Chapter 907 Family Letter
On the sixth day of December, Xiao Ruxun, who had left Qufu to re-lead the army into the Northern Expedition, received a somewhat special letter.

The letter was sent by Chen Xie directly from Burma, and the word "Daddy" was crookedly written on the envelope. The moment Xiao Ruxun saw the letter, he suddenly felt his nose a little sore, and then his eyes blurred uncontrollably , Tears fell directly.

This is a letter written by his son and daughter to Xiao Ruxun together. The word "Daddy" is written on the envelope, one is written by his son Zhenbang, and the other is written by his daughter Yingying.

There were two letters in the envelope, one was written by Caiyun, and the other was in the crooked handwriting of two little guys. Caiyun said in the letter that they had a good and comfortable life in Myanmar. He taught Xiao Zhenbang very strictly to read and practice calligraphy, and started to practice martial arts under the guidance of his grandfather.

Little Yingying is also studying, and Caiyun personally teaches Yingying to read and practice calligraphy, saying that she wants to educate Yingying to be a qualified lady, so she needs to study and practice calligraphy, but she doesn’t read a lot. She thinks her daughter’s family doesn’t need to read so many books, but We must learn more from female celebrities, and we must learn how to care for our husbands and teach our children.

The letter from the two little guys was written crookedly, such simple words as "How is Daddy?" "Zhenbang is fine" and "Yingying is fine". Xiao Ruxun hurriedly wiped away tears when Yuan Huang was called to see him, and invited Yuan Huang in.

As soon as Yuan Huang came in, he was surprised when he saw Xiao Ruxun's red eyes.

"Ji Xin, what is this?"

Xiao Ruxun picked up the letters from his son, daughter and wife and handed them to Yuan Huang: "The family letter from Caiyun contains all the letters from Zhenbang and Yingying to me. These two little guys can write letters, hehe..."

Yuan Huang's face was beaming, and he took the letter, and after seeing it, his face was also full of smiles.

"Zhenbang and Yingying have also reached this age. This year, they must be six years old, right?"

Xiao Ruxun nodded, and said with a smile: "One year old is five years old, Xu is six years old, the two children are twins, born on the same day, since I went north to Datong, Shanxi, and now, it has been a year, and I have only met Zhenbang and Yingying once. The first time I saw the two little guys hadn't learned to write, but now they can write, and the children grow up too fast."

Yuan Huang put down the letter and said with a smile: "Yes, the children grow up too fast. In the blink of an eye, five years have passed."

"When Caiyun was pregnant, I went to North Korea to fight. The fight lasted half a year. When she was pregnant, I was not by her side. I rushed back before she gave birth. After the child was born for a month, I hurried south to conquer the cave. Wu Guo, after the war is over, it will take several months, and finally we have three years to spend with our family, but in the end, we have continued to conquer this year, Duke Yuan, I really feel sorry for them."

Xiao Ruxun couldn't help but wiped his eyes.

For some reason, at this moment, he couldn't hold back his tears, and his heart, which he thought was as hard as iron, softened at this moment.

Perhaps at this time, only family members are the last trace of warmth in Xiao Ruxun's heart.

Yuan Huang said slowly: "A man's ambition is everywhere, but if he has time, he still needs to spend more time with his family. This world is not peaceful, and no one knows whether this meeting will be the last time. Family happiness is not everyone's favorite." able to enjoy."

"Yeah, that's why I feel sorry for the three of them, mother and child, because I have been fighting outside all year round."

Xiao Ruxun smiled and picked up the letter paper and began to write a reply.

"Caiyun also asked me if I want to teach Zhenbang the art of war right now. Such a young child, what kind of art of war does he know? Back then, the four brothers in our family learned the art of war after they were ten years old. Now we should lay a solid foundation and learn the art of war. Once you have recognized all the words, you understand the principles you should understand, and then you can learn martial arts with a good physical foundation."

Yuan Huang agrees.

"Well, the child is still young, so it's really unnecessary for him to learn the profound knowledge of the art of war, but if he wants to practice martial arts, he should prepare early and lay the foundation early, so that his body will be stronger in the future."

"Also, Caiyun asked me if I wanted to bind Yingying's feet, but my daughter, Xiao Ruxun, still had her feet bound? Caiyun didn't bind her own feet, so why did she let her daughter's feet be bound?"

Xiao Ruxun was only dissatisfied with this point.

"Ji Xin, you don't intend to bind Yingying's feet?"

Yuan Huang looked at Xiao Ruxun in surprise.

"That's natural. Why do you have to bind your feet? Why do you have to bind your natural feet? Well, one person is half disabled. I've always wondered what kind of crooked person is able to force women to bind their feet. Come out and let my daughter suffer for no reason."

Xiao Ruxun's objection to footbinding really surprised Yuan Huang.

In the current era, foot binding is not only a fashion, but also a status symbol. Farm women often need to work in the fields, and they don’t have the capital to bind their feet. There are even regulations in eastern Zhejiang that women from lowly households are not allowed to bind their feet, that is, It is said that foot binding not only requires status, but also money, and most people can't afford it.

In this era when only the daughters of rich families can bind their feet, if you don’t let your daughter’s feet be bound, you will easily be ridiculed and excluded by others, just like Kang Youwei who later refused to let his daughter’s feet be bound, and was greatly excluded in his hometown.

At present, this unreasonable bad habit cannot be shaken, but Xiao Ruxun can't accept that footbinding happened to her daughter no matter what, the natural pair of feet insists on crippling her, that kind of appearance makes people unbearable to look at.

"Although this kind of thing is mostly decided by the father, Ji Xin, you have to consider other people's opinions. Judging from your current status, this is not a trivial matter. It is related to Yingying's lifelong event in the future."

Yuan Huang seemed to want to persuade Xiao Ruxun.

"Xiao's daughter can't get others to gossip, and her own daughter can't be in charge? There was no custom of footbinding in ancient times, and it gradually flourished since Song Dynasty, so it is not necessary to do it. Xiao admires Qin, Han and Tang. The merits of three generations should be used as a standard to motivate yourself."

Xiao Ruxun just wrote a letter to his family: "Not only that, but you still have to read the books you should read. Caiyun himself has read many books, and he has also read military books. Back then, Caiyun personally went to battle to beat the drums for our army when he defeated the city. Cheering, the morale of our army was greatly boosted, so we defeated the Taolu with inferior forces, Caiyun is a strange woman, it is my luck to marry her, so how can our daughter disappear from everyone?"

Yuan Huang knew that he could not persuade Xiao Ruxun anymore.

I always feel that Xiao Ruxun is very different from others in some strange places, such as not taking concubines, not being close to women, not liking money, not liking flattery, and not liking women's footbinding. Of course, this kind of thing is not a big deal. The things are the big things.

"Ji Xin, there is at most half a month before arriving in the capital. If you hurry up, you will be able to arrive in the capital in ten days. After arriving in the capital, you should prepare for some things. If you are prepared now, you will be able to deal with it in the future."

Yuan Huang stated the purpose of coming here.

In order to prevent the last thing you want to see happen, some things need to be prepared in advance.

For example, the many reforms that Xiao Ruxun wanted to achieve.
