Chapter 17: The Virtue of the General

In the main courtyard of the Annan Palace, Wen Changling, who was wearing a royal blue brocade robe, with a silver-white jade belt around his waist, and a folding fan in his hand, showed a bit of cynicism, and stepped forward and asked with a smile: "How did you get together with the girl next door?" ”

"Didn't you hear you knew her before?"

Today's Hua Jingyun wore a silver-trimmed azure brocade robe, and the robe embroidered with green bamboo set off him more and more elegantly, and he also had a heroic appearance belonging to a young man.

Facing Wen Changling's curious and elegant gaze, the corners of Hua Jingyun's lips hooked slightly, "There is a wall between the two mansions, you don't know too much." ”

Wen Changling put away the folding fan with a 'snap', and covered his mouth with a smile that was meaningful, "It's amazing, I always thought that you were an old monk and didn't move your heart." ”

"But..."Wen Changling's words changed, "There are a lot of troubles next door recently, and your brothers have already learned about the old man's affairs, and they will take action today if nothing else." ”

"After all, you're going to be hired next door tomorrow."

Hua Jingyun smiled indifferently, "General Wen has come to this day from scratch, not by virtue of bravery. ”

"It shouldn't be a big deal for him."

Wen Changling shook off the folding fan with another 'snap' and shook it, "I hope so." ”

Suddenly there was a cicada chirping in the courtyard, Hua Jingyun looked sideways, and heard the intermittent voice sound a few times, "Summer is coming." ”

Wen Changling held the pot and poured tea, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, "It's time to be lively again." ”

The scorching sun is rising, and the early summer sun has shown its power, so that the people bathed in the sun have two points of dryness, and the majestic palace in Kyoto is majestic and immense.

In the imperial study, sunlight penetrates through the glass windows, illuminating the spacious and bright room.

The emperor's face was condensed, and he looked at the man kneeling below with a sad and angry face, and his temples jumped suddenly.

Wen Mian's eyes were slightly red, and he was angry and aggrieved, "Your Majesty, you have to make decisions for the last general in this matter." ”

"The emperor of the last general's father knows, just the courage that is two points weaker than a rabbit, how could he do such a thing, in the past two days, he first learned that his coffin book was gone, and then he was threatened that he put in the seal money, and his eyes were swollen from crying."

"If it hadn't been for the last general's daughter who found it in time last night, I'm afraid that I would have to take the only bottles and cans in the house to resist, and the last general... The last general was angry and anxious. ”

"Ask the emperor to be the last general."

The emperor's face was pale, and he was quite unhappy when he saw that his general was delayed by these trivial matters in the palace all day long, and he couldn't train his troops on errands.

"Let me ask you, you have been complaining all the year round, why does your father have 120,000 taels?"

The clerk looked like he wanted to speak and stopped, and finally sighed heavily, "The 120,000 taels are almost seventy percent of the income in the Weichen Mansion over the years, and the father of the last general... Hey..."

Seeing his unspeakable appearance, the anger in the emperor's heart was a little less, after all, General Wen Sheng's father was timid and cowardly, and he had also heard of rumors that he was like a woman.

This person dared to give out the money of the seal, to be honest, he was also a little unconvinced.

The anger is gone, and I am also in the mood to deal with these things, "How did you check?" ”

The clerk hurriedly said: "The last general sent someone to follow Hou San'er early this morning, this is the money of the seal, and the father of the last general is threatened, the last general is bound to fish out the big fish behind it." ”

The emperor glared at him dissatisfiedly, "It's just putting the cart before the horse, now that the border is unstable, you may have to use troops at any time, you should focus on business." ”

"As for the thorough investigation of the release of the money, I will be responsible."

Wen Mian's face was moved, and he quickly kowtowed to thank him, "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”

After that, he raised his head, "Your Majesty, the last general's father was deceived of 70,000 taels this time, if he finds out, can he come back?" ”

Just before the emperor was about to get angry, the clerk said first: "Don't be afraid of the emperor's jokes, the last general's mansion is now gone with all the money for the dowry for his daughter." ”

"The last general is such a girl......"

"Shut up!"

The emperor stroked his forehead, "After this matter is clarified, I will talk about it, your daughter married my son, and I can't afford to lose your face." ”

The clerk stood silently, the meaning was self-evident, the emperor looked at him angrily, and finally lost again, "I will give you five thousand taels of silver, give you emergency relief, and wait for your money to be returned to you, it's okay, hurry up." ”

The dead beggar got his son to chongxi, and now he has to pay for the dowry out of his pocket!

It's really wronged, how can his famous general be so virtuous?

The clerk reluctantly walked out of the imperial study, bathed in the sun, his eyebrows slightly raised, and the corners of his mouth were faintly colored.

As soon as he arrived at the yamen of the military department after leaving the palace, the little beggar in the alley opposite the yamen stepped forward and gave him a letter, and ran away without waiting for him to ask.

Seeing the contents of the letter, the corners of the clerk's mouth raised a touch of sarcasm, and he was glad that he found it in time, otherwise it would have taken some effort to deal with it.

The sun rises in the east, the golden wuxi falls, the grandparents and grandchildren of the Hanyuan seem to not know the passage of time, Wen Mianmian is immersed in hard practice, and the old lady gives instructions from time to time, and the ancestors and grandchildren are harmonious.

The servants of the Han Academy went from being surprised to even more surprised, you must know that the old lady's status in the Han Yuan is not as good as that of the decent mother-in-law, and now it seems that she is going to be lucky.

"Well, after a day of practice, I finally made progress."

The old lady carefully looked at the last horizontal of Wen Mianmian's writing, nodded with satisfaction, and then advised: "Whether it is practicing calligraphy and painting, you need to persevere, don't think about it overnight, you may be the first time to write for so long, don't be tired of yourself, let's stop here today." ”

Wen Mianmian rubbed her sore wrist, feeling that today's progress is really great, and what makes her even happier is that there will be no flaws in this handwriting in the future, and she can adapt to life here better.

A servant came to pass the meal, and the two found that it was going to be dark, so they ordered someone to clean up and go to the dining room.

Before the meal, Wen Mianmian bragged fiercely about the old man's handwriting, and said, "My writing is too ugly, and I decided to start learning to write with my grandfather from today." ”

A few people looked at them with smiles, "I've already started, and my grandfather said I've made a lot of progress." ”

In the afternoon, he found that the clouds above her grandfather's head had dissipated little by little, and he took the opportunity to look at the few people sitting at the dinner table, and there was no one, and he was very relieved.

Wen Mian nodded, acknowledging the fact that the old man could write well, "Since your grandfather is willing to teach you, then learn it." ”

"There's no need to go to the school for the time being, your grandfather's little things are enough to teach you."

There was joy in the old man's eyes, he now liked to be with his granddaughter, relaxed and happy.
