Chapter 145: Anxious
"It's not something you can do just by doing it."
"Grandfather, but!"
The fourth young master wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by his grandfather, "Needless to say, I have made up my mind about this matter, and I will raise troops out of the city tomorrow." ”
The old prince turned his head to look at Xia Qingqing and said, "Child, the one I can't worry about the most is you." ”
"Your Bai Yutang is now on the right track, although nothing big will happen, but the truth of both prosperity and loss, I think you also understand."
"You have to do everything you can, in case I really can't come back, you have to take care of it."
Xia Qingqing's eyes widened, "Grandfather, what do you mean by this?" ”
"You're going to pick up your big brother back, even if it's a combination of the two of you, it's quite easy to defeat these Turkic thieves."
"Grandfather, don't be discouraged, you have already saved your will to die before you go on the expedition, this must not be!"
The old prince changed his mind and said, "I have to deploy many things in advance to feel at ease. ”
"Right now, it looks like the war on the frontier has started, but why did your eldest uncle and aunt die in the frontier so suddenly?"
"You know, that's where they've been staying for many years, every grass and tree, they know everything by heart, and now there hasn't been a trace of it, your eldest brother's injury, there must be something wrong with this."
"I'm in a hurry to lead the troops out of the city, and I also take this into consideration, if there is really something wrong, I'm good to be ahead and block it for your big brother."
"Grandfather!" Xia Qingqing was in a hurry to speak, but was stopped by the old prince.
"The three of you staying in Jingzhou is our family's last hope."
"You must know that I am old, and the revitalization of the family is all on a few of you, if I really don't come back this time, Xiaosi, you have to remember that you can do anything in the future, but you can't join the army."
"If you like martial arts all your life, go to the rivers and lakes, you don't have to think about leading troops to go on the expedition, and you are forbidden to participate in court politics."
The fourth young master was so anxious that he kept rubbing his hands and said, "Grandfather, why did you talk about this matter?" Isn't it too early to talk about this before the situation is clear? ”
The old prince sighed and said, there are countless people in our family who have thrown their heads and spilled blood for the frontier, and since your generation, your children are also forbidden to join the army. “
"Just be a scholar in An'an, our iron hat king can ensure that you have no worries about food and clothing, and with my friendship with the emperor, it is not a problem to ensure your prosperity and wealth."
"Let's look at what the prince is doing now, as long as you don't cause big trouble in the future, it's good to be safe and sound for the rest of your life."
"Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, and I can't take care of so much in the future."
"I hope they each have their own creations, they can use the budding yin of their ancestors, and if they can't use it, they will go out and explore by themselves and fight the world!"
When the old prince wanted to talk about this, he was even more moved to tears, "What I want most is to see that Qingqing gets married, and he will be happy in the future." ”
"If you can get a richer fief with the third prince, it's good to go out and be an idle prince in the future, if you can't get along with him, you just have to live your life in the backyard."
"He's doing anything wrong in front, don't meddle with him, let alone care about him."
"Your Majesty, you will make your own decision, if there is really 10,000, you will enter the palace and explain to the emperor that you want a copy of peace, it is not impossible, I will leave a handwritten letter for you."
"If there is really trouble in the future, you will take it out and give it to the emperor, presumably the emperor will agree to your request because of my love for following them for so many years."
As he spoke, the old prince walked to the table, began to pick up the pen, wrote a letter, and before the handwriting was completely dry, he hurriedly put it in the envelope and handed it to Xia Qingqing, "You have to keep this handwritten letter, the emperor knows my handwriting." ”
"Grandfather, Xia Qingqing has already cried so much that he can't stop crying, we haven't reached the last step yet, is it a little earlier to make such plans now?"
The old prince smiled instead and said, "Be prepared, if I come back, everything will be easy to say, but if I can't come back, you brothers and sisters will have to support each other in the future." ”
"I will also send a letter to Erlang Saburo and them, so that they can leave office early, and your family will be reunited."
"Grandfather!"
Xia Qingqing couldn't cry, "What else can I do for you?" ”
The old prince said, "You, peace of mind, you can give me the best gift, and you can't interfere with the rest, so let's talk about it." ”
"I still have something to do, you also stop for two days, from today on, the gate of the palace does not have to be opened again, close the door and thank you." Whoever comes to find out the news doesn't matter. ”
After the old prince said this, he left.
Xia Qingqing cried and plunged into Lin Yuan'er's arms, "Sister-in-law, what should we do?" ”
The fourth young master slammed his fist on the table and said, "You can't just let it go, grandfather, although we said so, we can't really treat it as if nothing happened." ”
"I decided to change my appearance and join the army, thinking that at this time, I must be recruiting, even if I start as a big soldier."
Xia Qingqing began to brainstorm frantically, she is also in peace in modern times, where has she ever encountered such a thing, fighting and killing on the battlefield.
immediately said, "No, if you go to be a big soldier, brother, life and death will be difficult to say, and the treatment will also plummet, and no one will treat you with the honor of the prince of the palace anymore." ”
Xia Jinghong gritted his teeth and said, "What is this?" ”
"I can persevere in all the suffering, I can't let my eldest brother and grandfather, they fight on the front line, and we are like a shrunken turtle, all shrinking in the house, this!"
Xia Jinghong's voice was hoarse, "This makes me feel uneasy!" ”
Xia Qingqing immediately said, "Although Grandfather didn't let us act rashly, we still have something to do!" ”
"If there is a war on the front line, then food and grass must be the top priority, and the local people will also have a hard time, so why don't we build a line of defense and help them take care of the rear!"
"And what my grandfather said is not reasonable, only if you are in Beijing, can you calm the emperor's heart, if you also leave rashly, the emperor will naturally doubt it."
"Until now, we don't know what the battle is going on in front of us, but since my grandfather said so, he must have a point."
After that, she wiped her tears and regained her confidence and said, "I'll go to Baiyutang now, count the silver taels I have earned recently, and in addition to the daily operating silver, the rest of the silver will be withdrawn." ”
"As an emergency material, and then, send some people to buy some grain and grass, and transport it to the north one after another, in the name of selling."
"Don't let others know that we have brought grain and grass to the front."
"At this juncture, our family must be as low-key as possible."
Xia Jinghong looked at her, as if he hadn't said anything, Xia Qingqing wiped her tears and said to Lin Yuan'er, "Sister-in-law, you must take good care of your brother, now is the time for him to be impulsive." ”
"If a move is done incorrectly and arouses the suspicion of the emperor, then all the work that grandfather has done before has been done in vain."
"Grandfather is so old, and he also led the troops to the battlefield, and it is difficult to protect it, not to give an explanation to the emperor."
"We must not mess with ourselves at this time!"
Lin Yuan'er said, "Don't worry, I will take care of him day and night, and don't let him take half a step out of my sight." ”
Xia Qingqing nodded, "Okay, then I'll rest assured, now my brother hasn't understood the truth he said, and he just wants to go to the front line." ”
"I'm really afraid, he rushed to the front line like this, and instead gave away his life."
"Right now, you're the only one who lives with him, and I can rest easy."
"I'll go to the White Jade Hall now to see if I can raise more silver tickets! It's okay to ask your grandfather to take it with you. ”
"Now, our family must not have any more accidents, and hurry up to me. Second uncle. Send a letter to explain the current situation and the state of our family. ”
"Let them hurry up and submit a letter to the emperor, and if they can withdraw it, they will come back as soon as possible! No matter what the family encounters, they still have to be neatly together. ”
After Xia Qingqing said this, she was surprised to find that she didn't know when she regarded herself as the real Xia Qingqing, and she also put her family members in her heart.
Even if she had never met her relatives, she could sense their hearts for her from the many gifts.
On my parents' side, when she said this, she paused, and instantly remembered something, and she was embarrassed to say it directly.
Then he continued, "I'd better deliver the message to the two of them myself!" ”
Lin Yuan'er agreed one by one, Xia Qingqing walked out of the door, and took one last look. Xia Jinghong said, "Brother, before you act, you must think about it!" ”
She understood that Lin Yuan'er alone couldn't look down on her brother, so she increased her weight and said, "Is it a blessing or a curse in our house right now?" It's all up to you. ”
The fourth young master seemed to be deaf, sitting at the coffee table and bowing his head, not knowing what she was pondering, she sighed and closed the door.
Xia Qingqing walked briskly to her room, revealing her eagerness, even if she was trying to figure out how to find a way, she was a daughter after all.
It is impossible to go to the battlefield with the old prince, not to mention that she doesn't know anything about Sun Tzu's art of war.
As she sat at her desk, a sense of powerlessness welled up in her heart, and she wanted to write a letter to her parents, whom she had never met, and a drop of ink fell from her fingertips on the paper.
I really don't know what to write, after all, she is not really Xia Qingqing, when she wears this body, she has not seen her parents since.
For them, it's just a nominal relationship!
