"Second sister, where are Brother Chen and Uncle Chen?" Chen Dalang asked eagerly.
Chen Ermei wiped away her tears and said, "They went to the workshop to deliver things!"
After hearing this, Hu Xiaolin felt relieved.
At this moment, I heard Chen Ermei calling: "Dad, brother..."
Hu Xiaolin was a little stunned, but then he thought of something and turned around.
I saw Chen Dalang and his son coming back from outside at this moment.
"Xiao Lin, you're out..." Chen Dalang was also filled with joy.
Hu Xiaolin came to Chen Dalang in a few steps, knelt down and kowtowed: "Brother Chen, Uncle Chen... thank you!"
Since coming to Yuanyang, Hu Xiaolin has been greatly favored by the Chen family, and he will never be able to repay his kindness until now.
Father Chen immediately stepped forward, helped Hu Xiaolin up from the ground, and said, "Get up, what are you doing!"
"Xiao Lin, why are my brothers so polite!" After helping Hu Xiaolin up, Chen Dalang said with emotion: "I have to thank the prince for this. If the prince had not intervened in this matter, you would have been innocent!"
Hu Xiaolin was stunned by these words. He knew how unattainable King Yong was. How could such a person pay attention to a little person like himself?
Seeing Hu Xiaolin's doubts, Chen Ermei explained: "Brother Xiao Lin, for you... my eldest brother even stopped the prince's carriage. If he hadn't been lucky, he might have been beheaded by the guards on the spot!"
Hearing this, Hu Xiaolin was even more grateful and wanted to kneel down and said: "Big brother, thank you so much, little brother..."
This kind of kindness cannot be repaid in two lifetimes, so anything you say now seems pale.
"Xiao Lin, don't kneel down all the time. Why are you so open to outsiders? We are a family!" Chen Dalang laughed.
Several people walked into the house and talked about recent events, which was a good way to reminisce about the past.
After several conversations, Chen Dalang got down to business.
"Xiao Lin, what are your plans for the future?"
Hu Xiaolin replied calmly: "Work hard and let us all live a good life!"
He doesn't have any big ambitions, so it's not surprising that he said these simple words at this time.
Chen Dalang asked: "Xiao Lin, you are a capable person, do you want to work all your life? Be an ordinary citizen?"
Hu Xiaolin asked in confusion: "Brother Chen, if I don't go to work... what else can I do?"
"Go be a soldier!
"Soldier?"
Not only Hu Xiaolin was surprised, but everyone else in the room was also shocked by Chen Dalang's suggestion.
"Yes... only if you become a soldier or an official, you will not be bullied!" Chen Dalang said firmly.
During this period, Chen Dalang also experienced a lot, which had a great impact on him.
Ordinary people have no ability to resist this disaster, and they don't even have the means to talk to the government office for help.
At this moment, they are still alive and well, because they have gambled their lives several times.
They had won several bets this time. If something like this happened again, would they have to risk their lives? Chen Dalang was unwilling to do so anyway.
He knew very well that he had no ability, but Hu Xiaolin had great ability, so he recommended Hu Xiaolin to become a soldier.
There have been many examples proving that joining the army is a good way out for ordinary people.
I just heard Father Chen ask: "Dalang, haven't we finished recruiting the troops?"
Chen Dalang explained: "This time we recruited more than 2,000 people, and more than 100 people were turned back. We are recruiting new people in the past two days!"
Father Chen nodded, and then glanced at Hu Xiaolin. Everything depends on the intention of the person involved.
"Okay, I'll go!" Hu Xiaolin said firmly.
He believed that Chen Dalang would not harm him, and this arrangement was definitely the best.
"Okay... you can sign up tomorrow, and you can find a day to get married to your second sister, and then you can sit back and relax!"
"Dad, what do you think?"
Chen Dalang laughed and said: "Of course that's good!"
Hu Xiaolin was a little embarrassed, but Chen Ermei, who was standing outside the door, had a smile on her face.
…………
Inside the yamen of the Gongzheng Institute, Zhao Yanxun's inspection had concluded and he was about to leave the Gongzheng Institute.
At this time, Huo An came to his ears and reported that Ma Baokun was waiting outside with someone, and that he was here to apologize.
Zhao Yanxun said calmly: "Bring Ma Baokun in and let the others disperse!"
"yes!"
After Huo An left, Gongzheng Huang Zhongchang asked thoughtfully: "Your Highness, will you please leave for now?"
"Back off!" Zhao Yanxun said calmly.
"yes!"
Soon Ma Baokun was brought into the hall. Seeing Zhao Yanxun at the top, he immediately knelt down and kowtowed: "The guilty minister Huang Zhongchang, kowtow to Your Highness!"
Zhao Yanxun fiddled with the penholder and said slowly: "I have been punished, so there is no need to call myself the guilty minister!"
"I was not strict with my subordinates, which led to this disaster..."
Zhao Yanxun interrupted: "I have already said that since you have been punished, don't mention these past events again!"
"Next, you go to Liaoping to be the prefect, don't let me down!"
"Take this opportunity to temper yourself and make up for your shortcomings so that you can take on important responsibilities in the future!"
From these words, Ma Baokun could tell that Zhao Yanxun still valued him, which made him feel at ease a lot.
"Your Highness's teachings, I must remember them carefully!" Ma Baokun solemnly replied.
"Okay, get up!" Zhao Yanxun said in a calm tone: "You have suffered a lot after staying in prison for so many days. Go back and recuperate for a few days!"
"Your family is waiting for you, don't keep them waiting!"
Ma Baokun was deeply moved by Zhao Yanxun's words, which were both considerate and tolerant, as well as asking for help.
"Your Highness..." Ma Baokun couldn't hold back his tears.
Life is full of ups and downs, and only he knows his mood best.
