Chapter 16: Like the Wind
The pond is surrounded by green trees, colorful summer flowers, frogs chirping and cicadas, lively and funny, making people forget that they are in the general's mansion at this time, and forget the tense atmosphere before, but it is like entering a fairyland on earth.
The pond divides the General's Mansion into two parts, one row for the side courtyard and the other for the council hall.
In the courtyard, in the middle room, Mochen was half-lying on the bed, his left arm was exposed outside his shirt, and only a few thin layers of gauze were wrapped in order to breathe.
"General, why are you still sitting up, didn't I let you lie down well!" Rufeng walked into the room with a square wooden plate, saw the half-lying and half-sitting ink dust, quickened his pace, and put the wooden plate on the table, in the wooden plate, there was a bowl of hot noodles steadily.
"I've been lying down for a while, and I want to sit for a while." Mo Chen was like a child, his eyes looked like the wind timidly.
After Rufeng put down the plate, he walked quickly to the bed, supported Mochen's upper body with one hand, and put up a pillow with the other, and put it behind Mochen's back, so that it was more comfortable.
"General, are you comfortable?"
"General, lunch has been prepared by the cook, I told her to cook a good meal, it may take a little longer, I will cook a bowl of noodles first, you also know my craft, just those two times, you make do with a bite first, and then eat it when lunch is ready." Like the wind, he carried a slightly hot bowl and sat in the empty seat next to the ink dust.
"Okay, okay, I'll come by myself, it's not the first time I've been injured, how can I let others feed me if I eat, give me the bowl." As he spoke, Mochen reached out to take it from Rufeng's hand.
Rufeng turned around and dodged Mo Chen's hand, "Your left arm is injured and you can't move, besides, am I someone else?" Come on, open your mouth. ”
Mo Chen smiled dumbly, he understood Rufeng's temperament, and obeyed him on the battlefield, but if he was injured in the mansion, then he would only be obedient.
"You, obviously three years younger than me, are still underage children, and after so many years with me, you have learned a lot of domineering and responsibility." After Mo Chen swallowed a mouthful of noodles, he lightly slapped his thigh like the wind with his right hand.
Rufeng knew that he would not be ruthless, so he simply let him beat him, "That's a must, after so many years with the general, you must learn some of the advantages of the general, but the advantages of the general can never be learned by Rufeng." ”
One person said one by one, although they were in the General's Mansion, their thoughts drifted to that night three years ago-
One night three years ago, in front of the door of Mofu, who fainted in a ragged coat, unkempt hair, and scarred clothes, Mochen found him and took him back to Mofu, and after a night of recuperation, Rufeng woke up the next morning.
After waking up, Mochen didn't ask too much about Rufeng, just sent someone to bathe him, found his clothes and handed them to him, and when the two returned to the room, a bowl of hot noodles had been placed on the table under Mochen's instructions.
Rufeng rushed forward, and after a wolfing meal, he knelt in front of Mo Chen, and burst into tears for a while, "Rufeng encountered misfortune at home a few days ago, and he was already a sloppy orphan, thanks to Young Master Mo's rescue, he took a bath, gave food and clothing, Rufeng's life was saved by Young Master Mo, as long as Young Master Mo did not dislike it, from today onwards, Rufeng wishes to saddle before and after the horse, and look forward to Young Master Mo!" ”
Mo Chen didn't take his words to heart, he was in the General's Mansion, a set of clothes, a meal, he didn't think about how much he would return, after helping Rufeng up, the two sat together, "Can you tell me, what happened to your family?" ”
As soon as Rufeng was helped onto the stool by Mo Chen, he stood up, "Young Master, you sit, just stand as much as the wind!" ”
Seeing the firmness revealed in his eyes, Mo Chen sat down helplessly, and when he saw Mo Chen sit down, Rufeng began to say, "Young Master Hui, I was originally an ordinary family in a high-class city, because my family had some foundations, so I landed a courtyard in a high-class city, and my life was quite comfortable. ”
"Not long ago, when my housekeeper was purchasing goods, he had a dispute with the shopkeeper, but I didn't expect that after just a few words, the shopkeeper hated and complained to the master behind him, not to mention that the master behind him was the owner of Feng's hegemony, Feng Mo!"
Listening to Rufeng's narration, Mo Chen's eyebrows were also a little compact, although he was not very old, he had lived in a high-class city since he was a child, so he naturally knew Feng Mo's personality.
In the high-class cities, most of the generals who have contributed to the Great Cloud Country, or the families that the emperor values very much, or the emperor's cronies, secretly collect information for the emperor in the city.
But there is only one business, and that is the Feng family.
The Feng family's business is not just one, but includes the textile industry, porcelain industry, flour industry and several other kinds of daily use by the people.
Because of this, because the Feng family has a large commercial distribution in the Great Cloud Country, it is natural for them to set up their headquarters in the upper city.
With many industry resources at his disposal, Feng Mo, the head of the Feng family, is arrogant and unreasonable towards people whose status is inferior to him, but those people have no choice, if Feng Mo speaks and puts someone on the blacklist, then unless he has the emperor's will, in the entire Great Cloud, he will not be able to buy any resource items controlled by the Feng family.
The things that followed, there was no need to tell Rufeng one by one, Mo Chen could also think of eight or nine without leaving ten, Feng Moding was to maintain his shop, so as to suppress the Rufeng family, but he didn't expect that the Feng family's methods were so ruthless that they would directly wipe out a family that had a foothold in the upper city.
What made Mo Chen even more amazed, such a big thing, the emperor did not react, obviously acquiesced to the Feng family's actions, and the relationship between the emperor and the Feng family is definitely more than just a simple relationship between the monarch and the people!
Mo Chen looked at Rufeng sympathetically, "Do you still have relatives alive in your family?" ”
When Rufeng heard this, the tears that had been suppressed burst out of his eyes again, and the look on his face had already told Mochen the answer.
“…… In the end, I was the only one who escaped, and our whole family, even the servants and maids, were ......" Rufeng said this, he was already in tears, and he couldn't say a word completely.
As he spoke, Rufeng seemed to have thought of something, and the gaze that had been looking at Mo Chen with hope dimmed again, "Young Master Mo, if you think it's inconvenient for me to do things under you, I can ......leave in a while."
Mo Chen knew at a glance, Rufeng was afraid of causing him trouble, after all, he had a grudge against the Feng family, and this big cloud, I am afraid that no one would dare to take him in.
"No, you don't." Mo Chen interrupted him, "In the future, you will do things around me, although I am not very old, but my identity is here, if the Feng family wants to move you, I must weigh it carefully." I am a family of military generals, and I will definitely fight on the battlefield in the future, are you afraid? ”
