Yusui Chang'an

Chapter 78 Lame General
Gu Hongzhang looked at the smiling Lin Jinyan and waved. Lin Jinyan stepped forward and saluted the lame general. The lame general quickly returned the salute.

Gu Hongzhang smiled and said: "Others are not allowed to enter my Dingbei Army camp. Yan'er can come at any time. It's not wartime and there are no secrets. There are no talkative people in the camp, so it doesn't matter."

Although the lame general disagreed, he had always been sincere to Gu Hongzhang, so he did not refute loudly and surrendered and left the camp.

Lin Jinyan asked curiously: "Grandpa, why are there people with disabilities in the military camp? How to march and fight?"

Gu Hongzhang: "This man's name is Du Xing. He is the captain of our Dingbei Army. His leg was injured while protecting me. Originally, disabled soldiers who returned from a great victory would be rewarded and resettled, but Du Xing's family Because the natural disasters are gone, he came here to beg me to keep him in the military camp and let him retire when he is old. Thinking that he would be lonely without his family, he stayed here, and he will have a family to take care of him in the future. "

Lin Jinyan nodded: "It turns out that he acted badly because he was trying to save grandpa. Then he is the benefactor of the Gu family and Yan'er."

Gu Hongzhang smiled heartily: "Hahahaha, are you still planning to repay grandpa's kindness?"

Lin Jinyan: "Why not? If grandpa is willing, can he give this Duxing to Yan'er? Yan'er will definitely be kind to him and take care of him in his old age."

Gu Qingyun sat aside and listened amusedly: "What do you want Du Xing for? If you just want to remember his kindness for saving your grandpa and want to provide for him in his old age, then there is no need. Although Du Xing is not good at doing things, he can lead soldiers He is an expert at training soldiers. If he wants to be at ease every day, the reward he received will be enough for him, and he will not specifically ask your grandpa to keep him in the military camp."

Lin Jinyan: "I want him not only because he saved grandpa, but also because he is useful. Uncle grandpa doesn't know, Yan'er has grown up and wants to see how her mother's dowry is taken care of by her second aunt, so A few days ago, I asked my aunt to help me investigate the situation of my mother's dowry shop. My aunt said that there were problems with the shop's accounts and many shopkeepers were fired. Yan'er was angry and didn't want anyone else to take care of it anymore, let alone let others ruin her mother's things. , Yan'er wants to take over the care of her. But I'm still young, and there aren't many servants in Yan Yuxuan. The second aunt is now in charge of the servants in the mansion, so Yan'er wants to find someone from outside. "

Gu Hongzhang looked angry when he heard this: "You mean the second wife of the Lin family swallowed up Qinglan's dowry? This is really unheard of! When did it happen? Why have I never heard of you mentioning it?"

Lin Jinyan: "My aunt is conducting a detailed investigation. The details are not known yet, and it is impossible to say that the manager deceived me into hiding. If the government knew that the general's government was checking my mother's dowry, the two families would have a bad feeling. Yan'er really didn't want this situation to happen, so she asked her aunt to investigate privately. Don't be surprised if she didn't inform grandpa and uncle early. "

Gu Hongzhang said loudly: "Check! Get to the bottom of it! I want to see who is so bold as to touch Qing Lan's dowry!"

Gu Qingyun: "Your aunt actually listened to you and didn't even reveal anything to me."

Lin Jinyan: "Uncle and grandpa must not criticize my aunt harshly. My aunt is the most kind-hearted and soft-hearted, and she treats Yan'er as if she were her own. How can she stand up to Yan'er's persuasion to ask her to keep it a secret? This is really strange. We can only blame Yan'er for taking matters into her own hands."

Gu Hongzhang raised his hand and rubbed Lin Jinyan's hair, his eyes only showed distress without any hint of blame.
