The Rebirth Of The General Who Always Sees Himself As A Replacement

Aunt Liang is counting the dishes delivered today in the kitchen, thinking about what soup to make for dinner, her son Wen Zhongcheng and daughter-in-law are helping.

There are only two masters and three servants in a large general's mansion. General Gu treats their family very well, and they are not even called masters and servants on weekdays. It was deserted, but the mansion was cleaned up and down and organized in an orderly manner, and the three meals were delicious, never perfunctory.

As time goes by, everything is quiet and good, but it's a pity that the general's wife left early, and the mansion is less lively after all.

Aunt Liang was instructing her son Wen Zhongcheng to move a basket of green cabbage to the stove when Gu Heyan came hurriedly: "Aunt Liang, we have a distinguished guest today."

"Honored guest?" Aunt Liang raised her head and wiped her temples with the back of her hand.

The General's Mansion hasn't entertained guests for many years, why suddenly there are distinguished guests?

Fortunately, Aunt Liang was virtuous, and immediately said to her daughter-in-law: "My dear girl, you can look for it on the wooden shelf on the left side of the warehouse. There should be a set of elegant celadon tea sets. Take it out and wash the dust with boiling water."

"Ah, I see." Juanniang got up immediately.

Aunt Liang wanted to ask Gu Heyan who came, but when she turned her head, she saw that Gu Heyan came and went in a hurry, but within a few words, the person disappeared.

"Hey, where are you going, this kid?" Aunt Liang was puzzled.

She had an answer quickly.

Half an hour later, Gu Heyan returned to the kitchen with sweat on his temples and panting slightly, and handed the mahogany hexagonal holding box inlaid with hundreds of treasures to Aunt Liang.

Aunt Liang stayed for a moment, then asked, "What is this?"

"Cakes, wait for the guests." Gu Heyan left this sentence and turned around.

Aunt Liang carefully opened the lid of the box, and saw that there was a horizontal wooden strip in the middle of the food box, dividing it into left and right sides. On the left was the soft osmanthus tuckahoe cake, and on the right was the crispy chestnut candied cake.

Wen Zhongcheng came over to take a look, and asked suspiciously: "Master Yuyi has never liked sweets, how would he know how to buy these twisted pastries?"

Aunt Liang shook her head, put away the food box, and asked Wen Zhongcheng to clean the main hall, while she went to prepare tea.

She had just finished her work, and saw Gu Heyan walking towards her anxiously: "Aunt Liang, I have something to ask you, can you come with me?"

Aunt Liang had never seen him so bewildered, she thought that something important was going to happen, and hurriedly let him go.

The two walked to the outer room of the East Wing. Aunt Liang was surprised to see Wen Zhongcheng and her daughter-in-law Juanniang there, and she couldn't help being horrified.

What the hell is going on!

Gu Heyan moved a wooden bench for Aunt Liang, and the three of them sat in a row, nervously watching Gu Heyan pace back and forth in front of their eyes, thinking about what to say.

After a long while, Gu Heyan, who was indifferent and reticent since he was a child, spoke slowly: "Do you think..."

Three people: "Think?!"

Gu Heyan: "I..."

Three people: "You?!"

Gu Heyan: "...which clothes look good on weekdays?"

Three people: "..."

Wen Zhongcheng almost fell off the wooden bench. He stabilized the bench with trembling hands: "Master Yuyi, you called the three of us here, just... ouch!" Before he could finish speaking, there was a scream.

Aunt Liang and Juanniang pinched the sightless man from left to right, and stopped him from speaking. They looked at each other and exchanged glances quickly.

Today's distinguished guests, no!have to!up!

"Wen'er, have you finished cleaning the main hall?" Aunt Liang asked.

"Not yet." Wen Zhongcheng inhaled and exhaled, rubbing his pinched waist, "It was only halfway through the cleaning, and the young master hurriedly called me here. I thought there was something serious..."

Juanniang patted him on the shoulder, telling him to shut up and say less.

"You go and clean it, here is Juan'er and I." Aunt Liang waved her hand to drive away this ignorant fool, and then she and Juan Niang opened the simple wooden unpatterned cabinet in the inner room for Gu He Yan tensed up.

There were just a few clothes to choose from, and she settled on a sky blue embroidered bamboo brocade dress with dark patterns. After Gu Heyan changed his outer clothes, Aunt Liang found a bamboo-leaf sapphire crown from the closet to tie his hair, and encouraged him to wear it. He smiled and said, "Master Yuyi is so handsome and handsome, he looks good in anything."

"Exactly." Niang Juan agreed with a smile, "In my opinion, let alone this mortal girl, even a girl with splendid embroidery and celestial beauty, Young Master Yuyi can match her."

Gu Heyan was silent, lowered his head and straightened his sleeves and wrists.

"Madam's jade pendant is not suitable for this dress." Juanniang held the agate jade pendant, hesitating not to wear it for Gu Heyan.

"Wrap it in a clean silk cloth and put it in the young master's arms. It can be regarded as wearing it with you." Aunt Liang said.

"Hey, okay." Niang Juan nodded and did as she did.

After coming and going, it was the appointed time, Duke Yan's carriage slowly arrived in front of the general's mansion, Wen Zhongcheng stepped forward to receive the guests, leaned over and smiled and led Mu Boren and Mu Zhiming to the main hall.

Bypassing the screen wall is a courtyard, no corridors, no flowers and plants, the house is so simple and solemn that the father and son named Mu couldn't help sighing in their hearts.

"Master, the distinguished guest is here." Wen Zhongcheng called out at the entrance of the main hall, and leaned over to make a gesture of invitation.

Mu Boren led Mu Zhiming into the main hall one step at a time, saw Gu Miao and Gu Heyan standing in front of the hall, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute: "General Gu, thank the Gu family for saving my child's life, thank you for being late, and hope the general Hai Han, come to the door at this time, there is a lot of trouble, I hope the general will not blame you!"

Mu Zhiming followed his father in bowing to him, and stayed up for a long time.

"Yan Guogong!" Gu Miao hurriedly returned the gift to help Mu Boren, "You are so polite, kindness starts from the heart, and you don't ask for anything in return, please sit down."

The Duke and the General sat in the front seats, while Gu Heyan and Mu Zhiming sat in the side seats, one on the left and one on the right. At that moment, Juanniang leaned over into the main hall and brought tea and snacks.

Mu Zhiming's eyes fell on the small celadon dish for dessert, and he was a little surprised to see three pieces of sweet-scented osmanthus and tuckahoe cakes placed on top of them.

This is actually his favorite Jiyuezhai dim sum. I think Jiyuezhai is eight squares away from the general's mansion, so far away, but the general's mansion always has dim sum. It seems that Jiyuezhai does have some reputation.

Although Mu Zhiming is salivating, he knows that he should be reserved when visiting and seeing guests. Otherwise, he eats and drinks while others are talking, what is this called?So he held back his greed and didn't move the plate of dim sum, just picked up the teacup and sipped it.

The fragrant tea lingered in his mouth, Mu Zhiming swallowed the tea, and heard Gu Miao call Gu Heyan: "Yu Yi."

"Father, please order." Gu Heyan stood up and cupped his fists.

Gu Miao stroked his beard, and said: "I am greeting with Lord Yan, you two children must feel bored, so let's take Master Mu to play in the yard, you two don't have to stay here, go .”

"Yes." Gu Heyan nodded and looked at Mu Zhiming.

Mu Zhiming hurriedly stood up, and asked Mu Boren with his eyes.

Mu Boren nodded: "Go."

"Then father, general, we two juniors will leave first." Mu Zhiming bowed and followed Gu Heyan out of the main hall.

Seeing the figures of the two walking away, Gu Miao turned her head and asked Mu Boren with a smile: "Duke Yan, may I ask a question?"

"General Gu is so polite, Mu will definitely tell you everything." Mu Boren said hastily.

"Dare to ask..." Gu Miao smiled, and said slowly, "Duke Yan, do you have...a daughter under your knees?"
