The general and his spoiled wife

In the current situation, Yunci thought about it and thought it was better to avoid it.

She is willing to give brother unconditional trust.

Closing up the sleeves and lifting the curtain, the night breeze is cool, Yunci holds the bamboo cup and looks at the bright moon in the sky, the moonlight is beautiful, and the stars are dotted in the vast sky, making people feel their own insignificance.

Not far away, there was a babbling sound from the cruise ship, and the play happened to be talking about someone who was mistaken at first sight for life.

Yun Ci closed her eyes and listened carefully, her smile unconsciously became more indulgent.

Jiang Huai...she likes Jiang Huai, and hopes that one day Jiang Huai will also like her.

It is not the liking for the younger sister, but the thoughtful admiration for the lover, the joy that gushes out in an instant, the throbbing heartbeat that cannot be restrained even after all the effort, and the firm persistence that wants to stay with her for the rest of my life.

She had never felt like this before, so that she panicked and retreated steadily.

With downcast eyes and a smile, she said to herself, "I really like Brother."

Thinking of my elder brother, I feel that my whole body is shrouded in bright light.Everything recovers, the grass grows and the warblers fly, spring comes, and it has an invincible and tenacious vitality.No matter how difficult the world is, you can stick to your original intention.

Drum Tower Shengge drifts in the evening wind, mixed with human fireworks, and the beauty of Dongting slowly swaying along the water.Yun Ci drank slowly and calmly, and when the tea was about to bottom out, Jiang Huai and Su Ru came out of the cabin one after the other.

Su Susu's eyes were reddish, and Yun Ci was keenly aware of the sadness and gloom surrounding her, and she sighed in her heart: the world is so big, there is no difference between fate and destination, how can there be two or three people?

Thinking this way, she looked at Jiang Huai.

Jiang Huai said: "It's getting late, A Ci and I should go back, I promise you, I will do what I say."

Su Susu didn't give up, and struggled: "Is it really not possible?"

"No." She took a deep look at Susu: "The evening is cool, remember to take care of yourself."

Susu smiled bitterly: "This is the end of the matter, why do you care about me again?"

Jiang Huai's complexion was not very good, her long eyelashes curled up in an indescribably dark way: "Aren't we friends?" Can't be lovers, can't even be friends?

"Let's go." Su Susu turned her back and stopped looking at her, "Don't forget what I told you, Ah Huai, I'm really doing it for you."

Although I don't know what kind of dumb fan the two of them are playing, but seeing Sister Su's appearance, Yun Ci can probably guess a thing or two.

Brother, I must have rejected Sister Su.

The feeling of being rejected by her sweetheart is uncomfortable even thinking about it. Before she could think about it, a clear fragrance lingered on the tip of her nose. Jiang Huai tiptoed her toes and flew straight past the Dongting with her in her arms. The wind rushed past her ears. , she thought of Sister Su's hurt but beautiful eyes.

On the boat board, until Jiang Huai's back could no longer be seen, Su Su squatted down, broke down and cried bitterly.

The sound of crying echoed in the babbling and festive bustle, satirizing the coldness, just like this world that loves prosperity and chases fame and fortune.

How much she wished that Ah Huai was a womanizer.

If so, at least he can rely on some color to stay by her side.

But Jiang Huai is not, it sounds absurd, there are so many people in the world who covet her beauty, but the one she loves is not moved.As beautiful as Dongting is, Sijinglou is as famous as the oiran.Everything she gained through hard work and exhaustion is not worth mentioning in A Huai's eyes.

After understanding her intentions, he cut through the mess quickly and refused to compromise a step.

It's really... unfeeling.

On the way back home, Jiang Huai felt a little depressed. She was originally an indifferent person. Over the years, she didn’t have many friends. She cherished the friendship with Susu very much.

But if she wanted to marry Susu against her conscience, Jiang Huai couldn't do it.Susu married her because she was planning to be a couple with her for the rest of her life, but Jiang Huai first agreed to a fake marriage, and never thought of forming a romantic relationship with Susu.

Long-term pain is worse than short-term pain. Sometimes categorical rejection is the greatest respect given to the other party.

She respected Susu and was grateful to Susu.But she shouldn't be allowed to hang herself on this tree.Jiang Huai pursed her lips slightly, looking at the moon in the sky, she was speechless for a moment.

"Brother, are you still worried about this?"

Yun Ci hooked her little finger: "If you have any troubles, you can tell me."

The moonlight was bright and clear, shining on the empty long street, and the fallen leaves were blown up by the wind, floating in the air, and suddenly brushed Jiang Huai's shoulders and flew past.

There is no curfew in Yuzhou City, and you can taste the unique roadside snacks when you come back earlier. Hearing this, Jiang Huai laughed: "Does Ah Ci understand about feelings?"

Yun Ci thought: I always know more than you.

She was embarrassed to say that elder brother was dull, and said euphemistically: "Even if you don't understand it now, you will understand it later, there will always be a day when you understand it."

Jiang Huai thought about it and felt that this made sense. If one day Ah Ci fell in love with someone, he was at a loss as to how to deal with it.With a sudden change in her mind, she nodded: "Yes, it's okay to talk to you."

Yunci listened with her ears closed.

"Aci."

Jiang Huai frowned when the words came to her mouth, she was puzzled and said: "Being heartbroken, since love can make people feel painful, why do some people give up their lives to pursue it stubbornly? Love hurts people, and I reject it time and time again. Her heart hurts, and so do I. Is there anything I can do to make her happy?"

"Love makes people suffer, but it can also give people warmth and sweetness." Yun Ci mused, "Brother, do you want to make Sister Su happy? If you change your mind, Sister Su won't be heartbroken anymore. It's just... Brother, would you like it?"

"There is no other way?"

"There is no other way."

Jiang Huai frowned and let go of Yunci's hand, holding the jade belt around her waist with one hand, and her forehead with the other: "Even if I am willing to marry Susu as my wife, I will miss her life in the end. I treat her as a confidant, and I can't move other thoughts." , and will not be tempted by other people. Perhaps, my heart was born made of wood and stone."

"That's not true." Yun Ci retorted: "Brother has a heart and a heart, but he just doesn't understand."

"Then how can I understand?"

"This..." Yun Ci opened her mouth: "I'll teach—"

Jiang Huai suddenly raised a big smile, and asked, "Why should I understand? Isn't that bad?"

Those unspoken words were stuck in her throat, seeing the determination in brother's eyes, Yun Ci knew it instantly.Brother, I really don't want to understand.The word "love" hurts others and hurts oneself, my brother has a clear mind, how could he fall into it without knowing the reason?

Yunci smiled without saying a word.

Sooner or later, brother, there will be a day when he wants to understand.

The two rushed back to the General's Mansion from Dongting overnight, and Nian'er rushed out to greet her. At first, she saw that the young lady was wearing a man's long gown, she looked slightly startled, and hurriedly lowered her head, not knowing what she was thinking.

After taking a bath, Yun Ci got up and went to the study.

Nian'er followed her, saw her smiling slightly, frowning suddenly, and asked with concern: "Didn't Miss go to the countryside with the young master today? Why do you look like you have something on your mind?"

"Is there?" Yunci held the scroll in her hand and thoughtfully said, "Nian'er, tell me, how do you make the wood bloom?"

"The wood is blooming?" Nian'er covered her mouth and smiled: "Is it the young master's wood?"

Being teased by her, Yun Ci blushed slightly: "Don't make trouble, just be serious."

"What I said is serious." It was rare for Xu to see his young lady hanging her head shyly. Nian'er became more courageous, rubbed her chin and thought, "There are many ways to make wood bloom, and you have to prescribe the right medicine!"

"Prescribe the right medicine?"

"That's right." The unprincipled little maid smiled and blinked: "Miss is so beautiful, I don't believe that if you are willing to take the initiative, the son will not be tempted. If you are dull, you have to take strong medicine!"

Yun Ci sighed and put down the book in her hand: "What if the other party doesn't want to understand love? Can I force it?"

"You can't force it, you can lure it."

"..."

"Ahem." Nian'er cleared her throat, and said in a low voice, "There is always someone who wants to take the initiative, miss, you can't get married if you are thin-skinned."

"Who is going to marry? Don't talk nonsense." Yun Ci glared at her angrily, not noticing that her neck was red.

Knowing that she is usually reserved, Nian'er said wittily: "Yes, yes, this servant has annoyed the young lady with his unrestrained speech, so I will make an apology."

Yun Ci turned from anger to joy, shook her head and put the bad idea of ​​the little maid behind her, and the turmoil in her heart calmed down for a moment.Don't rush, take your time, she repeatedly persuaded herself.

The next day, the sky was fine, and it rained suddenly outside after lunch.

The climate in Yuzhou City is humid, and the rain hits the plantains. Yunci sits on a wicker chair and reads with relish, listening to the sound of the rain.

Jiang Huai was dressed in a brocade robe, handsome and elegant, and came with a sword: "A Ci, I have something to go out, so you take a good look at the house."

"Okay, got it." Yun Ci glanced at the torrential rain, and said worriedly: "The road is slippery in the rain, bro, be careful when you go out."

"Yeah!" Jiang Huai rubbed her wrists, her eyes circled around her younger sister, and seeing that she looked good, she confidently led someone out with a few big boxes.

After a cup of tea, Yun Ci read the last page and looked up to the outside of the courtyard, guessing that brother probably went to the Spring Building to redeem Sister Su's body.

"Hey?" Nian'er suddenly said, "Miss, where did you get the cat at home? This cat is so beautiful!" Her eyes lit up, "Why don't I catch Miss?"

Yun Ci heard it interestingly: "Come on, don't drag me if you want to hug the cat."

Nian'er's right eyelid twitched lightly: "Miss! That cat ran towards the main courtyard, should we chase after it?"

"The main courtyard?" Yun Ci got up: "Go and find the cat, don't let it harm the flowers and plants in the courtyard, brother."

"Yes, Miss." Nian'er turned and left, Yun Ci worriedly followed behind her.

"Have you seen that raccoon cat?"

"See you, I'm going to the south. Miss Nian'er, that cat looks like it has an owner. Be careful when you strike."

Nian'er curled her lips and muttered, "I look so cruel."

After chasing all the way outside the study, Nian'er gasped: "Miss, why did the door open?"

Outsiders are never allowed to trespass in the forbidden area of ​​the study room. My elder brother acts cautiously. It is impossible to forget to close the door of the study room before going out.

Yun Ci's face changed slightly: "Where's that cat?"

Nian'er slapped his head: "Yes, the cat must have scratched the door open with its paw!"

Thinking of the hard-to-buy rare books in the study room, Yun Ci was dizzy, and calmly said: "You stay outside the door, if the cat dares to run around, you will catch it."

"Yes, ma'am."

Gently widening the door, Yun Ci stepped sideways into the study.

Sure enough, the white cat was sitting on the pear flower chair that my brother used to sit on, and the little thing stared at her fearlessly with his cat eyes open, like a psychic.

Without thinking too much, Yun Ci knelt down and said softly, "Cat, come here."

The white cat yawned lazily, and licked its snow-white fur. It looked like it didn't pay attention to people, and it didn't know who it followed.

Yun Ci called it patiently, but in the end she had no choice but to get up slowly, her eyes were sharp, and she said coldly: "Get down!"

"Meow!" Uncle Cat, who was calm and composed just now, was so frightened that his fur exploded. He rushed to the desk without seeing anything, and wanted to run away, but found that the door was tightly covered. Arrogantly jumped onto the bookshelf steadily.

With a chubby body and beautiful paws, Yun Ci watched it make trouble in brother's study, kicking over the teacup before jumping on the bookshelf, never seen such a vengeful cat!

She quickly rescued the ancient books on the desk when the tea was spreading, her eyes were filled with anger, she glanced at the fat cat who had done bad things, ignoring other people who lowered their heads to carefully check whether the ancient books were damaged.

Seeing this, he was dumbfounded.

It's like a hot potato, and it seems to be stained with some shady dirty thing. I want to throw it away, but finally hold it firmly in my hand.

The old book cover is clearly printed with four-character seal characters——"Happiness-seeking Treasure Book".

Listening to the name is not serious!

Yunci's fingertips trembled slightly, and her breath was unstable for a moment.My brother would rather stay up all night to see all these things?

The white cat squatted on the bookshelf tremblingly looking at her, and for a moment, saw the fierce woman raise her lips into a smile, hesitantly but curiously opened the pages of the book, and her delicate little face turned into a boiled shrimp.

"What's going on? My brother looks gentle, but I didn't expect to be so..."

Yun Ci marveled at the exquisite and smooth lines on the picture book, and moved her fingers to turn to the next page. The corners of her lips overflowed with an exclamation, and she closed the ancient book with a snap!Angrily said: "Brother, why do you even look at these!"

Men have the goodness of Long Yang, and women have the habit of grinding mirrors. I don't think my brother has such a wide range of interests?Yunci's heart was beating fast, and she gritted her teeth: You are a good gentleman, who on earth showed these things to him?hateful!

The rain continued, and Jiang Huai stepped into the Spring Building with a 72-joint oil-paper umbrella, feeling a chill down his spine, and a bad premonition, thinking that he had indeed closed the door of the study, so he relaxed.

Unexpectedly, the little girl at home is about to explode...
