Zong Jingcheng sent Zhang Yonghe and his son home and said goodbye, his own family also received Tokyo this time, and now he wants to go back by the way, seeing that Ming Jinrong also came out, he asked casually: "When will you go back to Yanzhou?" Are things going well over there? ”

"Why don't you go to the front of the palace and ask Li Duzhi? Let's see if there is a will, otherwise I would have gone back to Yanzhou a long time ago, there is a shortage of manpower over there, you settle down at home, just so let's go together! ”

"Okay! I'll leave in a few days,......" The two were talking, when they suddenly saw a group of forbidden soldiers coming from the opposite side, looking like a dozen or so people.

"Dare to ask, but Ming Commander? Li Du envoy please! The forbidden army led by him all clasped their heads and saluted, and the Li envoy he was talking about was Li Chongjin.

"This is ......" Zong Jingcheng was a little surprised.

"Huh! This is the head of Ma Du, who is on duty in front of the palace, his name is Ma Guangyong, and the ...... I knew before explained, and asked: "I don't know what Li Duzhi is looking for me?" ”

"The book has come down and been handed over to the hands of Li Du, the former secretary of the palace, and the Ming commander can return to Yanzhou to receive it, which is for the inspection of Zhang!" Ma Guangyong said as he turned around and led the way.

"My family has been promoted again?" Ming Jinrong asked with a smile.

"I don't know this, the Huangmen in the palace sent it, I was present at the time, I only heard that there are still a few Chinese book edicts, but it is another person, maybe I will go to Yanzhou with you."

Ming Jinrong and Zong Jingcheng glanced at each other, and they both saw joy in each other's eyes, their own generals were promoted quickly, and they had a promising future. At that moment, the two of them went to the front of the palace to see Li Chongjin and received the book ordered by the emperor himself, but it was not for them, so they didn't dare to open it first.

The two discussed it and decided to leave the day after tomorrow, and had to go back to Zhang Yue's house to report, Ming Jinrong asked the housekeeper for Yang Junping's reply to Zhang Yue, and met Zong Jingcheng who was waiting outside the door, and was about to go to the barracks to inform the soldiers, but he didn't want a teenager to rush out from behind, but it was Zhang Yue's second brother Zhang Cheng.

"Brother Zong! I'm going to join the army! Take me with you! Zhang Cheng said expectantly.

"How old are you, you're still a hairy child! Watch out for your dad to hear spanking you! Zong Jingcheng laughed, on the way from Hebei to Tokyo, Zhang Cheng was already familiar with him.

"My brother became a guerrilla general at the age of nineteen, and I'm seventeen too, so I'm not too young, right? Don't mention my old man, he came to Tokyo and refused to be idle, and asked me to give him a hand, you said that this butcher can have any interest, it's really infuriating! Zhang Cheng said angrily.

"Hey, hey! What the kid said was quite insightful! The day after tomorrow, you will wait for me on the royal street, and I will take you there when the time comes......" Ming Jinrong also said with a smile.

"You won't be able to leave the day after tomorrow, your father will stop you, so it's better to go to the barracks with me now." Zong Jingcheng instigated with a strange smile.

"But I didn't bring any clothes or luggage!" Zhang Cheng was greatly moved when he heard this, but he was a little entangled.

"I will put on your military uniform, put on armor, hang a horizontal sword, and ride on a tall horse!"

"Wow! All right! Then let's go, don't let the old man know! Zhang Cheng couldn't wait to run in front, for fear that his father would chase after him.

That night, Zhang Cheng lived in the barracks, and really put on a military uniform, put on armor, and became Ming Jinrong's personal soldier, and he was overjoyed. He was afraid that his father would be worried, so he asked Ming Jinrong to send someone home to report the news the next day.

Zhang Yonghe listened to what Steward Meng said, and was very angry when he learned that he wanted to go to the barracks to bring his youngest son back, but no one led the way, he couldn't find where the barracks was, and asked the housekeeper, and the housekeeper said he didn't know.

Zhang Yonghe was furious, walked in the front yard, and scolded: "You dog slaves, Brother Cheng didn't know that he ran away secretly, and he dared to coax me and ask you to help me make a butcher shop, but the promise was loud, and I haven't found it for almost two days, what do you want?" ”

The servants in the front yard were panicked, and Steward Meng wiped his head in a cold sweat, he was really afraid that Zhang Yonghe would get angry and drive them away, and the good days would come to an end, and it would be very rare to find such a good master again.

The matter of the meat shop, it's not that he can't do it well, it's that Yang Junping said that the people living around here are all eunuchs, and if a butcher suddenly appears, he will really be disliked and even make jokes, so let him slow down. Of course, Steward Meng understood, so he dragged it out, and he took advantage of Zhang Yonghe's lack of attention, and hurriedly sent someone to report to Yang Junping in the back house.

"You housekeeper is dumb, why don't you reply, did you say you found it?" Zhang Yonghe yelled.

"I've looked for it, but I haven't found a suitable one yet, and I'll do it in a few days!" The housekeeper Meng An dealt with it carefully.

"You go, you go! Handle it for me right away, and we will start work tomorrow! And Brother Cheng, you go and get it back for me! ”

"Steward Meng! Why don't you go out and look for it, persuade Brother Cheng to come back, and the store will also be found......" Yang Junping came out to greet him when she heard the news, said softly, and quietly gave a look.

Meng An understood, as if he had been amnestied, he ran quickly, and the slaves and maids who were standing around to watch the excitement also ran away, this time Zhang Yonghe was a little dumbfounded, facing his daughter-in-law alone, he didn't know what to say.

"Ah Weng is old, don't bother to take care of the family business, the affairs of the family are all taken care of, if you are really bored, or ...... Do you want to help with household chores, such as firewood...... Danshui ......" Yang Junping whispered tentatively, she was a little afraid that the old man would get angry when he heard it.

"Tell me to carry water and firewood? You are really my filial daughter-in-law, you can say it! Zhang Yonghe was even more angry when he heard it, carrying water and firewood is what people do, although he also does it in his hometown in Hebei, but now he is not an official eunuch. But the eunuch family still wants to be a butcher, he didn't think about it at all, he just felt that this ancestral craft could not be wasted.

"Ah...... This ...... "Yang Junping is also speechless, I want to be filial, but if you don't listen, how dare I control you!"

"Don't say anything, get Brother Cheng back, if you can't find me, it's not in your way, I go back to Hebei and kill pigs and sheep and no one cares, but I'm happier than Tokyo!" Zhang Yonghe put his hands behind his back, raised his head and looked at the sky, only to feel that he was not used to anything when he came to Tokyo, he was not free at all, and it was better to be from his hometown in Hebei.

"Huh? How can that work! Ah Weng has returned to Hebei, but the concubine is not at ease, so she still sends someone to the military camp to find it! Yang Junping comforted her with kind words and asked the housekeeper to go to Zong Jingcheng's house and ask him to persuade Zhang Cheng to come back.

Zong Jingcheng's house had already been bought, and it was also near the state bridge, Meng An came to the door to explain, Zong Jingcheng dealt with it with a smile, but did not agree to release him. In his opinion, a half-grown son is still under his father's knees, how can he go to the army to make a name for himself.

Steward Meng reluctantly went back, and when he stepped into the front yard and met Zhang Yonghe, he was stopped for questioning. When Zhang Yonghe heard this, he didn't say anything with a dark old face, and immediately packed a bag of clothes and rushed out of the courtyard gate with a small box of knives and axes used by butchers.

Steward Meng hurriedly ran to report Yang Junping, the master and servant ran out in a hurry, and caught up with him at the entrance of the street outside the door, Zhang Yonghe refused to go back, Yang Junping had to hire a big carriage for him and send him back to Hebei. He went home haggard and wrote a long letter for the housekeeper to send to Zong Jingcheng.
