138: The words of the Duke of Dingguo


"Dong Guo told you personally."

After hearing this, Mrs.

Yan raised her eyebrows slightly, "What is it?"

If it was really Duke Dingguo who spoke to Yan Jichang in person, then it must be a big deal.

When Mrs.

Yan heard this, her brows lit up with joy, and the anger just now completely disappeared at this moment.

It seemed that the person who was angry just now was not her.

Mother Zhu, who was standing outside the door, saw that the atmosphere in the house finally relaxed a little, so she ordered someone to bring some tea and refreshments.

Yan Jichang rarely talked to Mrs.

Yan and Yan Yuese.

In normal times, one of the two people would remain indifferent or the other would close his eyes slightly, and neither would take the initiative to break the deadlock of silence.

Today's situation is somewhat unexpected.

Yan Jichang took the teacup handed over by Zhu's mother and nodded slightly, "Well, Duke Dingguo told me personally."

When he said this, his thin lips pursed again, seeming a little embarrassed.

In fact, for Yan Jichang, it was indeed a surprise that Duke Dingguo Shen Chengxiu would take the initiative to talk to him.

Shen Chengxiu was a low-key person.

Although he had many contacts with his mentor Lu Cun, they rarely spoke together during court.

Lu Cun is Shen Chengxiu's father-in-law.

Shen Chengxiu treats Lu Cun like this, let alone him.

This morning, Yan Jichang went down to court as usual, walking at the back of the officials.

But unexpectedly, when he was about to reach the palace gate, he saw Shen Chengxiu standing not far from the palace gate, raising his head and looking at him not far away.

Yan Jichang was slightly startled at that time, but quickly walked over.

He bowed his hands and said hello to Shen Chengxiu.

Shen Chengxiu's current status and real power are comparable to those of the left prime minister.

People like him should still be more respectful in front of Shen Chengxiu.

After Shen Chengxiu saw him, there was a smile on his handsome face, "It's really inappropriate to bother Mr.

Yan today.

However, I still want to ask Mr.

Yan if he is free now.

I have something I want to discuss with you. speak."

What was originally an extremely ordinary sentence made Yan Jichang look a little surprised.

Shen Chengxiu belongs to the Ministry of War, while he belongs to the Ministry of Works.

Two people on official business.

There was no contact at all, but now Shen Chengxiu actually had something to talk to him about.

"Master Shen, you're too polite."

Yan Jichang thought for a moment.

He nodded immediately and said, "Master Shen, please speak."

"Haha."

Shen Chengxiu laughed heartily, his eyebrows full of helplessness, "You are really what they said."

The words just fell.

Yan Jichang looked at Shen Chengxiu with some confusion.

In his memory.

Shen Chengxiu is a very powerful person. then.

The Beilu Kingdom has been causing trouble on the border of Dayan.

Later, the two countries fought, and many children of the Shen family died in this battle.

The fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh masters of the Shen family.

All died in this battle.

At that time, the capital was filled with a sad atmosphere.

Finally, Shen Chengxiu personally led his troops to the border.

In eight months, he could not help but regain the city that Dayan had lost before.

He also attacked the capital of Beilu all the way and beheaded King Beilu.

As soon as the news came out, many people were shocked.

Shen Chengxiu abandoned martial arts and followed literature, although many reasons were because he inherited the position of Duke Dingguo.

But the bigger reason is that he has too many remaining old diseases and is not suitable for working on the frontier.

But it was such a man with old illnesses who, after losing several younger brothers, did something that shocked the court.

Today's Beilu people will tremble every time they hear Shen Chengxiu's name.

A heroic deed wrapped in corpses and horse leather, even if you die, you will eventually be sweating and fragrant.

This battle did not completely collapse the Shen family, and now Shen Chengxiu's eldest son Shen Yanshan has inherited the Shen family's military power.

However, Yan Jichang had never seen Shen Yanshan, but had heard that Shen Yanshan was better than his master and made the Jingjue Kingdom surrender.

When his father-in-law, Mrs.

Yu, heard the news, he happily said to him: "Shen Yanshan is a powerful person and a hero.

What a pity."

Yan Jichang glanced at his father-in-law and asked calmly, "What's the pity?"

"It's a pity that I don't have a daughter anymore."

Mrs.

Yu looked distressed, "otherwise I would definitely let her marry into the Shen family."

Yan Jichang: "" He understood that his father-in-law was just joking, but his father-in-law really admired the young eldest son of the Shen family.

After Yan Jichang thought of this, he looked at Shen Chengxiu with a little more admiration in his eyes.

Shen Chengxiu is a smart man.

When he saw Yan Jichang's expression, he smiled in his eyes, "Actually, this is my merciless invitation.

You can refuse it, Mr.

Yan.

Speaking of which, this child is spoiled by me too."

She did."

Yan Jichang still looked at Shen Chengxiu in confusion, "I don't know what Master Shen is going to say."

The two people stand tall and straight, standing outside the palace gate and are very eye-catching.

The officials who passed by couldn't help but secretly look at the two of them.

The status of the Yan family cannot be compared with that of the Shen family.

Moreover, Yan Jichang is only a fourth-grade person, and there is a huge difference between him and someone like Shen Chengxiu.

But at this moment, the two people were standing together talking and laughing, which was indeed surprising.

Even when Lu Cun passed by, he was a little surprised when he saw his favorite disciple and his son-in-law standing together, their old faces showing.

After thinking of this, Yan Jichang slowly calmed down and said to Mrs.

Yan, "Dong Guo Ding would like to invite Su Su to accompany Princess Minghui to stay at Zhuangzi near the military camp in the suburbs for a few days."

After he finished speaking, he felt some pain in his forehead.

On the outskirts is the Shen family's military camp, and in the past few days, the Shen family's military camp has also begun to select war horses.

Shen Cangcang was originally the queen of the generals, so it was normal for her to be interested in war horses.

Therefore, Shen Cangcang is going to stay near the military camp in the suburbs for a few days, and take a look at the newly selected war horses for the camp.

Duke Dingguo said that it would take about three days.

Although the folk customs in Dayan were open and the state encouraged widows to remarry, Yan Jin was a young lady who lived in a deep house after all, and it would be somewhat damaging to her reputation if she appeared in public.

Although Yan Jin is accompanying Shen Cangcang this time Yan Jichang has been hesitating about this matter.

"Brother, are you saying Princess Hui invited Su Su to the military camp?"

Yan Jisheng showed a surprised look, "Could it be that you want to invite Su Su to watch the war horses together?"

Yan Jisheng is often busy in the Shen family's military camp, so he has heard a little bit about this.

This time, he selected all the horses sent by Dali.

However, Yan Jisheng suddenly received a mission a few days ago.

Shen Yanshan asked him to mobilize people from the Shen family's military camp to protect Princess Minghui at the small village not far away.

Yan Jisheng is a soldier, and his duty is to obey orders.

So when I received this task.

He then sent people to Zhuangzi to wait for the arrival of Princess Minghui.

In the past, the person who did this was Song Qian.

But this year.

Shen Yanshan asked him to do it.

This is trust in him.

Princess Minghui likes war horses.

If she is in a good mood.

Occasionally I would go to the military camp to see the horses.

However, Princess Minghui’s movements are slightly louder this year.

After Yan Jichang heard what Yan Jisheng said, he nodded.

"Um."

Yan Jisheng was stunned and said, "Brother, that is the Shen family's military camp.

That is the Shen family's military camp."

The Shen family has always been strict in managing the army, and few people can freely enter and leave the Shen family's military camp.

Shen Cangcang is an exception The prestige of her father, Mr.

Shen Qi, and her mother, Mrs.

Shen Qi, was admired by many people.

Therefore, she is relatively free when leaving the military camp.

This time, if Yan Jin accompanied Shen Cangcang, the people around him would not object.

However, if Yan Jin went alone, he might not be able to enter the sentry post three miles away from the military camp.

Even his status in the military camp is not as high as Shen Cangcang's.

Yan Jichang was startled for a moment, then smiled helplessly.

No wonder Yan Jisheng was so surprised.

The Shen family has always been low-key in dealing with things, but this time Shen Cangcang suddenly became high-profile, which really made people around him a little unpredictable.

Mrs.

Yan on the side coughed slightly after seeing Yan Jisheng's expression.

Yan Jisheng also realized that he had lost his composure, and he lowered his eyes in embarrassment and stopped talking.

Mrs.

Yan had a smile in her eyes, "Are you going with Princess Minghui to live in Zhuangzi?"

Yan Jichang nodded, "Yeah" "Are there any other ladies going this time?"

Old Mrs.

Yan thought for a while before saying, "If Princess Minghui is with her, it will actually be fine."

Yan Jichang was not surprised at all by Mrs.

Yan's answer.

He just shook his head and said, "I don't know if any young ladies from other families are going with him, but the daughter of the Right Prime Minister should be going."

The Bo family has been getting close to the Shen family these days, and it is not difficult to guess what the Bo family is thinking.

Bo Ruyan, the little daughter of the Bo family, grew up in the hands of Prime Minister Bo, and the Queen Mother had doted on her even more in the past few years.

Even the current emperor is full of praise when he mentions this little daughter of the Bo family.

Previously, some people speculated that the young daughter of the Bo family had never been engaged and must have been prepared for the prince.

She would definitely be the future crown princess.

But Yan Jichang knew that this was not the case.

The prince was very young and thin, and the Bo family had never thought about climbing up the royal family again.

From the moment Bo Ruyan was born, her future path had already been determined.

What the Bo family is interested in is actually the Shen family.

If the Bo family and the Shen family join forces, Xie Liangtian, the left prime minister in name only, may not even be able to keep his name as left prime minister.

Yan Jichang felt a little prickly in his heart when he thought of Xie Liangtian.

He really didn't want to think about this person too much.

"Is that so?"

The smile on Old Mrs.

Yan's face grew stronger and stronger.

She seemed happy to hear such news.

She didn't even remember Yan Jichang's rudeness just now.

For Mrs.

Yan, this was a great opportunity.

Whether it is the Bo family of the Right Prime Minister or the Shen family of Duke Dingguo, their status cannot be reached by the Yan family.

But now, there is such an opportunity in front of him.

Old Mrs.

Yan thought for a while, then said to Yan Jin, who was sitting below silently and looking a little dazed, "Susu, you go back and prepare, and accompany Princess Minghui to live in the suburbs for a few days, okay?"

Although she asked Yan Jin in a questioning tone, Yan Jin knew that Mrs.

Yan's words could not be questioned or resisted.

However, Yan Jin was a little confused as to why his father told his grandmother about this matter and let her make the decision herself.

Father, what are you thinking about?
