Chapter 201 See you again, Chang'an

At dawn, Qin's house was busy and lively.

Qin Shubao, the master of the family, and the third young master who often stay at home set off today to serve as officials in distant prefectures and counties. This is a major event that the Qin family has never encountered. Liu almost didn't sleep all night. With the servants and maids in the house, Zhang Luo prepared what they needed to use on their departure. From carriages and horses to needle and thread shoes and socks, they are all well prepared.

For Qin Mubai, this is destined to be a sleepless night.

Only more than a year after coming to the Tang Dynasty, he did not know why he had such a deep affection for Chang'an, this family and many people here.

Separation is inevitable, and sadness is also uncontrollable.

Whenever he sees his mother's tired expression and red eyes, he feels a little uneasy. I wanted to persuade her to stop and rest, but I couldn't.

I can't help it. That's my mother's personality. I'm afraid that I'm giving too little for this family, and I'm afraid that I can't take good care of my husband and son. Especially for Qin Mubai, the thread in his mother's hand, and the clothes of the wanderer. Before going through the dense cracks, I'm afraid I'll be late.

My mother is never good at expressing this kind of feelings, and always takes simple actions.

And Shuang'er, she is not much more idle than her mother, busy all night.

Perhaps, in addition to Qin Mubai, there is also Li Ke in her heart. She can't control this kind of separation, so she can only silently accept the current situation without talking to Qin Mubai as before.

Maybe she doesn't know where to start. There is a kind of sadness that is indescribable. Qin Mubai understands.

At dawn, Qin Mubai and his father left the room together. Both of them had some blood in their eyes. Obviously, they didn't sleep well last night. Dalang Qintong and Erlang Qinbin also came to see their families off, and a feast was held in Qin's house for a long time.

The family sat around, and Qin Shubao said, "Dalang Erlang, after leaving for your father and Sanlang, you have to go home to take care of them more."

"Yes, father." The two brothers agreed together.

"Our Qin family... has been silent for too long!" After saying that, Qin Shubao shouted and sighed, "Time flies, and I feel old for my father. If you can't work hard now, you can only stay buried in the loess.

"Father, the child is ashamed..." Qin Tong and Qin Bin lowered their heads in shame.

"I don't blame you." Qin Shubao subconsciously looked at Qin Mubai and said with a smile, "Each person has his own destiny, and wealth and honor are in heaven. My father's life has long been doomed to have nothing to do with the military horse. If he can return to the army and garrison the frontier tonight, it will be a great pleasure in life! On the contrary, you brothers must be diligent day and night, and not indulge yourself. After all, it's up to you to carry forward the Qin family!"

"Yes, father!" The three brothers answered in a low voice.

"Good!" Qin Mubai shouted loudly and raised the wine, "After drinking this bowl of wine, go all the way!" He will reunite every day and compare the three of you one by one for his father!"

"Father, please!"

After drinking a bowl of spirits, Qin Shubao's face turned a little red. He turned to Liu Shi, who was standing beside him, and whispered, "Sit down and have a drink with me?"

"No. For many years, I'm used to standing like this. Liu bit his lip and whispered.

"I let you sit, you sit!" Qin Shubao was a little annoyed. He pulled her forward and let her sit next to him.

Liu was a little stagled. After all, he sat down and smiled awkwardly.

"Thank you for your hard work over the years." Qin Shubao raised a glass of wine and whispered, "When I'm sick for a long time, you have to take care of everything. It depends on you to support both inside and outside the house. Raising children is also under your control. It's all right now. The three sons are all very good, and Shuang'er is also very good. I would like to give you a toast in the name of the ancestors of the Qin family.

"Uncle Bao... Why do you have to say this? You will be back in a short time, won't you?" Liu raised a glass of wine tremblingly and said with tears in his eyes.

"I will come back." Qin Shubao smiled slightly, "But I don't want to hold these words in my heart. Over the years, you have lived in the side room, but you have taken care of everything of the Qin family without complaint or regret. In fact, in our hearts, you have long been the mother of the Qin family, haven't you? Today, I will announce that I will correct you and be the mistress of my Qin family!"

"No, no!" Liu hurriedly waved his hand, "I don't care about this! You don't have to do that!"

"Mother." On that side, Qin Tong said, "You just accept your father's fist! My biological mother and my second brother have been dead for many years, and it is you who raised us. In our hearts, you are already our biological mother. If your father acts like this, it's just a formal name for you. It's okay!"

"Yes, mother, just accept it!" Qin Bin smiled slightly and said jokingly, "It's rare for my father to show his true feelings so much. Look at him, how soft he smiles at this moment!"

"Shut up! I actually made fun of your father!" Qin Shubao scolded angrily and smiled at Liu, "Whether you accept it or not, anyway, I have already prepared the document. As soon as I leave, I will deliver it to the county government and correct your household registration. In addition, my dignified Duke of Wing and Shangzhu Kingdom, my main room should always be a lady with more than three or four grades, right? Bin'er, you are the director of Hongwen Museum. You will take care of this matter.

"Yes, Father!" The two brothers agreed and turned back and smiled at Qin Mubai together.

Qin Mubai smiled, but he didn't say anything.

In fact, isn't the reason why Qin Shubao suddenly decided to correct the Liu family? Is it mostly because of Qin Mubai?

Over the years, the Liu family has never changed. He has always worked hard for the Qin family, and there has been no special "contribution" recently. After all, isn't it expensive for a mother and a son?

In the past, Qin Mubai only knew that flying eagles and horses were stubborn and gambling. Although a little girl in Shuang'er was clever, it was not enough to change the status of their mother and son in the Qin family. Now Qin Mubai has suddenly changed his strength, is competitive, and even uses his own strength to directly affect Qin Shubao's "re-employment" - how can Qin Shubao not be clear?

If it hadn't been for the reservedness of the head of the family, I'm afraid Qin Shubao would have thanked his son in turn! Now it is also reasonable to correct his biological mother, Liu. Although for men like Qin Mubai, this is just a time to pass the scene, for a woman like Liu who is content with the fate of a concubine, it is tantamount to an earth-shaking turnaround.

The mistress of the Duke's Family, compared with a concubine with no status and security, it is simply a difference between clouds and mud!

Liu Shiran burst into tears and wiped her tears and said, "Shubao, Dalang, Erlang, I don't know what to say... No matter what I do, I always hope that I don't make mistakes and never expect anything in return. Whether it's the mistress or the side room, I'm doing everything for the Qin family. If the trouble is tight, there is no need to toss around.

"Mother, it's not troublesome, it should be!" The eldest son Qin Tong said seriously, "You have worked hard for the Qin family for decades. We all remember this invisible kindness and achievements in our hearts! You deserve it!"

"Yes, mother, you don't have to refuse anymore!" Qin Bin quickly pulled Qin Mubai next to him, "Third brother, you have to say something!"

Qin Mubai smiled slightly: "Mom, my father didn't say this until he left. It can be seen that he has been depressed in his heart for a long time. Why don't you agree to let him go to work at ease? After helping each other for decades, we will never leave the deep love between the husband and wife. How many people can there be in the world? Father gave you this name not because you care... but because he thinks you deserve it. Just like you don't care doesn't mean he doesn't care.

"The third brother is still smart and can speak." Qin Tong hurriedly said, "Mom, that's all. Do you have the nerve to refuse your father's intention?"

"In that case... then I have to be ashamed!" After Liu said that, tears fell like rain.

"Why are you crying, haha!" Qin Shubao laughed and stretched out his hand to wipe the tears on Liu's face. He laughed and said, "A woman is a woman who always likes to cry."

"I'm happy and reluctant. What do you know!" Liu smiled in tears and rolled Qin Shubao's eyes.

Qin Shuang'er has been suffocy and silent. Qin Mubai looked at it in his eyes and kept it in mind, muttering to himself, and thought of a way to persuade her later. Otherwise, this silly girl may not let go for three or two months.

The Qinfu family banquet did not last long and soon ended. Because a group of Qin Shubao's old friends came to see him off. Li Daozong, Li Xun, Cheng Zhijie and Yu Chi Jingde are the leader. There are more than ten people in Lin Lin, all of whom are old officials in the same robe when Qin Shubao joined the army.

Qin Shubao took out the beast-headed golden armor that he had not worn for many years, pulled the two stone yellow poplar iron tire bow, carried a tiger's head and a gold gun, and wore a flower scarlet robe. His body was gray and fluttered, and the horse was not majestic.

Everyone applauded together: "Okay! My God of War of the Tang Dynasty is back again!"

"Guys, if you don't work hard, I'll go!" Qin Shubao shouted deeply, and the horse stood up and said, "He is predestined every day, and he will be in the fierce wind of yellow sand!"

"Magnificent!" Everyone held their fists together, " Take care all the way, Duke Yi!"

"Farewell--"

With a few hiss, Qin Shubao took several veterans' servants with him and went away.

Liu covered his face and cried, took Qin Mubai's hand tightly, and said, "Ah, can you walk in such a hurry and resolutely, and stay with your mother for a while instead of your father?"

"Mother..." Qin Mubai said softly, "Father is like this. In fact... He was also afraid of being short-tempered and affectionate. He waved a knife to kill decisively and cut off the love. He has too much affection for this family, you, and us. It's just a rare expression.

Qin Shuang'er's eyes were also red, and she whispered, "Mom, the third brother is right... The more this is like this, the more we can't shed tears, so as not that my father and the third brother are not at ease. Third brother, go quickly. Isn't there a group of people waiting for you to set out together in Wuwang Mansion?

"Uh-huh..." Qin Mubai nodded, motioned to Shuang'er to step aside with him and said to her, "Shuang'er, we're all gone. You must be sad. But... You can date Wu Mei Niang and go to Xiangzhou to see us together!"

"Is it really... okay?" Shuang'er was a little overjoyed.

"Why not?" Qin Mubai smiled slightly, "For specific matters, you can discuss with Wu Mei Niang. Now that your father is not at home, there is no one to impose restraint on you. But you must get your mother's approval and don't make her anxious.

"Well, I know!"

"Okay, I'm going for my brother!"

Qin Mubai, who was also dressed in a uniform, turned over and rode on the fire cloud.

Li Daozong and other people sent Qin Shubao out of Qin's house. On the street, when they saw Qin Mubai coming out, they couldn't help laughing together: "Look, an old-fashioned Qin Shubao has just left, and a young and handsome Qin Shubao immediately came out! The father and son are simply carved out of a mold, haha!"

Qin Mubai disoed his horse and said goodbye to everyone.

Li Daozong took a step forward, patted his shoulder armor and pulled him aside, and said, "Kid, your sword is still in my place. When will you take it?"

"Haha, if the prince doesn't say anything, he will forget it! It is inconvenient to dance with knives and swords during the Spring Festival. If he can meet again, he will ask the prince for advice! You can't ask for such a treasure knife. If you want it, you will get it!" Qin Mubai said with a smile.

"Good! The boy is a little crazy. I like it!" Li Daozong patted Qin Mubai's breastplate a few times and laughed loudly, "Go! Don't worry and boldly go wandering. Don't lose to the old father whose beard is going to be white. He will definitely break through his achievements!"

"Thank you for your encouragement!" Qin Mubai hugged his fist heavily and replied.

"Bad boy, come here." On the other side, the old goblin Cheng Zhijie waved to him, and then smiled at him and said, "You boy. My Lao Cheng is only less than a year away from Chang'an. You are so popular and hooked up with a princess." After saying that, Cheng Zhijie laughed at Li Xun and others: "Well, my apprentice from Lao Cheng** is not bad, isn't it?"

"Dead old man, I'm really shameless! That's Qin Sanlang's own strength. It's none of your business!" Yu Chi Jingde roared angrily, "Qin Sanlang, I told my disappointing son. Let him practice martial arts day and night, and sooner or later he will surpass you. Be careful, don't let yourself neglect when you go to a local state or county. If he is bullied by the dog Baoyun, don't come to me to cry and complain!"

"Haha! Uncle Cheng, Uncle Yuchi, don't worry, your little nephew will be diligent all the time and dare not slack off at all!" Qin Mubai hugged his fist and smiled.

"Uh-huh..." Cheng Zhijie rarely took it seriously and said earnestly, "We old people won't flutter for a long time. In less than ten or twenty years, the Tang Dynasty will be your world. Qin Mubai, uncle is optimistic about you. With time, you will be able to fly to the sky and surpass us old things. Don't let your uncle down!"

"Hmm!"

"Go ahead, don't talk about it!" Yu Chi Jingde roared, "It's not life and death. There's too much nonsense!"

"You old black man, you really can't spit ivory out of a dog's mouth!" Cheng Zhijie scolded angrily.

"If you have the ability, can you spit it out and show it to me?" Yu Chi Jingde sneered at Mai Mang.

The people next to him smiled bitterly together - well, this pair of old enemies were fought again, regardless of the occasion!

Li Xun took a step forward, punched Qin Mubai first, and said, "Mubai, don't underestimate Xiangzhou. It is a must-have place for soldiers in ancient times, and it is also a waterway hub in the north and south of our Tang Dynasty. Going there is no easier than staying in Chang'an. In local states and counties, the key is three words - He, Kuan and Ji.

"Dare to ask the British, how to explain these three words?" Qin Mubai hurriedly asked for advice. Li Xun has been serving as a senior military officer in prefectures and counties around Shandong all year round. His experience in this area is richer than anyone else, and even Qin Shubao is incomparable.

Li Xun smiled and said, "He, that is, peace is the most important. Whether it is with his colleagues, with the officials of the state government, or the people's gentry, they must get along well with each other. The army is like fish and the people are like water. The people of the local military government offend the state officials or make the people hate them, which is bound to be difficult; Kuan is the art of the emperor. When a Beijing official like us arrives at a place, we should not think that we are superior to others and treat others with different eyes and despise others. Only when you treat the soldiers to compare your hearts so that they can support you. Put yourself in your shoes and think of your soldiers. In time, they will treat you like relatives. If you are a handsome man, you should love soldiers as if you were a son and win the hearts of the people.

"Thank you for your mention, the younger generation will remember it!" Qin Mubai held his fist gratefully and said, "Then what about this 'Ji'?"

"The helper is strong and soft." Li Xun smiled and said, "Being lenient is not the same as being weak and giving in. The military order is like a mountain and cannot be reversed. For generals, the reward and punishment should be clearly and fair to enforce the law, do not follow selfishness and do not give in, and erect Enwei can order a ban. It sounds contradictory to 'broad', but in fact they complement each other. As for the mystery, it's up to you to grasp it carefully.

"Well, the younger generation remember it!"

"Okay, go, go, go, it's really timeless!" Yu Chi Jingde waved his hand and said, "It's rare for me to wait for a reunion. Don't waste our drinking time!"

"Haha!" Qin Mubai laughed and turned over, "Let's go, uncles, uncles, take care!"

As soon as he rode the snow, Qin Mubai's figure quickly disappeared into the streets of Lifang.

In the backyard of Qin Mansion, the melodious sound of the pipa had been sounded for a long time, and then it suddenly stopped.

"Shuang'er, has he left yet?"

"Let's go." Qin Shuanger sat next to her and whispered.

"Did he hear the sound of the pipa I saw him off?"

"I don't know... Third brother, I haven't stopped for a moment since I got up today, but he still asked about you. You too. Why do you insist on coming to the main hall for a banquet and send them off? Qin Shuanger said.

"I dare not go..." The demon stroked the strings and said softly.

"Are you afraid of facing separation?" Shuanger frowned slightly, "Is this also the reason why the third brother didn't come to say goodbye to you?"

"He... knows my nature."

Qin Mubai arrived at the Wuwang Mansion and saw that Li Ke and others were already ready and just waiting to leave. The 30 hundred knights under the jurisdiction of Pang Fei are also ready to go and are waiting here.

"Let's go!" Li Ke waved his hand and got on the horse first. He smiled at Qin Mubai and said, "Mubai, I will ride with you today!"

"Oh, if you don't ride a comfortable car, why do you ride a horse?" Qin Mubai said with a smile.

"Leave the gentle and affectionate hometown of Chang'an, if no one chats with you all the way, won't you be lonely and boring?" Li Ke laughed jokingly.

"No, I'm definitely not lonely." Qin Mubai smiled and said, "Because there is loneliness with me."

"Haha - let's go!"

A group of nearly a thousand people drove out of the Wu Palace and went out of Chang'an City.

After a young man, Qin Mubai and Li Ke stood on a slope and looked back at Chang'an.

"Mu Bai, what do you think will happen next time we come back?" Li Ke asked.

"Who knows?" Qin Mubai smiled and said, "All I know is that I will come back again!"

"Good! Say goodbye to Chang'an!" Li Ke held his fist in the direction of Chang'an and said, "Say again, Chang'an, we will definitely come back!"
