General's Good Friday

Now, you eat the general's and use the general's, and you still get monthly money, and you are sick and take medicine every day, and you can't do anything. Isn't it a drag? "

Xiaozhu was made bitter by what she said, and when he thought about it carefully, he was just a waste of food and drink for nothing!

Her eyes turned red, and she felt very uncomfortable.

Seeing this, the eldest princess smiled contentedly: "So, why don't you just stay with me and be a maid, so that your brother can be less burdened, isn't it good?"

Xiao Zhu looked at her with red eyes.

The eldest princess said again: "And when you recover, you can go riding a horse."

Xiaozhu blinked: "Really?"

"Of course it is true," the eldest princess took a sip of tea, glanced at her, thought of something, and asked again, "Are you literate?"

Xiaozhu was stunned: "I... I haven't read a book..."

The eldest princess showed a disgusted expression: "How can you be illiterate? No, no! When you recover from your injury, follow the female officials to learn to read, at least you must be able to read books!"

"Oh," Xiao Zhu hurriedly nodded as if facing a big enemy, "I will study hard!"

The eldest princess nodded, then lowered her head to drink tea.

I thought, it doesn't matter if my princess is illiterate, but the people around me can't, otherwise it would be embarrassing to say it!

The general waited in the cold wind for almost an hour before he saw the eldest princess's personal maid approaching with a small tray.

"Your Highness heard that the general is coming, so very happy." The maid saluted the general and said with a slight smile.

What a joy!

The general thought unhappily, but he could only smile along with him: "This... I don't know Xiaozhu..."

The palace maid smiled and said, "Miss Xiaozhu is fine! Your Highness said, don't worry Madam, it's just a minor injury, it's not a big deal."

She said with a smile on her face, stretched out a white hand, lifted the red cloth on the tray, revealed two ingots of gold inside, and handed it to the general.

"Your Highness said, of the 20 taels of gold, ten taels is the value agreed on that day, and the other ten taels will be given to the general's wife to calm her down. Miss Xiaozhu will go back to visit her more often when she is free in the future."

General: "...Huh?"

The palace lady handed the gold to the general, and said with a smile: "General, hurry up and take it! The servant has to go back to report! Otherwise... His Highness blames it, the servant can't bear it—what do you think?"

"..."

The general shuddered behind his back.

……

Because of his own incompetence, Xiaozhu was bought and sold by force, which seriously hurt the general's self-esteem.

He returned to the General's Mansion in a daze, and saw Xiaobai's eyes, which had become full of joy and hope the moment he saw him, became dim and lost after realizing that there was no Xiaozhu behind him. It was even more uncomfortable, if he hadn't been an imposing seven-foot man, he might have covered his face and left on the spot.

Although Xiaobai was anxious, seeing the general's complexion was not good, he hurried over and didn't mention bringing back Xiaozhu, he just asked hesitantly: "Xiaozhu... is she okay?"

The general was full of guilt: "Well... It is said that there is nothing wrong with it, just a small injury."

"Oh...oh." Xiaobai nodded, the general didn't bring anyone back, it seems that the eldest princess refused to let him go.

The general was afraid of the eldest princess, Xiaobai knew it in his heart, he carefully checked the general's face, saw that he was in a low mood, and comforted him softly: "Then...it's okay for Xiaozhu to recuperate in the palace, there is an imperial doctor in the palace , it should be better than the mansion, it doesn't matter."

The general glanced at him, then reached out and took out the two ingots of gold from his pocket: "Here."

Xiao Bai was taken aback: "What is this?"

The general made a long face: "20 taels of gold."

Xiaobai: "Huh?"

The general gave up on himself: "I sold Xiaozhu to the eldest princess."

Xiaobai thought he had heard wrong.

"You... what did you say?"

Seeing his unbelievable expression, the general became more and more depressed, and said loudly: "I said, I sold Xiaozhu to the eldest princess! 20 taels of gold!"

Xiaobai opened his mouth: "...Huh?"

The general couldn't bear to see his stunned expression, and he didn't want to admit that he didn't even see the eldest princess, and sold him without even saying a word of protest. He simply turned his head away and made a gesture. Come in the look of "I love you so much".

Xiaobai frowned, looked at the gleaming gold ingot in the general's hand, then looked at the general's twitching face, hesitated for a moment, and asked in a low voice: "Is...was Xiaozhu willing?"

The general said awkwardly: "Yes...isn't it..."

He never saw Xiao Zhu at all!

"Then..." Xiaobai looked left and right, "Where's the contract of sale?"

General: "What?"

"The deed of sale," Xiaobai said, "Xiaozhu is only 14 years old. According to the laws of Daqing, if a child under the age of 15 sells himself, his parents or siblings must sign the deed of sale instead."

General: "...huh?"

Xiaobai looked at him strangely: "Although Xiaozhu is my younger sister, it is useless for you to sign instead..."

"I……"

The corner of the general's mouth twitched—what else is going on?No, the Eldest Princess didn't mention anything like the contract of sale. He himself is a blind man who doesn't understand anything, but how could someone like the Eldest Princess not know?

Thinking of this, the general felt a little suspicious in his heart, looked at Xiaobai and said, "Are you sure?"

It's not that he looks down on people, it's just that Xiaobai, a little rabbit who has only studied for a few years, knows more than the eldest princess?

Xiaobai squinted at him, feeling a little displeased: "Hmph... I sold it myself, so why don't you know..."

"Uh……"

Seeing him roll his eyes and turn his face away, the general was speechless for a while.

At the dinner table, the general looked at Xiaobai who ignored him for a long time and only cared about eating big mouthfuls, and finally couldn't help but tentatively opened his mouth.

"Then...according to this, Xiaozhu has not been sold to the eldest princess? Can't count?"

Xiaobai was chewing something, glanced at him, his throat moved, he swallowed the food, and then said: "Of course, you should give the gold back to the eldest princess."

"This..." The general was in a bit of a dilemma. Although legally speaking, this transaction is not counted, but if he used this as an excuse to go to the eldest princess to refund the money, it is hard to say whether he would be forced to give the deed of sale to the princess. signed...

He had no choice but to express his worries: "The eldest princess wants to keep Xiaozhu, I'm afraid... I'm afraid it's not just because we say we don't want to..."

Xiaobai paused, Fang lowered his gaze, and nodded: "I know... If Xiaozhu is willing, there is nothing wrong with staying with the eldest princess, but..."

He didn't continue, just glanced at the general, then pursed his lips and continued to eat.

The general was aroused curiosity: "Just what?"

Xiaobai lowered his head: "Nothing."

The general didn't believe it: "Obviously there is something, why don't you talk? Say it!"

Xiaobai looked at him, poking the chopsticks in the rice bowl back and forth.

"It's just..." As he spoke, he secretly glanced at the general, then lowered his head, "It's just that it can't be sold."

The general's brain has always been difficult, but at this moment, he suddenly opened his eyes and stared: "Why? This general treats you badly?"

Xiaobai quickly lowered his head and denied: "No."

"No?" The general showed suspicious eyes, "Your tone is clearly saying that you regret selling it to me!"

Xiaobai said stiffly: "I haven't."

Thinking that Xiaobai is docile and obedient on the surface, but in fact he may have a grudge against the relationship between the two, for some reason, the general feels a little unhappy.

If I had to make an analogy, it would be like being brothers and sisters all the time. Suddenly, one day, the elder brother who cared and cared for his younger brother discovered that the well-behaved and considerate younger brother had always been dissatisfied with him. That's all.

This kind of deception of sibling affection is really too hurtful!

The general was severely hurt by his brain, and the eyes he looked at Xiaobai were a little more accusatory.

"Could it be that this general has treated you badly?" He said angrily, "Although you were bought by my mother, why have I ever treated you as...as a bought person? What are you upset about? "

Xiaobai raised his eyes and looked at him: "I didn't say that you treated me badly...you treat me well, I know very well, I...I'm not such a person who doesn't know what to do!"

"Then what are you dissatisfied with?" The general was even more puzzled.

Isn't this ruthless and unreasonable trouble!

"I..." Xiao Bai spoke, but felt that it was really hard to speak, looked at the general, his lips moved, hesitant to speak but couldn't speak.

It's coming again... The general raised his forehead, thinking about the past, and seeing his troubled expression, his heart tightened suddenly - my God, please don't cry again!

Xiaobai suddenly put down his chopsticks and looked at the general.

"I... I'm full!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he quickly stood up and ran away without looking back.

The general stared at a pair of leopard eyes, looked at the half of the dishes on the dining table that Xiaobai unknowingly swept away, and looked at the maids who were quietly peeping at his face, and couldn't help but lower his face: "What are you looking at!"

The maids hurriedly lowered their heads obediently, lest they offend him.

Only Little Cherry was more courageous, and said with a smile: "Madam has a good appetite today, hahaha..."

The general glared at her, picked up his chopsticks and continued eating angrily.

After dinner, the general could not bear to look for Xiaobai, and asked the maid to go to the room to get a change of clothes, and went to the bathroom to take a shower on his own.

Soaked in the hot water, the general was still resentful, he just felt that the little rabbit was spoiled by himself!

Thinking back to when he first came here, it was called a low eyebrow
