The general and his spoiled wife

On August 23, when the clouds and the rain fell, General Zhongwu returned to the city after recovering from his injury.

Yuzhou City, Honghu Street, Qinglin Lane, the seventh house from east to west, is the common home of Jiang Huai and Yunci.

After entering the door, Yunci lowered her head and said nothing.Elder brother guessed right, she guarded Nuo's family property by herself, worried that the thieves would covet her, so she simply exchanged the things into bank notes and left them for elder brother to marry a wife in the future.

The precious things in the house were emptied out as if by a thief, Jiang Huai was stunned for a long time, unable to react, and let out a long sigh of relief: "Song Ji!"

Soldier Song Ji hastily came out: "My subordinates are here."

Jiang Huai held the jade belt around his waist, and said without moving his eyes: "Take my sealed letter to the marshal's mansion to exchange money, and let the old man figure it out."

Song Ji took Fang Yin tremblingly, thinking: the general is worthy of being a general, and he is bold enough to steal people's money to the marshal.Prepared to be kicked out by the marshal, Song Ji rode away on his horse.

It's August in Yuzhou City, and the air is humid.Standing in the yard, Jiang Huai tried her best to breathe steadily, and finally bent down before erupting.It's not unreasonable for her to be angry. Her good family business has been exchanged for white money, and she feels distressed.

Yun Ci squatted down with her, "Brother, why didn't Sister Su come back with us?"

Jiang Huai sighed, not wanting to tell her about those things, rubbing her little head: "Shuque Avenue in Yuzhou City, half of the shops on both sides of the street are owned by your sister Su, if she doesn't come home with us, she has to In the past, he presided over the overall situation, and then proceeded to the matter of redemption after taking care of it."

"Sister Su is so rich." Yun Ci smiled brightly, hugged her arm and said coquettishly: "Brother, I was wrong, I shouldn't waste your heart."

Jiang Huai helped her up amusedly, and told Nian'er to take the soldiers to the side courtyard to settle down.

After she left, Jiang Huai held her hand: "You, you, I really can't do anything about you."

While talking, he walked towards the room, and when the door was pushed open, he was taken aback again.The furnishings inside were exactly the same as before she left.

Looking at the familiar layout in the room, through these, she thought of the days when she and Aci lived together three years ago. 14-year-old Ah Ci, a natural beauty, always loves to hug her and never let go, calling her brother when she wakes up, secretly covering her with a quilt at night, and rushing to make new clothes overnight when she learns that she wants to join the army.

Yunci took out the brocade clothes from the closet familiarly, with frowned eyes: "Brother, can you show me how to wear it? You said it."

Jiang Huai patted the back of her hand in relief, took her clothes and walked towards the screen.

Yun Ci didn't dare to look too much, she hastily turned her back, and said in her heart: Brother, you really don't avoid suspicion.Elder brother didn't want to avoid suspicion with her, thoughts flooded his face, and his face became hot.

After a while, Jiang Huai stood in front of her in a graceful manner, and asked, "Does it look good?"

Yun Ci looked back and turned around, dumbfounded.

She knew that brother would look better in this way. When she was sewing clothes, she tried to imagine brother showing his collarbone. In a few years, brother had grown into a more perfect appearance than she imagined - Qinglie, Sexy, innocent, yet deadly.

"Brother, let's wear this outfit today, I can't get enough of it."

"Okay." Jiang Huai touched the soft material of the sleeves, and smiled slightly: "Ah Ci, make me another underwear. The previous one was stained with blood, so I can't wear it."

"Okay, I'll make some more uniforms for brother."

Yunci smiled, "Actually, during the years when brother was away, I made a lot of clothes for him, and they were all kept in the closet. You can try them on before going to bed, and there should be a few suitable ones. I don't know, brother. When will I return, I have nothing to do, I have tried to do it in various sizes.”

Jiang Huai looked at her silently, stared blankly, walked to the closet, opened the closet door, and saw that there were neatly piled clothes inside—outer robes, inner clothes, inner shirts, and even shoes and socks.

Staring at the thick piles of clothes, Jiang Huai seemed to see the lonely figure of A Ci sitting under the candlelight and carefully sewing the clothes. She suddenly felt sour: "A Ci, am I coming back late?"

"not late."

Yun Ci smiled shyly, "Brother, as long as you come back safely, it's never too late. I'm not afraid to wait."

She paused slightly, then looked at Jiang Huai: "I'm afraid I won't be able to wait for you."

Jiang Huai's throat choked, "Stretch out your hand."

Knowing what she was going to do, Yun Ci obediently spread out her palms: "Brother, there are no calluses left, my hands are well maintained."

Indeed, bipolar beautiful hands.

Carefully inspecting each finger, the warm fingertips slid across the lines of Yunci's palm. Yunci's fingertips trembled, suppressing the throbbing in her heart, and said helplessly, "Brother, itches."

Jiang Huai let go: "A Ci's hands are as beautiful as her face."

Yun Ci didn't dare to look at her, she lowered her head in embarrassment: "Brother, it's absurd."

In the warm atmosphere, Jiang Huai smiled warmer than ever, but the next moment, a hoarse voice broke the silence of the years, and the door was knocked—"Jiang Xiaolang, is Jiang Xiaolang at home?"

Yun Ci raised her head, "Brother, someone is looking for you."

Jiang Huai hummed, but didn't move.

"Brother?"

Jiang Huai sighed, put his hand on his forehead, and said rather melancholy: "I want to find a chance to see Aci more, but I can't do it, it's so annoying."

When she said that, Yun Ci's blushing face also felt that the person outside the door was annoying, so she made a decisive decision: "Then I will send him away, and come back and continue to show brother?"

Jiang Huai pinched her palm, secretly thinking how could the little girl be so cute?The corners of her lips curled up slightly: "No need, follow me out to have a look."

When someone came in, he would call 'Jiang Xiaolang,' without asking any further questions, he would know why he came to the door.All returnees will more or less encounter this kind of thing.

Zhao Wu came to borrow money.

He spoke very euphemistically, throwing away old friendships, and crying in front of Jiang Huai until he lost the dignity of an adult: "My father has contracted a strange disease in recent years, and the medical expenses are very high. No one in Qinglin Lane dares to borrow money from me anymore. Jiang Xiaolang, you have become a high-ranking official today, can you help me? Zhao Wu is grateful, and I will work hard with you from now on!"

A deed of prostitution was delivered to his door with shaking hands, "Please..."

Jiang Huai refused to accept it for a long time, and the thin piece of paper shook uncomfortably in his hands.

Yunci moved her lips, but made no sound.In front of outsiders, elder brother is the head of the family, and she cannot interfere with elder brother's decision.However, Zhao Wu was a rare person she had an impression of in Qinglin Lane. She met him once, and it was very embarrassing to meet him on that side.

On a snowy day, she accidentally ran into this man crying in the snow, and the grief of an adult was vividly mixed in her hoarse throat. Seeing him shivering from the cold, she asked Nian'er to give him a cup of hot tea.

Zhao's family was in a bad situation, and many people in Qinglin Lane took a detour when they saw Zhao Wu.Zhao Wu was fairly fair-born, with a bit of the frail delicacy of a scholar, and he was once a hopeful scholar.But there was no way, the Zhao family was too poor, and his study path had to be interrupted.

Zhao Wu broke down amidst pleadings: "I really have no way to go. Dad is still waiting for me to feed the medicine. The family has no money to buy medicine..."

He knelt down on his knees and wiped Jiang Huai's dusty shoe surface with his face.He doesn't want any self-esteem or face.

In order for ordinary people to survive, their proud bones are broken under the torture of reality. The moment the bones are broken, the humbleness soaked out is beyond the imagination of Yunci, who was extremely protected since childhood.

Over the years, Yunci has been devoting herself to saving money, and she has not forgotten Jiang Huai's advice.She lives very delicately, and ordinary people can't afford a piece of pastry after a year of hard work. The tea she sips seems to have a soft sound of silver melting before it boils.

Seeing the predicament of being bent for five buckets of rice with her own eyes, she vaguely understood one thing - brother worked hard to earn money and military merits, just to make her a good fairy in the cloud!

As she got older, there were many people who coveted her beauty. She was able to tear off the dog skin plasters wrapped around her again and again. It was not because of Yunci's ingenuity, but because of her brother's military achievements from the border.

Over the years, she has made great military achievements, and no one dared to touch her in the slightest.To move her is to move Jiang Huai, a young general with a bright future, who would not want to easily offend him?

Jiang Huai moved her feet first when Zhao Wu's face was approaching.She also had the collapse of an adult, and it was even more tragic.

She knew Zhao Wu because Zhao Wu was a well-known filial son in Qinglin Lane.There are not many real filial sons in the world, she likes filial sons.

After receiving the deed of sale, Jiang Huai said from the beginning to the end: "The handwriting is not satisfactory, get up."

She looked at Zhao Wu and smiled softly, "From today on, you sell yourself as my brother and sister, I will pay off your family's debts for you, and I will treat your father's illness for you. Zhao Wu's name is vulgar, Zhao Xiu, the word Chun, what do you think?"

Zhao Wuer knelt down without saying a word: "Zhao Xiu has met the young master and the young lady!"

"Big man, why are you crying?" Jiang Huai frowned slightly. She didn't like to see men crying, so she stretched out her hand to help him up, her voice calmed down: "Ah Xiu, pack your bags and go to Jingru Academy. I will help you study, you Come back from the Jinshi examination, let me have a look?"

She laughed: "The family has never been a Jinshi."

"Son..."

"If you agree, leave immediately. I will hang your father's life for you, and I will guarantee you to reunite with your father and son when you come back. Ah Xiu, since you met me and worshiped under my door, you have to change your way of life in this life."

Jiang Huai stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes were awe-inspiring: "Pure filial piety is certainly commendable, but if you work hard to make your ancestors shine and let the white-haired man die with a smile, wouldn't it be the greatest filial piety?"

Zhao Xiu's eyes shook, and tears kept rolling in his eyes: "I, can I?"

Jiang Huai raised her lips, her expression was wanton and unreasonable, revealing arrogance: "It's up to people."

After a while, Zhao Xiu shook his clothes and kowtowed three times to Jiang Huai: "Young Master, Zhao Xiu will remember the grace of rebuilding for five years! Let's say goodbye today, Miss Young Master, take care of it!"

Jiang Huai understood, took off the jade pendant at his waist, and took out 500 taels of silver notes from his bosom, "After seeing the jade pendant, the dean will accept you as an apprentice, so go. At the end of every month, I will send someone to give you Send money, Zhao Xiu, I can light up the road ahead for you, the road is long, and you have to walk it yourself."

"I know."

"Go."

A few words to put people on the entrance wall, and a few words to send people away, Yun Ci looked amused: "Brother's ability to deceive people makes me look stupid."

The arrogance in Jiang Huai's eyes dissipated quickly, and Dun Dun taught: "Employing people must be used wisely. There are birds that have not sung for three years and become a blockbuster. When looking at people, first look at character. If the roots are broken, people will be ruined. Help them up." It is also a scourge."

Yun Ci said that she was taught, and when Jiang Huai had nothing to say, she leaned over, her voice was soft and dependent, she held his arm and said, "Brother, I really like you just now."

Strategizing and calculating people's hearts, seeing the big from the small, I can imagine how handsome and majestic my elder brother is on the battlefield, the young general, and the most outstanding son of the Dayu Kingdom.

Jiang Huai glanced at her, and made a faint murmur in her nasal voice, with two points of satisfaction on her brows: "You don't like what I look like."

The little girl was said to be guilty, she smiled brightly, and joked: "I didn't expect that brother likes to give people names so much."

This is of course the scene of the snowy day more than ten years ago.

Recalling the past, Jiang Huai laughed: "In my heart, Ah Ci is different from those people, you are the most unique one."

"Well, brother knows how to coax me."

Jiang Huai leaned close to her, smiled and said, "Then do you like it?"

"like!"

The words blurted out, Yun Ci was taken aback by her bluntness, and was so ashamed that she wanted to crawl into the ground.But Jiang Huai didn't pay attention, "A Ci, I'm hungry."

The little girl raised her head, "What do you want to eat, brother?"

"I'll eat whatever Ah Ci eats. I'll go to Zhao's house and come back for dinner."

If you kidnap someone's son, you have to make arrangements, and only by keeping your promises can you use your system.Back in Yuzhou City, subduing Zhao Xiu was just her first step.

Jiang Huai's eyes shone slightly, and her eyes seemed to be boundless. She smiled, straightened her back, and waved her sleeves away.

Yun Ci couldn't bear to move her eyes away, she stared at the back in a daze, she never thought about it, brother suddenly looked back and waved at her, with a bright smile, and an indescribable heartbeat.

She wanted to hide, thinking that brother probably wouldn't see the excessive blushing on her face, and waved at Jiang Huai boldly, until the shadow disappeared around the corner, thinking that brother was hungry, Yunci rubbed her hot face face, turned and went to the back kitchen.

When the soldier Song Ji stepped into the small courtyard with his banknotes in his hands, Yunci had just finished the last dish.

"Miss Yun, this is the 3 taels I asked for from the Marshal." Song Ji respectfully handed over a stack of bank notes.

Yunci pinched the banknote stamped with the seal of Longsheng Bank and asked, "What did the Marshal say?"

Song Ji chuckled, "The general saved his life by blocking the knife with his body. The marshal said that the 3 taels is his life money. Let the general spend it first. When the court rewards him, life will be easier."

buy life money.

Yunci's bright eyes glowed with a strange brilliance. She blocked the knife for the marshal, and if she was seriously injured and bled, would she be exchanged for 3 taels?For a moment, holding the banknote, I felt blood rushing towards my face.

Since ancient times, it is hard to repay the favor. It is true that brother saved the marshal, and it is true that he almost died, but he lightly asked Gu Qiunian to pay off the debt with money. What is brother worried about?

With the help of Grand Marshal Gu, it is no problem for Qingyun to go straight up.

But brother refused.

Non-attachment is the attitude that my elder brother used to pass to Marshal Gu after returning to the city.

Brother, do you want to be a pure minister?

The general situation of the court, Yunci, has been heard by some people: Marshal Gu's first sister is the current favorite concubine, and Concubine Xuan has twelve princes under her knees.As the representative of the generals, the marshal is self-evident who he supports.

The prince's party, the imperial party, and the Eastern Palace, the three parties contend for hegemony, and they are each other's shackles.

My brother traded favors for money, and his position was clear that the two were not involved.After thinking about it, Yunci smiled, brother's appearance of sticking to his heart without moving for profit is really cute.

"Vice General Song has worked hard, let's go and rest."

"Yes." Song Ji walked away briskly.

The general dotes on Miss, and usually talks about her in the military camp, but now that she sees a real person, she is as beautiful as a flower, gentle and virtuous, and he would be happy to lose her leg if Miss Yun said something about her hard work.

The golden crow sank, and everyone went to rest after dinner.The candlelight in the main house was flickering, Jiang Huai looked at the clothes her sister was sewing stitch by stitch, thought for a while to untie the belt, took off the outer robe and peeled off the inner garment, revealing the close-fitting cloud cocoon and cicada clothes.

This is a rare treasure of the Eastern Region. To cover her daughter's body, she found it in the Eastern Region for half a year. This treasure garment is invulnerable to fire and water, comfortable and breathable, and it is many times stronger than armor.

Jiang Huai's body is thin, but every inch of her muscles is flexible and strong. She also has six-pack abs that are difficult for women to train. Her figure is perfect.Putting on the precious clothes and covering up her daughter's figure has saved a lot of trouble in the past few years.

She could take a tube of homemade potion and never suffer forever, but after adopting A Ci, she saw that A Ci's figure became more and more delicate day by day, so she gave up the idea of ​​taking the medicine, not wanting that one day A Ci would look at monsters with eyes look at her.

Besides, her daughter's slender and beautiful figure is a gift from heaven, Jiang Huai let herself go on this matter.

After trying on six sets of clothes, Jiang Huai's expression became more and more gentle under the candlelight after touching the soft and fine materials.

Aci is ingenious and ingenious. Others sew clothes by hand, but she is doing it with her heart.One stitch at a time, worn on the body, Rourou tells the story of the master's painstaking efforts.

Jiang Huai couldn't tell how many times, Jiang Huai really wanted to thank herself who lost her soul more than ten years ago, thanked her for not being helpless, and thanked her for holding Ah Ci in her arms and raising her under her knees.

Because of Ah Ci, she was able to see the light of the sky in her struggle.

The night was late and the wind was still, and the nightmare from many years ago suddenly pierced in, causing her painstaking efforts.

Before meeting Ah Ci, Jiang Huai was living in hell—darkness, world-weariness, and self-loathing.She hated the world, hated hypocrisy, hated all words that could drive her crazy.

She doesn't understand love, she doesn't believe in love in the world at all.

Jiang Huai felt cold all over her body. It had been 20 years and she couldn't get out. She hasn't come out yet...

"Brother? Brother?" Yun Ci stood outside the door, hesitating.

Holding a brand new brocade quilt in his arms, he knocked on the door again: "Brother, I can come in if you don't speak. Brother?"

No one responded.

The room was quiet, Yun Ci hesitantly opened the door, feeling apprehensive.There is no response after shouting so many times, my brother has excellent hearing, and it is impossible not to respond when he hears it.

"Brother!"

Yun Ci was taken aback, and walked over quickly, "Brother, what's wrong with you?"

Jiang Huai curled up on the ground, her face was ice-cold, and her eyes were blood red.She was wearing a loose snow-white undershirt, and the sweat dripped down her collarbone, wet her collar, and she was dazzled by her beauty.

She shouted: "Ah Ci..."

"I'm here, I'm here!" Yun Ci put her arms around her shoulders, she was shocked to realize that brother's body was thin, and tried her best to restrain her panic and trembling—what's wrong with brother?Brother, nothing can happen!

Jiang Huai's headache was about to split, and a bloody murderous aura split in his mind like a sword!Breaking free from her embrace, he ruthlessly pushed her away, his eyes were cold, and Yun Ci shivered when he saw it.

Violence abounds.Facing the frightened and worried eyes of the little girl above, Jiang Huai's body trembled, and a mouthful of blood spewed out without warning!

"Brother!"

Blood stained the white clothes, Jiang Huai's eyes were complicated, and his breath was much weaker.

Confused, blurred vision, the little girl's tears flowed into her heart, so hot that she had to struggle to wake up, "Don't cry, Ah Ci."

"Brother, you, how are you doing?"

After a long time, Jiang Huai exhaled turbid air, her breath was heavy, and the Lingtai regained its clarity. She touched the position of her heart, felt sad for a moment, and sighed: "It's just a heart attack."

"Heart disease? When did you have heart disease?" Yun Ci's small face was bloodless, obviously frightened.

A ray of frost spread across Jiang Huai's eyebrows, and she smiled as if nothing had happened: "Ah Ci, it's okay, look at me, I'm fine, and besides, I haven't suffered from heart disease for many years, I didn't expect to—"

The gentle body rushed over!

The little girl's tears fell on Jiang Huai's delicate and winding collarbone, and her stomach was full of comforting words stuck in her throat. She raised her hand and stroked her back tenderly. The syllables that flowed out contained deep attachment: " Stop crying. I was wrong, and I won’t scare you again.”

"Brother." Yun Ciwo choked up softly in her arms, her eyes were red, and she forcibly calmed down: "Brother, don't be afraid, let's invite the best genius doctor over, so what about heart disease, there is medicine to cure it .”

Jiang Huai looked at her dotingly, her eyes were full of affection, words could not express one thing or two.She gently wiped the tear stains hanging from the corners of the little girl's eyes with her fingers, "Why do you need medicine? Isn't Aci the good medicine for me? When Aci is here, I am here."

"really?"

"real."

Yun Ci came out of her arms, took two steps back, and said seriously: "Then I will protect myself from today onwards, and my brother will also take care of myself for me. My brother and I will share weal and woe through life and death!"

It is irrefutable and loud.

Girls can also be tough and unyielding.

Jiang Huai smiled happier than ever: "A Ci, let me secretly tell you a secret, okay?"

"Huh?" Yun Ci blinked her eyelashes lightly, her little face was still slightly flushed because of her impassioned just now: "Brother, what do you want to say?"

Jiang Huai took her little hand and spoke softly.

"..."

Yun Ci blushed and quickly walked out of brother's room.

Nian'er tremblingly waited at the door of Miss's boudoir, the moment she saw her come out of the son's room, her whole body was in a bad mood.

The lady's clothes were wrinkled and her face was blushing. Nian'er's mind was galloping and trampling on her well-developed nerves, and he stumbled: "Miss, you and the young master, you..."

Yunci pushed open the window, and the wind blew away the heat on her face.

——My life, as early as the moment I met you, was tied to you.

Recalling the tone of my brother's words, my heart was beating wildly.Brother doesn't understand love, but if this is the case, shouldn't it be love words?

It's just terrible.

Her heart was disturbed and churned, her face was calm, Yun Ci said lightly: "Nian'er, you think too much."

Ever since I found a lot of albums from Nian'er, Yun Ci's knowledge of personal maids has been constantly refreshed. Seeing her hesitating at this time, she knew that she was thinking wildly, and asked: "Don't spread it indiscriminately, so as not to ruin it, brother clear name."

"Huh? Miss is not worried about her own reputation?"

"I have nothing to worry about."

Nian'er was startled: "Miss doesn't plan to get married, do you want the young master to take care of you?"

Yun Ci smiled lightly, facing the evening wind, her gentle eyebrows and eyes were unrestrained and flamboyant: "Your words are so unreasonable, whoever asks him to take care of him, won't I be allowed to take care of brother?"

"Are you raising a young master? It's not easy to raise a young master!"

"It's not easy to raise, but you have to raise it."

Yun Ci laughed to herself: "It's better for me to raise my elder brother than my elder brother to raise others."

"..." Is this still possible?

Unable to hide the smile hanging on her eyebrows, Yun Ci walked briskly to the bathroom.

The running water slid across every inch of her skin, and the beauty in the bath had a face that was as cold as dust, gentle and sweet when she smiled, and elegant and dignified when she was not smiling.

Once upon a time, she thought that her elder brother was omnipotent, but tonight, her brother's helplessness curled up on the ground awakened her heart.

Brother is not omnipotent, she is just carrying.Carry everything on your shoulders, carry the honor and disgrace of Yunci's life, and carry half of the peace at the border of Dayu Kingdom.

We are all born vulnerable and need to grow.

Elder brother is growing up, Yunci has no choice but to catch up if she doesn't want to be left behind.If you want to give brother a shoulder to rely on, you have to work harder.

Before her elder brother falls in love, there is only one thing Yunci needs to do—forbearance.
