"But it's going to cost her her life. She can't live a peaceful life, and she doesn't want a good family. She insists on doing such dangerous things. How do you want your mother to live?"
In the back house of Chengenhou Mansion, Zhao Shi stood outside his mother's door, his head lowered and silent.
The surrounding servants and women stayed far away, not daring to breathe. The back house was filled with the cries of Mrs. Chengenhou.
"How old are you, and you only want to earn military honors? Military honors are so easy to earn? Look at your father's legs. He has been lame all his life. If you have some shortcomings, how can you let your mother and father live?"
While Mrs. Zhao was crying, she was preparing a bag for her son in the house. She cried until she was so sad that her tears were like beads.
"You just stay at home, safe and sound. Can't we find a match for you and start a family in two years?"
His mother's cries and curses made Zhao Shi feel very uncomfortable.
His mother didn't have much knowledge, but this kind of genuine expression of concern for her son, who traveled thousands of miles away, made Zhao Shi feel as if there was a stone on his heart and a layer of heat in his eyes.
"Mother!" Zhao Shi choked and spoke, "My son is unfilial! I have made you worry all the time! But my son..." As he said this, he also shed tears, "My son is a man, and our Zhao family has received favor from the emperor. If our son doesn't know
If you make progress, you will be laughed at in the future!"
"Bastard!" Mrs. Zhao screamed and cursed, "You unfilial son, you'll wait a hundred times for me to say something! Who dares to laugh at you?" She cursed, threw away the things in her hands, and covered her face, "
You are the flesh that fell off my mother’s body! Normally, my mother feels distressed when she bumps into her, but now you actually... want to follow me to fight! Oh my God!"
"Mother!" Zhao Shi choked and wanted to go into the room to comfort his mother, but his footsteps stopped abruptly.
"No! You can't go!" Mrs. Zhao suddenly shouted, "I will go to the palace to beg your sister..."
"Shut up!"
Suddenly, a loud shout came from outside the hospital.
Mrs. Zhao stopped crying, and Zhao Sili limped in from the outside.
He first looked at his son standing in the courtyard, nodded without saying anything, and then went directly into the house.
When he entered the room, he scolded her, "I'm a woman with long hair and short knowledge. It's a good thing for children to have ambitions. Why are you crying?"
"I'm such a good boy. I've been pampered by you all day long and want to hold it in my hands. Is that all that's good? Don't you know how much a loving mother can lose her child?"
"If he goes to fight, can he charge forward like a big soldier? The emperor allows him to go because he cares about our son and thinks he is still a human being and wants to cultivate him!"
"He has become a successful man, and the empress and the prince will be proud of themselves in the future. If he only knows how to eat and wait to die, even dogs will be disgusted by it!"
"Take that teary rat of yours back to me! Let me tell you, my son is about to go to war. It's unlucky for you to cry and whine again. I'll f**king beat you to death!"
"Also, my son is going to fight! Why are you bringing him these scraps? He is going to kill people, not for a fucking spring outing!"
Zhao Sili's scolding made the shed buzz.
Mrs. Zhao was dumbfounded when she was scolded. This was the first time in his life that Zhao Sili scolded her so loudly.
"Throw away all these bits and pieces!" There was a clang, and it was obviously Zhao Sili who threw the box.
Afterwards, there was silence in the room, except for Mrs. Zhao's sobs.
"The fragrance next to you is pretty good. Is it more than ten years old?" Zhao Sili suddenly asked.
Mrs. Zhao was stunned, "Fourteen!"
"Let her wash up and wait!" Zhao Sili said, and came out of the room again with a cold face.
Mrs. Zhao in the room was still in a daze, but she suddenly understood in the next second.
She quickly wiped her tears and stood up, and told her grandma, "Quick, prepare hot water..." For a moment, her voice was a little panicked, "Prepare fragrant soap... prepare new clothes... white handkerchief!"
Outside the door, Zhao Shi also understood.
His parents wanted him to leave a seed for the family before he left!
The noble families of the Ming Dynasty seemed to have such a tradition!

"come over!"
In the yard, Zhao Sili glanced at his son and limped forward.
Zhao Shi followed silently, and the two of them arrived at Zhao Sili's study a few steps later.
The so-called study room was just a decoration for Chengenhou, who was born in a wealthy family. There were some old objects in the room.
Zhao Sili sat down, resting his right leg and straightening it.
Zhao Shi sat at the bottom with his head lowered.
"Think about it!" After a while, Zhao Sili said, "War is no joke!"
"Well!" Zhao Shi raised his head with light in his eyes, "My son has already thought about it!"
As he spoke, he nodded vigorously, "Son... A real man may or may not do something. If my son were the young master of the Zhao family before, he could naturally eat at home and wait to die. Because of your father, you are a small official with a little money.
Then arrange an errand and follow your old path!"
"But, my son is now the emperor's brother-in-law, the queen's biological brother, and the prince's biological uncle... He can't... he can't do nothing!"
Looking at his son's determined eyes, Zhao Sili felt a sudden pain in his heart.
As a father, I love my son even more, but I just can't express it.
"Okay!" After a long while, Zhao Sili finally said, "If you have this ambition, your father won't stop you!" After saying that, he sighed, "However, there are some things that father has to tell you!"
Zhao Shi stood up, bowed his head and listened.
The next second, his eyes fell on Zhao Sili's leg that could not be bent back. He took a step forward and knelt in front of his father.
As soon as he knelt down, Zhao Sili almost burst into tears.
"I'm telling you!" Zhao Sili said slowly, "Although it's not dangerous for you to join the army with your identity, it's hard to say anything when the war starts. I asked someone to find out whether Wu Lun, the chief military officer this time,
He is a talented killer who does not hesitate to kill, and his favorite thing is to lick blood with the tip of a knife!"
"If there is really danger..." Zhao Sili paused and loudly raised his voice, "Even if your life is in danger, you can't give in!"
Zhao Shi suddenly raised his head and looked at his father.
"If you give in, you won't be able to hold your head up for the rest of your life!" Zhao Sili glared, his eyes red, "If you give in, you'll be the butt of the joke!"
"My son knows!" Zhao Shi nodded vigorously.
"Your father and I were scared back then!" Zhao Sili patted his useless leg and said with a wry smile, "Without it back then, in order to save our lives, your father and I pretended to be dead in the city. We saved our lives, but we could only do this for the rest of our lives.
An official the size of a sesame seed will spend his whole life trying to make others smile!"
"Sometimes I think, if I hadn't given up and risked my life, maybe..."
"Father!" Zhao Shi interrupted Zhao Sili, "You use this leg to give mother, son, and our family a good life for decades. Now, our son is in his prime. The son has grown up.
It’s time for your son to earn face for you, the second elder!”
"Okay!" Zhao Sili's nose felt sore and tears almost fell.
"What does your son know?" Zhao Shi said with a solemn expression, "You know everything!" As he said that, he kowtowed heavily, "If an unfilial son bows to his father, he will not disgrace the Zhao family and act like a man!"
"good!"
Zhao Sili nodded vigorously.
But he was shouting in his heart, "Who the hell wants you to honor your ancestors, who the hell wants you to revitalize the family. I want you to come back alive!"
He also knew why his son had such a strong competitive spirit at such a young age.
Because his Zhao family's... foundation is too shallow.
They are so shallow that behind the queen and prince in the palace, there is no one they can rely on.
"Son! I won't tell you if there are too many!" Zhao Sili resisted the urge to hold his son in his arms, "Remember, don't be afraid on the battlefield. The more afraid you are, the more trouble will happen!"
"Yes!" Zhao Shi kowtowed vigorously.
At this moment, the butler appeared outside the door, "Master Marquis, Duke Cao Guo is here to visit!"
