Chapter 772: Big Brother's Sister-in-law
Du Ruhui's words made several colleagues beside him prick up their ears.
Just now, the minister named Cui's eyes turned. Although he had lived in Chang'an for a long time and had not been in his hometown for many years, he was a real Boling native and one of the most outstanding figures of the Boling Cui family's generation.
"After, have you heard what the right prime minister said? The Cui family in Boling in Liaodong has gained a lot of benefits this time. Your second wife has been calling her poor before, so she has also shared some of the benefits this time!"
An Shang is the name Cui Dunli. Cui Dunli and Cui Yiye are of the same generation. During the Zhenguan period when the relationship between Cui and Li Shimin of Boling was tense, he served as the General of the General Affairs Office, the General of the Left Guard, the Secretary of the Central Secretariat, the Minister of War, and the Minister of War.
In addition, Cui Dunli was also familiar with the situation of the various tribes, and sent many missions to the Turks, Uighurs, Tiel, etc., and later defeated Xue Yantuo with Li Ji.
Of course, Cui Dunli in this time and space is a little frustrated, and Xi Yunfei's appearance indirectly disrupted his life trajectory.
Because of his support for Li Shimin to proclaim himself emperor, Cui Dunli was suppressed by several other houses in his hometown. As a court official, Cui Dunli never raised his head in front of his colleagues.
In addition, he should have been on missions to the Turks many times and showed favorability in front of Li Shimin.
As a result, because of Xi Yunfei's invasion, the Turks were expected to join the Tang Dynasty soon, and there was no need for him to go on a mission. If an official didn't even have a slight political achievement, then this would probably be the case in his life...
"I don't know either."
Cui Dunli really didn't understand the specific situation, so she shook her head and said, "My father's letter mentioned some. This time the family has bet on all their wealth. If they lose, let me stay in Chang'an..."
The sound of what was said later was a little bit small, and I couldn't hear clearly if I didn't pay attention.
Several other colleagues looked at each other, not knowing whether it was a teasing or an envious look in their eyes, because the Boling Cui won the bet this time, and it was a huge victory with great profit.
“Fill it.”
"Well... what are the instructions for the right prime minister?"
Cui Dunli was a little dazed at first, but when he heard Du Ruhui's call, he hurriedly stood up and bowed.
Du Ruhui chuckled his beard and chuckled. He first looked at the young young man from an extraordinary background in front of him, and then looked at Yuchi Gong, and then said, "Super, you were originally from the Cui family of Boling. Now you haven't been home to visit your relatives for almost a year, right?"
Cui Dunli was stunned when he heard this. He was not stupid. He was a shrewd young man. He understood what Du Ruhui meant after a flash of his mind.
Several other colleagues exclaimed, thinking that this kid is probably going to make a comeback. As expected, a good background is comparable to my hard work for more than ten years. Why is this world so unfair?
Du Ruhui ignored the strangeness of others and continued, "I plan to send you north to work. On the premise of ensuring the completion of the task, I will allow you to stay home for ten days. I wonder what you think?"
Cui Dunli's eyebrows and eyes moved slightly. After thinking for a moment, he bowed and replied: "The right prime minister is kind, Dunli has received it. However, now my adults are all in Liaodong, and even if I go home, I will not see them."
Du Ruhui looked at him with great interest and said to himself: This kid is not always visible but has a bright heart. It seems that I am a little artificial if I beat around the bush.
As soon as he thought of this, Du Ruhui coughed lightly and said bluntly: "This is the best. There are a lot of news coming from Liaodong. It just so happened that General Yuchi and I had something to do. Due to my identity, I couldn't directly participate. If An Shang went north to visit his relatives, I hope it would be easy..."

Tai Chi Palace, Ganlu Palace and Garden.
"Brother Yunfei, you eat it, this is delicious. Mom and I like it very much."
Xi Yunfei took the osmanthus cake from the little girl with laughter and cry, and nodded with a bitter face: "Eat it better!"
Li Shimin and Empress Changsun were laughing and laughing, especially Li Shimin, which was the first time he saw Xi Yunfei.
Empress Changsun covered her mouth and smiled, "Yuzhang, don't make things difficult for you brother Yun Fei, you see that he is almost crying."
When the little girl heard this, she looked at Xi Yunfei curiously. Seeing that Xi Yunfei looked embarrassed, she suddenly pouted her mouth and tilted her cerebral and said, "Does Brother Yunfei like to eat osmanthus cake?"
Xi Yunfei dared not say he didn't like it, so he shook his head: "I like it, my brother likes the pastries given by Yu Zhang very much."
The little girl could not understand what he said. She was so ignorant that she felt that she was not hated. She instantly loved Brother Yun Fei in front of her a little more, and was no longer as reserved as she was at the beginning. She rushed into Xi Yunfei's arms with a thrust.
"Oh, oh... I hit my brother to death." Xi Yunfei covered his stomach and pretended to be hurt. He scared the little girl so much that she shrank her neck and observed Xi Yunfei with big eyes aggrievedly. She didn't know where she hit her, which made her brother feel so painful.
"Where does it hurt, there is no matter where you are? Brother Yunfei won't cry. Yu Zhang will help you, but Huhu won't hurt anymore!"
Xi Yunfei looked down at the little girl's dazzling eyes and her little face that was frightened and blamed.
At this moment, my heart was filled with guilt, even if he was just joking with the little girl...
After playing with the little girl for a while, a nanny came to take Xiao Yuzhang away. This girl was too young and usually had a lunch break at noon.
Children can grow up faster after sleeping more. Xi Yunfei waved goodbye to her and promised to give the little girl a box of lollipops that she could never finish, which made the reluctant Xiao Yuzhang leave step by step.
Empress Changsun did not stay for too long. She exchanged greetings with each other a few more questions, asked about her elder brother and sister-in-law, and then asked Xi Yunfei to go to the palace for more time and then said goodbye.
In the garden, only Li Shimin and Xi Yunfei were left, and the atmosphere between the two men suddenly began to subtle.
Relatively speechless...
a long time.
"Ahem, that, about the illness of Guanyin maid, should I call the medical officer here so that you can have a understanding in your heart?"
Xi Yunfei glanced at Li Shimin and nodded slightly. This guy was also a dedicated person and had always been thinking about Empress Changsun in his heart.
Seeing Xi Yunfei nodding, Li Shimin was overjoyed and clapped his hands. Then the palace maid understood. Before leaving, the palace maid even took a special look at Xi Yunfei.
"It looks familiar?"
Xi Yunfei also noticed her and was stunned, as if he had seen this palace maid somewhere.
Li Shimin heard this and said with a smile: "That is the child of the Medicine Master's family, named Li Xiangning, and her mother is the old friend of Guanyin maid."
Li Shimin did not explain it too clearly, but Xi Yunfei made up for it himself... Maybe it was because his concubine gave birth to a daughter, so he couldn't stand the "abuse" of Zhang Nuxia at home, so he could only go to the palace?
After thinking about it, Xi Yunfei smiled embarrassedly and said, "In that case, it's my elder brother's sister-in-law. She didn't say hello well just now. It's really a bit rude, haha."
Li Shimin picked up the teacup, touched Xi Yunfei's cup, and said, "It's not a question of being rude. Those who don't know are not guilty. Besides, Xiangning girl probably has no impression of you... Well, it's not entirely true. I remember that when your two families were engaged, she even went to Shuofang for Guanyin maid..."
