Hua Hu pretended to be relaxed, smiled and waved his hands and said: "Don't worry, didn't you say in the military post that this time you are going to guard a border town, and you usually don't go out to fight. Besides, if Grandpa doesn't go, why should you Let your little brother go? He is only ten years old, how can he go?"

"But even if you don't let me go, I can't let you go, my daughter. I heard that Woye Town and Huaishuo Town are both in the north of Yinshan Mountain. It is thousands of miles away to go to Yinshan Mountain. With your current physical condition, I'm afraid you won't be able to go. Don't worry, my daughter will fall ill!" Hua Mulan lost control of her emotions.

There was no other way for a while, the Hua family was all sad.

Hua Mulan got up and said, "Grandfather, if it's really impossible, let's hire someone to replace you. As long as we can hide from the government's inspection, is it worth the money we pay?"

Hua Hu sighed: "Mulan, you think things are too simple, if you spend money to solve the problem, that would be great, do you think the government won't prevent soldiers from hiring someone to replace them? If you spend money to hire someone Instead, when the fight starts, everyone will be scared away, and the government will not hold those people accountable, but will only cause trouble for us military households, understand?"

Even the method of paying someone to replace it is useless, what else can be done?Hua Mulan couldn't help feeling a little discouraged.

For several days in a row, the Hua family never stopped moaning and sighing. Seeing that the time for Hua Hu to report was getting closer and closer, the Hua family's faces became more and more sad.

That night, Hua Mulan suddenly had a

Thinking about it, she got up, put on clothes and knocked on the door of her parents' room with an oil lamp in her hand: "Grandpa, Auntie, my daughter has something to tell you, open the door!"

The door opened soon, and Hua Yuan asked, "Mulan, is there anything you can't talk about tomorrow at such a late hour?"

Hua Mulan walked into the room and saw Huahu lying on the bed with her clothes on, and walked over slowly.

Hua Hu asked suspiciously, "Mulan, what's the matter?"

Hua Mulan put the oil lamp on the table, and said to Hua Hu, "Grandpa, my daughter has thought about it, you can't go, neither can my younger brother, and you can't pay someone to replace it, so let my daughter go!"

"You?" Huahu opened her mouth wide in surprise, pointed at Hua Mulan and said, "You, you, how can you, a girl, go to the battlefield? My Great Wei is not cowardly enough to let women go to battle to kill the enemy! Besides, the army is full of men, so it is too inconvenient for you to mix in with a group of men. Once you are found to be a daughter, some commanding generals are very taboo about women mixing in the army, and some are worried about disturbing the morale of the army. Discovery, the consequences are disastrous!"

Hua Mulan was silent for a while, then raised her head and said, "Don't worry, Grandpa, I will be careful not to let others find out that I am a daughter. With my daughter's martial arts skills, you don't have to worry about her being bullied!"

"Even if that's the case!" Hua Hu frowned and waved her hands, feeling very depressed.

Hua Mulan got angry and said loudly: "This is the only way now, otherwise what will you do? My daughter can't watch you or your younger brother go to battle to die! If you go to join the army, your daughter will have to marry sooner or later, and the family will be left alone." A Niang and her younger brother are gone, how do they manage such a big Huajiabao? The Hua family will be defeated sooner or later! If you let your daughter go to the army, you stay and take care of the family affairs, and let your younger brother take over when he grows up. The house will never fall!"

Hua Yuanshi stood aside, not knowing what to do, but kept wiping away tears.

At this moment, Hua Xiong walked in, wiping his eyes and yawning, "Grandfather, Mother, Sister, what's the matter with you? Why did you quarrel?"

Hua Mulan quickly pushed him away: "It's okay, sister is discussing something with grandpa, you should go back to your room and rest!"

"Oh, then I'll go back to sleep!" Hua Xiong rubbed his eyes, turned around and walked out of the room.

Huahu looked at her ten-year-old son, recalled what her daughter said just now, sighed, and her tone softened: "If you go to join the army, how will Junsheng explain? Besides, you don't know what to do when you go. How long, if you don't come back for several years, do you want him to wait for you? After all, you are his unmarried wife, and you have to get his consent for this matter!"

Seeing that Grandpa let go, Hua Mulan also breathed a sigh of relief, but she didn't know how to tell Zhao Junsheng about it.

Chapter 98 I want to replace my father in the army

The weather turned cooler, and the sky darkened earlier.

The yamen was on duty, and Zhao Junsheng came out of his class to go home. A clerk next to him casually said to his colleagues, "I'm leaving first, and I have to rush back to give my brother-in-law a drink to see him off. There are many battles in the north. It's dangerous, and 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 spread long ago. He heard about it the day the military post was sent out. He didn't pay much attention to it at the time.

Zhao Junsheng was greeted by people in the big class room from time to time, and he nodded one by one. When he reached the door, he stopped suddenly. He remembered something. Mulan's family seems to be a military household, right?

Thinking of this, Zhao Junsheng's expression changed, "It can't be such a coincidence, can it?"

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

When Pei Jin heard Zhao Junsheng calling him, he immediately trot over and bent down, "What's your order for joining the army?"

"Go and find a military post!"

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

"Yucheng!"

"Okay, this subordinate will go get it right away!"

As expected, Pei Jin was a person who knew how to handle affairs, so he quickly found a post from the Yucheng Army and sent it to Zhao Junsheng. Zhao Junsheng looked at it with a glance.

When the word Huajiabao appeared on the list of the recruitment order, he felt his heart beating hard. The first name in the first vertical line next to the word Huajiabao was Huahu.

Zhao Junsheng took a deep breath, collected himself, turned his head and asked: "Pei Jin, you have been in the yamen for a long time, and you know a lot. I would like to ask you, if there is a military household with only an elderly father and a young man The youngest son who is an adult can no longer fight, how will the government deal with this situation?"

Pei Jin said: "Of course the old father will go. If you can't fight, you can be a cook, a groom, or escort food and supplies. It's just a garrison, and it's not the main military force of the imperial court. Someone must do these chores!"

Zhao Junsheng asked: "If there is a daughter, can the daughter join the army instead of the father?"

Pei Jin laughed dryly: "Joining the army is a joke. How can a woman join the army? This is a taboo thing. If the general of the army finds out, it is in danger of beheading! Think about it, there are some beasts in the army. If you find out that there are women in the army, what's the deal?"

Zhao Junsheng's heart fell to the bottom, he thought for a while and asked: "Can a son-in-law join the army instead of his father-in-law?"

Pei Jin was taken aback for a moment, "This... this subordinate has never heard of such a thing, it should be possible, after all, the son-in-law is also half!"

Zhao Junsheng nodded, and patted Pei Jin on the shoulder: "Okay, I know!"

Leading the horse from the government office to the street, Zhao Jun heaved a sigh of relief, Liang Yi followed beside him and asked, "Master, what's the matter with you?"

Zhao Junsheng shook his head and said, "It's okay! Young Master, I'm going to Huajiabao. It's almost dark, and it's not convenient to take you with you. You should go back first!"

"That won't work, I am 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: "Alright then, let's hurry up and get to Huajiabao for dinner earlier!"

"Ok!"

After leaving the city, the two of them rode their horses halfway and it was completely dark, so they could only continue to move forward. When they arrived at Huajiabao, it was already halfway through the hour, and they stood under the gate of the fort and shouted for a long time before the gate was opened.

The two were led by Baoding to the courtyard of the Hua family. Someone had already reported to the Hua family that the whole family had already got up and waited at home, and the main room was lit with lights.

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

"Go in and talk!" Zhao Junsheng walked into the main room as he spoke.

When he came to Hua Hu, he cupped his hands and said, "My nephew pays homage to Uncle and Aunt Hua!"

"Take a seat quickly, Junsheng, what are you doing here so late? I'm not afraid of encountering bad guys on this dark road, so don't do it next time!" Hua Hu couldn't help it.

Preach a few words.

"Yes, yes, the emperor issued an edict to recruit retired officers and soldiers, and all sent out military posts. My nephew just remembered today that Uncle Hua's family is also a military household. Isn't that true?

Are you in a hurry, so I hurried over here! "

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

Zhao Junsheng reached out and touched his head, and said with a smile, "Okay, okay, good boy!"
