Standing at the door of Zhang Meng's house, Taohua heard the movement and seemed to have a vague sound. Then she raised her hand and knocked on the door. However, as soon as her hand was placed on the door panel, the door opened slightly before she could use force.

Taohua was about to speak, but she looked up inadvertently, but found several people standing in the yard.

Zhang Dong faced four men in brocade clothes, and Zhang Meng was blocked by him.

The four men in black clothes were tall and comparable to Zhang Dong. They looked different from ordinary people at first sight. They must be the son of the family, and they took a step back with a conditioned reflex.

"Brother Zhang, go back with us." One of the men in black said in a deep voice.

"What are you doing when you go back?" Zhang Dong smiled bitterly, "She is here, I won't go anywhere."

"But Miss, she is dead, why bother-" The man in black was interrupted by Zhang Dong before he finished speaking, "Shut up! Li Feng! I have told you that I don't want any kind of glory and wealth, and I won't go to the capital, and you can't take her away. Her wish is to stay here, as for Meng'er."

Zhang Dong hesitated for a moment and said, "He has grown up, so he will naturally have his own ideas wherever he wants to go, and I will not make a decision for him."

"Dad, what's going on?" Zhang Meng said.

"Young Master, we are from General Weiyuan's mansion. This time we came to take you back to recognize your ancestors, and the lady's... we also want to take you back."

"I said that Ah You won't leave. She told me that she likes this place." Zhang Dong said, with a firm tone.

"Brother Zhang, why bother you? The General's Mansion has never given up looking for you for so many years. Now I have finally found it. Do you think you can stop others?" The human named Li Feng said, with persuasion and threatening in his tone.

"Ha, Li Feng, you have grown up." Zhang Dong looked at his former subordinate and felt like he was a different life.

"Brother Zhang, we are also on orders. Please don't make things difficult for us anymore." Li Feng said.

Zhang Dong sighed and sat down slowly, "I know, but please give me some time."

"But you said so seven days ago, today..." another person said.

"Okay!" Li Feng raised his hand to stop the man's words, stared at Zhang Dong and said, "Then I will give Brother Zhang another three days to consider. If you don't tell me where the lady is buried, don't blame me for being merciless."

Zhang Dong was silent.

Li Feng waved his hand and took a few people away.

Seeing this, Taohua quickly took a few steps back, then pretended to be the first to arrive, and wanted to raise her hand to knock on the door, but when she saw a few people coming out, she looked surprised.

Li Feng glanced at Taohua and saw that it was a country girl. The look of defense on his face faded a little. The scabbard on his waist quietly fell back. He took the people away without saying anything.

Taohua breathed out and patted her beating heart again. She was really shocked by the momentum of several people just now. She felt a sense of aura coming like a wind, sword, frost, and sword. Maybe this is what the book often calls murderous aura.

"Why are you here?" Zhang Meng walked out when he heard the movement.

"Just just passed by, so come and take a look." Taohua said.

"Is it a peach blossom?" Zhang Dong's voice came.

"Oh, Uncle Zhang." Taohua responded with some guilt.

Zhang Meng hesitated for a moment, then gave up his position, and Taohua walked in with the flow.

Zhang Dong was sitting in the yard with a calm face. When he saw Taohua coming in, he pulled the corner of his mouth slightly and waved his hand to let Taohua sit down.

"Uncle Zhang," Taohua hesitated for a moment. Judging from the situation, Zhang Dong seemed to have known that Taohua was standing outside the door and "eavesdropping".

Zhang Dong glanced at Zhang Meng, and Zhang Meng was still standing expressionless. Zhang Dong sighed, and the atmosphere was a little silent for a moment.

Peach blossoms are the ones who dislike this atmosphere the most, which makes people feel panicked and embarrassed, so they coughed lightly and said, "Uncle Zhang, if nothing happens, I will go back first."

Taohua said and stood up.

"No hurry." Zhang Dong spoke, as if he was thinking and recalling, and finally he seemed to have made some decision. Suddenly, he felt relieved. Zhang Dong looked up at Taohua, waved her to sit down again, and said in a gentle voice: "Meng'er has no friends. You and Jingsheng are the best friends he has played with. He also listens to your words the most. Don't look at him with a cold appearance and actually he is not cold-hearted. Sometimes he may not speak very well, but his heart is still good."

Taohua didn't know why Zhang Dong suddenly told her this. She looked at him with some confusion, then looked up at Zhang Meng, and looked at Zhang Dong with some confusion when she saw him.

Zhang Dong continued: "Meng'er will be more troublesome to you friends in the future."

"What did Uncle Zhang say?" Taohua said, "Brother Meng is very good, but we are taken care of by him."

Zhang Dong smiled, looked up at Zhang Meng, pulled him to his side, and said, "Didn't you always want to know about your mother?"

Zhang Meng's eyes widened for a moment, "My mother?"

"I have been holding some words in my heart for a long time, so it's good to say them." Zhang Dong closed his eyes, as if he was trapped in some kind of memory. It took him a long time to open his eyes, and there was a little mist in his eyes. Listening to his gentle statement, Taohua felt her heart tremble slightly.

Zhang Dong was originally a beggar. He didn't know who his parents were when he was young, and he didn't know who his surname was. Others called him by beggars. At the age of six, he was beaten by the beggar's head because he didn't ask for food. Finally, he lay dying on the side of the road. When Zhang Wanyou, a lady from the General's Mansion, happened to meet him with her parents for fun, so she begged her parents to take her back for treatment. At that time, Zhang Wanyou was nine years old.

The general and the general's wife had a son. Zhang Wanyou was conceived by the general's wife when she was nearly forty years old. She was very favored at the time of birth. When the third prince was born, the emperor was very happy. In addition, brothers from different surnames had already ended up between their parents, so they could make a marriage contract with him.

When Zhang Dong entered the General's Mansion, he naturally stayed and changed his name to Zhang Dong, meaning to be a talented person. Zhang Dong went through hardships and knew that survival in the world was not easy, so he cherished this hard-won opportunity. Although he was still young, the key was to be honest and sensible. He rushed to do all the dirty and tiring work. The whole group of the women and girls in charge felt sorry for him and treated him very well. Therefore, Zhang Dong cherished this stable life more and more.

Most of the generals' mansions are military generals. Every day, the commander led his family generals to practice martial arts and swords. Zhang Dong often went to watch them. Over time, he could punch a few punches like a long time. The consul saw that he was a good seedling and hardworking, so he took him in and allowed him to follow and practice every day.

Days passed day by day, and once the general took his family out to hunt, Zhang Dong followed him. On the way, he encountered a bad tiger blocking the road. Zhang Dong stood at the end of the team, raised an arrow, and hit the tiger's head. The general was happy when he saw it, and the eldest son Zhang Ji also praised him very much. Since then, Zhang Dong became the eldest son Zhang Ji. At that time, Zhang Dong was twelve years old.

It has many conveniences to be a young master, such as the inner house that could only take a distance before, and with the blessing of the young master's identity, you can enter and exit.

Zhang Ji loves his sister very much. Every time he returns from going out, he always brings some small gifts to his sister. Sometimes he eats and sometimes is a novel thing, and he never fails.

"Brother, would you please take me out on the street?" Zhang Wanyou pulled her brother's sleeve and acted coquettishly, "Brother is most in love with Youyou, please take me there."

"How can this work?" Zhang Ji was helpless, "You are all a big girl, so naturally you can't go out at will as you were when you were a child. Your parents are also doing your own good."

"Hmph, brother hates you, Youyou doesn't like you anymore." Zhang Wanyou curled her lips.

Zhang Ji chuckled, shaved his sister's nose, and saw that her mouth was pouting higher and she couldn't help laughing louder.

At this time, Zhang Dong stood silently in the corner, and occasionally raised his eyes and just glanced down, never breaking the rules.

"Meng'er, do you know?" Zhang Dong said softly: "Your mother was cute and laughed at that time. She smiled very well, with curved eyes and bright voices, making people want to bring all the best things in the world to her, so she was looking forward to her saying, saying...I like it."

The peach blossoms are silent. Zhang Wanyou, born under the utmost love and expectation, must have grown up with honey. I am afraid that even tears are sweet.

Zhang Ji was the Imperial Minister at the time. He was busy with official duties. Sometimes he couldn't come from time to time and asked Zhang Dong to bring the gifts. Every time Zhang Dong put down the gifts and left, never stopping. When he met Zhang Wanyou practicing piano and painting, he waited silently. When the sound of the piano disappeared, he respectfully handed the gifts.

Zhang Wanyou was trapped in the boudoir and could not go out. She could only guess the outside world by relying on books, picture albums or gifts from her brother. Therefore, every time her brother came, she was the most happy moment for her. She always pestered her brother to ask questions. Zhang Ji could sit down and talk to her in detail when she was busy with official duties, but she could not deal with it. So she pointed at Zhang Dong and said, "Zhang Dong has always been with me. He knew exactly where I went, and he could ask him."

After Zhang Ji said that, he ran away in the desert. He left Zhang Dong and Zhang Wanyou with big eyes staring. When Zhang Wanyou saw his brother running away, he could only stomp his feet helplessly, and then asked Zhang Dong.

Zhang Dong always replied without knowing it, and asked anxiously and was silent. Zhang Wanyou saw that he was young but always looked mature and steadfast, so she deliberately teased him, "If you don't know if you reply again, I will tell my brother that you bullied me."

Zhang Dong was stunned and panicked at the moment. Zhang Wanyou laughed and said it was fun. When she met her brother again, she said in front of her that Zhang Dong was a lump of wood or half a cicada.

Zhang Ji asked her what half a cicada was.

"Chili all say zhili, zhili, he," Zhang Wanyou said: "You can only say ignorance. Of course, it is half a cicada."

"No, Zhang Dong is talented, erudite, knowledgeable, and even I feel sorry for being a cicada. What is it? I want me to say that he is omniscient and omniscient." Zhang Ji said.

"Huh?" Zhang Wanyou was surprised now, but she stopped asking questions. But when Zhang Dong came to send a gift on his brother's behalf next time, he caught him and asked, "Today I won't ask you the wonderfulness of the gift. I just heard you tell me where I went with my brother this time, what are the scenery I saw, and what wonderful things are there?"

Before Zhang Dong could return, Zhang Wanyou said proudly: "If you don't know, I will ask someone to lock you in the backyard and not let you go back. Let's see how you explain to my brother."

As the eldest son, he was intimate, who would dare to intercept him if he wanted to leave the mansion? Zhang Dong was about to refuse, but when he raised his eyes, he saw Zhang Wanyou looking at him with anticipation. This was the first time he had seen her at such a close distance, as if he suddenly fell into a deep pool. All the previous persistences were instantly defeated in these eyes. If he refused, he was stuck in his throat and could no longer vomit.

Zhang Wanyou looked hesitant and immediately guessed a few points. Without saying a word, she pulled him down and asked the maid to come and eat, and personally served tea, water and snacks to Zhang Dong. She stared at him in a panic. Zhang Dong stood attentively and refused to sit down again.

After considering the words, Zhang Dong then said it. Although the words are simple, the beauty lies in the use of words. Zhang Wanyou was fascinated by the listening experience and giggled from time to time.

Holding a piece of snack in his hand, Zhang Dong came out of the inner courtyard, returned to his room, closed the door, and sat upright on the chair. Then he picked out the snack that was already sweaty in his palm, and almost piously raised it to his eyes. After watching for a while, he then put it into his mouth. His chest was stirring like a drum.

So every time Zhang Dong went there, Zhang Wanyou would pester him to tell stories, and then take out all kinds of snacks to coax him.

"You don't eat every time, don't you like these?" Zhang Wanyou said, "If you don't like them, I'll ask someone to find something else. Tell me what kind of thing you like?"

"What?" Zhang Dong didn't seem to hear clearly.

"Tell me what kind of thing do you like?" Zhang Wanyou said: "I feel very sad when you don't eat it every time."

"I like it...everything is good." As long as it is given by you, I like it.

"You are really a person, you're a lie." Zhang Wanyou curled her lips, "We are all so familiar with you. Are you still interested in me? Then, if you don't say anything, I'll turn around and ask my brother."

"Don't." Zhang Dong said, "You are a girl's house, so you can't ask other men's preferences at will."

"Ah?" Zhang Wanyou was stunned when she heard this, then laughed and pointed at Zhang Dong and said, "What's your name? Is it better to be three years younger than me? Is it still a child, it's almost the same as my younger brother."

"I am not a child anymore." Zhang Dong blushed for some reason, "I am already fourteen years old."

"Okay, okay, you are not a child, you are an adult! You are an adult." Zhang Wanyouqiang held his smile and patted Zhang Dong's head and said.

Zhang Dong suddenly felt depressed, but he had no choice. He was indeed three years younger than her.

"I'm taller than you!" Zhang Dong seemed to have finally found some way to prove it, and stood next to Zhang Wanyou.

The thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy is indeed outstanding. When Zhang Wanyou looked up, she could only see the green stubble on the boy's chin.

"Oh, it's really tall." Zhang Wanyou was surprised, stretched out her white little hand and gestured, accidentally touching the boy's cheek. Zhang Dong's face immediately became hot as if it was burning.

Zhang Dong turned around and left without saying a word, letting Zhang Wanyou shout from behind without looking back.

Since then, Zhang Dong rarely goes to the backyard, and he will find someone to send the gifts he wants to send. Every time he sees Zhang Wanyou in the mansion, he will bypass it from afar.

Three months passed in a flash. Zhang Dong was practicing martial arts in the martial arts field. Suddenly he heard someone calling him. When he turned around, he saw Zhang Wanyou carrying the food box and walking over.

Zhang Dong's face changed, he put away his knives and turned to leave.

Zhang Wanyou stepped forward and reached out to stop him.

"Why are you so popular?" Zhang Wanyou said: "After so long, you are still angry?"

"No." Zhang Dong said.

"Hmph, you are lying," Zhang Wanyou said, "If you are not angry, why should you keep hiding from me?"

Zhang Dong was speechless.

"Okay, okay, can't I apologize to you?" Zhang Wanyou said softly: "I asked someone to ask about the boys most feared that they said they are not adults. If I was wrong, don't be angry! Zhang Dong, our family, is a big man! Is it good to be a big man?"
