After a cup of tea, An Miaoyi said goodbye to Bai Yuanyuan with a smile, then looked at the small garden on the east side and lightly ordered to the maid beside her:
"Go and call me the Su sisters over there..."
"yes!"
Because she is three years older than Ye Mingsheng, Bai Yuanyuan has always been very sensitive to age issues. In addition, it is also because of her age that she particularly wants a child. This is also the underlying reason why she wants to make new clothes to attract Ye Mingsheng. .
It is precisely because of this kind of age anxiety that Bai Yuanyuan was very envious and jealous when she saw the Su sisters who were very favored when they just entered the house. In addition, the Su sisters’ natal families were not tough, so Bai Yuanyuan had no scruples and made many sarcastic remarks. The Su sisters said some very acidic words.
If you talk too much, it will naturally reach the ears of the Su sisters. Compared with Su Ruyan, who is like a little white sheep, Su Rumeng, the younger sister, is more arrogant. With Ye Mingsheng's favor, she has no Bai Yuanyuan also deliberately said some things to ridicule the old woman Bai Yuanyuan, and also reported to Ye Mingsheng.
Ye Mingsheng, who was burdened with government affairs, had no intention of taking care of these matters and left them to An Miaoyi to manage. And because Bai Yuanyuan was from An Miaoyi's faction, the matter of snitching on this matter was dropped.
And Bai Yuanyuan was not a good person. Seeing that Su Rumeng not only rubbed salt into her wounds, but also dared to report to Ye Mingsheng, she also made some small moves to make the Su sisters suffer a few losses.
However, under An Miaoyi's warning, she did not dare to go too far. So far, the hatred between Bai Yuanyuan and the Su sisters was completely settled. Su Ruyan was better off, but every time Su Rumeng and Bai Yuanyuan met, Both of them have to say a few words of yin and yang...
Upon hearing An Miaoyi's summons, the Su sisters quickly came to An Miaoyi and greeted her respectfully. An Miaoyi nodded slightly and asked with a smile:
"How was your time in the mansion?"
"Thank you, Madam, for taking care of us. The two of us sisters are living well in the mansion!" Su Ruyan said softly:
Listening to Su Ruyan's soft words, the smile on An Miaoyi's face became softer. She didn't know why she liked Su Ruyan's quiet and well-behaved look.
Turning her gaze to Su Rumeng, An Miaoyi asked again:
"And you?"
Facing An Miaoyi's inquiry, the arrogant Su Rumeng subconsciously wanted to say something, but before she could speak, Su Ruyan gave her a covert look. Seeing this, Su Ruyan Rumeng hesitated for a moment, but finally gave up her idea and said like her sister:
"Reporting to Madam, Rumeng is doing well in the house!"
Although Su Ruyan's little moves were hidden, they were all seen by An Miaoyi. Although Su Rumeng didn't speak, An Miaoyi also knew what this shrewd little girl wanted to say. She was just attacking Bai Yuanyuan. From the side Complain about why you helped Bai Yuanyuan.
Although she understood what Su Rumeng was dreaming about, she didn't say it after all. This saved An Miaoyi some effort. Otherwise, if Su Rumeng said these words, she would have to punish the little girl and let her Understand what the rules are...
After asking Su Rumeng casually, An Miaoyi turned her gaze back to Su Ruyan, whom she liked more, and said with a smile:
"The weather is getting colder now. You should keep warm in the morning and evening. Remember to get more coal from the housekeeper!"
Hearing what An Miaoyi said, Su Rumeng's eyes flashed with an undetectable color. A few days ago, Bai Yuanyuan secretly instructed her subordinates to do some small tricks on the coal allocated to their sisters' courtyard, causing the coal to The furnace burned incompletely, freezing the sisters for several nights.
Now that An Miaoyi mentioned this matter, she seemed to be trying to comfort herself. I believe that with An Miaoyi's words, the housekeeper would not dare to do anything. Thinking of this, Su Ruyan asked An Miaoyi again. Yi bowed and said:
"Thank you Madam for your love and care!"
Seeing that Su Ruyan understood what she said, An Miaoyi nodded secretly in her heart. Su Ruyan seemed a little timid, not as arrogant as her sister, but she was also a smart child. Seeing this, An Miaoyi Asked again:
"Have you read any books at home?"
Although she didn't know why An Miaoyi asked this question, Su Ruyan still answered clearly:
"Reporting to Madam, I read some with my husband when I was at home, so I know some words!"
Listening to Su Ruyan's answer, An Miaoyi said with a smile:
"The old lady's belief in Buddhism requires someone to hand-copy some Buddhist scriptures. Since you can read, I will leave this matter to you. In normal times, you can also go to the old lady's courtyard to accompany the old lady to chant sutras and chant Buddha... ··········”
As soon as these words came out, a look of surprise suddenly appeared in Su Ruyan's beautiful eyes like water, but it was replaced by a look of joy and she said very seriously:
"I will definitely remember the kindness of the eldest lady in my heart! I will definitely work hard to do this well and satisfy the old lady!"
Listening to Su Ruyan's answer, An Miaoyi nodded with satisfaction and said:
"That's good!"
After another few words of encouragement to Su Ruyan, An Miaoyi took the maid and left with the maid under the watch of the Su sisters. When she was far away, Su Rumeng came to her sister and said angrily:
"Sister, why don't you let me tell you? That old woman Bai Yuanyuan is really insidious. An Miaoyi is really on the same side as her. I heard that the Buddhist scriptures used for the old lady are long and complicated. Pei Zhixiu, Bai Yuanyuan and the others No one wants to do it..."
Su Rumeng still wanted to complain, but Su Ruyan covered her sister's mouth with her little hand and whispered:
"Be careful, the walls have ears. Let's talk about it when we get back!"
After a cup of tea, the Su sisters returned to their house. After carefully closing the door, Su Ruyan felt relieved and said to her sister:
"An Miaoyi asked me to copy Buddhist scriptures for the sake of our sisters!"
Hearing what her sister said, Su Rumeng said in confusion:
"An Miaoyi and Bai Yuanyuan are so close. That old woman Bai Yuanyuan dared to bully our sisters because of An Miaoyi's protection. If copying Buddhist scriptures is such a good thing, why doesn't she leave it to Bai Yuanyuan? ?”
Su Ruyan shook her head and explained:
"Rumeng has a backer among many people in the Governor's Mansion. Pei Zhixiu's backer is the Marshal himself. Otherwise, how could she have such a transcendent status in the Governor's Mansion? An Miaoyi does not dare to care too much about her, and Bai Yuanyuan's Her backers are her two brothers who are high-ranking officials in the Fengwu Army!"
"If you want to be favored in this Governor's Mansion and not bullied by others, it's important to work hard for favor yourself, but it's also important to have a backer behind you!"
"And you know that my family, Ru Meng, won't give us much help..."
Speaking of their original families, the expressions of Ruyan Rumeng's sisters were much gloomier. Although the two of them came from official families, because they were concubines and their mother was redeemed from the land of fireworks, the two sisters grew up After suffering a lot, he was given to Ye Mingsheng as a gift just after he reached the age of marriage.
After calming down her emotions, Su Ruyan continued:
"An Miaoyi asked me to copy Buddhist scriptures and accompany the old lady. This is to give us sisters the opportunity to get close to the old lady. As long as we seize the opportunity to serve the old lady well and make the old lady happy, we will be considered worthy in this Governor's Mansion. Now that she has a backer and is no longer a rootless duckweed, she, Bai Yuanyuan, will no longer dare to bully us at will!"
After hearing what her sister said, Su Rumeng suddenly realized, but she still said with some concerns:
"Sister, I still don't believe how An Miaoyi could be so kind and leave such a good thing to us. Could she have any dirty tricks waiting for us?"
Su Ruyan thought about her sister's concerns and said:
"I've thought about this too, but An Miaoyi is the eldest lady, and the commander-in-chief has left all the affairs of the Governor's Mansion to her. If she wants to harm our sisters, there is no need to go to such trouble. She can just let her do whatever she wants. We two sisters are desperate for life and death, so I think she really wants to give us sisters a chance!"
"No matter what, this is an opportunity to get close to the old lady. I will definitely seize it! I will never let others bully our sisters again!"
What Su Ruyan said was categorical, and at the end of the sentence, a look of determination appeared in her gentle and watery eyes!

Yi Jing, Guo Mansion.
A young man with a slender figure and a very tough and handsome appearance came to Guo Zhiping and bowed and asked
"General, why are you so anxious to find me?"
Guo Zhiping, who looked serious, took a deep look at the man in front of him, and then asked sharply:
"Cheng Ran! Tell me honestly what you have been doing recently?"
Feeling Guo Zhiping's cold tone, Cheng Ran felt a little guilty, but he still managed to say:
"General, as you know, I have been busy with my marriage to Qinglian recently. I haven't done anything else!"
Hearing that Cheng Ran was still arrogant, Guo Zhiping picked up the teacup on the table without any nonsense, threw it towards Cheng Ran and said:
"How dare you lie?"
"The commander-in-chief directly ordered that your name be checked off the list of meritorious soldiers. What else do you want to do?"
As soon as these words came out, Cheng Ran was stunned on the spot, with unspeakable bitterness in his heart. Knowing that paper could not contain the fire, he did not hide it, and told Guo Zhiping that he and Zhao Sheng were planning to plot Chen Ji Teahouse. The explanation from 510 is clear!
After hearing Cheng Ran's explanation, Guo Zhiping said sadly:
"Cheng Ran, you are confused! You are now the commander of the Fengwu Army, and you are about to marry a girl from the Ye family with a bright future. Why are you still associated with those gangsters? A gentleman loves money in a proper way. As a Fengwu If the officers and men of the army want wealth, they should fight on the battlefield and earn it from military merit. The rewards from our military army are very generous throughout the Great Zhou Dynasty!"
"If you don't take the bright road, you have to go the wrong way. You are destroying your future..."
As the general of the Third Division, Guo Zhiping has always had a reputation in the army as loving his soldiers like his own son. This time, in order to implement the rewards for the officers and soldiers of the Third Division as soon as possible and let the officers and soldiers get benefits, he has been paying attention to the list of meritorious soldiers. After learning about the review situation, Ye Mingsheng learned that Ye Mingsheng had passed the review and the procedure had gone to the staff department. He also tried his best to urge the staff department to handle this matter.
However, what he didn't expect was that just one day after the list had been approved by Ye Mingsheng, Cheng Ran's name was checked off the next day. Although Cheng Ran was not the one who followed him in the first place, but later joined.
But because Cheng Ran is smart, reliable, courageous and resourceful, Guo Zhiping also appreciates him very much and even regards him as his own brother. Otherwise, he would not lose face and help him propose marriage to the fifth uncle of the Ye family, so he deserves it. After learning that Cheng Ran's name was checked off the list, he immediately found his friend Zhao Han, deputy chief of staff, to inquire about the situation.
Facing Guo Zhiping's inquiry, Zhao Han said nothing, but even if Zhao Han didn't say anything, Guo Zhiping understood the seriousness of the matter.
You must know that the list he submitted has been reviewed and approved by Ye Mingsheng. Under normal circumstances, this list will be implemented by the staff department. Even if He Jingyun, the chief of general staff, wants to modify it again, It is very difficult and even requires reporting to Ye Mingsheng...
Combined with the fact that Zhao Han was so secretive, even if he didn't say anything, Guo Zhiping understood the answer to the matter, so he immediately called Cheng Ran over to ask what happened!
Listening to Guo Zhiping's scolding, Cheng Ran gave a bitter smile and then knelt down to Guo Zhiping with a bang. He kowtowed three times and said regretfully:
"General, you are right! I, Cheng Ran, was so obsessed with lard that I failed to live up to your appreciation and cultivation!"
"Now that things have happened, I have brought it upon myself and there is nothing more to say! Whether it is beheading or beheading, I accept it."
"But the only thing I hope is that, General, for the sake of me following you in the battle, you can take care of my family in Yuyang in the future so that they don't have to suffer anything. Cheng Ran is grateful to General for your great kindness. Great Virtue!"
Feeling the sincerity in Cheng Ran's words, Guo Zhiping also felt compassion. If Cheng Ran was kneeling on the ground now, begging him to keep him alive so that he could survive, Guo Zhiping would definitely be cruel and give up on him completely, but Now Cheng Ran's attitude of doing things alone and taking responsibility for others made Guo Zhiping hesitate...
