Chapter 1145: Tell a story to the general!
Without waiting for the introduction of the military advisor, General Lu said with a smile, "This is Jiaren, right?" I've been hearing my son mention you, but I didn't see you for the first time until today. ”
Li Jiaren hurriedly got up and saluted his juniors, "The prince is fine, come here rashly, and hope that the prince will forgive his sins." ”
General Lu helped him up, and said boldly, "Jiaren, don't be like this, you and my son are close friends, and you have been carrying things and letters for him for half a year, and I can't thank you too late." ”
With that, he invited Jiaren to sit down again, and poured him tea with his own hands.
Jiaren got up and saluted and thanked him, and when he sat down, he smiled and said, "I have been in the southwest for half a year, and I have always wanted to come to visit the prince, but I have no choice but to delay it until now."
I don't know if the prince is in good health? ”
"Okay, okay." General Lu drank the cup of tea in one gulp and said, "Call me General, the title of this prince is the emperor's kindness." In fact, I am a big boss who fights and kills, and I am in the name of the prince, I am afraid that those people in Xindu will gossip again. ”
"The general is polite, your title of prince is a real accumulation of military merits, and those rich princes in Xindu who only know how to walk birds and enjoy flowers, a hundred together are not as good as you!"
Jiaren's words are not polite, he has been in the southwest for a while, and he has learned about the rampant foreigners outside the border passes, and the hard work of the border army, but he is sincerely grateful and admired.
People grow old and become fine.
General Lu and Shen Junshi naturally saw whether Jiaren's words were sincere or flattering.
As a result, the two fell in love with him more and more.
General Lu even complained about his son, "That kid in my family really deserves to be beaten, I know a young talent like you, but I don't even have a family to talk about it." Otherwise, you can choose one of my daughters. Is there one more good son-in-law in our Lu family! ”
Jiaren smiled, "Thank you for the general's attention, but I already have a good wife in my family, and my eldest son was also born." I can only live up to the general's love! ”
Shen Junshi also smiled, "Master Li, don't blame, our general has this temper, and when he sees a good man, he wants to serve in the army." Seeing such a talent like you today, I actually want to turn back to be a son-in-law! ”
General Lu was not angry, and laughed heartily.
After a while, the backyard banquet was delivered.
Jiaren came here this time, not because of official business, but for a private visit.
Therefore, General Lu Lao did not have a few people to accompany him, and even his concubine did not call over, only Shen Junshi was present.
The three of them were half-full, and began to push the cup and change the lamp.
The Lu family has lived in the southwest for a long time, although there are people in the new capital, and the news is constantly transmitted, but at this time, General Lu still asked a few more words about the new capital.
After all, everyone in Tianwu knows that the Li family is a big celebrity in front of the emperor, and they are extremely favored.
They must know more.
Jiaren only said some new things about Xindu, and didn't say a word about the court.
General Lu took advantage of the time to pour the wine and glanced at the military division.
The military advisor smiled and said, "Master Li, our son has written back many times, and he is full of praise for you and your family. Our generals have always wanted to give back a few points, but there is no chance.
"It just so happens that Lord Li is coming over today, I don't know what difficulties Lord Li has in the past six months? If there is, just say that we can help. ”
Jiaren lowered his eyes, played with the wine glass in his hand, and his mind turned.
After testing for so long, I have a little more trust in General Lu.
In this way, he could have made his words clearer.
Jiaren put down his wine glass and said with a smile, "Thank you to the old general, thank you to the military advisor." Although my small county town is barren and has many problems, I can still handle it.
"But I heard a story before, and I thought it was very interesting, and I wanted to tell it to the old generals and military advisors."
General Lu and Xu Junshi were both surprised, and they didn't understand why he was telling the story.
But the two of them nodded anyway, poured their wine, and prepared to listen.
Jiaren smiled, "Actually, it's not a particularly magical story, it's just that someone in the story is too ridiculous."
"It is said that there is a city, and the lord of the city is reasonable and benevolent, and the people live in peace. And to protect the city from the surrounding mountain bandits are the two military generals Zhao family and the Qian family, both of whom have outstanding military achievements and are praised by the people.
"The children of the two families are fortunate to meet, read and play together, just like brothers with different surnames.
Among them, the Zhao family has many children, and there is only one girl, so she is loved by all the family brothers.
"Occasionally, when we play together, this girl also follows her brothers in and out, so the boys from the Qian family are familiar with ......"
Old General Lu listened familiarly and looked at Shen Junshi, but Shen Junshi frowned.
Jiaren didn't seem to notice their expressions, took a sip of wine, and continued, "Gradually, these teenagers and girls have grown up, studied and tested their fame, and each has their own achievements.
At this time, the city wanted to recruit a son-in-law for his daughter, and he took a fancy to the boy of the Qian family. The Qian family was naturally willing, and the kid of the Qian family also agreed, so they got married.
The boy of the Zhao family was also happy for the boy of the Qian family, but inadvertently, the boy of the Zhao family found that the boy of the Qian family actually had a love for his sister, and the performance became more and more obvious.
"It's just that the daughter of the Zhao family and the daughter of the city lord are little sisters who get along very well, and they are more than ten years apart from the Qian family!
So, the boy of the Zhao family reminded the boy of the Qian family to pay attention to his words and deeds, so as not to cause trouble, harm himself, and harm the Zhao family.
"The boy of the Qian family agreed very well, and on the surface, he always asked the daughter of the city lord to play, but in fact it was just to see the girl of the Zhao family. The girl of the Zhao family was smart and soon found out, so she avoided it. ”
Shen Junshi's face had completely changed, and General Lu finally guessed a few points, and he was about to speak angrily, but he was pulled by his sleeve by the military division.
Li Jiaren smiled, poured himself a glass of wine, and continued.
Later, the city lord wanted to set a date to get married, but the boy of the Qian family pretended to be sick and delayed. It didn't take long for the Zhao family's city defenses to be repeatedly destroyed, and even the military rations were destroyed. The Zhao family investigated and dealt with some clues, and the person behind the action was the Qian family's boy.
"It's just that the Zhao family doesn't know what the Qian family's idea is, is it trying to force the Zhao family to marry the girl to him as a concubine? Not to mention whether the city lord girl is willing or not, even the Zhao family would rather die than suffer this humiliation.
For the sake of the peace of the city, the Zhao family did not expose the matter. But just as the mountain bandits began to attack again, the Zhao family had to fight the enemy with all their might, and the slightest negligence could lead to senseless sacrifices, or even the fall of the city.
"At this time, all the Zhao family wants is to think that the Qian family kid has accepted selfishness and absurdity, and focuses on the overall situation, which is not too extravagant, right?"
General Lu and Shen Junshi didn't know what to say.
Jiaren didn't expect them to say anything, and sneered, "It stands to reason that the Qian family kid said from the beginning that he liked the Zhao family girl, even if the two are more than ten years apart, the Zhao family will refuse well and will not hurt face."
"After all, it is human nature for a family to have a woman who asks for it.
"But the hateful thing about the Qian family kid is that he doesn't want to be disgusted by the city lord, he promised to marry the city lord's girl, and he still secretly covets the Zhao family's girl!
"Should this kid of the Qian family be strictly taught, and if he continues like this, he is afraid that the city will be disturbed?
"The most innocent is the Zhao family, who has sacrificed their lives to protect the city for many years, not only have to endure humiliation, but even be hated by the city lord in the end, how unfair!"
