Chapter 70: Offering Treasure
For Gao Huaiyuan's homecoming, Gao Jian has been looking forward to it for many days, this time when he saw Gao Huaiyuan, Gao Jian couldn't help but almost burst into tears, he was indeed bad to Gao Huaiyuan before, but since Gao Huaiyuan regained his clarity, the changes in his body can be said to make Gao Jian constantly surprised, and he couldn't help but focus more and more attention on Gao Huaiyuan.
And Gao Jian himself can see clearly now, although Gao Huaiyuan has no talent for reading, but he is smarter than the other two sons, in the past few years that the old mansion of Daye has been handed over to him to take care of, the tenant rent handed over to him is getting higher and higher, and even when he is not in Daye, the affairs of the old mansion are still taken care of by his subordinates in an orderly manner, which is not possible for his other two sons to do in any case.
There is also the fact that now he is very disappointed in the two brothers Gao Huailiang and Gao Huairen, and the eldest son Gao Huailiang will not talk about it, that guy actually dares to have an affair with his concubine and do disorderly and incestuous things! If it weren't for his own son, this alone would have killed him.
And the second son Gao Huairen, these two years have also disappointed him, although Gao Huairen did not do anything like his eldest brother to lose his conscience, but reading is a mess, all day long with a group of rich sons in Shaoxing City, eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling are proficient, only reading does not seek progress, now he is almost twenty years old, last year Gao Jian took the school to check his studies, the result is that this guy did not even learn the minimum things, expecting him to get famous, and it seems that it is no longer possible to glorify the ancestors.
So now in Gao Jian's opinion, the only thing he can count on in the second half of his life may be this third son Gao Huaiyuan, whom he ignored before!
Although Gao Huaiyuan left home rashly this time and served in front of the army, things seemed absurd and uninhibited, but the result was much more unexpected than Gao Jian, Gao Huaiyuan actually led a group of villagers who were regarded as a rabble, in the Zaoyang area, even broke the Jin Army, and later because of his merits, he was promoted to Jiupin Baoyilang, although it was only a military position, but he also entered the ranks of officials, which was something that Gao Jian did not expect anyway.
When Gao Huaiyuan was ordered to return to Shaoxing Province this time, Gao Jian's old Huai Dachang, while arranging wine and food, wanted to have a drink with Gao Huaiyuan, and asked Gao Huaiyuan about his experience in the army this time, while bringing Gao Huaiyuan into his study, and the two of them closed the door to talk about some private matters.
When General Gao Huaiyuan chose the main thing to tell Gao Jian about the previous incident, although he deliberately concealed some of the dangers, it still made Gao Jian's scalp tingle and shocked.
Although Gao Jian is a civilian official, he knows some things in front of the army, and knows what Gao Huaiyuan said, although it seems to be bland, but it must contain incomparable danger, and at the same time, he also looks at Gao Huaiyuan a little differently, he didn't expect Gao Huaiyuan to really have a little talent for leading troops, in just one year, he has made so many achievements in front of the army, if he hadn't heard it with his own ears, he really couldn't believe that his Gao family would actually have a tiger general.
After listening to Gao Huaiyuan's story, Gao Jian breathed a long sigh of relief, even if Gao Huaiyuan deliberately concealed it, Gao Jian still listened to it thrillingly, and said: "I didn't expect San Lang to be a seedling of a tiger general!" However, the army is really dangerous and abnormal, and without the permission of my father in the future, I must not do such a risky thing again! Since this matter is already like this, the father will not pursue it, but you must take it as a warning, don't act too impulsively!
In the battle of Qifang Town, although from what you said, it was not wrong to kill that Zhou County Lieutenant, or even a last resort, but you forgot that the relationship in the officialdom is intertwined, and Zhou County Lieutenant seems to be just a small county lieutenant, but who is standing behind him, I don't know! This fact is too reckless, I'll tell you the truth, fortunately, my father also informed Lord Zhao in advance, and asked him to take more care of you, otherwise, just by killing Zhou County Lieutenant without authorization, it will be enough to make you lose your head!
Don't mention this matter, anyway, without the permission of your father in the future, you can't do such a big thing as leaving home without permission! Now my father wants to ask you, you are also Jiupin Hoyoshiro now, do you have any plans for the future? ”
Gao Huaiyuan pretended to be respectful and obedient, nodding again and again, he knew his own affairs, as for whether he would do this again in the future, it depended on the situation, if necessary, he thought he would have to make up his own mind!
But for Gao Jian to ask him about his future plans, Gao Huaiyuan replied after a little thought: "Father doesn't have to worry too much about this matter, now the child is living a solid life in Daye, in addition to practicing martial arts and fitness every day, taking care of the business of the old mansion, but also comfortable, the child hasn't thought too much!" ”
Gao Huaiyuan naturally wouldn't tell Gao Jian about his future designs, and replied pretending to be stupid.
"No ambitions! The old mansion is just a few hundred acres of land, as long as the tenants are straightened out, they will naturally pay the tenant rent to you when the tenant rent is collected, and our Gao family still has a lot of property, and we don't rely on the tenants of the old mansion to live, so there is nothing to worry about! As for what kind of water mill you have, it seems to make money, but running a business is not always the right way!
I advise you to think about the matter of promotion, now that you are no longer Bai Ding's body after all, you bear the name of Bao Yilang, why not consider being an official like your father?
Now there is a good opportunity, for my father heard that the county lieutenant of Daye County died before he took over from you, and now the post of county lieutenant of Daye is still vacant, and my father wants to fight for you, how about you take over the position of county lieutenant? It's better than being idle all day with nothing to do, or busy with things that don't make sense! After Gao Jian heard Gao Huaiyuan's answer, he suddenly said unhappily.
After Gao Huaiyuan heard it, his heart moved, he didn't expect Gao Jian's news to be so well-informed, and the things before the death of Wang County Lieutenant would actually reach his ears so quickly, so that the things he did in Daye County, maybe his father Gao Jian would also hear about it! However, because Crouching Tiger Village is now regarded as the private property under his name, there are some ulterior things in it, and he must hide some strength, even Gao Jian can't tell him, but Gao Huaiyuan is a little unimpressed with Gao Jian's proposal to operate and let him take over the county lieutenant of Daye.
"Daddy! The child doesn't know how to write and ink, but only reads some military books roughly, how can he take on the position of county lieutenant! And the child is stupid by nature, not good at officialdom, so as not to offend some people, even if he enters the office, he may not be able to soar like his father, but it is better to keep this fame, and it is good to seek peace in the countryside! What's more, now the child is only sixteen years old, and he will be a county lieutenant, so he will not be criticized and coveted by people, so his father doesn't have to bother! Gao Huaiyuan immediately resigned.
"Shut up! You are the son of my Gao Jian, how can you be so ambitious, tell you, being an official has the benefits of being an official, before you set out to make meritorious service this time, because of the merit promotion of Bao Yilang, for many people, this is a good thing that is difficult to encounter in a lifetime, but let you run into it by mistake, others want to fight and can't earn this kind of God-given opportunity, not to mention that Zhao Fang Zhao on the side of Hubei Road is said to have a good impression of you, and have a lot of love, once you miss such a good opportunity, I am afraid that it will not come again! You don't seem to be aggressive, you only think about the comfort of the house, and if you go on like this, it will only make you waste time!
I also know that you don't read much, but even if those Shilin children in the world want to seek such a position, if they don't have a good opportunity, it will be very difficult, not to mention that the county lieutenant is originally in charge of catching thieves, and on weekdays, he is a proofread archer and stop violent rape, which is just in line with your merit to become an official!
You are now born Kong Wu is powerful, although you don't say it, but your father also knows that you are good, good martial arts, and have a good reputation in Daye County, even if you are not used to officialdom, as long as you don't make big mistakes, and your father will give you guidance, you will not let you suffer, and since you want to do something beneficial to the local people, you can take advantage of this opportunity to show your ambitions, no matter what you do, with the identity of this county lieutenant, it will make you like a fish in water, and things will be more invincible!
Tell you, you can't make your own decisions about this matter, and my father recruited you back this time to tell you about this matter, and once you succeed at that time, you can't push back and give me an honest and honest appointment! Gao Jian's angry lesson Gao Huai said.
After Gao Huaiyuan heard this, he was even more uneasy in his heart, Gao Jian's words revealed some information more or less, as if he had heard of the Crouching Tiger Village in Daye County, and seemed to know some things about his industry, and this time things seemed to be a little bad!
As for whether to be the county lieutenant, Gao Huaiyuan didn't think much about it, anyway, if he couldn't do it, he wouldn't fight for it, once Gao Jian opened up the joint for him and won this opportunity, he didn't necessarily can't do it, but he was hesitating whether to reveal some things about Crouching Tiger Village to Gao Jian, otherwise, after Gao Jian verified it, if he confessed, there would be some embarrassment between their father and son!
After hesitating again and again, Gao Huaiyuan finally decided to reveal some news to Gao Jian, and if Gao Jian understood it in the future, he would dislike Gao Jian.
So Gao Huaiyuan opened his mouth and said: "Daddy! Children are not filial! In the past two years, when Daye was fine, I did some things and bought some properties, but because I was worried that my father would say that I was not doing my job, and I was afraid that I would do something wrong and make my father angry, so I hid it from my father and hoped that my father would forgive me! ”
Gao Jian looked at Gao Huaiyuan coldly, and then snorted coldly for a while: "You finally told the truth, fortunately you didn't continue to hide it, you are still smart!" Do you think that what you are doing in Daye is not known to your father? Tell you, although my father is not in Daye County now, he doesn't necessarily know anything at all!
You're probably talking about the Zhuangzi in the mountain! Seeing that you are very honest on weekdays, but you are secretly buying private property, if you change to another family, you alone is unfilial!
Fortunately, you said it yourself, otherwise, the father would also want to see how long you want to deceive the father! ”
Gao Huaiyuan was really a little out of a cold sweat, he didn't expect Gao Jian to really know about Crouching Tiger Village, but he didn't know how much Gao Jian knew about his own affairs! If even Gao Jian can figure it out, then his secrecy work is really ridiculous.
"The child didn't mean to deceive Daddy! It's just that there are many reasons for it, so it's inconvenient to tell my father in detail! This Zhuangzi actually ......," Gao Huaiyuan tried to explain.
But before Gao Huaiyuan finished speaking, Gao Jian interrupted him with a wave of his hand, and said, "You don't have to explain more, I don't blame you for this matter!" After all, when you left your hometown and went to Daye to take care of the old mansion, you were sorry for your father! And it is true that the father did owe you in the past, and it is not an exaggeration for you to think of leaving a way back for yourself!
And I also learned that your Zhuangzi was originally obtained from Gao Laogen, who was in charge, and it was not considered to encroach on the land of the old house, so my father didn't care about you, and you handled Gao Laogen's affairs well, which not only preserved the property of our Gao family, but also preserved the face of our Gao family, and that Zhuangzi was given to you by your father!
And in the past few years, you can be regarded as conscientiously taking care of the old house, and the tenant rent collected is higher than a year, and my father is very relieved to know that you have not embezzled the money of the old house, and even subsidized some of the old house from the property in your name! That alone means that the Father won't bother with you anymore!
As for what kind of industry you are engaged in, Dad won't care about you, as long as you remember, don't do things that go too far, just make money, Dad doesn't expect you to support such a family! If you know that you have a way out for yourself, it means that you are not stupid, and you are much better than your two brothers! Daddy is much more at ease!
And what you said is a little bit good, walking around in the officialdom, it looks like the scenery is infinite, but in fact, every step is full of dangers, if you want to gain a foothold in the officialdom, you must walk on thin ice, otherwise, I don't know when I will offend the powerful and provoke a dismissal.
It is actually a good thing for our Gao family that you can have some property now, after all, at the age of your father, if you want to continue to be promoted, I am afraid it will not be possible, and the court is now also a miasma, I am sure that if one day my father makes a mistake, the huge family property will be confiscated, and your property is there, it can be regarded as a guarantee, at least our Gao family will not be on the street because of the fall of our father! I can only say these words to you behind closed doors, don't talk nonsense when you go out, and the province will cause death!
But this time for your father to seek the county lieutenant for you, you don't try to shirk it, as long as your father opens up the joints for you, you will give me an honest appointment, whether you like to be an official or not, this matter can no longer be up to you! If you have nothing to do, you will find me something to do, run to the front of the army and give me an adventure, so that your father will worry about you all day long! ”
After Gao Huaiyuan listened to Gao Jian's words, he finally breathed a long sigh of relief, and said in his heart that Gao Jian still didn't know much about his Crouching Tiger Village, only that he now had a Zhuangzi under his name, but he didn't even know the name of Zhuangzi, let alone know the industries he operated in Zhuangzi and the things he did in private! In this way, he has nothing to worry about, even if Gao Jian knows the scale of his Crouching Tiger Village in the future, he can be inferred that it was developed later, and Gao Jian also officially promised this time that this Zhuangzi will be regarded as an industry under his own name in the future, and he will not ask more, so it is equivalent to announcing his self-reliance in disguise.
If Gao Jian knew his worth now, I am afraid he would really be shocked, Gao Huaiyuan did not know how rich the Gao family was now, but at least now he felt that his worth would definitely not be worse than Gao Jian.
So Gao Huaiyuan nodded and agreed: "Thank you daddy for your tolerance, and the child will listen to his father in the future!" When I came back this time, the child had nothing to honor his father, so he made a special trip to collect some supplements to nourish his father's body, hoping that his father could be healthy and live longer than Nanshan! Gao Huaiyuan took the opportunity to interrupt and put the topic aside.
After Gao Jian heard this, he was in a good mood, so he went out with Gao Huaiyuan, and went outside the study to watch the supplements that Gao Huaiyuan brought back to him this time, and after seeing it, he was immediately surprised.
"Saburo! Why are you suffering? These mountain ginseng and deer antler velvet are really expensive and scary on the market now, how much does it cost! Daddy is in good health now, how can he use so many supplements? It's broken, it's really broken! Gao Jian shook his head and said, but he was very happy in his heart, not to mention the preciousness of these things, just to say that among these children, except for Gao Huaiyuan, the rest of them are eating and drinking him, and they also tried their best to take money out of his pocket, and only Gao Huaiyuan took care of the family property for him at a young age, and gave him so many nourishing things, this filial piety, compared with other children, even if it is high to the sky!
"Daddy! This is a glass mirror that the child specially got for you, and it is a rare thing! And this time the child has collected two boxes of soap for the family, enough to use at home for a period of time, this sword is also specially invited by the child to make for his father, although it is not a sword, but it can be self-defense, and when there is nothing to do, you can also exercise when you practice swords! ……”
Gao Huaiyuan saw Gao Jian's face happy, so he also deliberately pleased him, and presented the gifts brought this time to Gao Jian one by one.
Gao Jian was really stunned at this time, he only knew that Gao Huaiyuan now had his own industry, but he didn't think that the gift Gao Huaiyuan brought back to him this time was so rich, and any thing was a good thing that was hard to find on the market, this glass mirror, although he had not seen it, but when he saw his own shadow presented in the mirror, he was shocked by the gods, he was also a person who had seen the world, and he had seen a lot of good things in his life. But he had never seen a mirror that could reflect people so clearly, and with his eyes, he knew that this thing was definitely worth a lot.
(In fact, reading books sometimes looks at the growth process of pig's feet, otherwise, pig's feet will be very bullish, and it won't be much fun to be a prince or something!) This is also the reason why the cold wind lays out so many things, I hope you understand the hard work of the cold wind, don't give up this book! Please! Hehe! )
