Rebirth of a Star General - Chapter 93

Chapter 93

He Yan accompanied Song Taotao until the evening before heading to the inn.

There was a candied haws seller on the road, and there was a red candied haws stuck in the grass man, and it seemed sweet to look at. He Yan took out the last few copper plates, bought a few bunches with the vendor, and handed the largest bunch to Song Taotao: “Are you hungry? Let’s eat some of this padding for the stomach. When we return to the inn, we will have some good food. .”

I’m sorry, she’s been thinking about what should Song Taotao do if she doesn’t have enough money if she wants to eat in the restaurant? Fortunately, the girl was too full about the morning, and the little girl was picky. She didn’t want to eat anything all the way. She just sat down and drank a few cups of tea, ate two cakes, and used a few copper plates.

Song Taotao took the candied haws and looked at He Yan: “Thanks for your hard work today.” After a pause, she said again: “Actually, Liangzhou City is not good for shopping at all, and everything is average. If it weren’t for hiding from Xiao Er Son, I won’t let you stay with me so late.”

“Huh?” He Yan also took a bunch of candied haws, bit one in his mouth, the hawthorn was sour and astringent, the honey was sweet and sour, and the sweetness and sour together, it was a tongue-in-cheek, He Yan sighed for a long time. Eat such a childish thing. She asked: “Why? Don’t you like Governor Xiao?”

“It’s not that I don’t like it, but… I’m a little scared.” The little girl flattened her mouth. “It seems that everyone will become very inferior in front of him.”

He Yan was happy when he heard the words, low self-esteem? Song Taotao is so young because of his young age. He Yan smiled and said, “But he looks good and powerful, don’t little girls like this?”

When he was a teenager, many girls secretly came to see Xiao Jue at the daily entrance of Xianchang Hall. He Yan hadn’t seen a girl who didn’t like him. Song Taotao was so special.

“I’m different from them.” Song Taotao snorted softly. “They only know to look at the outer skin, but people who are so cold don’t speak sweet words and live a very bad life. I don’t like this, I like it. Gentle,” she sighed as she said, regrettingly said: “Daddy Xiao is like that, but it’s a pity that he has already married a wife.”

He Yan almost choked with a hawthorn in his mouth.

What? Xiao Jue still wants to be the uncle of his nephew and daughter-in-law, but he does not know that what he wants in his heart is to be his sister-in-law!

Song Taotao deserves to be the one who almost became her “little fiancée”, it looks so different from person to person. He Yan said: “In fact, Governor Xiao is still very gentle sometimes…but he doesn’t like many people like you.” She moved in her heart and wanted to get something out of Song Taotao’s mouth. Asked, “Do you know that General Feihong, who is now as famous as him, have you seen him?”

“General Feihong?” Song Taotao said, “You are talking about the eldest son of the He family? The one who said before that he had injuries on his face and couldn’t see people. Chengri wore a mask and pretended to be?”

He Yan: “…”

“It is rare for him to wear a mask for ten years. I saw him before he escaped from marriage. He had already taken off the mask at that time and looked good. Do you know why he wears a mask?” Song Taotao asked.

He Yan: “Why?”

“Naturally, I found a gimmick for myself. You think, he didn’t take off his mask long ago, he didn’t take off the mask later, but he took it off before his majesty gave the seal and the face saint. It is said that he has to get the help of a genius to heal the scars on his face. Those who are healed by the gods can’t even see a scar? Everyone knows that Young Master He is ugly and terrifying, and suddenly he took off his mask. This is so bizarre, so his original five-point appearance has changed. Seven points.”

He Yan couldn’t help applauding Song Taotao in her heart, saying it made sense, if it wasn’t for her or the masked person, she would almost believe that what Song Taotao said was true.

“Then how do you think General Feihong compares with Governor Xiao?”

Song Taotao replied without thinking, “Of course it is the second son of Xiao, the son of the He family is not as good-looking as the second son of Xiao!”

Okay, in this world, people are still judged by their appearance.

He Yan suddenly said: “I haven’t met General Feihong. I still have the same surname as him. I have always wanted to see him with my own eyes. I wonder if there is a chance in this life?”

“Of course there is a chance, but that Prince Heda is now very important to the saints. Before I left Beijing, His Majesty often called him into the palace. Before his cousin passed away, Prince Heda did not go to court for a few days. Quite a few things.”

He Yan’s smile was somewhat reluctant: “What you said, but Grandma Xu?”

“Is she married to someone surnamed Xu? I don’t know too well. I don’t know what her name is. This elder sister was not in Shuojing before. Very few people know her in the capital, and no one knows her well. Sister. I knew it was General Feihong’s younger sister. She had only been married for a year, and she was blinded by a strange disease. After she was blind, she wandered around in the mansion. The servant didn’t pay attention and fell into the pond and drowned.” Song Taotao sighed. “It’s really pitiful. It’s obvious that there is an older brother named General Feihong who is the backer, so he won’t be too bad, he can only say that his life is hard. What is her name, what is it? Hey, I really can’t remember.”

He Yan said in his heart, her name is He Yan. Unfortunately, this name is destined to be submerged under the name of General Feihong He Rufei. What the world knows is that she was born weak and was sent to Zhuangzi to raise her. , The sister of General Feihong. No one remembers her name.

“What about Uncle Xu?” He Yan asked, “What happened to Grandma Xu after he died?”

“I’m in the house on weekdays and I don’t like to listen to these things. I vaguely remember that the sisters mentioned that the husband of Miss He was very depressed for a while after the death of Miss He Jia. It is true. But this kind of thing , Who knows,” Song Taotao has a kind of transparency beyond age when it comes to this kind of thing, she said: “When can you take a man’s words seriously? Maybe you still remember today, and tomorrow you will welcome the newcomer into the house. .”

He Yan smiled bitterly: “What you said makes perfect sense.”

“Why are you asking me this suddenly?” Song Taotao said, “But I really don’t know much. If you really want to know, you should ask Second Young Master Xiao. They are both military commanders. They are colleagues, and they should know more than me. ”

He Yan thought, isn’t that afraid of Xiao Jue’s suspicion? At the moment, she is no longer considered her own. If you inquire about the He family, Xiao Jue is afraid that she will be able to find out everything about her. Don’t want to find out what the woman is, and if you don’t even have to stay in the barracks, you will lose more than the gains.

The time to speak has reached the entrance of the inn. He Yan and Song Taotao went upstairs. Song Taotao said, “Thank you so much for today. I will go in and change clothes and rest for a while, and wait for you to accompany me to eat.”

He Yan smiled and said, “Okay.”

Although this girl has the habit of a eldest lady and loves to give orders, it is not annoying. After He Yan waited for her to leave, he didn’t return to the room, and knocked on the door next door.

Today was fine, someone in the room responded: “Come in.”

As soon as He Yan entered, he saw Xiao Jue sitting at the table. He was using the white silk to wipe the guqin in front of him, and He Yan fixed his eyes to see that it was Wan Xiangqin who had been crushed by her.

“Capital Governor, has this piano been repaired? Isn’t it broken?” He Yan leaned over and asked in a low voice.

Xiao Jue said lazily: “What’s the matter?” He didn’t want to talk more with her.

He Yan took out his back from behind: “Look! I went out today to bring you a gift! Although I was shopping with Miss Song, I still miss you in my heart. This candied haws will give you a gift!”

Xiao Jue glanced at the candied haws in her hand: “Take it.”

So unreasonable, He Yan said: “Don’t, I have tasted it, it’s sweet!”

“I don’t eat sweets.” He said indifferently.

He Yan looked at him, slandering in his heart, what to pretend. When they were in Xianchang Hall together, this person carried a small sachet with him. The boy who was close to him at that time grabbed it, and he guarded it tightly. He Yan thought it was something incredible, but only later discovered that it was a bag of sweet-scented sweet-scented osmanthus.

He goes home two days a month, and when he comes to Xianchang Pavilion again, the sachet is bulging again. A person who used sweet-scented osmanthus candy when he was a teenager, now tells her that he doesn’t eat sweets. Is this person afraid that he is disgusting that he bought it with two copper plates?

“If you don’t eat it, give it to Brother Feinu.” He Yan inserted the candied haws into the pen holder on the table, and the conversation turned, his expression softened again, and he said with a flattering smile: “The Governor, I still have something to think about. Discuss with you.”

Xiao Jue looked at her with no waves in his eyes.

He Yan brazenly continued: “I will accompany Miss Song out today. Miss Song is going to buy clothes and jewelry, and the silver she had won before the flag has been spent. I think Miss Song is your nephew and daughter-in-law, your relative. I buy things for your relatives. Although I shouldn’t pay this money, I’m very sincere to the governor. How can I make the governor spend money? That’s… I don’t have any money now. If Miss Song wants to buy something, can you? Can’t you give me some silver? I have no money when I go out to buy things, so I can’t lose your face, right? Uncle? Uncle?”

The young man smiled extraordinarily flattering, his eyes gleaming brightly, like a fox cub that he had hunted in his youth. Obviously they can bite people, but when begging for food from people, they are extraordinarily well-behaved and docile in casual clothes.

Xiao Jue looked at her coldly, unmoved.

He Yan asked, “Can you do it?”

The man answered very ruthlessly: “No.”

“…Really not?” She was still unwilling to herself.

“no.”

He Yan straightened up and stared at him bitterly. When she joined the army in her previous life, she had heard people say that the moment when a person truly grows up, it starts with borrowing money. He Yan now thinks so deeply, she is so humbled, Xiao Jue is so rich, he didn’t give it at all, he was deliberately targeting himself!

Xiao Jue raised his head, looked calm, and mocked: “I still remember that I am not your uncle, did you forget that Song Taotao is Cheng Lisu’s fiancee, not yours.”

He Yan thought about this for a while before she figured it out. She said, “You don’t think I’m treating Miss Song…”

Xiao Jue looked down and continued to wipe the piano body, “I hope you still remember who you are.”

He Yan almost yelled in his heart, and see if it was human words? Xiao Jue, is this afraid of stealing Cheng Lisu’s fiancee? A joke, if she hadn’t taken the initiative to leave home, where did Cheng Lisu come from? Also, Xiao Jue wants to be his uncle, do you know that the little girl wants to be his sister-in-law? People’s histories are not here, what does he know?

He Yan was angry in her heart, and she smiled and said without a smile: “Of course I remember who I am. I am He Yan who won the first place in Liangzhou Wei’s battle.” She bit the word “first”. She was very heavy, and said: “The governor is not willing to give money, so it’s fine.” She turned to leave, suddenly remembering something, turned around suddenly, grabbed the candied haws on the table, “the governor doesn’t like sweets anyway, this candied haws, I’ll take it and eat it myself.”

She took a big bite as if she was venting her anger, chewing “crunchy” as she walked out, and said vaguely: “What kind of right army captain is just a stubborn iron cock…”

Xiao Jue: “…”

Feinu from outside heard such a sentence just when he came in. Looking at He Yan’s back, he turned around and closed the door somewhat puzzled.

Xiao Jue looked up at him.

“Master, he…”

“Nothing,” Xiao Jue interrupted him, “Are there any gains today?”

Feinu shook his head: “He Yan has been with Ms. Song Er all the time. He didn’t do anything that day. He just went shopping and drinking tea on the side of the street. He has never seen anyone.”

Xiao Jue nodded: “I see.”

“Is it possible that the person with whom he is responding is not from Liangzhou City?” Feinu asked, “I always think this He Yan is a bit strange.”

The skill is different from ordinary people, let alone the fact that it is obviously a recruit who knows the formation, but it has not been caught. It can be seen that his attitude towards Xiao Jue is really bold. Ordinary people… won’t be like this, right?

“He is by my side, so he won’t make any mistakes. Tell Chiwu and let him come here to pick up people.”

“Young Master wants Chiwu to accompany Miss Song?” Feinu asked.

Xiao Jue nodded: “Yuan Baozhen is coming to Liangzhou, Song Taotao is not suitable for traveling. There will be no good meetings, no good banquets,” he said lightly, “We must be fully prepared.”

Feinu responded: “Subordinates understand.”

…

The next few days were very pleasant.

About the first day of shopping for too long, Song Taotao’s hand injury was not completely healed, and he was too lazy to get out of the door these few days. Xiao Jue and Feinu were often absent during the day, so He Yan could not leave Song Taotao alone in the inn, so he could only accompany them.

The little girl was so coaxing, and she was so serious about talking to her about some strange things that she had encountered in the past when she was in the army. Feeling tired of listening to eat something downstairs at the inn, the day passed. He Yan himself wanted to go out with Xiao Jue and the others, and asked for some news by the way. However, she was not taken with her at all. It was obvious that she was xenophobic. After several times of coming down, He Yan was also a self-knowing person and didn’t bother to move forward.

This trip to Liangzhou is really not a good deal. The only hope was the supervisor Yuan Baozhen. He Yan had never expected such a person to come. Fortunately, three days later, the Master Yuan finally arrived in Liangzhou City.

This morning, Feinu brought a person over.

This is also a young man dressed as a guard, named Chiwu, who should also be Xiao Jue’s confidant. He came here to take Song Taotao away.

“You can’t stay here for the time being, Chiwu will send you to a safe place. Liangzhou is up, I will pick you up again.” Xiao Jue said.

Song Taotao looked at He Yan: “Then… won’t Mr. Cheng be with me?”

The gazes of several other people suddenly turned towards He Yan, especially Xiao Jue, whose eyes were extremely cold. He Yan instantly understood the meaning of “handling your own troubles by yourself”.

She had no choice but to stand up and smile at Song Taotao: “I’m going to do something with Second Young Master Xiao, and I can’t accompany you for the time being. Don’t worry, this… Brother Chiwu will protect you.”

“What is it, is it dangerous?” Song Taotao asked again.

He Yan was embarrassed and moved a little. The child didn’t hurt for nothing, and she knew to ask her if it was dangerous. She smiled and said, “There is Second Young Master Xiao, it’s not dangerous or dangerous, don’t worry.”

“Then you must be careful.” After Song Taotao told her, he turned his head one step at a time and left.

He Yan turned her head and met Xiao Jue’s mocking gaze. She said, “I really didn’t do anything…”

Xiao Jue turned and left, and He Yan hurriedly chased after him, “Uncle, don’t worry, although Miss Song only asked me if I was safe, she didn’t ask you. It’s definitely not because you think you are too cold to approach, but I am kind and gentle. It’s likable, don’t take it to heart!”

“Shut up.” Xiao Jue stopped, looked at her from head to toe with his scrutiny gaze, and said: “You are thinking of nonsense, so it is better to think about how you can not wear a gang at a dinner party. Cheng Lisu is also right no matter what. The young master at Shizhilang’s mansion, and you,” he glanced at her meaningfully, “Is it pretending to look like?”

After putting down these words, he left without looking back. He Yan was stunned for a moment before realizing that this person was laughing at her again. She shouted at Xiao Jue’s back: “What’s wrong with Youjizhilang!”

After all, she is also a young master from the He family, who is not an official anymore! She has pretended to be the young master of a big family for so many years, why can’t she pretend? Tonight I have to make Xiao Jue impressed.

…

At the gate of Liangzhou, a carriage is particularly conspicuous among the crowd.

The carriage is very beautifully decorated. Only the outer part of it is embroidered with excellent embroidery, embroidered with large pictures of mountains and rivers. There is also a white crane in the grass. The eyes of the white crane are actually made of black crystals, which is especially delicate and interesting.

Someone lifted the carriage curtain and looked out, but in a moment, the carriage curtain was lowered.

Yuan Baozhen covered his nose with a handkerchief, and said: “This Liangzhou city, the wind and sand is really big, it’s far behind the capital.”

He is now in his forties, and in fact he is about the same age as Sun Xiangfu, but compared to Sun Xiangfu, he is well maintained. The clothes are neat and exquisite, the face is white, and he speaks with a three-point smile, which is very kind.

“You said, Xiao Jue didn’t ask for trouble when he came to this kind of place?” He asked the people around him.

Next to him, there was a person who looked like a guard, who looked mediocre, and had a thin body. If it weren’t for the thick cocoon on the palm of the tiger’s mouth, others would only think that this was an ordinary servant.

“I don’t know.” The guard replied.

“Fine, I’m going to see him today anyway. When I meet, I will ask him personally.” Yuan Baozhen smiled, “Hey, did the Sun family come here?”

Sun Xiangfu came to pick up the people in person.

A satisfied smile appeared on Yuan Baozhen’s face, “Yes, yes, this Sun Zhixian is very polite.”

Sun Xiangfu looked at the stopped carriage and wiped his sweat. Originally, he could not neglect the supervision of Yushi to Liangzhou, but he did not go to the gate of the city to meet him. It’s just that now he has offended Xiao Jue, if he offends Yuan Baozhen again, there will be no way to survive. He also counted on Yuan Baozhen to support him and suffer Xiao Jue a little bit. Naturally, I had to put out 120,000 points of effort to please the person in front of him.

When Yuan Baozhen got out of the carriage, Sun Xiangfu greeted him, and said, “Master Yuan is here, and the officials have missed a long way to welcome him. If you are negligent, please don’t blame the Lord.”

“No matter where,” Yuan Baozhen smiled kindly, “I see that Master Sun is very kind, and Master Sun doesn’t have to be so polite.”

The two chatted and laughed for a while, and Sun Xiangfu said, “If this is the case, please ask the adults to come to the house and rest.”

Yuan Baozhen came to Liangzhou to live in Sun’s Mansion for the time being. The two got into the carriage prepared by Sun Xiangfu together. In the carriage, Yuan Baozhen asked: “I heard that the Governor of Youjun has arrived in Liangzhou now. I wonder if he can be in the house now?”

“Duke Xiao is staying at the inn in Liangzhou City for the time being, saying that he has important matters. He only arrived at the house tonight. Speaking of which, the next official has one more thing to ask Master Yuan for help.”

Yuan Baozhen’s eyes moved, but his smile was the same as before. He only asked: “Why is Sun Zhixian troubled?”

“It’s Du Du Xiao. My unfilial son accidentally ran into Du Du Xiao’s nephew before. I am afraid Du Du Xiao will resent me because of this. Since I will be hosting a banquet for Master Yuan tonight, I hope Master Yuan will make peace in it. , To solve this misunderstanding.” Sun Xiangfu looked plain.

Although he didn’t clearly say what was going on, Yuan Baozhen could also guess a bit. A magistrate in Liangzhou that only covers the sky, the son who can raise is naturally not a good person. That Xiao Jue’s nephew was the young master of Yousi Naorou, and the two clashed, fearing that Master Sun was destined to suffer.

He thought this in his heart, but said on his lips: “I think Sun Zhixian is thinking about this matter seriously. Then Governor Xiao is not an unreasonable person, since he accidentally collided, just say it clearly. How can he still bear it in his heart? ?”

“That’s what I said,” Sun Xiangfu wiped his sweat, and said with a smile: “But Governor Xiao…didn’t Zhao Nuo dealt with Zhao Nuo in the same way back then!”

Yuan Baozhen’s expression changed as soon as he said this.

Everyone knew about the beheading of Zhao Nuo, the eldest son of Shangshu, the eldest son of Xiao Jue Beitang. It’s just that too long time passed, and others thought he was young and vigorous, and they gradually forgot. Now when Sun Xiangfu mentioned it, Yuan Baozhen remembered it again. When Zhao Nuo had an accident, the first person Zhao Shangshu found was actually Xu Xiang. Xu Xiang handed over the post, Zhao Shangshu went to the Palace of Jinluan, crying with snot and tears at His Majesty. His Majesty sympathized with him, but he did not deal with Xiao Jue.

“Logging does not come from its roots, it must regenerate; if water is blocked from its source, it will re-flow; if the disaster does not come from its roots, it will recur.” Xu Xiang said at that time, “This son will not be eliminated,” In the future it will become a big problem for me.”

All they thought was to quickly get rid of Xiao Jue when he was still young, but since he took the Nanfu soldiers to Nanban, he never left this opportunity for others. He grew up at an amazing speed, but in a few years, the person who killed Zhao Nuo back then was regarded as unreasonable by the world. Now if he does these things, others will find it commonplace.

This is what Xiao Jue has done in the past few years.

He is much better than Xiao Zhongwu and much younger.

“My lord, Lord Yuan?” Seeing Yuan Baozhen’s expression was different and silent, Sun Xiangfu said in anxious tone.

“Nothing, I just thought of something else.” Yuan Baozhen smiled, “Since Governor Xiao is here tonight, I will tell him for you. It’s just the temperament of Governor Xiao, I also touched it. I don’t know, if he doesn’t listen to me, don’t blame it.”

“Where is it,” Sun Xiangfu sighed with gratitude, “Master Yuan is willing to open this mouth, and he is already very happy when he comes to an official.”

Yuan Baozhen smiled and shook his head, his mind has already flown elsewhere.

No matter how powerful Xiao Jue is, he came to Liangzhou this time just to get rid of this big trouble for Xu Xiang.

I hope everything goes well.

…

In the evening, He Yan was going out with Xiao Jue.

They were going to Sun Xiangfu’s mansion, so they had to send Song Taotao away, otherwise Sun Ling saw Song Taotao, or Song Taotao saw Sun Ling, and they might do something wrong.

Because he was going to a banquet, He Yan deliberately changed into a very “Cheng Lisu” dress, a honey-colored robe. The corner of the robe was still embroidered with a red carp. Cheng Lisu was cute and innocent in this dress. He Yan wears a different feeling. He looks bright and sparse, but he is also a handsome boy. She picked another hairpin of the same color and stuck it on her head. She didn’t forget to take the folding fan, half-open the folding fan across her chest, and look at the person in the bronze mirror. She felt quite satisfied.

After finishing the arrangement, He Yan went out with a kick, and as soon as he went out, he saw Xiao Jue standing at the door.

He also changed his clothes. It is a dark blue dark patterned double crane brocade dress. Today, I did not wear a golden crown, only a red sandalwood hairpin was inserted. It looked clean and simple. If you look closely, the embroidery of the material is excellent. He was born extraordinarily handsome, and in such a costume, he was a little less indifferent, and he was a little more handsome, jade and metallographic, and he was really a noble and elegant honorable son.

He Yan thought in his heart that the original bright and beautiful boy eventually grew into such a handsome and beautiful man. It seemed that he had not changed, and it seemed that he was completely different from the past.

Xiao Jue turned to one side and met He Yanlue’s dazed gaze. He curled his lips and said, “Wipe your saliva clean.”

He Yan wiped it subconsciously, and then returned to his senses: “Where is it?”

“You look like a fool.” He disliked both inside and outside of his words. “You still want to hide it from Yuan Baozhen?”

He Yan was not convinced when he heard this. She unfolded the folding fan with a “huh”, very romantic. She walked to Xiao Jue’s side, smiled, and whispered: “I look like this, if I’m in Shuojing, I don’t dare to mention it. The Governor, at least should be on the same level as Master Cheng. Otherwise, why would Song Girl alone charge me instead of you when she leaves?”

The corners of the young man’s eyes are smiling, his eyes are as bright as stars, but he is still stupid, Xiao Jue mocked: “Because you are stupid.”

“what?”

“Stupid people always need a lot of reminders.”

He Yan frowned, “Uncle, do you particularly hate me?” This person, can he die if he doesn’t run for a day?

“You are my nephew, how could I hate you.” Xiao Jue glanced at her with a smile, and told Feinu, “Go.”
