The child who was called Zhaoliang by Zhang Mengcheng was a boy who looked to be about seven or eight years old. Zhang Zhaoliang's eyebrows are quite delicate, and he looks a bit like a girl, and he is also Zhang Mengcheng's nephew like Zhang Zhaoen.

Since Zhang Zhaoliang's family followed the clansmen to join the cottage, he was sent to the school to start reading and reading at the right age. It's just that Zhang Mengcheng, one of the leaders of the cottage, is very strict and treats all students equally in class, so he doesn't call Zhang Zhaoliang by his nickname.

At this time, Zhang Zhaoliang looked at Mr. very fearfully for a while, and then looked at the third old lady quite aggrievedly, he hoped that the third old lady, the most prestigious elder in the clan, would continue to plead. However, his fifteenth uncle Zhang Mengcheng did not give Zhang Zhaoliang this opportunity, and the gentleman directly raised the whip and whipped it towards Zhang Zhaoliang's body.

Zhang Zhaoliang, who was pumped by Zhang Mengcheng and kept running, quickly hid behind the third uncle, and cried pitifully: "Third, the third old lady save me, you and the fifteenth uncle say, just spare me this time, I, I don't dare anymore, woo wow." ”

Zhang Mengcheng was very angry when he saw his nephew crying, and he directly reprimanded him loudly: "Look at your little bit of talent, there are so many students in the cottage." Who cries so shamefully like you, and learned to find elders to hug your thighs. You came out for me, and you want to whip me again, don't you? Third uncle, don't protect him, look at his cowardice. Is this still like a doll born in northern Shaanxi, it will not be good for you to protect him like this in the future. ”

"Don't get angry, don't get angry, go up and stop him. Little fifteen, don't swing the whip, it's not good to hit others. Seeing that Zhang Mengcheng rushed up directly with a whip, the third uncle hurriedly sent the clansmen on the side to block it, and personally protected Zhang Zhaoliang, constantly opening his mouth to plead.

"Don't stop me, you all go away, I'll have the final say on the matter of the cottage." However, Zhang Mengcheng was very resolute, constantly struggling under the pull of the clansmen, and insisted on completing the punishment.

Just when Zhang Mengcheng and the clansmen were a little deadlocked, Yu Baocheng suddenly appeared on the wall in the distance and shouted at Zhang Mengcheng: "Xiucai has a big incident, you come with me quickly, don't worry about these little things." After saying that, he didn't care about Zhang Mengcheng's reaction, and ran towards the stable in the distance.

Zhang Mengcheng heard that something big had happened, so how could he care about any punishment. After saying a word to his students, he cleaned them up, and rushed straight to the stable without further delay.

The third uncle took advantage of this time to hurriedly say to the students in the cottage that school is over today, and everyone should hurry home to rest.

After seeing the teacher in the school run away, all the students reacted. They quickly dispersed, and each ran back to his house and hid.

Zhang Mengcheng waited for him to chase to the stable, only to see that his second brother Zhang Mengguang and the other masters were also there, and asked anxiously: "What's wrong, is it the eldest brother's side?" ”

Zhang Mengguang saw his younger brother coming, laughed and said: "Does it have to be a bad thing to call you, the third child came to take a look, my safflower is also pregnant, it seems that my luck is really good this time." ”

Yu Baocheng also smiled at this time and said: "Xiucai, don't blame me for bringing you here, you can spare them like this time, they will definitely not dare to come nonsense next time." If they dare to do it again, I'll go over and smoke them for you. ”

Zhang Mengcheng only understood at this time that Yu Baocheng had deliberately gone over to support Zhang Mengcheng just now, and Xiucai hurriedly looked back. found that his students took advantage of this time and ran away without a trace. So Zhang Mengcheng could only reluctantly accept the reality at this time, and at the same time planned to find another opportunity to repair his students tomorrow.

Li Yang, who was almost healed from his injury, didn't care about the matter of the cottage, but said to Zhang Mengguang happily: "The foal born by Honghua this time, Lao Zhang, you have to give it to me, I have long wanted to replace my broken horse." ”

"Why, Lao Zhang, don't listen to him, let it be to me. I'm willing to pay twenty taels of silver to buy from you, and you don't have to be too little, brother, I only have this little bit of money. Yu Baocheng didn't want to fall behind when he heard Li Yang's words, and directly planned to buy it with silver.

"You two are in a foot team, why do you want such a good horse. It's better not to fight, let the Meng Guang brothers call their own shots. "Ma Xiangbo's injuries at this time are almost healed, and he will be able to start practicing martial arts again in a few days, and he can walk around the village at will without support at this time.

Ma Xiangzhong stood quietly aside, although he still didn't like to talk, but the way he looked at the red flower could let everyone present know that he was also making up his mind to buy this foal that had not yet been born.

"Eh, eh, don't worry, this hasn't been born yet, why are you worried about it. I don't know where the seeds in the belly of the safflower come from. It's all to blame for my lack of optimism, eighty percent of it was during the security period in February, and I don't know which horse under the god Yikui was not gelding. ”

Zhang Mengguang looked at a few masters and thought about it directly, and hurriedly said that he didn't know what kind of horse the safflower was mated with. At the same time, he patted Safflower on the neck of his horse, comforting his mount, Safflower. And Honghua, who has always been lively, stood very quietly in the stable at this time, and at the same time rubbed its owner Zhang Mengguang affectionately with its horse head.

Zhang Mengcheng also had some thoughts when he looked at the red flower, and he said to the leaders of the surrounding Jinding Mountain: "There are a few good horses in our village, and the red flower is the tallest in physique. The foals that are born will definitely be quite tall, but we haven't had a good stallion all the time. If the red fruit grows a stallion, let's stop fighting, just leave it in the stockade as a stallion. ”

The quality of the war horses of Jinding Mountain and Jiangduhe Fort is generally very average. In addition to the red flower, there is only Ma Xiangzhong's mouth horse, and Zhang Zhaoen's newly acquired horse is a relatively good war horse. For example, the stallion left by Jinding Mountain as a breeding horse is not very fast, and the shoulder height is not particularly high, which is very average in all aspects.

Although everyone heard Zhang Mengcheng's suggestion, they thought it was not bad, but they all felt that it was a bit long. After all, it takes a few years for the foal to grow up, and then it takes a few years for it to produce a new foal, and then it takes several years for the new foal to grow up, which is a long time.

However, no one in the leaders present objected, after all, the red flowers that came out this time were not necessarily public.

After listening to his younger brother's opinion, Zhang Mengguang said that he completely agreed. The safflower was brought up by Zhang Mengguang, and the feelings were naturally needless to say, he was reluctant to castrate the stallion that came down from the safflower flower. At the same time, Zhang Mengguang couldn't help but say with some regret: "I can't ride the red flower for a while, so I can only think of finding a new mount." It's just that a good horse like Safflower is too hard to find, and it seems that we can only find a way from Tako in the north. ”

As if he understood what his master Zhang Mengguang was saying, Honghua suddenly neighed at this time, and kept plowing the ground with the horse's hooves, as if he was not happy with Zhang Mengguang's statement that he wanted to find other mounts. Seeing Honghua so humane, everyone present laughed.
