Chapter 32 My General Cousin 06
Chu Chu returned to Shuiyun Pavilion, this time Wen Ling left without turning around, it wasn't Chu Chu watching his back as he left, but Wen Ling watched her walk into the courtyard gate, and then stood for a while before leaving.

Moonlight closed the window, and said to Chu Chu who was sitting on the chair in a daze, "Miss, the general is gone."

Chu Chu hummed: "Moonlight, isn't this a dream?"

Moonlight laughed: "It's not a dream, Miss, you have fulfilled your wish, and you are really going to marry the general."

Chu Chu smiled slightly, and buried her head on the table, preventing Hua Rong and Yue Guang from seeing how happy she was smiling at the moment.

"I'm so happy, really. I've liked him for so many years, and I finally..." Chu Chu was really uncontrollably happy. It wasn't her own emotions, but the remaining will of Yun Chu Chu in this body, what she left behind My wish was to marry Wenling, but I never thought that my wish would come true.

The overly happy Chu Chu didn't fall asleep until late at night. She didn't know that when he was tossing and turning, there was a person in the east of Wen's mansion who couldn't sleep like her.

But he didn't force himself to fall asleep. Instead, he sat up, put on his coat and went to the small study next to him, rubbing ink and brush, and carefully drew the outline of a woman on the drawing paper.

In the middle of the night, the woman in the painting basically took shape, with a clear and beautiful face.

She was sitting at the small table, pouring tea with her downcast eyes, her fingers were slender, her face was like jade, and her temperament was natural.

Thinking about it carefully, he paid so much attention to her from the moment he walked in the door that morning, this extra attention was like a seedling hidden in his heart, it grew stronger day by day, and finally became so serious that he could no longer ignore it.

So when the boy told him that Chu Mingzhou had sent a dowry to marry her, he panicked for the first time in his life and walked out without thinking about anything. agree to come down.

At dawn, Wen Ling went to bed and fell asleep for a while.

In the morning, Chu Chu went to Ruyi Xuan to greet her as usual, and after drinking tea for a while, Mrs. Wen brought up the agenda of getting married.

"I'll ask Master to do the math. The tenth day of the next month is an auspicious day. It's a good time to get married. The day is set on this day. How about it?"

Chu Chu's face was flushed, she lowered her head, and answered in a low voice: "En."

"Ling'er went to court early, but I sent Nanny Qin to inform him about this beforehand. Do you know what he said?" Mrs. Wen asked Chu Chu with a smile.

Chu Chu shook her head.

"He said, it's great. Ling'er has always been strict and dull, but he rarely says these two words. Since he said it, it means he is really happy. It's great that you two can be in love with each other."

Hearing this, the corners of Chu Chu's mouth rose slightly, and her eyes were filled with satisfaction and sweetness.

Chu Chu stayed in Ruyixuan for lunch before leaving. Not long after she returned to Shuiyun Pavilion, Huarong came in excitedly and said, "The general is here."

Chu Chu was startled, she got up quickly, and saw Wen Ling walking in with a calm pace, and when she saw Chu Chu, her brows and eyes softened silently.

Hua Rong went to serve tea to the two of them, Wen Ling sat across from Chu Chu, and said: "Mother has set our wedding on the tenth day of the next lunar month, can I tell you?"

Chu Chu nodded.

Wen Ling looked at the girl with drooping eyes in front of him, he didn't know what to say for a moment, he was inexperienced and didn't know how to make her happy, the atmosphere was silent at this moment, he couldn't help feeling a little annoyed at his stupidity.

"I... Chuchu, I may not be very good at speaking... sweet words, but... I..."

Chu Chu saw that the man who was all-powerful on the battlefield was hesitating and stumbling in front of her, and he looked embarrassed at the end, she couldn't help snorting and laughing out loud.

She understood what Wen Ling meant, and also knew that with his character, these words were a bit blatant.

Chu Chu stared at Wen Ling and said softly, "I know."

Wen Ling was startled, seeing her gaze with such gentle and tolerant eyes, his heart couldn't help but rippling, and he heard his own heartbeat speeding up again.

"Wenling's favorability has increased by 5, and the current favorability is 85."

"There is a Lantern Festival in the capital tonight, my cousin will go with me, okay?" Chu Chu frowned slightly and said with a smile.

Wen Ling also smiled, "Okay."

As time passed and night gradually fell, Chu Chu looked at the sky outside the window, took a final sip of rouge, and confirmed that there was no flaw in herself in the mirror before she stood up and walked outside.

She wanted to go to Li Shangxuan and wait for Wenling, but she never thought that as soon as she left the courtyard, she would see a man standing in front of the door with a straight and upright posture.

He changed his clothes. The man who usually wore black in the past was now wearing a sky-blue brocade robe with cloud patterns. Compared with the calm and serious look before, he looked a little more youthful and bright.

In fact, he was a teenager, but his father passed away early, and he also assumed the responsibility of the family too early, so he became more mature and stable, and he no longer saw the freedom and unruliness of his youth.

Chu Chu approached: "Cousin, have you been waiting for a long time?"

Wen Ling shook his head: "It's not long, let's go."

The two walked side by side, wearing clothes of the same color, with their figures leaning on each other. Walking on the street, they looked like an enviable couple.

When Chu Chu was in university, the school held a celebration similar to the Lantern Festival, but it was far from the grandness and charm of the present. There are hawkers on both sides of the street, most of them are selling lanterns, and there are also a few selling other gadgets. Wearing an antique tunic and gown, his posture has a calm and elegant posture that most modern people do not have.

There were a lot of people on the street, and the further you walked, the more crowded it became. When two or three children bumped away from her and Wen Ling playfully, and they were almost lost in the crowd, Wen Ling subconsciously grabbed her hand and pulled her away. back.

Chu Chu's nose bumped against his hard chest, she raised her head and met his gaze.

The people and voices around him seemed to disappear completely in an instant, and Chu Chu heard the sound of his own heartbeat.

Once, twice, faster and faster.

"Let's go." Wen Ling stopped talking unnaturally.

Chu Chu replied shyly: "Yes."

The hands of the two never let go from the beginning to the end, and they have been holding each other tightly.Walking from the street to the end of the street, it seems like a whole life, just like that.

Chu Chu put up the lantern, stood on the bank and watched it slowly go away, occasionally turned her head, and could see Wen Ling standing behind her with calm and gentle eyes, and the softness in her heart called happiness.

"Every Lantern Festival from now on, can my cousin stay with me?" Chu Chu said to Wen Ling when she returned.

Wen Ling held her hand and replied softly: "Okay."

The promise made at night was not fulfilled in the first year because of an accident. The army general Wu Hui, who had been guarding the border, rebelled against foreign countries. The Holy One was furious, and sent Wen Ling to quell the rebellion, and demanded that Wu Hui's head be removed and brought back. the capital.

That day, the sky was full of dark clouds, and the lightning pierced the sky and struck the earth. Not long after, heavy rain poured down with the rumbling thunder.

Mrs. Wen sent someone to tell her that it was raining heavily, so there was no need to greet her.

Looking at the gloomy weather outside the window, Chu Chu suddenly had an ominous premonition in her heart, always feeling that something big would happen.

Sure enough, Huarong walked in hurriedly and whispered in her ear: "There is a rebellion in the frontier, and the general is ordered to quell it."

After hearing this, Chu Chu was silent for a long time.

"Where is cousin now?"

Huarong replied: "The Holy Emperor's order is to set off immediately. He may have already led the army out of the city."

Chu Chu got up, "Prepare the car and go to the city gate."

Huarong said anxiously: "Miss, it's raining heavily outside, even I'm so cold that I wish I could wear more clothes, what if you catch cold in your body, you better not go out."

Chu Chu ignored Huarong's advice and insisted on going out. She put on her cloak and just opened her umbrella when she saw a man stepping into the yard, wearing an animal-faced armor and a red cloak.

She was stunned for a moment, then threw away her umbrella and ran towards him stepping on the rain.

Wenling caught the girl running towards him and hugged her tightly: "When I come back and return in triumph, it will be the time for me to marry you."

"kindness."

"Next year's Lantern Festival...sorry, I'm going to miss the appointment."

"It's ok."

"General, we should go." The lieutenant behind him reminded.

Wen Ling let go of Chu Chu, and stared down at her rain-stained face, he stretched out his hand to wipe off the water drops on her face, then suddenly lowered his head and kissed her hard.

"Wenling's favorability has increased by 5, and the current favorability is 90."

Feeling his ferocity and reluctance, Chu Chu slowly closed her eyes, enduring the sweetness before parting.

Wen Ling hadn't kissed for a long time, and he still carried the sacred mandate and the trust of the soldiers. He gave her a deep look at the end, and then turned and left.

Looking at his figure going away in the torrential rain, Chu Chu suddenly shouted loudly: "You must come back, otherwise... otherwise I will marry Chu Mingzhou."

Wen Ling's footsteps paused, but he didn't look back, and continued to walk forward. Only the lieutenant beside him heard the soft murmur that was almost buried in the sound of rain——

"it is good."

I don't know if it means that he will definitely come back, or if he doesn't come back, she will be allowed to marry Chu Mingzhou.

Chu Chu was still standing in the rain, Moonlight quickly picked up an umbrella to cover Chu Chu, she said softly: "Miss, the general has gone through so many wars, and he returns safely with glory every time, you don't have to worry too much, Yu Liang , let's go into the house quickly, we must stay healthy and wait for the general to come back, right?"

Chu Chu didn't speak, and followed the moonlight into the house.

Two years later, cold winter.

The plum blossoms planted in the yard stand proudly on the branches. Even in the hazy heavy snow, their beauty cannot be concealed. You can see the bright red clusters one after another at a glance.

Chu Chu stepped on the snow, looked at the footprints left by every step, and remembered that winter, she followed her cousin every day, stepping on his footprints, step by step, with a joy that only she knew .

She couldn't help bending her eyes and smiling, that smile was actually a bit brighter than the plum blossoms on the branches.

I was dumbfounded by the moonlight, my young lady is really getting brighter day by day.

Back at Shuiyun Pavilion, Moonlight hurriedly stuffed Mrs. Tang into Chuchu's arms, for fear that she would catch a cold. Two years ago, when the general went to war, the young lady fell ill because of the rain, and lay in bed for half a year. It got better.

Chuchu sat in front of the window, looking at the plum blossoms outside. The flowers bloomed one after another. When will the person she misses come back?
At this moment, Hua Rong hurried in, her footsteps could be heard outside, and she could only hear her shouting: "Miss! Miss! The general is back!"

Chu Chu got up suddenly, the movement was so loud that the tea on the table was spilled.

Huarong panted and said: "I heard that the head of the traitor was also brought back, but..."

Chu Chu frowned: "Just what?"

Huarong hesitated to speak, but became anxious when he saw the moonlight, and urged: "Huarong, speak quickly."

Huarong gritted her teeth: "The general was stabbed by the traitor, and when he was sent back, he was already dying."

Chuchu's brain slammed, and in an instant, she couldn't hear any outside sound, and only those four words remained in the whole world.

dying.

She ran out suddenly, Huarong and Yueguang hurriedly chased her out: "Miss, please slow down."

When Chuchu arrived at Lishangxuan, the guards wanted to stop her, but they hesitated when they saw her red eyes.

"Get out of the way!" Chu Chu roared.

The two guards glanced at each other, and finally chose to let go. This is the future general's wife, although the general may...

Chuchu hurried all the way to Wenling's bedroom. When she opened the door and entered, she smelled a strong smell of blood and faint medicinal herbs.

The imperial doctor said to Mrs. Wen solemnly: "The accompanying imperial doctor in the barracks has bandaged General Wen and the bleeding has stopped, but the wound became infected on the way back to Beijing. In addition to external medicine, you have to take traditional Chinese medicine to inhibit bacteria. , but the general is delirious at this time, and he can’t drink the medicine at all. According to the doctor Guo who accompanied him, they tried many times, but they couldn’t feed the medicine to the general.”

Mrs. Wen clenched the brocade handkerchief in her hand: "My son, what should I do... Doctor Lin, is there really nothing I can do?"

Imperial Physician Lin shook his head: "Only the general's wound infection medicine soup can eradicate it."
