Rebirth of a Star General

Lin Shuanghe was He Yanxun's house, and there was no news for several days. Since returning to Shuojing, Lin Shuanghe has been like no such person, and He Yan can't rush to find him. After going back and forth, He Yan was about to wonder if this person did it on purpose.

Xiao Jue still leaves early and returns late, not knowing what to do. He Yan would appear in the daytime. Since the last time she went to Xu's house and met Fuwang, she has not gone to Xu's house again. She had to leave Fuwang to dry. When Fuwang saw He Yan's delay in showing up, he would definitely stop thinking about pushing and pulling with her, for fear of letting go of this cash cow. In order to prove his worth, he will only go to Xu's house harder and harder to find useful news.

He Yan was not in a hurry.

In the past few days, in addition to seeing He Yunsheng again in secret, she also spent a few days at the door of "He's house". I don't know if it was because of He Rufei's relationship, the number of guards outside He's house more than doubled. He Yan couldn't expose himself, so he could only observe in the dark. He Rufei didn't do anything except go to court every day. Most of his entertainment with his colleagues was in restaurants, and he never brought people home. In addition, he also visited Xu's house once, carrying the so-called supplements for visiting his cousin, but was he really visiting He Xinying? He Yan doesn't think so.

But in the eyes of outsiders, He Rufei's move just showed that he had a close relationship with his sister. There were even rumors that because of the accident of the previous grandmother Xu, He Rufei took care of this younger sister more carefully, and in the end, he gave He Rufei a good name again.

He Yan only thought it was a little funny, and also felt that the He family's ways of acting are really endless.

Autumn has come, and the summer heat has completely faded away. On this day, He Yan just came back from outside the mansion, and unexpectedly found that the yard was very lively. She left early in the morning, and she didn't know what happened, but Bai Guole ran over and whispered, "Grandma is entertaining guests in the yard, son, you can also wash up a little, go and have a look." She got closer and said mysteriously, "There are many young ladies here today, and the second young master is also there."

She was young, so when she said these words, she was not shy and coy, but full of childlike innocence. It's just that these words fell into He Yan's ears, and it really didn't sound very appealing.

Bai Rongwei had previously told her that a banquet would be held before the Mid-Autumn Festival. On the surface, it was a banquet for the lady, but in fact it was a matchmaker for Xiao Jue. He Yan didn't expect to move so fast, and He Yan thought again, usually Xiao Jue came back late, sometimes she fell asleep and Xiao Jue didn't come back, but she came back so early today with a girl here, oh, what a coincidence .

Seeing that He Yan was silent, Bai Guo said, "Young Master?"

He Yan regained his senses and forced a smile: "I won't go. I've been running around all day today, and I'm really tired. I want to go back to the house to rest first."

Bai Guo: "But..." She noticed that He Yan was in a bad mood, and felt strange for a while. This Young Master He has a gentle temperament and has no airs. He will take the initiative to clean up the tableware and chopsticks. Sometimes, when she sees her greedy, he will secretly leave the snacks in the meal to her. Bai Guo felt that the masters she had met, apart from the eldest young master and his wife, were the best sons of He. But today it is almost clear that Bai Jiang is unhappy on his face. After all, he has been the master and servant these days, Bai Guo thought to himself, is it possible that he was wronged outside?

Before she could figure it out, she saw He Yan walking down the corridor with her head down.

He Yan thought like this, out of sight is pure, but outside the corridor is the pavilion in the main courtyard, Bai Rongwei saw him at a glance, and called him: "Master He!"

If he pretended not to hear this, it would be too deliberate. He Yan had to bite the bullet and turned around, looked at Bai Rong and said with a smile, "Grandma Xiao."

Bai Rongwei got up and walked towards her, "I was just asking Huai Jin, when will you come back, I'm afraid you won't be able to catch up with today's autumn banquet. You happened to be here, we haven't started yet."

The host is very kind, and it seems impolite to leave at this time. He Yan had to walk over and salute her, "Grandma has a heart."

The Xiao family's house was specially repaired according to his wife's preferences when General Xiao was alive. And Xiao Jue's grandmother is from Suzhou, so the Xiao family's courtyard in Shuojing is extraordinarily elegant and unique. Bai Rongwei didn't have many guests for the banquet. There were only four or five guests in total. I don't know if they were her friends or what.

Xiao Jue sat next to Xiao Jing. The two brothers, who were famously handsome men in the Great Wei Dynasty, reflected the courtyard like a fairyland for a while.

In the Wei Dynasty, men and women guarded against each other, and the rule that men and women had different seats at the age of seven was abolished shortly after Emperor Wenxuan ascended the throne. Emperor Wenxuan yearned for the unrestrained and romantic state of the famous people in the past, and believed that he was not bound by the old etiquette. Therefore, Dawei was not as strict as the previous dynasty on unmarried men and women.

Bai Rong smiled and explained to the rest of the banquet, "This is Young Master He, a good friend of Huai Jin. At such a young age, His Majesty has already proclaimed Wu Anlang." She instructed her servants to add bowls and chopsticks to He Yan, but I don't know why, but it was placed beside Xiao Jing, Bai Rongwei sat next to a lady with a round face, and said to He Yan: "Today, I invited a few friends to come to the mansion to taste the newly made chrysanthemum cake, everyone should be It's an ordinary family banquet, don't be polite, just be casual."

Having said that, aside from Xiao Jing and his wife, and the elderly wives, there is also the indifferent Xiao Jue, and the rest are really not casual.

He Yan sat next to Xiao Jing and looked at Xiao Jue. Xiao Jue was sitting on the other side of Xiao Jing. He seldom touched his chopsticks and mostly just sat. Although he concealed it well, he looked carefully. There was impatience between his brows.

Those girls were different. They were sitting on the long seat directly opposite Xiao Jue. The timid ones looked at Xiao Jue vaguely from the corner of their eyes, and they were so affectionate that they should not be ignored. The more daring ones stared directly at Xiao Jue, with a pair of beautiful eyes filled with admiration, which could make one's bones crumble.

Good guy, He Yan thought to himself, Bai Rongwei knew that Xiao Jue didn't like Shen Muxue, and the four girls she found didn't have the same cold and arrogant temperament as Shen Muxue, but they didn't look like Shen Muxue either. up and down. Sitting here, she already wanted to lift the table and leave. If Shen Muxue was here, she would definitely be half-suffocated.

But even though he thought so in his heart, he couldn't show it on his face. He Yan lowered his head to eat. At this time, he didn't say a word or slept. It was just an ordinary meal, except that there were four more beautiful girls on the opposite side.

This meal was very embarrassing.

Not only He Yan was embarrassed, but at the end, even Xiao Jing and Bai Rongwei couldn't resist. After all, although Xiao Jue's personality is not as gentle as Xiao Jing's, his face is still good enough to attract bees and butterflies, and Xiao Jing is already married, so the four girls all set their eyes on Xiao Jue.

They were all well-bred noble girls in Shuojing, but they knew good manners, but above the knowledge of etiquette, the four of them would still find something to talk to Xiao Jue, such as "Does Second Young Master Xiao like autumn?" "Weekdays What are you doing here?" "Will you stay in Shuojing after this?" and other meaningless questions.

Xiao Jue answered, but he could answer in one word, never two words. Many times, Bai Rongwei and Xiao Jing came out to supplement.

He Yan was quite happy in her heart, but she felt bored when she thought about it, and she was actually happy for this kind of thing. Did she fall into evil?

Night is coming, Xi Bi, the ladies and Xiao Jing and his wife bid farewell, He Yan and Xiao Jue stand aside. The four girls' reluctant gaze almost made Xiao Jue see through. A bolder young lady looked at Xiao Jue and asked with a smile, "When the second young master Xiao was on the hunting ground, he was unparalleled in style. After this When I have free time, can I learn archery with the little girl?"

Xiao Jue looked at her expressionlessly for a long time, then pulled the corner of his mouth, "I have a habit of learning from each other."

The girl was looking forward to it.

"It doesn't matter if you live or die."

"Cough-cough--" Xiao Jing interjected in time and said with a smile, "Huai Jin is joking, he likes to joke."

However, as soon as the words came out, just this sentence, the girl's mother's face changed greatly, and she took her daughter and hurried away.

Bai Rongwei was angry and funny. After she left, she said to Xiao Jue, "You kid, why are you still the same as before? If you don't like it, you don't like it. Why bother trying to scare others. Miss Tian has also studied martial arts. Generous, it looks good to me."

Seeing that Xiao Jue didn't speak, Bai Rongwei said again: "What about Miss Li? The one who was sitting opposite you just now, the one who was soft and weak. She is very good at writing and can speak well. She is very gentle and quiet."

Xiao Jue still didn't speak.

Bai Rongwei raised his eyes and saw He Yan, and asked He Yan, "Young Master He also saw four young ladies today. Wouldn't it be great for you to come and judge?"

He Yan: "..."

What does this have to do with her? What a disaster. However, in front of several people, He Yan had to ask himself and slowly said, "The four young ladies are all very good, their temperament and appearance are all outstanding, and whoever marries them will be a blessing from a previous life. …”

Probably got the affirmation of Xiao Jue's friends, Bai Rongwei felt that he also got half of Xiao Jue's affirmation, and said, "Huaijin, look, even Mr. He thinks it's good..."

Xiao Jue spoke suddenly, her voice calm, "Sister-in-law thinks it's fine, why don't you ask me to come back and give it to eldest brother. With eldest brother's temperament and appearance, they shouldn't feel wronged."

This is mean, Xiao Jing, who has always been gentle and elegant, couldn't help but warn, "Xiao Huaijin!"

Xiao Jue was unmoved, his eyes swept over Xiao Jing, and said indifferently: "Brother, think about it, what did you do when your mother wanted to choose a wife for you. Do not do to others what you do not want, eldest brother should Better than me." After that, regardless of Xiao Jing and Bai Rongwei's reaction, they walked away.

He Yan stood here, inexplicably embarrassed, and defended Xiao Jue in a low voice: "The Governor may be in a bad mood today, so don't worry about it, grandma."

"I didn't care." Bai Rong was stunned for a while, as if she had just recovered, and looked at her husband, "However, was Huai Jin just... angry?"

Even though there are rumors from outsiders about how inhumane, mean and indifferent the military commander of the Right Army is, but when Xiao Jue is in the manor, almost no one has seen him lose his temper. More often, he just doesn't care. It seems that many years ago when I wrote the words "I'm angry" on my face so clearly.

"I've done this before, why are you... so angry this time?" she asked puzzled.

 …

Someone knocked on the door outside.

After a while, he was well-balanced and unyielding. Even if the people inside were too lazy to pay attention, the people outside were not discouraged.

In the whole yard, only the heroine can have such courage at this time.

Xiao Jue paused and said, "Come in."

He Yan's head came in from behind the door.

She also knew that Xiao Jue was in a bad mood. With a pleasing smile on her face, she closed the door behind the door and stepped forward, "Captain, are you alright?"

Xiao Jue sat on the chair, "Very good."

Looking at his face, it doesn't look like "very good".

What he said to Bai Rongwei just now was really too much. But when He Yan heard him say that, he was still very happy. She just quickly scolded herself secretly in her heart. How could this be so? There was a conflict between her family members. She, an outsider, cheered here for a little selfishness. What was the difference between her and those villains? Living here these days, Bai Rongwei has taken care of her a lot, and she is reasonable, and she should help make peace, instead of adding fuel to the fire.

He Yan ran to the opposite side of him, laying half-body on the table, looked at him, "Captain, Grandma Xiao is also kind. What you did just now is a bit hurtful."

Xiao Jue's eyes moved to her face, his eyes were slightly cold, "Miss He, what do you think I should do?"

He has called the title "Miss He" many times, sometimes it's sarcasm, sometimes it's mean, but now this sentence is cold and even a bit angry.

He Yan carefully considered the words, "At least, you should be more euphemistic."

Xiao Jue sneered, "Why?"

He Yan choked.

"Could it be that if it was Miss He, it would be very euphemistic?" He said abruptly.

He Yan was puzzled, "I'm a woman."

"If your father and brother are like today, and find a few young masters with outstanding appearance and temperament to come before you," he said sarcastically, "wouldn't you simply refuse?"

He Yan thought to herself, in the past, she would have to be polite and polite in order to take care of everyone's face. But now, she has someone she likes, and she is a little powerless if she tries to force it.

It's just that I couldn't say this to Xiao Jue, and the people in front of her ignored her dodging, stared at her, and asked again, "Miss He, what should you do?"

When he met his gaze, He Yan couldn't speak out of conscience, he held it for a while, then patted the table, "I thought about it, if it were me, I would have made the same choice as the governor, maybe he said something. It's even worse. Governor, you're right, you're right! If you don't like it, refuse it, and there's no need to give other people wrong hints. Sometimes being polite and courteous to the other party can become provocation. The provocative others can't sleep at night, but they don't at all. That means, isn't it a lie!"

At the end of the sentence, there was a bit of complaint in his tone, and he didn't know who he was talking about.

Seeing her look of righteous indignation, Xiao Jue's expression softened a bit, and hooked her lips, "You are a little enlightened."

Seeing that he was in a better mood, He Yan took out a sachet from his sleeve and gave it to him, "This is for you."

Xiao Jue took a look, raised his eyes and said, "What did you do?"

"How is that possible?" He Yan replied without thinking, "Where would I make this? Grandma Xiao made it. She also made one for me, but I forgot to give it to you earlier." She took it out again. His cloud-patterned sachet, "I heard that there are herbs and amulets in it."

Seeing that Xiao Jue was holding the sachet and didn't speak, she moved closer: "I didn't expect Grandma Xiao to prepare my share, Governor, Grandma Xiao is gentle and honest, and she thinks about you wholeheartedly. Although the way... ...It doesn't suit your heart, but you have to make it clear with her about this kind of thing. There's no need to hurt the harmony between you. Why bother with family members..."

She kept babbling, and the closer her head got closer, Xiao Jue laughed, and pressed her fingers against her head and pushed back, "Stop, I'm not angry."

At first, he was angry, but it wasn't because of Bai Rongwei... This person didn't know anything yet. He felt a little helpless in his heart. He was angry with someone who didn't know. This anger was destined to be impossible to vent.

"Really?" He Yan looked at him.

"Really." He lowered his eyes and thought of something, before speaking after a while, "I'll be out of the city in the next few days, is it okay for you to stay here alone?"

He Yan was startled, "Do you need my help?"

Xiao Jue has been out early and late in the past few days, and He Yan can also sense that he has something urgent to do. Thinking about it, it has nothing to do with Xu Jingfu and Xiao Zhongwu. Although she is also busy with the He family and the Xu family, if Xiao Jue needs her, He Yan will not refuse.

"No, I can do it myself."

He Yan nodded, "Then when are you coming back?"

"I don't know," Xiao Jue looked at the burning wick, "try before the Mid-Autumn Festival."

...

In the mansion of Xu Xiang in the capital, the lights are bright at this moment.

Xu Xiang was a literati. He usually held banquets at home, and did not like women to dance. A few days ago, Chu Zhao sat on his knees and looked at the tea cup in front of him. The heat rising from the tea cup was like a veil, covering his expression and making his face seem unreal.

Xu Jingfu didn't like drinking, he only drank tea. People who come to Xu's house to give gifts also know what they like, and even the tea that is presented to the servants can be sold for a good price.

The servants stood on both sides, respectfully. Xu Jingfu had no son, and everyone in the Xu family knew that Xu Jingfu treated this proud disciple as his own son. And Xu Pingting, Xu Jingfu's only daughter, has a deep-rooted love for Chu Zilan... Sooner or later, teachers and students will become husbands-in-law.

"When you went to Jiyang this time, things went very smoothly." Xu Jingfu said with a smile. When he was young, he was handsome and gentle. When he got older, he was kind and kind. Just looking at the appearance, he would only think that this was an easy thing to let go. People feel kind old man. He took a sip of tea and said, "However, when you were in Rundu, why did you stay for a few more days?"

Chu Zhao replied warmly: "The people of Rundu are hungry, Zilan can't bear to leave alone, she wanted to stay in Rundu to help, see if you can invite reinforcements, but I didn't expect that General Yan led his troops to come to the rescue, which solved the urgent need of Rundu. "

These things, a little inquiries to know, he did not lie. Xu Jingfu still smiled kindly, neither saying he was right nor wrong.

The atmosphere was a little stagnant.

Just when the stalemate was stalemate, suddenly, a woman's voice came: "Dad! Why didn't you call me when brother Zilan came!" The next moment, a girl in a yellow dress flew in like a flower and sat in Chu Zi. beside Lan.

This girl was born very beautiful, as delicate as a doll made of white porcelain, with arrogance between her brows and eyes. However, at the age of seventeen or eighteen, her clothes and jewelry were all rich and expensive, and the ruby ​​gold hairpin was inserted into her hair bun.

This is Xu Jingfu's only daughter, Xu Pingting.

Xu Jingfu only got such a pearl in the palm of his hand when he was old, and he almost spoiled her. I am afraid that the current princess is not as particular as Xu Pingting. As soon as Xu Pingting arrived at the banquet hall, the atmosphere immediately calmed down, Xu Jingfu shook his head and laughed, "As soon as you came here, you asked your teacher for guilt, and you don't even care about being a father. Others say that girls are outgoing, really..."

Xu Pingting heard the words, not only was not embarrassed, but raised her eyebrows and said coquettishly, "I see my father every day, but I haven't seen big brother Zilan for a long time, father, can you please not let me down next time? Brother Lan is too far away from Beijing." She took Chu Zhao's arm naturally, looked at him and said, "Brother Zilan, when I heard you were going to Jiyang earlier, Pingting was scared to death, how could father do this? Fortunately, you are all right. During your absence, Pingting prayed in front of the Bodhisattva for your safe return every day. It seems that the Bodhisattva heard Pingting's prayer and protected you."

Xu Jingfu said sourly, "I have never seen you pray for your father."

"father!"

"Okay, alright, little ancestor, I won't say anything, right?" Xu Jingfu apologized, looking at Chu Zhao, "However, Zilan came just in time, and I just have something to say."

Chu Zilan looked at Xu Jingfu, "Teacher, please speak."

"I heard that Xiao Rubi's wife invited a few young ladies from her colleague's mansion to Xiao's mansion as a guest. She said that she was a guest, but it was nothing more than choosing a wife for Xiao Huaijin. After all, you and Xiao Huaijin are about the same age. Since I am yours Teacher, you should also worry about these things for you."

Xu Pingting was stunned for a moment, her face turned red, and said, "Father, you are..."

"Do you know you're shy now?" Xu Jingfu laughed and joked, and then said again, "Zilan, you are my best student, and you and Pingting grew up together, childhood sweethearts. I planned in my early years, when you grow up. The queen will marry Pingting to you, now look at it, now is that time. What do you think?"

The servants in the hall all buried their heads to hide their surprise. Although they knew that such a day would come, they would inevitably be surprised when they heard it. After all, as Chu Zhao, marrying Xu Xiang's daughter is really high.

Chu Zhao stood up, lifted the corner of his robe, knelt down straightly towards Xu Jingfu, and bowed down to give a big salute to Xu Jingfu.

"Students thank the teacher for her love. Being able to marry Pingting is a blessing from the third generation of the students. The major matters of marriage are entirely up to the teacher."
