Reborn as the favorite of the cold-faced general

(One)

Ten years after Tianding, the first emperor passed away.

In the early years of Jianyuan, the new emperor ascended the throne.

The next day, on the official road outside the imperial city, a snow-white horse galloped towards the northwest.

One month later, the Chu family's mansion, which had been vacant for 15 years in Yanbei County, suddenly moved in with two masters.

"After entering my Chu's house, there is no chance of regretting it." The man in black clothes who spoke had sporadic graying spots on his temples, but his back was still as straight as a pine, and he did not look old at all.

The man in Tsing Yi who was holding his hand greeted his words with a smile, "From the moment I declared my sudden death in the Tai Chi Palace, I will not allow me to regret it any longer."

Chu Tingyun thought for a while, "That's not necessarily true."

"In case you get tired of living with me and want to miss the peak of power, I will recruit troops for you and take back the throne."

Ye Huaiyun raised his hand and patted him on the chest, "They're almost 50 years old, why do they keep talking nonsense all day long?"

"What's wrong with approaching fifty?" Chu Tingyun disagreed, "Don't say I'm 46 this year, even if I'm 64, I can still single-handedly fight sixteen states."

The two walked around the house. Although they had a less formal wedding here 15 years ago, they haven't been here for many years. Every scene is extremely strange to Ye Huaiyun. .Fortunately, Chu Tingyun had already hired servants to clean up and down the mansion. Although it was cold everywhere, it was clean.

"If there's anything you don't like, we'll call a craftsman to repair it again," Chu Tingyun said.

Ye Huaiyun looked at the yard, and then said: "There are indeed a few places that are reluctant, but where does the money for repairing it come from?"

From the moment they walked out of the capital through the secret passage in the Tai Chi Hall, they were no longer emperors and generals.Since I want to be two ordinary people thoroughly, I can no longer take the gold and jade from the imperial court.

Ye Huaiyun asked Chu Tingyun this question. After thinking for a while, he said, "Why don't you ask Han Jiu? Anyway, he is the governor of Yanbei now, so he should have a lot of salary."

Ye Huaiyun: "..."

Is this how the all-powerful general in the past cheated people?

Ye Huaiyun took another two steps around the courtyard and said: "On the way here, I feel that there are not many shops around, why don't we open a teahouse in Yanbei County."

"I agree to open a shop." Chu Tingyun said: "But why is it a teahouse?"

Ye Huaiyun said: "Firstly, it is suitable for you to provide for the elderly, and secondly, it will not starve you to death."

Chu Tingyun: "..."

(two)

A month later, on the streets of Yanbei County, a new tea house was opened, named Vanity.

On the stage of the main hall, Xinri did not invite singing and dancing to pity people, but a man in his forties, with a three-foot gavel in his hand, talked about Kuaibanshu.

The man was wearing a green robe, but his figure was a little thinner, and the whole clothes looked empty.

Ye Huaiyun had a whim a few days ago, and after discussing with Chu Tingyun, he thought about talking about a book.It is about the legendary story of the former emperor Ye Huaiyun and the great general Chu Tingyun, commonly known as I make up myself, but obviously the tea drinkers who came to listen to the book did not know their true identities.

At this time, Ye Huaiyun was talking about when they were in Zhiyang County, they went to Qiuzi Temple for the second time, and both of them changed into women's clothes.

At the entrance of the lobby, a crazy beggar in ragged clothes suddenly broke in, and rushed to the stage, shouting loudly.

"You liar for tea money!"

"The first emperor was wise, the general was brave all his life, how could he wear women's clothing!"

When the beggar grabbed a porcelain teacup on the table and was about to throw it on the stage, Chu Tingyun suddenly jumped down from the railing on the second floor and grabbed the man's hand, "The vanity building also allows you to be presumptuous!" place?"

The beggar was not convinced, but he couldn't move his wrist, so he yelled.

"These two are liars! Everyone, see clearly! Don't let them cheat you of your tea money again!"

"Maybe this flashy building is not a good place, who knows if there are other deceitful businesses!"

The beggar was still swearing, but Chu Tingyun suddenly let go of his hand, making the man helpless, and took two steps back.

"Whether we are in the business of cheating or kidnapping is up to the government to judge, and it's not up to you to say." Chu Tingyun clapped his hands and stood in front of Ye Huaiyun.

At the same time, before the beggar could stand still, a man wearing the official uniform of the fifth-rank county came in with several officers and soldiers.

"Who is making trouble here?"

Seeing that the officers and soldiers were coming, the beggar froze immediately, shrinking his head and preparing to run away.

"Dare to make trouble in the vanity building, take it away!" Han Jiu, who followed Chu Tingyun to Yanbei County and became the governor of a county, reached out and grabbed the beggar by the collar, picked him up and threw him into the hands of the officers and soldiers. inside.

The beggar was probably a hooligan who had been hanging out all year round, and immediately softened his posture and said that he drank too much alcohol last night, and his brain hadn't woken up yet, so he was talking nonsense for a while.

Han Jiu snorted coldly, ignored him at all, and took him to the Yamen.

Everyone just regarded it as a farce, no matter how careful they were, they continued to listen to Ye Huaiyun's story behind.

In the evening, the Fanhua Building closed, and Ye Huaiyun and Chu Tingyun went home to rest, and they would tell the unfinished story tomorrow.

It's just that when he returned to the mansion today, the first thing the butler said was that a female guest came and asked for Ye Huaiyun by name.

"Come to see me?" Ye Huaiyun was suspicious.He didn't know many people in Yanbei County, let alone women.

"Yes." The housekeeper nodded, "It is said that they are here to apologize to you."

Now Ye Huaiyun was even more strange.

Recently, no one has offended him at all, why come to apologize.

Chu Tingyun sneered: "Could it be because you are so good-looking that you set fire to the heart of other girls."

"..." Ye Huaiyun glanced at him speechlessly, "If this is the case, it should be me, the arsonist, who apologized."

"Indeed." Chu Tingyun thought for a while, then laughed and said, "Then when will you apologize to me? It's been arson in my heart for decades."

Ye Huaiyun was used to hearing these words, ignored him, and walked straight to the living room.

The woman sitting at the table was only in her early twenties, she was dressed in red, and her eyebrows were coquettish.Even Ye Huaiyun, who had seen countless beauties in Beijing, had to admit that this person was indeed good-looking.

"Excuse me, Miss, what's the matter for visiting late at night?" Ye Huaiyun asked politely.

I never thought that before the girl said a word, she would kneel down to him first.

"What do you mean, Miss?" Ye Huaiyun took two steps forward, trying to help her up.

But before his hand touched the woman's sleeve, he was cut off by Chu Tingyun in the air.

"Girl, tell me something. It's very late at night, and you're still staying at the home of two men. It's not good for your reputation."

"Little girl doesn't care about her reputation." The girl cried and cried, and finally said: "I just hope that the two adults can hold your hands high and save my cousin."

"If you want to save someone, you should go to the government to ask Mr. Han for help." Ye Huaiyun said: "We are just ordinary people, how can we help you."

"No, only you can help me with this matter." The woman looked at Ye Huaiyun, blinked her eyes full of water, and bowed again, "It was my cousin who bumped into you in the vanity building today. The beggar."

"He has a bad mind, and he often runs into the street in a rag to talk nonsense. He really didn't mean to contradict you. Please go to Mr. Han and say something nice, as long as you say that my cousin didn't hurt you. To scare him, so that he will be spared some jail time."

Ye Huaiyun sighed, "Girl, please go back, I'm afraid we can't help you with this."

"Since your cousin has a bad mind, he should stay at home in peace. This prison disaster can be regarded as a lesson for him."

He said so decisively, the woman couldn't beg anymore, but the mist in the corner of her eyes was getting thicker and she looked at Ye Huaiyun.

It stands to reason that few men could remain indifferent after seeing such an expression.However, Ye Huaiyun didn't even look at her, and was dragged back into the room by Chu Tingyun.

A dim light flickered in the woman's eyes, and then she looked around the Chu mansion before leaving.

(three)

"Ahem——" Chu Tingyun started to cough before dawn today, "Huaiyun, I may have a relapse of an old injury, and my head hurts a bit."

In the early years, Chu Tingyun spent a lot of time at the border, and it was inevitable that he suffered some injuries. Later, although the imperial doctor took care of him from time to time, the root cause of the disease still remained.Every time the season changes, I will have a headache and cough, and I want to come today.

"I'll make the medicine for you." Ye Huaiyun got up and put on her clothes, before going to the kitchen.

Chu Tingyun grabbed his hand and shook his head, "I've been taking that medicine for so many years, but it hasn't improved at all, and it's still so painful, it's better not to take it."

Ye Huaiyun was funny, "You're so old, why are you still shying away from medical treatment?"

"It's not about avoiding medical treatment, but about my own body, and I know it well." Chu Tingyun said, "Just sleep and it will be fine."

"Go to the teahouse, I will pick you up later."

Ye Huaiyun had nothing to do with him, this man said he wouldn't take medicine, but he really didn't know how to drink it.And he did promise those tea drinkers in the vanity building that he would tell the next story today.

After Ye Huaiyun told him a few more words not to open the window to let in the cool breeze, not to be greedy for spicy food, and then went out.

But today, for some reason, there were a lot fewer tea customers in this vanity building than usual, and by the afternoon, almost all of them had left.

Ye Huaiyun had no choice but to put away the gavel early, and did not continue to tell the story after a break.

But before Chu Tingyun came at this point, he sat in the private room of the teahouse and waited for a cup of tea, drinking slowly and waiting for others.

After half a cup of tea, the private room door was suddenly slowly pushed open from the outside. Ye Huaiyun subconsciously thought that it was Chu Tingyun who had come, and turned his head suddenly.But although the person who came was familiar, he was not the one he was waiting for.

"What's the matter, girl?" Ye Huaiyun lowered his head and continued to drink tea, "I made it very clear last night, whether you want to save people or reason, you should go to the government, not come to us. "

The person who came was the woman who visited the mansion last night. She was still dressed in red, and she walked up to Ye Huaiyun and blessed her body.

"The little girl didn't come here today to beg the Lord to save someone." The woman replied, "It's the younger brother in the family who went to jail and won't come out for a while. The little girl is alone and can't make a living, so..."

"So you hope we can take you in?" Ye Huaiyun immediately took her words.

The woman nodded, and in the blink of her eyes, there were moist pear blossoms in spring with rain, which was so cute.

Unfortunately, she found the wrong person.

No matter how charming her gesture was, Ye Huaiyun turned a blind eye to it, and just said: "It's not impossible to take you in, but the house doesn't support idlers, so you can do some chores with the housekeeper."

The woman was taken aback for a moment, then pretended to be grateful and thanked her again and again.

"Huaiyun." Chu Tingyun appeared in time and sat on the chair next to him, "Why did you rest so early today?"

He glanced at the woman intentionally or unintentionally, "Could it be because of her?"

Ye Huaiyun drank tea as if nothing had happened, "It's just that there are fewer customers, what are you eating so blindly?"

Chu Tingyun pressed his eyebrows, and his tone was aggrieved, "She looks so good-looking, how can I not be jealous."

"..." Ye Huaiyun was a little speechless, but he had seen Chu Tingyun's ability to twist sour vinegar for so many years, so he didn't take it too seriously.

Anyway, it's all about talking nonsense, and now I don't sit in that position, and there is no pressure to speak.

So, Ye Huaiyun said casually: "Not as good-looking as you."

When Chu Tingyun heard it, it seemed that some mechanism had been opened, and his eyes blinked with excitement.

With cinnabar red at the end of his eyes, he hooked it lightly, "Since I'm pretty, then Brother Ye come and eat me!"

Ye Huaiyun: "..."

Can you be more shameless?A lot of old people, can you restrain yourself a little?

And in the end who is older, what kind of brother is he blindly calling!

(four)

"Didn't you say you'll be fine after a day's rest?" Ye Huaiyun pressed the back of her hand against Chu Tingyun's forehead, her temperature was a little hot, obviously she had a fever.

Although there are some root causes of old diseases, this person's health has always been good, and he has never stayed overnight with illness.

So Ye Huaiyun could only attribute this to Chu Tingyun's refusal to take medicine.

"I'll go out to fetch medicine for you." Ye Huaiyun didn't allow him to refuse and said, "No matter what, you won't be allowed to mess around."

Chu Tingyun lay on the bed and said "um", his voice was extremely hoarse and low.

In fact, he really wanted to tell Ye Huaiyun that today's headache was different from every previous attack of an old injury, but he couldn't tell exactly what was different.I can only respond first without any strength, and let's talk after taking the medicine.

The spring is cold and steep, and there is a lot of rain in the northwest, so today it is pattering underground.

Ye Huaiyun walked down the street holding an umbrella, probably because of the rain, several pharmacies were still closed, and it took him a little longer to buy the medicine and return home.

He has always cared about Chu Tingyun's matter, and he is not willing to do it to others even for trivial things like decocting medicine.

It was already noon when he walked to the bedroom with the medicine bowl.

The bedroom door was opened on one side, Ye Huaiyun frowned.He clearly remembered that before he went out, he closed the doors and windows.

Ye Huaiyun walked into the room, and the smell of spices in the incense burner seemed to be a little different. Then he walked into the inner room, where the tulle bed curtain was hanging, and two pairs of shoes were placed outside.

He vaguely guessed something in his heart, and when he lifted the bed curtain, he saw the woman lying in the quilt.

Ye Huaiyun put the lacquer plate on the table, sat down on the wooden couch by the window, and said lightly, "Is this shameless trick fun?"

The woman immediately sat out from the quilt, covered her shoulders, and started to shout molestation.

Before she opened her mouth, Ye Huaiyun reminded her coolly: "I advise you to see if there is anyone next to you before shouting."

The woman was taken aback, and looked sideways. She was the only one on the bed, and Chu Tingyun, who was supposed to be asleep in her plan, was nowhere to be seen.

A black shadow suddenly fell from the beam, and Chu Tingyun cast a reproachful glance at Ye Huaiyun, "Why did you come back? If it wasn't for my invulnerability to all poisons, otherwise you would have been caught by this spice."

"Drink the medicine first." Ye Huaiyun saw that his face was still flushed with fever, so he knew that this person was trying to escape the calculation.

Ye Huaiyun poured out the censer with tea, took it outside and threw it away, and then turned to look at the woman.

"Let's talk about it, what is the purpose of trying to sneak into Chu's mansion."

The woman lowered her head and bit her lip, as if she had made up her mind not to say a word.

Chu Tingyun finished drinking the medicine, wiped her mouth with a cloth towel, and said, "If you don't say anything, just throw it to the government. I believe that with Han Jiu's level of interrogation, she will be able to pry her mouth open soon."

"I said, let me say it." The woman finally let go: "It was the master in the south of the city who asked me to do this."

After all, it was nothing more than Ye Huaiyun and the others opening a flashy building that blocked the fortune of the old man who originally opened the only teahouse in Yanbei County. That's why they made such a move to turn Ye Chu against each other. I no longer have the energy to run a flashy building.

Returned the fortune.

"Boring." Chu Tingyun spit out these two words coldly.

Then he turned his head and said to Ye Huaiyun: "Since someone thinks that we have blocked his way of making money, why not..."

"Let's cut off his money directly."

Ye Huaiyun was taken aback for a moment, how could this sound so shameless.

Chu Tingyun pointed at the woman, "Go back and talk to the person in the south of the city, and tell him to hand over all the land and house deeds. Otherwise, I will send him to the government in minutes."

The woman was frightened by him and nodded repeatedly.After the room was cleaned up again, Ye Huaiyun looked at Chu Tingyun and said, "I suddenly feel that you have the temperament to be a boss."

"What is a boss?" Chu Tingyun was taken aback when he heard this strange word.

Ye Huaiyun replied: "I don't know the details, but I had a dream last night."

"What dream?" Chu Tingyun asked again.

Ye Huaiyun said: "In the dream, we are all just characters in the book, and the people who have heard and read our stories are the readers. They always say, you look like a bully."

Chu Tingyun rubbed his chin thoughtfully, "Since it's the world in the book, can they see us doing other private things?"

Ye Huaiyun met his eagle-like eyes, and immediately became vigilant, "What's private?"

Chu Tingyun smiled: "What do you think?"

Ye Huaiyun: "..."

Still have a fever!A lot of old people, can you restrain yourself a little?

Chu Tingyun: "No!"
