Rebirth of a Star General - Chapter 205

Chapter 205 Yuhua Temple

The second son of the Xiao family has a fiancée. His Majesty personally gave the marriage. The fiancée is a female doll disguised as a man. She has been on the battlefield with Xiao Jue. She has made outstanding achievements in battle. Now she is the first female prince since the founding of the Great Wei, Wu’an. Hou.

Overnight, the streets and lanes of Shuojing City, restaurants and tea shops all talked about the same thing. Some people say that the second son of Xiao is really extraordinary, and his fiancee looks like a powerful figure with no shame. Some people also said that he left a good Miss Shen family not to marry, but instead took an ordinary woman with no family background, or such an unruly person who showed her face. I really don’t know what to think.

No matter what outsiders say, the Xiao family is still shrouded in joy. Early in the morning of the second day, Bai Rongwei and Xiao Jing took the gifts they had packed up overnight, grabbed Xiao Jue, and went to the He family.

There is no doubt that it naturally caused a burst of onlookers in the neighborhood.

He Sui felt miserable in his heart, but said that the Xiao family came too soon, before they had time to ask Qingmei to go out to buy tea, Qingmei was helpless, so she had to pour a few cups of hot water, and the family sat in the room awkwardly. At the opposite person.

He Yan had just punched in the backyard. The Xiao family came in a hurry, and she didn’t have time to change clothes. So after Xiao Jing and the others sat down, she saw a young girl wearing strong clothes for work, with her hair tied into a bun. , Came over while wiping the sweat from his forehead.

He Yan thought it was Xiao Jue who came today. After another look, Bai Rongwei and Xiao Jing were also there. They were suddenly at a loss and looked towards Xiao Jue. Without waiting for Xiao Jue to speak, Xiao Jing said: “Master He, Miss He, it’s really rude to visit the door today. Please don’t be offended.”

“It’s okay, it’s okay.” He Sui smiled. He didn’t sleep all night last night, sitting in the yard in the middle of the night and just watching the sky for several hours, He Yan’s marriage came so suddenly, no matter how untrue. Even if it was his Majesty who gave the marriage, he was not sure in his heart. People all over the world say that Xiao Jue is a good match, but such people have never been in the same world with them.

The time he spent with Xiao Jue last night was too short, and he vaguely felt that General Feng Yun didn’t have any temperament as a young master, and he was much better than Fan Cheng. But He Sui has also heard a little about the situation in Xiao Jue’s home. Now there are no elders on Xiao Jue’s head, only his brothers and sisters. Xiao Jing was a well-known gentleman in Beijing, and Bai Rongwei didn’t understand him. However, my daughter is always afraid that she will suffer if she marries to someone else’s house. Besides, He Yan is spoiled by herself again. What if someone else’s family doesn’t spoil her like her own in the future?

He Sui didn’t want He Yan to marry a big family. Rather than being disregarded by others, it is better to marry an ordinary family and hold her in the palm of your hand.

He Sui felt bitter.

However, the attitude of the Xiao family’s brothers and sisters is a bit beyond He Sui’s expectations.

Bai Rongwei and Xiao Jing are not vain greedy people. For Xiao Jue, they finally have a sweetheart. They are simply grateful. For fear of scaring the girl away, they are naturally extremely considerate of what they can do. Regarding the two marriages, Bai Rongwei also discussed everything with He Sui. Seeing that the Xiao family was so solemn, He Sui let go of the stone in his heart.

Being valued is always a good thing.

He Yan sat on the side, and there was nowhere to put his mouth in. It’s because He Yunsheng went to the school early in the morning, otherwise he stayed in the house and didn’t know how to make things difficult for Xiao’s family.

He Sui is also observing Xiao Jue. The Xiao family’s Dafang and his wife seem to be very reliable. He Sui does not doubt how good Xiao Jue himself is, but the world is rumored that Xiao Jue is not close to female, indifferent and ruthless, I don’t know. What does He Yan think? He occasionally asked Xiao Jue about He Yan’s questions, such as what He Yan likes to eat, what he does, and how he performed in Liangzhou Guardian…

Xiao Jue answered one by one.

He Yan: “…”

She is here, like a total outsider. When this cordial meeting finally ended, He Sui tried to keep them for dinner.

“You don’t have to trouble Master He,” Bai Rong smiled. “We have to go back to the mansion first and inform relatives of the Xiao family about this. The imperial decree arrived in a hurry last night, and we didn’t have time to inform. Music is.”

“Then…I must come another day.” He Sui smiled heartily.

He Yan: “…”

They don’t have enough rice in their rice jars to make a meal, and there is only a maidservant, Qingmei, who really wants to save the meal. I’m afraid the guests are all hungry before they can serve a porridge. He Yan looked at He Sui beaming, really speechless.

He Sui sent Bai Rongwei and the others out. When the neighbors who watched the excitement outside saw He Sui, they all booed in good faith: “Oh, congratulations, Lao He, I found a good relative!”

“Lao He is really a blessing. Having a good daughter, why don’t we have such a blessing?”

“Don’t forget us when Lao He develops in the future. When He Yan was born, I even hugged her!”

He Yan said in his heart, if the real Miss He was here, listening to these jokes, I am afraid that she would have already flushed with shame. After all, the copper wall and iron wall are like her, and when she hears these words, she is a little uncomfortable.

Xiao Jue and her walked behind, and Bai Rongwei and the others seemed to leave a space for He Yan to speak. He Yan asked, “The Governor, what will you do tomorrow?”

Xiao Jue looked at her: “What?”

“I plan to go to the Yuhua Temple on the Snow Mountain to worship Buddha tomorrow.” He Yan smiled and said, “This is not Mid-Autumn Festival. I heard that the Buddha in Yuhua Temple is very spiritual. Many people go to the mountain to pray for blessings. Yun Sheng is going to school. Father is going to work. I will go alone. If you are fine, you can join me. There is always no harm in worshipping Buddha.”

She always thought that the meeting with Xiao Jue at night that year had changed her life after all. Although the final destiny always inevitably leads to a tragic ending, but before that ending, she had been taught a lot. Got some courage. This courage continued to the present, and achieved a fate with Xiao Jue. The fate is long and long, such as the red silk hanging on the ancient tree. It is discarded and trampled, but it will still be picked up by another person bending over and hanging it again in a place that cannot be broken by wind or rain.

How lucky it is.

“I’ll be fine tomorrow.” Xiao Jue curled his lips, “I can be with you.”

“Okay!” He Yan said: “Then tomorrow, I will be waiting for you at the gate of Xiao Mansion.”

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard Xiao Jue laugh, and He Yan said strangely, “What are you laughing at?”

“Miss Heda has forgotten that she is a woman again.” Xiao Jue said slowly, his eyes seemingly teased.

He Yan understood, and coughed lightly, “between you and me, you don’t have to stick to the world’s perspective.”

“You go to sleep,” he chuckled, “I will pick you up tomorrow morning.”

He Yan nodded.

…

The He family in the capital was full of joy and laughter, while the other He family had a stagnant atmosphere, and the mansion was filled with the gloom of the mountains and rain.

He Rufei “slapped” the cup in his hand against the wall.

The porcelain cup hit the corner of the wall, and the peony flower on the cup suddenly fell apart. The servant girl in the room didn’t dare to come out, and stood blankly with her head down.

Outsiders are rumored that General Feihong is hearty and generous, and he is not obsessed with trivial matters. This is natural, but occasionally in the house, He Rufei will also show the violent side of the scorpion. Even the underlings of the He family will occasionally get confused, why is that out? People are confident and majestic in front of people. The general who is as dazzling as the sun is in the mansion, sometimes gloomy like a poisonous snake in a gutter, with depression in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows.

“You all go down.” He Yuansheng stepped in the door, used his shoes to aside the debris in front of him, and told everyone to go out.

The door was closed, and He Yuansheng sat down in front of He Rufei.

“Now there are rumors everywhere outside that your technique of defeating the enemy in the Huayuan First Battle is retreating thousands of miles at night, which is very different from the previous two.” He Yuansheng took a cup of tea by himself and took a sip, “I Looking at these days, you should first say that you will not go to court for the time being.”

“Why is this?” He Rufei sneered disapprovingly: “Victory or defeat is a common matter for soldiers. It’s just a military matter, and it’s nothing.”

“Really,” He Yuansheng looked at him, “Then why have you been restless since returning to the mansion last night. Is it because of the woman named He Yan?”

He Rufei suddenly raised his head to look at him.

“She’s not He Yan.” He Yuansheng said unhurriedly: “I have sent someone to inquire about it, but she is the daughter of a school captain of the city gate. She has nothing to do with our family before. I don’t know what method was used to climb Xiao. Jue, I also sealed Hou. I just bounced back in the palace and scared you like this? Don’t forget, you are General Feihong.”

The speaker has no intention, but it is no different from irony.

He Rufei’s eyes darkened, and said, “Of course I know that I am acting like a god. It’s just this point. Just now someone publicly advertised that I was different from the past, and this woman named He Yan appeared. It’s a coincidence that she is also a girl. Isn’t it a coincidence that my father thinks it’s too coincidental for men to be appointed as an official?”

“What do you want to say?”

“The identity of the woman named He Yan couldn’t find anything wrong. She didn’t dare to calculate the He family based on her expectation. Moreover, all the insiders who knew about the matter at the beginning were killed, except for the Xu family…Xu Zhiheng was as timid as a mouse and would not take the initiative to let go. , Father, the woman named He Yan is Xiao Huaijin’s fiancée, and Xiao Huaijin was in the palace last night and maintained a lot of this woman.”

“You mean, Xiao Huaijin planned this incident alone?” He Yuansheng frowned, “The He family and the Xiao family had no grievances in the past, why did he do this?” If he could, he was not willing to be an enemy of Xiao Huaijin. Even Xu Xiang, who was in the midst of power, had nothing to do with Xiao Huaijin. What’s more, the Governor Xiao could chop off the head of the court official’s son if he didn’t agree with him, and there was nothing else he could do.

“Back when He Yan was studying at Xianchang Hall, he was classmate with Xiao Jue.” He Rufei looked deeply, “Perhaps he has already discovered the secret of He Yan’s identity. Now we have taken refuge in Xu Xiang, Xiao Huaijin and Xu Xiang have not dealt with each other, so naturally we have to clean up. Family.”

“We do things very secretly…”

“Father,” before He Yuansheng finished speaking, He Rufei interrupted him, “there is no impermeable wall in the world. Eyeliners are everywhere in the capital. The grievances between the Xiao family and the Xu family, since we have been involved. , It’s impossible to be alone.”

He Yuansheng sighed slightly.

He does things but seeks to be cautious, and it is best if all the benefits are collected and the risks are let others take the lead. There are certainly countless benefits to boarding with Xu Jingfu, but in the same way, Xiao Huaijin is watching them too, which is really a bad mood.

“We are already Xu Xiang’s people, Xiao Huaijin will not let us go. In that case,” He Rufei’s eyes were filled with killing intent, “The first is the strongest.”

He Yuansheng frowned, “You must deal with Xiao Huaijin, don’t act rashly.”

“Who said I have to deal with Xiao Huaijin?”

“what do you mean……”

“Didn’t they find a woman to pretend to be a ghost?” He Rufei spoke slowly, his eyes flashing, as if there was endless malice, “Let’s start with that woman first.”

…

He Yan didn’t expect that the appearance of Xiao’s family gave He Sui the idea of refurbishing the house. He had never thought of changing one. Part of He Yan’s previous silver was given to He Yunsheng, and part of it was used to take care of Xu’s Fuwang, and he kept a little for future use. In addition, even though he is a Hou Ye, he has no imperial courts and fields, and he was fined one year in salary.

She wanted to go to the camp outside the city to see Wang Ba and the others. If Hong Shan and the others knew that she was a woman, she would have been shocked. But I also felt that I hadn’t figured out a suitable reason for rushing forward like this, so I should wait a few more days.

Right now, first go to the Yuhua Temple on Lianxue Mountain to worship Buddha.

In the morning of the second day, He Yan got up and changed into a long skirt with a blue crab shell and dark floral pattern. Thankfully, although the He family is not rich, He Sui is still very willing to buy a skirt for Miss He. It’s just that in the past year, He Yan has grown slightly and taller. Although he is still slender, he is not as weak as before when the wind blows. He looks much healthier. Qingmei picked out a little long hair and curled it up in the back of her head, while the rest was casually draped. He Yan looked at herself in the mirror. She was not used to it, and saw that Qingmei smiled happily, “The girl still looks good in this way. When I came back, the maidservant almost didn’t know each other.”

He Yan thought to himself, now that he really doesn’t know him.

He Yan asked Qingmei to take all the jewelry in the pawn shop and sell it before. Now she couldn’t find a hairpin when she was looking for it. After looking for a hairpin in the drawer for a long time, Qingmei found out a wooden hairpin, which He Sui probably cut by herself. , They weren’t worth much money, and they weren’t pawned together at that time.

“The girl plugs this in and looks good, and Governor Xiao is happy to see it.” Qingmei muttered.

He Yunsheng and He Sui left early, but the two were extremely relieved of Xiao Jue. They stopped asking when they knew that He Yan was going to Lianxue Mountain with Xiao Jue. But maybe it’s not about Xiao Jue, it’s about He Yan. After knowing that He Yan chopped the heads of two Utuo people in Liangzhouwei, the eyes of the father and son looking at He Yan have been very different from the past. .

“Okay, okay,” He Yan touched his head, “just feel free.” He Yan grabbed the baggage on the table and smiled: “I’m leaving now!”

She didn’t ask Qingmei to follow, after all, Qingmei walked too slowly.

The appointment was at Chen Shi. He Yan didn’t know when Xiao Jue would arrive, so he opened the door first, and wanted to see if there was anyone outside. As soon as he opened it, he saw a carriage parked in front of the gate of his house, and Fei Nu was driving. Horse, the carriage curtain is half open, and Xiao Jue is reading a book while sitting on the carriage.

He Yan was startled, ran over and asked him, “When did you arrive? Why don’t you come in when you arrive?”

“Just arrived,” Xiao Jue put down the book in his hand, “I thought you were not awake yet, just wait.”

He Yan climbed onto the carriage, and Chiwu started to rush. He Yan sat down and rubbed his hands. “Have you eaten a morning meal?”

Xiao Jue took a look at her and didn’t say anything. He took out a mahogany box from the little carriage in the carriage. As soon as it was opened, it smelled like hot pastry and a cup of sweet syrup.

“How do you know I haven’t eaten yet?” He Yan was greatly moved. In the morning, Qingmei was going to comb her hair. She was already up early enough. He Yan couldn’t bear to tell her to cook for herself earlier, so she wanted to buy two steamed buns at random on the street before Xiao Jue came. , I never thought Xiao Jue should be so thoughtful.

Xiao Jue raised his eyebrows, “There is limited food in the temple, I am afraid I can’t make you full.”

Seeing that he had prepared an early meal, He Yan didn’t care about his ridicule about his own rice bucket like this. He Yan was eating and chatting with Xiao Jue, “The Governor, I heard that the Yuhua Temple on Lianxue Mountain is very spiritual. There used to be a poor man who couldn’t open the pot in his poor family. One day he went up to the mountain to chop wood, and suddenly it thundered and rained. Hiding in Yuhua Temple to take shelter from the rain. At that time, Yuhua Temple was just a ruined temple. This beggar looked at the Buddha statue and said: Buddha, Buddha, please show me a way to survive. The elderly in the family will starve to death. As a result, he When he fell asleep in the temple, he had a dream. In the dream, the Buddha told him to go home and dig a hole by the well in the yard.”

Having said that, He Yan deliberately went to see Xiao Jue’s expression. However, this person just looked at her with a smile.

He Yan almost suspected that he did not speak well. If Wang Ba was here, the custody would have been extremely nervous and asked: What happened later? What happened afterwards?

However, at the beginning of the story, it is natural to continue on.

“When this person woke up, he still remembered what happened in his dream. When he returned home, he carried a hoe at night and went to dig a hole by the well, digging and digging, and digging a bag of gold from the ground.”

“This poor man got gold, so he used it to do business. Later, he got better and better and became a wealthy local generation. After he had money, he went to Yuhua Temple again and gave the abbot of Yuhua Temple a generous incense. The money also helped repair the temple again, and the Buddha statue was also made a golden body. Later, Yuhua Temple became more and more spiritual. People say that the more incense money they donate, the more they can get what they want.”

When the story is over, He Yan finished his last sip of sweet syrup, “How about it, Governor, do you think the legend is very powerful?”

Xiao Jue is noncommittal, “Miss He’s story is not bad.”

He Yan: “…”

This story was indeed made up by her, from whose mouth she heard it, she has forgotten it, of course it is not Yuhua Temple, it is some other temple. But it was enough to bluff people, but Xiao Jue uttered it straightforwardly. He Yan simply wanted to doubt whether his ability to bluff really went backwards a thousand miles.

Seemingly in addition to her frustration, Xiao Jue said: “The abbot of Yuhua Temple is very familiar with my eldest brother.”

He Yan: “Huh?”

“So your story is too fake.”

He Yan was silent.

It is indeed a bit embarrassing to lie to someone you know. But… she looked at Xiao Jue, “Well, this temple is not Yuhua Temple, but the story is true. Governor, do you believe it, sometimes what happens in a dream may be true?”

Xiao Jue: “Dream?”

“Have you ever thought about it, maybe everything that is happening to us now, whether in Liangzhou, Jiyang, or Rundu, is actually just a dream. Wake up from the dream and you become The other person, everything he had originally was empty.” Her voice was clear, as if it contained the rest of the deep meaning, and Xiao Jue couldn’t help but glance at her.

He thought for a while, then said after a while: “It doesn’t matter if it is a dream.”

He Yan looked at him.

“Wake up from the dream, just start over again.”

He Yan was stunned, and couldn’t help but lower his head and smile.

That’s also true. It’s okay to wake up from the dream and start over again, just like when she met Xiao Jue in her previous life, and then she died, she became a general in her previous life, and also made a wedding dress for others. But Meng woke up and started all over again. She still met Xiao Jue and became He Yan on the battlefield again.

What is destined to be you, even if it is temporarily lost, will return in another way.

The moon and her sword are the same.

…

Today is fine and there are many pilgrims.

At the gate of Yuhua Temple, a carriage stopped, and a young woman helped a woman get out of the carriage. This woman is also considered beautiful in life, but she looks pale and haggard. The woman next to her is born with similar eyebrows. This is a pair of mother and daughter.

“Mother, go slowly and be careful of your feet.” He Xinying whispered.

Madam He nodded gently.

He Xinying sighed in her heart. When she left home to get married, Mrs. He’s health was no longer good, and now it’s getting worse. When she went to the He’s house to pick up her mother on the carriage and held her arm this morning, she only felt that Madam He’s slender arm could even hold her loosely-it was shocking.

“How the hell did Dad take care of you? Are the doctors in the house eating idle meals?” He Xinying was dissatisfied, “Or I will ask my husband to go to the palace and ask a doctor for you to see, mother. How can I rest assured that you are like this?”

Madam He waved her hand, “I’m fine. Don’t bother.”

He Xinying both felt distressed and helpless, and helped Madam He walk in slowly. The He family don’t like to go up the mountain to worship Buddha. Today, it is their mother and daughter who are going up the mountain today. The guards were all waiting outside the temple. He Xinying first took Mrs. He to see the temple host and presented the promised incense money.

She didn’t really want to come to worship Buddha today, but she wanted to see her mother for a reason, by the way, to talk about her discovery in Xu’s family. But now seeing Madam He’s so weak, she couldn’t say anything.

No matter, don’t worry about these things for mother. As for the doubts about Xu Zhiheng, let her find out by herself.

Anyway, it’s a long time coming, so I’m not in a hurry.
