In the blink of an eye, winter has passed, and spring has begun. Along with the arrival of the first spring rain, the news of the Dongyi invasion came from the front line.

Eight hundred miles were urgent, and the battle report was transmitted from the front line to the palace, and it took only two days. Then the imperial court began to recruit troops, collect military rations, and support the front line.

Originally, these were not related to Qin Tassel and the common people, but Gu Xingfeng, the only son of the Gu family, secretly registered at the recruitment office without telling the Gu family and his wife.

When Qin Tasu knew the news, Gu Xingfeng was kneeling in the lobby, wearing a military uniform, and his aura was lofty, quite a bit of a sense of preferring to die.

"Father, mother, since ancient times, men should protect their families and defend the country, and fight on the battlefield. Even if the last horse leather shroud is still worthy of the support of the family and the country, and the trust of the people! Today, the children are farewell, and I don't know when we will see each other again, I hope my father and mother take care!"

Gu Xingfeng knelt in front of the Gu couple, his back was extremely straight, and his voice was impassioned. After he finished speaking, he kowtowed three times solemnly to Gu Heng and the others, then got up, turned around and walked out of the door without any thoughts.

"Stop!"

"Wind!"

Gu Heng looked at his son's figure and roared angrily, and Mrs. Gu also pinched her handkerchief and shouted with tears in her eyes.

Gu Xingfeng stopped his steps as he said, but he still didn't turn around.

Gu Heng looked at his back, his angry beard blew up, and he roared with slightly red eyes: "If you leave this house today, you will never come back, just because I Gu Heng will not have your son in this life!"

As soon as Mrs. Gu heard Gu Heng say such serious words, she thought about her son who had been raised with hard work to go to the battlefield, and she didn't know if she could come back. When I thought about it like this, I felt even more sad, as if I couldn't bear it anymore, I raised my hand and covered my face with a handkerchief and cried.

Gu Xingfeng listened to the voice behind him, and his expression was not so calm. He took a deep breath, suppressed the sourness on the tip of his nose, and said in a resolute tone: "Dad, please forgive the child for being unfilial." Mother, take care!"

After speaking, he didn't stop any longer, and strode out of the door.

Gu Heng looked at Gu Xingfeng's distant back, as if he had aged ten years for a while. He sat down in the chair, patted the armrest vigorously with his right hand, and said in a hoarse voice: "Rebel...... Rebel!"

Mrs. Gu's legs were weak, she pulled a chair and knelt on the ground, covering her face and crying, "Master......"

Gu Xingfeng walked out of the lobby all the way before he slowly stopped. He looked back at the lobby where he could only see the door, and his heart was inexplicable. After a while, he turned his head, as if he had made up his mind, and was about to take a step, but when he looked up, he saw a white figure standing under the weeping silk begonia not far away.

Gu Xingfeng's foot, which had just been raised, slowly returned to its original place.

Qin Tassel stood under the tree, looking at him calmly, dressed in white, with long hair lightly pulled up, and begonia flowers with light red color and golden stamens on the top of his head. The flowers are squeezed on a few short branches, layered on top of each other, scorching and bright, and they are not the same. makes her whole person look different.

Gu Xingfeng was stunned for a moment, and then pulled out a smile that was no different from usual, and his tone was the same: "Yo, Sister Su, but I heard that I was going to the battlefield, so I came to see me off?"

Qin Tassel didn't answer, just tiptoed and broke a begonia down, then slowly walked towards Gu Xingfeng and handed him the flower in his hand.

Gu Xingfeng reached out suspiciously to take it, looked at the weeping silk begonia in his hand, and continued to laugh: "Sister Su gave me flowers, but even if I go to the battlefield, don't forget you?"

Qin Liusu glanced at him, his eyes fell on the flower in his hand, and said softly: "Brother Gu, do you know what this silk begonia represents?"

"Isn't it just a flower, what can it represent?" Gu Xingfeng's tone was nonchalant.

Qin Tassel shook his head: "This weeping silk begonia has the names of intestinal flowers and homesick grass, which symbolizes homesickness and sadness of the wanderer. She looked up at Gu Xingfeng directly, she had always spoken little, and she had to talk more at this moment, "Brother Gu, it is very dangerous to go to the battlefield here, even if you have thousands of ambitions in your heart, you want to defend the territory and the country." But don't forget, there are elderly parents waiting for you to come back. If you die...... What do you tell them to do?"

Gu Xingfeng looked at the person standing in front of him in a daze, she was wearing a white dress, her voice was calm, and every word he couldn't refute. He never knew that this girl who had been bullied and silent since she was a child would one day stand in front of him, tell him about the dangers of the battlefield, tell him about his ambitions, tell him about his elderly parents, and tell him about ...... We are waiting for you to come back.

Moisture gradually spread under his eyes, Gu Xingfeng looked at the blooming begonias in his hand, and then nodded: "I will remember." ”

Qin Tassel looked at him, and a smile gradually spread on the corner of his mouth: "Brother Gu, take care all the way." ”

Gu Xingfeng looked at the sky, and when he looked at her again, his eyes were only firm, and he didn't hesitate at all: "Wait for me to come back." ”

He said to her, "Wait until I come back." ”

The thousand words in my heart will finally be only one sentence, and I will come back.

After Gu Xingfeng left, Mrs. Gu fell seriously ill and pestered her on the sickbed all day long. This was followed by another heavy rain, which continued for more than half a month. Qin Tassel had to help take care of Mrs. Gu, coupled with the heavy rain, he only went to the woods once after Gu Xingfeng left, and saw Bai Tianhan once, and he never went there since.

After the rain stopped, Mrs. Gu's illness began to gradually improve. Qin Tassel took the time to go to the woods, but she didn't see Bai Tianhan, and the bamboo house was still the same as when she left, but it was less popular.

Qin Tasu didn't have any doubts about this, after all, Bai Tianhan couldn't always wait for her in that bamboo house, and he also had his own things to do. So after Qin Tassel cleaned the bamboo house, he returned to Gu's mansion.

A major battle between the Jin State and Beiyi lasted for three months, and by the time the class returned to the dynasty, it had already entered the summer.

Qin Tassel stood in the lobby, looking at Gu Heng, who was pretending to be calm and drinking tea, and Mrs. Gu, who was walking around in a hurry, lowered his eyes slightly, and stood aside without making a sound.

I don't know how long it took for the little guy who came in to spread the news to break this tense and dignified situation.

The little guy who ran in was overjoyed and said loudly: "Old lady, the young master is back! It's at the door, I heard that he has also been promoted to an official for meritorious service!"

Hearing this, Qin Liusu secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, raised his eyes to look at the Gu family and his wife, and saw Mrs. Gu hurriedly say, "Let Feng'er come in!" while Gu Heng tilted his head to the side, neither denying nor affirming Mrs. Gu's words.

The little guy got his life, turned around and ran out. The solemn anger in the lobby was swept away, but there was a little more joy.

After a while, there was the sound of firm footsteps outside the door. A figure wearing armor and holding a long sword walked in from the door, he knelt down at the Gu couple sitting in the hall, kowtowed three times, and then straightened up, and said in a loud voice: "Father, mother, the unfilial child kowtowed to you!"

At this time, Gu Xingfeng knelt on the ground, his eyes were as firm as those of joining the army that day. It's just that the immaturity on his face at the beginning, with the three months of battlefield life and life and death battles, he has become more mature and stable, with that armor and a long sword, there is a hint of iron-blooded battlefield.

Mrs. Gu saw him kneeling there and was about to step forward to help him, but Gu Heng clapped her hands and signaled her not to go over. Mrs. Gu knew that Gu Heng was still angry with him, and she was a little helpless to let go, so she had to retract her steps and said, "Feng'er, get up quickly, kneel on the ground and get dirty!"

"Yes, mother!"

Gu Xingfeng responded happily, and was about to get up, but Gu Heng swept over with a glance, blew his beard and glared: "Who told you to get up? Kneel down for me!"

Gu Xingfeng was stunned when he heard this, and subconsciously knelt down again. It took him a long time to come back to his senses, and he pouted and was very aggrieved: "Dad......"

"What kind of dad is daddy?do you still have my dad in your heart?" As soon as he called like this, Gu Heng became more angry in his heart, patted the handrail and said, "What did I say at the beginning, don't give me back when you leave this house!"

"Master......" Mrs. Gu glanced at him with disgust, and said soothingly, "Feng'er just came back, can't you say a few words?" After that, he looked at Gu Xingfeng again, "Feng'er, quickly kowtow to your father and make a mistake." ”

This time, Gu Xingfeng was not stubborn, obediently kowtowed to Gu Heng three times, and said a few words of convincing. After Gu Heng heard this, his face was obviously better.

Seeing this, Mrs. Gu hurriedly said, "I've been tossing for so long, Feng'er is also hungry, I'll ask Aunt Wu to make something to eat for you." As he spoke, he was about to go out.

Gu Heng glared when he saw it: "What are you going to eat?" He turned his head to look at Gu Xingfeng, who was still kneeling, "Let me go to the ancestral hall to kneel, I am not allowed to get up without my permission!"

"Huh?" Gu Xingfeng collapsed when he heard this, and muttered, "Dad, I just came back......"

"I know you just came back!" Gu Heng glared again when he heard him dare to argue, "Are you going?"

"Okay, I'll go, can't I go?" Gu Xingfeng hurriedly compromised, and when he got up and turned to go to the ancestral hall, he glanced at Qin Liusu, who was standing aside as a background, and then winked at her narrowly.

Qin Tassel was slightly stunned, and after a little shake of his head, Gu Xingfeng strode past her and walked straight in the direction of the ancestral hall.

Gu Xingfeng's first night back was spent in the ancestral hall.

He had just returned from the battlefield, and after a long journey, he was very tired physically and mentally, so he didn't expect that Gu Heng would really be ruthless and let him kneel in the ancestral hall for one night.

But later, seeing that the night was getting deeper and deeper, Gu Heng didn't send anyone to call him back, and he didn't dare to go back to the room by himself, so he had to slander himself, and just lay on the ground and slept with his clothes.

When Qin Tassel sneaked in with a food box, Gu Xingfeng was lying on the ground and sleeping soundly, the whole person was in the shape of a big character, and he smashed his mouth twice from time to time.

Qin Tassel felt funny when he saw it, he was such a big person, but he still didn't know the image like this, he really looked like a child.

At this time, it was the height of summer, and Qin Tassel was not afraid that he would sleep on the ground and catch a cold, but it was inevitable to wake him up. After such a long time of running, as soon as he came back, he ran home, but he was driven to the ancestral hall and punished to kneel, and he didn't eat much, and he should be hungry.

Thinking like this, Qin Liusu didn't stop moving in his hands, and pushed him to wake him up. Gu Xingfeng opened his eyes and looked at her in a daze, and the whole person had not yet recovered from his senses.

Qin Tassel took the food box in front of him, then opened it, and took out the contents and put them on the ground. Smelling the fragrance of the pastry, Gu Xingfeng couldn't sleep, so he got up as soon as he turned over, picked up a piece of hazelnut cake and threw it in his mouth.

Qin Liusu saw that he was eating in a hurry, and hurriedly said, "Brother Gu, eat slowly, don't choke!" After speaking, he still felt uneasy, so he took the kettle and a cup out, and said while pouring water, "It's getting late, and there is no food in the kitchen, I'm afraid of alarming my godfather and godmother, so I didn't move the stove." Qin Tassel put the kettle away, and then pushed the cup in front of him, "Brother Gu, you can eat some first, eat some to fill your stomach." Tomorrow, Godfather should let you go back, he is reluctant to punish you for too long. ”

After speaking, he seemed to remember that Gu Xingfeng was in trouble when he was a child, Gu Heng always blew his beard angrily and glared when he knew it, but he didn't dare to punish this only son too much, so after Gu Xingfeng made a mistake, he always asked him to copy books, be locked up in confinement, kneel in the ancestral hall or something, and then on the second day, Gu Xingfeng didn't have a long memory, and he would continue to make trouble.

Thinking of this, Qin Tassel smiled lightly, and when he looked up, he found that Gu Xingfeng was staring at him, his eyes were shining, and his handsome face looked unusually soft in the candlelight.

Qin Tassel was stunned for a moment, and said, "Brother Gu, what are you looking at me for?"

Gu Xingfeng stared at her for a while before he threw a piece of dim sum into his mouth, pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled, as if he had recovered the boy who always bullied him: "It's nothing, I just feel that it goes by so fast." You were only so small when you came to our house......" Gu Xingfeng stretched out his hand and gestured at her, looking at her with a smile, "But in a blink of an eye, you have grown so big." Sister Su, it's time for your ceremony in a few days, and you'll grow up. ”

The smile at the mention of this Qin Tassel dimmed slightly, she lowered her head, and sighed a little abruptly: "Yes, it's really fast, it's been fifteen years." Daddy, he's been hiding from me for fifteen years......"

Gu Xingfeng was stunned for a moment, only to find that he had mentioned Qin Tassel's sadness again, and he couldn't wait to raise his hand to slap himself.

He looked at the person sitting in front of him with his head slightly bowed, hesitated for a moment, reached out and landed on top of her head, and then rubbed it comfortingly.

Qin Tassel's body stiffened, Gu Xingfeng felt the slightly stiff body under his palm, coughed unnaturally, and turned his head not to look at her.

"What's that...... When you salute, Uncle Qin will definitely come, don't worry......"

Qin Liusu looked up at him in a daze, but saw that he turned his head, his face was very unnatural, and the roots of his ears were slightly red.

Only Qin Tassel, who was bullied by him, was comforted like this, seeing his rare appearance, he laughed out loud as soon as he "poofed", and the laughter tended to get bigger and bigger.

Gu Xingfeng was able to sit there calmly at first, but then his face became darker and darker when he heard the laughter, and finally turned his head to look at her impatiently: "What are you laughing at? Is it funny?"

Qin Tassel looked at him and smiled slightly, but the curvature of the corners of her mouth still showed that she wanted to laugh.

Just when Gu Xingfeng was getting more and more impatient and was about to speak again, Qin Liusu hurriedly took a piece of pastry and threw it into his mouth to stop his words.

Gu Xingfeng was stunned by her movements for a long time, looking at her gaze sluggishly, and the whole person kept his movements.

Qin Tassel looked up at him, his eyes were sparkling, and there was a smile on the corner of his mouth, looking at him with a serious expression.

"I know, Brother Gu, I'm not worried. ”

After speaking, he said softly as if expecting.

"One day, everything will be fine. Certain. ”
