Chapter 128 Great Gratitude Is Hard to Repay

“Let’s choose a day to report to the Yulin Guard.

After hearing what Lin Chen said, Wei Qing's eyes flashed with gratitude.

"Thank you, sir!"

"By the way." Lin Chen asked casually, "Do you have any relatives at home?"

As the emperor's personal army, the Habayashi Guards not only received higher salary than the soldiers in the capital camp, but also received some preferential treatment from the families of the soldiers accompanying them.

Furthermore, after a soldier is killed in battle, the pension will also be distributed to the soldier's family.

Only in this way can Yulinwei be able to stand in battle without fear of death.

So Lin Chen is very concerned about this aspect.

As for asking about the situation of Wei Qing's family, he mainly wanted to know whether Li Zhao's nominal crown prince, Wei Zifu, was related to Wei Qing's two uncles and nephews.

Hearing this, a trace of hesitation flashed across Wei Qing's face.

But what was on his mind, he still told Lin Chen truthfully: "My parents are both deceased, and I still have two sisters in the early years."

When Wei Qing talked about his two sisters, his tone was filled with sadness.

According to Wei Qing, his eldest sister Wei Zifu voluntarily sold himself into slavery when he was only ten years old, and used the money from the sale to support him.

The second sister was in charge of the affairs of the Wei family in the early years and was frail and sickly. She passed away after giving birth to Huo Qubing.

Huo Qubing was left alone as his only son.

Because of this, Wei Qing has some desire to get ahead.

After listening to Wei Qing's description, Lin Chen felt thoughtful in his eyes.

Sure enough.

That Wei Zifu is really Wei Qing's sister.

Although I don’t know why Wei Zifu was made the crown prince by Li Zhao after selling himself.

But from a certain perspective, he, Lin Chen, is Wei Qing's brother-in-law? !

With this thought flashing through his mind, Lin Chen had a strange expression on his face.

"Don't worry." Under Wei Qing's horrified gaze, Lin Chen patted his shoulder, "After joining the Yulin Guard, with your military training, it is not difficult to become a military attache."

Wei Qing didn't expect Lin Chen to think so highly of him, so he immediately bowed and thanked him.

You must know that he has tasted all the warmth and coldness of the world in Jia Mansion, and he was even almost poked by the dandy masters of Jia Mansion.

Now that he met a kind-hearted general, Wei Qing was naturally in a trance, even to the point of being unreal.

"General Xie Lin's great kindness!"

Huo Qubing is also a high-spirited young man with clear grievances.

Seeing Lin Chen's appreciation, he also imitated his uncle's actions and bowed down.

When Lin Chen saw this, he knew that he had already won the hearts of these two famous generals in history.

Quite true.

Wei Qing is a talent that can be used immediately.

This Huo Qubing still needs to be cultivated.

Let's put it this way.

The estimated potential of Huo Qubing's growth attributes is 100, but if he is not well cultivated during this period, this talent will definitely be wasted.

Throughout the ages, things that hurt Zhongyong often happened.

Therefore.

Lin Chen's inspection gaze kept falling on Huo Qubing, making the young man a little confused.

"If you do, there's no need to go to Yulinwei."

"Sir, wait!"

Hearing this, Huo Qubing had a look of eagerness on his face, thinking that Lin Chen saw him as a child and didn't intend to take him in.

"In terms of strength, I am much stronger than Xun Qi in his prime!"

"You are still a child, why are you going to the military camp?" Lin Chen said with a smile.

"I can feed the horses!"

Huo Qubing's face flushed slightly, and then he squeezed out these words from his mouth.

"Feed the horse?"

When Lin Chen heard this, a hint of a smile flashed in his eyes.

"How is this possible?"

"In a few days, in the name of my general, you will go to Taixue as a student. Before that, stop worrying about other things and study hard!"

Lin Chen said, his tone became serious.

Unexpectedly, Wei Qing and Jiao Da were shocked by Lin Chen's words.

Let Huo Qubing go to Taixue?

The so-called Taixue refers to the book garden set up by the imperial court.

In other words.

Students in Taixue can call themselves disciples of the emperor.

It is not an easy matter to enter that university.

Either they are the heirs of noble families, or they are outstanding scholars recommended by local colleges in various places.

It can be seen that the number of places in Taixue is very rare.

Wei Qing didn't expect Lin Chen to be willing to let Huo Qubing go to Taixue, and he couldn't calm down.

Recruiting his uncle and nephew to join the Yulin Guards, and not being disgraced by the Jia family is a favor.

Wei Qing was so frightened that he didn't understand why Lin Chen admired the two of them so much.

Is it possible?

What did Wei Qing think of? His scalp was slightly numb?

Is it possible that Lin Chenjia is as good as Long Yang?

"No, I want to go to Yulinwei with my uncle!"

The young Huo Qubing was somewhat reluctant to go to Taixue to study.

After all, he is a famous general in history and has some kind of fanatical yearning for the army.

"Nonsense!"

Before Lin Chen could say anything, he became anxious.

In his opinion, Huo Qubing going to Taixue to study is already smoke coming out of his ancestral grave, and why are you so picky?

Jiao Da treats Wei Qing and his two uncles and nephews as relatives.

Jiao Da in the entire Jia family only liked these two people.

Wei Qing was also a person who knew the importance of studying in this world. He looked at Huo Qubing with a straight face.

Huo Qubing, who was most in awe of his uncle, softened his tone and stopped saying anything about not going to Taixue.

Finally, Lin Chen gave Wei Qing a few taels of silver and asked him to report in after settling his family affairs.

I never thought that Wei Qing didn't want it.

According to his original words, Lin Chen's great kindness has made him unable to repay it. Besides, there are only Wei Qing and Huo Qubing left in the Wei family, so there is no need to deal with anything. He said that he could report to the Yulin Guard today.

"In this case, you go to the Lin Mansion and find two maids named A Bi and A Zhu to tell them that it is my intention." Lin Chen nodded and turned to Huo Qubing.

Wei Qing's expression was a little moved when he heard it.

Because Lin Chen's words almost regarded Huo Qubing as his adopted son.

Wei Qing felt that he could never repay such a favor.

It can be said that Lin Chen has no problem letting Wei Qing be a dead man.

"This time I came to the Jia Mansion, I have already accomplished one thing."

After Lin Chen left, this thought flashed through his mind.

He accepted Jia Zheng's invitation this time not just to get closer to him.

One is to recruit Wei Qing and Huo Qubing, the two pillars of the Han Dynasty.

The second is...

Lin Chen subconsciously looked towards the deep courtyard of the Jia Mansion.

That is the courtyard near where Jia's mother lives, and there is a small Buddhist temple near the ancestral temple.

After giving birth to Jia Baoyu, Mrs. Wang began to worship Buddha sincerely and did not ask about family affairs.

All the housekeeping matters were handed over to Wang Xifeng.

But Wang Xifeng and Mrs. Wang are both members of the Wang family.

The power of this housekeeper is nothing more than passing from left hand to right hand.

I have gone too far.

In fact, Lin Chen was eyeing the Buddhist scriptures in Mrs. Wang's small Buddhist temple.

According to the fake queen mother, the Buddhist scriptures containing the 42-chapter Sutra were given to Jia's mother by the real fake Cai Wenji in the early years to show her favor.

Jia's mother did not like Buddhist scriptures, so she gave them to Mrs. Wang, who worshipped Buddha.

So.

Lin Chen wanted to find an opportunity to find those Buddhist scriptures in Mrs. Wang's small Buddhist temple.

But the Buddhist temple was located in the inner courtyard of the Jia Mansion, and he, an outsider, could not enter openly.

As the saying goes, it is the time to act when the night is dark and windy.

Therefore, Lin Chen planned to wait until night to make plans.
