Chapter 491: Leng Feng's Disease
Meng Yan stayed in the Wild Wolf Valley training base for a total of three days, and the first two days were mainly to preside over the first stage of the assessment of recruits and eliminate one person.
Although the elimination is very cruel, there is no way to do it, and once the rules of the game are formulated, as a formulator, you also need to abide by them.
Breaking the rules at will is also difficult to convince the public.
Originally, Meng Yan planned to come across the board and eliminate all the people whose points were deducted below the passing grade, but the result surprised him, if he did this, half of the people would be brushed off by him in the first stage.
There are too many people, so I can only modify the rules and brush off the people who deduct less than 50 points, and this brush is also a lot, and a full 147 people have been eliminated!
These 147 people are not directly returned, but there are two choices, one is to continue to stay and participate in training, to be selected or assigned after the end of the training camp, and the second is to choose to quit, once they quit, there will be no chance to join Jinyiwei in the future.
Obviously, none of the people who were eliminated in the first stage chose to leave in the end, not only because of the treatment of joining Jinyiwei and the glory of their ancestors, but also because of these thousands of selected people, which one of them did not have a sense of arrogance.
I was eliminated like this, I brushed it down, how can I see my parents and family when I go back?
Also, if you stay, even if you can't enter the Jinyiwei Inspection Division, you can go to other departments of Jinyiwei, and the salary is lower, and you may not have the opportunity to get ahead.
Fools choose to quit directly!
On the third day, Meng Yan guided the training of recruits during the day, and at night he also summoned Tang Xiao and others to formulate the next stage of training plans, and was busy until late at night.
This is the first part of the self-built trilogy, and there are some things that you have to do yourself.
"Then, this is one hundred taels of silver, and the official is willing to gamble and lose." Meng Yan took out a silver ticket of one hundred taels of silver and put it in front of Guo Xiaochao.
"Thank you, little super!" Guo Xiaochao reached out and took it. Put it away.
"Wait a minute?"
"Is there anything else your lordship does?"
"Brother Xiaochao, are you short of money to spend?" Meng Yan asked, according to his understanding of Guo Xiaochao, he does not prostitute or gamble, and does not have any bad habits.
"No, I'm not short of money?"
"Then why are you ......?"
"Oh. The adult is talking about betting, in fact, it's nothing, it's not that the adult is going to get married, I'm going to prepare a congratulatory gift for my subordinates, but when I came out of the Guo family, I didn't bring much money, so I thought of such a way. ”
"Isn't my father-in-law too picky, you have worked in the Guo family for so many years, and you have no credit and hard work. came out, and didn't even have a copy of Cheng Yi? Meng Yan's expression became strange.
Guo Xiaochao's face was embarrassed, he was the housekeeper of the Guo Mansion, and it could be said that he was in charge of most of the family, that is, the usual silver of the young lady was sent by him, and Guo Nu never asked about this amount, how much he sent.
This is a change to a person with a bad heart, who has long been well-fed. It's just that he is such a solid-eyed person, and he only takes five taels of silver every month. And in addition to buying daily necessities, most of this money was used to buy wine for his godfather Uncle Da to drink.
Therefore, after being in charge of the Guo Mansion for so many years, he has not saved any money at all, but fortunately, the government is in charge of eating and dressing, and he doesn't care about money at all.
"No, I can't. Go back to me and talk to him, this can't bully honest people! ”
"My lord, no, I'm in Guo Mansion, and the lord gives me silver every month. It's just that I can't keep the money, and I spend it every month. Guo Xiaochao said embarrassedly.
"How much per month?" Meng Yan has known Guo Xiaochao for a short time, this guy is clean and self-conscious, and he rarely sees him on the street, how much can it cost?
"Five taels of silver every month."
"It's only five taels a month!" Meng Yan almost didn't bite his tongue, he knew that he had worked so hard to simply poach people with a high-paying stick.
"Brother Xiaochao, do you know how much the housekeeper of a small rich merchant in the capital has to spend a month?"
"You know, at least ten taels of silver."
"Then you know, you're still ......"
"My relationship with the Guo family is not just an employment relationship, the adults must know it, and the master has mentioned it more than once, give me more money, I will ask for everything."
"Why is that?"
"If it weren't for Uncle Da and the old man to take me in, I would have starved to death on the streets, this is one thing, and the other is that I have no place to spend so much silver, just enough, I don't lack anything in Guo Mansion." Guo Xiaochao said.
"That was before, it's different now."
"I know, so the adults give me fifteen taels of silver every month, and I don't refuse." Guo Xiaochao said as a matter of course.
It's not that I don't understand, but I understand it very well.
"The adults are getting married, and Xiaochao has come out of the Guo Mansion, so it is natural to prepare a gift, right?"
"You're so thoughtful."
"It's a matter of duty."
"What are you going to give me?" Meng Yan was a little curious, a hundred taels of silver is not too much, it is not too much, what can Guo Xiaochao give himself?
What silk, Shu brocade and the like are too vulgar, and he won't give those things to a big man.
Weapons and armor, this is a man's favorite, but he already has a wolf knife, unless the quality exceeds the wolf knife, otherwise give it to him, at most, it is a collection and keep it as a souvenir.
Steed?
Good horses are hard to come by, but a hundred taels of silver can only buy a good war horse, and if you want to buy a first-class war horse, it is not enough.
For the rest, Meng Yan couldn't think of what congratulatory gift Guo Xiaochao could give himself, if it was similar to someone else's, then there was no need to guess.
"Well, keep it a secret for now." Guo Xiaochao sold a pass.
"Okay, if you don't say I'll find out sooner or later." Meng Yan smiled and didn't ask, Guo Xiaochao's mouth was very strict, he didn't want to say it, even if you opened his mouth, he wouldn't say it.
"My lord, the old ghost asks to see!"
"Uncle Ghost, come on, please let him in!" When Meng Yan heard this, he hurriedly commanded.
The old ghost walked in with a slightly rickety waist, and the smile on his scary face gave people an indescribable infiltration.
Ordinary people want this kind of honor, and they will scare people away a long time ago.
"Uncle Ghost, come, drink water." For this kind of veteran who came down from the battlefield, Meng Yan will always unconsciously have a heartfelt respect.
Those who survive are heroes.
"Thank you, sir." The old ghost took the teacup and sat down.
"It's so late, is there anything wrong with the old ghost uncle coming to me?" Meng Yan asked.
"Isn't this for Leng Feng's kid, he said, he said......" the old ghost said with a sigh of relief.
"What's wrong with Leng Feng?" Meng Yan asked strangely.
"Leng Feng, this kid said that he doesn't want to go back to the city with the adults tomorrow." The old ghost snorted for a long time before he said.
"Why don't you believe in my abilities?"
"No, no, my lord, I know what this kid thinks, he doesn't want to embarrass that Hou girl."
"So Leng Feng has a good relationship with the Hou girl?"
"Sort of, they were originally neighbors, they grew up together since childhood, and they didn't live with me until Leng Feng's father died." The old ghost explained, "The family affairs of the two families were decided at that time. ”
"Leng Feng doesn't want to marry the Hou girl?"
"Of course this kid wants to, but the Hou family girl is now a flower, and the people who propose marriage are about to break through the threshold, many of them are still noble princes and princes, and the Hou family's vision is also high, so they want to destroy this family business, but this matter can't be brought up by the Hou family, when the time comes, the regret of marriage will spread, and the reputation of the Hou family will not be good, and it will be difficult for this Hou family girl to marry a good family!" Old ghost road.
"Does the Hou family want Leng Feng to take the initiative to dissolve the marriage contract?"
"Yes, for this matter, the Hou family has already looked for Leng Feng several times, as long as Leng Feng takes the initiative to marry, the Hou family will come up with a large sum of money to compensate him and make a decision!"
"What does Leng Feng mean, is he willing?"
"Leng Feng, this kid is strong, he has to agree to this matter, and he won't be able to raise himself up to be a man in the future, not to mention that the girl of the Hou family still has affection for him, this kid is bitter in his heart!"
Meng Yan understood, if it was him, he would be in a dilemma when he encountered such a thing, Leng Feng's right foot was disabled, and his future was bleak, even if the girl of the Hou family didn't dislike it, could he let a woman suffer and suffer poverty with him?
What's more, it's still the woman you like?
But if he agrees to the conditions of the Hou family, he is afraid that it will be difficult for him to raise his head and be a man in the eyes of everyone, even if he does the right thing, give up an unrealistic marriage, and make the person he loves happy, but the reputation of a "coward" will have to be carried for a lifetime.
There is also the relationship between him and the girl of the Hou family, if the two have never known each other and have never met, then Leng Feng will not be so embarrassed, and it will be enough to dissolve the marriage contract, anyway, no one owes anyone.
"Is he trying to give up?"
"Leng Feng, this child is strong, even if he wants to dissolve the marriage contract, he will not ask the Hou family for compensation, I know this very well." Old ghost road.
"Uncle Ghost, your class Leng Feng called, I want to talk to him personally!" Meng Yan thought about it for a while, it was useless to talk to the old ghost about this matter, it was better to talk to Leng Feng directly, he wanted Leng Feng's true thoughts in his heart, not what the old ghost relayed.
"Here, just outside, I'll call the adults!" The old ghost got up and said.
"I'm here, why didn't I come in with you, such a big person, and I'm still shy?" Meng Yan said with a smile.
"This kid is very strong, I said he didn't listen, adult, you are different, what you say, he must listen!" Old ghost road.
"Why must he listen to what I say?"
"This kid listened to your deeds, and you admired the adult very much, so he must listen to the adult's words."
Meng Yan touched his nose and smiled, why didn't he see Leng Feng's admiration for him?
The old ghost went out, and after about a cup of tea, he heard two footsteps outside, the small steps in front, the steps were the same, and the steps behind were light and heavy, just listening to it, I knew that the owner had a problem with one foot, this was Leng Feng. (To be continued......)
