Chapter 718: A Man Like a Devil (Calling for a Monthly Pass)
After dinner, the old man reclined comfortably on the edge of the iron stove, the four mothers-in-law were teasing the children to play with building blocks and rag dolls, and the third child was playing backgammon with my eldest Fang Bin was playing backgammon there, Fang Jue was on the side to give her eldest brother ideas, and the mother was happy, looking at this and that, as if she was the busiest person in the family. The warmth of the iron stove fills the spacious brick and concrete house with warmth, the beautiful wood-grain floors and wall panels, the painted roof, and the colorful chandeliers, which make the room look so harmonious, and the beautiful crescent moon hangs high in the sky outside the glass window, and the plain white clothes that reflect the earth are silver.
The kettle on the iron stove was steaming, so that the room did not look too dry because of the warmth. The old man took a sip of tea, staring at the table and didn't know whether he was dozing or being stunned, and I, slowly touching my belly, well, if you don't take a walk after eating, rubbing your stomach is not only good for digestion, but also for fat loss, I hope my figure can always be like the devil's muscles, for example, now, my abdominal muscles, my muscle lines are very devilish, so I am very satisfied, but also a little complacent, compared to the future generations of my bamboo pole is not perfect how many generations, if Datang now has a computer and the Internet, and QQ, I will definitely call my Q name: A man like a devil, Fang Er!
The left hand continued to rub the stomach for a while, and the right hand picked up a cup of tea, and took a sip very gently, and before the tea could be swallowed, the old man's voice floated into my ears. "Erlang, I'm afraid that in a few days, you will have to leave home again."
I almost squirted the tea in my mouth, turned my head to look at the old man, the old man still looked like an old god, and my wives and concubines and mother-in-law naturally heard what the old man said, and they all focused on it. "Father, what do you mean, what do you think, what do you think ...... child?"
"What did you say, sir? Erlang stayed at home and didn't cause you trouble, how could he say such a thing? The mother also sat down beside the old man, and said with a very resentful look.
The old man patted his mother's hand on his arm: "Madam, what you said, you will be wrong about the old man's meaning, Erlang, you should also know that in a few days, Your Majesty is afraid that you will announce the disposition of the battle between Baekje and the Wa Kingdom that were recklessly launched in Silla, and when the time comes, Your Majesty will naturally announce the generals who will go on the expedition." ”
--------------------------------------------------- my four wives and concubines have all sat down beside me, all with questions and worries on their faces, I don't know who pulled the corners of my clothes, slightly tilted their heads, green butterfly eyes looked at me, small mouths slightly pouted, a reluctant expression. I quietly stretched out my hand backwards, and pinched the green butterfly's soft and boneless hand to signal that she didn't have to worry, since the old man said so, he must have something to explain.
"In this battle, Your Majesty has privately asked the old man whether he wants you to go to the battle, and the old man has already promised His Majesty." The old man said such a sentence slowly, and his mother's face suddenly changed, and she looked angry: "Master, aren't you confused, Erlang has only been back for a year, and our eldest man has been sent thousands of miles away to work for the court, why are you ...... Don't you see our two dangling in front of you and annoying you? The mother had only said a few words, and tears came out of her eyes.
The old man rolled his eyes helplessly, and hurriedly said to his mother: "Madame, don't be annoyed, look at what you said, my husband has been with you for so many years, how can I have such a mind, this time, our Erlang is just going to shake his head, there is no danger at all, this is a piece of His Majesty's kindness, our family can't live up to Your Majesty's hard work, right?" Besides, our Erlang is both a martial artist and a country, which is what he should do. ”
The mother looked at the old man with a puzzled expression. "I said, master, is there any danger in this war?"
"The old man is not the same, and he has been mixed up a lot on the battlefield, isn't it still today?" The old man swept my four mothers-in-law. With a serious expression, he told the reason for the incident and the old man's own judgment.
“…… I, the Tang Dynasty, will definitely be able to destroy the two countries with the momentum of destroying the withering and decaying, can Your Majesty not know that Erlang is a Shiziren? Even if he wanted to charge into battle, he weighed whether he had the ability to do it yesterday. This time, Your Majesty said that the main thing is to let a small number of soldiers from Junlang's academy follow the army to practice actual combat, not to let our son go to risk the stone arrow, Your Majesty is grabbing credit for our children, do you understand? ”
"Don't take any credit and concubines, as long as my children are safe and sound." The mother is still a little angry, but the tone is naturally much softer than Fang Cai, the old man turned around and glanced at me, I stepped forward: "Mother, what my father said is also the truth, others want to earn this credit can't earn it, mother, you also know, the child is the master who is penniless, that is, squatting behind the team and waving the flag and shouting, besides, the child is also a fourth-grade official, His Majesty's son-in-law, the prince's mentor, no matter what Your Majesty does, you will not let the child do dangerous things." ”
My mother ignored my words, and slapped me on the head: "Stinky boy, my mother is talking for you, you excuse your father, my mother loves you so much, something without conscience." ”
To be honest, we really want to go to the Japanese land for a walk, and prepare to build a big public toilet in Kyoto, the capital of the Japanese country, but Uncle Li has not given me a letter in this war, and I am a little disheartened.
The old man sighed and continued to explain: "It's because our family's eldest lang has asked His Majesty to entrust him with a heavy task to go to Jiangnan, and our family is also an adult with Erlang, and Sanlang is still young, so ah, Your Majesty is very hesitant to send our Erlang to the expedition this time, and Your Majesty also has a heart to let our Erlang take another step forward." ”
I believe the old man's words, Uncle Li's expression of wanting to speak and stopping many times has fully explained this problem, and I am a little happy in my heart, I can see that Uncle Li still attaches great importance to me, and attaches great importance to me, otherwise, just valuing me, then, Uncle Li can directly give an order, then I naturally can't disobey, and Uncle Li can think from the perspective of my family, which is very illustrative, that is, Uncle Li's attention to me has surpassed the relationship between the emperor and the courtiers and ordinary father-in-law and son-in-law, or should I say soUncle Li led me to be half a think tank and half confidant.
The mother snorted, and saw Li Shu sitting beside her biting her lip and not knowing what she was thinking, so she took Li Shu's hand and said gently: "Daughter-in-law, the old man wants to hear what you mean." ”
Li Shu is not only my mother-in-law, but also Uncle Li's daughter, Her Royal Highness the princess of the Tang Dynasty, but Li Shu looked at me and hesitated for a long time, Fang Zi lowered his head and replied: "Mother-in-law, my daughter-in-law doesn't want Junlang to go, but since my daughter-in-law is already Lang Jun's wife, she should naturally support him." ”
--------------------------------------------------- "Sister ......" I was moved, although the beautiful girls around me were more or less uncertain, but they still nodded to me very resolutely, and their decision power was in my hands.
The mother sighed helplessly: "That's it, what's the love, my mother doesn't care, it's big, the wings are hard!" Stinky boy, when you come back, dare to lose a hair, my mother will rip off your skin! My mother slapped me twice again, a little hot, but I was very happy, and my heart was hot.
My mother-in-law gave up the idea, and when they became daughters-in-law, they naturally didn't say more, although they didn't want their husbands to leave home and wander outside, but this is the responsibility and obligation given by the country, and it is also the sacred mission of the Tang elite.
"Second brother is going to war again?" The third child squeezed over, staring at me with big eyes and envy. I nodded solemnly, rubbed the little guy's head and teased him: "Second brother I'm afraid that he will have to go far away again, and when the time comes, the family will have to rely on you, Fang Bin and they are all juniors, and their parents are old, and you are the only man in the family." ”
The third child stood up proudly: "Second brother, you will manage it, my father and mother will hand it over to me, and the child will definitely serve my father and mother well." ”
"Ouch, when did this kid become so sensible, look, he talks like a little adult, one by one, and his mother is warm in her heart." The mother was amused by the third child and laughed, and hugged the little kid and kissed it vigorously.
The third child struggled very dissatisfied: "Mother, I'm salivaing." Mother, the child is a manly husband, and when he grows up, he must be like the second brother, commanding thousands of troops and horses, oops......"
The mother gritted her teeth and withdrew the hand that twisted the third ass: "Little bastard, don't learn well, learn from your second brother, and be a general, see how my mother cleans up your little bastard." ”
The old man almost laughed on the side, and I squatted on the side with a few mothers-in-law to watch the excitement, poor third child, who made you the oldest, but it's okay, let the mother be angry, it can be regarded as a little useful.
