"Look at that one over there, that's Chang Yingying."
Qi Baoer looked in the direction she pointed. To be honest, if she hadn't pointed it out, he wouldn't have been able to tell that it was a woman.
The other person also had a man's hairstyle, wore men's clothes, and was covered in mud...
"You can see that she is wearing men's clothes, right?"
Qi Baoer nodded. Although the clothes were too dirty to be seen as original, the general style could still tell that they were men's clothes.
Chang Yifei looked disdainful and said nothing, but she had already said everything.
However, what is about to take place below can be explained more clearly than what Chang Yifei expressed. Several ferocious servants were seen pulling away the crowd of onlookers, forcing a passage, and opening a passage for a gorgeously dressed but well-dressed man.
His body was not neat and tidy, and it was obvious that the woman who had hurriedly put on her clothes and rushed over, her whole body covered in air-conditioning, was clearing the way.
Still some distance away from the lake, the woman's angry voice broke through to the lake, "Chang Yingying, you are a bastard, how much do you need a man? You even dare to seduce my man."
?”
The information revealed in these words was so explosive that it instantly attracted the attention of a crowd of melon-eating people. There was no need for anyone to continue to clear the way, and the big guys took the initiative to make way for them to open a road to the sky.
Chang Zhao broke into a cold sweat as soon as he saw the person coming, but now he couldn't hide, so he could only greet her with a stiff smile, "Mrs. Dong Fourth Young Master is here, so we're not far away."
A man with the surname "Dong" came out, and the people eating melon seeds around them all took a few steps back from the visitor.
There is only one family with the Dong surname in the entire capital, and that is the Dong family of Duke Chengguo.
The reason why there is no one named Dong in the court is because there is no one in the Dong family.
When the late emperor first came to the throne, the border was frequently invaded due to the instability of the Qilin Kingdom. At that time, the Qilin Kingdom was at war in almost all directions, so many military commanders at that time sacrificed a lot.
Cheng Guogong and his family are all members of it.
Even at the age of sixty, Duke Cheng Guo personally led his troops to the battlefield and returned home wrapped in horse leather.
Then, none of the eldest son, second son, third son, eldest grandson, and second grandson of Duke Chengguo came back.
The four words "loyal family" are no longer enough to describe the Dong family of Cheng Guogong Mansion.
Nowadays, there are only a group of women left in the Chengguo Palace; the only one who still has a husband is the fourth young lady Dong in front of her.
However, Dong Si is not of the blood of Duke Cheng Guo. He is the child adopted by Mrs. Cheng Guo from a collateral line of the Dong family after all the sons of Duke Cheng's line were sacrificed.
Perhaps because she didn’t want to adopt a baby and have to send it to the battlefield, Mrs. Cheng Guogong specially chose a girl with a bad body. Therefore, Dong Si took the imperial examination route and happened to attend the conference this year.
try.
Even though all the men of the Dong family have died, it is precisely because of this that both the late emperor and the emperor have great respect for the Dong family. The Dong family is low-key, but few people in Beijing dare to mess with them.
Let’s talk about Dong Si, this is the treasure of the Dong family, the continuation of the Dong family’s bloodline; and the status of the legitimate wife he married is also unusual. She is a legitimate second hair from the Dingguo Duke’s mansion, and she followed her father in the military camp since she was a child.
The girl who comes out of the gang is the kind who cracks a whip every time she speaks.
Anyway, in the eyes of the people in the capital, they should just stay away from the Dong family.
Mrs. Dong Fourth Young Master looked at Chang Zhao coldly and sneered without giving any face, "If I don't come here, your daughter will drag me to the bed, right? What, you guys are doing this at home?"
Yuanyuan, both grandma and mother like to use this trick, so my granddaughter and daughter also like to seduce married men?"
What he said was so unkind that Tang Zhao's face turned black on the spot.
Everyone around couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Because the words of Mrs. Dong Fourth Young Master were so shocking that everyone around them was silent for a moment, and this burst of laughter seemed particularly abrupt.
Chang Zhao did not dare to offend Mrs. Dong Fourth Young Master, but which bastard cake dared to laugh at his Chang family?
"who?"
People around me looked at me and I looked at you, but no one would stand up and admit it right now.
Everyone is not afraid of Chang Zhao's identity, but behind Chang Zhao stands a bachelor.
The sarcasm on Mrs. Dong's face became even more intense. She wanted to cover up the matter in an evasive way, but it also depends on whether she is happy or not.
"My husband-in-law is already weak, and we have been working hard to nurse him back to health with all our efforts. Only then can my husband reluctantly participate in this examination.
Seeing that the test was about to take place, the Chang family gave him a bowl of medicine and hurt him so much that the imperial doctor said he would have to stay in bed for at least three months.
How are you, the Chang family, going to explain it to Duke Chengguo?"
Um?
There is a big melon here!!!
Everyone present pricked up their ears.
Chang Yifei didn't even eat melon seeds anymore, "Isn't it right? That guy named Dong is so useless?"
Qi Baoer looked at her curiously, this guy seemed to know a lot.
Chang Yifei is now happy to share it with a close friend like Qi Bao'er. She doesn't even need to ask Qi Bao'er to ask. She has already nuzzled into Qi Bao'er's side.
"The main target of Chang Zhao's family is Liu Shilang, but if Liu Shilang is invited alone, Liu Shilang may not come, so he borrows Dong Si's connections. Chang Zhao's eldest son knows Dong Si's friend, the fourth son of the Lu family."
Qi Bao'er immediately understood that A was B's friend, B was C's friend, and C was friends with D. A wanted to invite D, whom he didn't know, so he invited BC for some reason, and C invited D to accompany him.
As for this reason, in this critical period, what could be more appropriate than this reason related to the general examination?
They are all a group of people preparing to take the examination.
As for the fact that Liu Yuan could be summoned by calling Dong Si, Qi Baoer also knew the real reason.
The Liu family and the Dong family had a very good relationship in the generation of Da Sima. Later, when all the sons of the Dong family were gone, Da Sima wanted to take care of the widow, but it was inconvenient for him to have a son. No, it was difficult to move between the two houses.
There were frequent fights between Mrs. Sima and Mrs. Dong, and between the brothers Liu Yuan and Dong Si.
Dong Si is now the sole member of the Chengguo Palace, and the Liu brothers put Dong Si's safety first, so if Dong Si travels, there must be one of the Liu brothers by his side.
It is not impossible that Chang Zhao's family wants to plot against Liu Yuan and move the other brothers of the Liu family away so that they have no time.
Chang Yifei: "It's also Chang Yingying who is stupid. First, she doesn't pretend to be a man, and second, she looks wrong when holding the drugged wine. Who is Minister Liu? How can he be the Minister of the Ministry of War?
can not tell?"
That guy Liu Yuan was also a shady guy. If he dared to plot against him, he would plot back and pretend to be drunk.
But then something unexpected happened. For some reason, Dong Si drank the wine that Liu Yuan exchanged for Chang Zhao's eldest son. Yes, Liu Yuan was so evil. He exchanged the spiked wine for Chang Zhao's eldest son.
Liu Yuan didn't notice it at first, but when he realized something was wrong with Dong Si, he quickly sent him back to the Chengguo Palace. Before leaving the Chang Palace, he kicked the ice on the lake to pieces in an 'unintentional' way.
A few people who came to the lake happened to be knocked into the mud.
