Chapter 18 Filial piety
The eldest princess was even happier when she heard Jiang Zhanwei say this. Thinking that he has not been interested in this grandson for so many years, he has really wronged him, and he must be compensated well in the future. When the master of the horse wakes up, he will tell him how filial he is, so that he will not suppress this grandson in the future. No matter what your grandchildren are, they are all your own blood and bones.
She smiled and patted his hand and praised, "Good boy, really a good boy who is filial." Grandmother and grandfather have received this heart of yours. He added, "Your eldest brother went to Guangji Temple this morning to ask Mingyi to preside over the birthday of you, the Lu family, and your grandfather, and say that the marriage on April 19 will be prosperous, and everything will be fine." You ...... with Lu that day"
Jiang Zhanwei agreed very happily, "Okay, my grandson knows what to do." He got up and knelt down again, pulled the skirt of the eldest princess's lap, and said, "Grandmother, grandson has a request. β
The eldest princess pulled Jiang Zhanwei, "If you have something to say, no matter what grandmother will accept you." β
Jiang Zhanwei didn't get up, and continued, "Grandmother, my grandson is nineteen years old this year, and he also married the Lu family and came back to honor my elders for me. As the old saying goes, men are ambitious in all directions, and grandsons want to join the army and serve the court. The grandson has already agreed with Brother Xie, the prince of Qinguo, to serve under him. β
Xie Yu, the son of the Duke of Qinguo, served as a general in the Jianrui Battalion on the outskirts of Beijing, and he would go to Xie Yu to serve as the lieutenant of the seventh grade. As long as he resigns from his current official position and transfers his official account to the military department, he will be a full-fledged soldier.
I heard Brother Xie say that there is a change in the north now, and it is very likely that there will be a big battle in the near future. If there is a real fight, most of the men and horses of the Jianrui Battalion, the Forward Battalion, and the Infantry Battalion will leave for the north.
Jiang Zhanwei wanted to leave this home that had bound him for more than ten years, leave the flashy and chaotic capital, and go to the army to display the pride and intelligence he had suppressed for more than ten years. Especially when he heard that there might be a war, he was even more proud.
He has been martial since he was a child, and he admires the ancestors of the Jiang family who expanded his territory with Song Gaozong, and Brother Xie, who is both civil and military. When he was seven years old, he met Xie Yu by chance, so he secretly went to the Guogong Mansion to pester Brother Xie to learn martial arts, and practiced in the house every day. not only borrowed military books from Brother Xie to read, but also went to the family library to peek at military books. The soldier was sent to him by Brother Xie, and he followed the soldiers all over the yard every day, called "walking the dog", but in fact, he was practicing endurance. It wasn't until six years later, when he was thirteen years old, that because the soldiers inadvertently collided with his mother-in-law and the pregnant third lady, he was beaten to death by the second master......
Jiang Zhanwei originally thought that being a military general was just a yearning for him and would never become a profession. Through this blow, he completely figured it out, he wanted to leave home, leave the elders who suppressed the concubine, become a soldier of the Jin Ge Iron Horse, and go to the army to open up his own future. The grandfather, who didn't like the general, is now unconscious, and there is no way to stop him. In the garrison, none of his elders could reach ......
The eldest princess didn't know her grandson's thoughts, she shook her head and said, "Although the ancestors of the Jiang family started with military merits, they haven't been to the army since your grandfather, and they are all from literature. You are weak scholars who are powerless, and it is very hard to go to the barracks. Good boy, if you must join the army, go to the palace on an errand, be decent, and be promoted. β
A weak scholar who has no power to tie the chicken? He's not!
Jiang Zhanwei kowtowed and begged, "When my grandfather was not sick, he often taught us to care about the court and be loyal to the emperor. Although the palace is good, the grandson wants to go to the real military camp to train himself. When the grandson grew to the age of nineteen, he had his own ideas for the first time, and it was also the first time he begged his grandmother. Grandmother, for the sake of your grandson's filial piety, fulfill this wish of your grandson. β
The word "filial piety" is extremely important. After saying that, he kowtowed three more times.
The eldest princess's eyes were red. Although there are many children and grandchildren, although her love for this grandson is not as good as that of her grandson, she is still reluctant to let him suffer in the army, especially after knowing that he is so filial.
She said again, "Are you blaming your grandmother for letting you marry Lu?" What the Lu clan did was also hateful. Don't worry, as long as your grandfather is well, let her go to another hospital to live, and your grandmother will marry you again. Grandmother came forward, that flat wife will definitely not be worse than the previous Shu girl......"
Jiang Zhanwei shook his head and said, "Grandmother, don't think like this. The grandson married Lu Chongxi, it is filial piety, it should be, the grandson has no regrets, and he has never thought about a flat wife or anything. The grandson has always been in the army, and it has nothing to do with marrying the Lu family. β
Listening to her grandson's words, the eldest princess was moved and sad. This grandson is really sensible and filial, it's all like this, and he is still comforting her and not embarrassing her. It's all the Lu family who is hateful, and they did that foolish thing, so that their grandson had no face to see people, and he had to go to the army where no one knew him and suffered......
Jiang Zhanwei explained the eldest princess, got up and said goodbye, saying that he was going to go to the barracks to find Xie Yu now, and he would go directly to the Yali tomorrow to transfer his military status, and then he would go to the army. 11 days later, that is, on April 19, he will definitely come back, and he will not delay the "Chongxi" event. He was afraid that the second master would come back and cause trouble, and this matter would have to be resolved quickly.
Lu Man had already finished the massage, but she didn't dare to go out, for fear of running into Jiang Zhanwei. At this time, I was standing in front of the window, looking at the clear sky after the rain, and the flowers and plants in the courtyard were delicate.
The girl Xiaohuan brought her a cup of tea.
Lu Man took the tea and thanked him with a smile. At this time, she really needs a cup of tea to calm her heart, and there is enough reason to stand here in a daze.
Suddenly, there was the sound of brisk footsteps, coming out of the west room, and then out of the hall, and then she saw a man hurrying out, down the steps, and then hurriing away. She knew that this man was her husband Jiang Zhanwei in this life.
He was dressed in a long robe embroidered with moire arrow sleeves, and he was tall, with a straight back and a brisk walk like the wind. Even if she only looked at a back, and a flashing side like a knife, she realized that this man was not as cowardly, forbearing, and inferior as she thought beforeβisn't that the character of most concubines?
Except for special circumstances, almost all the concubines have no confidence and are excluded, and they have been shaped into such a flawed character, especially the concubines in this house. The old concubine hates the concubine, the second master is afraid of his wife, and the concubine who grew up under this pressure should be more cowardly, more timid, and more inferior.
This character is not good, and she doesn't have much potential, but it's very suitable for her now. Because most of the cowardly and forbearant people have a soft heart, such people are much easier to deal with.
But this man ...... Her heart was uneasy.
Lu Man took another sip of tea to calm his mind, and saw the man's back disappear into the side building in the courtyard before he put down the teacup. He went to the bedside to bless the old concubine, said goodbye to the two imperial doctors, and then walked out of the bedroom.
