Rebirth of a Star General - Chapter 92

Chapter 92

When He Yan was fourteen years old, he entered the Xianchang Pavilion, and when she was fifteen, she voted for the Fu Yue Army. When she joined the army in a hurry, no one knew, the teachers and guards in the Xianchang Pavilion were taken aback, and later treated her. After returning to Beijing, he had already obtained meritorious service and was granted a royal gift. Therefore, the He family did not pursue the matter why he wanted to join the army.

Now think about it, if she didn’t get the merits at the time, but was just an ordinary soldier, and returned to He’s family after a few years of living in displacement, it might not be the result now.

He Yan still remembers Song Taotao.

Fifteen-year-old He Yan, under the identity of He Rufei, went to school in Xianchang Hall. Her aptitude is mediocre, and because a girl is inherently less powerful than a man, she can’t really compare with the teenagers in Xianchang Hall. He Yuansheng gradually saw it too, but he didn’t blame her either. He Yan also thought that he could live such a peaceful life forever.

Until that day.

The Xianchang Hall has two days a month for students to go home. But because the rainy season was approaching, the rain washed all the plaques at the entrance of Xianchang Pavilion. The teacher guards asked the students to go home one day in advance and come back three days later.

No one knew that He Yan went back in a hurry. She changed her clothes first, and then went to He Yuansheng. When she returned to He’s house every month, He Yuansheng would ask him how he had been in Xianchang Hall. This kind of alienated, almost surveillance questioning doesn’t make He Yan feel warm. Every time she talks to He Yuansheng, she is actually a little nervous.

But that day, when she went, He Yuansheng hadn’t come back, and even the little servant was not there at the door. She sat and waited in He Yuansheng’s study. There was a screen in the study. He Yan felt that there was nothing to do, so it was better to sit down and read a book in front of the screen behind the screen.

She sat there for a moment when someone came in.

It was He Yuanliang’s voice. He said, “How are you thinking about He Yan?”

He Yan, who was about to go out, was stunned for a while, and immediately paused when he wanted to bypass the screen. She did not go out, but shrank back.

He Yuanliang has a different temper than He Yuansheng. He Yuansheng looked gentle, but was harsh. Later, Mrs. He gave birth to other children and treated them very harshly. He Yuanliang, her biological father had a completely different temperament, and he always smiled. Treating a few children later, it is also a spoiled pet, except for her.

He Yan’s feelings for He Yuanliang are very complicated. If she is said to be in awe of He Yuansheng for elders like her adoptive father and uncle, she brings a trace of imperceptible reliance and expectation to He Yuanliang. She hoped that He Yuanliang would treat her as kindly and affectionately as his sisters, but He Yuanliang did not. Every time I look at her eyes, as if I look at my nephew’s eyes, he is polite, at most a few words of preaching.

In this way, there were more disappointments, and He Yan didn’t force it.

But today, when he heard his name from his biological father, He Yan didn’t know why he wanted to hide here and not go out.

“She is very well now. She is studying in Hyunchang Hall and no one has noticed. She is also fifteen now… before she turns eighteen, she has to settle her marriage.”

He Yan, who was shrunk behind the screen, could not even breathe for a while.

Marriage? She had never thought about this. She is now in the identity of He Rufei, a man, how can she make a marriage? Once you book a pro, what should He Rufei do? Who will do this “He Rufei”?

She took it for granted. She was a woman, so she was married to a man. After all, she was not as good as a mirror. However, what He Yuanliang said next surprised her.

“Brother, have you seen a suitable girl in the capital?”

girl?

How could it be a girl?

He Yan raised his head. The two people outside the screen were facing her back. They couldn’t see their expressions clearly. He only listened to their tone of voice. They were calm, and didn’t feel how shocking what he said.

“The deputy chief of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Song Ci, has two daughters. The eldest daughter is married, and the younger daughter is now eleven years old.” He Yuansheng said, “He is a little bit younger when he is 18 years old. After waiting for two years, you can get married.”

“Song Ci’s daughter?” He Yuanliang hesitated, “Is that the little girl named Song Taotao? I remember that Song Ci was looking for her daughter’s birthday gift the year before, and in the future the entire merchants of Shuojing will look through it.”

“Yes,” He Yuansheng said with a smile: “There are no young boys in Song Ci’s mansion, only two daughters. Now the eldest daughter is married, so she is particularly doting on the young girls. If you can get married with the Song family, you will have the help of the Song family. Worry about whether our house is flourishing?”

He Yuanliang also slowed down his expression when he heard the words, saying: “Big brother is right. It’s better to be an affair in a few days and host Song Ci to the mansion, so that I can talk about the children. At least, first. Let him know that we have this idea.”

The two of them talked happily, as if the marriage was just a deal, and that was all. Nowadays, in the rich and powerful houses, most of the women are the counterweights to the marriage. But it’s nothing more than to treat her as a weight. How can you ignore her identity?

She is a woman! How can a woman marry a woman? If we really get married, wouldn’t it still harm the girl’s life?

He Yan thought this way in his heart, unexpectedly touching the screen and making a noise. He Yuansheng turned his head and shouted, “Who?”

Seeing that he was discovered, He Yan simply stood up and said, “It’s me.”

“He Yan?” He Yuansheng breathed a sigh of relief, then frowned, and said, “Why are you here? Shouldn’t you be in Xianchang Hall today?”

“Shibao asked us to leave school one day in advance. I’m here to find my father.” He Yan said here, paused, and took a peek at He Yuanliang. He Yuanliang showed his usual smile, his expression has not changed because he called He Yuansheng “father”.

It’s just another disappointment, so why not give up. He Yan lowered his head to cover the loss in his eyes.

“I have something to discuss with your second uncle now. You will come to me later.” He Yuansheng said, “Let’s go see your mother first.”

He Yan didn’t move.

“He Yan?” He Yuansheng frowned again.

“I have heard what my father and second uncle just said.” He Yan raised his head, his voice calm, “Father, I am a woman, how can I marry the second lady of the Song family?”

Unexpectedly, He Yan would actually speak this way, and the two brothers of the He family were stunned for a while.

“These are not things you should take care of,” He Yuansheng replied after a long while, “I will arrange everything for you.”

“I won’t marry the second lady of the Song family. As a woman, it’s enough to sacrifice one of me. You don’t need to involve unrelated people anymore.” He Yan said.

She is now fifteen years old, a little taller than before, and dressed as a teenager, with clear and open eyes, standing here, like a poplar, like a stranger.

He Yuan furiously said: “What do you mean by this? Are you complaining about us? Are you blaming us for sacrificing your right to be a woman?”

He Yuanliang looked at her with a smile, “He Yan, how can you talk to Big Brother like this? Big Brother is all for your own good.”

He Yan thought, is this really for her? She went to school in Xianchang Hall, and her husband taught her “compassion, benevolence; shame, righteousness; resignation, etiquette; right and wrong, wisdom.” But what the He Family wants her to do now is to ask her to be unscrupulous and impolite. How ridiculous?

He Yan was not afraid, and replied loudly: “I will never agree to be married to Miss Song Family! Not only that, I will not marry any woman in this life, which will delay the lives of others!”

He Yuansheng and He Yuanliang were dumbfounded.

He’s family all know what temperament He Yan is. She is gentle and easy to talk, even a little timid and cowardly. In the He family, she does what she tells her to do, and she doesn’t like to cause trouble. If it hadn’t been the mistake of changing identities, she would be like all mediocre official ladies in Shuojing, reticent, well-behaved, and lived a life like a puppet.

But what is she like now?

“He Yan, do you dare to talk to me like this?” He Yuansheng was really angry. When he was angry, his facial features were very fierce, and the children in the He family’s big room were very afraid of him.

He Yan looked at him and was unmoved, “My father sent me to Xianchang Hall to study, to show etiquette and to know virtue, not to be a liar for profit.”

The young man held his head high, proud, clear, and Fang Jie. It was probably the contempt in her eyes that stung He Yuansheng. He Yuansheng became angry and slapped He Yan fiercely with a slap in the face.

That was the first time He Yan was beaten by He Yuansheng.

And her biological father was watching and didn’t say anything. The sentence from the beginning to the end was “Big Brother is also for your own good.”

The quarrel between He Yuansheng and He Yan shocked the entire He family. As the highest authority of the He family, He Yuansheng, no one would doubt his decision. He Yan was kept in the ancestral hall for a day and night, and was released the next night.

No one had visited her during this day and night. Whether it is her adoptive father or mother, or her biological father and mother. During this day and night, He Yan looked at the large and small memorial tablets up and down the ancestral hall, with only one question in mind.

What kind of family is the He Family? Does she really want to stay in the He family? If in this family, the meaning of her existence is to be a substitute to tie down the interests that do not belong to them. If there is no real heart, she is here, there is really no place to nostalgia.

A puppet also wants to break free from the thread and dominate his life.

The next night, she returned to her house, and the room was deserted. He Yan remembered that the Fuyue Army was conscripting in the street these few days. She sat on the couch and thought, if someone came to see her tonight and asked her if she was okay, she would not leave.

But it hasn’t.

There was a voice calling from a distance, and He Yan carried the burden on his body, and sneaked out the door in the dark. For so many years, since she started practicing martial arts on her own, she has been so familiar with it. It was precisely because the He Family didn’t value her, even when she left, she was so relaxed.

No matter, she thought, although she could not continue to stay in the He family, after all she saved a little girl in Shuojingli. She is not here, how does the He family make an appointment? That girl named Song Taotao, in the future, Xu Neng will stay with a young boy who is in love with him for life, instead of being implicated in this shameful plan and becoming a sacrificed pawn.

The night was heavy and she couldn’t see her head. The girl who was pretending to be a teenager didn’t know what the way forward. She looked back at the door of the He family. The house was hidden in the night and connected to the past. She was cruel and turned around. Walked forward like this and never looked back.

The past was laid out in front of the eyes, as if blowing away the dust covered over it, and it gradually became clear that it happened yesterday. Only He Yan knew that it was a previous life that he could never go back to.

She was young and angry at that time. She was angry and the ridiculous decision of the He Yuansheng brothers. She hadn’t thought about it seriously. As a woman, if she really married Miss Song Er, this secret would be revealed sooner or later. What about the He family? Will this be allowed to happen?

Unless, they had long expected that such a thing would never happen.

He Yan stared at the sachet hanging on the bed net.

He Yuansheng and He Yuanliang knew that He Rufei would return sooner or later. He Yan had no way of knowing He Rufei’s situation, but when he wanted to come, He Yuansheng had already known that He Rufei’s body had gradually recovered, and it was definitely not like what they said was dying.

It was precisely because he knew that He Rufei would return sooner or later, and that He Yan and He Rufei would each return to their original places sooner or later, that’s why he talked about the marriage without any scruples. They had already made up their minds when they wanted to come. Before He Rufei got married, He Yan would take off the man’s clothes and be the Miss He family again.

At that time, He Yan didn’t realize this. She thought that she would be He Rufei for a long time, perhaps she would sacrifice her life for it, but she didn’t expect Xu to be herself again one day. But this is not a gift. If you have been a stand-in for a long time, you will inevitably forget who you are.

Moreover, she left the He family with a burden on her back that day and voted for the Fu Yue army. Since then, she has disrupted the He family’s layout, and the chess game has long been out of control.

Who can think of it?

Who would have thought that she lived a lifetime, died once, then woke up and wandered around, unexpectedly here, she met a girl who almost “made a marriage” with her in her previous life. The eleven-year-old girl had grown into a slender lady, and the boy who left home with a burden on his back had already tasted everything in the world. Destiny is mysterious. If there was no Song Taotao back then, she would not leave home, would not join the army, and there would be no later General Feihong, He Yan today.

In the darkness, He Yan smiled silently.

Fate made them meet here, perhaps just to explain one thing to her.

She did nothing wrong, she saved a girl.

…

When He Yan woke up the next morning, Feinu was no longer in the room.

She thought about things late last night, and slept deeply, not even knowing when Feinu left. After she woke up to freshen up, she went out, thinking about going to the next door and knocking on the door to see if Xiao Jue was there.

As soon as he knocked, the door next to him opened, and Song Taotao’s head came out from behind the door. She said, “Are you looking for Young Master Xiao? They are eating downstairs.”

Don’t call her for dinner? He Yan said in his heart, this really didn’t treat her as his own. He Yan asked, “Have you eaten? Let’s go down and eat together.”

Song Taotao nodded.

The little girl went downstairs with her, and she saw Xiao Jue and Feinu sitting downstairs by the window with some small dishes on the table. I don’t know if I was shocked by Xiao Jue’s identity last night. The innkeeper made this breakfast with extra care. He Yan wanted to curse extravagantly when he saw it.

“Uncle, why don’t you call me for dinner.” He Yan muttered, “If you don’t call me, why don’t you call Miss Song?”

“It’s because I want to sleep more, it doesn’t matter to the second son of Xiao.” Song Taotao said quickly, for some reason, she seemed to be a little afraid of Xiao Jue. But I think that too, Xiao Jue Chengri said coldly, who can bear the Jiao Didi little girl?

He Yan picked up a single cage of golden milk crisp and stuffed it into her mouth. The milk crisp was fragrant and sweet. Not long after it came out of the cage, it was so hot and appetizing. She smiled and said, “Uncle, what are we doing today?”

Xiao Jue looked at her with a faint smile, “What do you want to do?”

“I…” Song Taotao spoke before He Yan finished speaking.

“Cheng…Cheng Lisu.” She already knew that He Yan was not Cheng Lisu, but she also saw that He Yan is now playing “Cheng Lisu”, so she didn’t reveal it. Following the name of Cheng Lisu, she said: “Can you go out with me?”

After saying this, the other three people on the table looked at Song Taotao.

“I… I don’t have any clothes anymore. I really can’t wear this man’s clothes. I want to go out and buy two ready-to-wear clothes for a change, but I don’t remember the way. Mr. Cheng, can you accompany me to go out and buy some? Something?” She plucked up the courage to finish.

With the three people on this table, Feinu couldn’t say a word all night, and Xiao Jue was not a person who could accompany the girl to buy things. Only He Yan was kind and gentle. He Yan said, “Of course! It’s just…” She looked at Xiao Jue, “Uncle, what do we have today?”

“Nothing.” Xiao Jue lowered his eyes and said calmly: “You can go with Miss Song Er.”

“Thank you Young Master Xiao!” Song Taotao was overjoyed.

After eating, He Yan went out with Song Taotao. After the two of them left, Feinu said, “Master, your subordinates will follow them now.”

“Don’t get too close.” Xiao Jue ordered, “He also brought Song Taotao.”

Feinu responded, and was about to leave, suddenly remembering something, he hesitated, and still said, “Master, that’s the matter with Sun Ling?”

“Who said it?” Xiao Jue hooked his lips. “Wait, it’s not the time yet.”

…

He Yan followed Song Taotao out of the inn.

As soon as he left the second son of Xiao Er, Song Taotao was obviously more cheerful. She approached He Yan and whispered, “Why are you called Uncle Xiao Er Gongzi? Why do you call yourself Cheng Lisu?”

“This is a long story. Young Master Cheng has something to do, so I won’t come to Liangzhou for the time being, so I’m here for him. Don’t tell anyone about it.”

Song Taotao said: “Of course I won’t tell anyone! That trash boy must have been unable to do it by himself, so I let you replace him? This kind of person still wants to be my husband, why doesn’t he dream!”

Miss Song Er’s prejudice against Cheng Lisu is really deep.

“Then what’s your name?” Song Taotao asked.

“I can’t tell you right now, I’ll tell you about it. I’ll tell you when the things in the city are over.” He Yan smiled.

Song Taotao curled his lips, not very happy, He Yan pointed to a clothing store, “Look, there are clothes there, why don’t you go in and pick one?”

Song Taotao turned his mind, and He Yan breathed a sigh of relief. However, it didn’t take long for this tone to relax, when suddenly thinking of something, he secretly said that it was bad.

When He Yan came out of Liangzhouwei, Cheng Lisu gave her clothes and hairpin jewelry, but forgot to give her silver. He Yan didn’t dare to ask Xiao Jue for it, so that she only had one silver coin that was the same for the flag. She has been reluctant to put it on her body, preferring to change the button of Cheng Lisu’s clothes for tea and drinking instead of touching it. Song Taotao just came out of Wanhua Pavilion, and he was completely tangled up and raided. Where there is money, I’m afraid He Yan will have to pay for everything he buys today.

This is all her belongings now!

Fortunately, Liangzhou City is not Shuojing, and there is no such kind of tailor shop with tens of hundreds of taels of silver. The ready-made clothes here are cheap, and He Yan can’t afford it. Song Taotao picked one, and then picked a pair of shoes, a hairpin, and a pair of earrings. He Yan couldn’t help but pay for the silver. For this payment, there was only the usual copper.

Song Taotao picked up his clothes, and then changed them inside before coming out. When this came out, the little boy who was originally carved and jade turned into a charming little girl in a short time. She picked a cherry-red fairy dress, her long hair was tied in a flat bun, and her headband was also cherry-red, bright eyes and white teeth, and Shanshan was lovely.

He Yan’s eyes lit up. In an instant, the distress of spending money disappeared in front of the cute girl.

“It’s so beautiful.” She praised it heartily.

Song Taotao blushed, turned his head, and muttered: “The clothes here are too shabby, there are no good clothes. The clothes made by the tailor of Song Palace are much better than this!”

He Yan said in his heart, is this still shabby? This has already spent her savings over the past six months!

After wrapping the original clothes in a bag, Song Taotao walked out of the clothing store, “Let’s go shopping elsewhere.”

He Yan: “…good.”

The beauty of the little girl also costs money, especially for the little girl raised by the parents of such wealthy people. He Yan only hopes that Liangzhou won’t have anything to attract Miss Song Er’s attention. She has no money.

God seemed to hear her voice, Song Taotao had nothing to buy along the way. But I am still excited when I visit Liangzhou City. He Yan has been doing her best to accompany her, and she was not bored at all. In the end, the arrogant little girl was a little embarrassed, and asked He Yan, “You have been with me for so long? Will it be a little boring?”

“No.” He Yan smiled: “I just want to take a stroll, too.”

Song Taotao looked at her for a long while and said, “You are such a good person.”

He Yan was a little surprised when she said that, the little girl had already moved on. She thought about it, shook her head and smiled.

For Song Taotao, He Yan’s feelings were not only for caring for the little girl, but also a kind of pampering that was almost like an elder. After all, this girl almost became her “fiancee.” It was the person she had to fulfill at the time she left home, and in a way, it was considered to have changed her destiny. In the following years, Song Taotao has not been involved in the inexplicable things, and has grown up well.

He Yan felt very fortunate, if she hadn’t done that in the first place. Maybe Song Taotao wouldn’t get married with a woman later, but those who got married became He Rufei. Is it really a good thing to marry into the He family? This family has no warmth and only benefits, and it is really not suitable for a little girl like Song Taotao.

However, He Yan looked at the back of the little girl jumping in front of her, feeling a little helpless. When she left home, she was considered a “fleeing marriage.” Now Cheng Lisu is also running away, and Song Taotao is still running away. Is this going to be a bargain with escaped marriage?

She has to have a good talk with Cheng Lisu.

…

The Sun’s residence in Liangzhou City, the upper and lower residences were all bleak.

Sun Ling was sent back to Sun’s house last night, and Sun Xiangfu called in famous doctors to treat Sun Ling’s injuries overnight. Although they are all skin and flesh wounds, they are really not light, and they have to be raised for a few months.

Young Master Sun has suffered such a big loss since he was a child. Sun Xiangfu was also in a bad mood. Early this morning, he punished several servants for following wrongdoings.

The lower people dare not take a wrong step, the house is quiet. Sun Ling was lying on the bed, and Madam Sun was sitting on the edge of the bed, wiping tears, and said bitterly: “Your father is too much. He is just a military commander. How can he beat you like this? My son has suffered. Isn’t this hurt? I know when to raise it…”

Sun Xiangfu heard this as soon as he came in, and said angrily: “Women’s opinion! What does it mean to be’just a military commander’? You know that he even dared to kill the eldest son of Hubu Shangshu, and Hubu Shangshu even stabbed him. The emperor followed, what happened in the end? In the end, he had to admit that he was unlucky! If he killed this unfilial son last night, what do you think you can do? Nothing!”

Madam Sun was dumbfounded by the scolding, and it took a long while to panic and said: “He, he is so powerful? What shall we do now? Is it to apologize to him?”

“You go out.” Sun Xiangfu felt bored and waved his hand, “I will arrange these for myself. I came here to ask Ling’er a few things.”

Madam Sun walked away whimpering with tears. Sun Xiangfu walked to Sun Ling and looked at Sun Ling’s pale face, both distressed and angry, and said, “You said it’s not good for you to provoke, but you provoke the Hades.”

“I… didn’t provoke him. It was his nephew who deceived people too much.” Sun Ling mentioned this, so he didn’t fight with anger, telling the truth about what happened last night, and finally said: “How am I? Know that Cheng Lisu will suddenly make a move?”

“That book boy, is it the woman you like?” Sun Xiangfu asked.

Sun Ling shook his head: “I don’t know either. Before I can see my face, the surname Xiao is here.”

“It’s okay if it’s just a misunderstanding. If it’s really this woman, since Cheng Lisu will protect him, it will inevitably be prejudiced against you.” Sun Xiangfu sighed, “It’s me who is not good. I didn’t bring Xiao Jue and the others to the city. Tell you in advance, otherwise it won’t be such a situation.”

Sun Ling never cared about political affairs, he only knew about eating, drinking, and gambling. Therefore, he did not know that Sun Xiangfu posted a post to Xiao Jue.

“Father, we have offended them. They won’t trouble us later.” Sun Ling was a little worried.

He is lawless in Liangzhou city, but he is relying on a county magistrate. But last night, the appearance of Sun Xiangfu bursting into tears in front of Xiao Jue made Sun Ling understand that Xiao Jue is not a figure that the Sun family can afford.

“Don’t be afraid,” Sun Xiangfu said: “In a few days, Master Yuan, the supervisory official, will be here. Master Yuan is Xu Xiang’s person. Xu Xiang and Xiao Jue have never been at peace. Maybe we can do something here. .”
