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

In August in the capital, the heat gradually subsides and the dew arrives.

After noon, Mu Zhiming sat in the study, carefully looking at the files of the Ministry of Rites, Caiwei brought a plate of tea and fruit, and gently placed it in front of Mu Zhiming: "Master, these days, why are you always bored in the room? , don’t go to the general’s mansion to meet friends like some time ago?”

Mu Zhiming smiled: "I'm not fit to go to the General's Mansion anymore."

"Then you should go shopping with Ayin more." Caiwei persuaded, "Look at Ayin, she runs out every day these days, even if she goes back to the mansion, her heart is still floating outside."

"It's okay to be idle anyway, let him play more." Mu Zhiming said with a smile.

Caiwei sighed: "Master, you are as old as Ah Yin, why are you so patient? I'm really afraid that you will bore yourself into trouble."

Mu Zhiming smiled and said nothing.

Suddenly a servant knocked on the door: "Young Master, Master and Madam call you to the side hall."

"Okay." Mu Zhiming stood up, "I'll go right away."

Mu Zhiming walked to the side hall, Mu Boren and Gong Shi sat on pear wood armchairs, after Mu Zhiming saluted, Gong Shi waved to him with a smile: "Li Zhu, sit beside Lai Niang."

Mu Zhiming nodded, sat down beside Mrs. Gong, and asked in confusion, "I don't know why the parents called the child here?"

Gong said with a smile: "I really have something important to discuss with you."

"What's the big deal?" Mu Zhiming became more and more puzzled, and looked at Mu Boren, "What's the big deal?"

Mu Boren looked a little uncomfortable for some reason, he coughed lightly, winked at Gong Shi, and asked Gong Shi to speak.

At such a moment, the clever Mu Zhiming suddenly realized what his parents wanted to say when they were looking for him.

Sure enough, as he expected, Gong smiled kindly and said, "Li Zhu, you have reached this age, and it's time to tell you about your marriage."

Mu Zhiming was stunned, not knowing how to respond: "..."

Mrs. Gong continued: "I called you here today, just to ask if you have someone you like. If not, my parents have a lot of candidates in their minds. When the time comes, I will find the most famous matchmaker in the capital and exchange it for a post. With the horoscope, you will surely be able to find a happy marriage.”

"Father, Mother"

Mu Zhiming said softly, "..."

He opened his mouth, but couldn't continue.

"Huh?" Gong Shi was delighted, "Could it be that you really have someone in mind for Li Zhu?"

"I..." Mu Zhiming hesitated, "I..."

Mu Boren patted the chair, and said anxiously: "If there is one, there is one, and if there is one, there is none. What's the matter with hesitating?"

"Oh." Gong said hurriedly, "Don't rush, the child is shy!"

Mu Zhiming suddenly stood up and bowed his head in salute: "Father, mother, can you give the child ten days to think about it. After ten days, the child will give parents an answer."

"Okay." Mrs. Gong nodded, "Li Zhu, both parents hope that you can find your destiny. If you have a sweetheart, you can tell your parents. You don't need to care too much about your family background. Your parents only look forward to you." Just be happy."

Without saying a word, Mu Zhiming bowed deeply and exited the side hall.

Gong said softly, "This child, does he have a sweetheart, or does he not?"

Mu Boren shook his head and sighed: "Ma'am, don't you think that Li Zhu seems to have something in his heart?"

"Press, it's very, very heavy."

The next day, Mu Zhiming went to court, and after discussing affairs, he went to Fengyi Palace to visit the noble concubine.As soon as the imperial concubine saw Mu Zhiming, she angrily pointed at his forehead with pale green, accusing him of not visiting her more often, and Mu Zhiming said helplessly: "I am already weak, and now it is not easy to enter the harem. The emperor's oral order will do."

Years of undefeated beauty, the imperial concubine is still as agile as a mountain deer, she lightly rests her chin with her jade palm: "Hey, well, then I don't blame you, come on, eat melon seeds, tell me about this outside the palace, Are the lotus flowers still blooming in the Yongquan Temple in the southern outskirts of the city? Wait, Xiao Lizhu, you are already weak, why haven't you married yet?"

Mu Zhiming smiled helplessly and said, "Your concubine, why, even you mentioned this..."

The imperial concubine tapped her melon seeds: "I just heard about it yesterday, and I just remembered that you are also at this age."

"Huh? What's the matter?" Mu Zhiming reached out to grab the melon seeds.

The imperial concubine said: "Today the emperor summoned General Yulin Gu Heyan, and wanted to give him a marriage with Princess Qinghe, making him a son-in-law. Princess Qinghe's biological mother, Concubine De, was very happy when she found out and kept talking in our ears every day.

The melon seeds that Mu Zhiming had just picked up scattered all over the table.

The imperial concubine was startled: "Huh? What's wrong with you, Xiaoli Zhu?"

"It's okay...it's okay." Mu Zhiming came back to his senses, hurriedly gathered up the melon seeds on the table and smiled apologetically at the imperial concubine.

The imperial concubine thought he was slippery and didn't care, and continued: "I still remember that year when the spring hunting, General Gu's three arrows attracted a lot of attention. At that time, I knew that he would become a talent in the future, Xiao Lizhu, do you know? In fact, Gu When He Yan was 17 years old, the emperor wanted to give him a marriage, but the frontier war was urgent that year, so the gift was not made. He left the capital and went to the frontier for five years. Now that he just came back, the emperor wanted to give him another marriage. See Are you really concerned about this matter, Xiaoli Zhu?"

"Huh?" Mu Zhiming came back to his senses, "Your Highness, Concubine, you said.

The imperial concubine asked worriedly: "Why are you always in a trance today? Is there something uncomfortable?"

Mu Zhiming quickly shook his head: "No, no." Really all right? "

"really."

"That's good."

After chatting with the imperial concubine to relieve boredom, it was almost evening when Mu Zhiming returned to the Mansion of the State of Yan. Caiwei called him to have dinner, and Mu Zhiming shook his head and said that he was not hungry. Walking slowly in the garden of the mansion, to the gazebo at the four corners of the bamboo forest in the courtyard, Mu Zhiming seemed to think of something, walked quickly to the center of the gazebo, lifted up his robe, and slowly sat down on the stone bench.

When Wen Heyin returned to the mansion, it was already dark, and with a mahogany food box in his hand, he excitedly ran to the wing room to look for Mu Zhiming, but he couldn't find it.

Wen Heyin scratched her head in confusion, and went to find Caiwei. When Caiwei saw him, she asked with a smile, "Ayin, I just came back. Is Jingzhao Mansion looking for you to help again? What is this holding in your hand?" ?”

"It's Jiyuezhai's pastries. Didn't the young master love to eat their pastries since he was a child? Wen Heyin held it up in front of his eyes, and said with a loud smile, "I just bought it when I passed by today. "Passing by Jiyue Zhai? Why did you go so far?" Caiwei felt strange, "It's several neighborhoods away.

Wen Heyin's eyes fluttered left and right: "I, my lightness kung fu is good, it's not too far away, where is the young master?" The young master is sitting in the bamboo forest pavilion. "Caiwei sighed," I don't know why, after returning from the palace, I just sat there without saying a word, and I didn't eat dinner. "

"What? I didn't have dinner, so how can I do it?" Wen Heyin was anxious.

Caiwei: "He said he has no appetite, how about this, A Yin, you can send the pastry from Jiyuezhai, maybe the young master likes it, so he ate it."

"Yeah!" Wen Heyin nodded, and ran to the pavilion in the bamboo forest with the food box. From a distance, he saw Mu Zhiming sitting alone at the stone table, quietly watching the westerly wind blowing in the bamboo forest. The side face of the child is handsome and elegant, the bright moon caresses the bright eyes, and the bamboo shadow is in the arms

Wen Heyin suddenly remembered that he had seen this scene before.

When he was 14 years old. "A Yin." Hearing the sound of footsteps, Mu Zhiming turned his head and called softly after hearing the sound of a crane. "Master, how can you not eat dinner, is it not uncomfortable to be hungry?" Wen Heyin walked over and put the mahogany food box on the stone table, "This is the pastry of Jiyuezhai, and I bought you My favorite sweet-scented osmanthus cake, young master, please eat some.

"Okay." Mu Zhiming smiled gently.

Wen Heyin asked: "Master, what's wrong with you?"

Mu Zhiming hesitated for a moment, and said: "Yesterday, my parents and I mentioned the matter of getting married. Wen Heyin's eyes widened suddenly, and he put his hands on the stone table suddenly: "Married!What? !marriage? !This, this should be a good thing, that, that, this, this, etc.. at least.Lord, are you worrying about this? "

Mu Zhiming shook his head, then nodded again.

"Is it true? What does shaking your head and nodding mean?" Wen Heyin asked in confusion.

Mu Zhiming said: "There is one thing I can't understand."

Wen Heyin: "What's the matter? You tell me, and I'll help you think about it.

Mu Zhiming laughed and said, "Ayin, do you still remember that when we were 14 years old, one day, I woke up in the morning and cried like crazy, and the next day I sat motionless in this bamboo pavilion ?"

"I remember!" Wen Heyin said quickly, "I remember it clearly. You didn't know what happened that day. When you woke up, you didn't put on your shoes or change your clothes. You threw off the quilt and rushed out to find Mrs. Madam. You babbled a lot of nonsense, and cried while talking, and then the next day, you sat here in a daze, silent and ignoring people, you scared everyone, and lost their souls. "

Mu Zhiming fell into memory, his voice was very soft:

"Actually, that day, I thought a lot,

There are many things I will do in the future, including whom to marry.

"Huh? Who is it?" Wen Heyin asked curiously.

Mu Zhiming: "Forbidden Army, Yushitai, Qianqiwei."

Wen Heyin became more and more puzzled: "But these are not human beings."

Mu Zhiming smiled, his smile was very light and faint: "The commander and the governor all have daughters who are about the same age as me."... "Wen Heyin is thoughtful, but the more I think about it, the more I feel something is wrong," How can I listen to the young master's words, so weird?So, young master, what is it that you don't understand? "

The ice wheel is lonely, the moonlight is cold, Mu Zhiming looked at the green bamboo forest again, and murmured in distress: "Ayin, the only thing I want in this life is to protect Mu's family and you. I once sat in this cold On the stone bench, I pondered for a whole day, and then from the age of 14 to now, every step I took was like walking on thin ice, and I was trembling at every step, and now, I have reached a crucial step, but why do you think I would be so hesitant?"

"Master... I don't quite understand."

Wen Heyin was confused, he scratched his head, thought for a moment and asked,

"But when you hesitate, what are you thinking about, or who are you thinking about?"
