Marshal, your vest is off

Chapter 5: Asking for the real reason
The eunuch stepped back and said, "Don't dare, you should do your duty. Grand Master, please look, here are some rewards from the emperor."

The eunuchs carrying the trays came forward, and another eunuch lifted the yellow cloth to reveal the gold, silver and jewelry inside.

Cheng's father had never seen so many good things in his life, and he was overjoyed, but when he thought that these were obtained by his daughter who had gone through so many hardships and put life and death at risk, he couldn't be happy anymore, and even felt a little uncomfortable looking at them.

The eunuch who passed the order monitored his words and saw that he was showing signs of grief again, so he quickly said: "Grand Master, by the emperor's order, the marshal's coffin must be moved to the grand office of the Grand Master's Mansion. Our family will not spend more time reading the order here. To summarize, the gold and silver treasures are for you, the Zhu Chai jewelry is for Miss Cheng, and the precious medicinal materials are for Mr. Cheng..."

Seeing Cheng Yue, the eunuch who delivered the order was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but praise him.

Although her body is frail, as if she would collapse in the wind, she has a majestic appearance, with orchid orchids and jade trees. This kind of demeanor is not inferior to the princes in the palace.

It's a pity that whether it is rumored or seen with one's own eyes, he is a sick man. Otherwise, he would probably be an extremely outstanding person.

Cheng Qing, who walked to the jewelry at some point, saw the eunuch who was delivering the order looking at his brother without turning his eyes. He casually took two bracelets, walked over and said, "Thank you for your thoughtfulness, father-in-law. Thank you very much." Father-in-law."

The eunuch who delivered the order came back to his senses, saw the two valuable bracelets, his face turned pale, and he said with a smile: "Miss Cheng, I would rather not break this servant. The emperor has an order that anyone who dares to covet the Cheng family's wealth again will be killed. "

Unexpectedly, the emperor would actually issue such a decree. The deep meaning behind it is unpredictable. Cheng Qing turned his eyes slightly and said: "Well, in that case, I won't embarrass your father-in-law."

"Thank you, girl." The eunuch who delivered the order wiped away the non-existent sweat, turned to Father Cheng and said, "Grand Master, do you think, when can the coffin be transferred to the Grand Master's Mansion?"

'Cheng Yue's' body was incinerated at the border, and the coffin contained ashes, so it could withstand such a torment.

Father Cheng looked back with a complicated expression and said, "We will move there after the Grand Master's Mansion is ready."

"Yes." The eunuch who delivered the order responded respectfully: "The arrangements have already been made at the Grand Master's Mansion. Our family will first reply to the Emperor, and then go to the Grand Master's Mansion to urge us. Once the arrangements are completed, we will go immediately. Come and greet the Grand Master and the Marshal."

"Thank you, father-in-law. Please," Father Cheng said.

He swept the snow-white whisk and put it on his arm. The eunuch who delivered the order signaled the eunuchs to put their things down, and then took the lead and left.

Everyone filed out, and the courtyard, which had seemed narrow just now, immediately became spacious again.But there were more guards guarding the door.

Cheng Qing only glanced at it, then turned around and helped Cheng's father back.

Cheng Yue also glanced at it, but didn't take it seriously.

Back in the house, Cheng Qing asked Cheng's father to rest while he went to cook.

Cheng Yue followed her into the kitchen, rolled up his sleeves and helped her light the fire.

With hands that have touched all kinds of weapons, Cheng Qing can cut vegetables without hesitation. Cheng Qing cuts so fast that only the afterimage of the kitchen knife can be seen.

"Sister, have you guessed that dad will be the grand master?" Cheng Yue asked the question in his heart.

Cheng Qing paused and said, "Yes."

"Why Taishi?" Cheng Yue asked.

Cheng Qing curled his lips and said with a smile: "Brother, can't you think of this question?"

The current emperor has a suspicious character and a very good reputation. Their family has a great marshal who has great achievements and shocks the emperor. The emperor will always be on guard in his heart. But now there is no need to be on guard. Everyone is dead, so he doesn't need to worry. The issue of military power.

The only thing left was the matter of face. For his face and for the sake of giving an explanation to the world, he made a suitable arrangement for the Cheng family.

The princes and generals are too high compared to the Cheng family, so the only position is the grand master. He has no real power and can control. The most important thing is that his own face is saved.

And there is another reason, that is, the real Cheng Yue, although he looks sick, his temperament is not ordinary.

If there is another 'Cheng Yue' from the Cheng family, it will have both advantages and disadvantages for the emperor. Whether it is an advantage or a disadvantage depends on the future.Of course Cheng Yue could figure it out, so that's not what he asked.

"Don't yell at me, Dad, if you fool me, I will help you, but I must know the real reason."

Cheng Qing put the packed dishes on plates and put them on the stove without saying a word.

Cheng Yue was not in a hurry. He lit the fire quickly and put it into the stove hole. He knew that she would definitely say it.

"I'm worried." Cheng Qing looked at the oil in the pot and finally told the real reason. "I can't worry about them. The identity of Miss Taishi's Mansion allows me to be upright and adaptable."

Frowning, Cheng Yue said: "Didn't you agree to dad..."

Cheng Qing smiled and said: "Brother, do you think I will tell them the truth?"

"But if they find you like this." Cheng Yue was very worried.

Cheng Qing shook his head and said, "It's impossible. How could they think I was a woman? Besides, how much effort have I put into pretending to be a woman?"

Cheng Yue laughed angrily at her and said, "What do you mean by pretending to be a woman? You are a woman."

Cheng Qing smiled and said, "Brother, you must try it when you have time. It's fun to wear women's clothing."

"Put me down, I don't wear women's clothes." Cheng Yue rolled his eyes at her.

There was a "stab" sound, and the food was ready.

"Sister, I haven't asked you yet, how do you feel about picking up your coffin today?" Cheng Yue asked with a smile.

Cheng Qing closed his eyes slightly and looked at him, then asked: "I didn't ask you, how do you feel when you see your 'coffin'?"

Cheng Yue's smile froze at the corner of his mouth, he lowered his head and touched his nose, this sister is not cute.

……

At night, the sky is as cool as water.

The weather in March is still chilly, especially at night, when the cold wind blows, which is really unbearable.

The two brothers and sisters who were keeping vigil sat on their knees in the mourning hall, blowing the cold wind.

Cheng Qing looked worriedly at Cheng Yue's pale face, and coaxed: "Brother, are you obedient? Go in and rest."

Cheng Yue coughed a few times and said, "No, I don't worry about you being here alone."

"There are people guarding the door, why are you worried?" Cheng Qing said.

Cheng Yue took out a pill and swallowed it. His complexion suddenly became much better. He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I'm just worried."

"You!" Cheng Qing got a little angry and said, "Brother, are you leaving? If you don't leave, I'm going to use violence."

Cheng Yue raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "You can't beat me."

Cheng Qing: "..."

"Ahem, Qing'er, do you know how your brother came here after you have been at the border for so many years?" Cheng Yue's soft voice was filled with sadness.

Cheng Qing lowered her head and said nothing, how dare she think about how he got here?
