The plot of Quick Wear is always wrong

27

When Madam Qi came back from the temple, she met someone from the palace at the door of her house, who came to call Minister Qi to the palace. Minister Qi had now been promoted to a higher position, in charge of the six ministries and seven government departments. He was another popular official in front of the emperor besides Prime Minister Lin. He had just taken office, so his official duties were a bit more numerous. But at this time...

Mrs. Qi looked at the sky and frowned. She couldn't help feeling a little uneasy, and this uneasiness was finally confirmed when Minister Qi returned home.

"What? The march is ahead of schedule?!"

The news came suddenly, Mrs. Qi was startled and quickly stood up.

"How many days earlier? Huai'an won't be able to come back tonight?"

"Don't worry, Madam. He should be back tonight. The new soldiers will enter the camp early tomorrow morning. The emperor will come to the city gate tower to see him off at dawn the next day."

Minister Qi frowned and felt annoyed.

The original date of the march was set for half a month later, and this time the prince was personally leading the expedition, so the sacrificial ceremony could not be sloppy. Even the military pay and rations that were sent out with the army were prepared according to the original deadline. Now it was moved forward by more than five days...

Minister Qi sighed.

Originally, he was going to watch there, but because the emperor was thinking of Old Master Qi and knew that Old Master Qi's grandson, his son, was also on the list of this military recruitment order, he allowed him to go home tonight...

Mrs. Qi wrung her handkerchief and immediately stopped caring about her sadness. She called the servants and started preparing the things that Qi Cheng would take with him.

Marching is not traveling, so we just take whatever we can use, such as knee pads, medicines, and dry food. Soon, a big bag is full.

Qi Xiu had naturally also received the news. He did not say much and went there with Old Master Qi, waiting in the front hall for Qi Chen to come back.

As for why this was brought forward, they all knew it, but this suddenness of the matter dispelled the uneasiness in their hearts, leaving only heaviness.

That night, the Qi Mansion was brightly lit. Several people sat together all night long. When it was slightly bright, Qi Cheng got up, said goodbye to his parents and grandfather, took the package handed to him by Qi Xiu, smiled, turned around and strode forward.

“This kid…”

Mrs. Qi muttered something, raised her hand to wipe away her tears, and said nothing else. She had repeated "I hope you are safe" many times last night. She had so many words to say, but in the end, all she had left was "I hope you are safe."

Although it seemed as if nothing had happened when Qi Cheng left, everyone felt empty inside. It was fine when Minister Qi entered the palace and was busy, but Old Tutor Qi and Madam Qi were a little unhappy when they were idle at home. Qi Xiu saw it, so he called Changqing and went to invite the Gu family.

The son of the Gu family also left home for the camp this morning. On the way, Chang Qing met Mrs. Gu and Gu Ya who were coming to the Qi Mansion. The two families thought of the same destination, so when they got together, they tacitly did not mention the matter.

They left after having dinner at the Qi Mansion. Qi Xiu sent his mother and grandfather back to the yard before returning to his own residence. Chang Qing walked in front of him with a lamp. The night was lonely. He sighed, feeling infinite sadness in his heart.
