Hidden golden branches

Chapter 14 Reflection
  Yun Man was not frightened by her slap on the table, and said sharply: "I can't help my sister-in-law if she thinks so. Besides, when we go to your big room, don't we have to report from the front door before we can enter?"

Seeing that Mrs. Yun was being unreasonable, Ms. Lu lowered her attitude and said, "We are all a family, and we are not here just for convenience. Can our sister-in-law be able to do some household chores at any time?"

"Oh, sister-in-law, 'light up the lamps in each room,'" Yun Man glanced at Mrs. Lu and said.

It's a good family, but now they are all separated.

If Mrs. Lu was not the kind of overbearing and stingy person, it wouldn't be a problem for her sisters-in-law to visit each other from time to time.

Yun is the kind of person who upholds the principle of "you are good and I am good", so that we can have a happy relationship with each other.

If you meet someone like Lu who often comes to chat with you, hey—! I can't even think about it, what a frightening thing that is.
  In the end, the impoverished Lu family couldn't find any favor, so he came to investigate and punished, but returned dejectedly.

······
  The moon crescents over Jiuzhou, making some families happy and others sad.

Today is the day when the new champion Ji Yuxian returns to the capital from the disaster relief work in Tongzhou. The emperor holds a palace banquet for him and a group of ministers who went to provide disaster relief, as well as the soldiers who returned from the front in triumph a few days ago.

Of course, except for Sun Yi, who had retired from marriage in exchange for his military exploits, everyone else was present.

Not only that, Sun Yi's father, Sun Qingwu, the Minister of War, was also not present.

It turned out that on the morning of the second day after Sun Yi broke off the engagement, Sun Yi's father, Minister of War, Sun Qingwu, guessed it accurately. The emperor sat on the golden lacquered dragon chair. For the first time since he ascended the throne, he lowered his face to teach the courtiers a lesson. , enumerate what Sun Qingwu has done over the years.

The meaning of the emperor's words is not difficult to understand. It means: Don't think that I don't know what your Sun family has done over the years. I just opened my eyes and closed my eyes and didn't find a chance to settle the accounts for you.

Sun Qingwu, who was kneeling in front of the emperor, was so frightened that his whole body was like chaff. He was scolded by the emperor in public, and his old face was so ashamed that he was ashamed.

It's all the evildoer's fault!
  Then the censor came to play, not only the mistakes he had made over the years, but also the eldest son who injured someone while eating flower wine and the second son who rode a horse in the street and the outside room were all mentioned one by one.

In the end, even the concubine in the mansion had a difficult delivery and died, and she was blamed for Mrs. Sun's jealousy and scolded Sun Qingwu for not repairing his house.

The thunder from the emperor was enough for Sun Qingwu to eat a pot.

What frightened Sun Qingwu the most was that the emperor said softly: "I think you should go back and reflect on it slowly."

If you are a capable minister that the emperor likes, and you make a mistake and go back to reflect for a few days, the emperor may recruit you to report on your duties in a few days.

But how many kilograms does Sun Qingwu have? It's hard for him to count.
  It was like a chicken rib in the emperor's heart. It was a pity to throw it away because it was tasteless. No, it could be discarded.

Nowadays, there are a lot of talents in the DPRK. Not only the veterans in the DPRK are working conscientiously, but there are also talents among the new generation of young people.

His position as Minister of War, which is already in jeopardy, may be replaced by someone else soon.
  Sun Qingwu regrets that!
  I regret that I gave birth to such a rebellious son!

In the palace, the banquet area was bustling with people who had returned from the disaster relief work in Tongzhou, including the crown prince Ji Yuxian and the concubine Chen Zhao, as well as the soldiers who had returned triumphantly from the northern border a few days ago.

There were six officials of fourth grade and above among the six officials at the table. The emperor arranged for General Cui Zhenyuan, the chief minister of the cabinet, Taifu, Prime Minister Meng Heting, and Wu'an Hou Ji Linyuan to sit on the chairman's chair. Disaster relief officials led by Ji Yuxian were seated on Cui Zhenyuan and several others. On the left side, the soldiers returning from the front line sit on the right side.

After all the ministers paid homage to the emperor, they took their seats. The music of "Qitianmen" was played, and the surroundings were surrounded by beautiful flowers such as peonies and camellias, candles were lit, and red silk was everywhere. The scene is nothing short of luxurious.

······
  In the evening, Chen Youyu, dressed in purple official robes, came back from the palace banquet with his son Chen Zhao, feeling happy.

First, the emperor vented his anger on his beautiful son and punished the Sun family father and son. Second, my son returned safely.

What else could make him happier than these two things related to his children?
  Although his son was not promoted like Ji Yuxian and became the young minister of Dali Temple.

However, the emperor praised his son's ability in public and gave him many rewards.

Chen Youyu, smelling of alcohol, first asked when he saw Yun Man: "Aman, my sister-in-law is here to trouble you again today?"

"It's okay. Why are you afraid of her?" Yun Man said as he handed the sobering soup to Chen Youyu.

Chen Youyu took the warm hangover soup from Yun Man's hand, drank it in one breath, wiped the soup from the corner of his mouth with a cotton towel, stretched out his hand to hold Yun Man's little hand and said, "That door is well sealed, Ah Man. If I didn't ask someone to seal it yesterday, my husband would have asked someone to seal it. Really, what are you talking about? A family is not a family, what if a thief sneaks in and hurts the children? "

Chen Youyu and Yun Man thought of the same thing.

Chen Youyu also regretted that in the past, he saw that his two nieces were pitiful when they met a patriarchal mother. She would often ask Yun Man to send some jewelry and fabrics to them. Sometimes, the two nieces would also quietly ask him for money. , how often did he not feel sorry for his niece, whose father did not care for his mother, and he asked someone to secretly give them pocket money every month.

Ah.
  She is really just like their mother, as if others should treat her well.

Never feel grateful.

Even if you are not grateful, when Jia'er's relationship is at its most fragile, you are her relatives and you should comfort her.

Even if you don't comfort her, don't add insult to injury!

Needless to say, from tonight onwards, the Chen Ying sisters may not be able to get a penny from Chen Youyu.
  Yun Man glanced at him angrily with her beautiful apricot eyes. She wanted to withdraw her little hand and said disgustedly: "Hey, how much wine have you drunk?"

"Hey, I'm happy for you today," Chen Youyu not only didn't let go, but also took the opportunity to hug Yun Man's petite body and said shamelessly: "I'm going to take a bath now, and Ah Man will go and wipe my back."

"Go and ask Aunt Yang to rub your back!" Yun Man glared at him and twisted to get out of his arms.

Chen Youyu licked her face and took advantage of the drunkenness to express her feelings: "Mother, you are my husband's treasure. After being married for so many years, you should feel that my husband is devoted to you."

Those two concubines were not forced upon me by my mother.
  It’s also my fault that I was young and energetic and couldn’t control myself!

Alas, I regret it!

Chen Youyu's mouth smelled of alcohol and his warm, pine-scented breath blew on her sensitive neck and auricles, making her blush inexplicably.

Yunman and he have been married for more than 20 years, but she still blushes when she hears his ambiguous words after drinking.

The cold air coming out of the ice tray in the room couldn't offset the restlessness on her body.

Hey, how come this person who is usually dignified, cold, dignified and upright seems to be a different person after drinking alcohol?
  　Xiao Xuan: Go back and reflect, it’s the fault of a son who doesn’t teach his father!
  　　Sun Qingwu: Regret! Why did I give birth to a wicked son!

　　Xiao Zi: Haha, I should strangle him after giving birth to him.
