Ning Jiaxin's tears instantly flowed down. Because of this sentence and because her father was not at home, no one talked about this topic in the past few days. She knew that it was either because they didn't talk about it or because they didn't talk about it in front of her, for fear that she would be sad. . So she didn't talk or ask, but how could she not have any regrets or worries in her heart?
"I don't know what happened to daddy and the others?" She whispered with tears in her eyes, but the room was so big, no matter how low she whispered, others would hear her, and the atmosphere became dull for a moment.
What they didn't know was that the northern Xinjiang, thousands of miles away, was really covered in ice and snow. It was already late at night, and the Ning family and his son had not fallen asleep yet. The cold weather had already entered a truce period. But the picket work was not over yet. Ning Youlin sighed and said to his son: "You two go back. Your grandmother and mother will be able to handle your second sister's marriage very well."
The two brothers didn't get up. Ning Jiakun tugged on his sleeves and put his hands next to the stove and lowered his eyes: "Second sister doesn't know our situation. It's her wedding now, so I don't know how sad she is."
"Your grandmother and your mother know our situation. As long as they don't show sadness on their faces, your second sister will not think too much about it." This comforted myself, and after speaking, she fell silent for a while and continued: " I thought that your second sister’s engagement would be annulled because of my involvement, but now that the wedding is being held as scheduled, it seems that the Earl of Changping’s Mansion is quite good.”
"Although the marriage has not been canceled, it does not mean that the attitude of the Earl of Changping Palace towards the second sister will not change. I wonder how Tian Qi will treat the second sister after the marriage." Ning Jiaqi was also full of worries. The second sister is a simple-minded person. If He is not worried about his sister who is a compatriot. If someone treats her with respect, she will return a response, and vice versa.
"The boy from the Tian family is also a self-motivated person. If you don't break off the engagement, then there is nothing wrong with your character." People are unpredictable. Ning Youlin said this and he didn't have enough confidence. If his second daughter's marriage was affected because of him, he would feel guilty for the rest of his life. But now that I have decided to share the emperor's worries, I can't worry about so much.
"When my father decided this matter with the emperor, it also included us brothers." Ning Jiakun had long wanted to ask his father this question.
Ning Youlin looked at his smart son and nodded, admitting that the two of them had suffered at such a young age: "The emperor was angry, and the imperial army ransacked the house. They didn't even touch the side branches. If they only sent me and your two uncles, I'm afraid it would be ulterior motives." You will see through it, but if all the men follow you, your brothers are too young, so you two are in the game."
After explaining the whole story to his son, Ning Youlin also put down the big stone in his heart, but he still had doubts in his heart: "Do you resent your father?"
"I don't hate it!" the two said in unison.
Ning Jiakun said: "At first we complained about our father, and thought it would be good to come and accompany him. When we arrived at the border, we saw the suffering of the people on the border and the cruelty of war, and then we realized how our previous lives came about. It is their bloodshed and sacrifice that ensures the stability of the home front. My fourth sister once told us about war scenes. She said that soldiers were beheaded while their heads were running. The heads fell off with their mouths still open and their eyes open. She was still moving, her eyes filled with disbelief, and her body couldn't help but run forward. I was horrified and thought my sister was trying to scare us, but when we arrived, I found that the real situation was far more cruel than what she said."
Ning Jiayin read a book in her previous life called "War Correspondent", which described a war scene during World War II. Soldiers were running forward when a shell fell, and the soldier's head fell off. Her eyes were full of disbelief, and her body was still there due to inertia. Running forward, she replaced the shells inside with cold weapons. In fact, both hot weapons and cold weapons have been equally cruel since ancient times.
Ning Jiaqi also answered: "When you stay in the capital all day long, you think the world is only as big as the capital. My sister said that when you go out, you will know how small your pursuits are. Except for life and death, everything else in this world is trivial. Now I finally realize it. I stay among the wounded soldiers all day long and see their pain. I just hate that my abilities are so small. If I could be like my sister, I would have saved many more people."
Ning Youlin was shocked again by the words of his two sons. The last time he was shocked was when his daughter brought something: "Fourth girl still talks to you like this on weekdays? What else does she want?" He felt that this daughter was really harmonious. Other girls are different. Just like the second daughter, she likes to admire flowers and embroider. But this daughter likes to sew on small animals since she was a child. She calls it "experiment". He knows that this daughter is smart and has good medical skills. Sometimes she herself He tested her with matters in the court. Her opinions were not inferior to those of men. Sometimes she regretted that she was not a man. If she were a man, the family would definitely be handed over to her. She would definitely lead the family to a higher level, but she did not expect that. He actually knew so much about the war and spoke as if he had seen it with his own eyes.
Ning Jiaqi felt that his father didn't understand his sister as well as these brothers. He couldn't help but feel proud in his tone, "My sister is the smartest person I have ever met and knows the most. She seems to not only know many things in the world, but also own perspective.”
"When I made this plan with the emperor, I thought that if something happened to me, the fourth girl would definitely come out and take on the burden of the family. With the protector of the country and her medical skills, I also thought that she would definitely Open a medical clinic and your life will gradually get better."
"At that time, when she opened a medical clinic, how many people would come to see her for treatment? Besides, she has such a status, so she had to carefully consider starting a small business first based on her personality."
Ning Jiaqi's words made the father and son fall silent. They couldn't imagine what everyone was like when the house was ransacked. What could she do as a concubine? Fortunately, she now knew that they were all fine and no one was affected by this incident. But if something unexpected happens, you will be content.
"I wonder when I can go home?" Ning Jiakun said to himself.
"We can't go home until they are cleaned up in one day. We must know how much their presence will cost the court and how many good men in our army will lose their lives." Ning Youlin said in a low voice.
"That's what I'm saying." Ning Jiakun looked at his father's solemn look.
"We have to be careful about them jumping over the wall now." Ning Youlin whispered to his son again.
"I have thought about it. I will not go back until that day. I will continue to stay in the army."
Ning Youlin and Ning Jiakun looked up at him at the same time, feeling both surprised and not surprised.
Ning Jiakun saw the clues from his elder brother's behavior in the wounded barracks every day.
Ning Youlin thought for a moment: "My father's support for you is to share the emperor's worries and serve the country. It's the same no matter where you are." He was the one who got them involved because he was sharing the emperor's worries. Now they can also take charge of their own affairs, and he still stops them.
The three people raised their heads and looked in the direction of home, hoping that their relatives at home would be safe and well.
