MTL - After Being Forced to Marry the Evil Star General-Chapter 3
The flow of people on the street was thinning, and occasionally officers and soldiers were patrolling. When they saw a group of people squatting on the ground laughing wildly, they stepped forward to ask what happened.
Zhong Yuehong pointed to the only man who was standing with a sad face on his face and said, "It's okay, it's just that we will... Our elder brother will be laughed at."
Yan Mingting rubbed his face, shook off them and strode forward, and those people hurried to catch up again.
"I'm sorry, I promise I won't laugh anymore." Zhong Yuehong wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and then patted the other brothers, "Stop laughing too."
A group of people laughed and laughed for a long time before calming down. Zhong Yuehong said with emotion: "This Zhao Yelan is too ignorant, how can he open his eyes and talk nonsense, with the general's heroic appearance and appearance, the King of Lanling might feel ashamed when he sees it, how dare he call it a pig spirit?" Reincarnation, poof—"
Yan Mingting turned around and glared at her, she immediately covered her mouth and laughed non-stop.
The others laughed again, and He Cuizhang said, "General, why didn't you go in and let him have a good look at it? Has he really seen you? Are you talking nonsense?"
"Yes." Yan Mingting replied.
Everyone was quiet, and immediately rushed to ask when and why we met, why didn't you reveal anything?
Yan Mingting also did not expect that the person whom he met once when he was young would marry him in the end.
Since he could remember, he was taken to the frontier by his father, and almost never stayed in the capital.
Only once, he was extremely heavy, his face was abnormally swollen, his eyes were black and blue, he had difficulty walking, and needed help. The military doctor was at a loss, so his father took him back to Beijing to find an imperial physician. While he was being treated at the mansion, he heard that the third prince had come to talk to his father.
In those few days, the princes all came to look for their father, just to win him over, but the situation was still unclear, and there were constant wars at the border, so my father was always very worried.
He felt curious, among the few princes, the third prince was not favored by the emperor, and his mother and concubine died young, without any power support at all, why did he want to grab that seat?
So he asked his servants to help him to have a look, but as soon as he walked into the courtyard, he met a frail young man, his face was as white as snow, he took two steps and coughed three times, which made him unable to stand. Called people back: "Who are you? Why did you come to the general's mansion alone?"
The young man raised his head, seeing his appearance, he was stunned for a moment, and replied: "The villain, Zhao Yelan, came with the third prince."
"Zhao Yelan." Yan Mingting read his name once, chatted for a while, and was urged by his servants to go back to the room to take medicine. He glanced at the man again, and ordered someone to catch a chicken from the yard and stuff it into Zhao Yelan's hands, "Look at you, you're so skinny, you were blown away by the wind before you went to the battlefield."
"I don't go to war."
Yan Mingting didn't care about him, walked to the end of the corridor, looked back, the young man was holding the flapping chicken wings, he was so stiff that he didn't know what to do, his brows were almost knit, and he went back to the room cheerfully.
"I don't know whether the chicken was stir-fried or stewed in the end." Yan Mingting muttered.
"What chicken? You ate so much just now, aren't you full, General?" He Cuizhang asked.
"It's nothing." Yan Mingting said seriously, remembering that there is still business to explain, "Go back early to rest and recharge your spirits. Remember to be careful when you go to court tomorrow. Don't bring those vulgar words to the court to make people laugh."
Several people fought many battles with him, and the emperor wanted to reward them for their merits, so they returned to Beijing with him. Some of his subordinates will continue to be stationed at the frontier, and he will also receive rewards for them and settle down their families.
"Then can we see Zhao Yelan's true face tomorrow?" He Cuizhang eagerly asked, "I want to see what he looks like, dare to make fun of our general!"
Zhong Yuehong was not very straightforward: "I don't like him, didn't you hear what the common people said just now? How many bad things has he done? How can he be worthy of being a general? Besides, the emperor's arrangement is aimed at the general, trying to trap him General."
Yan Mingting glanced at her sternly: "This is the capital, so be careful when you speak."
Zhong Yuehong curled her lips: "I hate the capital city, and I still have to go back to Daying after I finish my family visit. My house is coming soon, so please leave."
The next day, before dawn, Yan Mingting got up and changed his clothes, specially shaved his beard, and took a picture in front of the bronze mirror. No matter how he looked, he didn't look like a pig spirit, so he went to court triumphantly, wanting to see Zhao Has Yelan's appearance changed, and he wants to show him the beauty of King Sailan Ling!
That's what the soldiers say!
Unexpectedly, the hundreds of civil and military personnel in the Manchu Dynasty did not see Zhao Yelan alone, saying that they were on leave due to illness.
Tsk, as expected, he is still the guy who coughs three times after taking two steps, he hasn't improved at all.
The emperor lavishly praised the officers and soldiers, and the promotion of officials and honors was also a reward. It was very exciting, and all the subordinates looked excited.
When it was Yan Mingting's turn, the emperor was stunned for a moment, his brows frowned briefly, and then he smiled and said, "General Yan seems to be different from the rumors."
At noon, the sun finally played a role and dispelled some of the chill. Zhao Yelan was bored lying on the bed, so he went to sit in the courtyard and bask in the sun.
Xiao Gao just came back from outside with a basket on his shoulders. Inside were freshly picked melons and fruits, which he washed and put aside. He picked up a pear and peeled it, and told him what happened outside: "A few people in the restaurant had their tongues pulled out last night. Yes, the government is looking into this matter."
Zhao Yelan took the pears and asked calmly, "What did you find?"
"Find us here."
"Where are people?"
"gone."
Zhao Yelan sneered twice: "You know the mastermind is here, but you dare not come in and investigate?"
Xiao Gao smiled: "How could you have the guts to ask your lord to take care of them before you leave. By the way, the emperor rewarded some medicines, which have already been put into the warehouse."
"Ok."
"The warehouse is a bit bright today."
"Night Pearl."
"Is it also a reward from the emperor?"
"Ok."
"The emperor treats you very well."
Zhao Yelan smiled meaningfully, and exchanged a loose veil for a night pearl. Is there a more cost-effective business than this?
Xiao Gao picked up a few more trivial things to say, Zhao Yelan fell into a drowsiness, and Xiao Gao was very worried: "I know that you want to hear something about the court, but I am too small to find out."
"Forget it, someone will come to tell you."
"Who is it?" Xiao Gao asked curiously.
"I don't know, I also want to know who came first." Zhao Yelan looked at the deserted courtyard, and leisurely asked Xiao Gao to prepare some snacks and hot tea.
Xiao Gao naturally prepared according to his preference, and when he came out with a plate of dim sum, he saw that officials had already come to visit in the living room, put down his things carefully and left, Mr. Xindao is really clever!
"Master Zhao, did you catch the cold again today?" the visitor asked concerned.
"It's just an old problem, Mr. Chen, please sit down." Zhao Yelan sat on the main seat and exchanged greetings with him perfunctorily, a little impatiently.
In these years, he has been planning a great cause for the emperor, and naturally he has met many people. After the emperor ascended the throne, he has won the favor of the emperor, and they more or less follow his example.
The gift of marriage in the past few days has made this group of people a little terrified, suspecting that he will completely fall out of favor, so they are all waiting and watching the situation.
But this morning, the emperor said that Yu Junliang had died in prison, and the officials were surprised. According to the law, he was asked to be executed in public, but he just died in prison so quietly. It was also rumored that Zhao Yelan had met him in the imperial prison. Once they were linked together, it was Zhao Yelang's good deed, but the emperor not only did not punish him. He was also concerned about Zhao Yelan's body.
In this way, how could they not know that not only did Zhao Yelan not fall out of favor, but the emperor always cared about him.
It is reckoned that even if he is married to the great general in the future, there will still be his influence in the court.
So as soon as he came to court, Mr. Chen from the Ministry of Officials came to visit him with a small gift.
"Why did Mr. Chen seek me?" Zhao Yelan asked straight to the point, too lazy to argue with him.
"This... once Yu Shangshu dies, the position of Minister of the Ministry of Officials will be vacant..." Mr. Chen hinted.
"Master Chen is already a servant, so according to the rules, it's time for you to take up the post." Zhao Yelan said flatly.
"There are quite a few people who are greedy for this seat. Although I am the left servant, I still have a right servant. What's more, the right servant has been contradicting your lord at the court meeting. If you let him take the position, it will be a great disadvantage to you...Master Zhao, You have to say a few good words for the old minister in front of the emperor." Lord Chen cupped his hands, "If there is anything that needs me to do in the future, just ask me to do it."
Zhao Yelan twitched the corners of his mouth: "I know it well, and I will naturally intercede for you, but this decision is still made by the emperor, and I don't know what will happen in the end."
"Naturally." Mr. Chen wiped the sweat from his forehead, "As long as you give me a few words of kindness, the matter will probably be settled. At that time, I will definitely back up Dali and come to visit in person."
Xiao Gao had just sent Zuo Shilang away, and welcomed the people from the household department. He put on the teacup again, and before leaving, he heard his adult say: "I know it in my heart, and I will intercede for you, but this decision is still up to you." I don't know what the end will be if the emperor comes to do it."
In the afternoon, several distinguished guests came to the house one after another. Xiao Gao was used to it, and kept busy. He didn't stop until dinner time. He couldn't help squatting beside Zhao Yelan and sniggering: "My lord, you You are really good at talking, and if you scare these people around, I will be able to recite that sentence."
Zhao Yelan glanced at him, then knocked his head: "If you can't speak, don't speak."
Xiao Gao covered his mouth with a smile.
After eating, Xiao Gaonan came over with a pot of hot water to wipe his hands. Zhao Yelan was walking in the courtyard, figuring out plans while digesting food. Suddenly, he thought of another thing: "Why haven't the people from the General's Mansion come yet?" ?”
"what?"
"Didn't you come to discuss the proposal of marriage yesterday? Where's the person?"
"Oh, the old butler asked someone to bring a message, saying that the general is busy with the affairs of the house, so he won't come over, and everything will be kept simple." Xiao Gao twisted the veil, and was about to hand it over when he saw Zhao Yelan Sullen stepped forward and kicked the flipper.
"Simple? Why should he be simple?"
Half of the water was poured, and the basin was still spinning on the ground. Xiao Gao hurriedly supported the basin, and said weakly, "Maybe I don't want to say anything?"
The basin was kicked over by Zhao Yelan again, he took the handkerchief and wiped his hands vigorously, his eyes narrowed coldly: "How dare he despise me when he is an ugly monster? My Zhao Yelan family has a big business, and I am married for the first time. How can I be casual? Prepare the sedan chair and go to the general." Look at this old pig spirit!"
