Chapter 85: Identity
, the fastest update of the latest chapter of the pet farmer little girl! "How did you ever treat me as a brother?" Yan Jingxiu suddenly laughed and said, "You are gone, besides me, who do you think will come to look for you, I have known that you are here, but I have never come to disturb you, but what about you?" Is it so hard to give me a letter? I've never felt sorry for you in the slightest. ”
"If it weren't for the Zhang family's real disaster this time, you think I would come to you?" Yan Jingxiu looked at Zhang Zhenan coldly and said, "I know that you are at ease now, but have you ever thought about the situation in your family, and have you ever thought about them for anything?" ”
"What happens to them has nothing to do with me." Zhang Zhenan threw the wooden stick on the ground, turned his back and said, "I have a family and a room now, and Qingshui Village is my home." ”
"I knew you'd say that, but what about your mother? Even if others are sorry for you, don't you care about your seriously ill mother? Yan Jingxiu looked at his indifferent back coldly and said, "Even if she once had something to be sorry for you, but after all, she is your mother, she is sick, find me, and only beg me to take you back, so that she can see you for the last time." ”
Zhang Zhen'an's expression was complicated, he still stood in place, and after half a ring, he heard no sound behind him, and turned his head, but it happened to meet Yan Jingxiu's eyes.
"Is she really sick?" The two stared at each other for a long time, and Zhang Zhenan finally asked.
"Yes, very sick." Yan Jingxiu lowered his head.
Zhang Zhenan didn't speak, as a son of man, no matter how much he hated his father, but they were fathers and mothers after all.
Besides, he was young and sluggish, and all along, he and his mother supported this big family together, and when he left in the past two years, everything had to be up to her, and she had to clean up the mess for his unreliable brother, presumably she was also tired.
It's probably normal to be sick.
Zhang Zhen'an's face was a little loose, during this time, he saw An Xiu'er and his father get along harmoniously, under her drive, his temper is not as stubborn as usual, sometimes looking at it, he even has a faint expectation, hoping that he can also enjoy the joy of family with his parents.
However, how is that possible, his father has passed away, and his mother's heart has probably never been without him.
"Now that your mother is sick, you know your brother, he only knows how to look for flowers and willows all day long, and he is also relying on his identity as the head of the Zhang family to cause trouble everywhere, if you don't go back, the foundation of the Zhang family will be ruined!"
Before Zhang Zhen'an could speak, Yan Jingxiu said again: "I know that you have never taken these family businesses of the Zhang family in your eyes, but you have to think about your father, think about what he said when he was dying, I believe he must have expectations for you." ”
Zhang Zhen'an was silent, that's right, his father once held his hand tightly before he died, and entrusted this family business to him, over the years, he has been conscientious and running around for the family, but in the end, he was not defeated in the hands of his enemies, but after all, he was no match for his relatives to stab him in the back.
"Now that the situation is in turmoil, your stupid brother, he actually plans to cooperate with the imperial court, saying that he wants to seek greater wealth and wealth, and saying that he wants to ask for some princes and generals, it is really stupid!"
Without waiting for Zhang Zhen'an to speak, Yan Jingxiu said again: "Your Zhang family is a great family for hundreds of years, from the past to the present, it has survived crisis after crisis, do you want to watch your Zhang family's hundreds of years of foundation ruined?" ”
The Zhang family of Minyue County is famous in the entire Qi country, and their children and family businesses are all over the whole of Daqi, especially Minyue County, which is the foundation of the Zhang family, and they are like the soil emperors here.
Hundreds of years ago, when the situation was turbulent and the dynasty was changing, under the leadership of the ancestors of the Zhang family, the Zhang family was still standing, wind and rain.
Now that the situation is starting to be chaotic again, I don't know how many storms there will be, their family has the dignity of a family, and they have never participated in these battles for the throne, and what they seek is money, so the emperor takes turns, but the status of these families has never been affected.
Over the years, the royal family has long been afraid of these families, after the weakening of generations of emperors, now the power of the family is not as good as before, in the past, they were able to raise private soldiers, but now, they can only train a small part of the guards.
Now, in troubled times, Zhang Zhenan doesn't know if the Zhang family can survive the past, and whether they can maintain the face of their first-class family.
In fact, he doesn't want power, but the glory of the family has already been deeply engraved in his bones, even if he is calm in his heart, but at this moment, he can't help but have a monstrous wave in his heart.
The family never gets involved in the battle for the throne, this is the unwritten treaty of the major families, precisely because they have never participated in political affairs and have no ambition to be emperors, so no matter who is the emperor, they will give these families some face, no matter how chaotic the world is, how much dispute the war, but no one will think about embarrassing a family.
In fact, troubled times are the most suitable for the development of the family, most of them take advantage of the war to make a fortune, but if they participate in the disputes, then there is only a dead end.
After all, their Zhang family children are all over the country, no matter how hard the business is hit, they can be preserved, but once they participate in these disputes, it will not be a business matter at that time, and when the situation calms down, it will be the time when the authorities begin to liquidate their families.
It is good to support the victorious side, but it is also temporary, although it has temporarily won the favor of the authorities, but when they have completely pacified the world, it is time to unload the mill and kill the donkey. Needless to say, the side that supported the defeat will definitely uproot their entire family under the anger of the authorities.
Therefore, in any case, if these century-old families want to be preserved, they can't have anything to do with these people who want to compete for the throne.
Yan Jingxiu saw that Zhang Zhenan didn't speak for a long time, and threw down a sentence, "Think about it carefully." ”
After saying that, he walked a few words, and when he saw that Zhang Zhenan still didn't react, he turned his head and said: "I will always live in Luohe Town during this time, this small broken town is just an inn, you can easily find me, I will do all I say." ”
When Yan Jingxiu's figure disappeared in front of his eyes, Zhang Zhen'an stretched out his hand, but it was a fist with both hands and a heavy hammer on the side of the tree, this small tree could not withstand his beating, the branches swayed, and a lot of fallen leaves fell, these leaves were all last year's dead branches and leaves, but for some reason, it was clear that this little tree had sprouted new shoots and grown new leaves, but the dead leaves left over from last year had not fallen yet.
Zhang Zhenan looked at the direction Yan Jingxiu left, and didn't chase it, he came to chase An Xiu'er today, but now he was in no mood, he just turned around and went home.
An Xiu'er's luck is good today, she really caught a top-class cricket, of course, it took a lot of effort, the cricket is also very flexible, legs and feet are strong, the two brothers and sisters, almost didn't let it run. Of course, in the end, it still fell into their net, which made An Xiu'er how unhappy.
After saying goodbye to An Tiemu at the door, An Xiu'er tiptoed open the courtyard door, the courtyard was quiet, An Xiu'er was just glad that he didn't notice, but before she took a few steps, she was stunned.
I saw that under the dim moonlight, Zhang Zhenan sat at the door with a pot of wine in his hand.
An Xiu'er was in place, and it happened that he also looked up, the two looked at each other, her eyes were rolling, but she couldn't think of a reason.
Zhang Zhen'an's eyes were misty, the woman was standing in the cold moonlight, her eyes were watery, like a pear blossom, but she was at a loss at the moment, and she looked in a daze, really like an elf who had fallen into the world by mistake.
"Come here." Zhang Zhenan beckoned to her.
An Xiu'er walked over obediently, only to feel that he seemed to be different from usual today, not like angry, but as if he was two more sad, because he went out in the middle of the night, he had a misunderstanding, so he was disappointed?
"Tonight, my second brother had something to do with me, so I went back to my parents' house, and I didn't tell you when I saw that you were sleeping soundly, not on purpose." An Xiu'er sat down on the bench where he was sitting, like a kitten snuggled up to him.
Zhang Zhenan shook his head with a smile, reached out to rub her hair, and took another sip of wine with a wine jug.
"Why do you drink at night?" An Xiu'er asked, she really wanted to confess to him when she saw him like this.
"It's okay, I'm not in a good mood." Zhang Zhenan turned his head to look at her and said, "It's a cold night, you go back to the house to rest." ”
"You said you were in a bad mood, how could I watch you drinking here alone." An Xiu'er smiled slightly and said, "Do you have anything to worry about me?" Maybe I can help you. ”
"It's nothing to worry about, it's just that I'm not in a good mood for some reason." Zhang Zhenan shook his head slightly, he couldn't tell An Xiu'er about many things.
"Do you like fighting crickets?" An Xiu'er said suddenly.
"Fighting crickets?" Zhang Zhenan was stunned, and he didn't know why An Xiu'er suddenly changed the topic.
"It's not good for you to drink here alone at night, why don't I go with you to catch crickets in the wild." An Xiu'er held his hand, but her face was in front of him, and her eyes were bright and pure like an innocent child.
He has always adhered to the upbringing of a big family since he was a child, and he has never done such a thing as fighting crickets, let alone catching crickets, but when he saw her eyes, he actually agreed to do so: "Okay." ”
"Then I'll go add some lamp oil, you get ready, and we'll go." Seeing that he agreed, An Xiuer was very happy and went to the house to refill the lamp oil.
Without saying much, she walked out with a much brighter oil lamp and said to Zhang Zhenan: "Okay, let's go." ”
"Hmm." Zhang Zhen'an nodded, the two walked out of the yard, An Xiu'er led him to the hill outside the village, along the way, perhaps because of the cool breeze, Zhang Zhen'an really felt a lot better in his heart, and those troubles and gloom seemed to have temporarily subsided without a trace.
Seeing her jumping beside him, he guessed: "You went with your second brother to catch crickets tonight, right?" ”
"yes." An Xiu'er nodded, didn't hide it anymore, she said: "My second brother is a good trainer of crickets, I wanted to catch a few to play, but I was afraid that you wouldn't like it, so I put it at my mother's house." ”
"It's just a trivial matter, and you have to sneak out like a thief in the middle of the night." Zhang Zhen'an stretched out her hand and touched her forehead, An Xiu'er didn't care, only explained: "But this cricket is noisy, I'm still a little afraid of disturbing your sleep, I see that you seem to be a little sleepy tonight, I simply took you out for a walk, anyway, we can catch it, it doesn't matter if we can't catch it, we still have to go back to sleep." ”
"Hmm." Zhang Zhen'an nodded again, An Xiu'er shared with him some points and types of crickets along the way, there is too much knowledge about crickets, and she can't explain it clearly, An Xiu'er has learned from An Tiemu for several days, but she still only learned a skin, so she just said some basics.
Seeing Zhang Zhenan's thoughtful face, she smiled again: "By the way, what do you gain from reading that Four Peoples Moon Order?" Is there something about how to raise crickets? ”
"This one really is." Zhang Zhen'an laughed and said, "It is written in the book, the head is big, the waist is strong, and the voice is loud, this is superior." ”
"Ah, you really do." An Xiu'er lowered her head, but she didn't expect that she had just chattered all the way, who knew that Zhang Zhenan had always known about it.
If it was really written in that book, then she was really a classmate, so she simply said: "When I go back in the evening, I will also look at that book." ”
"Well, you're idle, so it's okay to take a look."
"Well, but I don't know any words."
"It's okay, I'll teach you the words you don't know." Zhang Zhenan replied casually, and An Xiu'er laughed and said, "Then how hard you are, it seems that I will have to go to your academy to steal teachers in the future." ”
When Zhang Zhenan heard this, he said: "There is no need to be like this, there will be summer and summer vacation in a few days, and you won't be able to steal the teacher if you want to." ”
"Alas, time flies." An Xiu'er sighed, she thought it was still early, but she didn't expect that half a year had passed in a blink of an eye.
"yes, there's no time to wait." Zhang Zhenan also sighed and said, "I'm afraid that in the second half of the year, this master will not be me, and I am really reluctant to think about them." ”
"Xianggong, don't be sad, I believe that even if you don't teach, everyone will remember you, and it's okay if you don't teach, so that you can study hard at home this year, and strive to take the exam before coming back." An Xiu'er smiled smartly, Zhang Zhenan told her about this last time, so she could see it.
