Spoiling a Good Young Wife
95

When Su Jinnian heard this, his slightly childish brows turned extremely grim: since you have no intention of serving in the imperial palace, why do you still carry the military talisman with you? .

Xue Zhan hid the military talisman under the bed, and he found it the next day.

“Can I throw away something important like a military talisman?” a resolute look appeared in Xue Zhan's eyes.

“family Xue, this is a letter from your family!” The screams came from outside the courtyard.

Xue Zhan immediately calmed the stern look in his eyes, He regained his calm countenance, took out a letter from the messenger, and saw that the letter was sent from Shuilin Village in Taohua City.

After Xue Zhan arrived at Jiangnan, he wrote a letter, and did not expect to receive a reply this quickly.

The man immediately brought the letter into the house. Su Zijin must have been very happy when he saw her.

When Su Zijin, who was sewing at home, took a letter from her, mimicking her face was unfathomable. Instead of feeling a lot of excitement, he instead felt an unpleasant feeling in his heart.

Sure enough, after opening the letter, Su Zijin only read it, after a while, his face darkened.

"What's wrong?" Xue Zhan asked.

"The imperial court first ordered a tax increase two months ago, and then issued a conscription notice half a month ago. Every household in the city or in the village must send a strong man to serve as a soldier. The third sister-in-law did not want to, my third brother was recruited to be in the army, while my father was old, so had to do a raffle to decide. And unexpectedly, the one who won it was the third brother!" Su Zijin His face was very heavy.

His third brother had just become a father of the child, and now he was recruited, not knowing if he could return that year or month, or even he could not return at all.

Xue Zhan was stunned for a moment, his dark eyes shone with a hint of complexity, and then he said: did the letter say where the soldiers coming from there would be sent?

Xue Zhan only hoped that these newly recruited soldiers would be sent to the military camp first, and trained for at least a year before leaving for the battlefield. However, it was likely that they would be sent straight to the frontlines after three months of training.

“It looks like it's a border fortress and other places!” Su Zijin did not know where this border fortress lay, let alone the border fortress and other places had been captured by the Mobei Army.

Xue Zhan's eyes suddenly stiffened, and his fingers that were placed lightly on the table clenched.

“dad said, they will find a way to collect five hundred taels to send back, so that the third brother does not need to go to the border fortress. do you still have money?" Su Zijin looked at Xue, who looked complicated.

He also did not want the third brother to leave. The third brother had always been weak, and he had just become a father. He could not even hear the boy call him father, but did the third brother have to separate from his wife and son? .

"Who said paying five hundred taels could remove conscription from the list? If the court finds out, this is a grave crime, and your brother will also be beheaded." Xue Zhan was furious. The war was about to take place, and the local officials, only wanted to get money from him and asked for five hundred taels, like a lion opening its mouth.

Su Zijin naturally knew the truth, otherwise, why would the son of a wealthy family not be recruited into the army?

But looking at the angry face of Xue Zhan, He also knew in his heart, all the remaining silver taels that Xue Zhan had, had been given to his birth family, let alone five hundred taels, fearing him, he had, he did not even have fifty taels though, so he had no choice but to walk out quietly.

“What's up, sister-in-law?” Su Jinnian stood up and looked at Su Zijin, with a priceless smile on his face.

“Do you still have money there?” Su Zijin asked carefully, his eyes looking at his feet restlessly, and his face flushed slightly.

Su Jinnian momentarily did not know, what did he mean? He naturally brought some taels of silver when he came to meet his elder brother. However, the silver taels he had brought were tricked by someone on the street. He also brought several hundred taels of silver banknotes with him, which he could exchange at the bank.

"Yes, what's wrong with sister-in-law? Is there anything less at home? Or need to drink a complement during pregnancy? Like a bird's nest, a deer's horn or something." Su Jinnian touched his head and asked with a hint of confusion.

Su Zijin shook his head: something happened to my mother's family. Can you lend me silver? I can give it back to you immediately.

When Su Jinnian said this, he took out two hundred taels of silver banknotes from his body without hesitation, and placed them in Su Zijin's hands: Then, brother-in-law take it, please, I still have two hundred taels of silver banknotes in my room, I'll get them for you now.

"Jinnian, I don't need that much." Su Zijin took the banknotes handed over by Su Jinnian, turned around and called Su Jinnian.

However seeing Xue Zhan looking at him calmly, his pitch-black eyes made Su Zijin feel a little scared in his heart.

Xue Zhan approached Su Zijin without saying a word. Next, he returned the paper money in Su Zijin's hands to Su Jinnian, then said to Su Zijin: let's go back home, I have something to tell you.

Then he said to Su Jinnian: go home and pack your things.

When Su Jinnian heard Xue Zhan's words, he knew that his eldest brother would go north with him to fight against foreign enemies.so, after answering, he immediately ran back home.

Su Zijin thought Xue Zhan was angry for asking Su Jinnian to borrow money. However after returning home, Xue Zhan told him an extremely shocking news, like thunder, and Su Zijin did not recover from his daze for a long time.

“Are you Prince Xiao?” Su Zijin's eyes widened, and his clear black eyes were filled with disbelief.

Xue Zhan nodded: we will escort you to the Jinnian annual meeting tomorrow.When you return to Kyoto and arrive at Prince Xiao's House, someone will take care of your food and daily life. If someone invites you to the palace, you should do what the housekeeper says. Just learn some palace rules, and you don't have to worry about other things, Jinnian will take care of them." Xue Zhan stretched out his hand and rubbed Su Zijin's face.

It's the first time she's left him, and doesn't know when, she can come back. He felt very reluctant to give up, and was eager to take his wife to go with him.

"how can you be prince Xiao?" Su Zijin had once thought, Xue Zhan might be some kind of guard captain, or even a famous general in the military camp. The first prince with the foreign surname, he never expected .

"I hope I didn't, but now, you're staying with me at Prince Xiao's house, I'll be right back, and I'll also let your third brother back safely." said Xue Zhan gently as she looked at Su Zijin's soft and delicate face with her eyes wide open, she actually, did not have the heart to leave Su Zijin.

As Su Zijin listened to Xue Zhan's words, waves of mist appeared in his apricot's eyes, and stuck around him. He felt very reluctant to let go. But right now, the Mobei Army is attacking the Ming Dynasty. If the Mobei Army is not stopped, what will happen? The answer is certain, the Ming Dynasty will soon perish.

It is important to have a country before owning a home. He could not, only be selfish and not let Xue Zhan save the country and save the people who would fall into trouble.
