Was He Lin really as reckless and stupid as he appeared? Naturally not.

After seven years of conquest in Northern Xinjiang, reckless people could not survive on the battlefield, and it was even more impossible for stupid people to get mixed up in the Dingbei Army. Therefore, what he did just now was actually deliberate.

Although the rumors of He Zhikefu have spread all over the capital, to be honest, in the eyes of those in the Dingbei Army who crawled out of the pile of dead people, this is really nothing extraordinary. It's like Wei said, their lives are hard, and they can escape nine deaths on the battlefield, how can they be frightened by those rumors? Therefore, He Lin prevented Wei Lai from having a deep friendship with He Zhi, and Nakefu's rumors actually only occupied a very small factor.

Unlike Wei Lai, who was born poor and relied purely on military exploits to achieve today's status, He Lin was actually born in an official eunuch family. Although the people in his family are not in high positions, he also knows everything that should be known in the officialdom and court. At the same time, he could naturally see that a person of Wei Lai's temperament was really not suitable for dealing with those old foxes in the court.

He Zhi's father is a secretary of the ministry, not to mention that he has a high and powerful position, just because he has been able to sit in this position for many years, he can also know that this person is not a good person. If Wei Lai really climbed to the He family, I am afraid that the future will not be easy.

What's more, there is a Marshal Wei standing behind Wei Lai, and she herself is a person who has no intention of court, and she doesn't need He Shangshu's help, so it is better not to do such a loss-making transaction.

On the way back to the camp, He Lin looked like he was giggling as usual, seeing Wei Lai sullen, he deliberately went up and laughed twice: "Ouch, Xiao Wei, are you really angry?" Didn't you really fall in love with that Miss He, blame me for ruining your good deeds? ”

Wei Lai was a little embarrassed when he heard this, Junxiu's face turned red, but he glared at He Lin angrily: "You know that I didn't mean that, what are you doing with those words?" If you are a good girl, you can't keep a little morality. I originally wanted to explain, but it was useless to say anything because of your trouble. ”

He Lin shrugged his shoulders and looked disapproving: "It's useless, it's useless, anyway, you don't want to marry her as a daughter-in-law, and you may not have a chance to see her again in the future." If she's not happy, it's not happy, what's the matter. ”

Wei Lai is different from people like He Lin in the end, not to mention that she has also experienced those gossips, just by virtue of her identity as a woman, she will be more considerate of He Zhi. Kefu's reputation is not easy to bear, but He Zhi has carried this reputation for more than a year or two, during which she has encountered cold eyes and ridicule, and she knows it without thinking about it, so why should they pour salt on people's wounds again?

I really feel depressed when I think about it, and I feel that it doesn't make sense with someone like He Lin. Seeing that the military camp was approaching, Wei Lai glared at He Lin angrily, and he didn't bother to talk nonsense with him, and strode back to the camp.

He Lin pursed his lips helplessly, quite a bit like Wei Lai didn't know the hearts of good people, but he didn't mean to explain. A few people who acted as background boards all the way to the side looked at Wei Lai and He Lin, all with inexplicable faces.

*****************************************************************

Since Mrs. He and He Shangshu mentioned the matter of signing and Wei Lai, He Shangshu really cares. As a secretary of the ministry, it was easy for him to investigate an official in the DPRK and China, and within two days, he investigated Wei Lai's background and experience over the years. As for Wei Lai's character and personality, he also asked someone, and the reviews of all parties were good, so he was a little more satisfied.

In the afternoon of this day, He Shangshu returned home early from the yamen of the Ministry of Officials. There is not much government affairs today, and he also wants to take the opportunity to deal with the affairs of his family, so he plans to talk about Wei Lai's affairs to his wife. After all, her daughter's age is not young, if it is suitable, she should also contact Wei Lai and set the marriage.

When He Shangshu returned home, Mrs. He had just gotten up from a nap, and she was lazily flipping through the account book that the housekeeper had just delivered. Suddenly, seeing He Shangshu coming back, he got up and greeted him, and he was also very surprised: "Why did the master come back so early?!" ”

He Shangshu stepped into the house, and then took off a heavy official robe under the service of Mrs. He, and changed into a light regular clothes: "There is nothing to do in the court today, so I will come back early." By the way, as you told me a few days ago, I have already asked people to check Wei Lai of the Dingbei Army, and the wind review is good. ”

This was originally a seal, He Shangshu was about to have a good chat with Mrs. He about this Wei Lai, but who knew that Mrs. He's face suddenly sank. He Shangshu, who had just picked up the teacup and was about to take a sip of tea, was also stunned when he saw this, and subconsciously asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Speaking of Wei Lai, Mrs. He seemed a little unhappy, and said, "That Wei Lai, I think it's better to forget it." After speaking, seeing He Shangshu looking at her with tea, it seemed that she was going to tell her why, so she had to continue: "Two days ago, I asked Uncle He to also check, she was originally a member of the Dingbei Army, and she couldn't find anything when she returned to Beijing. However, Uncle He found out that on the day Zhi'er met her at Jingming Lake, it was a group of people from their Dingbei Army on Jingming Lake...... Recruit prostitutes on that Jingming Lake! With such a person, how can I rest assured that Zhi'er will marry her?! ”

He Shangshu was also stunned when he heard this, but what he heard was that Wei Lai was clean and had never had any bad rumors. But then again, Wei Lai is twenty-three years old, and now he has not yet married, He Shangshu feels that even if things are really what Mrs. said, it is understandable. As long as her character is not bad, it's a big deal to let her daughter adjust and teach her well in the future.

Seeing that He Shangshu didn't care, Mrs. He was a little annoyed, but she also knew that it would be difficult to persuade He Shangshu to change his mind with this point. This is the difference between men and women, these things that women care about, in the eyes of men, are not a big deal, even if they are viewed by the standards of a future son-in-law, it is not an intolerable fault to be romantic.

Sure enough, He Shangshu calmly took a sip of the tea, and said lightly: "This is just a small section, and it's not a big deal for a man to be romantic." Wei Lai's character is thick, his personality is kind, and his ability is good, which is quite valued by Wei Yan, the marshal of the Dingbei Army. The population of the family is also simple, only one mother is still in her hometown, if Zhi'er marries, life will be easy. ”

If you ignore the point of "romance", Mrs. He will probably think that Wei Lai is a good candidate after listening to He Shangshu's evaluation. But she had a thorn in her heart first, even if He Shangshu praised Wei Lai as a flower at this time, she couldn't like it, and there was always a feeling like a fish in her throat.

It's just that He Shangshu is in charge of the major events in this family, if he really likes Wei Lai, then even if Mrs. He is not happy, there is no room for refutation. I was in a hurry, but I heard the maid outside report that the young lady was here.

Thinking that her daughter has always had an idea, Mrs. He was suddenly overjoyed and busy: "Invite Miss in." ”

He Zhi went out on a trip, although the process was a little unpleasant, but when she came back, she didn't forget to buy her mother's favorite lotus incense cakes. Who knew that when he sent it, he saw that his father was also there, so he bowed and smiled: "Why did Daddy come back so early today?" ”

He Shangshu has always been fond of this well-behaved and sensible daughter, and Yan Sù's face has always softened a lot, and he smiled when he heard this: "I came back earlier today, I have something to discuss with your mother." What, just came back from a home? ”

didn't ask what was going on, He Zhi just nodded and smiled when she heard this: "Yuqing is back and asked her daughter to go out." No, when I came back, I bought some pastries from Hexiangzhai, which I sent to my father and mother to taste. Saying that, he tilted his head slightly, and Xi Qiu also handed the pastry in his hand to the maid standing on the side, and she went to put it on the plate and then served it.

Seeing that He Shangshu didn't seem to be planning to mention Wei Lai's matter, Mrs. He was even more anxious, and after thinking about it, she said to her daughter: "Zhi'er, your father has shown you another person...... Mother wants to ask what you mean. ”

This topic came too suddenly, and Rao is He Zhi was calm, and he couldn't help but be stunned. For some reason, she remembered the signature of Lingquan Temple that day, and the image that flashed in her mind when her mother asked later. Pursing her lips slightly, He Zhi asked, "Who is it?" ”

When Mrs. He spoke, He Shangshu glanced at her out of the corner of her eye, but she didn't stop it after all. When he heard this, he took the initiative to speak: "He is a junior general in the Dingbei Army, named Wei Lai, and his character is good. ”

Wei Lai? It's really Wei Lai! He Zhi's heart couldn't help but move slightly, a little suddenly, and a little unspeakable, and she was stunned for a while.

"Master, this person is not good. Today, I also sarcastically mocked Miss Kefu, but I can't let her be an aunt for Miss. It was Xi Qiu who spoke, and she was obviously still angry about He Lin's previous words, so that the innocent Wei Lai was also implicated.

Kefu's matter can almost be regarded as a knot for the people of the He family. When He Shangshu heard this, his face suddenly sank, and his impression of Wei Lai in his heart suddenly fell from good to negative.

As soon as He Zhi looked up, she saw her father's ugly face, and she didn't know what to think, so she opened her mouth to explain for Wei Lai: "Dad, don't be angry, it's just a misunderstanding, and that's not what she said." ”

Mrs. He didn't care about this, she was not pleasing to Wei Lai, and Xi Qiu's words added fuel to the fire. Seeing that her husband had taken a turn for the better, her daughter was still entangled here, and hurriedly opened her mouth to smear and said, "Zhi'er, don't be fooled." That kid is not a good person, he was looking for those indiscriminate women with people in Jingming Lake that day. ”

In fact, after the words of explanation were exported, He Zhi felt a little inexplicable, but since she had already explained it once, she simply said a few more words, and said helplessly at the moment: "Mother, she has never entered the cabin that day." ”。
