Chapter 129 Expansion 3
When Zhao Xin rode back to Zhao's house, it was already dark, and two lanterns for lighting were hung at the door of Zhao's house.
Seeing the young master coming home, the child at the door quickly ran forward to lead Zhao Xin. Zhao Xin handed the rein to the child and was about to enter the door when he heard a shout from behind him; "Captain Zhao, please stay."
Hearing someone calling him, Zhao Xin stopped and looked at him. However, I saw a young man looking at him not far from the door. Seeing Zhao Xin's eyes passing by, the man's face was first happy, and he hurried forward a few steps, and then there was a little hesitation on his face. He stopped and just looked at Zhao Xin in front of him and saluted.
"See Lieutenant Zhao."
Seeing that he looked different, Zhao Xin didn't say anything after saluteing. He just stared at himself with wide eyes and couldn't help but be a little curious. Looking at the man up and down, I saw that he was about 20 years old, or even Zhao Xin. He is of medium stature, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a high nose and a wide mouth. The face of a square Chinese character is slightly black and red. I don't know whether it is born like this or caused by emotional excitement. The eyes that looked at Zhao Xin were a little dodged, and it was strange that he wanted to stop talking.
Zhao Xin looked at the child beside him and showed doubts. The child was understanding, so he pouted and said, "This man has been standing outside the house for a day, saying that he is looking for you, and he doesn't say anything to ask him. As soon as the master returned home, he hurriedly avoided it. He looked guilty. I think there was something to ask you, but it was thin-skinned and difficult to speak.
Although the child's words were said to Zhao Xin, he did not mean to lower his voice at all. The young man was not far away, and naturally he could hear it clearly. After listening to this, his face was more black and red, and his face was slightly angry. He seemed to want to open his mouth to distinguish, but he hesitated and did not open his mouth after all.
Although this child is young, he is a person who runs in the doorman every day. He is naturally good at things. Zhao Xin looked at the young man's expression and guessed that the child's words were inseparable.
After thinking about it carefully, Zhao Xin was sure that he did not know this person. Seeing that he was a little funny in his heart, he smiled patiently and arched his hand; "I don't know what's wrong with my brother?"
When the young man saw Zhao Xin salute, he quickly bowed back and hesitated before hesitating and said, "I'm... I've heard for a long time that Zhao Duwei is young and successful, so... I admire him, so I came here..."
Zhao Xin was in a hurry to go home for dinner. Seeing that the man hesitated, he gradually felt a little impatient. Zou Zou Mei interrupted him directly and said rudely, "Brother, if you have anything to say, please say it directly. If nothing happens, please forgive Zhao for not accompanying you."
After saying that, he waved his sleeves and was about to leave. The young man was a little anxious. He hurried forward to stop Zhao Xin and said bluntly, "I want to enter the Yulin." When he was provoked by Zhao Xin, he spoke much more sharply and there was no more stag.
Zhao Xin was stunned and suddenly said funny: "If you want to join Yulin, you can sign up for the competition by yourself. What can I do?" Besides, today's selection is over. If you want to do it again, you can only wait for next year.
The young man looked a little gloomy and shook his head and said, "The captain doesn't know that I came from a poor family, and my father was not an official. Yulin's selection requires the children of a good family of more than 500 stone officials. I am not qualified to sign up.
Zhao Xin's face showed a look of embarrassment. It was the first time he had seen such a blatant person who came to the back door. Although he is a lieutenant of Yulin, even if he makes an exception to recruit a commoner's father and Lou Huan, he can't use privileges for a stranger.
It's just that he has a good temperament, and he seems to be a talent. Zhao Xin thought for a moment and then refused: "Sorry, this is the rule set by the master. I can't change it without authorization. I think you are good-looking. If you are good at martial arts, I can recommend you to other parts of the army. You don't have to join Yulin to have prospects.
The man did not take Zhao Xin's kindness and shook his head with an urgent face. "Although what the captain said is reasonable, I have the bitterness of joining Yulin. I hope the captain can help generously this time, and I will repay him in the future."
Seeing that Zhao Xin's face was in embarrassment, the young man seemed to think of something and hurriedly said, "by the way, I forgot to tell the captain that although I came from a poor family, I and the captain can be regarded as distant relatives and Zhao clan."
Zhao Xin was stunned when he heard the words. He felt a little surprised, so he asked curiously, "Are you also Zhao?" What is it?"
The young man nodded repeatedly and said, "I am the heir of the second son of Xuanzi. Now I am the ninth generation. In terms of generation, I am the brother of the captain."
Zhao Xin opened his mouth wide, his eyes widened, and suddenly choked when he came to his mouth.
I thought that this guy is really shameless. Xuanzi is the second generation patriarch of the Zhao family, and Xiangzi is the seventh generation patriarch. If Zhao He is already the sixteenth patriarch, he has replaced the tenth generation in the middle, which has gone through more than 300 years. Such an estranged blood relative is really a "distant relative". At the loss, he is too embarrassed to say that if these are all relatives, then the more than 100,000 people surnamed Zhao in the State of Zhao can be regarded as relatives of Zhao Xin.
Probably a little ashamed by his brazen relatives' words. The young man touched the sweat on his forehead and forced a smile: "The captain may not know that since I came to ask to join Yulin, I am naturally confident that I will not lose to any Yulin. I have been familiar with the art of war since I was a child, practiced archery and horse and archery, and I am confident that there are few opponents among my peers. I heard that you are also proficient in the art of war. If you don't believe it, you can take the exam.
He said that his hesitant look swept away, but he looked confident, thinking that he was very confident in his talent.
After hearing this, Zhao Xin was a little interested in him and couldn't help looking at him a few more times. Seeing that his face was calm and there was no cover-up, he believed most of it. He asked with a smile, "I don't know where my brother is now."
Zhao Xin saw that although he was not good at words, his etiquette was not bad at all, and he was not dressed like the clothes handed down by ordinary people. He looked like a man in the government, so he asked this question.
The young man showed hesitation. After thinking about it, he still replied truthfully: "I am now working in the Tianbu government, and I am the left official of the door."
Zhao Xin was stunned. Tianbufu was not the government office under the jurisdiction of his father Zhao Jian when he was a Tianbu official. Although the left official himself did not know what the official position was, it was not difficult to think of a small official with a big sesame mung bean. Thinking of the beginning, Xiaotong said that he avoided far away when he saw his father return home, and suddenly it became clear in his heart.
It seems that he and Zhao Jian are old acquaintances, and Zhao Jian was once his immediate superior. Today, he went to ask his former boss's son for something, probably because he couldn't put his face down, so he avoided it far away. This person must be arrogant and very tender-skinned.
Zhao Xinqi said, "Since you are proficient in military tactics and good at martial arts, why don't you calmly join the army? Instead, you have become a knife and pen official. Isn't it burying talents?"
The young man blushed and said disheartenedly for a while, "I can't help it. The selection of cavalry requires a seven-foot figure. I'm not tall enough. Nowadays, most of the generals in the army are from cavalry. If I devote myself to the pawn, no matter how good I am, I think it will be like this in my life. So I'm not willing to be a big soldier, so I became a small official, at least I can leave... Get closer to her."
"Then why can't you stand it this time and come to beg me?"
The young man looked a little hesitant. He gritted his teeth and simply said it directly. To be honest, I'm not afraid of you laughing. My beloved and I have been childhood sweethearts since childhood, and now we are even more affectionate. At that time, her father was only a commoner, so he did not object to my relationship with her. Today, her father became a county magistrate. He picked his nose and looked up at me and refused to marry his daughter to me. This time, he said harshly, saying that since I often self-respecting that I am a general, I will be a lieutenant in Yulin to show him. If I can't, I will let me enter his house in my life.
"I really have no choice but to ask the captain for your help. I heard that everyone praises you for being righteous and having the chivalrous style of ancient times, so I came to try my luck. I hope you will help me.
