People are in good spirits on happy occasions, the northern victory, the emperor Longyan is happy, and a banquet is held in the Bifu Palace, and the generals who have returned triumphantly are invited to feast, the most eye-catching of which is naturally the new god of war Bai Changjian.

The children of the Bai family are all born in good shape, Bai Guifei, who sits side by side with the emperor, is a stunning beauty, and Bai Changjian, the cavalry general who is the first to sit on the left, is also long-eyed and black-eyed, and is very handsome.

The more the emperor looked at it, the more he liked it, and said with a smile: "General Bai is expensive this year? ”

Bai Changjian got up and arched his hand, and replied respectfully, "The minister is twenty-five years old this year. ”

The Emperor asked, "Have you ever been married?" ”

Bai Changjian was stunned for a moment, shook his head, and Prime Minister Bai on the side hurriedly said: "The emperor cares, the minister is flattered, the dog has been in the army for the past few years, far away, and the minister can't take care of it, it is still delayed somewhat, and now that he is finally back, it is time to set the major events of his life, and the minister is pondering the ...... these days."

The emperor interrupted him, "In that case, I have a candidate here, how about the prime minister?" "The emperor is accustomed to being a matchmaker, and he was a matchmaker for the king of Chu no less than ten times, and he immediately said: "It is the county lord of King Gong's mansion, my cousin, knowledgeable and reasonable, Xiaoqi is good at shooting, can be literary and martial, and is worthy of the general, which is the most suitable." ”

When Prime Minister Bai heard this, he immediately bowed his head and bowed, "Thank you, Lord Longen!" Seeing Bai Changjian standing dumbfounded, he stretched out his hand and pulled his robe, signaling him to thank him.

Bai Changjian came back to his senses, lifted his robe and knelt down, and said, "The minister is grateful to the lord Longen, but the county lord has golden branches and jade leaves, and the minister really doesn't dare to climb high." ”

The emperor was stunned for a moment, he didn't think that he refused to marry on the spot, he was a little unhappy in his heart, but his face was still pleasant, "Could it be that the general has a heart, and if you say it, I will be an adult, and let the general get what he wants!" ”

Bai Changjian smiled bitterly in his heart, he may not be able to get what he wants in his life, even if she doesn't marry, he can't marry her, his identity is there, he can only be her eldest brother.

Prime Minister Bai didn't expect Bai Changjian to be like this, he was startled, and hurriedly smiled and played a round: "Don't be surprised, the emperor is reckless, the emperor is long, the ministers and the dogs are grateful, wait for the ministers to ask carefully, and then ask the emperor to decide." ”

The emperor smiled, "The general is a man of temperament, and he is outspoken, and I appreciate it very much, so let's discuss this matter again." ”

Bai Changjian breathed a sigh of relief, and when he sat down, Prime Minister Bai asked him in a low voice, "Do you really have someone in your heart?" ”

Bai Changjian shook his head, "No." ”

"Then why don't you want to," Prime Minister Bai said, "Isn't the county lord of Prince Gong's family worthy of you?" ”

Bai Changjian's expression was indifferent, "It's me who can't climb high." ”

He was neither arrogant nor humble, his tone was detached, and it was not the attitude he should have when talking to his father, but like a colleague with a general relationship, Prime Minister Bai Cheng had a moment of concentration, and suddenly realized that the son sitting next to him was not the Bai Changjian he used to be.

In the past, Bai Changjian was obedient to him, introverted and cowardly, seeing the eldest lady bullying the second lady, he never said anything, he was originally from the text, he liked to sing poetry and paint, he was an elegant child, for this son, although he did not have high hopes for him, after all, he was the eldest son, and he still valued it in his heart, and planned to wait for Bai Changjian to be a little older, find an official and a half-position for him, and slowly temper himself in the officialdom, with his protection, not to mention the green clouds, at least glory and wealth, and a stable life is indispensable.

Unexpectedly, he suddenly said that he wanted to join the army, and for this reason, the father and son also had a dispute, and Bai Changjian, who was originally very obedient, was very stubborn that time, and he didn't resist him, so he went with him. This is five years, and when I come back, I have changed a person, my thin body has become strong, there is a heroic spirit between my eyebrows, and my gestures are quite imposing, with majesty.

Prime Minister Bai realized that this son had jumped out of his palm and had become a person who could compete with him. This realization was both comforting and unsettling.

After the banquet was dispersed, and when she returned home, the second lady heard that the emperor intended to marry Bai Changjian and the county lord of Prince Gong's mansion, and it was too late to surprise, and she heard that she was rejected by Bai Changjian, so she was anxious, and asked left and right around her son, and Bai Changjian was annoyed by the question, and said that she was tired, went back to the house to rest, and left a room of people in the hall.

The eldest lady smiled weirdly, "In the end, I became a general, and I don't even care about my mother." ”

The second lady is naturally defending her son, "Sister is not strange, he is really tired, he just returned yesterday, in the palace, at home, former classmates and friends came to visit one after another, and he didn't rest much......"

"Yo, did I say the wrong thing?" The eldest lady rolled her eyes, now that Bai Guifei is favored, she is becoming more and more arrogant at home, and she resents that the second lady took her power for most of the year, but whenever she has the opportunity, she will step on the second lady.

The second lady originally thought that her son would become a general, and the eldest lady could look down on her, but she didn't expect it to be the case, and she was very angry in her heart, but because of Prime Minister Bai Cheng's presence, it was not good to make trouble on the spot.

Bai Changjian didn't go back to his house, he kept walking to the backyard, crossed the mezzanine, turned around, and stood in a quiet corner, where there was a separate room, which was Bai Qianfan's former residence. Now no one lives, used as a utility room, which is filled with things that are not commonly used, and very few people come on weekdays, and a thick layer of dust falls on the window lattice.

He stood still, staring fixedly, as if the door had suddenly opened, and a thin girl jumped out and shouted at him with a grin, "Big brother, you're here!" ”

She pointed to her head, "Big brother, look, my own combed hair, is it good-looking?" ”

A crooked bun stood on her head, and as she spoke, it was very funny, and he smiled and said, "Well, it's good-looking, Qianfan is so good, she can comb her hair by herself." ”

"But I prefer the big brother's combed hair," she looked at him with her little head held high, her big eyes blinked, with a little expectation, in fact, how could he comb his hair, his own hair was combed by Yahuan, but for her hair, he was untapped, combed two small tugging on the top of his head, it felt very good.

……

The picture flashed, and the little girl threw herself out of the house and hugged his legs, "Big brother, don't go, don't leave me......" She didn't cry loudly, but just let the tears flow wantonly, and said with a sob, "Big brother, you take me with you." ”

He didn't want to take her with him, but he didn't know what it was like to go outside, and he didn't know what it was like to go to the army, and it was inconvenient to take her with him, so it was better to stay in Baixiangfu, although there were many crises, it was a familiar environment for her to play a small school, she was very powerful, she knew what she was looking for, and she also knew how to avoid danger, and he believed that she would last until the day she came back.

"Qianfan, good sister, listen to my brother," he opened his mouth, tears falling down, "You stay in the house obediently, be careful yourself, my brother will definitely come back to pick you up soon." ”

She hugged him and didn't let go, just shook her head, "Big brother take me away, I will be obedient, I'll wash and cook for big brother, don't leave me......"

He hugged her and cried like a child, he was the eldest son of Bai Xiangfu, with a father, a mother and a sister, but his only warmth was her, in the tormented and long years, only she comforted his lonely and depressed heart.

Seeing him crying, she stopped crying, raised her little hand to wipe his tears, and comforted him softly, "Big brother, don't cry, Qianfan is obedient, and will stay here obediently and wait for the big brother to come back." ”

"Big brother promises you, he will definitely come back, definitely!" He hugged her small body, and felt very uncomfortable, but for her, he couldn't help but leave, he needed to transform, become brave, become strong, and become someone who could really protect her, and then he would be able to save her from the sea of suffering.

It's just that I didn't expect this trip to be five years, and she didn't wait for him to come back after all......
