Chapter 786 Di Yingyang
After looking at his son who was focusing on holding his knees with his hands and not caring about life, Sun Tu smiled and said, "I was born in Jiangnan and won the victory one after another, so I took the word "Zero". This is a commemoration. Secondly, Zero also means agility and health, which is also a good wish for our children."
"Sun Jie..." Ya'er read the name twice and nodded vigorously to agree: "That tiger head will be called Sun Jie in the future. I just hope that he can be like his father in the future and be a good man who stands tall and upright."
Hu Rong smiled and said, "I thought third brother, you would name him Sun Hu..."
"There is no such casualness. The nickname doesn't matter. The name must be called loud and meaningfully." Ya'er immediately looked at her sister with some angrily, then turned her eyes and said, "Why don't you call this name when Sister Rong, you have a son?"
"That's not true. How could the two brothers collide with names..." Hu Rong immediately shook her head and rejected it, and then she realized that it was Yaer who was teasing her, which made her pretty face turn red involuntarily. Then the three of them looked at each other and laughed. Sun Jie, who was a little confused, suddenly laughed and giggled, as if he thought this was a very fun thing.
Just as his family was enjoying such peaceful family happiness, the inner ward manager came to the door carefully: "Mr. Marquis, there is a official from the Di family who is asking for a meeting outside. I wonder if Marquis wants to see him?"
"A master of the Di family?" Sun Tu muttered, then looked at Ya'er, and the latter nodded, thinking that it was the newly recognized brother of his mother. After thinking for a moment, Sun Tu stood up and said, "Since he is his family, he always wants to meet him. He invites people to the side hall to see tea first, so I will change my clothes and go over." Living in the back house, Sun Tu dressed very casually, but when a foreign guest arrived, he naturally had to dress more formally.
"Third brother, am I going?" Ya'er asked with some concern, but Sun Tu waved his hand and rejected it: "You'd better stay behind. Since he was going to see me by name, he didn't come as a brother. If he really wanted to say anything, it wouldn't be too late to come forward then." This was the first guest to come to Bianjing after he returned to Bianjing, so he naturally had to deal with it well.
After a meal, Sun Tu finally met the visitor in the side hall of the front yard. He was a tall man in his thirties, but with a few cynical faces. Just from his sitting there with his waist and back straight, we can infer that this man was also a man in the army. He had already developed a habit of standing like a pine and sitting like a bell.
After seeing Sun Tu arrive, he did not dare to be negligent, so he quickly got up and fisted: "Di Yingyang, a man who has seen Yue Hou." It was a few weeks since the etiquette. Seeing this, Sun Tu hurriedly helped him with a few handfuls, not letting him do the big gifts: "Brother Ninth doesn't have to be so polite, they are all his own family."
Di Yingyang was not that kind of person who was really a ruler. Seeing this, he followed the trend and smiled and said, "It seems that the Marquis already knows the life experience of Ya'er girl?"
"Yes, I really didn't expect that my Ya'er actually had such a bizarre life experience. The kidnappers in the world are really hateful. How many people have eaten the pain of separation of flesh and blood because of them." Sun Tu sighed and asked someone to sit down at the guest seat. He also sat at the main seat of the head.
When Di Yingyang said this, he was also observing his brother-in-law who suddenly arrived. Looking at his casual manner and his majesty and every move, he felt a little pressure in his heart. Sun Tuyuan was even more powerful than they thought.
However, he had seen many big scenes, and he quickly calmed down at this time and said with a smile: "Fortunately, my little sister is very lucky. Although she suffered a lot in her early years when she was separated from me, she finally married a good husband."
"Brother Jiu is so serious. If you really want to talk about it, this should be my good luck. If it weren't for those kidnappers, how could I have such a good match as Yaer?" Sun Tu said, and said with some emotion a little briefly about the things he had experienced between him and Yaer, his words were full of love for Yaer.
Although Di Yingyang did not come today to test Sun Tu's brother-in-law's sincerity towards his sister, after listening to this story, he was still full of joy and his attitude towards Sun Tu was closer: "You have been together for many years, and now you have become a couple, and you are so kind, which makes others envious. In fact, in my opinion, as long as the younger sister can live a stable life, it is enough to have a husband who loves him. Now, Marquis, you are enough to make everyone in the Di family grateful."
"Brother Jiu, you are so serious again. Since Ya'er is my wife, I should treat her well and must not let her suffer any grievances. As for gratitude, I don't need to mention it. Brother Jiu, you guys, have helped me before, and I'm grateful."
"Haha, that's just that my little sister missed her husband, and it happened that I had something to do with the inn, but it was just a simple task."
"I am not referring to this matter, but when I entered the city, someone promoted the people of our history and achievements to the city gate." Sun Tu said, his eyes staring at Di Yingyang as if a smile, leaving his eyes nowhere to escape.
Di Yingyang was stunned for a moment, then smiled and shook his head, "Mr. Marquis really has good eyesight. Can't you hide such trivial matters from you? Yes, it happened to be a coincidence that I happened to patrol there, so I asked the city gate guards who were friends to send someone to pass on the message inside first, which was just a slight effort."
"Brother Jiu, since he is his family, there is no need to call him the marquis or something. Just call me Sanlang." After Sun Tu got the answer he wanted, his attitude became closer and he asked for a change of title. After the other party nodded, he smiled again: "It seems that Brother Jiu is really intimate with you, and you have your friends everywhere. These two things are just a small task, but in fact, they have helped me a lot."
Di Yingyang had completely relaxed at this time, and smiled a little complacently when he heard this: "I don't have other skills, but I am just easy to make friends. In addition, my Di family has a little bit of a weakness in the army, so there are still some brothers who can be used."
Sun Tu nodded with clarity. Although Di Qing and Di Yong had passed away for a long time, the elegance of their two men was always there. Their subordinates and confidants would naturally take care of them as they were in the past. In addition, the sons of the Di family are now in the imperial guards and their status is not low. As long as they can let go, making friends is naturally not difficult. It seems that Di Yingyang is a master who can be called brothers and quickly get along with each other.
"I heard that Brother Jiu, you are also working as an imperial guard?" After chatting for a few more words, Sun Tu finally brought the topic to the main point. He believed that the other party came today not just to recognize a relative.
Di Yingyang nodded: "I am ashamed to say that I have been a poor man in the imperial guards for more than ten years. Now I am just a small battalion commander in the Tianwu Army. I can't compare with you, Sanlang. In just a few years, I have entered the front office of the palace and served as a senior official, and I have become my immediate superior."
If he put his words elsewhere, it would be a bit boasting. As the imperial guard of the Shangwei, the Tianwu Army was an extremely important guard in front of the emperor. As the commander of the army, his status was even more high, and he might even be famous in Zhao Ji's mind. Once he was released, he would quickly become a commander or even higher in a few years. Of course, this would be much worse than Sun Tu now. After all, his official position is almost overwhelming among military generals. Further, he would be in the Privy Council as deputy envoy of the Privy Council, which would be the same as Di Qing's position at the time.
Sun Tu smiled and said modestly: "This is just a coincidence, plus the appreciation of Your Majesty. If Brother Jiu, you were sent to Jiangnan, you might have made greater contributions than me."
"Don't praise me. I still know how much I have. It's my limit to be able to command the imperial guards. Going forward, let alone leading the army to quell the rebellion of hundreds of thousands of yuan in Jiangnan, I may not be able to defend a place." Di Yingyang was a frank person, not to mention the fact that Sun Tu looked down on him, he smiled and said.
Sun Tu already understood why the other party could make many friends in Beijing. With this temperament, it is difficult not to make people feel good. This is a self-aware and enthusiastic enough.
After pausing for a while, Di Yingyang said a little more seriously: "But you may not know something about Sanlang. The things in the imperial guards are very different from those outside. If you want those imperial guards who are above the top, you will not be able to rely on past achievements alone. Even if you have real military achievements, you may not be taken seriously by many of the guys who have made great achievements for our Song Dynasty. Especially when a general is suddenly promoted to a high-ranking official without any foundation, and some people are forced to give way, and some people are hopeless, some people are even more unwilling to accept it."
Sun Tu's heart moved and finally understood the real purpose of Di Yingyang's sudden visit today. To know himself is one aspect, and more importantly, it is to give warnings. Obviously, many people in the imperial guards are now strongly hostile to him. After all, they have cut off their chances of promotion. In addition, Gao Qiu was behind the scenes or planning everything, so once he really went to work, he would inevitably encounter a lot of trouble.
After understanding this, Sun Tu nodded gratefully at Di Yingyang: "I can't afford it, thank you for reminding me, but the imperial guards are still in the army after all, and they cannot escape the rule that the strong are respected by any means."
Seeing his confident look, Di Yingyang laughed again: "Of course, and it is said that the new season of the military competition is about to begin again. Maybe Saburo, you really have the chance to show your face." At this time, he finally exposed his nature of loving watching the fun.
