Chapter 6 A thief breaks into the house

 In the next few days, Zhang He went over to say hello to Zhang Lu every day.

Zhang Lu just didn't want to see Zhang He, but it wasn't that he didn't want to see him. After seeing him more, his attitude softened.

"Let's stay for a meal tonight!" On the last day of the year, when Zhang He was about to leave after his visit, Zhang Lu called out.

"Wei!" Zhang He was stunned, and then responded with a smile. As for Zhang Fei, who was waiting not far away, his smile was even brighter.

After Zhang He went out, Zhang Lu looked at Zhang Fei and said, "You dote on him too much!"

Although my attitude softened so quickly, in the final analysis I still worried about my son's thoughts.

After a few days, I also reflected on myself. Although my husband was wrong, the child was innocent after all.

There are not many direct members of the Zhang family, so brothers still need to support each other.

Zhang Fei is already queuing up, maybe he will become an official in some year, and then the family property will be handed over to the management of the collateral branch. After all, he is not at ease.

The problem is that Zhang Fei is too doting on his concubine, which is very bad.

After all, a concubine is a concubine. If you are too pampered, you will lose respect for your direct descendants.

"But I only have this younger brother..." Zhang Fei retorted.

"You are not only his brother, but also the patriarch of the Zhang family!" Zhang Lu reprimanded, "Everything should be based on the family and not be biased!"

"Only..." Seeing his mother's firm attitude, Zhang Fei couldn't refute anything, lest he cause her displeasure.

It was rare for a family of three to get together for a meal that day, but the mainstream system was to share meals. The rice and soup were served by maids, so Zhang He had no chance to express himself.

The only feeling is that the food here is much richer than that there.

"It seems like there are no maids at Dadao?" Zhang Lu asked suddenly after having had enough wine and food.

"I bought a couple for him three months ago to serve as domestic slaves. I really don't have any maids," Zhang Fei replied.

Later, Zhang He asked him to pay attention to Zhang Yuan's lost children. Since he was paying attention to this matter, there was no need to mention it.

"And he's not young either. It's almost time to get married." Zhang Lu said thoughtfully, "I have a clan niece who is about the same age."

Zhang Lu was born in the Lu family of Zhuo County, and she is still the sister of Lu Zhi. The Zhang family supported Lu Zhi a lot in Luoyang.

Zhang Fei kept silent. It was normal to get married at the age of fourteen or fifteen these days, and he was already engaged.

Liu Bei is already married, and he already has a daughter. Zhang He is sixteen this year, so it is indeed time to get married.

"The child has been weak since childhood and has only improved a little recently. It will be safer to raise him for another year or two." Zhang He declined immediately.

As a time traveler, he is very resistant to blind marriage and mute marriage. Besides, even if he wants to get married, he should be a historical beauty.

"Dadao is indeed weak. He has recovered somewhat after half a year of nursing, but it is not enough." Zhang Fei quickly explained.

It should be said that Zhang He was indeed weak half a year ago, but now he can fight with him in several moves.

The main reason was that he didn't want to get married and was worried about making Zhang Lu unhappy, so he hurriedly helped.

Zhang Lushi didn't know what to say when she heard this. Zhang He cried and fainted in the mourning hall and lay on the bed for more than ten days. She knew this.

You must look at Zhang Fei. If he hadn't happened to pass by, it might not be as simple as fainting. This is what he told himself after he came back.

At that time, I was somewhat complaining. After all, I had just learned that I had a younger brother, but I didn’t expect that he almost lost him again.

"It doesn't matter, you're still young, so there's really no rush. It's just not enough if you don't have a maid to serve you. If you have time, Yide can help you look for someone. Maybe you can transfer one at home." Zhang Lu didn't insist anymore, but she didn't discuss the matter of the maid.

"There are also clues about the maidservant." Zhang Fei suddenly thought of something, "He and my brother's slave have a pair of lost children. They were sold to Nanpi, and someone has been sent to buy them back. It's just happened in the past few days."

It is said that the girl was pretty good-looking, and the price offered was quite high, so Zhang Fei spent a lot of money.

There is nothing I can complain about. The contract is complete and has the official seal of the government. The more we pursue this matter, the more troublesome it becomes.

"That's it, that's good." Mrs. Zhang Lu felt very uncomfortable, as her son had disturbed her proposal. She was really his own son.

The last point where the two of them had to compromise with Zhang Lu was to arrange three nursing homes for Zhang He's family.

The blacksmith shop is said to be small, but there are only two men, Zhang and Zhang Yuan, which is really worrying.

Normally there would be three or four apprentices, who would also serve as nursing homes, but Zhang He had never hired one.

He doesn't make iron either. The smelting furnace in the backyard has never been fired. He didn't even know how to forge three months ago.

"You really don't want to sleep here for one night?" Zhang Fei originally planned to let Zhang He stay here for one night. After all, it's the New Year.

Zhang He means that Zhang Yuan is the only one in the family, so he is not at ease.

Fortunately, Zhang Lushi didn’t mention it, but now I feel that the security at home is really not good, especially since I have gone out.

Zhang Fei was about to see Zhang He off, but the two families were still quite far away, so Zhang He couldn't refuse, so he went with him.

The sky had completely darkened and the streets were pitch black. Zhang Fei ordered people to bring out lanterns and put in candles to light them.

He also ordered the accompanying nurse to bring two or three torches before going out.

Beeswax is not cheap these days, and oil lamps are unstable. Those who can make lanterns are either rich or expensive.

Its main function is not to provide lighting, but to save a lot of trouble when encountering thieves on patrol. The other party will not come over to question you.

Nowadays, the streets are quiet. Those who can walk on the streets either go out to socialize and come back late, or they have to go out for important matters. Otherwise, they are basically thieves patrolling the streets to catch their husbands or their husbands. Of course, there are some roosters and dog thieves.

generation.

The major societies were temporarily suspended, and Zhang Fei specially took the No. 100 nursing home to admonish them one by one. The knights who like to travel high and low, rob the rich and give to the poor, also have someone to warn them.

Unknown to other places, the various forces in Zhuo County have basically maintained a stable state.

"Well, why is the door open?" Back in Nanshi, the sharp-eyed Zhang Fei quickly discovered that the door of the blacksmith shop was open.

Zhang He also realized that something was wrong and was about to run over, but was stopped by Zhang Fei.

He waved his hand, and the three guards immediately pulled out their swords from their waists before leading their men and rushing in.

The shop was in a mess, but Zhang He hadn't forged weapons in recent days, so there was no loss.

In the backyard, they found Zhang Yuan and his wife tied up. The study and bedroom were in a mess, and valuable things were missing.

Fortunately, the thief is not crazy and only robs without causing any harm.

"Zhang Yuan, are you okay?" Zhang He rushed over to untie Zhang Yuan and asked.

"Master, I am so ashamed." Zhang Yuan said with a sad face, what happened at home.

Zhang He went out for a banquet not long ago. After all, it was the last day of the year, so Nanshi was quiet.

Suddenly, three or five thieves broke in, knocked Zhang Yuan to the ground, and asked where the money was stored.

After a severe beating, Zhang Yuan still refused to talk about his life or death. They searched the room and couldn't find much valuables, so they ran away cursing.

"Forget it, you're just fine." Zhang He comforted.

"Who is so bold as to steal here!" Zhang Fei was filled with indignation. The other party could act so accurately, so he had obviously done a better job in advance.

I saw that Zhang He was going out for a banquet, and the blacksmith shop was short of manpower, so he suddenly went into trouble.

"Brother, how about we..." Zhang He looked at the ground. There were many scattered footprints, spreading towards the back door.

"The sealing will begin tomorrow, and only one or two people will be left on duty. The Yamen has very few manpower at this time, and the opponent is targeting this time." Zhang Fei shook his head, thinking that Zhang He was going to report to the official.

It's just that this thief obviously misses his brother-in-law. Once, there will inevitably be a second time. It's not safe here!

"What I mean is that we will find out the thieves tonight and deal with them all!" Zhang He immediately explained when he saw Zhang Fei's misunderstanding.

"What?" Zhang Fei was a little surprised, "Can you still find those thieves?"
