After another ten years of drinking, Hua Shen borrowed the wine and asked, "Third Uncle Zhang, there is one thing I don't know if I should ask?" ”

"You ask, what the little old man knows, he should tell the truth. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"Third Uncle Zhang, I see that the courtyard in your house doesn't look like a poor family can live in, but why do you and Xiaoyu live so ......?"

Zhang Laosan's face immediately darkened when he heard this: "Little brother doesn't know, in fact, this courtyard is not owned by our father and daughter. Xiao Lao'er is useless, not only can he not live a good life, but he can't even prepare a rich dowry for Xiaoyu. After speaking, Zhang Laosan actually touched the table and cried bitterly, and Xiaoyu also hugged her father and cried.

"Third Uncle Zhang, Miss Xiaoyu, you, who are you? Isn't there any difficulty? "Hua Shen has seen people cry the most in her life, especially women crying.

Zhang Laosan continued to speak: "It's just that you laugh, little brother, it's not that there is any big difficulty for our father and daughter to cry bitterly, but the little brother's question happened to arouse our sadness." ”

At that moment, Zhang Laosan told Hua Shen in detail about their father and daughter, and only then did Hua Shen understand why their father and daughter lived in such a courtyard but lived so hard.

It turned out that their father and daughter were originally from the north, and there was an old wife and a son at home, and their lives were quite stable, although the Mongols often raided the border towns, but because they were still some distance away from the border towns, they had never been harassed, but at the beginning of this year, for some reason, the Mongolian soldiers attacked and plundered the border towns, and actually drove straight into their towns, and the local defenders were in turmoil after learning about the situation, so they began to recruit people everywhere.

It is said to be a conscription, but in fact it is a robbery. Zhang Laosan's son was drafted into the army under such circumstances, but these newly recruited Minzhuang were put on the front line by the generals in the defenders, and in the end, the town was broken, the defenders were scattered, and those Minzhuang were basically killed and wounded.

Zhang Laosan wiped away his tears and continued: "When the town was broken, I took my wife and Xiaoyu to run to the nearby mountains, but on the way to escape, my wife was shot in the back of the heart by a flying arrow... ”

Xiao Yu heard another sad cry here, and Hua Shen was also sympathetic, and sighed secretly, no matter when the soldiers are in a panic, it is always the people who are unlucky.

"I hid in the mountains with Xiaoyu for three days, and when those Liao soldiers retreated, I went down the mountain with Xiaoyu to collect the body of the old wife."

Zhang Laosan choked up when he said this, and continued: "Later, I went to the battlefield where his brother and Xiaoyu were, looking at the mutilated corpses all over the ground, Xiaoyu's eyes and I were red, and we searched for a whole day, and finally decided that a corpse that couldn't even see clearly was my son. ”

"All the valuable items in the family have been robbed, and even the house has been burned down, so Xiao Lao'er has no choice but to take Xiaoyu to Jinling to beg for a living, away from the danger of the town over there."

"But our father and daughter are helpless in Jinling, and it is very difficult to live, but fortunately, Xiaoyu met a generous family three months ago and lent us this idle yard to live temporarily."

"The master's family is really a good person, she not only treats Xiaoyu well, but also rewards Xiao Lao'er with a piece of land to plant, but the grain in this land will not be harvested until at least September, but now it is only June, and it will take three months to harvest the grain, so now the livelihood of the family has to rely on Xiaoyu to take some laundry and laundry work at the master's house to maintain."

"Seeing that Xiaoyu has reached the age of the Xu family, but she still has to work hard for the livelihood of the family, and I haven't saved a dowry for her, little brother, do you think I can feel good in my heart?" After that, the third child cried with tears in his eyes.

Hua Shen was silent, the whole family suffered a great change, his wife and children were separated, he was far away from home and sent people under the fence, and his daughter had to do laundry and make clothes for others, and the hardships of life were nothing more than that.

Thinking about himself alone, he sighed again, picked up the wine bowl, and said to Zhang Laosan: "Uncle Zhang, the deceased is gone, you don't have to be too sad, I think the kid is also alone, compared to you, who has a daughter to accompany me, wouldn't I be even more miserable?" ”

"And do this bowl with me, say goodbye to the sadness of the past, retain the memories of those past lives, and in the future, we have to live for the deceased relatives and the relatives who are still around!"

Zhang Laosan looked at Hua Shen for a long time without speaking, stood up slowly on the table, bowed respectfully to Hua Shen, and then picked up the wine bowl on the table, and said to Hua Shen: "Little brother is right, little old man has been taught." With that, he raised the bowl and drank it dry.

"Third Uncle Zhang, I don't think it's too early this day, and Miss Xiaoyu's mood is too fluctuating, so you might as well help her into the house to rest first."

"Okay, the little brother will rest early." After that, he helped Xiaoyu and walked towards the east wing.

Hua Shen looked at the messy dining table, and was not in the mood to clean up, so he also turned around and went back to his west wing.

Although he knew about Zhang Laosan's father and daughter, but it was also a lot of trouble, Hua Shen shook his head, threw out these useless thoughts, and began to conceive of his new life in this strange Daming.

First of all, there must be a house, the place should be bigger, and it is best to have a backyard, after all, you have to do something that is not available in this era in the future, and it is always safer in the backyard, as for the silver to buy a house, Hua Shen looked at those small handicrafts of various styles, and smiled very proudly, just these things, according to the price that should go out today, at least there is no problem with selling tens of thousands of taels, besides, in today's Ming Dynasty, the price is far less high than his modern society, Buying a house should still be fine.

Hua Shen smiled very proudly, I couldn't imagine that Lao Tzu had lived for almost 30 years in that era, and worked tirelessly for five or six years, but he didn't even have a house.

If you have a house, you have to make money, for Hua Shen from later generations, there are many ways to make money in ancient times, such as soap, which is extracted from the oil of animals and plants, its biggest feature is that it is low cost and easy to make, and soap is available, will soap be far away?

But he wasn't thinking about how to make it, he was thinking about how to protect it.

In those days, there were no intellectual property rights, and there were no patent protection laws, so he had to guard against the big families who were taking advantage of him after learning about the advantages of this thing.

Just find a big family or businessman to recommend this thing?

Don't say whether people believe it or not, even if someone sees the real thing and agrees to cooperate, but when he is a Ming Xinding with no identity, he doesn't believe that his bones are hard enough to keep this soap formula under torture, and then say the consequences of the formula...

Hua Shen fully believed that even if he was killed, no one would report to the police for him, Hua Shen kept thinking about the solution to this matter in bed under extreme depression, and finally didn't know how long it would take to fall asleep in a daze.
