Rebirth of a Star General - Chapter 119

Chapter 119

A group of people stood outside the guard station.

The people next to the carriage were unloading the boxes from the carriage and were very busy. The guests were sitting and drinking tea in the resting place at the entrance of the guard.

As soon as Xiao Juefu walked in, he saw Liang Ping pouring tea.

“The fourth son of Chu.” It was Lin Shuanghe who greeted him first. He shook his fan and said with a familiar smile as if the host was entertaining guests: “I wonder if the tea is still good for the taste?”

Chu Zilan stood up and handed over to Lin Shuanghe and Xiao Jue: “Supervisor Xiao, Master Lin.” He smiled and said, “Liangzhouwei’s Yunwu tea is mellow and beautiful, with fragrant teeth and cheeks. The Governor has a good taste.”

Xiao Jue handed over a chair and sat down and stared at him: “It’s just thick tea, you are welcome.”

Chu Zhao didn’t feel annoyed, and only smiled: “The governor is joking.”

The fourth son of Shijin Bo’s House is the same age as Xiao Jue this year. Compared with Xiao Jue’s often indifferent and weary expression, he appears to be much gentler. He was born very well, with beautiful features, fair skin, and a large jade robe, making him look thinner and thinner. His eyes are long and narrow, always smiling, and he is really gentle and gentle.

The two of them are in the same place, one is as cold as the autumn water, and the other is as clear as the orchid, which is very pleasing to the eye.

Beside Chu Zhao, there was a girl who looked like a maid. Although she was wearing the clothes of a maid, she was very beautiful. Her features were deep and bright. Even if she was pure and simple, she could hardly conceal her beauty. Lin Shuanghe, who is accustomed to seeing beautiful people like this, couldn’t help but dazzle his eyes more when he saw the face of this woman, and sighed secretly in his heart that this master and servant stood together, much less like a human being in the world. Among the four sons of Uncle Shi Jin, the first three looked plain. Only this one grew up like this. It seemed that the mother’s appearance was really important.

“The fourth son of Chu came to Liangzhouwei, why?” Xiao Jue said.

Chu Zhao smiled and said: “Your Majesty heard that Governor Xiao had annihilated tens of thousands of enemy troops in Liangzhouwei, eliminating the remnants of the Qiang people, Longyan Joy, specially asked me to send rewards, and take a look at the morale of the soldiers of Liangzhouwei.”

“Send reward?” Xiao Jue looked at him playfully, and said casually: “The bitter cold land of Liangzhou can let the fourth son of Chu come to watch it,” he smiled slightly, “not easy.”

Chu Zhao said, “It is Zilan’s luck to see the heroes led by Governor Xiao in person.”

Xiao Jue laughed and said nothing.

“This great victory in Liangzhou, Your Majesty also ordered me to hold a banquet here to celebrate my achievements.” Chu Zhao said, “But I don’t know how Liangzhou Weisuo celebrated my achievements. So, only trouble is over.”

“The recruits who died in the battle have just been buried,” Xiao Jue said, “I’m afraid it’s not appropriate to celebrate their achievements now.”

Chu Zhao smiled softly, but his tone was very insistent, “How can you not bleed during a war? Besides, annihilating the enemy is a happy event. If you deserve it, you will be rewarded. This is what your majesty meant.”

Is this carrying out Emperor Wen Xuan?

Xiao Jue stared at him for a while, nodded for a while, and smiled: “Okay.” He stood up and said meaningfully, “Tomorrow, there will be a celebration banquet, so please invite the fourth son of Chu to join us.”

Chu Zhao got up and replied: “It is better to be respectful than fate.”

Xiao Jue left the house and told Feinu: “Arrange a room for the Fourth Young Master Chu.”

Feinu took the order and left.

Lin Shuanghe followed out, leaned close to him, and asked in a low voice, “Why did Chu Zhao come from? Look like this, you are going to live in Liangzhouwei for a period of time?”

“People are gone, Xu Jingfu is anxious,” Xiao Jue said quietly, “Send his dog to take a look. What’s the problem?”

Lin Shuanghe looked back at the room and saw that Chu Zhao was drinking tea in the room, and asked: “Is it a bit unsafe for him to stay here? This kid is Xu Jingfu’s after all.”

“Not safe?” Xiao Jue said: “It depends on his ability. Let’s go.”

“Where to go?”

“It’s a reward, but I should also see what it has.” Xiao Jue said playfully, “I came to Liangzhouwei with such a big fanfare, and a few boxes of rewards, it’s hard to say.”

“Are you going to pluck the goose again?”

Xiao Jue glanced at him.

Lin Shuanghe said: “No other meaning, just ask, don’t be angry. Walk around and watch my baby!”

…

He Yan returned from the martial arts field and returned to the situation of doing nothing. Lie on the bed and read a few travel notes. When Song Taotao delivered food and had dinner, when Song Taotao left, he heard movement outside the door. It seemed that Song Taotao was talking to someone, thinking it was Xiao Jue who came back. He got out of the bed with the stick and opened the door, and saw Lin Shuanghe at a glance.

“Dr. Lin?” He Yan looked around, not seeing Xiao Jue’s shadow, and asked, “Is the governor out there?”

“He went to discuss the celebration banquet with the head teacher.” Lin Shuanghe smiled and said, “I will wait for him in the room first, and I have something to tell him.”

“Celebration feast?” He Yan was stunned for a moment, “What celebration feast.”

“Liangzhou Weiqing feast.” Lin Shuanghe waved his hand at Song Taotao. After seeing Song Taotao left, he walked towards Heyan. When he reached the door, he suddenly stopped and refused to move forward.

He Yan inexplicably: “What’s wrong?”

Lin Shuanghe retracted his hand and said with a serious face: “It’s not good for men and women to live in the same room. It will damage your reputation if you spread it out.”

He Yan: “…”

She said: “No one here knows who I am. Doctor Lin can treat me as an ordinary recruit. Besides, haven’t you been here before?”

Lin Shuanghe waved his hand reservedly: “Before there were other people in the house, now it is you and me, I am afraid it will cause misunderstanding.”

“Is there any misunderstanding,” He Yan was helpless, “I often live in the same room with the captain, and there is nothing wrong with it.”

Hearing this, Lin Shuanghe took a step back: “That’s even more important. Friends’ wives can’t be played with. Am I the villain who betrays my friends?”

He Yan: “…”

What nonsense is this person talking about in a mess?

She thought about it, and finally came up with a good way: “Well, Young Master Lin, you go to the governor’s house, I am in my own house, I open the middle door, let’s talk through the middle door, this way , It’s not counted as being in one room, but in two rooms separately, is it feasible?”

Lin Shuanghe didn’t expect that He Yan could still be like this. He was taken aback for a moment and slapped his fan: “Just do it!”

So when He Yan returned to the house, he used Cheng Lisu’s silver wire to pry open the lock, and pushed the stool hard to the other end of the middle door, where Lin Shuanghe was already waiting.

He looked at the middle door and asked He Yan, “Do you play like this on weekdays?”

“How to play?”

“It’s…” When Lin Shuanghe said this, he seemed to feel embarrassed, shook his head and smiled: “I didn’t expect Huai Jin to be like this…”

He Yan was baffled by what he said, but still thinking about the celebration banquet he had just mentioned, so he asked: “Doctor Lin, what was the Liangzhou Wei celebration banquet you just mentioned?”

“You weren’t the ones who defeated Rita Muzi before, and wiped out tens of thousands of enemy troops,” Lin Shuanghe said: “Your Majesty heard about this, Long Yan Joye, specially invited people to bring rewards and awards to Liangzhou. Let’s celebrate the feast and reward the three armies.”

He Yan was stunned when he heard the words: “Now? It’s not good to celebrate now.”

It is not a good time to celebrate Wei’s work in Liangzhou now. Although this battle was won, it came in a hurry. At first, dozens of sentinels died without knowing it. Even if they came to the victory later, they mostly relied on the support of the Nanfu soldiers. The mood of these recruits at this moment, compared to the joy of winning a battle, is probably more sadness for the death of their comrades and fear of war. How can it be good to celebrate this time?

“Your Majesty’s meaning, what can I do?” Lin Shuanghe sighed, “Can you still not know how to promote?”

For a time, neither of them spoke.

After a while, He Yan asked: “The one who came to preach your majesty’s will is what Chu Zilan you are talking about today, right?” He Yan asked, “Who is Chu Zilan?”

“Have you never heard of Chu Zilan?” Lin Shuanghe was surprised at this.

He Yan shook his head.

“The dreamer of a girl in Beijing, ranked first is Xiao Rubi, ranked second is Xiao Huaijin, this Chu Zilan, ranked third.” Lin Shuanghe sighed, “but since Xiao Rubi married, only Xiao Huaijin and Chu Zilan is two of us. We Huai Jin is cold-tempered and don’t like to talk to girls. In recent years, she has been inferior to Chu Zilan. Although Chu Zilan was born a little lower, she is good-looking and gentle, and she has not yet married. You ask who the husband in the city is the most willing to marry a woman in the city. In all likelihood, it is Chu Zilan. What?” He looked at He Yan, “When you were in the city, you never heard of him. Name? Impossible!”

Of course He Yan didn’t know. She had been leading soldiers to fight before, so where did she have the mind to pay attention to Feng Huaxueyue, and what beautiful men were in the capital. Later, when he returned to Beijing, he married quickly, and there was no way to know the news of the foreign man. This Chu Zilan has never heard of it.

“I was raised in a deep boudoir by my father since I was a child, and I don’t even go out of the door. I rarely talk to foreign men,” He Yan said casually, “I really don’t know anything about these things outside.”

“Really?” Lin Shuanghe said: “Then your father really disciplines you very strictly.”

He Yan nodded: “Indeed.” She asked: “What is the relationship between Chu Zilan and Xiao Dudu?”

Although Xiao Jue is not close to others, he hasn’t seen anyone he particularly likes, but he hasn’t seen anyone he particularly hates. Xu Jingfu counts as one. This Chu Zilan hasn’t seen him today. Xiao Jue would be displeased when he heard his name.

Could it be that there was a festival before?

“That’s a long story.” Lin Shuanghe got up and poured himself a cup of tea before Xiaoji, took a sip of tea to moisturize his throat, then sat down again, and said to He Yan: “You haven’t heard of Chu Zilan. , I have heard of his father Shi Jin Bo Chu Linfeng.”

He Yan felt that the name sounded a little familiar. He thought for a moment, and said, “Is that the one who married the 19th room concubine, the one from each country?”

“Exactly!”

He Yan remembers the name Chu Linfeng. When he was in the army, the lieutenant’s men gathered together for a chat, not envying the emperor. The one who envied the most was this uncle Shi Jin. Uncle Shi Jin’s Yushu Linfeng was a beautiful man well-known to Wei, but his wife was a few years older than him. He was even more ugly and unsalted, with a fierce temperament.

A prodigal son like Chu Linfeng can never stop here. Before they got married, they wandered around the flower shop every day, and they got worse after getting married. The wife he married was also virtuous, she seemed to know that she was ordinary and could not be favored by her husband, so she never stopped him from taking a concubine. Over the years, I have accepted nineteen concubines, each with a beautiful face and a beautiful appearance, each with its own life and interest.

It’s just that the concubine is concubine. For so many years, except for the three young masters who crawled out of the wife’s belly, no concubine has ever given birth to Uncle Shi Jin’s flesh and blood.

It is said that these little concubines will be fed with poison before entering the gate of Chu’s house. Mrs. Shi Jin uncle squeezed these concubines to death, and no one dared to make a mess under her eyelids. Shi Jinbo still loves his concubine every day, and Mrs. Shi Jinbo just didn’t see her and raised her three sons.

Chu Zilan is Shi Jinbo’s fourth son, but he was not born by Mrs. Shi Jinbo.

“Is he the concubine from the concubine’s room?” He Yan asked.

“Neither, nor,” Lin Shuanghe said, “Mrs. Chu is in charge of the concubine, and it is more severe than your father who is in charge of you. How could the concubine’s house give birth to a son?”

“That is……”

“I don’t know what’s going on. Anyway, one day, when the Chu family feasted, there was a four-year-old son named Chu Zhao.” Lin Shuanghe took another sip of tea, “though he didn’t say anything. , But everyone knows that Chu Zhao is probably the illegitimate son of Chu Linfeng.”

He Yan’s eyes widened.

“Mrs. Chu is absolutely defensive. I didn’t expect Uncle Shi Jin to keep such a hand. The child is four years old and he has recognized it in front of everyone. What else?” Lin Shuanghe spread his hands, “If this is the case, Chu Zilan is nothing but Chu Linfeng’s concubine, but when Chu Zilan was ten years old, he was recorded under Mrs. Chu’s name. Therefore, his current status can be regarded as the fourth son of Shi Jin Bo’s family. Do you know what?”

“Why?”

“Because he is the most proud student of Xu Jingfu, then prime minister.”

He Yan was startled, Xu Jingfu again?

“Even though Uncle Shi Jin is turbulent, he is not a benevolent father. Chu Zilan’s life is not easy when he wants to come under Mrs. Chu. I don’t know what means he used to live safely to ten years old, and then he met Xu Jingfu. How could Uncle Shi Jin dare not care about Xu Xiang’s face? Later, Chu Zhao was remembered under Mrs. Chu’s name, which was probably Xu Jingfu’s meaning.”

“The Fourth Young Master Chu is very powerful.”

Lin Shuanghe looked at He Yan: “Do you think he is very powerful?”

“Awesome, as you said, he has no foreign aid in the mansion, his father doesn’t hurt, and his biological mother is not around. It’s really amazing to get to this step.”

“If you are not good, how can you become Xu Jingfu’s favorite student?” Lin Shuanghe shook his head and sighed.

“What about his biological mother?” He Yan asked, “Isn’t he included in Bo Shi Jin’s mansion?”

“I don’t know.” Lin Shuanghe shook his head, “I heard that he died of illness when he was given birth. If it weren’t for this, Chu Zilan’s current ability should make her live better.”

He Yan nodded thoughtfully, “So it turns out, it’s sad that Governor Xiao doesn’t like the Fourth Young Master Chu.”

Xiao Jue and Xu Jingfu are enemies and not friends. Chu Zilan is Xu Jingfu’s student, and naturally also Xiao Jue’s enemy.

“He…brother,” Lin Shuanghe said, “If you were to choose between Huaijin and Chu Zilan, who would you help?”

He Yan felt that this question was unbelievable, “Why ask this?”

“I’m just curious about what choices Da Wei’s girl will make.”

“I don’t know Chu Zilan at all.” He Yan said, “Of course I am on the side of the governor.”

Lin Shuanghe gave a very meaningful smile, “It’s not that early to speak, you will be able to see Chu Zilan at the celebration banquet tomorrow.”

He Yan: “…”

What if I saw it? Is there anything peculiar to it?

He Yan didn’t expect that, as Lin Shuanghe said, on the second day, she would meet the legendary big Wei girl’s dreamer, Chu Zilan, the fourth son of Chu who could compete with Xiao Jue.

…

This night, it was rare that there was no snow, and the next day, it happened to be a sunny day.

Although the weather is cold, people feel warm and warm when the sun shines on them. He Yan got up to drink porridge, feeling that the wounds on his waist were getting better soon after being exposed to the sun. Liangzhouwei is really peculiar. It is extremely hot in summer. He cries and screams when he sees the sun. In winter, he is already very happy to be able to get half of the sun.

Now she can’t go to the martial arts field for daily training, but feels that the sun is very good. She simply wanted to walk in the yard with a stick. When she walked to the door, she heard Song Taotao’s voice and said: “This golden cake roll is my first look. It’s mine!”

Then there was a woman’s good-tempered voice: “This girl, this is made by the cook brought by our son, not from the kitchen of the sanitary ware house, so it is not yours.”

“You said it’s your son’s son’s?” The little girl said angrily: “It’s all in the kitchen. How do I know if your chef made it? Since you have a chef, can you just make another one?”

“The golden cake roll process is troublesome. If you make another one, you will miss the time for the son to use the rice.”

“Then don’t eat it!”

“girl……”

He Yan couldn’t listen anymore, and walked out and said, “Miss Song.”

Song Taotao turned his head, looked over with the woman who was arguing with her, and said joyfully: “Brother He! This is golden cake roll, would you like to try it!”

He Yan: “…”

The woman also said, “That’s the son’s…”

He Yan took the golden cake roll and returned it to the woman, saying, “The kid is ignorant, please don’t care about it.”

“Brother He!” Song Taotao stomped angrily, “Why did you return it to her!”

“It belongs to others.” He Yan shook his head. She estimated that the son in the other party’s mouth should be Chu Zilan, the fourth son in Bo Shi Jin’s mansion. The relationship between Chu Zilan and Xiao Jue is so delicate, if Xiao Jue gets into trouble because of this, it will not be worth the gain.

“Thank you, son.” The woman smiled at He Yan Yanran.

He Yan was also startled, and for a moment, he was surprised by the girl’s face. Liangzhouwei’s girls are few, except for her fake ones, only Shen Muxue and Song Taotao. One is beautiful and the other is lovely. A peony-like thick one is especially eye-catching.

Chu Zilan even the maid looks so beautiful? He Yan said in his heart that the husband of the big Wei woman mentioned by Lin Shuanghe was ranked first, and only a fool would choose Chu Zilan. This maid is so beautiful, how can an ordinary woman get into his eyes? It’s better to choose Xiao Jue. Xiao Jue is surrounded by men. Maybe it is men who look more. If you look at a woman, the requirements will be much lower and there are still some opportunities.

Seeing He Yan staring at the other person’s face and not speaking, Song Taotao became even more anxious, pulling He Yan’s sleeve anxiously and saying, “What do you think she does? What’s so interesting!”

When the woman holding the golden cake roll saw this, she let out a “pouch” laugh, her smile fascinating.

“Ying Xiang,” someone said.

The maidservant named Yingxiang immediately put away his smile and leaned to the front, “Fourth Young Master.”

Fourth son? Chu Zilan? He Yan turned around, his eyes falling on the person in front of him.

This is a young man, wearing a light jade robe, extremely wide sleeves, and a jade crown, like an orchid, noble and clean, and like a handsome fairy. With a faint smile on his face, Chong Heyan nodded.

He Yan frowned, this person looked so familiar.

He was also startled when he saw He Yan, and smiled after a while, as if he could see He Yan’s thoughts, stretched out his hand, palm up, and said softly: “Little brother, your things have fallen.”

In a word, He Yan regained consciousness, she remembered where she had seen this person! She was still in Shuojing that day, racking her brains for He Yunsheng’s study, she had to go to Letongzhuang to gamble, but she was chased by the losers, and they were all beaten down. Suddenly someone appeared and told her Lost money.

The good looks of that person is hard to forget as long as you meet people. Now suddenly I saw it here, because it was daylight, He Yan didn’t recognize it for a moment, but he recognized He Yan first.

“You… Fourth Young Master Chu?” He Yan asked.

Chu Zilan nodded: “It’s me.”

He Yan was speechless for a while, what kind of luck was she. What a coincidence is that you can meet the dreamer of the big Wei girl in the night and fight over the wall casually?

“Under Chu Zhao,” Chu Zilan smiled and looked at He Yan. “My little brother and I are old acquaintances, but we still don’t know the name of the little brother. Dare to ask the little brother’s last name?”

With such a gentle and polite manner, He Yan somewhat understood why he could match Xiao Jue, and hurriedly replied: “Don’t dare to be, in the next He Yan. Cao Mu He, He Qing Haiyan’s Yan.”

Chu Zhao smiled, “Good name. But,” he looked around and asked in confusion, “Why is Brother He here?”

“Me?” He Yan said, “I am a recruit from Liangzhouwei, but I was injured a few days ago, so I didn’t go to the martial arts field for daily training.”

“I see.”

At this time, Song Taotao, who had not spoken, finally remembered. She took He Yan’s hand carefully. She probably saw that Chu Zilan was born too well, and the aggressiveness towards Ying Xiang disappeared instantly. A little embarrassed, she whispered: “Brother He, who is this person, do you know?”

It was difficult to answer these words. She knew Chu Zhao, but they were not as familiar as Song Taotao thought. It’s just that when I saw a familiar face in Liangzhouwei suddenly, I was a little excited subconsciously.

He Yan said: “This is the Fourth Young Master from Boss Shi Jin’s Mansion. When I was in Shuojing, I had a relationship with him.”

Chu Zhao smiled and said, “It’s an old friend.”
