After the banquet was over, after the ladies of each family left with their young ladies, they asked the matchmaker not to mention it.
When Shen Moli's mother and daughter returned home, the housekeeper's mother-in-law came to report that there was a guest from the house, and Shen Botao was talking with her.
Shen Moli didn't think much about it, returned to his room, and Wen Zhu helped change his homely clothes on the side, lying on the chaise longue and about to open "A Thousand Golden Fangs" to take a look.
Lamei hurriedly entered the door, "Miss, the master just sent someone to let you hurry over to the main room." ”
On weekdays, my father rarely sent someone to find out that something must have happened to him, Shen Moli got up, sorted out his clothes, and hurriedly went out of the door and went straight to the main room.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw my father sitting on the chair with a serious face, my mother just wiped her tears with a handkerchief, and Shen Moli looked at my father in wonder.
Shen Botao frowned and looked at his daughter and said solemnly: "Just now I met with a messenger who came from Tongguan, and what I conveyed was General Zhang's message, and many barbarian soldiers from tribes gathered outside Tongguan, saying that a big war is about to break out!" He sighed heavily.
Before Shen Moli could react to who General Zhang was in his father's mouth, he heard that the big battle was imminent, and his heart chuckled, the tragedy of the battle not long ago was still vivid, the bones of the fallen soldiers were not cold, and he seemed to feel the sharp pain in his arms all of a sudden, and his hands couldn't help but twist the handkerchief, "Daddy, didn't the Huns sign an armistice treaty with us?" ”
"Not the Huns! It was the other tribes on the grassland who saw that the Great Xia and the Xiongnu were defeated and both were defeated, and they wanted to take advantage of the fire to rob when the vitality of Great Xia was greatly damaged, so they united and thought about bloodbathing Tongguan again. ”
Shen Moli heard that the handkerchief in his hand fell to the ground here, and he hated these murderous and plundering Tartars in his heart, they were all insatiable guys!
Zhou Wanqing listened to her husband's words and began to sobb in a low voice.
"Don't cry!" Shen Botao stared at his wife and daughter in front of him, and a trace of guilt flashed in his eyes, "This time is different from the previous time, although we have time to prepare for the war, but we have just experienced the ravages of war, and the devastated Shaanxi has just had some vitality, and it is about to experience a big war again, so this time people's hearts cannot be dispersed and chaos!" You all have to stay in the government office, you can't go anywhere, and you have to help boost morale! Hui'er, I've already sent someone to pick him up!"
"Master, why don't you discuss it with me? It's okay if I don't leave, but Hui'er is the only son of the Shen family! Zhou Wanqing was even more sad when she heard the reason why her son came back.
"Mother, don't worry! Daddy was talking about the worst-case scenario, maybe it wasn't that bad! Shen Moli hurriedly stepped forward to comfort his mother.
"I've already sent a letter to Pingyang to prevent them from coming." Shen Botao looked at his wife and said, a few days ago, the Zhou family wrote that they came to congratulate themselves on taking office, and this time they couldn't be allowed to come over no matter what.
"Daddy, what can we do?" Shen Moli looked up at his father and asked.
"Li'er, just stay by your mother's side!" This time he said that he couldn't let his daughter experience danger again, Shen Botao looked at his daughter who was becoming more and more beautiful and lovely, and this time he was ready to become a benevolent if he didn't succeed!
