Chapter 228: A man disguises himself as a woman
The dishonest female version of Zeng Zhixing also learned not to go to the front door, but to go to the wrong door.
It is a good thing to save money and not reveal your identity, killing two birds with one stone, of course, this knowledge is learned from Luo Hao.
Zeng Zhixing, who inquired several times with his voice, finally found the house of Zeng Qinxin, the eldest sister of Nanxiang.
In the half-open courtyard, a milk doll sitting on a wooden chair was crying and looking for someone.
"Come on, don't cry, you little ancestor!"
There was obvious love in the young woman's reproachful voice, which was also Zeng Zhixing's familiar voice, but it was much more mature than before.
Zeng Zhixing approached the door without moving, looking at the neatly dressed young woman.
There was a silver hairpin in her bun, her beautiful face was a little thin, and her washed-out floral muslin dress did not have a patch.
Zeng Zhixing recognized at a glance that the young woman was exactly the person he was looking for, the eldest sister Zeng Qinxin, who had been smart and beautiful since she was a child.
If there is no war and famine, the eldest sister can find a young descendant with a solid family and live a happy life.
It's a pity that everything was broken, and the family was torn apart, and it was impossible to see each other again for the rest of their lives.
On the way here, Zeng Zhixing had already inquired about the dead owner of the carriage and horse shop, a bad old man who was over half a hundred years old.
Fortunately, the original partner and stepson of this family have died, leaving only the eldest sister and the son who is less than a year old in the family.
The carriage and horse shop business has long been sold, otherwise a woman's family would not be able to keep the family property at all.
Zeng Zhixing's eyes were red, he looked at the young woman who was only seventeen years old, and said softly.
"Big sister!"
Zeng Qinxin, who was feeding the child with his back to the courtyard gate, was so frightened by this abrupt sound that he knocked over the bowl in his hand.
He got up and blocked the child behind him, looked at the beggar woman who suddenly appeared at the gate of the courtyard, and couldn't slap himself.
[The door hasn't been closed for a while, why did someone break into the house! ] 】
"You...... You...... You...... Get out! ”
Zeng Qinxin saw the beggar woman walking towards her with red eyes, and her straight eyes kept staring at the child behind her.
I was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, but I didn't have anything to take advantage of in my hand, so I had to open my hands in front of the child.
"Don't hurt my child, there's food in the kitchen, go get it and leave."
My brother is very powerful, he is a government official! ”
Zeng Zhixing, who was full of sadness, was amused by this girl's words.
No wonder the family was able to gain a firm foothold in Wuling City, it turned out that the third brother became a servant.
The stinky boy is quite promising!
"Big sister, I can't even hear the voice of the eldest brother.
Why is it that the bigger the stupider, the more stupid it is, is it true that she has become stupid after becoming a mother. ”
Zeng Zhixing lifted the hair that covered his face, revealing a dirty face, and approached Zeng Qinxin to let her see.
"Big brother...... Zeng Zhixing? ”
Zeng Qinxin mentioned this familiar name, his throat was a little choked, and he didn't believe that the beggar woman in front of him was the eldest brother who had disappeared for a few years.
The brother who loves her the most!
"Silly girl, the eldest brother went back to Jiming Village to find you, and only after asking Uncle Jiang did I know that you came to Wuling City.
At that time, when I saw the dilapidated state of my home, I was almost scared to death, and the Qiu family next door wanted to trick me into her house.
I was so scared that I didn't dare to stay in the village, are my father and mother and my third brother all right? ”
Zeng Zhixing saw his sister's dizzy crying appearance, funny and distressed, and hurriedly changed the topic.
"Fetch some water for the eldest brother to wash up, don't you know when you see the real face!"
Zeng Qinxin, who finally woke up, had recognized from the familiar voice and face that it was really the eldest brother.
"Hmm~mm! Big brother, you wait, Qin Xin will go. ”
Zeng Qinxin, who was ecstatic, didn't even care about his crying son, and rushed into the kitchen with a pan sound.
Rushing out with a basin of cold water and the wind, he rolled into another room and took out a new cotton towel.
Zeng Zhixing can see that the family's life is still passable, and he is not in a hurry to talk about his own situation, and he will talk about it together when the family comes back.
…
After washing, Zeng Zhixing sat in the courtyard and listened to Zeng Qinxin talk about the past at home, and he was still a little sad.
Fortunately, except for the second brother who has no whereabouts, the whole family is alive and well, which is much better than the Jiang family.
At noon, when the old couple of the Zeng family and their youngest son Zeng Zhihe came back together, they all stood at the door in a daze when they saw the sudden extra men in the family.
The three of them couldn't believe their eyes, their mouths opened wide but they couldn't make a sound.
Zeng Zhixing looked at the stupid family members and could understand their feelings very well, because he was in the same mood when he saw his eldest sister at that time.
"Daddy...... Third Brother...... I am back! ”
"Wow...... Son!
Are you really back?
Thank you to all the gods for blessing me and letting my son return safely! ”
Great-mother knelt down excitedly and kowtowed, and her mouth was full of words.
Great-father and Zeng Zhi took a few steps forward, and the father and son hugged each other and punched each other, and I punched each other on the shoulder.
"It's good to be back, it's good to be back!"
"Big brother, you can be regarded as back, if you don't come back, I want to go to you!"
A young man in a military uniform, his face is a little mature, perhaps because he has experienced family changes or has seen more.
…
The Zeng family, which had the best result, closed the courtyard door and gathered to talk, and finally agreed to leave with Zeng Zhixing.
As for the matter of the road, Zeng Zhihe, who was a servant, came forward to solve it, and Zeng Zhixing also said by the way that the Jiang family would also go together.
"Big brother, don't worry, this matter is on me.
I said that I already had the whereabouts of the second brother in the family, and I took my family to Jiangfu to join the second brother.
Just give a little silver, and you'll be fine. Zeng Zhihe blinked and said smartly.
"Didn't you get stuck very tightly before?" Zeng Zhixing asked curiously.
He remembered that after the founding of the northern kingdom, the decree issued by the dynasty did not allow the people to move at will, in order to imprison people in the land.
"That was the previous law, to put it bluntly, money can make the devil grind, and it is also to increase local fiscal revenue.
Besides, let's go to the second brother who was promoted in Jiangfu, and no one will really investigate. Zeng Zhihe leaned in and whispered.
"Big brother, you're back just in time!
There are several families in the city who come to our house to kiss, and my father and mother are worried about this! ”
Zeng Zhixing glanced up and down when he heard this, and there was still some tender-faced third brother, and he couldn't help but feel some sympathy for him.
When he came back, he encountered a group of women robbing her husband.
"You don't know, Jiang Zifeng and I almost didn't escape the clutches of those women.
Tsk, it's terrible!
I had already married and had a daughter there, so I didn't want to be involved with women outside.
A group of hungry wolves, no matter how strong a man is, he can't stand it! ”
"Hey...... Big brother is so glamorous! ”
Zeng Zhihe glanced at his father, who was slightly red, put his arm around the eldest brother's shoulder, and the two brothers went to the side to talk.
And the content of the conversation was their father, Zeng Zhixing was dumbfounded, and their family almost had a few more aunts.
The brothers looked at the old lady who had just cried and wiped away her tears with admiration, but they didn't expect that it was their own mother who was really powerful.
It took the power of one person to drive away five women to keep the peace of their family.
In this world, it's really not easy to be a man!
