Chapter 372 Volume C: Youshi’s daughter
Seeing the young man in green shirt and long robe appearing outside the gate, looking up shyly, He Zhisheng winked at Feng Ziying with a mysterious look on his face, and then said: "Then Brother Fool will take his leave first, and I will wait for Brother Xian to come in the evening. "
In just one month, the relationship between Feng Ziying and He Zhisheng quickly became closer, and Feng Ziying also had a detailed understanding of He Zhisheng's situation.
Shoushan Bo He's eldest son from the second concubine of the He family, a very embarrassing status.
Fortunately, his biological mother was his father's favorite concubine and gave birth to him before the eldest wife had even entered the family, so his aunt didn't like him very much.
Fortunately, his mother has always been quite favored. Under the influence of her skills in bed, his father first donated him a sixth-grade military attache, and then used his connections to let him fill the vacancy and enter the Beijing camp.
He was not willing to wait for death in the Beijing camp, so he gritted his teeth and found connections and went directly to the farthest town of Gansu.
I thought that after all I was a martial artist, I had practiced martial arts since I was a child. Wen could write a few words with a pen, and Wu could wield a sword and a gun. Now that I came to this Gansu town, I could at least do some defense or Be a guerrilla.
He never thought that it would not be so simple in this dilapidated Gansu town. Even if he spent money, he could only get a thousand generals. It took him a few more years to get a guard officer, and it was not until the year before last that he could get a job. Go to the position of guerrilla general and guard the key location of the high platform.
After all the hardships, he finally made great contributions in this battle, and now he has the hope of being promoted.
According to convention, a new position must serve two consecutive terms in this position before being promoted. For example, He Zhisheng must serve two terms for six years in the position of guerrilla general, and he must be excellent in the assessment before he is eligible to be included. Promotion object.
Positions above the garrison level must be submitted to the Military Selection Department of the Ministry of War for registration before being appointed, and for positions above the rank of staff general, they must undergo a joint assessment by the Military Selection Department of the Ministry of War and the Metropolitan Procuratorate before being appointed. Military officers only have the right to recommend, not to appoint or remove.
But these are all regular promotions, and you need to have a vacant position to be able to hope for it. Those who have made great achievements in battle are not included in this category. There is no seniority limit, and you can also be promoted on an exceptional basis.
He Zhisheng has made great contributions this time. Although he is still young in terms of seniority, due to the situation in Gansu Town, he should be sure to be promoted to general.
Especially in contrast to the poor performance of Deputy Commander-in-Chief Ma Xia, there may be a chance to give Deputy Commander-in-Chief a try.
Even if it doesn't work for a while, it can lay a good foundation for being promoted to deputy general in the future.
Feng Ziying ignored He Zhisheng's mysterious expression, said goodbye to He Zhisheng, waited until He Zhisheng left, and then walked over slowly.
I only know that this girl’s surname is You, and she is a girl from the You Mansion on Shuncheng South Street. However, Feng Ziying also found out that the You family master was also an official in the capital. He once served as the temple minister in Taipu Temple and returned to the official position more than ten years ago. In his hometown, because his first wife died young, he married another step-brother.
This step-sister is a widow. Her dead husband was once a general in Gansu Town. He was addicted to alcohol and gambling in his early years. One day, he fell drunk and died from a horse. He owed a huge debt and left behind a wife and two daughters. It was unsustainable, but fortunately, the master of the You family didn't dislike it, so he married the You family to fill the house and pay off the debts for her family.
But within a few years, Mr. You also died, and some members of the You family wanted to drive away the oil bottle mother and daughter so that they could occupy the only remaining house in the You family. Fortunately, the general also had some skills in the army. It was popularity that allowed the You family and their daughter to survive.
This woman has quite a masculine personality, she is bold and generous, and she doesn’t know where she learned her martial arts skills. Feng Ziying also sparred with her several times, but she was defeated within ten moves. It is estimated that the other party still restrained herself, and Feng Ziying will be fine. Er asked the other party to practice martial arts with him.
“I’ve met Brother Feng.” This girl came over to greet him, and Feng Ziying also returned the greeting: “Brother You Xian is here.”
Feng Ziying never pointed it out, allowing the other party to dress up as a man, and did not ask the other party's maiden name, but only asked the other party's age, which was a few months younger than her.
This girl from the You family is very good at swordsmanship. Even though Feng Ziying switched from a large spear to a narrow-edged knife and sparred with her opponent several times, she could not gain the slightest advantage. This also made Feng Ziying, who had practiced martial arts hard for seven or eight years, a little bit. Frustrated.
This Liu Xianglian is just fine. She is a master of the Kongtong sect and is several years older than herself. How come this little-known girl, who is younger than herself, can defeat her so easily?
Seeing Feng Ziying who was sweating profusely, he was a little discouraged. This "brother from the You family" understood the situation and put down his sword to comfort Feng Ziying: "Brother Feng, I started practicing swordsmanship with my master in the mountains when I was five years old. I suffered a lot. Later, I came back when I was older, and even after I came back, I never stopped practicing swordsmanship. Brother Feng, your skills with swords and guns are still based on killing enemies in battle. This type of fighting alone is really not suitable. Besides, Brother Feng, you are a scholar. Academics are the most important thing, this kind of martial arts is just a trivial matter, there is no need to worry about it at all."
“Hey, you started practicing swordsmanship when you were five years old, and you still go to the mountain to practice swordsmanship? Which mountain?” Feng Ziying asked with a smile.
This girl always wears men's clothes when she comes here, and she looks heroic, especially the alien blood between her eyebrows.
“Kongtong.” The girl from the You family hesitated for a moment, but finally answered.
“Kongtong?!” This surprised Feng Ziying. Isn’t this the same sect as Liu Xianglian? Why do you feel that the opponent's swordsmanship is completely different from Liu Xianglian's?
Seeing that Feng Ziying was quite surprised, the girl from the You family pursed her lips and said quite proudly: "We in Kongtong are a major swordsmanship sect with many branches, but we never like to show off outside. My master doesn't allow me to talk about the sect to the outside world. , so I ask Brother Feng to keep it a secret for me."
"Then since you have acquired such good martial arts, why do you still want to return home?" Feng Ziying asked curiously: "You can travel to the ends of the world with your sword and live a free life as a knight-errant."
The girl from the You family laughed out loud, obviously amused by Feng Ziying's somewhat childish question, "Brother Feng, are you afraid that you have read too many novels? Can you conquer the world with a sword if you have martial arts? Is it possible to conquer the world with a sword? Tianya doesn’t eat, wear or spend money? It’s still comfortable. When you don’t have enough to eat, do you steal or rob? Where have you met such a ranger? Now the imperial court even goes out with swords and knives There are strict regulations, and ordinary people are not allowed to carry swords or knives at all. Except for those in the government and the military, if anyone else dares to violate the prohibition, they will be sentenced to exile."
Feng Ziying scratched her head in embarrassment.
What he said just now was purely based on the template of the martial arts novels written by Jin Yong and Yun Zhongyue that he read in his previous life. If you think about it carefully, the government is paying close attention to the refugees these days. How can you be allowed to wait like this? "Ranger" wanders around with swords, fearing that you will be caught and brought to justice before you even step out of the county.
Feng Ziying felt that it was quite fun to talk to this girl in her free time. Chai Ke and Yang He were still worried about the army's pension and reward money, and the decree from the court had not yet come down, but it is estimated that in the past two days It's time to arrive.
“Ziying!”
Just as he was having fun with the girl, he heard Zheng Chongjian's voice coming from outside the door, "You are so comfortable. Hurry, Mr. Chai and Mr. Yang are going to summon you."
Hearing that Chai Ke and Yang He wanted to see her, Feng Ziying guessed that there must be an order from the court, so she nodded and said goodbye to the girl of the You family.
“Brother Feng, our family will be moving out in a few days, and I’m here to say goodbye to you.” The girl from the You family nodded happily.
"Oh? Your family is moving?" Feng Ziying was quite surprised. I have never heard of moving these days. Unlike modern times, people basically live in one place all their lives. Men either join the military or business, or To study and become an official, a woman must either get married, otherwise it is rare for a woman to leave her hometown.
“Well, our family has no relatives here, and life is not easy now, so my mother is going to seek refuge with relatives.” The girl from the You family nodded, seeming to be hesitant, “Are you going back to Beijing too?”
"Well, I will definitely go back to Beijing, but I don't know when. Are you also going to the capital to visit relatives?" Feng Ziying reacted and said in surprise.
"Yeah." The girl from the You family nodded shyly, without her previous cheerfulness and generosity.
"Well, my family lives in the Feng Mansion in Fengcheng Hutong. If you come to Beijing, you can come to my house and talk." Feng Ziying also nodded. He did not expect that the You family girl and her family were actually visiting relatives in the capital. It seemed that it was Na You Relatives at home.
After saying goodbye, Feng Ziying followed Zheng Chongjian to the residence of Chai Ke and Yang He. The two did not live in the General Military Mansion, but chose a wealthy businessman's mansion in the city to live temporarily.
The wealthy businessman was overjoyed when he heard that the Governor and the Yushi of Youqiandu were going to live there. He hurriedly vacated the house and almost sent several of his concubines into the house. Fortunately, Chai Ke and Yang Hedu It's not good to take this bite, otherwise...
"Ziying, it seems that this girl has some interest in you. If you are interested, you might as well take her as my concubine while your father is here." Zheng Chongjian said carelessly: "It's just that there are many foreign races here in Ganzhou. If you want to take them in, As a concubine, it is best to obtain the consent of Master Chai and Master Yang."
Feng Ziying couldn't laugh or cry, "Dazhang, where are you talking about? Why did I ever have such intention? This woman once saved me, so she is kind to me. She is also a decent woman from a good family. How can she be as unbearable as you say?" ?”
"Really? I asked, this girl does not have You family blood, her mother has foreign blood, and her biological father seems to be a guerrilla general in Xuanfu Town, so you'd better be careful..." Zheng Chongjian obviously I care about Feng Ziying very much and am deeply afraid that Feng Ziying will go wrong on such matters.
