General's Good Friday

That... yes, is there anything I should pay attention to..."

Mr. Baili squinted at him for a long while, then suddenly chuckled.

Xiaozhu had lunch at home, and when he heard that his brother would not come back for a while, Xiaolan was busy with housework again, so he sat on the bed and played with Baosheng.

After playing for a while, Baosheng clamored for candy. Xiaozhu found out the sugar bowl at home, and seeing that it was empty, he told Xiaolan to let Baosheng hold the sugar bowl, and he hugged Baosheng himself. door, followed by the entourage of the general's mansion to buy sugar.

"Tangtang, Tangtang..."

Baosheng just began to learn how to speak, even his parents can't bark, but he can clearly bark what he eats, and knowing that his aunt is going to take him to buy candy, he hugged the candy jar and smiled from ear to ear.

Xiaozhu's health has improved recently, and his strength has also increased. Even so, it is still a bit strenuous to hold a one-year-old child. After not walking far, he regrets taking the child out. The men who followed him hugged him, but he was still unwilling.

"You're the only one who has a lot of things to do!" Xiaozhu shook Baosheng and scolded with a smile.

"Tangtang..." Baosheng couldn't understand, but still called out complacently and affectionately.

"I'll buy it for you!" Xiao Zhu walked towards the candied fruit shop on the corner with a smile.

Entering the store, Xiaozhu waved his hand and bought a jar full of Baosheng's favorite candies.

"Look, my aunt bought it for you. Hehe, it's actually you...uh, uncle? Haha, it's all the general's money anyway, enough to feed you for half a year, right?"

Holding the heavy jar, Baosheng was very happy, and on the way back, "Tangtang" yelled even more happily.

Xiaozhu hugged Baosheng, and was about to cross the road cheerfully, when there was a sudden commotion from the other side of the road, Xiaozhu didn't think much, stood in the middle of the road and looked over, but saw that the pedestrians on the other side were all avoiding Looking too late, she cried in her heart, "It's not good, I'm afraid I'll meet a guy riding a horse in the downtown area", but because she was holding Baosheng in her hand, she couldn't walk fast, she couldn't help panicking, her hands and feet were confused, and she looked at the people on the other side of the road. The man came on horseback, if it wasn't for the quick-sighted entourage behind her, she almost didn't get out of the way.

"Tangtang! Tangtang!"

Everyone was busy evading, but Baosheng suddenly yelled loudly. Xiaozhu hurriedly saw that Baosheng's sugar jar had fallen into the middle of the road. Let the jar out of hand.

Xiaozhu's heart was in a mess, he only thought about that jar of candy costing a full two renminbi, his mind was dazed, he quickly stuffed Baosheng into the arms of the entourage behind him, and ran over to retrieve the jar.

"The second girl is in danger!"

The attendant held Baosheng steady, but when he stopped again, it was too late...

"Second girl!"

The attendant watched helplessly as Xiaozhu picked up the sugar jar and couldn't dodge, was kicked by the horse that ran in front, and fell to the other side of the road.

"Smelly girl! You don't have eyes!"

Although the young man in Chinese clothes on the horse stopped the horse dangerously, he was also taken aback. Seeing the little girl fell to the side, You Zi scolded in shock.

"Second girl!"

Seeing this, the group of people stopped one after another, and the attendants hurried forward to help Xiaozhu up.

"Second girl, are you okay?"

Xiaozhu sat up in disgrace, first looking at the broken sugar jars on the ground and the candies scattered everywhere, feeling terribly distressed, and then he felt the deep pain from his right shoulder to his arm.

"Oh!" She gritted her teeth, "I...my hand..."

The entourage immediately panicked: "What's wrong with your hand?"

Xiao Zhu's face wrinkled into a ball in bitterness: "Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo..."

The boy on the horse looked impatient: "Isn't it just kicked by the horse, what's there to shout about?"

Seeing his arrogant and domineering attitude, the attendant immediately became angry: "Is it reasonable for you to hurt people with horses in the middle of the city?"

"Oh," the young man sneered, "I have important matters to attend to, so I don't have time to argue with you!"

As soon as he heard that he called himself "the king", the followers immediately changed their expressions.

At this age in the Daqing Dynasty who called himself "the King" and was born in such a face-to-face manner, he didn't think of anyone other than Emperor Jingming's younger brother, King Youzhou who had traveled all over the world and rarely returned to Jianyang City since childhood.

"Hmph," King Youzhou snorted again when he saw that the attendant shut up, "Just know how powerful it is, and don't let it go!"

He waved his hand, and the accompanying guard immediately took out a piece of silver and threw it at Xiaozhu's feet.

"Your Highness rewarded you, here, take it to the doctor!"

Xiaozhu's face turned pale from the pain, his forehead was sweating, he barely stood up with the help of his entourage, he was so angry that he wished to kick Yinzi back.

"Who wants your stinky money..."

She was aggrieved in her heart, because the other party was the honor of the prince, she didn't dare to do anything, so she had to endure the pain and step aside, but in the end she couldn't hold her breath anymore, she still muttered something in a low voice.

"Second girl..."

It was too late to stop him in a low voice, and King Youzhou was about to drive his horse to leave. After hearing this, he frowned and turned around: "What did you say?"

Xiaozhu shrank back in fright.

"What are you making all the noise about?"

At this moment, an impatient female voice came in.

King Youzhou rolled his eyes.

The riders automatically moved out of the way, and Princess Zhaode's red-clothed white horse came out of the crowd, frowning, and said to King Youzhou, "What's the matter?"

As she spoke, she glanced casually at the dusty little girl on the ground who was being supported by her attendants. At first glance, she frowned even tighter, and blurted out: "Oh, isn't this the general's wife? Why? Are you dressed like this?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone present was shocked.

Needless to say Xiaozhu himself, he didn't want to move out the general to cause trouble for the general, but suddenly a woman who seemed to know his brother ran out.

But Youzhou King was surprised: "'Madam General'? Which General's Madam? Just her?"

He stared at this little girl who looked to be at most thirteen or fourteen years old, but he didn't see anything about her as a 'madam'.

The eldest princess looked at Xiaozhu suspiciously: "Hey... is she really a girl?"

Xiaozhu pressed his injured arm with one hand, anxious and afraid, so painful that he couldn't speak.

Seeing her pale face, the eldest princess glared at King Youzhou and said, "What did you do to her?"

"I didn't do anything to her," Youzhou King turned his eyes away, and said firmly, "She ran out by herself and was kicked by my horse, but it didn't hit anything important!"

"I'll kick you to death!" The eldest princess spat at him fiercely, "You deserve a beating for bullying the people on the street, right?"

After speaking, he got off his horse and walked towards Xiaozhu.

"Let me see, where is the injury?"

Xiao Zhu glanced at the entourage uneasily, the entourage had stayed in the general's mansion for a long time, and knew the nature of the eldest princess, so he gave the companion holding Baosheng behind him a wink to tell them not to come over.

"Shoulders...and arms..." Xiaozhu replied weakly.

The eldest princess asked suspiciously, "Is there nothing else?"

Xiaozhu shook his head slowly.

"Then how did you make it look like this?" The eldest princess frowned, very displeased.

"Princess, calm down," the entourage quickly argued upon seeing this, "I... my young lady has always been weak, and she has just recovered from a serious illness. Her body is weak, and she didn't mean to..."

The eldest princess interrupted him with a wave of her hand, and said to Xiaozhu with certainty: "What is your relationship with the general's wife?"

"He is...my brother..." Xiao Zhu felt guilty at the sight of her burning eyes, so he could only answer truthfully.

"Oh!" The eldest princess smiled, "Hehe, that's easy..."

She turned her head and waved to the maid behind her: "Take this little girl back to the palace—the third brother accidentally injured her in the busy market, we have to heal her well!"

King Youzhou frowned: "Sister..."

The attendant was also dumbfounded, and hurriedly persuaded: "Princess! This... the second girl will be taken care of by us, don't bother the princess..."

The eldest princess smiled and took Xiao Zhu, who was unable to stand still, from his hand, with a smile on her face and a fierce look in her eyes: "Let the general Hussars come by himself."

Xiaobai and Mr. Baili were talking, when they suddenly heard a commotion coming from far away in the street, they couldn't help but look out of the window.

Mr. Baili laughed and said, "Young Master Ruan stays in the General's Mansion all day long, so he probably doesn't come out very often."

Xiaobai came back and sat down, a little embarrassed: "Yes... Besides, I actually don't have anything to do when I stay in the mansion. It's only when my husband comes that I can do something."

Mr. Baili thought for a while and said: "Forgive me, as a man, Mr. Ruan's physique is a bit too thin. Since the general prefers beautiful men, he must... ahem, he will not like too thin Men."

Xiaobai couldn't help blushing: "Then...then what should I do..."

Mr. Baili covered his lips and smiled again: "Besides, if Mr. Ruan is too weak, he may be in the way in the intercourse..."

Xiaobai's face turned redder: "Ah..."

"Actually, I have been weak and sickly since I was a child," Mr. Baili said with a smile, "When I was in my teens, I slowly started to exercise when I had nothing to do, and my physical strength gradually improved—hehe, Mr. Ruan If you want to ask for advice, there are only so many you can teach me."

Xiaobai was very educated, nodded repeatedly and said: "Yes, yes, I see... Thank you sir."

"Young Master and I, why bother to thank you?" Mr. Baili smiled slightly, "Speaking of which, I'm afraid there will be more work for Mr. Ruan in the future."

Xiaobai smiled and said: "Sir, if there is anything you need my help for, just say so—although, I don't know what use I can be, haha..."

Mr. Baili drank it all in one gulp
