Chapter 167 Dispute
Compared with Lindu, Jiangnan is more suitable for people with the temperament of the emperor. However, the imperial capital of the state of Qi is in Lindu, so even if they want to go, they can only stay for a while in the name of a tour.

But now that Xia Guobing is approaching the city, it is not surprising that the emperor thinks of Jiangnan again.

Concubine Qian Gui said meekly: "The concubine listens to the majesty, wherever the majesty tells the concubine to go, the concubine will go there."

-

Yongchang Hou Mansion.

Madam Yongchang Hou blushed and ordered a few servants loudly: "Show me the son, don't let him go out."

Seeing a few servants surrounding Zhou Wei in purple, he said in embarrassment, "Your Majesty, just listen to Madam, the Xia soldiers outside the city are fierce and fierce, but they can really kill people."

Zhou Wei stood in the middle and said to Mrs. Yongchang Hou: "Mother, I have practiced martial arts since I was a child, why should Qi country suffer such a great shame and humiliation? I can't lead troops to defend against the enemy, why should I let others hit the door of my house?"

Mrs. Yongchang Hou was trembling with anger, this rebellious son has been restless since this morning.Even the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty couldn't do anything about it, so he insisted on moving forward. This is a battle with troops, not a child's play.

"Shut up," Mrs. Yongchang Hou pointed at him, "Your father and I are only a child like you, and we still expect you to take care of us until the end of our retirement. Now that you are determined to go your own way, have you forgotten how to write filial piety?"

"Mother," Zhou Wei said despite his youthful spirit, but he didn't dare to take it seriously.He stepped forward, grabbed Mrs. Yongchanghou's sleeve and said, "Mother, calm down and listen to the child to tell you well."

Zhou Wei originally had a monstrous look on his face, but now he had the annoying look of a childish rascal, and Mrs. Yongchang Hou felt a little angry when she saw it.

"Tell me well, what are you talking to me?" Mrs. Yongchanghou said angrily, "Anyway, before your father comes back, please stay in the mansion for me."

"Mother, I am your son, but I am also a citizen of Qi, right?"

There was a trace of dignity in Zhou Wei's hippie smile, "Now that Xia Bing has arrived at the door of our house, we can't hide at home and be a turtle. Soldiers can be killed and cannot be humiliated. Even an old man like Qin Guogong will lead troops to fight. Why don't you have the face to go out. Don't you have to put your face in your pocket every time you go out?"

Although he tried his best to make Mrs. Yongchanghou laugh, but Mrs. Yongchanghou kept a straight face without a hint of a smile.

She didn't have this son until she was in her 30s. She doesn't care if he is naughty on weekdays, but she dare not take the risk because swords have no eyes on the battlefield.

Zhou Wei was secretly anxious, he winked at Zhang Li who was next to him, and Zhang Li walked out calmly.

After a while, Mrs. Yongchang Hou came over with the support of two maids.

Mrs. Yongchang Hou saw the old lady coming, she stood up quickly, and greeted her with a smile, "Mother, you are not in good health, why are you here?"

After winter, like all the old people, the old lady of Yongchang Hou suffered from old problems, and she kept her in the house on weekdays, and rarely went out of the house.

"If I don't come again, I'm afraid there will be a lot of trouble here." Mrs. Yongchanghou said with a straight face.

In front of many servants, Mrs. Yongchang Hou was a little embarrassed. It is an indisputable fact that the old lady loves her grandson, but she is old after all, and it is okay to be indifferent to many things, but she still blindly favors her in this matter. Connivance, Mrs. Yongchanghou firmly disagrees.

"Mother, you also know that Wei'er has always been naughty. I'm his mother, can I still harm him?" Mrs. Yongchanghou was not as patient as before, and seemed a little irritable.

The old lady was supported by the girl and sat on a carved rose chair. Although her body was old, her momentum remained unabated. "I know you are his mother, so naturally I won't harm him. But you have to be reasonable in everything, and you can't justify being unreasonable just because you are his mother."

Mrs. Yongchang Hou's face was a little ugly, she endured it and did not speak.

The old lady no longer looked at her, but held the crutches in both hands, leaned forward slightly, and said to Zhou Wei with a pleasant face: "Wei'er, tell grandma, why are you arguing with your mother?"

"Grandmother, Wei'er didn't quarrel with mother," Zhou Wei said seriously, "Now that Xia Bing has arrived in Lindu City, as a dignified man of Qi, I don't want to be that shrinking turtle. I just want to lead troops to kill the enemy. Mother disagrees." .”

"Well," the old lady sat upright with a solemn expression, "How old is Wei'er this year?"

"After the Spring Festival, you will be eighteen."

"You are already an adult." The old lady nodded, "Wei'er is right. I think your grandfather had led troops to fight against the enemy back then, and that's why I have had generations of honor in the Marquis of Yongchang. Now Qi is in trouble. The descendants of the Marquis of Yongchang cannot hide at home."

She stood up and slammed her cane on the ground, "Wei'er, grandma supports you in fighting the enemy!"

Mrs. Yongchang Hou was anxious, she stepped forward to stop her and said, "Mother, I only had a child named Wei'er when I was 30 years old. If he goes here, if there is any good or bad, it will kill me, mother! "

The old lady stood there majestically with a cane, and the wind was blowing her white hair. She was originally a dying old man, but out of thin air she gave birth to an awe-inspiring aura.

Seeing that the old lady and his wife were at a stalemate, all the servants in the yard dared not make a sound.

Zhou Wei said: "Mother, grandma is right, don't stop me."

"Shut up," Mrs. Yongchang Hou turned her head, her tearful eyes were full of anger, anger, and worry.

After being married into the mansion for so many years, she is known for being gentle and generous, not to mention arguing with her mother-in-law, even speaking loudly.

Now that she is openly disobeying her mother-in-law, if it wasn't for Wei'er, why would she do this.

The old lady looked at her for a long time before she said meaningfully: "Hong Lian, when you first entered the mansion, you should have known that we were military generals. Wei'er's father is now sent to the south of the Yangtze River to protect the people. The descendants of the family, how can they stand by and watch.

From the moment Wei'er was born, he was not only your son, but he also carried the heavy responsibility of his family and country. "

Mrs. Yongchanghou covered her face, and tears flowed from her fingers, "But mother, you have to be considerate of me. I am a mother, and I just want to protect my child. Is there something wrong with that?"

"You're not wrong, what's wrong is that Wei'er was born in the Hou Mansion." The old lady's tone was light, "You won't let Wei'er go, don't tell me, do you want me to personally lead the troops to kill the enemy?"

Mrs. Yongchang Hou's body softened, and she looked at the old lady who was struggling to walk in front of her in astonishment.

Although she also knew that the old lady had been at the border with the old master for many years when she was young, but when she saw her, the old lady had restrained her sharpness, and gave off a tolerant and gentle appearance, so much so that she almost forgot Well, the old lady has also been on the battlefield.

"Mother, don't insist." Zhou Wei got up and bowed to the old lady of Yongchang Hou, "Grandma, don't worry, Wei'er will definitely fight the enemy bravely, and will never embarrass the Hou family."
