Although Wu Dazhong has a lot of children, he is not too old. In fact, in Ming Dynasty, it is not uncommon for a young man in his thirties to be surrounded by a lively boy who looks like his brother but is actually his son.
These days, everyone is getting married at a young age. Ming Dynasty law clearly stipulates that men can get married at the age of sixteen or fourteen. However, it is no longer uncommon for people to get married at the age of thirteen or fourteen.
For someone like Wu Dazhong, who was in his forties and had three children, Qian Wubing's mother-in-law died early, otherwise, even if he had seven or eight children, it would not be a strange thing.
Holding their luggage, the father and daughter stood on the street. The front was still bustling with people. From time to time, shouts came from a distance, and there were even loud cheers. Wu Dazhong looked over there. He didn't care about this.
What he was concerned about was that he had to find his son and son-in-law before dark to get down to business.
"Yanran, follow me. Don't get lost. Dad, go find someone to ask!" Turning around and telling his daughter, Wu Dazhong walked towards a shop assistant who was leaning against the door and lazily looking at the street.
"Excuse me, little brother, I want to know how the bull market goes!"
There was a bit of unhappiness in the boy's face. Everyone else in the shop had gone to the street in front to watch the excitement. He was left alone to guard the shop. No one else could be happy. He squinted at this obvious person.
The man who spoke in Mandarin responded nonchalantly: "You must be from out of town. Why are you going to the cattle market? If you want to rest here, the Yuelai Inn opposite is good!"
"Visiting relatives!" Wu Dazhong said cheerfully, "I just came to Nanjing. I don't even know this!"
There was a loud roar in front, and then there were waves of cheers. The waiter felt as if a cat was scratching his paws: "Follow our South Street to the west for three more streets. When you see the majestic three-story building, you have arrived.
It’s a bull market, uncle, are your relatives doing business?”
Wu Dazhong thanked him and replied with a smile: "No, I am eating from the public family!"
"Ah, then you have to go and take a look in front. I heard that there is a fight between Jin Yiwei and Uncle Ping'an from Niushi. If you work in Jin Yiwei's Yamen, you might be able to see your relative in front!"
"Oops!" Wu Yanran behind Wu Dazhong covered her mouth and her expression suddenly changed. Niu Shi's Jin Yiwei and an uncle were fighting in the street. How could Qian Wubing not be there?
"Thank you, brother, I'll go over and take a look!" Wu Dazhong pulled Wu Yanran and hurried towards the crowded place in front.
"Dad, how could he do this if he is not sick? Isn't he a very peaceful person in the capital?" Wu Yanran was a little panicked.
"An'an, what the hell? This kid is too old. No one is here to take care of him. He's getting angry again. Let's go over and have a look!" Wu Dazhong cursed, and regardless of the crowd, he pulled his daughter and headed towards
The crowd pushed through.
Wu Dazhong saw his son at the first sight. As for the people lying on the ground beside his son, wailing, he simply ignored them.
Wu Huchen was holding a short wooden stick in his hand. With Wu Dazhong's eyes, he did not recognize it as a jujube stick at a glance. His opponent was also holding a black stick in his hand.
At this moment, I was having a great time playing ping-pong with Wu Huchen.
There were still several couples fighting in the field, but Wu Dazhong could not see them in his eyes. It had only been two months since they had seen each other. Wu Huchen seemed to have grown taller. He was now wearing the uniform of a school captain.
, holding a wooden stick, it actually produced a somewhat majestic flavor.
"Dad, it's my brother!" Wu Yanran also saw Wu Huchen. However, she glanced at Wu Huchen's body and saw that her brother was fine. She hurriedly searched among the people in the field. Since Wu Huchen
They all appeared here, how could I not see that familiar figure?
"This kid is not lazy!" Wu Huchen snorted. He could see that although Wu Huchen and his opponent were fighting lively, the guys in their hands did not greet each other's vital points. The real one was the capital guard station.
The way the fight was going on, the heart that had just been in suspense immediately relaxed again.
Wu Yanran's eyes finally stopped behind Wu Huchen after turning in a circle. The familiar figure appeared in her eyes, but what was a little strange was that Qian Wubing did not fight the person, but
He was hugged and walked out from behind with a smile.
"Stop!" The two people who walked out of the shop couldn't help but frowned when they saw the mess outside, and shouted almost in unison.
Several people who were fighting in the field immediately separated after hearing the sound. People standing in the two groups also followed this brief pause and quickly helped up their companions who were moaning on the ground.
"Thanks to you, you said that you had beaten the Tatars. You couldn't deal with a bunch of imperial guards with wooden sticks. It's really an embarrassment to the house. Send them all back!" Lin Shanyue suppressed his smile and separated from Qian Wubing.
He walked up to his people and said, "If you don't think it's embarrassing enough, just go back and leave a few people to take care of you!"
At the same time, Qian Wubing also frowned and looked at his group of men. As expected, although they had the advantage in numbers, they still didn't get much advantage from this move. However, except for Wu Huchen,
, the two general flags and a few small flags are quite skilled, which is a surprise, no one likes to have a bunch of losers under them.
"Zhou Zongqi, you take everyone back, and I will take care of the rest. As for the injured brothers, each of them goes to Mr. Liu to get five taels of medicine!"
"Hundred households, over here...!" Chow Tai Fook was a little worried.
"It's okay, we don't know each other without fighting!" Qian Wubing smiled: "It seems that Uncle Lin is not a difficult person to talk to. Everyone has a bit of a misunderstanding. It's okay to just talk to him! Okay, don't worry, hurry up and take care of him.
Let’s go, I’m afraid that by this time, the people from the Military and Horse Division have already arrived, and by the way, take those brothers from Yingtian Mansion away too!”
With the orders from the leaders of both parties, the people dispersed quite quickly. After the tide receded, the streets were filled with idle people watching the excitement. Qian Wubing stood in the middle of the street and shouted loudly: "Disperse, disperse."
They are all gathered here, what is there to see?"
The crowd dispersed, revealing Wu Dazhong and Wu Yanran standing in the crowd. Qian Wubing was stunned for a moment, and wiped his eyes as if he didn't believe his own eyes. Then he looked intently, and his father-in-law stood behind him with a smile on his face.
The person looking at me is not the person I miss day and night?
Qian Wubing smiled and nodded at the two of them, pulled Wu Huchen over and pointed in that direction: "Your father and your sister are here. Go greet them first and take them home. I'll
After finishing things here, go back."
Wu Huchen happily ran towards his relatives. Qian Wubing then turned around and looked at Lin Shanyue, who looked unhappy when facing his general.
The men and horses from the Military and Horse Division finally arrived belatedly. Perhaps they sped up after hearing the news that the battle here had been completed. When the people here were almost dispersed, a few teams came from afar.
officers and soldiers.
This time, not to mention Lin Shanyue, even Qian Wubing was not interested in talking to these guys. Lin Shanyue waved to him, leaving a few generals outside to deal with the officers and soldiers of the Military and Horse Division, and the two left.
Go in.
"If I had used my trump card just now, would you have drawn out your knife?" Lin Shanyue drove away the shopkeeper who came over to serve him. It could be seen that he had been holding back these words for a long time.
"Is the uncle ready?" Qian Wubing asked. Immediately, the two of them looked at each other and laughed.
A quarter of an hour ago, the two of them were fighting each other with stern looks, and they also made a bet that seemed unfair. However, at this moment, no matter which one it was, they unanimously stopped mentioning the bet.
It's over, and both of them knew in their hearts that if they were to change places and fight to the death, there might be a result, but here in the street, with the two of them fighting like this, no one can tell who is better.
Lin Shanyue learned the technique of killing the enemy on the spot, using the wide-open and wide-open approach. As time went by, his strength naturally became worse, while Qian Wubing's strength could keep up. However, against Lin Shanyue's fierceness
It was very difficult to parry and dodge the attack, and he did not dare to actually draw out the knife to kill the opponent or give the opponent a heart-breaking punch. Therefore, after the two of them fought for a long time, they stopped in unison.
:"do not fight!"
"Looking at your age, I thought you were an official because of the kindness of your fathers. I didn't expect you to be so capable!" Lin Shanyue's logic is very simple. With such good skills, he must have good character.
It wasn't much different. Although he had gone through such a big fight today, he was somewhat pleased with Qian Wubing. He also knew that Qian Wubing had not yet used his true skills.
"My uncle's martial arts skills are pretty good. I've already had a hard time parrying them. If it were my bunch of idiots outside, I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to trap my uncle!" The people carrying the sedan chair were carrying people. Since Lin Shanyue was not evil
If you say bad words, Qian Wubing will naturally not be harsh.
"Well, how about you follow me from now on? One day I will go to the battlefield to kill enemies for the imperial court. You should also follow me and fight for your future with sword and gun. It's better to honor your ancestors than to wander around in the street wearing these clothes.
?”
Lin Shanyue sincerely wanted to "recruit" Qian Wubing. In his heart, it would be a pity to be a Jin Yiwei with such skills.
"Then this shop was destroyed by me?" Qian Wubing pointed around.
"If you smash it, just smash it. It's not worth a few dollars!" Lin Shanyue said carelessly.
"But I still have to collect this tax money!" Qian Wubing said with a sad face: "This is an errand sent by the superiors. The cabinet and Eunuch Liu are watching. Uncle, do you think I am that big?
How dare you dare to get into trouble with my uncle for no reason?"
