Volume 1 The Return of the General Chapter 4 White Flour Pancakes

There is also January for the Mid-Autumn Festival.

The laurel outside the house gate is getting sweeter and sweeter, and every time it comes, the little woman in the street will take off the laurel and make it into a purse, embroidering it with the bright moon or Chang'e, for her family or sweetheart; Or use laurel to knead into the pulp, and use such laurel paper to make a moon rabbit, and every year there are clever women who can show their style at the moon chasing meeting.

Lin Shuangyi stood in front of the mansion, this cinnamon fragrance calmed her mind a little, but she was still happy and nervous in her heart.

General, finally home.

I heard from the people who went to the city gate to inquire that the streets were full of people, and the people of the general's palace waited for a long time before they heard the horses' hooves, so they all bustled and poked their heads out.

"It's the general! It's the general! "A maid called.

There was a burst of excitement in the General's Mansion, but suddenly he was dumb again.

I saw a black horse galloping over, and immediately the people were dressed in red.

But behind her, there was a carriage with it draggedβ€”

A coffin.

I heard that the general has been fighting for five years, and he always carries this coffin, and no one knows what it contains. "Little ......" Lin Shuangyi exhaled quietly, and suddenly felt the bitterness in her heart gushing out.

Xiao Qiao struck the horse, the horse's hooves lifted and then fell heavily, and it stepped on the ground several times before it was stable.

Originally, when he entered the city, Xiao Qiao's face was still proud, but when he saw the three words of the General's Mansion, he felt a trace of pain in his heart.

After a long time, she turned around and said to the soldiers behind her, "Soldiers! We're home! ”。

Then she said in a voice that was almost as long as she could hear:

"We're home."

The general's mansion shouted in unison: "Welcome the general back to the house, welcome the generals back to the house." ”

Xiao Qiao turned sideways and got off the horse, looking at Lin Shuangyi's tearful eyes, when she left, the person in front of her was still a childish little girl, but now she looks like the head of a big family.

Xiao Qiao smiled heartily, pinched her face and said, "Ah Shuang, I'm back." ”

Lin Shuangyi burst into tears, and was speechless for a while, but stepped forward to hold Xiao Qiao's hands tightly and helped Xiao Qiao to walk towards the lobby.

-

Xiao Qiao looked at the mansion, Lin Shuangyi did a good job, and she was very satisfied.

went to the ancestral hall to worship the martyrs, and after taking off her armor, she went to sleep with her head bored.

Lin Shuangyi went to get her clothes while she was sleeping, and found a rough linen black dress, dirty, with soil on it, and the key is that there was a footprint on the buttocks. And there is a money bag wrapped in this dress, the money bag is very delicate, and it is a little heavy, Lin Shuangyi opened it and looked at it, and his face changed.

There was no silver tael in the money bag, it was full of gravel, and there was a little Gritch hiding these spicy smelling powders......

Lin Shuangyi's heart suddenly became sour, and she looked at Xiao Qiao who was sleeping with tears in her eyes: What kind of sad days the general is living, it's so distressing.

But what she didn't know was that Xiao Qiao's dream at this time was full of slender and tender hands.

-

In the past five years, there have been many newcomers to the General's Mansion, and many maids have never seen Xiao Qiao. Now that I see her demeanor, everyone envies Lin Shuangyi's fate and wealth, and she married Xiao Qiao as the general's wife of Beiqi.

"Little Sugar, what is this, it smells so good!"

"Sister Xiaoyou, this is my ...... The honey cream I bought. The maid looked around and whispered.

"You little girl, don't you have a crush on which?"

"Sister Xiaoyou! I won't tell you, but don't tell Madame! Xiao Tang leaned close to Xiao You's ear and whispered, "Fang Cai, the sisters are all discussing, our general is too good-looking, that temperament!" That figure! Now, 'the girl in the royal capital wants to marry the most', I think our general has the first place. ”

Xiao You smiled and patted her: "Didn't you still have a 'Gongzi Muyi, Gongzi Muyi' the day before yesterday!" Girl! ”

"Oh, Sister Xiaoyou, don't make fun of me anymore, I really envy Madame, you say, I am also from a maid, how can this lady's life be so good!"

"Each has its own number of lives, but if you think about it, in the past five years, every festival, other families are all members of the group, our wife of the general house, up and down to a column of spiritual positions chanting scriptures and virtues, no husband in front of the pillow, no daughter under the knees, how difficult! Now it's God's blessing to Mrs. ”

"By the way, Sister Xiaoyou, you came earlier than me, do you know when Madame got along with the general? How good are they!! Ask for the cheats of chasing husbands! ”

"I may not be able to chase the general, but I'm not impossible, sister, what about me?"

Xiao Sixteen's voice suddenly sounded behind them, startling them.

This Xiao Sixteen is Xiao Qiao's deputy general, his facial features are very upright, and his smile is really merry, although there is a shallow scar under his eyes, but it is like a tear, which makes people feel pity.

Xiao Qiao woke up at dinner and saw that the three of them were chatting about eyebrows, and he knew that Xiao Sixteen was inexplicably showing his personal charm again.

In the evening, the General's Mansion held a banquet to entertain all the soldiers, which was the unique liveliness of the General's Mansion in the past five years.

Lin Shuangyi accompanied Xiao Qiao to pay tribute to the soldiers one by one, and Xiao Qiao's face was full of a look of giggling.

"I heard that yesterday, the general went to do something big?" Xiao Qiao raised his head, looked at the person who came over, smiled awkwardly, and complained in his heart about why Dafu Erfu had such a big mouth!

The person who came was Xiao Sixteen.

Xiao Qiao gave a dozen looks: Lin Shuangyi is still here, dare to say that he will kill you later.

Sixteen also gave her a look: what kind of garbage, dare not do it.

Lin Shuangyi looked at the expressions of the two of them, and knew that they had something to say, so she let the maid help them down.

But when I passed by Sixteen, I looked up at him, and my eyes were clearly full of tenderness.

Sixteen also noticed Lin Shuangyi's expression, coughed softly, and waved at Lin Shuangyi: "Madam." ”

"Heyβ€”" Xiao Qiao slammed his mouth, but there was a forced smile on his face.

"If you are like this today, you are not afraid of offending the emperor?" Xiao Sixteen asked her.

"If you look at my wife, aren't you afraid of offending me?" Xiao Qiao smiled evilly.

"I think Ah Shuang is my sister, but you are also my younger brother as Emperor Daqi?"

"Don't dare, don't dare, don't dare." Xiao Qiao hurriedly toasted sixteen glasses.

"Then why don't you go and see him? The general triumphed, and if you don't go to the court to pay homage, I don't know how many people in the court will scold you for being self-reliant. ”

"So what do they want to do? My own work, my own support, what does it matter to them......"

Xiao Sixteen smiled heartily, gave Xiao Qiao a glass in return, and asked, "Then what do you plan to do in the future?" ”

"Surrender the right to the army, be an idle officer, and enjoy leisure quietly." Xiao Qiao thought for a while and replied seriously, "Revenge has also been avenged, and grace has been avenged, the matter of the court itself has nothing to do with me, and I never think it is a good place." ”

"What if he refuses?"

Xiao Sixteen said that he was the emperor Gu Beixuan.

Xiao Qiao was silent for a while: "I didn't think about it. ”

"Xiao Er," Xiao Sixteen looked at Xiao Qiao's eyes seriously and said, "You said that you really live a free life, just stay away from him, the farther away the better, the palace is by no means a good place, and the court is too." ”

Palace? Xiao Qiao smiled faintly.

If fate can escape, she also hopes that she has never met Gu Beixuan.

-

In fact, the people who want to escape the palace and Gu Beixuan are not only Xiao Qiao, but many people about that chaos.

-

When Mu Yi sneaked into the harem, there was no light outside the palace in front of him.

This palace is called Fuqiang Palace, and it is located in the most remote location of the Northern Qi harem.

In the first year of Beiqi, I don't know where a woman who is said to be extremely ugly appeared, she was named Concubine Xiao, ranking the most in the harem, but after being canonized, she was imprisoned in the dark and cold Fuqiang Palace, no one knew what her name was, and few people knew what she looked like, only that she definitely didn't like Gu Beiling, so few people mentioned her.

Pushing open the palace gate, he smelled a smell of corruption spreading around the Fuqiang Palace. The weeds withered into clumps. It's very depressed.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Concubine Xiao. ”

Mu Yi lit a lamp in the temple.

There was a woman squatting in the center, her black hair was scattered all over the ground, her clothes were disheveled, she was stuffing more than half of the cake into her mouth at this time, and she was also stunned when she saw Mu Yi, and her hands were blocked in front of her eyes to cover the sudden light.

Ki caught a glimpse of a rat hidden in her hair. If it weren't for the scarlet scar that spread from the corners of her eyes to the bottom of her clothes, Kiichi would have thought she had found the wrong person.

This person is Concubine Xiao.

Mu Yizhi knew that this woman was carrying a huge sin on her back, and as for what it was, he had never heard Gu Bei Jue mention it.

Because Concubine Xiao was crazy and stupid, and Gu Beixuan didn't come, the palace maid naturally slacked off. The palace doesn't know what the origin of the woman is, and she has the highest reputation, but she is the end.

But every year on the end of the year and Chinese New Year's Eve, Gu Beiji would walk in here and stay for a whole day and night.

Therefore, only before Chinese New Year's Eve, the aunt who will be in charge of affairs will take the palace maid to clean this Fuqiang Palace, but for some reason, the Fuqiang Palace is not alive, so the new living plants moved on Chinese New Year's Eve generally wither after a few days.

When Concubine Xiao saw someone coming, she quickly hid the cake in her sleeve, looked at Mu Yi through her hair, looked at this person familiarly, tilted her head and looked at it for a long time, and then reluctantly took out half of the cake in her sleeve, broke it in half, and handed it to him.

It took a long time for the mouth to open before the word "cake" came out of his throat dryly.

The corners of Mu's mouth twitched at the thought of the mouse, and he was silent for a while.

"Concubine Xiao, General Xiao has won a great victory." Mu Yi stared closely into her eyes, trying to get a glimpse of Concubine Xiao's emotions. But Concubine Xiao's eyes were a calm dead silence.

"General Xiao returned triumphantly and brought back the coffin." Mu Yi continued to say lightly.

Concubine Xiao tilted her head to look at the cake and then at Mu Yi, wondering why such a person didn't even like the cake, slowly retracted her hand, and then suddenly turned around and stuffed the cake into her mouth, and then looked at Mu Yi with joy.

"......" the corners of Mu Yi's mouth twitched, but he still said lightly, "It's delicious...... You just eat more. ”

-

A long time after Mu Yi left, a graceful and luxurious woman with a good face came out from the depths of the main hall, looking at the tightly closed door, a sneer flashed at the corner of her mouth.

When she was about to leave, the messy haired Concubine Xiao rushed over and hugged her legs, with "cake, cake......" in her throat

The woman was not annoyed, she just squatted down gently, pinched Concubine Xiao's dry face, and rubbed her fingertips against the scarlet scar on her face.

His eyes were clearly full of disgust, but his words were soft.

"You want a?" The woman asked.

Concubine Xiao nodded happily.

The woman took out a cake from her sleeve, and the cake was clearly green with mold, and handed it to Concubine Xiao, who was about to take it, but the cake rolled to the ground.

Concubine Xiao let go of the woman's legs to pick up the cake.

The woman stood up and patted the ashes on her body, and whispered, "As long as you keep this skin, do you want white flour?" Some are ......"
