When Mo Yin saw that her father was about to lock her brother up again, she immediately hugged his legs and begged, "Daddy, don't lock him up. I didn't do it on purpose."
Mo Qian suppressed the anger in his heart and said warmly to his daughter, "Father, there is naturally a reason for your actions." If you, Second Brother, make a mistake and your daddy doesn't teach you a lesson now, then he will be on the wrong path in the future and you won't be able to control him even if you want to. "
"Big brother has never taken the initiative to fight with others. There must be a reason behind it. Daddy, let your big brother explain. " Mo Yin said.
At this moment, Mo Qi also said: "Dad, listen to what second brother has to say before deciding." He had met his mother and brother on the way home from work, and had not had time to ask him what was going on.
Mo Qian grunted, "This isn't the first time he stirred up trouble." Then he said to his eldest son, "Bring your brother to your room. Watch him carefully for me. If he runs away, I'll punish you, the elder brother, as well!"
Seeing that there was an outsider present, Mrs. Faang couldn't just focus on her own personal matters. She pulled her daughter up from Mo Qian and coaxed, "Yin be good and take Little Bunny back to the house to play with mom. Let Daddy and this guest talk."
Saying that, he gave Mo Qian a meaningful glance and said to Mo Jun, "No matter what, Jun, you go inside first. For the guests who have come today, you should behave yourself and not let Father and Mother worry about you. "
Only then did Mo Qian remember that Chen Zhidong was still beside them, and hurriedly said to his wife: "I forgot to introduce you, this is General Chen, General Guan, Qingyang Pass Guard, I am currently addressing him as brother. He came to see us. You make two dishes, and I'll have a drink with him. "
Chen Zhidong hurriedly greeted Mrs. Faang, "Greetings sister-in-law."
Mrs. Faang returned the greeting with a smile on her face, "You didn't manage to get a good reception, so I'm sorry about that. Please come in and sit. I'll go cook. "
"Sister-in-law, you don't have to be a stranger to me!" Chen Zhidong waved his hand and turned around to his two subordinates, gesturing for them to bring the things he brought back into the house, "Sister-in-law, I brought some dried rice and vegetables. You can do whatever you want. "
Mrs. Faang was overjoyed as she was worrying about the lack of meat and vegetables at home. He hurriedly brought his daughter into the house and began to busy himself.
Mo Qi brought his little brother to the room where they slept and said, "I will help you plead for mercy to daddy. "You can stay here for now."
This kind of punishment was something the two brothers were accustomed to. Mo Jun entered the room and fell on the brick bed before closing his eyes to take a nap.
Mo Qi closed the door and went to help his mother cook.
Mo Qian invited Chen Zhidong to sit in the living room. Mo Qi served the tea that his mother had already boiled. Chen Zhidong saw that Marshal Mo's eldest son had already grown up like this. He was slender and handsome, unlike Marshal Mo, who was very similar to his mother. When Mo Qian saw that he had a scholarly air about him, he asked him about his lessons.
Mo Qian let out a sigh and said, "My ancestors emphasized martial arts, but unfortunately, this eldest son of mine loved to read books, so he didn't know a thing about swords or spears. "I could barely see it without the use of a rider's rifle."
Chen Zhidong burst out laughing, "I just happen to be lacking an official document. I wonder if Marshal would be willing to let Eldest Young Master come to my place to work?"
Mo Qian hesitated for a moment and said: "It's just that my family is currently guilty of a crime. Going to your army, I'm afraid it would be against the law."
"Hey! What was there to be afraid of? This place is far away from the capital, and we are short of manpower. Even if you are facing other crimes, but come here, as long as you have the ability, I will not hold you accountable for your actions. "In war, there's even a saying that 'you won't be able to take orders from the emperor'!"
Mo Qian lowered his head and thought about it. When the eldest son was born, he was born short of talent, so he was weak, struggled with martial arts, and had excellent books. If it wasn't for him, his eldest son would have gone to take the exam. Now he was working hard here with him, and the boy never complained about hard work. However, it was also clear that he was only forcefully holding on, and did not want his parents to worry about him. Now that there was such an opportunity, he could relax a little. He shouldn't have been too rigid about the rules.
As Mo Qian thought of this, he asked Mo Qi who was standing at the side, "Wei'er, are you willing to follow your Uncle Chen to the military as an official?"
This was naturally a good opportunity, but Mo Qi was worried that he would leave. His father had been working too hard, so he hesitated, "If I leave, I'm afraid I'll have too much work to do and my father's body will suffer."
Mo Qian said, "Don't worry about me. Daddy isn't old yet. As for you, you probably won't have much of a future by following your father. "Going to your Uncle Chen's military to train for a bit is better than following me."
"As expected of your eldest brother's son. He truly understands how to respect his parents." Unlike my son, who is now out in the open in my name, I don't mind at all. Nephew, you don't have to worry about your father. As long as I, your uncle Chen, am here, I will not ask your father to do all the hard work. "
"Hurry up and thank your Uncle Chen. Go to the kitchen and help your mother."
Mo Qi happily saluted Chen Zhidong and said, "Thank you, Uncle Chen."
"There's no need to be polite. Go and do what you need to do."
Mo Qi walked to the kitchen and sat down beside the stove to help Mrs. Faang light the fire. He told Mrs. Faang about what happened earlier, and Mrs. Faang was happy for her son.
Mo Yin played for a while and felt that it was meaningless. Remembering that Second Brother and Mo Jun were locked in a room by their father, they must be very sad and went to talk to him.
She held the rabbit and quietly walked to her brother's room. She opened the door and walked in. Mo Jun was lying on the brick bed with his head on his arm and his eyes closed. She carefully closed the door and walked to the bed. After staring at his face for a while, she whispered, "Big brother, big brother, are you really asleep?"
Mo Jun started to ignore him, as if he had really fallen asleep. Mo Yin then gently poked him in the face. "Brother?"
Mo Jun could open his eyes like torches without a trace of sleepiness. He scared Mo Yin so much that she hugged the rabbit and shrunk her neck.
Mo Jun saw the fat rabbit in her arms and quickly got up from the brick bed. His eyes lit up, "Where did the rabbit come from?"
Mo Yin smoothed out B.Rabbit's ears and said, "Daddy caught it."
"So big and so fat, the meat must be delicious." Mo Jun stared at the rabbit as if he could smell the fragrance of the roasted rabbit meat.
"I want to raise this rabbit, but I can't eat it." Mo Yin carried the rabbit to her side and avoided her brother's gaze. "No one can eat it."
"Okay, when I learn to catch rabbits, I will definitely catch a rabbit as big as one and roast it for me to eat." Mo Jun said in yearning.
"The rabbit is so cute, can't we not eat it?" Mo Yin looked a little pained. "Let's eat something else."
"Only you little girls are soft-hearted. In our eyes, rabbits are for eating." Mo Jun said.
Mo Yin put the rabbit on the ground, held onto the rope and asked Mo Jun, "Second Brother, why did you fight with someone else again?"
Mo Jun sat cross-legged on the brick bed and snorted. He was quiet for a while and then said, "They said our family is all prisoners and bad people. Can I not shut them up? "
"Who are they?"
"Just a bunch of little kids." Mo Jun replied lazily, "None of them can fight, and they still dare to provoke me."
Mo Yin giggled, "I, Second Brother, am always so awesome!"
Mo Jun saw his sister smile and bent her eyes. He raised his hand to stroke her head and said slowly, "Sister, in your heart, is Big Brother better, or Second Brother?"
"Good for both of you." Mo Yin said without hesitation.
Mo Jun pouted, "You really know how to talk. "No offense on either side."
"It's true. All of you are just as good! " Mo Yin said.
"Forget it, I'm not going to argue with Eldest Brother. Go out and play. I want to sleep. " Mo Jun felt bored.
"Play with me, brother." Mo Yin pleaded.
"Find me and I'll go with you."
"Big brother is helping mother cook."
"Then go to the kitchen and learn how to cook." "The girl has to learn to cook for the girl, so in the future, I can find a wife."
"What is a woman's home?"
"That's right …" Oh, I don't know! You'll know later. Go, go! " Mo Jun chased them away impatiently.
Mo Yin wrinkled her nose. "Hmph!" I know now that big brother is still the best. I asked him to play with me, he will always play with me. Unlike you, who just ran off with me. "
With that, Mo Yin left with the rabbit.
Mo Jun made a face at her back, then laid down.
On the second day, Mo Qi packed his luggage and prepared to head to the Qingyang Pass Army. Mo Qian borrowed an ox-cart from his neighbor and personally sent his eldest son there. Mo Yin thought that since she wouldn't be able to see her big brother again in the future, she had to send him off. Mo Qian brought her along.
Due to yesterday's incident, Mo Jun didn't get Mo Qian's permission to go out, so he could only watch from the narrow window as his father, brother and sister got on the car and left.
Before he left, Mo Yin left her rabbit in his care. Mo Jun sat on the brick bed, holding the rabbit's neck and said to it, "I really want to eat your meat. It's a pity that you're my sister's pet, I can only bear with it." He swallowed and watched the rabbit struggle in his hands. Pausing, he thought of something and happily slapped his thigh. "That's right, I can follow you to your place. That way, I can catch your brothers and sisters to eat!"
The ox-cart walked on the road for about two hours before it reached Qingyang Pass. The Qingyang Pass was built on the basis of the terrain that was extremely difficult for them, and as if it could pierce through the clouds, the two towering Great Wall walked along the mountain, meandering and extending to protect the safety of the people inside the pass.
On the way, Wu told his eldest son to pay attention to some things in the army. When they arrived at the general's residence, Chen Zhidong's janissaries were already waiting for the arrival of Mo Qian and his son.
The janissary led Mo Qian directly to Chen Zhidong.
Chen Zhidong called for tea and then for Mo Qi to take the luggage to the room that was prepared for him.
Mo Qian and Chen Zhidong were chatting and laughing in the hall. Mo Yin, who could not understand what he was saying, crossed the high threshold of the hall and went outside to play.
Mo Yin saw that there was a bird cage under the eaves of a veranda. Inside the cage, there was a black bird with a long tail. She walked up to the cage and stared at the bird with a serious expression.
He was thinking about what kind of bird this was. He heard a boy say from the side, "Isn't this that little girl? How did you get here? "
Mo Yin turned around and saw that it was a few days ago, he had stolen Second Brother's grasshopper and was beaten up by her, Second Brother. The next day, Second Brother beat up the little boy called Chen Liang.
When Mo Yin saw him alone, she got a bit scared and hurriedly went to find her father.
The little boy chased after her and said, "Hey, how did you get in? Are you trying to steal my father's grouse? Someone, grab that little girl! "
Some of the soldiers stopped him when they heard him shout, "Young noble, that girl came with a guest of the General. Not on his own. "
