Chapter 353: Determination
Regarding the matter of going to the Northwest Labor Army, Wen Tao already had an idea in his heart.
But at that time, he wanted to go out with his family's expectations and blessings after discussing it with his family.
At that time, his family did not force him to marry, he was full of ambition and pride, and he really wanted to go out and have a good time.
He has long envied Lu Zheng for being able to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, protect his family and defend the country, and make meritorious contributions.
Zheng Zheng man, which one can not have a little blood?
In the early years, he was too young, and his mother was very strict in his care, so he didn't dare to mention that he wanted to go out.
But this year he is seventeen, the same age, and it is time to go out and see each other for a long time.
Which Cheng thought, but at this time, the family was so tough and quick to set him a family.
He was not even given a chance to refuse.
As soon as he thought of this, Wen Tao couldn't help but feel indignant in his heart.
He admitted that he begged to see the emperor this morning and begged the emperor to let him go to the northwest to work in the army, with the mood of being angry with his family.
However, gambling is only part of the story.
He really wanted to get out and about.
As he himself said, he needed to go outside, to a place where he could get away from all these distractions, and to have a good time, to calm down and think about it.
He had to figure out how to go on in the future.
He also knew that his move was irresponsible and capricious, whether it was to his relatives or to Xie Wanrong, who came from afar.
However, if he reluctantly married Xie Wanrong under the pressure of his family, it would hurt her even more.
"Mother," Wen Tao lowered his eyes and looked at his fingertips, his voice was a little imperceptibly desolate, "I want to go out for a walk, you will answer me this time, my son is not filial, please mother, it will be fulfilled." ”
Wen Tao spoke very slowly, and his tone was slightly erratic.
Xie Shi felt another pain in his heart when he heard this, and then his face turned pale.
Although Wen Tao did not mention Xie Wanrong in his words, how could Xie not understand the hidden meaning of his son's words?
She really didn't expect that her son would be resistant to this family business?
Could it be that she was wrong......
Xie Shi looked at his son in a daze, his pale face was stained with tears.
Seeing his wife like this, Wen Guogong couldn't help but feel distressed, and gently persuaded: "The children are older, they always have to go out to wander, he said this time that he was going to the labor army, but the specific things are handled by the people below, and there is no need for him to do anything, he just follows to show his face, at most he eats and wears harder, there will be no danger, don't you believe my words." ”
The son insisted on leaving, and the husband said so, what else could Xie do except agree?
"I... I can't help it, I can't take care of it, and I don't want to care about it, just let it go......" Xie Shi left this sentence and walked away with his face covered.
Seeing that Xie was leaving like this, where could he rest assured, and hurriedly explained to his son, "You made your mother sad this time, for the sake of you who are about to travel away, I won't talk about you, when you come back, let's settle your account first!" After that, he chased his wife out.
After Wen Guogong and his wife left, Wen Tao stood silently for a while and began to pack his things again.
Listening to the wind on the side to help clean up, I wanted to talk a few times and stopped, but I seemed to be afraid of something, so I didn't say anything.
He was afraid that he would talk nonsense, so the young master wouldn't take him there.
The northwest is bitterly cold, the young master has not suffered much since he was a child, if there is no one around to take care of him, how can he do it.
Therefore, listening to the wind, he didn't dare to say anything, for fear of saying the wrong thing, Wen Tao was so confused for a while that he refused to take it with him.
When the things were almost packed, Wen Tao said to Tingfeng: "You go and send a message to Su Yuan, just say that I am going to go out for a few days, and he is in charge of the things in the shop, if he encounters any trouble, just ask him to take my jade pendant to Steward Wen." ”
With that, Wen Tao handed over a turquoise Pisces to Tingfeng.
Listening to the wind, he replied, "Yes, young master, the slave will go." ”
"Wait......"
Listening to the wind, he turned around and was about to leave, but was stopped by Wen Tao, he turned around again, bowed down and waited for Wen Tao's command.
After a while, I heard Wen Tao say: "If Su Yuan asks you where I am going, you don't have to deliberately hide it, just say that I will go out on an errand." ”
Although there was no clear decree issued for him to go to the Northwest Labor Army, the emperor also agreed to it verbally.
The words of the Holy Chrysostom are equivalent to holy decrees.
Therefore, Wen Tao knew that it was impossible to hide that he was going to the northwest.
At this time, I'm afraid that all the major families already know.
Therefore, there is nothing to hide from Su Yuan.
I just don't know, An Sheng's side, will he know, or, after he knows, what will be his reaction......
Thinking of An Sheng, Wen Tao quickly shook his head, not allowing himself to think about it anymore.
"Go ahead, go and come back quickly." Wen Tao waved his hand and let Tingfeng go first.
Listening to the wind, he turned and ran out.
Not long after listening to the wind, Wen Hao came over.
Walking into Wen Tao's room, Wen Hao just looked at his younger brother deeply and did not speak.
Wen Tao didn't speak, and the two brothers just looked at each other.
After a long time, Wen Hao opened his mouth and asked, "It's decided?" ”
Wen Tao nodded solemnly, "It's decided." ”
Wen Hao's sword eyebrows were slightly raised, and he sighed lightly, "I heard that you made your mother cry." ”
"It's me who is not filial." Wen Tao lowered his eyebrows and looked depressed.
Wen Hao couldn't see his younger brother like this, so he walked over in three or two steps and punched his younger brother on the shoulder.
"I'm here, not to blame you, not to ask anything, I only have one sentence to explain to you, manly husband, when you look up to the sky, bow down to the ground, since you have made up your mind, take out a little courage, let the big guy know, you are not just a noble son who relies on the shadow of the ancestral family, as for the mother, she is worried about your safety, not really angry, you don't have to worry, I and your sister-in-law, will take care of the family, as for the cousin of the Xie family, I advise you to make a decision as soon as possible, The girl's name festival is not a trivial matter, you must think twice before acting, and don't do anything that you regret. ”
"I see, thank you, big brother." Wen Tao held Wen Hao's hand on his shoulder and replied in a deep voice.
Although he didn't say anything, he also understood the hard work of his eldest brother.
Even if the eldest brother didn't say it, he also warned himself in his heart that this time, he must come back with a result.
Such hesitation harms not only himself, but also others.
He can't do that.
"It's good if you know, I won't say more, be careful," Wen Hao was relieved to see that his younger brother understood what he meant, and at the end, he couldn't help but admonish, "You are still young, you don't have to rush too fast in everything, you must know, it is easy to fall heavy when you climb high, and there are still many opportunities to make contributions in the future." ”
"I see, thank you big brother for mentioning it." Wen Tao said.
