Chapter 15: Who Will Guard Her Countenance?
In the General's Mansion, the General and Shuang'er were sitting drinking tea and chatting.
Nan Xun walked in and gave a slight salute: "I've seen the general, I've seen my sister." ”
"Sister, get up quickly, we sisters, how can we use this complicated etiquette." Shuang'er said, and came over to help Nan Xun.
The general also said, "Sit down." ”
Nan Xun took two steps forward, sat down next to Shuang'er, and asked, "I don't know what the general is talking about?" ”
"Ugh." The general sighed and said, "What kind of treasure appreciation conference is the emperor going to hold, and we, the courtiers, naturally want to support and participate, but there are no treasures up and down my house, so ......" The general smiled, as if he was a little embarrassed to continue.
In fact, when it comes to this, Nan Xun naturally understands the purpose of the general, nothing more than to ask her if there is any treasure in Yiyan, Nan Xun said: "Madame does not dislike, it is commensurate with my sister, and the banquet is entertaining, I have intended to choose a few to send to my sister to express my gratitude, since I happened to encounter this treasure appreciation conference, I will push the boat down the river and do something that kills two birds with one stone." ”
"Great!" The general was overjoyed, he was really worried about it these days, the emperor did this, the original intention was to be auspicious and festive, and he couldn't take something that didn't catch his eye, but there were no treasures in the house, so after thinking about it for a long time, he couldn't ask people to invite Nan Xun to come.
"By the way, didn't my sister sign up for this treasure appreciation conference?" Frost asked.
Nan Kaoru shook her head and said, "No." ”
"That's right, husband," Shuang'er turned to the general and said, "Catch Ming'er and tell Lord Shangshu that even if you register your sister's name, let's go and have fun together." ”
"Yes," the general patted his head, "I was so busy thinking about my own affairs that I forgot to ask, well, I'll just talk to Lord Sun at the meeting tomorrow." ”
After a few words, the general and Shuang'er had already made a decision for Nan Xun, and Nan Xun wanted to resign, but he was afraid that the general would think that Nan Xun had given the treasure of Yiyandang to the General's Mansion, so there was nothing to participate in. In this case, it is estimated that the general will not accept what he sends.
Forget it, let's go, isn't it just a treasure appreciation conference, nothing will happen, and besides, there must be a general to take care of, it must be very thorough, Nan Xun thought and said, "Thank you, general." ”
After finishing the business, Nan Xun chatted with Shuang'er for a while, and then went to the pawnshop to prepare things. Take Xiao Yi to the second floor, Xiao Yi looked left and right, and seemed to be looking for something.
"Don't look at it, they won't come out in their freshman year." Nan Xun said a word, Xiao Yi was a little relieved, and followed him to the storage room.
There are many rare treasures in the storeroom, many of which are collected from the people, Nan Xun gently caresses these treasures, and feels very kind, although the treasures have spirits, but after all, they are much simpler than people's hearts.
"Little One, what should we take to the treasure appreciation conference?" Nan Kaoru said, turning her head to look at Xiao Yi.
Xiao Yi paused for a moment and said, "Didn't Miss say that she wouldn't participate?" ”
"Alas, I just went to the General's Mansion, and the General has already said that he wants to sign up for us."
"Oh," said Xiao Yi, "we have so many treasures, just choose any one." ”
Nan Xun smiled and shook his head: "You can't be casual, you have to be a rare thing, but you can't be too brilliant, the wood is beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy it, the pile will come out of the shore, the flow will be turbulent, the line is higher than the people, the crowd must not be, do you understand?" ”
"Oh." Xiao Yi nodded with a little understanding.
Nan Xun sighed secretly in her heart, the whole Yiyandang, the younger one and the second, they are still young, they can't help her, the freshman is all martial arts, just protect Yiyandang's safety, no one can help her come up with ideas and think of a way.
Sometimes, Nan Xun also feels so tired, and also wants to close the pawnshop, find a place with beautiful mountains and rivers, marry a good husband, and live a peaceful and stable pastoral life, but thinking that the ancestral inheritance will be broken in his own hands, it is inevitable that he will feel a little ashamed of his ancestors, and finally dispel such an idea, and he struggles to support the pawnshop alone.
"Forget it, first wrap this long sword and this pearl-inlaid gold and sapphire pendant, and send it to the general tomorrow."
"Okay." Xiao Yi turned around and picked up what Nan Xun said and walked downstairs, found a delicate wooden box, and took a look at Nan Xun after it was loaded.
Nan Xun thought it was good, so he put it behind the counter and waited for it early tomorrow morning to send it with Xiaoyi.
……
Early the next morning, Nan Xun finished dressing up and took Xiao Yi to the General's Mansion again.
As soon as I entered the mansion, I heard the sound of several women laughing and playing in the backyard, and the housekeeper who took the lead said: "The general and his wife are in the backyard, and I will take the young lady over." ”
"I'm tired."
After saying that, Nan Xun followed the housekeeper to the backyard of the General's Mansion.
The General's Mansion itself is not big, and the backyard is naturally very small, but although the sparrows are small, they have all kinds of organs. The landscape pavilions in the backyard of the General's Mansion are complete.
The general sat in the pavilion, drinking wine, eating side dishes, and listening to music, which was very pleasant.
In the open space not far away, several women were laughing and playing, and a person in the center was blindfolded with red silk, stretching out his hand to test around, looking at the delicate figure, wasn't it Shuang'er.
The butler stepped forward and whispered something in the general's ear, and the general turned his head to look at Nan Xun, who hurriedly stepped forward and saluted with Xiao Yi.
"Come, come, sit!" The general didn't stand up in front of his family, and stretched out his hand to ask Nan Kaoru to sit down.
When Nan Xun sat down, the general said to the housekeeper: "Go and tell Madame, the sister of the Nan family is here, let her stop playing." ”
"Wait!" Nan Xun stretched out his hand to stop the housekeeper and said to the general, "I don't have anything important to do, let my sister play first, it's rare for my sister to have a good time, don't disturb her interest." ”
"Okay," said the general, "then have a cup of tea and wine, and Frost will probably have enough of it in a while." ”
The general said, and the Yahuan on the side poured a small cup for Nan Xun.
Nan Xun took a sip and said, "Sister is really blessed to meet a husband like the general." ”
"Hey, it should be my blessing," the general didn't know if he was drunk, or remembered the past, and he looked a little lonely.
"The general is too modest."
"Nope! I still have some self-knowledge," the general put down his glass and looked at his hand, "I enlisted in the army at seventeen and was a general at twenty, but I have already worshiped the general." ”
"That's because the general is wise and martial."
"No, it's because my hands are full of blood, it's not an exaggeration to say that I am a butcher, for more than ten years, I have fought in the north and south, killing countless people, if it weren't for Shuang'er, I'm afraid I would have gone to hell, God has mercy, let me still be in the world, it must be to protect her innocent face!"
