Chapter 141 There is a powerful eunuch in the palace
Wang Yuehong attended the family dinner of the minor official, thinking that Zhou Chengzhang was at least a sixth-rank official.
He is also outstanding among all the officials.
who knows.
The ladies didn't take them seriously.
“Mrs. Wednesday, I heard that your family has a tradition of the brother-in-law falling in love with the sister-in-law.
You should be more careful. No matter how many children you have, your husband's heart has never been with you for a day."
Wang Yuehong was very depressed.
Thinking of the way Zhou Chengzhang looked at Su Rutang, the anger in her heart almost burst out.
She sneered:
"Mrs. Zheng, you are so lucky. Your husband has his heart set on you. It's not like us. Your husband has two concubines and a maid."
Mrs. Zheng's face darkened.
Lord Zheng dotes on his concubine. He is a man with a white beard, but he still spends money to buy a sixteen-year-old girl.
"Hmph. Who are you?"
Wang Yuehong was not a pushover either, and she immediately responded:
"What do you say?"
Everyone rushed over to say good things.
Everyone knows that Wang Yuehong is not someone who can be bullied.
I also stopped thinking about it.
Su Rutang sent people to the pharmacy to buy medicinal materials these days, even century-old ginseng.
When others asked, they knew it was used to prolong the old lady's life.
Everyone praised her for her filial piety.
Cui couldn't refute it either.
The maids all spoke highly of Su Rutang.
The days passed into autumn.
People in the mansion found it strange and said that Zhou Wenyi had gone out to study and had not sent back a single letter.
In the palace.
There was a clever little eunuch who was quite favored by the emperor.
In just two months.
He was transferred from a young eunuch who swept the imperial garden to serve in the emperor's presence.
"Du Yue. I heard that you have some opinions about Mobei?" The emperor felt that the new eunuch had red lips and white teeth and had read a lot of books, so he was a useful talent.
Especially the little eunuch's almond-shaped eyes.
Very beautiful.
Du Yue stepped forward and bent down to grind ink for the emperor.
"Your Majesty, there are some things I say that are inappropriate to say."
"You are forgiven."
The emperor's eyes swept across his fair and rosy face.
"That's what the miscellaneous family said."
"General Su is now known as the King of Mobei in Mobei. He is the sky of Mobei.
General Su is naturally loyal. But what about the major generals under him? "
Du Yue glanced at him quietly and lowered his head hurriedly. "I am guilty."
"What's the crime?"
"I am always worried for Your Majesty. Such a huge country relies on one or two people to control the military power. If they have rebellious intentions, how can Your Majesty control them?"
Du Yue took a sneak peek.
Seeing the emperor's serious expression, he spoke:
"Every time I read, I know that the imperial power is attractive. Those generals are not like me, a rootless person. They only rely on the emperor."
"The honor of the family and the future of our descendants all depend on them. If there is a chance, there is no guarantee that they will not have evil thoughts."
"The emperor is sitting in the Golden Palace, how can he hear the folk sayings?"
The emperor touched the pill in the box and said, "If it weren't for the fate, I really want to take off the shackles and follow Taoist Wu to cultivate immortality. Wouldn't that be great?"
"Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven. The future of the common people depends on you." Du Yue said earnestly, "If I sacrifice my life for you, it would be a blessing for me."
"The King of Mobei is also a Mobei wolf. Your Majesty, the sharpest part of a wolf is its teeth."
The emperor stroked his chin.
Thoughtfully:
"You're right. I'll place a few major generals there and transfer Su Buyi away from Mobei. Let him go to the southern border. Su Buyi is used to desert warfare, so it's time for him to learn jungle warfare."
"Your Majesty. I think the eldest son of Doctor Zhou from the Ministry of Works is very suitable to go to Mobei."
"he……?"
Du Yue lowered his head and said, "I heard Master mention this person earlier. He said that something small happened to him and the people of the Su family disliked him.
He was originally tricked by Su Buyi's son. At that time, the Su family father and son always said that they would take him to the army for training, but in the end they severely reprimanded him for a small matter. "
The emperor was in a good mood.
"Your master?"
"My master is an old eunuch in the imperial kitchen. His family and the Zhou family's elders are neighbors. When we occasionally chat, I ask a few more questions."
"Has your master left the palace to retire?" the emperor asked casually.
Du Yue knew that the emperor was suspicious and said quickly, "Master, he has an incurable disease. It happened that the emperor showed mercy last year and sent a group of old eunuchs and palace maids away.
Master always reminds me to remember the Emperor's grace and work for him."
"He is a thoughtful person."
The emperor thought for a moment and said, "Just as you said. Let the youngest son of Doctor Zhou follow the military supervisor to Mobei."
"Your Majesty is wise. This achieves multiple goals at one stroke."
"You are quite clever. Don't do those trivial things in the future, just stay by my side." The emperor smiled, "It is your good fortune that I let Eunuch Su take you with him."
"I am just a dog of your Majesty. Thank you, Your Majesty." Du Yue kowtowed to express his gratitude.
What happened here reached Shang Yan's ears.
Shang Yan frowned.
"Go check out Du Yue."
"Yes."
"Just keep calm. This kid has reached the emperor's side in just one or two months. It seems he has some skills."
"I see this kid is quite young. But he is a tough guy."
Shang Yan sneered:
"Isn't it said that he is good-looking? If the news of his vying for favor is leaked, there will be many brave eunuchs in the palace."
"Yes."
Wait for the person who delivered the message to leave.
Shang Yan thought about it and called a confidant to go to Zhou Mansion.
Su Rutang received the news.
It looked like she had to strike first.
"Chunxi, order someone to prepare a table of food in the front yard, and pick out dishes that the brothers like."
Chunxi retreated in response.
Su Rutang received a letter from Song Huaiyan, who said that she had been to the East China Sea and had eaten a lot of seafood there, but the journey was too long to send the seafood to the capital.
She tried to find a way to transport some dry goods to Beijing for sale.
Looking at Song Huaiyan's letter, Su Rutang felt very happy.
She also wanted to live like this.
Received the letter.
Su Rutang went to the storehouse and picked out some flashy gifts, including a sharp sword.
I picked a few more pots of plants and flowers.
He took a few people to Zhou Wenqing's yard.
Zhou Wenqing went to the training room to practice.
There was only one servant in the room.
Ever since Tiechui was sold out, Zhou Wenqing had only one servant named Tieniu in his house.
Tie Niu was very surprised to see Su Rutang coming over.
"Second Madam. You haven't been here for a while."
"Ever since Qing-ge injured Wen Yan, he has been neglecting him for a few months to temper him. Now, it's time for him to control his temper,"
Su Rutang smiled and said:
"Go call Qing'er over and tell him I have something good to tell him."
"I'll go right away." Tie Niu hurriedly bowed and left.
Su Rutang walked into Zhou Wenqing's room.
Went straight into his room.
He took out the medicine bag prepared by Doctor Shen and poured the powder into the pillow.
Done all this.
She opened the closet again and sprinkled the remaining powder on her clothes and even on the bed curtains.
"Chunxi."
"Second Madam, what do you want me to do?"
"Qing'er's room is too plain. Put out the things we brought." While instructing Chunxi, Su Rutang also directed everyone to place plants and flowers in every corner of the room.
Some have a light plant scent.
Zhou Wenqing ran back covered in sweat and was confused when he saw Su Rutang arranging plants and flowers.
"Mother."
Su Rutang said angrily:
"Why are you sweating all over? It's not good for moisture to enter your body."
She asked Chunxi to bring a towel and wiped the sweat off Zhou Wenqing herself.
"Have you realized your mistakes in the past two months?" Su Rutang looked at him seriously, "You attacked Wen Yan that day. Grandma said that if you don't discipline him strictly, it will definitely lead to disaster in the future."
Su Rutang sighed, "I feel bad too, but it's better than you making a mistake in the future."
Su Rutang did not mention what happened later.
Just talk about what happened between them brothers in the beginning.
"I know I was wrong." Zhou Wenqing didn't expect that Su Rutang was trying to train him, or it was because of his mother.
"If you know your mistakes, correct them. You are still a good boy."
Su Rutang took his hand and sat down. "Your uncle wrote to you. He said that you should go to the Su Family Martial Arts School to train for a month next month, and then go to Mobei after your assessment is over."
“People who graduated from the Su Family Martial Arts School were trained to become centurions, lieutenants, or even major generals when they arrived in Mobei.”
Su Rutang talked a lot.
It fell into Zhou Wenqing's ears, making him dizzy and disoriented.
"Mom, can I really do this?" he was very excited.
The previous resentment towards Su Rutang and the Su family also disappeared. He suffered a lot. It was all the negative influence brought by Zhou Chengru and Zhou Qiongyu.
I also want to leave the Zhou family and start my own business.
