In the fourteenth year of Wanli, on the first day of July, Qingdao Wharf.

The white mist wafts on the sea, the early morning breeze blows across the shore, and the silver-white waves crash one after another on the reef on the shore, forming brilliant waves.

In front of the wharf, there was a crowd of people, and many people from Qingdao gathered here, their eyes were fixed on the sea level in front of them, and the whole wharf was extremely silent.

"It's coming, it's coming." Suddenly, a sound exploded through the crowd, and finally quickly spread through the crowd.

As soon as the words fell, warships appeared in everyone's field of vision.

On the main ship, a man stood proudly, he looked at the Qingdao pier close at hand, and couldn't help but relax, and immediately urged the sailors to speed up.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way." On the dock, a team of heavily armed sergeants armed with Changge were running quickly to disperse the people on the side in case something unexpected happened.

After doing all this, the sergeants lined up neatly, and Xu Xi looked forward to the queue, his eyes slowly moving with the movement of the warship.

Shen Lian and Du Ling stood respectfully behind them, not daring to disturb them.

After the warship docked, "Boom! I heard a loud noise, the boat lowered the escalator, and a young general walked down the escalator slowly, and then picked up Xu Xi by the waist in the surprised eyes of everyone and ran towards his residence.

.......

In the residence, Xu Xi lay flat on the bed, and Zhang Yun lay on her lower abdomen, gently listening to the movements.

His appearance makes it difficult to associate him with Changning Hou, who has killed countless people.

"Poof." Xu Xi looked at her husband's stupid appearance and couldn't help laughing, "It's only been less than two months now, how can there be movement so soon." ”

"I said yes, you must not interrupt me." Zhang Yun continued to lie on his lower abdomen and listen.

Xu Xi propped up his upper body and stroked Zhang Yun's face dotingly: "Okay, good, you say you have it." ”

"You..." Just as she was about to continue speaking, Zhang Yun actually fell asleep on top of her.

At this moment, he is no longer the Changning Marquis who can determine life and death in front of that person; He was just a husband, a husband who was wandering away and now finally returning home.

He was so tired, so tired, now he just wanted to lie in his wife's arms and sleep beautifully, the faint fragrance on Xu Xi's body was like a requiem, and he fell asleep as soon as he smelled it.

Xu Xi glanced at her husband with distress on her face, and muttered in a low voice: "Sleep, sleep, you won't have to be so tired in the future." ”

After saying that, he also closed his eyes.

I don't know how long it has been, when the afterglow of the sunset shines through the window, Zhang Yun slowly opened his eyes and hurriedly got up from Xu Xi, for fear of pressing the fetus in her womb.

"Huh? You're awake. Xu Xi felt the movement, her eyelashes jumped slightly, and she woke up.

"Hmm."

Zhang Yun replied softly, then took her into his arms and whispered: "I promise you that I will never lead troops out again in three years." ”

Without waiting for Xu Xi to reply, she kissed her red lips directly, she hugged Zhang Yun's neck and gave a warm response.

After a long time, the two lips parted. At this moment, Xu Xi's face was flushed, and his eyebrows were staring at Zhang Yun like silk.

Zhang Yun couldn't stand her eyes, and said hesitantly: "I'll tell you, you... Don't mess around. ”

After speaking, under Xu Xi's surprised gaze, she fled from the house, leaving her with a displeased look on the bed.

When I got out of the small courtyard, it was already dusk.

Zhang Yun was full of interest and first went to Qingdao Wharf.

At dusk, the beach is a special taste, the blue water is illuminated by the setting sun, like a red blanket, covering the sky, seabirds on the surface of the sea up and down, and from time to time there are a few chirps, and the white waves rush to the shore, splashing the waves.

The wharf was crowded with returning fishing boats.

At this time, it was the height of summer, and the fishermen were shirtless and sweating, so they did not forget to show off the harvest of this trip with their companions.

From time to time, there would be a few hearty laughs from the crowd, and the women would bring tea to their husbands while wiping the sweat from their faces.

Zhang Yun couldn't help but be intoxicated by this beautiful and tranquil scene, until the fishermen on the pier disappeared from view, and then he got up and walked around the coast.

The cool sea breeze blew in his face, and he suddenly became clever and sobered up a lot.

Looking at such a vast sea, Zhang Yun's heart rose with infinite pride and ambition.

It was the worst of times, when the scholars were in power and the common people were exploited; At the same time, it is also the best era, there is no strong enemy outside, and he is in the prime of life and has the trust of the emperor, which is the opportunity to show his hands and feet.

As soon as he thought of this, the corners of Zhang Yun's mouth rose slightly, revealing a smile.

After a round trip, it was completely dark.

After not eating for a day, he finally felt hunger coming at him, "Gollum ....."

He smiled and shook his head, and then ran towards the night market in Qingdao.

Qingdao's night markets were originally located in the west and east of the city.

Later, in order to facilitate management, Shen Lian and Du Lingyi combined and drove them all to the east of the city.

Because all the food is gathered together, the business of this night market is also booming a lot, coupled with the fact that the Ming Dynasty has just returned from victory, and the influx of the Changning army has added a lot of popularity to this night market.

At this moment, more than ten miles of long street is lit up all kinds of lamp mountain, the end of the lamp mountain is a three-storey restaurant, the figure in front of the restaurant is moving, the sound of shouting and selling is endless.

Dark clouds cover the moon, there are only a few stars in the sky, but the flickering candlelight illuminates the entire long street as if it were day, and many diners on the long street talk and laugh, a prosperous and peaceful scene.

Zhang Yun nodded secretly, and then casually walked into a restaurant on the side of the street.

As soon as he walked in, a clever guy greeted him: "This master, how many?" ”

"One, two good dishes." Zhang Yun said lightly.

Xiao Er smiled and yelled inside: "Okay, a distinguished guest, a special dish!" At the same time, he kept walking and took Zhang Yun to a small table to sit down.

After sitting down, Zhang Yun smiled at him and began to scan the situation in the restaurant casually.

Many diners brought their families here to celebrate the triumphant return of the Ming Dynasty, and their joy and excitement were overflowing.

The sound ......of firecrackers suddenly came to mind, and the diners in the house hurriedly covered their ears, and after a while, the sound of firecrackers stopped, and thick white smoke rose from the street, choking children and coughing.

"Holy shit, you don't know how far away you put the artillery, you see my child is choking."

"yes, don't let me get caught, otherwise, I'll kill you turtle grandson."

“.......”

Zhang Yun covered his nose and frowned secretly, setting off firecrackers in the downtown late at night is too choking.

"Guest, you're ready." In the midst of his thoughts on how to rectify it, a voice pulled him back to reality.

When he came back to his senses, there were already a few side dishes in front of him, yellow croaker, fried river shrimp, kung pao chicken, and a dish that he couldn't name, judging by its appearance, it should be a fish.

However, he was now almost hungry, so he didn't bother about it, and with rice, he dried three bowls in a row, and then he felt half full.

After being full of wine and food, Zhang Yun called Xiao Er and said, "What kind of fish are you, why haven't you seen it before?" ”

Xiao Er hurriedly replied with a smile: "We don't know what it's called, it seems that they came from the south." ”

According to the people over there, the fish was unusually delicious, and we tasted it a few times, and it was. ”

Zhang Yun nodded secretly, this should be a fish in the South China Sea, no wonder he hasn't seen it. This tastes really good, and it probably doesn't come cheap.

"How much?"

Xiao Er smiled and shook his head: "Don't ask for money, our boss said that he won't charge your money from guests." ”

"Oh?" Zhang Yun became interested, "Who is your boss?" Do I know each other? ”

Xiao Er smiled without saying a word, and took care of himself to clean up the leftovers on the table.

Zhang Yun was confused, and walked to the counter to inquire in person, and saw an old man in a robe walking outside the counter.

"You are?"

The old man replied with a smile: "Little brother, you don't know me, but I know you." In the eleventh year of Wanli, I set up a small stall here. ”

Zhang Yun's thoughts were pulled back to the eleventh year of Wanli, when he was just preparing to develop Qingdao, and he came to a stall with Han Cheng and Zhao Hu......

"You're the old man who sells fish?!" Zhang Yun exclaimed, "You have changed so much, I can't even recognize you now." ”

The old man smiled and said, "It's you, little brother, you haven't changed at all, and it's still unspeakably expensive." ”

The two were like old friends reuniting, and they exchanged pleasantries for a while, and in the end, Zhang Yun saw that it was getting late, so he got out under the pretext that he still had his wife to take care of him at home.

After getting out, Zhang Yun ran towards his residence with brisk steps. When he arrived at the residence, he slowed down and then knocked softly on the door.

"The door is unlocked, come in." Soon a crisp sound was heard from inside.

Zhang Yun pushed the door and entered, and saw that Xu Xi had finished washing, and was wearing clothes as thin as silkworm yarn, sitting cross-legged at the head of the bed, a large piece of snow-white skin exposed to the air.

"Gollum!" Zhang Yun swallowed a mouthful of saliva, then sat down at the table and drank two sips of tea in a row, not daring to look at the little goblin.

All of a sudden, the atmosphere in the room became extremely strange.

Xu Xi saw that Zhang Yun hadn't gone to bed for a long time, and lightly opened his lips: "Where have you been?" Why is there a lot of fireworks smell on your body? ”

"I went out for a stroll and ate something."

Xu Xi pretended to be slightly angry: "Okay, you sneaked out to play, and you dared not take me." ”

Zhang Yun knew that his wife was unwell, so he naturally didn't dare to take her to the city, in case of an accidental bump, then he would lose a lot.

However, in order to coax her, Zhang Yun had to use the procrastination trick: "Next time, next time." "Next time, next time, next time, let's get past this time.

"That's pretty much it." Xu Xi muttered in a low voice, "Carry me to bed, I'm almost tired today." ”

"Yes." Zhang Yun picked up Xu Xi with a smile, and then the two hugged each other and fell asleep.
