Zhao Darong squeezed out a little smile on his face, and glanced at Yuanyuan, "Yuanyuan, you go back to the yard to play, I have something to tell your mother." ”

It was urgent, and he had to say it quickly.

Tian Mai's heart chuckled, and after her daughter went out, she walked up to him and raised her head to look at him, "What's wrong?" What happened? ”

If it weren't for something serious, he wouldn't let his daughter avoid it.

Zhao Darong stretched out his hand to hug her and sighed lightly, "The barbarian country is back again, and the emperor ordered me to go on an expedition." ”

The situation at the border is getting more and more severe, and if it drags on any longer, I am afraid that the city will be broken.

I don't know what the situation is in the Barbarian Country? How fierce it is more than in previous years.

There is a kind of play that is not afraid of death.

Tian Mai frowned tightly, "When will you leave?" ”

"Today."

"In such a hurry?"

Zhao Darong nodded and said that there was no way, the situation was too urgent, and he had to set off immediately.

Tian Mai held back her tears and nodded heavily, "I'll go and clean up for you." ”

No matter how worried she is, no matter how reluctant she is, she can't help it.

"Okay, there is not much time, so the emperor gave an hour to come back and say goodbye."

They should strive to go to the border gates as soon as possible so that the crisis at the border gates can be resolved.

Tian Mai took a deep breath, suppressed the sourness in his heart, and turned around to clean up his things.

He had to rush to the border as soon as possible, and he couldn't bring too many things, so she packed two sets of clothes for him and some medicine.

Zhao Darong walked over and took a look, hugged her from behind, and gently rubbed her neck, "Don't worry, I will pay attention to safety, and I will definitely come back safely." ”

For the sake of his wife, he must also come back safely.

Tian Mai's tears slipped down his eyes, turned around and hugged his waist/body, and told him in a choked voice that he must come back safely and not leave them behind.

She thought that their family could live in the capital safely, but she didn't expect that there would be another war.

He's going to war again.

Every time he went to battle, she had to be scared, for fear that he would never return.

Zhao Darong hugged her tightly, nodded heavily, and answered.

The husband and wife hugged each other tightly for a moment, Tian Mai looked up at him and asked him if the fox was going?

"Go, after we leave, you go and bring the Qian family to live in the general's mansion, otherwise, the fox will not be at ease."

"Good!"

She was not at ease either.

Besides, she and Qian can chat more to ease the worries in their hearts.

She babbled so much on and on that she felt that it was almost enough, so she opened the door and went to call the three children.

Yuan Yuan came the fastest, she looked at her father and mother twice, "Daddy, are you hiding something from us?" ”

Why does my mother seem to have cried?

Zhao Darong raised his hand and touched his round head, "After Dad goes to the border gate, you are at home, take care of your mother, you know?" ”

Go to the border?

Yuan Yuan's eyes widened, "Dad, why are you going to the border gate?" Is there a war? ”

Zhao Darong nodded yes.

Is there a war at the border?

When did it happen?

Why didn't Brother Huo tell her?

"Yes...... Is it critical? Otherwise, how can you send your father on the expedition? ”

Zhao Darong didn't hide it from her, nodded yes, and said that he would leave later.

Yuanyuan was a little stunned by the sudden news.

I don't know what happened to Brother Huo? Are there any injuries?

"Dad, I want to go to the border with you." Zhuang Zhuang heard what Zhao Darong said, strode in, and spoke in a resolute tone.

Without waiting for Zhao Darong to speak, Tian Mai shook his head in disagreement.

Zhao Darong went to the border gate, which was enough to worry her, and if her eldest son went again, she would be even more worried.

Asking about them all day long, she's going crazy.

"Mother, I really want to go." Zhuang Zhuang glanced at Tian Wheat guiltily, but his heart remained unchanged.

He didn't want to see his mother's disappointed eyes, so he studied hard and went to the Xiucai test and the exam.

After passing the exam, he stopped thinking about continuing to take the exam.

I want to find an opportunity to tell my mother that he is going to the border.

I didn't expect the opportunity to come so quickly.

He didn't want to miss this opportunity, so he could only be sorry for his mother.

Zhao Darong looked at him with a serious face and asked him if he really wanted to go?

Zhuang Zhuang also had a serious face and nodded yes.

"Okay, then go."

Since the son doesn't want to be a civil official, then become a military attaché.

He wants to fight, and he doesn't stop him when he is a father.

"However, you have to be mentally prepared, this battle is not a small fight, and it is very likely that it will never go back."

"Dad, I'm mentally prepared."

He also grew up at the border, how could he not know the cruelty of war?

It was precisely knowing the cruelty of war that he wanted to go to the battlefield.

As long as other countries are beaten to the ground, and the fight can no longer raise the slightest intention of aggression/aggression, will the sacrifice be reduced.

"It's good if you're mentally prepared."

With Zhao Darong's promise, it is meaningless for Tian Mai to oppose it.

She closed her eyes vigorously and wiped the tears from her face, "Go well, come back well, don't miss a single hair, do you hear?" ”

Knowing that Tian Mai also agreed to him, Zhuang Zhuang pursed the corners of his mouth, nodded solemnly and said yes.

He won't let his mother worry, he will definitely pay attention to safety, and he will come back without missing arms and legs.

"Mother, go and clean up your things."

"No, mother, I'll just pack up two sets of clothes by myself, and you can talk to your father more."

With that, he strode out of the room.

Tian Mai looked at his back and sighed helplessly.

The child can't help it, and she can't manage it if she wants to.

I hope that their father and son can come back safely.

Zhao Darong squeezed her hand and looked at his youngest son, "Tuanzi, after I leave with your eldest brother, you will be the pillar of the family, you must take care of your mother and them, you know?" ”

Tuanzi had a serious smile on his face, patted his chest hard, and said that he knew that he would take care of his mother and sister.

"Daddy believes in you." Zhao Darong bowed his head, gave him another explanation, and saw him nod, so he relaxed slightly.

After Zhuang Zhuang packed up his little baggage, Zhao Darong took him to say goodbye to Tian Wheat and them, and set off for the border pass.

After they left, Tian Mai cleaned up his mood, took Yuanyuan to find the Qian family, and took the three of them to live in the general's mansion.

In the following days, Tian Mai paid attention to the situation at the border every day, and he never let go of his heart.

Maybe the emperor also wanted to warn others, and often asked the queen to announce that she would sit in the palace for a while.

After outsiders found out, they didn't dare to bully their mothers at will.

In this way, this battle was fought for two years in one fight.

Tian Mai was worried for two years, and finally heard the good news that Zhao Darong had completely destroyed the barbarian country and was preparing to return to the dynasty.

"Mother, are Daddy and eldest brother coming back?" Yuan Yuan also heard the news and happily ran to ask Tian Wheat.

Tian Mai smiled, "Yes, your father and eldest brother are finally coming back." ”

She has been really worried for two years since they went to the border gate.

Thankfully, they were safe and sound, and they would be back soon.

Yuanyuan slapped her palms and said excitedly that she was going to prepare for her father and eldest brother.

I don't know if Brother Huo will come back?

Thinking of Huo Xuan, who she hadn't seen for seven years, she felt a little uncomplicated in her heart, and she didn't know how to express it?

Tian Mai looked at her daughter, who was taller than her, stretched out her hand and pinched her cheek, "When your father comes back, I will show you a future husband." ”

The daughter is seventeen years old, which is not too small in ancient times.

For the past two years, she has been trying to show her, and she has been shirking.

Seeing that she insisted, she didn't force her and let her go.

After the father-in-law comes back, he will first worry about his eldest son's family affairs, and then worry about his daughter.

This matter cannot be delayed any longer.

Yuan Yuan pouted, "Mother, what are you talking about?" I don't get married, so I stay at home with my parents. ”

"Really? Even if Brother Huo comes to ask you to marry you, you won't marry? The group standing outside the door heard Yuanyuan's words and couldn't help but laugh at her.

Yuan Yuan turned his head to look at him, reached out and pinched him, telling him not to talk nonsense.

Fifteen-year-old Tuanzi is the best-looking among the three brothers and sisters, and he is also the best reader, and he won the promotion at the age of fifteen.

His father and brother were away from home for two years, and he, as the only man in the family, took on the responsibilities of the family.

At a young age, his mind is very mature and calm.

If it weren't for the fact that the elder sister on his head hadn't gotten married, I'm afraid the threshold of the General's Mansion would have been broken by the matchmaker.

In the capital, who doesn't know that the second son of the General's Mansion is good-looking and has a bright future.

Tuanzi pursed his lips, stopped teasing her, and went to talk to Tian Mai instead.

Tian Mai was anxious to know about her daughter, so she sent her son away in a few words, and looked at her red-cheeked daughter, "Yuanyuan, you ...... Is it intentional about Huo Xuan? ”

A few years ago, she knew that her daughter had correspondence with Huo Xuan, but later it was not very clear.

She didn't go out of her way to ask about her daughter's privacy.

Yuan Yuan quickly glanced at Tian Wheat, hesitant, I don't know what to say?

She hadn't seen Huo Xuan for seven years, and she didn't know what he had become?

I don't know what he looks at her?

Is there any interest in her?

Tian Mai cleared his throat and changed his words, "Have you been communicating for the past few years?" ”

"Hmm......" Yuan Yuan admitted, bowing her head, "not often." "I also receive his birthday gift on time every year.

When she got older, she didn't tell her mother, for fear that her mother would prevent her from communicating.

After all...... After all, for the girl's family, it's a bit out of line.

Tian Mai also came from the girl's house, how could he not know the girl's thoughts?

"If he comes to the door to ask for marriage, you also want to marry, and your mother will not stop you." After a pause, "If he doesn't come to the door to ask for marriage, you ...... Just cut off contact with him, okay? ”

This is not modern after all, and if outsiders know about it, it will be a devastating blow to her daughter's reputation.

She didn't want that to happen.
