Kneel down and beg to return to the field

Is He Lin really as reckless and stupid as he appears?Of course not.

In the seven years of war in northern Xinjiang, reckless people cannot survive on the battlefield, and it is even more impossible for stupid people to get a half-job in the Dingbei Army.So, everything he did just now was actually intentional.

Although the rumors about He Zhikefu had spread in the capital, to be honest, in the eyes of those who crawled out of the dead in the Dingbei Army, it really wasn't a big deal.Just like what Wei said, their fate is hard, and they can escape nine deaths on the battlefield, so how can they be frightened by those mere rumors?So He Lin prevented Wei Lai and He Zhi from having a deep friendship, and Na Kefu's rumors actually only took up a very small factor.

Unlike Wei Lai, who came from a poor background and achieved his current status purely through military exploits, He Lin actually came from a family of officials.Although no one in his family is in a high position, he also knows what he should know about the affairs in the officialdom and court.At the same time, he could naturally see that Wei Lai's temperament was really not suitable for dealing with those old foxes in the court.

He Zhi's father is the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, not to mention the high position and authority, just because he has been able to sit in this position for many years, it can be known that this person is not easy to get along with.If Wei Lai really climbed up to the He family, I am afraid that the future will not be easy.

What's more, there is Marshal Wei standing behind Wei Lai, and she herself seems to be a person who has no intention of going to court, and she doesn't need He Shangshu's help, so it's better not to do such a loss-making business.

On the way back to the camp, He Lin was still giggling as usual. Seeing Wei Lai was unhappy, he went up to make fun of him: "Oh, Xiao Wei, are you really angry? Could it be that you really fell in love with Miss He, blame me Broke your good deed?"

Wei Lai was a little annoyed when he heard the words, his handsome face turned red, but he glared at He Lin angrily: "You know that I don't mean that, but why are you saying those words? You can't stay with a good girl. A little bit of morality. I wanted to explain, but after you make such a fuss, it’s useless to say anything.”

He Lin shrugged, with a nonchalant expression on his face: "If it's useless, then it's useless, anyway, you don't want to marry her as a wife, and there may not be a chance to see her again in the future. If she is not happy, she will be unhappy, what does it matter?" .”

After all, Wei Lai is different from people like He Lin, not to mention that she has also experienced those gossips, just because of her status as a woman, she will be more considerate to He Zhi.Kefu's reputation is not easy to memorize, but He Zhi has recited this reputation for more than a year or two. During this period, she has encountered cold-eyed ridicule, and she knows it without thinking about it. Why do they need to add salt to people's wounds?

Thinking about this matter really makes me feel suffocated, but I also feel that it doesn't make sense with someone like He Lin.Seeing that the military camp was approaching, Wei Lai gave He Lin an angry look, and didn't bother to talk nonsense with him, and strode back to the camp.

He Lin pouted helplessly, feeling that Wei Lai didn't know good people, but he didn't mean to explain.The few people who acted as the background board along the way looked at Wei Lai and He Lin, all with puzzled faces.

※※※

Since Mrs. He and He Shangshu mentioned the matter of signing the document and Wei Lai, He Shangshu really took a fancy to it.As the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, it is easy for him to investigate an official in the court. In two days, he investigated Wei Lai's background and his experiences over the years.As for Wei Lai's character, he also asked others, and the reviews from all parties were good, so he felt a little more satisfied.

That afternoon, He Shangshu returned home early from the office of officials.There are not many government affairs today, and he also wanted to take the opportunity to deal with family affairs, so he planned to talk about Wei Lai's affairs with his wife.After all, her daughter is not young anymore, if it is suitable, she should also get in touch with Wei Lai to finalize the marriage.

When He Shangshu returned home, Mrs. He had just woken up from a nap, and was lazily flipping through the ledger that the housekeeper had just delivered.Seeing He Shangshu coming back suddenly, he got up to greet him, and was also very surprised: "Why did the master come back so early?!"

He Shangshu stepped into the room, and then took off his heavy official robe under the service of Mrs. He, and changed into a light casual uniform: "I have nothing to do in the imperial court today, so I came back earlier. By the way, a little while ago You told me in the past that Wei Lai of the Dingbei Army, I have had someone check it out, and the reputation is pretty good."

This remark was a sign, and He Shangshu was about to have a good chat with Mrs. He about Wei Lai, but Mrs. He's complexion suddenly sank.He Shangshu, who had just picked up his teacup and was about to drink tea, was taken aback when he saw this, and subconsciously asked, "What's wrong?"

When Wei Lai was mentioned, Mrs. He seemed a little unhappy, so she said, "That Wei Lai, I think it's better to forget it." After speaking, seeing He Shangshu looking at her with tea, it seemed that she wanted her to tell the reason, so she went I had no choice but to continue: "Two days ago, I asked Uncle He to check. She was originally from the Dingbei Army, so she returned to Beijing and couldn't find anything. But Uncle He found out that the day Zhi'er met her in Jingming Lake, it was A group of them from the Northern Army are recruiting prostitutes on that Jingming Lake... How can I rest assured that Zhi'er will marry her with such a person?!"

He Shangshu was also taken aback when he heard this. What he heard was that Wei Laijie was in good health, and there had never been any bad rumors.But having said that, Wei Lai is 23 years old, and he is not yet married. He Shangshu thinks that even if things are true to what Madam said, it is understandable.As long as her character is not bad, the big deal is to let her daughter adjust and teach her well in the future.

Seeing that He Shangshu didn't take it seriously, Mrs. He was a little annoyed, but she also knew that it would be difficult to persuade He Shangshu to change her mind based on this point.This is the difference between men and women. These things that women care about are not a big deal to men. Even if they are viewed by the standards of future son-in-law, it is not an intolerable fault to be more romantic.

Sure enough, He Shangshu took a sip of tea calmly, and said lightly: "This is just a trifle, and it's no big deal if a man is a bit flirtatious. Wei Lai has a strong character, a kind personality, and good ability. Marshal Wei Yan of the Dingbei Army valued it very much. The population of the family is also simple, only one mother is still in the hometown, if Zhi'er marries, life will be easy."

If the point of "fairy" is ignored, Mrs. He will probably think that Wei Lai is a good candidate after hearing He Shangshu's evaluation.But there was a thorn in her heart first, even if He Shangshu praised Wei Lai as a flower, she still couldn't like it, and she always felt like a thorn in her throat.

It's just that He Shangshu is in charge of all important matters in this family. If he really likes Wei Lai, then even if Mrs. He is not happy, there is no room for rebuttal.I was anxious in my heart, but I heard the maid outside reporting that the young lady had come.

Thinking that her daughter has always had ideas, Mrs. He was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "Please come in, Miss."

He Zhi went out for a trip, although the process was a little bit unsatisfactory, but when she came back, she didn't forget to buy her mother's favorite pastries from Hexiangzhai.But when it was delivered, he saw his father was there, he saluted and said with a smile: "Why did Daddy come back so early today?"

He Shangshu has always been doting on this well-behaved and sensible daughter, and his serious face has softened a lot. Hearing this, he said with a smile: "I came back earlier today, and I have something to discuss with your mother. Why, just came back from going out? "

Without asking what happened, He Zhi just nodded and smiled and said, "Yuqing is back, and asked her daughter out. No, when she came back, she bought some pastries from Hexiangzhai, and she just sent them to her parents to taste. "Speaking with a slight tilt of his head to signal, Xi Qiu also handed the cake in his hand to the maid who was standing beside him, and let her put it on a plate and serve it up.

Mrs. He saw that He Shangshu didn't seem to intend to mention Wei Lai's matter, and she was even more anxious. After thinking about it, she said to her daughter: "Zhi'er, your father showed you another person... Mother wants to ask did you mean."

This topic came too suddenly, even though He Zhi had a calm temper, she couldn't help being taken aback.For some reason, she remembered the signature of Lingquan Temple that day, and the figure that flashed in her mind when her mother asked about it.Pursing her lips slightly, He Zhi asked, "Who is it?"

When Mrs. He spoke, He Shangshu glanced at her from the corner of his eyes, but he didn't stop him after all.Hearing this at this time, he took the initiative to say: "It's a young general in the Dingbei Army, named Wei Lai, and he has a good personality."

Wei Lai?It was really Wei Lai!He Zhi couldn't help but twitch her head slightly, feeling a little dazed, and feeling a little inexplicable, she froze in place for a moment.

"My lord, this person is not good. I even satirized Miss Kefu today, so I can't let her be your aunt." It was Xi Qiu who spoke. Come and be implicated.

The matter of Kefu can almost be regarded as a knot in the hearts of the He family.When He Shangshu heard this, his complexion sank immediately, and his impression of Wei Lai suddenly fell from good to negative.

As soon as He Zhi looked up, she saw her father's ugly face, and she didn't know what to think, so she opened her mouth to explain for Wei Lai: "Father, don't be angry, it's just a misunderstanding, and she didn't say that."

Mrs. He didn't care about this, she was not pleasing to Wei Lai, and Xi Qiu's words added fuel to the fire.Seeing that her husband had a turning point, but her daughter was still struggling, she quickly smeared and said, "Zhi'er, don't be fooled by others. That kid is not a good person, he just went to find someone in Jingming Lake that day. Those dubious women."

In fact, after the explanation was spoken, He Zhi herself felt a little baffled, but since she had already explained it once, she might as well say a few more words, and said helplessly, "Mother, she never entered the cabin that day."

The author has something to say: So Miss He, how do you know that Wei Lai has never entered the cabin...
