The weather is getting cooler, and it gets darker a little earlier.

The yamen was on duty, Zhao Junsheng walked out of the class room and was about to go home, and a scribe next to him casually said to his colleagues: "I'll go first, I have to rush back to give my brother-in-law a drink to see him off, how dangerous the northern campaign is, I don't know if I can come back alive this time, hey!" ”

Zhao Junsheng shook his head when he heard this, the news had already spread, he heard about it on the day the military post was sent, and he didn't care much about it at the time, after all, the object of the conscription order was only soldiers, and it had nothing to do with ordinary people.

Someone in the class room greeted Zhao Junsheng from time to time, he nodded his head one by one, and when he walked to the door, he suddenly stopped, he remembered something, Mulan's family seems to be a soldier, right?

Thinking of this stubble, Zhao Junsheng's face changed, "It can't be so coincidental, right?" ”

He shook his head, and immediately turned around and shouted, "Pei Jin!" ”

When Pei Jin heard Zhao Junsheng calling him, he immediately trotted over and bent over and said, "What do you have to say to join the army?" ”

"You go find a military poster!"

Pei Jin asked: "I don't know which county's military post I need to join the army?" ”

"Yucheng!"

"Okay, my subordinates will pick it up immediately!"

Pei Jin is really a person who can do things, and quickly found a Yucheng military post and sent it to Zhao Junsheng, Zhao Junsheng unfolded it and looked at it with ten lines.

When the three words Huajiabao appeared on the list of the conscription order, he felt that his heart was beating hard, and the first name in the first vertical line next to the three words Huajiabao was Huaarc.

Zhao Junsheng took a deep breath, calmed down, turned his head and asked: "Pei Jin, you have been in the yamen for a long time and know a lot, this official asks you, if there is a soldier family with only an elderly father and a young son who is still underage, and cannot fight, how will the government deal with this situation?" ”

Pei Jin said: "Of course, it is up to the old father to go, if you can't fight, you can be a gangman, a groom, and escort grain and grass materials, it's just a soldier, and it's not the main battle arm of the imperial court, someone has to do these chores!" ”

Zhao Junsheng asked: "If you have a daughter, can the daughter go to the army instead of her father?" ”

Pei Jin laughed dryly: "It's funny to join the army, how can a woman join the army?" This is a taboo thing, if it is discovered by the commander of the army, it is in danger of being killed! Think about it, the army is full of strong men like beasts, if you find a woman in the army, then what's the matter? ”

Zhao Junsheng's heart fell to the bottom, he thought about it and asked: "Can a son-in-law replace his father-in-law in the army?" ”

Pei Jin was stunned for a moment, "This ······ The subordinates have never heard of this kind of thing, so it should be okay, after all, the son-in-law is also half a son! ”

Zhao Junsheng nodded and patted Pei Jin's shoulder: "Okay, this official knows!" ”

Leading the horse from the office to the street, Zhao Junchang breathed a sigh of relief, and Liang Yi followed him and asked, "Young master, what's wrong with you?" ”

Zhao Junsheng shook his head and said, "It's okay!" Young master, I'm going to go to Huajiabao, it's going to get dark, and it's not convenient to take you with me, so go back first! ”

"That's not good, I'm serving the young master, how can I leave the young master!" Liang Yi was a little stubborn.

Zhao Junsheng had no choice but to say: "Okay, let's hurry up and rush to Huajiabao for dinner early!" ”

"Hmm!"

After leaving the city, the two of them rode their horses and ran half way before it was completely dark, so they could only continue to move forward in disguise, and when they arrived at Huajiabao, they stood under the fort gate and shouted for a long time before letting the fort gate be opened inside.

The two were led by the burgers to the courtyard of the Hua family, and someone had already come to report the Hua family, and the family had already gotten up and waited at home, and the lights were lit in the hall.

Hua Mulan led Hua Xiong out and asked, "Brother Junsheng, why are you here so late?" ”

"Let's go inside!" Zhao Junsheng said and walked into the hall.

came to the flower arc and bowed his hand: "Little nephew, meet Uncle Hua and aunt!" ”

"Take a seat, Junsheng, what are you doing so late? I'm not afraid of encountering villains on the road with this black light, don't do this next time! Hua Arc couldn't help but preach.

"Yes, yes, the emperor issued an edict to recruit retired officers and soldiers, and they all sent military posts, and the little nephew only remembered that Uncle Hua's family is also a soldier today, isn't it in a hurry, so he hurried over!"

Hua Xiong shouted from the side: "Brother-in-law! ”

Zhao Junsheng stretched out his hand and touched his head, and said with a smile: "Good, good, good!" ”

Several members of the Hua family looked at each other with sad faces, and Hua Arc said to Hua Yuan: "You take Xiong'er to prepare some food for Junsheng and them, and then get a pot of wine, I will have two glasses with Junsheng today!" ”

"Huh!" Hua Yuan agreed, took Hua Xiong's hand and beckoned a maid to the kitchen behind, Liang Yi shouted: "Brother Xiong, I'll go too!" ”

"Come on!"

There were only three family members left in the hall, and Hua Mulan brought a cup of tea to Zhao Junsheng and Hua Arc and sat with them.

Hua Arc sighed: "Our family is the old man and the male two men, the male is too young, naturally he can't go into battle, the old man's legs and feet are not very neat, I don't know how to be good in the past few days after receiving the military post, the family is worried!" ”

Zhao Junsheng took a sip of tea and said slowly: "There must be a way to solve this matter, Uncle has bad legs and feet, he must not be able to go, Xiong'er is still too young, Mulan is a woman, and he can't go." The kid has already thought about it along the way, although Mulan hasn't passed the door yet, but anyway, the kid is also your son-in-law, a son-in-law and a half, and the little nephew will join the army for you! ”

Hua Arc and Hua Mulan's father and daughter were shocked when they heard this, and Hua Arc excitedly vetoed: "No, absolutely not!" Marching and fighting is not child's play, how can it be said that substitution can be replaced? As soon as you go to the battlefield, the swords and guns have no eyes, and the arrows are flying wildly, and you will die at any time, which is a fatal thing! ”

Zhao Junsheng hurriedly said; "Uncle Hua, I am your son-in-law, who will go if I don't go? If the roll call is not reached, you will be treated as a deserter, and not only will the pastures and fields be taken back by the government, but you will also be arrested and executed! ”

Hua Arc categorically refused, spitting everywhere: "No matter what you say, the old man will never agree to let you go!" Even if you go, the government may not accept it, you are a son-in-law, not a son, and the old man has never heard that a son-in-law can serve in the army instead of his father-in-law! Also, your Zhao family is such a lone seedling as you, if something happens to you on the battlefield, how can the old man explain to my old brother Zhao Gui under Jiuquan? The old man is to blame even if he dies! ”

Zhao Junsheng didn't know how to continue for a while, and Hua Mulan didn't know how to open her mouth to Zhao Junsheng.

Hua Arc sighed: "Junsheng, if you have this heart, the old man is already very satisfied, if you meet an old friend from the past, the old man can show them that the old man's son-in-law is the best!" But fighting in the army is not a joke, this is a dead person, you are a weak scholar, the old man can't let you die, besides, you are young and now you are too old to join the army, the future is limitless, and the old man can't delay you! ”

Zhao Junsheng said anxiously: "Uncle Hua, how can this be regarded as harming me, I am voluntary!" ”

Hua Arc waved his hand: "You don't have to say it!" ”

Hua Mulan plucked up the courage and said to Zhao Junsheng: "Brother Junsheng, I have thought about it, I want to join the army on behalf of my father, this is the only way at present!" ”

Zhao Junsheng jumped up and shouted, "What are you kidding? You are a woman, how can you join the army? No, absolutely not, I won't let you go! ”

Hua Mulan knew that Zhao Junsheng's reaction would definitely be very strong, but she didn't expect that she would be so excited that her emotions would be out of control, so she had to say to Hua Arc: "Grandpa, you go back to the room to rest first, I have something I want to say to Brother Junsheng alone!" ”

"Hey······" Hua Arc sighed, got up on crutches and walked into the room.
