Therefore, Qi Peipei only said softly, "In this peaceful and prosperous age, there is no way to achieve any fame. Besides, there are many noble people in the capital. If you can do things well, don't you also have the opportunity to be promoted?"
"Today is not a peaceful and prosperous time. You just live in the center of the capital and don't know the dangers outside. The Qiang Desert has always been a serious concern for us. Although the Voodoo tribe successfully joined forces with us to suppress the bandits this time, their attitude has been wavering. . And the tribes behind them are even more ambitious. We will definitely have a battle with the Qiang Desert in the future." Lu Zhizhang only asserted in a low voice.
Qi Peipei had never heard her husband say so many words to her. She was a little happy in her heart, and she didn't want to leave just now.
However, if it is true as he said, there will be a battle with Qiangmo in the future, then sending this child to Yunzhou is not asking for death?
After all, the last war with the Qiang Desert was just to suppress the bandits in Black Eagle Mountain. Although the suppression of the bandits was successful, it also cost the lives of a prince and many soldiers.
Qi Peipei couldn't help but be worried about such a high mortality rate.
But Liu Shuhuai didn't think so much. He was still full of yearning for the military life.
"Cousin, please stop talking. I know you are worried about my safety, but I think it is good to go to Yunzhou!" Liu Shuhuai said.
Qi Peipei glanced at her husband, and now that Lu Zhizhang seemed to have high expectations for her cousin, she could only shut up.
"I just wonder if Yunzhou is still recruiting troops now?" Liu Shuhuai thought in a low voice.
"If you go to Yunzhou to defect, as long as you pass the recruit test, they will naturally accept you." Lu Zhizhang replied.
"But it's the New Year's Day now, and the army is deserted. What I mean is that it's not too late for you to stay in our house and wait for the New Year before leaving." Lu Zhizhang said in a low voice.
"And as far as I know, the Yunzhou captain Chen Jinghuai is also in the capital now. If there is a chance, it would be a good thing to go to Yunzhou with him in the future."
After hearing this, Liu Shuhuai's face suddenly became full of longing.
"That's what my brother-in-law said!"
Qi Peipei couldn't help but sigh in her heart when she saw this silly boy being so complacent with just a few words from his cousin-in-law.
If he really went to Yunzhou, it would be difficult for his mother to explain.
Therefore, she did not leave. She only planned to wait for Liu Shuhuai to finish talking with Lu Zhizhang before she could talk to Liu Shuhuai in detail.
She just waited until Liu Shuhuai and Lu Zhizhang finished talking and she was about to lead Liu Shuhuai down.
Lu Zhizhang suddenly said to her, "Madam, please stay here for now. I have something to tell you."
It was the first time that Lu Zhizhang took the initiative to talk to him, and Qi Peipei was also stunned. ..
Liu Shuhuai chuckled and said, "Since my cousin-in-law wants to talk to my cousin, I won't bother you."
After saying this, Liu Shuhuai left the study under the guidance of other maids.
But Lu Zhizhang only waved his hand again, and even the boy beside him rushed out of the door.
For a moment, only Lu Zhizhang and Qi Peipei were left in the room. It seemed that they had never had such a moment alone together.
Qi Peipei felt both uneasy and inexplicable expectations.
But Lu Zhizhang only said to Qi Peipei, "Madam, let's sit down and talk."
Hearing his gentle voice, Qi Peipei felt slightly relieved.
The two of them just sat on the two yellow pear wood Taishi chairs placed in one place.
"Madam, I want to keep you here to talk to you about your cousin." Lu Zhizhang said calmly.
Although Qi Peipei rarely saw other expressions on Lu Zhizhang, Qi Peipei could still feel a pleasant aura about him.
Therefore, Qi Peipei only whispered his worries: "My mother actually asked me about my cousin's matter. I also saw that he has some abilities, so I agreed. Husband, I think our two families are powerful now." He is weak on his own, so he needs more help. This kid, Shuhuai, is also a grateful person. If he can develop, we will have more help in the future."
After listening to Qi Peipei's words, Lu Zhizhang only said, "My wife and I want to be together. I am also very optimistic about this child, but if he stays in Shangjing, it is difficult to have a big chance. Although I am now under the influence of Gao Yushi, However, Gao Yushi followed the path of a lonely minister and offended many people on weekdays. Although I am not as good as him
It offends people like this, but in the eyes of others, I am someone from Gao Yushi's side. If they want to do something, I will inevitably be plotted against. I can take care of you alone, but I may not be able to take care of your cousin. "
"It looks like everything is calm here in Beijing, but in fact, the area at the center of power is the center of the whirlpool of right and wrong. Killing people with swords and swords is no more merciful than on the battlefield. Besides, promotion here is not based on your ability. , here it’s about qualifications, connections, and planning, and that kid has a simple temper at first glance. Instead of letting him use his shortcomings to attack his longings, it’s better to let him make up for his shortcomings with his longings. Maybe there will be another sky.”
"As for the dangers on the battlefield, they are inevitable, but I also have friends in Yunzhou. I will try my best to let them take care of this child."
After listening to Lu Zhizhang's words, Qi Peipei felt relieved. She originally thought that Lu Zhizhang just didn't want to do this, but now it seems that if he really doesn't want to pay attention to his cousin, he can just ignore him. Now he sees him. My cousin also talked to me so much.
Now that I think about it, what he said was actually right.
This capital is a place where qualifications, connections, and planning are all about right and wrong.
After all, the capital city is only so big, and so many scholars come here every year to seek fame and fame, who are all eager to get an official position in the capital city.
And if the old guy above doesn't abdicate, the people below won't be able to get up.
Besides, my cousin is not the one who gets his official position through literature.
Thinking of this, Qi Peipei also fell into deep thought.
After a long time, she said, "Since my husband has said this, I feel relieved. I will leave my cousin's affairs to my husband."
Lu Zhizhang said, "Of course you can leave it to me to introduce friends to him, but you should take care of the child's time in the capital."
After listening to Lu Zhizhang's words, Qi Peipei just nodded in agreement.
This was the first time she had spoken so much to Lu Zhizhang, and the two of them communicated so calmly.
For a moment, Qi Peipei even thought that they might already be a loving couple.
However, this illusion did not last long. After discussing Liu Shuhuai's matter, Lu Zhizhang suddenly stood up and said, "I think it's getting late. Madam, you should go back to your room and sleep first."
"What about you?" Qi Peipei asked with a hint of expectation.
Lu Zhizhang was just stunned when he heard this, but soon he said, "I still have things to do, so I will inevitably have to go to bed very late. Madam, don't worry about me."
Qi Peipei could only nod his head in despair. When Lu Zhizhang sat back at the desk and read the books, Qi Peipei put the leftover leftovers into the food box.
Before going out, she only said to Lu Zhizhang, "I'm leaving." This time, all she got in return was a kind word from Lu Zhizhang without even raising his head.
Then Qi Peipei opened the door, and there was only a cold wind coming from outside. At this moment, Qi Peipei felt more and more that the cold seemed a bit unbearable.
In the private room of Furong Flower Pavilion in Zuixiangju, a girl wearing a goose-yellow jacket and a white cloak walked into the private room of Furong under the guidance of a middle-aged woman.
In the private room, Chen Jinghuai, who was wearing a moon-white round-collared robe and looked very thin, was sitting upright in front of the round wooden table in the inner room.
He didn't react until the middle-aged woman coughed lightly.
When he turned around, he was meeting a pretty girl. When their eyes met, the girl glanced at him briefly, then lowered her head and blushed.
That middle-aged woman is the iceman who has been a matchmaker for these young ladies from official families all year round.
Now that she blushed when she saw this young lady, she also knew that this young lady must have some interest in this young man.
So she just smiled and said, "Master Chen San came very early."
Then she smiled and said to the young lady beside her, "Girl, this is the third young master of Chen Duwei's house. This third young master is very capable. He is now the captain of Yunzhou."
Chen Jinghuai also had a male iceman talking to Chen Jinghuai about the young lady's situation. The iceman only smiled and said, "Third Young Master, this is Miss Yuan Yanqiu. It seems that her father and brother and Third Young Master Chen are quite similar. Relatedly, his father served as a minister in the Ministry of Household Affairs
, his brother also serves in the Ministry of War. "
After introducing these, the girl had already arrived. Chen Jinghuai just raised his hands and said, "Hello, Miss Yuan."
Then Yuan Yanqiu said a sweet blessing.
After the two people finished saluting, they took their seats accompanied by the two ice men.
Although this was not Chen Jinghuai's first blind date, and he was almost engaged to Jiang Xiang's daughter before, he was not a talkative person, so after sitting down, he didn't know what to say to the woman.
The woman didn't mind that he was clumsy and tongue-tied. After all, everyone would inevitably have some sympathy for those with better looks, so Yuan Yanqiu took the initiative and said, "Third Young Master, what do you like on a daily basis?" "
Chen Jinghuai only said, "Of course it's something that uses swords and guns."
Yuan Yanqiu then asked, "I heard that the Third Young Master is stationed in Yunzhou?"
Chen Jinghuai nodded.
Then Yuan Yanqiu said, "Speaking of which, my brother has been to Yunzhou before. He said that it is a thousand miles away. If you want to go back to Beijing, you will have to travel and travel for several days, and it is very cold in Yunzhou in winter." The ground is frozen. The climate is very unsuitable. It must be very difficult for the Third Young Master to come there, right?"
When Chen Jinghuai heard this, he just shook his head and said indifferently, "Just get used to it."
Yuan Yanqiu then praised, "The Third Young Master is indeed a hero. It's a pity that I have never had the opportunity to go to Yunzhou. Why don't the Third Young Master tell me what he has experienced in Yunzhou? Or if you can tell me your own deeds, that would be more useful." alright."
Chen Jinghuai nodded, just before he spoke.
There was a sound from the door of this elegant room.
