"I knew that if I hadn't learned it from others, I wouldn't have been able to say such nice words."
General Feng's wife snorted coldly and rolled her eyes at Feng Yi, but she didn't see how angry she was.
When she came back from the temple, she heard from the servants in the mansion that Feng Yi went to the military camp every day, and even when he could rest, he went out to look for people who wanted a shop on the Second Street of the capital.
Or go to the Zhongyong General's Mansion, and I don't know what to do.
After all, General Zhongyong received the imperial edict in those days and escorted the Beimang envoy and Beimang Princess outside.
Mrs. Feng was naturally a little dissatisfied that Feng Yi did not avoid suspicion, but she believed that Feng Yi's character would not cause trouble outside.
After all, in his heart, his weapons and the Feng Family Army come first, the food comes second, and she and her family come third.
"How beautiful is the wife of General Zhongyong's family, so she can be so dazzled by an old man like you? Even if General Zhongyong is not in the house, you are still rushing there every day."
What General Feng's wife said was a slap in the face to Feng Yi, who must know how to avoid suspicion.
But after Feng Yi heard this, he immediately began to clarify.
"What are you talking about? I went with the deputy general just to find my younger siblings to take him to see the shops on the Second Street in Beijing. I didn't do anything that I shouldn't have done, so why did I spread the word like this?
It’s so unpleasant to hear, and what you say is confusing.”
Feng Yi was unconvinced. He didn't know the situation outside, so how could he say such nonsense?
He also spread such nonsense to his wife’s ears, and so did his wife. Why didn’t she know how to refute it?
"Madam, you really have wronged General Feng! It was General Zhongyong who asked General Feng to help find a shop on the Second Street of the capital to open a restaurant for his younger siblings. If this shop is rented or bought, the younger siblings will have to give more in the future.
Some free homemade meals delivered to your home.”
"Didn't you complain to the general a few days ago that you never bought the beef sauce from Liuji Snack Shop, which was delicious but you never bought it?"
"The general has always kept this in mind. It just so happened that my brothers and sisters were able to get the beef sauce from Liuji Snack Shop, and they also came up with many novel delicacies and gadgets. Maybe they will become popular in the capital in the future."
"The general wants to take advantage of his younger siblings so that you can hold your head high in the circle of female relatives in the future."
Although Feng Yi is a general, he may be good at literature and martial arts, and he even passed the first prize in the examination.
But Feng Yi married a descendant of a military general. Even though his status is so high now, the fact that his wife cannot read is still criticized to this day.
Prime Minister Jiang's family always laughs at his wife about these things, and naturally his wife is not willing to show weakness.
Whenever many female relatives are invited to come and enjoy the flowers, many literati are reluctant to come because they do not know how to recite poems and compose poems. This also makes female relatives reluctant to come more often.
Outsiders said that among these people, his wife was not as prestigious as Prime Minister Jiang's wife.
Even if we invite the female relatives of several families to come and enjoy the flowers, we can't invite anyone.
Therefore, if you want to attract these female relatives, in addition to reciting poems and painting, you will naturally need many other gadgets.
Song Yutong knew many people and had a wide range of contacts, so he could always get many novel things.
After hearing what the deputy general said, General Feng's wife didn't know whether she believed it or not, but the expression of resistance on her face was no longer so strong.
"You have such a good idea, why don't you tell me? It's like only the deputy general has a mouth. Where is your mouth?"
General Feng's wife picked up the tea cup on the table and poured herself a cup of tea. She was very tired after driving for several days. Now she could drink a cup of hot tea to quench her thirst. She felt much more relaxed.
The deputy general was trying to help with the conversation, but it sounded like he was talking too much, and he touched his nose in embarrassment.
This couple is really difficult to take care of. It doesn't matter if they help or don't help.
"Don't you just like his mouth? As long as you want to know about his baldness, you know it."
The deputy general didn't turn out to be a good guy, and even got a look from General Feng Yi.
"Then this is my younger brother, and he is naturally facing me." General Feng's wife was still a little proud when she said this.
"I'll go back and rest today. If I have time tomorrow, I'll send someone to ask General Zhongyong's wife to come and have a chat with her."
After General Feng's wife arranged everything, she led Feng Yi and the deputy general back to the General Protector's Mansion.
In the early years, General Feng's wife felt sorry for the lonely life of the deputy general, and she recognized him as her younger brother. If he came back from the border once in a while, she would treat him well.
In the palace.
Cheng Hanyan should have gone to the palace first to seek the emperor's return, but he did not witness Wu Jiang and others escorting the Beimang envoy and Princess Nalis to the post house.
He rode his horse to the post house first, and after making arrangements for the Beimang envoys and Princess Nalis, he entered the palace and resumed his duties.
Cheng Hanyan just saw Eunuch An outside the royal study and went up to say hello.
Eunuch An immediately walked over, glanced in the direction of the Jade Study Room, and quietly pulled Cheng Hanyan aside to talk.
"Why did you come just now? Do you have a deputy general named Wu Jiang in your army? He just went in to find the emperor and said he was here to return. He said he was under your orders."
This move is obviously an attempt to steal the credit!
Eunuch An has followed the emperor in the court for so long. Naturally, he has seen many twists and turns like this and is very good at reading people.
This Wujiang doesn't look like an easy one to get along with.
Cheng Hanyan understood what Eunuch An meant, and immediately took out a valuable object from his arms and stuffed it into Eunuch An's hand.
"Thank you, Mr. An, for your pointers. I will definitely pay more attention to them."
Eunuch An looked at the things Cheng Hanyan pushed over and didn't even think about taking them.
He took the initiative to mention Cheng Hanyan because the face and eyes of the person in front of him were very similar to those of Concubine Chun back then.
Although his appearance was different, his similar temperament alone made the emperor prefer him more.
In the future, General Cheng will definitely become a popular figure in front of the emperor.
"This...I am not doing it for this external thing..."
"I understand, this thing is not valuable, I just gave it to Mr. An for fun. Life in this imperial city is not that easy after all. It is better to have something with you than nothing at all."
Cheng Hanyan stuffed the thing into Mr. An's sleeve very forcefully and said in a low voice.
Eunuch An wanted to continue to refuse, but he was not as strong as Cheng Hanyan. He had already stuffed the things into his sleeves, and he couldn't take them out even if he wanted to.
If the noise is loud, it will always attract the attention of others, and it will be even more difficult to talk about it when the time comes.
"Then I would like to thank General Cheng."
"If anything, I should be the one to thank Mr. An."
Although Cheng Hanyan became a general not long ago, he has already had the desire to be a well-rounded and capable person.
"General Cheng, please wait a moment. I will report to the Emperor right away."
