Chapter 262: Idleness
"No matter?" Zhan Yu was stunned, will the mother ignore the little son's family affairs? How is this possible?
He still remembers that when Zhanhuai was born, he was already a teenager at that time, and when he heard that his mother had given birth to a little brother for them, he took his eldest brother and ran to his mother's yard to see the little brother.
But as soon as they entered the courtyard, they saw the maid and the maid all the faces of the earth, and they were wondering, when they heard a thud in the house, and then they heard the cry of the mother.
They ran in to take a look, and saw the mother, who had just given birth, throwing things, crying and falling, and the father standing by, helpless.
It was the first time they had seen their father, who had always been worshiped as a god, so cramped.
Later, they learned that their mother had been looking forward to giving birth to a daughter, so she also prepared a lot of clothes for little female dolls, and even the swaddling clothes were embroidered with rich peonies.
But I didn't expect that this long-awaited fifth child is not only a son, but also bigger than the previous four, just like my mother said: "This big man, if you want him to wear flower clothes and pretend to be a little girl." ”
At that time, he and his eldest brother were very worried, would his mother ignore the little brother, or throw the little brother out?
It didn't take long for them to know that their worries were unfounded, for when they saw their little brother again, their mother had just nursed their little brother, and she pointed her slender finger at her nose and said, "Stinky boy, you can listen well, you must bring a sister out of your mother." ”
After speaking, he kissed the left and right cheeks of the little brother, and said to the eldest brother who was already married at the time: "Let your daughter-in-law work hard and give birth to a little granddaughter for your mother." ”
But the mother is just talking, a year later, she hugged her grandson, and never mentioned her daughter again, to the fifth, since he was a child, he played with his nephew, it is said that he was a little older, took his nephew out to fight, outsiders thought that the uncle and nephew were brothers.
"You are the youngest, and my mother has favored you more since she was a child." Zhan Yu said with a smile, he was more than ten years older than Zhan Huai, and he didn't feel anything, but the fourth child was still young at that time, since he had Zhan Huai, the fourth child regarded himself as an adult, and he remembered his little brother everywhere, and he had to share half of the good things he got with his younger brother.
Thinking of the fourth child, Zhanyu's heart hurts like a knife.
Zhan Huai said: "You all say this, especially Dad, who said all day long that my mother spoiled me, and when I went back a few days late in May, my father rewarded me with a military stick." ”
Zhan Huai was beaten with a military stick, Zhan Yu was aware, among the brothers, only Zhan Huai had been beaten with a military stick, his father obviously hated iron and steel, but fortunately, this little five was also considered to be competitive, and the first time he led the troops to sink the warship of the general Japanese people, his father was very pleased.
He said: "The news of your repulsion of the warship reached the capital, the emperor is nothing, but the queen mother called me into the palace, asked your age, and asked if you have a marriage, I said that I am alone in the capital, I know very little about Fujian, as for whether you have a marriage, I have to write back to ask, the queen mother said that it is okay, she is just a gossip, there is no need to stir up the public, so as not to fall into the mouth, thinking that she, an old woman, wants to meddle in the affairs of Fujian." ”
Zhanhuai frowned and asked, "What does the Queen Mother mean, she said this to give us a wake-up call?" ”
Zhan Yu nodded and said, "Afterwards, I asked the eldest princess, and then I learned that the queen mother has been sending one or two ladies to the palace every ten days and a half every ten days and a half to talk, and these ladies are all women from families with a thin reputation and noble backgrounds in the capital. ”
Only then did Zhan Huai understand why the second brother kept asking about his family affairs today, and the second brother didn't want the Zhan family to have another person to marry.
"Second brother, even if the Queen Mother decrees marriage, I will not agree, not only will I not agree, but my father and mother will definitely not agree." Zhan Huai said categorically.
"But what if it's a good family?" Zhan Yu asked, he remembered a person, it is said that he was also summoned by the Queen Mother, and even the plum banquet in the first month of the first month of the eldest princess Fangyi is said to have invited her, and it is a separate invitation, which shows the importance of this woman.
Zhanhuai shook his head: "There is nothing good to kiss, as long as it is something I don't want, even if I point out a heavenly immortal, it is not a good kiss." ”
Zhan Yu was stunned again, he didn't expect Zhanhuai's reaction to be so big, before that, he had also thought that if the queen mother pointed out the family affairs, it was not a noble or powerful minister who had interests with the Zhan family, but it would not be harmful, after all, it was not a lord, Zhanhuai could not be trapped in the capital like him, no matter where the woman was sacred, if she married to Fujian, she would not be able to touch these things in the capital.
His heart moved, and he looked at Zhanhuai hesitantly, and after a long time, he asked, "Old Five, do you have a favorite woman?" ”
Zhan Yu only asked tentatively, but he didn't expect that Zhan Huai's face turned red: "It's not a favorite, it's just that I like her very much." ”
Zhanyu couldn't cry or laugh, you like people, isn't that what is your favorite? Does it make a difference?
"Which woman is it, you are in love?" He asked in a deep voice.
"No, she's still young, she doesn't understand at all, and she doesn't know ......" Zhanhuai's voice lowered when he said this.
Zhan Yu couldn't hold back any longer, laughed, he pointed at Zhan Huai and said with a smile: "That is to say, you like people, but people don't know at all, Lao Wu, we are from Jiangmen, there are no rules and regulations of the scholarly family, if you really have a woman who is happy with each other, the family will not look down on her because of this, you don't have to be embarrassed, which family is it, if your father and mother have no opinion, come to the door to propose marriage, like you, where is it like a soldier to fight, but like a scholar." ”
Zhanhuai's face was swollen and red like a big red cloth, and on a cold day, a thin layer of sweat on his forehead: "I told my mother, what my mother knows, it's not that I don't want to come to the door to propose, it's that she is still young, and she hasn't reached the end yet, and her family loves her very much, she is so small, she will definitely not let her propose marriage, and she is even more reluctant to let her marry far away, alas, don't I want to propose?" I wish I could bring her back to Fujian as soon as possible, but her sister must not agree, she is ignorant, she doesn't think she is a girl, what can I do. “
Zhan Yu was completely stunned, his little brother, had already stunned him three times by saying a few words to him today.
"What do you say? You said that the woman didn't think of herself as a girl, so what did she think of herself? Male? Mulan? Zhan Yu couldn't cry or laugh, what kind of person does the little brother like?
But Zhan Huai really nodded: "Well, she does regard herself as a man, and she calls me a brother, forget it, second brother, let's not talk about her, it's useless to say it, in a few years, let's talk about it when she is ready." ”
