Chapter 479: The General's Wife Strengthens the Wife's Responsibility (7)
"Chen Bi, I've sent her away. Don't worry about it anymore." Jiang's mother looked haggard, as if she had aged several years overnight.
She had grown up and knew the good things about her daughter-in-law. Because she knew this, she didn't want her daughter-in-law to leave. Last night, she persuaded her daughter-in-law to stay, almost kneeling down. From now on, as a mother-in-law, she would never care about the affairs of the young couple.
"Mother?" Jiang Qi wanted to call her, but saw her walk straight out the door.
"What's wrong with mother?" He couldn't help but talk to himself, "How could you look so haggard in just one night?"
"Old lady, you must have broken my heart!" Qiuyue, who came with her young lady, said.
Jiang Qi ignored her and looked at his wife instead, asking calmly, "Why are you here?"
They had just had a conflict yesterday, and today he couldn't be enthusiastic about her. He remembered clearly that she wanted to divorce her husband yesterday! Even the divorce letter was already written and placed on the table, just waiting for his signature.
"I'm here to ask you a favor." Shi Yiyi was as docile as before, which made him a little uncomfortable.
"What is it?" He looked up at her. This was the first time she asked him to do something, so he was still a little surprised.
"I request to join the army."
"Follow the army?" He raised his eyebrows. "Now the world is peaceful and there is no war. Where should I join the army?"
"Zhejiang." Shi Yiyi looked up at him and said firmly: "Within half a year, Zhejiang will be in great trouble from Japanese pirates."
"No!" Jiang Qi turned away and said in a rough voice: "I don't agree!"
The battlefield is dangerous, and she is delicate and weak. If she follows, it will be troublesome! Besides, the Japanese pirates have existed since the founding of the country. The current emperor has not even given an order. Why can she conclude that the person who will go will be him!
"Sir, don't you believe what our young lady said!" Qiuyue was a little anxious, "Our young lady never lies!"
Jiang Qi frowned, "Let's talk about it when the time comes. It's too early to say anything now."
Qiuyue rolled her eyes. The implication of this was that she disagreed!
Shiyi bowed to him and smiled softly, "Please wait and see, my husband."
After the master and servant walked a long way away, he let out a heavy breath.
The swords on the battlefield are blind. Although they have never been in love, she is his wife, and he hopes she is safe, so he will never allow her to go to war with him! If he really wants to go to war!
Chen Bi, who was sent away, stared at the prosperous Kyoto for a long time, until he could no longer see the walls of Kyoto, and then he reluctantly let down the curtains.
She likes the flavor of Kyoto's snacks, the well-connected roads in Kyoto, the customs and habits of Kyoto, and her tall and mighty cousin, but her cousin's wife is strong-willed and will definitely not allow her to stay. She, Chen Bi, is also unwilling to compromise and become a concubine. It is better for her to return home and marry a good family as her aunt said!
She also has a hunch that she and her cousin's wife will have intersections again!
Then go back. With her general cousin as a backer, Chen Bi's own talents and abilities, she will marry a good person!
The turmoil in the general's mansion subsided, but it became lively outside. The news that General Jiang was written a divorce letter by his wife spread throughout Kyoto, and even Jiang Qi's colleagues, friends, and superiors looked at him with a strange look in their eyes. His father-in-law, Qi Wei, actually liked his son-in-law more! Men who are afraid of their wives are not bad! For example, he is also henpecked!
"Xiaofeng, why do I feel like everyone is looking at me a little strangely recently?" After getting the concerned looks from his colleagues, friends, superiors and subordinates again, Jiang Qi could no longer sit still.
Xiaofeng lowered his eyebrows and whispered, "Xiaofeng doesn't know."
"You really don't know?" Jiang Qi looked at him peeling his nails non-stop, and he looked guilty. He couldn't help but raise his voice, "If you dare to lie to me, I will drive you out of the mansion!"
"Xiaofeng really doesn't know anything!" He was a little scared and begged, "General, please don't drive Xiaofeng out of the mansion. Xiaofeng will recognize you as his master for the rest of his life!"
"Since you don't know anything, why are you so scared?" Jiang Qi picked up this child on the battlefield. Seeing his trembling look, he felt bad and softened his voice and said, "Go down."
"Thank you, general, thank you, general." Xiaofeng ran out as if he had been pardoned, not daring to look back.
How could he tell the general about the rumors outside? What if the general really drove him out of the mansion when he was unhappy!
Jiang Qi was bored staying in the mansion. When he was walking in the garden, he happened to see Shi Yi and Qiu Yue, the master and servant, going out. Out of curiosity, he followed them. Of course, he did it secretly.
He thought that the two of them were going out to do something bad after changing clothes and wearing hats, but he didn't expect that they were going to the teahouse to listen to storytelling. When he reached the door of the teahouse, he hesitated a little. He has always been interested in swordplay, and has no patience for elegant things such as storytelling.
Just as he hesitated, he was squeezed in by the crowd that suddenly poured in from behind.
"Hurry up, hurry up, we're about to start the song of General Jiang and his wife."
"Hey... don't push, don't push, my shoes are about to be stepped on by you..."
"Hey, move a little to the left, a little further, the people behind can't squeeze in."
When Jiang Qi heard the three words "General Jiang", he already had a premonition that it was related to him, and consciously stood against the wall at the edge and the most hidden position. He was tall, and even if he stood at the back, he could see the stage clearly.
There were still people outside trying to squeeze in. Those who were squeezed in the middle and had no seats were cursing, but they fell silent the moment the storyteller slapped the wood.
"Today, let's talk about the famous General Jiang and his wife!"
The old man on the stage put down the wood, rolled up his sleeves, held the tea bowl, and sat down calmly.
Qiuyue, who had a seat under the stage, poked the lady next to her and said, "Just watch it, it's very interesting. I guarantee you will have more fun than staying at home."
She only found out about the new storytelling in the teahouse by chance last night. As soon as she found out, she bought the ticket immediately, otherwise she didn't know where she would be squeezed to.
Thinking of this, she turned around and glanced behind her. It was this glance that almost scared her to death!
She actually saw her own son-in-law in this small teahouse. Did she see a ghost?! After confirming again and again that she didn't see a ghost, she lost the mood to listen to the book. However, the people behind her were squeezed like a sieve, and she couldn't get away. She had no choice but to signal her daughter to turn back.
