The Great General and His Little Scholars

Fucheng Palace was demoted to Tanzhou at the beginning, and local officials, gentry and wealthy households who knew the inside story all avoided it.But as the new emperor came to the throne, the old ministers were re-used and valued, especially after the two imperial decrees restored the honor and status of Fucheng Palace, those who had originally avoided them began to treat them attentively.

At that time, Sima Jingxuan was just over 15 years old, and he was stepped on by various matchmakers who proposed marriage.Sima Jingxuan watched his family's glory fall and then recover, and the sadness and ups and downs in it were unforgettable.Therefore, he sneered at these provocative courtships, and didn't even bother to do it perfunctorily.

One day, the new magistrate of Tanzhou sent someone to post a post to propose marriage. Sima Jingxuan didn't want to deal with it at all, so he took Jiang Tong to the countryside to ride a horse to relax.

The two rode their horses along the river, and Jiang Tong asked puzzledly, "Don't you like the county magistrate's lady? I heard she is a beauty."

Sima Jingxuan smiled and said: "There are plenty of skinny beauties in the world, and I don't care about them."

"Then what does the beauty in my heart look like?"

"I haven't encountered it before, and I don't know." Sima Jingxuan thought: "It shouldn't be such a rigid occasion, the kind that has been deeply imprinted in my heart just at a certain moment."

Jiang Tong listened, but nodded his head and said: "Even a stranger, you only need one glance to know that he is the person you will spend your whole life with - that's how it feels."

Sima Jingxuan couldn't help laughing and said: "You are so young, you have such a comprehension. Tell me, which lady gave you the feeling of 'one thousand years at a glance'?"

Jiang Tong's face immediately turned red, and he muttered for a while, "It's not a lady from any family, it's just... an old acquaintance."

"Oh? An old acquaintance?" Sima Jingxuan wondered and thought, "You have been here since you were seven years old. If you are an old acquaintance, is it in your hometown? Hehe, I really didn't realize that when you were so young, you actually had I have found my sweetheart. Is it my childhood sweetheart? Tell me, if it is really suitable, there is a chance that my elder brother will take you back to your hometown to find her."

"He... is actually in the capital."

"The capital?!" Sima Jingxuan's eyes widened, "You have only been in the capital for less than a month, and you already..." After finishing speaking, he sighed and said, "Unfortunately, if it was the capital, you would have no chance to meet each other." . Fucheng Palace is not allowed to enter Beijing."

"But I didn't say that I'm not allowed to take the imperial examination." Jiang Tong said earnestly: "Within ten years, I must pass the imperial examination, then I can fulfill my promise and return to Beijing to see him."

Sima Jingxuan froze for a moment, then looked at Jiang Tong in disbelief: "You...the person you're talking about...couldn't be Liao Mingsi?"

Jiang Tong was poked into his heart, blushed, and nodded shyly: "That's him."

Sima Jingxuan was at a loss for words for a while, before he said, "But... Liao Mingsi is a man."

Jiang Tong raised his head, and looked straight at Sima Jingxuan with a pair of watery eyes: "Didn't brother say that the person you love is already deeply imprinted in your heart at a moment's glimpse?"

"That..." Sima Jingxuan didn't know how to answer, but when he was thinking about it, Jiang Tong asked again: "Look at those who propose marriage to elder brother, I have always wanted to ask, if I want to marry a man, do I have to do it?" Do you want a matchmaker to come and exchange Geng Tie?"

"Ah? This..." Sima Jingxuan was asked this question suddenly, he was unprepared and really didn't know how to answer.

However, Sima Jingxuan had gone through ups and downs. Although Jiang Tong's incident made him a little flustered, he calmed down after thinking about it.

"Jiang Tong, if you want to know the answer, you have to answer elder brother's question truthfully."

Jiang Tong nodded obediently, and stared at Sima Jingxuan with a pair of eyes, obviously wanting to know what to do if he wants to marry a man.

Sima Jingxuan asked: "It's no small matter at this time, can you be sure that your intention is really so, instead of treating Liao Mingsi as a brother you can rely on?"

Jiang Tong nodded, shook his head again, and said, "I didn't know at first, but the more time passed, the more I missed my brother. If you don't work hard every day, you can't read the book. When you think about it in this life, you can't read it." Together with my brother, I feel like angina."

"In the sage's books, I couldn't find the law, so I read some wild books and story books. I gradually realized that if I didn't have my brother, I would not be able to live a good life in this life." Speaking of those wild books, Jiang Tong faced A look of embarrassment and shyness appeared on his face.But Sima Jingxuan didn't pay attention at all, he just gave a thud in his heart.

Although Jiang Tong has experienced the bloody death of his mother before his eyes, he has always been protected and his mind is extremely pure.

Since he was able to be sure of his feelings and speak out truthfully, it must be true.

Sima Jingxuan couldn't help but said worriedly: "Then... what if Liao Mingsi doesn't think so? If he only regards you as his younger brother, how should you deal with yourself?"

Jiang Tong didn't seem to have thought about it that way, and was momentarily stunned when he heard Sima Jingxuan's question.After thinking for a while, I said: "So, I have to fulfill the ten-year agreement and meet my brother in person. If he wants to, I will be fine. If he doesn't..." Jiang Tong bit his lip: "I will give mine away. The affection is buried in my heart, and I will never let him know. But I will definitely stay by his side, even if I watch him spend the rest of his life, it will be good."

Sima Jingxuan sighed secretly, patted Jiang Tong distressedly and said: "I only know that you are a smart child of Bingxue, but you are so stubborn in this matter. Forget it..."

Sima Jingxuan said solemnly: "Although the nobles in this dynasty don't pay much attention to male favorites, there are very few people who can actually get married and become the main wife. But it is not completely impossible, as long as the emperor can decree to grant marriage , there is no need to worry about it.”

Jiang Tong's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said, "That's all right? If my brother and I do more things for the court and make more contributions, the emperor will agree to grant us a marriage."

"Hehe, of course the chances are higher, but there have been male concubines in both generations of the royal family, so it depends on the emperor's mood."

Jiang Tong nodded suddenly and said, "Yes, Sejong (Song Yuanxi's great-grandfather) and Gaozong (Song Yuanxi's grandfather) both had male concubines."

Sima Jingxuan looked at Jiang Tong's eyes full of hope, and comforted him, "You are so determined, you will be able to achieve what you want, don't worry."

........................

In the general's mansion, the night was quiet.Liao Mingsi leaned against the head of the bed, looking at Jiang Tong who was still asleep beside him.He was lying on his back, his eyelashes fluttered occasionally, leaving a long shadow on his eyelids.

"child……"

"Um……"

"If you come to the capital and find that I am not connected with you, what will you do?"

"Hmm..." Jiang Tong half-opened his eyes, and his eyes seemed to be looking far away: "When I was in Tanzhou, I thought about this. If my brother has no intentions, I will not disturb you."

"But when I came to the capital, I found that it was all my own delusion. After ten years of separation, once I saw it, how could I not ask, not tell, and not let you know my thoughts?"

As Jiang Tong said, he turned over and looked up at Liao Mingsi: "I can't do it, I need my brother to know my thoughts, if my brother doesn't understand my thoughts, I will stick around you every day until Until you understand."

Liao Mingsi couldn't help laughing: "If I knew you had this idea, I would hold it up and see how obsessed you are. It hurts my heart to be so well-behaved on weekdays. I really want to see you acting wild."

Jiang Tong raised his hand and pushed Liao Mingsi: "In front of you, a 'soldier', how can I act like a 'scholar'?"

A playful look flashed across Liao Mingsi's eyes, he spread his hands and said, "Come on, I'll give you a chance today, I won't do anything, you can do whatever you want."

Jiang Tong said pleasantly: "Really? You don't do anything?"

Liao Mingsi nodded, Jiang Tong immediately got up, and stretched out his hand to tickle Liao Mingsi.Although Liao Mingsi had experienced many battles and never frowned easily when he was bleeding and injured, he was a very impatient person.

Immediately, he couldn't help but struggled to laugh out loud. Seeing that he had succeeded, Jiang Tong became even more unscrupulous. He pressed his body on Liao Mingsi, and kept tickling him with both hands.

Liao Mingsi couldn't help but think about the promise that he couldn't use his hands.He had no choice but to turn his head, and suddenly kissed Jiang Tong hard on the face.

Jiang Tong was taken aback, stopped and said, "Didn't you say you can't do anything?"

"I didn't do anything, I just moved my mouth." Liao Mingsi's eyes flickered, he turned over abruptly, and pushed Jiang Tong back down, his lips were covered with Jiang Tong's mouth that was still about to defend.Jiang Tong "woo hoo" a few times to express his resistance, but in the end he couldn't resist the strength of this domineering "soldier".

The playful push and pull gradually became ambiguous, and the tender and fierce lips tore the dark night more and more hot.The howling of the north wind outside the window, mixed with the lingering restlessness in the warm tent, the longer it lasts, the more fragrant it becomes...

After a long time of restlessness, in the quiet darkness, Jiang Tong murmured: "Next time, don't use your mouth either..."

Liao Mingsi laughed softly and jokingly: "Okay, don't use any of them, just use your favorite place..."

With a "bang", the sound of being heavily beaten came out, and Liao Mingsi took a breath and said, "I said something wrong again, I only said your favorite... woo woo"

Before he could finish speaking, his mouth was gagged.After a while, Liao Mingsi said again: "I said you can't use your mouth. You only allow Jinshi to set fire, and you don't allow generals to light lamps..." Jiang Tong's laughter came softly, as if melting the winter's cold For the warmth of spring...

For some people, winter is always getting colder and colder.

In Yuhua Palace, Song Yuanhao looked coldly at Liao Mingli who was kneeling on the ground, without saying a word.Song Yuanzhen looked complicated, looked at Song Yuanhao and said, "Second brother, why did you use Mixiang in the bedroom?"

Song Yuanhao said coldly: "Because I know that a stick of Mixiang can't handle Liao Mingsi at all, so I just want to help you one more time."

After finishing speaking, he looked up at Liao Mingli and said, "You said you forgot to put the antidote under your tongue?"

Liao Mingli knew that Song Yuanhao was not as easy to deceive as Song Yuanzhen, so he bowed his head on the ground and tremblingly said: "No...no... It's just that when the elder brother rushed out of the room, the minister went to stop him, but he was knocked to the ground, and the antidote fly out..."

Song Yuanhao stared at Liao Mingli like an eagle for a while, then turned to Song Yuanzhen and said, "Don't you want to enter the general's mansion? This is the end of the matter, I'm afraid you can only marry Liao Mingli."

"What?!" Song Yuanzhen and Liao Mingli were both taken aback.
