The young couple from the farm fights back

After reading the letter, Jiang Li couldn't help but admire Mr. Xiao for being a good father who cared about his children.

Previously, Zhou Chunfeng mentioned to her in a letter that in recent years, in order to consolidate the various forces of the rebel army, the eldest master of the Xiao family had married several girls from aristocratic families and had three sons in succession. The eldest was about nine years old.

This time, the rebel army broke into the imperial city and was sure of victory. Once the Xiao family was firmly in power, and Que Ge'er, the eldest son and grandson of the Xiao family, was not around, his future situation would inevitably be speculated by those who were interested.

After all, the maternal families of the other children made great contributions to the rebels. Whether it was the position of the eldest prince or the position of the future crown prince, they were all dazzling power and wealth.

Jiang Li asked Yuan Niang to go to the school to inform Mr. Xiao and let the children go home early. He also asked Fang to take a few daughters-in-law to Que Ge's room to help pack the luggage.

When Que Ge'er learned that his father had sent someone to pick him up, he was delighted but more reluctant to leave. The young man thought that he would wait for his uncle to pick up his aunt and then leave together.

Unexpectedly, he had to separate from his aunt and siblings early.

Lieutenant General Jiang saw that the handsome young man had grown into a tall man with features that were 60% similar to those of the old man. He had more of the qualities of a scholar and was a good candidate to be the crown prince.

It is not difficult to see that Lady Li treats her children very well, providing them with the best food, clothing and other necessities, and raising them very well.

Front hall.

Brother Que respectfully knelt and kowtowed to Jiang Li, who was sitting on the soft seat above him. The young man couldn't help but feel his eyes moisten: "Aunt, I will wait for you in the capital when you return."

Jiang Li suppressed the reluctance in her heart, touched her nose with a handkerchief, and reached out to help the child up.

The young man is much taller than her now, and she has to look up to see him. If it weren't for the war, he would be old enough to get married and have children.

"Okay." Jiang Li held Que Ge'er's hand tightly and patted it twice gently.

Jiang Li calmed down the heat in his eyes, took the long box from Yuan Niang's hand beside him, handed it to Que Ge'er, opened the lid of the box, and a golden hairpin lay inside.

"Back then, your mother gave this hairpin to me. Your aunt has kept it for you, and now I'm returning it to you."

Upon seeing this, Deputy Generals Cheng and Jiang looked at each other in shock. They had never expected that the eldest lady of the Xiao family had left behind a token of loyalty.

Que Ge'er's eyes became red again. Although he could not remember his mother's appearance clearly, his longing for her never stopped. He put away the box with gratitude.

"Thank you, auntie."

"Take care on your journey."

Que Ge'er clenched the box in his hand and nodded heavily: "Yes."

Heng'er came forward with his two younger brothers, and Jing'er bowed to his elder brother to bid farewell.

Yijing said, "Brother, remember to write to us often."

Yiheng simply said two words: "Take care!"

Que Ge'er patted Yiheng and Yijing on the shoulders and said, "Okay."

Cheng Jin said, "Cousin, we'll see each other in the capital someday."

"it is good."

Yi An signaled Xing Dou behind him to bring a medicine box: "Brother, take the medicine in the box with you on the road, just in case."

Que Ge'er smiled. This younger brother, obsessed with medicine, always surprises people. "Thank you, brother."

Upon hearing this, Lieutenant General Jiang tactfully stepped forward and took the medicine box from Xingdou's hand.

Here, Yu Ming led Lan Jie'er forward to say farewell. Fu Li said, "Brother, take care on your journey."

Que Ge'er nodded and said, "From now on, I'll have to trouble you to take care of my aunt."

Yu Ming nodded: "Don't worry, brother, we will take care of Auntie's affairs."

Lan Jie'er was most reluctant to see her brother leave. Her eyes were red with tears. She pursed her lips and walked forward to pull Que Ge'er's sleeve: "Brother, will you forget Lan Jie'er?"

Que Ge'er loved this sister the most. He scratched Lan Jie'er's nose in amusement and said, "Of course I won't forget. Brother is waiting for you in the capital and has prepared many good things for you."

Upon hearing this, Lan Jie'er burst into laughter and blinked her watery eyes innocently: "Really? That's great. Brother, you wait for me in the capital."

"it is good."

Que Ge'er looked at his family again with reluctance. From now on, even if his uncle and aunt's family also moved to the capital, he knew that he would no longer be able to live under the same roof with his family like he did when he was a child.

Que Ge'er also politely bowed to Yuan Niang, Fang Shi and the others and said, "In the future, I'll have to trouble you to take good care of my aunt."

Yuan Niang and Fang Shi quickly returned the greeting, "Master Que, please rest assured. We will serve you wholeheartedly."

Finally, Que Ge'er came to Mr. Xiao.

Previously, Jiang Li asked Mr. Xiao for his opinion. If Mr. Xiao was willing, he could also return to Kyoto with Que Ge'er.

Unexpectedly, after thinking for a moment, the old man politely declined Jiang Li's proposal.

During these ten years, he and the old woman have become accustomed to life on the island. He has been guarding the child for Mr. Xiao for many years and has lived up to Mr. Xiao's kindness.

From then on, he continued to teach in Jianglin Pavilion. When Yiheng and his brothers left in the future, he could still teach the children of the clansmen on the island. Without the burden, he lived a much more comfortable life.

Jiang Li and Que Ge'er naturally had to respect his wishes.

"Sir, Brother Que bids farewell to you."

Mr. Xiao stroked his long beard with one hand and helped the child up from his kneeling position with the other: "Okay, get up."

"I'm going to say this shamelessly. If you encounter any difficult problems in the future, you can send me a letter and I'll analyze them for you."

"Yes, sir."

At this time, Ming Ye and Ming Yang came closer, followed by their parents, Ming Shi and his wife with their child.

"Madam." A group of people stepped forward and saluted Jiang Li.

Jiang Li nodded and gestured to Que Ge'er, "You've been following me since I was little. Even if you return to the capital, you'll need someone capable to accompany you. Let him go with you to the capital and take good care of the clan members for your aunt."

Que Ge'er was filled with gratitude. Seeing that his aunt had even arranged for his parents to come, a warmth welled up in his chest, and the warmth in his eyes became even stronger: "Yeah."

Jiang Li said with a smile: "And your Uncle Mingshi is also willing to work with you in the future."

Que Ge'er was stunned for a long while. Putting aside the tricks, Uncle Mingshi was an indispensable and important guard beside his aunt, and his aunt actually assigned him to do the job.

"aunt--."

Without waiting for Que Ge'er to finish, Jiang Li smiled and said, "There are ten guards outside the palace, who will be there to protect you from now on."

Deputy Generals Cheng and Jiang were completely dumbfounded. Although Deputy General Jiang did not know the true abilities of the guards of Changsheng Island, he had heard that everyone on the island possessed superb martial arts skills.

From what he saw, the Jingwei in Lao Zhou's hand had remained the same for more than ten years. It had been on the battlefield for more than ten years without any mistakes, helping Lao Zhou to kill all enemies on the battlefield.

Que Ge'er knelt down to Jiang Li again: "Thank you, auntie."

Jiang Li stepped forward and helped the person up: "Don't kneel down, don't let people think that your aunt is putting on airs in front of you."

Jiang Li said this intentionally for the two deputy generals to hear.

She placed someone next to Que Ge'er, which inevitably made people suspicious. All she could do was to provide Que Ge'er with a guarantee for the future.

Of course, the people she sent out were all willing to follow Que Ge'er. For several generations, the people of Changsheng Island were all royal guards. Naturally, they were happy to be able to continue the ancestral business.

Lieutenant General Jiang and Lieutenant General Cheng could hear it and touched their noses awkwardly.

I have to say that the wife of the Zhou family is no ordinary woman. She is in charge of the entire Changsheng Island. She is not an ordinary woman.
