to Guogong's meaning, do you want me to divorce your wife for you? As long as the prince is willing to do so, I am willing to be this wicked person! I'm just afraid that when the time comes, I will say that I can't tolerate people! ”

Su Xin listened to the pair of in-laws coming and going, and smiled. Zhu Yuanzhang saw the two of them laughing, and he was even more playful: "Be good! People say that my grandfather is majestic, plain heart, you are commenting on reason, am I losing to her mouth?! Ay! This country has no taste! ”

When Su Xin heard this, he leaned back and smiled together, and Su Xin hugged Zhu Biao and said, "That's it!" Biao'er, if you have the lips of your father and mother in the future, your family of three usually speaks, won't you laugh the listeners to death? Ah Xiu also couldn't laugh, pulled the wound, and sighed again.

Zhu Biao saw that his mother and his father and sister-in-law were laughing, and he was also happy, and when he saw his mother holding his chest, he hurriedly said: "Dad loves my mother the most, don't laugh at my mother, get up and take Biao'er to read together!" I haven't practiced calligraphy with my mother for more than half a year! Ah Xiu smiled and scratched his nose and said, "Yes, yes!" You accompany your mother every day, and your mother will be well soon! ”

The family was happy, and when the dinner was set in the evening, Zhu Yuanzhang asked Su Xin to accompany Ah Xiu and eat in the room together. At a young age, Zhu Biao fed Ah Xiu with a soup bowl, and Zhu Yuanzhang, who was moved, also nodded again and again, and Su Xin felt that Ah Xiu did not hurt Zhu Biao's son in vain.

After a few days, Ah Xiu's wound gradually scabbed off, and the tonic soup for several days was changed to Su Xin's own boiling, and Ah Xiu's body foundation was okay, so he gradually recovered, but he grew new flesh and itched hard. often asked Su Xin and Zhu Biao to help her walk around on the boat.

Since then, until mid-August, it has been a stop-and-go campaign, and Zhu Yuanzhang waited for work at ease, but he just surrounded the position, blocking all Chen Youliang's retreat routes and demoralizing the enemy. It was consumed until Ah Xiu recovered, and Chen Youliang gradually ran out of food and wanted to break through. Zhu Yuanzhang left the sideship and went to the front line to personally supervise the battle.

Ah Xiu stood at the bow of the boat on this day, looked at Chen Youliang in the encirclement in the distance, and said in his heart: If you weren't born in this troubled world, if you met my family Yuanzhang, maybe you could also sit on your country, but you still have to lose, I didn't know how you had more soldiers and more food than you could beat Zhu Yuanzhang, but now I understand, you lose in the hearts of the people.

From ancient times to the present, no king can sit down by being brave and ruthless, Li Zicheng can not help but say that he is a hero, but after all, he made a wedding dress for others, if you don't force my family Yuanzhang to be anxious, Yuanzhang will not pour the strength of a country to fight with you. It can be seen that you will eventually meet a tiger after traveling a lot, you are so brave and ruthless, how can you compare to Yuanzhang, who has suffered in my family?

Killing and surrendering is ominous, it is not superstition at all, it is the human heart! Yuanzhang listened to Mr. Zhu's advice and appeased the people, so no matter how many soldiers you have, you can't beat a small Hongdu. You killed Xu Shouhui and robbed him of his inheritance, and now you have joined forces with Zhang Shicheng several times to destroy my family Yuanzhang, if you don't die, who will die? !

was thinking about it, but I heard footsteps, and when I turned around, it was Xu Da. Ah Xiu wondered in his heart: Now that Yuanzhang has gone to the front line, what are you doing here?

Xu Da walked over and saluted respectfully: "Madam, Madame has not recovered a few days ago, so it is inconvenient for Xu Da to tell Madame the reason, now that the Duke of the Kingdom has gone to war, there are only you and me here, can you listen to Xu Da's words?" ”

Ah Xiu thought to himself: The weasel gave the chicken a New Year's greeting, so he didn't have a good heart. When did you become so respectful to me? His face was silent, and he nodded: "Marshal, please speak." Ah Xiu is willing to hear about it. Xu Da's heroic face showed a trace of embarrassment, and said: "I offended Mrs. that day because I felt that Mrs. had no real talent, but relying on coming from the next generation, I used this to pretend to be a ghost and win the favor of the prince, so I was disdainful, and my words became contemptuous." I am a rough man in the next life, my name is Ni Sichong. ”

Ah Xiu didn't remember this person, so he didn't say anything and continued to listen to him: "I was born on the thirteenth day of the first month of the seventh year of Tongzhi in the Qing Dynasty, and my family is also considered a family of eunuchs. ”

Ah Xiu heard it in a fog, until he heard the words Tongzhi of the Qing Dynasty, Zhang Dashuai, and the eighth year of the Republic of China, like a lightning strike, stupid in place. Xu Da didn't think much about it, thinking that Ah Xiu was shocked that he was a warlord general, so he said: "On July 12, the thirteenth year of the Republic of China, I felt bad, the heat was unbearable, and I had a splitting headache, so I took a few tablets of headache medicine from Western doctors, and then I fainted. When I woke up, somehow, I returned to ancient times and was born in the body of this young Xu Da. ”

"I am an old man, living in the body of a young and strong posterity, very unhappy, at that time, I saw that my wife was very favored, and even Zhu Yuanzhang liked to listen to the opinions of my wife in everything, and I was quite unconvinced. It wasn't until one day that I tried to test my wife with whether to fight or not, but I found that there were many terms from later generations in her words, and I suspected that my wife was also from later generations. ”

"Later, I saw Mrs. divination, there are two words on the wall chart that are different from the current Chinese characters, and under the questioning, I learned that Mrs. is from the next generation, and I feel that Mrs. is favored by Zhu Yuanzhang by pretending to be a ghost, so I offended Mrs. by saying something."

Ah Xiu was already stupid, and only listened to Xu Da continue: "I thought it was a big deal not to be concerned with Mrs. and be more estranged, until I saw you standing up to rescue Zhu Yuanzhang from a distance on the side ship, and when you were dying with an arrow, I felt that Mrs. was a little admirable, and then Mr. Berwyn told me that you were unconscious at that time, and shouted for Zhu Yuanzhang to get out of the cabin. ”

"When I went to apologize, Mrs. ignored her past suspicions in front of the Duke of Guo and covered up for me, and I felt that my measure was not even as good as that of Mrs. a woman. Coupled with the fact that Mr. Berwyn took the opportunity to tell me about your daily life, including the fact that you went to invite Mr. Zhu Sheng out of the mountain, I felt ashamed of my villainous heart. ”

Speaking of this, Xu Da bowed deeply and said: "Please forgive Xu Da, please don't remember what Ni Sichong I am, still treat me as Xu Da!" This Xu Da will definitely do my Xu Da's duty in the future! ”
