Chapter 101: Behind the Scenes

The county lord of Shunyun glanced at Cheng Yiyao, closed his eyes and rushed out directly: "My second brother asked me to ask you, would you like to leave with him!" ”

"What?" Cheng Yiyao didn't switch from his thoughts and Lord Shunyun's words for a while, and looked at Shunyun a little sluggishly.

"My second brother, he wants to ask if you would like to leave with him!" The county lord of Shunyun didn't dare to look at Cheng Yiyao, lowered his head and said, "I know that I shouldn't come to talk to you about this matter, but I look at the second brother is really pitiful, you don't need to give me any answer, I'm here to bring a word!" ”

Cheng Yiyao also recovered from shock at this time: "You're not helping him, you're hurting him." If people listen to it, your second brother and I will be finished! Cheng Yiyao said softly, "You go back and tell your second brother that we didn't do these things ourselves, so don't think about it again in the future." ”

"Yao'er, I'm ......" Lord Shunyun's face turned pale, looking at Cheng Yiyao full of shame, and finally got up and left without saying anything, feeling sad that she was afraid that she would lose this friend.

Cheng Yiyao didn't say anything to stop it, she didn't know what to say, such a topic couldn't continue, but the embarrassment caused by this matter stayed here, and the two could only be relatively speechless.

After the county lord of Shunyun left, Cheng Yiyao got up and lightened, and couldn't help sighing, not to mention that she didn't mean that to Xuanyuan Chenggu, even if there was such a thing as elopement, she couldn't do it.

Besides, Xuanyuan Chenggu, Cheng Yiyao didn't think how much he liked himself, maybe it was because he thought about it but found that it could never be realized, so he had such an idea, and when he calmed down, the only thing left was regret.

Cheng Yiyao didn't want to face her husband's remorse for the rest of her life, and then gradually became disgusted with herself because of this remorse, and finally angered her, and at that time, it didn't matter whose fault it was at the beginning.

Cheng Yiyao's family affairs were initially decided, and Mrs. Guogong and Mrs. Situ had already negotiated that day. Nacai is still indispensable, in early September, the Situ family invited a matchmaker to come to the Chengguo Mansion to propose, and in the same month, the Situ family asked Cheng Yiyao's eight characters, and after closing the eight characters, Situ You's eight characters were sent to the Chengguo Mansion.

"Old lady, the eight-character little woman of the sixth young master's birthday has been sent to you!" Before anyone could see anyone, a woman's voice was heard.

"Trouble the money matchmaker!" The Duchess replied with a smile.

Mama Su on the side stepped forward to take the Geng post, and stuffed a purse into the hand of the matchmaker. "I'm bothering you these days. I'm going to have to bother you after a while! ”

The money matchmaker quietly flicked her hand, and knew that there were five taels of silver in this purse, and the government of the country was generous. It's just that Najib is so generous, and when it comes to the recruitment, invitation, and greeting, it can't be said that it is a large amount of silver, thinking like this, the eyebrows and eyes of the matchmaker laughed: "The old lady is polite, this needs to be said." I don't dare to say anything else, these things will naturally be done properly for you! ”

The Duchess nodded with a smile and said, "Then it will be troublesome to the matchmaker!" "There is a white peony on the other side." You send money matchmaker! ”

Bai Shaofu bowed to the promise, came to the money matchmaker and said, "The money matchmaker is here, please!" ”

Mrs. Qian's eyebrows were full of smiles, and she bowed down and nodded, "Then the little woman will go down first!" After saying that, he bowed and withdrew.

Bai Shao led the money matchmaker all the way out of the Guogong Mansion before returning to Shoukangzhai to resume his life.

The Duchess of Guo handed back the Geng post with Situ You's birthday to Mama Su and said, "You take it and let Master Tzuyun of Huiyun Nunnery help you combine the eight characters!" "Although the Situ family must have been combined, it is only when the family goes to find someone to join it again can they rest assured. This has always been the norm.

"The slave will be gone in a moment!" Mama Su smiled and answered before putting away the Geng post.

As he spoke, he heard the voice of the maid saluting outside: "The slave and maid see the second master!" When I heard the voice fall, I saw Cheng Jingpeng open the curtain and come in and bowed: "Son, meet mother!" Without waiting for the Duchess to speak, she said hurriedly, "Mother is not good, there is an accident on the eldest brother's side!" ”

Duchess Chengguo's face turned pale. I almost fainted, and I held the kang on the side and asked, "What's wrong with your eldest brother?" ”

"Mother rest assured, eldest brother is fine now. But the situation on the border side of the West Beam is not too good! Cheng Jingpeng hurriedly explained, "At the beginning of the month, there was a problem with the grain transported to the west, and it just so happened that the Xiliang army, which had been peaceful for several years, attacked my Dayong border at this time, and at this time the food in the west was in short supply, and the eldest brother didn't know how long it could support!" ”

The Duchess's heart was relieved, and then it tightened: "Hurry up and send the grain and grass over!" ”

Cheng Jingpeng was puzzled: "Now these things are under the jurisdiction of Prime Minister Wang's people, and the grain and grass sent a while ago are simply inedible, they are all moldy grain and grass accumulated a few years ago, but there is no registration record, and now they don't recognize us and we have no way."

I asked them to theorize, and they reasoned that the treasury was also tight on grain and grass, and they couldn't all be shipped out at once. ”

"This is all done by the old puppet of the Wang family?" The Duchess of the Kingdom was extremely angry.

"It should have been instructed by the people of the Wang family." Cheng Jingpeng nodded, and then said urgently, "Mother, now is not the time to think about this, we have to think of a way!" ”

Duchess Guo hurriedly said: "Did you send news to your father?" ”

"Delivered, I sent it to my father as soon as I got the news!" Cheng Jingpeng nodded.

"That's good, that's good!" The Duchess of the Kingdom had no idea for a while, and she muttered for a while before saying, "I'll go into the palace to beg the queen!" ”

"Mother, the emperor also knows about this, but Prime Minister Wang has the support of the queen mother, and there is no problem with biting the grain and grass in front of him, and now the treasury can't allocate excess grain and grass, even if we go to beg the queen mother, we won't use it!"

"Then what do you say, are we going to sit here and wait for death?" The Duchess roared angrily, this is not possible, it is not possible, does she want to see her son in danger and do nothing?

"Mother, what we can do now is to bow to the Wang family, our father and eldest brother are not here, all we can do now is to compromise!" Cheng Jingpeng glanced at the Duchess rather helplessly, lowered his head and did not speak.

The tears in the eyes of the Duchess finally couldn't hold back the tears, why did this happen, did she have to make such a choice? No matter which side she abandons, she is guilty of being big in her life, she can't do it, she closed her eyes and didn't look at Cheng Jingpeng and said, "You go out first!" (To be continued) R655
