Being a father is one of life's great joys.

Of course, there are exceptions, such as when a husband who has been absent for a long time comes in and finds that his wife has raised someone else's child.

It's not joy, it's just surprise.

Today's Wu Ya'er is like the latter.

A wife who has the name of husband and wife but not husband and wife has sent more than a dozen children, and the children can still laugh and grow up.

What's the matter, become a father?

"There are many orphans who have been exiled to Gwangju Province, and the young lady has taken in some of them." Jiang Ming, who came with him, was so honest that his face was full of excitement, and conveyed the good news to everyone, "Originally, I stayed in the house and raised it, and I could do what I could, but I didn't expect it, the children were extremely capable, they entered the military camp to practice martial arts, and they have achieved something in a short period of time. ”

He took out a thick scroll, and the two attendants behind him took it and slowly unfolded a long painting.

"Governor, please see." Jiang Ming stretched out his hand to invite and introduced the story on the painting, "This is the sad picture of Mrs. Chu seeing orphans working." ”

The first of the long paintings depicts a section of the city wall, with men at work, children standing barefoot, and a woman leaning over to examine their feet, her back to the crowd, and only a graceful figure.

Mrs. Wu Shao saw that the orphans were pitiful, so she took them back to the house, and the next picture became a courtyard, the winter courtyard children were scattered, some were arranging flowers and trees, some were wiping tables and chairs, a woman was sitting behind the draped curtain, holding a book in her hand with her head down, and children were standing in front of her, holding a dusty teacup of fragrant fruit.

Then they arrived at the barracks, where the short children wore wide uniforms or practiced standing or walking in formation, some gritted their teeth and stood upright, some sat on the ground and hugged their heads and cried, the atmosphere was panicked and nervous.

This is followed by the children growing up, riding horses, wielding knives, drawing bows and archery......

"Dad, this is me."

"Daddy, look, I'm this."

"Dad, I'm better at riding now."

The children kneeling on the ground also rushed over and crowded around Wu Ya'er, pointing to the person on the painting to introduce themselves, without the slightest restraint in their words, they were not meeting for the first time, but the father and son who had reunited after a long absence.

Wu Ya'er's ears were full of voices, and her arms were chaotic, and she only felt that the already complicated paintings were even more complicated, so she looked directly at the last one.

The last picture shows two women sitting under the porch at the door, a group of children kneeling in the courtyard and bowing, surrounded by many people, including servants, soldiers, and officials, all smiling, talking and stroking their palms.

Wu Ya'er's eyes fell on the woman sitting in the front, the mother was wearing a spring dress, leaning on a table, with melons, fruits, tea and wine piled up at her feet, and a chessboard flower card carefully, although it was a painting, but it revealed the traces of daily use, the mother's face smiled, and one hand raised to signal the children to get up.

Behind her, Mrs. Wu Shao sat with green vines hanging down on the eaves of the corridor covering her face, and she only saw clothes as light as clouds, looming like a fairy like a fantasy.

"Governor, Mrs. Wu has a son, and Mrs. Sun Wu has a son, and Gwangju Mansion is a big celebration for three days." Jiang Ming seemed to be still immersed in the scene at that time, and raised his hand to wipe his tears of excitement, "The young lady wanted to keep them by her side, but thinking that the governor was alone, she and her wife were comforted, so she sent the children to the governor's knees to fulfill their filial piety." ”

The children surrounding Wu Ya'er shouted chaotically: "Daddy, the children are filial piety to their father." "Daddy, the child will follow you to train and kill the enemy." "We'll help Daddy kill the enemy."

The other generals who were already dumbfounded when they were squeezed around were called back to their senses, Daddy, the child's ears, couldn't help swallowing saliva, strange things happen every year, and there are many more this year.....

In the blink of an eye, Wu Ya'er had a wife and children.

It's not one, everyone's sight is a lot, thirteen.....

Well, do you follow your father to kill the enemy? A general looked at the picture, and then looked at the children surrounding Wu Ya'er, and finally found the unreasonable, stood up and shouted, "Wait a minute, wait a minute." ”

And all the men looked at him.

"The young lady has a heart." The general considered the language, "Thirteen children are filial piety to the governor, and it is very good to practice martial arts and join the army, but I think there are only nine people in this painting." ”

His gaze fell on the children surrounding Wu Ya'er, although it was only a few glances, the children's general personalities had been preliminarily distinguished, among them was a boy who was thin and quiet, and it was not against the three girls to stand together.

These four people appear in the painting, and they never wield knives and guns.

"You don't practice martial arts, do you? And girls. The general looked embarrassed, "Now they are all fighting, and the governor is also fighting everywhere, so it's inconvenient for you to follow around." ”

The others also reacted and said, "Yes, it's too dangerous." "I can't take care of you on the march." "It's still appropriate to be by the young lady's side."

Jiang Ming laughed: "These four children are not ordinary, don't look at one thin, three girls, they can't hold knives and guns, but they are amazing." ”

Blow? Scam? Coax? What's so great about having four children? Everyone looked at the four people, the thin child was still quiet, because he was looked at by everyone, he lowered his head in fright, and the three girls were downright and generous.

"Daddy, the little bowl is amazing."

"Daddy, Xiaowan is a doctor, he can heal the wounded soldiers."

"Thank you, the small bowl can bring back the broken arm and leg."

"Daddy, Ah Miao, Ah You, Ah Qiao follow the little bowl to learn, and it can be amazing."

The other children once again surrounded Wu Ya'er and gossiped.

You can't hear what they say, only a voice of Daddy, Daddy, Daddy...... Headache.

"Dudu, these children are very good, they are not afraid of hardships and are determined to make a career." Jiang Ming said solemnly, "The young lady believes that they will do better with the governor, so she entrusts them to the governor." ”

Say goodbye.

The children also took a step back and knelt down again.

"Daddy, please stay with us."

"We won't let my father and mother down."

Wu Ya'er looked at the children kneeling on the ground, what else could he say? Can he return a gift from his wife?

Wu Ya'er smiled: "Okay, get up, stay all." ”

The children jumped up and surrounded Wu Ya'er, some holding his arms, some holding his legs, laughing and shouting.

"Thank you, Daddy."

"Daddy is so nice."

"Daddy is as good as mother."

Jiang Ming looked at this scene with tears in his eyes with a smile, and sighed to the generals around him: "It's really happy, it's happy." Then he asked, "Do you have any painters here?" Draw this scene and I will take it back to the lady and the young lady to see. ”

What is an artist? Can you fight? Can you eat it? The general stretched out his hand and pressed his forehead, what are these people doing?

......

.......

"Some of these children have changed their surnames to Wu, and some of them still retain their original surnames." Jiang Ming stood in the hall and gave Wu Ya'er a detailed introduction again, handing over the roster of these children.

Wu Ya'er flipped it over and saw that there were portraits inside, origins, birthdays, and so on.

"The young lady specially prepared it for the governor." Jiang Ming said with a smile.

Wu Ya'er smiled and put down the album: "She has a heart." ”

Jiang Ming said: "Then I'll go back first?" ”

Wu Ya'er said: "You wait a while, I will write a letter to her." ”

Jiang Ming smiled and retreated, and the other people in the room immediately rushed up and gossiped.

"Raven, what's this called?"

"How do you send a bunch of half-grown children?"

"Why are you still allowed to take the child?"

Wu Ya'er patted the album: "This is not for me to take the child, this is for the child to wait for me." ”

In lieu of? What do you mean? Everyone was puzzled, how could these children replace Wu Ya'er? Just kidding.

Wu Ya'er said: "Because they are my righteous sons." ”

Some generals pouted: "What's wrong with Yizi?" How can Yoshiko replace you....."

Wu Ya'er interrupted him, clasped his hands, and smiled slightly: "What if I die?" ”

Originally, the power of official positions and military power could not be regarded as a son inheriting his father's business, but now everything is a different matter in troubled times, not to mention that there are ready-made examples.

Jiannan Dao Li Feng'an died, and his son, a ten-year-old child, inherited his father's business and became the envoy of Jiannan Dao Jiedu appointed by the emperor.

If Wu Ya'er died, he would not have a parent, but he would have a righteous son.

If the sons of the righteous are still fighting with him in the army, then there is nothing wrong with his soldiers and horses being inherited by his sons of the army.

Everyone in the hall was stunned and stunned.

This, this, this..... How did this come about? They couldn't say anything for a while.

Wang Li, who came from outside the house and sat on the floor in the house, finally spoke at this time.

"Admire." He muttered.
