Chapter 15: General Wenwu
Since Dr. Yu Shi led the troops to the battle, Captain Duan has been angry, what face does this have for him to talk about in front of his colleagues? In this good weather, Duan Chengye returned home in a hurry, and the official hat had already changed in his hands. Twisted and crooked.
"It's okay if this official doesn't do it!" He sat down on the steps inside the door. Like a wronged child, the subordinates lowered their heads one after another, and no one dared to raise them. The servant went to report to Mrs. Taiwei, and this Taiwei's stubborn donkey temper was only tamed by Sima Zhihui.
"Husband, when you are tired, go to sit in the hall, why do you need the whole family's maid and slave to accompany you?" This Chengye is a wild man, and he doesn't have so many twists and turns, so he must not have noticed these details.
"......" Duan Chengye scratched his head in embarrassment when he saw Zhihuiben's sad face.
"Okay, you all get up, I'm in a good mood today, Madame, and the monthly silver at the end of this month will be double."
"Captain Xie, Mrs. Xie's reward!"
Duan Chengye stood up, Zhihui walked into the hall with his arm, helped the captain sit down, and poured tea together.
"Master, why are you so annoyed today?"
"An Junwu, this old thing! Everywhere in the court, it was aimed at me, and Nian was also a brother who was born and died together back then, and I have tolerated him in every way! Today, the emperor rewarded the meritorious ministers. He actually begged the emperor to reward him to serve in the elite battalion of the forbidden army in Chang'an City! ”
"The emperor can allow it?"
"Yes, he relied on this army to win a complete victory, but which of the generals who went out with the expedition was not my subordinate?! We were also brothers who toasted to eliminate sorrows, not to mention that he An Junwu can come to this day is also highly recommended by me in front of the Son of Heaven! How did you get to such a field today! ”
"Husband, back then, when you recommended An Junwu to sit in the position of Imperial Doctor, have you ever thought about who is the most feared person?"
Duan Chengye woke up from the fog, in fact, when he was young, An Junwu and Duan Chengye were brothers who went to the battlefield together, but An Junwu just had a forced physique, and even almost lost his life on the battlefield several times! He specializes in books, and he also writes a good hand, and he is not a person who goes to war, and then he learned that there is an old mother at home, and a sister who has not left the cabinet. And Duan Chengye was brave and strategic, several times the military camp fell into crisis, he turned the situation around, and soon he was appreciated by the emperor, in addition to the promotion, the reward of ten thousand taels of gold, the emperor also made him a wish. He asked the emperor for a civil official position, thinking that he had rescued An Junwu.
But he was negligent, firstly, he did not take into account An Junwu's thoughts, and secondly, his approach was not so simple in the eyes of his colleagues, but like forming a party for personal gain. In private, some people even call them "civil and military generals". The two of them have a deep monarch's heart in the court, but they don't know that they have gradually threatened Gongsun Hong's status.
Duan Chengye smiled: "Thank you, madam, I was ignorant for my husband." ”
"From beginning to end, you have not been thanked by An Junwu, and the 'good deeds' you have done may have been done with good intentions. Although An Junwu is not good at fighting, have you ever known that he is good at planning! ”
Duan Chengye had an epiphany, only blaming himself for being too pure when he was young, it turned out that this kind of thing for the sake of others could not rely on his own 'wishful thinking' alone. Moreover, presumably An Junwu is not the power of one person, and without the Prime Minister making a hindrance, this scene will not be sung after all. He shook his head and laughed, ashamedly.
"Master, I heard Huai'er say that the doctor's order has been decided?"
"Well, some time ago, the emperor issued an edict, it is Imperial Physician Ning, presumably the holy decree will be sent to Ning Mansion in the next few days."
"Have you ever seen the eldest lady of his family?"
"Madam, how can I see this and this!"
Zhihui smiled: "Blame me, blame me, this Ning Zhong Xin is rising, should we go and congratulate him?" ”
"Just send a congratulatory gift, we don't have to go as a couple!"
"My Lord Taiwei, do you think, Ning Zhongxin's wife is An Junwu's own sister, and now the prime minister is pleading An Junwu against you, why don't you want to find a way to ease it?"
"I'm not going! Going to go, you're going! ”
"Master, are you afraid that the dignified captain will lose so much face when he goes to the Imperial Doctor's Mansion!"
"Madam, if I go, those colleagues don't know how to arrange me!"
"Eh, let them choreograph. It doesn't matter whether An Junwu knows your 'intentions' back then, what matters is your son's lifelong events. ”
Duan Chengye looked dazed, a lifelong event?
"Whose girl did this bastard fall in love with?"
"Miss Ningfu! Huai'er said that this girl was his life-saver. ”
"Oh?"
"It is said that Imperial Physician Ning was also your life-saving benefactor, and now I think of you when you attacked the Huns, and I was afraid, although the army was victorious, but I was seriously injured and dying." Zhihui said with a sour nose and red eyes. This woman's mind and bearing are not inferior to men, and every time she thinks of Duan Chengye, who almost died back then, she loses all her strength.
"Okay, let's go." Duan Chengye was tender, stood up and took Zhihui in his arms. He seldom said sweet words, only this wordless responsibility is what he will do. Zhihui has been married to Duan Chengye for 20 years, gathering less and leaving more, Duan Jinghuai was born until he was four years old before he saw his father, and it was not until Duan Chengye was promoted to this lieutenant that he could be regarded as having some stability, so in Duan Chengye's heart, he loved Zhihui deeply and felt guilty.
Duan Jinghuai heard that his parents would go to the Ning Taiyi Mansion in person, and he happily rushed straight into the hall, looking at his mother who was snuggled in his father's arms, and secretly happy.
"As this man grows up, he becomes more and more unorthodox."
"Hehe, Dad, are you really going to Ning Mansion!"
"If you are a daughter's family, as a father, you just have to wait for someone else's family to propose!"
"Propose?"
"What? What are you waiting for when you fall in love with someone else's girl? waited for someone else's family to come to the door to propose, and it was impossible to rob the family. If I hadn't acted directly for my father, I would have been able to marry your mother? Your mother didn't lose to any man in riding and shooting back then! How many people in Chang'an City are eyeing each other! ”
Sima Zhihui cleared her throat: "Hmph, that's not Huai'er's grandfather and grandfather who set you and me to kiss each other!" ”
"Madam, how can you lose face to me in front of Huai'er!"
The whole family burst out laughing.
