"Kid?" Wu Jin had been dissatisfied with Meng Xuanlang for a long time. "I'm telling you, my parents are going to propose marriage for me in a few days. I will definitely get married within a year."
For a moment, everyone's eyes fell on Wu Jin again.
Chen Heng and Xie Jian thought about what their sister-in-law had said that morning and looked at each other.
"Who is it?" Meng Xuanlang was extremely curious: "Which girl?"
Seeing that everyone looked like they wanted to know, Wu Jin opened his mouth to speak, but then thought: "It hasn't happened yet. If I say anything now, wouldn't it ruin the girl's reputation? You will know soon. On the first of next year, I will definitely be married." He said it with confidence, as he had already spoken to the girl.
"Okay. Then we'll wait for your wedding." Chen Heng said with a smile.
Soon, everyone started talking about Ouyang En's military camp.
Ouyang En said, "I'm not stupid. My military achievements were snatched away so often that I simply stopped charging forward. Luckily, a friend I met last year who is now an instructor in the Imperial Guards helped me get a transfer order. Otherwise, I really wouldn't have been able to be transferred here."
"Then why don't you join the Imperial Guards?" Wu Jin asked.
"I'm too embarrassed to go."
"Ajian and I can recommend you to join the Imperial Guard." Meng Xuanlang had this idea before.
Ouyang En shook his head: "I want to take one step at a time on my own."
Xie Jian said calmly, "Ouyang En, don't be silly. In the military camp, everyone else has a backdoor, but you don't. But in the imperial capital, you can use the backdoor, but others can't. Why don't you go? Since you've suffered this kind of hardship, you should learn your lesson."
"Yes." Meng Xuanlang nodded, expressing his deep appreciation for this statement.
Xie Jian's mouth twitched, and he glanced at Meng Xuanlang. Why nod? It was his turn. He was so stubborn.
Ouyang En was a little conflicted: "I am not ashamed of this kind of behavior." He has always been open and aboveboard in his work, and never clear about gratitude or resentment.
"Everyone despises this kind of behavior, but most of these people just hate that they are not the one who can use the back door." Xie Jian's voice was calm. This is the officialdom, human nature, and even the world.
"Yes." Meng Xuanlang nodded: "Ouyang, in the imperial capital, Ajian and I can be your support. You don't need to suffer this kind of grievance."
Xie Jian looked at Meng Xuanlang coldly, hoping that next time they quarreled, he would be as clear-headed as Meng Tian, instead of looking like he had been kicked by a donkey every time.
Meng Xuanlang glanced at Xie Jian, then quickly glanced over and saw Wu Jin just nodding again. This indecisive guy would just nod no matter who was speaking.
Chen Heng, who was listening to the conversation, looked at Xie Jian's calm face. Eight years had shaped Xie Jian into this kind of person. If Xie Jian had not had a happy childhood before the age of ten and had not had the strength to get out of it, she and the teacher would not have been able to pull him out no matter what they did.
"Aheng, thank you for being so mature. No matter what you do, we can rest assured. Look at Xuanlang, he is so charming." Peng whispered, not daring to let Xuanlang hear it.
Chen Heng smiled and said, "Mr. Meng is straightforward and treats people sincerely. This kind of character is particularly likable." However, Xie Jian's maturity has always been forced. If someone really understood his inner thoughts, I'm afraid few people would like him.
"That's right. He says whatever he thinks. Before I married him, my parents often praised him." Peng liked this about her husband from the bottom of her heart.
That night, there were three brothers present, and they talked to each other and soon convinced Ouyang En.
Next, Ouyang En talked about the situation in Wanzhou, and the war situation was not so optimistic.
The young men chatted until late at night before leaving.
