Wishful Things

"master."

Uncle Yun's voice came: "The messenger came from the palace—"

"It's fast enough." Duke Zhen sneered, "I can't wait until tomorrow morning."

No matter how you look at this posture, there is an ironic meaning of "Don't you want to go, I will help you right away"-it seems that the emperor was really so angry by him today that he almost ascended to heaven, even the calm and gentle performance in the past was not complete.

Xu Mingyi followed Zhen Guogong to the front hall to receive the order.

After the palace servants left, Xu Mingyi looked at the imperial edict in his grandfather's hand, and recognized Zhan Yunzhu's handwriting at a glance.

Now this palace is really a nest of snakes and rats.

"Father, the son just heard that someone from the palace came to deliver the decree—are you going to go to war again?"

Just after returning from the Ministry of Rites, Xu Jin, who was standing upright with the palace people who were passing the decree outside the gate of the mansion, rushed to the front hall in a hurry.

"Hmm." Duke Zhen looked at his eldest son, "Why did you come back so early?"

Xu Jin sighed in a low voice: "My son has a headache, so he came back early..."

Anyway, his job in the Ministry of Rites is also a casual job. As a person who has been fishing for many years, it is normal for him to come back early because of headaches and abdominal pains.

"Father, where are you going this time?" Xu Jin sat down beside him, his tone not relaxed.

"The Li clan is in trouble, I recommend myself to the emperor to lead the troops there." The old man said after taking a sip of tea.

Xu Jin's expression changed slightly: "Self-recommendation?"

Father was not a belligerent person—especially after Zhao Zhao was added to the family.

Therefore, under this self-recommendation, there must be a "have to" reason...

Thinking of the last private conversation with his father, Xu Jin couldn't help but feel a little dignified.

At this time, Cui Shi also came over.

Immediately afterwards was Xu Yun who also heard the news.

The last one to arrive was Xu Mingshi who had just returned from school.

Tianmu came in staggeringly after Xu Mingshi, his eyeballs rolled around, and he found an empty chair and squatted down very consciously.

Seeing that both the people and the birds had arrived, Duke Zhen just shunned the servants and sent a message.

"Your Majesty ordered me to lead the troops to set off in three days. Before I leave, I have something to say to each of you. Boss, take care of your home. You must pay more attention to the things I told you to do earlier—"

Xu Jin's tone was respectful: "Yes, my son must settle this matter as soon as possible."

The old man looked at Cui Shi again: "You have to take care of the trivial matters at home and the two children. Father knows that you are always careful, so I won't say much."

Cui nodded, and replied seriously: "Yes, my daughter-in-law has made a note."

She doesn't know much about the big things in the family, but she can take care of all the trivial things.

And since her father made a special confession this time, she should pay more attention to it, and reduce the time spent on the horse hanging - it is rare for Cui to make such a big sacrifice.

"Tomorrow, I will study and practice martial arts with peace of mind. If something happens, I will discuss it with your father and sister. Remember not to make decisions alone." Zhen Guogong confessed to his grandson.

He is not in the capital, and it does not mean that everything will be safe and sound at home. We still need to be careful and pay attention to everything. Everyone should not be careless, lest people have loopholes to take advantage of.

Zhaozhao is right, the chances of winning are greater if the whole family works together.

Xu Mingshi sternly agreed.

These days, he also knew some things, even if there is no explanation from his grandfather at this time, he will definitely treat everything around him cautiously.

"Zhaozhao is the one who reassures me the most." Lord Zhen Guo looked over to his granddaughter, without concealing his admiration for his granddaughter, and said to everyone: "I'm not at home, and Zhaozhao is in charge of all important matters at home. When you encounter matters that you are not sure about, go to Zhaozhao to finalize—"

Xu Jin and the others nodded.

Even Xu Mingshi did not show any dissatisfaction on his face.

After explaining some big and small things and arrangements, the old man picked up the teacup and drank tea.

Looking at his father who had obviously finished speaking, Xu Yun couldn't help but wonder: Could it be that his father couldn't see him sitting here?

And if he heard correctly just now, his father even specifically explained a few words about Tianmu's feeding and weight loss. How come he didn't have a word?

Looking at the big bird sitting there full of energy, as if facing this family conversation very seriously, the weird feeling of being taken away by a bird resurfaced in Xu Yun's heart again.

But he could only sigh silently, and comforted himself—maybe his father felt that he didn't go out on weekdays, and he didn't have any chance to cause trouble. Relatively speaking, he was more at ease.

But when he looked up and saw his father's gray hair, Xu Yun suddenly felt his heart drop, and he couldn't care less about these childish cares.

And it is precisely because of his father at home that he can still retain such a childish childishness...

But even though his father could still slap him dizzily, his hair was still gray after all.

In the last few times my father went to war, there was no time when the family members were not worried, or even frightened.

Whenever their father came back, the reason why they were happy was not because of the triumphant victory and the great achievements of the family, but because the old man returned home safely.

Going home safely——that was the only thing they were looking forward to before their father left for the expedition.

"Father." Xu Yun said suddenly, with a rare and serious expression: "This time, my son will go with you."

Before the world was settled, he and his elder brother often followed their father, and the military camp was their other home.

When he was older and read a lot, he would also help out with the military adviser and make suggestions. If the army won a battle because of this and won the praise of his father, he would show off to find...

Far away.

Xu Yun pulled back his thoughts in time.

What also woke him up immediately was his father's ruthless response.

"What are you going to do?" There was no lack of disgust in the eyes of Zhen Guogong.

——Going to confinement in his barracks will bring down the morale of his army? !

"...The son is always useful. If you can't do difficult things, you can always serve tea and water."

"When you slowly get up from the bed and serve tea, I'm afraid I'm going to die of thirst!" Duke Zhen said impatiently: "And I'll be angry just looking at your face!"

When the time comes, if you don't keep it together, you have to go to the battlefield to beat the Li people, and go back to the barracks to beat the unfilial son!

Xu Yun sighed with some disappointment, and stopped talking.

After all, what my father said was true. Apart from embarrassing his father, he seemed to have no other use.

In fact, when it comes to serving tea and water, he is much more nimble than his hands and feet.

Just like what my father said before, a person like him can't pick up big shit in the countryside.

Glancing at the wilted second son, Duke Zhen sneered again and said, "If you don't go to choose the cemetery a few times, and come back with less bad luck, you can count it as accumulating blessings for me!"

Thank you for the reward from Crane Xing, good night everyone~
