Chapter 052: Matters of the Heart
The woods behind the house have experienced autumn frost, and many of the green leaves have turned yellow and red. But in the end, in the end, in southern Xinjiang, although it is early winter, there is still no bleak scene of boundless falling trees.
Xiao Yu went to the cellar to check the remaining mountain wine and twisted wine. After a few months of fermentation, the wines were already more mellow than before, but she had no plans to sell them yet.
The wine was nothing unusual, and Xiao Yu followed the ladder back to the house.
Xiao Yucheng came over to fetch the vegetables stored in the cellar, he had something on his mind, Xiao Yu stood next to him and he didn't notice it, and opened the cover of the exit of the cellar.
Xiao Yu saw that he was a little delirious, and thought that he had been like this in the past few days, so he asked, "Do you still remember General Ling's words?" ”
Autumn and winter is the season when the nomadic peoples in the northwest are withered and lack of grain and grass, so Hu Lu often invades the border at this time, one is to plunder and store for the winter, and the other is to divert the herdsmen's attention to hunger and cold. The day before yesterday, I heard that the enemy on Hao Jun's side had some abnormal movements, and the frontier was strengthening its defense. At that time, Xiao Yu's achievements were quite touching.
"Huh?" Xiao Yucheng was stunned for a moment, a little embarrassed, and hesitated: "What do you think?" ”
"You want to join the army?"
Xiao Yucheng was silent for a moment, then raised his head and said, "Yes." ”
Xiao Yu nodded and said, "How I think it is secondary, the most important thing is whether you have that heart or not." Since you are so resolute, you must have thought it out and just done it. ”
"You don't object to me joining the army?" Xiao Yucheng was a little surprised and surprised.
"Actually, I don't want you to go to the battlefield, it's too dangerous. But you have made up your mind, and I didn't expect you to be named on the gold list, after all, those who can win the imperial examination are either powerful or famous. Now that the world is quite stable, the career may not be more peaceful than the battlefield, it is better to join the army, not to waste martial arts, and not to live up to the enthusiasm of men. As long as you read more books in your spare time, it is still a good thing to count in one fell swoop. ”
Xiao Yucheng's face showed joy: "It turns out that you also think so clearly for me?" It's just that Sister Ah is afraid that she will not agree, she originally thought that I could take the test to achieve fame and glory to my ancestors. Now that the government and the opposition are a little heavy on literature and light on martial arts, I am worried that if I abandon literature and follow Rong, Sister A will be unhappy. ”
At the beginning of the Great Qi conquest, of course, it relied on military generals, only in recent years, there was a sign of peace in the Qing world of the Haiyan River, and the emperor inevitably suspected that the generals supported the troops and stood on their own, in order to reduce the status and power of the military generals.
It is now the famous general Ling Yi, whose father is also a high-grade civil official, who is a scholar of the household department, and his family has been passed down through the generations, and he is also young and first, and then joined the army. Compared with other generals who don't know big characters, he has the heart of Wenchen more.
"Do you think fame is so easy to test?" Xiao Yu shook his head and said, "I think Sister also wants you to learn to be literate and reasonable, so I would expect you to be an official and worship the prime minister." ”
Xiao Yucheng didn't think so, frowned and said, "Sister still has great expectations for my studies. And she made it clear that she didn't want me to join the army. ”
"That's human nature. If there is a war to go to the frontier to garrison or fight, it is even more difficult to go home, and even die on the battlefield, how can Sister be willing? ”
Xiao Yucheng was immediately deflated when he heard this, and was silent.
The two were talking here, but they didn't know that Xiao Pei saw that Xiao Yucheng hadn't returned from taking the vegetables for a long time, so she came over to urge, and half of this conversation fell into her ears. Hearing that Xiao Yucheng never forgot to join the army, and Xiao Yu also supported it, she was really angry and sad, she wanted to go in and say a few words to the two of them, but after hearing Xiao Yu's later words, she still walked away, just pretending not to know anything.
Xiao Yu knew which man was full of enthusiasm to go into battle to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions to his family and country when he was young, and it was also a good thing to let him fight while he was young, so he said: "If you really have this heart, I will help you persuade Sister A." ”
"Really?" Xiao Yucheng turned his head, and the brilliance in his eyes flowed, "Sister listens to you the most!" ”
"I hope so." Xiao Yu said with a smile, "There's nothing to thank you for, if you join the army, with General Ling's ability, you will have a lot of opportunities to make meritorious contributions, maybe you can become a general in ten or eight years, and Sister A and I will be able to follow at that time." If the army recruits female soldiers, I want to see it. ”
Xiao Yucheng looked at Xiao Yu's bright smile, and was a little stunned for a while. Before I knew it, she seemed to look better. Yes, she's twelve.
"Is there anything dirty on my face?"
Xiao Yucheng looked away and said, "No, I just think that your ideas are always different, it's not that you are in the wrong place, but you are actually a wild boy." ”
"Rely on me to talk, don't you? It's getting more and more open-mouthed. Xiao Yu unceremoniously knocked his finger on Xiao Yucheng's head, "Be careful, I won't say good things for you in front of Sister A." ”
Xiao Yucheng calmly turned around and went down to the cellar: "You won't." ”
"That's just as well." Xiao Yu was helpless, "Hey, who made me so good." ”
Hearing this, the corners of Xiao Yucheng's mouth twitched slightly, and then a smile appeared. Xiao Yu waited outside for him to take the dishes out, and the two went to the kitchen together.
As soon as I got out of the door of the warehouse, I saw Xiao Pei holding a tea cup and entering the hall, but it was Hao Jun and Qin Guangyu who came.
Hao Jun saw Xiao Yucheng and shouted: "Yucheng, how are you thinking about it?" How nice it would be to go to the barracks and have a hookup with my eldest brother. ”
Xiao Pei's face suddenly sank, put the tea cup on the table, and said, "Brother Qin, Captain Hao, please use tea." ”
Xiao Yu touched Xiao Yucheng quietly.
Xiao Yucheng whispered: "You see that when Sister Hao heard Brother Hao's words, her title changed, and I am afraid it will be difficult to succeed." It's all up to you this time. ”
"Thank you, Sister Xiao." Hao Jun didn't realize it, raised his head and drank a cup of tea, and continued, "Yucheng, you just have to rest assured, when you get to the barracks, the eldest brother will never let people bully you......"
Xiao Pei said coldly: "The little woman thanked Captain Hao for her kindness. Yucheng still has to go to school. ”
Hao Jun finally found out about Xiao Pei's displeasure, and his face was stunned and he didn't know what to say.
Qin Guangyu hurriedly said: "Miss Xiao Pei, don't be annoyed, Brother Hao should think that the military camp is good, so he will say this, and it is also a good intention." He's always straightforward, don't take it to heart. ”
Hearing this, Xiao Pei's face softened.
Xiao Yu saw that Xiao Yucheng was about to speak, so he preemptively said: "Actually, I think it's good to have the opportunity to go to the army to experience it." ”
Xiao Pei looked at Xiao Yu, his face was not as ugly as just now, but he still frowned and said, "Why does Ah Yu think like this?" Now that the family is rich, there is no problem for Yucheng to go to school. Don't you know how dangerous it is to join the army? Although it looks stable now, even if you catch thieves, you often have to fight with your life, let alone go to the battlefield, in case you ......"
"Why did Sister let Yucheng go to school?" Xiao Yu did not answer the rhetorical question.
Xiao Pei was slightly stunned, and then said calmly: "I want him to be able to read and reason, and of course I also have the intention of hoping that he will be able to gain fame and glory." ”
