Chapter Seventy-One: Huangfu Bailing's Decision

Wujin and Jiutian made an appointment to meet in the bookstore three days later, they broke up, returned to the Huangfu Mansion, it was already past lunchtime, he explained to his sister-in-law, he happened to meet a friend outside, so they had a meal together, but Duoduo secretly told her mother that she was a beautiful aunt, Qi Xinlan immediately understood, she hurriedly smiled and said It doesn't matter, there will be time in the future.

Wu Jin returned to his room, he began to pack his things, he planned to move away, temporarily live in the pawnshop, he had almost nothing, his weapons were hidden in the pawnshop, only packed a few clothes and some miscellaneous items, put them into a small bag, and prepared to leave.

Walking out of the door, he hesitated, although he told his eldest brother, he should still tell his grandfather, leaving quietly like this, not saying it politely, it will break the old man's heart.

In this family, in addition to the eldest brother and the fifth uncle, he still has a little affection for his grandfather, Wujin turned the corner and walked towards the inner house, passing by Huang Fuxu's courtyard, he heard someone talking, "Big brother, do you think my leg can still be restored to its original state?" ”

"It should be possible, the doctor also said, as long as you walk more, you can get back to your original state."

One is the voice of Huangfu Zhuoyu, and the other voice is very unfamiliar, but Wu Jin guessed that this person should be the grandson of Huangfu of the Donghai Huangfu clan, three years ago, his father spent 80,000 taels of silver to buy him a county lieutenant.

Wu Jin walked through the round door, glanced into the courtyard, and saw Huangfu Zhuoyu was on crutches, limping to practice walking, he had just removed the splint, and he could barely walk a few steps, and next to him stood a man about twenty years old, who looked very much like Huangfu Zhuoyu, but looked more mature and stable than him, with a mustache on his lips, it should be the eldest grandson Huangfu Zhuoqi, he happened to turn his head to look at the door, and Wu Jin happened to make eye contact.

Huangfu Zhuoqi is the county lieutenant of Haiyan County, but unfortunately the case of the emperor's uncle sitting on stolen goods implicated him, he was deposed by the imperial court, and 80,000 taels of silver was lost.

Huangfu Zhuoqi recognized Wujin at a glance, as the eldest grandson, he needs to know all the peers in the family, Wujin is a fool, impressive, Huangfu Zhuoqi did not forget, but at this time his face changed, and a kind of unforgettable hatred was shot in his eyes, it was this former fool who gave the receipt to the prince, and led to the sale of Huangfu Yibiao, ruining his future.

Wu Jin also looked at the Huangfu Crafting Instrument, he knew that there would be such a day, he knew that as soon as the case came out, the official of the Huangfu Cutting Instrument would not be able to do it, but if the Huangfu Yi Table was not overthrown, the Donghai Huangfu Clan would always be his ATM, and he would threaten the survival of the family, the survival of a family and the future of the eldest son, which is more important, Wu Jin knows better than anyone else.

The two didn't speak, and they didn't need to say anything, they both knew it, Wu Jin showed a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, and left, there was no need for him to confront this eldest grandson again.

Walking into the small red building where his grandfather lived, Steward Liu stood at the door and waved his hand to him, and pointed inside, which meant that there were guests inside.

Huang Fuxu saw Wu Jin head-on, and last night, he also gave Wu Jin a glass of wine, thanking him for the last account book, but at this time, his eyes were as cold as ice, and he glanced at Wu Jin coldly, passed by him, and didn't say hello.

Wu Jin stood there with a wry smile on his face, the eldest son who the second uncle had always been proud of was removed from his official position, and he would give himself a good face, that was a strange thing.

"Is it Wujin?" The voice of my grandfather, Huangfu Bailing, came from the house.

"Grandfather, it's me!" He quickly replied respectfully.

"Come in!"

In the room, Huangfu Bailing leaned on the cushion, he looked a little tired, and a conversation with the eldest son made him have to make concessions, he was the patriarch, but also a father, he took out almost all of his personal savings, and filled the gap of 80,000 taels of silver in the capital for the eldest son.

And the position of the patriarch in the future, he has to let the eldest grandson sit, he is very helpless, this is the rule of the family, the position of the patriarch, the eldest son has priority to inherit, unless he makes a major mistake, Huang Fuxu just said convincingly, he has committed a major mistake, so he was deprived of the inheritance of the patriarch, he can accept it, but his son, that is, the eldest grandson, did not make a mistake.......

Huangfu Bailing knew that the rest of the family was a little dissatisfied with his favoritism towards the eldest son, but there was no way, this was his son, and deep down he didn't want the position of patriarch to fall into the hands of his brothers, and it would be difficult to get it back in the future, many times he had to consider his own interests, and he also felt very ashamed of the family in his heart.

He looked at Wu Jin and sat down, with a loving smile on his face, "Wu Jin, I'm also looking for you!" ”

"Grandfather, please!"

"Yesterday afternoon, I went to the Assassin's Mansion and talked to Lord Su, he admired you very much, and has written to the prince to recommend you, Lord Su said, if you think Donghai County is too small, then you can enter Beijing to display your talents, he suggested that you enter Beijing to take the samurai, and then the prince will recommend you as a shadow warrior, Wu Jin, I have this as an opportunity for you, what do you think?"

Wujin pondered for a while, after talking to Su Hanzhen last time, he really felt that it was time to think about his future, the reason why he was reluctant to talk to Su Hanzhen was largely because Su Hanzhen himself was just a assassin, and it was difficult for him to come out, but if it was the crown prince, it would be another matter.

"Grandfather, I don't quite understand what this shadow warrior means?"

Huangfu Bailing smiled slightly and said: "The shadow warrior is actually just a qualification, whether it is a shadow warrior or an ordinary warrior, he has no authority in himself, but after having the qualification of a shadow warrior, he can enter many key departments, such as embroidered clothes and internal guards, and then for example, the prince's six rate mansions, and at least the captain or above, no promotion, this is your reward for your excellent performance in this competition for the head of Hucao, at least your ability is recognized, this opportunity, you have to seize it!" ”

Wujin doesn't like officialdom, and he doesn't like to be controlled by others, although this is indeed an opportunity, but he still has some hesitation in his heart, he needs to think about this matter, Huangfu Bailing saw that Wujin lowered his head and pondered, knowing that he still needed time to think about it, so he didn't say more, and asked him with a smile, "Wujin, do you have anything to do with me?" ”

Wu Jin hurriedly retracted his thoughts, "That's the case, grandfather, I want to move out." ”

Wu Jin was very frank and said his wish directly, before yesterday, the reason why he wanted to move out was not free, and the mansion had to be locked at night, but now, the hostility of Huangfu Xu's father and son to him made him very tired of Huangfu Mansion, and his desire to move out was so strong.

Surprisingly, Huangfu Bailing was not surprised at all, and he did not keep it, he sighed secretly in his heart, he understood Wu Jin's feelings, although Wu Jin made a great contribution to the family, but only a few people knew that in the eyes of most clansmen, he was still just a grandson, far from being compared with the eldest son and eldest grandson.

He offended his eldest grandson, although he was there, others didn't dare to do anything to him, but he couldn't live a relaxed and happy life, okay! Move out without worry.

Huangfu Bailing took out an envelope from the cabinet beside him and handed it to Wu Jin, "This is ten silver tickets of one thousand taels of silver, a total of ten thousand taels, which were temporarily placed here with me last time, and now you take it, if you don't want to be a shadow warrior, then you can also do a good job, let those who look down on you take a look." ”

Wu Jin shook his head, "Thank you grandfather for your kindness, but I don't want it." ”

"I can understand your strong heart."

Huangfu Bailing smiled bitterly, "I didn't want to say it, but since you refuse to accept it, I can only tell you the truth, this money is not mine, my personal savings have been squeezed out by the rebel just now, this money is actually left to you by my father, and I have always kept it on my behalf." ”

"What my father left me?"

Wu Jin was a little stunned, he really didn't expect it, he hesitated, and asked his grandfather again: "Then why don't you give it to the eldest brother?" ”

"Your eldest brother has his things, and your father arranged them before he died, and your eldest brother will be helped in his career and future in the future, and you ..... Your father is afraid that you will be bullied when you grow up, afraid that you will starve, afraid that you will be lonely in the future, so he left you this money and begged me to take good care of you, this is his last request to me, but I am old..... It was not long before I was alive, and I could no longer fulfill my promise to him. ”

Speaking of this, Huangfu Bailing's hands trembled, and his eyes were already red.

Wu Jin silently took the envelope, his eyes were a little sour, although he couldn't remember the father for a long time, but this envelope made him feel his father's last love for his son before he died.

However, he still doesn't want this money, his eldest brother is in the officialdom, and he needs to go up and down, although he also needs funds to start a business, but he believes that with his own ability and brain, he can also open up a world.

He put the envelope on the table again and pushed it back to his grandfather.

"I understand my grandfather's heart, but I am no longer the stupid second I used to be, I already have a pawnshop, and I have other sources of income, so this money, please leave it to my grandfather, he needs it more than me, I will do a career, I will not disappoint my father in the spirit of heaven, nor will I disappoint my grandfather!"

"Nope! No! You listen to me, your eldest brother has his arrangement, it's not that you can think that your father left you only this money, if you don't accept it, he will be uneasy in the spirit of heaven, and your eldest brother will be ashamed of you, I can't explain to your father, what belongs to you, you must accept it, I know you have ambition, but you also have to think about others. ”

Huangfu Bailing pushed the envelope to him again, Wujin pondered for a moment, he finally nodded and accepted it, he really needs this money, grandfather is right, this is the arrangement that his father gave him, he can't live up to his father's deathbed wishes.

He knelt down, kowtowed heavily to his grandfather, then stood up and left the room quickly, Huangfu Bailing looked at his back and left, and couldn't help but cry, why didn't he have such a grandson.....

At this time, he was full of emotion in his heart, but it was full of contradictions, through this competition for the head of Hu Cao, he found that Wu Jin was more shrewd and capable than his eldest brother Wei Ming, and more calm and sophisticated than his eldest brother, it was because Wu Jin was more stupid and dull, so everyone pinned their hopes on Wei Ming, and now it seems that Wu Jin is more suitable for doing big things, so should they reconsider his future?
