Chapter 8 How Good Is It to Be Your Stepfather?

In the small courtyard of the Zhao family, a woman looked up at the starry sky, and a strong man on the side rolled up his sleeves and chopped firewood with a big axe. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"I haven't seen you for so many days, you say, will Pu'er have fled?" The woman's eyes lit up slightly, "I wish my son could escape from this place, as far away as possible." ”

The strong man sighed lightly, "I also wish I could do it for him, but it's a pity...... Pur is not that kind of child. ”

When the woman heard this, tears immediately burst into her swollen walnut-like eyes, and she wiped them gently with her sleeve, and her whole face was extremely haggard.

At this moment, the door squeaked and opened.

"Dad, mother." As soon as Zhao Pu entered the door, the woman knelt on the ground with a 'poof' and cried, "Originally, I still had a little fantasy that my son could fly away, but now that I see that my son is well, I feel that it is not so good to be born!" ”

Lin looked extremely excited, and he had the meaning of howling.

Father Zhao could only pick up Lin, who was crying and coughing, and looked at Zhao Pu with a deep frown, "Pu'er, you ...... Alas, the execution will be carried out the day after tomorrow, so you should accompany your mother more at home tomorrow. ”

Seeing his father and mother like this, Zhao Pu no longer had the jerky mustard he had before, but felt a warmth in his heart, "Dad, mother, I will accompany you in the future." ”

"Later?" Father Zhao was stunned for a moment, "You ......"

Zhao Pu smiled slightly, and briefly told his family what had happened these days, of course, the things about the Khitan people still had to be removed. The sadness on Daddy Zhao's face suddenly disappeared, but Lin cried even more fiercely at this time, and hurriedly bowed to heaven and earth, almost breaking his forehead.

"A pawn? This conscription order has come down, but I have blocked it for you once. Father Zhao frowned at first, and then sighed slowly, "Well, it's better than going to the guillotine." ”

"Fu Sima asked me to rest for two days first, and then report to him in two days." At the thought of being a soldier in this place, Zhao Pu was still a little displeased, but after all, there was a Fu Sima cover, so naturally it would not be too miserable.

The third brother Zhao Anyi and his two younger sisters all came to say hello when they heard this, while Zhao Gu, who was the second brother, said with some joy, "Brother, can we still eat that severed head meal?" ”

Father Zhao kicked Zhao Gu lightly, and scolded him with joy, "Silly boy, that's called Ping'an Rice." ”

"Yes, Ping'an Rice, my son will definitely live a long life." As he spoke, Zhao Lin held Zhao Pu's hand tightly, and seemed to be trembling with some fear.

A family of seven, with five subordinates on the table together, can give such an order that does not distinguish between dignity and inferiority, which shows that Father Zhao is really happy in his heart.

"Pu'er, eat more, this is the mushroom chicken soup that my mother specially stewed for you." Lin Shi seemed to think of something, looked at Zhao Pudao, "My son will not die, wait for Ming'er, you go to the market with your mother, and your mother will pull a piece of cloth for you and make clothes well!" ”

In Lin's soft voice, Zhao Pu nodded hurriedly and smirked.

……

It is a woman's nature to go shopping, and this is common in both modern and ancient times.

As soon as Lin arrived at the market, he couldn't put down all kinds of gouache hairpins on the street, and when he entered the tailor's shop, he didn't come out for a long time.

Finally, he pulled two pieces of cloth after a thousand choices, and when he turned around, another woman stepped forward to greet Lin.

"Mrs. Zhao, what good things did you buy?"

Lin waved his hand, "Two new cotton cloths are not a big deal." ”

gasped, the woman frowned slightly, "Yo, why does Mrs. Zhao want to tear cloth to make clothes?" Isn't it your eldest son who has a crush on whose girl? ”

As soon as he heard this, Lin puffed out his mouth, seemed to hold back his anger, and said, "How did Mrs. Wang speak?" My son is both wise and brave, and he is afraid that he will not be able to marry a good daughter-in-law? ”

"Hmph, both wise and brave?" Mrs. Wang hid her face and laughed tremblingly, "I don't know who went to the guillotine two days ago to cut people and was so scared that they almost peed their pants, so they saved their lives, what?" Started to be arrogant? ”

"You ......"

Before Lin had a seizure, Mrs. Wang raised her eyebrows, "Don't look at how many catties and taels you have, my son is a personal soldier under Fu Sima, and your Zhao Pu is a big soldier!" When I went to apply in two days, I was a head shorter than my son. My son is brave and burly, he has killed countless enemies in battle, and your Zhao Pu has to tremble when he kills a chicken, with this ability, who can he compare with? ”

The sound of laughter and scolding suddenly attracted countless onlookers around, Lin's face became more and more ugly, Zhao Pu was nothing, but Zhao Gu blushed angrily on the side, and wanted to open his mouth to argue but it was difficult to say anything.

Seeing that the onlookers were pointing more and more, Lin's face suddenly turned pale, and Mrs. Wang saw that Lin's words were poor, and immediately pinched her waist and scolded with a smile, "With your son's courage, you still expect to marry?" I see, a timid man like him can marry someone else's widow as a daughter-in-law at the top of the sky!! ”

"Pu'er, Gu'er, let's go." Lin just wanted to pull Zhao Pu, but he was empty.

I saw a straight young man in the middle of the crowd smiling slightly, with an unpredictable look in his eyes, and Lin looked back and saw that this person was Zhao Pu.

"This Mrs. Wang looks both talented and beautiful, and she must have a unique temperament brought from her mother's womb, so she will be so extraordinary."

As soon as Zhao Pu opened his mouth to praise, although Mrs. Wang didn't treat her very well, she was still a little proud after all. "Hmph, that's nature."

"I don't know where Mrs. Wang got such beauty." Looking up at Mrs. Wang, Zhao Pu's expression was a little more cunning.

Mrs. Wang clasped her arms with her hands, her short round chin was also raised high, and she said loudly, "My mother is a flower in the city, so naturally she follows my mother." ”

"Oh," Zhao Pu nodded, "Then I don't know if Mrs. Wang's old father is still alive?" ”

"My father died early, isn't it...... Why do you ask this? ”

Mrs. Wang frowned a little puzzled.

Zhao Pu shook his head and chuckled, "Mrs. Wang is right, in fact, I, Zhao Pu, am immoral and incompetent, and I can't marry a young and beautiful woman, since Mrs. Wang said that I deserve to marry a widow, I don't know Mrs. Wang...... Not satisfied with my stepfather? ”

The people who were originally watching Zhao Pu on the side suddenly burst into laughter. "This Zhao Dagongzi is really lacking in virtue and smoking."

"That is, if this is changed to our colloquialism, then it will be...... c Your mother? ”

"This Zhao Dagongzi rectified Feng Tuiguan's dog official yesterday, and today he scolded people without dirty words, I think this guy will not have a problem giving advice to Fu Sima."

Zhao Gu is naturally heartless and heartless, so the Lin family is hindered by the face of Mrs. Wang's neighbors, and it is extremely hard to endure the smile, a pair of round eyes are finished laughing, but the mouth is always suffocated.

"I'm going to be a little cub of yours, how dare you entertain the old lady?"

Mrs. Wang looked at the appearance of everyone, and she also thought about it, her face was so angry that her face turned red, her hands were crossed on her waist, and she raised her hand at Zhao Pu to fight down.

Fortunately, the Lin family is also a spicy person, and when he saw this situation, he hurriedly blocked in front of Zhao Pu, and said angrily, "Alas, you were rude to my son first, and you dared to do something to my son, did you do it when his wife was not there?" ”

As he spoke, Lin grabbed Mrs. Wang's raised hand with one hand, and shook it casually, almost bringing Mrs. Wang to a stagger.

Seeing Mrs. Wang's messy hair and gray face, Lin shrugged her shoulders very proudly, no longer wanting to be as gray as before. Instead, he turned back to Zhao Pu and Zhao Gu with his head held high and said, "Pu'er, let's go!" ”

Zhao Pu hurriedly agreed, Zhao Gu, a stupid boy, was still a little unrelatable, and said angrily, "Tell you, don't mess with my eldest brother next time, otherwise my eldest brother won't beat you or scold you, and will casually open his mouth to kill you!" ”

A group of three people walked through the street, and when they reached the end of the alley, Lin suddenly stopped.

"Mother, what's wrong with you?"

Zhao Pu stepped forward to check in a little anxious, but found that Lin was only holding his stomach, and his tears were about to burst out of laughter, patting Zhao Pu's head and saying, "My son is amazing, my son is capable." ”

Zhao Pu touched his nose a little embarrassed, but he just scolded someone, as for it? If it weren't for the fact that the other party was a woman, he would be embarrassed to say anything worse.

"Brother, where did you learn this, and teach me two sentences." Zhao Gu seemed to have tasted the sweetness and pulled Zhao Pu. "I heard them all say that my brother can give Fu Sima advice!"

Zhao Pu seemed to be thinking about it, pinching his chin with his backhand, "Brother, what is the official system like today?" ”

Zhao Gu scratched his head, "I don't understand this, you ask your mother." ”

The Lin clan seemed to slow down for a while, and then he raised his head and said, "Now it is the Later Jin Dynasty, and it is still the former Tang Dynasty system, with the establishment of Jiedu envoys in the feudal towns, and the establishment of the Assassin History and Sima in charge of the civil and military aspects in each state. Pu'er, although my mother is optimistic about you, I still have to advise you, don't get involved in official affairs easily, otherwise in troubled times, it is common for people to lose their heads. ”

Zhao Pu nodded and said, "Mother, don't worry, I'm just asking." ”

Although he said this, Zhao Pu's heart secretly beat Xiao Jiujiu, hum, if you want me to be a soldier, you can do it, and we have to make a name for ourselves as a big soldier!
