Even though Xiao An was in the military camp, he had already arranged for someone to inform him immediately if anything happened at his mother's side.
Although I don't know the content of the letter my mother received, I know that the letter is not from me. The news came from outside and there was a special person in charge.
So, I came back as soon as I received the news.
When the three masters met, they understood each other tacitly, wrapping all the dumplings, lighting the fire, preparing the dipping sauce, and setting the dishes and chopsticks on the table.
Soon, the plump dumplings came out of the pot. The family went to eat the dumplings while someone in the kitchen took care of them.
"Drink something?" He Zexu poured himself a glass of wine and asked his wife sitting next to him with a flask.
Wei Zijun looked at the wine bottle in his hand and was startled. He looked at his two sons who were eating dumplings as if nothing had happened, and his heart felt warmer. These two and three were still worried about her.
"Dad, why do you want mom to drink? Is there anything special happening today? Why do I think you are all a little weird?" Before Wei Zijun could respond, Ruyi beside him spoke.
Ruyi is not sure exactly what is wrong.
"What are you kid talking about? What's wrong? Didn't you forget that your mother always said that the more you drink, the more dumplings you get?" He Zexu didn't want his daughter to worry, so he said quickly.
Ruyi shook her head: "Mom did say this, but when we eat dumplings at other times, dad, you didn't ask mom if she drank alcohol?"
Wei Zijun looked at his daughter who was serious about her, and then at her husband who doted on his daughter, and thought to himself, let's see how you explain it, your daughter is not that easy to fool.
Moreover, Wei Zijun felt that he might not be able to hide this matter from his daughter.
"Ahem, wouldn't it be fun to make us new clothes today? I'm drinking. Dad is alone without a companion. You three are still young. I can't let you escorts drink with daddy?" He, who is not good at lying,
Zexu tried his best to deceive his daughter.
Xiao An, who was on the side, couldn't stand listening to his father's blunt explanation: "Sister, don't listen to dad, you don't know his little tricks." After saying that, he gave his sister a look that you know.
"Why is this kid so glib? Don't talk nonsense in front of your sister, or you will lead her into trouble. I'll slap you." Wei Zijun said softly, pretending to be stern.
Even though he knew that his son said this to help his father calm down and deceive his sister, Wei Zijun's face still turned red.
Why is she red? Because of her guilty conscience, He Zexu told her more than once when they were making out at night that she was more relaxed after drinking.
Xiao An made a gesture of rubbing his hands to admit his mistake. This interruption made everyone laugh, but it concealed Ruyi's suspicion.
After dinner, the family of five took a walk in the backyard to eat.
"Have you really figured out what to do?" He asked in a low voice as he looked at Xiao An, who was not far away dragging his sister to swipe treasures, and then at Xiao Le, who was quietly following behind.
"Yeah, I've thought about it." Wei Zijun responded with a relaxed tone.
He Zexu tilted his head and looked at her, a little unconvinced. How could such a difficult and seemingly unsolvable problem be solved by just struggling for a while?
As if sensing his doubts, Wei Zijun raised his eyebrows: "In fact, it's not that difficult to solve. If you think about it more simply, it will be easier. Qi Qinsheng brought the two of them here just to intimidate me.
Let me bow my head and compromise.
But, if those two people are not in his hands, what can he use to coerce me? Will he go back and arrest a few Wei clan members?
What's more, even if he expresses his anger again, he definitely doesn't dare to do anything to the entire Wei family. Even if he dares, the rest of the Qi family will not agree.
It’s just two people, and it’s not like we can’t afford to support them, so it’s just right for us to keep Wei Shulin and the others company.”
After saying this, he didn't hear any response from his side. When he turned around, he saw the father and son standing behind him, staring blankly at each other.
"What, is it wrong for me to do this?" Seeing these two people reacting like this, he asked.
"Mom, no, no, of course this is the best." Xiao Le said excitedly.
He Zexu also nodded repeatedly: "Yes, we made the problem complicated."
Wei Zijun breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that both father and son agreed with her handling of the matter. Their reactions just now made her think that her decision was wrong.
"Dad, please take a walk with your mother, while your son goes to Uncle Leng to discuss arrangements." Xiao Le said.
The couple nodded and watched their son walk farther and farther with light steps.
He Zexu didn't go with him. He knew that his son and the others would ask for anything he needed to do.
The couple continued to walk forward, but Xiao An still maintained the crouching stance. Ruyi kept changing positions, trying to push each of them down but never succeeded. Xiao An was firmly nailed to the spot like a nail.
"Dad, brother, he bullied me." Ruyi complained to her father.
He Zexu smiled slightly, watching his daughter take action again, and flicked a corn in her hand towards his son's leg.
"Ouch." Xiao An was pushed by his sister and staggered, almost sitting on the ground.
"Hahaha, mother, I did it, big brother was pushed by me, and I won." Ruyi clapped her hands happily.
"Mom?" Xiao An, who was defeated by the conspiracy, wanted to complain to her mother, but seeing her sister so happy, she couldn't bear to let her down, so she had no choice but to suffer the consequences.
The brother and sister were betting that if Xiao An lost, he would take Ruyi to the military camp for three days.
Ruyi won and ran back to pack up the things he needed to bring for the next day.
"Mom, my sister is going to the military camp for three days. Why don't you object?" Xiao An asked in confusion after her sister walked away.
He Zexu reached out and patted him: "Isn't this what you agreed upon? Are you sure that your sister can't win? Boy, you can't do this as a brother, it's not authentic."
Xiao An accepted the loss and did not refute. Without his father's plot, his sister would never have won.
"Please arrange for your sister to stay for a few more days. Also, do you remember that this time you can only do it in the dark and cannot show your face?" Wei Zijun warned.
Xiao Le had already avoided Ruyi and told Xiao An about the letter after dinner, so now he listened to his mother's instructions and understood the intention. He didn't want the three siblings to show up in front of their grandparents.
"Okay, my son knows what to do." Xiao An responded seriously.
Just when he saw his younger brother leaving first, Xiao An knew that Xiao Le had gone to do business. Therefore, he was not in a hurry to go back to the military camp overnight. He wanted to wait here for his younger brother to come back and take his sister to the military camp tomorrow morning.
A caravan came to an inn in a small town a hundred miles away and took over the inn, which was deserted.
Although the requirements of the caravan were a bit harsh, for the sake of money, the innkeeper carefully arranged for the innkeeper to take a few days off. He and his son were left to work in the inn.
"Dad, why do I think they are not businessmen at all?" the son muttered quietly.
Hearing this, the old shopkeeper quickly looked around to make sure there was no one from the caravan nearby, and then warned in a low voice: "Bastard, who do you care about them? They have the government road in their hands. From now on, you give
I just have to pretend to be stupid, otherwise, not to mention not making money, our lives will not be saved."
In the upper room upstairs, it was the first time that the Song family had traveled such a long distance, and their face was sallow and their whole body looked haggard.
"Master, do you think she will care about our lives?" Mrs. Song leaned on the chair and quilt and asked weakly...
