The Marquise: I Earn My Own Worship

"I always felt like I didn't look much like my sister and father, but it turns out I look more like my mother."

It’s a pity that there is no mirror now, otherwise Xuan Ge’er would have to look at himself in the mirror a few more times.

Today is Wei Jie'er's happy event. She hasn't missed her deceased mother so much in a long time.

"If only mother were still here, our family would be drinking tea and chatting about family matters together at this time."

Just by imagining it, the two felt that such a day would definitely be wonderful.

"There are always disappointments in life. How can we expect perfection in everything? Isn't that right?"

Sister Wei tried to counsel Xuan Ge'er, but Xuan Ge'er tilted his head slightly and said sullenly after a while, "I'm just worried that I won't be able to support you in the future."

If he were from an ordinary family, he would study hard to get a good academic record and become a high-ranking official.

With a powerful younger brother, my sister will not be bullied at her husband's house. Whenever she is unhappy, he will break in and take her back to live with him. If she is not happy with her life, he will support her for the rest of her life.

But after marrying into the royal family, the Sixth Prince is the king and he is the minister. How easy is it to get her out?

Moreover, although the Sixth Prince is good friends with his brother, he still has to say that he will definitely not live long. In the future, his sister will be alone, just like their father, and her life will be so difficult.

When Sister Wei heard what Brother Xuan said, her nose felt sore and tears almost fell.

So this is what a close relative is. No matter what choice you make, there will be someone to pave the way for you.

When she was worried about marrying someone she didn't like, she never thought that her younger brother had already found a way out for her.

"With your words, my sister is satisfied."

"Sister, don't cry."

Xuan Ge'er was at a loss as he wiped the tears from his sister's face with his sleeve. Wei Jie'er smiled and said, "I'm happy, but it's hard for you to worry so much at such a young age."

Xuan Ge'er felt that the tears on his fingertips were cold, but they burned his heart.

"Sister, you've been worried about me for so many years."

It is said that one should not marry the eldest daughter who has lost her mother. This is the reason.

When the mother in the family passes away, the eldest daughter naturally takes on the role of "mother". The eldest brother is like a father, and the eldest sister is like a mother.

"We are siblings from the same mother, and we always consider each other in everything we do. If our mother were still alive, she would surely be relieved."

Sister Wei wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with her fingertips and continued with a smile, "Xuan'er, I have made my own decision. Since I have chosen this path, I have made all the preparations. Remember, there are gains and losses. It depends on whether what you gain is what you want and whether the losses are what you care about. If you balance the two, you can make the decision you want. Remember this?"

Xuan Ge'er's eyes were red, and he could not turn back after the imperial decree.

"remember."

Sister Wei touched Xuan'er's head. His hair was so soft. No wonder her grandmother liked to touch them like this.

"Don't cry. If you really want to support your sister, then study hard. You are my biggest guarantee."

Xuan Ge'er nodded vigorously and vowed in his heart that he must move forward, make a name for himself, and become his sister's strongest support.

In the past, he had somewhat resented his father for being always busy with official duties and rarely getting close to them.

Now in this situation, he understood a little bit. Although his father was not good at speaking, he always thought about them in his heart, and everything he did was for them.

"My cousin used to be a bit out of touch, but if I'm right, he's had some luck this time. We don't have any other brothers, so you treat my cousin like he's your real brother. I know you're a thoughtful person, and if you two serve in the same officialdom in the future, people's hearts are unpredictable, so you should help him more sometimes."

When Sister Wei came to her senses, she realized that she had spoken too early.

Maybe it was because I was worried about gains and losses that I started to feel confused.

Xuan Ge'er listened very carefully, "I know, I have always been good to my brother, in my heart he is my real brother. My brother is more capable than me, if my brother needs me in the future, I will do my best to help him."

That night, the two of them sat on the corridor, enjoying the night breeze and talking for a long time.

Inside the house, Song Shengfu, Duan Jingzong and the others also gathered together and recalled many past events.

Song Shengfu sighed in her heart, fortunately she had her memory, otherwise it would be embarrassing if she couldn't remember sometimes.

But it’s okay if you can’t remember. It’s common for people to have poor memory when they get old. Just say a sentence or two.

Time passes slowly in everyone's anticipation, and the longer we wait, the longer it seems to pass.

Finally, the news that the capital was only a hundred miles away reached Kyoto, and everyone in the court began to prepare.

The most active ones were the princes. The second prince, the fourth prince and the fifth prince all began to convene emergency meetings with their confidants to discuss how to win over those capable generals and expand their own power.

"Especially those young players who are showing their potential. These kind of people are the easiest to win over, and they don't have any powerful backing."

Everyone is waiting for this group of people to come back.

Although they did not attack Mo Sheng this time, they recaptured the city, which could be considered a victorious return, so a grand banquet was held in the capital.

Not only was a banquet held in the imperial palace, but the banks of the main roads in the capital were also filled with banquets. The military camps outside the capital also prepared banquets early, and all the soldiers celebrated together.

The closer Kang Ge'er got to the capital, the more flustered he became, and he no longer felt the excitement and anticipation he had at the beginning.

Just as he was sighing for who knows how many times, Old Xuan, who was sitting casually and gnawing on a roasted pheasant, leaned over and asked.

"What's wrong? Aren't you happy you're going home?"

Kang Ge'er ate the food in his mouth with an expressionless face. The originally delicious meat no longer had any appetite in his mouth.

"Oh, you don't understand."

Han Yang, who was twirling the pheasant on the stick with one hand, laughed out loud when he heard this.

"How come a masked hero who can fight ten people alone still sighs and worries?"

Kang Ge'er showed his strength at a young age. He has strong hands and great power.

An adult Mo Sheng man couldn't even beat him in a fight of strength.

In a one-on-one fight, if Han Yang and Bai Yi were not both secret guards who had been trained for many years, they would really not be able to defeat him in a head-on fight.

He was born to do this kind of work.

"When the hero returns home, he becomes the little hero. No, he becomes the rake hero."

Kang Ge'er sighed again, and everyone realized that he was afraid of his family.

after all……

I ran away secretly at first.

"Why don't you go back now and go directly to the palace to find your brother."

Kang Ge'er finished the meat in his hand, wiped his mouth, took something out of his pocket, and then froze.

"No, I didn't take it with me when I left."

He was so sad that he had no tears left. He decided to think about how to explain himself when he got back.

He probably wouldn't even have time to open his mouth before his father would drag him into the ancestral hall and whip him with two clan whips.

"It's not that serious. But I'm going to go back and see if those guys in the camp have become stronger."

Old Xuan's eyes moved very quickly. If this kid hadn't said it, he would not have remembered this.
