Chapter 79: Visiting Wang Ziteng

On the second day, Jia Lian went directly to the Wang family to visit Wang Ziteng.

Wang Ziteng met the emperor yesterday and knew that Jia Lian would patrol the border with him during this trip, so he was not surprised at all by Jia Lian's visit.

"I already know about the fact that you beat Prince Duan. Since he was rude first, we just beat him. It's no big deal. Even if he has any dissatisfaction with Prince Duan, we will do it." Don't be afraid of him."

Wang Ziteng met Jia Lian in the hall. After a few simple greetings, he spoke in a very relaxed tone. It seemed that in his eyes, the palace was just like an ordinary mansion. No difference.

Jia Lian is not surprised. People who hold military power have different confidence.

He was about to stand up to thank him, but when he saw Wang Ziteng flexing his hands, he just sat down and thanked him.

Prince Teng added: "Your Majesty has told me his arrangements for you. The ministry should send the letter of appointment to you in less than two days. I will send someone by then. I will take you to the camp to familiarize yourself with military affairs. In the remaining time, you must arrange your family affairs as soon as possible.

The time we leave Beijing is roughly after the New Year. I am afraid that this year you will There is no end to it. In addition, once you go on this trip, you will not be able to come back overnight. The bitter cold in the border areas is definitely not comparable to the comfort in Beijing. You must be mentally prepared for these."

As soon as he heard what Wang Ziteng said, Jia Lian knew that Wang Ziteng didn't trust him, so he gave him a vaccination in advance. It is estimated that he was afraid that his poor performance in the army would make the officers look down on him, and even affect his reputation.

So he stood up directly, cupped his hands and said: "Uncle, please don't worry, since I have decided to go on this trip, I am already prepared to face difficulties. My nephew has said it first, if there is any slack in this trip I was lazy and violated military discipline. Please uncle, please don't care about the relationship between uncle and nephew, just deal with it according to military regulations and disciplines. Otherwise, it is a small matter for me to live up to the sacred mandate. If it damages my uncle's reputation, my nephew will be punished and deserve to die!"

Seeing Jia Lian speaking so solemnly, Wang Ziteng showed an unexpected expression.

“If you can say such things, I have nothing to worry about.

But you don’t have to be too nervous. Our main task on this trip is Investigating the movements of the Tatar tribes and inspecting the border fortifications, there may not be any war. In addition, your great-grandfather and grandfather both have very high status in the army. If you join the army as you, the army will Most of the soldiers will treat you with some courtesy.

I think His Majesty’s intention is to throw you into the army to gain some experience. This is a rare opportunity for you.

So as long as you can tolerate the environmentDamn it, not only is this trip not difficult for you, but it will also be the starting point of your career. If you have perseverance, you may inherit the glory of your ancestors in the future. ”

As the person with the highest official position in the four major families, Wang Ziteng has a general understanding of the children of several families.

Therefore, for the emperor’s arrangement of Jia Lian He didn't pay much attention to joining his army at first, but he planned to train him if he could, and if he couldn't train him, he would send him back to the capital as soon as possible.

Now he could actually say this With insight, I finally believed in the correctness of the emperor's arrangement, and my words were more sincere.

"My nephew does not dare to hope for the restoration of the glory of his ancestors. My uncle can help me, and secondly, I don't want to embarrass my uncle or my ancestors. That's enough for Yu Yuan. ”

Jia Lian said seriously.

Wang Ziteng laughed, nodded, and explained in detail some matters that need to be paid attention to when marching to manage the transportation of grain and grass. Although Jia Lian did not You understand very well, but you listened carefully without any hint of impatience or flinching. I was finally a little satisfied.

"You have never had the experience of marching, and I can't teach you everything in a short while. When you are in the army, as long as you are willing to study hard, you will understand these things sooner or later. Well, I still have some other things to deal with. You can go and see your aunt. There is no need to come back to ask for leave later. ”

After arranging for the butler to send Jia Lian in for an audience, Wang Ziteng sat in the hall and thought deeply.

It was a disgrace that all the four once-famous families were gone. Facts that are not acknowledged.

Although he is still at the center of power, the upper limit of military attachés is really inferior to that of civilian officials. For example, he has almost reached the point of no progress.< br />
If he can still barely support the four major families, then the next generation will be the real crisis.

According to him, although the four families have many children , but at present, it seems that there is not a single one that is successful!

If this continues, I am afraid that in less than twenty or thirty years, the title of the Four Great Families will become an inconspicuous thing in history. The clouds and smoke dissipated without leaving a trace.

Therefore, the four major families need a future helmsman, Wang Ziteng, and he also needs arms that can support each other.
< br />From the current point of view, Jia Lian basically meets the external conditions for this candidate.

The eldest son and grandson of Duke Rongguo, and the future heir to the hereditary title of Rongguo Mansion.

And Jia Lian was able to beat the prince angrily yesterday in order to protect the dignity of his biological father. Apart from anything else, this bloody spirit can only be praised, which also made him feel unhappy.I began to believe that maybe it was possible for Jia Lian to restore the glory of his ancestors.

Even if it is only possible, it is enough for him to try cultivation.

…

Rongguo Mansion, Fengjie Courtyard, on the Kang in the West Room.

Wang Xifeng took out a folded prescription from his arms and handed it to Ping'er.

Ping'er took it and took a look, his expression couldn't help but pause, but he didn't say anything, he just nodded and took the recipe.

Wang Xifeng said: "Don't blame me, I am doing this for the sake of both of us.

No matter how good the sisters are, they will always have disputes for the interests of their children. Turning against each other.

You have been with me for so many years, although I have not said it explicitly, I already treat you as my biological sister, otherwise I would not let you follow your second master. I am very I cherish the friendship between the two of us, and don’t want to ruin the friendship between the two of us since childhood due to some incident in the future.

Wait until I give birth to a child, and if it is really a person who can inherit the family business, then Of course I won't ask you to eat this again. Do you understand my painstaking efforts?"

When Ping'er heard what Wang Xifeng said, she burst into tears and knelt down on the spot and said, "Grandma's wishes are mine. I understand. I have kept all the good things my grandma has done to me over the years in my heart, and I want to spend my whole life repaying her. Even if grandma didn't say anything, Ping'er wouldn't dare to argue with her. Ping'er dares to swear to God. , if you have any second thoughts, please tell me to die badly..."

Wang Xifeng immediately leaned over and picked up Ping'er, and said with a smile: "Look at you, why are you crying when you are fine? Wait a minute I asked your second master to come back and see you, and you thought I was bullying you.

And what you swore to me, you know I don’t believe that.

But I know that you are a good person, and I also know that you will understand my painstaking efforts, so I told you directly and frankly. Not only do you doubt me and hate me, but we can also say that reason is reason and the law is the law. , From now on, we should be closer, and don’t let those things affect the friendship between our sisters."

Ping'er stood up, wiped his tears, and nodded in agreement. Down.

"Well, you don't have to follow me today. You can ask someone to get the medicine yourself, just drink it after a bowl, and I won't care about you.

I don’t know what’s going on with your second master now, he’s become more shrewd and domineering, and he’s controlling me.

How does he understand the truth? If he knew, I’m afraid he’d say I’m evil-hearted again. So if it’s for my own good, just keep it quiet and don’t let him know.

Okay, you can go on your own.”

Wang Xifeng smiled and said, after seeing Ping'er, she also sat quietly, and then Fang murmured: "I hope you can really understand my painstaking efforts, I really want you to follow me all the time. of...”
