There are new people and things in the capital every day.

If Shen Rouning's family never went back, no one in the capital would think of them. Just like the previous ten years, almost no one would bother to ask how the only concubine of the Chen family was.

Master Shen Si is now the county magistrate of a county.

Even in terms of career planning, he still needs to stay in the local area for seven or eight years, slowly become a six-grade and five-grade official, and even spend more than ten years to become a prefect before he needs to return to Beijing to seek better development. Therefore, within three or five years, there is no need for Shen Rouning to return to Beijing.

If she doesn't go back, the things she worries about can basically be avoided.

In the war, if Emperor Qinglong dares to choose a woman for himself at the expense of the people and the country, he is not afraid that the soldiers in front of him will have a pimple in their hearts and will not work hard for him. Emperor Qinglong was an aspiring king, and would hardly do such an unwise thing.

Therefore, Chen Houji didn't quite understand what Shen Rouning thought.

Shen Rouning was slightly stunned.

She didn't expect Chen Houji to ask such a question.

She hesitated for a moment before she said, "Cousin, the world is unpredictable. When I stayed in Shenjia Village, I never thought that I would have a prominent grandfather's family, let alone that I could have any intersection with the high-ranking emperor. ”

Who can predict what will happen in the future, and there will be no variables

"I'm just thinking a little bit more in advance, arranging a little, and comforting a little." Shen Rouning paused, and said with a soft smile: "If you can go back to Beijing, of course I don't want to go back to Beijing." You see how interesting my life is now. ”

Heaven and earth are so big. She's only seen how much. If she was trapped at this time, she could even imagine how unwilling she would be. She didn't want to.

And whether it is Chen Gong in the capital or Qin Xu Chen Houji next to him, they are all men, and they can't imagine what kind of thoughts women will have. Especially women in the deep palace.

Shen Rouning had lived in that place for many years in her previous life, and she knew herself and those women.

So, she's not as optimistic as they are.

Anyway, it's good to be prepared.

She didn't want to explain too much to Chen Houji. So talk with a smile and easily.

Chen Houji really didn't think about it anymore. nodded, changed the topic, and said, "I don't know when the eldest brother will come over." ”

Thinking of Chen Houyun, Chen Houji had admiration in his eyes. There are also some petty jealousies and unhappiness. Xiang Shen Rou muttered and complained, "It stands to reason. He studied literature and I practiced martial arts...... He is a scholar, shouldn't he stay in the study, shaking his head and gnawing at the pen, right? And I, a martial artist who practices martial arts, have rough skin and thick meat. It's the one who walks the world with a sword, and he's tired of the wind and rain, right? ”

"But Ah Ning, look at it, what about now? He was a scholar, and he actually took the risk of running to the enemy country in the north and went around a big circle, even on the grassland! This year, I know that others are all over Daqing, but in fact, if I hadn't received his letter, even my grandfather, father and mother wouldn't have known where he had wandered there! ”

"If the next time he writes that he has gone to the Nanyang countries in Qin Qi's mouth, I won't be surprised at all, really!" Chen Houji took a golden leaf and grinded it vigorously on the stone table, and while grinding, he said depressedly: "And what about me, a martial artist? I have been practicing martial arts for more than ten years, and I basically haven't gone anywhere! I still remember one time I went to ask my father, but he reprimanded me for having a bad temperament, saying that I could still make trouble in the capital for the Chen family, and once I went out, maybe I didn't know what to cause and I wouldn't be able to come back! ”

"In their eyes, I'm just an impulsive and reckless hairy boy who doesn't know the sky!" Chen Houji complained: "It's not fair! ”

It seems that Chen Houyun is really worthy of the identity of the head of the Chen family, although he only has a literary name, but in fact, his steady and cautious, courage and insight to travel the world are the preciousness of his personality.

Shen Rouning looked forward more and more to seeing this legendary cousin Yun as soon as possible.

"Didn't my grandfather let you come to Ningbo to join the army this time?" Shen Rouning smiled and soothed the depressed Chen Houji.

"If he doesn't allow it, I'm going to run away from home." Chen Houji finished complaining, his mood relaxed again, asked Hongying to change a cup of tea for him, changed the topic again, and said: "By the way, Ah Ning, the Deng Changnian you know, did he write to you?" ”

Shen Rou was stunned, shook her head and said, "When I left the capital, he should still be meditating in the temple...... I just sent a message, and I didn't say goodbye to my face. He planned to join the army before, but I wonder if he is gone now? Where did it go? ”

Chen Houji suddenly mentioned Deng Changnian, there is always a reason, right?

Shen Rouning really hasn't received news from Deng Changnian for a long time. Since leaving the capital, if it weren't for Shen Duanrong's occasional muttering, she would have really forgotten that person.

"He went to Liuzhou." Chen Houji didn't know whether to envy or regret, and said: "The Liuzhou Guard Station went through the first round of transfer a few days ago and recruited 5,000 people from the new army, but almost all of them were transferred away and transferred to the front line. Nine times out of ten, he's among them. ”

"So fast?" Shen Rouning was a little stunned.

After one round of selection, I don't know how long I have to wait for the next round. Deng has been in the army for many years, and what he wants is to make meritorious contributions, and he will definitely leave in this batch.

He actually went to the battlefield, so quickly.

"yes, it's fast." Chen Houji sighed lightly: "The front line has been under martial law, and there have begun to be small-scale temptations, with casualties on each other...... Qin Xu said that we, Ningbo Wei, will also pass in the spring of next year, at most early summer. ”

Shen Rouning didn't know what to say for a while.

War......

In the past, when I talked about who joined the army, I just talked casually, and I didn't think too much about it.

This is the first time, when Shen Rouning heard the word "war", a picture of "bloodshed" and "death" appeared in front of her eyes. She didn't even dare to look close, so she suddenly closed her eyes and shattered the blurred picture.

But she still felt chills on her body. I finally learned that war is not just words.

It's really going to die.

Deng could die on the battlefield for many years. Chen Houji and Qin Xu are the same. The same will die.

Shen Rouning was speechless.

After a while, she asked Chen Houji with difficulty: "Cousin, have you ever killed someone?" ”

Chen Houjijun's face changed, he was silent for a while, and shook his head: "No." I haven't killed anyone. ”

He has taught many ruffians and beaten many gentlemen, but he has never killed anyone. Even, even bloodshed is rare.

"Deng Changnian didn't have either." Shen Rouning's face turned a little pale, and she said, "But you are all going to kill people." (To be continued......)
