Chapter 3 Zhang's Erlang
Before the second and fourth brothers came back, Zhang Changzong was ordered to go and find the children playing by the road outside to come back to have a meal—
His cheap nephews, nieces and fifth brother Zhang Yizhi.
When Zhang Changzong passed by, a group of children were playing under a ginkgo tree next to the archway. They could hear their shouts from afar, and they were obviously having a very pleasant time.
What to play?
Zhang Changzong leaned over and took a look-
His good fifth brother, the beautiful male god in the minds of the upper class of the Tang Dynasty, was selected as the male favorite of the Zetian Great Sage Emperor because of his beauty, and the eight-year-old Zhang Yizhi and Zhang Wulang, were taking a group of children to urinate and play with mud!
Zhang Changzong's expression is exactly the same-
Who didn’t have many things that I didn’t want to remember and just wanted to forget when I was young? Everyone has black history, it’s not surprising. Therefore, Zhang Changzong did not hesitate and used his memory that he had become unforgettable because of time travel, and silently recorded the time, place, and events—
On the 20th day of the first lunar month of the second year of Chuigong, Zhang Yizhi, one of the future male gods of the Tang Dynasty, was still peeing and playing with mud on this day! What will you blackmail the fifth brother?
Zhang Changzong couldn't wait to start imagining the future.
"Wulang, Liulang, why haven't you returned home yet?"
An adult big hand pressed on Zhang Changzong's head. It was his second brother Zhang Changyi. He called Zhang Changzong back from Chang's state of thinking: "Second brother, have you been resigned from your post?"
The Zhang family's Dalang, Erlang and Silang are all from the Yin Yin family, but they are all sesame and mung bean officials who cannot even rank. They obviously work as officials in Chang'an City, but they are so low that they cannot even get their salary. They can only get a little harvest from the public farm every year. If they weren't for some land in their hometown of Yifeng, Dingzhou, the Zhang family might not even be full.
The Zhang family is from Yifeng, Dingzhou, and there are many heroic lands in Yanzhao. The Zhang family brothers are no exception. Dalang, Erlang and Silang are all tall, but the first three look like fathers. Although they are not ugly, they are not handsome. They can only be considered as having a good facial features. Wulang Zhang Yizhi and Liulang Zhang Changzong have Xiao's mother, especially Liulang, who look almost exactly the same as their mother and are very handsome.
The brothers of the Zhang family, Zhang Changqi, were steady, honest and honest, with a gentle temper, and lacked majesty. Erlang Zhang Changyi was not talkative and was taciturn, but he was just talking and doing things. Except for Zhang Changzong, a pseudo-child, almost all the children of the Zhang family were afraid of him.
Seeing that his brother was back, Zhang Yizhi quickly pulled up his pants and ran over while tying his belt: "Second brother, let's go back now. Liulang, why did you run out by yourself? Go with the fifth brother's house quickly, don't stroll outside!"
Not forgetting to turn the raid on my younger brother—
It was him who was obviously greedy!
Damn it! That's OK!? In order not to be punished by the second brother, eight-year-old Zhang Yizhi sold his younger brother, which was easy and straightforward. He was simply witty and hesitant without even hesitation!
Never seen such a shameless person in the world jpg
Zhang Changzong looked at the fifth brother silently.
Zhang Changyi reached out and patted Wulang's head, picked up Zhang Changzong, ignored Wulang's trick, and said quietly: "Follow up, don't be tempted to play!"
Wulang Zhang Yizhi touched the head that was slapped by his second brother. It was really hard to fool the second brother, but it didn't matter. I'll continue to help you in the future. Zhang Yizhi tied up his trousers and waved: "Young people, go home!"
"Here!"
The uneven but loud and excited child voices, the Zhang family's children's army finally returned.
When the children came back after washing their hands and preparing to start meals, Silang and Zhang Tongxiu finally came back. It was cold in the first lunar month, and he was covered in dust. He made up a small official in Weiwei Temple, the farthest away from home. Every day he came back, he felt a sense of dust.
"Every day, it's time to eat, it's great! My mother, brothers and sisters-in-law don't have to wait for me. I'll wash and eat before eating. You guys eat first!"
He came in quickly and didn't even pause. He rushed back to the room to wash his face, wash his hands and rinse his mouth. He couldn't eat in his body. At this point, the Zhang family was all here.
Everyone came back, and the family gathered around a rectangular large desk to eat, sat on the ground and had a seat...that was only a wealthy family with spacious places. The Zhang family did not have so many desks, only one large desk, and the whole family gathered to eat together.
After dinner, Wulang took a group of his children and soldiers to play wildly in the yard. Zhang Changzong followed and acted as an exercise after meals. The Zhang family rules: after washing up before dark, they would go to bed and sleep after dark. Wei was thrifty and kept the house in charge. If he could not light the lamp oil at night, he would not light it up early and get up early.
The children had the least human rights, and they were driven to bed after washing up. The nieces and nieces followed their parents to sleep. Zhang Tongxiu, Zhang Yizhi and Zhang Changzong had three unmarried boys in a house. Each one had a sheepskin mattress, and they were lined up side by side.
"My mother!"
After handing the child to his wife to take him back to bed, Erlang Zhang Changyi specially called his mother. Wei stopped his steps to rest as he wanted to sleep: "What else does Erlang have?"
Zhang Changyi asked, "Lu Lang will be sent to the school tomorrow. Can the things be prepared? Are the new clothes cut? "
Wei sighed and said, "Dalang said that he would send Liulang to school tomorrow. The things have been prepared and the new clothes have been cut. Don't worry."
Zhang Changyi nodded and said nothing, but took out a string of copper coins from his arms and handed them to his mother. Wei was stunned and repeatedly said, "Liu Lang will pay for the money from the public to the school, and you don't need to pay for it. After your brothers became adults, Ah Niang said that the salary will be returned to the public, but the money you earned does not need to be handed over. Take it and buy something for Chunniang and the children."
Zhang Changyi said: "Don't worry, this money is all the money I earned from writing letters for others and copying books. I gave my wife four hundred documents. The remaining six hundred documents will be kept for Liulang for flowers. The Western Palace is not as good as us, and it is better for A Niang to have some spare money in her hands. Moreover, we brothers are all mediocre and cannot study. Liulang is premature, and maybe he has talent in studying, or can accomplish things. If he is incompetent, he can only do a little bit. Don't refuse it, but you should think more about Liulang."
Wei was stunned, his eyes wet in an instant, and he took Erlang's money and sighed: "You brothers, Dalang is honest and honest, just like you Aye, but Erlang, you still have some responsibility. You are so kind to Liulang, A Niang will write down your kindness to Liulang. When Liulang grows up, A Niang will tell Liulang truthfully, so that he should not forget his brother's kindness."
Zhang Changyi shook her head and said, "I'm not doing this."
Wei said: "My mother knows, but the truth is not like this. You are just brothers, not fathers and sons."
Zhang Changyi knew her mother's temperament and behavior. Although Ah Mother was a woman, she never pretended to be confused among her brothers. She was open-minded and fair. So she stopped persuading her, but said, "My mom, please go to bed, and I'm back to the house!"
Wei nodded, watched his son turn around, and was about to turn back to the house, Zhang Changyi suddenly turned around and told his mother: "My grandma, don't forget to tell Liulang when you get up early tomorrow. Xifu is not as good as us. In the past, tolerant should be the best, and don't repeat Silang's mistakes."
Wei's expression was stern and nodded repeatedly: "Thanks to Erlang's reminder, I almost forgot about it. However, Liulang was premature and cheerful, so he should not be as impulsive as Silang."
Zhang Changyi said: "After that being said, Liulang is still young, so it's better to give it a lesson."
"But! I will explain to my mother to get up tomorrow."
Zhang Changyi then turned around and returned to the room.
