"Miss, miss." The slightly panicked voice of the maid Qiu Ju came from outside the courtyard, waking up a woman who was pretending to sleep in the courtyard. The woman was eighteen or nineteen years old, her skin was as white as snow, her body was slender, she was wearing the most ordinary cotton and linen clothes, and she was a little white, but she was clean and tidy, and with the woman's indifferent temperament, there was an indescribable comfort. is obviously eighteen or nineteen years old, but he does not have the liveliness and impatience of this age, but seems to have seen the elegance and stability of the wind and waves and then precipitated, and the intellectual maturity. The two temperaments of contradiction and harmony are strangely and perfectly fused together in the woman's body, which makes people unconsciously stunned in place.

"Qiu Ju, why are you so alarmed?" The woman asked without opening her eyes, and called back the maid who was stunned in place. A long black waist length hair was tied behind him with only a wooden hairpin, leaving only a strand of broken hair in front of him, moving with the wind, helping the woman's face. The small melon seed has eyebrows on her face without smiling and bending, her eyelashes trembling, her nose delicate and delicate, and her cherry lips faintly hook up a touch of arc. Obviously not very outstanding facial features, but they are just right to blend together, one more point is vulgar, and one point less is mediocre.

"Miss Hui, I just passed by the kitchen and heard that Chun Tao said that Mrs. has set a family affair for you, and she is a general of the dynasty." Qiu Ju came back to her senses, and was moved by her young lady's calm attitude, so she unconsciously calmed down and replied.

"Oh? General? The woman repeated with some confusion.

"Miss Hui, yes, General." Qiu Ju nodded, reaffirming that she was not wrong. "I heard that the general has a blue face and fangs, and he looks like a wife. When he was repelling the barbarians in the northwest, he accidentally injured his leg, but due to the urgency of the war at that time, he was not treated in time, and his leg fell disabled, and then became a cripple. Since the defeat of the barbarians, the frontier of the Xiangrui Dynasty has been peaceful, and the emperor Longyan Dayue has specially named the general of the Zhenguo Dynasty. It's just that the general has been living in the general's mansion since he was lame and has rarely left the mansion. ”

"Oh? Have you ever heard of how many ladies there are in the general's mansion? The woman asked faintly.

"Miss Hui, the general did not marry a wife, but there are indeed a few aunts in the house." Qiu Ju paused, and when she saw that her young lady didn't react, she continued, "Later, several aunts died mysteriously one after another, and rumors spread in the capital that the general had a wife. There is a woman in the boudoir who does not believe in evil, and she wants to marry the general, and later died for no reason, which confirms the rumor that the general is a wife. Since then, there has been no aunt in the general's mansion, let alone a lady. And..."Qiu Ju stopped to look around, then leaned over and whispered in the woman's ear, "And I heard that some of the maids in the General's Mansion have died for no reason, and the remaining maids are panicked all day long, and rumors spread in the General's Mansion, and the general is so annoyed by the rumors that he sent all the maids out of the mansion." The current general's mansion does not think that it is a woman, and even the subordinates in the gang room are all men. Qiu Ju saw that her young lady didn't react, so she got up and stood behind the woman in a regular manner, so that she could listen to the young lady's orders at any time.

"There are no women in the house... Is it? This saves you trouble. It's just..."The woman's lips were slightly hooked, and her voice was almost inaudible, but Qiu Ju, who was standing behind the woman, didn't hear it.

"Qiu Ju," the woman called out.

"Qiu Ju is here, what do you want from Miss?" Qiu Ju lowered his head.

"It's noon, Miss Ben is a little hungry, go and see if lunch is ready in the kitchen." It happened to be shady under the tree, and lunch was served under the tree. The woman commanded lightly.

"Miss Hui, this... Eating in the courtyard is not in line with etiquette, which damages the reputation of the young lady, and I hope the young lady will think twice. Qiu Ju persuaded, although she knew that it would be useless.

"No, your young lady and my reputation have long been ruined by Madame, otherwise no one has ever come to propose marriage, right?" Although part of it passed through her own hands, of course, the last sentence was not uttered by the woman. "Go quickly, your young lady and I'm hungry, go and come back quickly." The woman urged.

Qiu Ju couldn't, so she had to leave.

The woman opened her eyes, looked around with her eyes cut water, and made sure that there was no spies sent by Mrs. Shangshu around before her lips opened slightly and spit out two words: "Go check." And the treetops in the backyard were windless, and after a while, they regained their calm, as if nothing had happened, and the woman closed her eyes again, waiting for the maid Qiu Ju.

Beijing, Yunlai Restaurant.

"I heard that Mrs. Chu sent the second lady's Geng post to your house, why don't you go back and take a look?" The man in the dark robe asked the man opposite.

The man who spoke was dressed in a cloud brocade robe, his handsome face reflected the morning light, with god-like majesty and innate nobility, and the whole person exuded the aura of a king who was mighty in the world. With black and dense hair, there is a pair of slender peach blossom eyes under the sword eyebrows, which makes people fall into it if they are not careful, but the inadvertent light in the eyes makes people dare not shout. The tall nose and moderately thick red lips are smiling evilly at this time, and the good-looking peach blossom eyes are full of banter to watch.

The man on the other side was about twenty-four or five years old, with black and shiny vertical hair, slanted sword eyebrows, slender black eyes, and thin lips, indicating the displeasure of his master. The angular outline, the slender and tall but not rough figure, like an eagle in the night, cold and arrogant but domineering, exudes a strong force that dominates the world and the world. It is the boiling general in the capital, but it is far from the rumors.

"No, whoever you marry is not married, as long as you are obedient and not like those women in the house before, no matter who it is." His voice was deep and magnetic, but the coldness in his words ruined what was already a nice sound.

"Really?" The man suspected, "I heard that the second young lady is extremely ugly, smells all over her body, and loves vanity." once showed love to the son of the Tobe squire on the street, and after being rejected, he jumped into the lake with a sad heartbeat, and was found by her maid to save his life. You don't care about such a corrupt woman? The man paused before continuing, "Rin-kun, if you don't want to marry..."

"It's okay, I don't have a good reputation anyway." Without waiting for the man to finish speaking, General Gu took over the conversation, "The emperor won't bother with such trivial matters." ”

The man, who is also the emperor in Gu Rinjun's mouth, frowned, "Rinjun, you and I have been brothers for more than ten years, and we have grown up together since childhood, why do you have to be so angry?" ”

"Etiquette should not be abolished." Gu Rinjun insisted.

"That's it, you elm head, you haven't been enlightened for so many years." His words changed sharply, and his tone was solemn, "Rinjun, you have made great contributions to my expulsion of the barbarians for this Ruiyang Dynasty and the stabilization of my dynasty, so I have given you the title of "Zhenguo". If you hadn't insisted, I would have given you a prince, and if you didn't like the marriage, I would have pushed it off for you. My royal sister likes you tightly? ”

As soon as the emperor's tone changed, Gu Rinjun knelt on the ground, and as soon as the emperor's words fell, he said: "Thank you, the emperor, but the minister is not worthy of the princess, so he can only live up to the princess's love." Besides, the minister has a marriage contract with the second lady of the Shang Shufu, and if the minister violates his father's wishes, the minister is the unfilial person. Ask the emperor to fulfill it! ”

The air was as silent as death, and the emperor tapped his fingers on the tabletop, as if he was considering, and Gu Rinjun also knelt on the ground without moving, as if it were wood.

After a while, the emperor sighed, "Alas, that's it, I know your temperament, and I won't force you." Just pity my royal sister... Get up, don't kneel. ”

"Thank you, Lord Long." Gu Rinjun thanked him, kowtowed and got up.

"Master, there is a guest at home." There was a voice outside the door, it was the slave who was guarding outside.

"In that case, I will go back first." The emperor bowed his head and turned to Gu Rinjun, "Rinjun, it's good for me to be your officiant on the wedding day." ”

"Minister, thank you, Lord Longen." Gu Rinjun knelt down to thank him, and waited for the emperor to leave before getting up, a touch of deep thought crossed his eyes, and he was lost in an instant.

"Shunde, what kind of person is Gu Rinjun?" The emperor asked, sitting in the carriage.

"Back to the master, General Zhenguo is an iron-clad man, fighting bloodily on the frontier, expelling the barbarians, and he is also heartfelt to the emperor. And the friendship between you and the general of the town for more than ten years, what kind of temperament the general is, you know best when you come to the master. Deshun replied pertinently.

"Yes, more than ten years of brotherhood." The emperor's emotion came from the carriage, "I am the one who believes in him, or the only one who believes in him." It's just that those people in the court can't see that I have such cronies, so I can protect him by treating him like this. Otherwise... I hope that Rin-kun can understand my deep meaning. ”

"The master has good intentions, and the general will understand." Deshun said with relief.

The emperor was so tired that he did not speak, and Deshun also instructed the coachman to drive the carriage more steadily, only to hear the cries of the vendors on the road and the sound of the carriage moving.

Gu Rinjun sat alone by the window, his sword eyebrows furrowed slightly, as if he was thinking about something.

"General, there's a guest from the house." The voice of the servant outside the door interrupted Gu Rinjun's contemplation. Gu Rinjun frowned, a little displeased, in the end, he did not control his anger. Leaving the broken silver, he got up and left, and asked, "Do you know who is here?" ”

"Back to the general, I don't know the little one." The little guy replied in a panic. The body trembled a little, not everyone could withstand the breath of the general's displeasure.

Gu Rinjun looked at the trembling little guy, his brows furrowed deeper, but in the end he still restrained his breath, "The little guy in the General's Mansion is so timid, what kind of body is it?" Go back to the housekeeper, get the repatriation pay, and make a living for yourself. ”

"Yes, little General Xie." The little guy thanked him tremblingly, and only after Gu Rinjun rode away did he raise his head, looking at Gu Rinjun's back, his eyes flickering. Then he lifted his breath and jumped away, and disappeared in an instant.

And Gu Rinjun, who was riding back to the house, did frown, and then stretched, with a touch of deep thought in his eyes. With a wave of the whip, the war horse on the top of the number rushed majestically towards the general's mansion.
