Chapter 30 Do not forget the original intention
The dilapidated temple where Qin Fengying is located is messed up by these orphans like money.
But it is still hard to hide the scenery of the past, Chen Shou opened up a good place in the back mountain.
The mountain spring flows slowly down from a high place, and walks along a stream of clear streams, gradually reaching the depths of flowers and trees.
I saw beautiful trees around me, and strange flowers, which were pleasant to me. The two of them turned several times, with green ivy and green leaves on all sides, deep and quiet, with only one and two crisp bird songs.
There is a small wooden house here, which has been abandoned for a long time. Chen Shou is taking his people to remove the overly lush plants and trees and clean up them up again.
After the work is done, this is a study room. No matter how bad it is, you can work from here, so as not to hear anything in the original Main Hall.
In the shade not far away, Li Lingyue and Zhihua picked wild flowers and played and played. He heard the girl's crisp and delicate laughter, and Chen Shou wiped his sweat and became even more motivated.
"Fill this place quickly to avoid water seeping!"
"Hey, there is a spring here. Use a bamboo tube to bring it over, and it is for washing in the morning. What? Without a bamboo tube, can't you see the whole mountain? Go and cut a few pieces!"
......
Chen Shou pointed and yelled Fang Qiu, and suddenly a voice came from outside, "Maintain the business, there are people from the general's mansion outside, saying that the old general is back and wants to see the business."
Chen Shou and Li Lingyue were shocked at the same time, "Your father is back?"
Li Lingyue nodded.
"Why didn't you tell me when your father comes back? You are not waiting for him in the mansion?"
Li Lingyue felt a little aggrieved and said, "Who asked them to send their sister to Bianliang? I don't want to see him. Seeing that you are so useless, aren't you going to propose a marriage? Why are you scared to fall down before you even saw him?"
Chen Shou smiled bitterly, "It's not decided, it's not good to be together every day."
"Okay, you dislike me, can't I leave?" Li Lingyue shook his sleeves and pulled Zhihua and was about to return home in anger.
Chen Shou hurriedly chased after him, sighed and said, "What am I afraid of? I'll get to know this old thing now."
"Go to you, you dare to scold my father." Seeing that he had been brave enough, Li Lingyue became worried and looked very cute. She used Chen Shou's mask every day, and her cheeks were as light as peach blossoms in March. Her pink and tender beauty was unspeakable, and her skin was even higher than her sister.
"You really go..." Li Ling asked uneasyly.
Chen Shou said angrily: "Can I still resist my life? He is the second-rank fourth-rank general who has been hereditary. He sent someone to recruit me a ninth-rank manager. Can you not go?"
---
In the general's mansion, the formation was far beyond Chen Shou's imagination.
Rows of military generals, strategists, and officials, most of them had just returned from the battlefield full of corpses, and their armor was filled with a bloody smell.
The army has been fighting for a long time, and people know how long it has been since they took a shower and changed clothes. There is a strange smell in the hall.
As soon as Chen Shou came in, he almost vomited. He forced himself to go forward and clasped his fists and said, "I have met the generals, and I have met all the generals."
Li Wei laughed and said loudly: "Chen Shou, you did a good job! You are more capable than I thought."
The generals in the hall also looked at him with a smile.
Chen Shou quickly said modestly: "It's all insignificant credit. You don't need to praise the Lord, just give some money to be promoted to the official position."
Li Wei was a little surprised and shook his head and said, "Didn't he say he wanted to be my son-in-law? Why, for the sake of official position and money, even Ling Yue doesn't want it?"
Chen Shou was surprised. The old general was really opened. He was not feudal at all, and he was not a good match.
He was really guessing it right. Li Wei didn't know how many people came to ask for marriage for his eldest daughter, but they were all wealthy families. Li Wei had his own thinking, and the general's mansion had a unique status, which was different from any wealthy family in Daqi. It had its own military power.
Originally, the generals of the four directions set up by the imperial court had military power, but only the wars in the northwest were frequent.
The other three gradually regained their military power, but unfortunately the court's military power was getting lower and lower, and they could not compete with the foreign races in the northwest. In desperation, they had to acquiesce to the existence of the General's Mansion in the West.
In this way, the Li family does not need to intermarry with other wealthy families, because the more this happens, the more likely it is to arouse suspicion from the court. The daughters of the Li family usually marry generals of the General's Mansion or the powerful northwest to strengthen control over the northwest.
Chen Shou is a talent he is preparing for new development, not cultivated by the General's Mansion itself, but it is good to recruit a son-in-law.
Standing behind Li Wei, a middle-aged scholar with white face and long beard nodded and smiled, "This son can be a virtuous son-in-law of the old coach."
Chen Shou suddenly had a little affection for this only scholar. If he knew that he was the chief military advisor of the General's Mansion, he would probably be even happier.
"If you are lucky enough to be abandoned by the general, Chen Shou has gone through fire and water for the general."
Unexpectedly, Li Xin's grandson was so trustworthy. It seemed that he had already said good things to his father and could marry a rich and beautiful woman immediately, reaching the peak of his life, and he was not a son-in-law, hehe.
Jiang Xiangyu leaned gently and whispered in front of Li Wei's ear: "The eldest son is upright and gentleman. The second son is pure by nature. He will be in charge of Xiliang in the future. Some methods are not used. Chen Shou's words to the second son show that he is a little bit powerful and ingenious, and has the ability to make money. When we are trained for a little, he will be a humeral in the general's mansion in the future."
His words always hit Li Wei's heart. His two sons are good at both literature and martial arts. Li Jin governed Xiliang in an orderly manner and loved by the people; Li Xin's military achievements were impressive and the morale of the army was admired.
But they are all too upright and don’t know how to adapt. To put it bluntly, they are just a stubbornness.
If ordinary families have such a son, parents will certainly be very proud. But the general's mansion is different from other places. It is a military and political integration here, and it controls the territory in the northwest. Sometimes what is needed is not integrity, but means. The officials in the border areas are not so easy to do. This time, it can be seen that some people in the court are dissatisfied with the general's mansion and are ready to attack the general's mansion at any time.
Li Wei nodded, pinched his beard and said, "You go forward."
Chen Shou walked forward a few steps, and Li Wei stared at him for a while. His gaze seemed to have substance, and it seemed that he could see through people's hearts.
Chen Shou simply relaxed completely and laughed generously. Li Wei smiled and said, "It's not bad, it's stronger than when I saw me before, and it's a little tanned."
"I have been practicing with Qin Fengying recently." Chen Shou said honestly. His every move could not be hidden from this person. It would be better to tell him honestly without any reservations.
"I ask you, how will you treat my daughter if I marry you?"
Chen Shou thought about it and said honestly: "There are only four words, don't forget your original intention..."
