Chapter 120 Going to the Border! My Wife Misses Me!

Tuqiao Village.

The east kiln entrance.

All the men in the village were going in and out, moving between the cave and the kiln entrance, carrying red bricks.

Although it had been ventilated for a few days.

But the temperature inside the kiln was still higher than outside.

In addition to the physical work, everyone was sweating.

However, everyone worked very hard.

"Work harder, there's not much left." Uncle Ba, with sweat all over his face, pushed a wooden wheel cart, grinned happily, and shouted.

"Got it."

"Uncle Ba, what did Aunt Ba do last night? Why are you so energetic today?"

...

Everyone responded, and some young people were even more active, openly "teasing" Uncle Ba.

Zhu Di was also pushing a wheelbarrow filled with bricks. He walked out while looking at Xu Huizu who was grinning. He said with a smile: "Can you understand what Uncle Ba and the others are saying? Why are you grinning?"

"It's just a matter between men and women. Who said I don't understand!" Xu Huizu retorted unconvinced.

As he spoke, as if he was afraid that others would hear him, he pushed his wheelbarrow while leaning closer, lowering his voice, and asked with a bit of embarrassment: "Brother-in-law, do you think I should also find a marriage partner..."

Zhu Di was caught off guard by the question and looked at him in astonishment...

Xu Huizu was unaware and complained in a low voice: "My father is careless and may have forgotten about this matter. Is it not good for me to remind him directly?"

"Or, let my sister find a chance to talk to my father and remind him that he has such a big son who should also find a marriage partner."

Poof!

Haha...

Zhu Di burst into laughter...

"Silang, what's wrong?"

"Fourth brother, what's the happy news, tell everyone..."

...

The villagers saw Zhu Di burst into laughter and asked curiously.

"Brother-in-law, stop laughing! Stop laughing!" Xu Huizu blushed, not knowing whether it was because of the heat or the smell, and he lowered his voice to "warn" Zhu Di.

Zhu Di finally calmed down his smile and glanced at the boy with a smile in his eyes.

This is spring!

No wonder.

Living in the village, everyone around is married, even Dongxu and the eighth uncle have started to arrange marriages.

Huizu lived in it, watching and listening, some envy is inevitable.

"This kid complained that my Lord Taishan was careless. It's time for him to arrange a marriage, but he hasn't made any move."

Xu Huizu saw that his inner "little secret" was made public, his face became even redder, and he quickened his pace and pushed the wheelbarrow out.

The jokes of the villagers kept ringing behind him.

After leaving the kiln, Xu Huizu blushed. Seeing Zhu Di following him out, he unloaded bricks while complaining: "Brother-in-law, I also know the secrets between you and my sister. For example, I overheard you keeping a secret account for my sister."

"If you dare to tell the villagers about my embarrassing things again, I will tell yours."

"Let's hurt each other!"

"Stinky boy!" Zhu Di smiled and patted Xu Huizu on the back of his head, and said with a smile: "Okay, as compensation, I will let your sister remind Lord Taishan that it's time to arrange a marriage for you."

"Really?" Xu Huizu was immediately attracted by this matter.

"Really!"

Zhu Di stared with a smile. How could people in this era ignore such an important matter as passing on the family line?

Father-in-law must have considered it.

Just didn't say it.

Hehe...

Xu Huizu smiled and worked harder.

...

Near noon.

Everyone took out all the bricks in the kiln.

They drank water and rested under a tree nearby.

Xu Huizu held the brick horizontally with one hand, and with the other hand, he put all his strength on the brick.

The moment of contact, the corner of his lips twitched with pain, but he tried to endure it and commented: "You know what, this brick is quite solid."

Eighth uncle and others tried their best to hold back their laughter.

A young man urged: "Fourth brother, try it."

"Yes! Brother-in-law, try it." Xu Huizu also became curious and hurriedly handed the brick to Zhu Di.

Zhu Di was very clear about his own strength.

Seeing that everyone was making a fuss.

Thinking that it would be good to make everyone happy and relieve fatigue, he smiled and said: "One brick is too easy, you go and hold seven or eight bricks and stack them up in the air."

"Da Lang, I'll help you!"

"I'll help too."

...

Several young people stood up to help and were ready soon.

Zhu Di glanced at Xu Huizu and others.

These guys stacked ten bricks!

He didn't say anything, rolled up his sleeves and walked over, and Uncle Ba and the others all stood up.

Zhu Di looked at the young men who were making things more difficult for him, and said with a smile: "Watch out..."

Before he finished speaking, he chopped down with his knife.

Crack!

Ten bricks shattered and fell to the ground with a bang.

Xu Huizu and the other young men were shocked and opened their mouths wide.

Pa Pa Pa...

The applause was then heard.

"Mr. Xu, Mr. Zhu has this trick?" Not far away, Zhou Lang, who was walking towards this side with a captain, looked at Xu Miaoyun, who was leading the way, in surprise.

Xu Miaoyun was in a bad mood because of the content of the transfer order, but after seeing Zhu Di split the bricks just now.

Hearing Zhou Lang's question, a smile appeared on the corner of his lips, and he said: "He has great strength."

The captain was also surprised, but the captain didn't know that Zhu Silang was Yan Wang Zhu Di, and said: "With such great strength, do you want to join the army? I want it!"

Zhou Lang glanced at the captain.

Although he didn't dare to offend him.

But he also laughed in his heart.

Mr. Zhu is the same captain as you?

The prince can’t even invite you!

Xu Miaoyun smiled and declined politely: "He doesn't have any big ambitions."

"Shiro."

Hearing the shouting, Zhu Di and others who were busy turned their heads.

Zhu Di couldn't help but frown slightly when he saw the soldiers and generals wearing imperial uniforms.

General Manager came to Zhu Di, took out a document, unfolded it and said loudly: "All adult men under the age of fifty-five in Tuqiao Village are ordered to go to Jinling City within ten days after receiving the edict from the Governor's Office."

"Escort a batch of ordnance and grain transported northward!"

"Zhu Silang, the head of Tuqiao Village, take the order!"

The villagers looked at each other in astonishment.

Zhu Di took the transfer order and saw that it was to go outside the customs. He was slightly stunned, raised his head and asked: "Going outside the customs? Are you sure this transfer order is correct?"

It is normal for grain to be transported from the south to the north.

The military pressure in the north is great, and a large number of troops are concentrated in the north. People are eating horses and chewing horses. If we rely solely on supplies from the north, the people will not survive.

But he also knew something about corvees transporting grain.

Under normal circumstances, they would only need to transport grain, grass and ordnance to Peiping at most.

After being received by Peiping, corvees were recruited in the north and were responsible for transporting them outside the customs.

But this order was clearly written, telling them to transport ordnance, food and grass directly to the outside of the customs!

The general's face suddenly turned cold, he glared, and said sternly: "There is no way you can make a mistake! The transfer order is stamped with the official seal of the Governor's Office. The order is issued. Even if there is a mistake, you must execute it!"

Zhu Di knew it and couldn't figure it out even if he asked. He cupped his fists and said, "I will obey your order and arrive at Jinling on time."

After leaving.

Uncle Eighth and others spoke one after another.

"Shiro, where are you going to send food, grass and weapons this time?"

"Fourth brother, the year before last, before you and fourth sister-in-law moved here, we went to Shandong to send food, grass and weapons to prepare Japanese soldiers in Shandong."

"Are you going to Shandong again this time?"

…

Zhu Di looked at the villagers and didn't know what to say.

The transfer order this time was so strange. It was most likely because of him.

He brought trouble to everyone.

But I can't say it.

He forced a smile and said: "This time let us send a batch of ordnance, food and grass outside Yuguan."

"Yuguan?"

"Where is Yuguan?"

…

After Zhu Di explained the geographical location of Yuguan to the villagers, he asked the villagers to go back and prepare.

…

cabin.

After dinner, he sent Xu Huizu away.

The two began to discuss some of the things hidden behind this transfer order.

"Is it because of the tax bidding, rural village communities, some people in the court can't tolerate you..." Ever since he knew the content of the transfer order, Xu Miaoyun suspected that someone was going to target Zhu Di.

The unreasonableness of the transfer order is too obvious!

"Don't worry." Seeing Xu Miaoyun's worried face, Zhu Di quickly smiled and comforted him, "First of all, you know my martial arts."

"Secondly, I don't think so."

"It has the official seal of the Governor's Office on it. Although Lord Taishan doesn't care about things, he is also the Governor of the Left. If someone really wants to harm me, there is no way he will not intervene."

Zhu Di didn't know it yet, but Li Wenzhong returned to the court and served as the right governor.

If you knew, you wouldn't even think about it.

The worry on Xu Miaoyun's face softened a little.

Zhu Di stretched out his hand, scratched Xu Miaoyun's nose with his fingers, and said with a smile: "There is a high probability that the old man is uncomfortable because he sees me living a peaceful life for a few days and is torturing me."

"Only in this case will Master Taishan remain silent on this matter."

"So, don't worry. The old man from Wangji Drug Store said that a good mood will lead to a good body. You are at a critical moment now."

"If you weren't pregnant now, I wouldn't worry about it, otherwise I'd really like to take a look outside the customs."

…

Zhu Di continued to explain, saying that he liked the matter.

There was a little resentment in my heart.

Even if the old man wants to go through trouble.

Can't you change the time?

Does it have to be during this critical period of Miaoyun's pregnancy?

Just forget about it.

Why are you tossing Miaoyun and the child in Miaoyun's belly?

This child, after all, is his granddaughter!

Do you still want to call the little cotton-padded jacket grandpa from now on?

At this moment, Zhu Di was completely unaware that Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to make him understand: as a farmer, no matter good or bad, in the face of the rules, you can only go with the flow and rush forward. If you are unhappy or dissatisfied, you have to grit your teeth and endure it!

If you don't want this.

Then be obedient, bow your head, and accept your parents' arrangements!

Sure enough, when Xu Miaoyun heard Zhu Di say that she liked to go out for a walk, she immediately smiled and leaned sideways on Zhu Di's shoulder, "Don't worry about me, dad will definitely let Miaoyin accompany me."

"I'm fine, but you must protect yourself."

"Although the imperial court has established a firm foothold outside the customs and continues to encroach and expand outside the customs every year, I heard my father say that the situation outside the customs is different from that inside the customs."

"There are many ethnic groups living outside the pass, and the folk customs are fierce. After the collapse of the Yuan Dynasty, many of the original Yuan Dynasty troops turned into bandits and gathered in the mountains and forests."

"Even in the territory where the imperial court has stabilized, it is still very rampant..."

…

Since we have to go to Jinling to gather, we have to leave early.

Zhu Di and the villagers prepared for five days, and everyone took the time to settle down at home.

Early morning on the sixth day.

"At the end of the year, we are guests from far away, and we still use troops on the border..."

Zhu Di and Xu Miaoyun were awakened by the crisp children's voice.

The two looked at each other and smiled. Zhu Di sighed with a smile: "These naughty kids..."

This was a farewell for him, their father and brother.

When the children's voice faded away, Zhu Di turned around and asked with a smile: "What do you want to eat today?"

"Don't move!"

Zhu Di was about to get up and prepare breakfast, but Xu Miaoyun suddenly hugged him and didn't let him move.

"What do you want to do?" Zhu Di smiled as he looked at his wife who was hugging him tightly in his arms, and asked with a smile...
