Chapter 21: The Price of Saving Lives (Revised)
The little sister is interested in her brother's experience in her previous life, although Haijiao doesn't want to mention it, but after being ground by the begonia for a long time, she is still relieved and makes a little introduction.
Haitang immediately became interested in "that young lady": "What is this young lady's surname?" What is it called? How old is it? What does her brother think of her? Is it possible that she will be my sister-in-law? ”
"What nonsense! That's my benefactor! Reef immediately retorted to his sister's words, but after rebutting, his cheeks involuntarily turned red, which made people feel very suspicious.
Haitang stared at him: "Really? So why are you blushing? You're not really a child. According to your words, you are already an adult who has seen the world, so why is your face as red as a monkey's ass when I only ask one sentence? ”
Hai Jiao's eyes were blank: "Nothing! I'm ...... It's angry! Obviously, I am grateful to that young lady, and I am completely selfless, but I was said to be like this by my own sister......"
"Oh-okay." Haitang snorted twice and decided to let him go for the time being, "Since this young lady may be killed in a few years, why don't we hurry up and save her?" You should know where her family lives, right? ”
Haijiao paused: "We can only go at the time when I met her in my last life...... If she had gone early, she would still have her parents and relatives at home, and the wicked person who had harmed her had not yet revealed her true face, she would not have believed me. ”
There was no way, he didn't plan to live in Datong Mansion for a long time, so he could only pass by there on the way back to Yongping's hometown. And the old county magistrate who allowed him to get to know this young lady will not return to his hometown until at least three years later...... If he hadn't traveled with this old county magistrate, where would he have come from to get acquainted with this young lady? Not to mention reaching out to her and taking her away from those ill-intentioned relatives. He wanted to take her away in the name of it, not to damage her reputation......
The reef was swallowing, but Haitang vaguely guessed a little: "Is the old county magistrate related to this young lady?" You must first befriend this old county magistrate and return to his hometown with him before you have a chance to meet that young lady? There's no other way? ”
Haijiao nodded: "So, I don't want to go back to Yongping's hometown now." Now that I'm back, what reason did I leave home after more than three years and go to Datong to save people? Not to mention...... I also have to get acquainted with the old county magistrate who returned from Chang'an. ”
Moreover, this old county magistrate is also his benefactor. Since he knew in advance that the daughter and grandson of the old county commander would be trapped in the in-laws' house in Datong Mansion and the situation was bleak, there was no reason why he would not help. He has the advantage of being a prophet in his life, and he will definitely be able to help the old county commander rescue his relatives more smoothly.
After listening to her brother's words, Haitang thought for a while: "If it's for the sake of insurance, you must wait until three or four years before returning to Yongping's hometown, then we have to start preparing now." In the past few years, it doesn't matter if we stay in Suzhou City or go to Chang'an Mansion first, as long as we are in Chang'an Mansion before the day you leave Chang'an in your last life. But...... If you still want to help the old county commander save his daughter and grandson, and you want to protect the young lady from her ill-intentioned relatives, then you must first have a good identity. Otherwise, you will still be like in your previous life, just a flat-headed commoner, powerless and powerless, no matter who you want to help, you will be very difficult. ”
Hai Jiao suddenly felt reasonable: "That's a good thing. The wicked son-in-law of the old county commander is a man, and the family also has friendships with local officials. The wicked relatives of that young lady even knew the powerful people in Beijing, and I heard that they also climbed up to which pavilion elder later. With the current identity of our Hai family...... Even if I want to help them, it will be very difficult, and I may even offend the nobles and affect the family......"
But if he was told not to repay the kindness of these two benefactors, he would not be able to do so. It's a big deal, he acted separately from his family, and he temporarily disguised himself to save people in another capacity.
Haitang listened to her brother's plan and couldn't help but roll her eyes: "What are you stupid?!" Brother, our grandfather is also an official, but he didn't do much as an official, and he resigned early. But if you can persuade him to go out of the mountain, or if you enter the army in advance and climb up, as long as you have a reasonable identity, or invite a high-ranking official to accompany us, what else do you have to fear? My own ability is limited, and I can always do it! ”
Haijiao sat up straight and looked at the little sister in surprise: "This ...... Will it work? Grandpa is this age......"
"I don't think it's impossible." Haitang said, "General Gu asked their grandfather to check the accounts, although it was to get rid of Sun Yonglu, but they had to wait for their grandfather to return to Suzhou before they could start checking the accounts, which proved that they did not have a better financial master than their grandfather." Now they don't need to make a fuss in the account books to solve Sun Yonglu, but Sun Yonglu's fall will also take away a lot of henchmen, and there will be many vacancies in the Suzhou Weihui, among which there must be a position in charge of finance. Could it be that the generals will be willing to let the master of grandfather leave, but let someone who is not as good as him fill the vacancy? As long as Grandpa agrees to return to Suzhou to serve in the guard, he may continue to rise to the ranks! ”
In fact, Haixi Cliff's age is not very large, but he is in his fifties, and in modern times, it is not yet the time to retire, and it can still be called a young and vigorous. It's just that he has lived in the northwest border pass for many years, and Haixi Cliff looks older than his peers, but he has good physical energy and no problem working for another ten years. Haitang feels that as long as his grandfather himself does not object, there is no reason to lie down and retire so early, and his old man can roll up for a few more years to create better conditions for his children and grandchildren. Just to persuade him to open the book, the granddaughter of Haitang is far less important than the much-loved grandson of Haijiao.
Haijiao was quickly persuaded by the little sister: "That's right. Grandpa has been in the border army for more than 20 years, and his qualifications and skills are not bad, in order not to attract attention, he didn't want to be promoted, but now his cousin has been pardoned, and Sun Yonglu has committed another crime. He didn't ask for anything, he just needed his grandfather to have a seven-rank official body before he officially left the northwest, and it was enough. The seven-rank official is already an official who has entered the stream, and he goes out and walks around in the name of the grandson of the seven-rank official, and he has a lot of confidence.
Haitang Xindao's brother's heart is too low, what is the seven-rank official? What's more, it's still an official who sues the old man on the seventh grade? I'm afraid that the magistrates of Datong will not take it to heart, let alone the official eunuchs who have caught up with the elder of the pavilion?
She didn't laugh at her brother, but said, "Brother, tell me clearly first, have you made up your mind to abandon literature and martial arts?" If you are still pursuing a civil career, as long as you can pass the examination in the past few years, you can do it. But if you plan to enter the army and serve as a military officer, it is best not to leave the border city for several years. As a warrior, there is no better place to make a career than the frontier. ”
has a grandfather who is an official, but he just gives Haijiao a decent identity, but after his grandfather becomes a general, his future will depend on his own hard work. He wants to climb up, wants to be a high-ranking official, and stays in the border city to have a chance to rise quickly. In those peaceful places, he can only climb up step by step, God knows how long it will take?
"But the frontier is very dangerous, you may go to war at any time, you may lose your life at any time. Grandpa and Grandma and Cousin don't want you to take any chances. Begonia stared at the reef, "Have you really made up your mind?" Are you willing to risk your life in order to successfully save people in three years? ”
