Chapter 408: I'm afraid he won't be able to come back

I thought that the injury on Xie Rongjing's face was quite serious, but now it seems that Xie Rongjing is even more ruthless to his brother!

Both eyes have become panda eyes, and they look angry with a straight face, which is really ......

How funny it looks.

Xie Rongjing snorted coldly, too lazy to take care of him.

Xie Rongzhi slipped his stick, rare and fierce, "Xie Rongjing, go back to study!" ”

"Don't read!"

The unruly young man grabbed Su Jiu's hand and jumped off the wall and ran all the way!

ran to Wuyi Lane, and the rebellious body instantly turned into malaise.

He squatted under the laurel tree, picked up the branches and drew circles, "Su Xiaojiu, I really don't want to study." ”

After a moment of silence, he whispered, "Su Xiaojiu, my sister-in-law is pregnant." ”

Xiao Peilan is pregnant?!

Su Jiu was surprised, and was about to ask carefully, Xie Rongjing said again:

"You don't know how happy my brother was when he heard the news...... I'm happy, but I'm a little uncomfortable. Because my brother's heart is now full of sister-in-law and the child in her womb, my weight in his heart is about a lot lighter...... Su Xiaojiu, if Xiao Huaijin marries a wife and has children in the future, you will feel the same way. ”

Su Jiu can understand this emotion.

She squatted down beside Xie Rongjing, "But no matter how many people there are around your brother, you are very important in his heart." It's not right for you to do it with him because he told him to study. ”

Xie Rongjing was silent.

He knew it was him who was wrong, but he couldn't pull his face to apologize.

After a long time, he threw away the twig, and became even more melancholy:

"There was a conflict between the Beiliang border and Daqi, it seems that it was because their eldest prince died in Daqi, and Daqi couldn't hand over the murderer. Beiliang has officially declared war, our emperor is very tough, threatening to kill a mere prince is nothing, even if Daqi slaughters the Beiliang Imperial Court, it is reasonable. He supports this war, so it won't be long before our country will definitely increase taxes and forced labor. ”

Su Jiu lowered his eyes, a little dazed.

She always felt that the war between the two countries was far away from her.

She'd only read about it in books!

In addition, now rich and noble families can use taxes to offset conscription (in ancient dynasties, taxes could be used to offset conscription, simply put, in order not to be caught and pay more taxes to the state, and exchange money for people), so families like them can basically not participate in military service.

Xie Rongjing suddenly buried his face in the crook of his arm, "Su Xiaojiu, my brother said that he wants to join the army." ”

"Join the army?!"

"Hmmm......"

Xie Rongjing's voice was muffled, "You may not know, although our Xie family is rich and noble, we have never tried to use taxes to offset forced labor.

"My family's ancestral motto is to serve the country and be loyal, and my ancestors have said that the real family glory is never piled up with gold and silver, but in exchange for life. Therefore, our Xie family will be respected by the people of the world, so my aunt can become a concubine in the palace.

"My brother said that now that he has a child and I haven't married a wife yet, then he must be the one who goes to war."

"Su Xiaojiu, I'm actually afraid that he won't be able to come back......"

The boy whimpered suddenly.

Su Jiu patted him on the shoulder, not knowing how to comfort him.

Xie Rongjing is a very awkward person, he did something with his brother, not only because his brother controlled his homework, but more importantly, he didn't want his brother to go to the battlefield.

Xie Rongjing got up and walked towards Xie Mansion in despair.

Su Jiu followed and got up, watching his back disappear from view.

The winter wind is biting, blowing off a few laurel leaves.

In the distance, there was darkness that could not be dissolved, Su Jiu caught a leaf, and a greater cold wind swept in, blowing her skirt into the air.

"It's going to be windy......"

A helpless sound, as if sighing.

……

The day Xie Rongzhi went to join the army, it was a month later.

Su Jiu accompanied Xiao Peilan to see her off, the woman who was pregnant with a two-month fetus was gentle and virtuous, and she was particularly beautiful in a red dress.

In front of the mansion, she straightened Xie Rong's armor, "Zhi, the baby and I are waiting for you to come back!" ”

She has always respected Xie Rongzhi's choice.

He will not use the fetus to hold Xie Rongzhi hostage and not allow him to join the army.

Xie Rongzhi bent down and kissed her still flat belly, "Little girl, when Daddy comes back, I will buy you sugar gourds and nest candy to eat, okay?" ”

Xiao Peilan smiled, "He's still so young, he can't hear you." ”

Xie Rongzhi smiled warmly, "I know that the little obedient can understand." I'll be there for a year or two at the least, or three or five years at the most. Little girl, you have to take good care of your mother, don't make a fuss in her stomach. After birth, you are also not allowed to make trouble with your mother. Otherwise, I'll come back and beat you! ”

After the seven-foot man finished explaining to the unborn baby, he straightened up and looked at his wife.

His wife is as beautiful as an orchid, although she is not a peerless beauty, but she happens to be in his eyes.

Four eyes are worth a thousand words.
