Night, like a huge curtain, shrouded the whole sky, the north wind whistled over Dulonggang, under the post is a white vast earth, silent and desolate.

In Zhujiazhuang on the post, at this time, the lights are like day, and the continuous torches and lanterns reflect the night sky with a fiery red.

The noisy sound came from the courtyard of the main house of the Zhu family, and the banquet was held in the courtyard, and the banquet was staggered, pushing the cup and changing the lamp, and the words were cheerful, and they were happy, but it was not lively.

Zhu Biao drank a few rounds of wine with everyone, and his face was indeed slightly drunk, and he sat straight in his position, looking at the group of big men who were drinking happily next to him, and slowed down the strength of the wine with a smile on his face. I only sighed in my heart, and I don't know how many times I have sighed.

Straight lady thief, who said that the alcohol in ancient times was not high, and it was not intoxicating, who would try to drink a few jars at one time.

Zhu Biao was in a trance, when an old man's voice suddenly came to his ears, "San Lang, I'm happy today, and my father will also accompany you to drink a few bowls." ”

Zhu Biao looked up, only to see a little peach in pink, helping Zhu Chaofeng, who was approaching the sixtieth birthday, to walk in front of him, Zhu Biao hurriedly got up, stepped forward to help Zhu Chaofeng sit down, glanced at the little girl, and said: "It's so late, you don't sleep by yourself, why did you bring my father over." ”

Xiao Taoyao spit out her pink tongue, took out a crystal clear sugar gourd from her back, and said with a smile: "Childe, it's not that Taoyao is ignorant, it's Ah Weng who gave me the sugar gourd." ”

When Zhu Biao heard this, he smiled bitterly, this little girl loves to wear pink clothes, and she is well-behaved, and her innocent age is the "group pet" on this Dulonggang, basically wherever she goes, as long as she sacrifices her little face and is pinched, she can eat sugar gourds.

Zhu Biao does not restrain her, although she is nominally her personal little maid, she has always been regarded as her sister.

Zhu Biao made a face and said, "Now that you have been delivered, go back to sleep." ”

"No, no, no." The little girl's head shook like a rattle, and she said glutinously: "I received two sugar gourds from Sister Jin'er, and I want to help her run errands." ”

"What did Jin'er ask you to do?"

"Of course, it's Sister Zhenniang and Uncle Lin...... Ah, Tao Yao can't say. Xiao Tao was halfway through speaking, and quickly exclaimed, covering her mouth with her hand.

Zhu Chaofeng on the side looked at the two of them with joy, Tao Yao, this little girl, he liked it from the bottom of his heart, and treated it as his granddaughter, and she was even more spoiled than Zhu Biao on weekdays.

"Okay, let's leave Taoyao here, or be a companion with Sanniang, Zhenniang and Lin Jiaotou's affairs, let Jin'er's girl and Xiao Taoyao do it, it's more appropriate than you to do it." Zhu Chaofeng said.

Zhu Biao also nodded when he heard this, pulled the little girl, pointed to the pavilion not far away, and said: "You go to the pavilion over there to find your sister Qing'e, Jin'er will tell you to do a good job, and I will take you with me next time I go out." ”

"Yay!" The little girl exclaimed happily, nodded heavily, and jumped away in the direction of the gazebo.

Seeing the little girl running away, Zhu Biao turned around, picked up the wine jug on the table, poured a bowl for Zhu Chaofeng, and said with a smile: "Why did Dad think about coming over tonight?" ”

Over the years, Zhujiazhuang has been taken care of by Zhu Biao, as he gets older, Zhu Chaofeng has long since retreated into the background, and he doesn't ask about things on weekdays, and basically does not participate in such banquets.

"Dad is here to eat and drink with you, and by the way, I will say something." Zhu Chaofeng said with a smile.

When Zhu Biao heard this, he didn't say much, just waiting for Zhu Chaofeng to speak again. His father is not an old man from an ordinary family, he is shrewd and wise, and he was also a person who was able to create such a great business in Dulonggang in the past.

Zhu Chaofeng ate a bowl of wine and said in a deep voice: "San Lang, Dad knows that you are a person with ideas, over the years, Dad has watched you gather this huge Dulonggang little by little, and subdued the arrogant Li Ying and Hu Cheng one by one, and went thousands of miles to Tokyo Bianliang to invite Mr. Wen to sit in the town, and later you successively invited Teacher Luan, Wang Jiaotou, and Lin Jiaotou to Zhuangshang, plus today's Du Yan, and Wu Erlang of Nayanggu County, all of whom are among the best martial arts in the world; On weekdays, you are also dating heroes such as Cangzhou Chai Daguan, Lu Yuanwai of the Daimyo Mansion, and Wubao Lord of Weisheng Prefecture. ”

"San Lang, Dad knows that you have great ambitions in your heart, Dad only asks, in the future, we will be a soldier or a bandit in Dulonggang Sanzhuang?"

When Zhu Biao heard this, although he had been prepared in his heart, he was still in a trance by Zhu Chaofeng, not because of the meaning of the words, but because of the licking of the calf in the words.

Bandits are like combs, soldiers are like grates, thousands of years of history, dynasties have changed, emperors have changed batch after batch, hundreds of thousands of words are sprinkled in the history books, and the whole article is just the word "cannibalism".

Zhu Biao stabilized his mind and said: "We Dulonggang do not be soldiers, nor bandits, children are for 'righteousness', to be righteous soldiers, to gather righteous soldiers, to do righteous deeds, for personal righteousness, but also for the national righteousness." ”

"Okay, Saburo is so ambitious."

Zhu Chaofeng cheered and said with a straight smile: "Just these few words of Chong Saburo, it is worth eating two more bowls for my father." ”

Zhu Biao smiled and filled a bowl for Zhu Chaofeng, poured another bowl for himself, touched Zhu Chaofeng gently, drank it all, and then continued.

"Dad didn't come to the child to ask this, let's not be polite between father and son, Dad has something to say, and the child will do it."

Zhu Chaofeng slowly put down the wine bowl in his hand, groaned for a while, and said: "Then Dad will tell you bluntly, now our Dulonggang is becoming more and more prosperous, everyone performs their duties, only your two brothers only do some idle things all day long, but what do you plan to arrange?" ”

When Zhu Biao heard this, he looked stunned, and turned his head to look at Zhu Long and Zhu Hu, who were drinking with Luan Tingyu, Du Biao and others next to him, and a trace of guilt flashed in his heart.

Over the years, everyone has been placed in the right position by themselves, but they have neglected the two brothers who are closest to them. Although the two of them don't say it because they are brothers, they must have a pimple in their hearts.

However, in the Water Margin, although Zhu Long and Zhu Hu are not strong in martial arts, they are not as strong as the fierce men on the Thirty-six Tiangang, but they are much stronger than most of the people on the seventy-two Earth Evil Stars.

Zhu Biao was silent for a long time, and said to Zhu Chaofeng: "The eldest brother is calm and capable, and he will do business with his righteous brother Li Ying after the year; The second brother is fierce and brave, so he went to learn some military skills under the head of the Wang Jiao, what does my father think? ”

"That's very good." When Zhu Chaofeng heard this, he nodded with satisfaction, lowered his head and drank another bowl of wine, and only said meaningfully.

"San Lang, my father knows that your eldest brother and second brother are not good at martial arts, so it is better for you to invite these heroes back to the village to be strong, but you need to save it when you fight tiger brothers, even if one day, everyone turns their backs on you, your two brothers will stand by your side."
