First wife's original manuscript

Chapter 88

Xu Danniang was trembling with anger, her lips were pale and trembling numbly, she couldn't say a complete sentence: "Zeng...you are so brave...do you still have the Queen Mother in your eyes...you treat me like this? "

Zeng Rou said slowly: "Even in front of the Empress Dowager, I still dare to say that, but what about you? Xu Danniang, do you dare?"

Xu Danniang was speechless.

Leaning forward, Zeng Rou raised Xu Danniang's chin, and asked in a low voice, "Talk about ten thousand, do you want me to go back to the Zhuangyuan mansion? I just came back from outside and heard that Xu Cifu was ordered by the emperor Thinking about it behind closed doors, are you here at Jialan Temple for your father Xu Cifu or for Yang Yi?"

It's not that Danniang Xu didn't want to break Zeng Rou's wrist, but she felt powerless in the face of Zeng Rou, as if she had fallen into a spider's web and rubbed Zeng Rou's mind. Although Danniang Xu was ashamed and angry, she was still rational: "Could it be that there is no natal family in your eyes, and it is right not to care about being filial to your biological parents? Zeng Rou, you have worked hard for your natal family's father and brother. What right do you have to say about me?"

"My father and brother and I have never been far away, what about you? Danniang Xu, I really want to ask, if Xu Cifu and Yang Yi fell into the river at the same time, which one would you save first?"

"..."

Xu Danniang couldn't answer, so she changed the subject and said, "They won't fall into the river, even if they are in danger, there are servants around them."

"Really?" Zeng Rou withdrew the arm supporting Danniang Xu's chin, and looked at Danniang Xu meaningfully, "Things are unpredictable, and no one knows what kind of accidents will happen in the future. Danniang Xu, you'd better remember today if!"

Xu Danniang panicked when she didn't come, "What do you want?"

"It's not what I want, but do you understand how to let me calm down and go back home?"

The corners of Zeng Rou's eyes and brows were full of complacency, how could it be so enjoyable to torture Xu Danniang, sometimes she felt that this feeling was only better than doing it with Zhuge Yun!Ai almost said, "I'm a straight-tempered person. I say one thing and say another, and you kowtow step by step and beg me to go back... I won't change what I say easily."

"You are dreaming!"

Xu Danniang stood up abruptly, and the acupoints would naturally be unlocked. She pointed at Zeng Judao: "Since you want to change the way of playing, I will accompany you!"

She left with a heart full of hatred.

Zeng Rou was not surprised, she touched her nose, "The first negotiation broke down, the next time Danniang Xu comes again, it won't be at this price."

However, Zeng Rou let out a small sigh of relief. She believed that today's incident would soon spread throughout the capital. No matter how Danniang Xu responded, she would not be able to restore her lost reputation for a while.

"Master." Cherry said worriedly, "I am not reconciled to seeing Mrs. Xu."

"Soldiers come to block, water comes to store soil."

Zeng Rou got up slowly, and smiled confidently at Cherry: "You still can't trust me? Danniang Xu is not the only one I want to take revenge on."

"Please be careful, master."

"Attention to the enemy strategically, despise the enemy tactically, this is the essence of military use!"

Zeng Rou walked into the meditation room, hoping that Danniang Xu could take her second attack!

Yang Yi and Xu Cifu are in danger at the same time... This is not impossible, but very possible.

In the meditation room, Zeng Rou supported her forehead with one hand and twirled a Buddhist bead with the other. Zhuge Yun left the capital with the army a few days ago. Zeng Rou did not believe that the emperor would be magnanimous and give Zhuge Yun the opportunity to make meritorious deeds... The battlefield is ahead, and even more so in the court, the emperor If you want Zhuge Yun's life, you must use the enemy to make it happen...Since then, Zeng Rou raised the corners of her lips. Once the emperor receives Zhuge Yun's bad news, he will definitely find a scapegoat!
scapegoat?Is this job assigned to Yang Yi or Xu Cifu?

Zeng Rou remembered that Xu Cifu had been in charge of various matters of the army's expedition before returning to the mansion to reflect, and Xu Cifu had been a cabinet minister for so many years, so there were naturally some old disciples.

Why do you have to find a way to get Yang Yi to intervene in this matter...

Zeng Rou was also a little worried that Zhuge Yun was really being tricked by them, but thinking about Zhuge Yun's great achievements in his previous life, as long as he maintained his lunatic style, even if someone wanted to block him on the food road, a crazy general would not distinguish between the enemy and himself.

"Cherry, you go outside to inquire about the news, help me to understand, after Xu Cifu thinks behind closed doors, who will be responsible for the distribution of food and wages for the army."

"Yes, master."

"You don't have to cast too much net. Even if the emperor replaces Xu Cifu, in order to ensure the stability of the army going out, he will definitely not make too many changes. You can find someone and ask the people related to Xu Cifu what positions they have."

"The servant understands."

Zeng Rou said regretfully: "I have no place to read the imperial court's mansion newspaper, the news is not complete."

The folk news is not only incomplete, but may also lag behind. Right now, Zeng Rou is looking forward to copying a copy of the residence report from a proper place.

Zeng Rou was restricted by her status, if she wasn't a merchant woman, she wouldn't have to worry about a residence report.

Not long after, Cherry came in from the outside, holding a stack of letter papers in his hands, "Master, someone gave these things to the servant, and the servant seems to be the palace newspaper of the imperial court."

Zeng Rou was taken aback for a moment, then got up to take the Dibao, her eyes were crescent, Zhuge Yun!There is no one else but him, and there is warmth in my heart, with someone who understands her by her side, Zeng Rou no longer blames God so much.

The update frequency of the Great Sui Dynasty Mansion News is still very fast, and the imperial court’s foreign war is a major event, and the Mansion News will naturally write in detail about the war. This kind of mansion report is not received by Beijing officials below the fourth rank.

After Zeng Rou quickly read the mansion newspaper, her frowning brows slowly relaxed, "Sure enough, Xu Cifu's old subordinate took over. Also, Xu Cifu has been monitoring the household department and the official department. Naturally, he will not let others pick peaches... But Yang Yi, Xu Cifu recommended a student, forgetting about a good son-in-law?"

"Master?" Cherry's back felt cool, "What's wrong with you?"

"The Great Sui was crowned with military merits, and the Great Sui surrendered all over the world. It has been a long time since there has been such a large-scale war. This time, the whole country's elites are attacking a small country. No one in the Great Sui court thinks that the Great Sui will fail."

"That will fail?"

"How could it be? Even without Prince Rui, Da Sui would not have failed."

Zeng Rou smiled, with Zhuge Yun, I am afraid that this war will be fought with great waves, otherwise how can he show his ability as a general?

"What I mean is that civil servants who want to be knighted will definitely not miss this good opportunity. If they are successful in raising food and salary, they can still be knighted."

Zeng Rou tapped the mansion newspaper with her finger, "Yang Yi is only [-] years old, and he is already under the official position. If he is promoted further, age is his biggest obstacle. No matter how much the emperor thinks highly of him, he will not be able to do so. It is about seniority, once Yang Yi enters the cabinet, what will the grey-haired veteran think? The emperor wants to balance the government and the opposition, and will not promote him rashly, I think Yang Yi will not even think of this."

If the official position cannot be promoted, it will be an unexpected gain if you get the title.

Yang Yi cared too much about his poor family background, he would be noble if he got a title, Zeng Rou didn't believe that he didn't want to be a knight, but Xu Cifu didn't recommend him but left the matter to others, Yang Yi... would he be willing?

Is Yang Yi's true love for Xu Danniang more important than official title?
Zeng Rou rubbed her forehead in embarrassment, how could someone expose this matter?

The people around Yang Yi, Zeng Rou can't order...and what the servant said, Yang Yi may not take it to heart, Xu Danniang still has some tricks, Zeng Rou can't underestimate her ability to win over Yang Yi just because she suppressed Xu Danniang for a while .

who?Who is right?
Zeng Rou filtered through the few names in his head, and there it is, Dali Siqing... Although he is not in the same class as Yang Yi, he is a student from a poor family just like Yang Yi, and the wife he married is said to be Yang Yi who entered the officialdom The daughter of his benefactor, that is, the beloved daughter of Jiangnan Xuezheng.

Without the support of Jiangnan Xuezheng, Yang Yi was just a poor scholar who failed to achieve success in his career.

Jiangnan's knowledge of politics and wisdom opened Yang Yi's career path. If Yang Yi was ungrateful, many people in the officialdom would despise him.

Zeng Rou smiled and said to Cherry: "Tomorrow I have to go to Dali Temple and ask when the imperial court's commendation for my brother will be released. By the way, I can also discuss with the Secretary of Dali Temple about the loopholes in the laws of the Sui Dynasty."

Such a good reason is not in vain.The Minister of Dali Temple didn't seem to be pleased with Xu Cifu, otherwise Xu Cifu would not have had the imperial staff and thought behind closed doors.

When Xu Danniang returned to Zhuangyuan Mansion, she was still full of anger, so she went directly to the study to meet Yang Yi, "Yi Lang."

Yang Yi put down the scroll in his hand, and seeing Xu Danniang's face full of anger and tiredness on his brows, he asked, "Ms. Zeng won't go back to the house?"

Xu Danniang walked up to Yang Yi's side, took the initiative to grab his neck, let go of her delicate body, and said: "I didn't believe Yilang said that my sister had changed before. I thought Yilang had misunderstood her. Today I saw my sister. , I realized that she had become something I couldn't even recognize."

"Is she mad at you?"

"It's okay for me to be angry, but how can she curse Yilang..."

Danniang Xu hurriedly shut up, and said in a condescending manner: "Yi Lang, I didn't mean to say that, maybe my sister was just talking out of anger, I... I don't want to hide anything from Yi Lang, so I just said it... Yi Lang Pretend you didn't hear it, okay?"

Her pleading kind eyes softened the coldness between Yang Yi's brows. Yang Yi put his arms around Xu Danniang tenderly and said, "Silly girl, even if you don't tell me, I know that poisonous woman Zeng wants me to be unlucky! You forgot Who did I suffer for? Mrs. Zeng just can't see us living a good life! It's not... It's not because she saved me, I will let her?"

"Yi Lang, don't say that about my sister, I feel uncomfortable after hearing that."

Xu Danniang leaned in Yang Yi's arms, her drooping eyelids blocked the smugness in her eyes, "My sister always lives outside, I'm afraid she will become more and more crazy, Yilang, let's find a way to awaken my sister's conscience, shall we? Let my sister recover The kindness I used to have, I can't watch my sister go further and further, Yilang, okay?"

"Depend on you, as long as I have it in your heart, I will depend on you for everything."
