Chapter 20 Lieutenant Seal
This...... Is it a marriage proposal?
It's too sudden, isn't it said that the ancient emotional expression was more subtle?
Qishi's apricot eyes widened, and he couldn't believe his ears, isn't Childe a little too innocent? I didn't do anything with him!
Seeing that Qishi did not respond, Sun Shao's old face turned red, and he was at a loss for what to do.
"Ah, I didn't mean that, I know it's sloppy, but I ...... I'm not sorry for you. It's not, it's actually ......."
"Huh?"
Next, the two of them were there, and the atmosphere was very awkward.
Someone relieved them of the siege, Zheng Chunniang happened to go out, and saw these two people at a glance, and she was overjoyed.
"Childe! Ah! You're back! ”
Sun Shao hurriedly said, "Sister Chun, where are you going?" ”
"Since you set out on the expedition, I have been going to the south of the city every day for the past two days to inquire about the news. Yesterday I met Ding Feng, and he said that he was going to go into the mountains to find you, and I am now trying to find him! ”
Qi Shi said: "Chun Niang, I have good news for you, this piece of Shanyue has been pacified, and the son has made his first contribution!" ”
Zheng Chunniang was naturally happy, she called out Zheng Suo, and together welcomed Sun Shao and the two home.
Sun Shao bathed and changed clothes, washed away the dust of the past two days, and then came to the front hall. He didn't see Qishi, and suddenly became anxious, as if he had lost something, and his mind was restless.
Zheng Suo couldn't wait for a long time, and he kept asking Sun Shao about his experience in the past two days. Next month is his hair tie, and he will turn fifteen.
In ancient times, a man who tied his hair showed that he was no longer a child, and in addition to taking on more responsibilities, he also had to consider life events such as marriage.
"Childe, I will also go on the expedition next month, and I will make contributions with Childe!"
Sun Shao said: "Xiao Suo, in the past, I often told you the story of the battle on the battlefield, thinking that it was nothing more than that. But when I went to the battlefield myself, I found that it was far more cruel than I imagined. ”
Zheng Suo didn't know what to do, and he was even a little dazed.
"So Xiao Suo, you don't have to be in a hurry, you still have to be patient and choose the path you like."
After another half an hour, Qishi had not yet appeared, and Sun Shao couldn't sit still at all. He sent Zheng Suo away, stood up, and went to the side courtyard to look for Qishi.
Walking through the courtyard arch, Sun Shao came to the side courtyard, which was the residence of Qishi and Zheng Chunniang.
It was early summer, so the small window was propped up, and the scene in the house could be seen a little. I saw Qi Shi sitting in front of the dressing table, using a grate to take care of his hair.
The long black luster hair is fluttering, and the world after the bath is like a fairy, with a fresh temperament and no mortality.
Although Sun Shao didn't know how to sing, he also had the urge to record it with pen and ink at this time.
Qi Shi saw a vague figure in the bronze mirror, turned sideways and looked out through the small window, and saw Sun Shao waiting outside the small window.
"Ahh Childe, why are you here? ”
"I ...... Come and see you. ”
Qishi was amused in her heart, so she walked out, she knew that Sun Shao had a knot, for fear that she would blame him.
"Childe, look at Lu Qian's attitude, can you draw any conclusions from it?"
Sun Shao groaned slightly, but he explained his inner thoughts and thoughts, "The relationship between the Lu family and my Sun family is very complicated, on the one hand, the two sides have grudges, and on the other hand, the Lu family still has to rely on us to maintain the status of the four major families. ”
"So Gongzi has made a meritorious deed this time, Lu Qian must be very conflicted with you. The reward must be rewarded, and it is a sure thing for the son to get a military position. But he will definitely suppress Childe, because Childe has what he wants but can't. ”
Sun Shao didn't take Qishi's words to heart, all his thoughts were on Qishi's smiles and every move.
"It's not an exaggeration for Childe to be directly promoted to Captain Zhaoxin, but Lu Qian will be a hindrance from it, I guess it may be demoted to the next level, probably in Captain Fenwei."
After Qi Shi finished speaking, seeing Sun Shao looking at himself in a daze, he hurriedly patted Sun Shao's shoulder.
"Childe, are you listening to Ah Shi's speech?"
Sun Shao came to his senses and hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, yes." ”
Qi Shi made a small face and said with a fake anger: "Then what did I just say?" ”
"Hmm...... You said I had something that Lu Qian wanted but couldn't......"
"Does that boy know what it is?"
Of course it's you...... Sun Shao finally suppressed this sentence, and he instantly figured out the joint.
"Those two hundred Shanyue men?"
"That's right, specifically the Troop Private Soldiers. The four major families have wealth, but they are suppressed by your Sun family, and one of the most important reasons is that their private soldiers are too weak. If you pretend to appease Shanyue and gain the support of Shanyue people, then the Lu family's combat effectiveness will also be significantly enhanced. ”
Sun Shao nodded in agreement, in this troubled era, with an armed force of his own, he can establish a career in advance, and he can protect himself when he retires.
"Then let's go and see them, their station is in this Qingyun Alley."
Qi Shi said with a smile: "Childe is slow, twenty people say more or less, say less and a lot." Although Childe is their lord, he can't go empty-handed. ”
Sun Shao's face was embarrassed, and he rubbed his hands and said, "Now that the reward has not come down, how can it be good." ”
"Don't worry, Childe, I've been prepared for a long time. When I dug up that batch of gold before, I had already ordered the butterfly to take some of it out. ”
Sun Shao relaxed and thanked him: "Thank you Ah Shi, I'm going to let you pay again." ”
"Childe doesn't need to be polite, Ah Shi just hopes that Childe can work hard, come on!"
After saying that, Qishi clenched his right hand into a fist and made a cheering motion. Sun Shao still hadn't seen this action, but he also knew that it was encouraging him, so he also clenched his fists.
"Come on!"
……
In the west of Jian'an County, Ansheng Lane, Lufu is located here.
Because the head of the house is busy with government affairs on weekdays, the layout of the house is extremely simple, the style is simple and elegant, the lush grass and trees in the courtyard are scattered, and several subordinates are carefully pruning.
Lu Qian was in an upset mood today, so he returned to the house early. Since he took over as the head of the Lu family at the age of thirteen, he has been working hard to protect the Lu family and seek discovery, so to this day, he has not been married.
He had long had the intention of subduing the Shanyue army in the south of Jian'an County, but after years of planning, it fell short today.
The Shanyue people, who are quite combative, let Sun Shao get it for nothing, how can he not be annoyed.
He couldn't figure it out, he must have used the financial resources and manpower of the Lu Mansion to be stronger than Sun Shao, why was it turned over at a critical moment?
Sun Shao's merits are too great, and they will definitely attract the attention of Jianye, but he has to do the things that should be rewarded and promoted.
Just then, an old family member came over.
"Master, Jianye has sent a letter."
"Bring it."
Lu Qian saw that it was the lord Sun Qun, and he raised his spirit, and when he opened it and read it, he almost screamed.
But years of forbearance made him suppress the anger in his heart, he stabilized his mind, and instructed the people waiting on the side: "Just do what you just discussed, Sun Shao still needs to be tempered, it is not appropriate to seal Zhaoxin as a captain, change it to Fenwei captain." ”
After the servant left, he said to himself, "My lord, where are you trying to force me?" ”
