Traveling through troubled times: Princess disguises herself as a man and becomes a soldier to earn

General's Mansion Backyard

Qiao Shu raised her hand and knocked on the door, shouting, "Second Brother, what time is it now? Hurry up and go to the palace to enjoy the chrysanthemums. Didn't I tell you before that you have to get up early?"

"By the way, come and see if there's any girl you like."

Seeing that still no one responded, the motherly smile on Qiao Shu's face gradually disappeared. She took a step back, raised her foot and kicked directly.

With a bang, the door was kicked open.

Qiao Shu walked in and looked at her son who was still sleeping and snoring. Her face turned even darker. What did she say to him yesterday? He has no brains at all and ignored her words.

She raised her hand and pulled his ear, yelling, "Second brother, hurry up and get up! You want me to give you a few gentle slaps, right? Hurry up and get up!!"

Mo Lin heard the lion's roar, and he sat up with a start. He turned his head and looked over. When he met his mother's angry eyes, he couldn't help but tremble and stammered, "Mom, why did you get up so early? Have you had breakfast?"

Seeing her face becoming more and more ugly, she smiled again the next moment. Her kind smile made Mo Lin even more scared. It was over, it was over. When his mother was angry, it was better to speak gently. If she smiled so kindly, she would definitely beat him.

He raised his hands and begged for mercy: "Mother, mother, I am your biological son. Now I am the only one left at home. If I beat him to death, who will you find to vent your anger on? I will get up right now, right away."

Qiao Shu snorted, "Hurry up, the Queen is the princess's biological mother. The princess will marry into the family in the future. You must not be late for this banquet, otherwise it would be very rude."

Mo Lin nodded repeatedly. When he saw her walk out, he hurriedly got up to change his clothes. After a moment of dressing and washing up, he was dragged away before he had even had breakfast.

"Mom, I haven't eaten the mountain yet. I'm so hungry."

"Shut up. You deserve it for not being able to eat."

"I think you've become more and more unruly. Is it because your elder brother is not here and no one is keeping you under control? In the past, you never slept in."

Qiao Shu glared at him, dragged him onto the carriage, and shouted, "Cuiwei, we can leave Shishan now. Let's see where there is food and buy some for the Second Young Master."

"Yes, ma'am."

Mo Lin licked his face when he heard this, and said in a flattering manner: "Mom, I know that you still feel sorry for your son who is hungry, right?"

"No, mother is worried that if you don't eat, your stomach will growl when you go to the banquet, which will bring shame to the general's mansion. How will we find a daughter-in-law in the future?"

…There is motherly love, but not much!!

Qiao Shu said unhappily, "Tell me what kind of girl you like, so that I can pay attention to her. Good girls are usually snatched away, so it's better to act early."

Mo Lin shrank his head and whispered back, "Mom, what you said sounds like you're forcing a sale. We're a decent family, so we should be more tactful and gentle."

"Haha, if you could be like your third brother and find a wife even after fighting a war, your mother wouldn't have to worry so much. If you can't find one before you're thirty, you might as well marry into the family."

"Ah, mother, I am your son, how can I marry into your family?"

"Why not? You can't even bring a daughter-in-law back home. What are you doing here? Are you going to cause trouble for me? Anyway, if I can't find one before the age of thirty, you have to marry into my family."

"I have three sons, so I don't need one or half a son."

Mo Lin: ...He is such a big man, when did he become half a person?

a moment later

Cuiwei handed in two oil-paper bags and said softly, "Madam, I bought some buns. Let the second young master have some."

Qiao Shu glanced at him and said, "Take it and eat it quickly. We will be at the palace gate soon and you won't be able to eat it then."

"Okay, I'll eat it right away."

While eating, he mumbled, "Mom, I want to find a woman who is strong, can eat and drink, and has a cheerful and generous temperament. Don't cry easily. It gives me a headache to see her."

Qiao Shu added: "Is it still thrifty? Especially, I can't spend your money. It's better not to spend it. I can save it for you out of thin air."

Mo Lin looked expectant: "Who is it? Why haven't I heard of any girl like this? If your mother is so good, why didn't you show her to your son earlier? You have to make those girls who will fall down at the slightest breeze."

"Haha, a cow that plows the land is just what you want. Mother didn't know that my son doesn't like people. He really has some unique preferences. No wonder he can't find a wife."

"Huh? What are you talking about, mother? I'm talking about a human, how can it be a cow?"

Qiao Shu snorted, "Why not? The woman you want can only be non-human. Look, a cow is strong and can eat and drink for free. It eats grass, which costs basically nothing, and it doesn't cry."

"That's great. You can go with Niu from now on. When you get back, I will find you a wife."

Mo Lin had a bitter face: "Mom, don't be ridiculous, I didn't mean that at all. Why can my third brother find it? Maybe my destiny hasn't come yet. It will be fine when it comes."

"Son, your third brother was able to find the eldest princess because he was shameless and the princess was his god. Can you do that?"

"Also, even if you can do it, your martial arts are not as good as your third brother's, your face is not as good-looking as your third brother's, and your body is not as good-looking as your third brother's... huh? Your body looks good, but you are too big, most girls are afraid of you."

The more Qiao Shu looked at him, the deeper her frown became. What should she do with her son? She was really worried about him. He was not good-looking, and although he thought he was pretty, he still couldn't please girls. She would have to endure this in the future.

Mo Lin buried his head in eating the buns and was about to cry. His mother was his real mother, but why was she so merciless? He didn't want to be ugly, it was just that he was born like this.

He muttered, "I don't want to either. What can I do if I'm born like this? Mom, why did you give me your eldest brother and third brother such good looks? Why can't you give me half of them?"

Qiao Shu felt a little guilty and dodged a glance. That time with the bad second brother, he had drunk some wine and got a little drunk and... acted a little foolishly. It turned out that drinking doesn't lead to sex. It turns out that the second brother is not smart and his face is not so good either.

The voice lowered: "Well, this weird mother is not good enough. She didn't give you a good-looking appearance. Don't worry too much, my son. Let's take a closer look. Maybe it's just that fate hasn't arrived yet."

Mo Lin sniffed, feeling a little aggrieved: "Then you can't talk to me like that anymore in the future. You should speak properly."

"...Okay, I'll try my best."

"Not try your best, but be gentle, as gentle as you would to your brother."

Qiao Shu remained silent. She was a person who judged by appearance. Every time she looked at the eldest brother's stunning face, she couldn't really act viciously for fear of scaring him. But she was more casual with the second brother.
