Chapter 87: Can't even speak human language



At the court meeting the next day, all the ministers were talking about it, just because General Yu - Yu Ting had returned to the court. He was now a famous figure in the capital!

Su Juan heard their discussion and curiously leaned over to listen.

Someone sighed, "This General Yu is incredible. He is only 29 years old, but he has made great military achievements."

[What, you’re already 29? ]

"......" No matter how good the words are, they no longer mean the same thing when they come out of Yuanwailang's mouth.

A colleague at the side ignored Su Juan and said, "I heard that General Yu has not married yet and only has two concubines. I think he is going to get married when he returns to Beijing this time. I'm afraid the matchmaker in Beijing will trample on the Yu family's doorstep again."

"After all, he is young and promising."

[What? He hasn't even married a wife yet, but he already has two concubines? ]

Colleague: “?”

[Tsk, it's not a good thing. ]

Colleague: “!!!” You, a woman who’s been divorced by her husband, don’t you know shit!

Which man doesn't have three wives and four concubines?!

The Dali Temple Shaoqing at the side said with a smile, "I still have a niece who is not married yet. I will go and ask the Yu family to see if we can become relatives!"

The ministers around smiled and said nothing.

Su Juan took a quick glance and saw that the person who spoke was the Junior Official of the Dali Temple. She sighed and said, "Come on, you've got to stop."

The ministers in the Golden Palace immediately pricked up their ears. Here it comes, they are speaking on behalf of the Yuanwailang!

[It hasn’t even been a year since you arranged a marriage for your son Lian Cheng. General Yu is not in the capital, but he is not a fool. Which good family would dare to accept the marriage you arranged?]

The officials didn't say anything, but they all agreed in their hearts: That's right! Everyone still remembers your Lian family's troubles. You, an old man, have gone through so much trouble just for that son who doesn't like women.

It's only been half a year and no one mentions it. Do you think everyone has forgotten it?

The Shaoqing of Dali Temple had an unpleasant expression on his face. Couldn't they just sew Su Juan's mouth shut? Her words were too harsh.

He laughed dryly and explained to his colleagues, "My niece is in her prime, talented, and she often has something to say to Miss Liu from the Zhongshu Ling family. I think she is a perfect match for the general..."

[Good fellow, how much does your niece want to get married that she even wants to cheat my Miao Qing to gain a good reputation? ]

The Shaoqing of Dali Temple looked even uglier, and he wished he could grab an embroidery needle and sew up Su Juan's mouth.

The other ministers who were watching the show were excited: "!!!" My Miao Qing? !

They didn't want to get excited, but Su Juan was talking about my Miao Qing!

The Minister of the Central Secretariat looked back a few times and always felt that the atmosphere in the court was strange recently. People often mentioned his daughter while talking.

Especially Su Juan. When his daughter was mentioned, all his colleagues became so excited that they started whispering to each other. They didn't look like they were attending court at all.

Besides, it’s not surprising that this girl has better feelings, right?

The Minister of the Central Secretariat had no idea that these colleagues were all there because they had read the storybook that had been widely circulated in the capital recently.

At this moment, the old emperor summoned Yu to the Golden Palace, and everyone's attention shifted from Su Juan to the young man who strode into the Golden Palace.

The man was majestic, with a bronze complexion and muscular body, making him look tall and strong. When he stepped into the Golden Palace, his eyes swept over the officials in the court, as if he was looking for someone.

When he reached the front, he knelt down and saluted, his demeanor calm and proud, his tone sonorous and powerful, "Your Majesty, your humble servant is here to see you!"

The old emperor smiled happily, "Yu Qing, please stand up!"

"Young people are truly fearless. All right, all right, all right!"

The old emperor praised him several times, showing his admiration for this young talent, and he immediately rewarded him and appointed him as the deputy commander of the imperial guards.

The original deputy commander of the Imperial Guards had not yet healed from an old injury and was about to resign, but now Yu Ting, who had just returned to Beijing, was directly appointed to take over, assisting the commander-in-chief Yan, commanding 50,000 Imperial Guards, being in charge of the imperial city guards, and protecting the emperor's safety. He was second only to the commander-in-chief Yan Zheng.

This honor made many military generals in the court envious.

Prince Jing was also very happy. After all, this was his own relative. It was a good thing that he could gain the trust of His Majesty and be promoted, and he didn't have to go back to the bitter and cold place in the south to suffer.

After the court session, everyone surrounded Yu Ting and congratulated him. The most enthusiastic one was the Junior Secretary of the Dali Temple, who even omitted the word "deputy" and said, "General Yu is young and promising!"

Commander Yan is already in his fifties. If anything happens to him, Yu Ting will be the one to take over. This is a bright future.

Yu Ting smiled, "Master Lian praised it."

"I heard that Commander Yu is still unmarried. Does he have a crush on someone?"

"I'm not married yet. This time I came back to Beijing is to settle the marriage." Yu Ting smiled.

The Dali Temple Shaoqing was immediately delighted and immediately introduced his niece, "What a coincidence! I have a niece who is only seventeen years old and still unmarried!"

Seeing that the Shaoqing of Dali Temple was so eager to take action, everyone couldn't even get a word in. It seemed that he was determined to push his niece out.

Yu Ting responded with a few words with a smile, his eyes fell on Su Juan who came out with Duke Ping and others not far away. Although he had never seen Su Juan, she was the only woman among so many people, so he couldn't be wrong.

"I guess this is Lord Su, the Deputy Director of the Ministry of Revenue?"

Su Juan, who didn't expect to be spoken to by Yu Ting, stopped and looked at him, "It's me."

Yu Ting smiled wryly, "I heard my cousin mention it earlier. I wanted to meet you when I return to Beijing this time. I just arrived at Prince Jing's Mansion yesterday. It's a pity that I didn't meet Lord Su. It's a pity."

Many ministers around stopped and looked over here. Everyone in the court knew that Yu Ting was a relative of Princess Jing and the cousin of Prince Jing's son Song Qianfan. Judging from his posture, he came to cause trouble for the Yuanwailang on behalf of his cousin.

Hearing the unkindness in Yu Ting's words, it was obvious that he was looking for trouble. Su Juan smiled and said, "I wonder if Deputy Commander Yu has any advice for me?"

She emphasized the word "deputy" quite a bit. [I never thought that Song Qianfan was not good at other things, but he was first-rate at asking for help when filing a complaint.]

Yu Ting: "I just came to see what a married woman who doesn't stay at home to take care of her husband and children and is out in the public eye looks like. I wanted to see it for myself. After all, I have never seen it before. But after seeing it today, I was a little disappointed. It was really average."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone immediately smelled a strong smell of gunpowder.

Su Juan was surprised. "I heard that Deputy Commander Yu is already 29 and still hasn't married. I thought he was busy with military affairs, but I didn't expect it was just because he had never seen a woman."

[Tsk, looking for trouble, it turns out that the person who got involved with Song Qianfan is not a good person. ]

Yu Ting sneered, "You are quite articulate."

Su Juan blinked, "After all, I can't be like Deputy Commander Yu who can't even speak human language."

[You are already 29 years old and still can't speak human language. No wonder you are only a deputy commander. Commander Yan is in good health and can beat you to death.]

Yu Ting looked angry. This Su Juan was indeed eloquent and difficult to deal with.
