Leaving Qi'er Haizi, Zhu Shencone and others headed south, originally planning to enter the Great Wall via Yanghewei or Gaoshanwei and finally return to Shanxi, which was also the return route he had set before.

However, due to Lin Dan Khan's gathering of troops in the grassland, the Ming side also got the news, in order to prevent Lin Dan Khan from directly waving his troops south to attack the Ming Dynasty, Xuanfu and Datong were like facing a great enemy, and the border check was much stricter at once, and it was not so easy to enter the Great Wall in this case.

Because of this, they delayed for a while, and Zhu Shencone finally made a circle along the north of the Great Wall, and only after passing through Yulin did he enter the Great Wall from Yunyou Fort. After entering the Great Wall, Zhu Shencone and the others were also relieved.

Then, all the way south, by the time I returned to Binh Duong Province, it was already early May.

Although this trip to the grassland was different from my original plan, the overall situation was quite smooth.

The goods brought have all been sold, and the harvest is full. In addition to the cattle and sheep skins and other goods exchanged for trade, there are also a lot of gold, silver, jewelry, etc., even if it costs some money to pay for the border on the return trip, it is extremely profitable.

No wonder the Jin merchants are rich and wealthy, you must know that Zhu Shencone and they are just a small caravan, and this time going to the grassland is only a preliminary temptation. Changing to the caravan of other big merchants, according to the proportion, it is unimaginable how much profit can be made from running the grassland once.

Back in Pingyang, Zhu Shencheng first found a place to settle the people and goods, and then returned home.

This trip has been out for more than two months, and after being away from home for so long, Zhu Shencone is really a little homesick.

When I got home, the door was still the same, and it seemed to be no different from when I left, the door was closed, and Zhu Shencone stepped forward and slapped the door open.

Inside, when he opened the door and saw Zhu Shencone standing at the door, Zhang was stunned and then surprised, and then couldn't help but show joy.

"Sister-in-law, I'm back!" Zhu Shencone looked at Zhang, who had lost some weight, and said with a smile.

"It's good to come back, it's good to come back, uncle has been back for so long, I've been worried about it in my heart, Amitabha, I can see you come back safely." Zhang's eyes were moist, and his voice trembled slightly.

Zhu Shencone used to go out for a few days from time to time, but no matter what happened at that time, he would come back in half a month at most.

But this time, before Zhu Shencone left, he told Zhang that it would take a long time to go to the grassland this time, and Zhang originally wanted to stop it, because she never thought that Zhu Shencone would suddenly go to the grassland.

In Zhang's heart, the grassland is not the Ming Dynasty, and the people living there are barbaric Mongols. If Zhu Shencone goes to the grassland, what are the three long and two short over there, then what should he do with his own family?

In her heart, Zhang's family didn't want Zhu Shencone to go, but she knew Zhu Shencone's temperament, and she knew that she couldn't stop Zhu Shencone's decision. After Zhu Shencone left, Zhang's family was worried every day at home, not eating or sleeping well, thinking about where Zhu Shencone is now, how is he doing, is there any danger, will something happen......

Day by day, the Zhang family was worried about Zhu Shencone, but he couldn't do anything. She could only set up a small Buddha hall in the main house, and chanted incense in front of the Buddha every day, hoping that the Buddha could bless Zhu Shencone and come back safely as soon as possible.

Finally today, Zhu Shencone came back, Zhang's heart didn't mention how happy he was, he hurriedly beckoned Zhu Shencone to enter the door, heard the movement outside, Qiao'er who was playing in the house ran out, and when he saw Zhu Shencone, he cheered even more, and ran over with his calves.

"Father! Father! Where have you been? Don't you want to be coincidental? I miss you...... I miss you so much....... Throwing herself into Zhu Shencone's arms, the little girl cried and complained loudly, and her small fist also beat Zhu Shencone a few times to express her dissatisfaction after not seeing Zhu Shencone for so many days.

"Okay, okay, don't cry, isn't my father back? We're crying like little cats, and we'll not be pretty if we cry again. Picking up Qiao'er with a smile, Zhu Shencone lovingly helped her wipe away her tears and comforted her softly.

Feeling Zhu Shencone's broad shoulders and the breath and temperature that reassured her, Qiao'er put her little face tightly against Zhu Shencone's neck and hugged her hands tightly.

"Qiao'er, come down, uncle has just come home, let uncle rest first."

"I don't! I want Father! Qiao'er, who is usually well-behaved, refused to let go today, as if she let go of Zhu Shencone and disappeared again.

These days, the little girl misses him, as Zhu Shencone never comes back day by day, the little girl's heart has always been missing, sometimes she will even sit on the threshold of the main house and look at the direction of the courtyard gate for a long time, looking forward to Zhu Shencone suddenly appearing.

But as time went by, Zhu Shencone never came back, and Qiao'er's heart became more and more worried day by day.

When she finally saw him come back today, Qiao'er was happy and complained about him in her heart, and refused to let go of the hand holding him. Because only in Zhu Shencone's arms, Qiao'er has a real sense of safety.

After being separated for so many days, Zhu Shencone also missed them, hugged Qiao'er and comforted her a lot, and took out the things he brought back from the grassland to tease her. The child's emotions came and went quickly, and Qiao'er, who was still crying just now, saw the rare things that Zhu Shencone gave her, her eyes widened in surprise, and she giggled while playing.

"Uncle, ...... this?"

Zhang on the side noticed that Dari came back with Zhu Shencone, and now Dari is no longer the sloppy and pitiful appearance he used to be, these days Dari's dress is no different from that of ordinary Ming people, plus on the way back, he followed Zhu Shencone to eat well, and the half-grown boy had a nutritional supplement, and his face was no longer as thin as the yellow muscles in front of him.

Ma Shizhou and several others were placed in other parts of the city by Zhu Shencone, as for how Dari arranged, Zhu Shencone had already thought about it on the way back, so he simply brought it back when he went home this time.

When he entered the door just now, Dari had been silently following behind Zhu Shencone, and when Zhang saw Zhu Shencone, he was excited, and he didn't notice the short Dari. When she came back to her senses, she found that there was such a person, and she couldn't help but ask about Zhu Shencong.

"This is Dari, I brought it back from the grassland, and I will live with us in the future."

"Dari? Is it the Mongols ......? Zhang asked in surprise.

Zhu Shencone nodded and explained: "Dari is his Mongolian name, but I gave him a Chinese name Wang Hai. ”

As a Mongol slave, Dari naturally did not have a household registration, and placing him elsewhere might have caused trouble. Zhu Shencone took him home directly to be much safer, and although Dari had already started to learn Chinese, he could barely say a few words in such a few days, and he also had a stiff tone, which sounded weird.

"The slave has seen the master, the little master, ......." Wang Hai (Dari will use this name in the future) heard Zhu Shencone say his name, and hurriedly knelt down at Zhang, kowtowing respectfully in Chinese, which was not yet fluent.

"This ...... This....... Wang Hai's actions made the Zhang family startled, the Zhang family is just the daughter of an ordinary family, even if she marries into the Zhu family, but the Zhu family, as a clan, has long since declined, and there has never been a servant in the family, let alone any masters and slaves.

Looking at Wang Hai's humble and respectful look, Zhang didn't know how to get better for a while, she was a woman again, although Wang Hai didn't look very old, but it was not easy to step forward to help, so he could only turn his eyes to Zhu Shencone for help.

"Get up, you just live here for the time being, don't go out casually these days, learn Chinese first, and get your household registration down in a few days." Zhu Shencone said this, Wang Hai answered, kowtowed to them again, and then got up.

"Uncle, what's going on?" Zhang asked suspiciously, this Mongolian kid is really too weird, and Zhang was puzzled.

"I'll talk to you later." Zhu Shencone replied, and then asked Zhang: "Sister-in-law, do you have anything to eat at home?" I just entered the city before I had time to eat, and I was a little hungry ....... ”

Zhang came back to his senses at this time, and quickly blamed himself, and then nodded and said, "Yes!" Yes! You wait first, I'll give you something to eat. ”

"Trouble sister-in-law, by the way, sister-in-law, make more, Wang Hai didn't eat it."

"I know, you go back to the house and rest first, and I'll be fine right away." Zhang said, and then went to the stove room to work.

Holding Qiao'er, he took Wang Hai to his house.

After entering the house, Zhu Shencone asked Wang Hai to put down the things he brought back, and then took him to the side room on the side.

The partial room is next door to Zhu Shencone, this room is not very inhabited on weekdays, but there is furniture and everything in it, and now the weather is getting hotter, and there is no need for a kang or anything, just find a futon to come out, Wang Hai has no problem living here.

After explaining a few words, Wang Hai cleaned up and was cleaning up, outside Zhang shouted that Zhu Shencone had already laid down, Zhu Shencone casually beckoned Wang Hai to eat, Wang Hai shook his head, and said that he was a slave and could not eat with his master, Zhu Shencone didn't say anything, and took Qiao'er over first.

When they arrived at the hall, it was very strange that Zhang didn't see Wang Hai come together, and Zhu Shencone told her that she didn't have to wait for him, and that she would leave a bowl of noodles for Wang Hai later. Seeing Zhang's doubts, Zhu Shencone simply told Wang Hai's situation to Zhang's, Zhang's understood Wang Hai's origin after listening, and then thought that Wang Hai had become a slave at a young age, and had been living a precarious life, as a woman, she couldn't help but feel a little pity for this child.

"Uncle, you use it slowly." After saying a word, Zhang got up and went back to the stove room. Brought a bowl of steaming noodles from the stove room and went to the side room, Wang Hai never thought that the hostess who met for the first time today would actually bring the noodles to himself in person, and for a while Wang Hai was a little at a loss.

"Eat it, kid, and make these your own home in the future." Zhang smiled and said to Wang Hai, seeing Wang Hai's stunned appearance, she didn't stay long, put down the bowl and turned to leave.

Wang Hai came back to his senses, his eyes were red, he knelt down at Zhang, who had already walked to the door, knocked his head several times, and after getting up from the ground, Wang Hai picked up the bowl of fragrant noodles with tears, picked up chopsticks, and ate it in a big gulp.
