Chapter 396: Everyone in the Jing family must serve the country
It was late when he returned home from the Nine Kings' Mansion, and Er'er and Yueyue had been playing for a day, and they were already asleep when they got out of the carriage.
An Ge walked in front, Ning Jiu and Xiang'er walked behind, and when they were about to reach the courtyard, Ning Jiu said to Xiang'er: "You are also tired for a day, go and rest first, Madame can have me here." ”
Xiang'er lowered her head, didn't answer, and didn't stop her footsteps, still walking straight forward.
Ning Jiu felt that she was a little strange, stopped in her footsteps, and shouted again in a slightly louder voice: "Xiang'er? ”
Xiang'er stopped at this time, and looked back confused: "Huh? ”
Ning Jiu sighed lightly: "Look at you, why can't you give up?" Isn't it too tired? ”
Xiang'er nodded, "um".
Ning Jiu smiled: "Xin'er has been sick recently, it's really hard for you, go back and rest." ”
Xiang'er answered, looked up and saw that Ning Jiu was leaving, and suddenly called out to her: "Aunt Jiu......"
Ning Jiu looked back at her, "What else do you have to do?" ”
"I'm ......" Xiang'er hesitated for a long time and asked cautiously, "Today in the Nine Kings' Mansion, someone misunderstood me...... Isn't Madame angry about this? ”
She began to worry and panic when the lady said that she was good-looking and looked like a general's concubine, after all, when she was a concubine in the Cui family before, whenever Master Cui praised her for her good looks, the lady of the Cui family would torture her in a different way.
Her appearance is indeed not bad, but it has never brought her any benefit, only a succession of disasters.
Fortunately, An Ge didn't dislike her, and gave her a job so that she could support herself and her daughter, the general's mansion was good to her subordinates, and I don't know how many times better the life here was better than when she was a concubine in the Cui family, she really wanted to do it well......
If An Ge was also jealous of her for that sentence, how could it be good?
She nervously waited for Ning Jiu's reply, Ning Jiu had been with An Ge for the longest time, and he must know her best.
Ning Jiu looked at her quietly for a while, then suddenly smiled and said, "I really don't know what to say about you, you are really good-looking, but you are still quite far from your wife." ”
Seeing Xiang'er's embarrassed face, Ning Jiu changed his words again, "I speak more straightforwardly, don't mind, you are just good-looking, but you lack the temperament of a lady." The status of our general, this power, the beauties who pounced on him, and the beauties that others tried to give him, are as many as stars, do you know, why did you choose Mrs.? ”
She paused, saw Xiang'er bow her head in shame, and continued: "Because Madame has not only appearance, but also ability, not to mention how much help Jingbao has brought to the general, just Madame's behavior and Madame's awareness of government politics are not something that a woman like you has." ”
Xiang'er was extremely ashamed of what she said, her eyes were red, and she nodded again and again: "Thank you Jiugu for your advice, I thought too much, and I will never think cranky in the future." ”
Ning Jiu said with a smile: "If you ask it, it proves that you don't have this idea, which is also a good thing, don't worry, I won't tell Madame, you go back and rest." ”
After saying that, Ning Jiu hurriedly hugged Er'er back to the room.
At night, the husband and wife chatted together, and also talked about the daytime...... An Ge said helplessly: "Pingle also said that Xiang'er is not very relieved to have such a good-looking maid by his side, and said that there is not a good-looking maid in their family. ”
After hearing this, Jing Lan laughed and said: "Mrs. Xu thinks about it a lot, beauty and ugliness are compared, you are so beautiful, any other woman is a vulgar powder in my eyes, a pink skeleton." ”
“…… When did you learn to be so oily and smooth? An Ge said angrily, raised his hand and lightly hammered him into a fist, paused, and frowned again, "Xiang'er, I'm not worried, but my daughter Yueyue and I'm a little uneasy......"
"What's wrong with Yueyue?"
"Yueyue plays with Er'er all day long, I'm afraid Er'er won't want to make progress."
Jing Lan rubbed her eyebrows and said, "Are you afraid that Er'er will fall in love with Yueyue and ask her to be her daughter-in-law?" ”
An Ge glared at him: "Aren't you afraid?" ”
Jing Lan smiled: "What am I afraid of? I don't care what kind of opinions Er'er likes, I agree with whoever Er'er likes, as long as he chooses it himself. ”
An Ge was even more angry: "It's as if I have a door-to-door opinion!" If the two of them really love each other, they will be together, and I will never stop them. But is it the age to fall in love? Do they understand what love is? How old is Er'er, how big is Yueyue? Er'er should study and practice martial arts at this time, and Yueyue also has to study and learn other skills. I'm worried that both of them will lose their minds! ”
Seeing that his daughter-in-law suddenly got angry, Jing Lan hurriedly lowered her head and kissed her, and then praised fiercely: "What my daughter-in-law said is right, she is really far-sighted, fortunately Er'er has a mother like you, otherwise how can you grow up and become a talent?" Don't worry, I will discipline him strictly in the future, if he is young and does not want to make progress and only wants to fall in love, I will beat him hard. ”
An Ge was not so angry, hesitated, and said: "There's no need to beat him, Er'er is well-behaved and obedient, as long as we talk to him well, he will definitely listen." ”
"Okay. Then we'll talk to Er'er early tomorrow morning. ”
An Ge was relieved and nodded in response.
The next day, before dawn, An Ge heard what seemed to be a sound outside, "dong dong dong", which seemed to be mixed with the sound of Er'er screaming in pain.
She sat up, and when she saw that the side was empty, she hurriedly dressed herself and went out.
Pushing open the door, An Ge saw that the father and son were both in the yard, Jing Lan was sitting by the door, holding a wicker in his hand, Er'er was steadily tied to the horse, punching at a small tree stump wrapped in cotton cloth in front of him, his forehead was full of fine sweat, and he didn't know whether it was pain or tiredness, and his little face was wrinkled together.
I don't know how long he punched, An Ge only looked at it for a while, and Er'er's legs began to tremble, and his little face was bruised.
An Ge wanted to rush up and hug his son in distress, but at this time, Jinglan's wicker "snapped" and shook on the stone steps on the side, Er Er was so frightened that he shook violently, and continued to maintain Fang Cai's posture.
The whip didn't fall on Er'er, but it couldn't scare him.
An Ge hurriedly stepped forward to hug his son, turned his head and glared at Jinglan: "Didn't you see that Er'er couldn't hold on anymore?" ”
Jinglan scratched his head...... Last night, she said that she was afraid that Er'er would not learn and have no skills, and she was the one who had always strictly cultivated Er'er, and now that he had really done it, she felt distressed again......
Sure enough, Xiao Ge'er is a knife-mouthed tofu heart.
Er'er gritted her teeth, turned back to An Ge and said, "Mother...... I can hold on, you let me go. I must practice martial arts well. ”
Jing Lan went over and pulled An Ge aside, hugged her and coaxed: "You also want Er'er to have a good time, he must eat this bit of suffering." ”
An Ge was still distressed: "Then, there is a step-by-step process, you made her work so the first day." ”
Jing Lan smiled helplessly: "I'm just going step by step, I only asked him to practice for half an hour on the first day, and one more hour tomorrow, and I didn't ask him to practice all day at the beginning......"
Er Er also comforted An Ge sensibly: "Mother, don't worry...... I...... I want to learn martial arts from my father, and I want to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy! ”
An Ge was relieved and distressed, and couldn't bear to continue to watch his son suffer, so he went to the kitchen to make breakfast for the father and son with the cook.
After she finished it, Er'er also finished practicing, and the next person brought the dim sum porridge and side dishes to the table, and An Ge did it next to Er'er, reached out to pinch his leg and pinched his arm: "Does it hurt?" Is it sour or not? ”
Er Er shook his head: "I'm not tired, after my father goes to court, I still have to study hard, and I want to go to war with my father early!" Mother, I'm really not tired, don't worry. ”
You can rest assured, you can rest assured...... Jing Lan talked to her the most about these three words, and now her son has learned it. At this moment, An Ge suddenly felt that he was the weakest in the family......
After eating, An Ge sent Jinglan out, and Er'er got down from the chair to go to the study.
At this time, Yueyue also got up, just came out of the room, and when she saw Er'er, she happily ran to Er'er's side, took his arm and shook it, and said, "Brother Er'er, go out with me." ”
Er Er took her hand away and said, "Yueyue, my father went out to fight at the age of twelve, I'm almost five years old but I don't know anything, I continue to have fun, don't work hard, how can I be my father's son?" Go play by yourself, I'm going to work hard to learn martial arts. ”
Yue Yue pouted and said coquettishly: "Brother Er'er, what's so fun about practicing martial arts?" Let's go out and eat sugar gourds! ”
Er Er looked like an adult, shook his head and sighed: "I have nothing to say to a child like you who is less than three years old. If you want to play, ask your mother to take you to play. ”
"My mother said that she was a subordinate who wanted to work, and she couldn't go out to play, Brother Er'er, you can go with me!" As she spoke, Yueyue took Er'er's hand again.
Er Er once pushed her hand away and said, "I really can't tell you, I have to go to school, I don't want my father to disappoint me." ”
Seeing that Yueyue was about to cry, he patted her shoulder comfortingly, and said: "My father said, I am different from others, I was born as a member of the Jing family, so I have to protect my family and defend the country. ”
Yueyue pursed her lips, looking like she was about to cry.
Er'er's little man showed a sorrow that did not match his age, sighed, and said, "When you reach my age, you will understand my pressure again." ”
Yueyue didn't know if she would understand when she was two years older, anyway, she didn't understand now, she only felt that Er'er didn't want her anymore, so after Er'er entered the study, she cried and went to find her mother.
Xiang'er originally packed up her clothes and was about to take them to wash, but when she saw her daughter crying, she hurriedly put down her clothes, hugged her and asked, "What's wrong?" Who bullied you? ”
"Brother Er'er doesn't want me anymore, Brother Er'er doesn't play with me anymore......"
Xiang'er was stunned in her heart, Er'er has always had a good relationship with Yueyue all these years, why did she suddenly ignore Yueyue?
Could it be that it was really because Mrs. listened to that sentence at the party in the Nine Kings Mansion yesterday, and her heart responded, so she said bad things about Yueyue to Er'er in private, which caused Er'er to ignore Yueyue?
Xin'er has been sick these days, and now she is still lying in bed, when she heard Yueyue's words, she opened her eyes and said: "Xiang'er, you should also teach Yueyue to be sensible, the little prince is the future marquis, and Yueyue, even if the lady is good to her, she can't forget her identity." You continue to let the two of them do this...... When Yueyue grows up, she is still sad and sad. ”
