Chapter 187 Persuasion
This time, Mu Xiulian lay on the bed for four or five days in a row, and seeing that the day of joining the army had arrived, Qin Ziheng had already registered in the yamen.
If you don't go, it's impossible, so I still have to mention this matter to her again.
"Why don't you go and tell your mother this time." Qin Ziheng was anxious and pulled Chen Youyi's sleeve.
She pouted, piled a pile of firewood into the stove and looked up at him, "I don't want to go, you, who are your own son, only said that you want to join the army, and my mother has become like that." If I go and say, if my mother has a good one, I can't afford it. Don't let me carry this black cauldron, that's hurting me. ”
Qin Ziheng let out a long sigh, leaned on the kitchen door frame and glanced at Mu Xiulian's door, Mu Xiulian's body had improved slightly in the past two days.
Occasionally, they would go outside the house to bask in the sun, and they didn't mention joining the army again these days.
"What a better time to do now! I always have to tell my mother about this. ”
Chen Youyi glanced back at him, preparing the food on the board, "If the mother is really reluctant to let you go, you can not go, talk to Lord Xu from the mansion, and he will definitely be tolerant." ”
She said this, but in her heart she knew that he wanted to go and couldn't stop him. Annette Mu's side is the biggest headache.
Qin Ziheng didn't speak, he thought quietly for a while, and in his heart, he still planned to rush into the house and tell Mu Xiulian about it.
When he rushed out, Chen Youyi grabbed him and pulled him back to the kitchen, blaming him, "Do you still want to hurt our mother once, last time we relieved ourselves, is it possible that you still want him to be angry this time?" ”
"How can I be angry with our mother, but this matter must be said, it is better to say it directly." Qin Ziheng was in a dilemma, and he couldn't think of any other good way.
She shook her head helplessly and said, "Those of you who have been soldiers are straight-minded, can't you just think of a way to turn around?" ”
Qin Ziheng grabbed her hand, "Lady, you have more ideas and more ideas on weekdays, if you have any ideas that can make our mother promise me to join the army, tell me quickly, I'm worried to death these days." ”
She snorted and slapped his hand with a snort, "Leave this matter to me, I made a few good dishes today, you go and call the three brothers of the Wang family and Aunt Li's son together, just say that the family invites them to dinner and doesn't do anything else, just chat." ”
Qin Ziheng didn't know what kind of medicine she was selling in her gourd, and he couldn't understand what the banquet of the three brothers of the Wang family and the son of Aunt Li had to do with his joining the army.
She was about to ask, but she stopped her, "Okay, don't hesitate here, let me go." Make sure that our mother promises you to join the army. ”
He laughed, believed her words, and hurriedly turned around and ran out, and after a while, the three brothers of the Wang family and the son of Aunt Li all came over.
It was originally a neighbor not far away, and it was a few steps back and forth, Wang Da was carrying two pots of wine in his hands, and Aunt Li's son was holding some peanuts in his hands, which seemed to be freshly cut out of the ground.
"You're here, come in and sit down, the meal will be ready soon, you can sit down and talk a few words." Chen Youyi came out of the kitchen and took the things in their hands.
"Please ask Mrs. Qin to help us warm up the wine." Wang laughed.
After that, several people came to the main hall of the house together, Mu Xiulian didn't know that these people were coming, and she also stood up when she saw this.
If Wang Da was very polite, he didn't treat himself as an outsider, and hurriedly helped Mu Xiulian, "Auntie, you sit, we are just here to have a light meal and have a lively time, I hope it didn't disturb your tranquility." ”
"Where, it's common for neighbors to come and go. I'm afraid I'll disturb you. Mu Xiulian said with a smile, and asked Qin Huai to go to the house to get some snacks out.
Everyone knows each other very well and often meets, although Mu Xiulian came down from the capital, and Qin Ziheng used to be a general, and now their identities are the same as ordinary people.
In addition, Chen Youyi is hardworking and virtuous, from the beginning of everyone's jealousy of their family, to the current easy-going, they don't regard them as people who have been big officials in the capital.
A few little brothers chatted, and now the topic is all about joining the army, or the son of Aunt Li first mentioned it, "I go to join the army this time, I must earn a title and come back, if I can be a general like Brother Qin, it will be a matter of glory to the ancestors." ”
Your aunt's son is named Li An, not tall and looks very thin, is the second son of Aunt Li, the eldest has become married, and has a son and a daughter under his knees, because he accidentally broke his leg when he went up the mountain that year, so he was not asked to join the army this time.
Aunt Li was also reluctant to Li An, but fortunately, he also had a son who took care of Li An and especially wanted to join the army, and he also regarded Qin Ziheng as an idol in the past, so he agreed to him.
"With your small body, how can you have that ability, look at our brother Qin, this is the material for being a general." Wang Da on the side interjected, "Brother Qin, you're also going to join the army this time, right?" I heard that you were demoted to a concubine by the emperor, but this decree did not say that you were not allowed to be a soldier. ”
Wang Er also nodded again and again, "Big brother, we will join the army together this time, and we will rely on you to take care of it when the time comes." ”
Qin Ziheng glanced at Mu Xiulian, and when he saw that her face sank, he lowered his head and kept silent.
Wang Da and they said a lot of things, and seeing that he still didn't agree, they also realized what was going on here, but at this moment, Chen Youyi came in with food, and everyone began to help clean up.
"Sit down, I'll do it alone." Chen Youyi shouted to stop them, and didn't need their help.
Wang Da asked the others to sit down, "I'll help Qin Niangzi, you can just sit here and wait for food." When he came to the kitchen, he immediately asked, "Is Brother Qin still going to join the army?" I looked at it like that just now, and I seemed a little hesitant! ”
Chen Youyi pulled him aside and whispered, "It's not my mother's reason, she doesn't want Xianggong to join the army, but Xianggong can't let go of the war, you have two brothers in your family who want to go, and Aunt Li's son is also going, you go and talk about my mother, let her figure out what is going on here." ”
As soon as he heard this, Wang Da immediately understood, it seems that they are invited to eat this meal, and they have something to help, "This matter is on me, I will persuade the eldest mother." ”
The food was good, everyone sat down to eat happily, only Mu Xiulian and Qin Ziheng seemed to be a little stuffy, and no one was willing to speak easily.
