Rebirth of a Star General - Chapter 231

Chapter 231

When He Yan returned to the house, the night was already very deep.

He Yunsheng told her about Bai Rongwei’s visit to the mansion. When He Yan heard that they had even counted the auspicious days, he couldn’t help being stunned: “In the next year?”

“Yes,” He Yunsheng looked at her expression, “Are you feeling too rushed?”

“Not really,” He Yan replied, “It’s just that there has been a lot of affairs between North Korea and China recently, and the Uto envoy has just arrived in the capital today. The next two months are very busy. Where can Xiao Jue and I have time to prepare for marriage?”

He Yunsheng frowned: “Don’t you think it’s too fast?”

“It’s okay.” He Yan said: “Your Majesty gives you a marriage, and you have to get married sooner or later. What does it matter?”

“That’s your relationship anyway,” He Yunsheng had a headache: “Will you have some snacks?”

He Yan felt that there was no need to do this again.

When she got married in the previous life, she also returned to the capital, and soon after swapping identities with He Rufei, she married. Time is tight, but everything in the He family has already been arranged. From the dowry to the wedding gown, she hasn’t fucked much. I don’t know if other women get married in the same way, but in my memory, marrying is just changing from one home to another.

He Sui scolded He Yunsheng and said: “Your sister knows what you are doing!” He looked at He Yan and asked, “Yan Yan, when Grandma Xiao came over today, she said that the betrothal gift was ready. You have an official position again. After marrying the He family, you don’t have to settle in the morning and evening. It’s still the same as before. As for your dowry, Dad also saved you a little early. Of course, our family is not as good as the Xiao family, but , You don’t have to be ashamed or upset about this. Our daughter married and brought her own salary, monthly. Isn’t it better than a dowry?”

“However, there is one last thing,” He Sui scratched his head, “You have been to Liangzhou for so long, but the wedding dress has not been embroidered. Right now, it is too late to embroider by hand… There are several outstanding embroiderers, whoever you like, dad ask her to sew your wedding dress, and she should be able to make it in time.”

“It shouldn’t be cheap, right?” He Yan asked.

“My daughter gets married, of course the best.” He Sui said nonchalantly: “Daddy is too much money.”

“I’m not short of silver.” He Yan said, “I have my own opinion about the wedding dress, so don’t worry about it, Dad.”

“But……”

“My own marriage, of course I am in charge.” He Yan stood up, “Does Dad even have to choose the wedding dress for his daughter?”

“I didn’t mean that.” He Sui hurriedly said, and when he saw He Yan’s gaze, he was defeated again, “It’s fine, you think it’s good, but after you choose the embroiderer, you must tell your father. Dad will invite it for you.”

“I know.” He Yan looked outside: “It’s not early, Dad, you and Yun Sheng should also rest earlier.”

After freshening up, Qingmei came into the house to take the hot water basin, and said: “If the auspicious day is set, the girl will be married once the new year is over. How can you look at the girl as if you are not nervous?”

“Getting married is not going to the battlefield,” He Yan laughed, “What’s the point of nervousness.”

“The girl’s heart is too big,” Qingmei muttered, “What about the wedding gown? The girl never thought about what she looked like when she wore the wedding gown and married Governor Xiao?”

He Yan was startled slightly.

When she married Xu Zhiheng in her previous life, the wedding gown prepared by the He family was actually gorgeous and exquisite. It’s just that He Yan looked at Feng Guanxia herself in the mirror, always feeling a little uncomfortable. The scars under the delicate dress will always fall into the eyes of others, and what she wants to accept is the unknown future of living as a woman in a strange mansion.

Even though it was anticipation, deep down in my heart at that time, it was actually with fear.

now……

She is not afraid of marrying. Perhaps it was because Xiao Jue had promised her that even after she married to Xiao’s family, she would not have to sacrifice anything to be her true self.

Seeing that He Yan didn’t speak, Qingmei thought that He Yan was finally shy, smiled comfortedly, and went out with the hot water basin. The sound of closing the door shocked He Yan. She recovered and lay down on the collapsed collapse. Suddenly remembering something, she took out the snake-print black jade from her underwear.

Under the lights of the night, the black jade exudes a cold and warm warmth. After giving this Yu Xiaojue to her, He Yan tied it around his waist and was afraid of falling off.

A good-looking wedding gown will inevitably cost a lot of money. He Sui and He Yunsheng are already struggling for her relationship. I don’t know if people take this piece of jade to the embroidery workshop. Can others see Xiao Jue’s face and ask her to pay for it?

But…for the wedding dress on credit, if this matter spreads out, her own face will be fine, and Xiao Jue’s face will also be smeared.

Or not.

He Yan reinserted the jade pendant and turned over.

Throughout the ages, getting married has really been a flowery matter.

…

On the mountain at night, in the empty long hall, two giant wooden tigers lay in front of the hall, quietly seeming to be asleep.

A gray-feathered pigeon fluttered its wings and landed in front of Xiaoji, blinking black bean-like eyes, and pecking at the red wild fruit on the porcelain plate on the table. A slender hand stretched over and took off the copper tube that tied the pigeon to the leg.

After a while, with a “pop”, the copper pipe fell on the ground with a crisp sound. Someone yawned and said in a daze: “What’s the matter?”

The speaker has a white and round face, his eyes are squeezed by flesh, but it is not greasy and offensive, but it looks a little funny and amiable. If He Yan were here, he would recognize him. This person was the same person she had met last time, Lu Daichuan, Xiao Jue’s master who is good at making swords.

“Huh,” Lu Daichuan glanced at the gray pigeon that was stealing food. He was taken aback, “I believe it, who’s it?”

“Who else, your precious apprentice.” The woman holding the letter turned around, revealing a charming face.

This woman is about thirty or forty years old. She is not beautiful in appearance. The beauty is the amorous feeling between her eyebrows, her eyes are very charming, but her lips are thin, making her look restrained and deserted. This contradiction was mixed together very well by her, and in the end, only the unexplainable fairy spirit was left. With such a face, but he is wearing coarse linen clothes, and his hair is loosely tied with a branch that was folded, he looks like a legendary mountain ghost hidden in the mountain.

“Huaijin delivered the letter?” Lu Daichuan asked unexpectedly: “Why would he suddenly come to deliver the letter?”

The beautiful woman sneered, “Of course it was a messenger, do you think he came to say hello thoughtfully and honor us?”

“Of course I know that he sent someone to do something.” Lu Daichuan smiled and said, “What’s the matter this time?”

“This guy will get married as soon as the new year is over. His noble wife still lacks a wedding gown. Please ask me to embroider one for him.” The beautiful woman said, angry, “What kind of embroidery is here? Fang? He doesn’t give me any hesitation in supporting me!”

“Oh, don’t be angry.” Lu Daichuan poured her a cup of tea, “After all, we are like a star girl, and we were also the first embroidered girl who was famous all over the world.”

Ruxing was not moved by his flattery, “It’s all this age, what girl is it called! What’s more, embroidered women are all things that happened so many years ago, it’s hard for you to remember.”

Lu Daichuan blinked his eyes, “Of course I remember, after you went up the mountain, how many people searched for your whereabouts, and the legend of you still remains in Shuojing.” I couldn’t find a better one when I entered the ground, and Huai Jin did exactly that, so I came to you for help.”

“I haven’t seen any apprentice so handy to awaken the master’s order.” Ruxing glared at him, “At the beginning, you doted on him the most among the few of us. Now this stinking virtuous boy, you are pampered. from!”

Lu Daichuan is very innocent. “The five of us are his masters together. Why should I say that it was caused by me. Besides, Ruxing, do you really think that I was spoiled by him back then?”

Ruxingheng glanced at him and stopped talking.

Of course not. When Xiao Jue went up the mountain, he was very young, and when he went down the mountain at the age of fourteen, he was just a teenager. But in the ten-odd years of time, I am afraid that no day will be easy. Xiao Zhongwu knew well that he would take on the future of the Xiao family in the future and embark on a lonely and difficult road, requiring the five of them to teach and train Xiao Jue in the most rigorous way.

Only by tolerating the unbearable of ordinary people can you gain the unattainable of ordinary people. Everyone in the world says that Xiao Zhongwu is so blessed that the young master has been born so outstanding, and the second young master is even better. If it weren’t for a harder temperament, he would almost compare all the men in Dawei. However, no one knows what kind of life Xiao Jue lived during those years on the mountain.

That is by no means a pleasure.

The masters are all human beings, and they are not true gods. They all have seven emotions and six desires. Sometimes seeing a little child is really pitiful, and it is inevitable to move compassion, but they can’t express it. In the long run, Xiao Jue’s attachment to his masters is not too deep.

Lu Daichuan understood very well, who could have a good face for someone who has thrown himself in the formation and confinement since he was tortured and cursed at a young age?

Xiao Jue didn’t come back to retaliate, and he was already very well-trained.

“It’s okay,” Lu Daichuan put his hands together, “I was worried that he would stay on the mountain for a long time, and his temperament would be solitary and hard, and I could not be a bachelor for a lifetime. Now I finally feel relieved. If this kid doesn’t marry a wife because of our relationship, then the sin will be serious. Fortunately, Amitabha Buddha.”

Ru Xingbai glanced at him: “How about that girl?”

Lu Daichuan: “How about what?”

“Didn’t you see that girl,” Ruxing asked impatiently. “That girl in the Shen family has chased the dead boy for so many years, but he hasn’t seen the dead boy tempted. But he took care of this girl and asked me to embroider her. Wedding dress. I want to know what is so special about this girl.” She stroked her temples, “Is there any beauty?”

Lu Daichuan chuckled twice, “I am only seventeen or eighteen years old, and you are very young and prosperous. You have stepped into the soil with half of your foot. How can you compare.”

“Have you not tasted the taste of being beaten for a long time?” Ruxing smiled.

“I was joking,” Lu Daichuan coughed lightly. “That girl looks good to me. You should trust Huai Jin’s eyes.”

“Men’s vision has never been true.” Ruxing dismissed it.

“You have to believe in the eyes of the sword.” Lu Daichuan smiled slightly, “Huaijin’s Qiujian drink, I like her very much.”

“what?”

“That day she came to help Huai Jin get the supplemented Yin Qiu Sword. When the sword came to her, I could feel that Yin Qiu Sword liked her. I have been on the mountain for many years, and the sword I have seen is better than I have seen before. There are so many people. Drinking autumn follows the master, and if Yinqiu likes Miss Xiaohe, she must be good.”

After a long silence, Ru Xingcai said, “Maybe that sword has stayed on the battlefield for a long time, and I don’t know it clearly.”

“It’s boring for you to say that.” Lu Daichuan said: “Do you know what you look like now? Like a bitter and mean mother-in-law who is dissatisfied with the bride entering the door.”

“Which wicked mother-in-law do you mean?” Ru Xing looked at him suddenly and murderously.

“I said, you should take it easy.” Lu Daichuan said: “Huaijin, this child has a better vision of people than you and me. Since he likes Miss Xiaohe, we should be the elders, so we should support it. As for Huaijin, Although we are a little colder on weekdays, in fact, you also know that we have been on the mountain for so many years without any trouble. What is the reason?”

Ruoxing does not speak.

“Now that he can marry a wife and set up a family, it is not in vain that General Xiao entrusted him to us.” Lu Daichuan exclaimed.

The wind in the hall is cool, reminiscent of the night on the mountain. The young boy practiced his sword with a cold face, and he grew up in a blink of an eye.

Ruxing was silent for a moment, got up and walked out, Lu Daichuan stopped her: “Hey, where are you going?”

“Of course I went back!” Ru Xing gritted his teeth: “Help your damn apprentice embroider the wedding dress. The old lady really taught a debt collector, and she managed to get out of her head and send people down the mountain. Now she comes back to marry a wife. Trouble me!”

“The first embroiderer of the Wei Dynasty,” Lu Daichuan said with a smile behind him: “The embroidered wedding dress is of course the best in the world.”

“That’s natural,” Ruxing said with a smile, “I hope that girl is worthy of my craft.”

…

Xiao Jue invited his master to embroider the wedding dress for He Yan, but He Yan didn’t know about it. Bai Rongwei asked someone to come over and said that Xiao Jue was already preparing to get married. He Sui and He Yunsheng were still a little uncomfortable. How could a woman’s wedding dress and husband’s family prepare it, but He Yan felt that Xiao Jue was very caring. Knowing that she was not good at doing this kind of thing, she took care of it and made her happy. easy.

The wedding date was finally set on the tenth day of the Lunar New Year.

The Xiao family’s wedding invitation has been posted, and everyone in Shuojing knows it. The He family didn’t have that many friends and relatives, at most they were just a few of the friends He Sui had made on the school lieutenant field when He Sui was still a school lieutenant. He Sui felt that there were not many people coming to observe the ceremony at her natal family. He had been worried these days, but He Yan didn’t think this was a major event. Marriage is not to fight, where there are more people, the better.

Besides, she didn’t want to be watched by people like monkeys.

The matter of getting married is temporarily put aside by her, because there are more important things right now.

The Uto envoy finally entered Beijing this winter.

On the first day of entering Beijing, Emperor Wen Xuan accepted their apologetics and the wish of peace brought by the Uto envoy.

When He Yan heard the news, although he wasn’t surprised, he didn’t expect it to be so fast. Emperor Wen Xuan’s heart is biased towards the Lord, which is not a good thing for her and Xiao Jue.

He Yunsheng sat in front of He Yan and asked her: “In three days, Your Majesty will have a banquet at the Star Terrace. Those Utopians will definitely seize this opportunity to be disgusting. Can you bear it?”

“If you can’t bear it, you have to suffer,” He Yan smiled bitterly, “Your sister, my official position is not so big that even your majesty’s will can be ignored.”

The banquet on the Tianxing Terrace was also to promote Wei Guowei and let those Utuo people see the richness and power of Wei. However, He Yan is a military commander, and it is really unacceptable to stand with the enemy army who slaughtered the people of Wei. I don’t even want to see those despicable Utuo flaunting their might in Dawei’s territory.

“You said,” He Yunsheng groaned, “will the emperor agree to them opening a bargaining market in Dawei?”

Now that Manshuo Kyoto has spread, He Yunsheng knows that it is not a secret. He Yan will occasionally talk to He Yunsheng about the current situation in the court. In her opinion, He Yunsheng will mostly enter official positions no matter whether he is from literary or martial arts in the future. Let him understand these things early, beneficial and harmless.

He Yan shook his head: “I don’t know.”

She also asked Xiao Jue about this sentence. Xiao Jue only said that Emperor Wen Xuan did not agree to it for the time being, but what will happen in the future is not yet known.

“Hey,” He Yunsheng sighed solemnly, “Those Utuo killed so many people of Dawei, if they were to be welcomed in to do business, what do those people who died think, died in the hands of Utuo? What does the soldier think? Really…” He wanted to say a few words, but that man is the emperor after all. How could he be allowed to come and put his beak, so he could only swallow what he said, but in his eyes, he was a little disappointed.

He Yunsheng was not alone in disappointment.

He Yan knew very well in his heart that Emperor Wen Xuan agreed to the Utuo’s request for peace at this juncture, and also slapped Xiao Jue in the face from another aspect. What about General Feng Yun? No matter how brave and invincible, they won the battle in Jiyang, but as long as they win the favor of the emperor, they can still walk into the land of Dawei in a big way, and even enjoy the convenience and benefits that the merchants of Dawei cannot enjoy. .

How ironic.

but……

Sometimes, being smart will only shoot yourself in the foot. If all goes well, Utuo State and Dawei will “turn confederacy into jade silk”, which is good for He Rufei, Xu Jingfu, Xu Zhiheng, and even good for the Utuo country lord who is thousands of miles away… alone. Da Wei Zimin, to Xiao Jue, to He Yan himself, there is no benefit at all.

Therefore, the blood of the soldiers who died before cannot be allowed to flow in vain.

Let Wenxuan emperor beware of these cunning Utuo and see their true colors.

He Yan looked down at the Tianxing Station three days later, and when that time came, there was a real excitement.
