The Ups and Downs of Mrs. Yipin

Chapter 95 Sudden Arrival
Returning after a long absence, Fang Xiu has been very busy since returning home, bathing and changing clothes, meeting with the steward, dinner, and a lot of other things.She and He Huai'an went to Siyuan's yard after seeing Fei Yu at night.

Siyuan's room was lit with gentle lights, and the guards outside the courtyard stood quietly, saluting He Huai'an and Fang Xiu.Mu Xi, the servant next to Siyuan, opened the door swiftly.

"Father, mother!" Siyuan was sitting at the table, seeming to be thinking about something.When Fang Xiuyi saw her son meditating under the lamp, she felt the same as He Huai'an, a little unreal.

"Yeah. Siyuan, what are you doing?" Fang Xiuyi looked at the table casually, it was very clean and tidy.She had told the two children before that they should not use their eyes too much after dark, and it seemed that they still did it.

"I'm thinking about the article the teacher said during the day."

"By the way, my lord, has the gentleman you mentioned last time entered the mansion?" He Huai'an said that he wanted to find a peerless genius to tutor Siyuan, but she didn't bother to ask afterward.

"Live in the back yard."

Fang Xiuyi just wanted to hold Siyuan's hand and say a few words, when she saw Siyuan kneeling upright in front of her, she was startled.

"What's the matter? Siyuan. Get up quickly, let's sit down and talk if we have something to say. Be good, get up quickly."

"Mother, I have something to tell my mother."

"Let's just say it, what are you doing kneeling?" Fang Xiuyi asked strangely.

"Mother, I know that Mother hopes that when I grow up, I can enter the imperial court like my father, with one person under ten thousand. However, I'm afraid I will let Mother down."

"Why?" Fang Xiu glanced at He Huai'an, but He Huai'an didn't give her an answer, but just glanced back at her.

"Mother, I want to go to war!" Siyuan said forcefully.

"War?! Why? Why did you suddenly make such a decision? Your father, yes, sir, do you know?" Fang Xiuyi was a little shocked.

"Tell me."

"Told you? What do you mean? You know? Do you agree? What do you think?"

"Mother, I have indeed discussed this issue with my father. I have never dared to tell my mother, because I am afraid that my mother will be worried and disappointed."

"Wait a minute, let alone whether I am disappointed, why do you guys make this decision?"

"Mother, I used to take the imperial examination as my goal, but recently, I found that my desire for military affairs and war is greater than the imperial examination. Please agree." Siyuan looked at him enthusiastically with longing eyes. Fang Xiuyi.

Fang Xiu thought of the replay map of the war she saw on the table last time, she remembered how hard she had seen Siyuan practicing martial arts, and remembered seeing Siyuan's archery this time. Just with her.

"Mother asked the adults to find you a master to practice martial arts. I wanted you to exercise. I didn't expect to be the one who pushed you to change your life goals." Fang Xiuyi was not angry, but she was a little disappointed. She knew Siyuan's talent, plus With He Huaian's convenience, Siyuan will not be bad in his official career in the future, "Although the country lives and works in peace and contentment now, mother also knows that the border is unstable, and how many men will be buried in the battlefield."

"Mother, I know all this, but I really want to go to the battlefield. Besides, it's enough for my father to be an official at home."

"Your father is a high-ranking official, that's right. But have you ever thought that this high-ranking official is walking on thin ice, even the head on his neck is not his own. You are so talented, why don't you stay and help your father? Besides, you Have you ever thought, what will mother do if you really go to the battlefield? Do you have the heart to see mother worrying every day?"

He Huai'an coughed, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything.

"Mother, it's because it's not easy for Daddy to be an official, so I want to join the army. Mother, please rest assured, I will practice martial arts hard, and I will protect myself at any time." Siyuan's expression was very firm.

Sitting on the side of the bed, Fang Xiu looked at Siyuan, her exposed skin was a little rough from the sun, her handsome appearance was somewhat covered, but her eyes were so bright.

"Let mother see your hands." Fang Xiuyi grabbed Siyuan's hand.At such a young age, calluses have grown on the palms, they are rough to the touch, and there are even a few red marks, especially the tiger's mouth, which is worn out.Even in the toughest of days, she never imagined that her son would one day be like this.

Fang Xiuyi's tears kept falling, she didn't know what changes would happen in her life, but what she saw in front of her was already unbearable.For many people, the battlefield is a place where there is no return, and the sword has no eyes. Isn't there a poem that says "how many people have fought back in ancient times"?How could she have the heart to let her precious son go to such a cruel place?

"Mother..." Siyuan wanted to withdraw his hands, but Fang Xiuyi held them tightly.

"Xiuyi..." He Huai'an finally spoke, "Siyuan has already told me about this matter, and I agreed. I am also worried about my own child, but a man's ambition is everywhere, and being in the court may not be good matter."

"Yes, but it's safer than the battlefield, right? Here, I can watch Siyuan marry a wife and have children, and live a happy life. If I go to the battlefield, how long will it take me to see him? When will the family be reunited?" The best." Fang Xiuyi is very persistent in family reunion in this life.

"However, Xiuyi, one must have the life one wants in one's life."

"That's true, but it's not as good as being safe!"

"Mother..." Siyuan wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Fang Xiuyi.

"Okay, you can rest first, let mother think about it." Fang Xiuyi knew very well in her heart that she couldn't stop Siyuan's thoughts, but she really didn't want to take such a dangerous road far away.

Fang Xiuyi left Siyuan's yard in a hurry, eager to go back to her room, Shan Xing basically had to trot to keep up.

Finally sat in the room, but Fang Xiuyi's mood could not be stabilized, she kept pouring water from the apricot, pouring it into her stomach one cup after another, Xiaotao didn't know what happened, and she couldn't ask, so she hurried Prepare something for Fang Xiuyi to go to bed.

"My lord!" Xiaotao met He Huai'an who came back at the door.

"Well, you all go out, I have something to say to my wife."

"Yes." Both Shan Xing and Xiao Tao retreated quietly.

Fang Xiuyi ignored He Huai'an, this damned man already knew about it, and he didn't tell her.

He Huai'an sat down on his own and poured himself a glass of water.

"Xiuyi, I know that you can't accept the decision made by Siyuan and I for a while. But don't worry, you should think about it. I also know that Siyuan is very talented. If he takes the imperial examination, he will definitely pass the high school. However, in the court Being an official, intrigues and intrigues are not safe to say."

"Isn't your lord doing well?"

"That's because my circumstances were different. Before the emperor ascended the throne, I had followed his followers. After the emperor ascended the throne, he urgently needed trustworthy people, and I was one of them. My official career has almost reached the sky in one step. However, Siyuan has not This kind of opportunity. For my sake, others can take care of him or frame him." He Huai'an said very sincerely, "I am their father, and I also hope that their life will be smooth and stable. Because I am their father, I want them to walk a path that suits them."

Fang Xiuyi might have acted impulsively before, and she suddenly couldn't accept it at all, but after He Huai'an's analysis, she could also understand the stakes, just like she had always encouraged Fei Yu to have a skill. Live by a man all your life.But Siyuan's decision was too big, far beyond her expectations.

"Is it an adult who made the decision for Siyuan?" Fang Xiuyi didn't quite believe that Siyuan, a child, could have such an understanding.

He Huai'an shook his head with a wry smile, "Our children are far smarter than we imagined. Each of them has their own unique ideas and clear goals, which are beyond our control."

He Huai'an didn't say too much, because it was all about Fang Xiuyi, if Fang Xiuyi knew the original intention of the children's decision, she would be even more unacceptable.

"Oh, I've thought about it a lot, but I never thought that Siyuan would want to join the army. He's so young, why would he want to do this?" Fang Xiu couldn't figure it out.

"Didn't you say in the afternoon that violence can be eradicated immediately, and that the country can be governed immediately? Isn't that true for him to join the army?"

"Then I'm still talking about getting off the horse! Could it be that he should give up his studies?" Fang Xiuyi disagreed.

"Of course not! Siyuan is very talented. I will have the qualifications of a shadow prison under my name, and I can directly participate in the provincial examination. Three years later, Xin Zinian will be in the provincial examination. After the provincial examination, he will catch up with the general examination in the year of Wuchou. The next thing is the imperial examination. In this way, the imperial examination will be over when he is 15 years old. Mr. Gu has a friend in the northwest border, and I can ask him to take care of him. Besides, I have already found Siyuan's entourage. Don't worry , if after years of practice, he still can't meet the requirements, I won't let him go out, and Siyuan agreed."

Listening to He Huai'an non-stop talking about his established plan, Fang Xiuyi really felt that the situation was over. Siyuan had been determined since he was a child, and now He Huai'an was backing him with all his strength. It seemed that the military march was a sure thing.After Fang Xiu heard this, she was not very angry. She used to let Siyuan enter the court for the purpose of having a guarantee, but now that there is He Huai'an, her purpose is not so strong.Furthermore, she is also considered a highly educated person who knows how to be a champion. In this era, as long as she does not engage in business, it is not that she looks down on businessmen, but because the social status of businessmen is really low.

Siyuan said he wanted to join the army. The reason why she couldn't accept it was not because she disagreed with the decision, but more because the decision came too suddenly.In fact, she is still a little nervous. She saw Siyuan practicing so hard before, so she should have doubts. Which child can work so hard just for self-defense?Siyuan shot that arrow on the boat today, and I think it was the last decision to tell her, but she still didn't think about it.Some time ago, Siyuan also said in his letter that he would tell her one thing when she returned to Beijing, and it was probably this one.All these clues point to Siyuan's decision one by one, she just didn't think of it.Moreover, Siyuan didn't tell her before, maybe because he didn't want to disappoint and sad her.

"Will this be too hard? Siyuan is so young, can he take the imperial examination? Besides, I heard from adults that Siyuan finished the imperial examination at the age of 15. Shouldn't he be on the battlefield at the age of 15? Too young!" When Fang Xiu heard about such a dense arrangement, she felt that it was too hard.

"It won't be too hard, and Siyuan can handle these things with ease. Although he is young, it is not without precedent. In the early years of Emperor Gaozu, there was a 13-year-old Tanhua. Moreover, in the year of the imperial examination, Siyuan I don’t leave home, and I will leave at the age of 16 the next year.”

"13 years old?" Fang Xiuyi asked in surprise, "How talented is this! Then what happened to this person?"

"This person is indeed recorded in the history books, but it is strange to say that this person disappeared after high school. At that time, there were still many good people who wrote a lot of speculation books, and it was very lively."

"I heard that being able to enter the imperial examination is already a great thing. By the way, my lord, since Siyuan is going to join the army, can someone teach me about marching and formation?" Fang Xiu put down the matter of the imperial examination, and immediately began to worry about fighting. things.

"The teacher I hired this time is proficient in both civil and military skills."

"But don't be someone who talks on paper."

"Speaking of which, the teacher has only one apprentice in the military, and that is Master Gu's friend."

Fang Xiuyi didn't say anything else, since it's already been decided, then it's better to work hard towards the goal with all your strength. At this time, it will be of no benefit to anyone to block or blame others. It's better to face it face to face and be stronger.
