Rebirth of a Star General Chapter 229: Lan Fei
lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of the rebirth actress!
When I went back, the night was already very deep.
As soon as Xiao Jue returned to the yard where he lived, a little yellow dog threw at him excitedly, biting on the corner of his robe without letting go.
He squatted down and touched the yellow dog's head. The dog had to move into the inch, wagging his tail fiercely at him, while biting his sleeve and pulling back frantically.
Virtue is exactly the same as its master.
The night after visiting Hefu at night, the yellow dog named Ermao didn't know when he also ran out of the dug hole. Since He Yan was raised by one hand, it is naturally impossible to throw it away. It's just that He Rufei is looking for the thief who was going crazy now. He Yan is afraid that he will find the He family and see Ermao, so he entrusts the Ermao to Xiao Jue. No matter how bold He Rufei was, he didn't dare to go to the door of Xiao's house, and naturally he couldn't find Ermao.
Xiao Jue can only take Ermao back to Xiao's house.
The little girl named Ginkgo in the yard likes Ermao very much. She took a shower and her hair was clean, so she didn't seem to be a stray dog anymore. He also tied the broken hair around its ears with a red rope into two small pulls.
Although Ermao is obviously a male dog.
Xiao Jue was teasing the dog, and a voice came from behind him coldly: "Huaijin...When did you raise a dog in the mansion?"
Xiao Jue stood up and turned back. Xiao Jing and Bai Rongwei stood on the edge of the yard, looking at him with strange eyes.
As everyone knows, the second son of the Xiao family loves cleanliness very much and is particular about it. It was enough for Su Ri Li to be in the barracks, and returning to Shuo Jing was even more crippling and outrageous. The Xiao family never raises any birds, except for the green ears, there are no animals in the house.
This little dog looks like an ordinary peasant dog. The yellow coat is mixed with a bit of black, so it shouldn't be a precious thing.
Xiao Jue lowered his head and glanced at Ermao, who was facing him silently "barking".
"Help people raise."
"Who would ask you to help raise a dog," Xiao Jing laughed, "It's too hard for others."
Bai Rong touched Xiao Jing slightly with his arm, and said with a smile: "If Huai Jin can help raise the dog, there should be only Girl He in the city of Shuojing."
Xiao Jing suddenly realized that she looked at Xiao Jue with a little more relief. This younger brother is always too indifferent and unkind to women, but now it seems that he is quite good at pleasing girls.
In the daytime, Bai Rongwei had already hosted a banquet for Xiao Jue in the mansion, and knew that he was going to accompany He Yan to the night market tonight. There is a lot of food in the night market, so I didn't save a meal for Xiao Jue tonight.
"Big brother and sister-in-law are still waiting for me so late," Xiao Jue asked, "what's the matter?"
Xiao Jing approached him, looked at Ermao who was playing in the snow in the yard, and smiled: "As you know, the fourth son of Chu in Boss' House of Shi Jin will marry Miss Xu Jia next month. "
Xiao Jue said absently.
"You and the fourth son of Chu were married by your majesty." Xiao Jing said: "Now the date of the marriage of the fourth son of Chu has been set. Your marriage, I and your sister-in-law would like to ask, what date are you going to do? ?"
Xiao Jue was slightly startled.
"Your eldest brother and I have already talked with Master He before. Master He said, as long as Miss He likes it, he is nothing. After all, Miss He is a girl's house, so I can't ask too much." Bai Rongwei looked at Xiao Jue." You Su Rili was with Girl He, but did you talk to her about this?"
The Xiao family is very enlightened. Originally, when Xiao Zhongwu and Mrs. Xiao were alive, Xiao Jing wanted to marry the concubine Bai Rongwei. Mrs. Xiao disagreed, and finally he obeyed Xiao Jing's wishes. Now that Xiao Zhongwu and his wife are gone, Xiao Jing and Bai Rongwei will not even intervene in making decisions about Xiao Jue's marriage. Everything depends on Xiao Jue's wishes.
"I plan to get married in the next year." Xiao Jue said.
Bai Rongwei and Xiao Jing looked at each other, and both saw the surprise in each other's eyes. I thought it would take another year and a half, but I didn't expect Xiao Jue to make the decision so quickly. This is also good, it seems that Xiao Jue likes this girl He even more than they thought.
"If this is the case, I will show you your two birthday horoscopes to your husband tomorrow, and let him choose a good day for you. I have to discuss with Master He about what to do next. Don’t worry about the bride price. Rubi and I have been ready for you a long time ago.” Bai Rong smiled, full of joy, and took Xiao Jing’s hand and said, “I’ll go with Rubi to ask someone to send a post to Mr. Huai Jin, You have been tired for a day today, so go back to the house and have a good rest, and I will tell you tomorrow morning."
Xiao Jue nodded, and Bai Rongwei satisfactorily pulled Xiao Jing away.
Xiao Jue looked at the backs of the two of them, until Ermao came to pull his boots again, and he didn't come back to his senses.
In the past, I only felt that the yard was empty and cold, but now there is no more than a puppy, or a dumb who can't bark, but it seems to suddenly become lively.
He lowered his head and smiled, instead of going back to the house, he turned and walked to the other side of the ancestral hall.
In the ancestral hall of the Xiao family, the tablet of Xiao Zhongwu and his wife is placed at the front. Xiao Jue walked aside and took out the incense from the niche and put it on.
Green smoke curls up.
Xiao Jue's face was hidden behind the smoke, and his expression was diluted.
As long as he returns to Shuojing, he often comes to the Buddhist hall. When it thunders, when it is sacrificed...when it is bored.
He is not a person who likes to talk. He is alive and there are too few people who can talk. Everyone has their own sufferings, why share their tastes with others. At the hardest time, he was scolded by the literati at the back of the spine during the Battle of Guocheng, and when he returned to the mansion, he was just lighting three incense in the ancestral hall.
After the three incenses are burnt, everything remains as usual.
Many tastes in the world are to be felt bit by bit over many years. He saw everything when he was young and found everything boring. He actually yearned for the fireworks in the world, but the fireworks in the world avoided him. How about young and ambition, what about the family son of Fox Qiu Jinyi? Everyone regards him as the high moon in the sky. In fact, the moon is just a lonely boy.
He had a friend, and then the friend betrayed. I also looked forward to the family, and then the family left. The most arbitrary teenage time, but within a few short years, the only candy left in life was also given to the dead seeker of Lu Yu. For these years, he has been alone, leaving nothing, until one day, a smiling girl rushed into his life and said to him, I like the moon, the moon doesn't know.
He has never been so sure about one thing at this moment.
Xiao Jue raised his eyes and looked at the tablet behind Qingyan.
"Father, mother," his voice was calm, as if he was saying an unshakable vow, "I like a person."
"I want to marry her as my wife."
……
In Hefu, in a yard, there was a intensive coughing sound.
The maid who was staying in the outbuilding of the yard turned over and said in a daze, "The second lady is coughing again. Go and see."
"I'm not going," the other maid beside her turned over and said impatiently: "Don't even care about the second master, why do we bother. Wait for the day to be fine. You are going to go."
"It's so cold, I won't go." The speaking maid covered her head with the quilt, "I think I didn't hear it."
The coughing outside was continuous, and after a while, it seemed to be suppressed deliberately, making a few muffled snorts.
Mrs. He struggled to prop up her body, her throat and eyes were scorched by fire. The veil in her hand has long been filled with blood stains, she took a hard breath, and it took a long time to fumble for the lamp to light up.
He Yuanliang hasn't been in her yard for a long time. To be precise, after the Yuhua Temple, she was confined to the He family, and He Yuanliang refused to take another look.
This is actually what Mrs. He's second had expected. Her husband is a villain, a cowardly and greedy villain, and now she is even more afraid of offending He Rufei, so she is busy to distinguish her relationship with herself first, even if she is his wife.
Send a wife, Mrs. He smiled sarcastically. What about having a wife? He can be cruel to his own daughter. For a wife who is not related by blood, he is no different from a stranger.
Mrs. He looked at the beating flame in the oil lamp.
She is the eldest daughter of the family. She was married to He Yuanliang by her father, which means that she has a place among the nobles of the He family in the city of Shuojing. In her original home, her daughter's marriage was to pave the way for her father and brother's official career, and she did not expect to marry into the He family.
Unfortunately, she had a bad life and gave birth to two daughters. Of course, her children became the victims of the He family.
The second wife of He hates He Rufei's cruelty, hates He Yuansheng and his wife for the idea of changing children, hates He Yuanliang's cowardice and incompetence. She hates herself more often.
Hate my inability to change everything.
If she can give birth to a son, maybe a son, He Yuansheng will not be so arrogant. But she didn't, so she couldn't protect He Yan, nor He Xinying.
There was a knock on the door outside.
Mrs. He said: "Come in."
A little girl came in, looking at her face.
Mrs. He asked: "Who are you?"
"The slave and maid Cuiluo is the sweeping maid in the yard." Cuiluo replied respectfully, still carrying a pot of hot water in her hand, "The slave and maid went outside to get some hot water, and the second lady had some water. Don't cough up." She walked to the table, picked up a tea bowl, poured a glass of water and handed it to Madam He.
The water was just hot and not too hot. Madam He took a sip, and the tingling sensation in her throat suddenly improved. She said: "Thank you."
Cui Luo lowered her head and whispered: "All slaves and maids should do. If the second lady needs help from the slaves, please explain."
"Everyone in my yard thinks that I don't exist anymore." Madam He smiled bitterly: "Why trouble you again."
"The slave and maid's master is Madam He, so naturally I have to listen to Madam He's instructions." Cui Luo's voice did not change in any way.
Mrs. He was taken aback for a moment, and she couldn't help but carefully looked at the maid in front of her.
Surili, the servant girl of the He family, was strictly disciplined by the He Yuansheng and his wife. She used to be a bit lively, but now she has become dull out of fear of He Rufei. The subordinates are always trembling and timid. This maid is standing here, neither humble nor overbearing, looking at her with no respect or overstepping, just like treating an ordinary person.
Mrs. He's heart moved and asked tentatively: "You really can help me with anything?"
"Second lady, please give orders."
"Can you find a doctor for me?"
Cui Luo was silent for a moment before she said: "I'm afraid it won't work these days, but the slave and maid can bring some pills for the second wife."
Mrs. He suddenly understood something.
She sat forward a little, her voice lowered a little, "You are not from Hefu, who is your master?"
Cui Luo glanced at Madam He with some surprise. Master Feinu said, asking her to sneak into He Mansion to take care of the second wife He, she did so. In these days, Mrs. He had almost no status in the He family, and the maids underneath did not put her in their eyes. With such a serious illness, He Yuanliang never took the initiative to take a look at her, nor did he ask her for a doctor. At this night, if it weren't for Cuiluo to enter the house, Mrs. He could only cough like this until dawn.
She has always felt that this is an ordinary woman who is a little weak and incompetent. Now that she heard this, she knew that this woman was originally smart and discerning.
Cui Luo did not speak.
"Your master, but General Feng Yun?" Madam He asked in a low voice.
Cui Luo is even more surprised.
Mrs. He laughed instead. She laughed for a while, her expression became serious again, and said: "I know what your master wants to do. Go back and tell him that I can help him. However, as the price of the transaction, he I must protect my daughter He Xinying."
Cui Luo was silent for a while, without saying anything, she just put the hot pot on the table and whispered softly: "If the madam has orders, then call the slaves and maids to come in." After that, she closed the door and walked out.
Mrs. He looked at the hot tea on the table, and didn't know what she was thinking about. After a long time, she swallowed the sweet smell in her throat and lay down again.
……
One night passed, and early the next morning, Feinu brought back the news of the He family.
In the study, Xiao Jue frowned slightly: "Deal?"
"That's what Mrs. He said." Feinu replied. Feinu was also surprised when the news from Cuiluo returned. I don't know whether to admire this woman's courage, or to say something else.
"He Rufei exchanged identities with Miss He Er. Miss He Er is the real General Feihong. Mrs. He should know about it." Feinu said: "He Rufei may now threaten with He Xinying. Mrs. He, the second husband of He dare not tell the truth. With the help of Mrs. He, the secrets of the He family should be easy to uncover." Speaking of this, Feinu sighed, who would have thought of the battlefield. The general Feihong who made the Qiang feel terrified, turned out to be a woman? And how hard-hearted Mrs. He and Erye He are, they will let a girl's family bear such an overly heavy destiny, and after they are successful, they will kill the donkey.
The Nine Flags Battalion said they had seen all kinds of cruelty on the battlefield, but when they knew the truth, they couldn't help but feel sorry for the unjustly killed General Feihong.
A generation of famous generals, even if they are dead, should die vigorously, on the battlefield. Instead of being killed in an ordinary back house with insidious tricks.
"What Mrs. He said, only mentioned He Xinying?" Xiao Jue asked.
Fei Nu nodded: "Yes."
Xiao Jue looked down: "I see."
"Master, then..."
"Let Cuiluo tell Madam He," Xiao Jue looked out the window, "I did this deal."
……
On the first day of December, Utuo envoy Manimbu came to Beijing.
Emperor Wen Xuan summoned Utuo envoys at the Golden Luang Temple. In Qinglan Palace, Concubine Lan was leaning against Ruansu, watching the maid making tea.
Lady Lan is not young anymore. New beauties come in every year in the harem, and she is the only one who won the favor of His Majesty. Everyone said that Concubine Lan had such good luck. Not only was she favored by the emperor, but she also gave birth to a son with both ability and political integrity. She did not fight for her temperament, not to mention that her head pressed against the queen, even the next Ni Guiren. Also dare to be arrogant to her.
However, since Emperor Wenxuan handed the fifth prince Guangji to Concubine Lan to raise him, Guiren Ni has been quite restrained. The fifth prince Guangji was young. Although Ni Guiren repeatedly told him that Concubine Lan was not a good person, Guangji felt that Concubine Lan was more gentle with her than her biological mother. There was never a dispute with Concubine Lan. .
It’s the same today.
Guangji ran in from outside, and the old mother behind him hurriedly followed him, saying: "Your Highness, run slowly, carefully don't fall!"
"Mother concubine!" Guang Ji ran to Concubine Lan in one breath and smiled: "The Utuo envoy came into the palace today, and the father summoned them in the temple. I heard that the Utuo gave many gifts. There are half-person tall ivory, and white peacock...Mother concubine, I want to see it!"
Lan Guifei smiled and patted the snow particles on her body for him, "Go if you want."
"Won't the mother and concubine be with her son?" Guangji asked.
"I won't go to this palace anymore." Concubine Lan Gui smiled, "Let Mother Chang take you there."
The fifth prince was young and wanted to see the white peacock. He said: "Okay, the minister will go there. After reading it, I will talk to the mother and concubine about freshness!"
Mother Chang took the fifth prince's hand and left. Concubine Lan Gui smiled and shook her head, "It's like a child."
"Fifth brother was originally young," a voice rang from outside the door, "it is normal to be childish."
The maid behind her hurriedly said: "The slave and maid had seen the Four Highnesses."
The fourth prince Guang Shuo stepped in.
Concubine Lan was born with delicate beauty and delicate appearance, and the appearance of the four princes followed her mother. She was clear and handsome. Compared with the appearance of the prince Guangyan Chengri, who was indulgent and sensual, she seemed much more cordial and reliable.
When Concubine Lan met Guangshuo, she immediately laughed, pulled him to sit down in front of the stove on one side, and asked the maid to pour hot tea for Guangshuo, and said: "Why come to me today?"
"The emperor father saw those Utuo envoys in the temple, and the prince was also there, so the children came to see the mother and concubine." Guang Shuo smiled.
Lan Guifei smiled slightly and said nothing.
"The mother concubine also knows about the Uto envoys, right?"
Concubine Lan’s expression is no longer as relaxed as she had just faced Guangji. She sighed, "I know."
"Father is willing to meet those messengers and has already stated that he is willing to accept the Utuo people's petition." Guang Shuo's smile faded, "That's all. Now after the First World War in Jiyang and the First World War in Rundu, Wu The trustee dare not act rashly for the time being, but if the father promised them to open a bargaining field in Dawei...the consequences would be disastrous."
Concubine Lan looked outside, "The others step back, Yugui, close the door."
The ladies all retreated, and Yugui closed the door.
Concubine Lan looked at Guang Shuo, "Have you ever said these words in front of your father?"
Guang Shuo shook his head: "No. Father never talked about these things with me."
Emperor Wenxuan likes the four princes, because the four princes are like Concubine Lan, and Concubine Lan has outstanding literary talents, gentle temperament, not fighting or grabbing, in the deep palace, like the last piece of pure land in the depths of the emperor's heart, it is not to be defiled. So even though Queen Zhang didn't like Concubine Lan very much, Concubine Lan was still alive in the deep palace for so many years. Because she made no mistakes, the emperor also protected her. This pity and respect for Concubine Lan also continued to Guang Shuo.
The same is true for Guangshuo. No matter how courtiers encouraged him to compete with the prince for the position, Guangshuo was unmoved. When he was with Emperor Wen Xuan, most of his talks were poetic and pictorial-politics and the country should be the prince's concern. If he is too presumptuous, it will arouse the emperor's disgust.
"Guangshuo," Concubine Lan looked at him and suddenly said, "Do you want to fight?"
Guangshuo was taken aback.
"Do you want to fight for that position?" Concubine Lan repeated again.
As if the secret in my heart was exposed, Guang Shuo avoided Concubine Lan’s gaze in embarrassment, "I dare not."
"I only ask if you want it, I didn't ask if you dare." In the eyes of the always gentle woman, there is a firmness and unfamiliar condensation that has never been seen before.
Guang Shuo was looked at by those eyes, and he couldn't help but said: "...think."
After a while, he settled down and said, "I think. Mother concubine, the prince is not worthy of being a crown prince. He only knows about eating, drinking and having fun. There must be private contacts between Utuo and him. Ruruo Palace If there are other brothers who have both ability and political integrity, I will support him, but now there is no one else. If one day spreads to that position, no one knows what Wei will look like in the future."
"Perhaps, there is no big Wei at all."
The last word fell, and there was an extreme silence in the palace, as if shocked by his rebellious remarks.
Lan Guifei sighed softly.
"For so many years, this palace has never thought about anything else. It was not what I wanted to enter the palace. Since I have already entered, I will live well. This palace does not care about the Uto people, nor the emperor, even This palace doesn't care what the future of Dawei will be." She looked at Guangshuo, stretched out her hand and brushed Guangshuo's face, with a gentle smile in her eyes, "In this palace, Guangshuo, this palace only cares about you. "
"If Guangyan becomes an emperor, you and me, mother and son, will have no life." Her voice was soft, and she said the cruelest words, "It doesn't matter if I live for most of my life and die. But you can't, Guang Shuo." She smiled, "How can you die in the hands of this kind of person if you are so smart and gentle, and so young. This palace will never allow it."
Guang Shuo looked at the woman who straightened up from the collapsed body, still with the same beautiful and dignified eyebrows as before. With one movement, the momentum has been completely changed. In his heart, there was a sudden burst of boiling emotion, as if the impulse accumulated for a long time was about to break through the ground.
"Mother Concubine..."
"Your Majesty’s favor, the palace already has. The courtiers and the people’s love, you already have. But only these two things are not enough. He Rufei has been bought, and he wants to fight for this position..."
"You must get Xiao Huaijin." she said.
