As soon as the sky dawned, Qiao Yin got up from the bed, put on her clothes and looked into the yard. A cold wind whizzed in, giving her goosebumps all over her body.
But when she saw Luo Hong on the porch, she couldn't help but feel her mood drop by three points.
There was a sudden strong wind in the middle of the night yesterday. Qiao Yin ordered people to move all the flowers to the corridor to avoid the wind overnight. Unexpectedly, they still fell to the ground.
"When the wind blows, it's winter for the first time."
Bizhu came from outside, holding a white mink scarf in her hand.
Putting on the white scarf, Qiao Yin finally felt better.
"Brother is still in the study? Today is his first day at the Fifth Army Camp, so don't be late."
Qiao Yin couldn't help but be a little worried. It's not possible to practice all these words in one go, so don't get carried away.
While helping Qiao Yin to dress, Bizhu replied: "Come out, come out, burn paper, it will take a while."
Bizhu smiled while replying, and Qiao Yin asked curiously: "What kind of paper are you burning?"
"What else could it be? It's just the waste paper with scraps written on it. Miss, you didn't see that the room was full of waste paper. The servants wanted to clean it up, but the eldest young master refused to let it go. He lit the stove and wanted to burn it." Bizhu replied.
Qiao Yin got dressed and went to find Qiao Mo.
Qiao Mo has finished burning the paper, but is picking up flower petals.
While pinching his nose, he picked up the camellia petals that fell on the ground and cursed.
"Why are you so squeamish? I've moved you into the house, why are there not even one left?"
When Qiao Yin saw this scene, he thought to himself: He didn't run away anymore, his silly brother really fell into Xue Wanran's 'jasmine fragrance'.
"Brother!"
Qiao Yin suddenly appeared, and Qiao Mo jumped back in panic. He squeezed out a piece of juice from the petals in his palm, which made him feel very embarrassed.
"Brother, why are you panicking? It's not shameful to have someone you like." Qiao Yin couldn't help but want to laugh.
Qiao Mo was speechless. Of course it was nothing to be ashamed of when he fell in love with someone. What was shameful was that he, a fierce man, was here to 'bury flowers with pity'.
Qiao Yin turned around and saw an envelope on the table, and couldn't help but feel happy:
"Has the stuff been written? Then I will send it to Yingtian Academy to Wanran later, and test her voice. If she is willing, we will immediately ask a matchmaker to arrange a marriage. Brother, is this arrangement appropriate?"
When Qiao Mo heard this, his old face turned red, and then he grinned again and loudly replied to Qiao Yin: "That's it!"
Qiao Yin picked up the letter and put it in his sleeve, and couldn't help but said: "I don't know when my father will be able to return to Beijing."
I should be able to get back before her deadline.
Excluding today, she still has eight days left.
It is one thing to have confidence, but another thing to be prepared. Only by leaving no trace of regret can she face the final test calmly.
"I went to the Ministry of War to ask. If nothing else happens, dad should be back in five or six days." Qiao Mo replied.
Qiao Yin nodded: "That's great. With my father's help, my eldest brother's marriage will definitely come true."
While the brother and sister were talking, the concierge's boy suddenly came in a hurry to report.
"Young Master, someone is coming from the Fifth Military Camp. Please go to the front yard to see him quickly."
"Why did someone come suddenly? I was about to go to the military camp."
Qiao Mo wondered, got up and walked out quickly.
Qiao Yin's eyelids suddenly twitched, and her heart became uneasy for no reason. She subconsciously followed Qiao Mo to the front yard.
From a distance, a solemn-looking guard with a sword could be seen, saying anxiously to Qiao Mo:
"Last night, the imperial court received an urgent report from eight hundred miles away. Xirong had gathered an army of 200,000 and marched towards Lintai County. The western border was in danger. Your Majesty summoned General Dingguo and the generals of the five military camps overnight, and ordered the five military camps to cooperate with the other two camps in Beijing. The military camp immediately went to the front line to support..."
Qiao Yin felt a thunderbolt from the blue, his mind was buzzing, and he didn't come back to his senses for a long time.
"Okay, I'll tidy up and take office immediately!"
Qiao Mo cupped his hands, turned around and saw Qiao Yin's pale face, and said helplessly:
"Sister, there's going to be a war."
He thought for a while and then said: "It's better not to send that letter out yet."
"The military order is like a mountain, I'm leaving soon. Bizhu, take good care of the young lady."
Qiao Mo gave instructions, turned around and ran quickly back to his room to pack his bags.
He picked up the sword that Xie Yu'an gave him, then went to the closet and subconsciously reached out to his favorite set of bamboo branches and green shirts, and suddenly stopped.
Such beautiful clothes would be ruined if they were stained with blood.
Qiao Mo turned his hand, reached out and pulled out two gray gowns from the innermost part, stuffed them into the bag without looking, and then changed out of the brocade clothes he was wearing.
He moved quickly, and when he came out carrying the baggage, Qiao Yin's face had calmed down.
"Brother, I'll take you to the military camp."
Qiao Mo nodded: "Go, Xie Yu'an should be in the military camp too. The emperor appointed him as the commander-in-chief. Although his family is noble, but the country is facing a crisis, Yu'an should not refuse..."
Qiao Mo couldn't speak anymore and sighed deeply in his heart.
Why is her life so miserable? She never had a good life when she was a child. She finally met a husband who she fell in love with. Now they are about to break up again. This separation is unknown... alas...
God loves to play tricks on people!
"Brother, don't worry about your sister. Over the years, your eldest brother has taken care of your sister, but it's your sister who has dragged your brother down, causing your brother to suffer..."
"Hey, what are you talking about? One family doesn't talk about two families." Qiao Mo patted his sister on the head.
"My eldest brother is worried that he won't have a chance to make meritorious deeds. This is great. My eldest brother will definitely come back with a military merit that is even greater than my father's. Then I'll see who dares to go against our Qiao family!"
Qiao Mo shouted cheerfully, and suddenly Qiao Yin opened her arms and hugged him.
"Brother, my sister will protect you this time! You will be fine."
"Hahahaha, is my sister going to burn incense and pray for my eldest brother? Okay, my eldest brother will definitely come back safely, and he will also marry you!"
Qiao Mo smiled heartily and patted Qiao Yin on the back, "Let's go and take my eldest brother to the military camp."
Qiao Yin and Qiao Mo came to the fifth military camp. People gathered outside the military camp to see them off. There were gray-haired old mothers who were reluctant to say goodbye to their sons, and there were young women who took their children to say goodbye to their husbands...
The carriage stopped outside the military camp. Qiao Yin and Bizhu followed Qiao Mo into the military camp. From a distance, they saw Xie Qingxuan wiping tears and the prince, who was pale and being supported.
"That's the coach's camp over there. Go over there. Brother is going to be busy."
Qiao Mo put down Qiao Yin, turned around and left quickly.
"Xiaojiu!"
Qiao Yin ran over quickly.
"Sister Qiao!" Xie Qingxuan cried as soon as she spoke.
"Why are you crying? Nothing will happen. Don't cry. Everyone will be fine."
Qiao Yin stepped forward to comfort her.
The prince's face was pale. It must have been very difficult for him to come out of the palace.
"Ayu is talking to Xie Ren inside."
Inside the camp, Xie Yuan was dressed in silver armor and looked ready to go.
Xie Ren lowered his shoulders and said, "Brother, let me go for you!"
Xie Yu'an shook his head: "I am familiar with the habits of Xirong and the situation in the Western Territory, and I have my last military exploits. His Majesty appointed me because he wanted to use me to boost morale. How can it be a child's play."
"But you are the young master of our Xie family, you cannot allow any mistakes..." Xie Ren advised.
Xie Yu'an shook his head again: "That's wrong. Our Xie family's ability to reach this point does not depend on one Xie family head or one heir. It depends on the unity of the Xie family's children. Everyone has fulfilled their responsibilities seriously. A Ren , the national crisis is facing us, it is my responsibility to go into battle to fight against the enemy, and it is also your mission to defend the position at home."
Xie Yuan patted his shoulder, "If I can't come back..."
"Xie Yu'an!" Qiao Yin broke in from the outside and looked at him steadily, "Don't say unlucky words, you will be fine."
