Chapter Eighty-Four: The Reason for the Little General's Indifference
Except for changing horses at the post station on the way, Feng Chujiu almost didn't stop all the way, and it took about a day and a half to finally rush back to the capital.
General's Mansion –
"General, the little general is back."
A soldier trotted all the way to the back garden and said to a middle-aged man holding a teenage boy in his hand.
"Hmm."
The middle-aged man just replied lightly, not seeming to care, and then took a small object in his hand with a doting face, bent down and said to the boy at hand:
"Chengcheng, do you like this bracer? If you like it, Daddy will immediately order someone to call you a pair. ”
The attitude was simply two extremes, and the soldier's expression froze on his face for a while, not knowing what to say.
As he was talking, Feng Chujiu had already walked in, and when he saw Feng Wenhan and his younger brother, his brows furrowed slightly, and he quickly stretched out, walked forward quickly, and saluted Feng Wenhan with a fist:
"Father."
"Well, I heard that the emperor summoned you back to Beijing to receive the reward?"
Feng Wenhan finally raised his eyes and looked at his daughter, but his tone was still indifferent.
"Yes, in the case of the absolute superiority of the enemy, my daughter, together with several generals under her command, led the soldiers to win this battle."
Feng Chujiu mentioned this, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise slightly, a little proud in it, after all, with fewer enemies and more battles, it was too difficult to win beautifully, but he did it.
"But the father thinks that you are not doing well and should not be rewarded."
Feng Wenhan looked at her, and his tone changed a little, but it was aggravated by what he said.
"Why?"
Feng Chu Jiu's face couldn't help but sink a little, and he frowned when he looked at his father.
"In this battle, our side has suffered heavy casualties, they are your men, listen to your command, then you should minimize the casualties.
But more than half of the soldiers were killed and wounded this time, and you acted like this, how can I rest assured that I will hand over the talisman to you?! ”
Feng Wenhan looked at her, as if he felt that she shouldn't ask, and his tone was obviously a little displeased.
Feng Chujiu's smile finally disappeared, and he said with some disbelief:
"Father, daughter almost died on the battlefield..."
"Defend yourself against the enemy, that's your duty."
"Then why did they also defend the territory, and they stayed there, blaming their daughters for not being well commanded?"
Feng Chujiu looked at the man in front of him, and only felt strange, this was no longer his own problem...
"You..."
Feng Wenhan was put on a swing by Feng Chu Jiu, and he was speechless for a while, but after thinking about it, he said:
"What? After a few months at the border, without my control, the more arrogant you became, and you dare to talk back? ”
If it was in the past, Feng Chujiu might have lowered her head and acquiesced to her mistakes, but since she saw something in her dream, now Feng Wenhan's attitude made her feel cold, sneered, looked directly into Feng Wenhan's eyes and said:
"Father, aren't you just afraid that your daughter will take the talisman and no longer listen to your command and no longer be at your mercy, so you always find a reason to refuse...
The dissatisfaction with me is all an excuse!! ”
"Smack!"
Feng Wenhan listened to her words, became angry, and slapped her in anger for a while.
Feng Chujiu was not surprised that his father would do this, such a "lesson" from childhood to adulthood was already light, his head tilted to the side, and he didn't say a word.
After all, Feng Wenhan is also a person who practices martial arts, and his strength is naturally not small, Feng Chujiu felt a hot pain on his face, and half of his cheeks were already red and swollen, and he was silent for a while, and his tone was also cold:
"My daughter does her best every time to win every battle, thinking about the safety of the people and listening to her father's approval...
But in the father's heart, the daughter only has the talisman in her eyes, so now the daughter doesn't understand, whether you can't let go of the talisman, or the daughter really wants it!
The father acted like this, which really chilled his daughter's heart. ”
"You!"
Feng Wenhan heard that instead of admitting her mistake as usual, he forced himself again, raised his hand and wanted to hit her again.
"Daddy!"
This slap did not fall, and was stopped by Feng Nancheng's father.
Feng Nancheng looked at Feng Chu Jiu a little nervously, and then carefully took Feng Wenhan's hand and said softly:
"Dad, I don't like this bracer... Take me to see something else..."
"Okay, Cheng'er, dad will take you there."
Feng Wenhan's face changed very quickly, and he responded warmly to his son, and before leaving, he looked at Feng Chujiu fiercely and said:
"Your brother intercedes for you, I won't pursue your rudeness, and I will reflect on it myself."
Feng Chujiu's heart suddenly became pantothenic, since he was a child, he had never heard Feng Wenhan's tone speak, and every time he heard it:
"Can't you do it so easily?"
"You're not good enough? How did I teach you? It seems that you haven't listened carefully! ”
"I'm so disappointed, I've thought about it!"
Thinking about it again, his father's attitude towards his younger brother, Feng Chujiu's eyes somehow felt sour, and he looked up at the sky, wanting to hold back his tears.
As for Feng Wenhan's attitude towards himself, Feng Chujiu has been a little withdrawn since he was a child, and he doesn't like to talk or contact people.
The soldier behind him hadn't left yet, and he had just witnessed the whole process, and he could feel that Feng Chujiu's mood was very low without looking, and he shouted a little cautiously:
"Little General?"
"Hmm."
Feng Chujiu hummed lightly, indicating that he could hear it.
"The general thinks it's all this kind of temper... Don't take it to heart... ”
The soldier stood behind him, his voice not loud, and there was some comfort.
"But you also see... Father's attitude towards Nancheng. ”
Feng Chujiu is rare, and he argues with him for a few sentences.
"This..."
In one sentence, the person was blocked from speaking, and outsiders like them could see that General Feng was almost spoiled on his son, but he was always strict with the little general.
Feng Chujiu smacked his lips, tasted a smell of blood, endured it, and suppressed this regurgitation because of blood.
"It's useless to talk too much, and I'm leaving."
Feng Chujiu smiled a little self-deprecatingly, raised his feet and went back to his yard, although the young soldier was a little worried, he was helpless...
Back in the courtyard, Feng Chujiu adjusted his mood, pushed the door in, and smiled on his face:
"Spring and snow!"
As soon as she finished speaking, several little girls of her age ran out of the house, ran towards her, gathered around, and said with a smile:
"Miss!"
"Miss, you're back!"
"Miss!"
"Miss, Miss!"
These four maids were bought by my mother at the beginning, but my father originally disagreed, saying that too many people would inevitably be pampered... The mother insisted that the four of them be her companions, and the matter was settled.
The four of them entered the house at the age of six or seven, accompanied Feng Chu Jiu to write and write, and accompanied her to practice martial arts.
And Yangchun Baixue is their name, Ah Yang, Ah Chun, Xiaobai, Xiaoxue!
"You guys, did you miss me?"
Feng Chujiu saw them and felt a lot better.
"Of course!" A few little girls said with a smile, but one of them was looking at her, and suddenly her smile stiffened, and she frowned and said with some distress:
"Miss... Did the master beat you again? ”
As soon as these words came out, the other three also looked at her half of her flushed face.
"Ah Yang, it's okay, blame me for saying a few more words..."
Feng Chujiu saw that they were a little distressed and angry, and hurriedly explained.
"Miss... Miss Su still has some ointment that she prepared before, I'll take it and apply some to you..."
Ah Yang's eyes were red, and he didn't say anything more, changed the topic, and went into the house to get something.
Su Yange had found that Feng Chujiu sometimes came to look for him before, and her faces were obviously asymmetrical, and she didn't let go after asking for a long time, it turned out that Feng Wenhan always liked to beat her like this, and no matter if there was anyone next to her, he didn't give face at all...
Su Yange was distressed, but Feng Wenhan was also his elder, and he had no contact with him, and he couldn't speak, so he could only prepare some ointment for her to relieve pain and swelling, and let her wipe it.
Outsiders know that they feel sorry for Feng Chujiu, but their father never knows that Feng Chujiu feels funny and sad.
"Miss, next time you're going to the barracks, take a few of us."
A little petite looking girl took her arm and said.
"Xiaobai, don't mess around, that kind of place... It's all big men, you little girls with fine skin and tender meat can't stand it. ”
As soon as Feng Chu Jiu heard Xiaobai say this, he was a little anxious, and he had a somewhat blaming tone, wanting to dispel her thoughts.
"But Miss! Aren't you a girl..."
The girl standing next to Xiaobai was a little angry at the moment, pouting and looking at Feng Chujiu very dissatisfied.
"Ah Chun... I'm used to it, it's okay... Moreover, the barracks are not as hungry as the house...
I'm used to my fineness, you haven't been in contact, and the war is about to break out, I may not be able to protect you! ”
Feng Chujiu had no choice but to soften his voice and comforted him with some flattery.
She knew that these girls were not talking about fun, although they sometimes looked fierce to themselves, they were all fakes, and they were all worried about their own little bits.
"No! Miss, we will go with you and take care of you this time. ”
Ah Chun's undoubted tone stared at Feng Chujiu and said:
"We're practicing martial arts with you, it's not a three-legged cat kung fu, and since you went to the barracks, we've been spending less and less time a year.
A few of us are not happy at all in the house, and we are worried all day long, so it is better to let us watch you by your side, and we have a settlement in our hearts. ”
"Miss, the ointment has been found, let's go into the house."
Feng Chujiu was thinking about it, and Ah Yang stood at the door of the room and called her, making her seem to have found a life-saving straw, and hurriedly slipped away from Ah Chun and the others.
"Shhhhh
The ointment was applied, and it was cold, but it hurt a little when the fingertips brushed over the red and swollen areas.
"Miss... Really..."
Xiaoxue was a little dissatisfied while gently smearing her wounds:
"Obviously, the young lady took over the master's position, so the master can be more leisurely in the house, but the young lady is desperate outside, but she can't withstand the young master's gossip."
A few of them were in the house, so they naturally knew what Feng Wenhan's attitude towards Feng Nancheng was, and they didn't say anything about it, but they were upset for their young lady in their hearts.
"Nancheng is young... Father has me to replace him, and it's right to cultivate Nancheng more... Maybe the Feng family will be able to produce a literati in the future. ”
Feng Chujiu can't hate his younger brother coming, because Nancheng is too well-behaved...
What to say, at this time there was a knock on the door outside the yard, and there was a childish child's voice:
"Sister... Please open the door and let me in..."
"Miss..."
Xiaobai looked at it, as if to see what she said.
"Go open the door..."
Feng Chujiu sighed, and then said to Xiaoxue:
"Put this medicine away first, and we'll talk about it later."
"Okay."
Xiaoxue nodded, carefully put the ointment back into the small wooden box and put it away, Xiaobai saw that she had cleaned it up, and then went to open the door for Feng Nancheng.
As soon as he opened the door, the little guy outside was holding a box in his arms, and he leaned in a little anxiously.
"Big Young Master..."Xiao Bai just wanted to salute, but was held by Feng Nancheng's arm.
"Sister Bai, can the eldest sister be in the house?"
Feng Nancheng blocked her etiquette and focused on Feng Chu Jiu.
"Yes, Miss just came back."
Xiao Bai looked at his concerned expression, sighed and replied truthfully.
Although he knew that Feng Wenhan was in the sky and on the ground for him and Miss, he looked at the appearance of the young master... I really can't bear to be indifferent to him.
Feng Nancheng entered the courtyard, holding a wooden box in his arms, and staggered into the house, and said to Xiaobai without looking back:
"Thank you, Sister Bai!"
