In the General's Palace, after dinner. Aunt He took the sweet soup she made herself to Yunde's study.

"Knock knock~"

There was a knock on the door, and it was Yunde's serious, rigid voice, "Come in." ”

Pushing open the door, Aunt He carried the food box in the handmaid's hand and entered the study step by step. "Master, I'm busy."

Hearing the voice, Yun De put down the military book in his hand and looked up at the comer. It was He Jiaru, the only concubine in his general's mansion. "It's okay, Jiaru is in trouble?"

looked at He Jiaru and found that she only had a hairpin in her bun today. And that hairpin was given to her by herself when she was married.

At that time, Jiaru was gentle and virtuous, empathetic, and every time she thought of having such a beautiful wife at home, her heart suddenly became a lot more stable.

However, he found out that He Jiaru was not at home while he was leading troops to fight all the year round, and ignored his eldest daughter Yunyan, and did not do her duty as a mother.

They began to quarrel, as every couple does. It's just that they seem to be different again.

He Jiaru said that he married her because the He family is a family of businessmen, and there are industries all over the country. And he is the general of the Zhenguo of the Great Yan Kingdom. The two families become in-laws, which is beneficial for both parties.

Since Yunyan's mother died of illness, he has never had the intention of remarrying. It's just that Yunyan is still young and a girl, so you can't take him to the barracks. It's all a bunch of vulgar men, and it's not good after all.

Later, after being introduced, he was selected and chose the most favored daughter of the He family-He Jiaru.

He is already in a high position, and it is absolutely not suitable to marry the daughter of his father who is an official in the court. That will only make the emperor even more jealous, maybe within a few years, he won't see Yunyan grow up and the Yun family will be over.

Looking at Yun De's thoughtful appearance, He Jiaru said softly, "The master has been busy with cigarettes recently, and he slept too late every night, so he was too hot." The concubine prepared sweet soup, and asked the master to suspend the affairs in hand, drink some sweet soup, and rest for a while by the way. ”

Yun De glanced at the food box in He Jiaru's hand, what kind of sweet soup to drink at this time. But you can't just drive people away. Reaching out and pulling He Jiaru's left hand and holding it in his hand, Yun De didn't want her to be suspicious, and hid the doubts in his eyes, as if the two of them had just returned to the meeting when they first got married. "Today, what delicious sweet soup did Jiaru make?"

"I hate it, sir." He Jiaru withdrew her hand with a coquettish sigh.

Placing the food box on the desk, he removed the stack of military books on Yunde's left hand side. Open the food box with both hands and carefully take out a blue, white and white porcelain stew pot.

Wrap the lid in a brocade pad and open the stew pot, pour it into a small bowl, and then place the bowl full of sweet soup in front of Yun De. "Master, try it, this time the concubine has learned from Mrs. Liu. It must taste better than last time. ”

He Jiaru's eyebrows and eyes when she smiled are even more charming, especially today's light makeup, even if she is a, she is still so charming. The eyes that seemed to hide a lot of words failed to fascinate Yun De anymore.

Looking at the bowl of stewed pears with rock sugar in front of him, the wolfberries in it floated and floated, just like two people with their own thoughts, and their hearts went up and down. I took a sip with a spoon and picked up the bowl, it was refreshing and refreshing, and the pear stew was very bad, and it melted in my mouth. One bite of the red dates, sweet, the mouth is full of the collision of red dates and wolfberries.

"Well, it's really different from last time." Recently, because of Yunyan's disappearance, I was irritable, and eating was like chewing wax. However, Yunde had to pretend to be satisfied, and gave a thumbs up and praised.

"Hehe, if you like it, it's fine." He Jiaru pinched the Fang Jinpa and chuckled half-concealedly. The joyful laughter seemed to be filled with a sweet taste.

Suddenly, Yunde's hand holding the spoon paused, his brow furrowed, as if he was thinking about something. There was a slight pursation of the mouth, as if it was an aftertaste.

When He Jiaru saw it, she was shocked in her heart, couldn't she get it right? Hurriedly walked around the desk to Yun De's side, held Yun De's left shoulder with one hand, and asked eagerly, "What's wrong with the master, but what's uncomfortable?" ”

"It's fine." Yun De covered his right hand on He Jiaru's left hand, and turned his head to look at the woman in front of him who used to be anxious about her every move, but now she was eager in her eyes but sincere, he explained, "I'm just wondering. It seems to have the flavor of angelica. However, if you look closely, there is no angelica in the sweet soup. ”

"Hmph, the master is so bad, he scared the concubine." He Jiaru was like a little daughter, clenched her fist and gently slapped Yun De, and explained the reason why the sweet soup has angelica, "Mrs. Liu said that the ginseng slices were wrapped in gauze and stewed with angelica, and then they were fished out, so that it was beautiful, and secondly, the ginseng slices and angelica were relatively warm, and the Sydney pear that can relieve cough and moisten the lungs can just let the old man remove the dry fire." ”

"Well, that's good. However, this sweet soup is delicious mainly because of Jiaru's good craftsmanship. Yun De picked up the bowl and drank the rest of the sweet soup in one go, and said in his heart, now you can go.

Seeing that the foreshadowing was almost over, He Jiaru shifted the topic to business, "Master, Yan'er has been missing for so long, and the concubine is also very anxious in her heart, but the concubine is a woman, and she can't pick it on her shoulders or lift it in her hands." I can't really help much. ”

While saying sadly, He Jiaru secretly forced herself to shed a few tears.

Yun De looked at He Jiaru's pear blossom with rain, and couldn't help but think that when she first got married, she was just a beautiful woman who had just left the boudoir. She would also cry for a dying rabbit, but the tears in her eyes were real.

Thinking of this, Yun Dehong, who was a little impatient, still tried to restrain himself from saying inconsistent words. Holding her hands tightly with both hands, she warmed the cold hands with the temperature of her palms. comforted and said: "Yan'er is missing, I am busy with the affairs of the court, and this general's mansion has to be taken care of by you." Jiaru, it's not that you can't help, you're doing a good job. ”

"Well, as long as I can help the master, the concubine will feel at ease." He Jiaru snorted lightly and said in a choked voice.

"It's been chaotic outside lately, so let's try not to go out." Yunde admonished.

"However, the concubine wants to take Luo'er to Jianming Temple early the morning after tomorrow to offer incense, and petition the Buddha, begging the Buddha to bless Yan'er to return safely." He Jiaru looked embarrassed, and looked at Yun De with low eyebrows.

"Hmm......" Although Nangong Yu has been put in the heavenly prison by the saint, he can't take it lightly. After thinking about it, Yun De instructed, "Send more people to follow, go early and return early, and pay more attention to safety on the road." ”

"Yes, everything is up to the master." He Jiaru got permission, packed up the food box and retreated.
