Shen You didn't say much to his second uncle and nodded.
Shen Mao knew his nephew's temper well and didn't take it to heart. He said enthusiastically: "This General He has a mediocre background. He was an ordinary soldier in the Yuan Army more than 20 years ago. He has repeatedly made meritorious deeds on the battlefield. I became a corps commander, and later relied on military merit to become a general step by step."
"Among the military generals of the Manchu Dynasty, General He did not have the highest military rank, but his fighting ability was first-rate."
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has chosen General He as the commander-in-chief this time, and he also intends to reuse General He."
"When you go on an expedition with General He, you must humbly ask for advice. Learning 30% to 50% of your fighting skills will be enough for you."
The Minister of War highly praised General He, and his second uncle also said the same.
It can be seen that General He is a really capable person.
No wonder General He was cold to him. In General He's eyes, he, a young boy from the Jinyiwei family, just wanted to share the credit.
Shen Mao then carefully instructed Shen You on the key points of fighting on the battlefield: "On the battlefield, don't just rush forward. No matter how brave a person is, he can't defeat hundreds of thousands of people. You must protect your own life..."
Shen You continued to nod.
After Shen Mao talked for a while, he remembered that Shen You and Feng Shaojun wanted to move out of Shen's mansion.
Shen Mao didn't take it seriously. Shen Mao didn't take it seriously. If he married a daughter-in-law with both wealth and beauty, living in her daughter-in-law's dowry house was nothing. Could it be that Feng Shaojun disliked her because her dowry was too generous?
"Your aunt has told me that you and Shaojun want to move to Cui Zhai." Shen Mao said casually: "I will come back to see your aunt from time to time."
Shen Mao also agreed, and there was no resistance to this matter.
Shen You felt relieved and a smile flashed in his eyes: "Second uncle, just don't blame me for making my own decisions."
Shen Mao smiled and said: "If you marry a wife and start a family, you are an adult. It's just moving to Cui's house, it's not murder and arson. I have nothing to blame."
"I only hope that your brothers will have the same potential as you and that they will shine in the Shen family in the future. Even if I go underground, I will have the honor to meet my father and eldest brother."
Speaking of this, Shen Mao felt a little sad.
The Shen family had a prosperous life in the past.
It's a pity that his skills are mediocre and he doesn't know how to work in a camp. He has been a member of a thousand households for so many years. The Shen family has not become an ordinary military commander.
There are four brothers in this generation. The eldest son, Shen Lin, works hard as a errand and has worked hard in the south of the Yangtze River. He has no problem being a member of a thousand households. The second son, Shen Mo, is working as the emperor's personal guard in the palace and has a future. Shen Jia is the youngest. Don't expect a promising career for someone who is out of touch. Just be stable and avoid getting into trouble.
If you want to revitalize the Shen family, you have to be Shen You.
Shen Mao pulled Shen You and kept talking. Da Feng reminded him with a smile: "Silang is going to the military camp tomorrow morning and has to pack his luggage tonight. Stop dragging Silang around."
We've only been married for four days! Let the young couple get along for a while. It would be great if Shaojun is happy.
Mrs. Feng was secretly thinking about it, not knowing that Feng Shaojun secretly took contraceptive pills every day.
This was also discussed between Feng Shaojun and Shen You.
If she gets married first, she won't be in a hurry for the baby for the time being. After a few years, when Emperor Long'an dies and the crown prince ascends the throne, and everything is settled, she can prepare to conceive and have a baby.
The night before parting, the young couple had a good time with each other. There is no need to go into details.
The gauze curtain on the couch was swaying all the time. The candlelight was not extinguished until the third watch.
At five o'clock the next day, Shen You said goodbye to Shen Mao and Da Feng. Feng Shaojun sent Shen You to the front door.
A thousand kinds of reluctance linger in my heart.
Feng Shaojun stared at his newlywed husband: "You must come back safely."
Shen You looked deeply at Feng Shaojun: "You should also take care of yourself."
His eyes were glued and lingering.
After a while, Shen You forced himself to look away, got on his horse, and rode away.
Feng Shaojun stood at the door, watching Shen You's figure go away. His heart seemed to be hollowed out, empty.
Da Feng arrived at the door at some unknown time and whispered: "Silang has gone to pursue his future. He has been steady and measured since he was a child. Don't worry too much about him. He will definitely come back safely."
When I spoke later, my voice was a little choked and trembling.
I don’t know if I am comforting Feng Shaojun or comforting myself.
Feng Shaojun's slight sadness and loss dissipated a lot. He held Feng's arm and said softly: "Auntie is right. He has left. Let's not stand here. Let's go back first!"
Mrs. Feng hummed, then slowly returned to the inner hall, sat on a chair, and didn't speak in a daze. She didn't know what she thought of, her eyes turned red, and tears fell down.
Feng Shaojun comforted him softly: "Don't worry, aunt. The imperial court sent 20,000 soldiers, and the garrison near Jizhou can also deploy more than 10,000 soldiers. With such a large number of troops, it will be no problem to deal with thousands of bandits and rebellious garrison troops. .”
Da Feng choked up and said: "That's what I say, swords have no eyes, and who can say accurately what happens on the battlefield. Although Shiro is a nephew, in my eyes, he is no different from my own son. Once he leaves, It feels like something is missing in my heart."
When the eldest son left Beijing, he was already past his prime. He had a wife and children, and they went to Jiangnan together. She didn't worry much at that time. Shen You was only seventeen years old, and he had to lead troops to fight just a few days after getting married.
Mrs. Feng felt very unhappy. She covered her face with a handkerchief and cried softly.
In comparison, Feng Shaojun, who was newly married, was extraordinarily calm and said softly: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince values his support and allows him to go to the military camp to train. This is just the beginning."
"Auntie has to get used to it slowly."
yes!
Anyone who marries a military commander has to adapt to life without her husband around.
Shen Mao also stayed in the Jinyiwei camp all year round. It was common for him to not come back for a month or two when he was busy.
If a military general wants to make a career, he has to risk his life, and licking blood with the tip of a sword is nothing.
Mrs. Feng wiped away her tears and forced out a smile: "Look at me, I'm so old, I still can't think as clearly as you."
Feng Shaojun pursed his lips and smiled, then changed the subject: "Yesterday we went to the East Palace to have an audience, and Concubine Taisun had a stomachache. I wonder if she gave birth safely."
Da Feng's attention was indeed attracted: "I heard that the concubine is pregnant with twins. It is difficult for women to give birth, and it is even more difficult to give birth to twins."
"So far, there has been no good news from the palace, which shows that I haven't given birth yet."
When a woman suffers from abdominal pain, some women can give birth in two or three hours. Some women can give birth to a baby in two or three days.
In her previous life, Yuan Min safely gave birth to a pair of twins, a dragon and a phoenix. The presence of a dragon and a phoenix was a great joy for the royal family. Half a day and one night later, the child should have been born safely. However, the Shen family was not well-informed, and the good news had not yet reached the Shen family. That’s all.
Feng Shaojun knew it well and chatted casually with Da Feng.
Half a day later, the good news that the grandson had given birth to twins, a dragon and a phoenix, finally spread.
