Chapter 66: The Brothers Fight the Wall

Although Deng Chengzhai was indeed a very good candidate for son-in-law, Yun Feng Huang Xiao gave up after thinking about it.

After all, looking at what Chunjia means, she also agrees with Deng Chengzhai to marry a virtuous woman with a clean family and a low family background, so that she can use it more purely for herself; The lintel is low, and after counting the sisters in the family, it seems that there is not enough to live with him, so even if he is forced to marry, I am afraid the result will not be good. Not to mention, it will not be of much help to Mrs. Xie and Yun Fenghuang.

Then why pay a sister out?

Before he fell asleep, he euphemistically mentioned the flood: "Two days before my concubine's death, someone sent some cakes to my brother and sister-in-law, and the person who went there said , the sisters-in-law are all worried about the floods now. It’s strange for me. The sister-in-law is the same as the concubine. She was born and bred in the north, but she has never seen a flood. How can she speak clearly and logically, as if she has seen it personally? I only found out after asking. It turns out that the brothers have been rummaging through the classics for the past two days, and even the sisters-in-law know a lot."

"You want your brothers to work under Ouyang?" Chunjia asked lazily.

Yun Fenghuang leaned over and kissed him, and said with a smile: "I just think that since the brothers have the heart to serve the country, why don't your majesty give them a chance to learn more? After all, Ouyang is old, even if he is old and strong , how long can you run around for the country?"

Chunjia let out a "huh", as if he was thinking about something, and after a while, he said slowly: "Tomorrow, I will call some young officials to ask about it."

Yun Fenghuang felt a little uneasy in her heart. Although she sent someone to send a message back after thinking about it, asking her brothers in the family to pay more attention to this aspect, it is hard to say whether she can pass the emperor's assessment.

After all, Xie Wuzheng, Xie Xiliu and others have talents and learning. Looking at the world, even if they are only their peers, they are not particularly outstanding.

To be able to have today is purely due to the support of her sister.

I don't know how effective it is to sharpen the gun in front of the battle?

But it's hard to continue to say something for them at this point, so I can only secretly pray that they will be better.

The next day she went to report the bad news to Concubine De, saying that Chunjia had annoyed herself because of this, and she couldn't go on pleading: "Your Majesty had a few words with me, saying that he never made decisions about Deng Yueting's marriage. Is it for the harem to worry about? This palace sees His Majesty's complexion is really bad, so I really dare not say any more."

Concubine De was disappointed in her heart, she had taken a fancy to Deng Chengzhai for her younger sister from the very beginning, and felt that apart from his gloomy temperament, there was really nothing wrong with him.

And this gloom was also diluted a lot because of the important use of him by the emperor's own government.

Nowadays, who doesn't think that Deng Chengzhai is a first-class young talent in the temple, with a bright future?

Countless people beat their chests and stamped their feet for not stuffing their daughters to him earlier.

Defei is also one of them.

At this moment, he was very resentful, and he barely concealed it, and thanked the noble concubine for apologizing.

Yun Fenghuang dismissed her with a few words, returned to the Huanhua Palace, and asked people to go to the Taichu Palace to watch, because the emperor had no time to show off to the young courtiers at the court meeting, and out of the consideration of caring for young people, in front of the emperor If the answer is not good with the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, it will have too much influence, and it may ruin a talent who has passed five levels and killed six generals. He must wait for the court meeting and take the time to assess in private.

Sure enough, after noon, Chen Jing came back and reported that the emperor had used some cakes after the court was dismissed, so he ordered people to summon more than 20 young courtiers, all of whom were taxis taken by Enke in that year, and they were scattered everywhere. They were all called.

The descendants of the Xie family and the Jiang family were also among them.

For this assessment, only Yan Yin was on the sidelines, the others were sent out, and there were soldiers guarding the door, so outsiders could not know about it.

All I knew was that after the end, the emperor was in a good mood, and immediately summoned people to draw up an order, led by his son-in-law Xie Wuzheng, and ordered a total of five people to go to the south and serve under Ouyang Yanran's orders.

To say that you obey orders is actually to tell Ouyang Yanran euphemistically that these five are my favorites, and you have to take this opportunity to teach me a lesson.

Xie Wuzheng was the only brother of Yunfenghuang among the five. For this reason, he specially asked Princess Suian to enter the palace under the banner of greeting the Empress Dowager, and went to Xuanqing Palace to explain to Yunfenghuang: "Your Majesty asked The question is very deep and tricky, Thirteen Brothers and the others probably rarely meet the saints, so they couldn't answer for a while...then they were preempted by the son of Yin who was traveling with him this time."

Of course, Yun Fenghuang hoped that this kind of opportunity would be given to her brother Xie Xiliu, but she also knew that even though Xie Xiliu was hardworking and talented since childhood, he was not the kind of extraordinary talent after all, even though he was originally His qualifications seem to be similar, how can the Xie family compare to the teaching and insight that the Yin family can give to his children?

To be honest, if Chunjia didn't let the water go, and if he did a real assessment, it would be a surprise that Xie Wuzheng could be selected, and Xie Xiliu and the others were not selected as a matter of course.

So even though he was disappointed, he was not angry, instead he entrusted Princess Sui'an to pass on a message to encourage Xie Wuzheng, let him do his job well, learn from Ouyang Yanran with his heart, don't rush to fight for power, anyway, he has himself in the palace, and his credit No one can take it away. It is serious to take this opportunity to learn more and prepare for future promotion.

But the next day Xiao Chen immediately sent a post asking for an interview, saying that he had to report to Yun Fenghuang something urgent.

After meeting each other, she began to complain for her husband with snot and tears: "...the husband did not prepare enough, so that he was asked by His Majesty twice in a row, and this was a missed opportunity. But empress, you know What? That day the son-in-law answered the questions fluently, and even learned from what he heard, and his own brothers were astonished, and even those who came from high families all looked sideways at him! Madam, do you think what the son-in-law is doing is a human matter? Without you, he is a countryman, how can he be qualified to be the lord? The empress does not mind that he is the next-door brother, not the brother-in-law, and it took so much effort to pull him into the royal family's son-in-law, he is fine!"

"Following is ungrateful!"

"It's just such a little thing that needs to be hidden. You said that in the future, you can still count on him to remember your kindness and support our fourth room?"

"According to my wife, the son-in-law is not of the same mind with us now!!!"

Yun Fenghuang frowned, and said: "I remember, when Brother Thirteen and Brother Twenty-One went to school together, their studies were similar, and you all knew what happened to Enke's ranking back then. This trip , I heard that His Majesty has never taken special care of anyone, why does Brother 21 answer so well, but Brother Thirteen doesn't know what to ask? Could it be that he didn't take my reminder to heart?"

"How is it possible, my aunt!" Xiao Chen quickly said, "My lord is my brother's brother. Your order, our fourth room, which time is not the most caring and the most serious? After listening to what the lord conveyed, my husband these days, Lian Ji I have never been in my concubine's room, and I hang my head and stab my ass every day, no matter how hard I am! Even my husband did not have such hardships before the eve of the spring! But our family is poor, and there are only a few classics that can be found in a while. Many husbands have never thought of the questions His Majesty asked!"

Yun Fenghuang said: "Then how did brother 21 answer?"

"So my wife thinks that the son-in-law must be hiding something private!" Xiao Chen said angrily, "Although they are all brothers of the same clan, but he lived in the eldest princess's mansion after he became the lord, and he came and went to the noble family, so he could get news and do things conveniently. We can compare! The empress did not forget him at the time, so why couldn’t he share these records with the brothers in the family?! Empress, it’s not the concubine who instigated the Xie family’s children to discord, but the son-in-law’s move is like a fish forgetting the fish (quan) , Crossing the river and demolishing bridges?! He is acting like this before he is in a high position, let alone the future?!"

It's no wonder that Mrs. Chen is so angry. The rise of Mrs. Xie is all because of Yun Fenghuang, so who doesn't think that he should get the most honor as the fourth family who was born in Yunfenghuang?

As a result, Yun Fenghuang won the biggest profit for the family after becoming the favorite concubine: the position of son-in-law.

Just because there was no married man in the fourth room, it fell into the hands of the eldest room abruptly.

From Xiao Chen's point of view, if the eldest family has accepted such a big affection, it is a big debt to the fourth family!

Therefore, the whole Dafang, especially Xie Wuzheng, should not forget about Sifang if there are any good things!

In the end, Xie Wuzheng knew that the emperor personally assessed the future of the relationship, but he still deliberately kept his secrets, which caused his husband to lose the election. Feeling that his wings are stiff, he doesn't want to pay attention to Sifang's kindness to him!

How could Xiao Chen tolerate it?

Because her mother-in-law, Mrs. Jiang, has been suppressing the mistress of the big house and is Xie's de facto wife, Xiao Chen has always felt that it is only natural that the big house should support the fourth room where she is.

Xie Wuzheng's move made her both angry and frightened. She was worried that if Xie Wuzheng really got rid of Sifang, or even Yunfenghuang, he would win the emperor's favor and trust. The most important thing is that this opportunity was given to them by the daughter-in-law of the fourth house again and again!

Wouldn't it be a pain in the ass to think about it?

So Xiao Chen couldn't sleep all night, so she hurried over to remind Yun Fenghuang today.

Now looking at the four households, apart from the noble concubine, no one can argue with Xie Wu, right?

"I will confront the son-in-law about this matter." Yun Fenghuang was annoyed when she heard it, but this was just Xiao Chen's one-sided words, and it might not be because her husband was defeated and her brother-in-law was ranked first in it. So she didn't do it on the spot Instead, he calmed down and said calmly, "Go back."

"Mother, the son-in-law is really not a..." Xiao Chen wanted to say more, but when she saw the Qing people standing behind Yun Fenghuang shaking her head slightly at her, she suddenly remembered that this little girl had her own ideas since she was a child, and she didn't like others to replace her Calling the shots, he quickly stopped talking, thanked you kindly, and then resigned.

After she left, Yun Fenghuang took two deep breaths before holding back his anger, and said to the left and right: "Go and see if your majesty is still busy?"

Knowing that Chunjia is still convenient now, she tidied up her appearance and went over, straight to the point, she begged Xie Wuzheng to enter the palace and said, "This brother is young, and it's his first time to go out to work. I'm afraid that he won't be sensible. I want to tell him a few words."

Chunjia still doesn't know what's going on inside Xie's family at this moment. He has a very good impression of Xie Wuzheng after his personal assessment yesterday, and now he also showed some points, teasing the imperial concubine for being too worried: "I think Xie Wuzheng is very good, noble concubine I found a good son-in-law for Suian, who is really talented. It is even more rare that he is not arrogant and frivolous at such a young age, calm and modest. Although the Xie family is not in the temple, he is very good at raising children. The imperial concubine is one, and Xie Wuzheng is also one."

Yun Fenghuang's heart sank when she heard the words, but she couldn't be happy. Like Xiao Chen, she supported Xie Wuzheng for her own use. What's the difference? Then why did she worry about him?

"Your Majesty, don't praise him too much, otherwise, even if you are a modest person, you may become impetuous if you praise him too much." She said calmly, "Besides, the concubine is also for the sake of Just in case... you just agree!"

As he spoke, he grabbed his sleeve and kept shaking it.

Chunjia never cared much about this kind of thing, she made things difficult on purpose for a while, and enjoyed the coquettish concubine's flattery, so it was fine.

He also reminded Yun Fenghuang that Xie Wuzheng should pay more attention to Princess Sui'an during the days when Xie Wuzheng went away: "I heard that she is in a bad mood these days because of her son."

"When I was away from the summer, I told her that this kind of thing can't be rushed. Besides, she and the son-in-law are still young, so there is no need to focus on it now." Yun Fenghuang was slightly startled, and quickly turned away Qing Dao, "It's only been a few months, why is Your Highness so hard to think about it? Yesterday, His Highness entered the palace to greet the Empress Dowager, and went to my concubine's place, but my concubine didn't notice it! Fortunately, Your Majesty reminded me, otherwise if His Highness So I'm stuck in my heart, what can I do?"

Chunjia said: "Someone said something to me, but I don't know if it's true or not. Anyway, the elder son-in-law is probably not in the imperial capital, so you should be more careful."

Needless to say, Yun Fenghuang will never let people talk about Xie's trying to get the golden branches and jade leaves but treat the eldest princess badly. Continue to worry about your heirs."

The next day Xie Wuzheng received the news and was led to Huanhua Palace. Yunfenghuang cleared the place early in the morning and waited for him. The worry that had already reached the emperor's ears asked him: "How did you guarantee this palace at the beginning? It is said that if the lintel of our house can be honored by the Lord, it is a blessing from the heavens, regardless of His Royal Highness's talent, appearance, and temperament." How, how will I treat you, you will definitely confess the person! But now that you have been married for a long time, and it has not been a full year, you let this palace embarrass yourself and throw it in front of His Majesty!?"

Xie Wuzheng quickly knelt down and argued: "Madam, who is framing this minister? I have always cared for His Highness, and I have been in love with His Highness. Up to now, I have never allowed prostitutes to come close to me when I go in and out of entertainment! Your Highness has never I said that I have any dissatisfaction with the minister, this... regarding the matter of the heir, the minister fully agrees with what the empress said earlier, not to mention your highness - the status is noble, descended to the minister, the minister is grateful, even in our family, I absolutely did not say anything The reason why the bride urged the heirs within three years after entering the house. It's just that the minister has just entered the officialdom, and there is no elder to point out, so it is inevitable that he will be extraordinarily busy. After persuading His Highness once or twice, seeing His Highness never mentioning it again, he only said that His Highness doesn't mind, and also I just thought it was all right... maybe that's why people misunderstood."

"It's just that if you report this kind of thing to the imperial court without verification, I'm afraid someone deliberately slandered and instigated separation, my lord!"

He kowtowed while talking, begging Yun Fenghuang to help him thoroughly investigate to the end, don't let this kind of hidden danger continue, so as not to delay his future, and also ruin Yun Fenghuang's impression in front of the emperor.

Yun Fenghuang looked at him with a frown, and for a moment couldn't tell if he really felt wronged or was he just pretending?

After thinking for a while, she slowed down her tone, and said: "Your Majesty, I have excused you earlier in the morning, but you must know that Your Majesty is wise. If you treat Your Highness only perfunctorily, there is no impenetrable wall in this world. If I want you, His Majesty will never let you go!"

Hit a few words to see Xie Wuzheng with a sincere attitude, and vowed to guarantee that she and Princess Sui'an will have an absolute love as husband and wife, there will be no grievances, and there will be no such thing as perfunctory golden branches and jade leaves... Yun Fenghuang pinched his brows and returned to the subject: "The emperor's assessment You only care about yourself and don’t care what happened to your brother?"
