Early the next morning, after casually dealing with some rice porridge, Zhang Zhou and his son prepared to go on an expedition.
Jiang Pingyu put on his son's clothes and said with concern, "Husband, where are we going?"
Zhang Zhou said, "Go and find some rags for my son's class. Find another piece of hemp rope, pour out the tung oil and put it in a gourd. Give me two fire folds."
""
Jiang Pingyu had no idea what her husband was up to.
This is to take my son to his husband for enlightenment
The family is barely able to eat, survival is the first priority, and educating the son can be put aside later.
But after what happened yesterday, Zhang Zhou's status in the family suddenly improved. Jiang Pingyu prepared what her husband needed without asking any questions and sent the father and son off.
"Close the door tightly. If someone comes to break in again, call the neighbors loudly."
"Okay, husband."
The father and son left the street.
Zhang Zhou was murderous.
Zhang Jun on the side was yawning, obviously the little guy hadn't had enough sleep.
"Dad, where are we going?"
"Going to your uncle's house to collect debt, but I don't remember where your uncle's house is specifically, so I let you lead the way."
Only then did Zhang Zhou tell his son his true purpose.
Zhang Jun is already six years old, and with his shrewd mind, he is more or less sensible. He tilted his head and asked, "Does the uncle's family owe us money?"
"The debt of gratitude must be repaid. For life."
Zhang Zhou could not explain it to his son in detail.
He randomly found a corner, took the rope and rubbed it against his neck.
"Dad is bleeding, what are you doing?" Zhang Jun was stunned.
Yesterday, my father was so brave that he fought off the invading enemies. Why did he act like a lunatic and mutilate himself on the roadside today?
"You know nothing." Zhang Zhou scolded.
Zhang Jundao, "Mom said you can't curse, but dad you also said you should educate me well."
Zhang Zhouyi was stunned, as if he should change his temper.
But he was sent to the Ming Dynasty for no reason, and he had a violent temper in his heart, so his speech was naturally not so polite.
"Stop talking nonsense. Where is your uncle's house? Lead me the way. I will sort out my words on the way. I will definitely catch your uncle off guard."
Zhang Jun was shocked. Ning Ningran led the way. It was obvious that he had walked this way to borrow money more than once.
The Zhang family mansion.
Zhang Zhouguang felt very familiar just by looking at the door lintel. This was obviously the place where he grew up. But unfortunately, when the family was separated, this mansion was stolen by his brother, and he was allocated a separate courtyard. .
He also suffered a big loss when dividing the fields.
Thinking about it in mind, even if South American silver had not flowed into China during the Hongzhi period, such a big house in Nanjing would be worth at least two thousand taels of silver.
Loss
Big loss.
"Go up and knock on the door, and I'll prepare." Zhang Zhou ordered his son.
Zhang Jundao, "Dad, you didn't run away by yourself while I was knocking on the door."
Zhang Zhou was so angry that he bounced the boy's head "You If I want to run away, why would I bring you here?"
"Oh."
Zhang Jun then reluctantly walked towards the door.
But before he could reach the door, the door opened, and a group of people came out from inside, all holding something in their hands.
When Zhang Jun saw this posture, he quickly ran back behind his father.
"Second Master, why are you here again? I told you that this is not the place where you come from. You and my master have separated from each other. From now on, your affairs have nothing to do with us."
This group of servants are very experienced in dealing with Zhang Zhou.
But this time, Zhang Zhou is not Brother Chu.
He rolled a rag with a stick, poured tung oil on it, put a little fire on it, and with a breath, the fire started, thus forming a simple torch.
"Ah"
The onlookers were dumbfounded for a moment, what kind of idea is this?
"Don't come over. If anyone comes over, I will click on myself, and then follow He will die together"
""
""
"Get out of the way, I want to go in to see my brother, I will kill anyone who stops me"
This servant has never seen his second master be so aggressive. Don't tell me, this trick is quite effective.
No one cares whether Zhang Zhou dies or not, but who is willing to come up and die with Zhang Zhou
So, Zhang Zhou and his son passed the gate of the Zhang family mansion. , enter the yard.
"Boy, what are you doing? Put down the fire quickly"
As soon as Zhang Zhou entered the yard, he saw a rich-looking man coming out from the opposite side. It was his brother Zhang Ye , Zhang Ye also took Zhang Ping, Zhang Zhou's eldest nephew, behind him.
Zhang Zhou would naturally not give in so easily. If he lost the torch, he would probably be thrown out by a group of servants.
The torch is his magic weapon.
"Brother, I never thought that we brothers should talk in this way. It's not decent to talk like this. Why don't we find a secluded place and let's talk"
< p>Zhang Ye said, "Your sister-in-law has gone out to collect the accounts. Let's wait until she comes back."Zhang Zhou said angrily, "Whether you are the one who calls the shots in the Zhang family, or is it your sister-in-law who decides whether you are a man or not? Do you think I am?" Are you here to borrow money from you? If you don’t talk to me, then I’ll light up all the haystacks at the door. At worst, I won’t have the Zhang family house anymore, or I’ll have to talk to you again.”
“No, no, no, no”
Zhang Ye quickly stopped his brother's actions.
Then Zhang Ye shouted to Zhang Ping, "Look, give your second uncle a place to be careful. Things are dry in autumn and winter."
A group of people got out of the way.
Zhang Zhou held a torch and entered a place he was familiar with, the main hall of the Zhang family.
"Second brother, what are you going to do? Didn't we agree when we separated that your house belongs to your family and mine belongs to mine? From now on, we have nothing to do with each other. Now that you have lost all your family property, you want to divide my share."< /p>
In the room, Zhang Ye acted like an elder brother and wanted to teach his younger brother a lesson.
Zhang Zhou waved the torch and said, "Brother, it's wrong for you to speak like this. When the family was separated, you got a lot more property. Let's just talk about this house."
Zhang Ye He said, "What's wrong with this house? It was left to the legitimate son by our ancestors."
"Brother, we seem to be the children of the same mother. Why are you the legitimate son and I the concubine?"
"Bah, why didn't you tell me, my father donated hundreds of taels of money to you as a tribute student, and now you're here to settle small accounts with me. Anyway, the house is reserved for the eldest son and grandson, so it won't cost you your life if you want money."
"Okay, brother has backbone"
Zhang Zhou handed the torch to his son on the side.
Just when Zhang Ye thought his brother was going to give up, Zhang Zhou took out another rag from his arms, and then skillfully poured tung oil on it, holding the fire seal in his hand.
"What are you doing?" Zhang Ye couldn't understand.
Zhang Zhou sneered, raised his head, and showed Zhang Ye the fresh wound on his neck.
"Brother, I am desperate. I saw me hanging by my neck in the Ungong Courtyard and almost died there, but the Lord of Hell refused to accept it and stuffed me back into the underworld. But I want to understand. It would be too bad for one of us to die, but it would be enough for two of us to die. Today, we two brothers will go to hell together, so that my eldest son will have a chance to redistribute the family property, right?"
Zhang Jun on the side suddenly became excited.
It turns out that my father stabbed his neck with a hemp rope on the roadside like a lunatic because of this incident
My father wanted to sacrifice himself to fulfill his son's great conduct. What a great father
"Dad"
Zhang Jun was so moved that he almost went up to persuade his father not to think too hard.
Zhang Ye also understood instantly that his younger brother was actually looking for him to fight for his life. He stepped back to the corner, pointed to the plaque on his head and the statue of his ancestors, and said loudly, "You kid, don't mess around."
p>
Zhang Zhou said, "Brother, I am not unkind. I currently owe twenty taels of foreign debt. You know it. If I ask for twenty taels from you, you will definitely not give it. I will ask you for twenty taels." This is also beyond your ability. Otherwise, you give me two hundred coins so that our family can have food and I can run away with my wife and children. You think it is fair that my brother does not make things difficult for you. "
"Justice, justice, two hundred coins, give it to him"
Zhang Ye heard that two hundred coins can solve the problem, so why not hurry up
At the door The servants were also dumbfounded. Seeing that the eldest master and the second master were going to die together, they couldn't even get money at this time.
"Second brother, from now on"
"Brothers who live everywhere in the future will definitely not step into this yard again. Besides, after this experience, you will do it again next time." Will you let me see you Da Lang again? What are you looking at?Thank you uncle quickly. He works very hard to take care of our family. Do you know how your aunt will punish him if he gives us two hundred coins?"
Hearing this, Zhang Jun went up and took the money bag. He opened it and checked it. After checking that everything was correct, he bowed and saluted, "Thank you, uncle. Our whole family will thank you." "Please remember to bookmark, the latest and fastest website without anti-theft and free reading
