General's Good Friday

The tent is still small...

Seeing the young man and the young girl sitting on the bed facing each other wiping their tears, the general said, "In your house, right now... Xiao Zhu? Xiao Zhu lives alone?"

Only then did the girl notice that there was another person following her brother, she raised her head and looked at him stupidly.

The boy realized that he seemed to have neglected the general, felt a little sorry, wiped away his tears, and nodded: "We... our previous house has been sold, and only Xiaozhu and I live here."

The general frowned in disapproval: "How can this be done?"

"Brother," Xiao Zhu suddenly and timidly pulled the boy's clothes and asked in a low voice, "He... who is he?"

The young man blushed, stared at the general, and said falteringly: "He...he is...he is..."

The general felt that this question was too embarrassing, so he simply turned around and pretended not to hear, just in time to escape the boy's eyes asking for help.

You can't do it, young man, so you can only lower your head and whisper in Xiaozhu's ear: "He...he is General Meng..."

Poor Xiaozhu has been suffering from illness for many years, and he has never heard of the name of the general. He was even more confused after hearing this: "General Meng... who is it?"

"Yes..." The young man blushed, frowned slightly, and glanced at Xiaozhu, "He is my current... master."

After hearing this, the general's heart sank and he felt a little unhappy.

What is "master"?To put it this way...so indifferent, since when did he treat the boy like a master, he was so kind to him, although...although he didn't intend to treat the boy as that...that, but he was still interacting with him on an equal footing isn't it?

In the end, did the boy still see him like this?

Thinking of this, the general's face suddenly turned dark.

The young man continued to explain to Xiaozhu: "The general's mother gave us silver taels and invited a doctor to treat your illness, so now I will be in the general's mansion...well, to serve the general, you see, this It's my monthly money for the past three months, and some snacks, it's all for you, take it away."

"Yeah." Xiao Zhu nodded obediently, and looked at his brother's tall and majestic "Master" with gratitude and awe.

She was sensible early on, and knew that her family had received favors from others, so she had to do things for others. Therefore, in order to hire a doctor to treat her illness and earn money, her brother had to serve others and work to pay off debts.

She timidly said to the general's back: "Thank you...thank you, General Meng."

The general turned his head and glanced at her, feeling very uncomfortable.

The boy looked at the general, held his sister's hand again, and asked, "Are you feeling better?"

"It's better," Xiao Zhu said with a slight smile, "The doctor will come every other day and give me a lot of medicine. I drink medicine every day, and now I can cook and eat by myself."

"Well," the boy happily pinched her skinny face, "Brother also thinks your complexion is much better."

The general stared at the girl's little slapped face that looked bloodless, and thought, can this also be called "the face is much better"?

The boy asked again: "Where are my sister and brother-in-law? They... are they okay?"

"Well," Xiaozhu nodded, "My sister comes to bring me food every day, and she always talks about you... We are all worried about you..."

The young man smiled and patted her head: "My brother is fine now, everyone in the general's mansion is very kind to my brother, you and my sister don't have to worry about me."

Xiao Zhu glanced at the general again, and finally couldn't help it. He leaned into the boy's ear and asked in a low voice, "Brother, why did General Meng come to our house? He... what is he here for?"

"Come to buy yours," the general said suddenly, staring at the girl, and said with a blank expression, "Your brother can't work, and one person is not enough to cover your medical expenses, so you have to sell yourself to our general's mansion." Come."

Seeing the serious look of the general, the boy widened his eyes.

"General...General, you..."

The boy stood up and led the general to the door.

"You... what do you mean by that?"

"What 'what do you mean'?" The general frowned, "Your sister is like this, how can you live alone? Go to the general's mansion, at least someone will take care of it, and it's close to you, don't you like it?"

"You... are you serious?" The young man's eyes were shining brightly, and he looked at the general with joy, "Really... can Xiaozhu really be allowed to live in the mansion?"

The general squinted at him, and said without thinking: "How can there be any reason for the general's wife's sister to live outside alone with illness?"

The young man blinked his eyes and blushed suddenly.

The general also suddenly realized that he had said something strange, coughed in embarrassment, and turned away.

The two of them had their own ghosts and were uncomfortable. Xiaozhu sat on the bed alone, wringing his hands uneasily, and finally got up the courage to say: "But...but I can't do the work, it's worthless..."

King Qingzhou stood at the gate of the palace, looking left and right at the accompanying Habayashi army designated by Emperor Jingming, and finally, his eyes fell on the tall young man leading the team, and he frowned.

"What's going on?" He called to stop the father-in-law who delivered the decree, "Emperor brother is also, so why can't we send someone who is more pleasing to the eye? That face looks so pervasive, it makes me feel insecure!"

The father-in-law thought to himself that this is the Habayashi Army, not your pets, so what's the use of being good-looking?But he said respectfully: "Your Majesty doesn't know something, this Master Shi is highly skilled in martial arts, and he is the most outstanding Zhonglang general in the Yulin Army. His Majesty specially called him here to protect the safety of your Majesty. "

King Qingzhou looked at the ugly man with disapproval, but happened to meet his gaze.

The man's eyes were firm, and when he looked at him, he was respectful enough, but it made him feel uncomfortable.

So, if you are ugly, you just hate it... No matter how good you are at martial arts, you hate it.

King Qingzhou thought with disgust.

The general made the decision and brought Ruan Xiaozhu back. The boy went to his elder sister's house to explain. His elder sister saw that his younger brother came back well, and he could take his younger sister to the general's mansion to recuperate. There was nothing he didn't like, and his eyes were red on the spot. began to cry.

When the boy came back from his sister's house, the general sat on the bed in the hut and had already talked to Ruan Xiaozhu for a long time, amused her a lot.

At that moment, the young man seemed to have a daring illusion, thinking that the general should be like this, that he and him are a family, and live together beautifully.

Back at the general's mansion, the general called the housekeeper, Uncle Chen, arranged a separate room for Ruan Xiaozhu, gave some instructions, and then went back to the study.Ruan Xiaozhu sat in the bright and spacious big house, watching his brother tidy up his things, he couldn't help touching here and there, restrained and joyful.

"Brother, General Meng is really a good man." She said sincerely.

"Well," the general was praised by his younger sister, Ruan Xiaobai was very happy, and the corners of his lips curled up involuntarily, "The general is a very good person."

Ruan Xiaozhu lay on the table, shaking his head, blushing: "General Meng is so tall, so handsome, and such a nice person. If only...if he was also my brother."

Ruan Xiaobai's heart moved, but his face did not show any signs of dew, and he deliberately said: "What's the matter? Envy the general, do you despise your brother?"

Ruan Xiaozhu smiled "hee hee", and said again: "No way, of course it's brother who is the best."

Ruan Xiaobai smiled slightly, sat beside her, and wiped her hands: "We are in the general's mansion, which is different from our own home. We have to live in peace, and we must be careful in what we say and do, you know?"

"En." Ruan Xiaozhu nodded seriously.

Ruan Xiaobai patted her head: "It's so good."

Ruan Xiaozhu rolled his eyes with a smile, and after a while, he said, "Brother, do I want to live here alone?"

"Yes, this is your room." Ruan Xiaobai said.

Ruan Xiaozhu pursed his lips and whispered, "But, I want to live with my brother... Where do you live, brother?"

Ruan Xiaobai blushed, and cleared his throat: "Ahem... this... didn't I tell you just now, be careful, well, this is the rule of the general's mansion, we live together, it is breaking the rules, to be driven away."

"Oh," Ruan Xiaozhu stuck out his tongue, "Then I don't want it anymore. If he is driven away, my brother will go to the alley to wash the dishes again."

"Well, you're so good." Ruan Xiaobai praised her for being sensible.

Ruan Xiaobai stayed in his sister's room until after lighting the lamps, put her to sleep, then quietly closed the door, walked through the courtyard corridor, and returned to the general's bedroom.

The general had already gone to bed at this time, and was reading some book under the lamp, when he heard the sound, he raised his eyes to look at him.

Standing on the ground, the young man looked at the general in a light-colored nightgown, lying halfway on the bed with loose hair, his heart pounding. As the two faced each other in private, he suddenly had a lot of things he wanted to say to the general.

But after hesitating for a long time, he could only blushed and whispered, "Thank you."

The general put down the book, moved his body to make room for him, and said indifferently: "It's nothing."

"Xiaozhu said, you are fine," the young man said while undressing, lowering his head, "She likes you very much."

"En." The general always felt that he hadn't finished his sentence, his face was expressionless, but he was waiting for his next words, but the boy didn't say anything, changed his nightgown, and got into the quilt inside.

General: "..."

The general felt a little upset, lay down sullenly, frowned and thought for a while, then turned his back to the boy.

The young man looked at the general's back, and sure enough he started talking again: "You... what did you say to Xiaozhu?
