Chapter 712 Clever and clumsy
After dinner, in the warm study room of Jiang's west courtyard, a family of six sat in a circle around the desk. Jiang Ling, who usually doesn't like talking, talks endlessly today about what he did in the Yulinwei Camp in the past half month: what time to get up in the morning, what to go to bed at night, what to eat for three meals a day, how to practice, who to compete with, how to lose, how to win...
The family of four listened with relish, and Xiao Yueer gnawed the "tough grinding stick" and also gnawed it. Mr. Jiang Er despised the sound of his younger son's sucking so annoying. He pulled out his little fingers that were so wet that he chewed, and wiped them clean, held them in his hand and pinched them.
Xiao Yue'er couldn't pull out her little hand, and she looked up at her mother with grievance, hoping that she would help her knock her father away. As a result, her mother was looking at her brother and ignored him; he turned to look at her two sisters, and the sisters also looked at her brother and ignored him. The ignored Xiao Yue'er rushed straight to the vital point, "Brother."
Jiang Ling stopped and asked patiently, "Yue'er, what's wrong?"
The family's eyes finally fell on her. Xiao Yue'er lowered her little head and stared at the little hand held by her father with dark eyes, "Dad."
Why is Daddy younger brother? A short Jiang Liu jumped out of the chair and walked around her father, and found that he was rubbing his brother's fat hands. Jiang Liu suddenly felt relieved that he had finally escaped from the devil's claws. Seeing that his father was hard to rub, Jiang Liu couldn't help but want to transform into a demon, "Dad, is my brother's hand easy to pinch?"
Mr. Jiang raised his chin, "Isn't there one more?"
Seeing that Sister Liu's devil's claws reached towards her, Xiao Yue'er immediately said, "Mom."
Mr. Jiang raised his eyebrows and smiled, "This kid doesn't talk much, but has a lot of sensibility."
"Yue'er's gums are white, and she's going to have teeth again." Yazheng wiped the saliva from her son's mouth, rescued his little hands from her husband, and ordered the wet nurse to take him to feed him and coax him to sleep.
Mr. Jiang had no small hands and itchy palms. When Liu'er grew up, he couldn't rub them. So he simply took advantage of the table and pulled his wife's fingers and rubbed them.
Although the children could not see their husbands' movements, Yazheng's face was still a little red, but even so, she couldn't bear to take her hands back.
Jiang Ling was also itchy. He looked at his third sister and held back.
Mr. Jiang Er held his wife's hand and agreed with his son's approach, "It's right for you to do this. If someone provokes you, you will fight them. It's normal to lose, and winning is your ability. The more you win, the greater your reputation will be. When your reputation is passed back to Zuowuwei, you will be much smoother when you go back to Suzhou to do things."
Jiang Ling replied, "I think so too."
Jiang Muyan asked his father for advice, "Father, Brother Ling performed so well in the military camp. Can he be named a 6th or 7th rank captain or deputy lieutenant?"
The military generals of the Great Zhou Dynasty were divided into thirty-first ranks from the ninth ranks of Rong to the first ranks of cavalry, among which were lieutenants from the fifth ranks and ranks above the fifth ranks. Jiang Muyan felt that if Jiang Ling had an official position, it would be much more convenient when he returned to Suzhou to do things.
Jiang Ling did not want to make his father embarrassed and took the initiative to explain, "Third sister, only Ding can be named a military officer if he has made military achievements in joining the army."
"Ding Man" refers to a man who should undertake corvee service. According to the regulations of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Ding Man is "Ding" at the age of twenty and "old" at the age of sixty. Jiang Ling is thirteen this year, and he is still far from being twenty.
Mr. Jiang Er said, "Jiang Jinzong made great achievements in military affairs and was named the second-rank general of the auxiliary state. He is the highest among the commanders of the ten guards of the imperial guards. As soon as Ling'er entered the military camp, no matter how outstanding the military officers were, he could not surpass him."
Yazhengdao, "Yan'er thinks it is easier for Ling'er to act after being appointed as an official? But if Ling'er's official position is much lower than that of Jiang Jinzong, it is better to act than not to be appointed as an official."
Jiang Muyan was ashamed, "It's her daughter who is shallow."
Jiang Liu smiled and grabbed his sister's hand, "I'm shallow too. Since it's not appropriate to be appointed as an official, we won't think about it."
"You are wrong. It's not appropriate to be appointed as a military officer, not to be appointed as an official." Mr. Jiang Er looked at his wife and children one by one.
Jiang Liu, the best man, immediately asked with bright eyes, "What other official can he be granted a military general? Daddy, tell me!"
Then Mr. Jiang said slowly: "Qin——"
Ah, ha? Yazheng and the three little boys of the Jiang family were stunned. Jiang Ling came to his senses and hurriedly said, "Dad, don't take risks for your son. Long live if you get angry..."
"Dad knows." Mr. Jiang Er interrupted his son, "Dad is not stupid, of course he won't be stupid and he will go and ask Long Live to be the imperial envoy. Dad has his own way to slowly draw him."
Ya was looking at her extremely confident husband, proud and worried, and her heart couldn't help but thump. Jiang Muyan frowned. She felt that her father's decision was too risky. Does the uncle know his plan? What did the uncle say?
Jiang Liuze clenched his fists with bright eyes, "The identity of the imperial envoy is so suitable for my brother. Daddy, you are so amazing. Why didn't my daughter expect it!!!"
Thinking that when his brother arrived in Suzhou, he threw out the imperial edict at a critical moment and looked at the other party, Jiang Liu's face turned red with excitement. He was so handsome!
Mr. Jiang proudly raised his chin, "You can't think of this idea. Only your father can think of Quan Kang'an, and only I can do it!"
"Well, Daddy is so awesome!" Jiang Liu clenched his fists excitedly, "Dad, if my brother becomes the imperial envoy, will he send guards to protect my brother?"
"This... can be there." Mr. Jiang remembered this little daughter in his heart. Thinking of the opportunity to act in front of Long Live in the future, he reminded his family, "I didn't even tell my elder brother about this, we only know the five of us. Don't tell me, otherwise you can't do it."
The uncle really didn't know that Jiang Muyan was worried and deeply felt that she could not let her father do whatever she wanted. She looked at her mother and saw the same worries as her on her mother's face.
Yazheng advised, "It would be best if the Second Master can get an imperial edict for Ling'er. However, even if he can't make a decree for Long Live, he will not be in vain to let Long Live know that Ling'er has the will to serve the country with a loyal army."
Jiang Muyan nodded quickly, imitating her mother's way of speaking, and then persuaded her, "Mother is right. With your intelligence and understanding of long live temperament, you will definitely not backfire."
Jiang Liu had full confidence in his father, "Dad can't."
"Of course not! You don't have to worry, I will act according to the opportunity." After saying that, Mr. Jiang told his son, "This is done for your father, just practice it in the camp with peace of mind."
"Yes." Jiang Ling responded and advised, "Planning depends on people and accomplishing things is in heaven. If you do everything you can, the rest depends on God's will."
"I understand this truth for my father." Mr. Jiang Er was a little impatient and pulled his wife to stand up, "It's getting late, so I'll take a break tonight."
