Chapter 491 The Adopted Son Joins the Army 1
Sitting in the living room, Ji Xinmiao took a charcoal pen and thought on the rice paper while drawing various gift bamboo baskets from the memory of her previous life.The current fruit preservation method of the Qi family is more advanced, and many fruits are not sold in season.In previous years, the Jiang family sent the fruits to the provincial capital. This year, Jiang Jialei came here and wanted to transport the fruits to the capital, where there was a shortage of fruits during the Chinese New Year.Since the fruit can be preserved for a long time, it is better to transport it to the capital as a New Year's gift.

Jiang Jialei's words reminded Ji Xinmiao, who didn't use fruit to visit relatives and friends during the Chinese New Year in the previous life?It's just that there are too few fruits in this world at the end of the year, and ordinary people can't afford them.But the capital is full of royal family and nobles, high-ranking officials and nobles, and there are a lot of people with money. If this fruit is put into a fruit flower basket, the price may even be doubled.

Jiang Jialei has already gone to the province to search for all kinds of colors, and of course there are hard silk and patterned paper for tying silk flowers.And she is responsible for drawing some bamboo baskets of different shapes and looking for several skilled bamboo craftsmen.

After a "plop", Hu Zi's voice came: "Mother, my son has something to discuss with you."

Ji Xinmiao woke up from her contemplation, saw Huzi kneeling in front of her eyes and asked in surprise: "Huzi, what are you doing? Get up quickly. Just talk about it if you have something to do. Why do you need to kneel in front of your mother?" of?"

But Huzi looked hesitant and embarrassed: "Mother, my son has something to ask mother for forgiveness."

Ji Xinmiao had some ideas in her mind, she thought that she might have come here for some happy event, and immediately said softly: "Hu Zi, since you call me mother, you don't have to kneel at every turn. Although the holy book says, a man kneels If you have gold, you should kneel down to the emperor and teacher, and kneel down to your parents. But our family doesn’t like this, so we can just talk about what we have to do, not to mention sin or innocence, and we will always call our relatives unfamiliar.”

Huzi didn't get up as he said, but kowtowed to Ji Xinmiao three times before standing up and said: "Mother, my son is smelly, please punish me. My son grew up by your side and has always enjoyed the mother's true love between mother and child." Today, my son dared to ask his mother for two things, one is to ask his mother to allow his son to join the army, and the other is to ask his mother to allow him to give Xixi to his son!"

join the army?

Ji Xinmiao stood up in shock, looked at Huzi who was standing straight in front of him and asked reluctantly: "Huzi, why do you want to join the army? Are you seeking fame? No, you can't go to the battlefield. Swords and guns Eyeless, it’s not like you can get out of your body if you say you can get out of it.”

Huzi knew that Ji Xinmiao had asked this question, so he stepped forward to help Ji Xinmiao sit down, and then sat down opposite her and said solemnly: "Mother, wanting to join the army has been my ambition since I was a child, since my mother told me stories when I was young." , the son thought that one day he would be able to go to the battlefield and become an upright soldier. Now the border war is rekindled, the northern barbarians are burning, killing and looting the border, and the people at the border are displaced. My son is an aspiring young man who wants to go to the border to train some.

But mother, please rest assured, my son will be fine. Over the years, he has practiced martial arts and read military books every day without interruption. I have this confidence that I will come back to see my mother alive.I also beg my mother, for the sake of always loving her son, that Xixi not give her to others before she reaches Jiji.Hu Zi is mother's adopted son, if Hu Zi becomes mother's son-in-law, and son-in-law is half-son, then adopting son plus son-in-law makes Hu Zi really become mother's son. "

Huzi has been fond of martial arts since he was a child, and he was not fond of literature. This time he was a scholar in the last few places.Anqing is going to take the literary path in the future, he must be thinking that he is afraid that he will not be promising in the literary path, and Xixi will be looked down upon by others, so that's why he thought about it, right?

Ji Xinmiao has a lot of abilities in Huzi's body. He has never stopped practicing in the past ten years. Although he is not happy, what he has learned is the ability to face the enemy from Qi Dalang's brothers.If it was true as he said, he was just going to temper and seek a little fame with his ability, then it shouldn't be difficult.

Although she is not willing to let Huzi go to the battlefield, in this era of cold weapons, she is not so sure.But she also knows that a man's ambition is everywhere, and if he decides, as an adoptive mother, it's impossible for her to stop her, and she must confess.

Ji Xinmiao looked at him quietly: "Huzi, since you call me mother, mother will tell you the truth. If you want to go to the battlefield, you should come back after thinking about it. Since you have thought about it, That means you have already made up your mind, so I won't stop you. I just want to ask you, have you considered that you are your father's only son? You are now your father's only son. If you have an accident, then you Father will have no children and grandchildren!"

It's not that she has to say it so harshly, because the reality is like this.

She is just Huzi's adoptive mother, even if she is as close as mother and son, she still has to say what needs to be said!
As soon as Ji Xinmiao's words fell, Huzi was stunned, and then said solemnly: "Mother, I have thought about all this. My son is going to the border. He really wants to seek fame. But the son wants to go there the most. After tempering and gaining knowledge, I also want to realize my ambition.

I know that I am the only son of the Chen family. As the saying goes, there are three ways to be unfilial, and the greatest is to have no offspring. I will protect myself and prevent myself from being an unfilial descendant.But as a man in the world, he must stand upright, not only to be filial to his parents, but also to be filial to the heavenly dynasty.But now there is something going on in the court, as a martial artist who only knows that he is greedy for life and afraid of death, if he does not bring glory to the country, he is a disloyal person.Since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety have been difficult to achieve. If I live a mediocre life just for the sake of greed and fear of death, I am afraid that I will also live an unhappy life.

Mother, I know you are in trouble, and I know you are worried.Please believe me, my son will never disregard his own safety just because he seeks merit.Fame is important, but without life, everything is empty.Please rest assured that I will return safely. "

The persistence in Huzi's eyes let Ji Xinmiao know that she is not something she can dissuade, and Qi Dalang back then was not like him, who left everything and left just because of that bit of dignity and inferiority.Besides, a man will not mature without tempering, and he will cherish it only after experiencing it.

Ji Xinmiao looked at Huzi lovingly: "Huzi, mother has always known your ambition, and mother has always raised you like her own son. Over the years, mother has already seen that you are a person with ambition, since you said so , I can only hope you remember today's words, nothing is more important than life.

You said that you want to marry Xixi, but mother can't promise to marry her to you now. She is still young and doesn't know what it means to marry.I can only follow your request and not give her to others until Xixi reaches Ji.You are a famous scholar, and our Qi family has no military service, so remember, you must return safely after four years.After you come back, if Xixi is willing to marry you, mother will not stop her! "

"No! You can't go to the battlefield!" A cry came from outside the door, followed by a figure kneeling in front of Ji Xinmiao.
