"Children, don't be greedy, children, after Laba is the New Year. Laba porridge, drink it for a few days, and it will be twenty-three. Twenty-three, sugar melon sticky, twenty-four, sweeping day, twenty-five, grinding tofu, twenty-six, cutting pork, twenty-seven, adding new clothes, twenty-eight, putting noodles, twenty-nine, steaming steamed buns, thirty children stay up at night, go to pay New Year's greetings on the first day of the new year......"

It was another sunny day, and in an alley that intersected with Xuanwumen Street, in the cold wind, there were a few children setting off firecrackers. A few children on the sidelines clapped their hands red and sang catchy nursery rhymes in their mouths.

The sound was so loud that a group of people who passed by on horseback on the streets of Xuanwumen also stopped their horses and looked at the place where the sound came from. The young man at the head was originally described as handsome, but a slight scar on his left cheek ruined his face and made people look a little fierce. He listened carefully for a moment, until he had heard all the nursery rhymes, and then he smiled thoughtfully.

"I remember that when I was celebrating the New Year in the capital, I didn't seem to have heard such nursery rhymes."

A few fierce men on the side looked at me, and finally they all shook their heads and said that they had never heard of it before. Seeing this scene, the young man led by him rode to the side of the road, found a pastry shop that was still open, and inquired directly about the nursery rhyme. The guy was taken aback by the young man's appearance, and after a little caution, he thought about it for a while before he smiled and opened his mouth.

"Childe is asking this nursery rhyme, many people in the capital know it! It is said that on the twenty-third day of the first lunar month, the son-in-law of the Duke of Zhao Guo coaxed a wrestling child in the temple, and it spread out as soon as he came and went, and many children would sing it, and within two days, the children in the whole city clapped their hands and sang endlessly. Don't say it, it's really easy to remember, it's fun! ”

Hearing the words Chenglong Jia's son-in-law, the scar on the young man's face trembled slightly, but then he laughed casually: "I have also heard of the reputation of that Dr. Zhang, but I didn't expect him to have the kung fu to do such a thing." ”

"Ahem, he's done so many amazing things! Guozijian Banshan Hall, Childe, do you know? In the past, those gentlemen fought cocks and walked dogs when they had nothing to do, and they were smoky and miasma, and they have been studying hard for the past few months. It's really the sun hitting the west and coming out, fresh! ”

The guy was obviously very rappy, and the young man with a scar on his face in front of him did not speak fiercely, but with a somewhat gentle and elegant atmosphere, he was a little relieved: "I heard that among the people who do their homework in Wen Shu, there is the second son of the Zhao State Mansion!" It is said that the person has completed most of his homework, and only a few arithmetic problems are left, and he still refuses to ask Lu Saburo for help. ”

"Childe, you look like you're also from a big family, Lu Saburo should know, right? Hey, that's the chief of Jiuzhangtang, the prodigal son who has been praised by the emperor himself has turned back to become a genius, one of Dr. Zhang's most proud disciples, and he used to be a good friend of the second young master of Zhao Guogong's mansion. Now looking at the famous fox friends and dog friends who used to be together, Zhu Ergongzi must also be angry. ”

Hearing this, the young man nodded at the person, but he sent someone to buy two boxes of snacks in the store casually, and after giving the money, he said that he didn't need to look for it, but it made the guy who got the unexpected reward overjoyed. It wasn't until he left the small shop, seeing that the guards around him all had strange faces, and it was obvious that they were holding back just now, that the young man smiled and said, "What, you think it's incredible?" ”

"Eldest prince, it's not that we don't believe it, it's really unbelievable!"

"If the second young master really changes his temperament, when the old man mentioned the second young master before, he won't be so distressed!"

"And the little fat man of the Lu family, although I haven't seen it, but I've heard it, it was a hob meat in the capital at the beginning, the two sons of the Lu family became talents, and he was a small straw bag, and even Lu Shangshu hated it. Now such a person has become a genius praised by the emperor himself, I really don't believe it, even if I hear it a thousand times, I don't believe it! ”

The one who is called the eldest prince is Zhu Tingfang, the eldest son of Zhu Jing, the Duke of Zhao. He glanced at everyone, was silent for a moment, and then smiled faintly: "Hengzhu is going home soon, whether it's true or not, you'll know if it's a try." If it weren't for the fact that I could see more real things when I suddenly came home, I wouldn't have hidden the exact date of my family's return. Let's go, hurry back! ”

Since he didn't inform his family of the exact return date, when he went home this time, Zhu Tingfang deliberately abandoned the main gate and went straight to the back street. When he reined in at the back door, he deliberately glanced at the house not far away that was suspected to be Zhang Shou's temporary residence, and then dismounted. And as soon as he strode into the door, the first few men followed, and the few servants and children playing at the door were simply stunned.

Who is this, who is it that he so brazenly went straight to the Zhao State Mansion?

Hearing the children's shouting, the few servants who drove out initially thought that someone had trespassed, and subconsciously wanted to shout loudly, but when Zhu Tingfang glanced at it lightly, they took a closer look and recognized it as the eldest young master. It's only been more than half a year since he left home, and now the eldest young master is not only much thinner than he was at the beginning, but also has an extra scar on his face, and they almost dare not recognize it!

Even if someone hurriedly tried to report the matter to Qing'an Hall, when Mrs. Tai heard the news of the eldest grandson's return, Zhu Tingfang had already come to the outside of the hall in front of Qing'an Hall. She couldn't help but clench the Buddhist beads in her hand when she heard this, and scolded with a smile: "This kid, I thought he was leading an army to raid and want to surprise us?" The family has obviously released people at the gate of the city, but there is no news to send it! ”

And the one who reacted more fiercely than Mrs. Tai was Zhu Ying. Miss Zhu Huo Ran stood up, and said with a slightly red face: "I'll go to greet the eldest brother and ask him what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd!" What is this for? ”

Jiuniang saw that Zhu Ying had already run out like a gust of wind, so she glanced at Zhang Shou, who was still drinking tea calmly at this moment, and said with a smile: "Those who come are not good, those who are good are not coming, Da Lang came back so coincidentally, probably he also wanted to see Ah Shou for the first time." Although he was out fighting before, he must have heard the name Ah Shou and made his ears calloused. ”

Zhang Shou listened attentively, and only listened to Zhu Ying's loud shouting outside, and then somehow the voice became quieter. He just didn't see Jiu Niang's playful gaze, and said calmly: "If I guessed correctly, Master Zhu should have experienced the wind and frost war outside, so even if the acquaintances are not so easy to recognize, the relatives with him may not be the ones he brought when he went out." ”

Mrs. Tai couldn't help laughing: "It's possible, otherwise I would have thought that the people sent to the city gate by my family would be blind!" ”

The next moment, a calm voice came from outside the door: "Grandmother, mother, I rushed back in the starry night, and I didn't report to my family in advance, so I worried you, it's all my fault." ”

With these words, Zhang Shou saw a bright jade hand open the door curtain, and followed by a young man with sword eyebrows and a straight posture who crossed the threshold and saw the room. Finding that there was a scar on the left cheek of the person, Zhou was a little emaciated, but when his eyes looked at him, there was an indescribable spirit of fierceness, so he stood up.

Sure enough, before the person could speak, Zhu Ying's figure appeared behind him: "Ah Shou, this is my eldest brother!" ”

Seeing Zhu Ying desperately squeezing her eyebrows at herself, revealing an expression that you must be careful, Zhang Shou couldn't help but smile dumbly, and immediately arched his hand: "I've seen Master Zhu." ”

Zhu Tingfang's gaze shot towards Zhang Shou like a sharp arrow, however, his eyes, which could even intimidate the soldiers in the army, fell on Zhang Shou but were somewhat ineffective, and he saw the handsome young man in front of him standing calmly as usual, looking directly into his eyes with clear and calm eyes. After looking at each other for a moment, he laughed and returned the salute.

"I have heard the name of Dr. Zhang for a long time, and I can see him at home as soon as I return to Beijing, it is really better to be famous than to meet, and it is better to meet than to be famous." He was about to continue to say something, when he suddenly noticed that his sleeve was being pulled, and when he saw Zhu Ying glaring at him angrily, he sighed secretly, and then he could only pretend not to see it, and after shaking her off, he stepped forward to salute Mrs. Tai and Jiuniang.

And Mrs. Tai couldn't help but be a little worried when she first met this pair of would-be uncles, but when she saw Zhu Tingfang's appearance clearly, her worry suddenly turned into worry, and before Zhu Tingfang bowed down, she stretched out her hand and dragged the person up.

"Da Lang, what the hell is going on with you before, you ...... face"

Zhu Tingfang smiled casually: "The sword and arrow have no eyes, since it is a battle, it is inevitable to bump and bump, it is all over, it's okay, grandmother, don't worry." ”

However, although Mrs. Tai looked at her eldest grandson up and down, Jiu Niang couldn't help frowning and looking at this elderly stepson. Her gaze moved down Zhu Tingfang's broken face, and she carefully studied his movements, and then her eyes suddenly froze, and she asked in a deep voice: "Da Lang, have you been injured in your chest, abdomen and right flank?" ”

When Zhu Tingfang went out earlier, he didn't expect that his stepmother, who had always been the most stubborn, would come back, and at this time, he also didn't expect that Jiu Niang would abandon the consistent character of seeing through and not saying anything back then, and bluntly said what was wrong with him. Seeing that Mrs. Tai's face changed greatly, she grabbed his arm and refused to let go, he could only put Zhang Shou's matter behind him first.

"Grandmother, mother, on the battlefield, it is impossible not to take any risks, just like my father was not full of scars in the past, and there were few pieces of good meat? I'm still young, these skin and flesh suffering, it's good to recuperate for a while......"

Seeing that Zhu Tingfang, who had just been cold to himself, knelt down on one knee in front of the soft couch, softened his attitude, and comforted the two elders with sincerity, Zhang Shou saw that Zhu Ying on the side was full of discouragement, so he moved to her side quietly, and said in a low voice: "Why don't you help comfort and comfort your grandmother and your mother?" ”

Zhu Ying's complexion changed for a while, and suddenly she took Zhang Shou's hand and walked out. And her action suddenly woke up Zhu Tingfang, and when he looked back, he saw the pair of young men and women disappearing outside the door. He chuckled in his heart, but then a hand was placed heavily on his shoulder.

"Da Lang, you don't have to say those false words to comfort our mother! Manly husband, blood, sweat and tears, you have been such a bitter character since you were a child, but because of this, you say it's okay, we can't believe it! I know you've been away for so long, thinking about home, about us, about your sister and future brother-in-law, and about your second brother......"

Mrs. Tai suddenly paused and said word by word: "But now, you yourself are the most important." ”

When Mrs. Tai was trying to pry open the eldest grandson's mouth and ask what happened during the time when she disappeared before she was revealed, in the courtyard outside the gate of Qing'an Hall, Zhu Ying impatiently drove away those girls and servants, and then looked at Zhang Shou with a complicated face, and then said softly: "Ah Shou, I just reunited with my eldest brother after a long absence, and I can't help it...... I couldn't help but hug him! ”

Zhang Shou was stunned for a moment. But it's not because of the hug of other brothers and sisters, but ...... Zhu Ying actually confessed to him about such a thing! Could it be that she thinks he is such a stingy person? But when he thought about it again, his face gradually became solemn.

"When you hugged your eldest brother, did he react wrongly? Is your face wrong, or can't help but snort in pain? ”

"Both!" Zhu Ying saw that Zhang Shou understood what she meant, and couldn't help but look a little pale, but she still couldn't help but hold Zhang Shou's hand and didn't let go, "Ah Shou, eldest brother has always been the strongest person, when he was a child, he was injured in martial arts, and most of them were silent, and when I just greeted him, I heard that he rode to the back door of the house. ”

"But when I just hugged him, I was excited, and ...... In addition, I was annoyed that he attacked so suddenly, so I squeezed his wound very hard, probably like this! ”

The more Zhu Ying spoke, the more annoyed her expression became: "You say, do we want to invite a doctor now?" ”

Zhang Shou was silent for a moment, and saw that Yutang Yulan, Li's mother and others suddenly came out of the room without saying a word, and when Li's mother went out, she also glanced at Zhu Ying, but the eldest lady didn't see it at all, so he pulled Zhu Ying into the house again without saying a word. The moment he crossed the threshold, he saw that Zhu Tingfang had been directly stripped of his robe by Jiu Niang.

Faced with this scene, he couldn't help but glance at Zhu Ying, who was staring wide-eyed beside him, and then saw Zhu Tingfang, who turned his head when he heard the movement, with a face full of embarrassment and shame, so he coughed lightly and said: "Master Zhu went home first, it should be because he was worried about his family, but you are a general who is fighting abroad, and now that you have returned to Beijing, even if the military department has been sealed, shouldn't you ask to see the emperor first?" ”

"Yes, yes, I almost lost my public office because of my own personal affairs!" Zhu Tingfang felt that Zhang Shou's excuse was just right, and hurriedly reached out to grab the robe from his stepmother's hand, but he stretched out his hand and grabbed it. In desperation, he simply hurriedly took two steps back, and said seriously, "My robe is indeed not suitable for wearing out, I will go back to the room to change my clothes and go to the palace to see the emperor!" ”

Seeing Zhu Tingfang fleeing and leaving, Zhang Shou saw Jiu Niang's face showing anger, and Mrs. Tai looked at him with a smile, so he smiled at them as if he was fine, but he still dragged Zhu Ying, who wanted to chase after his eldest brother.

"Mrs. Tai, Aunt Jiu, Yingying. The eldest prince is an adult, he has his own ideas about some things, although we care about him, but don't persecute too much, otherwise the effect will be counterproductive. ”

"Zhao Guogong should also know about his injury, but since he was released back, it must be expected. At this moment, instead of letting everyone outside think that he is a successful general, it is better to let him stand up first and fulfill his desire and determination to pretend to be casual in front of others. ”

Zhu Ying was about to refute, but as soon as her eyes rolled, she said loudly: "Okay, Ah Shou and I will accompany my eldest brother into the palace together!" ”
