Zhang Tianlong has three sons, the eldest son Zhang Dingde followed Zhang Tianlong to break more than ten strongholds of the enemy, and his military merits were awarded the post of right general.

The second son, Zhang Dingzhi, was resourceful and gave advice and strategic layout to Zhang Tianlong, and he had a lot of merits, and was taken by Zhang Tianlong for many years, and he can be called a military advisor.

The third son, Zhang Dingxiang, inherited the position of patriarch of Zhang Tianlong, and did his best for the family, and the prosperity of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was all due to Zhang Dingxiang's contributions.

Zhangjiayuan's geographical area occupies half of the city of Junzi, so big that it is impossible to phenomenon, Zhang Dingxiang has three wives, the eldest wife has a difficult birth, and she died on the spot after giving birth to a child.

The second concubine was originally a maid in the house, and Zhang Tianlong took a fancy to her as a concubine. The third wife, Guose Tianxiang, has a mysterious identity, and was seriously injured and almost killed during a mission in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. Rescued by Zhang Dingxiang inadvertently, he had a relationship between men and women during his serious injury, gave birth to a son, and left the Zhang family five years later, and his son Zhang Xingjian only had the memory of his mother when he was five years old.

The stars and the moon are the swords.

Zhang Xingjian's name was given by his mother Gu Xuan.

In front of the courtyard of the four young people in Zhangjiayuan, a seventeen-year-old man dressed in white was feeding the fish while reading a book in the pavilion.

Suddenly, a ring came forward from the door: "Young master, it's not good, it's not good." ”

Zhang Xingjian was not in a hurry and slowly put down the book in his hand, and continued to feed the fish: "Xiang'er, why are you so flustered," the small fish in the pond swam around frantically foraging.

Xiang'er walked to the table and picked up the kettle and poured it into the cup, took a sip by the way, and slowly gasped and said: "There is a white dog injured outside, it seems that it was deliberately injured by someone, young master, go over and take a look," a pleading look looked.

All the feed in his hand was thrown into the pond, the fish were even more crazy, some jumped up to grab food, and a fresh breeze came Zhang Xingjian turned out to be a personable and beautiful young man and said: "Xiang'er, lead the way." ”

"Yes, young master," he said happily, jumping towards the door.

There is a forest in Zhangjiayuan, and there is a white dog covered in blood lying under the big tree, and the white dog sees Zhang Xingjian: "Woo." ”

stroked the white dog's forehead to check the wound, took out a bottle from his chest pocket, opened the bottle and sprinkled it on the wound, and the white dog's wound slowly began to heal.

Xiang'er stood aside and watched the white dog get better, and smiled excitedly: "Young master, this potion is amazing." ”

After a long time, the white dog: "Uh-huh" a few words, licking Zhang Xing's sword feet to represent gratitude.

Stroking the white dog: "In the future, stay at my place and don't run around, it's dangerous outside, I'm safe." ”

"Hahaha, it's great that you want to adopt this white dog, white dog go, I'll take you home," the white dog wagged his tail and followed Xiang'er towards the Fourth Young Courtyard.

In the yard, Xiang'er was playing with the white dog, Zhang Xingjian looked at the white dog and thought: "This dog's wound is weird, not like man-made, it is obviously the scar of fighting with other beasts." ”

Xiang'er looked at Zhang Xingjian and said excitedly: "Young master, do you want to name the white dog." ”

After a long time: "Then let's call it, Xiaobai." ”

"Xiaobai, great, you have a name," Xiang'er stroked happily.

"Xiaobai, Xiaobai," he called out unlistened.

It was past unitary, and the little white dog was playing with Xiang'er.

Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and without knocking on the door, he pushed the door open and said impatiently: "Your meal has arrived." ”

This is a member of the Zhang family, and the raw chicken lettuce sent by him was placed at the door, and he left without saying a word.

Xiang'er said angrily: "Young master, even the subordinates are so rude, or Xiang'er will teach you a lesson." ”

"Xiang'er, don't forget it," Zhang Xingjian seemed to be used to it, and his subordinates were rude.

"Young master, you are always like this, forget about the second lady, you are still bullied by your subordinates, you are still so calm, I can't be angry, I am not reconciled," Xiang'er angrily walked over and picked up the food in the basket and walked to Zhang Xingjian.

"As long as the master is not at home, the second lady is so bullying, this time it seems that the master is not at home again, but unfortunately Xiang'er can't cook," Xiang'er looked sad.

"It's okay, get used to it, take these to the kitchen and cut them, wait for me to cook, and make a delicious meal," Zhang Xingjian said as he rolled up his sleeves.

Zhang Xingjian has been targeted by the second lady since he was a child, and Zhang Xingjian has been trained to be a good cook for many years. When Zhang Dingxiang was at home, he would go to the library from time to time to study recipes and watch exercises.

The elders of the family's cultivation exercises were all bought by the second lady, and they had never seriously taught Zhang Xingjian the Zhang family's swordsmanship and exercises, and they had been cultivating to the fifth layer of the Qi Realm.

A few miles away, you can vaguely smell the aroma of kitchen delicacies.

Outside the wall of the Four Shaoyuan, there are two family members squatting. "Do you smell it, it's so fragrant, where are the dishes, I really want to eat them."

His nose kept twitching: "It seems to have come from the fourth young master." ”

In the kitchen of the fourth young man, Zhang Xingjian held a plate of dishes: "It's done." ”

"Young master is so good, your cooking skills have progressed," Xiang'er applauded happily.

"Don't talk nonsense, why don't you clean up the table outside quickly, you're starving," Zhang Xingjian smiled and looked at Xiang'er.

At this time, it was already night, a pot of white wine, a few dishes, a master and a servant, sharing a homemade family banquet.

The two housekeepers on the wall, watching the two of them eat with relish, saliva kept flowing down, and they swallowed saliva from time to time.

Zhang Xingjian fainted, and Xiang'er helped him into the house to rest.

Just when the two of them were asleep, the little white dog slowly came to Xiang'er's door, and fell weakly, his eyes were mixed, the wound on his back was black, and a wisp of black smoke came out.

Not long after the white dog died, the two family members climbed over the wall, secretly came to the dining table, picked up a piece of chicken and ate it: "Well~ delicious." ”

Another Ding: "I've grown so big, I've never eaten such a delicious dish," and wept as he ate.

The two of them ate the leftovers, so they enjoyed it.
