Rebirth of the noble daughter

Chapter 46
I saw Xiao Tingyi raised his head again, looking at Wei Guogong with a pair of eyes as calm as water, without any emotional fluctuations, his eyes looked peaceful and indifferent.

Having been in the imperial court for many years, it's not that he hasn't seen young talents and talented people, but he is the only one who is as deep as Prince Ding.

Wei Guogong knew thousands of people, his eyes were also poisonous, he could understand what kind of people with just a few glances, but in front of him, he couldn't even guess a single thought.

Prince Ding looked weak, but he played hard in the chess game, leaving no room for it, which can be seen.

No wonder he has been away from the camp for ten years, and he still holds the Southwest Ding Wangjun firmly in his hand, far away from those embroidered pillows in the eastern capital city.Playing tricks with such a person is better than speaking bluntly, so after a little thought, Wei Guo spoke publicly.

"To invite the prince to come to the mansion for a gathering today, I really want to ask for something."

Xiao Tingyi held the sunspot in his hand, his face was calm, neither answering nor expressing his opinion.

Such a reaction made Wei Guogong, who spoke first, a little embarrassed, but at this point, he could only bite the bullet and continue.

"There are two grandnephews in the old man's family. They are young and energetic sons. They have learned martial arts since childhood, and they also have the intention of serving the great Jin. Therefore, the old man has the cheek to ask the prince to come here, and ask the prince to watch them. In terms of enthusiasm, we can make an exception and let them enter the Dingwang army for training."

Picking up the hot tea at hand, the tea leaves in it have just passed a pass of boiling water, and now they are bouncing up and down violently, slowly unfolding, and the fragrance of tea also floats over, the snow-topped mountains of Qianshan are green, it really is good tea.

Even the tribute in the palace is nothing more than that.

Xiao Ting didn't say a word, but Yang Zhao, the follower next to him, took the words and said.

"Grandpa Guo may not know that the recruiting office of Ding Wangjun is located in the Ministry of War all year round. If the two young masters are willing to go to Ding Wangjun to practice, they can sign up. Presumably, they will be able to stand out based on their abilities. "

It's as if he didn't say anything. How could Duke Wei not know about this matter, but if he really asked his nephew to sign up, he must start as a soldier. It would take many years to climb to the position of vanguard or even general.

If the Wei family wanted to help the Ninth Prince achieve hegemony, then military power was indispensable.

Therefore, it would be of great benefit if one of his own people could be placed in King Ding's army.

"Guard Yang is joking. How can I not know, but the recruiting office has always recruited people from poor families. I remember that there is a statement in the laws of the Great Jin Dynasty. If a member of the family has a soldier, he can directly be promoted to the school lieutenant. I don’t know the prince. how about?"

Indeed, there is such a rule in the Great Jin law, but since Xiao Tingyi took over the king's army, this law has long been like a piece of paper, no matter what his status is, it is useless, everything is determined by military merit.

Yang Zhao looked at Wei Guogong coldly, he was really an old fox who let him take advantage of this loophole. ,

Just when he was about to refuse, he heard Xiao Tingyi speak slowly, his voice was as pleasant as a jade chime.

"As long as my son from Dajin is willing to serve the court, Ding Wangjun will naturally not refuse. It is a blessing for the Wei family to have such a great-nephew."

After hearing his words, Duke Wei was overjoyed.

After thanking you again and again, the stone that had been hanging in my heart finally fell a little bit.

Unexpectedly, she was only happy for a moment, then she heard Xiao Tingyi continue talking.

"It's just that before this king took over the command of King Ding's army, he asked the emperor's brother to ask for a decree, allowing people in the army, regardless of their status, to be promoted based on their military merits. Nanyue. With the imperial order above, Duke Wei is a bit hard to be my king."

The smile that was still hanging on his face just now seemed to be stiff at the moment. Wei Guogong was suddenly put on such a big hat, and after being slightly surprised, he immediately changed his expression.

"So that's the case. Since His Majesty has made a decree, I dare not let the prince make an exception. Today, I will pretend that the old man has never said this, and disturb the prince."

"Grandpa Guo is polite, it's all for the sake of Jin, so it's okay to bother."

Xiao Tingyi took a sip of tea and spoke in a calm tone.

The whole body is unparalleled, but it is like a cloud of mist, which cannot be pierced by needles or splashed with oil. It is very difficult to deal with.

Wei Guogong didn't want to win him over for a day or two, and he didn't get any accurate answer after many trials before.

For today's matter, it doesn't matter whether it is successful or not, as long as the First Prince's faction fails to win him over, it will be fine.

There were two "dong dong", and the servants outside the door reported that the princes had arrived.

"Understood, go down, the old man is here."

Everyone knows what the intention of the Wei family to entertain the city's dignitaries this time.

In fact, before the earliest, Wei Guogong had thought about marrying his granddaughter into Prince Ding's mansion as his concubine, but unfortunately, he stopped after several trials without any waves.

It's a pity that such a good destination is in the hands of God after all.

Looking at Xiao Tingyi in front of him, still aloof from the world, looking like a banished immortal, Duke Wei felt a little more regretful.

In the water pavilion, the guests arrived one after another.

The princes and ladies in Dongdu City each have a good circle of friends. Standing together in twos and threes, they are not talking about the latest jewelry makeup, or explaining that the beauties by the pool have an appointment, and they are not alone.

Liang Luo and Wen Yuwei, who were dressed very delicately today, looked a little worried at the moment.

Usually at this time, the two of them are mostly the ones who stand by Wei Lanxuan's side, but today they have become Bai Sihan who has only met once.

It's just a girl from the Bai family's concubine, but she has such cunning and scheming, which made Wei Lanxuan look down on her, and even chatted with several young ladies with smiles, and she integrated very quickly.

Wen Yuwei became more and more dissatisfied.

Compared with Liang Luo, her background is even worse, even if her uncle's official position is Master Gaoliang, it is useless.

It's just a niece, so many people treat her with kindness.

Seeing Bai Sihan stealing her position, her vanity made her hate this Miss Bai even more.

The Fengbai family seemed to be her deadly rivals by nature, and they still kept in mind the prestige given to her by the Feng family a few days ago, but at this time, the daughter of the Bai family replaced the limelight.

The handkerchief in his hand was crumpled, looking at Bai Sihan's sweet smile, he thought about how to destroy her.

"Yuwei, what are you looking at?"

Wen Yuwei, who was in a daze, was suddenly taken aback by the person next to her, and when she looked up, it turned out to be her cousin Wen Mengsheng.

"Brother, I didn't see anything. Aren't you going to the academy? Why are you here?"

Wen Yuwei was a bit puzzled, and when she went out in the morning, she asked him if she wanted to come with her, but he refused.

Why is it here now?
