Ye Wenyan didn't have any change in his expression, only nodded, and said flatly: "Yes." Then he looked at the sky, and said, "Let's go in and talk about it, I'm afraid that some things will not be clear in a sentence or two." ”

Zhou Shang also nodded, "Okay, the fourth young lady will go in first, and the slave will go around to the backyard to tie the horse and go to the fourth young lady." ”

This night, Wen Yan's courtyard moved back to the east, and the minions felt that the courtyard where she lived was too small, so they demolished the courtyard wall and hurriedly expanded it. In fact, she didn't care how big the place was, this mansion never gave her a sense of belonging to her family, just like an inn, she came back to sleep at night, and went to do whatever she wanted during the day.

So it doesn't matter if the place where she lives is big or small, this Yipin General's Mansion is just the first place where she crossed over, one day she will leave here, and when everything is over, she will hand over this mansion to the real owner, and then take her own things to find her own mansion and live her real life.

As for the courtyard wall that has been torn down now, she has no intention of asking more, let them do it if they want to do it, and someone will definitely continue to live here in her place in the future. Maybe that person just likes a bigger yard?

Zhou Shang quickly rushed over, in the front hall of Ye Wenyan's room, he hesitated for a while, and finally told Ye Wenyan: "The general has a concubine in the border pass, who has been raised for many years, and the two have also given birth to a child, a boy. ”

When he talked about General Ye and that little concubine, it was basically similar to what Xiao Shubai had said, but he knew more about it than Xiao Shubai. For example, when the concubine gave birth to her first child, she had a difficult birth, and the person was almost gone, and the general called the medical officer in the battalion to save the concubine's life. It's just that the concubine's life was saved, but the medical officer's life was not.

"The sudden death of the medical officer, the general's explanation to the outside world was that he died violently, and he died suddenly in front of him. For this reason, he was sad for many days, not only ordered a thick burial, but also ordered someone to send the clothes back to Lin'an, and set up a tomb for the medical officer's family.

But in fact, he poisoned the man, and the general had prepared the poison before the medical officer came. It's just because the medical officer and the Mu family are old acquaintances, and the family is also a family friend, and when the medical officer arrived at the concubine's residence and found that it was such a thing, he once refused to treat the concubine. But the general had an order, and he had to obey, and he quarreled with the general afterwards.

The general poisoned people to death with a cup of tea, and no one doubted the violent death. ”

When Zhou Shang said this, he also had some doubts in his expression, and he even asked Ye Wenyan: "Fourth Miss, are you strange?" The general took the concubine to live in the border pass for so many years, although the concubine was raised in the town, and the general did not go often. But it shouldn't be that no one in the camp can find out, and no one can hide things so well! ”

Ye Wenyan nodded, "Yes, it's impossible to hide it so well, so there must be a lot of people who know about it over the years, but those people either choose not to say it, or ......" or maybe they don't have the opportunity to say it.

There are many battles in the border camp, and it is too easy to kill one person or a group of people.

She didn't want to think of Miss Night Fourth's father like that, but when more and more things were heard in her ears, she no longer had any hope of turning the tables for that Night General.

"How did you survive?" She asked Zhou Shang, "Didn't the general hide these things from you?" ”

Zhou Shang said: "No, after all, the general also needs a helper." I'm a house slave of the night family, maybe it's more credible than a soldier! So the general didn't hide it from me, nor did he kill me, and it was I who traveled frequently to and from the camp and the town all these years, to deliver messages to the woman or to deliver things, and to take care of the child for him.

Later, the generals thought that I had become a family in the town, and thought that they were my women and children, and the general went to the town to talk to the woman, and when he was occasionally seen, he said that he had come with me and cared for his subordinates. ”

Zhou Shang lowered his head, "Fourth Miss, I'm sorry, I didn't tell anyone about this after I came back, and I didn't tell Madame." Because the general is my benefactor, and I always think that a person of the same status as the general, even if he raises a concubine outside and has a child, it is not a big deal. Maybe the eldest lady already knew, but she didn't want to say it. ”

"Then why say it now? Is it because I asked? ”

Zhou Shang shook his head, "Even if Fourth Miss doesn't ask, I don't plan to continue to hide these things, I always have to find an opportunity to tell you or Madame." Because my health has been getting worse recently, especially at night, I cough up badly, and sometimes I cough up blood. I secretly went to the hospital to have a look, and the doctor at the hospital said that I had been suffering from a chronic poison for many years, and now my days are running out. ”

"Huh?" Ye Wenyan was stunned for a moment, and then beckoned to Zhou Shang, "You come forward, I'll take your pulse." ”

She put her hand on the vein of Zhou Shang's wrist, and her spiritual power worked, and she soon discovered that there were indeed toxins flowing with the blood. It's not immediate, but it can last a month or two at most.

Zhou Shang was still talking: "The general likes to drink a kind of tea, which is a specialty of the border pass, and every time he makes tea, he will pour me a bowl, and everyone envies me, saying that he has to be a house slave brought out by the general from Lin'an, which is closer to each other." Recently, I recalled that I was poisonous, and if I guessed correctly, there was a problem with the tea. ”

When he saw Ye Wenyan put his wrist down, he quickly took two steps back, with a complicated expression on his face.

"Fourth Miss, do you hate the general? Don't hate him, he's actually a really good guy. The soldiers at the border pass all pin their heads to the waistbands of their trousers to fight, and they may fall off at some point. The general promised the officers and men of the three armies that no matter what the circumstances, as long as their bodies could be found, he would definitely take them back to the territory of Northern Qi for burial. If someone wishes to return the ashes to his hometown, he will set the ashes on fire, and then solemnly put the ashes in a jar and bring them back when he returns to Beijing to report on his work and visit relatives. Even if the soldiers whose homes are not in Lin'an, they will send someone to make a special trip to their hometown and send a large amount of pension silver.

For the border soldiers, there is a guarantee after death, and this is the best ending. Therefore, everyone in the battalion loved the general, and everyone said that he was the best general.

The general is indeed the best, he is invincible, he personally goes into battle in every battle, many times he rushes to the front, and even goes into the enemy camp to find out the enemy's situation.

Everyone said that the general's art of war was amazing, and every time a formation was laid out, he could strangle a large number of enemy troops. It was he who guarded the border pass steadily, so that the people of Northern Qi could live a peaceful life, even if not everyone could have fine clothes and food, at least it was a peaceful world. ”

Zhou Shang kept talking about the good of General Ye, even if he had a poison in his body that was slow to death, he still didn't complain.

Ye Wenyan didn't understand, she asked Zhou Shang: "The general poisoned you, why do you still talk to him?" ”

Zhou Shang replied: "Because compared to my life, the general is really good to me." Fourth Miss, you only call him General now, and you don't want to call him father anymore, in fact, I feel very uncomfortable when I hear it.

But I don't complain about you, and I won't say that this is bad, just like what you said to Miss Fifth at the gate of the mansion just now, whether a person is good or bad is not absolute, and if he is not good to others, it does not mean that he is not good to me. Maybe the general is indeed indebted and deceived to the eldest lady in the mansion and to you young masters and young ladies, but he is very good to me.

Even if he poisoned me, it still wouldn't offset his kindness to me. ”

Zhou Shang knelt down, and he told Ye Wenyan: "Our Zhou family used to be a big family, because our ancestors passed down the craft of feeding horses, whether it was the government or the people in the rivers and lakes, they would always send good horses to the door and ask my grandfather and father to help them feed them for a few months." When you come back a few months later to receive the horses, you will be left with a large amount of silver.

Our family has relied on this and lived a good life for three generations. It's a pity that in my fourth generation, my family was framed, my grandfather and father were imprisoned, and after I came out, I was basically abolished, and I was sick. In order to treat them, we sold our possessions, but unfortunately we were unable to save our lives. My mother was so desperate that she hanged herself, and when I was still young, my relatives sold me to someone in exchange for money.

Later, I was bought by the night house, and I worked in the house. I'm actually quite happy to have a place to stay, but I'm also a little disappointed because I can't feed the horses in the future. My family has already passed on the craft to me, but unfortunately I have no good skills, but there is no place to show it. It was the great general's discerning eye who picked me up and took me to the camp and asked me to feed the horses in the camp.

The general told me that the horses in the battalion are meant to go to the battlefield to fight, and they are like people, they have life and blood. Our soldiers must live, and our horses must also live well. Zhou Shang, if you can feed the war horses well, you will be the great hero of the Northern Qi Dynasty.

Miss Four, you don't know, the word hero is the dream of all men in their lives. It was the Great General who made this dream come true, so even if he wanted to kill me, I never blamed him. Just ......"

When he said this, he paused, his expression a little tangled, "It's just that the medical officer is innocent." ”

"So you think he's doing something wrong, right?"

"Hmm." Zhou Shang nodded, "It's really not right, and I don't understand why the general did this." The slave still thinks the same, raising an outer room is not a big deal, and it is nothing to give birth to a child, who is the head of the house, and there are not a few aunts and concubines under the head of the house? Isn't Miss Fifth also a concubine? Why did the general keep it a secret? ”

Shen'er, who had not spoken all this time, finally couldn't help it when she heard this, and said: "What else can it be, because of the old lady." He and the old lady are both out of the house all the year round, and the eldest lady is the housewife at home. He must have thought that if he treats his wife wholeheartedly, he will take care of his mother wholeheartedly at home.

If he let his wife know that he had raised another woman outside, he would definitely be unhappy, and if he showed the old lady a look again, then he would be sad and sad.

What did Miss say about that? That's right, Niang Bao Nan! The general is a mother-in-law boy! ”
