C82 (2/2)
Madame Li nodded. ”That's right, I don't have much experience in this field, but you should still listen to your grandmother. Although she doesn't want to call you out, she doesn't have any bad intentions.”
Wei An laughed. ”Grandmother still dotes on me. Previously, when these people came to invite me, they didn't look at my female cousin, but now, it's different. If I were to join the army and earn military merits, that would be my own ability.
Besides, my cousin has always been kind to us. Otherwise, we'll let people know that the Grand Matriarch's house is always timid, and there might be people who will come and meet us again in the future. ”
In fact, not only the General's House, but most of the younger generation of the other houses felt that this was a chance to earn military merits by going to the border gate without a cruel battle. As for the barbarians, they wouldn't be the ones to take the swords and cut them down, right?
Madame Li was a housewife, and was moved by Wei An's words. She waited until the evening to discuss it with him, and he also agreed, ”If none of us go, then His Highness will have no face at all.”
It was his words that had moved the ancestors of the manor. His second son had accomplished nothing, but he couldn't just let his grandson say that he had no proper business to do.
”You have to be careful when you go. If you do your duty well, I will ask for a job in the palace even if I have to sacrifice my face.”
Madame Li knew that the slight hesitation she originally had was immediately gone. With her mother-in-law's words, even if there was a real risk, it was worth it!
Wei An could be considered to be a friend of the Li family's Second Branch's direct son, Li Zhenyuan. The moment he heard the news that he was going to go, Li Zhenyuan also rolled around on his way home, insisting on going.
His wife, Lady Yao, had a pair of children supporting her, and his parents, the matriarch, were against him. Three to three, Little San against Old Third, a complete defeat, he had to kneel at the ancestral hall all night, and the next day, Li Zhenyuan had started a hunger strike.
Li Yang went to Li Can's place shamelessly to get a few helpers for his son. He didn't expect the court to order him to send an envoy to Jiang Guo …
Li Shen was not going to the border, he was going to the brutal Jiang Country!
They didn't have enough manpower, not to mention that their two sons didn't go. They were worried that Li Zhenyuan might be in danger, so they shouldn't go. His Majesty didn't force anyone to go.
”Second brother is the Li Clan's Patriarch. In terms of manpower, the ones you're looking for are all stronger than the ones your elder brother is looking for.”
After saying that with a smile that was not a smile, he served the tea. These people weren't just playing around. If there was a chance, then who knew.
She knew from her many years of experience with her mother-in-law that no matter what her mother-in-law said, even if she was a scoundrel, she would be able to easily describe her as someone who doesn't meet talent.
Of course, these disgusting things didn't happen in the harem every day, or else he would have to suffer from mental illness.
The result was that Li Zhenyuan did not go. The matriarch only had her own grandson. Not to mention that Li Geng didn't have the manpower, even if he did, she still had to worry about those people secretly harming Li Zhenyuan.
If he knew, he definitely wouldn't have asked Li Zhenyuan to go. He was worried that Li Zhenyuan would be too slow and delay the entire group.
At the end of July, Cheng Guogong, Gao Shang, and the others arrived at the Gangzhou Mansion one after the other. They all left easily, so it didn't attract too much attention.
Zhou Zhi personally went to welcome the Duke of Cheng into Ganzhou. ”My lord said that we can avoid all vulgar etiquette, but my lord has worked hard all the way. The courtyard is already prepared, not far from my lord, and there are two young masters living close by with my lord …”
When he was bored, he thought about coming to Ganzhou himself, so he decided to do whatever he wanted. Thus, he had a belly full of ideas and was eager to share it with the princess.
”I'm not busy. This old man will talk after meeting Young Master.”
Zhou Zhizhong had already given orders, and everything had to be done according to the Old Duke's instructions. He then nodded, and ordered people to quickly report to the Grand Princess.
Because the weather was still a bit hot, the guards had to put on their armor and put in a lot of effort, so Ru Yi had someone create a thin, soft, breathless armor. When the underlings came to report, she was checking them one by one.
He looked around but didn't see Jun Ruye, so he asked fifteen, ”Where's your Commander Jun? Why can't I see him?”
”Commander Jun has ordered people to welcome the Crown Prince and his men. Even Li Can and Lord Li need someone familiar to welcome them …”
Ru Yi smiled. ”I forgot about this matter. It was really hard on him.” Since she didn't have anyone of use by her side, she could only instruct Jun Ruye to handle the matter. Fortunately, she wasn't asking him to go out personally. Everyone was still in the same courtyard, just that they couldn't meet.
”Can you call a few people who are free to come over and try out these soft armor? If they think it's okay, then we can buy some.”
He happily agreed to go out, but just as he arrived at the door, he came back to report that the Old Duke had come to see his young master first.
Ru Yi was delighted. ”Good, very good. Go get busy with the soft armor first. In a while, go greet the old man. Tell someone to prepare some hot water and food to wash the old man's face.”
