There was constant laughter and joy in the backyard of the general's mansion.
Jiang Ziang stood on the stage, speaking loudly about the thrills on the battlefield. As he listened to the maids' exclamations, his face became more and more proud.
"Hehe, thanks to Doctor Mo, he saved this general several times. That kang was also his idea. After all, he is a doctor, and his brain is very flexible after reading a lot of books."
Speaking of Mo Xiaotong, Jiang Ziang thought of how he was still being held captive in the palace by the emperor. His excitement quickly subsided, and he spoke in a somewhat dull tone.
"Oh, no more talking, it's meaningless and I'm tired."
Seeing this, the maids and servants all started to jeer, "Second Young Master, you said it so well just now, why don't you say anything more now?"
Jiang Ziang squatted down and said unhappily, "What are you talking about? Doctor Mo has been in the palace and hasn't come out yet. It's not known whether he will be able to come out in the future. How can I be happy?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a light cough was heard.
He raised his head and looked over, surprised: "Brother, when did you come? Aren't we going to the front yard to receive guests?"
Jiang Ling raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a noble smile.
"No need. I've already told them that the General's Mansion will host a banquet for guests another day. We won't be hosting them today as we've been traveling so long."
Jiang Ziang thought about it and agreed. He jumped off the stage and waved his hand, "You all should disperse. Let's talk about the Japanese general later. I'm not in a good mood today."
Everyone saw that the eldest son did not dare to act rashly. Although the eldest son was always gentle, he always kept his word and no one dared to say anything.
Soon, only two brothers were left in the training ground.
Jiang Ziang frowned and said, "Brother, His Majesty wants Doctor Mo to stay. Why on earth is that? He is an orphan and has never offended that person."
"And did you hear the thunder this afternoon? It seemed to be coming from the direction of the palace. Could it be a bolt of lightning? Did I break some taboo?"
Jiang Ling rolled her eyes at him and scolded him in a low voice: "Second brother, don't talk nonsense. I have told you so many times."
"Be careful with your words, be careful with your words!"
Jiang Ziang sighed, his eyes dimming. "But brother, Doctor Mo has been with us through thick and thin. I'm really worried about him. Can you please find out more about him?"
"...I know you're worried, so naturally there's news. Come with me into the house."
"Really? Brother, you're so kind."
The two brothers sat face to face in the room, looking at the small note above. Jiang Ziang's brows were furrowed so much that they looked like they could pinch a fly to death.
"Brother, I knew that person had bad intentions. Look, this person just entered the palace, how could he have injured his wrist and fainted?"
Jiang Ling hummed, his expression calm: "I know, but I don't know the details. I only know that the imperial physician went to bandage him."
Jiang Ziang stretched his neck to look at him and said seriously, "Brother, I think you have changed. When we were in the barracks, you cared about Doctor Mo."
"You held him in your hands for fear of breaking him, and held him in your mouth for fear of melting him. But now look at you, he's hurt and you didn't react at all. You're so heartless."
"...With your dull brain, what can you see?"
Jiang Ling rolled her eyes at him and said unhappily, "Stop guessing. This is different. The Doctor Mo in the military camp is not the same as the Doctor Mo now."
Jiang Ziang scratched his head, feeling dizzy.
He muttered quietly, "We are all the same person, what's the difference? Brother, you are so incomprehensible."
"Wrong, I'm just too stupid to understand."
"Second brother, don't waste your brain. From now on, keep your mouth shut about the military camp and don't tell anyone, especially about Doctor Mo."
Jiang Ling burned the note, stood up and said, "Let's go, the family dinner is about to start, it's time to have the reunion dinner."
Jiang Ziang scratched his head and muttered quietly, "Forget it. If I can't figure it out, I won't think about it anymore. At worst, I can think of a way another day and go to the palace to see Mo Xiaotong."
The two brothers went to the front yard one after the other.
The maids and servants were busy running back and forth with smiles on their faces. The yard was hung with red lanterns, which looked very festive.
Seeing her sons coming, Yun Wan said softly, "The eldest and second sons are here. Please sit down quickly. Qian Qian was just talking about you."
Jiang Qianqian was clever and quirky. She ran over with a smile, stretched out her hand and said bluntly, "Big brother, this is a meeting gift from my second brother. We haven't seen each other for several years, so don't say you didn't prepare anything."
"Ha, of course there is. Take it, little smart guy."
Jiang Ling clapped his hands, and soon the guard brought over a long box. When he opened it, he saw a small whip inside.
Jiang Qianqian looked at it with shining eyes, took it out and weighed it, then smiled: "Brother, you are so nice, you know what I like, I like this little whip so much."
"Second brother, what about you?"
"Oh, yes, wait a minute."
Looking at the person walking slowly towards her, dragging a box with great effort, Jiang Qianqian's eyebrows jumped, and she instantly had... a bad premonition.
Sure enough, when I opened it, there was a hammer inside.
Jiang Ziang asked with a smile: "Little sister, take a look at it and see if you like it. Although it may look a little ugly, it is very practical."
"From now on, you carry this hammer with you. Who would dare to mess with you if they see it? Don't you think so?"
Jiang Qianqian had a wooden face and said weakly, "Brother, I was wrong. I shouldn't have asked you for anything. You should give me silver next time. I think that's more practical."
"...Little sister, do you dislike the gift from second brother?"
"No, no, don't misunderstand me, second brother."
He turned his head and waved to the servant: "Go, help me carry this box to the warehouse. I might be able to use it someday."
"Yes, young lady."
Jiang Qianqian sat down, touching the small whip with her eyes full of love. It was still the eldest and third brothers who would give gifts, but forget it with the second brother, and don't ask him to give anything in the future.
By the way, third brother, where is he?
He stood up and looked around, but saw no one. He couldn't help but ask, "Grandma, have you seen my third brother? Where did he go? I haven't seen him since I came back."
The old lady raised her eyebrows and glanced at the person next to her calmly.
Jiang Baichuan frowned upon hearing this and said unhappily, "Qianqian, don't mention that rebellious son in the future. What third brother? If you have the guts, run away from home and never come back."
“……!!”
After changing his appearance, Jiang Sheng's eyes dimmed, he lowered his head and said nothing. It turned out that he had become a person who could not even be mentioned in the family.
Jiang Qianqian took a look and said aggrievedly, "Dad, why do you say that? My third brother has done something so treasonous, why is Dad always so strict?"
"Hey, someone tell me where the hell Third Brother went. The whole family is back, why don't you invite him over for dinner?"
The maids and servants all lowered their heads and dared not say a word.
The old lady sighed and said quietly, "Sit down, Qianqian. Your third brother has indeed run away from home, but we've sent someone to look for him. He should be back home soon."
