Early in the morning, when he heard the woman getting up, Zheng Dabiao wrapped herself in the quilt and covered her head, too lazy to listen to her mother's whisper.

"You useless thing, it's really bad for me to marry you..."

Zheng Dabiao's wife scolded her a few times, but when she saw her husband wrapping her whole body in the torn quilt, she was so angry that she trembled all over. If the two children hadn't grabbed the corner of her clothes and wanted to eat, she would have had a big fight with this coward.

There are nearly a hundred households living in Zheng Family Town, most of whom are surnamed Zheng, but they have nothing to do with the Zheng Family. If you really want to say there are, they are mostly tenants or slaves of the Zheng Family.

The old man of the Zheng family was the commander of Shenmuwei back then, and there were more than a hundred servants in the mansion. Zheng Dabiao's Ada was a servant of the Zheng family back then. Unfortunately, he died early. Although he had saved some money in his early years, he left, but the tea was cold, let alone death as if the lamp had gone out, and no love was gone. Zheng Dabiao's mother was a soft man and could not keep the little family business.

When Zheng Dabiao grew up, his family had been poor and was even destitute by the garrison to go to Qiufang, and almost became a fugitive. In other words, he was involved in the rebellion of Yang Yinglong in Bozhou. He was incorporated into the army of rebellion and sneaked into the artillery camp. In the end, he survived by luck. He brought the money paid by the court after victory and returned to Zhengjia Town, married a wife and gave birth to a baby.

However, Zheng Dabiao's family had long disappeared, and he had no craftsmanship to make money and eat, so he could only make a living by doing odd jobs, and then rely on his wife to wash clothes for the man and become a wet nurse to make some money and live hard.

In this winter, the wealthy families in the town do not need to work, and even the shops are closed. Zheng Dabiao sleeps at home every day, and eats less as much as he can.

After a few words of cursing, Zheng Dabiao's wife went to warm up the two white steamed buns that were asked by the owner of the wet nurse, broke them and gave them to the two children at home. In the end, only half was left left and left for her husband in a bowl.

"You two, stay at home well and don't run around anywhere. If you dare to run around, when my mother comes back, there will be nothing delicious."

Zheng Dabiao's wife carefully reminded the two girls in the family that her husband was useless. Seeing that she gave birth to two girls, she was even more motivated. The companions who came back with him were in trouble, but he couldn't hide his face and went to work for others. He also said that if he gave birth to a son, he would not want his old face. Sooner or later, his daughter would get married, and no matter how hard he earned, he would give it to others.

Zheng Dabiao's wife sometimes disliked her unsophisticated belly and didn't give birth to a handful of people, otherwise she wouldn't have suffered such idleness.

As he thought about it, no matter how fierce his temperament was, Zheng Dabiao's wife couldn't help but want to wipe her tears.

At this moment, there was a sudden sound outside her house, and only a young man could hear a voice outside shouting, "Is this Zheng Dabiao's house?"

Zheng Dabiao's wife felt nervous. Her husband had no ability but had a strong temper. When she was doing odd jobs outside, she often had sex with others. She liked to urinate a few taels of horses after a little spare money. However, this guy had a poor alcohol tolerance. When he got drunk, he liked to mention the story of his quelling chaos in Bozhou. However, people often joked that he was just a waste who fired fire and heard the sound of fire.

For this matter, he has been fighting and quarreling with others a lot, but this dead ghost hasn't gone out for several days and shouldn't have caused any trouble. Zheng Dabiao's wife thought about it, but she took a rolling pin from the stove before walking outside.

Although Zheng Family Town has Zheng Mansion, it has much more rules than those in the wild villages, but Zheng Dabiao's wife dare not be careless. Not long ago, someone was thiefed at the east end of the town. I heard that he was a baby-faced peddler who tricked him into opening the door.

"Who?"

When he arrived at the door of his own yard, Zheng Dabiao's wife asked loudly.

"We are from Hekou Fort, come to find Zheng Dabiao."

The sound outside changed, but what surprised Zheng Dabiao's wife was that the sound seemed to be a woman.

"What are you asking for him?"

"My master has a job to ask him for his job. Are you his wife?"

Standing outside the door, Mulan heard the woman inside a little nervous, but laughed. The Zheng family town is not very big. As long as you spend a little effort, you can find out the news. It's just that you can't hide it from the Zheng Mansion. Zheng Dabiao was the gunner in the official artillery camp when the Bozhou quelled the rebellion. Now he is only thirty-five or six years old. He is very talented and is much better than Zheng Crook.

When Zheng Dabiao's wife was stunned when she heard about her husband with an errand, she quickly opened the door, not caring whether the news was true or not. Then she saw several tough and light-hearted teenagers with swords standing behind her tall woman dressed in men's clothes. She couldn't help but be scared for a moment, "Who are you?"

"Sister, don't be afraid. We are from Hekoubao Baihu Mansion. My master has just taken office. The official army under his command is missing a teacher who teaches how to shoot artillery. We heard that your man was a gunner in the official army back then, so he came to visit him."

Mulan said kindly, but she was heroic, but she was in charge of Hekou Castle these days and had a high aura on her body. When Zheng Dabiao's wife saw it, she still lowered her head unconsciously and believed in this person's words.

"A Guang."

Mulan called out softly, Shen Guang, who followed behind him, stepped forward and handed the gift he brought to the somewhat hesitant woman.

"I don't respect you, so please accept it."

Hearing Mulan's words, Zheng Dabiao's wife saw clearly that there were white pork, salt, eggs and other things in the basket. Finally, she couldn't help but reach out to take the basket.

"Please invite some of the guests."

Zheng Dabiao's wife opened the door and welcomed Mulan and the others. At this time, the two children she had told before saw people coming from the house and all ran out of the kitchen, "My grandma, are you a guest?"

Girls are more sensible than boys. The two girls, the older one, look eight or nine years old, and the younger one is four or five years old. They are not afraid of seeing strangers. Instead, they greet Mulan and the others with greetings.

Looking at the two skinny girls with bone-like arms like bean sprouts, Mulan couldn't help feeling a little distressed, but said to Shen Guang beside her, "A Guang, give them some food."

"Yes, sister."

Shen Guang responded, then quickly took the hot meat pie and gave it to the two girls. However, although the two girls were hungry, they did not reach out to pick it up, but instead looked at their mother.

"This is for you by the distinguished guest, please take it and eat it."

"Thank you, distinguished guest."

The two girls were still very polite. After thanking me, they took the meat pie and bit it on them with their fine teeth. After tasting the taste, their eyes narrowed into crescent moons. The girl said, "My grandma, this pancake is delicious, you can eat it first..."

"It's okay, we still have pancakes here, you can just eat them."

Chen Guang also has a younger sister in his family, who is about the same age as this girl. Seeing that this girl is so sensible, he couldn't help but think of the younger sister at home. So he took out another meat pie like a magic trick and gave it to Zheng Dabiao's wife, "Sister, this is for you."

Zheng Dabiao's wife took the steaming meat pie. At this time, she had already heard that the boy was calling out outside before. She thanked Mulan, and then asked the two children to go to the house to call her husband to get up to meet the guests.

"I'll make you laugh at the distinguished guest. My man stayed there to sleep in order to save us stuttering."

In front of outsiders, Zheng Dabiao's wife is still very protective of her own men, not to mention that she is looking for her own men to be a coach, so she can't ruin his reputation.

Mulan smiled and said nothing. She had inquired before she came. Zheng Dabiao was not lazy, but she had nothing to do with diligence, and she was not even considered a good husband or a good man. She just wanted to expose her in front of her wife.

After hearing Ah Niang's orders, the two girls took the cake in their mouths and headed to the inner room next to them. They entered the room and grabbed the quilt and said, "Get up, guests are coming outside. Ah Niang asks you to go out to see the guests!"

"What a distinguished guest, I won't see you!"

Zheng Dabiao, who was sleeping in a daze, turned over, snatched the two children's quilts, and then covered his head and continued to sleep. However, he was already hungry at this time, smelled the meaty smell of the pancake, thrust his nose, then lifted the quilt again, looked at his two daughters who were continuing to lift the quilt and said, "Where did the pancake come from?"

"Gived it to the guest, Ada, hurry up, the guests brought things to the door. I saw it, there was meat inside."

The eldest girl quickly said, "She is already sensible and knows what to say to make Ah Da get up."

Zheng Dabiao was stunned. He didn't expect that a guest would come to the door, but he never thought that someone would come to find him. He came out of the quilt and his stomach rang. At this time, his eldest daughter handed him the cake in her hand, "A Da, you can only meet the guests after you have enough."

"Ada is not hungry, take your sister to the house."

Zheng Dabiao patted his eldest daughter's head, then tightened her belt hard, then shivered from the cold, and forced herself to go to the outer room. Since she came to the door to bring gifts, it should be a good thing. Zheng Dabiao, thinking about this, quickly arrived at the front room, and then he saw several young men with knives.

Zheng Dabiao suddenly stopped. Although he usually looked cowardly and even if he was drunk and had never won a lot of fighting with others, he had indeed seen the situation at the time of the rebellion in Bozhou. These young men with knives were wearing black clothes and looked at the quiet, but Zheng Dabiao could still detect the murderous aura on his body.

For a moment, Zheng Dabiao's thoughts seemed to have returned to more than ten years ago. The young people in front of him were somewhat like the brave men he had seen who had rolled in the pile of dead people.
