Rebirth of a Star General

The three of Xiao Jue entered the palace with the waiter who led the way.

He Yan sat in the carriage alone, listening to his words "bring you home", knowing that Xiao Jue was just talking casually, but the people who heard it felt dizzy, buried their heads in their palms, and felt a little fluttering.

She didn't know what "home" was. Although the He family in the previous life was home, it never gave her affection and warmth, and the Xu family was also home, but they pushed her into the cold pool water with one hand. The other "He Family" in this life finally gave her some nostalgia and warmth to live in this world, but she was not allowed to meet them rashly until things were settled.

Thinking of this, He Yan's joy gradually calmed down.

She had to find a way to go back first and meet Yunsheng and He Sui. It's been more than a year since I left, and I feel very concerned about coming to He Sui and He Yunsheng. As early as in Liangzhou Wei Shi, since his identity was discovered, He Yan had secretly stuffed Fei Nu with money, begging Fei Nu to find a way to let the people in Shuojing bring a message to He Sui to report safety. When I went to Jiyang, and the Utuo war came together, I forgot about it. I didn't bring a letter to He Sui and the others for a while. He Sui and the others should be worried.

She still has to find a way to go to Xu's house.

Starting from He Rufei was a bit difficult. She had to start with the Xu family first. He Yan was killed. From the beginning to the end, neither Xu Zhiheng nor He Rufei showed up directly. She died at the hands of He Wanru. With Xu Zhiheng's temperament, he was bound to kill He Wanru to silence him. Perhaps everyone present that day could not escape the word "death". But aren't there any smart people in the Xu family? Just like Chai Anxi fell in the Mingshui battle back then, there might not be any fish that slipped through the net in the Xu family's yard.

That's her chance.

She had to prove that Grandma Xu died for a different cause before she could peel off layers by layer and reveal the biggest sinister secret of the He family.

He Yan thought carefully about his plan to return to Shuojing in the future, and before he knew it, the sky was getting dark. When the lantern in front of the palace was lit, I saw a familiar shadow walking out of it.

Only Xiao Jue and Yan He came out. Without seeing Lin Shuanghe, He Yan asked curiously, "Why is Brother Lin not here?"

"Doctor Lin is in the palace, he won't leave for the time being." Xiao Jue replied, then looked at Yan He.

"Don't look at me, I'm going back to the house now." Yan He asked someone to lead the horse, "Chengxiu is still waiting for me at home," he seemed to be particularly proud of the fact that someone was waiting for him, "You are alone. , of course I don't care about that." After that, he got on his horse, said "go", and walked away.

To be honest, He Yan used to think that Yan He was arrogant, and he was like cockfighting every day, but if you look at a good talent, you have to compare it with the back and forth, and his life has been too hard. Now seeing him leave with a smile all over his face, he even gave birth to a trace of envy.

It's a great pleasure to have someone waiting at home after a long trip.

She stared at the back of Yan He's departure, and she suddenly heard Xiao Jue's voice: "Aren't you coming up yet?"

He Yan hurriedly retracted into the carriage.

Fei Nu and Chi Wu were driving outside, while He Yan and Xiao Jue sat in the carriage. From Rundu to Shuojing, the road was very lively. Yan Nanguang, Lin Shuanghe, Xiao Jue and He Yan were all classmates from the past, and together they could make a table to play leaf cards. I don't even feel that it is noisy on weekdays, but now everyone has dispersed, only she and Xiao Jue are in the carriage, the atmosphere is quiet, and I feel a little uncomfortable.

"What are you nervous about?" Xiao Jue asked casually, leaning against the carriage.

He Yan almost choked on his own saliva, and after dawdling for a long time, he said, "I haven't been to your house. I came here empty-handed for the first time. Xiao Jue, "Commander, why don't we wait and pass the store and buy some dim sum cloth as a gift for your family?"

Xiao Jue stared into her eyes and twitched the corners of her mouth, "Are you going to propose marriage? It's your first time to come to the door as a gift?"

"Don't you need it?" He Yan asked, "I haven't been a guest in someone else's house, so I don't know what to do when I'm a guest for the first time."

When they were "He Rufei" in the past, the He family was afraid that she would be exposed, so they didn't even make friends, not to mention visiting other people's houses. As He Yan all his life, he went directly to the barracks before he had time to understand how ordinary people make friends.

She was so serious, but Xiao Jue was speechless for a moment, and pushed her head to the side, "No need, just feel free."

"Commander, don't you still have Young Master Xiao and Grandma Xiao in your family?" He Yan recalled what Lin Shuanghe said before, and said, "It is said that Young Master Xiao is the first lover of a Wei woman's dream, is that true? Rumor has it that he Treating people very gently, never treating others harshly, a gentleman is as gentle as jade, but is it true?"

Xiao Jue said calmly, "Do you want to be my sister-in-law?"

"How is that possible?" He Yan immediately denied it, thinking that she was not Song Taotao, and was really not interested in another uncle like Xiao Jue, "I'm just curious. And Grandma Xiao, how is she? Would you like to meet him? He Yan hesitated for a while, "Men are better, but I really don't know how to deal with women. What does she like or dislike, lively or reserved? How can I talk to her to please her?"

Xiao Jue endured it, and finally said calmly: "If you please her, my eldest brother should be bad."

He Yan said "oh" and sat back in his seat, seemingly still thinking about it. Xiao Jue raised her eyebrows slightly, but He Yan had a lot of interest in "being a guest". That kind of excitement and nervousness, like a young child receiving an invitation to go to a friend's house for the first time, not only overwhelmed and afraid of making a mistake, but also vaguely happy and hopeful.

He Sui had only one son and one daughter. Compared with his son, the daughter who was very similar to his deceased wife was obviously more loved by the captain. The news from Luan Ying's inquiries is that He Yan used to be arrogant and arrogant, and sometimes he was vain. Although this may be the disguise of this fox, the neighbors near He's house said that He Yan still has some little sisters, even if The relationship is not very good.

But why do you have such an expression.

Xiao Jue could clearly see the emotions and contradictions deep in He Yan's heart, but he couldn't see the reason for it all. There always seemed to be a thick layer of fog covering He Yan, making many of her actions inexplicable. However, the more mysterious it is, the more attractive it is to approach, otherwise... being alone in the thick fog will always make people care about it and feel particularly pitiful.

While thinking about it, the carriage stopped at the entrance of Xiao Mansion. Fei Nu and Chiwu got off their horses, and before Xiao Jue and He Yan got out of the car, they heard an excited voice from outside: "Grandma, young master, second young master is back—"

Immediately afterwards, there was a loud noise from the house, as if someone had come. As soon as He Yan got off the carriage with Xiao Jue, the door of Xiao's house opened, and a few people walked out of it, and the one at the front was a young couple.

The man wears a round neck brocade robe with a blue color of Tianqing Lake. The woman beside him is beautiful and beautiful, with attractive eyebrows, and a snow-white skirt outlines a slender figure, like a tree of white pear flowers, with Qiongzhihua appearance. This is Xiao Jue's eldest brother Xiao Jing and his wife Bai Rongwei. He Yan has also heard the names of this couple, but seeing them is better than seeing them.

The Xiao family is really a place of beauty, one or two are so beautiful. He Yan thought to himself, she stepped in, not knowing if she was pulling the back of the appearance of the Xiao family's mansion.

"Huai Jin, you're back." Bai Rong smiled and said, "Your eldest brother has been reading every day a month ago, and he will be waiting in the mansion today when he is appointed. I am afraid that you will not be able to make it back to Shuojing tonight. catch up."

Xiao Jing also laughed, and when he laughed, he showed a pair of small tiger teeth, which made the gentle gentleman's gentleness contain a little more cuteness, "Just come back. Rong Wei cooked the food by himself, it's still hot, just waiting for you alone. Now. Fei Nu and Chiwu also have some food together. You have worked hard to take care of Huai Jin along the way."

Fei Nu and Chi Wu even said they did not dare.

Xiao Jue looked back at He Yan, who stood three steps away from him, respectful and polite. He said, "Come here."

He Yan stepped forward according to the words.

Xiao Jing and Bai Rong looked at each other slightly. They could see clearly just now that this young man got off the carriage with Xiao Jue. If it was a subordinate, it would probably be riding outside like Fei Nu Chiwu, and Xiao Jue himself was not a person who liked to be in contact with others. Sharing a carriage was already considered very close.

Xiao Jing asked, "Huai Jin, who is this son..."

"My friend, He Yan." Xiao Jue said.

He Yan saluted, "Eldest Young Master Xiao, Madam." After speaking, she couldn't help but secretly glanced at Xiao Jue, she thought that Xiao Jue would say that he was a subordinate and never wanted to throw a friend directly. This time, Xiao Jing and Bai Rongwei were a little surprised.

Bai Rongwei came back to his senses and said with a smile, "It was Huai Jin's friend, which is very strange. For so many years, except for Mr. Lin, he has never seen Huai Jin bring a friend to the house. Mr. He is Huai Jin in Liangzhou Wei. New friends from here?"

Before He Yan could answer, Xiao Jue said, "Sister-in-law, let's go into the room and talk."

"...Okay." Bai Rong smiled and glanced at Xiao Jing in confusion.

Xiao Jing gave her an expression that she didn't understand.

Xiao Jue not only brought a friend back to the house, but also seemed to maintain a lot of support for this friend. Both the husband and wife became curious about He Yan's identity. Could it be that he was a relative of a royal family that valued him so much? But is there such a person in Shuojing? And Xiao Jue doesn't have a good-natured temperament towards royal relatives.

not understand.

A few people came to the hall of Xiao's house. He Yan and Xiao Jue went to clean their hands first. The hall was brightly lit by lights, and the room was full of the aroma of food. The long table is full of various dishes. He Yan and Xiao Jue sat down at the table, Fei Nu and Chi Wu were also called by Bai Rongwei and moved two stools to sit aside.

He Yan's heart moved when he saw it. If it is rumored, Young Master Xiao treats the servants very well. If this was in the original He family, Mrs. He would have scolded him for being unruly.

The meals are all home-cooked dishes, which are not luxurious, but very delicate and delicious. He Yan was inexplicably nervous, picked up the chopsticks, and followed Xiao Jue's movements, eating in small bites.

The Xiao family doesn't have the rule of "eating, not speaking, sleeping, not speaking", even Xiao Jing, who seems to be gentle and polite, has become a chatterer when he gets to the dinner table, and keeps asking how Xiao Jue has been outside this year. .

"You didn't tell us about Jiyang before," Bai Rong said with a smile. "After the news came back to Shuojing, I realized that the situation was critical at the time. I know you were worried about Rubi, but in the future, don't worry about it. It's my own responsibility. After Rubi learned of this, if I hadn't stopped him, I'm really afraid that he would go to Liangzhou to find you by himself."

Xiao Jing coughed lightly, "I am also concerned about Huai Jin, but..." His eyes fell on He Yan, "I heard that when you were in Jiyang, one of your subordinates also made a contribution with you, and it was your majesty. Commendation, shouldn't it be this little boy?"

"It's down here." He Yan replied shyly, "It's also thanks to the Governor's promotion, but I actually didn't do anything."

Xiao Jue said lightly, "It's Chu Zilan who lifts you up, not me."

He Yan: "..."

At this time, it is not necessary to say so clearly.

Xiao Jing seemed to see something and shook his head with a smile, "Young Master He, Huai Jin can't speak, so don't be angry. But this is the first time he brought a friend to the house as a guest, so it can be seen that he really wants to befriend you."

"I..." He Yan was about to speak.

"She's not here as a guest," Xiao Jue interrupted her, "she's going to stay here for a while."

Xiao Jing and Bai Rong were slightly taken aback.

"To tell you the truth, I have already entrusted someone to find a suitable house in Shuojing, but I'm afraid it will be difficult to find a suitable house for a while. The Governor is kind-hearted and is willing to let me use the house for a few days. When the house is settled down, I'll move out immediately." He Yan was a little embarrassed, "In the past few days, I have to disturb the eldest son and wife."

Bai Rong smiled and said warmly: "Young Master He, don't be polite, he is Huai Jin's friend and also our friend. It is not easy to find a house in the city, and Young Master He regards this place as his home, and he can stay as long as he wants, as long as he wants. Some are fine."

He Yan responded gratefully. The Xiao family didn't know how to find a daughter-in-law. Among the young ladies of this big family, Bai Rongwei had the best temperament. It seemed that only a person with such temperament would be a good match for Xiao Jing. I heard that Bai Rongwei was a concubine at home back then, and when Xiao Jing's marriage was announced, the entire Shuojing was saying that Bai Rongwei's identity was not worthy of Xiao Jing, but He Yan now sees that Xiao Jing is indeed a good eye.

"Eat." Xiao Jue said, placing the folded milk skin in front of her.

He Yan quickly lowered his head to eat.

Just looking at the appearance, it is impossible to see that Xiao Jing is a chatterbox. During a meal, all Xiao Jing is talking non-stop. Asking this and asking that, even Xiao Jue had to ask how many quilts were built in Liangzhou Wei in winter. If it wasn't for Bai Rongwei pulling him, he would have been able to talk longer.

This is probably the feeling of "family"? He Yan looked at them with a hint of envy in his heart.

After eating, Bai Rong got up and said, "We have taught the servants to clean Huaijin's house every day. We have just sent people to boil the hot water. After Huaijin has finished tidying up, he will rest early tonight, you guys. It's a hard journey, so first recharge your batteries, and if you have anything to do tomorrow, you'll have enough sleep." He looked at He Yan again, "There are empty rooms and yard in the house, just halfway through the meal, I asked the servants to clean it up. The yard There is no one else in the house except for the two maids, and Young Master He lives in it with peace of mind."

When He Yan heard this, he felt that Bai Rongwei was really considerate. Just as he was about to thank him, Xiao Jue said, "No need."

Everyone looked at him.

"There is a vacant room in my yard, she will live in my yard." Xiao Jue said.

"Cough cough cough—" Chi Wu, who was walking behind, coughed.

Bai Rongwei and Xiao Jue didn't think of anything else, they were just a little surprised, but soon, Xiao Jing smiled and said, "If that's the case, that's fine. You live in the same yard, and it's convenient to discuss anything."

Chiwu's face showed despair.

Xiao Jue settled down, of course He Yan had no reason to refute. After Bai Rongwei and Xiao Jing left, she followed Xiao Jue to his yard step by step, and asked quietly on the way, "Commander, why do I want to share a yard with you?"

Now it is neither in Liangzhouwei nor in Jiyang, there are so many houses, between men and women... It is better to pay attention to some proportions.

Xiao Jue glanced at her, "Do you really want your identity to be exposed?"

He Yan was stunned.

"There is no other servant in my yard."

He Yan understood and thought so too. If you live in another yard, it is inevitable that you will not be negligent and exposed occasionally. If it is discovered by the Xiao family's maid... It will not be a good thing after all. Living in Xiao Jue's yard is happy and peaceful.

Xiao Jue's yard is in the middle of the house. It is spacious and bright. It is not as elegant and simple as Yang Mingzhi's mansion, nor as luxurious and luxurious as Cui Yuezhi's mansion. Probably because no one has lived here for a long time, it looks a bit empty and deserted. . Although it was clean and tidy, as soon as I walked in, although it was summer, I didn't feel hot, but rather cool.

Passing through the flower wall is the main room. There is a pomegranate tree next to the main room. It has produced very small fruits. It is swaying and hanging on the tip, like a half-fist-sized lantern swaying, very cute.

"Is this the yard you live in?" He Yan turned to look at him, "Commander, did you live here when you were a child?"

She was standing under the tree, with a fruit hanging on her head, like a bunch of gourds, Xiao Jue was a little funny, and replied: "No, I didn't live in the mansion when I was young, I live here, I'm already in my teens later on."

Xiao Jue used to live on the mountain, and He Yan had also vaguely heard about it. It is said that Xiao Zhongwu invited a famous person to teach him civil and martial arts on the mountain. Thinking like this, Xiao Jue is even more pitiful than her. Although she can't be called her biological parents, she lives in a mansion after all, so she can't see her when she looks up. Xiao Jue is a child. On the mountain, Xiao Zhongwu can't go up the mountain to see him all the time. It is pitiful to be alone.

He Yan wanted him to be happy, turned his head and pointed to the lowest pomegranate and asked, "Will this be ready to eat after a while? Have you ever eaten the pomegranate on this tree? Is it sweet?"

"You just want to eat?" Xiao Jue raised her eyebrows, "It's sour."

"You must be lying to me." He Yan disagreed, "If it was sour, you should have cut down this tree long ago, why did it stay for so long."

Xiao Jue snorted, "Not all people plant trees for food."

"What's the difference between planting trees for eating and planting grass?" He Yan raised his head and looked at the pomegranate at the top of the tree. This pomegranate should be the largest on the tree. The red and plump skin was faintly visible, He Yan reached out and pulled it, but the branch was too high, she jumped to pick it, but still couldn't pick it.

The next moment, someone stood behind her, stretched out his hand, and pulled the pomegranate branches down to where she could touch them.

A clear temperature came from behind, followed by warmth and heat. He Yan's whole body froze. He turned around subconsciously, almost smashed his foot, and was pulled up by Xiao Jue's arm. He lowered his eyes and asked, "You can't even walk Won't go?"

He Yan coughed loudly twice, "I am, I didn't stand still."

"Aren't you picking?" Xiao Jue motioned to He Yan to look at the branch that was pulled from his hand.

"No, I won't pick it anymore." He Yan defended, "I didn't want to pick it, it's not ripe yet. I'll pick it when it's fully cooked, it will be sweeter."

She herself didn't know what kind of nonsense she was talking about, but she felt nervous all over her body when she met those long eyes that were as clear as autumn water. In order to cover up, He Yan immediately turned his head and said loudly, "Which room do I live in? I want to go to freshen up first."

Xiao Jue pointed to a room, and He Yan rushed to the room without stopping, as if a ghost was chasing him behind him. Then the whole yard only heard a "bang", and her door was closed.

Xiao Jue: "..."

He stood where he was, staring at He Yan's door, and after a while, he looked at the pomegranate tree in front of him, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly, and he smiled.

In the distance, Chiwu and Fei Nu huddled at the gate of the courtyard, neither entering nor not entering. The only good thing is that as long as Xiao Jue returns to the mansion, all the servants in the yard will be driven out, so as not to see this embarrassing scene of bewilderment.

Chiwu said with a trembling voice, "They...they..."

"Don't talk." Fei Nu interrupted him.

"How could you not speak!" Chiwu lowered his voice, unable to hide the anger and anger on his face, "It was okay to be in Jiyang and Liangzhouwei before, but now he has returned to Shuojing...to be so blatant...surnamed He Are you crazy?"

Fei Nu hesitated.

"I know that when he was in Jiyang, he pretended to be a woman enough to exchange a fake for the real, but after all, he was not a real woman. Now the eldest young master and young lady don't know about this, what if they did?"

Fei Nu tried to comfort the restless companion, "You are thinking too much about this matter, but it's not that serious."

"What do you know!" Chi Wu said, "Young master asked us to check the surname He in the past three days and two times. It can be seen that the surname He's body is not clean, otherwise why would it be like this. If he is honest and innocent, I also recognize him. "..." Having said this, Chiwu's voice actually choked, "If you have no other purpose in approaching the young master, the young master is more concerned about him right now... I am afraid that he is even more concerned than the Xu family's Hanlin scholar's dead wife! "

Fei Nu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but he reminded him of another thing, and whispered: "Speaking of which, the young master has returned to Beijing, and Luan Ying and the others should also come back. When Luan Ying returns, we have something to do. "

Chiwu: subway, old man, mobile phone. JPG
