Chapter 3 Letters of Recommendation

Zhao Gu said slightly melancholy: "What you kid can think of, I will think of it all, but you can be a teacher for one day and a teacher for life, how can you ignore the grace of teaching and solving doubts?"

Pei Zheng showed a look of relief on his face, although the unscrupulous general is not of good character, his brain is not bad, otherwise how could the empire hand over three thousand regular troops, eight thousand auxiliary troops and a border city to a fool.

However, Zhao Gu's next sentence made him want to scold.

"Ben Jiang originally wanted to arrange for 90 personal guards to escort them out of the Northwest Road, but unfortunately they were rejected by the Wenshi Yizheng. ”

There are only a hundred guards in total, and you want to send out ninety at once?

It's not muddy water anymore, you want to take a bath.

Pei Zheng said with a serious face: "Wen Shilang is a decent person, and he really thinks about the general, how can the general live up to his old man's good intentions?"

Zhao Gu glanced at Pei Zheng coldly, and asked in a quiet tone: "Then are you willing to repay the kindness of the writer for this general?"

Pei Zheng sighed secretly, everything was said about this, if he dared to say that he was unwilling, the days ahead would be difficult.

No, there may not be a future, and the unscrupulous general may be angry and cut him into eight pieces for disobeying military orders.

After coming to this world for five years, Pei Zheng doesn't look like the legendary protagonist no matter how he sees himself.

After all, the protagonist in the story will not be as miserable as him, after five years, he is just a scout team with no taste and no level.

I saw Pei Zheng hugging his fists and saying: "The general has received the grace of Wen Shilang, and the lowly family has received the favor of the general, and now the lowly duty is repaying the general's kindness, which can be described as justified." ”

"I went back and picked out a few clever brothers, packed up my salutes, and was ready to lead the way for the mission, and took my leave. ”

After Pei Zheng finished speaking, he turned around and left, since he didn't have a choice, he simply cut it down, lest he obviously did a good deed, but he couldn't please him.

Life is like that, if you can't resist, you can enjoy it, and if you feel comfortable, you can scream.

As soon as Pei Zhengshou touched the doorknob, Zhao Gu shouted slowly: "Slow." ”

Pei Zheng stopped, turned around, and bowed his head slightly: "Does the general have any other orders?"

Zhao Gu took out something from a pile of books on the table and threw it at Pei Zheng: "Oh, it's for you." ”

Pei Zheng took what looked like an envelope with both hands, and looked puzzled: "Dare to ask the general, what is this?"

Zhao Gu held his head high, pretending not to care, but his tone revealed a little smugness: "The recommendation letter for admission to the Yanwu Academy is stamped with the seal of the Ministry of War, which is a good thing that you can't even dream of." ”

A letter of recommendation for admission to the Academy of Martial Arts?

Pei Zheng's eyes widened, emitting a bright light, and he couldn't wait to open the envelope.

A piece of paper was drawn out, and when I looked closely, the words "Yanwu" were written on the front, vigorous and powerful, and the sharp edge was exposed, and on the back was written "Twenty-four years of Jian'an, recommended by the Ministry of War", as Zhao Gu said, covered with the seal of the Ministry of War.

Great Xia is known as "Wen has a national eunuch, and Wu has a martial arts academy", and the status of the two in Great Xia is comparable to Pei Zheng's Tsinghua University in Huaxia in his previous life.

To put it bluntly, it is the combination of Tsinghua University and Peking University and the Central Crotch School.

For Pei Zheng, the Yanwu Academy is tantamount to a dragon gate, before entering, he was at most a small loach, if he can enter it for three years of further study, it will become, well, a very thick and big loach, ordinary people can't eat that.

Pei Zheng couldn't help but complain a little about Zhao Gu, you took out this kind of good thing earlier, and I said so much nonsense.

Isn't it just to lead the way? Not to mention sending it out of the Northwest Road, it's no problem to send it to Kyoto.

His face showed a grateful look as quickly as possible: "The lowly student should be the head, and the death should be the grass, in order to repay the general's great kindness." ”

Zhao Gu said leisurely: "I have said many times to repay my kindness, so there is no need to keep talking about it." ”

"Your kid has been in the scout camp for five years, and in addition to passing on military information in a timely manner, he has been beheaded twenty-five levels in total. Don't you say that this merit is placed in the scout camp, looking at the entire Xin'an City, tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians, including the regular army, how many can compare to you?"

"But even so, if you want to get a letter of recommendation from the Ministry of War, it's still a fantasy. ”

"In order to help you get this letter of recommendation, Ben will spend two years before and after, and it will cost no less than a thousand taels of silver just to make a dot, and I have begged all my former classmates, which can be called a lot of hardships, do you know why?"

Pei Zheng looked a little lonely: "It's because of the humble brother." ”

Zhao Gu said sharply: "That's right, it's because of your brother." Eighteen years ago, your grandfather was abolished by the Pei family because of his mistakes, and was expelled from the family, and your father was implicated and was also abolished. ”

"Your grandfather, either in order to survive or unwillingly, brought your father, your brother and you, three generations of grandparents and four people to Xin'an City, when your brother was seven years old and you were only two years old. ”

"In the bitter cold land of the northwest, it is difficult for ordinary people to make a living if they don't have enough food and cold to keep them warm, let alone your pampered father and ancestor, but the martial arts have been abolished?"

"As Ben expected, your father froze to death outside the city the next year, and your grandfather suffered from a solid illness and carried it for five years in one breath. ”

"In order to take you to live, your brother knelt at the gate of the general's mansion, just begging Ben to wrap his stomach and give him a square inch of land. ”

Ben took pity on him and gave him a job as a groom, but he didn't expect that he, a twelve-year-old boy, was like a weed in the wasteland, and he survived tenaciously and fed you. ”

"When your brother was fifteen years old, the Hu people marched south, Xin'an City bore the brunt, more than half of the soldiers were killed and wounded, and they urgently needed to replenish their troops. ”

"Beheaded the ninety-seventh level within three years, even if most of the combat exploits were replaced by him for cultivation resources, he would still be promoted to lieutenant. If it hadn't been for his untimely death, I don't know what I would have achieved today. ”

"Ben has told you a lot, do you understand the purpose?"

Pei Zheng's expression was solemn: "The general is as kind to the lowly family, please rest assured, even if the lowly family loses his life, he will take the mission away from the Northwest Road safely." ”

Zhao Gu looked disappointed, shook his head and sighed: "You are wrong, what Ben Jiang means is that your life was given by your brother, you have to be more careful, live well, strive to get ahead, don't let down your brother's hard work." ”

"You must know that before your brother died, what he never forgot in his heart was still you. ”

Pei Zheng opened his mouth slightly and looked at Zhao Gu in surprise, not knowing how to answer for a while.

is another grace, and another true feeling, after the combination of the unscrupulous general, it seems that he can only be his son-in-law.

How old is his daughter? It seems that she is 12 years old this year, and according to the custom of Great Xia, she will be able to propose marriage in another three or four years.

How much should I prepare for the dowry? Everyone is so familiar, can you give a discount?

But it doesn't seem necessary, the dowry is generally much richer than the dowry, and it seems that it doesn't hurt to give more of this kind of sure-money business.

The little girl always has to get married, and it's better to be cheaper than cheap for others.

"Son-in-law...... Ahem, the words of the general should be remembered in the humble position. ”

Zhao Gu's face darkened, and he didn't hear the first two words, and said with some interest: "Go ahead, be well prepared." ”

Pei Zheng not only did not leave, but bowed down and said: "I implore the general to reward five hundred taels." ”

Zhao Gu stood up and said angrily: "Pei Zheng, you kid is thinking about inches?"

Pei Zheng bowed slightly, and said calmly: "The general misunderstood, this time to lead the way, whether it is to take into account the general's past kindness, or for the sake of the letter of recommendation, the life of humility has long been given away." ”

"For the sake of safety, the humble officials wanted to choose five brothers from the scout camp to accompany them, but the future was uncertain, and life and death were unpredictable, so they specially asked for five hundred taels as their settlement allowance, and begged the general to agree. ”

"I wanted to pay out of my own pocket, but I was shy in my pocket, so I could only make this decision, which made the general laugh. ”

Zhao Gu looked directly at Pei Zheng's eyes, and said quietly: "Ben Jiang is smiling, although Ben Jiang is old, but he is not old and confused, the silver that your kid has saved in the past few years, I'm afraid it is not less than two hundred taels, why are you shy in your pocket?"

Pei Zheng's face flushed, and his face showed shame: "Isn't the lowly post going to the Martial Arts Academy to study soon? Although Chang'an is big, it is not easy to live for a long time, and after entering the school, the lowly post has no military salary to receive, but he always has to eat, and the general will not watch the lowly post starve to death on the streets of Chang'an, right?"

Zhao Gu said angrily: "Come on, don't pretend to be pitiful, before you leave, you come to the general, the general will give you six hundred taels, and you will give your share together." ”

Pei Zheng grinned when he heard this: "Thank you for your humble position, General." ”

Zhao Gu waved his hand, as if driving away flies: "Get out." ”

Pei Zheng replied with a full mouth: "Yes." ”

As soon as his hand touched the doorknob, he suddenly remembered something: "By the way, before leaving, the general had better arrange for the lowly to meet with a few adults of the mission, and some things need to be said in advance, so as not to cause unnecessary misunderstandings when you get them." ”
