The river wind was still blowing, and the big boat was holding the lamp, and the soup word on the red lantern was rising and falling slightly with the waves. [No pop-ups]

At this time, a sound of footsteps came: "Is the third brother still on the deck?" ”

This question woke Tang Wenxing up from his memory.

He turned around sharply, subconsciously trying to draw his waist knife.

Although the battles of Chuzhou and Sizhou have been over for almost two months, the unprecedented and tragic battle is still echoing in his mind all the time. Many nights, Tang Wenxing would dream of the flesh and blood in the sky, and dream of the screams and shouts that resounded through the world...... Dream about the throwing gun that was thrown at you......

This time I turned around, only to find that it was my eldest brother Tang Yuwen.

Tang Wenxing made a sonorous sound, put the waist knife back into the sheath, and arched his hand: "It turned out to be the eldest brother, the cabin is so hot and stuffy, I can't sleep, so I'm here to enjoy the cool." ”

Tang Yuwen is the eldest son of the Xinguo Mansion, as the future heir to the title of the Xinguo Mansion, he has been pampered since he was a child, when he saw the shiny big knife, he was suddenly frightened and took a step back.

Seeing Tang Wenxing's green eyes in the dark night, my heart was even more cold. Then I couldn't help but be annoyed: It's really a **** chai'er, this is like a vicious dog.

Tang Yuwen took a breath, calmed down his beating heart, and smiled calmly: "Third brother, let's go in a hurry." My father was a man of few words, and he didn't like to talk much. This time I went to Beijing, and my brother felt that it was better to have some things to make clear to you. ”

Tang Wenxing retracted the edge of his body, and bowed down respectfully: "Yes, listen to my brother's lesson." ”

Seeing Tang Wenxing's respectful face, Tang Yuwen waved his sleeves in a dashing manner and said, "Third brother, you have made great military achievements on the battlefield this time, and you have been awarded martial arts by the imperial court, this is the first time in the history of our country's government in a hundred years, and it is also a great opportunity for us to revive the glory of our family." My father said, third brother, you have already won the third-grade martial arts, but you still have to have a high-grade practical cooperation to be proper. ”

"We are all nobles, according to the imperial court system, we can't do business, we can't be officials in the imperial examination, and it's really a pity. Because of this, the noble family of many times has declined. ”

The meaning of Tang Yuwen's name is taken from: "Zi said: The gentleman is erudite in the text, and he is courteous".

There are three sons in the Xinguo Mansion, the eldest Tang Yuwen and the second Tang Yili, and the names of both of them come from the words of Confucius. As for Lao Santang asking for a line, Xin Guogong didn't bother much, and said directly: A gentleman doesn't ask his heart when he asks about it.

"Yes, brother is right." Tang Wenxing pondered unconsciously.

Tang Yuwen: "But no matter how things change in this world, there are still some noble families that still stand, such as the Xu family." Do you know why? "The so-called Xu family is the descendant of Xu Da, the founder of the country.

Tang asked: "Please also ask my brother." ”

"That's because the people of the Wei Mansion have always led troops and have always been in charge of the defense of Nanjing City." Tang Yuwen's face was awe-inspiring: "In the dynasty system, civil officials have to rely on the imperial examination to enter the office. But the army is in charge of the nobles, and the court is naturally at ease with our noble children, as long as we can lead the troops, we can repay the glory of the family. It's a pity that after the civil fort, no one takes this system seriously. Now, there are wars everywhere in this world, and the third brother, you have won the martial arts again, it is a good time to carry forward our Xinguo Mansion. ”

"This time I went to Beijing, my father said that I was going to use all the strength of the family to take out a lot of money to raise you to the official position of Jingying pacification. Don't underestimate this position, it can lead thousands of people, and what kind of place is the Beijing camp, but it is extremely important to directly defend the garrison of the Beijing Division. When the time comes, with you in Beijing, the Son of Heaven will naturally think of our people who believe in the Guogong Mansion and the blood shed by our ancestors for the Ming Dynasty. ”

Speaking of this, Tang Yuwen became excited, he reached out and patted the little brother's shoulder, and said, "Third brother, the family's trust can be said to be tied to you. Over the years, my father has seen that the reason why our surname Tang has declined is because no one in the family is moving around the scene. If it continues like this, it may not take a hundred years, and my family will be forgotten by the Son of Heaven by the court and the world. ”

In the past half a day, Tang Wenxing has spent all his time in chaos, and he was slapped by his brother, and he suddenly came to his senses. muttered, "But...... Brother, I have promised General Sun Yuan that as soon as his body recovers, he will go to serve in the Ningxiang Army...... The Ningxiang Army is the strongest army in the world, and it is a good place for our generation to make contributions...... I think, I think ......"

Seeing that Tang Yuwen's expression was getting more and more serious, Tang Wenxing's voice gradually lowered, and in the end, he felt a little unable to raise his head.

"Haha, haha!" Suddenly, Tang Yuwen burst out laughing.

"Big brother, what are you laughing at?"

"Childish!" Tang Yuwen snorted: "He Sun Yuan is a small thousand households, even if he makes such a great contribution, and the court rewards him, he is just a general and a guerrilla." Under him, where is your status, even if you have the background of our Tang family, a deputy position is in the sky, and what future can you talk about. If you go to Jingshi now, you will immediately be a calm man, with heavy troops in hand. With the full support of my family, I need to say more about my future prospects. I'm funny, what kind of medicine did he Sun Yuan pour you, but he was willing to let him drive him? A good general doesn't do it, but he wants to go to his camp to be a soldier who is only worth a penny. Third brother, you are so disappointing. ”

"Big brother, I promised General Sun Yuan, if you can't talk, it's not a word! The man's husband fought on the battlefield and contributed to the country......"

"Shut up!" Tang Yuwen interrupted Tang Wenxing's words, and said: "You are all on the boat, and you are about to go to Zhenjiang, but you said such things, why didn't you mention this to your father before?" Now, the family has decided to use all the manpower and material resources at hand to support you, do you want to go to Ningxiang Army to disappoint everyone's expectations? Don't forget, your surname is Tang, you are a son of the Xinguo Mansion, you don't live for yourself. ”

After speaking, Tang Yuwen brushed his sleeves and left.

Looking at the back of the eldest brother, Tang Wenxing looked at the dark river blankly: Yes, why didn't I talk to my father about this at noon? Is it because I'm afraid of him...... For so many years, I stayed in the small courtyard, as if I had been forgotten by him. I don't even remember what my father looked like...... I thought I wouldn't have any feelings for that man, but when I really met, I was still overwhelmed by my father's momentum, and I couldn't think of any rebuttal. It's like a puppet, being dragged by my father to do what he wants me to do.

Perhaps, the eldest brother is right, my surname is Tang, and the children of the Tang family of the Xinguo Mansion can't live only for themselves. I'm so selfish.

General Sun, Tang Wenxing is sorry for you!

He gritted his teeth, and his mind became firm.

Strode to the door of the cabin, and said ashamedly: "Brother, it's my fault, please forgive me." ”
