After the whole family was swept away, I lay down flat

Chapter 361 Angry

Hai Jiao stared at his little sister dumbfounded.

Haitang patted his shoulder: "Don't be so surprised. It's possible. Otherwise, how can we explain those strange words Mrs. Gui said? It can't be that she really has great powers. Not only can she sneak into Zhou Yijun's room repeatedly , and can easily find out the most secret action plan of the Zhenguo Government. Even Mrs. Thursday doesn’t know something, but she, a foreigner, knows it, right? "

Hai Jiao scratched his head, still in disbelief: "How could she have such an idea? It was Zhou Yijun who proposed to go to Ningxia Zhongwei for training, so how could he regret it? Everyone in the Zhou family has to go through this. Yes, if Zhou Yijun really doesn’t want to go to Ningxia, the worst he can do is talk to his grandfather, and it’s the same thing if he goes to Ganzhou or Suzhou instead. Why is there no need to pretend to be injured? What is Mrs. Gui thinking? "

Haitang recalled the rumors she heard in the clan government in her previous life. It was a common practice for playboys from noble generals' families to pretend to be sick or injured if they wanted to avoid training in the army. I guess Mrs. Gui was used to hearing other people's stories in the capital, so she thought that the same thing would happen to the Zhou family in the Duke's mansion, right?

She pretended that she had heard the rumor from another female family member at the New Year's banquet at Zhen Guo Gong's Mansion, and told her speculation. Hai Jiao immediately shook her head.

He had heard of this kind of thing in the capital in his previous life. Madam Gui probably heard the rumor from a noble family in the capital, and that's why she misunderstood that the Zhou family was also a family that doted on their children and grandchildren, and thought that the boys of the Zhou family would also have this kind of thing. The idea of ​​​​escape from experience.

But this is not possible.

As long as the children of the Zhou family are not physically deficient, regardless of their aptitude, they must gain experience in the border army, and they basically go to border towns. It's just that some people have outstanding abilities and can go to the front lines where they are more dangerous and have more opportunities to make meritorious deeds; some people have mediocre talents and can stay in a relatively peaceful and war-free border town for two years before returning to the rear and switching to civilian jobs. The Zhou family does not require that every one of their children should be successful, be granted a title, or be a general, but they will be allowed to experience what they should experience. The elders of the Zhou family will not pay special attention to children who have not fully experienced it, let alone They will not be promoted out of the ordinary.

Zhou Yijun is the most outstanding among his brothers, and he will definitely be trained by his family in the future. He must go to the most dangerous border town to practice. He must also experience battle formations and have military exploits before he can move up.

Originally, Ningxia Zhongwei had been at peace for many years and would not be a candidate for his training. He should go to a war front like Suzhou or Liangzhou. It's just that the border is currently peaceful, the war between Chu and Hu is temporarily suspended, the Hu people are in civil strife, and Suzhou and Liangzhou are also peaceful at the moment. Whether Zhou Yijun goes to these border towns or to Ningxia Zhongwei, there is not much difference. However, the latter has had problems with sand and horse bandits in recent years and has more opportunities to make meritorious deeds, so it became his first choice. This is also because the general of the Zhou family stationed in Ningxia Zhongwei is his uncle Zhou Jinlin from the Sanfang clan, who is relatively distant by blood, rather than his cousins ​​from several other places. Zhou Yijun feels that he will not receive too much care from his elders and can get more For real exercise reasons.

It can be said that apart from the more difficult conditions, the Ningxia central defender is already a better place for training. Although there were sand bandits and horse thieves, Zhou Yijun was able to live there safely for many years, and even led a team back to Chang'an to visit relatives alone, let alone Zhou Yijun? If he can't even avoid the Ningxia central defender, where else can he choose in the future? Do you still want to have a good future in the future? He is the best among his brothers. He will never be satisfied with working as a small civil servant in the safe rear area. He sees his cousins ​​and clan brothers who were not as outstanding as him when they were young taking higher positions and holding more powerful positions. Big power, right?

Hai Jiao has not known Zhou Yijun for a long time, but he already knows enough about his friend's temperament and ambitions. He knew that the other party would never accept this result. Zhou Yijun would rather die on the battlefield than be a mediocre person.

It can only be said that Mrs. Gui wanted to marry her daughter to Zhou Yijun because she took a fancy to his identity and future and wanted to use him as a stepping stone, but she ignored him as a person. She underestimated him and the Zhou family. Such a marriage is unlikely to succeed.

Hai Jiao sighed and went to the second hospital. While Zhou Yijun was taking a break during practice, he told his brother and sister their speculations.

Zhou Yijun's face turned even more ugly. But he didn't get angry, he just sneered: "I see. This is how Mrs. Gui looks at me, and she thinks this is how she can manipulate me!"

Hai Jiao comforted him and said: "That's just the self-righteousness of an ignorant woman. You don't need to take it to heart at all. If she wants to take advantage of you, she has to have what she thinks is the handle. You won't really pretend to be injured to avoid the experience. , no matter how much she thinks, it will be in vain, just ignore her. When you go to Ningxia for training, I don't believe that her mother and daughter can stay in Chang'an, so sooner or later they give up the idea and find another candidate for marriage. "

Zhou Yijun said coldly: "Which sibling of our Zhou family will be the one who is being plotted against? I think all the brothers in our family are upright men, and no one should be targeted by her!"

He originally had no objection to Wu Qiong, but now because of Mrs. Gui, he was a little angry at the girl. He wished that both mother and daughter would stay far away from the Zhou brothers and never marry any of them. .

Hai Jiao was helpless about this kind of thing, so he had to change the subject: "How did Mrs. Gui take advantage of the loopholes in your house to wander around? You still have to be careful about this matter. Whether it's ordering someone to follow you closely They still keep a close eye on the door, and can no longer take it as lightly as before. Although you have never guarded against your own family members, there are outsiders in the Zhenguo Palace after all. People's hearts are divided, and your family needs You need to be more careful."

Zhou Yijun calmed down and nodded solemnly: "Don't worry, I can spare it."

After that, he sighed again: "Your sister is so smart! I didn't even guess that Mrs. Gui would have such an idea. Your sister didn't see anyone and only listened to a few words from you, but she guessed it right."

Although Hai Jiao has always been proud of his little sister's intelligence, he still has to be modest in front of outsiders: "No, she just happened to know some of Mrs. Gui's thoughts, so she made such a guess, and it may not be true. "

"No, this should be the truth." Zhou Yijun sighed, "Only in this way would Mrs. Gui say those threatening words to me. She didn't really know about our family's recent plans, she was just... being smart. . She thought this was a trivial matter that could control me, and did not treat it as a secret. If she knew who our family was planning to plot against and wanted to use this matter to threaten her, she should go directly to my grandfather right now. Grandma talks instead of being angry at me."

Hai Jiao hesitated for a moment: "Even if she knew what your family was planning to do, she wouldn't threaten her with such a thing, right? Didn't she have a blood feud with the Sun family? The Sun family also suspected that she had killed the sixth prince. Seeing If he gets her, he will definitely get rid of her quickly. I think her situation is a bit more dangerous than that of Jin Jiashu. It’s just that Jin Jiashu lives outside and is more able to lure the Sun family’s spies to come and take action; while her mother and daughter are Living in the back house of the Zhenguo Duke's mansion, outsiders can't easily contact her, so naturally they don't dare to come to her."

Speaking of this, Hai Jiao reminded Zhou Yijun of another thing: "The two correctional nuns kicked out by the Tang family knew that the survivors of the Wu family had arrived in Chang'an. It was not difficult to find out that Mrs. Gui and her daughter had been out of the house a lot recently. . When the Sun family's spies gather in Chang'an, your family had better stop her and don't let her go out casually anymore. If you meet someone who knows that the Sun family hates her, and gives her a knife by the way, then your Zhou family will It’s going to be a disgrace!”
