"My cousin has been active since he was a child, and now he has learned martial arts in his hometown. My mother means that this kid is good at martial arts, and wants you to arrange an errand for him."
"This child can endure hardships and knows how to be grateful. You can arrange whatever you want." Qi Peipei then added
After saying these words, Qi Peipei immediately lowered her head. At that moment, she even wanted to find a hole in the ground and crawl into it.
This was the first time she had spoken to Lu Zhizhang. If she had not seen that her cousin was indeed a hundred times more powerful than her brother and father, and she was also afraid that her mother, who was taking care of her, would personally come to beg her if she didn't open her mouth. Lu Zhizhang, the situation will be even more embarrassing when the time comes, and she may not be able to say this right now.
But now that he spoke, there was no reaction from Lu Zhizhang.
Although Qi Peipei was not surprised, it would be extremely embarrassing if he was really rejected.
So she then made up for herself and said, "Of course, if it's inconvenient for you, forget it."
Lu Zhizhang suddenly asked, "What's your cousin's name?"
"Liu Shuhuai." Qi Peipei whispered.
Upon hearing this name, Lu Zhizhang's eyes lit up. The person he was waiting for finally arrived.
If I remember correctly in my previous life, after Yunzhou was completely under Chen Jinghuai's control, he only managed to cultivate a group of young generals.
Among them, Liu Shuhuai was the one who charged into battle for the cause of King Jin when King Jin raised his army, only to have his generals retreat steadily.
And the most important thing is that this kid gained Chen Jinghuai's trust later on.
In his early years, he had heard someone mention that this man had come to seek refuge with the Qi family, but it was a pity that the Qi family fell into decline. Although the mistress of the Qi family, Liu Wanjun, wanted to help Liu Shuhuai, she only allowed her daughter to marry her husband. However, Qi Peipei's husband had a bad relationship with Qi Peipei at that time. Therefore, Qi Peipei's original husband not only did not arrange errands for Liu Shuhuai who came to visit, but instead just kicked him out of the house.
In the end, Qi Peipei supported Liu Shuhuai thirty taels behind her husband's back, and Liu Shuhuai directly carried his luggage and went to the bitter cold land of Yunzhou to start as a grassroots soldier. It was not until later that he followed Chen Jinghuai that he was gradually enabled.
Later, when Shangjing was attacked, the mother and daughter of the Qi family were abandoned in Shangjing because of the war. However, they heard that one of the officers who attacked the city was Liu Shuhuai, so they approached Liu Shuhuai. Although Liu Shuhuai was not there at that time, He sought fame from them, but he also remembered the kindness of these two people, so he later only allocated his house to the mother and daughter. Later, he also found a good marriage for Qi Peipei.
Of course, these are all things for later, and the current situation is different from what I remembered.
But no matter what Liu Shuhuai's fortune will be in the future, this man's loyalty and talent are unmistakable.
In the tug-of-war with King Jin, they were actually evenly matched in terms of military strength. What they really lacked was a good general.
Therefore, he has been thinking about incorporating Liu Shuhuai into his own system. Maybe he can become a sharp knife in the heart of Japan's enemies in the future.
But now that he heard something unusual from Song Chuchu, he changed his mind again.
Thinking of this, Lu Zhizhang just asked, "Where is this child now?"
Hearing what Lu Zhizhang said, Qi Peipei knew that there was hope for the matter. She said happily, "He is still in the main hall. I will call him over now."
After saying that, Qi Peipei had already gone to the main hall.
At this time in the dining room, Liu Shuhuai, who had only eaten a table of meat and vegetables, was obviously full.
However, looking at his shabby appearance, where he even used steamed buns to dip the vegetable oil in the bottom of the plate, the maids in the house couldn't help but secretly show contempt.
I think that their young lady was also a young lady from the Duke's Mansion. Although the Duke's Mansion later fell into decline, she was still a well-behaved young lady, and she seemed to behave very decently on weekdays. I just don't know how such a young lady could have such a daughter. Such a shabby relative.
Fortunately, Qi Peipei didn't see their expressions when he came in.
However, when she saw Liu Shuhuai eating all the food on the table, she was in a daze for a moment.
Liu Shuhuai touched his belly with some embarrassment and said, "Cousin, I really don't want to
I'm sorry, I haven't eaten enough during this trip. I'm so hungry. "
Qi Peipei just said, "Are you full?"
Liu Shuhuai nodded sheepishly.
Qi Peipei naturally doesn't care about this. What she cares about more is that her husband seems to be interested in Liu Shuhuai.
So she just took Liu Shuhuai's hand and said, "Since you are full, you can go to the study with me. Your brother-in-law wants to see you."
Liu Shuhuai was a little surprised when he heard this. After all, this cousin-in-law's reaction was obviously very cold before, so why did he want to see him now?
However, he also knew that if he came this time, he would have to beg his brother-in-law, so he just followed Qi Peipei honestly.
After arriving at the study, Qi Peipei knocked on the door.
He could see Lu Zhizhang who was already eating the meal he had served.
Seeing that he finally responded, she couldn't help but feel happy.
When Lu Zhizhang saw the tiger-headed young man, his face also lit up with joy.
"Husband, this is the cousin I told you about. His name is Liu Shuhuai. He knows some boxing and kicking skills and is quite clever. Do you think there are any plans for this child?"
Lu Zhizhang only put down his bowl and chopsticks after hearing this.
He looked Liu Shuhuai up and down. Although the young man had not gone through much training and looked young and immature, he looked exactly like the boy who had chased his own generals back steadily.
He just started to praise him and said, "He is indeed a spirited boy. His appearance is completely different from those young men who went to Beijing."
No one doesn't like to hear good words. When Liu Shuhuai heard this, he was also happy.
"I heard that you have some martial arts skills, and you may show me your skills today." Although Lu Zhizhang asked, there was no intention of rejection in his words.
Qi Peipei also quickly signaled Liu Shuhuai to show off his skills. Liu Shuhuai was not a stage frightened person. He just said "good", then he broke off a flower branch on the spot and put the flower branch in the small courtyard outside the study. He was acting majestic and full of killing intent.
It can be seen that this boy really lived up to the master who taught him kung fu.
Lu Zhizhang only shouted "Hello", and then after Liu Shuhuai calmed down, he just asked, "Boy, let me ask you, what are your plans for entering Beijing this time?"
When asked about this, Liu Shuhuai scratched the back of his head in embarrassment. To be honest, he grew up in a small mountain village and had lived in a ravine for more than ten years. If he had not wanted to make a career in the world, his family would have been afraid that he would learn from it. Damn, if I just send him here to find a job, I'm afraid he won't be able to leave that small mountain village for the rest of his life.
And because of this, his knowledge was limited to that in the mountain village.
He had seen rangers before, and he wanted to do chivalry, but now that he had entered Shangjing, he realized that knights used force to break the ban. Rangers were not allowed to gather in Shangjing, so he couldn't think of what he could do for a while.
However, he remembered the group of guards he had seen before entering the capital. Those people were riding tall horses and wearing Mingguang armor. They looked really majestic.
So he just said loudly, "I want to be a soldier in the capital! They look so majestic wearing armor and riding tall horses."
Hearing this, Qi Peipei's face just turned pale.
Apart from Jin Wuwei, there is probably no one else who can ride a horse on the street.
It's just that these Jinwu guards don't look like they only patrol the inner city on weekdays, looking like they have nothing to do, but they also have official ranks, and if they want to be Jinwu guards, they must have enough backing.
She originally thought that it would be great for her cousin to work as a yamen servant or a soldier in a department such as the City Patrol Department.
I didn't expect that this kid would open his mouth as soon as he arrived.
She was also afraid that Lu Zhizhang would be angry, so she scolded him, "Is that what you can do?"
When Lu Zhizhang heard this, he just said, "Why not? I think your cousin is quite ambitious."
Seeing that Lu Zhizhang's words did not seem to be sarcastic, Qi Peipei naturally stopped talking.
But Lu Zhizhang then said, "You should be talking about Jin Wuwei, right?"
Liu Shuhuai scratched his head and said, "I don't know what they call them, but they are quite majestic."
Lu Zhizhang said, "The majesty outside is enough, but there are many things inside that have nowhere to put them."
The children of government officials would probably not have much of a future if they stayed there. I think it would be a waste to let you hang out there. "
Hearing this, Liu Shuhuai did not argue. After all, he knew nothing about the ways of Beijing.
When Qi Peipei saw that Lu Zhizhang did not promise to let Liu Shuhuai enter Jinwu Guard, she couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.
This Jinwu Guard was originally the territory where the old nobles arranged their children. Now if we really want to crowd in there, we will have to ask those nobles for help. I'm afraid there will be an inevitable exchange of benefits.
Naturally, she was not happy to see Lu Zhizhang sacrificing his own interests for outsiders.
Of course, Lu Zhizhang himself would not do such a loss-making transaction. If he had to do such a loss-making transaction, it must be that he had some conspiracy against the person who was losing money.
"Then cousin-in-law, where do you think it's appropriate for me to go?" At this time, Liu Shuhuai couldn't help but humbly ask for advice.
"Why don't you bring a Wu Gou? I think you have such martial arts skills, so you shouldn't be stuck in this prosperous place in the capital. There is no room for making achievements here. You should go to a wider world." Lu Zhizhang only said whispered.
Hearing this, Liu Shuhuai's eyes also lit up, "My cousin-in-law is right! I will take the title of man immediately! But I don't know where I should go? Please give me some guidance."
Qi Peipei did not expect that her husband and his cousin had the same ideas.
But at that time, the child's relatives were worried about the child's safety, so they sent him to Shangjing. Now, the family does not want him to be rich and powerful, but only wants him to be safe.
But if he really went to the battlefield, wouldn't that situation be even more dangerous than being a knight-errant?
