Chapter 1605 Discussion
"Mom, Second Brother is coming?" Feng Ao Qian asked curiously. He rarely met with his older brothers because they were busy at the frontline. However, he knew that his mother often mentioned them, so she had some basic knowledge of these two brothers whom he hadn't met in some time.
"Yes, your Second Brother will be here soon." Nan Si Qiao patted Feng Ao Qian's head. "Don't worry, your Second Brother is good."
"I know." Feng Ao Qian pursed his lips.
He had met with Feng Ao Kuai during Feng Ao Si's marriage back then. Even though he didn't spend much time with his second brother, he felt that this second brother of his was quite good.
At the very least, he was willing to play with him.
Nan Si Qiao smiled when she saw Feng Ao Qian's expression. She patted her third son's head.
At this moment, she heard Steward Tong greeted her second son.
"Second Young Master Feng, you're here."
"I'll be staying here during this period of time." Feng Ao Kuai smiled at Steward Tong. "I hope that my presence will not be a bother."
"It's not a bother at all." Steward Tong laughed. After a long period of emptiness in the residence, there were finally more people who come to live here. He felt more relieved and happy than anything.
"That's good." Feng Ao Kuai nodded and walked inside. He paused when he saw his mother and younger brother before smiling brightly. "Mother, this unfilial son is back."
"You know that you have to come back!" Nan Si Qiao tried to rebuke her second son but she found that she really couldn't treat him harshly. She cared too much for her son to scold them. "Come here."
Feng Ao Kuai walked forward and stopped in front of his mother. After he had his growth spurt, his height had reached 1,75 meter. He was already taller than his mother by now.
Nan Si Qiao looked at her second son that had grown up and sighed. "You're now so big."
"I've grown up, Mother," Feng Ao Kuai replied softly.
"Do you eat well?" Nan Si Qiao was the most worried of them facing hardship. But as soldiers, could it be possible for these brats not to face any difficulties?
Still, she wanted to ask.
"Don't worry, I'm doing well, Mother." Feng Ao Kuai tried his best to soothe his mother.
Nan Si Qiao took a deep breath. She glanced at her third son who was staring at them and patted Feng Ao Kuai's shoulder. "Accompany your third brother to play first. We'll talk again later."
"Yes, Mother." Feng Ao Kuai turned to look at Feng Ao Qian and squatted down so that he could see Feng Ao Qian's eyes directly. "Ao Qian, do you want to play with your second brother?"
"What are we going to play, Second Brother?" Feng Ao Qian's interest was instantly piqued.
"How about if we play guessing game?" Feng Ao Kuai asked with a smile.
"Okay!"
Nan Si Qiao watched as the two of them played together. From simple guessing game to kicking shuttlecock. It seemed that Feng Ao Kuai was also talented in playing together with children.
Before long, Feng Ao Qian was tired and sleepy, so Nan Si Qiao ordered the maidservant to bring him back to rest.
"Have you been well, Mother?" Feng Ao Kuai asked.
"You have your people around me, so you should know that I'm doing well." Nan Si Qiao rolled her eyes, too lazy to pretend in front of her second son. With Feng Ao Kuai's intelligence, there was no point in pretending anyway.
Feng Ao Kuai smiled but didn't explain.
Most of the people around his mother was actually his cousin's people. The ones he arranged were only a few.
But he wouldn't tell his mother about this.
"Mother, this time I'm back, I'm going to participate in the Imperial Examination," Feng Ao Kuai stated his plan bluntly.
"Imperial Examination?" Nan Si Qiao's face changed when she heard of Feng Ao Kuai's plan. Looking at her second son's expression, Nan Si Qiao was a bit worried. "But your career in the military is doing well. Is there any need for you to enter the political world?" n--o/-v(/e/-l).b)(1)-n
If Nan Si Qiao had to be honest, she didn't have good impression of the Imperial Court. After hearing what her brother did, her impression had already turned into negative value and couldn't be raised anytime sooner.
So when her second son said that he wanted to participate in the Imperial Examination, Nan Si Qiao felt unwilling.
She didn't want her second son to be part of those dirty worlds.
"Mother, I know that you don't like it, but there are many benefits for entering the court." Feng Ao Kuai looked at his mother and started to explain patiently.
First, he explained about his little antics at the frontline in order to force his older brother to grow up faster.
Second, he also explained that his current position in the military was not as stable as it looked like.
His father is a general, his first brother was also aiming to become a general.
His method had already irked many people who didn't like his steady personality and scheming methods. Many had spread strange rumors about him after they saw him after torturing the prisoners to gain information.
"The military world has its own scheming. It's just that the methods are a bit different from the political world." Feng Ao Kuai looked at his mother. "I have other things that I need to do within a few years, Mother. For this, I need to enter the court and gain position there."
Nan Si Qiao listened to her second son explaining and sighed deeply.
She knew that what Feng Ao Kuai said was right.
But she still couldn't feel comfortable.
"Alright, but you have to be careful." Nan Si Qiao looked at her second son. "If things turn for the worst, you should stay in the military obediently."
"I know, Mother." Feng Ao Kuai smiled.
