The next day, Su Mulian, who was still asleep, was woken up by Yi Dong's stiff shouting, which made Su Mulian, who was angry to get up, turn over and sit on the bed, squinting her eyes and hating Yi Dong.

"What do you want to do early in the morning? Do you want anyone to sleep? Didn't I tell me not to get out of bed? ”

Yi Dong saw that Su Mulian was angry, and hurriedly and cautiously comforted: "The princess is angry, it is the prime minister who is here, and she also brings her daughter." ”

"Come on, do I have to meet them as a princess?" Su Mulian, who was yawning, asked impatiently, obviously missing the point that Yi Dong wanted to express.

Yi Dong saw that she didn't care, and she was even more helpless, and she was a little crazy in her heart, but she still held back and explained softly: "Princess, this young lady of the prime minister's family came to the General's Mansion with her, I'm afraid it has another purpose, right?" ”

Su Mulian, who heard this, thought about it carefully, nodded approvingly, and said: "Cheng Aoran is a general at a young age, and it is natural to have suitors, but I didn't expect it to be so crazy, and I chased it to the house, and sure enough, I had to fight my father in ancient times." ”

Yi Dong looked at her and crackled and babbled, and explained in a hurry: "Princess, you better go and have a look." ”

Then Su Mulian was reluctant to let Yi Dong dress up, and then came to the main hall of the General's Mansion, and saw Cheng Xiujie sitting on the main seat from a distance, with a serious face, and the prime minister and daughter sitting on the left.

After walking in, the three people also stood up and said goodbye: "See Princess Zhaohua." ”

Su Mulian looked at Prime Minister Chu Deze, who was about the same age as Cheng Xiujie, wearing a dark gold silk robe, with a proud face that seemed to ignore everyone, and her eyes shifted to Chu Zhizhi, the prime minister's daughter beside her.

Chu Zhizhi was wearing a long cyan skirt and combing a simple bun, although his face was gentle, his eyes showed disdain for the people around him, including Su Mulian.

Su Mulian let out a faint "um", sat on the other side, and looked at the Chu father and daughter expressionlessly, inexplicably very disgusted with them.

"Princess Ben came suddenly, she won't disturb General Cheng and Prime Minister, right?" Su Mulian involuntarily put up a stand and asked rhetorically.

"No, Lao Chen and Brother Cheng have been old friends for many years, and now that they are here, it can be regarded as reminiscing." Chu Deze smiled perfunctorily and replied.

Su Mulian looked at Cheng Xiujie's reaction, and it seemed that she didn't want to catch up with this old friend.

"I'm unofficial now, and besides, the last time we saw each other was twenty years ago, so how can we catch up?" Cheng Xiujie asked sarcastically.

This made Chu Deze cough lightly in embarrassment, and hurriedly raised a smile to ease the tense atmosphere, and said, "Brother Cheng, are you blaming me for not helping you intercede with the emperor that day?" ”

Su Mulian took a sip of tea, it seemed that this was another old thing, and she was very interested in wanting to know a thing or two.

Cheng Xiujie sneered softly, raised his eyebrows uncomfortably, and said with a long sigh: "The Prime Minister is too worried, whoever dares to intercede at that time will only end up in the same fate as me, and Mingzhe is the wisest choice in the court." ”

Chu Deze saw that he said it so clearly, although his face was angry, he endured it, and smiled pretending not to care: "I think we went to Beijing together, and said that in the future, the children will grow up and become in-laws!" ”

"Married?" These three words attracted Su Mulian's attention, and she thought silently in her heart, "Isn't this a baby parent?" Could it be that this Miss Chu is Cheng Aoran's fiancée? ”

After Cheng Xiujie heard this, he couldn't help but sneer in a low voice: "My Cheng family became a chaotic minister and thief overnight, and this marriage contract was also made by yourself, why is it that now that I have been wronged, you will come to tell me about my in-laws?" ”

Although his words are not good, they are true, who in the court will not see the wind and turn the rudder? How many faces? As a soldier, what Cheng Aoran hates the most is the atmosphere of the imperial court, and the one he looks down on the most is the Wen Chen.

Chu Deze, who was in embarrassment, smiled embarrassedly, and said meaningfully: "Brother Cheng, I couldn't stand you back then, but there were losses and gains, and now I am proud to become the emperor's important minister." ”

Cheng Xiujie took a sip of tea and asked mockingly: "If you marry your daughter to Aoran, you are not afraid that he will repeat my mistakes?" At that time, I am afraid that Miss Chu will be affected. ”

Chu Deze listened, and the smirk on his face stiffened, he didn't expect that more than 20 years later, Cheng Xiujie's temper was still so impulsive and straight.

At this moment, Chu Zhizhi stood up, looked at Cheng Xiujie with an embarrassed face, looked pitiful and pitiful, bent his knees slightly, and said in a coquettish voice.

"Uncle Cheng, my father came this time, just to clear up the misunderstanding back then, after all, this incident made him blame himself for more than 20 years, and asked Uncle Cheng to give my father a chance, you used to be such good brothers."

Su Mulian listened to her words, and couldn't help but exclaim in her heart, this Chu Zhizhi is not simple! Let's talk about it one by one.

Cheng Xiujie snorted coldly: "I have already been disarmed and returned to the field, as for the purpose of the Prime Minister's visit to the house today, it is better to say it bluntly, I don't want to go around in circles." ”

Chu's father and daughter glanced at each other, only to see Chu Zhizhi walk out, and bent his knees and said, "Please also ask Uncle Cheng to let me stay in the General's Mansion to atone for my father's sins and take care of General Zhenyuan." ”

As soon as these words came out, Cheng Xiujie and Su Mulian were shocked, and looked at Chu Zhizhi, who had a serious face.

Su Mulian smiled in her heart, this Chu Zhizhi is very in line with the knowledge of the elders, the daughter of a rich family, but she didn't expect her scheming to be extraordinary, and she actually said her mind so high-sounding.

Cheng Xiujie, whose face did not change, said coldly: "Thank you Miss Chu for your kindness, proudly having the imperial doctor to take care of her, and Miss Chu's status is noble, so she doesn't dare to bother." ”

The implication of his words is just to say that Chu Zhizhi is pampered, and how can he know how to take care of people.

After hearing this, the smile on Chu Zhizhi's face gradually faded, and he frowned unwillingly, and said, "Uncle Cheng, I know that you don't want to forgive your father, now that my father is old, I just want to atone for him, so that my body can be healthier." ”

Su Mulian admired her logic very much, and couldn't help but say: "It's better for Miss Chu to eat fasting and chant Buddha every day, wouldn't this be more sincere?" And he was directly blessed by the Buddha. ”

Chu Zhizhi, who was scolded, was naturally unhappy, but he pretended to pout, knelt on the ground, and insisted: "If Uncle Cheng doesn't agree, Zhizhi has to kneel for a long time, even if my father persuades me, it won't work." ”

Su Mulian could see that it was not useless, but it had been discussed a long time ago.

Cheng Xiujie obviously didn't want to be involved in right and wrong, so he waved his hand in annoyance.

"Steward Zhang, clean up the habitat."
