Chapter 651
Chapter 651: Fanwai Qin Yixin (8)
Li Baolu pushed open the door of the study, and Gu Jingyun’s gaze from the window shifted slightly to the book in his hand that hadn’t turned a page for a long time.
Li Baolu hugged his neck directly from behind, and asked with a smile, “Whose child do you think Niuniu has a crush on?”
Gu Jingyun stared at the book still, turned a page and said, “Not interested.”
Li Baolu turned her head and kissed him on the cheek, “Don’t be angry, next time we go out to play, how about not taking them?”
Gu Jingyun snorted, dropped the book, and pulled his wife into his arms, “Speaking of which, what can she ask me for?”
Li Baolu knew that he had agreed, and happily put a kiss on his face, “She fell in love with Li Jiming, the nephew of the Chonghua County Lord…”
…
“Li Jiming, Mr. Gu is looking for you. He asked you to go to the pavilion on the mountain to find him.”
“Are you lying to me,” Li Jiming couldn’t help blinking, “Mr. Gu knows me?”
“I don’t know, just let you go.”
Although Li Jiming didn’t know the authenticity, he immediately put away his things and ran to the back mountain. When he climbed up to the pavilion and saw Gu Jingyun sitting in the pavilion making tea, he couldn’t help but feel a chill on his back. He straightened his clothes and confirmed After there was no rudeness, he stepped forward to greet him, “The student pays respects to Mr. Gu.”
Gu Jingyun looked up at him, nodded after a while and said, “Sit down.”
“Yes.” Seeing him, Li Jiming was more nervous than seeing his future mother-in-law, so he only dared to sit on the stone bench with half his buttocks.
Gu Jingyun poured him a cup of tea and asked, “Are you sixteen this year?”
“Yes,” Li Jiming took the teacup with both hands and replied solemnly, “I will graduate at the end of next summer.”
“You didn’t participate in the imperial examinations, did you want to pursue martial arts, do business, or just want to spend time leisurely?”
“The student wants to join the army,” Li Jiming has come to his senses. He is not familiar with Mr. Gu. Of course Mr. Gu will not ask him such deep questions, that is for Qin Yixin. He replied with a heart: “I have discussed with my father. After I graduate, I will first seek the post of bodyguard, and I will refer to it when I take the martial arts test in the next year. If I get a ranking, then the road ahead will be better.”
“After the martial arts test, do you plan to be a bodyguard in the capital, or to train in the army?”
“Of course he went to the army.” He did not study the art of war to be a bodyguard, but to be able to lead a party and defend his family and the country.
“Then it’s better to go to the Western Mountain Camp, or join the Imperial Army, and then talk about it after the martial arts test.” Gu Jingyun sipped his tea and said, “Although you are the heir of the Chengjun Prince’s Mansion, but you want to seek a guard position in the palace, at most you are only third-class. Guard, patrolling the palace and guarding the door, what can you learn in a year?”
County Prince Cheng and Li Jiming of course also knew this, but their family couldn’t speak at all in the army, and naturally they couldn’t get involved.
It is no problem for him to go to Xishan Camp to train for a month or two during the summer vacation. Many children of generals in Beijing spend their vacations like this.
The generals of the Western Mountain Camp can just send a general flag and they can slip through them for a month or two, but if they stay there for a year, they still need to join the army, and it is impossible to truly integrate into the army.
Especially since he has royal blood.
Therefore, it is not necessarily good to be born in the royal family. At least Wei Mo and others have a much broader and smoother way out than him, not only because his family is a family of military generals, he has connections and resources, but also because he will not be involved with the royal family. relation.
In general, the royal family will always leave a bad impression when it comes to military power.
Gu Jingyun put down the teacup and said, “I can recommend it for you. The Western Mountain Camp is still the forbidden army. After you go back, discuss it with your father and choose a place to tell me.”
Li Jiming opened his mouth wide. He didn’t expect that what he and his father could not ask for would be so simple with Gu Jingyun.
He was stunned for a while before he came back to his senses. He was entangled in his heart, and after a while hesitantly shook his head and said, “Mr. Gu, me, the matter between me and Miss Qin has not been written yet…”
So if you were so unnecessary to him because of Miss Qin, Li Jiming felt regretful in his heart, but he still shook his head and rejected the honey given by Gu Jingyun.
Gu Jingyun said with a light smile: “It’s not entirely for the sake of distraction.”
He got up and walked to the pavilion, looked down at the academy and the capital at the foot of the mountain, and said softly, “I have seen your homework, you have great insights in military affairs, and today you are a generous person, and you will not be dismissed just because you are from a clan. Be on guard, on the contrary, your majesty will be happier if there are talents in the clan.”
He turned to look at him, “As you said, you and Yixin haven’t had a word yet, and our woman won’t be so rushing.”
So I do it because I admire you personally.
Li Jiming looked up at Gu Jingyun’s serious eyes, and couldn’t help but get excited, “Mr. Gu…”
“Even if the elders are interested in this marriage, if Yixin doesn’t agree, I’m afraid it won’t happen in the end,” Gu Jingyun didn’t seem to see his excitement, shook his head slightly and smiled: “Lady, you still need to work hard.”
This means that the elders of the Qin family are quite satisfied with him, but Qin Yixin doesn’t seem to like him?
Li Jiming thought of what Qin Yixin said that day, and couldn’t help asking: “Qin, does Miss Qin like me?”
“That’s not true, but she has a problem and I’m worried you won’t be able to tolerate it?”
“Is it cleanliness?”
Gu Jingyun nodded slightly.
Li Jiming breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, “Mr. Gu, although the students are informal, they also love cleanliness.”
Gu Jingyun pointedly said: “Cleanliness not only refers to eating and living, it includes more. I also have a cleanliness addiction, and I don’t like to be touched or approached. I will never use things that others have used. Yixin’s disease is lighter than mine.”
“Except for the personal things, everything else is fine,” Gu Jingyun raised his eyes and looked at him: “For example, if her future husband is touched by others, she will never use it again. You may endure this. ?”
Li Jiming took a while to understand Gu Jingyun’s implication, and the sigh in his heart was almost relieved. It turned out that Qin Yi was worried about this.
He hurriedly shook his head and said, “My father didn’t take a concubine to take over the house either. Don’t worry, Mr. Gu, I will keep myself clean in the future.”
The corner of Gu Jingyun’s mouth twitched lightly, and said sarcastically, “Gu Tanhua said the same thing back then.”
Li Jiming raised his eyebrows thickly. It took him a long time to realize who Gu Tanhua was talking about in Gu Jingyun’s mouth. He couldn’t help shivering and lowered his head.
Gu Jingyun got up and said, “The Qin family won’t embarrass others, but if you make a promise, you’d better keep it. My Qin and Gu family won’t embarrass you.”
After saying that, he turned around and left.
Dongfeng, who was standing on the mountain road, hurried forward to clean up the tea set, saluted Li Jiming and left.
Li Jiming scratched his head and muttered, “I never thought about taking a concubine.”
Gu Jingyun moved very quickly. Within two days, Wan Peng and Wei Yingjie went to the Ministry of War to find Prince Cheng, suggesting that if Li Jiming joined the Imperial Army or the Xishan Camp, he would get a position.
Don’t fight, the forbidden army should start as a small soldier, and when you go to the Xishan camp, you can be a small flag.
But entering the forbidden army is directly entering the vanguard battalion, and the Xishan camp is directly entering the scout battalion. These are all elite troops.
Although Prince Cheng had also approached people from the Imperial Army and Xishan Camp to put his son in, but because of his sensitive identity, no one dared to make his own decisions. Now Wan Peng and Wei Yingjie came to the door in person, Prince Cheng. But I don’t think it’s because of my own movement.
Therefore, he sent the person away almost in a panic, and then went home to find the princess, wanting to ask if it was because of her leaving.
The princess answered him with a pair of big, confused eyes.
Then they knew the problem was with the son.
“Is it because Mr. Gu helped you go?” Prince Cheng asked in surprise.
Li Jiming nodded, “Because I haven’t answered him about the last time he asked me, I didn’t expect him to move so fast, and he helped me with it without waiting for my answer.”
County King Cheng said thoughtfully: “First is the lure, and finally the warning. This is to make you think clearly before answering. If you refuse at this time, he will not blame you.”
Li Jiming blushed and said, “But father, I never thought about taking a concubine.”
“If you can have children, I naturally don’t care if you take concubines or not, but what if you don’t have children?” Chengjun Wang frowned and said, “Their Qin family has always been difficult, and I only have a son like you. Since the matter can’t be said, it’s better not to accept it. The Qin and Gu family’s methods are not gentle, just look at Gu Huaijin and know that he is a lunatic now.”
The Duke of Cheng is naturally very willing to marry Qin’s family, but he is not willing to bet on the heir. Since they may not be able to do it, they can’t lie to people.
In the end, he hurt others and himself like Gu Huaijin.
Princess Chengjun looked at her unhappy son, her eyes were red when she saw that he was always optimistic and happy, and she couldn’t help but feel a pain in her heart.
She stretched out her hand and pushed him, “You go back first, don’t answer Mr. Gu beforehand, wait until I have discussed it with your father.”
Li Jiming nodded slightly and turned to leave.
“What is there to discuss about this, don’t you want to hug your grandson?” Chengjun Wang said when his son went out: “My son’s feelings for Miss Qin are getting deeper and deeper, and if they continue at this time, wait for their feelings to deepen, until It will be difficult to stop it in time.”
My son understands himself, and now his son doesn’t have any deep feelings for Qin Yixin, so he will be more concerned about them, willing to listen to their opinions, but let them continue to develop…
The Duke of Cheng couldn’t sit still, “Why don’t you go and reject the Qin family tomorrow, and it’s okay to start as a guard, although the future will be worse…”
Princess Chengjun twisted him and said, “You know they won’t be able to give birth to a son?”
“Aren’t I worried? We only have one son, and the Qin family’s heir is notoriously difficult. What if he doesn’t come out in his life, if he really doesn’t accept a concubine?” Prince Chengjun said: “And if you accept a concubine, you will be untrustworthy. I don’t doubt at all, if we let our son sleep with other women, Gu Qinghe will definitely bring her cousin home, reconcile with his son, and then bear Gu Qinghe’s anger?”
“You’re thinking too badly,” Princess Chengjun said, “I think Miss Qin’s health is very good, and…”
She gritted her teeth and said, “Although the grandson is important, the son is more important.”
Chengjun Wang stayed, “I didn’t say that my son is not important.”
“Didn’t you see that your son was about to cry just now? He felt uncomfortable, but he endured it because of us. Our family doesn’t have those messy concubines, and his aunt… So he didn’t even think about it. Concubine, he didn’t think about why he didn’t reply directly to Gu Qinghe, but he came back and asked us? It’s not all for us.”
