Chapter 226: Tangled

The old lady Xuanping Hou was happy in her heart, and she didn't hide it on her face, she stood up and stepped forward to support Mrs. Luo, "haha" laughed: "What's the matter with me, this matter is nothing, it is wrapped up in me." The Zheng family's family business can't be successful, so I'll find you a better family business in the future. Brother Qian'er can put the country first, regardless of his own safety, and go to the border to serve the court, such an act is commendable. When the master returns, I will tell him about it. If he can't do it, I will go to the palace to talk to the Queen Mother, and I have to let the child who understands righteousness show his face in front of the emperor or the Queen Mother, and return triumphantly with great merit in the future, and make a name for himself; If you participate in the spring festival again, you can also take a big face in the palace examination. ”

When Mrs. Luo heard this, she was full of bitterness, but she had to force a smile, thanked the old man Xuanping, and excused herself: "Aunt is still Mo Ti in front of the emperor and the queen mother. This child is pampered, and I am afraid that he will not be used to the hardships of the border pass, so he will come back in a few days. Won't it be a joke then? Or in the future, he really fought and had some credit, and it was not too late to mention it. ”

"This makes sense, but I'm in a hurry." Old lady Xuan Pinghou said with a smile.

After saying this, Mrs. Luo seemed to let go of half of her thoughts, and her face showed a tired look.

Seeing this, the old lady Xuanping hurriedly said: "The affairs of the Zheng family are not in a hurry, you should freshen up and rest, and it will not be too late to talk about it tomorrow." ”

"Okay, I'll talk to my aunt after I've freshened up." Mrs. Luo did not shirk either.

Old lady Xuanping turned her head and instructed the Xiao family: "Settle Ah Ying well." ”

It was only then that Xia Jin knew that Mrs. Luo's maiden name was Zhao Ying.

Mrs. Luo smiled and said, "Sister-in-law has a lot of things, so don't bother." It's not the first time I've been here, and I'm familiar with everything in the house. It's better to let Sister Jin accompany me. ”

As he spoke, he beckoned to Xia Jin: "Sister Jin, come." Come and talk to me. ”

Xia Jin was very puzzled, I didn't know what kind of medicine Mrs. Luo was selling in the gourd. When she left Linjiang, Mrs. Luo hated her to the core, and ran to Xia's house to point at her nose and scold. But this time it's like seeing a new girl, and it's not good to be affectionate.

In front of the Cen family, she naturally didn't want to show anything, so she had to nod. Smiled: "Okay." ”

Mrs. Luo said goodbye to the Cen family. took Xia Jin's hand and left.

Because Xia Jin was often hugged by Shu's family, he had already changed his habit of not being close to people in his previous life. But I was still not used to being pulled by Mrs. Luo like this, and as soon as I got out of the hospital. She withdrew her hand. Mrs. Luo only glanced at her and said nothing. The two of them couldn't say anything in front of the mother of the housekeeper of Cen Mansion, so they went to the guest house quietly.

Mrs. Luo got off the carriage and went to see Mrs. Xuanping Hou and Xiao Shi, dressed in dust. At this time, I should have taken a bath and changed my clothes. But when the housekeeper mother of Cen Mansion explained everything and left politely. As soon as she sat down, she retreated and said to Xia Jin: "You write a letter and let Brother Qian come back." ”

"This ......," Xia Jin was stunned. Only then did he react and quickly shook his head, "I'm sorry." I can't write this letter. ”

"You ......" As soon as Mrs. Luo's sharp voice came out, she softened again. said in a soft voice, "My brother Qian went to the border for you." He left a letter saying, let us retire the Zheng family's relatives. If he doesn't quit, he won't come back. ”

Xia Jin's pupils dilated, and she bit her lip.

"Write him a letter and ask him to come back." Mrs. Luo begged, "I only have such a son, and he is my lifeline." If he had three longs and two shorts, I wouldn't have lived. At this, her tears flowed uncontrollably, and her voice whimpered.

Xia Jin listened to this cry, and suddenly felt like crying. Thinking of Luo Qian, I don't know what kind of feeling she felt after she left; Thinking of the figure of him desperately holding the package and running to the front line alone, her heart ached faintly.

"Why don't you speak?" Mrs. Luo took out her veil, wiped her tears, and said with a thick cry, "You let him come back and tell him that I agree to your marriage." ”

Xia Jin raised his eyes and looked at Mrs. Luo.

Mrs. Luo's eyes were red, and she nodded vigorously at her, indicating that she had heard correctly, and that she had indeed agreed to their marriage.

"I ......" Xia Jin felt that his throat was dry and it was very difficult to speak.

She lowered her eyelids, and her voice was low, but she was very clear: "What Brother Luo does, it's not for me to persuade." I can't write this letter. ”

"What?" Mrs. Luo's voice rose a few decibels, "I don't hesitate to offend the Zheng family and promise you to get married, what else do you want from me?" Do you want me to kneel for you? ”

After a pause, she suddenly thought of a possibility, her eyes widened, and she looked at Xia Jin: "You, you won't ...... Don't you want to marry my brother? ”

As she spoke, her tears came down again, and she cried out loud: "He is like this for you, if you don't want to marry him, how hard-hearted you are!" ”

"No, that's not what I meant." Xia Jin hurriedly shook his head.

She is the person who is most afraid of owing favors to others. was saved by someone in her previous life, and in the end, she paid it back with her life. Now Luo Qian is for her, regardless of her parents, regardless of her future, regardless of danger, and runs to the border to gain fame, just to be with her. She told Mrs. Luo at this time that she was unwilling to marry him, didn't she have no conscience?

"Now there is a war going on at the border pass." She patiently explained to Mrs. Luo, "The Cen family, young and old, are all preparing to go on the expedition. Like the second son of the Cen family, who is the same age as Brother Luo, he is also not married yet, he can go to the border, why can't Brother Luo go? If Brother Luo hadn't set off at this time, he would have done it, he was a literati, and the difficulty of the border pass was the responsibility of the general; But now that he has gone, is it not a shame to come back at this time because of the personal affairs of his children? This kind of behavior of escaping from the battle, if someone plays a book and lets the emperor know, Brother Luo's life will be over. Not only can't you be an official, but you have to be looked down upon everywhere you go. ”

Mrs. Luo's crying gradually stopped, she thought for a while, and when she understood what Xia Jin said, she cried again: "What can I do about this? I can't come back again, and it's dangerous at the border...... Woo, why is my life so miserable. finally raised a son, but he was so stubborn that he didn't even want his life in order to marry a daughter-in-law. ”

"......" Xia Jin heard this, lowered his eyes, pursed his lips and stopped making a sound.

But after waiting for a while, seeing that Mrs. Luo was crying really sadly, she had to explain: "Mrs. Luo, don't worry. Some time ago, the second son of the Cen family practiced against my brother, and I saw his martial arts. His martial arts are not as good as Brother Luo. He went to the battlefield several times, but he was able to retreat on his own. Could it be that Brother Luo is not as good as him?

Moreover, Brother Luo is a lifter, and what is most lacking in the army is a sergeant-type talent who is familiar with military books. The generals over there would never treat Brother Luo as an ordinary soldier. Being a strategist by the side of the generals is the best use of things. Think about it, where will Brother Luo be in danger if he stays in the command base camp? Even if there is danger, with his martial arts, he can avoid it, and he will not be injured and die. You, let's put your heart back in your stomach. ”

"Really?" Mrs. Luo wiped away her tears and looked at Xia Jin with hope.

Xia Jin nodded: "Naturally, it's true." Think about it yourself, whether what I said makes sense. ”

Mrs. Luo thought about it carefully, and her mood gradually calmed down. She couldn't be more familiar with the Cen family. There were many battles at the border gates, but very few people died. At first, some people said that it was blessed by the gods. Later, it was rumored that it was because of the Cen family's strong martial arts.

"If you don't have anything else to do, then I'll go back first." Xia Jin saw that Mrs. Luo stopped crying, her eyes were bright, and she changed her anxiety when she came, so she stood up and said goodbye.

The letter can't be written, and the relatives on the Zheng family's side haven't retreated yet, so it's too early to say anything at this time. Mrs. Luo didn't want to keep her any longer, so she nodded and said, "Okay, you can go back first." I'll look for you when there's something. ”

Xia Jin returned to her residence, and Cen Ziman asked her curiously, "What did Mrs. Luo say to you?" ”

Since hearing Cen Ziman say that he wanted to marry his brother, Xia Jin has become a little closer to her. And Luo Qian's going to join the army touched her a lot. She desperately needed someone to help her with her ideas.

So she told her about her entanglement with Luo Qian, as well as Mrs. Luo's intentions.

"What? Luo Gongzi went to the border for you? Luo Qian's crazy move surprised Cen Ziman.

Hearing Xia Jin say that she couldn't write to Luo Qian, she put her arm around Xia Jin, nodded and said, "You are right, my grandfather, my father, and my brother all went to the border, why can't they go?" Are their lives more precious and valuable than the lives of my family? ”

Saying that, she raised her head, looked at Xia Jin, and said enviously: "You are so good, there are two outstanding people like Luo Gongzi and my cousin who like you, you are so happy." ”

Xia Jin smiled: "My brother likes you too, and he is willing to do anything for you, such as sucking snake venom or something." It's a lot more dangerous than being in the military. ”

"Ah, I won't tell you." Cen Ziman blushed suddenly.

The two laughed for a while, and Aman asked Xia Jin seriously: "What do you think?" Luo Gongzi and my cousin both want to marry you, which one do you like? ”

Xia Jin sighed and said distressedly: "I don't know either." It turns out that at the beginning, I liked Luo Qian. But his mother ......," she shook her head with a wry smile, "and she made a lot of noise around our house, which made my mother and father very embarrassed. Now she agreed to this family business for the sake of her son's life, but she still looks down on me from the bottom of her bones. ”

Aman nodded and said, "Yes, my cousin is better." My cousin, that is, my cousin's mother, listened to those Taoist priests in the rivers and lakes talking nonsense, saying that my cousin would be a mother, and she didn't dare to see him at all, so she followed her youngest son to Qiongzhou. I don't think she'll ever come back for the rest of her life, for fear of being killed by my cousin. You marry my cousin, and no one will make you angry. (To be continued)

ps: Something went wrong today, so the first and second are late. There will be a third one, but it will be very late, so don't wait, let's see it tomorrow morning.
