Rebirth of a Star General - Chapter 193

Chapter 193

The three Xiao Jue went into the palace with the attendant who led the way.

He Yan sat in the carriage alone. Hearing his words “Take you home”, he knew that Xiao Jue was just saying it casually, but the people who heard it felt dizzy, his head buried in his palm, a little fluttering.

She didn’t know what “home” was. Although the He family in her previous life was a family, she had never given her affection and warmth, and the Xu family was also a family, but they pushed her into the cold water of the pool. The other “He Family” in this life finally gave her some of the nostalgia and warmth of living in the world, but before things were handled, she couldn’t meet them rashly.

Thinking of this, He Yan’s joy just now gradually calmed down.

She had to think of a way to go back and see Yun Sheng and He Sui. This journey lasted more than a year, and He Sui and He Yunsheng were very concerned about them. As early as when he was in Liangzhou Wei, his identity was discovered. He Yan also secretly gave Feinu money, and begged Feinu to find a way to get Shuojing’s people to bring a message to He Sui. When I went to Jiyang and the Utuo war broke out, I forgot about it. I didn’t bring a letter to He Sui and the others for a while. He Sui and the others should be worried about it.

She had to find a way to visit Xu’s house.

Starting from He Rufei is still a bit difficult. She had to start with the Xu family. He Yan was killed. From beginning to end, Xu Zhiheng and He Rufei never showed up directly. She died in He Wanru’s hands. With Xu Zhiheng’s temperament, killing He would be like killing his mouth. Perhaps everyone present on that day could not escape the word “death”. But is there no smart person in the Xu family? Just like when Chai Anxi fell in the Mingshui battle, there might not be no fish slipping through the net in the Xu family’s yard.

That is her chance.

She had to prove that the cause of Grandma Xu’s death was different before she could shed her cocoons and reveal the biggest sinister secret of the He family.

He Yan pondered carefully about his plan to return to Shuojing in the future. Before he knew it, the sky gradually darkened. When the lantern in front of the palace was lit up, I saw a familiar shadow coming out of it.

Only Xiao Jue and Yan He came out. Without seeing Lin Shuanghe, He Yan said, “Why isn’t Brother Lin?”

“Doctor Lin is in the palace, he won’t leave for the time being.” Xiao Jue replied, and then looked at Yan He.

“Don’t look at me, I’m going back to the house now.” Yan He asked someone to lead the horse. “Chengxiu is still waiting for me at home.” He seemed to be very proud of the fact that someone was waiting for himself, “You are lonely and widowed. , Of course I don’t care about it.” After that, he turned on his horse, said “Go”, and walked away.

To be honest, He Yan used to think that Yan He was just like a cockfighter every day, but he had to compare his talents with each other, and his life was a bit too hard. Now that he saw him leaving with a smile on his face, there was a trace of envy.

It is really a pleasure to have someone waiting at home after the long journey.

She looked at the back of Yan He leaving, and she couldn’t help but Xiao Jue’s voice came in her ears: “Isn’t coming up yet?”

He Yan hurriedly retracted into the carriage.

Feinu and Chiwu were driving outside, while He Yan and Xiao Jue were sitting in the carriage. From Rundu to Shuojing, the road was very lively. Yan Nanguang, Lin Shuanghe, Xiao Jue and He Yan were all classmates in the past, and together they could make a table and play leaf cards. On weekdays, I didn’t feel noisy. At this moment, everyone dispersed. Only she and Xiao Jue were in the carriage. The atmosphere was quiet, and they felt a little uncomfortable.

“What are you nervous about?” Xiao Jue asked casually, leaning in the carriage.

He Yan almost choked on his saliva. After a long time, he suffocated, “I haven’t been to your house before, and I was empty-handed when I first visited the house. I was a little bit sad.” He Yan really thought of it and asked. Xiao Jue, “Captain, shall we wait to pass by the shop and buy some dim sum cloth as a gift to your family?”

Xiao Jue stared at her eyes and pulled the corners of her mouth, “Are you going to propose a marriage? Your first visit to the door to make a salute?”

“Don’t need it?” He Yan asked, “I haven’t been a guest in someone else’s house, and I don’t know what I’m going to do when I’m a guest for the first time.”

When doing “He Rufei” in the past, the He family was afraid of her exposure, so they didn’t even make friends, let alone go to other people’s houses as a guest. As He Yan in this life, before he had time to understand how ordinary people make friends, he went straight to the barracks.

She was so serious that she left Xiao Jue speechless for a moment, and pushed her head that came up to one side, “No need, just feel free.”

“Capital Governor, don’t you still have Grandpa Xiao and Grandma Xiao in your family?” He Yan recalled what Lin Shuanghe had said before, and said, “It is said that Grandpa Xiao is the first lover in the dream of a big Wei woman. Is that true? Rumor has it that he Treat people very mildly, never treat people harshly, gentlemen are gentle and gentle, but really?”

Xiao Jue said calmly: “Do you want to be my sister-in-law?”

“How is it possible?” He Yan immediately denied, thinking that she is not Song Taotao, and she is really not interested in another young uncle like Xiao Jue. “I’m just curious. And Grandma Xiao, how is she? How about she? He Yan hesitated, “Men are better, women, I really don’t know how to deal with women. What does she like or dislike, lively or introverted? How can I talk to her to please her?”

Xiao Jue endured, and finally calmly said: “If you please her, my eldest brother should be okay.”

He Yan let out an “Oh” and sat back in his seat, seemingly still thinking about it. Xiao Jue raised his eyebrows slightly, but He Yan had a lot of interest in “going as a guest”. That kind of excitement and tension, like the immature child who was invited to the little friend’s house for the first time, not only at a loss and afraid of making a mistake, but also faintly happy and hopeful.

He Sui had only one son and one daughter at his knees. Compared with his son, the daughter who was born with a wife who was very similar to his deceased wife was obviously more favored by this captain. The news that Luanying inquired was that He Yan used to be arrogant and arrogant, and sometimes a little admiring vanity. Although this may be the disguise of this fox, the neighbors in the neighborhood of He’s family said that He Yan still has some little sisters, even though The relationship is not very good.

But why is there such a look again.

Xiao Jue can clearly see the emotions and contradictions deep in He Yan’s heart, but he can’t see the cause of all this. He Yan always seemed to be shrouded in a thick fog, making many of her actions unexplainable. However, the more mysterious it is, the more attractive it is to get closer, otherwise… being alone in the thick fog will always make people care about it and feel particularly pitiful.

Thinking about it, the carriage stopped at the gate of Xiao’s mansion. Feinu and Chiwu got off their horses. Before Xiao Jue and He Yan got out of the car, they heard an excited voice outside: “Grandma, Young Master, Second Young Master is back——”

Immediately afterwards, a noisy sound came from the house, as if someone was coming. As soon as He Yan got out of the carriage with Xiao Jue, the door of Xiao’s family opened. A few people walked out of it. The one who walked in the front was a young couple.

The man wore a round-neck brocade robe with a blue sky and blue lake. The woman beside him is beautiful and beautiful, with attractive eyebrows, and her white skirt outlines a slim figure, like a tree of white pear blossoms, with a beautiful appearance. This is Xiao Jue’s eldest brother Xiao Jing and his wife Bai Rongwei. He Yan has also heard the names of this couple, but it is better to see them. Standing together, these two people are really pleasing to the eye.

The Xiao family is really a place of beauty, one or two of them are so beautiful. He Yan said in his heart, she stepped in, not knowing if it was a hindrance to the appearance of the Xiao family mansion.

“Huaijin, you can count as coming back.” Bai Rong smiled and said, “Your eldest brother has been reading every day one month ago, and he will be waiting in the mansion when he gets off the official office today. I am afraid that you won’t be back to Shuojing tonight. It happens to be Caught up.”

Xiao Jing laughed too. When he laughed, he revealed a pair of small tiger teeth, which made a gentle gentleman with a touch of cuteness, “It’s good to be back. Rong Wei made the food by himself, and it’s still warm. Just wait for you. Yes. Feinu and Chiwu also have some food together, and you have worked hard to take care of Huai Jin along the way.”

Feinu and Chiwu even said they didn’t dare.

Xiao Jue looked back at He Yan. He Yan was standing three steps away from him, respectful and polite. He said: “Come here.”

He Yan stepped forward according to words.

Xiao Jing and Bai Rong looked at each other slightly. They also saw clearly just now that this little boy got out of the carriage with Xiao Jue. If it was a subordinate, he probably rode out like Feinu Chiwu, and Xiao Jue himself was not a person who liked to interact with others, sharing a carriage with him would be considered very close.

Xiao Jing asked: “Huaijin, this son is…”

“My friend, He Yan.” Xiao Jue said.

He Yan saluted: “Grandpa Xiao, Madam.” After that, she couldn’t help but glanced at Xiao Jue secretly. She thought that Xiao Jue would be called a subordinate, and she never wanted to throw a friend directly. At this moment, Xiao Jing and Bai Rongwei were a little surprised.

Bai Rongwei came back to his senses and smiled: “It was Huai Jin’s friend. This is surprising. For so many years, except for Lin Gongzi, no one has seen Huai Jin bring a friend to the mansion. He is Huai Jin in Liangzhou Wei New friends in here?”

Before He Yan could answer, Xiao Jue said, “Sister-in-law, let’s go in and say.”

“…Okay.” Bai Rong smiled and gave Xiao Jing a bewildered look.

Xiao Jing replied with an expression that she didn’t understand.

Xiao Jue not only took his friend back home, but also seemed to maintain a lot of his friend. Both husband and wife became curious about He Yan’s identity. Could it be that he was so important to him? But is there such a person in Shuojing? And Xiao Jue is not a man who has a good face to the relatives of the emperor and the country.

not understand.

Several people came to the hall of Xiao’s family. He Yan and Xiao Jue went to clean their hands first. The long table is full of various dishes. He Yan and Xiao Jue sat down at the table, Feinu and Chiwu were also called by Bai Rong, and they moved two stools and sat aside.

He Yan’s heart moved when he saw it. As rumored outside, Young Master Xiao treats his servants very well. If this was in the original He family, Mrs. He would have been reprimanded for unruly.

The meals are home-cooked side dishes, not extravagant, but very delicate and delicious. He Yan was inexplicably nervous, picked up his chopsticks, and followed Xiao Jue’s movements, taking a small bite to eat.

The Xiao family does not have a rule of “no food, no words, no words”, even Xiao Jing, who seems to be gentle and generous, has become a silly chatter at the dinner table, and keeps asking how Xiao Jue has been outside this year. .

“You didn’t tell us about Jiyang before,” Bai Rong smiled. “Later, when the news came back to Shuojing, I learned that the situation was critical at that time. I knew that you were afraid of it, but in the future, don’t do anything like this. I bear it myself. After Rubi learned of this, if I hadn’t stopped him, I was really afraid that he would go to Liangzhou to find you by himself.”

Xiao Jing coughed lightly, “I also care about Huai Jin, but…” His eyes fell on He Yan, “I heard that in Jiyang, one of your subordinates also worked with you and won your majesty. Reward, isn’t it this little boy?”

“It’s right here.” He Yan replied shyly, “Thanks to the superintendent’s exaltation, I actually didn’t do anything.”

Xiao Jue said calmly: “It’s Chu Zilan who praised you, not me.”

He Yan: “…”

At this time, it doesn’t need to be so clear.

Xiao Jing smiled and shook his head as if he could see something, “Master He, Huai Jin can’t speak, don’t be angry. But it’s the first time he has brought a friend to the mansion as a guest. It shows that he really wants to befriend you.”

“I…” He Yan whispered and was about to speak.

“She is not here as a guest,” Xiao Jue interrupted her, “She is going to live here for a while.”

Xiao Jing and Bai Rong were taken aback.

“You two, I have asked someone to find a suitable house in Shuojing City, but I am afraid that it will be difficult to find a good one for a while. The superintendent is kind and willing to let me use the house for a few days. When the house is settled, I will move out immediately.” He Yan was a little embarrassed, “In the past few days, I have to disturb the eldest son and his wife.”

Bai Rong smiled and said warmly, “You don’t have to be polite, Mr. He, he is Huaijin’s friend and our friend. It’s really not easy to find a house in the city. Mr. He treats this as his own home. He can live as long as he wants. Some are just fine.”

He Yan responded gratefully. Xindao Xiao’s family also doesn’t know how to find a wife. Among the young ladies of this big family, Bai Rongwei’s temperament is really good. It seems that only people with such temperament stand together with Xiao Jing. I heard that Bai Rongwei was a concubine at home back then. When Xiao Jing’s marriage was announced, the entire Shuo Jingjing was saying that Bai Rongwei’s identity was not worthy of Xiao Jing, but from He Yan’s eyes, Xiao Jing was indeed a good-sighted person.

“Eat.” Xiao Jue said, placing the folded milk skin in front of her.

He Yan hurriedly lowered his head to eat.

Just by looking at his appearance, I really can’t tell that Xiao Jing is a talkative. After a meal, Xiao Jing is all talking about it all by himself. Asking this and that, even Xiao Jue would have to worry about how many quilts were covered in Liangzhouwei Winter, if it hadn’t been for Bai Rongwei to pull him, he would have been able to talk longer.

This is probably the feeling of “family”? He Yan looked at them with a trace of envy in his heart.

After the meal, Bai Rong got up and said, “We teach people to clean Huaijin’s house every day. We have sent someone to boil the hot water just now. After Huaijin has finished it, we will rest early tonight. It’s a hard journey. I’ll recharge my energy first, and I’ll talk about it if I have enough sleep tomorrow.” He looked at He Yan again, “There are rooms and yards in the house, but when I was halfway through the meal, I asked my servants to clean them up. The yard. Apart from the two maidservants, there is no one else in here, as Young Master He lives in peace with his heart.”

When He Yan heard this, he felt that Bai Rongwei was really considerate. Just as he was about to thank him, he heard Xiao Jue say: “No need.”

Everyone looked at him.

“If there are vacancies in my yard, she will live in my yard.” Xiao Jue said.

“Cough cough cough–” Chiwu walking behind coughed.

Bai Rongwei and Xiao Jue didn’t think of anything else, they were just a little surprised, but soon, Xiao Jing smiled and said, “If that’s the case, it’s okay. You live in a yard, and it’s convenient to discuss anything.”

The red face showed hopelessness.

Xiao Jue settled it down, of course He Yan had no reason to refute. After Bai Rongwei and Xiao Jing left, she followed Xiao Jue step by step to his yard, and whispered on the way: “The Governor, why should I have a yard with you?”

Now it’s neither in Liangzhouwei nor in Jiyang. There are so many houses, and between men and women… it’s better to pay attention to some measures.

Xiao Jue glanced at her, “Do you really want your identity to be exposed?”

He Yan was startled.

“There is no other servant in my yard.”

He Yan understood, and thought so. If you live in another yard, it’s inevitable that you won’t be negligent occasionally. If you are found out by the maidservant of the Xiao family…it’s not a good thing anyway. Live in Xiao Jue’s courtyard, and enjoy peace and quiet.

Xiao Jue’s courtyard is in the middle of the house. It is spacious and bright. It is not as elegant and simple as Yang Mingzhi’s mansion, and not as luxurious and luxurious as Cui Yuezhi’s mansion. Probably because no one has lived here for a long time, it looks a little empty and deserted. . Although the cleaning was clean, but when I walked in, although it was summer, it didn’t feel hot, but rather cool.

Passing through the flower wall is the main house. Next to the main house, there is a pomegranate tree that has already produced very small fruits. It hangs swayingly from the top, like a half-fist-sized lantern swaying, very cute.

“This is the yard where you live?” He Yan turned to look at him, “Du Governor, did you live here when you were a kid?”

She stood under the tree, with a fruit hanging on her head, like a bunch of gourds. Xiao Jue was a little funny and replied: “No, I didn’t live in the house when I was young. I live here. I am already a teenager. It’s something later.”

Xiao Jue originally lived on the mountain. He Yan also vaguely heard about this incident. It is said that Xiao Zhongwu invited celebrities to teach him civil and martial arts on the mountain. If you think about it this way, Xiao Jue is more pitiful than her. Although she can’t call her biological parents, she lives in a mansion after all. Xiao Jue is a little child. On the mountain, Xiao Zhongwu can’t go up the mountain to see him all the time. He is alone and pitiful.

He Yan wanted him to be happy. He turned his head and pointed to the lowest pomegranate and asked, “Is it possible to eat this after a while? Have you ever eaten the pomegranate on this tree? Is it sweet?”

“Do you just want to eat?” Xiao Jue raised his eyebrows, “It’s sour.”

“You must be lying to me.” He Yan disapproved, “If it is sour, you should have cut down this tree long ago, how could it stay for so long.”

Xiao Jue said, “Not everyone grows trees for food.”

“What is the difference between planting trees for eating and planting grass?” He Yan raised his head and looked at the pomegranate at the top of the tree. This pomegranate should be regarded as the biggest one on the tree. The red and full skin was faintly visible, and He Yan stretched out his hand to pull it, but the branch was too high, she jumped to pick it, but still couldn’t pick it.

The next moment, someone stood behind her, stretched out his hand, and pulled the pomegranate branch down to where she could reach.

There was a clear temperature behind him, and warm and heat came along. He Yan stiffened all over, turned around subconsciously, and almost crippled his foot. Xiao Jue grabbed his arm and pulled him up. He looked down and asked, “You are even on the road. Won’t go anymore?”

He Yan coughed loudly twice, “I am, I didn’t stand firm.”

“Aren’t you plucking it?” Xiao Jue motioned to He Yan to look at the branch that was pulled down by his hand.

“No, don’t pick it anymore.” He Yan defended, “I didn’t want to pick it, it’s not ripe yet. I will pick it when it’s ripe, it will be sweeter.”

She herself didn’t know what she was talking about upside down, she just felt that when she faced those long eyes that were as clear as autumn water, she felt nervous all over. In order to cover up, He Yan immediately turned his head and said loudly, “Which room do I live in? I want to go freshen up first.”

Xiao Jue pointed to a room, and He Yan rushed to the room non-stop, like a ghost chasing behind him. Immediately, only a “bang” was heard in the entire yard, and her door was closed.

Xiao Jue: “…”

He stood on the spot, staring at He Yan’s door, and not long after, looking at the pomegranate tree in front of him, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly, and he smiled.

In the distance, Chiwu and Feinu huddled at the gate of the yard, neither entering nor not entering. The only good thing is that as long as Xiao Jue returns to the house, all the servants in the yard will be driven out, so that you won’t see this embarrassing and overwhelming scene.

Chiwu said with a trembling voice: “They…they…”

“Don’t talk.” Feinu interrupted him.

“How could you not speak!” Chi Wu lowered his voice, unable to conceal his anger and anger on his face, “I didn’t care if I was in Jiyang and Liangzhou Wei before, but now I have returned to Shuojing… unexpectedly so blatant… surname He Is it crazy?”

Feinu hesitated to speak but stopped.

“I know that when he was in Jiyang, he dressed up as a woman enough to exchange fakes for real, but after all he was not a real woman. Now the young master and the young wife don’t know about this. What if they do?”

Feinu tried to comfort his anxious companions, “You are thinking too much about this matter, but it’s not that serious in fact.”

“What do you know!” Chi Wu said, “Young master asked us to check the surname He three days ago. It can be seen that the bottom of the surname He is not clean, otherwise why is it. If he is honest and innocent, I will also recognize it. …” At this point, Chiwu’s voice was a little choked, “If it is another purpose to approach the young master, the young master’s attention to him now… I am afraid that he will be more concerned than the dead wife of the Hanlin scholar of the Xu family! ”

Feinu couldn’t laugh or cry, but he was reminded of another thing, and whispered: “Speaking of which, the young master is back to Beijing, Luan Ying and the others should also be back. When Luan Ying comes back, we have something to be busy with. ”
