Xu Can didn't expect that his good brother Guan Jianze was going to join the army at this time.
Today, a few of them held a banquet in the VIP room of Yumancang to say goodbye to their brothers.
Xu Can couldn't accept it. It was such a fragile brotherhood. We agreed to be good boys together, but you secretly made progress!
Xu Can sat down and rubbed his swollen arms. In recent days, he was forced by his father to work as a free laborer, helping with chores and writing down accounts every day. His two hands were about to run away from home!
After wandering around for so long, his father suddenly did this, catching him off guard.
"Why do you suddenly want to go to the military camp?"
Guan Jianze seemed to have thought of something, his eyes darted around, his face turned red, and he stammered: "Nothing, I just feel that I can't go on like this, I should earn a real reputation."
Xu Can looked at him suspiciously: "You are already a juren, it would be easy for your grandfather to help you find an official position, why do you insist on joining the army? Isn't this asking for trouble?"
“I only got this position after using all my strength, and I’m still at the bottom. It’s impossible for me to go any further.
If I were to follow the path of a civil official, I don’t know how long it would take me to get ahead. I can’t wait any longer, so I’d rather follow the path of a military commander, where I can rise faster!”
Qiao Dalang looked at Guan Jianze in surprise: "Why are you so anxious?"
He is only seventeen or eighteen years old, a young man from a noble family, with a bright future ahead of him and a long time to come. How can you say you can't wait?
"That's right, why are you in such a hurry?" Xu Can also looked at him, puzzled.
Guan Jianze was silent for a moment, then whispered tentatively: "I...I want to marry Sister Lingshu!"
Qiao Erlang stood up suddenly, his eyebrows erect, and grabbed his collar: "What did you say? Say it again!"
"Second brother (third brother), don't be impulsive!"
Seeing that his brother was like a cat with its tail stepped on, Qiao Dalang quickly stood up to stop him.
Even Qiao Sanlang didn't expect his second brother to react so violently! Why is he still so impulsive? Hasn't he taken action yet?
Why are you in such a hurry? Do you really think your second sister is so easy to fool?
And grandma!
Qiao Erlang snorted and sat back, still unable to swallow this breath, pointing at Guan Jianze and said, "Fuck you, I'm your brother, and you actually want to be my brother-in-law?"
"Second brother, be careful with your words!"
Qiao Sanlang turned the teacup in his hand, and his tone became much more indifferent: "Master Guan, a woman's reputation is so important, please be careful with your words!"
Guan Guanze clenched his fingers into fists and took a deep breath. The attitudes of the three Qiao brothers had already explained everything. But he still wanted to fight for himself.
"Didn't you ask me the reason? I told you the truth, but you didn't believe me! I didn't mean to ruin the reputation of the second young lady. I really thought so, and I really treated you as my own people, so I was so frank.
I reported this to my grandparents, and they were also happy to hear the news. However, my grandfather said that I had no parents or brothers to support me, and I didn't hold any official position, so what could I use to propose marriage?
Everything I have now was given by my ancestors, not something I fought for myself.
I know that I am not worthy of your sister now. If I come to her house now, the old lady will definitely not agree.
But if I have to give up, I will definitely not be willing to do so. I have to try my best, even if the result is not satisfactory, it will be worthy of my own heart. "
If he gives up easily without even trying, he will definitely regret it in the future.
"Is this why you want to join the army? Does your second sister know?"
Guan Jianze raised his head, his eyes like torches, his expression firm: "Yes, I want to marry her in a grand manner in the future and protect her for the rest of her life. So I want to fight for a good future, otherwise everything is just empty talk!
She doesn't know that this is just my wishful thinking!"
He didn't dare to say it, he was also afraid, and he had been carefully keeping this thought to himself, not daring to hope that the other party would also like him.
Facing that lively woman, he did not show the slightest intention of redeeming her, and never did anything beyond the rules, let alone give or receive anything from her privately.
It's just unrequited love!
Every time he faced Qiao Lingshu, he felt terrible. He was such a big guy, but he didn't know where to put his hands and feet, and he didn't know where his soul had flown to!
He knew that he had fallen into Qiao Lingshu's hands in this life.
But why should he stand by her side?
If the old lady had not taken her granddaughter away from the capital, the reputation of the three beauties of the Qiao family would have spread throughout the capital long ago.
A woman like Qiao Lingshu, who can kill jackals with one hand, cook in the kitchen at home, earn money and support her husband, is both talented and beautiful. She is the candidate for the eldest daughter-in-law that many military families dream of.
Take another look, what do you have?
My parents died early, and I don't get along well with my second uncle's family. It is destined that I will not be able to inherit anything in the family. It will be difficult for me to keep the inheritance left to me by my parents intact.
His grandparents were already old, and he couldn't rely on his maternal grandparents. In a few years, he might be left alone in the world, without any ties or cares!
But my grandfather said, among all things in this world, love is the most unreasonable thing. If you like something, go for it and don’t leave any regrets behind!
The three brothers of the Qiao family looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief.
You are smart, just think about it!
Qiao Erlang now finds everyone dissatisfied with him.
"If you want to fight for your future, that's your business. Don't take my sister with you. Without my second sister, you won't fight for your future, right?
My sister has no obligation to wait for you. On the battlefield, swords are merciless. If anything happens to you, and you spread the news now, then all the bitter consequences will be borne by my sister alone!"
Qiao Sanlang looked at Guanjianze without a smile on his face, but what he said was somewhat unexpected.
"Second sister is fourteen this year, and will only be seventeen in three years. My grandmother will not arrange a marriage for her too early. If you still have nothing to show for yourself in three years, what I said today will be nothing but an illusion, and I will never mention it again in the future!"
If my second sister has found someone she likes in the past three years, I can only say that you two are not meant to be together. Please don’t bother her any more in the future. I will still recognize you as my good brother.”
Guan Jianze nodded: "Thank you very much. If you hadn't asked me today, I wouldn't have told you. If the second girl really has someone in her heart, I, Guan Jianze, am not a shameless person!"
"Three years is enough!"
Xu Can was unusually silent today. After hearing this, he asked, "Where are you going, to the Frontier Army or the Central Army?"
"I'm going to the border, where there are many battles and many opportunities to make meritorious deeds. My ultimate goal is to join your majesty's Black Armor Army!"
Your Majesty's Black Armor Army is a group of light cavalry carefully selected from hundreds of miles away. Each of them is extraordinary. To get in, one must rely not on family background but on real ability.
Xu Can didn't expect that Guan Jianze's goal was to become His Majesty's personal guard.
"That's not easy, take care of yourself!"
Qiao Dalang raised his teacup and waved it towards Guan Guanze: "When you leave, we will use tea instead of wine to wish you a safe journey and a safe return!"
"Thank you, Brother Qiao. We'll set off early tomorrow morning!"
