Chapter Seventy-Six: The New Year

Every year in Chang'an, there are snowflakes in winter, of course, these snowflakes are undoubtedly inspiration for some people, or beautiful scenery, but for others, the arrival of snowflakes means that they do not have enough clothes to keep warm, so they have to sit around the fire and roast the fire.

Zhang Yunwen kicked open the door, and suddenly, the cold wind mixed with flying snowflakes rushed into the house.

"Oh, the third child, you're back, I miss my brother!"

As soon as Zhang Yunwen entered the door, he was hugged by two big men.

"Woo, third, look at our brothers, the whole person has lost weight, it's so hard!"

"Your master is too much, he uses the two brothers to practice tricks every day, which time didn't he beat us to a bruised nose and swollen face, woo, the third child, you have to avenge us!"

……

Zhang Yunwen was immediately speechless.

In a few days, it will be a young man, and Wei Chigong will release the two brothers from the barracks and reunite with Zhang Yunwen.

Hearing the two brothers talk like this, Zhang Yunwen suddenly looked annoyed: "It's too much, Master, he dares to beat the two elder brothers, and I'll look for him to comment on the third brother!" It's a big deal, if we don't accept this marriage! ”

Hearing the previous words, Liu Yong and Liu Wu were still very happy, but when they heard the back, they hurriedly grabbed Zhang Yunwen.

"Stop, third, we know, General Wei Chi is doing this for our good! Well, in your words, what is it called 'sweating more in peacetime and bleeding less in wartime', so the third child, don't go to General Wei Chi for comment! ”

"Uh-huh!"

Zhang Yunwen smiled secretly, and no longer asked about the matter, but instead asked how the Liu brothers were doing in the barracks.

The two of them, although they are Wei Chigong's personal soldiers, are government soldiers after all, and they are trained in a Zhichong Mansion near Chang'an. This is the agricultural slack season, and many government soldiers take advantage of this time to come to Ochichong Province for training in order to deal with the war that arises at any time.

And Wei Chigong sometimes went to Na Zhechong Mansion to train the soldiers who were placed there.

"Don't worry, the third brother is very good in the barracks, and it's no problem to fight three of them. On the first day, we hit a few, and they all call us big brother now! ”

Zhang Yunwen nodded, it seems that the two elder brothers are really good in the military camp, but they were just too lazy to suffer that sin. Now that I have the motivation for life, I am suddenly running wild on the road of life with full horsepower.

took Yang Chang's family to the mansion again, and the empty house suddenly became a little more popular.

In the blink of an eye, the Chinese New Year's Eve arrived. During this period, the children of Li Shimin, who had tasted the stove sugar and were greedy, all poured into Zhang Yunwen's mansion on the day of their childhood, even if it was Li Chengqian, who was a young man and an old man, and the county lord of Xiangcheng, who had just grown up. So, that day, the people in the house were busy, cooking a big pot of stove candy and other snacks, so that the children could eat with a smile. Along with the maids and guards on the side, they also shared some.

Li Yu, the county lord of Runan, looked at Zhang Yunwen with a smile and picked up a little county lord who looked like a two-year-old, stepped forward and said, "Brother Yunwen, this is Sister Baling!" As he spoke, he pointed to another little girl who was only one or two years old and said, "This is Sister Yuzhang!" Now here they are the youngest! There are also two younger siblings who can't walk, so they didn't come here! ”

Zhang Yunwen suddenly sweated profusely, this Li Shimin is too good at giving birth, look at the children in this yard, there are almost ten now! If it were according to the standard of fines for family planning, Li Shimin would probably have been fined tens of thousands of yuan.

On the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, Zhang Yunwen and his two brothers sat on the kang and ate dumplings wrapped by Zhang Yunwen, drinking fairy drunkenness, and were very happy.

Tonight they need a vigil and can't sleep.

Seeing that the sky was getting dark, there was a sudden sound of "crackling" firecrackers outside. This firecracker is a real firecracker. A piece of dried bamboo tube was thrown into the fire, and after a while, the sound of the bamboo tube bursting was heard, not loud, but crisp and pleasant.

When Zhang Yunwen came to the courtyard, he saw the maids and maids in a circle, and in the middle was a fire, which had already lit firecrackers, and there was a crackling sound from time to time. Every time this voice sounded, the laughter of the maids almost drowned out the sound of firecrackers.

Mei Xiang saw Zhang Yunwen coming, smiled at him, and stared at the roaring fire.

In fact, Zhang Yunwen didn't stay in this house for a long time every day, but these maids were able to recognize them. In addition, their management is very lax, which also creates a situation where a maid can throw him a blank eye, and a family member can call him a brother. However, the so-called slave bully does not exist, one is that these maids know that Zhang Yunwen is a military general, and he is like a murderer, and when he first saw him, he was stunned by the murderous aura on his body. Second, these maids were all born in the Qin Palace, and they had undergone strict training. Although the owner has been replaced by Zhang Yunwen now, the Qin Wangfu still has to send people to check the situation in the mansion every six months.

Zhang Yunwen didn't mind this.

Zhang Yunwen looked at the firecrackers lit in the fire, and unconsciously thought of the grenade he hid in the mezzanine of the room, that thing was thrown here, and the momentum was much louder than this firecracker. But I'm afraid that this circle of people will also be finished.

Thinking of this, Zhang Yunwen couldn't help but smile slightly, quickly returned to the room, took out a grenade, removed the ignition device, and poured out the gunpowder inside.

However, to Zhang Yunwen's surprise, the poured gunpowder turned out to be lumpy, and there was obvious layering. I couldn't help but pat my head, alas, the expiration date of this home-made grenade has arrived.

Putting the grenade back in its place, Zhang Yunwen decided to reprocess the gunpowder as soon as the New Year passed.

Half-asleep and half-awake kept watch all night, and on the second day, Chang'an City was filled with a joyful atmosphere.

At this time, the Tang Dynasty had completely unified China. In the fifth year of Wude, after Li Xiaogong and Li Jing destroyed Xiao Liang's regime, Lingnan Feng Ang took the forty-nine states of Lingnan to join the Tang Dynasty. Then the two of them had the help of pacifying Jiangnan, and the entire territory of the Tang Dynasty reached the territory of the former Sui Dynasty.

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Zhang Yunwen opened the door of the natural residence and took out a cart of good wine from it, and then regardless of whether people liked it or not, starting from the Qin Wangfu, everyone in the Tiance Mansion and the officials he knew well sent a few jars of wine. As a result, one car was not enough, so I went to pull another car.

In the end, the eldest grandson came out to Zhang Yunwen and said, "Yunwen, the wine money for these two cars of wine will be deducted from your dividends!" So Zhang Yunwen immediately stopped this kind of behavior.

In this way, it has been making noise about the arrival of the Shangyuan Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. During this time, Zhang Yunwen messed around with the Liu brothers and the cadres of the reconnaissance battalion all day long, and played happily for more than ten days.

On the day of the Shangyuan Festival, Zhang Yunwen was about to go out with a group of people to enjoy the lanterns, but Lin Ran from the Drunken Cloud Building found him.
