He Wukui nodded, Su Zhongming was stunned for a while, but he didn't know how to answer him again.After a moment of silence, He Wukui sighed: "It's really rare that a beautiful woman is different from her father. Such an ambitious general who will do anything for power and status will have such a kind daughter."

"Could it be... that Le Ling gave her to Ruan? Maybe he knew about your affairs and was unwilling to betroth his daughter to you, so..." Su Zhongming made a bold guess.He Wukui said: "Weichen also thought about it before. Weichen's family background was in decline, and she had no power at that time. It is reasonable for her father to disagree."

Su Zhongming thought for a while, and said, "It's just that it's very difficult to do now, because you are the tutor of Wenguo, and Ge Yunguo seems to be somewhat hostile to Wenguo." He Wukui replied: "Exactly." Su Zhongming smiled , "Hearing you talk about these experiences, I feel more and more courageous now."

"Congratulations, Your Majesty..." He Wukui congratulated her watch again.Su Zhongming stretched out his right hand to him, with the palm facing up, He Wukui looked down, full of doubts, "This is your Majesty?" Su Zhongming replied with a smile, "Do you have any money with you? Lend me some! I am short of money." Very much." He Wukui frowned slightly, "Your Majesty is the king of a country, how come there is no money for it?"

"Guoku's money is for meritorious service, so I can't use it. My pocket money has already been spent on a trip to Jialing Kingdom last time, and I haven't paid this month's money yet! You can lend it to me first, and I will return it to you next time." Su Zhongming A serious expression.He Wukui was helpless, took out a money bag from his body, took out a pair of silver and put it in his palm.

Su Zhongming held the ingot of silver in his hand and was extremely satisfied. He took He Wukui to visit Chenghong Garden, one of the imperial gardens, and then ordered someone to send him out of the palace and back to his residence.He stayed in the palace for too long and was too bored, so he ran to Yitian with the money he just got and asked, "I just got the money and I plan to go out for a walk, do you want to go?"

The little ghost was practicing calligraphy with a pen, and when he heard this, he immediately raised his head, "But I haven't finished the homework that the teacher gave me." Su Zhongming said generously, "It's okay, the teacher is happy today, and he is very lenient to you. Come out with me." , if there is any delicious food on the street outside, you can eat it for free! My treat!"

Hearing that, the kid became happy, immediately threw away the writing brush in his hand, got up and followed him out.When the two left the palace, the little ghost was like a little book boy, who was sent to carry oil-paper umbrellas and fans, but he still followed Su Zhongming closely, walking all the way to the south of the city, because most of the south of the city sells food.

Su Zhongming walked and watched all the way, and smelled the aroma of beef noodles, but he was not very hungry but just a little greedy, so he didn't stop.Walking straight ahead and watching, there was a yelling for tofu nao, the little devil stopped and begged boldly, "Teacher, I want to eat..." Su Zhongming interrupted his chapter, "What do you want?" , there is a pawn shop in front, let's go there first and change the big money into small money, so that we can use it."

That's it, if you buy a bowl of tofu nao for a tael of silver, the seller will be dumbfounded to see it, let alone changing the money.The little ghost thought about it for himself, then followed Su Zhongming into a pawn shop, and watched Su Zhongming put a tael of silver on the shop's table.Su Zhongming opened his lips to the shopkeeper, "Can I exchange regular money here? I want to exchange regular money."

The owner of the store glanced at him first, then at the silver, and replied, "Of course!" Immediately, he quickly took a jar of copper coins, poured them all on the table, and counted them one by one. After [-] copper coins, take a thin hemp rope, align them with the square eyes of the copper coins, and string them together, and hand them over to Su Zhongming, who himself takes the one tael of silver.

Su Zhongming took out some money from it, put the remaining string of money into a kit bag, and hid it in the little ghost's demon room. He also gave him a warning, "Be careful, if you lose it, you have to pay for it." .” The little ghost was deflated and had no choice but to let go.The two walked back, and when they heard the yelling again, the little ghost said again, "I want to eat bean curds!"

After a while, when I came to a fried stone snail stall, Su Zhongming couldn't resist the spicy smell, so he stopped and asked the stall owner, "How much is a bowl?" The stall owner replied, "Three dollars. "Su Zhongming paid generously, "I want a bowl." The stall owner took the money and threw it into the wooden box behind him, then filled him with a bowl of snails, and handed him two or three very thin bamboo sticks.

Su Zhongming carefully carried the bowl to the Dafang table, took the water bag from the little devil and washed his hands, and started eating as soon as he sat on the bench.He first picked up the snails fried with perilla and chili, and swallowed the delicious snail juice hidden in the snail shell, then took off the snail door, picked out the snail meat in the shell with a thin bamboo stick, and put it in his mouth. This is the way to eat.

The kid next to him stared straight at him, his mouth started to get greedy, and begged: "Teacher... give me a taste too? I... I want to eat too." Su Zhongming turned his head and asked him, "Are you afraid of spicy food?" What?" The kid shook his head, and Su Zhongming told him, "Wash your hands first, how can you eat the dirty ones?"

The little ghost immediately did so, took out the water bag himself, washed his hands, and dried the water on his hands, then picked up a thin bamboo stick and ate with Su Zhongming. Continue to search for delicious food, after a long while, I bought lotus seed soup, one bowl for each person, and ate.

The two of them had a long day to spare, and they went to the east of the city for a stroll. After walking for a while, they got a little hungry, so they rushed back to buy wonton noodles. On the way, Su Zhongming saw Dingxuehou's man in the busy traffic. The figure strode forward without hesitation, stopped him directly, and asked, "Where are you going? To Zuolinfang?"

Ding Xuehou was taken aback for a moment, and replied: "Uh... no, just out for a stroll." Su Zhongming stared at him closely, not quite believing this explanation, and asked him again, "Have you had dinner?" Xuehou replied honestly, "Not yet..." Su Zhongming said, "How about eating wonton noodles with me?"

When Ding Xuehou heard this, he immediately nodded in agreement, followed Su Zhongming to the south of the city, and the three sat down around a square table. Su Zhongming yelled at the stall owner, "Here are three bowls of wonton noodles!" The stall owner responded, and soon, Three bowls of hot wonton noodles were brought, and the three of them took their chopsticks at the same time and started to eat.

"I owed He Wukui a tael of silver today, and you will pay it back for me later." Su Zhongming said to Ding Xuehou suddenly while eating.Ding Xuehou was stunned for a moment, seemingly unbelievable, and blurted out: "You... owe him money?" Su Zhongming nodded, and replied while eating, "My pocket money is spent, so I can only borrow it for the time being, or you can help me out." I."

Dingxuehou was silent for a moment, still unbelievable, "You are above one person, will you have no money?" Su Zhongming replied: "Yes! You have a salary, but I don't! My pocket money is paid on a monthly basis. Those who came down were not as rich as your salary, and they spent hundreds of copper coins when they went out for a stroll, and if they went on a trip, they would not even have enough pocket money for a month."

Listening to his troubles, Ding Xuehou was completely speechless, and finished eating wonton noodles with him. Seeing that it was getting late, he sent the two of them back. On the way, he suddenly put a hand on Su Zhongming's shoulder, and said: " My salary can help you every day, but if you can..." Before he finished speaking, Su Zhongming already understood, so he just replied, "There is no need for that, I can still support myself, although the pocket money is not enough, but in the palace Food, drink, and clothing are also included in the city!"

As for the reason for the refusal, it was because he thought of Princess Shengshi in Dingxuehou's mansion.Su Ruitian and Princess Shengshi's family are distant relatives, which means that Su Zhongming and Princess Shengshi are also distant relatives, and Princess Shengshi is also the wife of Ding Xuehou Mingmei. Su Zhongming is worried that once he agrees, one day things will be exposed. , would damage his face and reputation, so he rejected Dingxuehou again.

Because of this answer, Ding Xuehou's hope was extinguished once again, and he even deeply felt that it seemed impossible for the person in front of him to change his mind and fall in love with him. Struggling and smashing, struggling to the death, he gradually felt a little discouraged, and gradually began to report and abandon himself in his heart.

He returned to the mansion, and in his own yard, holding a large jar of Nurhong, he poured it into his stomach vigorously, trying to soak all the viscera in wine and then die.Princess Shengshi was walking in the corridor, passing by there, seeing him drunk under the moonlight and holding on to drink, she snorted, didn't bother him, and just continued on her own way.

Ding Xuehou drank a few large jars of wine, then fell asleep in the yard, smelling of alcohol, and slept until noon, missing the morning time.In the early court, Su Zhongming looked carefully at the class of ministers for a long time, but couldn't find Ding Xuehou's face. He felt strange at once, and after he retired from the court, he asked the eunuch who served at the court meeting, and only then did he learn about Ding Xuehou's face. It turned out that this day did not come to the morning court.

"I went to eat wonton noodles with you last night, why didn't you come to the meeting this morning? Is it because after eating that bowl of wonton noodles, my stomach is not full?" Su Zhongming whispered to himself while guessing wildly, " But, there is nothing wrong with the wonton noodles? I ate them too, and they are all good, could it be that...the supper at night is not clean? Well, it must be!"

After the chapter, a eunuch came into the hall and reported, "Your Majesty, the servant of the Huangmen is asking to see you." Su Zhongming waved his hand casually when he heard this, and replied, "Let him in." The eunuch immediately stepped back, and after a while, Huangmen The servant entered the hall and said: "Your Majesty, a young man is coming to the palace. This is what he handed in. It is said to be a letter from His Majesty."

Su Zhongming took a look in his hand and replied, "Bring her in!" He then ordered the old eunuch on duty in the palace, "Bring the box with the official seal." The old eunuch obeyed, and after a while, the man surnamed Yan The young woman was led into the palace by several eunuchs. Su Zhongming looked at her and saw that she was still disguised as a man. He couldn't help being amused, "Yan Ying, has your father read the letter written by Gu?"

Yan Ying replied respectfully, "I've seen it, and my father wept with joy. He finally thinks that a woman can take on the role of a man. I went to the palace today to receive an official position." Su Zhongming waved to the old eunuch and ordered him to hand over the box to her , Said: "You open it and take a look."

Then the woman lifted the lid, took out the official seal inside, looked at the bottom of the official seal, and saw the clear words on it - 'Gu Jun Zhen Guo General', immediately knelt down on her knees and kowtowed.Su Zhongming has long been used to it, calm and undisturbed, just replied: "If there is no big deal, don't kneel around. In the next meeting, I will announce that you are an official. You can go home."

"Yes." Yan Ying cupped her hands and said respectfully to him. Just as she was about to turn around, Su Zhongming told her one more thing, "By the way, you can stop by Dingxuehou's mansion to see why Dingxuehou didn't come to the meeting. Write down the situation and have someone send it to Gu here." Yan Ying took the order, turned around and left.
