"It's not uncommon to go into battle and prepare your own armor." Old Madam Mu finally said: "The rattan armor issued to you, if you don't want to wear it, you won't wear it." It's just that where to find the leather armor that fits your body right now? ”

"Cloth armor will do the same." Mu Hongshang said immediately.

"That's not possible, I'm not at ease with the cloth armor." Old Madam Mu shook her head.

"I've got it here." Mrs. Mu San, who was silent on the side, suddenly stood up: "I made a brocade dress." On the second day when Jinyi went to escort the military rations, I thought that there would be a lot of such things in the future, so I hurried to make a leather armor for Jinyi. But ......"

Mrs. Mu's voice lowered. Mu Jinyi never came back, and this leather armor was naturally useless.

The people in the room were silent, and Old Madam Mu's face was gloomy. She looked at her third daughter-in-law, and just wanted to say a few words of comfort to her, but Mrs. Mu San had already hurriedly turned around and walked out.

As she walked, she said as if to hide something: "I...... I'll go get it. The brocade clothes and the red clothes are about the same size, and I think that the brocade clothes are growing their bodies, so the armor is made bigger, and it is temporarily ...... It should be too late to change. ”

Mrs. Mu San really quickly brought a leather armor, which was slightly larger than the size of Mu Hongshang, but if the strap was tightened, it could also be worn, this leather armor was made very exquisitely, the armor of the hard cowhide was repeatedly compacted and painted, light and strong, with a heart shield on the chest, and a thin copper sheet at the joint joint, flexible and light. The waist is a little longer, but it's not a big problem and it doesn't affect movement.

Mu Jinyi's armor finally came in handy, and he was about to follow Mu Hongsheng to the battlefield. Mrs. Mu San looked at Mu Hongsheng, who was dressed in armor, and tears filled her eyes. But she blinked quickly, suppressed the tears in her eyes, and stepped forward to adjust the strap on Mu Hongsheng's shoulder with her own hands.

And Mrs. Mu Si on the side gradually became melancholy. The scene of the son dressed in armor and preparing to go to the north seemed to be right in front of him, and now......

"Ling Yi, this kid, I don't know where I am right now." Fourth Lady Mu sighed softly: "I haven't brought it back for a long time." ”

"The last time my father wrote to me, he said that the fifth brother was in Danzhou." Mu Hongshang replied: "I will inquire when I pass by Danzhou." ”

"Alas!" Old Madam Mu also sighed: "Hongsheng, if you see your fifth brother, tell him to come back quickly." His leg hasn't healed yet. ”

Mu Hongsheng lowered her head and did not answer. The fifth brother will not come back, she knows very well. Otherwise, he would not have decisively turned back to the north in the first place.

"Grandmother, fourth uncle," Mu Hongshang finally raised her head? Old Lady Mu and Fourth Lady Mu smiled: "Don't you worry? I'll bring the words to you. ”

Bring the words, but will not urge Mu Lingyi to come back. Mrs. Mu understands what her granddaughter means? She also understands the children's feelings. So she didn't say anything more? just nodded at Mu Hongsheng.

"Fourth daughter-in-law, don't you worry? Old Madam Mu comforted Mrs. Mu Si: "Ling Yi's legs are not good, can't go to the battlefield?" Right now, it's about the Danzhou General's Mansion. Come on? Hongshang is going to leave tomorrow, and our house is also lively today, holding a small banquet for Hongsheng. ”

"Okay." Gu Yilan immediately stood up: "Daughter-in-law Sun will order to go down." ”

"Red clothes? Come here. Old Madam Mu beckoned to Mu Hongsheng? Mu Hongsheng, who was dressed in armor, leaned over, just like usual, and leaned obediently into Mrs. Mu's arms. It's just that she was wearing armor, and Mrs. Mu felt a little panicked when she hugged her, but Mrs. Mu didn't care? She reached out and held her granddaughter firmly in her arms as before.

"Good to go? Good back. Mrs. Mu said with a smile: "When you go home, grandmother will open the front door to welcome you." Our red clothes are also General Muhammad? In the future, when the general returns home, he will also go through the main gate? Over the atrium. ”

"Okay." Mu Hongshang nodded? He looked up and smiled at Old Madam Mu: "It's decided?" Grandmother is not allowed to say that it doesn't count. I'm also going to go all the way to Wuyingtang through the main gate. ”

"Early tomorrow morning, you will go to Wuyingtang to burn incense for the ancestors," Mrs. Mu patted her granddaughter on the back: "I beg them to bless you with peace on the battlefield." This is the rule of our General Muhammad's expedition, but we are not allowed to break the rules. ”

"Grandmother, don't worry," Mu Hongsheng nodded: "I know." ”

"Grandmother will personally send you out of the house tomorrow," said Mrs. Mu again, "just like sending your brother back then." The last general of our family, Muhammad, is finally about to go on the expedition. In the future, this house will ......"

Old Madam Mu began to choke a little as she spoke, she quickly stopped her mouth, reached out and patted the back of her granddaughter's head, and pressed her head against her shoulder socket.

Cuiyun and Cuiliu, who were standing behind Old Madam Mu, couldn't help but start shedding tears, and Mama Wang glared at them, but it was not convincing at all, because even her own eyes were red.

"I ......" Gu Yilan's tears had overflowed her eyes, she hurriedly turned around and walked out as if she was disguised, and said in a trembling voice: "I'll go to the kitchen, go to the kitchen......"

Duchess An Guo was very calm, she turned to Chunhui and asked, "Has the eldest lady's luggage been checked?" ”

"I've ordered it a few times." Chun Hui replied in a low voice: "The cloth robe that the embroidery girls made overnight has been ready, just wait for the lady to look at it, and then put it away." ”

Duchess An Guo nodded, but did not answer, she turned her head and looked at her daughter, who was dressed in armor but had not taken off her childishness, and then lowered her head, hiding all the reluctance and sadness in her eyes.

The family banquet in Anguo Mansion was very lively, and the banquet was full of Mu Hongsheng's favorite dishes, and Mrs. Mu also specially invited all the gentlemen in the family to come and make a strong trip for Mu Hongsheng. Because Mu Hongshang was going to go on the second day, there was no wine at the banquet, and everyone blessed Mu Hongsheng with tea instead of wine.

Old Madam Mu sat in the center with a smile, but she barely ate anything. Duchess An Guo is the same, the plates and bowls in front of her are empty, but she has been personally serving her daughter vegetables.

Because Mu Hongshang had to get up early on the second day, the banquet ended early. Mu Hongshang accompanied Mrs. Mu back to her courtyard, and as soon as she entered the courtyard gate, she found that Master Huiming was standing in the middle of the courtyard, as if he was looking carefully at a flower tree.

"You're here." Old Madam Mu was not surprised, and nodded slightly towards Huiming: "The luggage has been sorted out?" If you don't have anything missing, you're welcome, I'll let someone prepare. ”

"Where are the monks so exquisite." Hui Ming smiled and folded her hands together and saluted: "With a cloth coat and a pair of monk shoes, you can go all over the world." ”
