Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty

  Chapter 1018 Common Life

  Fang Zhengqing wanted to say something.

  But at this moment, two figures appeared in front of Fang Zhengqing.

  Fang Zhengqing raised his head and saw the person, he shivered at first, and then his face turned pale.

  Then, without hesitation, he prostrated himself on the ground: "Father, I didn't do anything wrong."

   Come...

   are Fang Jinglong and Fang Jifan.

  Fang Jinglong looked straight at Fang Zhengqing, already short of breath from excitement.

  Fang Jifan, with a smile on his face, is just... This smile is a little awkward.

  This unlucky child, why kneeling, doesn't even recognize his elder father, and looks like he's in mourning, as if I'd eat him.

   It's really no wonder Fang Zhengqing, usually his father always thinks that he doesn't like him, that's all right, the problem is that now is the time for class, so it's definitely not a good thing to come to him suddenly at this time.

   Seeing Fang Zhengqing wailing at the top of his voice, before the beating started, he looked so heart-piercing.

  Fang Jinglong's first feeling was distress.

   Sure enough, it is from our Fang family, with delicate features, even howls so beautiful... Hey... why do you look so pitiful...

  Fang Jinglong stepped forward, hugged Fang Zhengqing, and then said lovingly: "Zhengqing, grandson, grandson, come, let the eldest father take a good look at you."

  Crying and laughing while holding Fang Zhengqing.

  Fang Zhengqing was shocked at first, and then he understood the identity of this person. He felt like he had escaped from the tiger's mouth. He was still smart, and immediately shouted: "Father, it's Father, Father is back."

Ever since he could remember, he had never seen his elder father, but it did not prevent him from finding traces of his elder father on Zhu Zaimo's body. In his consciousness, fathers are not good, and elder fathers will always be It was to support the grandson, and now... his eldest father... is back.

He was so excited that his face was flushed, and he kissed Fang Jinglong's face movedly: "It's dad... Great, my dad is back, dad, my dad beat me up this month Twice, with a leather whip!"

   After finishing speaking, he burst into tears again, and hugged Fang Jinglong's neck tightly, refusing to let go.

  Fang Jifan: "..."

  God knows how hard he tried to resist the urge to beat him up.

   "The student has met his mentor." Zhu Zaimo, who had been standing silently, stepped forward at this moment and saluted Fang Jifan.

  Fang Jifan patted Zhu Zaimo's head, and finally there was a smile on his face: "Your Highness is really cute."

   This is indeed the legendary...child of someone else's family.

Fang Jinglong was so excited that tears filled his eyes, he hugged Fang Zhengqing tightly, and seeing Fang Zhengqing being intimate, he was so excited that he couldn't help himself, good grandson, really his good grandson, such a well-behaved grandson, I can't find it even with a lantern.

  Our Fang family... has a successor.

  …

  Fang Jinglong, Liu Shi, Fang Jifan, Fang Xiaofan, Zhu Xiurong and Fang Zhengqing.

  A family sat around the hall.

   This is a rare scene of a family reunion.

   It didn’t happen before, and in the future… I’m afraid there won’t be such a scene.

  Thus, Fang Jinglong was both joyful and somewhat sad and reluctant.

  But what is the reason for a man to live? Isn’t it for his achievements? Isn’t it for his wife’s favor, so that future generations can all benefit?

  The ancestors of the Fang family planted a tree to make their descendants rich. Now, what Fang Jinglong has to do is to water this tree into a towering tree, so that future generations will have no worries forever.

   This is his deepest, greatest wish. For this, everything can be sacrificed, including himself.

  He hugged Fang Zhengqing on his knees. Fang Zhengqing found a long-lost sense of security in his elder father, and leaned against his elder father, looking very peaceful.

  Fang Xiaofan behaves very dignifiedly, her face has grown a bit, she used to be chubby, Fang Jifan wanted to pinch her whenever she saw her, but now she has the rudiments of a little beauty.

  Zhu Xiurong got up gracefully and poured wine for her father-in-law.

  Fang Jinglong seemed embarrassed: "Your Highness, Your Highness, I will do it myself."

  Zhu Xiurong stroked the messy hair on his forehead, and hurriedly said: "You must not, as a child, you should have filial piety, and my father calls me Your Highness, which is strange."

  Liu Shi also got up and started to talk.

  Fang Jifan sat blankly, feeling like a dream. I hope this dream never wakes up.

  Father and son have struggled so far to get where they are today, but...do we want to continue to struggle? Well, so far, my father seems to never tire of it.

  Fang Jifan was deeply touched, got up and said, "Father, I would like to offer you a toast."

"Come…"

  The father and son were slightly drunk.

  Fang Jinglong's tongue seemed to be tied, but he sternly warned Fang Jifan: "Don't hit Zhengqing in the future, he is still a child, how can you bear to do it?"

  Fang Jifan lowered his head and drank the mulled wine without saying a word.

at the same time.

  An imperial edict has arrived at Fang's house.

  Give Fang Jinglong the Duke of Lu, control the soldiers and civilians of Huangjinzhou, board the ship at Tianjin Port, lead the soldiers and civilians, first to Jiaozhi, and then travel westward by the monsoon.

  When the will comes, there is no joy.

  Some are heavy burdens.

  The materials prepared by Fang Jifan were rushed to Tianjin Port like the tide, and the mountains of canned food, dry food, agricultural tools, weapons, and medicines were loaded onto the ship one after another.

  Countless officers and soldiers of various guards also began to gather.

  All the guards that were required to relocate headed for Tianjin Port one after another.

  The nearby guards boarded the ship first, and the officers and soldiers who left first, and then arrived one after another, would also board the ship with their wives and children.

  Many military officers claimed to be sick, and the imperial court allowed them to stay, but the military households arrived in Tianjin Port with both hope and fear.

  Countless sailors and sailors have brought countless myths about their sudden wealth, but at the same time, they have also brought more adventure legends about overseas.

  The accompanying Confucian scholars began to muster their spirits to boost morale, telling them that there are countless fertile lands and countless gold and silver wealth.

  As long as you are willing to sweat and sweat, this wealth will benefit future generations forever.

  In Tianjin Port, life and death are everywhere, men with hope, weeping women and children, frowning, middle-aged middle-aged people who keep looking back at their hometown...

The only consolation is that the military households are still grouped together. They used to be neighbors, in the same battalion. They are not so much military horses as they are a village, which is equivalent to a village. Migration, even if you leave your hometown, at least the people you are familiar with are by your side.

  The sailors and sailors, looking at these weak chickens, frowned one by one, shouted, or frightened some sad-faced people, or blew their whistles, with an air of unrestrained publicity.

  Many people came with countless salutes on their backs, but when they were about to board the ship, the salutes were thrown out by the sailors.

   They are all broken urns and broken tiles. These things are actually brought on board. Do you think the ship is too big?

  This made the already uneasy military households even more uneasy.

  They were anxious, or in groups of three or four, and each called a few people from the same camp to reason with them.

"What's your name? When you get on the boat, what do you bring with you? The Duke of Lu has already taken care of it for you. As long as you can board the boat, you can take it with you. If you have money, you can bring it with you. You can't board the boat with other junk. "

   "What about the ancestor's spirit seat, why don't you take the ancestor's spirit seat?"

   "Okay, it is allowed to bring the ancestor's spiritual seat, no matter how many, you can't take it."

   "When you arrive at Huangjinzhou, don't you want to make a fire and cook?"

"Is it troublesome? When you arrive at Huangjin Island, cooking utensils will naturally be distributed to you. When you see what is in the boxes on the boat, you will find everything you want. You will not starve to death. Get on the boat and stop talking. Hey Hey, hey... Those with children, be careful, you have to register first, the doctor on board, you need to know which cabin number you are in, the child is on the ship, and it is easy to get sick, the medical students on the ship need to check the child every day .”

Some people have already boarded the boat. They looked at the swarming crowd at the pier in horror, and then looked at the salty and humid air. Some sailors murmured in a low voice: "There are so many women and children, I don't know where they are. How many people on this boat can make it to shore alive.”

   "Is there any way to do this, take the man there, don't the women and children at home care? Didn't all the medical students board the ship, so many medicines, besides..."

  After boarding the ship, in order to comfort these military households, the Confucian scholars on board suggested that canned food be distributed first, so that people can eat first before talking.

   It was a man named Liu Jie who advised the captain.

   It is said that he is a Hanlin, which makes the captain respect him very much, how dare he say otherwise.

   Then, Liu Jie led the Confucian scholars to find canned food, each with a small canned beef, and in addition, a canned pear.

  Everyone who is registered on the ship can come and collect it.

  Liu Jie took the yellow book on the ship, held a pen, and asked the sailors to gather people, and everyone who received the can would mark them in the book.

The anxious military households... all washed them before boarding the ship. There was a special bathhouse in the pier. After they were washed clean, they were given soap, and then each distributed New coarse clothes, their bodies still smell of soap.

They have long been used to being at the mercy of fate. They usually eat bran and swallow vegetables, and let the military officers bully them like a herd of animals. Once the court needs them, they may move from Henan Chief Envoy to Yungui, or go anywhere The mountains, or the desert and the icy and snowy Liaodong.

  Now, they are like their fathers and grandparents. When the court needs them, they board the ship again. No one knows what they will face tomorrow. Just like their ancestors, no one will care.

But they are also human beings, flesh and blood people, they are not ants, they still have the seven emotions and six desires, at this moment, they looked around anxiously, and the person who received the can squatted down. They looked at this strange thing and dared to Ask one after another: "Can I eat it?"
