At dawn, Qin's house was busy.
Qin Shubao, the master of the family, is with the three young masters who often stay at home. Today, he set out to go to Yuanren county to be an official. This is a great event that has never happened to the Qin family. Liu almost stayed up all night, taking the servants and maids in the house to prepare what they would use for their departure. They are well prepared, ranging from chariots and horses to sewing, shoes and socks.
For Qin mubai, it was destined to be a sleepless night.
It's only more than a year since he came to Datang. He doesn't know why he has such deep feelings for Chang'an, his family and many people here.
Separation is inevitable, and sadness is hard to restrain.
Whenever he saw his mother's tired look and red eyes, he felt a little uneasy. I can't persuade her to stop and have a rest.
No way, mother is such a character. I'm afraid that I will pay too little for the family and that I will not take care of my husband and son. Especially for Qin mubai, the thread in his mother's hand and the jacket of his son. I'm afraid I'll come back late.
Mother is never good at expressing this kind of feeling and always gives it simple action.
There is frost, she is no more idle than her mother, busy all night.
Perhaps, in addition to Qin mubai, there is Li Ke in her heart. This separation is not controlled by her, so she can only quietly accept the status quo, and did not like before to Qin mubai.
Maybe she didn't know where to start. There is a kind of sadness that cannot be explained. Qin mubai knows.
At dawn, Qin mubai went out of the room with his father. Their eyes were covered with blood. It was obvious that they didn't sleep well last night. Dalang Qintong and Erlang qinbin also took their families to see them off. There was a farewell banquet in Qin's house very early.
Family members sit around, Qin Shubao said: "Dalao Erlang, after father and Sanlang leave, you have to go home to take care of them."
"Yes, father." The two brothers agreed together.
"We Qin family It's been quiet for a long time After that, Qin Shubao gave a long cry and sighed, "time flies. I don't forgive you. I feel old for my father. If we don't take advantage of it, we'll have to wait for the loess to be buried. "
"Father. I'm ashamed... " Qin Tong and Qin bin lowered their heads in shame.
"I don't blame you." Qin Shubao took a subconscious look at Qin mubai and said with a smile: "every man has his own destiny, and wealth lies in heaven. Being a father has long been doomed to have nothing to do with the army. Now it's a great pleasure to be able to return to the army in his later years! But you brothers must be diligent day and night, and do not indulge yourself. The Qin clan, after all, depends on you to carry forward and develop! "
"Yes, father!" The three brothers answered in a deep voice.
"Good!" Qin mubai gave a big drink and raised the wine. "After this bowl of wine, all walks of life! When we get together again in the future, my father will compare you three one by one! "
"Father, please!"
After drinking a bowl of liquor, Qin Shubao's face turned red. He turned to look at Liu standing beside him and said in a soft voice, "would you like to sit down and have a drink with me?"
"No. I've been used to standing like this for years Liu bit his lip and whispered.
"I'll let you sit, and you'll sit!" Qin Shubao was a little annoyed and gave her a hand to sit beside him.
Liu's some falter, finally sat down, embarrassed smile.
"I've worked hard for you all these years." Qin Shubao raised a glass of wine and said in a soft voice, "I've been sick for a long time. You have to take care of everything. It's up to you, inside and outside. Raising children is also under your control. Now good, three sons are very good, frost is also very good. I'd like to propose a toast to you in the name of the ancestors of the Qin family. "
"Shubao Why say that? You'll be back soon, won't you? " Liu held up a glass of wine and said with tears.
"I will come back." But I don't want to hold these words in my heart. Over the years, you live in the side room, but take care of everything of the Qin family with no regrets. In fact, in our hearts, you are already the master mother of the Qin family, aren't you? Today, I will announce that I will hold you upright and be the head mother of my Qin family! "
"No, no!" Liu quickly waved his hand, "I don't care about these! You don't have to! "
"Mother." On the other side, Qin Tong said, "just accept my father's intention! My biological mother and I have been dead for many years. You brought us up. In our hearts, you are our own mother. It doesn't matter that my father just gives you a proper name by doing so! "
"Yes, mother, take it!" Qin bin slightly smile, some ridicule way, "father is rare to show such a true feeling, ah, you see his old man, how soft smile at the moment!"
"Shut up! It's funny to your father! " Qin Shubao scolded angrily, and then laughed at Liu, "whether you accept it or not, anyway, I'm ready for the document. When I leave, I send the poor child to the county office to correct your registered residence. What's more, my Lord yiguogong and shangzhuguo should have a Gaoming lady of three or four grades? Bin'er, you are the director of Hongwen library. It's up to you to take care of this matter. ""Yes, father!" The brothers answered the promise and turned back to Qin mubai with a smile.
Qin Mu Bai, one of them, laughs but says nothing.
In fact, the reason why Qin Shubao suddenly decided to straighten Liu's family is not mostly because of Qin mubai?
Over the years, Liu has never changed. He has always worked hard for the Qin family, and has made no special contribution recently. After all, it's not that the mother is more important than the child?
In the past, Qin mubai only knew about flying eagles and bad gambling. Although Shuanger was clever, she couldn't change the status of their mother and son in the Qin family. Now Qin mubai's strength has changed, and he has become more prosperous. He has even used his own strength to directly affect Qin Shubao's "reemployment" -- how can Qin Shubao not be clear?
If not for the reserve of the head of the family, Qin Shubao would have to thank his son! Now, it is also reasonable to support his biological mother, Liu. Although for the men like Qin mubai, it's just a time to pass the scene; for a woman like Liu, who is content with her concubine's life, it's like turning over.
Compared with a concubine who has no status and security, the master mother of the state's family is just like a cloud and mud!
With tears in his eyes, Liu said, "Shubao, Dalao, Erlang, I don't know what to say No matter what I do, I always hope I don't make mistakes and never expect anything in return. Mother or side room, I do everything for the Qin family. If it's too much trouble. You don't have to worry about it. "
"Mother, it's no trouble, it should be!" Qin Tong, the eldest son, said, "you have been working hard for the Qin family for decades. We can all remember your unseen kindness and achievements! You deserve it
"Yes, mother, you don't have to refuse any more!" Qin bin quickly pulled Qin mubai beside him for a while, "third brother, you're talking about something!"
Qin Mu Bai said with a smile: "mother, my father just said this when he left. It can be seen that he has been repressed in his heart for a long time. Why don't you agree to let him go to his post? How many people can there be in the world? It's not because you care that father gives you this reputation It's that he thinks you deserve it. Just because you don't care doesn't mean he doesn't care. "
"The third younger brother is smart and clever. He can talk." Qin Tong said hastily, "Niang, I've talked about this. Are you willing to refuse my father's wishes?"
"So Then I'll have to be ashamed! " Liu said, tears.
"Why are you crying, ha ha!" Qin Shubao laughed and reached out to wipe the tears on Liu's face. He said with a smile, "women are women. They always cry."
"I'm happy and reluctant. What do you know?" With a smile in his tears, Liu turned Qin Shubao's eyes.
Qin shuang'er has been stuffy in one side, silent. Qin mubai looked at it in his eyes and kept it in mind. He muttered to himself that he would try to persuade her later. Otherwise, this silly girl will not let go for three or two months.
The Qin family banquet didn't last long, and it ended soon. Because a group of Qin Shubao's old friends came to see him off. Headed by Li daozong, Li Ji, Cheng Zhijie and Yuchi Jingde, more than ten people came, all of whom were former colleagues of Qin Shubao.
Qin Shubao took out the gold armour with animal's head, which he had not worn for many years, tied the iron bow of two stone Euonymus japonicus, and chiseled the golden gun with tiger's head. He was dressed in scarlet robes, and his gray beard was flying, and his horse gun was not powerful.
Everyone cheered: "good! My God of war of the Tang Dynasty is back! "
"Ladies and gentlemen, if you don't want to see me off, I'll go!" Qin Shubao gave a deep drink, and the Lima man stood up and said, "in the future, it will be in the strong wind of the yellow sand!"
"Magnificent "Take care all the way. The Lord of the wing
"Farewell -"
with a few horse hisses, Qin Shubao left with several veteran servants.
Liu hid his face and wept. He held Qin mubai's hand tightly and said, "son, can you not go in such a hurry as your father did and stay with me for a while?"
"Mother..." Qin Mu Bai said softly, "father is such a character. Actually He is also afraid of heroism, love, wield a knife to kill decisive. Cut off the love. He has too much affection for this family, for you and for us, and too much nostalgia. It's just a rare expression. "
Qin Shuanger's eyes were red, too. He said in a soft voice: "Niang, the third brother is right The more this kind of time, the more we can not shed tears, so that father and third brother are not at ease. Third brother, go quickly. Isn't there a group of people in King Wu's residence waiting for you to set out together? "
"Well..." Qin Mu Bai nodded, his eyes motioned that frost and he went to one side, and said to her, "frost, we are all gone, you must be sad. But You can date Wu Meiniang and go to Xiangzhou to see us together! "
"Really Is that ok? " Shuang'er likes to go out and look out.
"Why not?" Qin mubai said with a smile, "you can discuss with Wu Meiniang about specific matters. Now my father is not at home. There's no one to impose control on you. But you have to ask your mother's approval. Don't let her worry. ""Well, I see!"
"Well, I'll go too!"
Qin mubai, also dressed in military uniform, turned over and rode on huoyun.
Li daozong and his party sent Qin Shubao out of the Qin mansion. When they saw Qin mubai riding out on the street, they couldn't help laughing together: "look, there's just an old Qin Shubao, and there's another young and handsome Qin Shubao! The father and son are just like carved in the same mold. Ha ha
Qin mubai dismounted, saluted and said goodbye.
Li daozong stepped forward, patted his shoulder armor, pulled him aside, and said, "boy, your sword is still kept by the king. When will you take it?"
"Ha ha, if you don't tell me, I will forget! It's inconvenient to dance swords and swords during the Spring Festival. If we can meet again in the future, we will ask the Lord for advice! These swords can be met but not sought. I'm determined to win! " Qin mubai said with a smile.
"Good! I'm crazy, I like it! " Li daozongfu patted Qin Mu's white chest armor again and said with a smile, "go! Don't lose to your old father, who has a white beard. He's going to do something to win over him! "
"Thank you for your encouragement!" Qin mubai came back with a heavy fist.
"Son of a bitch, come here." On the other side, Cheng Zhijie waved to him, then laughed at him and said, "you can do it, my old Cheng is less than a year away from Chang'an. You've made a lot of noise, and you've hooked up with a princess. " After that, Cheng Zhijie laughs at Li Ji and other people: "how about the apprentice who was trained by Lao Cheng, isn't it good?"
"I don't know what shame it is! That's Qin Sanlang's own strength. It's none of your business! " Yuchi Jingde's angry thunder roared, "Qin Sanlang, I've told my son who didn't win. Let him practice hard and improve day and night. Sooner or later, he will surpass you. You can be careful, don't go to the local state and county to neglect. If you are bullied by dog Baoyun one day. Don't come to me and complain! "
"Ha ha! Uncle Cheng, uncle weichi, don't worry. I'm sure I'll be diligent and I don't dare to slack off at all! " Qin mubai said with a smile.
"Well..." Cheng Zhijie seldom took it seriously, and said, "we old people, we can't last long. In less than ten to twenty years, Datang will be your world. Qin mubai, uncle, look after you. With time, you will be able to soar above us old things. Don't let your uncle down
"Well!"
"Go ahead, don't be so fussy!" Yuchi Jingde roared, "it's not life and death, too much nonsense!"
"You black old devil, you really can't spit out ivory from a dog's mouth!" Cheng Zhijie is angry.
"If you have the ability, you can spit out one for me old black to see?" Yuchi Jingde's sneer at Mai mang.
The people beside us all smile bitterly - well, this pair of old friends are fighting again, regardless of the occasion!
Li Ji took a step forward and gave Qin mubai a fist, saying, "mubai. Don't underestimate Xiangzhou. It's a place for ancient military strategists to fight for, and it's also the waterway hub of the Tang Dynasty. Going there is no easier than staying in Chang'an. The key to running the army in local prefectures and counties is three words: harmony, leniency and economy. "
"How do you explain these three words Qin mubai asked for advice. Li Ji has been a senior military officer in the local prefectures and counties of Shandong Province for many years. His experience in this field is more abundant than anyone else, even Qin Shubao.
With a smile, Li Ji said, "and. Harmony is the most important thing. We should live in harmony with our colleagues, the officials of the state government, and even the common people and squires. The army is like fish, and the people are like water. If the people in the local military government offend the governor or make the people hate them, they are bound to face difficulties. Leniency is the art of defending people. When Beijing officials like us arrive at a place, they must not think that they are superior to others, treat others with a different attitude and despise others. Only when you treat the soldiers kindly can others support you. Put yourself in the position of your soldiers. Over time, they will treat you like relatives. He who is a general and a commander should love his soldiers and win the hearts of the people. "
"Thank you for your advice. I will remember it!" Qin mubai said gratefully, "what about this" economy "
"Those who help each other, hardness and softness help each other." Li Ji said with a smile, "Leniency to soldiers is not equal to weakness and concession. Don't disobey military orders. For generals, only when rewards and punishments are clear, law enforcement is fair, and they do not follow private rules and do not give in, can they be prohibited by erecting the power of grace. It seems to contradict "Leniency". In fact, they complement each other. As for the mystery, it's up to you to grasp it carefully. "
"Well, I remember!"
"All right, let's go, let's go, that's wordy!" Yuchi Jingde waved, "it's rare for us to get together again. Don't delay our drinking time!"
"Ha ha!" Qin mubai laughed and turned over to mount the horse. "Younger generation, take care of yourself, uncles!"
Riding on the snow, Qin mubai's figure soon disappeared in the Lifang street.
In the backyard of Qin mansion, the melodious sound of Pipa has been ringing for a long time, and then it suddenly stops.
"Frost, is he gone?"
"Gone." Qin shuang'er sat beside her in a low voice."Did he hear me seeing him off?"
"I don't know Third brother, I haven't stopped for a moment since I got up today, but he still asked about you. So do you. Why do you insist on coming to the main hall to have a banquet and seeing them off? " Qin Shuanger said.
"I dare not go..." The demon son caresses the string, soft voice way.
"Are you afraid of separation?" Frost son tiny wring brow, "this is also three elder brothers don't come to say goodbye with you of reason?"
"He I know my heart
When Qin mubai arrived at King Wu's residence, he saw Li Ke and they were ready to leave. The thirty hundred cavalry soldiers under Pang Fei's command are ready to go and wait here.
"Let's go!" Li Ke waved his hand and got on the horse first. He said with a smile to Qin mubai, "mubai, I'll ride with you today!"
"Well, if you don't have a comfortable car, why don't you ride?" Qin mubai said with a smile.
"I left Chang'an, a tender and affectionate town. If no one talks with you all the way, aren't you very lonely and boring? " Li Ke laughs jokingly.
"No, I won't be lonely." Qin mubai said with a smile, "because I have loneliness with me."
"Ha ha - let's go!"
A group of nearly a thousand people, mighty out of the Wu palace, out of Chang'an city.
When they were young, Qin mubai and Li Ke stood on a slope and looked back at Chang'an.
"Mubai, you say. What will be the next time we come back? " Li Ke asked.
"Who knows?" Qin Mu Bai said with a smile, "I only know that I will come back again!"
"Good! Say goodbye to Chang'an! " Li Ke toward the direction of Chang'an, a distant fist, "goodbye Chang'an, we will come back!"
