Seeing his parents' reaction, Nie Hui couldn't help but smile and said: "Don't you understand? Brother Fan has been spotted by the second young master of the Yu family, and he is recommended to go to the Bow Army Camp!"

"Gong...Gong Barracks?"

Nie Dahai came back to his senses, looked surprised, and asked doubtfully: "What is the archer camp?"

Mrs. Xu didn’t understand even more, and she also had a confused expression on her face.

Common people like them probably only know a charge battalion led by Qin Jue.

"It is the imperial court's archery army." Nie Hui quickly explained after hearing this: "It is an army composed of archers. It is a special arm of the imperial court. It takes a very long time to train an outstanding archer, and what this arm requires is talent.

So not everyone can enter."

When Nie Hui explained this, Nie Dahai was so excited that he stood up from the edge of the kang.

"You said Brother Fan is going to join the imperial army? Just like General Qin did before?"

Nie Fan and Nie Hui couldn't help but smile at each other when they saw this, and then nodded at the same time: "Yes, that's what you meant."

Qin Jue was drafted by the army at the beginning, and he also started from the bottom of the infantry. It is indeed the same as Brother Fan's situation now.

"Oh daddy, this is a great thing!" Mrs. Xu also reacted. She didn't understand anything else, but as long as she understood the words "troops entering the imperial court," she would know what this meant.

In the future, Brother Fan may also perform meritorious service like General Qin, and then be awarded an official position and embark on the career of a military general.

Although it is too early to think about this now, it is indeed possible.

"How could there be such a good opportunity?" Nie Dahai's face turned red with excitement, and he said in disbelief: "You said that you came across such an opportunity during your trip to Huaiyang. This is God's blessing."

Seeing that his parents were happy about this, Nie Fan also smiled happily. It seemed that his decision was right. His parents also hoped that he could make a difference. This opportunity should not be missed.

And Nie Hui said: "With such an opportunity to show off his talents, Brother Fan almost gave up."

With one sentence, Nie Dahai's smile froze, and then he looked at the smiling Nie Fan and glared: "You are stupid, why should you give up?"

"It's not that the opportunity came too suddenly, and I didn't react myself. I had a lot of distracting thoughts in my mind, so I was a little hesitant." Nie Fan said truthfully: "But Ling'er woke me up, and all the distracting thoughts and so on were ignored when making important decisions.

Put it aside and consider only your own thoughts."

"It took me a lot of effort and careful thinking for several days before I figured it out."

Nie Fan told the truth, but he once again brought up Nie Ling'er's role in this matter.

I don’t know if it was intentional or intentional, Nie Hui also nodded and said casually: "Yes, thanks to Ling'er for guiding him. The second young master Yu came back to send his sister off to get married, and he only stayed in Huaiyang for half a month. If he missed it, it would be really bad."

I missed it."

Nie Dahai is not a fool either. He can't see that his two sons are deliberately mentioning Ling'er's good deeds here because of his own affairs.

But he didn't say much, he could only sigh in his heart.

But this matter of Brother Fan is really exciting. At this time, the imperial court has no longer conducted large-scale conscription. It makes people happy to have the opportunity to join the imperial army and it is a special force.

.

For a time, the gloom of Nie Hui failing the exam and returning to his hometown was temporarily diluted by the joy of this incident, and the family finally had a smile on their faces after so many days.

After a while, Qian'er jumped up and down to the front yard, stood at the door and shouted inside: "Uncle and aunt, Brother Hui and Brother Fan, grandma asked you to go to the backyard for dinner."

Today is the day when Brother Kun returns to his hometown for the imperial examination and high school. The Nie family jumped to the dragon gate overnight and became an official family.

Although Brother Hui failed the exam and now his family is divided, this is a great thing to honor the ancestors. The whole family must be together, which is what the old lady means.

Nie Dahai and Mrs. Xu knew this, and they no longer objected to having dinner together with their second and third brothers, because both Nie Dahai and Mrs. Xu were secretly thinking about improving their relationship with Nie Ling'er if they had the opportunity.

Now that you have this idea, you must move around more and eat together often, which is one way.

There are three big tables in the backyard. Today is a family banquet. It’s all the Nie family, Aunt Qin and Qin Liang, and Wang Qichen’s family.

The elders sit at the largest table.

Then there were Nie Linger, Nie Hui, Nie Yong and other brothers and sisters sitting at the same table.

Nie Xuan, Qin Liang, Baoer Qianer, Huzi and their younger children sat at the same table.

The three tables were all crowded and very lively.

"It's been a long time since I've eaten Ling'er's food. Just smelling the aroma just made me want to die." Nie Yuanshan smiled honestly, looking longingly at the dozen or so delicious dishes on the table that were full of color, flavor and flavor.

It was Nie Ling'er's first time to make many of them, such as Furong Chicken Slices, Bao San Yang, Sauce Carp, etc. It was Nie Ling'er's first time to make them for her family.

When the old lady saw that everyone was gathered, she greeted: "Everyone, please use your chopsticks."

As the old lady opened her mouth, everyone picked up their chopsticks and started eating and laughing.

"Have you told your uncle about your trip to the capital?" Nie Ling'er asked curiously during the dinner.

Because when I saw the uncle and aunt arriving just now, their faces were radiant, especially the uncle’s face, which was full of red. It looked like something happy had happened.

Nie Fan smiled and nodded: "Your uncle will be happy to know."

"I can tell." Nie Ling'er also smiled.

All the brothers knew about this, but only Brother Yong didn't know yet. When he heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned: "Brother Fan is going to the capital? Why are you going to the capital?"

In this way, Nie Fan recounted the incident to Brother Yong.

Brother Yong was very excited when he heard it: "This is a great good thing. Ling'er is right. You can't be confused about this kind of thing. If you miss it, you may regret it for the rest of your life."

Nie Fan: "Don't you want to understand this? Fortunately, I didn't miss it!"

At the main table, Nie Dahai hesitated for a moment, but finally raised his glass and said to Nie Yuanshan: "Yuanshan, I would like to give you a toast. Congratulations to Brother Kun for your high school. It is the pride of our old Nie family."

Nie Dahai took the initiative to toast, which surprised Nie Yuanshan. After all, Brother Hui failed, and he didn't dare to comfort him, for fear that his elder brother would think he was showing off.

"Brother." Nie Yuanshan quickly picked up the wine glass and said smoothly: "Brother Hui missed, don't take it too seriously."

"Tsk, what's the matter with you?" When Wang heard this, she quickly patted Nie Yuanshan and said, "How can you talk like that? Really."

After finishing her words, Mrs. Wang looked at Nie Dahai and said, "Brother, don't take it to heart. Yuanshan is stupid and can't speak."

Nie Yuanshan also realized that he had said the wrong thing, and apologized with embarrassment: "Brother, I said the wrong thing, I'm sorry."

Nie Dahai knew Nie Yuanshan well and knew that his mistake was unintentional. He just laughed it off and said nonchalantly: "Oh, it's okay. It's not something that shouldn't be mentioned."
