Chapter 1122: figured out
Mu Yangling is right, there is indeed a crack between Mu Shi and Mu Bowen, otherwise Mu Bowen would not find Mu Yangling, I hope that my sister will join in to reconcile the conflict between their father and son.
But a letter from Mu Shi directly dampened Mu Bowen's enthusiasm.
In the letter, Mu Shi rebuked Mu Bowen for not thinking about his sister. Marrying into the royal family, he had to be cautious in his words and deeds, and there were many things to do. His sister finally came back, so do you want her to worry about you?
warned him not to tell Mu Yangling about these things.
Mu Bowen couldn't help but feel sad. He couldn't tell his mother about this. It was not easy for his younger brothers and sisters to intervene. If there was no sister to reconcile in the middle, would he and his father have been so deadlocked all the time?
The young lady has told him that when there is a conflict between people, it must be resolved immediately and communicated actively, otherwise the longer the time goes, the small conflict will become a big one, or even a thorn in the heart, no matter what. Whether the other party is a stranger or a familiar person, it is not good for things to evolve to this extent.
The former will make them build an enemy, the latter they will be sad.
And he is really sad now, but as soon as he had a disagreement with his father, he wanted to have a good talk with his father, but his father was either too busy to get away, or he would quarrel as soon as they met, and he could not communicate well, wait for him When he was determined to finish his words no matter how difficult it was, his father set off on the expedition.
Now that nearly a year has passed, there is almost no communication between their father and son. He has already felt that the contradiction between father and son is getting bigger and bigger, and when his sister comes back at this time, he can't help but give Mu Bowen a kind of support.
Compared to his stalwart father and loving mother, his sister is more like a guide in his life.
So seeing her, Mu Bowen told her about his troubles without hesitation. Just the night before, he thought that the conflict between him and his father should be resolved this time, but he did not expect his father to resist so much. Even think of him that way.
Could it be that in his father's eyes, he was such a selfish person who ignored his brothers and sisters?
Thinking of the stern wording in the letter, Mu Bowen's eyes were a little sore, and he tried hard not to show his abnormality. He first returned home to say goodbye to his mother before returning to his post.
Mu Yangling was worried for two days, and finally couldn't help but write a letter to her father. This time, she no longer persuaded her, but just asked her father what happened between him and Bowen.
Mu Yangling felt that she only listened to the blog post. Maybe her father's understanding was different from what they thought?
So you should ask your father to see what he says and thinks.
This time, Mu Yangling did not use the post station to deliver the letter, but used flying pigeons to pass the book.
And Mu Shi, who was far away in Taiyuan, had just received the first letter sent by Mu Yangling. Mu Shi was a little annoyed at first. He sighed after seeing the date of the letter. It seems that his letter to Bowen was still too late. step.
Mu Shi opened the letter, and after reading it, his eyes were full of complicated emotions, and his face couldn't help but take on a bit.
If A Ling didn't say anything, he would almost forget what happened in the past.
Mu Shi put down the letter, knocked on the table, and sat down on his chair and began to think about the little things over the years.
He didn't move until dusk fell and the room was completely dark. The servant who came to light the lamp outside hesitantly called out, "Master?"
Mu Shi came back to his senses and said in a hoarse voice, "Go back, you don't need to light the lights."
The servant was just about to ask if he wanted to set the meal, but when he saw that there was no movement inside, he felt a little nervous, so he didn't dare to ask any more, and slowly stepped back.
In the room, Mu Shi's eyes were a little wet, and his grip on the letter was tight and loose. In the final analysis, it was because he had been promoted too fast in recent years, his heart was too big, and he had just neglected his family.
Only then did Mu Shi realize that he was not a good father!
Mu Yangling likes her parents in this life very much, because her mother Shu Wanniang is a typical loving mother, putting her children first. Although she is weak, as long as her children are involved, she can be like a bamboo and will never bend. Yang Ling can ignore all the shortcomings of her mother and is willing to open her hands to protect her under her wings.
Although her father was from the feudal era, he was not at all arbitrary. When she was a child, when she was a child, whatever she wanted to do or come up with strange ideas, although her father did not agree with her, she would still let her toss and toss, and would allow her to do it. She wears men's clothes, goes hunting in the mountains, and sells game in the city. She is more tolerant than her mother to her and her younger brother.
In contrast, her father in her previous life was more like a person from the feudal era, so Mu Yangling liked Mu Shi very much.
And the quality of a person will not change easily. At this time, Mu Shi's tolerance and reflection made him figure out some things.
In the letter, Mu Yangling talked about their 20 years of life and past events at length, which also made Mu Shi start to recall, from 20 years ago to the present, and in the memory, the problems between him and his son Bowen were naturally It stands out.
In the end, it was his fault.
It was fine until Bowen was five years old. At that time, they lived in Linshan Village. Although he went into the mountains to hunt or sell game in the city every day, he spent half a day with his son, making toys for him and holding him on top of him. Go out to play on your shoulders, accompany him in reading and writing, and teach him the principles of life.
But after the age of five, everything changed when they fled to Xingzhou and were incorporated as a military household. When I go to the Jin Kingdom, it takes three or four months or half a year.
From the age of five, boys are the most naughty, and it is also the time when children receive education and need their father the most. However, at that time, he could count the number of times he went home a year with a slap. Spirit is in charge.
It can be said that A Ling played the role of father and sister in Bowen's life.
Therefore, although Bowen admires his father, he is accustomed to discussing things with his sister and telling Aling.
When he finally settles down and doesn't have to run outside for years and months, his son can be on his own. Not only can he read well, but he can also handle matters in the farmhouse and the nursery. Fan, for such a sensible son, he has little to teach him.
The only thing that made him make up his mind was only two times, once when he tried out in a foreign country, and once when he got a wife.
However, the former is the one he is hesitating to ask him, and the latter is the one he has already set for him to talk to.
Since he has hardly cared about him for twenty years, why should he think that he is good for him at this time?
Mu Shi sighed, after all, it was because his heart was too big.
He is already a second-rank general, and he has made great achievements in this expedition. The will to be promoted to a second-rank general is on the way. In the future, his contacts in the army will be inherited by Bosi, and Bosi will be the worst member of the third-rank in the future. General, and Bowen was born in the second-class jinshi, and it is not a problem to be a third-rank civil official with his ability.
The two brothers are both civil and military, as long as they are in harmony, then the prosperity of their Mu family for a hundred years will not be a problem. It is this heart that makes him reluctant to let his son resign.
But recalling the days and ideals twenty years ago, his persistence now is like a joke. Back then, didn’t he just want the children to be safe and happy for a lifetime?
And what he is doing now is cutting off his joy.
