The moon is like a hook, the stars are dotted, and the two figures support each other to climb the stone steps of the stands, and then sit down.

Ma Du raised the wine bottle in his hand and said, "I never thought that I would see you again, let alone that you would come to the academy, and when I saw you for the first time, I was frightened." ”

"Huh...... The students were also terrified, and the broken rocker arm of the steam engine almost cut off my head. ”

"Haha...... Another toast to your immortality and our reunion! ”

The bottles in their hands collided with each other and made a pleasant jingle sound, and they drank a lot of gasp, and then leaned against the stands, gasping for a long breath.

It wasn't until the cool night breeze woke up three points of wine that Ma Du asked softly, "Tell me how you've spent all these years." ”

Wu Fuzhong sighed and said: "That year, we had nowhere to go, so my aunt took us back to our hometown in Xinghua to hide, only claiming to be the three aunts and nephews who were in distress.

During the war, no one recognized us, so my aunt bought a small house in the city to take our brother to live, and asked my husband to teach us to read.

At first life was fine, but then life was down, and she spun and weaved day and night, and eventually became ill, and she died when I was nine years old. ”

"Baijin is dead...... Ma Du thought of the woman who begged him outside Pingjiang City, and there was a faint pain in his heart, "How could she become ill from hard work, when we broke up, I gave her nine Da Nan Zhu and a lot of scattered gold and silver, even if you live extravagantly, you three can live a lifetime, could it be that you were robbed?" ”

Wu Fuzhong lowered his head and was silent when he heard this, and Ma Du asked again: "What about your brother?" You should start a family, right? ”

Wu Fuzhong shook his head slowly, "He also died, earlier than my aunt went." ”

"Could it be that he also has rubella?"

"Alas...... That's not it, he's got ...... Flower willow disease died. ”

"Oh." Hearing Wu Fuzhong say this, Ma Du understood why their lives were down, a declining prince was full of resentment towards the Ming Dynasty but had no choice but to buy flowers and get drunk and paralyze himself. One can imagine how difficult it was for Baijin, a faithful servant, to face the unbridled demands of the young master.

"I should have given more than 100 gold."

Wu Fuzhong said: "It's none of my husband's business, my brother hurt my aunt, but I don't want to admit it in my heart." After the death of her brother, my aunt was sad that she had not fulfilled the trust entrusted by her father and mother, and soon became ill.

Soon after she knew her fate, she entrusted me to the husband who taught me to read, and the husband loved me and treated me like a parent, and took the initiative to betroth my daughter to marry me. ”

"If she sees you in the spirit of the sky, she will be glad to see you enter the court as an official on the gold list, but I am afraid that she will never want you to make a senseless sacrifice with resentment."

Wu Fuzhong turned his head to look at Ma Du for a long time before saying, "Sir, do you think that I went to great lengths to gain fame for revenge?" ”

Madu asked rhetorically, "Isn't it?" ”

"Of course not, as Mr. said, now that the foundation of the Ming Dynasty is solid, how can students shake the tree, not to mention that I have resentment in my heart, how can I take revenge, I seek fame and fame, one is to repay my father-in-law, and the other is to one day be able to work in Suzhou and benefit the local people."

"But your name?"

Wu Fuzhong smiled and said: "This is what my brother gave me, so that I don't forget the foundation established by my father who is the enemy of the country and the family, and he also said a lot of bad things about Mr., so that I can seek revenge on Mr. in the future, but he himself indulged in wine and went early." ”

"You don't hate me?"

"Don't hate. As others commented, my father's short-sightedness and indulgence in enjoyment will be ruined sooner or later. Although my brother often spoke ill of my husband, my aunt often mentioned the benefits of my husband, and I knew that if it were not for him, my brother would have been a prisoner many years ago. ”

He sighed and continued: "If you used to have a little resentment towards that person, until one day I asked Brother Huzi if he hated Zhang Shicheng. Brother Huzi told me that it was reasonable for his father to go to Pingjiang to dig my father's wall and was caught and killed.

My father is the same, presumably from the day of the rebellion, life and death should be put aside, and there is nothing to say about the success or defeat of the king. What's more, my father has killed many people, and if everyone comes to me for revenge, I will not be able to pay for it with a hundred lives.

Over the years, I have checked a lot of books and learned about the situation of the year, and my father's last journey was sent by my husband, so I must have walked more peacefully. ”

"I gave him the opportunity to commit suicide, and I can't stand you."

"When I got to Yingtian with my father's character, I would only die worse when I met him, so I just asked my husband to tell me where my father was buried, hoping to go and pay respects."

"I didn't know it originally, but I only heard Wei Guogong say two years ago that he had your father's body cremated and buried under the old locust tree in the temple where the princess often went to incense.

Wu Fuzhong nodded, "The student knows, and after I return to my hometown to get married, I will transfer to Suzhou to worship." It's not early, so let's go home early and rest, and the students will report to the ministry tomorrow. ”

He was about to get up when he found Madu tugging at his sleeve, "Sir, still have something to tell me?" ”

Ma Du got up and looked back and forth, made sure that there was no one around, and hesitated for a long time before saying: "Actually, you don't have to stay in Daming to be an official, even if you don't want to go to the academy to teach, there is a better place to go." ”

"What place is the gentleman talking about?"

"Well, the Great Wu Kingdom."

Wu Fuzhong grinned and said, "Mr. is drunk, right?" ”

"I'm not drunk, what I just said is the Great Wu Kingdom, the Wu Kingdom established by your father has been rebuilt by a woman far overseas, and now there are more than 10,000 people and thousands of soldiers, but the territory is not small comparable to the Ming Dynasty."

Seeing that Wu Fuzhong was still at a loss, Ma Du made it clear: "This woman's name is Zhang Minzhu, and she said that she hugged you when you were born." ”

"Zhang Minzhu? It's the second sister! Wu Fuzhong grabbed Ma Du's hand excitedly, but tried his best to suppress his voice, "You said that the second sister is still alive!" I also returned to my country overseas! Father and eldest brother can be blinded! Woohoo......"

Wu Fuzhong lowered his head and cried twice, and suddenly raised his head, "Mr. won't lie to me, how do you know about the second sister." ”

"It's the place I found for her to return to China, how could I not know, speaking of which, I'm still your brother-in-law."

"Brother-in-law?" Wu Fuzhong's face twitched, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

"To be more precise, I'm her man, and I have to congratulate you on being an uncle."

Wu Fuzhong smiled bitterly, "What the hell is going on, Mr. should tell me in detail." ”

"This is a long story, Hongwu three years I was ordered to suppress the Japanese, after cleaning up the Japanese entrenched in Penghu, and the main force of the Japanese in the South China Sea battle, back to Penghu when repairing accidentally fell into the enemy's trap and was captured. The person who captured me was Jang Min-joo......

The last time I saw her was in Penghu, and she told me that she had established herself overseas and that she was developing well. Hearing me say that you are in the academy, your eyes are swollen from crying, and you asked me to find your brother and Baijin. ”

Ma Du patted him on the shoulder and persuaded: "Isn't it good to go overseas, I can not only reunite my sister and brother, but also contribute to the Great Wu Kingdom, maybe I will go there and let you be the king directly." Mr. Luo, who wrote "Three Kingdoms" in the academy, used to be a staff member next to your father and your sister is also an old acquaintance, and when the time comes, you can tie him up and go with him, you can be a scholar or something, and An Huzi will also be a general or marshal or something. ”

Wu Fuzhong sneered, "I'm afraid that Brother Huzi is reluctant to pass on the official position of a hundred households!" ”

He took off a jade jade pendant from his neck, which was the jade fish that Zhang Shicheng gave to Ma Du back then, and later Ma Du handed it over to Baijin, "My aunt has kept this thing, no matter how my brother asks for it, it is estimated that it is to leave me a way out." This is Mrs. Chen's thing, and when Mr. sees the second sister in the future, he will give it to her, and it should be my gift to my nephew. ”

"Are you really not going?"

Wu Fuzhong nodded heavily, "Don't go, I'll pay back what my father owes to the people of Suzhou!" ”
