Chapter 125: Patient Zhou Hua
"Your brother?" Zheng Sheng suddenly noticed that she had only mentioned her brother in her previous description who was seriously wounded and captured in the war, and she didn't mention anything about what he had experienced after that.
"My brother was also taken to Luoyang as a prisoner of war. However, he was only a junior, and he was captured after being injured in battle and falling into a coma. He was not seen as a general. The old relatives and old friends before were too busy to take care of themselves, so they naturally didn't care about him. He has been living in a small courtyard in Luoyang Xicheng, and there is only one old slave Zhou Zhong who refuses to leave him by his side to take care of him. ”
"He's in the West City, and your mother and daughter are in the Fufeng King's Mansion in the East City. How did you get in touch? Zheng Sheng asked.
"In fact, King Fufeng is on the edge of the town all the year round, and only dozens of slaves are left in the palace. The guards of the mansion gate were very relaxed, and my brother had a chance to find us. However, we were in a difficult situation back then, and my brother was still under surveillance, and he didn't even have the ability to take care of each other. ”
"The old wounds left by my brother in the battle of Xiakou have not healed, and coupled with the anger in my heart, I have been bedridden almost all the year round."
"I've spent all the money I've saved in the palace, but it's not enough. I really don't know how to raise money for my brother's treatment. If it hadn't been for the prince taking me out of the palace, I would probably have married Ying'an and got some money to treat my brother. ”
"I see." Zheng Sheng finally understood why Wanru would agree to marry Ying'an.
"I can help you, your brother is in Luoyang Xicheng? Well, although Xicheng is not far away, if you want to take care of him, it can be a bit time-consuming and laborious. Why don't you let your brother live here too? ”
Help others to the end, not to mention the descendants of famous generals, the ability should be okay. Maybe it can be his help in the future.
Wanru was stunned, and she hesitated a little: "I borrowed money from the prince to treat my brother's illness, but I can't repay it." Let my brother live in Zheng's house? ”
Zheng Sheng waved his hand again and again: "You are too polite." Don't borrow it, I'll help you. ”
"Now, is there still someone from your brother's family who is secretly watching?" Liu Wei'er asked suddenly.
Zheng Sheng was taken aback, he was indeed a little negligent, if Zhou Hua was still guarded by the government, then if he went to befriend Zhou Ye, would he be put on the hat of intent to rebel?
"It was not there a few years ago, and the reason why my brother was able to send Zhou Zhong to see us was because all the secret posts of the government were removed. My brother is now a debout, who poses no threat to the Jin Dynasty. Wanru said softly.
Zheng Sheng glanced at Liu Yan'er, "Then we will go to Xicheng tomorrow to meet your brother." ”
Wanru left happily.
Liu Wei'er changed him to hot tea. Zheng Sheng motioned for her to sit on a chair beside her.
"It's late at night, it's time to go to bed. Sniff, are you going to the outer world? Or do I go to the outer room? Zheng Sheng suddenly asked seriously.
Liu Wei'er looked at her suspiciously.
Zheng Sheng pulled her into his arms and said softly, "I'm worried that I'll eat you like a fruit!" ”
Zheng Sheng couldn't help but smile bitterly. In the early years, I only thought she was smart and sensible, although she was indeed superior to Qing'er in terms of appearance. But he can still look at it with a normal heart. In the past two years, the relationship between the two has become more and more inventive and profound, and she has become longer and more prominent. It was nice to hold her, of course, but he was worried that he didn't have enough endurance.
Last night, Wen Xiang Nephrite was in his arms, and he thought several times, thinking that he would simply "eat" her. It was so easy for him to control himself.
Zheng Sheng decided that in the future, he would only hold hands and hug for the time being.
Actually, this is because he has no experience with other intimate movements.
Liu Wei'er slept in the outer room. Zheng Sheng felt uncomfortable, as if he had lost something.
The next day, Zheng Sheng, who was a little sluggish, rode on a horse, followed by a carriage carrying Liu Wen'er and Wanru, and headed for Xicheng.
Their destination was in Guangyangli, east of Guangyangmen in the western city.
When he arrived at the destination, Zheng Sheng discovered that Guangyangli could be regarded as part of Luoyang Gold City. In Luoyang City, east of Guangyang Gate, there is a wide street about a mile long across the gold market, which is called "gold market street". This is where some big grain merchants, big pawnshops and slightly lower level inns and restaurants and Qinglou teaching workshops are located.
To the north and east of Jinshi Street is Jinshi. To the south is a neighborhood where several civilians gathered. Among them, the closest to Guangyangmen is Guangyangli.
Zheng Sheng looked at the Guangyang City Gate not far away, which was also tall and majestic.
Look at Guangyangli again, dilapidated, messy, and dirty. A few children playing at the gate of Lifang saw Zheng Sheng and his party and ran home in a panic.
Zheng Sheng asked Wanru, who got out of the car, "Do you know where your brother lives?" ”
Wanru looked into the depths of the alley and hesitated, "I've been here." Zheng Shizi, I'll go first and ask, is it okay? ”
Zheng Sheng thought to himself that it was okay, an outsider like him, when they met for the first time, Zhou Hua must be strongly wary.
Wanru walked into the fang. Zheng Sheng stood in front of Jinshi Street, looking at Guangyangmen in a daze.
Liu Wen'er stood quietly beside him.
After a long time, Zheng Sheng asked quietly: "Sniff, you said that with such a tall city gate, you will definitely be able to resist the invasion of foreign thieves, right?" ”
Zheng Sheng sighed like this, because he suddenly couldn't understand why this majestic city couldn't resist the invasion of Wuhu in the future? Such a city can't stop foreign enemies, what's the point of what he does?
Liu Wei'er understood Zheng Sheng's hidden worries, because she did not doubt what he had said. Although she didn't understand how Zheng Sheng knew.
But she doesn't care about the overall situation in the world, she's just a little woman.
"The son of the world, things are man-made. If we are strong enough, we can defeat even the strongest foreign enemy. She said softly.
Zheng Sheng gently held her hand, trembling slightly, and he said with some excitement: "I only really understand the meaning of being prepared for danger in times of peace until now." But with such a city, the people in the city probably no longer worry about the safety of the country, right? Although Xiongcheng is good, it has also dispelled some people's sense of crisis! ”
Liu Wei'er shook his hand back, as if she wanted to pass on her strength to him, she frowned and looked at the city gate and the street, prosperous and prosperous, how many people think of him in peace?
"Shizi, you will definitely do well." Liu Wen'er said softly.
"Be prepared for danger in times of peace! Good! A hoarse voice suddenly remembered.
Zheng Sheng and Liu Yan'er hurriedly let go of their hands and looked behind them.
I saw Wanru supporting a tall, thin, sick-looking man.
"Shizi, this is my brother Zhou Hua." Graceful.
Zheng Sheng arched his hand and said: "Jingzhou Zheng Sheng." ”
"Zhou Hua, the sinner of the previous dynasty." Zhou Hua said.
"Zheng Shizi, what you just said: be prepared for danger in times of peace. I understand Ju'an, but think of danger? What danger are you thinking? ”
Zheng Sheng thought for a moment: "Think about the danger that may occur." For example, the Hu people. ”
"The Hu people are indeed a big problem." Zhou Hua smiled, "It's a pity, you're just a young man, not a powerful minister and commander who holds power." ”
Zhou Hua seemed to think of something, and coughed violently. Wanru patted him on the back. After a long time, Zhou Hua raised his head and said with a weak expression: "Are you willing to help me, not afraid of causing trouble?" ”
