Chapter 181: Suggesting Brother to Join the Army
Ying Er blinked: "Okay, Ying Er, let's try it later."
"So good!"
Chen Qingxin pinched her little nose and said, "Go over there and wait for dinner. I'll make a few more dishes. We have guests, so we need to add more food."
Many people had breakfast today, including the Wang brothers, the four Dongfeng brothers, Jun Haoxuan, and Commander Jin.
Everyone felt a little disappointed because Chen Qingwen was missing from the dinner table.
Chen Qingxin smiled and comforted: "I arranged for Qingwen to stay in a manor near Yuyang Academy.
With servants and nannies to take care of her, she has no worries about food and shelter.
When a bird grows up, it will eventually fly out of the nest."
"Master, what you said makes sense." Xifeng quickly agreed.
"Yes, Xin'er is right. Qingwen is doing the right thing by going out to study.
As his family, we must be happy for him.
Come on, kids, let's eat first!"
Chen Li made the final decision and people took their seats.
Everyone clinked glasses and after three rounds of drinks, the topic gradually became lively.
Wang Dabao spoke first: "Sister, Yuyang Academy is a good place. Brother Qingwen will definitely achieve great things in the future if he can study there."
Wang Sibao usually walks closest to Chen Qingwen, and he expressed his concerns:
"I wonder if Brother Qingwen is getting used to life in the academy, and if he's been bullied?"
“Don’t worry, little brother. I will accompany him to register tomorrow morning.
The purpose of going to the academy is to study, not to fight, so nothing will happen.
Besides, Qingwen is not the kind of person who allows himself to be bullied.
Tonight he is sleeping in a big house that belongs to him alone. How comfortable he must be!
It’s much better than living in a tent at home.”
Jun Haoxuan took a bite of food, put it in his mouth and chewed it slowly, then said:
“I heard that Yuyang Academy has a very good school spirit, and even the county magistrate was once a student there.
This county magistrate passed the imperial examination and became the top scorer.
An academy that can produce a top scholar can’t be that bad.”
Commander Jin nodded in agreement:
"Your Highness is right. Maybe the next number one scholar in Yuyang Academy will be Qingwen, and he will be the number one scholar in both literature and martial arts."
As soon as his words came out, the four Dabao brothers broke out in cold sweats.
The four brothers all complained in their hearts:
"Oh my goodness!
This evil boy is actually a prince?
Although he knew that the boy's identity was not simple, he never thought that he was from the royal family.
You can’t blame yourself for this. You guys haven’t even read a few days of books, how can you know so much?
Just now on the mountain, that kid called us brother!
So, aren't we the elder brothers of the prince now?"
After some imagination, Wang Dabao and others puffed out their chests.
Wang Sibao stood up and clasped his fists towards Jun Haoxuan:
"I'm sorry! Ignorance is not a crime.
We did not know the identity of the prince before.
If I knew, I would never dare to call the prince my brother."
Jun Haoxuan gave Commander Jin a cold look without making any expression, and then a bright smile spread across his handsome face:
"It's okay! Brother Sibao, you're too polite.
You are Xin'er's sworn brothers, and naturally you can also be called Haoxuan's sworn brothers.
So, brothers, please don't say such polite words in the future."
Wang Dabao, Wang Erbao, and Wang Sanbao all stood up and clasped their fists: "Thank you, my Lord, for your kindness!"
Jun Haoxuan pressed down with his hand, motioning for his brothers to sit down.
He looked at Chen Qingxin and suggested:
"Xin'er, do you need to bring your brothers to the army for some training?
I think all four brothers have good qualifications.
Being just a craftsman is really a waste of talent.
It would be better to leave it to Instructor Chen, learn martial arts from him during the day, and learn to read at night.
In the future, you can follow Instructor Chen and become a deputy general or something like that."
When Chen Qingxin heard this, surprise suddenly appeared in his eyes.
Then he glared at him again.
Then she smiled awkwardly and explained:
“Cough cough cough!
Big brother, second brother, third brother, youngest brother, have I ever told you before that my father is still alive?"
Jun Haoxuan touched his nose when he heard this.
I used to dislike Commander Jin for his big mouth.
Now it seems that my mouth is not small either.
The four brothers looked at her in confusion, shaking their heads like rattles.
Chen Qingxin slapped his thigh and said, "Haha! Look at my memory?
I thought I had already said that!
The Instructor Chen that Mr. Jun mentioned is my father.
He is now the chief instructor of the Flame Army.
If you are willing, this is also a good idea.
The four brothers were stunned when they heard this.
Wang Dabao swallowed his saliva and couldn't help asking:
"Xin'er, are you saying that Uncle Chen is not only still alive, but is also an instructor in the army?"
The other three people also looked at Chen Qingxin with curiosity.
Seeing that his elder brother was staring at him, Chen Qingxin told him the whole story.
The Wang brothers admire Jun Haoxuan even more.
Wang Dabao bowed to Jun Haoxuan:
"Thank you, my Lord, for saving Uncle Chen's life!
Thank you also for your support to my brothers and others.
I will make a decision after discussing it with my family next time.
I beg you to give me some time, my Lord."
Jun Haoxuan readily agreed:
“There’s no rush for this matter. Xin’er’s carpentry work isn’t finished yet, so someone has to take over.
This also takes time to arrange.”
At this time, Xiao Qingwu blinked his big eyes and said in a baby voice:
"Eldest sister, when Wu'er grows up, can he go to school like his brother?"
The child's words brought the topic, which had gone off track, back on track.
Chen Qingxin touched his little head and said gently:
"Great, Qingwu is so smart, he will definitely be as successful as his brother in the future."
After hearing this, everyone at the dinner table smiled and expressed their agreement.
At this time, Chen Qingxin thought of Chen Guangming and his son, and was arranged to work under Commander Jin.
She asked, "Commander Jin, how are Chen Guangming and his son doing? Have they caused you any trouble?"
"In reply to Miss Chen, the father and his two sons worked very hard and were very skillful.
Thank you for introducing such a good worker to me."
“You’re welcome, just don’t cause any trouble.
I'm just putting in a line.
In a week or so, the construction of my main house will be completed.
After that, I plan to build a college.
School will start after the New Year.”
The meal ended in a happy atmosphere.
After dinner, Wang Dabao and his brother drove the carriage back to town.
Jun Haoxuan also said goodbye and returned to the border:
"Xin'er, I have to go back.
My father returned to the capital on the pretext of hearing that the Queen Mother was missing and wanted to find out what happened.
I have to stay at the border."
Chen Qingxin was stunned: "No wonder you asked me whether I should start in advance!
Can you take care of it by yourself at the border?
And when will your father come back?
He won't stay in the capital forever, right?
"I asked him to stay in the capital and win over those court officials, and find ways to suppress those who cannot be brought to his camp.
Your grandfather was also transferred to the capital by that emperor.
If there is a war on his border, he will probably be in trouble.
In the eyes of others, originally three sides were defended, but now the head coaches are not there on two sides.
Once the enemy gets to know this news, the consequences will be disastrous.”
