Zhu Cun suddenly stopped and asked suspiciously, "What do you mean?" ”

"Second brother, do you remember that we Aya told us a story about Emperor Guangwu marrying a wife before?"

Zhu Cun shook his head, what he hated most when he was a child was reading and reading, "Emperor Guangwu marries a wife?" I don't remember. Third child, why are you mentioning this? ”

"Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty was the founding emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty and was called Liu Xiu. When he was young, he was just a royal family that had long since disappeared, and once he passed by Xinye, he happened to see a beautiful local woman, Yin Lihua, and fell in love with it, and never forgot it. Later, he went to Chang'an, the capital to study, and saw the luxurious and beautiful pomp and circumstance when Zhi Jinwu went out on patrol, so he made an oath: Shi Eun should be the Jin Wu, and marrying a wife should be Yin Lihua! In order to achieve the desire in his heart, Guangwu later struggled, and he did not marry for ten years, until he was twenty-eight years old, he really got his wish, and finally married Yin Lihua, and achieved a great cause! Second brother, look at this stabbing girl, I'm afraid that Yin Lihua back then was nothing more than that, second brother, do you think I can marry Zhang Xiaoniang? ”

The more Zhu Asan spoke, the more excited he became, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed. Zhu Cun listened to it for a long time, and finally understood what this brother said, he actually wanted to marry the daughter of the Song Prefecture Thorn History. I couldn't help but shake my head loudly and smiled bitterly, "Third brother, you are really a toad who wants to eat swan meat, and you can't do it." ”

Zhu Asan had already fallen into his own fantasies, and he said loudly: "Second brother, don't you hear the saying that the times create heroes, and think about Liu Xiu." Although it was said to be a royal nobleman back then. But in fact, because of that, what kind of grace order. By the time he reached his generation, he had already fallen into the middle of the family, had no size officials, and relied on his own farming to make a living. If it weren't for Wang Mang's usurpation of the throne and the chaos in the world, how could Liu Xiu ascend to heaven and finally marry Yin Lihua and become the emperor? ”

But these words were in Zhu Cun's ears. It's just that the brother lost his mind and went crazy for a while, and he didn't argue with him at the moment. The two went back to the inn, and it was night when Zhu Asan turned left and right, tossing and turning, unable to sleep, and completely lovesick. I barely fell asleep until dawn, but I immediately dreamed of Zhang Xiaoniang falling asleep. The little lady smiled back at him, he was just about to step forward to hug her, but he was suddenly woken up, and when he opened his eyes, it was the second brother Zhu Cun.

"It's getting late. We have to hurry early, but we can't miss Aya's festival. ”

The brothers returned along the way. A few days later, I went to my hometown in the ditch of Dangshan Mountain, and I made a sacrifice and put on a rich offering, and the villagers near and far saw that Zhu Wujing's two sons had become adults, and they were dressed uprightly when they came back this time, and they couldn't help but sigh.

After a few more days, the brothers finally returned to Liujiazhuang, and since Songzhou, Zhu Asan has been silent, often alone. When they were not there, the Wang family had already asked a matchmaker to book a family for Zhu Yu and Zhu Cun brothers, both of whom were good women from ordinary people, and they could be regarded as a good match. The two families were in a hurry to get things done, and as soon as Zhu Cun and the two came back, the marriage was done one after another.

Zhu Asan's recent changes, the Wang family also sees it. I thought that the third child was anxious when he saw the eldest and second child getting married. I secretly asked the matchmaker to inquire about the right girl, and within a few days. Ma matchmaker went back and forth, saying that there was a Zhuang family in Wangjiazhuang thirty miles away, and his family had five daughters, and now life was not good, and their eldest daughter was fourteen, so she wanted to marry out. After hearing about Zhu Asan of Liujiazhuang, he knew that this young man was famous far and wide, brave, and a good hunter. Therefore, I don't want any bride price, and I am willing to marry my daughter directly.

The Wang family was naturally happy when they heard this, and secretly went to see the daughter of the Wang family, who looked good and had a slender figure. I inquired about it and said that it had already been red. Wang is very satisfied, he has been popular, that is, he can give birth. Three sons, he naturally hopes that they can have children as soon as possible. At the moment, the second child's remaining five yuan from the last Songzhou sale of skins was used as a dowry and made a decision.

Within a few days, the marriage had already been opened. Zhu Asan didn't know about it until this time, and he refused to agree, and Wang didn't say the reason when he asked him. After the last, Zhu Cun suddenly understood that it must be because of the daughter of the Song envoy. Originally, he thought that after a while, his brother would pass this delusional hysteria, but now that he is still obsessed with this, he can't help but be very angry, and he grabbed Zhu Asan and beat him, and then put down a sentence, I don't want my mother to die, so you will honestly marry the little lady of the Wang family.

On the wedding day, Zhu Asan still put on a red robe, worshiped with the girl of the Wang family who was dressed in green, and entered the cave room. But when he hugged the somewhat thin girl of the Wang family, he was thinking about the little lady of the Zhang family.

After getting married, Zhu Asan often sighed and always regretted marrying the daughter of the Wang family. These days, when he was out hunting, he heard a lot of rumors, first the rebellious grass army in Caozhou shouted the name of Tianbu Average to attack the city and plunder the land, and then even joined forces with Wang Jingwu of Qingzhou, and defeated Xue Chong of the imperial court's Tianping Jiedu, and then defeated the Taining Jiedu envoy Li Department. After making enough trouble with the Tianping Army, it entered the territory of the Taining Army, and now it has reached the territory of the Xuanwu Army, and even the soldiers and horses once arrived in the Songzhou area.

Zhu Asan is living a very tasteless life now, and he faces the newlywed wife who is submissive to him every day, but he has no passion. Since Song Zhou came back, his vision has widened and his heart has become more ambitious, and he is no longer willing to stay in the small Liujiazhuang for the rest of his life.

"In troubled times, if you want to get ahead, you must either join the army or be a thief. I have long heard that Wang Xianzhi and Huang Chao rebelled, rampant all over the world, and saw that the imperial court was not protected. If we go to our martial arts, we will not worry about not having a bright future. If you really want to take over the world, then you and I will be a founding hero, a general. Even if you can't, it's not difficult to get some money, silk, gold and silver, and rob him of three or five beautiful girls, wouldn't it be better than us hunting in the mountains and wilderness, burying this ability? ”

When he was selling his prey in Xiao County that day, when he was drinking in a humble tavern with a few familiar hunters, the words of one of the old brothers kept echoing in Zhu Wen's heart. He was already ambitious, but after listening to these blood-boiling words, he couldn't calm down even more.

remembered that he was twenty-one years old, but there was no tile in the world that belonged to him. The land of no place belongs to him. Now I have a wife. When he has another child in the future, will he be a tenant of the Liu family for the rest of his life, and his children and grandchildren will also live like this?

He was unwilling, if it was really as the hunter said, it would not be in vain to come to the world.

When it was dark, Zhu Asan pulled the second brother to his hut, which was originally a house where the three brothers lived, but now the three brothers have become relatives. Liu Chong arranged a room for them. As soon as he entered the house, Zhu Asan poured a bowl of turbid wine for the second brother.

The brothers chatted some gossip while drinking, and slowly, Zhu Asan brought the words to the things planned in his heart.

Zhu Cun was already half drunk, and when he listened to his brother's description, he was also a little moved.

"Second brother, now the grass army has attacked Songzhou, but it's only two hundred miles."

"You want to go to the Grass Army?" Zhu Cun asked.

Zhu Asan shook his head: "No, those are just thieves, I think." Or is the official army more reliable, I want to go to Songzhou to join the army. Officers and troops who voted for Song Prefecture. ”

As soon as he heard this, Zhu Cun immediately understood, this brother still hasn't forgotten the little lady of the Zhang family. He thought about it carefully, last time they went to Songzhou, the city in Songzhou was tall, there were more than 100,000 people in the city, such a large city, it was estimated that a group of thieves would be difficult to capture.

After some discussion, the brothers couldn't help but be a little excited, and immediately made up their minds with the intention of drinking, and went directly to their mother and eldest brother.

"Our two brothers are unwilling to die at home, and want to go out to find a little family business, and everything in the family will be taken care of by the eldest brother, and when we make money, we will come back immediately. Please rest assured that A-Niang and eldest brother. ”

Mother Wang was a little worried, Wang couldn't help crying, the eldest Zhu Yu is a person who keeps to himself, and marrying a daughter-in-law is already quite satisfied. At the moment, he said: "A-Niang, the little sister and the younger siblings will be taken care of by me, since the second brother and the third brother are interested in going out to seek a family business, then don't worry." I'll take care of my home, but now it's a mess outside, you have to take care of yourself, and if you can't, come back immediately. ”

The two went to say goodbye to Liu Chong again, and after Liu Chong's persuasion failed, they had to go. When it was over, he asked his wife to take two pieces of money for the two of them.

Early the next morning, the brothers went on the road with their burdens on their backs and ran all the way to Songzhou.

A few days later, the brothers arrived at the foot of Songzhou, which was already a continuous camp with tents everywhere. The brothers were a little dumbfounded, turned left and right, and all the way to a recruiting flag. Zhu Asan also knew some words, and when he saw the word recruitment on it, he immediately knew that this was the place where everyone usually said recruitment. At the moment, he excitedly pulled Zhu Cun forward to sign up.

"This military master, our brother has come to sign up for the army."

"What's your name, where you're from, how old are you?"

"My name is Zhu Cun, a native of Xiao County, Xuzhou, and my hometown is Dangshan, Songzhou, and I am twenty-five this year."

"My name is Zhu Wen, a native of Xiao County, Xuzhou, and my hometown is also Dangshan, Songzhou, this year's twenty-one, Zhu Cun is my second brother. We are hunters, and we can shoot a good arrow, the eagle flying in the world, the leopard running on the ground, and the grass carp swimming in the water. Zhu Asan saw that the recruiter was dressed in iron armor and his face was majestic, so he tried his best to introduce himself.

When the registered officer heard this, he became a little interested, "There is a bow there, and you can shoot that arrow stack sixty paces away, and if it is six out of ten, it will be considered qualified." ”

Zhu Cun picked up the bow and shot ten arrows from a decent sixty paces away, and all ten arrows hit the center of the arrow stack.

The officer nodded, a smile on his face even bigger.

When it was Zhu Asan's turn, he tried the bow first, and found that this bow was not strong, so he took the initiative to change to a one-stone longbow. Then he took about forty steps back, and when he stood a hundred paces away, he opened his bow and shot ten arrows in succession, and the arrows hit the red heart.

"Yes, very good. Zhu Cun Zhu Wen, from now on, the two of you are the front chamber bow battalion foot archers of the auxiliary army of the Zhenguo Army, in view of your excellent archery skills, this official makes an exception to award you the rank of reserve private. Boy, as soon as he entered the barracks, he jumped three levels directly and became a second-class soldier, even if it was a reserve title, it was very rare. Now, take these two military cards and go to the left, and someone will take you to the Auxiliary Army's Front Bow Camp to report. ”

The three Zhu brothers took over the military card, and it was only at this time that they suddenly discovered a problem, they actually joined the Zhenguo Army, not the Songzhou State Army. The two brothers looked at each other for a long time, and did not dare to turn back to the dignified officer, staring at the military card for a long time, and then walked to the left with heavy steps.
