Chapter Forty-Eight: The Future
Song Anming nodded approvingly, "I wasn't going to go to the guard, today was Xiumu, but Gu Jin is still in the guard, there should be something important, I ran to find him, it's too inappropriate, maybe it will delay him."
Fortunately, my father also went today, and my father went to find Uncle Li, and found out that the reason why the guard did not rest today was because the newly appointed commander made the Lord Wang temporarily decide to organize a martial arts competition, and all soldiers who were willing to participate in the guard could sign up, and those who did not want to participate were not compulsory.
Uncle Li took us to the guard house together, looking for his cousin Zheng Liupin experience of the guard house, Master Li, who had been leading the task before, and only returned home yesterday, because the guard had a martial arts competition today.
Originally, I thought that I was just going to say hello to Lord Li today, and then ask about the situation and time of recruiting soldiers and low-level generals in the guard, but I didn't expect that Lord Li was really a straightforward person, and I heard that I was good at martial arts, so he took me into the guard, and said to Shangfeng that I would also participate in the competition in the guard, and then I participated. ”
Although Song Anming said it simply, Song Xiaochi knew that there must be some twists and turns in the process, but looking at the current situation, the result should be good, so it will be fine.
"How many people did you win, big brother?" Song Xiaochi asked.
"Twelve people, all of them are military attachés and soldiers with good martial arts in the guard."
"So Da Lang is already a military attache of the guard?" Fang said excitedly.
"It's not that fast." This time it was Song Shaoyan who spoke, "During the competition, the newly appointed commander was also there, and he saw that Da Lang had defeated twelve people in a row, and they all stood up from their seats at that time, and said, 'What a brave son, great goodness!'" As he spoke, he let an adult next to him play, but the adult was a commander of the four grades, with strong martial arts, and many soldiers in the guard could not pass three moves in his hands, but Da Lang had eight moves with him, and this was still the result of Da Lang winning twelve people and not having good physical strength.
I heard that the commander asked the commander to write down Dalang's name on the spot, saying that he would recruit troops after the spring next year and recruit Dalang directly into the guard. ”
"Heard? Dad, you didn't enter the guard? Song Xiaochi accurately found the loophole in Song Shaoyan's words.
Song Shaoyan nodded, "Yes, your eldest brother can only be accommodating after entering the guard or after Lord Li has reported to Shangguan, and I don't know martial arts, let alone participate in the competition in the guard, so naturally I can't go in, I and your Uncle Li are waiting outside the guard." ”
"How do you know so well, Daddy?" Song Xiaochi was puzzled, Song Shaoyan said so excitedly and high-spiritedly, quite picturesque, if he hadn't taken the initiative to say it, anyone would have thought that he was watching the competition on the spot.
"After the Da Lang competition, Lord Li sent him out and told us, and Lord Li also said that with Da Lang's performance today, he will enter the guard at that time, and at least he can be a nine-grade captain, so he will also enter the ranks of military attachés."
Song Shaoyan said with relief, he and Song Anming had discussed before, if you can't be a military attaché, you can only enter the guard as an ordinary soldier, like Song Anming, a man who is in the prime of life and has martial arts, it is naturally easy to enter the guard to be an ordinary soldier, but from an ordinary soldier to the ranks of military attachés, what is needed is not only martial arts, but also related to opportunities, popularity, and the impression of Shangguan and other factors.
Sometimes a capable soldier is likely to be only a soldier for the rest of his life, and he can't even be a nine-rank military attaché.
"Sister, prepare the things, I have already arranged it, I will go out from the West Corner Gate tomorrow night, and the Tan family will come to greet the relatives early the day after tomorrow, and then they will find that the people have run away, and they will not have time to find them, so they can only return the dowry and dowry, and then return the relatives."
Song Anming said in a calm tone, but in fact, his heart was floating, with his understanding of Mrs. Song and the couple in the second room, it was difficult to say whether they would withdraw from such a family business that could bring them wealth and even power just because Song Xiaochi disappeared.
It's just that no matter how Mrs. Song and the second room react at that time, whether they will quit their relatives as he wishes, or whether they will hold on to their family, or even have a more radical reaction, none of these can stop his determination to send his sister away and get rid of this rotten family matter.
What Song Anming can think of, Song Xiaochi can naturally think of.
If Song Anming hadn't entered the guard and had not obtained the number of low-level military attachés in the guard post as a descendant of Kang Yongbo's mansion, Song Xiaochi might not have any hesitation, but now she doesn't have the calmness she used to have.
She was very clear in her heart, and knew how rare and difficult it was for her brother to get such an opportunity to change the bleak and mediocre future.
If it was because of her that she ruined her brother's future, she would be honestly uneasy.
"Big brother, if I leave, they will definitely guess that you helped me......"
"I've made up my mind, the worst is to leave the clan!" Song Anming interrupted Song Xiaochi's words.
"But now it's different from the past, you are the name of the male of Kang Yongbo's Mansion, if you don't have this identity, it's hard to say whether you can get this place."
Song Xiaochi said, looking at Song Anming's expression seriously, if he had the slightest hesitation, she would not run away from the marriage.
Of course, she will not resign herself to staying in the fire pit, when she arrives at the Tan family, she will find a chance to escape, at that time, the Tan family wants to find trouble with her parents and brothers, and it is difficult to stand on her feet, and then her parents and brothers can even find trouble with the Tan family in turn.
Of course, the risks involved, and the price she has to pay, must be huge, but ...... If she should bear it herself, she needs to find a way to bear it and try her best to get through it.
Song Anming stretched out his big hand, and finally couldn't help but rub the top of his sister's hair like he did when he was a child.
"Silly girl, your eldest brother is so useless in your eyes, without the rotten signboard of Kang Yongbo's Mansion, I can't earn a future, rest assured, I am in the limelight in the competition in the guard today, I can see that whether it is the commander or the commander, what they value is my martial arts, not what Lao Shizi's Kang Yongbo Mansion.
Even if I wait until the beginning of spring next year, I am no longer a descendant of Kang Yongbo's Mansion, but I have already entered the eyes of several adults in the guard, even if I start as an ordinary soldier, it must not be difficult to be promoted to a nine-rank captain. ”
"Big brother, you have rubbed all my hair up!" Song Xiaochi pretended to complain that Song Anming's words made her heart a lot calmer and more relaxed.
Song Anming smiled and put down his big hand, looked at Song Shaoyan, Fang and Qiao on the side and said: "Daddy Juanniang, I know my future in my own heart, if it is just for this so-called future that is not yet clear, let my sister marry the Tan family, I will never forgive myself for the rest of my life, and I guess you will not be at ease."
