"Brother Zhu wants to take Qiuye as his concubine?" When he heard this news, most of the people in the village were a little happy.

Everyone is actually familiar with this girl Qiuye. She always appears in front of and behind Brother Zhu, silently helping him with trivial matters, serving tea, boiling water, washing clothes, grinding ink, and cooking... Especially the earliest brothers who followed Zhu Yuanzhang were used to Qiuye following Brother Zhu, asking about his well-being.

In everyone's mind, it would be a strange thing if Qiuye didn't marry Brother Zhu. It would be normal to marry him, it would be just a matter of time.

In ancient times, taking a concubine was not as good as marrying a wife. That was a completely different thing. Marriage was the supreme priority. Many things were needed, such as the fate of parents, the words of matchmakers, and the birth date and horoscope, which were considered auspicious days, and many things were given. However, taking a concubine only required one word to the villagers, and put on a few tables of wine and food, even if it was a ceremony.

Some people who are not very wealthy even take concubines, but don’t even place wine and food. They just take a sedan chair and lift the concubine to the back door of their house, and even if they are taken.

This simple style is more suitable for the current situation where the material is not abundant. If you really want to have a big banquet, Zhu Yuanzhang would not be able to take so many things to waste.

Zhu Yuanzhang just sent Ma Xiaotian and others to the village for a few rounds and informed everyone about this, but he didn't plan to do anything further. But he didn't want to do it, but his brothers came to his mind.

There was no fun in the village. Everyone wanted to find something new all day long. When they heard that Brother Zhu took a concubine, the villagers' eyes lit up. This was a good opportunity to make a big fuss. Brother Zhu gave them food and took them to build a village. He did a lot of things for the villagers, but the villagers couldn't repay him. Everyone tried their best to make Brother Zhu happy to take a concubine this time.

Early in the morning, Wang Er and Sanlang took a few brothers into the mountains to hunt, saying that they would have a good meal at night. Ma Xiaotian brought the military band to the responsible for playing the joyful music. The members of these military bands usually engage in weddings and white events, and they really have a good way of playing the joyful music. They started playing the music early in the morning, making the copycat as lively as a festival.

The woman went into the mountains to pick flowers. It was late spring and early summer. It was really a time when the flowers were blooming brilliantly. The mountains and fields were full of yellow, red and blue flowers. The women picked these flowers, put them in a basket, took them back to the village, and then sprinkled them in front of Zhu Yuanzhang's small cave. Those who were brave even ran into the cave and sprinkled them into the cave one by one.

That night, the villagers did not eat at their own house. They cooked the meal at their own house, held the wrists and ran to Zhu Yuanzhang's small cave together, sat on the flat ground in front of the cave, and then ate while smiling. This was a spontaneous banquet, which did not cost the owner a penny. Everyone brought their own food, just to make the place look lively.

Wang Erhe returned from hunting desperately, but there was no good harvest. He only got a deer. As a result, everyone cooked the deer into soup, spooned and drank it with a bowl, and it was so happy.

Zhang Yingxian was hiding in her bed in the corner of the cave. Listening to the lively sounds outside, feeling the enthusiasm of the villagers, I couldn't help but feel a little tasty: I was the real lady of the village, why didn't I make such a big noise when I was forced to go up the mountain to be the village lady? Now I'm obviously taking a concubine, but it's like a festival...

What is a legitimate name? She now understands that Qiuye is just marrying a legitimate name, but she is really a legitimate name, and she has become someone else's wife for no reason... What's going on?

That night, Qiuye was called to serve the bed by Zhu Ba. Zhang Yingxian was alone holding the quilt and shrank into a ball in the quilt. On the small bed not far away, Qiuye's moans or men's breathing came as she imagined. Because Zhu Yuanzhang was very quiet, Qiuye was so shy that he didn't dare to make any sound. There were only occasional sounds of Xixi on the other side of the cave, and the grass leaves on the bed were pressed by the human body, or the rustling sounds made...

Zhang Yingxian felt very sad, and didn’t know what it was for!

At the beginning, Ma Zhibin and the maid were very angry. But now Zhu Ba and the maid were intimate, she was not angry, she just felt sad, very sad...

The next morning, when Zhang Yingxian opened her eyes, she saw Qiuye sitting in front of her bed. Seeing that she was awake, Qiuye quickly asked, "Miss is awake? Are you going to get up? I'll serve you to dress..."

"You still call me a lady? You call yourself a maid?" Zhang Yingxian smiled bitterly: "You should call me sister, call yourself a sister... Moreover, you will have someone to serve you in the future. If you do things like wearing clothes, how can you take care of me?"

"How can you..." Qiuye was startled and said quickly: "You will always be my lady."

Zhang Yingxian shook her head and turned to see that Zhu Ba's bed was gone. It seemed that he got up very early, and like usual, he went out to practice boxing, train the army, and do serious business. This man is really interesting. Others say that spring night is worth a thousand gold. In history, many kings would play with new women all night, which made the morning court delayed the next day. He was a mere mountain king who took a concubine, but went to work the next morning as usual.

Seeing Zhang Yingxian's expression, Qiuye quickly said, "Brother Zhu said... there is something important today that we need to start preparing."

"Hmm? What's the big deal?" Zhang Yingxianqi asked.

"He said... he wanted to go back to Baishui, rob people, grab grain, grab money, and salt, iron, sugar, cloth... the copycat needs a lot of things..."

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang had already arrived at the top of the mountain and was reorganizing the army. This morning, the soldiers were practicing as usual. Slightly different from usual, there was a new army in the mountain village, with a total of 200 people, all composed of young and middle-aged men selected from the newly-upped villagers.

These two hundred new troops were organized into nine teams and ten teams, and each led a team of two brothers Lion and Dogzi. As a result... the nine teams and ten teams were nicknamed "Lion Dog Team" by veterans.

Like all armies, Zhu Yuanzhang's army also began to be divided into branches, which was something that was inevitable for Zhu Yuanzhang to be talented and wise. The army is now mainly divided into three groups, one of which is the oldest thirty-five confidants, plus the first and second teams. They have the longest time with Zhu Yuanzhang and the strongest combat power, so they are also the most conceited and do not bother with other troops.

Team 3 to Team 8 were reorganized after they got on the counterfeit village. Their combat effectiveness was average and their loyalty was worse than that of the first team and the second team. However, after fighting with Yang Hong, they also considered themselves veterans and had some toughness in their temperament.

The last series is the newly-upped Lion Dog Team. These two hundred people are obviously new recruits. Not only can they not take spears, but they are even difficult to walk in the queue. If you ask them to turn left, they will turn right. Let them walk in a row, and they will walk in a mess within a few breaths.

The new recruit Danzi was bullied by veterans, which was inevitable for any army. The two hundred people who were newly up the mountain were training on the top of the mountain, and they were constantly ridiculed by the teams one to eight next to them, making everyone red. Their captain, Lion and Dog, were very upset and wanted to fight with veterans several times, but they had to temporarily act with their tails in hand, so they were angry and did not act rashly.

When Zhu Yuanzhang ran to the training ground on the top of the mountain to inspect, he happened to see the lion dog standing there with a red face and angrily.

Zhu Yuanzhang, who was in the accident, could see what happened at a glance and couldn't help laughing: "Oh, what happened just now?"

Before the Lion Dog could speak, the veterans next to him laughed first: "Brother Zhu, these new recruits can't tell the difference between the left and right. They walked in a mess in a queue, and their own people squeezed their own people. We laughed at them for a few words, and the Lion Dog wanted to fight us."

"Is that true?" Zhu Yuanzhang lowered his face and asked the lion dog.

"Yes..." The Lion Dog said toughly: "We just want to find someone to fight, but we haven't fought yet. Isn't this illegal?"

"Well, it's not illegal to just not take action!" Zhu Yuanzhang laughed and said, "But if you really do it... it's a violation of military law. Remember this. Private fights are strictly prohibited in the army. Once I catch it, it's not a light punishment."

The Lion Dog was warned by him, thinking he was returning to the veteran, and couldn't help but mutter unhappily: "These guys' mouths are too damaged..."

Zhu Yuanzhang turned his head and asked to several veterans: "What have you harmed them?"

"We just said that they couldn't even tell the difference between the left and right. They should go back to the womb to grow their brains again, and then come out after they are ready." Several veterans laughed.

Zhu Yuanzhang sneered and said, "You guys... I remember you. When I first went to the mountain village, I ordered to turn left, and that's you... you turned right."

The veteran: "..."

Zhu Yuanzhang pointed at another point: "I remember you too. I ordered you to walk in a straight line, but you took a big step forward, but you hit the brother in front, and the two of them fell into a rolling gourd together..."

The veteran also blushed.

"Who didn't come from the new recruits?" Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and said, "It's all brothers from Baishui. Whoever bullies his own people? I'm asking Wang Er to slap his eggs."

The veterans were startled and quickly said in unison: "I dare not!"

Zhu Yuanzhang beat both sides, but in fact it was equivalent to helping both sides speak. The soldiers' mood improved a lot. Seeing that there was nothing else, he said seriously: "Okay, don't be boring about anything irrelevant. I'm here to train the ground today, and there is something very important to announce."

When the soldiers heard that it was very important, they immediately looked tight.

Zhu Yuanzhang shouted: "The food in the village is not enough, we must go out to collect grain. The first team, the second team, the third team, the fourth team, the new ninth team, the new tenth team, I will limit you to prepare for travel within three days. Three days later, we will leave the village, attack Baishui, and grab the food. The fifth team, the sixth team, the seventh team, and the eighth team, you are left behind and protect the villagers and elders."
