There was a circle of tents around the wheat field, and Song Ruqing was drinking tea in the largest tent at this time.
Looking at Tielan standing in front of her, she asked, "Is Zhou Yue here today?"
"General, she's here this morning! As usual, she'll probably come after lunch."
Song Ruqing frowned: "It's been four or five days. She just follows you around and watches every day. Hasn't she said anything?"
Tielan hesitated for a moment: "I think her mind seems..."
Song Ruqing waved his hand: "It doesn't matter. Such a sincere heart is rare in this world."
They have been here for several days. Song Ruqing originally estimated that he could take down Zhou Yue in three days.
She observed that Zhou Yue was a bit childish and very curious.
Unexpectedly, he was very patient and didn't come to look for me for five days.
As she thought about it, she could no longer drink the tea in her hand.
"General, Captain Tie, Madam Zhou and Miss Ji are outside the tent. Do you want to see them?"
Someone came to report outside the tent. Song Ruqing's face lit up with joy, and he suppressed the corner of his mouth: "Please come in!"
As soon as Ji Changying entered the room, she felt two fiery gazes. Tielan looked at them with burning eyes: "I wonder what brings you here?"
Ji Changying glanced at Song Ruqing, who was pretending to be calm and not looking at them drinking tea, and said helplessly: "Let's stop pretending and speak frankly. My mother agrees to join your Red Sleeve Army."
Song Ruqing finally stopped suppressing his emotions and said with a smile: "It's a very good decision."
"Isn't it a waste of your mother's talent to live a life of mediocrity and confusion, taking care of a man and a child? She was meant to be ours!"
Ji Changying curled her lips and said, "It's hard for you to spend so much money."
The camps have moved here.
Song Ruqing didn't care: "Not everyone can join our Red Sleeves Army. We prefer the best to the best. As long as the people I recognize can join, it's worth it."
Ji Changying nodded and said no more: "Okay, I'll leave that person to you."
Zhou happily waved to Ji Changying: "When you've had enough fun, come back!"
Tielan looked at her with a meaningful smile on her lips.
After entering this door, you still want to go out?
No way!
When Ji Fengshou returned home for dinner that night, he waited for a long time but Zhou didn't come back. He asked Hu in confusion, "Why hasn't Yue Niang come back yet?"
Mrs. Hu glanced at him calmly and said, "I'm afraid Yue Niang won't be back in the short term."
Ji Fengshou was shocked: "Why is this?"
"Uh... Mom wanted to train with those ladies, so I... sent it over."
Ji Changying felt inexplicably guilty when looking at the expression on Ji Fengshou's face.
Who would have thought that after hearing this, Ji Fengshou would sigh deeply: "I knew it would be like this! It was only a matter of time. Now I can finally put a heavy stone down in my heart."
Ji Changying looked at him in surprise: "You agree?"
"What can I do if I don't agree? Can I really stop your mother from doing what she wants to do? Humph!" Ji Fengshou angrily waved his sleeves and left.
Ji Changying showed a big smile behind him.
Just after the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, the county school was about to begin classes. Ji Fengyi called Ji Mingxue and Ji Minghao aside and said, "I have found a private school for you two. You can go there to study."
These words were like a bolt from the blue.
Ji Mingxue hardened his heart, looked at his father and expressed his thoughts: "I really am not cut out for studying! I want to... I want to join the army!"
Ji Minghao was shocked: "Second brother! You want to join the army? When did it happen?"
Ji Mingxue glanced at the expressionless Ji Fengyi and said nervously, "After I came back this time, I thought carefully about my future path. Studying is not suitable for me. I have some talent in martial arts. Even if I am not as talented as my aunt, I still want to give it a try. In short, for a man to start a family and build a career, every path is a path..."
Ji Fengyi turned his gaze to the third brother: "What about you? Tell me what you are planning now."
Ji Minghao came back to his senses after hearing what his second brother said: "I will follow father's arrangements in everything."
Finally, one of the two of them could be relieved. Ji Fengyi breathed a sigh of relief: "I need to discuss this matter with your mother first. Get out!"
Ji Mingxue was surprised that his father didn't get angry. He said excitedly, "Okay! You guys discuss it carefully! I've made up my mind. When the time comes, I'll go find Captain Kou and follow his instructions. I don't need any help, as long as I can get in!"
Ji Fengyi stared at him deeply and said, "It seems like you had this planned in advance?"
Ji Mingxue chuckled: "I just hadn't thought it through before, but now I've made a decision."
Ji Fengyi waved his hand and let them go out.
As soon as she told Mrs. Hu about it, she spoke excitedly, "No! Mingxue has been studying all the time, and he doesn't have divine protection like my sister-in-law and Aying. Isn't going to the battlefield like committing suicide?"
Ji Fengyi sighed: "If Mingxue really joins the army, he might have more opportunities than Mingxuan and the others, and he could climb faster!"
"That won't do either! I don't agree! There's no need to mention this matter anymore!" Mrs. Hu said with a determined look.
Looking at Hu's back as she slammed the door and left, Ji Fengyi sat back at his desk and fell into a dilemma.
Seeing that the two sides are about to go to war in the spring, if they join the army at this time, it is also an opportunity from another perspective. If Mingxue can really grasp it, their Ji family may be able to try a different approach.
But there must always be sacrifices... Thinking of this, Ji Fengyi was unable to make up his mind.
After Ji Mingxue confronted his father, Mrs. Hu never treated him kindly again.
Mrs. Hu told him very bluntly that unless she died in this life, Ji Mingxue would never be able to follow this path!
Ji Mingxue said with a playful smile that he would listen to his mother at that time, but within two days, one early morning, when Mrs. Hu called him for dinner but there was no response for a long time, he pushed the door open and saw that the room was clean.
There was a letter on the table:
"Respectfully submitted by the unfilial son Ji Mingxue..."
Mrs. Hu's face immediately changed drastically. Holding the letter, she shouted in the yard, "Mingxue ran away! Mingxue! Hurry up and find someone to bring him back to me!"
This voice suddenly made the Ji family, which was originally extremely quiet, boil over.
Ji Fengyi ran out without even putting on his shoes. He took the letter and saw that Ji Mingxue had run away from home to join the army!
Mrs. Hu was very emotional: "I didn't give him any money! He left without any preparation. This is tearing my heart out!"
Seeing his mother so excited, Ji Mingxuan's expression tensed: "I'll catch him right away!"
He ran to the stable, pulled out Ji Fengshou's ingots, and chased after them on horseback.
After reading the letter, Ji Fengshou shrank his neck and spoke well of Ji Mingxue: "Well, I think this kid is pretty good. He used to say he didn't want to study, but now he has found his own direction. He deserves encouragement..."
Mrs. Hu was furious. She grabbed Ji Fengshou's arm and ran to the front hall. "If you have the guts, tell your parents again that you're encouraging your nephew to die!"
