A banquet was held late at night, the guests returned with laughter, looking at the leftovers everywhere, Shen Ao was stunned and was helped by Liu Wen to rest, and Zhou Heng accompanied several colleagues from the front of the palace until the end to send them away. Young Master Zhou said that he drank very happily today, since he entered the front of the palace, his mood was particularly cheerful, he was not a reading material, now he is a small military attaché, and the friends are all Yu Hou and Dutou under the account of the front of the palace, these people are very angry with Zhou Heng, plus his identity is different, many things in the yamen can help him a little, within a few days, he is familiar with everyone, every morning to go to the front of the palace to order, and then or enter the palace to listen to errands, or go to the street inspection, said that the child is at ease.

Shen Ao returned to the house, and suddenly remembered that he hadn't sent Tang Yan yet, there were too many guests at this banquet, and the future father-in-law and him had only seen each other twice, it stands to reason that he was the master of the teacher, and he should have sent it, so he was dizzy to send off the guests.

Liu Wen held him and said with a smile: "Young Master Cousin, the master has sent someone to send it, you better rest first and sober up." ”

"Oh, so?" Shen Ao nodded, his heart was relieved, and he fell asleep.

When I woke up, I found that there was still some time before dawn, I changed my clothes, made an article, and waited until dawn, and when I had nothing to do, I simply went to the front of the palace to find Zhou Heng and Deng Long to play.

Shen Ao announced, Deng Long and Zhou Hengju both came out, the two saw Shen Ao and smiled, haha greetings, Deng Long asked Shen Ao to go to see the commander, saying that the Hu Ao commander had been looking forward to seeing Shen Ao, and wanted to thank Shen Ao in person.

At the banquet yesterday, although Shen Ao and Hu Yan had met and toasted each other, but due to the large number of people, they did not talk in detail, Shen Ao felt that this Hu Commander was a bold person, quite a drop of grace, and the character of reciprocating with springs, so he smiled and said: "Then bother Brother Deng to report." ”

After a while, inside the gate, there was a sudden cannon shot, Hu Yan was wearing a scarlet uniform, and he came out with the big and small generals, this formation was not like welcoming guests, but more like the underworld cutting people.

Shen Ao was startled, it was too imposing.

Hu Yanlong walked over with tiger steps, and Shen Ao hurriedly saluted and said, "I've seen the commander." ”

Hu laughed angrily, grabbed Shen Ao's hand, and said to the left and right: "This is Shen Ao Shen Gongzi...... No, now it's Shen Ao Shen, I often mention it to you, come and see you. ”

Where did the generals behind Hu Yan dare to slacken, they all hugged their fists and said, "Master Shen." ”

Hu Yan and Shen Ao looked at each other and smiled, then entered the government together, greeting each other politely, Hu Yan was quite interested in Shen Ao, and said: "Master Shen, it is said that you and Gao Yannei had a conflict on the street, and you went to Dali Temple, I don't know if it is true?" ”

Gao Yu is also one of the heads of the three ya, and Hu Yan is the same system, Shen Ao doesn't know if the relationship between Hu Yan and Gao Yu is close, so he stubbornly said: "Yes." ”

Hu smiled bitterly and said: "This Gao Yanei is the most domineering, Gao Taiwei has always protected him too much, so he has become more and more unpopular, Shen Ao's trip can be regarded as a lesson for him." But ......" Then, he lowered his voice and said: "Captain Gao, this person will be revenged, Master Shen has offended him, I am afraid that he will not give up easily, and this person is the most favored by the officials, Master Shen should be careful." Hu angrily reminded him meaningfully, as if there was some kind of hint.

Shen Ao looked at this arrogant anger, and had an illusion in his heart, this nonsense, I am afraid that it is not simple, it can be mixed into the high position of the commander of the front division of the palace, if there is no wrist, it is a lie; But what is the hidden meaning of these words?

Shen Ao smiled slightly: "Lord Xie reminds." ”

Immediately looked at this yatang, the yatang is no different from the ordinary yamen, the only difference is that the hot stamping plaque hanging on the front wall is quite dazzling, take a serious look, it is actually the emperor Taizong's handwritten 'Son of Heaven pro-army' four words.

The Son of Heaven pro-army? It is also appropriate to use these four words to describe the front division of the palace, the front division of the palace is in charge of the palace ban, the arch guards the inner city, and is the last barrier to protect the emperor.

Shen Ao realized, according to his understanding of the three ya, the commanders of the front division of the palace have always been the leaders of the three yas, although they are the same as the other two commanders in rank, but faintly, the status is transcendent.

But the current position of Hu Yan is a little embarrassing, on the one hand, as the commander of the front division of the palace, he should have been the most prominent in Sanya; However, everyone in the world knows that Gao Yu, who served as the guard and pro-army Ma Junsi, was the most favored by the emperor and was made a captain, so it was Ma Junsi who suppressed Hu Junsi.

According to common sense, Hu Yan's status should be higher than that of Gao Yu, but the reality is not so; Hu Yan is the commander of the front division of the palace, if there is no mustard in his heart, it is impossible.

After figuring out this section, Shen Ao put down his heart and talked with Hu Yan, and then walked around the rooms in the ya, and he was familiar with the generals and officials in front of the palace, and then he said goodbye.

On the second day, the holy decree came down, and Shen Ao heard the holy decree, and pretended to be surprised and said to his wife: "Why did the holy decree come again, it's really strange." ”

went to receive the will with everyone, as Shen Ao expected, the holy decree of today was to give marriage, and three surnames were given at a time.

Madame was dizzy when she heard it, what Tang Mo'er, what Yang Zhen'er, what Chun'er, she was confused for a while, and when the father-in-law who passed the will left, Madame hurriedly grabbed Shen Ao and asked, "What's going on?" ”

Shen Ao said innocently: "I don't know, and I don't know what the emperor is crazy about, and he suddenly wants to give marriage!" Auntie, my mind is very simple, and now I want to study hard, and I don't even think about getting married. ”

Madame hurriedly scolded: "Don't talk nonsense, how can the official family go crazy, be careful that the wall has ears." Then, she persuaded Shen Aolai: "Since this is the meaning of the official family, this marriage must be done, no matter which family's daughter is, she must also marry into the door, otherwise this disrespect for the decree is a big crime of killing the head." ”

Although she said this, she still didn't react in her heart, the emperor suddenly made a decree to give marriage, and one gift is three, Tang Mo'er She is satisfied, after all, she is the daughter of the country's son of the priest wine, she must be a virtuous and dignified woman, and her tutor will not be bad. As for Chun'er, she has nothing to say, Chun'er was raised by her, her surname is gentle, her hands and feet are diligent, let her preside over the family business in the future, and let Shen Ao worry less. As for that Yang Zhen'er, she has never heard of Yang Jian's righteous daughter, who is Yang Jian? Madame knows, but ...... Madame's eyelids couldn't help jumping, in fact, what Yang Zhen'er looked like, Madame didn't mind, her family background, Madame didn't dislike it, but she understood Zhou Zheng's surname, Zhou Zheng is a very strict person, and he has always avoided having anything to do with the eunuchs, and now he wants to be in-laws with Yang Jian and Yang Gonggong...... Madame sighed, held Shen Ao's hand and said, "When the matter comes, let's wait for the Duke of Guo to come back and then discuss, and follow me to the Buddha Hall to sit down first." ”

Shen Aoying came down and glanced at Zhou Ruo, seeing that Zhou Ruo's face was expressionless, and he couldn't guess what mood she was in at the moment, but facing Zhou Ruo at the moment, she was a little depressed in her heart.

In the evening, Zhou Zheng returned home, Menzi immediately reported, Mrs. hurriedly called someone to invite him to the Buddha Hall, not long after, Zhou Zheng opened the curtain and came in, presumably also learned about it from Menzi, his face was not shocked, and he did not know whether he was happy or worried.

Madame told the truth of the matter again, and Zhou Zheng frowned and said, "Good manner, what did Your Majesty do when you suddenly give marriage?" I haven't heard of anything before. ”

Mrs. said: "The first few times the official family sent edicts, they all reprimanded Shen Ao for being ignorant, maybe they wanted Shen Ao to take care of himself, so he gave these marriages." Then he smiled bitterly and said: "It's okay to give marriage, give three at a time, can Shen Ao, this child, afford it?" In my opinion, this official family is also a dog and a mouse. ”

Zhou Zheng smiled and said, "Miss Tang family, I have heard of it, she is a famous talented woman in Bianjing City, and this family business is very good. As for Chun'er, is that girl from the past? ”

Mrs. said: "It's her, she was taken back by her family a few days ago, and her surname is excellent." ”

Zhou Zheng nodded, the identity of the lady is not high, Zhou Zheng is still married, so he doesn't mind the identity, and said with satisfaction: "This girl's surname is very gentle, originally I wanted to find a good family for her, marrying Shen Ao, it is okay, since it is a marriage, the decree will come down sooner or later, who can say anything about her?" ”

Madame glanced at Zhou Zheng worriedly, and said, "Grandpa, have you heard of that Yang Zhen'er?" ”

Zhou Zheng frowned and said: "It's strange here, I haven't heard of Yang Jian's righteous daughter before, why is there suddenly an extra righteous girl?" What's more, Yang Jian is an eunuch, and our Zhou family is a bit flattering to marry him. Hey......" Zhou Zheng said, and couldn't help sighing, the Zhou family is a big family, although Yang Jian is powerful, but after all, his reputation is not very good, and marrying him is difficult to guarantee that someone will gossip.

Madame said: "Those gossips are nothing, what do we have to do with other people's mouths?" What I'm most worried about is this Yang Zhen'er's surname, if her surname is not good, I am afraid that the family will be restless in the future, if she is knowledgeable, there is nothing to worry about. ”

Zhou Zheng smiled reluctantly and said, "Since the holy decree has come down, what's the use of saying this?" Prepare the dowry immediately, prepare to make a decision, and leave this matter to Madame, and I will inquire again to see what the news is. ”

Zhou Zheng said, and then said to Shen Ao: "Shen Ao, do you know Yang Zhen'er?" ”

Shen Ao said: "There was a trip to Gonggong Yang's mansion, but there was a fate. ”

Zhou Zheng nodded his head, and sighed again: "Don't care about these for now, it's useless to say anything more." ”
