I am a soldier in the border army

Chapter 611: Loving your son may not mean you are a bad man
It is said that 'the bond between father and son is strong enough to cut through metal'.

In this hall, the father was righteous and the son was in tears, and they finally managed to get past this embarrassing and angry situation.

This is not to say that the acting skills of this father and son are so superb that they can fool everyone.

In the final analysis, it is probably just pretending to be ignorant even though they know everything but don't say it out loud.

What else can be done?
Disregarding the relationship between husband and wife and making a big scene?
What use would such a result be other than making a fool of oneself in front of others and even causing turmoil in one's own business?
With a sigh in their hearts, Gongsun Xinyi and Jiang Wan looked at each other, and both saw a hint of helplessness in each other's eyes.

But after so many years, they have finally let it go.

As long as the person is still with them and his heart is with them, and he occasionally brings some wild food home, then let him be.

What's more, this bastard husband of mine always thinks ten steps ahead and acts very steadily.

These "wild foods" cannot be taken home casually.

There are certain secrets about the master and servant pair of Yu and Bai that they have not been able to fully uncover until now.

The reason why Chen was accepted into the mansion was to appease the noble families of Youbei so that they could concentrate their efforts to deal with the huge pressure from Shi Bi.

Not to mention the later Shangguan family.

There is no need to say much about what kind of person his father Shangguan Ding is.

As for the Tushan clan, on the surface they were used as bargaining chips in the transaction between Qingqiu and Tushan in exchange for Qingqiu and Tushan's living space.

But in fact, the arrival of Qingqiu Tushan did alleviate the embarrassing situation of Han Shao's lack of strong men under his command to a great extent.

The remaining two barbarian girls, Chileuna and Bolbutai, are relatively simple.

It was purely to give a reassurance to the army on the westward expedition from the grassland, and its symbolic significance was greater than its practical significance.

After that it was Karasuma and Miyabi.

Behind this woman is the holy mountain, as well as the uninvited Buddhist temple that came later.

……

The two women calculated Han Shao's bills one by one.

Gradually, I actually began to agree with Han Kun's pretentious words.

"His father's journey has indeed been... not easy..."

The world is in chaos, and all kinds of forces are like a tangled mess, gathered together.

This can be seen just in their small inner house.

With emotion in their hearts, the two girls finally looked at Meng Zi and said lightly.

"In that case, you can stay in the guest house first."

Meng Zi, who had been staring at Han Shao, immediately showed dissatisfaction when he heard this.

Guest Garden! ?
I am here to be the host, why should I live in a guest house!
But before she could open her mouth, Jiang Wan had already spoken.

"Since the Mohist School has made great contributions to your husband, some things cannot be done carelessly. You should at least inform the master and your father and consider their reputation."

Meng Zi's status is no less than that of a legitimate daughter of a noble family.

With such an identity, she could become a concubine, and she would be the most noble concubine among all the noble concubines.

If we act recklessly and cause dissatisfaction among the Mohists, turning a good thing into a bad thing, the result will be more harm than good.

After hearing this, Meng Zi finally realized, "Does this mean... that I am allowed to join the sect?"

Immediately, a look of joy appeared on his face.

"My concubine Meng, thank you, sister..."

At this time, Gongsun Xinyi poured a basin of cold water on her with a cold face.

"Don't thank me yet. I don't care how noble you are, but since you want to marry into my Han family, you should restrain your temper and abide by the rules of the family."

"If you violate a taboo, your husband may tolerate you, but the family rules will not tolerate you."

"You should know this. Don't say I didn't warn you."

Although Gongsun Xinyi's words were meant to be a bad guy, they were also what she really meant.

She was indeed very dissatisfied with the woman's temper.

But Meng Zi didn't take it to heart.

Now as long as I can get her started, I'll let her do anything.

So he quickly put on an expression of being taught a lesson and nodded in agreement.

"Sister, I, Meng, will remember your teachings."

Seeing this, Gongsun Xinyi and Jiang Wan nodded without comment and said.

"In that case, let's do this today."

After saying this, the two of them wanted to take Han Kun over to talk to him in the capacity of a stepmother to show their closeness.

But when he looked up, he saw that Karasuma had hidden it behind his back without leaving a trace, looking cautious as if he was guarding against thieves, and he immediately lost interest.

"Forget it. After all, it didn't come out of my belly, and I didn't raise it since it was a child. I don't think I can get close to it..."

So he gave the order directly.

"Take Madam Heya and Shaojun down to settle down, and the others can also disperse."

Seeing them being so easy to talk to, Karasuma and Miyabi, who had been tense all the time, were obviously relieved.

Not only did he have no objection to this arrangement, he also thanked her with gratitude.

……

Evening family dinner.

It is both a welcome to the newcomers and a welcome dinner.

It is normal and reasonable to have a richer meal.

There is nothing else to say, the only thing worth mentioning is the seating arrangement at the table.

The two mistresses of the household, Gongsun Xinyi and Jiang Wan, sat on the main seats, one on the left and one on the right.

The elderly on both sides of the family have already developed habits and routines.

However, this made it a bit awkward for Wuhuan Heya and Mengzi, whose relationship had not yet been truly established.

Whether you sit in the front or the back is secondary; the main issue is which side you sit on.

Meng Zi was fine. She was used to dealing with formations, mechanisms and magic, so she didn't have so many twists and turns in her mind. She just found an empty seat and sat down.

Karasuma and Masaru were in a state of hesitation for a moment.

But just as she caught a glimpse of Chilewuna and Bolbutai, two poor little fellows of the same tribe, huddled in a corner and was about to huddle with them for warmth, she was stopped by a voice from above.

"Come and sit with peace."

Wuhuan Heya was stunned, and then he realized that there was a separate seat under the first seat.

In the spotlight, the target of public criticism...

For a moment, all kinds of words flashed through the mind of Karasuma Heya, who felt like a thorn in the back.

Until the youngest son beside her reminded with a smile, "Mother, mother is calling us over."

Karasuma and Ya had no choice but to bite the bullet and walk stiffly with Han Kun to the front of the crowd and sit down.

As expected, many of the stunningly beautiful women present had unhappy expressions on their faces.

At this time, Gongsun Xinyi, who was used to playing the villain, said.

"A mother is honored by her son. He Ya is a hero in our family. If you are not convinced, you should fight for it yourself."

As soon as these words were spoken, all the 'hens' that couldn't lay eggs fell silent.

During this process, Han Shao acted like a wooden man from beginning to end and did not say a word.

There is no other way. As the family business grows and the number of people increases, there must be rules.

Outside, he is the biggest.

Inside, the absolute authority of Gongsun Xinyi and Jiang Wan must be maintained.

Otherwise, there will only be chaos and confusion.

……

After a family dinner that was not very lively and did not contain much warmth and affection.

Han Shao ignored the looks that seemed to want to eat him alive and spoke gently to Gongsun Xinyi and Jiang Wan.

"They and their son just arrived. I will go to Heya's villa tonight."

Gongsun Xinyi and Jiang Wan were understanding about this.

"That's how it should be."

Upon hearing this, Han Shao shook their hands, one on each side, conveying a bit of tacit understanding between husband and wife.

Then he took Karasuma and Miyabi and left directly.

……

Although Karasuma Kazuya arrived late, the location of her villa was definitely not too remote.

Obviously, this was left for her deliberately by Gongsun Xinyi and Jiang Wan.

Karasuma and Miyabi felt this meticulousness and were more and more grateful to the two men, and the original vigilance and tension in their hearts gradually relaxed a lot.

"You two sisters are so nice."

Han Shao smiled noncommittally, then nodded in agreement.

"really."

People have double standards.

Different positions lead to very different perceptions of each person.

Perhaps in the eyes of others, Gongsun Xinyi and Jiang Wan have many faults. One is arrogant and always looks down on others, while the other is deep-minded and even a little bit vicious. But for Han Shao, they are the best women in the world.

Because they are the first wives who have truly accompanied him all the way from humble beginnings and have given him everything.

A wife who has shared her hardships with you is like this, eating only the dregs and bran.

While talking to Wuhuan Heya, Han Shao suddenly rubbed Han Kun's little head beside him and said with a smile.

"Ping An, you should respect your two mothers and don't neglect them."

Although he said this to Han Kun, Wu Wanhe Ya on the side seemed to realize something and quickly responded on Han Kun's behalf.

"Don't worry, my dear, Ping'an knows everything."

What a clever woman.

In this way, he felt relieved.

A thought flashed through his mind, and Han Shao looked at Wu Wan and Ya again and smiled with satisfaction.

"I am relieved. He Ya has taught Ping An very well and brilliantly over the years, and her contribution is invaluable."

Gongsun Xinyi and Jiang Wan told him about Han Kun's performance when he returned home today.

Responsible, courageous, sharp-minded and decisive.

As a father, I couldn't be more satisfied to have a son like this.

In response to Han Shao's praise, Wuhuan Heya felt a little embarrassed.

"It's all... it's all because of your outstanding bloodline. I dare not take credit for it..."

Han Shao was stunned when he heard this, then he laughed.

"Indeed."

Han Kun, who was standing aside, couldn't help but roll his eyes in disgust when he saw his father and mother using him as an example to flatter each other.

"My mother, she seems to have lost her soul in front of my father. She doesn't look very smart at first glance..."

Just when he was planning to slip away and take a good look around his new home, he was stopped by Han Shao.

"Don't worry, I'll take you for a walk for your father later."

He said this with some emotion and guilt.

"Speaking of which, we haven't seen each other for a long time..."

This is the real reason why Han Shao stayed in Wuhuan and Yabieyuan tonight.

There is no need to rush into developing feelings between husband and wife.

But children are still growing up. Once you miss the critical moment, it will be extremely difficult to make up for the impact in the future.

As this was the first bloodline of his life in this world, Han Shao couldn't possibly not care.

……

Perhaps the father and son do not have many opportunities to meet, and every time they meet they are always in a hurry.

Han Kun was obviously not used to being alone with his father.

At this moment, seeing Han Shao leading him through the corridors, he seemed a little nervous.

"Father, where are we going?"

Han Shao was helpless.

"Can your father sell you out?"

"That's not necessarily true..."

Han Kun was muttering to himself when he suddenly felt a pain on his forehead.

"What are you thinking about!"

As he spoke, seeing Han Kun holding his head in pain, Han Shao, who was used to seeing life and death, felt a little distressed.

Did you use too much force?
"That's all. A man who loves his children doesn't necessarily mean he is a bad man."

After hesitating for a while, Han Shao stopped and finally couldn't help but use his magic power to heal his wounds.

"Does it hurt?"

Perhaps because he had never seen his father so nervous, Han Kun was a little stunned.

At this time, Han Shao sighed.

"Over the years, I have not been able to be with you all the time. I owe you and your son a lot. It is my fault."

"Besides, I am also the first father in my past and present lives. If there is anything I did wrong, you can tell me."

"You and I are father and son, and we are of the same blood. You are the closest person to me in this world, so in front of me, Ping An does not need to have any taboos."

Han Shao has said so many true and false words in his life that sometimes he can't even tell whether they are true or false.

Only at this moment he was very sure that the words he blurted out were not hypocritical.

Han Kun was overwhelmed by these sincere words, even though he had harbored so much dissatisfaction and even resentment towards his father for so many years.

At this moment he still felt a great sense of grievance, and then tried hard to control himself not to shed tears and embarrass himself in front of his father.

Damn!

Does my father treat me as someone who is as easy to please as those mothers and aunts?

Seeing this little fellow stiffening his neck and refusing to look him in the face with a stubborn look, Han Shao found it somewhat funny, yet also felt very distressed.

I hugged him tightly and was about to say something, but I found that the boy who looked like he would rather die than surrender a moment ago, suddenly burst into tears in my arms.

"Father, I'm so afraid that you won't want me anymore—"

Well, no matter how gifted, thoughtful, and wise you are, you are far beyond your peers...

Still just a child.

After repeatedly assuring that she would not abandon him, Han Shao finally managed to coax him into submission. He could not help but feel that coaxing a child was even more tiring than fighting a desperate battle with several Taiyi.

Seeing that the boy was clinging to his clothes and refused to let go, Han Shao had no choice but to hold him and walk slowly forward, letting him absorb the fatherly love that he had once lacked.

This look inevitably aroused shock and astonishment in the eyes of those who were watching along the way in the mansion, some openly and some secretly.

Han Shao didn't care at first, but when he caught a glimpse of the little guy in his arms with his mouth slightly raised, he realized the little guy's "sinister" intentions.

“As expected of you, you are my offspring…”

Han Shao sighed in his heart, feeling a bit amused and helpless.

However, he did not point it out directly, allowing the little guy to take advantage of his father's power and secretly feel proud of himself.

……

"This is my father's study. Even your mother and the others cannot enter without my permission."

When they were alone, the boy nimbly jumped off Han Shao.

After hearing Han Shao's words, her face was startled.

"Then why can I come?"

Han Shao rubbed his head.

"Because you are the continuation of my father, I will need you to help me share many things in the future."

you?

Han Kun keenly caught a hint of something unusual in his father's words.

And Han Shao did not hide it.

"You have a younger brother outside, his name is Chang'an, but your father cannot bring him back now."

Having said that, Han Shao paused and then sighed.

"Although you and your father have had few opportunities to meet over the years, he has yet to meet his father."

Unless you are willing to throw everything aside and act recklessly.

No matter how strong you are, you will still experience dissatisfaction and unhappiness.

To proceed step by step cautiously means that you will inevitably have to endure a certain period of frustration.

"Ping An, your father may not be as strong and majestic as you think..."

'So don't be reckless, learn to be respectful.'

This was the first lesson Han Shao taught his eldest son.

After that, Han Shao took him aside again, and the father and son sat together at the desk where they usually handled official business.

Han Shao said as he casually flipped through a pile of official documents on his desk.

"Over the years, all decisions on matters in the thousands of miles or even tens of thousands of miles of grassland in Youbei have been made here, in this small and simple study."

“Do you think… this is a lot of power?”

It is said that power is the most powerful aphrodisiac for men in the world.

Although Han Ping'an was still young, his face flushed slightly at his father's words, and his eyes revealed an instinctive excitement.

At this time, Han Shao closed the document and handed it to him.

"But what your father wants to tell you is that power and responsibility are equal, and they need to be supported by strength, otherwise... there will be backlash..."

As he finished speaking, Han Kun felt the thin, ordinary document in his hand getting hotter and heavier, until it fell heavily on the desk in front of him like a mountain.

At this time, his little hands were already burned red, as if they had been ironed by an iron.

And this was the second lesson Han Shao taught him.
