With her husband's words, the third lady suddenly had no idea, she knew her son's temperament best, and she also knew the secret of her son, which even her husband didn't know.

The old lady asked her grandson, "With fairness, can it be done?" ”

Zhu Rong said: "Leave him in the capital, have nothing to do at home, and I can't stand listening to some gossip, and I will eventually get into trouble." The grandson took him, and the three chapters of the law were agreed, and the military regulations were as big as the sky, and the orders and prohibitions should not be ambiguous, and it was better to be restrained than at home. ”

Zhu Chengzhe looked at his wife: "You have an idea, right?" ”

The third lady, who was covering her mouth with a handkerchief and didn't dare to cry, looked at her husband blankly: "Me? ”

Zhu Chengzhe bowed his head: "I can't make you sad, if you don't agree, we will leave our son, there is always another way to teach him well." ”

The third lady crumpled the veil and looked at the old lady: "Mother......"

The mother-in-law said gently: "I also listen to you, this is the son you raised with hard work." ”

"I, I ......" Thinking of the bloody clothes in her son's closet, the third lady couldn't help trembling, weighed the trade-offs again and again, and said with tears in her eyes, "I can't control him anymore, then, then let Rong'er take him to the barracks, tell him to suffer some hardships, and he will definitely be obedient when he comes back." ”

After speaking, she looked at her husband helplessly, and was hugged by Zhu Chengzhe and leaned on her shoulder.

The old lady instructed Zhu Rong: "Don't let him rush ahead, he ......"

But in the latter words, the old grandmother couldn't bear to say any more, and suddenly two pieces of heart and liver were going to charge, and she didn't want to say any unlucky words.

Zhu Rong bowed to his third uncle and aunt and solemnly promised: "After the war is over, my nephew will definitely bring peace and security home." ”

In the ancestral hall, Pingli, who was sitting cross-legged in front of the ancestral tablet, had not seen his family to deal with him for a long time, and sang a small song humming from the mouths of the girls on Flower Street boredly.

Suddenly, I asked behind me: "Serious endorsement is almost killing you, you remember this obscene song quickly." ”

Pingli hurriedly knelt down on Zhou Zheng, lowered his head and didn't dare to talk back.

"Get down!" Zhu Rong scolded coldly.

Pingli trembled, felt aggrieved and helpless, although he was reluctant and did not dare to resist, he honestly lay down.

There was a soft sound of "pop", and Pingli subconsciously tensed his body, but he only received a slight slap on his buttocks, and there was no second blow.

He turned his head to see that his brother was sitting down on the futon beside him, and there was nothing in his hand.

Zhu Rong said: "For the sake of your obedience, this beating is owed first, otherwise it will be broken, how can you ride a horse and travel far." ”

Pingli looked dazed, turned this sentence in his heart, got up suddenly, and asked the third brother overjoyed: "Do you want to take me to war, to fight the Zanxi people?" ”

Zhu Rong said: "Report to the emperor tomorrow, you can only follow after the emperor's favor, don't be too happy too early, if you can't go, and you can't study, just wait to be beaten to death by the third uncle." ”

"Brother, brother!" Pingli was so excited, he couldn't wait to stand up and cheer, the young man had no fear on his face, the newborn calf was not afraid of tigers, "The emperor will agree, you can talk more for me, and let the uncle also talk about it for me?" ”

Zhu Rong said: "Kneel to the ancestors and ancestors and listen to me." ”

Pingli was stunned, but he still did as his brother said.

Zhu Rong said: "I swear here, after entering the barracks, you must not act without authorization, you must not violate military orders, even if the front is in full swing, even if the eldest brother-in-law and I are on the line of life and death, I want you to cook in the rear, you must do it honestly, otherwise, not only will the military law deal with it, I will immediately send you back to the capital." ”

Pingli turned around and saw his brother's serious face, so he also got serious and solemnly swore to his ancestors and ancestors that the army would obey military orders and never act without authorization.

Zhu Rong said: "I will not tolerate and connive, if you don't listen to the order once, you can only go back to Beijing, don't want to ask me for accommodation, I also swore to the third uncle and aunt, and grandma, I will definitely bring you home safely." ”

Pingli kowtowed to his ancestors and ancestors, turned around and said, "Don't say that in the military camp, from childhood to adulthood, when will I not listen to you?" ”

Zhu Rong said: "Where did the silver come from to drink flower wine, the son of the Hubu Shangshu family was harmed by you, and he may not be able to go to school, and the brothers of the family did not hesitate to break their arms for you, do you want to go?" ”

"It was an accident to break my arm, that kid is too stupid, but we are angry." Pingli looked stunned, and when he saw that his brother raised his hand to beat him, he honestly reined in.

Zhu Rong asked, "Where did the silver come from?" The old bustard of Flower Street said that you spent a lot of money? I only gave you a hundred taels. ”

"I saved it myself." Pingli said, "I took it out as a last resort, I am the son of the Duke's Palace, and a thousand taels is nothing." ”

Zhu Rong smiled coldly: "Don't say yes, right?" ”

Ping Li swallowed: "I'm telling the truth. ”

"Your sister-in-law gave it?" Zhu Rong slapped his younger brother on the head, "Bastard, how difficult her situation is, don't you really know?" I was punished by your uncle at every turn, and the futon you knelt on was going to be kneeled out of a pit by her, and you still rolled her in. ”

Pingli insisted: "It has nothing to do with my sister-in-law, I saved it myself." ”

Zhu Rong nodded: "Then remember, you have to say this to everyone, don't involve your sister-in-law." ”

He got up to leave, and Pingli followed, and was glared at: "Where to go, kneel, do you think you don't have to be punished?" ”

Pingli nervously asked, "My dad is still coming to beat me?" ”

Zhu Rong sighed: "In order not to marry the fourth prince, Yunzhi deliberately embarrassed himself in the palace and made jokes, and did not hesitate to ruin his reputation, do you know this?" ”

Pingli said: "Of course, she is much better at studying than me, and even I know Chanjuan's words to Mingyue." ”

Zhu Rong said: "For this reason, she was scolded by the eldest sister so bloody, and warned your third sister-in-law that you are not allowed to use such stupid methods in order to make a living, otherwise your sister-in-law will be punished together." ”

Pingli suddenly became nervous: "You told my sister?" ”

In the middle of the night, the Zhongguo Mansion finally returned to tranquility, Pingluo returned to Dongyuan, saw his wife waiting in front of the door, and hurriedly stepped forward and said: "It's so cold, why don't you wait in the house." ”

Chu Xue asked, "Did you find it?" ”

Ping Luo shook his head and said angrily: "That kid, sooner or later, I will have to clean him up." ”

Chu Xue smiled: "It's good to come back, don't scare your younger brother anymore, the third uncle and aunt are also worried." ”

Ping Luo looked at his parents' bedroom, where the lights had been extinguished.

"Father is in Aunt May's room tonight." Hatsuyuki said.

"Hmm." Ping Luo replied lightly.

"Xianggong, you don't look happy." Hatsuyuki asked, "Is it troublesome to be fair?" ”

Ping Luo shook his head: "I'm just thinking, the younger brothers are more promising than the other, Rui'er dares to abandon the glory and wealth to chase freedom, Rong'er enters and exits the court and is reused by the emperor, and now he can fight with the army as he wishes, Pingli seems to be foolish, he is an excellent child, he has ideas and measures to do things, Ping'er is now studying better and better, I heard that the talent is extremely high." ”

Chu Xue stood still, her eyes full of gentleness: "You have the advantages of your younger brothers, but you are the eldest son and the eldest brother, you can't be reckless, you must be comprehensive." Since it is comprehensive, there will not be any place that shines in particular, at first glance, it looks mediocre, but it is by no means really mediocre. ”

Ping Luo sneered: "I don't see you speak so neatly on weekdays." ”

"If it weren't for the stability of the eldest brother, the grandmothers and elders could have hope for everything, how could the younger brothers be unbridled and chic." Chu Xue said, "Xianggong, in my heart, you are the best." ”

Ping Luo smiled bitterly: "Yes, as long as I am the best in the eyes of my lady, it is enough." ”

They were about to go to the bedroom, not far away the light in the mother's room suddenly turned on, a figure appeared in front of the door, the maid on duty at night rushed up to ask, soon found out, saw the son and the young lady, said, "Madame just asked, have you come back?" ”

Ping Luo asked his wife to go back to the room first, and came with the maid alone, but when he entered the door, he saw a pile of boxes on the ground, and he asked, "Yunzhi's dowry?" Isn't it already packed? ”

The second lady smiled awkwardly: "I thought about it again, whether to use a large box, which looks atmospheric, or to use a small box, it looks like there are a lot of them, and they are turned upside down, and they haven't had time to clean it up yet." ”

Ping Luo said: "Let Chuxue help clean up tomorrow, don't be tired." ”

The second lady said: "What kind of tiredness is this, by the way, how is the West Garden, have you found it?" ”

After a few simple explanations, Ping Luo helped his mother to lie down.

The second lady grabbed her son's hand and said, "Luo'er, your brother is gone, your sister is married, and you are the only one left by your mother's side, and you have to move into the yard to live." You promise your mother, don't go farther, don't leave your mother. ”

Ping Luo folded the quilt for his mother and asked, "Don't think nonsense, my son won't leave you." ”

The second lady said with tears in her eyes: "I heard that Pingli is gone, if it was in the past, I might not have gloated and watched Xiyuan's jokes, but I have been thinking about Pingrui all night, this day is getting colder and colder, I am worried that he can have cotton clothes to keep out the cold, but there is a bowl of hot soup to warm up." ”

Ping Luo patiently persuaded: "I must think of another way to find him, rummag through the entire Great Qi, and find his whereabouts, no matter what, I want him to give you an explanation." ”

The second lady was in pain: "My son, where are you ......"
