On the endless sea, Zhou Zhong stood at the bow of the ship and looked at the far north, but his heart was full of mixed feelings. Before Jinxuan wrote him a letter, telling him a great joy, that is, their first child was born, a girl, weighing seven pounds, white and chubby, extremely cute, and now waiting for him to go back and name the child.

After hearing the news, Zhou Chong was ecstatic on the one hand, and very guilty on the other, after all, he was Jinxuan's husband and the father of the child, but he couldn't be by their side at the moment the child was born, which made Zhou Chong naturally feel guilty.

Of course, it would be fine if it was just guilt, but when Zhou Chong received the news, it happened that he learned that he was Zhu Yunwen's descendant, and this news had put him and all his family members in danger, and even if he was not careful, the whole family would die because of this, but at this time, his first child was born, and it was his favorite daughter, which made Zhou Chong suddenly feel more of a father's responsibility.

The joy of becoming a father, as well as the sense of crisis faced by the family, were intertwined in the center of gravity, making his face also mixed with joy and sorrow, and finally saw Zhou Zhong sigh and force himself to stop thinking about these things.

Just when Zhou Zhong was standing at the bow of the boat thinking about his thoughts, he suddenly heard a sound of footsteps behind him, and then saw Wu Shan's voice sound: "My lord, you haven't eaten since last night, and your subordinates asked Wangcai to prepare a little food for you, so use it while it's hot!" ”

Zhou Chong has been worried about it since he got on the ship, and the weather is hot, so he hasn't eaten well for the past few days. Neither yesterday's dinner nor today's breakfast were eaten. Wu Shan was worried that Zhou Chong's body couldn't stand it. That's why they asked Wangcai to prepare some meals that fit their appetite and sent them over.

Zhou Chong turned around when he heard this, and saw that Wu Shan was holding a few meals in his hand, all of which were his favorite food, and the Jinyi guard behind him was carrying a set of tables and chairs. Although Zhou Zhong didn't have any appetite, seeing that they were preparing so carefully, it was not easy to refuse their kindness, so he immediately said, "Okay, you guys put it down." ”

I heard that Zhou Zhong was willing to eat. Wu Shan and they were all happy, and put the tables and chairs on the bow of the boat, and some people even opened a special umbrella to block the sunlight that was not too strong in the morning, and after Zhou Zhong sat down, Wu Shan and they retreated, after all, it was not the first day they followed Zhou Chong, and Lord Zhilu Dao did not like to have others present when eating.

"Wu Shan, you go and get the altar of wine, and drink two glasses with me!" Just when Wu Shan had just taken two steps back. Suddenly, I heard Zhou Zhong command. Zhou Zhong was already full of worries, and he couldn't eat at all. So just let Wu Shan drink some wine with him, maybe after getting drunk, he won't be troubled by these things anymore.

"Yes!" Wu Shan raised his head and glanced at Zhou Chong, and immediately answered. Zhou Zhong didn't have much of a fight, and he was also very generous to his subordinates, and he often let them drink with him when he had nothing to do, so Wu Shan was not surprised.

Soon Wu Shan took a jar of good wine, patted the mud seal on the jar and opened the oil paper immediately after a stream of wine fragrance wafted out, Wu Shan put the two small wine bowls in front of Zhou Chong and himself, and then lifted the jar and poured two bowls of wine, Zhou Zhong was not polite, picked up the wine bowl and drank it himself, although the spicy liquor made his head dizzy, but he felt much better than before.

"My lord, my subordinates have seen that you have something on your mind these days, and you don't even think about tea and dinner, although your subordinates understand that there are some things that should not be asked, but adults are now responsible for your responsibilities, and you must take care of your body!" Wu Shan cautiously opened his mouth to persuade at this time.

"Don't worry, I know the severity!" Zhou Zhong put down the wine bowl and sighed, and then asked casually, "Wu Shan, how did you get into Jinyiwei, except for a younger brother Wu Shi in the family, do you have any relatives in the family?" ”

"Lord Qiyu, my ancestors have always been doing things in Jinyi, my father was sent to Liaodong in the early years, but he died there, I was only a teenager at the time, I made up for my father's errand and entered Jinyiwei, and now there is a sixty-year-old mother at home, as well as a wife and a concubine and five children, three boys and two girls, the eldest boy was sent to the academy to study, I hope that there will be a scholar in the family in the future." Wu Shan replied very respectfully.

"Five children, you can really give birth!" Zhou Zhong glanced at Wu Shan with some surprise and said, Wu Shan is only in his twenties this year, and he already has five children, in comparison, he only has one daughter, which is really a bit of a gap.

"Hehe, the Admiral has just become a family and has not had many relatives, and he is a few years younger than his subordinates, I believe that in a few years, you must also have a group of children, as for Mrs. giving birth to a girl this time, it is not a big deal, maybe the next child will be a boy." Wu Shan said cautiously again, with a hint of relief in his tone.

Zhou Zhong smiled bitterly in his heart when he heard this, it turned out that Wu Shan thought that he hadn't thought about tea and dinner in the past few days because Jinxuan gave birth to a girl, no wonder no one dared to ask. In fact, it is not surprising that Wu Shan and they have this kind of thought, after all, this is a patriarchal era, since a woman is pregnant, everyone hopes that this child is a boy who can inherit the family business, but after waiting for ten months, they finally found out that it was a girl, which naturally made many people feel bad and even lose their temper for it.

Thinking of this, Zhou Zhong shook his head with a wry smile, but he didn't explain to Wu Shan, he immediately raised the wine bowl and took another sip, and then said again: "Wu Shan, your younger brother Wu Shi is not young, but I heard that he has never been married, what is the reason?" ”

Compared with Wu Shan's shrewdness and ability, Wu Shi is a straightforward character, and even sometimes a little stupid, his brain will not turn, and he only thinks about solving things by force, but his martial arts are really good, one person can fight each other seven or eight, if he uses weapons, more than a dozen people are not his opponents, it can be said that he is a fierce general, but this time he did not follow Zhou Chong, but stayed in Shuangyu Port to protect Zhou Chong's family.

Hearing Zhou Zhong talk about his younger brother Wu Shi, Wu Shan shook his head with a wry smile and said: "Adults don't know, don't look at the second brother who is now a hundred households in Jinyi, but his temperament is too reckless, and he doesn't care about his temper, he fights all day long in the capital and causes trouble, if it weren't for our Jinyi guards to protect him, I'm afraid he would have been cleaned up, and it is precisely because of this that even the matchmaker didn't dare to propose marriage to him, for fear that he would cause a big disaster one day and affect other girls, so he is still a single." ”

Speaking of this, Wu Shan paused for a moment, and then said with a smile: "But thanks to my lord, last year you shipped a lot of women from North Korea and the Japanese country, and it just so happened that my reckless second brother was going back to one, and when we came, the woman was already pregnant, although it was a North Korean woman, but as long as she could give birth to the seedlings of our Wu family, I would let the second brother give her a name, although she couldn't be a wife, but it was still good to be a concubine." ”

"Ha Luha, I said why didn't Wu Shi come this time, it turned out that he was taking care of his soon-to-be-born child at home." Zhou Chong said with a smile at this time, but soon he sighed again, "Speaking of which, Wu Shi is much stronger than me, at least when the child is born, he, as a father, can see the child at first sight, but my child is full moon, but he has not seen my father yet." ”

Hearing Zhou Chong's sigh, Wu Shan put down the wine bowl and persuaded: "Your Excellency doesn't have to blame yourself, as the so-called king's life is greater than the sky, Lord Admiral this time for the safety of my Tang Dynasty, let go of his wife at home to supervise the war, and it is also a beautiful thing to spread out, Mrs. was born in a scholarly family, and she understands the truth naturally much more than us like us, so presumably Mrs. not only will not blame the adult, but will also be proud of the adult." ”

"Hehe, I didn't expect you to be very good at talking, Wu Shan, I really feel better when I hear you say this." Zhou Zhong said and raised the wine bowl, "Come, let's do a bowl!" ”

Seeing Zhou Chong raise his glass, Wu Shan was not polite, and immediately raised the wine bowl and touched Zhou Chong, and then the two drank it all, turning over the bottom of the bowl without dripping, which made the two look at each other and smile.

Drinking spirits and chatting, this made Zhou Chong's mood much better, and he drank a few more bowls unconsciously, but after the worst he only felt that his brain was getting heavier and heavier, and he fell asleep on the chair after a while.

Seeing that Zhou Chong was asleep, Wu Shan personally sent him back to the cabin, and after saying Zhou Chong well on the bed, he turned around and left. However, he did not go to the cabin where he lived, but came to the stern kitchen to get some food, came to a hatch door in the bottom cabin, and gently knocked on the three long and two short codes, only then did he hear footsteps inside, and then the cabin door opened, revealing a tall and burly figure inside, it was the Wu Shi mentioned by Zhou Zhong and Wu Shan just now, but Wu Shi was supposed to stay in Shuangyu Port, why did he appear on Zhou Chong's ship?

Wu Shi opened the cabin a crack, Wu Shan immediately flashed in, and then put the food in his hand on the table and said, "Second brother, I'm hungry, I'll get some cooked beef and water from the kitchen, you can eat quickly!" ”

"Hmm!" Wu Shi was indeed hungry, and he was not polite at the moment, so he sat down and grabbed the beef and ate it, and finally waited until he had eaten almost, Wu Shan said: "Second brother, I have worked hard for you this time, but when I return to Shuangyu Port, I will personally ask Your Majesty for your credit." ”

"Hehe, big brother, what are you polite to me, when our brothers send this person on the boat back, Your Majesty will definitely be very happy, and then maybe my brother will be promoted to the commander and the same advisor all of a sudden, and even I may be able to mix a thousand households." Wu Shi wiped the water on his mouth, and pointed behind him with a proud face.

There was not enough light in the bilge, only a candle was illuminated, and in the direction pointed by Wu Shi, there was a faint figure lying there, motionless and not knowing whether it was dead or alive? (To be continued......)
