son-in-law

Chapter 458 Nine to Five
Imperial city, apse.

A gust of wind blew by, the crystal bead curtain swayed, and there was a gust of wind chime.

Cao Yuzan replaced the red jade bead curtain with a curtain made of almost transparent agate wind chimes.Through the gap, her face can be seen more clearly, and her vision also becomes clearer.

This pregnancy did not seem to have affected Cao Yuhan, she was still a beauty, but after the death of the emperor, her eyes and eyebrows became more majestic.

The queen also puts on makeup, but she doesn't turn into a geisha face like Tang Linger, she just dabs on powder.

A delicate woman's figure, but with a majestic face, added a touch of mystery to the curtain.

She sat high on the couch, looking down slightly.

Seeing Su Yu coming in, Cao Yuzan said in a deep voice, "Brother Yu, I heard you've been busy recently?"

Hearing this, Su Yu felt bad, and immediately said: "I always keep the matter of the Empress Dowager in mind. Especially the selection of materials, I dare not slack off for a moment. It's just that the selection of materials needs to be cautious, and it can't be done overnight."

"Hmph, don't fool me with light words. Let me ask you, how did the five captains you selected perform? Which of them do you think is the most suitable?"

"The time is short and few things have happened. I still dare not make a conclusion."

"You are lazy, but you say it clearly, as if I wronged you. Fourth-rank military officer and courtier, who is like you running around all day long. Now the laziest officer in the entire army is you. You formulate If you follow the rules, you will run away without a trace, and everything will be top-heavy and anticlimactic."

Su Yu bowed his head in silence, cursing in his heart: You don't usually go to the army, how do you know I'm the laziest one?There are many people who usually run away after ordering Mao. They are all eating, drinking and having fun in Pingkangfang. Girls, have you seen it?
Su Yu felt that the Empress Dowager was just looking for faults and playing arrogance with power.The Empress Dowager had a lot of eyeliners in the third division. She should know the behavior of those officers, but she only stared at Su Yu.In the third division, there are five third-rank (including Cong third-rank), ten fourth-rank commanders, and ten fourth-rank supervisors. The most outrageous of them are Cao Yuzan's two cousins.Min Hao is the commander of Sheshengwei, and Min Zhong is the commander of Yuwei.These two are not on the same level as their uncle Min Yue.Obtained this position entirely by the status of a foreign relative.The most annoying thing is to act like a villain all day long.The only advantage of the two brothers is that they are loyal to Cao Yuzan, and then they have no other advantages.

"Why don't you talk anymore?"

"I listened to the teachings of the Empress Dowager, as if enlightened, silently compared with other colleagues in my heart, ashamed of myself, so I have nothing to say."

Su Yu's words seemed to have irritated the Queen Mother, and felt that the Queen Mother was going to stand up and hit someone.With a slight movement, she grabbed a memorial and handed it to Cao Xiaobao, who asked Xiaobao to pass it to Su Yu.When Su Yu unfolded the memorial, he saw the beautiful words.This memorial was presented by the Ministry of Household Affairs, but it was signed by Ouyang Jing.But looking carefully at the handwriting, it was clearly Xu Luochen's handwriting.

When Su Yu looked down at the scriptures, the Empress Dowager said in a deep voice, "Look at this Ouyang Jing, who has devoted himself to taking office as soon as he took office, and there is a lot of pride in his words. How can he not be moved by his behavior?" ? This Ouyang Jing was recommended by you, and I really appreciate your vision. But why can't you serve me wholeheartedly like him?"

Su Yu felt a headache for a while.

At this time, the queen mother handed Cao Xiaobao another copy, which turned out to be the roster of Jingtong, on which there were records of the work of the supervising army Hong Dun on Su Yu, Du Xiangui and other senior officers, and a large part of it was written about Su Yu.To say that Hong Dun really worked hard to write down Su Yu's time of going to and from get off work every day, and where he was going.

The queen mother threw Feng Xialuo: "I know you and Hong Dun are not on good terms, so I warned him not to play tricks in front of me to harm you. But even so, I will show you his memorial. Say it yourself, Is what he recorded true or false?"

Su Yu didn't need to look to know that even if Hong Dun recorded the truth, his work attitude was enough to be used by the Queen Mother.Cao Yuzan is going to make use of the topic today.

Su Yu handed Hong Dun's memorial back to Cao Xiaobao and said, "Basically true."

Cao Yuzan said angrily: "I asked you to come to the back hall to report to me face to face every day. If you are really busy, I will let Tong Yu replace you. But how do you do it? How many times have you been here? You sent me because you were busy. Did Tong Yu come to see me? I understand it, it just depends on your mood. When you are in a good mood, just talk to me, and if you are in a bad mood, let an eunuch deal with me, right? "

At this time, saying anything is wrong, Su Yu remained silent.

The more Cao Yuzhan said, the more angry he became: "From today onwards, the Leopard Cavalry Guards will not only protect you. I have issued an order to Shi Hu (Jin Wu's mentor), asking the Leopard Cavalry Guards to monitor you every day. Every day on time, you are not allowed. You left Jingxingfang without authorization. You are in charge of Jingtong, monitoring Jinyiwei, and you are all in Jingxingfang. You don’t need to go to other places. If something really happens, let the leopard ride report to me, and I will give you instructions before you leave. Get off work every day , Leopard Rider will bring you to the apse first, and see me before sending you home. In addition, I will tell you again, I know what you are fussing about, isn’t it the Honghei Temple and Meiling Hall in Beishi? If you don’t know how to restrain yourself, I will ban the Red and Black God Sect, and abolish the tax certificate of the Meiling Museum! Also, don’t be convinced when I say you are free, what happened to Princess Wanquan? She kept asking me to marry her, and said that you gave her You are talking about a matchmaker? See if you are so free, you will be pissed off. Is my business not as important as your mediator? Not to mention what kind of matchmaker you are talking about? Is it a good match! Don’t think that I don’t know the details of the Kong family. It's the eldest princess, and the other is the son of a giant bandit in the green forest, how do they match? It's a shame for the royal family! Princess Wanquan is shameless, I want it!"

Since then, Su Yu has lived a "nine to five" life. It is inaccurate to say "nine", because the daily o'clock time of Jingtong is at Maozheng, which is six o'clock in the morning.In Lao Huang's words, this is fatal. When did our young master suffer such hardship?Our young master is someone who wants to sleep until he "wakes up naturally".

Su Yu pissed off the Queen Mother to death, and Su Yu didn't feel well, it could be said that he was scolded by the Queen Mother.Going home in a fit of anger, he told the princess, but the princess laughed badly.The princess peeked sideways, but she didn't speak.She knew in her heart that she was the one who "traded" Su Yu to the Queen Mother.

But after laughing, the princess turned her face down again, pretending to be sympathetic and said: "Be patient with her for a while, the family meeting will be held next month. If I choose the elder, we don't have to look at her face anymore. Then you you can leave."

Su Yu remained silent.

It was rare for Tang Linger to be polite, and suddenly said: "Jin Feng has worked hard."

When she said this, she nodded slightly, it was a blessing for Wei Wei.This picture is very similar to the well-behaved girl from the island country.Of course, the island nation learned from Datang.

Su Yu smiled wryly, and said in his heart: "I'm in the hands of a woman. From now on, Jingxingfang will be in the daytime, and Qinghuafang will be at night, two o'clock and one line; the queen mother in the daytime, and the princess in the evening, with two powerful faces. The princess is so cute. It's kind of utilitarian."

However, there is still a relationship between husband and wife on the side of the princess, and the princess is not as stern as before.It is gratifying to say that she has changed a lot since her marriage.

Suddenly, I found a feeling of "pressing the gourd and scooping it up". Just as the arrogant princess was dealt with, another mighty queen mother appeared.And the queen mother is much more powerful than the princess, and she can't afford to offend her.And I also found a feeling that I couldn't see the future clearly.For the princess, the marriage is considered to be over.But what about the Queen Mother?

With a wave of his sleeves, he didn't want to worry about those troubles.Holding hands with the young princess and chatting about family affairs, the princess is showing more and more what a wife should be like.She is even looking forward to having a baby sooner.The princess said that she hoped that the first child would be a boy.Then she doesn't give birth.She was always worried that she would die in childbirth.

"Jinfeng, who do you think our child will be named after?"

"Of course my surname is Su."

"Oh?" The princess narrowed her eyes slightly: "I'm afraid this is not appropriate? I think it should be my surname."

"You..., why don't you give birth to a few more."

"No. I don't have so many. One is enough."

"Ling'er, when I met Brother Eighteen on the first day, he personally said that I don't need to change my surname, and I don't need to change my child's surname. But, if you really want your child to be named Tang, you can. Let's let The daughter's surname is Tang, and the son's surname is Su. What do you think?"

"Brother really told you this?"

"OK."

"But I didn't hear it."

When a husband and wife are chatting, they can't take everything seriously.The woman is likely to be flirting with nothing to do, mobilizing emotions to find fun. If the husband is serious, he will be too straightforward.

Especially when faced with some "things that haven't happened yet", don't discuss them in depth. This is a topic that is not discussed clearly, and it may easily intensify conflicts.For example, if you haven't won the lottery, you will fight because you are discussing the distribution of lottery tickets.It's just not worth it.But anyone who has ever been married knows that things like this happen a lot.Women are born to only talk about feelings without reasoning, so you must not reason with them.Once you start to reason, it is equivalent to embarking on a road of no return, which will eventually lead to quarrels.Remember that you should talk about your feelings. When they are happy, they can talk about anything;

In addition, a woman is easy to change her mind. If she said something well yesterday, but her mood is different today, her decision will change accordingly.But this is limited to the relationship between husband and wife. Apart from this kind of relationship, most of the girls are still...reasonable.

Su Yu believed that Tang Ling'er was holding a toothbrush.If she is really determined to let the child's surname be Tang, she will not discuss with Su Yu based on her personality, but will directly decide.

Then Su Yu discussed Tang Xiaopang's matter with her, Su Yu said, that girl has been imprisoned for several months, it's enough to see.

I don't know why the princess is in a good mood today, but she agreed to release Tang Xiaofei.But she didn't say to let Tang Xiaofei go back to Dongdacang.According to the wishes of the princess, this maid can no longer be taken.Betrayed once is a million times ten thousand times.

"How can that work?" Su Yu pretended to be indignant: "She was freed from the prison, but it can't be cheap for her. Let her go to Dongda Cang to work, and she won't be paid wages and bonuses in the future, but she will be given one meal a day." Fan is taking care of her!"

Tang Ling'er rolled her eyes: "Su Jinfeng, why did you suddenly become cruel? Tell me, what the hell are you planning?"

"What idea can I have? I just want to punish her!"

"really?"

"Ok!"

"Well, why don't let her come out, just keep squatting down. See if our county horse is so angry, can't this punish her properly?"

The princess said something strangely.

Su Yu scratched his head.

Neither Tang Linger nor the Queen Mother are easy to fool, and it would be useless to fool them directly. Su Yu said "bluntly": "Linger knows me well. As for me, I have long regarded these maids in the mansion as half-daughters. It's like Li Duicai, take care of Li Duicai if you can, otherwise I can't bear it. They are still children. They made mistakes and should be given a chance to correct them. In the end, Tang Xiaofei was also troubled by her parents. Now her father is dead and her mother has run away. , she is alone, how can she live? She was originally a naive child, not a bad breed, after this lesson, she will never do it again in the future. Besides, Feng Yu is the only one keeping an eye on the seven warehouses in East Dacang. It is easy to make mistakes. If the mistakes are discovered by the chambers of commerce, they will be fined heavily."

"Are you feeling sorry for Feng Yu?"

"of course not."

"Let me tell you, Su Jinfeng, that the trial marriage was arranged by the queen mother, and I also agreed. I don't care about the past with you and Feng Yu. But you are not allowed to associate with Feng Yu in the future. Do you hear me?"

"Have I come and gone?"

"Don't even think about it."

"Hey, Linger, there is one more thing. According to the new etiquette law, trial marriage women should be given titles. This is what the Queen Mother requested. Why don't we just give Feng Yu a title, and don't provoke those books and newspapers to criticize you all day long. You don't follow the etiquette. When I saw those articles, I also felt wronged for you. I know our princess is a magnanimous person, so it's not like what they said. "

"I..." Tang Ling'er frowned, and she could tell by looking at her expression that she would definitely not agree. Su Yu hurriedly said, "I think it's better to forget it. When did the Tang family take the royal family's etiquette seriously? If you don't give it, you won't give it." Bar."

"Yo! Is this the truth?"

"OK."

The princess became happy, and talked to her about Tang Xiaopang again, she narrowed her eyes, reluctantly agreeing.

Su Yu was secretly happy.
