Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 977
In the evening, Shen Jin returned to Qianjin Mansion's Bieye. Although he only left for a few days, it seemed as long as years to him.

When the mount walked briskly to the gate, his eyes became slightly moist.In the past, he thought that the surrounding scenery of Bieye was a bit dull and boring, but now he only feels it is very friendly.

"Ahe Lang-jun, what's the matter?"

Someone in the courtyard came out to meet him, and they were shocked when they saw Shen Jin lying on the horse's back weakly.In their impression, this little gentleman has always been full of energy, going in and out with high spirits, it is rare for him to look listless like this.

Therefore, several people rushed to greet him, carefully helped Shen Jin off the horse, and nervously asked Shen Jin what felt wrong.

"I'm fine, so don't bother me. Hurry up and prepare fine horse feed, I have to return to camp before midnight."

Shen Jin pushed away a few family members a little irritably, and went to the court with his mother's cousin who returned to the family banquet together. Both of them looked precarious, which was worrying.

At this moment, almost all the invited relatives and friends have arrived.For example, Yu Tiao who came to Shouchun the day before yesterday, Yu Bin, Wen Fangzhi, some young children of the Shen family and some nephews of Huainan officials who were working in the Dudu Mansion.Although it is simple, but there are more than 30 people.

A group of people are chatting in the vestibule hall, waiting for the governor and Huainan king to return to the mansion.

Shen Jin walked outside the hall, and when he heard the laughter coming from inside, his already dark and thin face inevitably showed a little envy, but he still cheered up and stepped into the hall with his chest out.

When everyone in the hall saw Shen Jin walking in, the elders were as reserved as Yu Tiao, while the rest of the young people clapped their hands to welcome them.

Shen Jin stepped forward to greet Yu Tiao and several clan uncles, but Yu Tiao didn't have any pretensions of elders, looked Shen Jin up and down a few times, and said with a smile: "I came to the village with Weizhou in the past, and I still remember that A Heshang was staggering. You are a young boy, and you have suddenly grown into a warrior in the ranks of the king's master, and you must be able to report success and spread your name in the near future. Sikong and other masters are all outstanding, life is a comfort!"

After hearing this, Shen Jin couldn't help but twitched the corners of his mouth. Originally, he also felt that the time for his famous book to be passed on was not far away, but...a tear of bitterness, and he couldn't bear to think about it!

After Shen Jin and his cousin Wei Teng entered the table, the teenagers around him inevitably asked curiously about his military experience, including Guangling Gong Chen Kui, who were quite curious, but both of them had solemn expressions, and they only waved their hands and said that it was a military secret. Dare to vent lightly.This mysterious posture inevitably aroused the curiosity of others, and they were extremely envious of Shen Jin's ability to enlist in the army beyond his qualifications.

Not long after, Shen Zhezi and King Huainan finally arrived at Bieye.After a short exchange of greetings, the family banquet officially began.

The banquet in Huainan is not as prosperous as it is in the capital, and even though the princess is out of the moon, it is not easy to make too much noise, and there is no singing and dancing to add to the fun.However, the atmosphere in the banquet was not bad. Most of the people present were relatives, friends and young children from various families, and they didn't have too many worries of the city government like adults.

After drinking a few glasses of fruit wine, some people were curious to inquire about various matters related to this year's Northern Expedition.In this private family banquet atmosphere, Shen Zhezi didn't have too many scruples, so he picked up some interesting battles and briefly narrated them.

A group of young people were naturally amazed when they heard it, like the mighty army of the king's master, and tens of thousands of people abandoned their weapons and fled. If you imagine that kind of grand scene in your mind, your heart will inevitably sway, and you will clap your hands in praise, and even more It's a pity that I can't be there personally and witness such a glorious moment with my own eyes.

Seeing that the governor is so kind, the young people are less restrained, and someone remembered Shen Jin's deceptive appearance just now, pointed at him and said with a smile: "Ahe, you are already the first in my generation, and you will definitely be the first to win the prize in the future." Gong, come to the reunion at that time, don’t keep it secret because the merit is so far away!”

After Shen Jin entered the table, he remained silent, just buried his head in eating and drinking, lacking any sense of presence.At this time, when he heard other people teasing him, he raised his head, carefully sucked off the oil on his fingers, and looked at Brother with a sad face.

Shen Zhezi also turned his head to look, and seeing Shen Jin's pitiful appearance, he couldn't help laughing, and then said seriously: "Your battalion commander came to see you during the day and said that you have performed well since you entered the camp. You don’t have time to carefully examine the authenticity, but you must also remember not to slack off. Although the affairs of the camp are heavy and complicated, they are related to the fundamentals of military affairs, and they can be the most tempered. Heavier than the order!"

When Shen Jin heard this, his heart was full of grievances. He joined the army full of heroism, dreaming of going into battle to kill the enemy, but in the end he was sent to the supply camp. He had no feelings for gold and iron horses. There is a strict time limit, and if it cannot be completed, the whole battalion will be punished together. Even a small soldier like him has to lift his arms and move around, which can be described as miserable.

Just now when others asked about the affairs in the camp, he kept silent, not because military affairs were kept secret, but because he was ashamed to mention it.

Now I heard my elder brother say this again, and I couldn't hold back the anger and said: "Brother, you don't believe that I have the courage and courage. I ask myself that I am also good at bow and horse, and you want to use me as a force! What a pity! My arm is strong enough to lift a stone, but I can only lift sacks and grain stacks every day. I have practiced hard for several years, is it just for hard labor?"

Everyone was surprised when they heard Shen Jin's angry words.They originally thought that Shen Jin's enlistment at this moment was nothing more than to share meritorious service with gold plating. After all, the war in Heluo has not yet ended completely. starting point.

Similar things are really very common. They participated in this family banquet this time, and they may not have such thoughts. I hope the governor will take care of them.But hearing Shen Jin's accusation, and his appearance of being black and thin in just a few days, it seems to be different from what he imagined.

After Shen Zhezi heard the words, he said with a smile: "Earlier you came to ask for enlistment, but you promised to obey the arrangement. What's the difference between you and Yu Zi? If the camp fails your talent, do you want me to prepare a high-level part for you, and go straight to the army?" Xiangguo captured and killed Jilong?"

When Shen Jin heard this, his face immediately turned red, and before he had time to refute, his cousin Wei Teng, who was sitting next to him, grabbed his arm and shouted: "What? It turns out that what happened to us was the result of Ah He's request. Come! Didn't you say..."

After Shen Jin heard the words, he became even more shy, and his head almost went under the food table. Before that, he had also kindly recommended friends to his elder brother, hoping to advance and retreat together. As a result, a group of seven or eight people were all sent to the camp to do coolies.With such treatment, he was naturally ashamed to show his merits, and only said in front of everyone that they had to be punished because their studies in Xinshiguan were too poor.

After Wei Teng understood the whole story, he wanted to cry, but he didn't dare to Meng Lang because he was being punished, so he didn't have time to complain about Shen Jin, so he just looked at Shen Zhezi and said, "Cousin, I never wanted to enter Camp experience, I just want to learn and broaden my knowledge in Xinshiguan... Every time I read a new chapter, I am overjoyed!"

While speaking, he opened his skirt and rolled up his sleeves, revealing the bruises and bruises on his body, which was quite shocking.Seeing this, everyone realized that the governor sent them to the camp not as a show, but as a coolie, and they were unavoidably awe-inspiring for a while, and no one laughed at Wei Teng's appeal.If it were them, I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to survive a day.

Seeing this scene, King Huainan subconsciously glanced at Shen Zhezi.Originally, he thought similarly to everyone else, and even had a lot of resentment towards Shen Zhezi because of the advice of the officials along the way. He used his own power to bond with his brothers, but he wanted to forcibly prevent him from going north to share the merits.Now it seems that he still doesn't know this brother-in-law deeply enough.

Yu Tiao also laughed at the banquet and said, "Wei Zhou, you don't have to be too strict. Ah He was born in such a family, and his father and brother are all helping the community. Since he has developed talents, he naturally has to do more to serve him. Only then can you live up to the emperor’s kindness. For a strong man from a high family, it’s really an overkill to be demoted to a military service.”

"My uncle doesn't need to speak well of this kid. It is because he was born in this kind of family that he saw nothing but vanity when he was young. He doesn't know the hardships of life and people in this world. The major events of the country are sacrifices and military affairs, and the dangers of military affairs are not limited to victory. Negative, instead of fighting Meng Lang and harming others and himself, I hope he can retreat in spite of difficulties and keep this as a warning."

Speaking of this, Shen Zhezi pointed at his cousin Wei Teng in the banquet and asked: "So, Zhong Nu, are you planning to abandon your armor and go back to school?"

Wei Teng paused when he heard this. In his heart, he naturally didn't want to go back to do coolies, but since he entered the camp together, he must show his loyalty, so he turned to Shen Jin and said, "Ahe, what about you?" ?”

Shen Jin bowed his head in silence for a moment, then raised his head and said: "You don't need to ask me such gossip, I will not drink at the banquet tonight, just because I am worried that I will miss the return date due to drunkenness. But brother, you should also set a standard, don't you think Are we going to save up for labor all the time?"

Shen Zhezi was quite relieved to hear Shen Jin's answer, and then replied: "Didn't the battalion master teach you the rules when you joined the army? As a battalion soldier like you, I don't need to ask how to advance or retreat, and do things with peace of mind." Bar."

After this episode, the atmosphere of the banquet eased a little, and Shen Jin's encounter dispelled the idea of ​​these relatives and others mixing in the camp to lie down.But there were also some people who didn't give up, and came over and asked Shen Jin in a low voice how life in the camp was like.After hearing some details, some people were still unwilling to give up this opportunity to get close, expressing their hope to enter the military for training.

For such requests, Shen Zhezi did not refuse any comers, but asked them to come to Japan to participate in the selection with posts.It is good to have ambition, but you must do what you can. If your physical strength is not up to the standard, sending them into the camp will only harm them.

In the middle of the banquet, Princess Xingnan and the child Axiu also showed up.Apart from their relatives and relatives, everyone in the banquet had a good family background, so they didn't shy away from it too much.

After the banquet, Yu Tiao, the king of Huainan and other relatives stayed overnight, and the rest took their leave.When Shen Jin was about to leave, he ordered his family to fill several large skin bags with all kinds of food and prepare to take them back to the camp. He rarely received preferential treatment in the camp, and his diet was even more boring. It is not known when he will have the chance to feast on it next time.

Before leaving the house, Chen Kui walked up to Shen Jin and said seriously: "Ahe, I underestimated you before. You can not be arrogant and willing to work hard, but I am not as good as you."

"Ha, my generation should be proud of its grandeur, and the length can be expanded and contracted at will, so why should others judge whether it is judged or not!"

After Shen Jin heard the words, he laughed, and then got on his horse boldly. After walking into the night, he looked at Wei Teng with a resentful expression: "Cousin, are you stupid? At that time, brother already asked your opinion, and you asked me again What to do? On that occasion, how else can I answer! If you all retreat, brother will not punish me alone."

After Wei Teng heard this, the corners of his mouth trembled, and he rolled his eyes in response: "If you didn't want to hide your mistakes and give a few breaths first, why would I lose my response!"

"Forget it, ignorance is also a blessing. After returning to the camp, there is no need to say more. Watching those fools suffer and punish themselves every day, you and I can share this joy."

Shen Jin sighed quietly, taking pleasure in the bitterness.
