Chapter 208 I can't see why someone in my old Cheng family has been promoted
Chapter 208: Can’t you see someone in my old Cheng family being promoted to a higher position or something? (Please give me monthly votes for recommendation)
Cheng Yaojin took a sip of his wine happily. "Tell me, tell me, just let these two brothers satisfy their curiosity."
The shrewd father gave such orders, what could the honest son Cheng Chubi say?
Cheng Ping replied honestly, "I followed your instructions, young master, and threw Wu Youzhong, the steward of Duke Ying's mansion, at the gate of Duke Ying's mansion."
"I also told the people in Duke Ying's mansion that the third young master in my family who hates evil has already known the reason and asked them to be smart.
If the crime comes under your nose again, be careful that the Third Young Master will just lift the lid so that they won’t even be able to live in the Duke Ying’s Mansion in Chang’an.”
"Who is Duke Ying?" Cheng Chumo stretched his neck and swallowed a large piece of meat, his face full of confusion.
Cheng Yaojin wiped his mouth and patiently conducted popular science for his sons.
"That was an old minister from Taiyuan Yuanmou, who followed the same path as the Supreme Emperor. It is said that he passed away not long ago..."
The eldest brother wiped his mouth and said curiously, "Third brother, why did that kid offend you?"
The second brother couldn't wait to ask more questions. "Yes, tell me quickly, brothers can't let you be bullied."
Seeing the eldest and second brothers gearing up and eager to try, Cheng Chubi felt a warm current in his heart.
"Thank you, brothers. Actually, it's not a big deal. In the alley east of our house, the stepmother of Duke Ying lives..."
Cheng Chubi took advantage of the situation and told him what he knew.
Cheng Chumo immediately got angry and slapped the table several times. "Well done to someone who is so unworthy of a man."
"That's right, Third Brother, you did the right thing, and that guy Zhang Yi from the Duke of Xun Guo's family is not a good guy either, so you did the right thing."
"Next time we have a chance, let's... Hey, Dad, let's drink and drink. I'll give you a toast, kid."
Cheng Yaojin was too lazy to flirt with these two meddlesome bastards, but he looked at Cheng Chubi carefully with great interest and said with a smile.
"Third son, isn't the second lady of the Wu family pretty?"
"???" Cheng Chubi was a little confused. "That girl, I guess, is pretty cool, right?"
On the other hand, the steward Cheng Fu who was standing aside had been with the master for a long time in many wars. When he heard these words, he immediately understood what the master wanted to ask.
"Sir, Mrs. Wu is not only beautiful, but also quite intelligent. It's a pity that she has entered the palace now."
Cheng Yaojin glared at Cheng Fu unhappily. "What if the woman our old Cheng family likes enters the palace?"
"What a big deal it would be for me to sacrifice my old face to beg Your Majesty."
Cheng Chubi really didn't expect that his father would be so open-minded, but the problem was that he and that woman in history who had the world in mind were absolutely pure.
Come on, that little girl is twelve years old at most, and she's still in the early stages of puberty.
"Dad, please don't act recklessly. My son and that girl really have nothing to do with each other. I just think that the girl is quite capable, and she has Daozhang Sun's instructions..."
Upon hearing this, Cheng Yaojin instantly lost interest.
"Then just go ahead and do your own thing. Wait until your boy finds a girl he likes that day and wants to marry her."
After taking a sip of wine, Cheng Yaojin turned to look at the boss. "Boss, how are you and that girl from the Mo Ci family?"
"Dad, why don't you talk about the third child again, why are you talking about me?" Cheng Chumo, whose mouth was full of oil after eating, was a little confused.
Cheng Yaojin stared, slapped the table and shouted unhappily.
"Nonsense, I am your father and you are their eldest brother. If you don't want to marry a wife, will they be embarrassed to marry you?"
"Hurry up, hurry up. If you don't find her yourself, dad will propose a wife for you one day. Don't blame dad for being overbearing and inconsiderate."
Cheng Chubi wiped the cold sweat from his head. Well, it seems that the old Cheng family still has a chance to have free love.
I couldn't help but secretly rejoice, fortunately I am the third child and not the eldest brother. One of the two brothers above has not even found a wife yet, and the other is just engaged.
But then, Cheng Chubi was full of resentment again. It was not a short time since he came to the Tang Dynasty.
But the girls around me... Hey, it seems that they are either mothers, or they are so young that they have not even passed childhood.
The only one who is close to the legal age for marriage in this era seems to be Wu Mei, the second wife of Wu.
Forget it, I can't even do right A, so what's the point of coming here? Don't be in a hurry to find a wife, we'll talk about it later.
But thinking of Wu Mei, Cheng Chubi thought of business, since His Highness the Crown Prince was not here.
I don't need to go to the East Palace to perform my duties for the time being, but I can go to the Imperial Medical Office of Taidang Temple for a walk first.
Meet the Second Lady Wu who escaped into the palace in order to escape from her marriage.

"Today, I have something to discuss with you. At the beginning of June, the queen suddenly contracted a serious illness in Jiucheng Palace, and medicine and stone failed.
Zuo Nei of the East Palace led his deputy Cheng Chubi, who was ordered to travel four hundred miles day and night to Jiucheng Palace, so that the queen could recover..."
Many people in the civil and military circles of the Manchu Dynasty had known about this matter for a long time, but they didn't know much about the inside story.
However, after the emperor spoke to the court, he couldn't help but look shocked and secretly smacked his tongue. Cheng Chubi had just saved the life of the Supreme Emperor.
Only a few months later, he took action to save the Queen's life. According to His Majesty's wishes, even the accompanying imperial doctor was unable to do anything about the Queen's illness.
And after this kid took action, the queen has been cured, which is definitely another great achievement.
Changsun Wuji stroked his long beard and remained silent. As the uncle of the state, he certainly knew more inside information than others.
He had already known that his sister was in a life-and-death situation at that time. Unexpectedly, this boy who made him dislike him actually saved his sister's life.
When Zhang Liang, the Duke of Xun who was on duty, heard this, his mouth twitched slightly and he couldn't help but glance at Cheng Yaojin, who was grinning and stroking his beard.
"...Therefore, I would like to reward him generously..."
"Your Majesty, I am impeaching the East Palace Zuo Nei, the deputy leader Cheng Chubi, and the Crown Prince Zhang Yi for gathering a crowd to fight in the market yesterday..."
A censor stood up, saluted Li Shimin, and spoke loudly.
The Emperor Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty, whose face was darkening as he was chatting, raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows.
"Wait a minute, you said Cheng Sanlang got into a fight with others in the market yesterday?"
This kid just returned to Chang'an with the large army yesterday, and he gathered a crowd to fight on the same day? He is very energetic, this bastard kid.
"Exactly, as an official of the East Palace, Cheng Chubi did not care about the face of the court, and was with others in the market, in broad daylight..."
"What a big deal, you censors are really free." A rough voice suddenly said this.
"???" The censor, who was full of passion and talking freely, immediately lost his temper.
The prisoner with a face as dark as a pot turned his head and saw Lu Guogong. Cheng Mou, the general of the left army, looked at him unhappily.
"General Cheng, as a supervisory censor, I have the responsibility to report the news. Cheng Chubi is the son of the general..."
Cheng Yaojin stood up and pointed the Wat Ban (also known as the Chao Ban) in his hand towards the censor.
"His Majesty is talking about big things, what do you mean by popping up? I don't think someone in my old Cheng family has been promoted to a higher rank or something?"
