After hearing Qin Mubai's words, Qin Tong and Qin Bin looked at each other in shock, and Qin Shubao stroked his beard and smiled.
"Have you two brothers heard this? Sanlang is very insightful." Qin Shubao nodded and praised, "My father has also considered these issues. There is a reason why I express my feelings to you today. It is true that even if my father wants to It’s not that easy to come back. Considering my father’s influence in the military and past achievements, the emperor couldn’t give me a small official position, at least a third-grade general or a commander-in-chief of the impeachment party. But such a situation It will inevitably conflict with the military power of Li Ji and others, affecting the old military structure and balance. Therefore, unless there is a sudden war and the Tang army is temporarily reorganized, my father will be able to take the initiative to come back to join the army. . ”
"It is what my father said." Qin Mubai said, "But whenever there is a war, the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty will be organized into groups, and there will be a wartime 'marching road' formation. At that time, many marching road managers (equivalent to the equivalent of marching road generals) will be needed. (Commander of Frontline Operations of the Field Army). At that time, it was the best time for my father to make a comeback."
"What Sanlang said coincides with what I am my father." Qin Shubao nodded and smiled and said, "You three brothers are all serving in the palace, so you must be well-informed. From today on, you will all pay close attention to military developments. , report back to me at any time.”
"Yes, father!" The three brothers agreed with a hug.
"Especially Sanlang." Qin Shubao said, "You work beside the emperor every day, and the news you hear is the fastest and most accurate. As long as you don't leak the secrets of the imperial court, you will not be punished by the emperor, but if you have news, Be sure to inform me as soon as possible. Don’t let your father down!"
"Yes, father." Qin Mubai accepted the promise with his hands raised, thinking: Father, he is undoubtedly the most trustworthy person now.
After the family dinner, Qin Shubao was in high spirits and asked Qin Mubai to play the pipa for the family to entertain themselves. He said that he did not expect that all of Saburo's apprentices would be famous in the capital now - that blind girl Yao'er's name has even been heard by her father who is hiding at home. She is a good girl. Also, why did Wu Meiniang go into business? She is my Qin family's daughter-in-law after all, so why did she really go out and show her face? Become a businessman?
Qin Mubai didn't say much. After his two brothers left, he explained the reason to Qin Shubao.
After hearing this, Qin Shubao just shook his head: "It's all God who is playing tricks on people."
Qin Mubai chewed the meaning of his father's words carefully, and always felt that he was not so satisfied with Wu Meiniang as his daughter-in-law. It is not surprising to think about it. In the minds of the Tang people, businessmen are always lowly and have no status. Just like in modern society. In the story, the son of an official married an uneducated girl from a remote rural area. Although the slogan of freedom of love was loud, some people took it very seriously. In the Tang Dynasty, an era where family background was valued, Not to mention.
"If things turn around in the future, it would be better for her to stop doing business. Although my Qin family is not rich, we are not short of money and can support her," Qin Shubao said.
"Well, now that Mei Niang has not come here, the child will make a decision on this matter by then. Don't worry, father." Qin Mubai could only reply like this, using a delaying tactic first. More than a thousand Due to the generation gap of many years, many concepts are deeply ingrained in Qin Shubao's mind. Although he is a relatively enlightened father, it is unrealistic for him to suddenly change the concepts he has formed over decades.
"Okay, let's not talk anymore." Qin Shubao smiled and patted Qin Mubai on the shoulder, "Sanlang, you are busy now and rarely go home once. Have a good rest at home and spend more time with your mother and little sister. These three months
, they want to harm you."
"My child understands." Qin Mubai smiled, "I haven't practiced martial arts and marksmanship with my father for three months, and my child also misses it very much. I heard from my two brothers that my father studied Tai Chi and Qin Qiang at home all day long, and he must have made great progress. My child must have made great progress.
