Early the next morning, everyone reluctantly sent Nao Nao and Gu Xici away.

The capital is more than 2,000 miles away from the Mobei camp, and it would take half a month even if the horse is driven at full speed. It was the first time for the two young men to travel far away. Princess Protector's Mansion and Duke Dingguo's Mansion each sent a team of troops to escort them there.

To ensure that the two of them can arrive at the Mobei camp safely.

Looking at the retreating figure of his grandson (great-grandson), Mr. Qin and others all had red eyes and did not want to go back for a long time.

Everyone knows the difference, and no one knows when we will meet again.

Qin Shan wiped his face and said worriedly: "This child has grown up with good food and clothing, but I don't know if he can adapt to it. I heard that life in the military camp is very hard. He doesn't eat well and sleep well, and he has to train day and night."

Lin Qiuniang wiped her eyes and said, "Why are you so anxious? You can still come back if you can't adapt."

Qin Shan didn't know where the link was wrong, so he said with a straight face: "My grandson is very powerful, you old woman, don't say depressing words here!"

Lin Qiuniang's anger also rose, and she pinched his waist: "If you didn't start the conversation, who would talk to you? Look at how powerful you are!"

This pinch was not gentle, Qin Shan's facial features were deformed in pain, and his aura immediately weakened: "Take it easy, the children are watching."

Lin Qiuniang glared at him, let go of her hand and continued to look in the direction where her grandson left, but her tears stopped.

The couple didn't argue much when they were young, but as they got older in the past few years, they would quarrel almost every day. In Mrs. Miao's words, their life was so comfortable that they didn't have to worry about the livelihood of their children and grandchildren, and they had nothing to do.

Others felt unhappy, so they didn't pay much attention to the couple's petty quarrel. At this time, they wished someone would come and quarrel with them, so as to dilute the feeling of separation.

As soon as Nao Nao left, the Qin family stayed in the capital for two days and then returned. Before leaving, they kept reminding Qin Xiaoxiao and Jing Heng that once the news of Nao Nao's safe arrival came back, they must send someone to Qingshan Village in time.

Let them know.

Qin Xiaoxiao was afraid that her elders would feel uncomfortable if they went back, so she simply asked Mo Mo to take them back with her two younger sisters, and stay in Qingshan Village for a while, waiting for the elders to feel better before coming back.

The three brothers and sisters had no objections. In their eyes, Qingshan Village was much more interesting than the capital city. Moreover, they were freed from the control of their parents, and they were veritable little overlords in their grandfather's family.

A month and a half later, the guards who escorted Nao Nao came back, not only bringing back a letter of safety for Nao Nao, but also a lot of specialties from Mobei.

Qin Xiaoxiao read the safety letter and flipped through the large and small packages again, her eyes red: "This kid, I didn't expect him to have such a careful side."

Jing Heng smiled and said: "He has always been more careful than the boss, so he will definitely be able to take good care of himself there."

Qin Xiaoxiao nodded and unconsciously smoothed out the wrinkled letter: "I don't know when I will come back from this trip. As time goes by, I am afraid that he will find it troublesome and refuse to write back frequently."

Jing Heng consoled him: "Even if he is lazy and doesn't want to write, Xici will write it for him."

Qin Xiaoxiao said: "This kid Xi Ci is stable and good at dealing with people. I can feel more at ease with him watching from the side."

Jing Heng had a good impression of Gu Xici, with a look of approval on his face: "This kid's mind is very good, and he is a malleable talent."

Qin Xiaoxiao also thought the same way: "The two brats have come and gone with countless people over the years, and they have the best relationship with Xi Ci. It's rare that Xi Ci lost his mother at a young age, and he has no other choice.

My father likes it and can develop such a good temper."

At the end of her speech, her tone could not hide her pity.

Jing Heng said calmly: "When people leave, the Duke's Mansion will be in decline once the old Duke leaves. I am afraid that I will have to rely on Western Ci to restore the former glory of the Duke's Mansion in the future. I just don't know when that day will come.

Will his confused father regret it?"

When Qin Xiaoxiao heard this, a look of disgust appeared on his face: "This kind of person is not worthy of being a father!"

Because his wife died in childbirth, he was angry at his child. How could a father do it? Who should be blamed? It should be the person who made Xi Ci's mother pregnant at an advanced age!

"Okay, okay, don't mention irrelevant people. Let him slowly repent in the future." Jing Heng looked helplessly at his indignant wife. Whenever she mentioned that irresponsible man, she would always be angry for a long time.

.

Qin Xiaoxiao calmed down her anger and felt more and more pity for Gu Xici: "I heard that Mobei is very cold. I will make some thick cotton clothes for them and have them sent there before winter."

Jing Heng was speechless: “Didn’t the cotton-padded clothes and quilts bring a lot to you?”

Qin Xiaoxiao said plausibly: "They are still growing. No matter how much they bring, they will never be enough to wear. I have to prepare more to prevent them from not wearing anything when they need to wear them."

Jingheng was convinced by her and did not dare to refute.

However, thinking that she has not made any progress in her craftsmanship over the years, I can't help but feel sympathy for the children far away in Mobei. I wonder if they dare to wear the clothes they received.

Qin Xiaoxiao naturally didn't know what the man was thinking, and had already begun to think about how to make the cotton clothes warmer.

Time flies and three years have passed.

In the past three years, Nao Nao would get a letter sent back almost every month. The content of the letter was very simple. It was that everything was fine with him in the Mobei Camp, don't read it, and other strange things that he sent back.

There are quite a few things.

At first, Qin Xiaoxiao had a lot of dissatisfaction. He reminded his younger son to write more in his replies more than once, preferably about his daily life in the military camp. However, the boy seemed not to understand, and the next letter was still

A few dry sentences.

Qin Xiaoxiao lost her temper and gave up hope in the end. But every time her son's letter arrived, she had to read it back and forth several times, eager to read every word.

After not being able to see her younger son for a long time and not being able to care about his affairs in the military camp, Qin Xiaoxiao's attention fell on her eldest son. On this day, she accidentally discovered that a mustache had grown around his mouth.

I couldn't help but stare at it for a long time.

Silently being stared at all over his body, he asked tremblingly: "Mom, why are you looking at me like this?"

Qin Xiaoxiao patted his head and sighed faintly: "The hair has grown, it's time to get a wife."

"Ahem!" Momo was shocked and suddenly choked on his own saliva: "Mom, I, I'm only eighteen, I'm not in a hurry, and you don't have to be in a hurry either!"

Qin Xiaoxiao said angrily: "Eighteen is not too young. Now I want you to see each other and decide on the one you like. I'm not asking you to get married tomorrow."

After listening silently, knowing that the old mother was serious, she hurriedly said: "My father didn't marry my mother until he was twenty. How can I, as a son, get married earlier than my father? Let's wait another three to five years."

After seeing a few friends get married, he was so controlled that he couldn't go out to play at any time like before, so he no longer had any ambitions about getting a wife. And he didn't feel that he was old enough to get a wife, even if he was in his thirties.

It's not too late.

He still has more than ten years of great time, how can he be restricted by his family? What a joke!

"What are you talking about? According to what you said, my son will get married a few years later than me. From generation to generation, won't we have to bury our necks in the dirt or be single?" Qin Xiaoxiao was angry and funny, and slapped her in the face.

On the back of the eldest son's head.

Momo had no choice but to resort to coquettishness: "Mom, please take this matter slowly. I'm not even prepared at all. You suddenly ask me to look at someone else's girl. Isn't this embarrassing me?"

Seeing that his mother was smiling but not smiling, he gritted his teeth and simply betrayed his twin brother who had been away from home for three years: "Mom, my second brother never came back as soon as he went to Mobei. You always miss him. My grandparents are going crazy."

Well, you might as well call him back while giving him an excuse to look at me."

Brother, brother, please don't blame your brother. Anyway, you are going to get married sooner or later. It doesn't matter if it's earlier or later. For the sake of you and me, just help me share the burden.

Qin Xiaoxiao knew what his eldest son had in mind, but he felt that the proposal was indeed a good one, so he nodded: "Okay, I will send a letter to your brother, and then we will just let you two see each other together, so that I can

Save yourself some trouble.”

Hearing this silently, his handsome face instantly turned green. Intimidated by his mother's majesty, he did not dare to object. He could only comfort himself and said: Having a younger brother can help share some of my mother's attention, and it is a good thing.

Later, Qin Xiaoxiao mentioned this matter to Jingheng and Princess Huguo.

Naturally, the mother and son had no objections, and even when they went out to meet friends, they did not forget to mention the life-long events of their two sons (grandsons).

Soon, word spread in the capital that the princess wanted to see the two young masters, and more and more people came to visit. Anyone who has a daughter in the family and feels that their family background matches the prince's family, no one wants to miss it.

This marriage.

Not to mention the family background of the county prince's palace, the twins Mo Mo and Nao Nao have been a topic of discussion among the ladies in the capital since they were born. As the brothers grow up day by day, their abilities and qualities will be more or less passed on to them.

The two brothers have not had a bad reputation in recent years. At most, they played tricks on someone's children or got into fights with someone when they were young. Such things are not serious at all. How many boys have never had a fight in their childhood?

Especially the looks of the two of them are very outstanding among the aristocratic families in the capital, and they have attracted many young girls who are in love. However, these girls are also carefully raised by their families and cannot show their love to the man they like.

Things are coming.

Therefore, these noble ladies all hope to get married with the prince's palace. It is best for their daughter to marry silently as the eldest son. After all, according to convention, even if he cannot inherit the title of Nanming County Prince in the future, a marquis will definitely not be able to escape.

In comparison, Nao Nao is much inferior. He has no title to inherit, and if he has no achievements in the military, he will be unbeatable if he can climb to the rank of fifth-rank general in the future.
