Sure enough, halfway through the meal, Aunt Kang started.
"Marquis Zhou, I heard someone said that in the fight against the rebellion years ago, besides you, there was another general who beheaded the thieves with his own hands. He was the famous prodigal in Bianjing City, Erlang Gu of the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion?
I heard that he used this skill to put on the Scarlet Robe in no time. You know, it took my brother-in-law more than ten or twenty years to put on the Scarlet Robe, but it only took him less than a year to achieve such an achievement.
, this is all due to you, and Ningyuan Houfu didn’t express it? "
Hearing this, Wang Ruofu's expression visibly stiffened, and he felt very uncomfortable.
She also defended her officials: "Then Gu Erlang once attended our Shengfu private school for a few days. His homework was not as good as Bai'er's, and other aspects were average. That is to say, Mr. Hou, you take him with you, otherwise he would not be what he is now."
Achievements."
Zhou Chen said with a calm expression: "Mother-in-law, that's because you haven't gotten to know him. In fact, he is still very brave. He was indeed the one who killed the leader of the thief. There is no doubt about it. The most I can do is support him, and he is more important.
Relying on my own ability, I cannot claim credit for it.”
Although Gu Tingye did have an element of luck this time, luck is also a part of strength.
Aunt Kang pretended to be disdainful: "He is just lucky. He is definitely incomparable to you, Mr. Hou. I heard that he is getting married to the granddaughter of Master Yu's family. The Ningyuan Hou Mansion has a good idea.
The eldest son of their family could not enter the officialdom, so he began to fully support the second son. He was just a prodigal, but he turned around and became an important minister of the court."
Speaking of this, she suddenly paused, and then said to Zhou Chen with a smile on her face: "Master Hou, I know that Gu Tingye was the one you arranged to enter the army, and then you gave him the opportunity to make meritorious deeds. Master Hou, my family
Jin'er, your cousin, has also reached the age of becoming an official. For the sake of relatives, can you arrange an errand for him?"
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of the other three people at the table changed, and Wang Ruofu became even more anxious.
"Sister, didn't you say that Jin'er's child wants to take the imperial examination and become a civil servant? Lord Marquis is a military attache, and even if he is arranged, he can only be assigned a position in the army. Jin'er's child is fair and fair, and is weak in literature and art. How can he do it?
Can you bear it?"
She is not smart, but that doesn't mean she has no IQ at all. She can't tell at this point. This is the real reason why Aunt Kang dragged her here.
Aunt Kang pretended to sigh pitifully: "I also want him to be a civil servant, but this child's homework is not as good as his cousin Changbai. He didn't pass the exam last time, and I'm not sure he will pass the exam next time.
I can't let him continue taking exams like this, so I want him to do some errands early."
"But my sister, you also know the situation of the one in our family. He really can't help at all. I have to think about Jin'er. The Marquis can even help a foreigner like Erlang of the Gu family. Jin'er is the Marquis.
My cousin, I think the Marquis will definitely help with this, right?"
After saying that, she stared at Zhou Chen with bright eyes, waiting for Zhou Chen's answer.
"this?"
Wang Ruofu looked embarrassed. She didn't know what to say. It was such a big matter that she didn't know him in advance. She was indeed a little unhappy. But seeing her sister's pitiful appearance, she couldn't bear it.
.
"Master Hou, how about..."
"aunt."
Hua Lan interrupted Wang Ruofu's words, and then said with a smile: "Aunt, what my mother just said is right. I have also seen cousin Jin. He is fair and fair, and looks talented, but after all, he is a weak scholar.
If we arrange for him to march into the army, I'm afraid his body and bones really won't be able to endure it."
Aunt Kang said matter-of-factly: "The army is not all about hard work. There are also paperwork and the like. Hua'er, Jin'er is your cousin. The Marquis can even help the second son of the Gu family. He can help a bunch of Jin'er."
Son, with the current authority and position of the Marquis, it must be an easy matter, right, Marquis?"
