Chapter 500 Zhao Houming just found out that his third brother went to study abroad
Yang Chengchen was in the military camp and didn't know that his mother and elder brother had a quarrel about this, and in the end, no result was reached.
But he soon lost his joy. He and his cousin were new to the military camp and were not used to anything. There were many things they were not used to, but the one thing they could not stand the most was the food.
Not only was the soup bland, but the whole grains were barely enough to fill me up, and I could only eat meat once every ten days or half a month.
Yang Chengchen and Fan Houyang ate so much that their eyes turned green. They counted on their fingers and looked forward to going out on their day off to have better meals.
The next day, Yang Chengchen and Fan Houyang came to see the book and papers on their bedside. At first, they just opened them out of curiosity, but when they saw the contents, they knew they were for them.
Yang Chengchen and Fan Houyang looked at each other and cried out in unison, "No way!"
"Whose idea do you think this was?" Fan Houyang was simply curious about who had such high expectations of them. The thought of living and eating together in a military camp for two and a half years filled him with despair.
"My dad's! Who else could it be? It was a bit rash for us to agree to come in. Do you think Auntie will take us back?"
Yang Chengchen looked at his cousin Fan Houyang, who had already accepted his fate, with hope in his eyes.
"No!" Fan Houyang said it in a decisive tone. He thought he knew his mother quite well and that she would not oppose the emperor over such a trivial matter.
"It's over!" Yang Chengchen was so desperate after hearing what Fan Houyang said that he fell back on the bed.
Just as Fan Houyang was about to say something, their leader came in. "Zhao Er, Fan San, what are you two dawdling about for? If you don't pack up and get out, you'll miss breakfast later."
Fan Houyang, after all, had the experience of two lives, so he quickly compromised. When someone urged them to hurry up, he responded, "I'm coming, I'm coming." He quickly started to pack up. He folded the quilt first, then hid the book. Then he put on his clothes and slung his weapons over his shoulder.
Yang Chengchen had almost finished packing, so he jumped out of bed and quickly folded the quilt. Since he couldn't go out, grabbing food became very important, at least to have enough to eat.
Otherwise, their bodies wouldn't be able to handle the training and reading at the same time.
Yang Chengchen and Fan Houyang's mornings were filled with excitement, disappointment, and finally resignation. But Zhao Houming was different. Today was his day off, and he was going to visit his mother and younger brother in the suburbs.
Originally, Zhao Houjing didn't want to go, but Zhao Houming wanted to go, so he had to go.
Because Zhao Houming directly informed Zhao Houjing the night before and asked him to get up early the next day.
Seeing his second brother like this, Zhao Houjing knew that there was no room for negotiation on this matter. If he didn't go, his good days would be over when his second brother came back.
But when Zhao Houjing got up early the next morning, packed up, and prepared to sleep for a while in the carriage.
Zhao Houming jumped onto the horse quickly, and Zhao Houjing
"Second brother, are you going on horseback?"
"Taking a carriage is too slow. Mother might have already had lunch by the time we get to the farm. Riding a horse is faster." After Zhao Houming said this, he led his men away without caring whether his elder brother followed him or not.
Zhao Houjing looked at the carriage parked next to him, and then looked at his horse.
He could only say fiercely, "What are you looking at? Give me the cloak."
Huai Qing could only quickly put the cloak on Zhao Houjing himself.
Zhao Houjing quickly jumped on his horse and chased after Zhao Houming's horse.
At this time, Zhao Houming had only one thought in his mind: this man was not his brother at all, he was his ancestor, the kind that he could not afford to offend.
Since Zhao Houming rode his horse quite fast, Zhao Lingmeng had just gotten up when the two brothers arrived.
Zhao Lingmeng looked at the two brothers and was quite surprised. "How did you two find time to come?"
The two brothers did not reply to Zhao Lingmeng's words first, but bowed first, "Hello, mother!"
Then he stood up and replied, "My son has been free from work recently, so I thought of coming with my brother to visit mother and brother."
"Mom, my second brother and I miss you so much. Do you miss us?" Zhao Houjing also acted like a good boy.
"Yes, Mom misses you two too. How come you two came so quickly? You left before dawn?"
Zhao Lingmeng hadn't seen her two sons for more than a month and really missed them.
"My son and my eldest brother brought some people here on horseback, so we got here faster. We just wanted to see Mom earlier."
Zhao Houming said as he sat down next to Zhao Lingmeng.
Zhao Lingmeng couldn't help but mutter when she heard this: "Just take it slow next time. Riding so fast is not safe."
"Okay, I'll do whatever you say!" Zhao Houming agreed quickly, but next time, he'd probably still want to ride. He felt it was worth it to spend a little longer with his mother.
Zhao Lingmeng saw through this guy's hypocrisy at a glance, but she didn't say anything else. The child was grown up, and if he talked too much, it would be annoying.
Zhao Houjing also followed Zhao Houming's example and sat on the other side of his mother. Although he didn't want to come when he first came, he was quite happy to see his mother and brother talking affectionately.
Zhao Houming and Zhao Lingmeng were chatting animatedly, and Zhao Houjing would occasionally interject a word or two. The three of them chatted for a long time, but Yang Chengchen and Fan Houyang did not come over.
Logically, when the two of them arrived, someone would go to notify Yang Chengchen and Fan Houyang, but they haven't arrived yet, which makes Zhao Houming feel quite strange.
Zhao Houming was curious and asked directly: "Mom, where are my third brother and cousin? Why can't I see them?"
"Are they both going to study abroad?" Zhao Lingmeng said something shocking, completely unaware of the power of her words.
At this moment, Zhao Houming and Zhao Houjing both raised their heads at the same time and looked at Zhao Lingmeng.
Zhao Houjing looked at his mother in disbelief: "They went on a study tour? Prince Ruihe went too?"
"Yes!" Zhao Lingmeng answered casually.
"The emperor also agreed?" Zhao Houjing found it outrageous.
Zhao Houjing wondered if the emperor had gone mad, sending his legitimate son out to study.
Zhao Lingmeng acted like a naive person and said, "Who is the emperor? How could he not agree to such a good thing?"
Zhao Houjing: This world has gone crazy.
Zhao Houming was puzzled. It was just a study tour, why were they leaving in such a hurry? "Then why didn't they tell us?"
Zhao Lingmeng had already thought of a reason, and it was just right for her to use to perfunctorily deal with the two children: "For something like this, you definitely have to leave right away! Otherwise, why wait until others have set up an ambush before leaving?"
"What mom said makes sense!" Zhao Houming felt that he was convinced by his mother.
Zhao Houjing felt that his mother wasn't so partial after all. He was actually a little happy.
