Regarding Zhang's mother's words, Zhang Bairen never dared to disobey.

The grace of parenting is greater than the sky, Zhang Bairen has been remembering since he was born, and it is really inappropriate for his mother to raise himself all the way.

When the mother and son were at their most difficult, the little grass roots they dug up had to be eaten by Zhang Bairen, and Zhang's mother was hungry and eating sand.

That time was the hardest time, and Zhang Bairen even doubted that he would be starved to death like this, and then reincarnated.

Fortunately, Zhang's mother had tenacious vitality and met some people who had migrated, so she was lucky to be exiled outside the border.

Compared to Kannai, at least there is still grass root bark outside Kannai. Coupled with Uncle Zhang's care, Zhang Bairen and Zhang's mother survived like this.

It's not so much about taking care of it, it's better to say about cooperation, Uncle Zhang alone will never be able to support Zhang Xiaocao alone, there is Zhang's mother taking care of the two children at home, Uncle Zhang went out to find food, fortunately, things didn't get to the worst step.

"My Zhang family is in the middle of the road, all hopes are pinned on you, it is really not easy for my mother to support you, you must not disappoint your mother" Zhang's mother had tears in her eyes: "It's a pity!"

I don't know what Zhang's mother is sorry for, after a chatter, she turned around and left, leaving Zhang Bairen kneeling under the tablet, looking at hundreds of vermilion tablets and smiling bitterly: "Let's go! ”

Zhang Bairen stood up slowly, but unfortunately he came to this world a little late, why his mother was in Saibei, Zhang Bairen didn't know.

When Zhang Bairen came over, Zhang's mother was already on the way to exile, and she could only know that this woman was extraordinary through Zhang's mother's conversation.

The Zhang family must be related to Jiangnan, and even the famous family in Jiangnan may not be said, but why Zhang's mother is in exile is still an unsolved case.

Slowly stood up and walked out of the ancestral hall, the north wind blew, Zhang Bairen tightened his clothes, looked at the scorching sun in the sky, and smiled: "Good, good, good, good weather!" I just hope that everything in life will be better." ”

Back in the study, Zhang Lihua sat in front of the window looking at the books, and Zhang Bairen came to Zhang Lihua's side: "Does Lihua know the ancient Loulan script?"

"Ancient Loulan characters?" Zhang Lihua was stunned: "This thing is rare, and there are not many people who understand it." But it just so happens that the concubine is one of the few people, how can the little gentleman remember the words of the ancient Loulan in a good manner?"

Zhang Bairen smiled bitterly: "It's not that I entered the ancient country of Loulan this time, and I have obtained some inheritance of the ancient country of Loulan. ”

"No, this is for you" Zhang Lihua rummaged through the bookshelves for a while, and took out a quaint book: "Your collection of books is really rich, and there is really a book about the identification of ancient Loulan characters, and after reading this book, you will recognize eight or nine inseparable from ten." ”

Taking the books handed over by Zhang Lihua, Zhang Bairen smiled bitterly, it was hard to imagine how Zhang's mother had come all the way with so many books.

Zhang Bairen always felt that something was wrong with Zhang's mother, but he couldn't say what was wrong.

Zhang Bairen felt that there were traces of cultivation on Zhang's mother, but he couldn't find evidence.

When I was young, I had just crossed over, and my energy consumption was huge, and I spent most of the day sleeping. But with so many books, Zhang's mother, a weak woman, and Zhang Bairen, who is still newborn, how can she get it?

After taking Loulan's classics, Zhang Bairen slowly opened them, and it was indeed as Zhang Lihua said, talking about the content of Loulan's character identification.

"What is the problem with Mr. Xiao, just come and ask me, the concubine must know everything" Zhang Lihua smiled, the three thousand green silk seemed to be black satin, which made people have a desire to grab a handful.

The lively New Year is coming, the slaves in the village are also happy, Zhang Bairen has never been a stingy person, he knows the difficulties of the people below, the old and young in the family are waiting to be raised, no one will say that their lives are good these years.

The New Year is coming as scheduled, and Ma Youcai, who has been gone for a year, still has no news, but Zhang Bairen is not in a hurry.

There is such a big thing happening in Dunhuang, and the Silk Road is definitely not easy to follow.

Zhang Bairen quietly looked at the red lantern at the door, and the sound of firecrackers outside the yard was non-stop.

Looking at the servants burning firecrackers, last year there were only three people in their yard, mother, herself, and Zhang Lihua, but this year there are hundreds of people, and the New Year is unprecedentedly lively.

The girls prepared singing and dancing talents, eating fragrant Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, Zhang Bairen felt that the taste of the New Year was so strong!

"Come, I'll show you something new!" Seeing the moon in the middle of the sky, the sound of firecrackers in the city sounded, Zhang Bairen pulled Zhang Lihua and other female dependents to the wide courtyard, holding incense in his hand, and the smoke was ignited instantly.

A sharp air explosion, bursts of colored light spread throughout Zhuo County, inside and outside the Great Wall, and even the distant Turkic tribes could vaguely see the bright light in the sky.

City

Hundreds of people walked out of their homes one after another, looking at the fireworks exploding in the sky, with a look of curiosity in their eyes, not knowing what this thing was?

It doesn't look like it.

Zhang Bairen's face was full of smiles, and he looked proudly at the women who covered their ears behind him, and the fireworks exploded in the sky, and the ghosts and gods retreated.

"What is this?" Yu Juluo stood in the courtyard, looking at the fireworks in the sky from afar, with a curious look in his eyes: "This kid likes to tinker with some strange things, but it looks quite lively, and the power of that strange qi machine can actually shock and disturb the ghosts and gods, which is really strange." ”

Countless ghosts and gods were scattered by the screams of the pyrotechnic gas, but they had to pinch their noses and admit that although Zhang Bairen could not cover the sky with one hand in Zhuo County, he should be one of the most powerful.

"Little sir, what is this?" Zhang Lihua looked curious.

Zhang Bairen waved his sleeves, all the remaining barrels were put away, and the gunpowder could not be exposed, this thing was too terrible, and no one knew what the consequences would be if it was leaked.

"This is a good thing, a rare good thing, you will know it later!" Zhang Bairen said with a smile.

Everyone flocked to Zhang Bairen into the house, and after wrapping dumplings and worshipping the ancestors of the family, everyone ate and drank until late at night.

Outside the estate

Countless beggars are leading the meat porridge, Zhang Bairen knows the suffering of beggars, so he naturally thinks of this.

From the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve to the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, meat porridge was given every day, and this incident caused a sensation throughout Zhuo County, and beggars in nearby border cities rushed to hear the news, and the beggars gathered outside the door were afraid that there were not more than 100,000 people.

The rations of more than 100,000 people are not a small amount, and not only beggars, but also some poor people come to join in the fun.

Zhang Bairen did not refuse to come, he was not short of money or food.

The hot porridge was divided in an instant, looking at the team that connected the heavens and the earth, Song Laosheng smiled bitterly, but he didn't expect to be blocked outside just after running over to pay New Year's greetings.

It took a lot of effort to squeeze in, and Song Laosheng looked at Zhang Bairen, who was sitting in the hall leisurely drinking tea, with a wry smile: "Mr. Xiao, I'm afraid that the rations of more than 100,000 people don't cost a thousand handfuls of silver a day, and there is meat in it, Mr. Xiao is really rich, why don't you sponsor me." ”

"Why are you here?" Zhang Bairen looked at Song Laosheng with a curious look in his eyes: "According to my guess, you should go to the general's place." ”

"Aren't I thinking of going with you?" Song Lao ** smiled fraudulently: "I can inquire about last year's affairs, the things that the general and the county marquis gave you are simply not as good as my things, I will go with you this time to see how the county marquis can handle it." ”

Tuck the classics of the ancient kingdom of Loulan in his hand into his sleeve, looking at the deceitful face of Song Lao**, Zhang Bairen shook his head: "Let's go, go and give the general a hundred years." ”

"Hina Mo, are the gifts ready?" Zhang Bairen shouted into the corner.

"Ready"

"Let's go!" Zhang Bairen strode out of the manor

New year, new weather, Zhuo County is full of lights, a prosperous, all kinds of stalls on the road do not know how many.

I bought a handful of sugar-fried chestnuts and chewed them in my mouth and came to Yujura Manor.

"General, Happy New Year!" Zhang Bairen walked in with a grin.
