The general and his spoiled wife

Yuzhou City.

In August, showers.

The rain hit the window lattice and made a crackling sound.The room was brightly lit with candles, and the servant girl walked into the room with a medicine bowl, looked at Miaoman's figure hidden under the brocade quilt, and said softly: "Miss, it's time to drink the medicine."

Yunci opened her eyes in a daze. She had a small face the size of a palm, with delicate and fair skin, a rare beauty.

The candlelight flickered slightly, and she could vaguely see the mottled tears in the corners of her eyes. She presumably had just cried, and her dull expression reflected the faint fear rising from the bottom of her eyes. She didn't care about taking the medicine, so she asked: "Brother How long have you been away from home?"

"Three years, seven months and 28 days."

The servant girl said happily: "In two days, it will be Miss's birthday. The Zhenbei Army won the battle, and the return date will be in these two days. If you are lucky, you may be able to get together with your birthday. Miss, we have something to look forward to, and the young master will be back soon." Already!"

Outside the window, there was a strong wind and rain, lightning and thunder.Yunci flicked her wrist and almost broke the medicine bowl!

Bright light flashed across the sky quickly, illuminating most of the room.

Her face was pale, her body was buried in the brocade quilt and she was trembling fiercely, her red lips were biting tightly, almost bleeding.

Has the servant girl ever seen her lose her composure like this?Immediately panicked, he comforted: "Miss, don't be afraid, the young master is wise and powerful, and he will definitely come back!"

"I miss brother...Jiang Huai...Jiang Huai..."

"Ah! Miss, why is your forehead so hot? Miss? Miss!"

With a heavy head, accompanied by the wind and rain outside the window, Yunci had a dream.

On the day of the birthday in the dream, the Zhenbei Army triumphantly returned, with an army of [-], ranging from generals to soldiers, the scenery was unparalleled for a while.

Yuzhou City has never been so lively as that day.

Some people hugged their relatives and cried, some people smiled, and the army returned to the city, forcing out all kinds of human states, and even the most repressed emotions were volatile.

She waited for a long time among the crowd, and asked everyone she met, "Has General Zhongwu come back?"

My elder brother is both civil and military, and even a lame soldier can return from the battlefield. Why is such a powerful elder brother not seen?What about others?He said he would come back!

She waited for three years and eight months, and he said that he would celebrate her birthday when he came back.Brother will definitely come back, sooner or later, he will never let himself wait.

With this in mind, she braced her weak body and stood like a tree in the wind and rain.

Until the court marshal Gu Qiunian personally delivered the urn to her, his tone was apologetic and filled with deep regret: "Miss Yun, Ah Huai..."

The phrase "no more" stuck in his throat, and the little girl's sharp red eyes made him shut up.

Yun Ci stabilized her mind, her gentle and kind eyes were extremely indifferent: "Stop talking, I don't want to hear it."

"Miss Yun, this is what Ah Huai left for you."

It was a blood book.

Yunci was startled slightly.

Resisting, grief destroyed her already thin body, clutching the letter tightly, swallowing the blood gushing from her throat, she asked: "Brother, why... nothing?"

Danger is imminent. As a marshal's personal soldier, Jiang Huai, who first entered the battlefield, performed well. In just three years, he rose from a small soldier to a fourth-rank loyal general, and was favored by Gu Qiunian.

However, there are unforeseen circumstances, no matter how stubborn and proud you are, there will be times when you will be crushed.

When the war reached the most critical point, Gu Qiunian took a risky march and caught the Xiliang army by surprise, until the two sides were blindsided, and the enemy fought back vigorously, preferring to sacrifice tens of thousands of troops to keep Gu Qiunian's head.

Jiang Huai blocked the fatal knife for the marshal.

The poison is quenched on the knife.

No solution.

Yunci was raised by her elder brother since she was a child, and she learned her good handwriting from him. She raised her head, letting the tears roll in her eyes, but she didn't dare to lower her eyes to look at the blood book.

Fear of a glance, the heart will collapse.

The yin and yang are separated, and no matter how hard she spends her whole life, she can't make the moon and the moon round.

Gu Qiunian's eyes were bloodshot, and he said with great pain: "A Huai handed you over to the old man before he died, and from today onwards, you are the old man's righteous daughter, A Ci, if you want to cry, you can cry out loudly. "

Everyone waited patiently for her to collapse, but Yun Ci smiled helplessly, ignored Marshal Gu's kindness, and hugged the urn by herself, taking over the burden from the guard.

The baggage contained the elder brother's relics, and Yunci had excellent eyesight, and could see the bright blue color with a quick glance.

It was the brocade clothes that she rushed to make overnight before my elder brother went to the battlefield.

Brother smiled and promised that he would come back to her in high spirits in this new dress.

Heart tingling, loss of response to the outside world.

In front of people, she always restrained herself and kept her tears from falling.My brother hopes that she will be the most beautiful girl in the world, how can a girl cry in front of outsiders?

She remembers everything, remembers every word brother said:

Girls should live delicately, be reserved, polite, elegant and calm, even if the world falls apart, they must learn to be calm and calm to die.

Rejecting the kindness of the marshal, he went home with 'Brother' in his arms.Home is still there, brother is gone...

After the screen retreated and the door was bolted, Yun Ci lay on the bed, crying so hard that she almost died.

Tears blurred her eyes, and she opened the bloody book with trembling hands: "A Ci, I'm sorry, I can't accompany you to see the spring flowers in March..."

In a word, tears burst into tears.

Unbearable and ruthless, Yun Ci hugged the urn and cried sadly: "Brother!"

"Aci, remember to laugh and live a good life. Brother is looking at you in the sky, watching my married Aci give birth to a happy life."

"Brother...Brother! Don't leave me...Jiang Huai!!"

Yun Ci opened her eyes from the soft couch, her pupils were red.

The heavy rain was pouring, and the fragrance from the mud could be smelled through the window.

In the hut flickering with candlelight, the servant girl stood up slowly: "Miss? Miss, you are awake!"

"Miss is having a nightmare, don't be afraid, no matter what you dream about, it's not real. Do you want to take a bath? I've prepared water in advance."

Yun Ci touched her face full of tears, her throat was slightly hoarse, and asked her: "Is this a dream?"

The servant girl said distressedly: "It's a dream, miss kept chanting your son's name in her dream."

"Nian'er, the Zhenbei army will return to the city in the future, brother will be fine, right?"

She was really in a bad state, and the servant girl said categorically: "Yes! We will be able to see the young master in the future!"

"The day after tomorrow..." Yun Ci murmured.

The servant girl shook her head and went to fetch water. She didn't know what the young lady had dreamed, and she was almost scared to death.However, besides the young master, who else could tug at the young lady's heartstrings?

The lady thought about it day and night and dreamed about it, and the fears and fears of more than three years erupted in an instant. Just listening to her crying "Brother" every time, her heart was almost broken by her crying.

The army is about to return to the city, but the young lady has frequent nightmares...

Ugh.

The maid let out a long sigh.

Miss and Young Master, one is surnamed Yun, the other is surnamed Jiang, there is no relationship between them, but everyone in Qinglin Lane knows that Miss Yun was picked up by General Jiang halfway.

The two are called brothers and sisters, and when they meet Yunci, who is extremely juicy, the old people in the alley will laugh and joke.

After all, Jiang Huai, who was skinny back then, walked from the East Street to the West Street with his weak younger sister on his back, swaggering, proudly, with his tail up to the sky.

Many people worried that the child would not be able to support him—Jiang Huai was a child himself, how would he live if he raised a girl who was three years younger than him?

However, Jiang Huai would take her sister with her wherever she went, and she didn't worry about raising her sister to death if she didn't pay attention.

It's not easy for children from poor families to have enough to eat, but General Jiang is good, he is poor, and for some reason, he can raise his younger sister like a rich lady.

Yunci lived up to his intensive cultivation, and his frail body was getting better day by day.

Before Jiang Huai joined the army, she specially spent a lot of money to buy Nian'er and made all arrangements before leaving.

The meaning is clear, even if you don't guard it under your nose, you still want to let your sister live a happy life.

At that time, the neighbors laughed at this matter for a long time, saying that he was extremely stupid, and he was not a daughter-in-law. As for spending such a large sum of money?

However, some people also said that if they called sisters and sisters verbally, they might be raised as child brides.

Jiang Huai wasn't annoyed that those people didn't speak well.

Nian'er stood there in a daze, recalling the scene when the young master instructed her before joining the army, as if it had been years...

"Little girl, remember, take good care of A Ci. She is delicate and expensive. She is the only relative I have in this world. I can't afford to lose it. When I return home someday, if she is not good at all, be careful that I will deduct your wages." .”

He is obviously a young boy, but he speaks with dignity.

His eyes are too bright, and his smile is even more charming. With narrow shoulders and thin waist, he is half a head taller than his peers, and his appearance is very good.

When she first heard that he was going to join the army, Nian'er was still worried about it for two days, if one day he disappeared, she would lose her employer.

Fortunately, the young master is capable, and he is like a fish in water on the battlefield, making frequent military exploits.

More and more money was sent home from the border. Clothes, ornaments, and all kinds of rare things that cannot be seen in Yuzhou City were sent to the young lady like flowing water.

As long as you have eyes, you can see the heart of fist.

With such a good elder brother, even the most ruthless person knows how to cherish it, right?

Nian'er twisted her handkerchief and took two steps forward, carefully wiped the tears on the young lady's face, and said in a distressed tone, "Why are you crying like this? When you come back in two days, you see young lady's eyes are swollen, don't you want to die of heartache?"

"Don't say you're dead." Yun Ci glanced at her lightly, her gaze was like a sword.

Nian'er was horrified, understood her concern, and immediately changed her words: "Miss, don't worry, the young master will definitely come back unharmed."

Holding the hand hidden in the brocade quilt tightly, thinking of the vivid and clear scene in the dream, thinking of Marshal Gu's pity and sorrowful eyes, Yun Ci's heart ached, but it was difficult to express it.

The old man often said that dreams are the opposite, and she cannot be frightened or panicked.

It rained heavily for two days.After recovering from the initial panic, as the days approached, Yun Ci looked more and more cold, so that she didn't dare to disturb her when she had nothing to do.

Even if he talks, he never dares to mention the young master.

She figured it out, the young lady was afraid.What to be afraid of, just think about it.

Nian'er lowered her head, thinking, who is not afraid.

On the night when the squadron of the Zhenbei Army returned to the court, Yunci could not sleep all night, and the candles in the room were lit all night.

In the morning, she dressed up early and changed into a particularly festive gold-edged red dress with green bamboo embroidered on the cuffs. After taking the medicine for two days, she recovered from her illness and was in good spirits: "Nian'er, let's wait at the gate of the city." Bar."

"Huh? Miss, I haven't had breakfast yet."

"Don't eat, wait for brother to come back and eat together!"

Early in the morning, the people who ran to the gate of the city were not only Yunci, but also many ordinary people.

Living is the most simple and unpretentious expectation of people. Don't expect to make great achievements, don't expect to be a hero who protects the mountains and rivers, just live.

Look carefully, everyone's eyes are shining with a small light, which is wrapped in gloom, hope, and fear of the unknown.Before all the truth came out, it was carefully hidden.

So what people saw were all smiling faces.

"Girl, are you also waiting for someone at the city gate?"

The old vegetable seller put the bamboo baskets containing fresh vegetables aside and took a good position in front.

Yun Ci smiled and said, "Yes, old man, are you waiting for someone too?"

"Yes, my grandson is only fourteen on the battlefield this year. I have nothing to do, and I want to take him home with the Zhenbei Army back to the city!" When he mentioned going home, the old man's eyes were full of smiles.

Yun Ci glanced at the fresh vegetables in the bamboo basket, and thought to herself, where is there nothing to do, and why is it that I came to pick them up along the way?

Seeing through, she nodded, and for the first time, the thought of confiding came to her heart: "I want to take my elder brother home too, I haven't seen him for three years and eight months, I don't know if he is thinner or taller. "

"I came here early to wait, and I dressed up specially today, so that he can look up and see me first in the crowd."

"Ah, ah, the little girl is young and beautiful, you don't need to dress up so that you can see it at a glance."

The old man never expected to chat with such a fairy girl in his lifetime, rubbed his hands together, and suddenly realized: Miss, maybe you are nervous?

One talked about how naughty his little grandson was when he was young, and the other said how considerate his elder brother was when he was young. They were not talking about one person or one thing, and the atmosphere was inexplicably harmonious.

Even Yunci herself didn't expect that she would talk to a stranger for so long.

Nian'er stood by and listened to it unpleasantly, secretly praying that the young master will return safely.

Slowly, the sporadic light rain floating in the sky disappeared, and every leaf of Yuzhou City that had been washed by the rain looked so fresh.

Suddenly, the crowd burst into enthusiastic cheers: "The Zhenbei Army is back! The Zhenbei Army is back!!"
