The author has something to say:

After walking slowly for a day, we finally entered the border of Kuaiji County in the evening.By the time we reached Dongshan, it was already dark.On a quiet night in the countryside, two or three lights in the small mountain village intersect with the lake water to give off a little light.The stars above the head are vast and boundless, just like hundreds of millions of years.

With a cautious style, Cong Cang asked beside him: "Should the subordinate go to find out the situation first?"

"No need." I threw off my cloak, and walked quickly into the yard with Sun Li in my arms.

The gate of the courtyard was already open, and the attendant who was watching the night with the big lantern saw us and hurried forward: "Who are you... Ah, it's the young lady who is back!"

I said: "Treat them well, arrange accommodation for these few, don't neglect them."

For a while, the lights in the courtyard flickered, people came and went, and the stewards were busy arranging food and drinks for the guests.After listening to the excitement, grandma came out of the main room tremblingly leaning on a cane. She complained: "This child! When I come back, I will send someone to keep silent."

I held Sun Li in my arms, and came to grandma happily: "Because it's a surprise! Grandma, come and see your great-grandson!"

"Hey, okay, okay, come on, let me take a closer look."

Two maids came to pick up the luggage and lead us to the room.Yu Lu noticed that the number of attendants was pitifully small, and I couldn't help frowning slightly: "Grandma, where are all the attendants?"

Grandma said: "There are so many people making noise, my old lady doesn't like it, so I let them all go home. Alan wants them to come back, let Xiao Zhang bring them back tomorrow."

"Where can it be, grandma, come here as you please."

"Come on, don't patronize and talk, go into the room first. Oh, you don't want to sit in a carriage, and the wind blows this night, and you will have a headache."

I laughed and walked to the room holding my grandmother's arm: "It's okay, grandma, your grandson and I have always been as strong as a cow."

The old man kept blaming me for not coming back for a year, and repeatedly praised Sun Lisheng for his good work.I was drinking hot tea and heard her praise the brat into a flower, and laughed: "Grandma, the boy can't help you praise like this, how beautiful he will think of himself as a daughter tomorrow."

Grandma carefully arranged Sun Li's clothes, and touched his tender face from time to time: "How can a mother say that the child is not good, you, the child's heart."

"No." I muttered, "Grandma, how is your old health these days?"

"Grandma is fine." She brought me a plate of dried fruit, and looked at me lovingly: "It's our Alan, the married little girl who splashed the water, who doesn't come home for a long time, how does Xinke treat you well? "

I smiled, "He is so good. No, I just went back to his old lady and asked him to marry him again, saying that his aunt and cousin kissed him."

She sat next to me and sighed: "You must take it easy. Xinke is more than ten thousand people in Jiangdong. It is justifiable to have a few more women around you. Fortunately, my uncle values ​​you, so you have to do your best." Divide the bride."

I lowered my head and fiddled with the bow on my clothes belt, speechless for a while.

Grandma pulled my hair lovingly: "I must be tired today. Grandma has someone to fetch hot water for washing. You should go to bed earlier."

Ever since Le Ling and I separated, Sun Li had to wake up to eat in the middle of the night, and finally he had someone to take care of him today, so I rarely slept well.When I woke up in the morning, my grandmother hadn’t gotten up yet, so I tiptoedly put on my clothes and stepped out of the house. It was still daylight, and the servants who prepared breakfast had just started their day’s work.

When I came to the kitchen, the two maids who were concentrating on washing the pots and stoves were both startled, and they greeted me: "I've met Miss."

I rolled up my sleeves with an armband, tied the knot with my teeth, and asked her two vague questions: "I forgot to order last night. I wonder if there is chicken in the kitchen today?"

"There are some."

"That's good," I geared up and ordered the two of them to prepare a meal for me. I steamed a bowl of tender egg and meat mash for Sun Li, fried two poached eggs for my grandma and myself, and added two more bowls Soup noodles.By the way, I also marinated the fried meat for lunch and put it in the pot.

Hurriedly returning to the house with a love breakfast in hand, grandma was dressing Sun Li.

At this moment, the kid was stripped down to his bellyband, and he opened his mouth and yawned. When he saw me approaching with a sneaky smile on my tray, he turned his head and ignored me in disdain.

I complained to my grandma with a full face of grievance: "This child often despises me, grandma, did you see it just now?"

"What's the matter, Alan, hold the water basin for Grandma, and help him wipe his face."

After washing his face, I took out gauze from my carry-on luggage, gave Sun Li a sip of boiling water, and cleaned his gums carefully.

"What is Alan doing?"

"He's teething, and I'm afraid he's getting tooth decay. Children, if they don't drink milk, they'll love messy snacks."

Grandma hesitated: "Is the baby weaned?"

"Hehe, it's okay, he's almost nine months old." At this moment, I realized that I had slipped my mouth just now, and I couldn't help but hang my head guiltily.

Her face became serious.

The sons and gentlemen of these rich families drink milk until they don’t like it. There are even stories about seven-year-old boys who still hug their nanny and refuse to let go. He immediately asked, "Are you having trouble with the new customer?"

I presented the noodles to her: "Grandma, eat the noodles, if you don't eat the noodles, you will be lumpy."

She was obviously full of worry: "Alan, when you wrote to grandma, you always said yes, but now you don't want to say anything?"

I was just about to explain, when a servant girl came in hurriedly: "Mrs. Mrs. Tai, miss, my uncle is here."

I sneered, and fed the meat paste to Sun Li. He licked it, turned his head away in distaste, and said "uh", pouting his mouth and refusing to eat any more.I took another spoonful and put it into his mouth: "You and your stinky father have the same virtues, and you hate this dish after eating it once. Love the new and dislike the old."

"Alan, since my uncle is here, go and have a look. I'll take care of you." Grandma said worriedly.

"No," I didn't raise my head: "You don't care what he does, I'm not afraid now..."

The door was pushed open from the outside, and an extremely cold voice answered my words: "Aren't you afraid of anything?"

I might as well let him enter the inner courtyard so quickly, put down the spoon, and stare at him for a moment without saying a word.

According to Sun Quan's temperament, he always has to do enough superficial skills.At this moment, he asked his grandmother how he was, and stretched out his hand to hug Sun Li on the bed.The stinky boy has no position, and immediately smiles when he sees his father.

I couldn't get used to the filial appearance of the two fathers, so I turned my head aside.

He turned around and handed Sun Li into his grandmother's arms: "Madam Tai please take care of Ah Li first, I have a few words to say to Guanglan."

"Hey, good. Then you guys talk first, Ah Li and mother-in-law go outside to have a look at the big white goose."

"Bring this bowl of food, and the young master must finish it." I grabbed the cup and handed it to the maidservant, carefully instructing me.

Everyone backed away, and I walked over to the window and pushed the shutters a little to let more light into the room.

"You have nothing to say to me?" He shook off his cloak and threw it on the screen behind the bed.

I lowered my eyes and looked at him secretly: his hair was wet and his face was pale, it must be because of traveling all night.So he asked, "Have you had breakfast? Here, I ordered noodles."

He took a cup of tea and rinsed his mouth, sat down and picked up his chopsticks: "Come here."

I obediently sat down across from him, thinking about which way to resolve the embarrassment of being speechless.

Thinking of the scene where the two of them ate together for the first time, it seems to be still vivid in my mind.That time, he gave me cloth dishes without any hesitation, and talked to me about some boring topics.Although boring, and perhaps a bit of a strange sense of oppression, but from another point of view, it is also considered relaxed and unburdened.But now, how can I eat with him calmly?

He has always been good at filling up a long banquet, and I can't imitate his natural deliberation.I joked that a military general doesn't eat like a military general like a counselor, but he seriously asked how a general should eat.

Then I suggested that he go back and find Sun Shangxiang to perform for him.

He said, many generals under my command are all gentle and gentle in front of me.I expressed my disbelief, and he promised that he would take me to the New Year's celebration banquet in the future, and then he could verify his statement as openly as possible, instead of hiding behind a screen with his little sister and snooping wretchedly.

……

I pulled my thoughts away from the old trivialities, smiled at the person opposite, and asked, "Is it delicious?"

He shook his head: "Don't do such things in the future."

"Why?" I was puzzled, "It's delicious, isn't it very fragrant?"

"These... don't suit your status. You are the wife of the general in the future. Cooking is not what you should do."

I lowered my face and said, "Don't say those crazy words, why do you think I left without saying goodbye?"

"You are very brave. You have turned Wu County upside down and made a big mess for me to clean up. Now that you are here, you can still be confident with me."

I shrugged: "Since that's the case, it's the most enjoyable if you just shoot and break up."

He narrowed his eyes: "Oh? Then you take your son out to wander around, have you considered him?"

I laughed viciously, "You said I couldn't protect Ah Li's safety, but I would like to ask, what kind of thunder did your Mrs. Xu use to beat up my maid who took care of Ah Li."

He looked surprised, as if he had just heard about it.

I laughed: "Don't you believe it, the general?"

He slowly put down his chopsticks: "I believe."

I squinted and said: "Then it's best, I thought you would point at me and say that I was talking nonsense, after all, I don't have any evidence in hand."

"In your eyes, am I so untrustworthy?"

I couldn't help laughing: "Everyone, do you trust me? General Sun, I didn't want to tear my skin apart so I chose to leave without saying goodbye. Now it seems that I wasted my time...I admit that I took your son away without authorization and took it away. Taking away the relics of the great governor will cause you a little trouble by the way. How to deal with it is up to you."

"Alan!" He looked distressed, "I don't need you to make up for the mistakes you made, I just want you to come home with me."

I was extremely impatient: "Please don't talk like that? The general doesn't understand what I say, or he doesn't want to listen. I absolutely can't go back with you."

"You..." He stood up abruptly, flicking his sleeves: "What are you going to do, Zhou Lan? I have already promised to let the past go, you can just keep Gongjin's jade."

I stood up slowly and looked up at him in surprise: "Such tolerance and generosity, why should you give it to me? It's too special, too retreating, and too inappropriate."

He stepped across the carpet and walked in front of me, holding my arms: "Alan, don't mess around, come back with me."

I dare not look him in the eye, I almost agree with him.But as soon as I reached out and touched the jade pendant in my sleeve pocket, I suddenly had the strength to break free from him.I asked him, "Do you like me?"

"I don't want to lose you." There was sadness in his glazed green eyes, "Don't look at me like this, you want to break my heart."

I asked him again: "Do you like me?"

"Alan..."

"Hush." ​​I put my finger on his lips, "Let me assume, suppose you like me. Then why do you like me, General? It's because I was born beautiful, and there are many beautiful women around the General Go, oh, because I am innocent and cute, no, I am not innocent at all.

"It's self-evident to us what that jade pendant means. Power, army, military force... I like these things, I'm not naive at all, why do you think I have to label you as a general? You are not Mr. Pianpianjia, you are not all-rounder in civil and military affairs, but you are the unique General Sun in Jiangdong. Power, yes, it can bring wealth and glory."

His face was full of astonishment, and there was something called "disillusionment" in his eyes.

I picked up his face and traced his outline with my fingertips, such sharp features, his forehead showed his cruelty, and his lips showed his ruthlessness... Ah, the skill of physiognomy is sometimes unreliable.
