After binding the mistress system, raise cubs and train husbands in the mansion
Chapter 214 New Deputy General
Bai Jin and Yun Yan looked through these resumes and saw all kinds of people appearing one after another.
Among them are many children of officials who want to take advantage of this opportunity to make a fortune, while also establishing merit and inheriting their ancestral titles.
But in Bai Jin's eyes, these people were basically vulnerable. They would probably be scared to death before they even reached the battlefield.
Therefore, whenever they saw such resumes, they all rejected them.
Just as the two were watching intently, an uninvited guest came to visit.
"Miss, cousin, there is someone outside the door, saying that she is the eldest lady of the Wuguo Mansion."
Bai Jin was completely confused. The title of Duke of Wu was a noble family title bestowed by the previous emperor. His ancestors were heroes who had made great contributions in the founding of the country, hence the name.
But they have never had any dealings with the Xie family, so what are they doing here today?
"Where's mother?"
"My dear Miss, Madam Qian specifically requested to see you. She said that the county lady will be leaving for Dongyue soon, so we won't disturb her."
Yunyan sensed something was wrong and ordered, "Please ask Madam Qian to wait in the main hall."
"Yes."
"Cousin, can't we not see her?"
"She is from the Duke of Wu's mansion after all. It would be inappropriate to meet her. You go meet her and I'll go find my aunt."
"Ah."
The two of them split up.
Mrs. Qian came here today for no other reason than for her lazy son. She asked her husband to make inquiries through his connections in the court, although on the surface it was Xie Bochen who was in charge of the task of selecting the soldiers.
But in fact, Bo Chen gave it to the legitimate daughter of the Xie family, and the emperor tacitly approved it.
When Mrs. Qian heard this, she thought it was a good opportunity for her son to inherit the title. As long as she sent him to the battlefield as a backup support and saved her son's life, he could inherit the title when he came back.
Maybe, she could even give her son a government position, and then she, as a mother, could rest assured.
Although Bai Jin didn't know the specific purpose, he had guessed a little, so he came to see Mrs. Qian very embarrassedly.
"My daughter greets Madam Qian. I wonder what Madam Qian is here for today?"
"Oh, you must be Miss Bai Jin, look how pretty you are."
Hearing this compliment, she could only smile helplessly. From childhood to adulthood, Mrs. Qian was the only person who praised her for her good looks. Even her mother had never praised her like this.
In her memory, her mother only said that she looked heroic and not feminine at all. She thought this evaluation was fair.
"Thank you for the compliment, Mrs. Qian."
"Miss Bai Jin, I heard that you have been helping Commander Xie screen the recruitment resumes recently?"
Bai Jin chuckled, what was supposed to come finally came.
"Madam Qian, you can't say that. I'm just an unmarried girl. How can I interfere in the affairs of the court?"
"Yes, is that so?" She refused to admit it, so Mrs. Qian could only adopt a roundabout tactic.
"I heard that you two siblings have a very good relationship. I came here this time to ask for a favor. I hope Miss Bai Jin can accommodate you."
Even though it was not requested, you still want to be flexible? Mrs. Qian is really shameless.
Just when Bai Jin was complaining madly in his heart, Yun Zhihan arrived late.
"Oh, isn't this Madam Qian? Why are you here at the Marquis of Pingxi's residence today? I apologize for not welcoming you in person."
The smile on Mrs. Qian's face froze. She didn't want to see Mrs. Xie the most. The county lady was now very famous in the capital, and she didn't want to have a head-on confrontation with her.
"Nothing. I heard that the county lady married far away, so I thought of coming to visit her."
Yun Zhihan smiled but said nothing. Who could believe such hypocritical words? Even Mrs. Qian herself probably didn't believe it.
"Now that the visit is over, please go back, Madam Qian. I still have a lot of things to deal with."
Madam Qian was stunned. How dare they bully people so blatantly? Are they bullying the Duke of Wu because he has no power in the court?
Humph! She endured it for her son.
"Madam Xie, I have a small matter that I would like to ask for your help."
"Oh? Mrs. Qian, tell me what you have to say?" I knew it was not good.
Mrs. Qian didn't beat around the bush and quickly explained, "I have a son named Qian Ming. He's already over 20 years old, but he hasn't even passed the exam to become a scholar."
"I heard that Commander Xie was recruiting soldiers, so I wanted to send him to the battlefield. I hope Commander Xie can take care of him. He doesn't need a high position, just a deputy general will be fine."
The mother and daughter were shocked to hear Mrs. Qian's tone. The position of deputy general was not high? Did she really think her son was the center of attention?
Bai Jin looked at his mother helplessly. This man must not be hired, otherwise he would spoil the whole barrel.
Yun Zhihan was indeed anxious. She was counting the dowry her mother left for her. She had just finished counting halfway when Yun Yan called her over.
She simply stopped talking nonsense and got straight to the point, "Madam Qian, forgive me for being blunt, but Qian Ming is not suitable for joining the army."
"Why?" Mrs. Qian was very dissatisfied with the answer. How could someone say that her son was not good enough?
"From what I understand, this shouldn't be Mr. Qian's first time on the battlefield, right? He also went to the border battle two years ago, but when the team was halfway there, he was so scared that he threw away his armor and fled."
"At the time, this matter was still a hot topic. Once we asked the Ministry of War, everyone knew about it."
This was the least of Yun Zhihan's complaints. Tongzi also told him that although Qian Ming was timid in public, he was a bully at home who specifically bullied the elderly, the weak and the sick, and had no sense of shame.
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Qian's face twitched a few times. She had thought that after so much time had passed, the matter should have faded away. She had not expected that Mrs. Xie, a woman in the boudoir, would actually know about such things.
Bai Jin was shocked after hearing this. Her mother knew so much. If she didn't have her mother by her side in the future, how would she cope? No! She would follow her mother all her life, no matter where they were.
Yun Zhihan continued, "Based on this alone, Commander Xie cannot accept Young Master Qian. Please ask Madam Qian to go back. Otherwise, if the marriage is delayed, it will be bad if the emperor blames you."
Mrs. Qian's face turned pale and blue, and she turned and left without even saying hello.
Bai Jin looked at her mother with admiration, "Mom, you are simply your daughter's savior."
After saying that, she hugged her mother and asked her to take her away with her.
Yun Zhihan pulled her away and said angrily, "Have you forgotten the oath you made?"
Bai Jin replied aggrievedly, "No, isn't my daughter trying hard?"
"Then focus all your attention and energy on the campaign against the South. Only if you escape unscathed can we, mother and daughter, be reunited."
She nodded vigorously and said, "Mom, don't worry, I will definitely bring cousin Yunyan to find you."
Yun Zhihan touched her head and turned around to go back to work.
Bai Jin also returned to the house and continued to look at resumes with Yunyan. After two nights of hard work, she finally screened out all the qualified candidates.
At the same time, he also selected an outstanding deputy general for his younger brother.
On the third day, early in the morning, Bai Chen rushed home exhausted to inquire about the situation.
