Chapter 11: The Mallet
The garrison had been busy in the camp all day, and it was not until late evening that the adjutant general urged him to return home early.
"The general has just gotten married, so it's really inappropriate to soak in the camp all day long, and let his wife stay alone in the empty boudoir."
This deputy general's surname is Liu, named Liu Zhaohui, who is Wei Ji's playmate since he was a child, and he is also the closest confidant around him.
There are some things that he only dares to say to the cold-faced Hades.
However, the halberd was ruthless to the enemy, but he was quite gentle to his own people, and Liu Zhaohui made such a fuss, and the young sergeants around him laughed.
Wei Ji glanced at them and said lightly: "You will also be weak, wait for me to show my father, and choose a marriage match for you lone monkeys." ”
As soon as he spoke, the young sergeants wailed again.
Since the late Zhou Dynasty, the south and the north have been in turmoil, the samurai yellow robe uprising, the warlords have seized the court, and the world has been in chaos for 70 years.
Kyushu was divided, the country collapsed, and now there are more than six people with the national name in the entire Central Plains.
Under the troubled times, the people are difficult, and most of the young pioneer battalion soldiers around the garrison are war orphans, they are alone, their parents are dead, and they can live to this day by a heroic force.
Therefore, when it comes to marrying a daughter-in-law, everyone is afraid.
They are not afraid of the weak little lady, but afraid of the recurrence of war, if they die on the battlefield, then how should the ladies live?
The halberd glanced at them and said lightly, "You don't believe in yourself like that? ”
Sergeants, look at me, I'll look at you, and in the end, Liu Zhaohui laughed: "The general looked at what you said, that is, we have that heart, and no little lady is willing to marry us." ”
The halberd raised his eyebrows, and there was a flash of light and shadow in his eyes.
"Not really."
At this point, there is no need to mention it, Liu Zhaohui and another deputy general, Li Jiye, followed and continued to report on military affairs.
"General, the defenders of Yongfeng Cang have reported that due to disrepair, the roof of a granary in Yongfeng Cang has collapsed, and there is a suspicion of rain leakage, and the weather has been cold recently, and I am afraid of heavy snowfall, how is it good?"
Li Jiye is over 30 this year, he is calm and sophisticated, he suffered leg and foot injuries in his early years, so he is only in charge of internal affairs.
The guard halberd put away the hand of the knife for a moment, frowned, and said, "The rest of the granaries can't be transferred?" ”
Li Jiye sighed: "Yongfeng Cang is the old granary of North Vietnam, and now it has reopened the grain tun, and last year to welcome a bumper harvest, the warehouse is full, so there is no extra granary." ”
Wei Ji nodded, and he said in a deep voice: "I know, I will discuss it with my father when I go back, and we will discuss it later." ”
Li Jiye saluted him, and a smile appeared on his honest face: "Recently, there have been many things in the DPRK and China, the prince is busy, and the general has worked hard." ”
The halberd returned with a military salute and patrolled the barracks again before riding home.
When he arrived home, it was past midnight, and dusk had come, and there was only a sunset twilight between heaven and earth.
Wei Ji didn't go to Rongjingtang, he went back to Chunhuating directly.
At this hour, Xie Zhiyun had already had dinner most of the time and went back to the main room to rest, so the garrison was thinking about military affairs while walking, and he didn't notice that there was still someone sitting in the hall.
It wasn't until the halberd took off the arm armor on his hand and handed it over to the little guy Youyu that he saw Youyu frowning at him.
Wei Ji glared at him, then turned around, and saw Xie Zhiyun sitting upright on the main seat, looking down at the fan in his hand.
The two were very strange, but they were not enemies, so the halberd stopped, stood in front of the dining room and asked, "Why is Madame sitting here?" ”
In the past, the halberd would return home before dusk, Xie Zhiyun had a plan in his heart, and he wanted to wait for him today.
Who knew that the halberd came back half an hour late today, so Xie Zhiyun was hungry and waited for him for an extra hour, so he really couldn't give a good face at this time.
Xie Zhiyun was a little nervous when he thought about what he was going to do for a while, and his words were a little harsh.
"Does the little grandfather still know how to return home?"
Even the little grandfather shouted.
The halberd turned on his toes and strode into the hall, he didn't lean towards Xie Zhiyun, he found a chair and sat down.
As soon as he got closer, Xie Zhiyun smelled a scorching Xiao murderous aura.
The lights were lit in the room, shining brightly, and there was no trace of scars and blood on the halberd's body, but Xie Zhiyun could still feel the smell of blood that was so strong that it couldn't be dissolved.
That is the killing intent that the halberd hides in its bones that cannot be eliminated.
Xie Zhiyun subconsciously dodged back, and Wei Ji's heart was relieved, and he laughed slowly.
"What, why can't I get home?"
Xie Zhiyun couldn't help but be even more angry when she saw him laughing, she didn't know what she was angry about, she just wanted to lose her temper with him.
"The little grandfather regards the military camp as his home, leaving early and returning late every day, and he has probably forgotten that he still has relatives at home, and he doesn't want to return home at dinner time."
"What are you going to do when you come back?"
Xie Zhiyun said so, and when he got up, he was going to go to the main room, but the guard was sitting there motionless, and the old god was there.
When Xie Zhiyun walked to the side of the halberd, the halberd suddenly moved, and grabbed Xie Zhiyun's slender wrist.
"Madame, is there something going on today?"
The palm of the halberd was hot, burning Xie Zhiyun's wrist like a charcoal fire.
"If you really delay your wife's business, make amends for your husband and wife."
He can lower his posture, and he is quick to recognize this mistake.
When Wei Ji's deep starry eyes glanced up, he saw Xie Zhiyunxing's eyes looking away, but he didn't look at him.
For some reason, Wei Ji found her appearance a little funny.
Although he is losing his temper, he is almost inseparable from playing with cats, which is really cute.
Xie Zhiyun snorted coldly and moved his wrist: "You hurt me." ”
The halberd's throat slid slightly, and he slowly let go of his hand, but got up and stood up.
Before Xie Zhiyun could leave, he was shrouded in the crook of his arm by his tall figure.
Wei Ji's hand caressed Xie Zhiyun's slender waist without any scruples.
"Madam," the guard's deep voice rang in her ears, "for the sake of your husband's mistake, it is better to have dinner together and make amends for your husband's sake." ”
Xie Zhiyun felt that his waist was very hot, his ears were also hot, and he was not comfortable anywhere on his body.
She took a quick step forward, free from his coercion, and only then did she feel able to catch her breath.
"Let's have dinner," Xie Zhiyun snorted, "I'm hungry too." ”
The halberd watched her slender figure disappear into the bead curtain, and held it in his hand, as if he wanted to control the slender waist in the palm of his hand.
"This delicate character," murmured the halberd, "is harder to raise than a cat." ”
After sitting down together for dinner, Wei Ji realized that Xie Zhiyun was a little different.
He chewed the steamed bun in his mouth, and his eyes fell on Xie Zhiyun for a moment.
He felt that she was a little different, but he didn't know where it was different, until he swallowed the steamed bun in his mouth, and he couldn't tell the difference.
However, Xie Zhiyun was quite uncomfortable by him, and reprimanded in a low voice: "Look at what, eat well." ”
Her angry appearance is also beautiful.
Especially with the red shirt, it looks even more youthful.
Only then did Wei Ji realize what was different about Xie Zhiyun.
She rarely wore a bright red shirt today, and the gown on her upper body was rolled with a circle of rabbit fur, which made her face whiter and cleaner.
The water sleeves swayed and meandered on the crook of her arm, like a sea of flowers in spring, beautiful and affectionate.
Xie Zhiyun only likes to wear plain clothes on weekdays, and occasionally wears goose yellow and willow green, such a water red color, I only saw her wear it a few days after she got married.
It's unusual.
Wei Ji's hand paused slightly, thought for a moment, and asked, "Is there a happy event today?" ”
Xie Zhiyun was hungry for a long time, and her stomach was bloated, so she only held millet porridge and ate it slowly.
Hearing Wei Ji's question, Xie Zhiyun was a little surprised: "Not really, why did the little grandfather ask like this?" ”
Xie Zhiyun called his husband in front of outsiders, and only called the young general or the garrison in private.
In fact, the people of the Suguo Mansion are more accustomed to calling him the little grandfather.
It doesn't seem like there's anything happy about it.
Wei Ji smiled and filled her with a bowl of soup, put it in her hand, and didn't say anything more.
Xie Zhiyun eats very slowly, but Wei Ji is used to the life of the military camp and eats quickly, so when the two put down their chopsticks together, Wei Ji ate two more steamed buns and a bowl of noodle soup than Xie Zhiyun, and he only used seven or eight minutes to be full.
After the meal, the husband and wife were still sitting in the dining room, Xie Zhiyun didn't leave, and the halberd didn't move.
Xie Zhiyun sat there, thinking about Fu Yingyue's words, and his face couldn't help but flush.
After a while, Xie Zhiyun got up and said to the guard: "Little grandfather, please come here, I have something to say." ”
Wei Ji raised his eyebrows, and saw Xie Zhiyun's back disappear behind the Lingge Gate, but he was not in a hurry to look for her immediately.
He let Yu Yu serve a bowl of hot tea, eat it slowly, and listen to Yu Yu's report.
"Today, Mrs. went to Guiyin Temple, seemed to buy some incense, came down from Luoxia Mountain, and went directly to the Gaoyang County Lord's Mansion."
"Madame returned home after lunch in the Gaoyang County Lord's Mansion, and she didn't move again."
Wei Ji fumbled with the mouth of the teacup bowl and muttered, "Fu Yingyue? ”
But he stayed only for a moment, then got up and went out, all the way through the hall to the main room.
As soon as I entered the main room, I was greeted by a warm fragrance.
The halberd walked without stopping, and entered the main room with a beaded curtain shaking.
In the main room is the familiar thousand step incense, with the floral fragrance of jasmine begonia, as well as the fruity aroma of citrus, sweet and warm, which is most suitable for such a winter day.
The halberd bypassed the bird's spring screen, and saw Xie Zhiyun leaning on the shelf bed, her hair was slightly loose, and her long black hair hung down on her cheeks, which was rare to show a three-point charming style.
Xie Zhiyun was only wearing a thin soft pink middle shirt, she supported her side face with one hand, and her sleeves slipped down, revealing her white slender forearms.
The halberd stood still at the screen.
Xie Zhiyun lowered her eyes, she seemed to be half-asleep and half-awake, and she didn't hear the footsteps of the halberd.
For a while, the main room was as quiet as night, and the needle drop could be heard.
Except for the two of them, there were no outsiders in the room, Wei Ji didn't go to look for Chaoyu, nor did he turn around to ask about it, his deep starry eyes settled on Xie Zhiyun, from her smooth bare feet all the way up, along her soft and slender body, all the way to her flower-like face.
Xie Zhiyun's eyelashes trembled slightly, and his breathing was confused for a moment.
Wei Ji chuckled in his heart, but his face was calm, and there was even a trace of doubt.
"Madame, what are you doing?" Wei Ji heard himself ask, "It's cold, but you have to wear more, don't catch a cold." ”
