Chapter 171: Joining the Army (2)
I'm sorry, 96 was sick, I lay down all day, and the manuscript has not been written until now.
No, it's just that the daily update may not be so punctual, please forgive me.
==================================================
After waiting for another half an hour, Zhenqi would look at Mrs. Ma at every turn at first, but then she kept her head down.
Zhenlu was the first to come out, and before Caimei, who was guarding outside, could react, he himself opened the curtain and came out.
Seeing Zhenqi and the others waiting outside, Zhenlu squinted and smiled, and said softly: "Grandmother agreed, but I can't eat with you tonight, I'm going to the ancestral hall." ”
went to the ancestral hall to kneel for a night, and expressed to the ancestors the determination to abandon literature and martial arts, and Mrs. Ma promised to let him go to northern Xinjiang with the Fu family.
Zhenlu looked like he was relieved, and he didn't feel like he had been kneeling for a few hours at all.
Zhenqi looked up at him, in the past six months, Zhenlu has moved a lot, and now Zhenqi is only near his shoulder, if he doesn't raise his head, he really can't see his expression clearly. Zhenqi asked with concern, "Does your knee hurt?" Just now, he knelt down and didn't put a futon on it. ”
Zhen Lu smiled when he heard this, reached out and gently pressed Zhen Qi's forehead, and said, "It's okay, there is a fire dragon in the house, and it's not cold at all." I'm not as weak as I used to be, and I often bump and bump when I practice martial arts, and it's okay to kneel for a while. ”
Zhen Lu smiled gently, Zhen Qi thought that she knew her brother very well, and she couldn't tell whether this was true or false for a while, so she could only nod her head in response.
"I'm going to the ancestral hall. You spend more time with your mother. After Zhen Lu and Zhen Qi finished speaking, they smiled at Zhen Lin and Zhen Xuan, "It's a matter of worrying about you together." ”
Zhen Xuan hurriedly shook his head and said, "When the sixth brother said this, he just doesn't treat us as sisters. ”
Hearing this, Zhenlu's smile deepened. But he didn't mention those polite words again. Turned around and walked away.
Zhen Xuan watched Zhen Lu walk through the weeping flower door along the verandah, and felt that his back was still straight, just like in the old lady Ma's room just now, even if it was not a stout figure. It also seemed that the back was widened.
Holding Zhen Qi's hand, Zhen Xuan sighed: "Fifth sister, sixth brother looks more calm than before." ”
Zhenqi didn't say anything. After a while, a voice came from behind: "It's really calm, that's also a blessing." ”
Zhenqi was stunned, turned her head and called "father".
Zhen Lin and Zhen Xuan hurriedly saluted. The fifth master asked them not to be polite, and left with a frown.
Seeing the fifth old man leave, Zhenqi pursed her lips and looked into Mrs. Ma's house.
Jinhong came out and instructed the little maids to fetch water, and happened to see Zhenqi and them, and took another look at the house, said a word to Caimei, and came over.
Zhen Lin saw her. He asked, "How?" ”
Jinhong's voice was very low, and she said, "The old lady carefully told the sixth master about the benefits. The fifth old man sighed for a long time, but he couldn't persuade him. The old lady was relieved at the end, and the fifth master also said that since the sixth master was bent on going, it would be good for him to see and understand. ”
"What about Mother?" Zhenqi was worried about Cao's and asked.
Jinhong wanted to speak and stopped, looking at the three young ladies, and finally held down the dispute between the fifth master and the Cao family before.
The fifth master agreed before, stared at his only son, and said something like this: "You remember, today is your own going, and it is indispensable to suffer and suffer in the future." When you are scared and want to turn back, it is not that simple. Zhenlu, listen well, I don't ask you to kill 3,000 enemies, be a captain, a general, and a governor, but you are afraid and shrink and want to be a deserter, I would rather you die there, and your father and I will climb to the north to collect your body. If you become a deserter, your sister can't afford to lose this person, and our Pei family can't afford to lose this person! ”
Hearing this, Cao Shi burst into tears, and went over to hug his son while crying, and said to the fifth master with tears in his eyes: "What are you talking about, master?" Are you really going to break my life? Holding Zhenlu's face again, he said, "You listen to your mother, if you have anything, you must come back, your mother is your son, you must take care of it." ”
The fifth master didn't care what Cao said, he only asked Zhenlu: "Did you hear that?" ”
Zhenlu held Cao's hand, looked up at the fifth master, and said, "When my son hears it, he will never lose the face of the Pei family." ”
Cao Shi cried sadly, and when Zhenlu and the fifth master came out, she didn't stop crying, and talked to Mrs. Ma in tears.
Jinhong came out to order the water, thinking about what she had just heard, and sighed in her heart.
The fifth master had such a gentle temper, because of his poor health, the original partner Ge Shi got sick in order to take care of him, and passed away within two years. When Xu Xian married Cao, his health was better, and he had two children, Zhen Lu and Zhen Qi, but he didn't expect to say such a thing.
"The fifth lady felt uncomfortable and shed tears, and the old lady was persuading." Jinhong only said this, if those words made Zhenqi know how sad, I don't know how sad Lu Dao would be, "If Miss Fifth is worried, let's go in too." ”
Zhen Qi felt weak in her heart, and asked Zhen Lin and Zhen Xuan to accompany her and go in together.
Just as the hot water came back, Jinhong dragged the basin, Zhenqi personally served Cao's to remove the bracelet jewelry, clean the face, and Mrs. Ma asked Jincheng to bring the balm.
The balm is no better than gouache rouge, and it can't cover the puffiness under the eyes, but at a glance it is still red and swollen like a peach.
Cao Shi looked at the mirror and laughed self-deprecatingly: "This appearance makes the children see the joke." ”
"It's all my own children, what's the matter." Mrs. Ma only calmed down a little at this time, "Zhilu said that you are a loving mother, and you are reluctant to have children." ”
Cao is a sincere person, Mrs. Ma has always liked her straightforward and open-minded nature, Cao pursed her lips and smiled, and said honestly: "Old lady, I came out of my stomach, I couldn't bear it, and I couldn't stand it when I was sent to the army. I understand what the master just said, and I understand the truth, but in the end, it is my own son, and there is really a day when I would rather raise him without face and skin. ”
Mrs. Ma sighed. nodded and said: "It is said that women are soft-hearted, but they are not ruthless, you are reluctant to come out of your belly, how can he be reluctant to give up the fifth child?" You know the reason, and I don't talk nonsense. If everything is good, Zhenlu is born by you. If you don't believe that he is capable. Who's going to write it? ”
Cao Shi heard these words clearly, hurriedly responded, and followed the words of the old lady Ma, and said, "The old lady said very much. I am born and raised, and I should be capable. ”
Seeing this, Mrs. Ma glanced at the three children. sighed: "It hurt our three flower-like girls to be frightened, poor thing, the wind is blowing outside, right?" Jinhong. You ask the kitchen to boil some ginger tea to keep them away from the cold and compress their tendons. ”
Jinhong answered.
Cao Shi looked at Zhenqi and saw that her eyes were full of worry, and her heart warmed, but when she thought that Zhenqi was the fourth master of the Fu family, she couldn't help but feel sour. Said: "My son wants to join the army, and my son-in-law also wants to join the army." My heart is ......."
Zhen Qi's cheeks were red from Cao's words, and she twisted her body to call "Mother", and she hid in the blue yarn cupboard, no matter how Zhen Lin and Zhen Xuan called her, she didn't come out.
Mrs. Ma laughed out loud, pointed to the blue yarn cupboard and said, "Our five girls also know what to do?" After speaking, he looked at the Cao family again, "The Fu family sent almost a full of disciples, if they are anxious, they are the most anxious." When the Fu family asked for marriage, we knew that they were from a martial arts family, and we were not afraid at that time, but now we are afraid, what should we do if it is rumored that Lu went to the five girls? Your son has given it away, but are you afraid of sending it to your son-in-law? ”
Zhen Xuan heard this, glanced at Zhen Lin, and saw that she was also worried, and couldn't help but sigh secretly.
As Mrs. Ma said, if you were afraid that your uncle would go into battle, you shouldn't have set up such a family affair for Zhenqi in the first place.
Now that it has been decided, there is no need to think about it at this time, if you are afraid that if you go to withdraw from your family, then the Pei family's century-old reputation will be lost in it, and no one in this family will do that, that is, no matter how much the Cao family hurts, Zhenqi will not dare to go.
Since this is the case, don't be anxious all the time, Cao is a smart person, nodded and said: "Old lady, I know, I want to find a day to worship a Bodhisattva and ask for peace." ”
"This is what you want, you think about the day yourself, and talk to me when it's decided. I won't go with this body, let Mama Dai and Jinhong follow you and put incense on for me. ”
Cao Shi should go down.
The ginger tea was just cooked, and when it was served, Zhenqi finally came out of the blue gauze cabinet with a red face, drank a big bowl of goodong, sweated, and blushed more and more.
Zhen Xuan was thinking about when to say goodbye, and just as someone was sent to report that Mrs. Fu San was coming, Zhen Xuan got up and said, "Uncle and grandmother have guests here, so I'll go back first." ”
Mrs. Ma waved her hand and said, "It's said that it's a guest, and it's also a family member, don't worry, seven girls, it's not too late to leave after seeing the ceremony." ”
Zhen Xuan had no choice but to sit down again.
Mrs. Fu San came eagerly, and after coming in, she greeted Mrs. Ma and Cao's family, and waited for the three young ladies to say goodbye, and then explained the intention: "It happened suddenly, I didn't hand over the post in advance, I came directly, and the old lady is not strange about the rudeness." ”
It was already afternoon at this time, and Mrs. Fu San didn't bring Laba porridge.
Mrs. Ma knew why Mrs. Fu San came, so she said, "It's okay." ”
Mrs. Fu San's face was full of apologies, and she became more and more embarrassed when she looked at the Cao family: "I also heard from our fourth master, it is the sixth master of your mansion who wants to go to Northern Xinjiang with a few boys from our family." This is our Fu family's thoughtlessness, it was originally a good thing for the sixth master to come to practice martial arts, but it was different to go out to fight, listening to the rough and rough nonsense of our family, if there was something, it would be a sin. ”
Mrs. Fu's meaning is very clear, Zhenlu's joining the army was influenced by several brothers of the Fu family, the Fu family and the Pei family want to be in-laws, if something happens because Zhenlu followed, it is the Fu family brothers who "brought bad" Zhenlu, and it is not beautiful to have a grudge in the future.
"The sixth master listened to their nonsense, I thought it was inappropriate, and I wanted to come over and persuade the sixth master." Mrs. Fu San smiled when she said this, and asked Mrs. Ma, "What about the sixth master?" ”——
