Rebirth of a Star General - Chapter 134

Chapter 134

After Xiao Jue played the piano, accepted everyone’s praise, and returned to his seat. Since then, He Yan has no interest in feasting, who knows if someone else will come over and want to see her other talents, what if she wants to write and compose poems? She can’t stop her by saying “have an agreement with her husband” again.

After sitting tremblingly, fortunately, nothing else happened. After the wine and food were full, everyone dispersed. He Yan followed Xiao Jue out, and it was about this time that he could talk to Cui Yuezhi alone.

The eldest concubine of Cui Yuezhi walked beside He Yan, slightly behind Cui Yuezhi and Xiao Jue. This concubine was older than Heyan and looked gentle and honest, with the surname Wei. Aunt Wei said, “The son is really kind to the young lady.”

He Yan was stunned for a moment, and was about to say “Why is this?”, then he thought about it, and said with a smile: “Yes, my husband loves me very much. He is obedient to me on weekdays, and everything is toward me. I feel myself too. It’s really a blessing from cultivation in the last life, and only in this life can we find such a wishful man.”

Aunt Wei “pouch” laughed, and said: “It is said that Jiyang women are straightforward. I think young masters have something to say.”

He Yan smiled secretly in his heart, and arranged for Xiao Jue a title of “satisfaction with his wife”. In this way, in these days in Jiyang, wouldn’t he be able to rely on this “name” to act wrongly. Xiao Jue probably didn’t expect that he would dig a hole for himself to jump!

With the effort to speak, the two have entered the main hall of the mansion. I don’t know which room of Cui Yuezhi’s aunt has already prepared hot tea, waiting for them to enter.

Cui Yuezhi sat down on the chair and waved his hand: “You all go down.”

Several concubine rooms and servants all went down.

He smiled again: “Huanqing, Yuyan, sit down.”

Although Cui Yuezhi was a middle rider, he didn’t have much arrogance. He looked like a martial artist in the army. He looked honest and kind, but he had a pair of bright and sharp eyes, like a blunt-looking long knife. When the knife was out of its sheath, it was frightening.

Xiao Jue and He Yan sat down on the chairs beside him.

“Yesterday, I was going to come back to meet you, but my Royal Highness stayed at a banquet and couldn’t come back for a while. I was able to meet today.” He looked at Xiao Jue carefully for a while, and sighed: “I just thought that You look good, and when you look closely now, you and my dead brother still have some similarities.”

He Yan: “…”

“It looks a bit like me.” Cui Yuezhi said: “It is indeed my Cui family.”

He Yan: “…”

Xiao Jue nodded.

“When you were just born, I even hugged you. At that time, you were only two fists as big as mine? Maybe only one fist.” Cui Yuezhi said here, “Big brother is reluctant to let me touch. Later you were caught Take it away…” His eyes were sullen, “Big brother and sister-in-law thought of you before they died. If they can see such a wonderful life today, they will be very happy.”

Xiao Jue was silent.

Cui Yuezhi himself laughed instead, “Look at me, it’s okay to say what these unpleasant things are doing, you are defeated! Huanqing, Yuyan, you are here just right this time, and it will be the spring equinox in a few days. Let’s take the Water God Festival in Jiyang. , Be sure to join in the fun, take care that you don’t want to leave when you come.”

He Yan was surprised: “Vernal Equinox?”

“What?” Cui Yuezhi said: “But what’s wrong.”

“No, no.” He Yan laughed, “It’s just that my birthday is also the equinox… a few days later, it’s a coincidence.”

“Really?” Cui Yuezhi was also surprised for a moment, and then burst into laughter, “It seems that Yuyan has a lot of fate with us in Jiyang! Your birthday coincides with the Water God Festival, Huanqing, when you introduce you to us Yuyan Birthday.”

Xiao Jue glanced at her and said, “Okay.”

They spoke for a while, and Cui Yuezhi stood up and said, “Huanqing, Yuyan, you follow me to the ancestral hall and give the eldest brother and sister-in-law incense. You have not seen it for many years. Qing now has a family and a business, he must be very pleased.”

He Yan and Xiao Jue followed to the ancestral hall. After Cui Yue finished the fragrance, it was not early, so Cui Yuezhi asked his servants to take them back to the house and rest earlier. When tomorrow arrives, we will play around in Jiyang City.

When the two of them returned to the house, He Yan couldn’t wait to sit down on the collapse, and said: “I’m exhausted! I’ve been sitting in distress for a whole day. Playing as a girl is really not a human job, even in the martial arts field. Training is much easier than this.”

“‘Pretend’ as a girl?” Xiao Jue chuckled, “It seems you really don’t think of yourself as a girl.”

He Yan was also very helpless, thinking that the couple Xiao Jue had found was also a talented woman. If she were to act as the “daughter of a military commander’s family” or “the girl who helped the dock boatman move stones and pick firewood”, It will be seamless.

Xiao Jue took off his outer garment and placed it on the wooden table beside the soft collapse. He Yan sat up, “Thank you so much for today. If it weren’t for your help, something big would happen.”

“I’m not a spoiled wife, I am obedient to you, do you care about everything?” Second Young Master Xiao said with a mean ridicule, “It should be.”

He Yan: “Did you hear that?”

Although they were all fake, it was weird and embarrassed to be heard by Xiao Jue. She smiled and said: “I’m not trying to make our husband and wife relationship look more affectionate and more real. Don’t get angry, Master.”

As he was talking, someone knocked on the door outside, and He Yan said, “Come in.”

Cui Jiao and Hong Qiao came in with a food basket alone, and took out the same dishes on the table. He Yan was startled and asked, “I didn’t let anyone come in for food.”

“I called it.” Xiao Jue said: “Put it here and go out.”

Cui Jiao and Hong Qiao left the back room as they said.

He Yan said strangely: “Are you not full? At the banquet just now.”

Xiao Jue sneered slightly: “I don’t know who is so disturbed by Ling Xiu who is so frightened that he doesn’t even eat any food.” He said, “Promise?”

He Yan: “You found it.”

Xiao Jue: “It was discovered by everyone.”

“Is it so obvious?” He Yan was very suspicious, but he immediately became happy when he saw the food on the table, and only said: “So these are specially given to me? Thank you, Master! Master, your heart is so kind. There is nothing more in the world than you. good person.”

“Stop talking,” Xiao Jue frowned slightly: “The person who listens is sick.”

He Yan has long been accustomed to the way he talks, and he drags him to sit down at the table, “It’s just a midnight snack, and you can eat together.”

“Don’t eat.”

“Eat, eat,” He Yan pulled his sleeves to prevent him from leaving, and gave him a pair of chopsticks. “You see, there are two pairs of chopsticks here. They were originally prepared for two people. I can’t finish it alone. Help me. Busy young master.”

Xiao Jue seemed to have heard some joke and said indifferently: “Miss He Da may have underestimated her good appetite.”

“Although I have a good appetite, I am not a rice bucket either.” He Yan said, “Furthermore, you have never heard a word called Xiusekecan. I could have eaten three bowls of rice, but seeing the handsome appearance of the young master, I can eat it. Five bowls.”

Xiao Jue choked for a moment, “Are you a pig?”

“Don’t speak so badly.” He Yan said, pushing a plate of shrimp seed winter bamboo shoots and three loofah rolls in front of him, “Don’t you like this? Eat it.”

Xiao Jue was startled. After a while, he raised his eyes to look at her: “How do you know?”

He Yan put a piece of steamed cake in his mouth: “I saw you clip two chopsticks when I had breakfast, and I clipped it again at the lunch banquet. You won’t touch anything you don’t like. I guess you should. Like it. But you are so strange, why do you like to be vegetarian, are rich people so particular about it?” No wonder the waist is so thin, she thought.

Xiao Jue didn’t answer her words, just bowed his head and used the food slowly.

He Yan didn’t care about him either. When she was a boy, she was a man, because she was afraid of being exposed, so she liked to think about the details. After all, the details determine success or failure. The men of the He family were all stared at by her carefully, and at one time some people thought that he had a mental problem. Later, I was better in the military. After all, I had been a man for many years and had already had experience.

If she wants to observe a person, she must be able to observe very carefully, not to mention that Xiao Jue is getting along with her day and night, wanting to know what he likes to eat and what he hates, it is too easy.

“Your birthday is really after the vernal equinox?” He Yan was eating happily, unexpectedly hearing Xiao Jue’s question.

She paused, but she didn’t show her face, and said nonchalantly: “How is it possible? I just said casually, what if Master Cui wants to give me a birthday gift? Wouldn’t it be possible to take this opportunity to make a good profit.”

Xiao Jue snorted: “Liar.”

“How am I a liar,” He Yan took an inch and said boldly, “I think the young master is perfectly dressed at the banquet today, and deceived everyone. What’s “I have an agreement with my wife”…Hahaha, young master, To be honest, I didn’t expect to hear this from your mouth.”

Xiao Jue watched He Yan teasing in his spare time. After she had laughed enough, he asked, “It’s funny?”

“It’s funny.”

He nodded: “Then you can handle it yourself, Mrs. Joe.”

He Yan couldn’t laugh anymore.

She said: “Master, I just said it casually, you must not take it to heart.”

Xiao Jue ignored her and drank the soup unhurriedly.

“Stingy.” She said: “It’s really stingy and breathtaking.”

Xiao Jue was still unmoved.

He Yan rolled his eyes and softened his voice: “Husband, my concubine is wrong, ask my husband to forgive my concubine’s rudeness, my concubine will never dare anymore, my husband, my husband?”

Xiao Jue couldn’t bear it: “…shut up!”

He said: “You speak to me well.”

He Yan understood that the indifferent and ruthless Governor Xiao was a horn of softness or hardness, and she laughed loudly.

The laughter reached the next door, and Feinu Chiwu, who was playing the leaf card with Lin Shuanghe, raised their heads in unison.

Chi Wu sighed: “To do this kind of performance, the governor is really too hard, so does He Yan, who almost sees herself as a woman. They are all like this, why don’t we have to work hard?”

Feinu was speechless, Lin Shuanghe smiled and said, “Hmm… indeed, very hard.”

…

At night, one person still slept in bed, and one person slept on the side.

Early the next morning, He Yan got up a little later. When he woke up, he saw Xiao Jue standing at the door talking to Feinu Chiwu.

After He Yan freshened up, Cui Jiao and Hong Qiao brought breakfast to the kitchen, and He Yan said to Xiao Jue: “Master, we have dinner.”

“You can eat yourself.” Xiao Jue said: “I have something to go out today, not in the house. You stay at the house with Lin Shuanghe, don’t run around.”

“Are you going out? What are you going to do?” He Yan asked, “Can you take me?”

Xiao Jue was speechless for a moment, and said, “Inconvenience.”

He Yan hesitated for a while, walked over, and asked in a low voice, “Are you going to find Chai Anxi’s whereabouts?”

As soon as he said this, Chi Wu was taken aback for a moment, but he didn’t expect Xiao Jue to tell He Yan about this.

“Yes. Bringing you along is suspicious.”

He Yan nodded: “All right, then you go.”

It is rare for her to be so refreshing, not sticking up like a tail, which surprised Xiao Jue for a moment and looked at her thoughtfully.

He Yan turned and walked into the house: “Go and go quickly, when I change my mind, you can’t get rid of me.”

Xiao Jue didn’t say anything, and led Chiwu and Feinu away.

After they left, He Yan finished breakfast alone. Cui Yuezhi was not in the house, so he went to train early in the morning. He Yan went to look for Lin Shuanghe in the next room, rushed to the air, and the maidservant who was waiting for Lin Shuanghe smiled and said, “Steward Lin went out early in the morning and said he wanted to buy something and would come back later.”

He Yan thought about it for a moment, and then he understood. Lin Shuanghe is not a real housekeeper, and he has been around Xiao Jue these few days, I’m afraid I’m tired of it long ago. It is rare for Xiao Jue to go out today and find some free time. It’s just that this person is not kind, and he won’t call her when he goes out. Maybe she is afraid that she will turn around and complain to Xiao Jue?

However, Lin Shuanghe’s move brought He Yan into his arms.

It’s been a few days since she came to Jiyang City, but because she is now “Wen Yuyan” and stays with Xiao Jue from time to time, she has no spare time to inquire about Liu Buwang’s whereabouts. Today, Xiao Jue and Lin Shuanghe are not there, just so she can act alone.

When Liu Bulong separated from her, he once said that if there is a chance to pass by Jiyang in the future, there is a tea shop at the foot of the mountain outside Jiyang city. If you want to find him, you can go to the tea shop to find out. Goodbye chance.

He Yan put on her outer clothes and tidied up her things. Cui Jiao saw this and asked, “Madam, is this going out?”

“The young master and the housekeeper are not there today. I don’t know anyone else in the house alone. It’s boring. Let’s go out and take a look. The weather is very good these few days. How about going out on the mountains outside Jiyang?”

The two girls looked at each other, so good, which door did they step on?

“That’s it.” He Yan said, thinking for a while, holding the nine-segment whip that can be stretched into several sections in his arms, turning around and walking outside the door: “Let’s go.”

…

Without Xiao Jue, He Yan was free and uncontrolled.

She was a guest of the Cui family, and naturally no one in the Cui family dared to stop her. Zhong Fu was worried that she would go out alone, and he wanted to ask her to take two guards from the Cui Mansion, but He Yan sternly refused.

“I’m just going around here for a while, never going far, besides, the sky is blue and the sky is wide, and there shouldn’t be anyone guilty. Butler Zhong can rest assured. I’ll go to my husband and be by my husband’s side after a while. The two escorts have high martial arts, enough for them.”

Zhong Fu reluctantly agreed.

After leaving the Cui family, He Yan asked Cuijiao to hire a carriage not far from the house and asked the coachman to go outside the city.

Hong Qiao asked cautiously: “Madam, are we really going out of town?”

“It’s not out of the city, or to take a look at Qiyun Mountain outside the city,” He Yan said, “I passed by Qiyun Mountain when I came and saw the beautiful scenery on the mountain. I am very longing for it. I just have time today. It is better to hit the sun if I choose a day. , It’s just right to go now.”

What she said was the same as the truth, and the two little girls did not suspect him.

When he arrived at the city gate, He Yan showed the token Cui Yuezhi gave her to the city gate guard. Seeing that it was from Cui’s mansion, the gate guard let him go easily, and Ren Heyan left the city.

Qiyun Mountain is just outside the city gate, and the road is not difficult to walk. When the foot of the mountain was reached, He Yan said vigorously, “I’m a little thirsty, so I might as well look for a tea shop nearby and sit down and rest. Go back in a while.”

Naturally, Cuijiao and Hongqiao wouldn’t say bad, so Hongqiao got off the carriageway: “Madam, let’s take a rest in the car first, and the slave and maid will go down and have a look.”

Not long after, Hong Qiao came back and said with a smile: “There happens to be a tea shop nearby, not far away, madam, the slave and maid will help you down, let’s just walk over.”

He Yan readily agreed.

Not long after a few people walked, they saw a thatched tea shop under a locust tree at the foot of the mountain, where tea shoppers were sitting and chatting in twos and threes.

He Yan stepped forward and asked for a few cups of tea and a little snack. Let Cui Jiao Hong Qiao moisten her throat with the coachman.

“Madam, slaves are not thirsty.”

“The servants are not thirsty either.”

“How can you not be thirsty after such a long journey?” He Yan said: “Drink, I’ll ask the shopkeeper, what’s fun in this neighborhood.”

Before they could answer, He Yan walked straight forward.

The owner of the tea shop is a couple, who are middle-aged, with a blue cloth towel wrapped around their heads, and their skin is dark, probably because of the heat, they are a little red. The auntie saw He Yan, and asked, “Girl, but the tea and snacks don’t suit your taste?”

He Yan smiled and said, “No, I’m here to ask you about someone.”

“Inquire about people?” The shopkeeper put the veil in his hands on his shoulders, “Who is the girl who wants to inquire about?”

“My name is Liu Buwang,” He Yan gestured, “I’m a head taller than me, and I’m a pretty good man. I’m about forty years old. He carries a piano and a sword on his back. He likes to wear white clothes, like A swordsman and knight.” After a pause, he added: “It doesn’t have to be white. In short, he is a very elegant man.”

After all, she and Liu Bu-forg have not seen each other for many years. Perhaps Liu Bu-forg now doesn’t like to wear white clothes.

The aunt thought for a moment, then smiled, and said, “Girl, this person you are talking about is a Yunlin resident, right?”

“Lady Yunlin?”

“Yeah, we don’t know what his name is, but every year or a few days after the Water God Festival, he will show up at our tea shop and ask us to ask for a cup of tea. As for Yunlin Lay, that’s what we listen to. He, after calling, we don’t know his surname or his first name, but according to what you said, he is very elegant and looks good in white, and he is carrying a piano. This should be this person.”

He Yan was overjoyed and only asked, “Then do you know where he is now?”

“Girl, you are embarrassing us.” The shopkeeper said: “We are not interested in asking people where he is. Naturally, I don’t know where he is now, but don’t be discouraged. He will come every year after the Water God Festival. This place, I think, should be in Jiyang City now to catch up with the Water God Festival at the Spring Equinox.”

He Yan’s face was distressed, Jiyang City is not small, if he borrows Cui Yuezhi’s people, it may not be difficult to find a Liu Buxiang. It is a pity that this matter cannot be known to others, and naturally she can only look for it alone.

It’s not easy.

Seeing her look different, the aunt asked: “Girl, who is he, you should look for him.”

“It’s an old acquaintance who hasn’t seen for a long time.” He Yan smiled bitterly, and after a while, he said again: “If this year after the Water God Festival, the Yunlin layman comes here to drink tea again, please help from the shopkeeper to bring it for me. Give him a word, just say that Ahe is in Jiyang now, please don’t leave, just stay here, waiting to see each other.”

“Good.” The shopkeeper smiled and said: “Custody and bring it here!”

He Yan relieved now.

She returned to the tea shop and sat down, Cui Jiao and Hong Qiao asked, “Madam, the tea is cold.”

“It’s not good to drink when it’s cold, so I won’t drink it anymore.” He Yan said. To be honest, with the lessons of the previous life, she really didn’t dare to drink the tea outside.

The two maids looked at each other for a long while, and Hong Qiao asked, “Mrs., where do you think you want to go?”

“I just asked the shopkeeper, and the shopkeeper said that there are wolves on the mountain these few days, and it’s best not to go up the mountain.” He Yan lied without changing his face, “I thought about it, and felt that our weak women are too dangerous. That’s why I won’t go hiking in the mountains today, just go back to the house.”

Coachman: “…”

He wanted to say something and stopped, but in the end he didn’t say anything. How could there be such a thing. He went out and wandered around and went back without doing anything. This is not a joke. The wife of Huzhou just can’t afford to offend, she is obviously proud of her favor!

unacceptable!

…

At the other end, Xiao Jue and the three found the location of Cuiwei Pavilion.

Lei Hou said that the person who contacted him by letter was in the Cuiwei Pavilion in Jiyang. Xiao Jue suspected that this person was Chai Anxi, but now, the shop in front of him has become a dark scorched wood. To the smell of burnt.

“This Cuiwei Pavilion was originally a shop selling jewellery,” the spy who replied said, “Half a month ago, there was a fire one night, and the Cuiwei Pavilion was burnt clean. The guys inside were the shopkeepers, and The new accountant, Mr. Chai, did not run out.”

The person is gone, the clue is broken.

“There are bones visible?” Xiao Jue asked.

“It’s all burnt to ashes. Where there are bones, the neighbors are very miserable. This Cuiwei Pavilion has been here all the time. The government said that it would be repaired a bit later, but the surrounding shops were too bad and closed. .”

Chiwu threw the silver ingot to the spy, and the spy took it into his arms, arched his hands at a few of them, and disappeared into the crowd.

Xiao Jue looked at his back and said for a long while: “Escaped.”

No fire early, no fire late. It happened only half a month ago that the fire broke out. Obviously, Leihou’s capture was exposed, and the other party escaped.

“Do you want to check? Master.” Feinu asked, “Now the clues are interrupted…”

“No need to check.” Xiao Jue turned around.

The two were taken aback.

“Since it is known to be exposed, the other party hides its identity, and it is bound to be hidden in the dark, waiting for the opportunity. The enemy is in the dark, and I am also in the dark, so I don’t have to do anything.”

“Just wait,” he said.
