Act like a spoiled child

Bu Yu approved Mingshen's application for a half-day holiday, that is, going to the palace for lunch. Thinking that the day after tomorrow would be Huo Bing's birthday, Bu Yu even gave Mingshen the approval for the next two days of vacation.

After Mingshen repeatedly assured that he would finish his work seriously at home, Bu Yu laughed: "My lord, you don't need to be like this. Although you have only been on the job for less than a month, you come the earliest and leave the latest every day. It's also worth working overtime at night, everyone can see it. It's good to do things for His Majesty, but you should also take care of your body."

Mingshen was a little embarrassed by his praise: "Then I'm leaving, Mr. Bu."

Bu Yu said: "The food box, bowls and chopsticks, I'll wash them and bring them to the house, is that okay?"

Mingshen took a look: "It's ok, you don't have to wash it, just put it in front of my house, I will take it back to wash, don't be polite to me... Do you know where my house is? It's on the corner of Chang'an Street, alley away It’s the one in the innermost one, there should be an advertisement posted at the door, you’ll know it when you look at it.”

Bu Yu smiled: "I know, you can go to the palace as soon as possible."

Mingshen entered the palace while groping his stomach that was flattened by hunger.

As soon as he arrived outside Changning Hall, he saw the previous general retreating from inside. When the two met each other, Ming Shen slightly nodded his head as a greeting, but the general stopped and asked in a low voice: "Who are you?" The Huo family?"

Mingshen thought for a while, and didn't know how to describe the relationship between his family and the Huo family, so he just said: "My grandfather is from the Huo family, my mother and elder brother's surname is Huo, and I inherited the Ming family's surname."

"I see. No wonder His Majesty loves you." The general said.

Ming Shen looked at him, remembering the way this man looked at him that day before he entered the basement, he probably regarded him as some kind of pet, so he looked very contemptuous, now that he said this, he was not sure what the other party was What does it mean.This general seemed to have experienced a lot of ups and downs. He was in his early thirties, more than a round older than him.

Seeing his doubts, the general added: "I admire your mother very much. None of the Huo family knows how to fight. Even if she is a daughter, her courage and strategy are not inferior to anyone. You are her son, I believe you Nor are they mediocre."

Ming Shen was even more confused: "My mother?"

"Yes." The general was still... a little shy when he mentioned this, and he whispered, "My surname is Yun, and my name is Yunyou. Before Miss Huo Ruzhuo became Mrs. Ming... Old General Huo once deliberately Let the Yunhuo family marry Qin Jin, but at that time, your mother thought I was too young, so she refused this marriage."

"Oh..." Mingshen suddenly heard the little gossip from his parents, and didn't know how to respond for a while, so he scratched his head and said, "Hello, General Yun."

"The young man has a bright future, work hard." Yun You reached out and patted him on the shoulder, and then left with a serious face.

Ming Shen stood there and looked at him, then entered the door in a daze.

Yumin saw him coming a long time ago, and stood in front of the door waiting for him, as soon as he stepped through the door, he held his hand, sat down with him, and then asked the palace servant to pass the dishes: "Have you seen Yunyou? "

Ming Shen nodded, and said: "He said he knew my mother, and praised me a few words, saying that the Huo family can fight, but I didn't tell him that I was in poor health and still a civil servant."

The word "yunyou" is something that has been kept under wraps in the DPRK and China recently.Ordinary people would not dare to mention it in front of Yumin, but Yumin seemed very relaxed when facing Mingshen.

Although the Yun family is not as prominent as the Huo family in the past, it wins in a steady and steady manner, and there is a unique reason that no one can move - the Yun family is a border town, and it has replaced the emperor for generations to guard the most complex and most turbulent land. The frontier of Yunlong.The role of the Yun family on this place is irreplaceable. From the method of using troops to the way the Yun family army raises troops according to local conditions, they all come from the experience of this family that has stepped on this land for hundreds of years.

When they fall, no one can pick them up.

And there is only one reason why Yunyou has become a popular person around the emperor now: the gossip has recently spread in the court, saying that Yumin restored the royal dead, Yunyou recommended himself, proposed and led all this, and escorted him, the Yun family kept a low profile After many years of silence, success or failure depends on one stroke, he took a slanted sword, and actually got Yumin's support.

Yunyou came here today because he was ordered by Yumin again, because Zhang Nianjing lost his composure in court a few days ago, intending to accuse the Imperial Army of ineffectively patrolling the city, and after attempting to replace Yumin's guards, Yumin said: "That's true, Mr. Zhang As an official appointed by the imperial court, safety must be guaranteed, so I asked General Yun to send people to guard Mr. Zhang's mansion to ensure Mr. Zhang's safety."

Zhang Nianjing made a wrong step and jumped into the fire pit. From then on, he could only live under surveillance and house arrest.And this is also the first time that the dead soldiers around Yumin appear in front of everyone. The unabashed flying fish suit and embroidered spring knife show that this is indeed the way of Jinyiwei in history.

And this also means that from now on, Yumin will have the absolute right to speak.Although the officials have been enthusiastic recently, no one dared to mention this matter.At that time, if it develops into a domineering party, it is unknown how it will end.

This is indeed a topic that should not be brought up, just like when the old emperor was in power, no one dared to mention that there was actually a royal blood relative in the cold palace.

Ming Shen didn't expect to come here, he thought he just met a confidant Yu Min loves, and said a few words to him casually.He also thought about what Yunyou said, "Everyone in the Huo family knows how to fight", and then thought of Huo Bing.

Huo Bing seems to be the opposite of him. Although he is not in good health, he is not bad in everything. If he didn't have a leg problem, he might be a qualified "son of Huo Ruzhuo" in the eyes of others.

He said: "Actually, I think my brother might be very good at fighting, Brother Min. He often reads military books and other things at home, and he is very good at everything. How does His Majesty plan to arrange it then? Well, I don't mean to ask Brother Min to release water for him, I'm just curious. After all, I'm just a small talker..."

Yu Min smiled: "Civil officials are better than civil servants, and they each perform their own duties. Are you hungry?" He picked up a few chopsticks for Ming Shen, and then said: "Huo Bing...it depends on what he wants."

Mingshen hurriedly fought for his brother: "My brother is very good, smart and studious, he must be able to help Brother Min more than me."

Yumin reached out and rubbed his head: "I know."

Mingshen wanted to say something else, but Yumin interrupted him, and said in a low voice: "Eat quickly, you have been hungry for so long, so much food can't stop you, empress?"

Mingshen didn't say anything more, and started to eat happily.After eating, as if he remembered something, he invited Yumin to his house for dinner the day after tomorrow.

He has always been a person who is not very particular, and it happened to be three days away from Huo Bing's birthday, so he simply spent the past two years together.

But Yumin got angry with him: "You answered me and said that you spent your birthday with me on your birthday."

Mingshen hurriedly coaxed: "Don't delay, brother Min and I will have dinner at home."

"How can it be the same? You... you," Yu Min pinched his face as if he hated iron and steel, "little fool."

Mingshen was a little guilty, looked at Yumin's face, and then softened his voice to coax: "Then I'll spend it with my brother once, and then I'll spend it with you alone in three days, okay? I want you to come to my house and have a look. You left in a hurry last time. I have learned to cook a lot of food now, and Brother Min has never tasted it, so I want you to try it."

This is true, Mingshen used to be the youngest, and was also considered the most delicate by Yumin, so he often didn't need to do many things.Although a gentleman stays away from the kitchen, this rule does not apply to Yumin and Mingshen.As for Huo Bing and Bu Yu, both of them are poor and often cook for themselves, so these four big men don't feel anything wrong at all.

It is true that Yumin has never eaten a meal cooked by Mingshen himself.

Because of this, he reluctantly agreed: "Okay. Then what do you know how to do, I want to taste it all."

Mingshen pursed his lips and muttered softly: "It's my birthday, but I'm here to take care of you. I don't see you giving me a gift or something."

Yumin looked at him: "Huh?"

Mingshen hurriedly said: "However, no matter what time I coax you to be happy, I will be happy too."

Yumin said: "I heard it. The queen will see and do it."

Carefully review the mistakes: "The minister, how are you?"

Yumin glanced at him again, and said calmly: "It's Lu character, please be careful with your words and deeds, and be more reserved. However, in my opinion, I should fine you a salary by the way, and it will be fined for three years."

Mingshen turned pale with shock: "The minister just made a mistake, why should he be fined? Brother Min, please speak a little bit of reason."

Yu Min said: "The attitude of admitting a mistake is poor, and you dare to justify it. The crime will be aggravated, and you will be fined for another three years. You can go to the household department to pay the money later, or you can pay it directly to me."

Suddenly six years' salary was deducted, Ming Shen dared not speak.

Yumin looked at him for a while, waited for him for a while, and asked, "...why aren't you kissing?"

Ming Shen: "???"

He asked, "Didn't you already withhold the money from the minister?"

Yumin was expressionless, but said in a somewhat resentful tone: "Forget it, next time."

Mingshen saw that he found a piece of paper and wrote several orthographic characters on it, so he asked curiously, "What is this?"

Yumin tapped his head with a pen: "Ah Shen, although I gave you 100 years' advance payment of the queen's salary, but the queen's salary and your salary in the Cleaning Department have to be separated, and now you have been deducted a total of 12 years. That is to say, you have to make up 12 years of performance, money is part of it, and more importantly, you have to work for 12 years."

Ming Shen: "..."

Yumin said again: "This piece of paper is the IOU between you and me. There is no cap on it, but I feel that I will still treat you preferentially. It will be almost the same when your 100-year salary is deducted."

Ming Shen said: "But the queen's salary you gave me...hasn't fully arrived yet, it's still 90 years away."

Yumin raised his eyebrows, and stuffed the pen into his palm: "Okay, husband and wife must settle accounts clearly, Shen, you also make up what I owe you."

Mingshen raised the pen cautiously, and took a cautious look at Yumin.

Yumin encouraged him: "Don't be afraid, write with confidence."

Mingshen honestly wrote down that Yumin owed him 9 taels of silver—he remembered that at the beginning of the year, Yumin originally wanted to pay him the 100-year queen's salary in advance, but Zhang Nianjing was in charge of the household department at that time. He also stretched his hand into the small royal treasury, because Yumin didn't have enough reason to mobilize such a large batch of silver taels.

He asked: "Brother Min, has the issue of the household department been resolved?"

Yumin said: "What's your problem? Oh, those people in the household department are itchy, I'll be obedient after cleaning up. I don't want to make you rich so quickly, otherwise you'll have to drink flower wine and drink flowers again." I don't have the wine with me yet."

Ming Shen said: "Oh."

Yumin waited patiently for him to finish writing, then picked up the seal and stamped it, and asked Cheng Yiduo to bring the Phoenix seal, forcing Mingshen to stamp it too.After Mingshen finished these things, Yumin threw the phoenix seal into Mingshen's arms: "This one is old, I will create a new seal for you when the time comes. You can take this back and play with it."

Mingshen looked at this phoenix seal, as if he was holding a hot potato and dared not touch it.Yu Min thoughtfully put the Phoenix seal into his sleeve pocket for him, and then copied a copy of their joint IOUs as they were—one owed for 90 years, and the other is currently owed for 12 years, and it is still increasing.

Mingshen asked: "This, no matter how you look at it, it looks like a contract of prostitution..."

"Broken deed?" Yu Min came over solemnly, picked him up and put him in her arms, bowed her head and kissed the corner of his lips affectionately, "...it's obviously a marriage contract, silly."
