Chapter 15: Retaliation

After staying in the Imperial College for a day, Liu Chengfeng returned to Wen Mansion exhausted. When Wen Chenxi saw him coming back, Wen Chenxi quickly asked Xian'er to bring warm water to wash Liu Chengfeng's face, while asking: "Did you do this well? Is there anyone there?

Are you deliberately trying to embarrass you?"

Liu Chengfeng smiled faintly, washed his face, and became more energetic, saying: "Everyone is doing well. The people in the guardhouse are very kind to others."

When talking about harmony, Liu Chengfeng couldn't help but think of that Qianhu's face, and felt a chill in his heart.

However, Wen Chenxi did not doubt that he was there. She looked happy and said, "That's good. If Chenruo said that a scholar like you would definitely be bullied if he went to the health center."

Liu Chengfeng's eyes widened and he said with a straight face: "Don't listen to that little girl's nonsense. She loves to cause trouble."

Wen Chenxi smiled and said without arguing, "I rested earlier today. I see you are so tired."

After dinner, Liu Chengfeng moved a small chair to the courtyard and drank tea. Wen Chenxi took Xian'er to see the old lady. When he came back, he said to Liu Chengfeng: "Grandma, too."

I asked you if you did your job well, but Chenruo said that you were assigned to the Imperial Academy, and also said that you offended some minister, right?"

Liu Chengfeng was slightly startled, and couldn't help but wonder, how could Xiao Nizi be so well-informed? But he said with a smile: "I can't say that I offend you, it's just a matter of learning from each other."

But Wen Chenxi frowned and said: "It's hard to say. I heard from Wen Chenruo that the Jin Yiwei is no longer the Jin Yiwei in the early years. Today, the emperor relies heavily on the cabinet and various ministries. Even the commanders have to accompany the cabinet elders when they meet.

Laughter and respect, although the minister is not as senior as the cabinet, even my father would not dare to be presumptuous when he saw them. What's more, the minister is still the prince's lecturer and will join the cabinet sooner or later. If he is smaller-minded, wouldn't he be ruined?

What is your husband’s future?”

Liu Chengfeng didn't take it seriously and comforted Wen Chenxi for a while before Wen Chenxi calmly said: "Yes, yes, what you say always makes sense."

Liu Chengfeng chuckled and said: "It's not what I said makes sense, it's Chen Ruo who always sows dissension. Don't believe her words in the future. In fact, going to the Imperial Academy to sit in the hall is exactly what I want. I sit there and listen every day."

What's wrong with doctors talking about knowledge? Let's not talk about this anymore, let's go to bed early."

"Hmm..." Wen Chenxi responded inaudibly, with a blush on his face. He always felt that Liu Chengfeng's tone when he talked about sleeping was a bit metaphorical.

The next day Liu Chengfeng got up and went to the Imperial Academy to sit in court. Today he brought his money bag and treated Old Huo to a delicious meal at noon. Old Huo smiled brightly and lowered his voice and said to Liu Chengfeng: "Brother Liu,

I'm afraid you'll be in trouble now."

Liu Chengfeng asked: "What's wrong?"

Old Huo said seriously: "I heard from the brothers in the guardhouse that someone is asking for news about you in the North and South Town Office and the Economic Affairs Department."

Liu Chengfeng thought of the minister he offended yesterday and couldn't help but curse in his heart: "Could it be that the minister was asking about him? That old guy is so petty?"

Lao Huo breathed a sigh of relief and continued: "Anyway, you should be more careful. There are many adults in the capital. If you offend some gods if you are not careful, we will be in trouble as long as they pinch you."

There was a strong sense of sophistication in Lao Huo's aphorisms. He had been a servant for decades and was quite well-informed in the capital. He had seen many cases of wealthy families squeezing out little people. At this time, he couldn't help but worry about Liu Chengfeng.

Liu Chengfeng was thinking in his heart, what about the assistant minister? If he really caused a stumbling block for him, at worst, the Jin Yiwei would not do it anymore and would rather go back to setting up the stall. However, thinking about his wife's expectations of him, he felt very uncomfortable.

If this Jin Yiwei was removed from the job after only two days of service, it would be really difficult for Chen Xi to face him.

Lao Huo's words made Liu Chengfeng feel gloomy all day long. When he returned home, a steward stopped him with a smile and said to him: "I want to see my uncle in the study."

Liu Chengfeng had no choice but to go to the study again. Wen Zheng had just returned from the hall. He was wearing brocade clothes and purple robes. He looked at Liu Chengfeng with a tired look and asked in a bad tone: "What's going on, Mr. Wang? When did you

Did you offend him? Do you know that this Wang Shilang is a popular person in front of the Holy Emperor today, and is also the leader of Qingliu? It would be great now, you only entered the guardhouse for a day or two, and you offended him?"

Wen Zheng was in a bad mood, and his face was clouded. His cheap father-in-law was really afraid of what would happen. He had thought that such a nerd would cause trouble sooner or later if he entered the guardhouse. As a result, early this morning, the Wang family sent someone

After asking around about Liu Chengfeng's background, Wen Zheng was shocked at the time, so he called the family to ask, only to find out that Liu Chengfeng had an argument with Wang Ao outside the Yimen of the Imperial College. Wen Zheng was really shocked and speechless at that time.

Yes, I was in a daze the whole day.

Just as Liu Chengfeng was about to explain, Wen Zheng's expression turned even worse and he said angrily: "Do you know who Wang Ao is? Not to mention it's me, even the commander has to scream obediently when he sees him.

Sir, if he wants to deal with you, he only needs to send a domestic slave to say hello to the commander, and then you can disappear in this capital. Humph, you don’t have to explain. I won’t listen to you if you explain. Starting tomorrow, you don’t have to

Go to the guardhouse, I will ask someone to give you a leave of absence, and you can reflect on it at home. As for other things, it depends on whether Mr. Wang is willing to show his favor."

Just as she was talking, Wen Chenxi pushed the door open and came in. There were beads of sweat on her forehead. Perhaps because she ran too fast, her cheeks were flushed. She gasped and said, "Dad...what's wrong?"

Wen Chenxi had also just heard from Xian'er that the master had called his uncle to the study, with a scowl on his face. Wen Chenxi was careful and worried that her father would have a conflict with her husband, so she came over to listen. As soon as she arrived outside the study, she heard

Dad roared in the study, and his face turned pale with fright. He ignored the rules again and pushed the door open.

Wen Zheng saw Wen Chenxi, looked at Liu Chengfeng, snorted coldly, and said: "Humph, you did a good job." However, he seemed to be caring about Wen Chenxi's health, so he didn't say any unpleasant words, and just shook his head.

Sleeve away.

Wen Chenxi and Liu Chengfeng were the only ones left in the study. Liu Chengfeng's mood became uncomfortable at this time. He couldn't blame Wen Zheng. Although Wen Zheng had a prejudice against him, the Minister Wang was, after all,

He had caused it, and now the Minister Wang refused to rest, so it was understandable that Wen Zheng would be furious.

Seeing that Liu Chengfeng's face was not good-looking, Wen Chenxi silently took out his sweat towel and wiped Liu Chengfeng's sweat, smoothed his clothes, and went back to his room with Liu Chengfeng, and asked Xian'er to soak it up.

A pot of hot tea was put into Liu Chengfeng's hand, and he whispered: "Husband, many things in this world cannot be explained clearly. My father's anger at you is probably for our own good. I know you feel uncomfortable.

But don’t be angry, okay?”

Liu Chengfeng raised his eyes and saw Wen Chenxi's gentle eyes looking at him. All the gloom in his stomach was swept away in an instant. He thought to himself: Your sister, Liu Chengfeng, Liu Chengfeng, you are a dignified man, why?

Do you still want your wife to comfort you? You are full of knowledge and have good medical skills. Even if you don't depend on others, do you really think you can't survive in this world?

Liu Chengfeng couldn't help laughing and said, "Why am I angry? Don't think too much, I'm just thinking..."

"Thinking?" Wen Chenxi saw a smile on Liu Chengfeng's face, and a smile appeared on his pretty face.

Liu Chengfeng said sternly: "I'm thinking if I am dismissed from the guards, I should set up a calligraphy stall and start a small business."

Wen Chenxi couldn't help but smile and said: "If your husband goes to do business, I will also go to help him."

Liu Chengfeng smiled and said: "When the time comes, we will have ten or eight children and form a family business. We will monopolize the stalls on the entire street. If any shameless guy dares to steal the business, Chen Xi will be the boss. With one order,

Let that girl Chen Ruo take the lead, and then we can rush over and knock her out together."

Wen Chenxi couldn't help but giggle and said, "It sounds like a robber."

Liu Chengfeng couldn't help but grabbed Wen Chenxi's hand and said seriously: "You are such a good-for-nothing husband. You were deprived of your academic honors. Now you may not even be able to keep your job as a Jinyiwei..."

Wen Chenxi covered his lips, looked at Liu Chengfeng with a pair of beautiful eyes, stared at it for a moment and then whispered: "Not to mention marrying a chicken and following a chicken, in Chenxi's heart, even if the husband has been dismissed, the knowledge in his belly is

No one can get rid of him. Even if he can't serve as a servant in Jinyiwei, his character is ten times and a hundred times better than those who work as servants."

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

"Sir, we have found out about the captain named Liu. This man was originally a scholar who had been demoted. After that, he set up a calligraphy stall at the street. But for some unknown reason, he suddenly became the son-in-law of Wen Zheng, the commander of the Jin Yiwei. Since then,

Then he entered the guardhouse and was in the hall of the Imperial College."

The sky was dark, and outside the east wing of the palace's back house, a man who looked like a steward held the door open and whispered to the people inside.

The lights in the wing were slowly turning, and Wang Ao let Mrs. Wang take off her clothes. After listening to the steward's words, he said calmly: "I understand."

Wang Ao was sitting on the couch, and Mrs. Wang lowered her waist to remove his boots. She couldn't help but smile and said, "You're a military captain in royal robes. Why are you going to inquire in such a big way?"

Wang Ao sat on the couch and touched the sarcoma on the tip of his nose, and said: "I just think this person is a bit weird. A captain in Jinyi is actually quite knowledgeable. Now I know he is also a man of merit."

Mrs. Wang laughed and said: "Does it bother you whether you have fame or not? You really do."

Wang Ao breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Didn't I just ask you to prepare the queen honey and bitter melon juice? Bring it to me quickly."

Mrs. Wang went to the counter and brought a plate of viscous juice that had been pounded into a paste and asked, "What do you want this for?"

Wang Ao carefully dipped his fingers in honey and bitter melon juice and applied it on the sarcoma on the tip of his nose, and said: "I am urgently ill and seek medical treatment. It doesn't matter what folk remedies he has, as long as it can eliminate this sarcoma, I will give it a try."
