At the end of the Han Dynasty: a stingy husband from his hometown

Chapter 82: Venting defeat with words
Cheng's eyes brightened, and he said, "Mr. Lang, can he serve as Captain of Sili again?"

Yang Qiu put his arms around Cheng's shoulders, and said vigorously: "Do you know why my husband drank so much today?"

Mrs. Cheng said doubtfully, "I feel strange about myself. In the past, my husband rarely felt like this."

Yang Qiu shook his still dazed head and said with a smile: "Student Liu He, Yongle Shaofu Chen Qiu, and Infantry Colonel Liu Na, the three of them are having a banquet with me today. They want to unite with the ministers of the DPRK and the Central Government to report to Your Majesty and give the order. I am Sili Xiaowei."

"With this help, things will be done!"

Since Yang Qiu served as a Wei Wei, although he has worked diligently every day, he has always felt a little depressed in his heart. He wished he could return to Sili Xiaowei's Mansion as soon as possible and wipe out Cao Jie and others.

This is why, after Yang Qiu learned that he might be re-elected as Sili captain, he was so out of his mind. He not only drank so much wine, but also communicated with his concubine Cheng for a long time.

Mrs. Cheng's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she said, "If this is true, who among those ladies will dare to look down upon me in the future!"

After Yang Qiu was excited, he felt sleepy.

He patted and squeezed Cheng's arm, and said in a daze: "I'm sleepy, please rest. Don't tell others about this."

After speaking, Yang Qiu fell into a deep sleep, and not long after, snoring broke out in the room.

As for Cheng Shi, his spirits are still very good.

Especially when she thought that her man would soon continue to serve as Sili captain, she could not hide her joy.

The next day, Yang Qiu felt a headache that was about to split, Cheng graciously cooked him hangover soup, and helped Yang Qiu to wash up, then smiled coquettishly: "Mr. "

Hearing this, Yang Qiu stroked his beard with a bit of satisfaction, obviously very satisfied with Cheng's compliment.

After Cheng's servant Yang Qiu finished washing, he lowered his voice and said, "What you said last night, Mr. Lang, didn't deceive me, did you?"

Yang Qiu frowned slightly and asked, "What did I say?"

Cheng hurriedly said: "It's about Mr. Lang resuming his post as Captain of Sili."

Yang Qiu's pupils shrunk slightly, and a fierce light appeared in his eyes, he asked, "Did I say anything else?"

Cheng was frightened by Yang Qiu's sudden change, and said slightly horrified: "Lang Jun only said that he would resume his position as Sili Colonel, but he didn't say anything else."

Hearing this, Yang Qiu's expression eased down.

He glanced at his favorite concubine, and said in a deep voice, "You must not tell anyone about this, do you know?"

Mrs. Cheng nodded hurriedly like a chicken catching rice and said: "I can save my body."

Yang Qiu tidied up his clothes, looked at the sky, and immediately said: "I'm going to the palace, if you didn't sleep well last night, take a rest."

Cheng nodded, and then said with a little dissatisfaction: "Wei Wei seems to be prominent, but it is also a hard job. He has to go to the palace early and stay there for a whole day. It is already very late when he comes back."

Yang Qiu didn't reply.

There is nothing wrong with what Mr. Cheng said. Compared with other official positions, Wei Wei seems to be free, but he has to stay in the palace every day and does not have much free time.

On the other hand, the other nine ministers will have a lot of free space after going to court.

Even if you have government affairs at hand, you can arrange and handle them yourself, and you won't be guarded in the palace every day like Wei Wei, who can't go anywhere.

But he said that after Zhou Qi got up and washed up, he did not go to Yang Qiu because he knew that the other party must have gone to the palace early for official business.

If you want to see Yang Qiu, you can only wait until night.

Zhou Qi ordered Xiang Hong to continue to secretly monitor Yang Qiu's concubine Cheng, but he was invited to go out of the city for an outing with Yuan Shao, Zhang Miao and others.

Zhou Qi had already thought of a way out. If Yang Qiu couldn't save the situation, it might be a good choice to seek refuge with the Yuan family.

As long as you can get close to this thigh, it shouldn't be difficult to get an official post.

Yuan Benchu ​​was the stepping stone for Zhou Qi to join the Yuan family.

Of course, if possible, Zhou Qi will also try his best to protect Yangqiu and try not to let this backer fall.

Not long after Zhou Qi left the Weiwei Mansion, Cheng Huang, the regular servant, came over to visit his daughter Cheng, bringing many gifts.

When Xiang Hong saw Cheng Huang approaching, he didn't dare to neglect him, and hurried to spy on him.

"Aon, why are you here?"

In the courtyard, Mrs. Cheng saw Cheng Huang suddenly coming over, her face suddenly showed a look of joy, and she hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.

"I'm coming to see my daughter. Do I still need to notify her in advance?"

Cheng Huang said with a smile on his face, his eyes full of doting.

Although Cheng Huang was a eunuch, since he became prosperous, he wanted to continue the family line. However, there were few men in the family, so he only adopted two girls of the same race as daughters and raised them up.

Among them, the eldest daughter married Situ Liu He, and the youngest daughter married Yang Qiu.

Even though they were both adopted daughters of Cheng Huang, Cheng Huang regarded them as his own children. The reason why he was able to lower his status and marry his youngest daughter to Yang Qiu as a concubine was because they had an agreement that if Cheng could give birth to a child, The son will be adopted into the Cheng family as Cheng Huang's grandson.

Yang Qiu was in urgent need of internal support from the palace at that time, so in addition to relying on and fawning over Wang Fu and his son, he also agreed to Cheng Huang's rude request and entered into marriage with him.

It is precisely for this reason that Yang Qiu can gradually gain the respect of the emperor from a foreign minister and rise to the top.

During this time, Cheng Huang contributed a lot.

Cheng Shi heard Cheng Huang's words, and immediately said coquettishly: "Ah Weng came to see me, what else do you need to inform, come in quickly."

The two of them entered the living room, and Mrs. Cheng served many melons, fruits and desserts, and said enthusiastically, "Ah Weng, why don't you try the desserts, I made them myself."

After Cheng Huang tasted it, he naturally praised his daughter again, which made Cheng very happy.

After talking for a while between father and daughter, Cheng Huang suddenly lowered his voice and asked, "How does Fang Zheng treat you?"

Fangzheng is the word Yangqiu.

Mrs. Cheng's face turned red when she heard this and said, "The husband loves his daughter as much as ever."

Cheng Huang frowned and said, "Since that's the case, why hasn't your stomach moved? Did you see a doctor?"

Cheng Huang was in poor health, so he paid more attention to the inheritance of the family line. He also hoped that his daughter would give birth to a son soon so that he could continue the legacy of the Cheng family.

Cheng lowered her head and said in a low voice, "The doctor has already seen her and said that my daughter is fine."

Cheng Huang frowned, and said a little irritably, "Fangzheng is not young, could it be his problem?"

Mrs. Cheng hurriedly interrupted her father's words and said with a forced smile: "Don't dare to talk nonsense about this matter."

She knew Yang Qiu's character very well. If these words reached the other party's ears, even if she was deeply loved, she would never be able to take advantage of him.

And since she is Yang Qiu's concubine, she naturally wants to protect her man's reputation, not to mention that this kind of thing has no basis at all, even if it is true, she can't criticize her man behind her back like this.

When Cheng Huang saw this, he laughed and scolded: "I never thought you would defend Fangzheng like this."

"But there are only you and my father and daughter here, so what can't you say? After I return to the palace, I will ask the imperial doctor to help prescribe some medicinal food that nourishes the yang and improves the body. When the time comes, you tell Fangzheng to take the medicine on time. I think there will be some improve."

This time, Cheng didn't say anything else.

As a woman, she had been married to Yang Qiu for a long time, but she had never been able to give birth to a son and a half, and she was indeed a little anxious.

Even if he gives birth to a son who will be adopted by the Cheng family, he still needs to raise it by himself, and the family ties of flesh and blood will naturally not be broken.

"Ah Weng, I will tell you a secret, but you must keep it a secret from me."

Suddenly, Mrs. Cheng remembered what Yang Qiu said to her last night, and a smile appeared on her face.

As for Yang Qiu's instructions not to tell others, this woman automatically ignored her.

From Cheng's point of view, her father is definitely not an outsider, even if she knows about it, it's nothing to worry about. Naturally, happy things must be shared with family members, so as to get double the happiness.

Cheng Huang showed interest and asked, "Looking at you like this, it should be a great joy."

Cheng nodded heavily and said, "That's natural."

"My husband told me last night that he will be re-appointed as the Commander-in-Chief of Sili School soon. Is this a great joy?"

As a regular attendant, Cheng Huang's political sense naturally far surpassed that of his daughter, and just by this sentence, he smelled blood and blood.

He immediately asked seriously: "Is your statement true?"

Cheng raised her chin proudly, and said, "Mr. Nairang told me personally, so it is naturally true."

Cheng Huang couldn't help frowning slightly upon hearing this.

But he knew that the position of Sili Xiaowei was of great importance. Cao Jie and others spent a lot of effort to transfer Yang Qiu to Weiwei, so how could he easily reinstate him?
If the rest of the behind-the-scenes pushes, Yang Qiu will never be able to serve as the captain of Sili again.

Thinking of this, Cheng Huang immediately asked: "Did Fangzheng tell you other things?"

Cheng didn't notice the change in her father, she tilted her head and thought for a long time, then shook her head and said: "Lang Jun seems to have said that."

Hearing this, Cheng Huang frowned even tighter.

He stood up and walked back and forth in the house with Shuang Shui on his back, feeling overwhelmed with emotion.

Yang Qiu is calm and steady in his work, and he is definitely not a person who talks nonsense. If he really told Mr. Cheng about this matter in person, then there is no way he is lying.

As Yang Qiu and Liu He's father-in-law, even if Yang Qiu became the captain of Sili, there was nothing to worry about.

However, if this news is known by Cao Jie and others, Luo Yang, who has not been calm for a long time, is bound to make waves again.

Cheng Huang felt restless. After staying in the house for a while, he planned to leave.

But Cheng suddenly patted his forehead and said: "By the way, Mr. Lang also said last night that Situ Liu He, Yongle Shaofu Chen Qiu, and Infantry Captain Liu Na, the three of them invited Mr. Lang to a banquet yesterday, and they wanted to join forces with the imperial court. Zhonggongqing, I will report to Your Majesty, and I will restore you to be the captain of Sili."

"boom!"

These words were like a bolt from the blue, dispelling the doubts in Cheng Huang's heart.

He didn't expect that his other son-in-law would actually be involved in this matter. With the help of these powerful people, it is not impossible for Yang Qiu to be appointed Captain of Sili again.
