Chapter 35: There are knives in your laughter
Joining the army is a special existence in the army, and the position is not high, but because he can always serve the side of the commander, make suggestions, draft documents, serve tea and pour water, and take care of each stall, there are relatively more opportunities for promotion.
For example, Lin Ruoshi was responsible for espionage as soon as he entered the school captain's office, but in fact, this is a fat gap, and I don't know how much money he has to spend in a year.
To be able to get here, there are all human spirits and the like. The upper part must welcome the commander, and the lower part must coordinate the various departments, even some low-level officers, and they must also go here to experience some training, and the next road will be easier.
Wu Yan walked to the front of the house, lifted the curtain and walked in.
In the middle of the room are neat rows of tables and chairs, all of the same style. A few people were drinking tea and chatting at the table, and when they saw someone coming in, several people stopped abruptly and looked at Wu Yan with a little doubt.
A man with a long beard and a somewhat fair face raised his eyelids and said with a smile: "This brother, there is something wrong here. ”
Wu Gen hurriedly stepped forward and handed over the paperwork, "My name is Wu Gan, I was ordered to report here, who do I need to hand over." ”
The man looked at it casually, turned his head to a slightly older person and said, "Old Cao, this person is the warrior who fought against the Great Xia Kingdom a few days ago, you might as well let it go first, and do some things to remember first." ”
The person surnamed Cao glanced at Wu Gan and said impatiently, "I have all paperwork here, what can he do as a fighter, don't make trouble for me." ”
"Lao Cao, it's not that he can get started at the beginning, you might as well run errands to various yamen first, familiarize yourself with it, and then make a decision." The short-bearded man was not angry, and said in a soft and deliberative tone.
"Alright, alright, let him follow me. The one whose name is Wu is sitting at my table. The man surnamed Cao seemed to have eaten a fly, and casually pointed to the opposite side of himself.
"Hehe, this brother, you can join the army with Cao for the time being. My surname is Bi, my name is Bi Hua, and I can call me Bi to join the army. In the future, everyone will work together here, and there is nothing to say. ”
Bi Senjun looked kind, got up and led Wu Yan to the army surnamed Cao, "This is Lao Cao, Cao Jinren, you two should be closer in the future." ”
Bi Hua was quite enthusiastic, helping Wu Jian to receive the things he used in his daily life, handling the delivery of documents, arranging his residence, and he was busy running before and after, and his neck was wet with sweat.
On the other hand, Cao Jinren sat motionless at the table, seemingly indifferent to Wu Gan's arrival.
Wu Gen sat at the table, with a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone on the table, his eyes and nose, nose and mouth, and his mouth and heart, no one paid attention to him, and he was not easy to talk to others, and no one even knew the names of the other two people in the room. The room was quiet, except for the occasional person going out to deliver official documents, the rest of the time there was only the sound of turning paper and writing.
Looking at the sun setting a little westward, Wu Gen was bored to the extreme, when the door was gently pushed open, and a head stuck in and looked around.
"Yohe, isn't this Sun Shaofu, how can you have time to come here, is it going to rise this month's Yulu." When Bi Hua saw this person, he joked.
"Bi joined the army, you really laughed, this matter can only be decided by the captain, I want to send more for my brothers, but I am humble and light, isn't it useless to hide under the bed."
The person who came was not restrained, and smiled and joked with Bi Fang, "I am looking for my brother, and I heard that he is here today." ”
Wu Gen was dreaming of Huang Liang, and suddenly woke up when he heard it, and when he looked up, his eyes couldn't help but light up, this person was not someone else, it was his future bookkeeper Sun Hong. After staying up for a long time, I finally saw the person I knew, and I couldn't help but feel joy in my heart and stood up.
"Brother Wu." Sun Hong shouted in surprise and walked quickly to Wu Gan, "I didn't say it earlier before I came, so that my brother can be prepared." The joy was palpable.
"Why are you here, I also arrived today, I don't even know how high your threshold is, how can I find you?" Wu Gen was also very happy, Sun Hong grew a little longer, and the strand of white hair on his head was getting blacker, obviously he was having a good time these days.
"Let's go, I asked my brother to have a good rub in the city at night, I haven't seen him for many days, and Brother Wu is actually a lot stronger." As he spoke, he pulled Wu Gen and walked out, and when he walked in front of Bi Hua, "Bi joins the army, I will take a step forward with Wu Gan, do you always have fun together." ”
"Go, you two can go, brothers reunite, pull me to do something. You can rest assured that I am here. Bi Hua smiled and urged the two of them again and again.
After not seeing him for such a long time, Wu Jian found that Sun Hong was a lot more sleek.
When he went out, Sun Hong put his arm around Wu Gan's shoulders, "Brother Wu, I heard that you fought against the Great Xia Kingdom, and it has increased the prestige of my Zhao Kingdom, which is really gratifying." Now you are a role model in the army, and the captain said that I should learn from you. ”
Wu Yan looked sad, "What a model, I originally thought that when I got to the city, there would be a different world, and I never wanted to make a clay sculpture for a day, but I was worried." Knowing this, I might as well stay in Fuyin Pass and be my mountain king. ”
"Hehehe, I know that this kind of day of sitting in the yafu is definitely not suitable for you. Bear with me, after all, this place is next to the chief, with your strength, Brother Wu, you will definitely be able to take charge of one side and become a career in the near future. Sun Hong smiled and patted Wu Gan's shoulder to persuade.
The two chatted while walking, and Wu Jian knew at this time that in the counselor's room, Bi Hua was the main one, which was equivalent to a leader. This person is an old man in the school captain's mansion, he is a good person, he is warm as spring to everyone, and he is very popular with people up and down.
As for that Cao Jinren, his qualifications are actually older than Bi Hua, because he has a somewhat eccentric temperament, so he is not very well treated by the commanders, and he is still a member of the army after so many years, and he is not at the top or at the bottom, so he has been wasting his time here.
Over the years, after Captain Yuwen arrived, he was dissatisfied with the practices of his predecessor, and promoted some young people one after another. These people are called the Young Zhuang faction, and they have invisibly drawn a line with the old man. Therefore, the atmosphere in the school captain's mansion is a little delicate, and it is normal for Cao Jinren to have some opinions about Wu Gan.
When he was about to walk to the gate, Sun Hong's face was a little hesitant, and he said in a low voice: "Brother Wu, there is actually another person for tonight's banquet, I didn't know that you came today, but this person only learned about it after this person informed us." ”
"Huh? Who. Wu Yan was a little surprised, he didn't have any acquaintances in Dingyuan City.
"Lin Ruoshi." Sun Hong's face was a little solemn, "After he was driven back from the Xiang Army last time, there were actually some people in the Captain's Mansion who wanted to take the opportunity to drive him away. However, for some reason, Captain Yuwen did not punish too much, but just changed his position and participated in the affairs of Bingcao.
After this person returned from the Xiang Army, he changed his previous arrogance, but became gentle, and got along with both the old and the new young. Not only the school captain's mansion, but also the people in the county government also have a lot of contacts. Brother Wu has just arrived, so he should be patient and not directly conflict with him. ”
Wu Gan's face was expressionless when he heard this, it was not surprising that Lin Ruoshi could do it to this extent. This kind of person has a big plan and can do everything he can. He and Mo Xin worked hard, pretending to be miserable, spreading rumors, and planting false accusations, taking advantage of its shallow foundation, and gathering the strength of everyone in the camp to drive them away.
Now in this Dingyuan City, this person is good at dancing with long sleeves, left and right, and good at drilling, which is a good place to show his talents.
"I know, it depends, as long as he doesn't mess with me, he can't touch this piece of." Wu Gan's perception of Lin Ruoshi is really a little bad, but as Sun Hong said, he can't make enemies for himself everywhere.
As soon as the two of them walked out of the door, there was already a person standing at the door, with a smile on his eyebrows and a long body, it was Lin Ruoshi.
Seeing Wu Yan come out, Lin Ruoshi stepped forward and said, "Welcome Brother Wu to ascend, Ruoshi has been waiting here for a long time." They are all people who have walked the way of life in the past, and today I hastily prepared some banquets, and please be able to enjoy them. ”
Sun Hong was a little nervous, and glanced at Wu Gan, for fear that he would say something ugly and make the other party unable to get off the stage.
"Oh, isn't this Brother Ruoshi, I haven't seen you for a long time, I really want to kill my brother." Wu Gen stepped forward with a laugh and hugged the other party's shoulders tightly, "After a long time, the Ruoshi brothers have become more and more chic." ”
Lin Ruoshi's body stiffened, his face was a little subtle, and he withdrew his body quietly, "Brother Wu fought against the Great Xia Kingdom this time, defeated the strong enemy, and his prestige can be described as thunderous, the title of a model in the army, everyone in Dingyuan City knows it." Taking up our new duties today, we will congratulate those of us who have walked the past life path together as role models. ”
"It's easy to say, it's easy to say, you see that you just got here, and it's really embarrassing to let your brother break the bank. Come on, come on, you have to get drunk tonight. Wu Yan took his hand down, but he learned from Captain Yuwen and grabbed the other party's hand.
Lin Ruoshi endured goosebumps all over his body, and said with a smile, "That's natural, the Xiang army is hard, since you are in the city, you might as well let Brother Wu see this Dingyuan City today." ”
Seeing the two of them as intimate as brothers who had not seen each other for many years, Sun Hong felt a chill in his heart, neither of them was a good bird, they were both people who liked to rub and hand knives secretly. If it is reconciled, it is fine, if it is fought openly and secretly, this Dingyuan City will have another bleak wind and rain.
The three of them talked as they walked, and went out of the west of the city to the east. Passing through the bell and drum tower in the center of the city, the front gradually became noisy, with red lights and green lights, and people coming and going.
Along the way, there are wine shops, red mansions, and hook columns, and the people on the street are drunk and smoked, all of them are looking for flowers and willows, and they are drunk with gold fans.
The three of them stopped at a place called Lan Xiangban. In the middle, there is a huge stage, and on both sides of the stage are private rooms, which are three stories high.
On the stage, there were several women with snow-white skin and graceful figures, with veils on their faces and silver Chu'er on their bare feet, dancing slowly. The water sleeves are about to be thrown away, sometimes raising their wrists and lowering their eyebrows, sometimes lightly soothing their hands, as if there are countless petals fluttering in the air, swaying and swaying, which can be described as beautiful.
The three of them entered a room, and several people were already waiting in it.
Wu Yan looked at it, these people were really familiar, and they should all be people who had gone through the past. Seeing Lin Ruoshi come in, these people got up one after another to salute. It seems that Lin Ruoshi has indeed attracted a lot of people, as if he is the leader of this group of people.
Waiting for a few people to sit down, soon a small servant sent four plates of dried fruits, four dishes of side dishes, put a wine jug, and diligently wiped the dust off the shoes of a few people. Lin Ruoshi flicked his thumb, and a piece of broken silver flew out and fell into the hands of the little guy. The little guy smiled and bowed backwards.
Lin Ruoshi introduced a few people, and solemnly introduced Wu Gan, so he sat on the main seat and asked Wu Gan to sit on his right.
"Ladies and gentlemen." Lin Ruoshi coughed, "It's really an honor for me that Brother Wu Gen is here today." Presumably, everyone has heard about the war with the Great Xia Kingdom.
In this battle, Brother Wu went to the meeting single-handedly and defeated a strong enemy, which can be said to have greatly increased the face of our army, and everyone was honored. Today, Brother Wu is here, if it is true to prepare a little wine, let us celebrate the success of Brother Wu. ”
There was a rush in the room, and everyone raised their glasses. They all stepped forward to find Wu Gen to drink, and in a blink of an eye, a pot of wine was in their stomachs.
At this moment, the little servant walked in again and put hot dishes on the table, "Uncles, the wine is finished." The wine and food have been served, and the restaurant is quite famous for singing songs, but you still have to listen to a small song. ”
Lin Ruoshi smiled slightly, "But, otherwise, how can you be soft and red." ”
"Gotcha." The little guy went out happily. Every time a guest orders a song, he will have a share.
After a while, a young woman of fifteen or sixteen years old, dressed in a green shirt, walked in with a pipa in her arms.
