I heard that the bamboo horse has a crush on me

At this moment, Lu Lin has only one thought in his heart - I didn't expect you to be such a General Shen.

"What's your expression?" Shen Bi was unaware of his slander.

"...It's nothing. This subordinate is resigning!" Lu Lin hurriedly backed away, fearing that Shen Bi would say something stupid again.

Shen Bi picked up the letter and read it again. The whole letter was concise and brief, and there was nothing else except explaining the transfer of troops.It has been ten months since the two separated last time, Shen Bi did not expect that Ji Beicheng's letter didn't even have a single word of greeting.

His mood at this moment is very similar to when he was a child, waiting for his mother to come back from outside and bring him a bunch of candied haws, but in the end, his mother returned empty-handed.

Shen Bi sighed, put down the letter, and decided not to think about it anymore.

At this time, Jing Xiu came in holding a delicately carved box, seeing that Shen Bi was unaware of his arrival, and his eyes were only fixed on the letter on the table, he couldn't help but stretched his head to take a look. Before Bi Huishen put away the letter with lightning speed, he only saw the character Ji.

Jing Xiu put down the box, looked at Shen Bi's face, and said, "The general seems very unhappy. If there is anything, you can talk to Jing Xiu." He glanced at the letter under Shen Bi's arm again, Guessing, "Is it a letter from Mr. Ji?"

Shen Bi nodded.

Jing Xiu said with a smile: "It is said that people are as they are, Mr. Ji must also be a gentleman, there must be many girls who like him? I guess, he must have a sweetheart."

"Why?"

Jing Xiu was confused by Shen Bi's thoughtless rhetorical question.Unexpectedly, Shen Bi asked again, "Why do you say he has a sweetheart?"

After hearing this, Jing Xiu said with a smile: "Although I haven't met Mr. Ji, his voice should be louder than Lord Hou's. Since he has reached the marriageable age, his family must have arranged for him a marriage. .”

Shen Bi listened silently, without speaking.

Jing Xiu pushed the box brought in just now to Shen Bi, "I got this by chance in Fuzhou City today, and I will give it to Lord Hou."

Shen Bi didn't intend to ask for it, and declined, "There are everything in the Hou's mansion, and there are many things that you don't need in the army..."

Jing Xiu insisted, "Master Hou, let's open it first! What if you like it?"

Shen Bi opened the box according to his words, and inside was an inkstone, which was white and transparent, crystal clear and moist.With just one glance, he knew that this thing was very expensive and extremely rare.

"This jade inkstone is priceless, where did you get the money to buy it?" Shen Bi didn't believe his words.

"Is it so valuable? I really don't know." Jing Xiu scratched his head and said shyly, "My father picked it up at the seaside when he was fishing. It has been kept at home and covered with a thick layer of dust. I will go The first time I went back, I turned it out, thinking that I would not need it, Hou Ye’s pen and ink are excellent, and the sword is just a gift for a hero.”

"Take it back! This Marquis can't take it." Shen Bi pushed the jade inkstone to him.

"Master Hou is very kind to me, not to mention an inkstone, even if it takes Jing Xiu's life, it is all right!" Jing Xiu pushed the inkstone over again, "If Lord Hou thinks it is expensive, then reward me with something valuable. , how are you?"

Shen Bi couldn't bear to brush his mind, and nodded his head.

Only then did Jing Xiu show off his face, but his words added a lot of sadness, "Master Hou, I'm leaving."

"Go?" Shen Bi looked up at him in surprise, puzzled, "Why do you want to go? But you are not used to living in the army? If so, I will ask Uncle Fu to arrange you..."

"No." Jing Xiu smiled, "My brother and sister-in-law are going to move to Luzhou. I thought about it for a long time and decided to go together."

"So that's how it is." Shen Bi understood, she had no intention of keeping him at all, and immediately nodded, "That's why you gave me this?"

"Yeah." Jing Xiu lowered his head, "It's just this farewell, I don't know when we will see each other again!"

"There will always be a chance to meet."

"See you next time, Master Hou will go to my hometown with me, how about it?" Jing Xiu raised his head, eyes full of hope.

Shen Bi nodded, "Okay."

Jing Xiu was overjoyed when he heard the words, "Master Hou promised, don't go back on your word when the time comes!"

"Of course not."

Two months later, the birthday of the Empress Dowager came again.It happened once a year, Shen Bi felt very conscious that before the imperial decree came, he had already packed his things and was ready to leave at any time.It's just that when he entered Beijing this time, his heart felt unspeakably heavy. He had long wanted to ask Lin Rongchen about Shen Qiuhong's expedition to Japan, but he didn't want to hear that answer, so he dragged on for so long.Now that he entered Beijing, he had to face what he had to face.

It was the first time he felt the words "feeling timid near the hometown".

Coincidentally, as soon as they arrived outside the city, they met a group of people from Jibei City.

Shen Bi wondered if Lu Lin had revealed the time of his return to Beijing to Ji Beicheng, otherwise why did he happen to meet him at the gate of the city?In fact, Shen Bi really wronged Lu Lin this time, it was pure accident that the two teams met outside the city.

"General, don't look at me like that! This really has nothing to do with me." Lu Lin quickly explained.

Before Shen Bi could speak, he saw Yuan Qi coming on horseback, and shouted at the dozens of people blocking the door: "Don't you have eyes? Why don't you hurry up and let Lord Hou enter the city first! Lord Hou, please!"

Yuan Qi rode his horse back two steps, made a way out, turned around and told the left and right, "Your Majesty and our general have been childhood sweethearts since we were young, we have no guesses, and we are married... like a family."

From knowing that the person his general likes is Marquis Shen, to accepting this matter and admitting that they were engaged, Yuan Qi spent quite a long time in mental construction.

One of his advantages is that he will completely agree with what he decides to accept.At this moment, when he opened his mouth, he didn't know what he was talking about. When he realized it, he said everything that should be said and shouldn't be said.Fortunately, he was able to make up for it in time, and the elder who pulled the word "pro" added four words in time.After finishing speaking, he secretly looked at Shen Bi, and was relieved to see his calm expression, he probably didn't hear clearly!

"The next time you encounter this kind of thing, you must put Hou Ye first, remember?"

"Yes!"

Shen Bi's expression was calm the whole time, and he glanced at the other party's men and horses, but did not see Ji Beicheng.

Yuan Qi caught his gaze and explained, "General Ji is behind, he should be here soon."

Shen Bi nodded at Yuan Qi, and rode his horse into the city, as if he hadn't heard what Yuan Qi said at all.

On the other hand, Lu Lin, afraid that he could not manage his expression well, showed some kind of smile that shouldn't be shown, and quietly took two steps back, changing from keeping pace with Shen Bi to following behind him.

He just came to Beijing and met such like-minded people, he couldn't help but give Yuanqi a knowing smile.

Shen Bi entered the city leisurely, but there was one thing that puzzled him.In the past, when returning to Beijing, although there were people watching along the road, most of them were women, but it was not as grand as it is today.This posture makes him look like a monkey.

In fact, only half of the onlookers came to eat melons. Many people still remember the incident of the Lantern Festival on the Lantern Festival, and heard that the two met outside the city and entered the city at the same time. What happened to the righteous master who was still active in the after-dinner conversations of the people in the capital?

As for the other half of the people, it's purely for fun—where there are more people, that's right.

"Hey, tell me, how are Master Hou and General Ji doing now?"

"I heard that General Ji wrote letters to Lord Hou every day, 360 days a day non-stop! Tsk tsk... It's a pity, Lord Hou never agreed."

"Really? Why did I hear that the two got together after the river lantern was released last time?"

"We've been together for a long time, okay? Last time it was rumored that they were engaged, and there is no such thing as a storm, so it must be true."

……

Shen Bi couldn't hold back when she heard this, and thought to herself, are you a little too presumptuous?For daring to spread rumors and make troubles in front of him like this, they should cut out their tongues and go to jail!After all, it's all Ji Beicheng's fault!

The last time I came back, there were not so many gossip in the capital, so how come everyone knows about it this time?

Naturally, Shen Bi couldn't think of it, thanks to Ji Beicheng who contributed to the flames and made his own rumors.

He stopped his horse with a "wow--", looked around, and smiled, "Everyone has worked hard, wait a little longer, General Ji, who is as big as a big bird, will be here soon... And this time, General Ji personally followed I admit that when he returns to Beijing this time, he will definitely find someone who is like-minded and sympathetic to Yan Wan. If you have unmarried people of the right age in your family, regardless of gender, you can propose marriage to General Ji."
