Chapter 57: Jealousy and Hate
During the Spring Festival, it is rare for the general to stay in the mansion, and the general's mansion is lively and festive. Everyone was very busy, and Shu He also felt extremely happy, but she had just recognized Yun Du as her younger brother, and Yun Du went to the border again, and she couldn't help but feel a little worried.
Yun Du went to the border pass, and Jingyu returned to the barracks, first, the military affairs were busy there, and second, the news of the Fanbang Alliance came, so he had to prepare in advance.
Guan Duyuan stayed in the capital alone, waiting for the emperor's edict at any time.
Those etiquette exchanges in the entertainment officialdom, Guan Duyuan knows that they are all coping, or he feels that he has become a raccoon dog with those people, and his hypocritical face will make people disgusted.
Seeing off the guests, Guan Duyuan walked quickly to the main courtyard, and met Ah Lian on the way, Ah Lian explained her intentions, and her master asked her to wait for the general here.
Guan Duyuan thought about it, since Jiang Li was injured in the assassination last time, he had taken care of her for a few days, and he really hadn't been to her yard recently, so without saying a word, he raised his feet and walked towards Jiang Li's yard.
When Guan Duyuan entered the courtyard gate, he smelled a fragrance, which was refreshing, and he walked quickly to the room. Jiang Li was making flower tea, and a few jars of dried flowers were still sprinkled on the table, Jiang Li hurriedly instructed Ah Lian to clean up.
She wanted to bow down, but Guan Duyuan immediately stopped her, saying that there was no need to stick to etiquette. Jiang Li thanked the general with a smile, invited Guan Duyuan to sit down, and handed over a freshly brewed flower tea.
Guan Duyuan took the flower tea, sniffed it closely, it was really good, the mellow fragrance was warm, the aroma soaked into the heart and lungs, and it was so comfortable. He then glanced at the jars of dried flowers that Ah Lian was about to take, and there were many of them, and he seemed to only know hawthorn......
It's no wonder that a person who has been on the battlefield all year round can recognize hawthorn. He lowered his brows slightly, Jiang Li saw all this in his eyes, and couldn't help but smile secretly.
Jiang Li himself also picked up a cup of tea, raised his sleeves to cover his face, took a sip, and had a smiling face.
She raised her head and whispered, "General, how is this tea?" ”
Guan Duyuan took another sip, made an aftertaste, and slowly spoke, "Well, it's good, mellow, sweet in the mouth, refreshing, good tea!" ”
In fact, he doesn't understand it at all, but after being in the officialdom for a long time, it's not a problem to casually break a few words of flattery.
Jiang Li still had the same smile that had not changed for ten thousand years, and said slowly: "The general thinks it's good, that's naturally good, and it doesn't live up to the concubines who have been picking up for more than half a month." ”
She glanced up at him, took a sip of tea to herself, and continued: "In recent days, I heard Ah Lian say that the general has been working day and night to entertain guests, and the concubines have thought that the general has been eating irregularly these days, and he is drinking happily...... This stomach can't be stimulated, all the concubine can do is make a cup of flower tea and nourish the general's stomach, and the rest, the concubine can't do anything for the general, alas! ”
As she spoke, she was embarrassed to say that she was sad.
Guan Duyuan said in his heart: "For me? If you don't provoke a moth behind my back, I'll thank you thankfully, and now you're acting for my sake, hum, what a motive! ”
Guan Duanyuan's face immediately showed a trace of sadness, but he was actually indifferent in his heart. With a hint of sadness, he said: "It's hard for you to think of these things for me, think about it so thoroughly, it's enough to have your heart." ”
The two glanced at each other, and Jiang Li saw that the tea cup in Guan Duyuan's hand was empty, and he filled it again, and filled it himself.
She said while continuing the tea: "What did the general say, it was the duty of the concubine to relieve the general's worries, but how many days ago...... Alas, it caused trouble for the general. ”
Guan Duan saw her lead out the words, and he didn't care about the two sentences, but he deliberately avoided the things that Shu He pushed. "How can you say that! Do you feel any discomfort? Did you get a scar? ”
She stretched out her hand to cover her shoulder, which was the place where she had been injured, and her smile was a little more restrained, as if she said in a sad tone: "Thank you for the general's memory, there is no discomfort, but there is a scar on this shoulder, so as to scare the general......"
He did not hesitate and quickly said, "How can you say that? If you have scars, you are not afraid, I will find you a good ointment to remove scars, and I will ensure that it will not leave a mark, so don't worry. ”
When Jiang Li heard him say this, he was full of joy, but he said: "Don't dare to bother the general, the general is already busy with affairs, how can he have the energy to find ......"
He interrupted her and said, "Well, that's my business, don't worry about it." ”
The two glanced at each other, and then looked away, Guan Duyuan picked up the teacup, and said in his heart: "Specially sent a maid to invite me, it won't be as simple as drinking tea, what is the purpose?" ”
He knows how cunning this woman is, so he doesn't dare to take it lightly and keep an eye on it everywhere.
When Jiang Li heard the general say this, he didn't want to say more polite words, so he had to say: "Then thank the general first!" ”
She also instructed Ah Lian to take some fruits, but neither of them moved, Guan Duyuan had only finished entertaining the guests, and he really had no appetite, Guan Duyuan didn't eat it, and Jiang Li didn't eat it.
She said: "This tea, if the general thinks it's good, I'll ask Ah Lian to wrap some for the general to take away, and the general is outside, so you should also pay attention to your body!" ”
Guan Duyuan was not easy to refuse, so he readily agreed and expressed his gratitude.
Jiang Li said again: "The general came back this time, and the concubine didn't have a good time to serve, the concubine was unwell a few days ago, and these days the general is busy day and night, alas, it's also a hard general!" The General stays tonight! ”
Without waiting for Guan Duyuan to speak, she continued: "I know that the general will soon go to the camp again, this time, I don't know how long I won't see each other, I am in this mansion, how can I live alone!" ”
He thought to himself that he would really say, Ah Lian is not a person, and he doesn't know how to live yet, and it is quite interesting to see her. Fight with this, fight with that, and fight endlessly.
Guan Duyuan paused for a while and said, "Don't think nonsense, cultivate your mind every day, write and paint, or be a little female celebrity, and time flies quickly." ”
He didn't want to say anything considerate, so he simply didn't say anything nice, lest he give her hope in vain. And her purpose today was obvious, that is, to want him to stay for the night.
After a long silence, another cup of tea was down, and he felt that he didn't know what to say to her here except for drinking tea. He was waiting, waiting for an opportunity to escape from here.
Jiang Li is such a smart person, seeing that he didn't reply directly that he would stay, he knew that he was perfunctory, he was still so stingy with himself, and he didn't give a little warmth.
She remembered that at the dinner that day, he still let the grounded Chang let out; The lady threw herself to the ground in front of everyone, and these things were like thorns in her heart, and she was uncomfortable, hateful, and unhappy.
originally thought that he would be different to himself, but it seemed that she was thinking too much, and he was still so ruthless. In that case, don't blame yourself for being ruthless!
Sure enough, it didn't take long for someone to spread the word that someone was looking for a general.
Guan Duyuan, relieved, left from Jiang Li's courtyard as if fleeing, and followed the messenger.
Jiang Li didn't get angry, she didn't believe that he really had anything important, it was nothing more than going to the courtyard of those fox spirits. Ruthless and hateful, she sent Ah Lian to follow secretly behind to see where he went.
Guan Duyuan wanted to leave Jiang Li's courtyard, and finally waited for an opportunity to leave, but he was in a hurry, and he didn't notice that there was a pair of eyes staring behind him.
Guan Duyuan followed the little messenger all the way, and went directly to Shuhe's courtyard, and Ah Lian behind him was extremely angry when he saw him go out.
She trotted all the way back to their own yard and adjusted the door before entering.
As soon as he saw Ah Lian coming in, Jiang Li asked, "Look, where did he go?" ”
Ah Lian was a little timid, and replied cautiously: "I saw the general go to Madame's courtyard......"
Jiang Li's anger suddenly rose, and the "click" of his fingers sounded, and his face was very ugly. Ah Lian didn't dare to come out on the side, she suddenly heard a loud "pop", and she saw a tea cup blooming in the corner of the ground, and the tea was scattered, and her master was already angry, revealing a murderous aura......
