The next day, the old lady got up very early, and came to visit Zhu Minghua. Yesterday scared her enough. If my son is really stupid, how will I live the rest of my life? When he entered the house and saw that his son was up and everything was normal, he said reassuringly: "Bao'er, do you recognize your mother?" ”

"Recognize, aren't you my mother? Yesterday you went to touch porcelain in the Mayuanwaifu. ”

The old lady didn't know what it meant to touch porcelain, but when she saw that her son was okay and didn't care about anything else, she said happily: "Xu Banxian said that you may suffer from amnesia, let Weiniang tell you more about the family." ”

"Okay, mother, you can say it."

"Okay, my mother said. Our family is the twelfth grandson of Taizu, the king of Chu, you remember, you are the son of heaven and nobleman of Zhenggen, you still have a position, you are a lieutenant of the auxiliary country registered by the Ministry of Rites, 200 stone meters a year, although there is not much left now, but you can still get the title of lieutenant of the auxiliary country. ”

Zhu Minghua listened to the old lady babbling about some trivial things, and said: "Mother, okay, I know this, what about my father?" ”

When the old lady heard this, her eyes turned red and she said: "Your father was gone last year, and your father wants to live, and our orphans and widows still have to be bullied." The year before last, your father saw a merchant's carriage passing by in the street, and he was thinking about getting some silver to make clothes for our mother, but he didn't expect that the foreign killer didn't know the rules of Huguang, and saw that your father didn't stop the carriage when he got under the wheels, and your father was gone. ”

Zhu Minghua heard this black line on his face: "What kind of person is this, the husband touches the porcelain, and the wife scolds the street, it's really strange." ”

The old lady continued: "Later, Weiniang took you and your uncle to catch the SC merchant and go to the county government to fight a lawsuit, so that the murder of the merchant only paid 1,000 taels of silver. ”

"One thousand taels, I remember seeing an article on the Internet before, in the late Ming Dynasty, one tael of silver is equivalent to a thousand yuan in modern times, one thousand taels of silver is one million in later generations, and one million lives are one million.

Zhu Minghua said: "Mother, look at you as if a thousand taels are less?" ”

The old lady replied indignantly: "Of course, that merchant has a relative who is the governor of HN, and it seems that he has something to do with the county order, or you think that a thousand taels can be done." A few years ago, General Zhenguo of Wuchang led people to loot the caravan and killed more than 20 people, so what's wrong? In the end, the emperor did not sentence Fengyang to imprisonment. At that time, my mother also thought, after all, our family is in the county, and the big officials are good at seeing the little ghosts, and they will inevitably have to deal with He County Commander in the future, and they will have a hard time with our mother. ”

Zhu Minghua thought: "I didn't expect the old lady to have this knowledge, that's right, now you are the eldest brother, and when you ask me in the future, let you pull Qingdan." ”

Zhu Minghua saw that his mother was immersed in the memories with his father, and muttered something about how many people came when he got married, everyone came to the Chu Palace, what was the golden book of the Ministry of Rites, etc. interrupted his mother's memories and said: "Mother, what is my father's name, what is my name, I remember that my name is Zhu San'er." ”

When my mother heard me ask this, she said embarrassedly: "The name of our Chu Fan set by Taizu at that time should be pressed: Meng Jijun is honorable, Yinghua is prosperous, Hongcai is promoted to Boyan, and Mao Shili is full of merit, and it is arranged. Your father is a Rongzi generation, called Zhu Rong 21, and your name is Zhu Hongsan. ”

"What? My father's name is Zhu Rong Twenty-one? ”

"The gang of killers in the Ministry of Rites don't like to use their brains to choose names, and the characters should be reserved for the prince and the county king, and clans like ours can only use the ranking of birthdays, your father ranked twenty-one in the Chu Domain, and your birthday was the first day of the new year, ranking third, so you have a good name."

"That's a good name?" Zhu Minghua shouted.

The old lady said: "This is not bad, I heard your father say that there are strange names, such as Zhu Suzha, the king of Anchang of the Zhou Domain, and Zhu Gongzhu, the king of Weichuan; Lu Fan's new Cai Wang Zhu Xinhang; Su Huai Wang Zhu Shen blocked; Zhu Xianyan, the king of Xiangyin of the Liao Domain, and Zhu Chongyan, the king of Hengyang; Zhu Shuo, the retired king of the Tang Dynasty; Zhu Changluan, King of Xianping, and Zhu Changlu, King of Yanjin, of the Hui Domain; Zhu Changji, the king of Puyang, and Zhu Youtiao, the king of Renhua, of the Yi Domain. The most bullish are Zhu Ganwa, the king of Qiyang, and Zhu Gan, the king of Guangji. Do you like a name like that? ”

Zhu Minghua laughed after hearing this: "I'll still call my pig's head three, no matter how I say it, it's better than Zhu Youtiao and Zhu Ganwa." ”

The old lady saw her son laughing, it seemed that there should be no serious illness, and she said happily: "Okay, it's not the pig's head three, it's Zhu Hongsan, son, breakfast is ready, you go to the kitchen to eat, my mother still has to take care of the shop in the front yard, you can play by yourself after eating, remember not to go to Majiazhuang outside the city, stay away from that broom star." ”

"Broom star? What does it mean? "Zhu Minghua's gossip fire is burning majestically.

"It's to break the Ma family girl in your head, look at her, she's obviously only seven or eight years old, she is tall and tall, and she still has big feet, this is for Kefu."

"Mother, aren't you bigfoot?" Zhu Minghua regretted it after speaking, in the Ming Dynasty, it was basically the same meaning to say that a woman with big feet and later generations scolded a woman for breaking shoes.

"Now son, you also say me? If I don't have a big foot, can I raise you so big, after your father died last year, it wasn't for me to open a grocery store, you little bastard would have starved to death, and now you have grown up and said that your mother is a bigfoot mother-in-law. The old lady cried over and over again and scolded Zhu Minghua for having no conscience.

Zhu Minghua saw that the old lady was crying sadly, and immediately knelt down and hugged her mother's leg and said, "Mother, I am wrong, I shouldn't say that you have big feet." Don't worry, when I grow up, I will marry the girl of the Ma family back to make my mother angry. ”

The old lady listened to what I said and sneered: "Nonsense, how can my son marry that broom star, my son must marry everyone's beautiful lady." ”

Zhu Minghua hit the snake and said with the stick: "Yes, when the time comes, I will give birth to a bunch of granddaughters for the old lady, and I will be happy with the old lady every day." ”

"Little bastard, you're going to be flamboyant, just like your dead father. Let's go eat, it'll be cold for a while. After the old lady finished speaking, she went out.

Zhu Minghua saw the old lady go out and went to the front yard. Put on your own clothes, shoes and socks. Fortunately, the children's clothes are all straight coats, not as complicated as those worn by adults, but the socks are quite complicated, just a piece of cloth, and I haven't put them on for a long time, and I don't wear them anymore, and I wear shoes barefoot.

Out of his own door, his home is a set of courtyards, the main house is three rooms, on the left is his mother's room, in the middle is the living room (it looks like a living room, Zhu Minghua doesn't know what it is called), and on the right is Zhu Minghua's house.

Out of the main house, there are wings on both sides, on the left hand side is the firewood room and kitchen, and on the right hand side is the barnroom. Zhu Minghua ran to see if the warehouse was locked. Leaning on the crack in the door, I saw that there were some boxes inside.

There were several huts on the edge of the barn, and seven or eight chickens were raised, one big rooster and three flower hens, and the others were small chickens. There is also a big fat pig in the shack, which looks like it has 200 catties, and probably the mother is keeping it to kill the New Year's pig.

In the last shack there was a small yellow dog, the Chinese pastoral dog, which was only about three months old, and his body was shivering from the cold. Zhu Minghua looked at the puppy very pitifully, and saw that there was no food in the pottery bowl in front of him, maybe the old lady got up and only cared about her son, and forgot the puppy's food.

Zhu Minghua picked up the puppy and came to the kitchen, and saw a bowl of white porridge, three buns, two fried eggs, and a plate of cucumbers with sauce on the table. Was the breakfast good. I first fed the puppy an omelette and then fed it half a bun.

Seeing that it doesn't eat it, it's probably full. Put the puppy aside, and the wind and clouds will generally kill them all. After eating, I patted my stomach and found that the breakfast in the Ming Dynasty was not bad, pure natural green food.

After eating, I sat in the courtyard for a while, just after the Dragon Boat Festival, it was a good time, and I basked in the sun in the courtyard, which was not interesting. Zhu Minghua found a branch and scribbled on the ground, drawing some symbols that only he knew. If a later generation comes to see what Zhu Minghua painted, they will find that he painted a map of China.

Zhu Minghua recalled the only historical knowledge he had, and there were probably eighteen or nineteen years before the Ming Dynasty was about to end, and the time was uncertain. The location can be determined to be Wuchang Mansion, which is Wuhan in later generations. There are still about fifteen years before Zhang Xianzhong slaughtered the city, and now he is five years old, and he will be twenty years old in fifteen years, just in the prime of life, he can run away.

But where to go, Sichuan can't do it, Zhang Xianzhong will go to Sichuan after slaughtering Wuchang. Kill ten rooms and nine empty rooms in Sichuan. In later generations, some people bleached Zhang Xianzhong and said that he was killed by the Manchu braid, no matter how much the bastard killed, Sichuan couldn't go anyway.

Huguang can't stay, Zhejiang is now Nanzhili can't either, remember that Emperor Hongguang of the Southern Ming Dynasty seems to have committed suicide after only one year as an emperor (not suicide, but ran away, and was later caught by the Qing soldiers and sent to BJ to be killed).

You can't go to the north, Henan and Shandong will kill Li Zicheng Manchu in turn after a few years, and it's not a good place, Fujian is Zheng Chenggong's hometown, and it's not good to develop. Guangdong is not bad, there are people who want money, and there are people who want money. Okay, I'll go to Guangdong, and after fifteen years, I will take my wife to Guangdong together.
