The general will eat grass

After Eunuch Li left, Changle Hou's mansion was "fried up" from top to bottom, inside and out. Grandpa Hou slipped Zhao Yuansong into the study again, and Mrs. Hou was on the jury this time.Zhao Lanzhi also wanted to follow in, but was blocked by Mother Zhao, who was so angry that she twisted her handkerchief and stomped her feet.Zhao Nanny just looked at her with a smile, resolutely not letting her approach the study.

"Tell me, what's going on here?" Father Hou frowned, and slapped the table with his palm, causing the white porcelain pen container on the table to jump.He had an angry look on his face, and he was more angry than every time he knew that Zhao Yuansong had caused trouble. If the third master hadn't told those things, Zhao Yuansong would have simply thought that Hou Ye's father suddenly married him to a man for the sake of the emperor, and felt ashamed , Looking at it now, Father Hou has more scrutiny and doubts about him in his eyes.

Zhao Yuansong moved his knee that hurt a little from the fall, continued to lower his head and hunched his shoulders, pretending to be pitiful, and secretly wiped the gum from the corners of his eyes when he found time.He doesn't know what's going on!How could it be possible for the emperor to give the marriage suddenly despite the objections of those "spots" who liked to criticize the bad habits of the previous dynasty?His Majesty the Emperor really agreed to marry a man to another man?

It was too unreal, but it made Zhao Yuansong feel uneasy, but when he suddenly remembered that Feng Jingde had said on the edge of the West Mountain cliff that he would marry him, Zhao Yuansong's chest suddenly felt a sense of happiness swell, mixed with joy and disbelief.Did he do it?Is it the imperial decree he asked for, so that they can worship and get married in a dignified way?

"I'm asking you something!" Marquis Changle Zhao Shouyi got annoyed at his weak appearance, and slapped the table again.

Zhao Yuansong came back to his senses and murmured, "Father, I don't know either." He had already believed what the third master Shu said last night. Only then did I think about what to do next.Even if Chang Lehou was not good enough for him, he still has the grace of nurturing him. He will find out what happened back then, and then measure his attitude towards Chang Lehou.

Recalling the words of the third master Shu, he wanted to get Feng Jingde's protection through himself, so that he could leave Changle Hou Mansion or take revenge on Changle Hou Mansion.Zhao Yuansong always felt that what he said was a bit far-fetched. The interests are always mutual. What bargaining chip does the third master have in hand to "negotiate business" with Feng Jingde?

Zhao Shouyi saw that Zhao Yuansong's eyes were straight and he was not in the situation at all. Then he recalled the surprise and surprise on his face after listening to the imperial decree, and judged that he was actually an ignorant person.

Zhao Shouyi was cautious, so he turned his head and winked at Mrs. Hou, wanting her to test it out to see if her conclusion was the same as his own.

After being married for many years, Mrs. Hou immediately understood what her husband meant.She first used a silk handkerchief to gently suppress the smile on the corners of her mouth, secretly feeling that her husband always asked her for her opinion on everything, and then picked up the teacup on the table next to her, and pushed aside the tea leaves floating in the cup. .With half-lowered eyelids, she was actually staring at Zhao Yuansong's face. She opened her mouth and asked casually, "Song'er, Your Majesty's decree is so sudden. Mother doesn't even know when you met General Feng?"

Zhao Yuansong recalled the time he got along with Feng Jingde that day, and couldn't help but blush.He couldn't control the excitement in his heart, and said in a trembling voice: "We are not familiar with each other, and we have never met before. When we met, he asked me if the rumors were true, and told me to wait."

But to Mrs. Hou's ears, these words sounded more like a threat.Zhao Yuansong was always submissive in front of them, but this time he was trembling, slurring his words and looking very scared, which made Mrs. Hou mistakenly think that Feng Jingde asked Zhao Yuansong to let go of his cruel words and threatened him.

No one in Jingdu knows that Feng Changying became famous at a young age, he is very proud, and most of all, he can't rub the sand in his eyes.The reason why his rumors have been circulating for so long is not because there is a military situation in Changyang Pass, and he has no time to deal with Zhao Yuansong, who ruined his reputation after he went out.I heard that this time the Xiongnu seized the pass, and Changyang Pass almost fell. It was he who ran desperately and burned the enemy's food and grass, and turned defeat into victory.She also heard that during the battle at Changyang Pass, Feng Changying was seriously injured and almost lost half of his life, and it was precisely because of this that the emperor did not punish him for his unfavorable fault of stationing.

Presumably Feng Changying, who had never been defeated before, had nowhere to vent his anger, so he made trouble for Zhao Yuansong!Mrs. Hou thought she was the truth, she raised her eyebrows lightly, and said softly: "It seems that Song'er doesn't know what's going on, so if you have nothing to do, go back to Zizhuyuan first."

After Zhao Yuansong left, Zhao Shouyi leaned over to chat with Mrs. Hou, "What do you think, Madam?"

Mrs. Hou told her husband all the things Zhao Momo found out, as well as her guesses.

Zhao Shouyi tapped the table with his index finger and pondered: "Dingguo's mansion has made great achievements, and it is the key object of supervision by the inspector's office. And our Changlehou's mansion was also on the emperor's watch list because of the elder brother. Ben Hou I don't think that the gift of marriage is Feng Changying's intentional revenge on Zhao Yuansong, but it is very likely that our Majesty wants to take advantage of the rumors to kill two birds with one stone!"

"What Hou Ye means is that the emperor wants to use this matter to cut off the incense between our two families?"

Although there are three sons in Dingguogong's mansion, only Feng Changying has outstanding ability. If there is no accident, he will be the next candidate for Dingguogong.And in their Changle Hou Mansion, there is only one "di son".If the two get married, there will be no offspring. Even if Feng Changying takes a concubine again, it will not be a legitimate son.Adopted or adopted children, if the emperor is happy, he will be given a title, but if he is not happy, he can take it back.

The emperor is really calculating!If Duke Ding did not choose Feng Changying as the next Duke Ding in the end, then Feng Changying only had an official position but no title, and it would be easier for the emperor to make things difficult for him.Even if the Dingguo Mansion cannot be settled this time, their Hou Mansion is doomed to have no heirs to inherit the title forever, and the century-old family of the Hou Mansion will be ruined here.

"Besides this, Ben Hou can't think of anything else for the time being. Let's not move, let's see the reaction of Duke Dingguo." The eyeliner that Marquis Changle planted in the palace not long ago offended the tea-serving eunuch next to the emperor , and was dispatched to other places, it is difficult for him to grasp the dynamics of the emperor now.

"Master Hou thinks that with Feng Changying's temperament, he won't accept the marriage offer?"

Chang Lehou nodded, "Who doesn't know that the second son of Dingguo's mansion was promoted to the second-rank general at a young age, which is the time when he is young and arrogant. If it weren't for the eldest daughter of the Qing family of Zongzheng Temple a few years ago, suddenly Died of illness, he must have been married by this time."

Madam Hou of Changle: "That's right, the last time I participated in the Hundred Flowers Festival, I heard that Mrs. Ding Guogong was asking others about unmarried girls of the right age. In this way, the inspector's office may have heard the news, Your Majesty Will it count?"

Zhao Yuansong passed through the porch of the study, and was spotted by the sharp-eyed Miss Zhao Er. She bypassed Zhao Mama's obstruction, rushed to him, and raised her hand to give him a slap.

"Second Miss!" Zhao Momo rushed over, half-stopping her: "You are the 'Miss' of the Hou Mansion, don't lose your status!"

Zhao Lanzhi gritted her teeth resentfully, her eyes were dark and vicious, she slowly lowered her hand, but the silk handkerchief in the other hand was crumpled into a ball by her.

Zhao Yuansong didn't want to talk to her, so he bypassed them and went back to Zizhu courtyard.

---Legendary hero mini-attack collection---

Dingguo Gongfu sent away the eunuch who passed the decree, which also "exploded the pot". Dingguo Gong Feng Zhaohui has been a soldier all his life, and has been a general of the army for nearly ten years. He has commanded over a million troops and made many contributions.Other families are full of children and grandchildren, only him, because he has been fighting all the year round, he only comes back once every three to five years, and he has only three sons under his knees.

Which family's madness did the emperor actually point out to his favorite second son as a wife!

"Damn it, bully me, no one in my family! Come on, please book the iron coupon." Ding Guogong was so angry that he blew his beard and stared, picked up the teacup on the table and threw it on the ground, insisting on going to the palace, using Bei The iron coupon of the alchemy book personally bestowed by Emperor Xuan Kaiguo smashed the current emperor's head full of money.

"Father, don't be angry, listen to me, the child asked for this decree." Feng Jingde didn't expect his father's reaction to be so strong, it was rare to see his father showing his love for his son, his eyes turned red instantly .

"Well, you begged, you begged... what? You begged yourself? De'er, are you crazy?" Ding Guogong was unsteady on his feet and almost fell.

Mrs. Ding Guo hurriedly stretched out her hand to support Ding Guo Gong, she also had a look of shock and anger. "De'er, my mother never knew you liked men?"

Mrs. Dingguo is the daughter of the former prime minister's family. She has given a lot of money and learned a lot. She is not only Dingguo's virtuous helper, but also his military adviser in matters of the court. She often gives advice to Dingguo, a rough man.Mrs. Dingguo knew that her second son was a bit stubborn and a little bit proud, and she couldn't allow others to pour dirty water on him, but he would never mess up his own way in major matters.She heard the rumors about the second son in Yong'an City not long ago, and she thought that the second son would be angry about it, but she never thought that he would go to the emperor to propose marriage.

"Huh? The second brother likes men?" The youngest of the Feng family looked at the second brother who had disappeared for a day and a night, bringing them countless "surprises", and thought to himself: Is the second brother confused?It's so good, why do you ask for a marriage decree, and what you ask is to marry a man and a wife!He clearly remembered that the second brother liked Qingya, could it be that the second brother lost confidence in women because of the woman's deception?

Feng Jingde lifted his robe and knelt down, bowed to his parents, then raised his head, his eyes were red, his attitude was serious, and his tone was solemn: "My child, please help me."

Mrs. Dingguo: "Give us a reason." Seeing the child like this, the second elder of the Feng family knew that something must have happened, so he waved his hands to let the other two sons go out first, and they wanted to listen to the second son's explanation.

The boss of the Feng family and the third child looked at each other, bowed to their parents and left, and left the room. They sent away the servants around them, and personally led the soldiers to guard three meters outside the house.

Inside the house, Feng Jingde still said the same thing, "My child, please let the two elders help you." The two elders of the Feng family looked at each other, worried.Duke Ding stroked his gray beard, with a solemn face, and tried to comfort him: "De'er, the failure of Changyang Pass is not your responsibility alone, so don't put too much pressure on yourself."

Feng Jingde stared at his parents, not knowing what he was thinking, his eyes were as red as blood, his whole body radiated grief, with boundless remorse.After a while, all the sadness turned into unwavering determination, forming a vortex in his eyes, over and over again, condensing into a piece of vicissitudes, and the wisdom that can only be precipitated after experiencing great ups and downs.

The two elders of the Feng family couldn't help being horrified, "De'er, what happened?"

Feng Jingde's lips trembled slightly, his face was hard to say, and he kowtowed again, he only asked: "I ask my father and mother to agree to the marriage between my son and Zhao Yuansong."

Duke Ding still wanted to ask more questions, but was stopped by his wife. She wiped away the tears that fell from the corners of her eyes, and said lovingly: "Mother, trust my child, you can do whatever you want!"

Feng Jingde showed a grateful smile to his mother, and kowtowed deeply, "Thank you mother for making it happen!"

The old wife chose to believe in her son. As a warrior who followed his wife's lead, Duke Ding decided to follow in his wife's footsteps and beckoned his son to get up. "De'er, get up, the matter of Changyang Pass..."

"Father, don't worry, I will learn from it. I have other plans for the follow-up of Changyang Pass. During the period when I was seriously injured and unconscious, I figured out a lot of things. Don't worry, I can handle it. By the way, I Entering the palace, I heard Si Tianjian Zhao Shilang say that this year the north may usher in extreme cold..."

Mrs. Dingguo listened to the two father and son talking about current affairs, but she was thinking about the marriage with the Changle Hou Mansion in her heart.No one in Yong'an city knew that Zhao Yuansong was a playboy at a young age, provoking trouble and having fun all day long.De'er used to look down on this kind of person the most, why did he insist on marrying him today?

She listened to the Duke's analysis of the battle at Changyang Pass, and she knew that the emperor had deliberately sent a worthless servant to drag De'er back. If De'er hadn't been smart, the emperor would have punished him for a serious crime when he came back this time.Dingguo's prestige among the people is too high, and the emperor is becoming more and more afraid of them.In this way, could De'er ask for the decree to marry Zhao Yuansong in order to lower the emperor's vigilance?

Mrs. Dingguo felt very uncomfortable. She didn't want her son to gamble his life's happiness. She began to wonder if there was any other way to get the best of both worlds.

The imperial decree has been issued, and the two families are about to go through a formality.The next day, Mrs. Dingguo sent the housekeeper Wang to ask for Zhao Yuansonggeng's post, and married the most famous Taoist priest of Baima Temple. , everything is prosperous, matching her son's wooden life, greedy wolf, master of wealth and glory, in charge of military and political power, is an auspicious omen, perfect match!

Mrs. Dingguo: "...."

Ding Guogong, who accompanied his old wife to Baima Temple, laughed and said, "Very good!" On the way home, he found that his old wife was preoccupied, and when he rolled his eyes, he knew why she was worried, so he couldn't help laughing : "Madam, since you have promised De'er, why are you still worried?"

"The kid is a man after all!"

"Then why did Madam agree to Del's request?"

Mrs. Dingguo was stunned, recalling her son's sad eyes, her heart was like a knife, "Because De'er wants to marry him..." Mrs. Dingguo lowered her head slightly, let out a long breath, and said softly: "General, I see."

Duke Ding gently held his old wife's hand and patted it.
