Cannon fodder daily

Chapter 28 My General Cousin 02
When I was paying my respects, I happened to meet Wen Ling who also came to pay my respects. Sitting beside Mrs. Wen, Chu Chu's eyes lit up when she saw Wen Ling coming in through the wind and snow.

The person who came in was dressed in a crane-pattern brocade robe and a black cloak. He had a handsome face, and his obsidian-like eyes were particularly sharp against his wheat-colored complexion. His hair was neatly tied into his crown. , the whole person exuded the upright and tough atmosphere of a soldier from the inside out.

Such a man with excellent mind and appearance, it is no wonder that the heroine fell in love with him from the very beginning.

"Ling'er is here, sit down quickly." Mrs. Wen beckoned Wen Ling to sit down with kind eyebrows.

The servant untied Wen Ling's cloak that was slightly stained with snow. Wen Ling sat down on the right side of Mrs. Wen. Seeing Chu Chu who was staring at her motionlessly, he was stunned for a moment, and then nodded politely to her, which was regarded as a slap in the face. call.

This cousin who didn't know where she came from was shy and timid when she saw him before, and she didn't dare to look him directly, but this time she stared at her so bluntly, which was a bit strange.

Seeing that Wen Ling noticed that she had achieved her goal, Chu Chu withdrew her eyes and smiled sweetly at Mrs. Wen, "When I saw my cousin just now, Chu Chu suddenly remembered the scene when I met my cousin for the first time three years ago."

Mrs. Wen's curiosity was aroused: "Oh? Chuchu saw your cousin three years ago?"

Chu Chu lowered her head in embarrassment, and said: "It's not counted as a meeting, but I just glanced at my cousin from a distance. It was the day when I came to Wenfu. The carriage entering the city was supported and followed by my cousin." My brother's people blocked the way, so I got out of the car curiously to watch the excitement. It was winter and the snow was flying, but my cousin was wearing armor and a red cloak. He looked very majestic and domineering. I heard about it when I was young. Cousin's prestige on the battlefield has been admired for a long time, so it is even more honorable to hear the people around him say that he is cousin. The scene of the young hero being ordered to go to war has been vividly remembered for a long time."

After listening to Mrs. Wen, she began to worry. She looked at Chu Chu with a smile, and then at her only son. The more she looked, the more satisfied she became.

However, Wen Ling was very displeased with the way her mother looked at Chu Chu as if she was looking at her daughter-in-law. At this time, Mrs. Wen said again: "Speaking of which, I also think that Chu Chu and Ling'er are a good match, how about..."

"Auntie, please don't, let's not say that my cousin and I haven't even met each other a few times, there is no emotional basis at all, and let's talk about my identity, a dodder who depends on others to live, I really have no face to mention any incompatibility. "

Wen Ling, who originally frowned more and more because of Mrs. Wen's words, felt his displeasure faded a little after hearing Chu Chu's words.

It's not because of Chu Chu's self-knowledge, but because of her words of relief. If his mother insists on making him and his cousin a pair, he can't object because of his filial piety.

Mrs. Wen sighed, patted the back of Chu Chu's hand, and said gently: "What are you talking about, who is Cuscuta, a considerate and gentle person like Chuchu is my caring little padded jacket, who dares to say that you are Cuscuta. Besides As for the question of whether they are worthy or not, as long as we are in love with each other, that's all. I think back then, your uncle and I..."

Seeing Mrs. Wen talking about the late old General Wen again, Chu Chu shook her head helplessly, but also listened carefully to what Mrs. Wen said, being a qualified listener.Wen Ling was also extremely helpless, but he couldn't interrupt the memories that Mrs. Wen had recounted countless times.

The two people who had the same thoughts even had the same helplessness in their eyes. The moment their eyes met, Wen Ling calmly wanted to move away, but saw Chu Chu's eyebrows bent and smiled gently.

Smiling like a flower, probably so.

"Wenling's favorability has increased by 5, and the current favorability is 15."

There is also a basic 10 points of favorability, which is very good.

After listening to Mrs. Wen's babbling, she sat for a while, then Chu Chu took her leave and left. Mrs. Wen asked Wen Ling to go with her, and sent her back to her residence by the way.

Walking side by side with Wen Ling to the door, Chu Chu looked at the snowflakes falling one after another outside, her eyes couldn't help becoming nostalgic and sentimental.

"Speaking of which, father and mother also left at that time. The two of them often helped the poor and did a lot of good deeds, so they must be living well in heaven now, right?"

Chu Chu raised her head, looked at Wen Ling, and asked expectantly.

Wen Ling also looked at his cousin, who was six years younger than him, with a fragile pale face longing for affirmation, which made his hard heart feel pity.

He turned his head away, nodded and responded, "Yes, your father will have a good life in heaven."

After hearing this, Chu Chu couldn't help smiling.

"Wenling's favorability has increased by 5, and the current favorability is 20."

"Let's go, I'll take you back," Wen Ling said.

Chu Chu didn't move, she said softly to Wen Ling: "I can go back by myself, my cousin has to send me back to Shuiyun Pavilion because of my aunt's entrustment, but I don't want to force my cousin to do what I don't want to do."

Wen Ling looked at the heavy snow in the sky that hadn't stopped a few days ago, and calmly said: "I don't want to, it's snowing outside, and your body is weak, so it's more appropriate for me to send you back."

The corners of Chu Chu's mouth raised in unconcealable joy, she gave a soft acknowledgment, and followed the tall man who had walked into the white sky.

Wen Ling wondered why Chuchu hadn't followed, he stopped and turned around, only to see a girl a few meters behind him stepping forward step by step, stepping on his footprints in the snow, looking clumsy and funny.

"what are you doing?"

He opened his mouth suddenly, startling Chu Chu who was concentrating on stepping on her footprints, she hurriedly put away the happy expression on her face, and replied nonchalantly: "No... nothing."

"Then still not keeping up?"

"I'm fine, cousin, you can go ahead, I will follow closely behind."

Wen Ling didn't want to force Chu Chu to go with him, so he gave up, turned around and continued walking in the direction of Shuiyun Pavilion.

Chu Chu looked at his back, smiled foolishly, and continued to follow.

Sending Chu Chu back to Shuiyun Pavilion, Wen Ling left without stopping. Chu Chu saw his figure gradually shrinking in the white snow, until he disappeared, and turned into the house when he could no longer be seen.

The moonlight next to her glanced at her young lady. She and Hua Rong had served the young lady in the Yun family, so they had always known that the young lady admired the young general of the Wen family who became famous at a young age.

The little general was already very good when I first heard about it, but now I am finally lucky enough to meet a real person. The outstanding person back then has grown into a nearly perfect god of the battlefield. I think the young lady was just a little bit of a spark, but now she is dead set. .

It's just such an unattainable character, is Miss's love a good thing or a bad thing?
Yueguang couldn't help being a little worried, she knew Miss's temperament, if the little general chose someone else in the end, she would take half of Miss's life.

The next day, Chu Chu had nothing to do and wanted to practice her painting skills. When she told Huarong Yueguang that she wanted to paint, the two of them looked at each other. Although it was strange, they still found pens and inks for Chu Chu.

Although the family background of Yun Chuchu's parents before their death was not considered extremely rich, they were still rich, so Yun Chuchu, a daughter of a thousand gold, has been trained in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting since she was a child. Only for this painting, Yun Chuchu had no talent and no interest in insisting on her to study it. After studying for a period of time without any results, she gave up and did not learn any more.

Knowing this, Chu Chu confidently painted in front of Huarong Yueguang, even though her painting was a mess, she was not afraid of the suspicion of the two of them.

But when I think back to my not-so-superb but pleasing paintings in the past, and look at the shapeless blobs of ink on the rice paper now, I still feel a sense of gap in my heart.

Seeing Chu Chu's depressed expression, Hua Rong comforted her, "Miss, it's okay, although your drawing skills are not good, your dancing skills are the best in Yuncheng."

After listening to Hua Rong's words, Chu Chu's brain suddenly flashed. Speaking of this unique skill, it seems that Wen Ling has a world-famous unique skill in the capital. It is said that although this little general Wen is a god of the battlefield who wields knives and guns, but in However, he is quite talented in painting skills. Zhuo Xiang, who was famous for his paintings, was once accepted as a disciple by the three famous figures of the Duanze Dynasty.

Those who are afraid are not people who are proficient in martial arts, nor are they talented people, but people who are proficient in martial arts and talented.

Chu Chu got up immediately, Huarong asked: "Where is Miss going?"

"It's been a while since my cousin returned to the mansion, and I haven't visited him yet." Chu Chu said, and had already walked outside the door.

Huarong and Yueguang hurriedly followed, and Yueguang didn't forget to put on the Yunyan brocade cloak, and put it on for Chu Chu, who was only wearing a sky-blue gold jacket embroidered with gold.

Feeling the warmth brought by the thick cloak, Chu Chu smiled towards the moonlight.

Moonlight was stunned for a moment, she always knew that the young lady was beautiful, like the cloud and moon in the sky that day, white and flawless, beautiful and natural, but also aloof, as if wandering outside the mortal world, but this smile, like the bright and clear sky. The moon came rushing towards her, and the light was so bright that her mind was completely shaken.

"What are you doing in a daze, still not leaving?" Chuchu smiled and reminded Yueguang who stayed where she was.

Moonlight suddenly came back to her senses, and hurriedly said: "Here we come."

One master and two servants walked towards Li Shangxuan stepping on the snow, and when they reached the door, they were stopped by two guards.

"Bold, do you know who you blocked?" Huarong shouted sharply.

One of the guards replied in a neither humble nor arrogant manner: "This is the general's residence. Even my cousin is not allowed to enter without permission. I will report to the general after my humble duty and then I will reply to my cousin."

It was the first time that Huarong, who had always been respected in Wen's residence, was stopped so mercilessly, and she was so angry that she wanted to teach the guard a lesson.

"You are not afraid of getting old..."

Chu Chu raised her hand to stop Huarong: "Shut up."

Unwillingly, Hua Rong retreated to Chu Chu's side, and Chu Chu said to the guards: "It's because I can't discipline well, please go and report to my cousin that it's Chu Chu's visit."

The guard nodded, then turned and walked into Li Shangxuan.

After a while, the guard came back and said, "Miss Biao, please come in."

The guards led Chu Chu to the door of Wenling's study in Lishangxuan, and then he left and went back to his post.

Chu Chu asked Huarong Yuexi to wait outside, then opened the door and went in.

As soon as she entered the door, she felt the warm atmosphere mixed with the fragrance of books and ink surrounding her, and her body, which was tense due to the cold, relaxed.If it weren't for the strategy mission, she wouldn't even want to go out in the cold weather.

Wen Ling, who was sitting at the table, looked at Chu Chu's pale lips, and frowned: "It's such a cold day, what are you doing here?"

Chu Chu lowered her eyes and smiled slightly: "Chu Chu doesn't feel cold." No wonder!
Wen Ling looked at the heavy snow falling outside the window, and then at Chu Chu, whose face was not ruddy, and did not believe her words, only thinking that she was trying to be brave.

"Tell me, why are you looking for me?"

Chu Chu replied: "Today I wanted to paint on a whim, but I couldn't draw it again and again. Chu Chu's painting skills are really bad. I heard that my cousin's painting skills are the best in the capital, so Chu Chu wanted to ask for advice."

"Is that why?" Wen Ling wanted to scold Chu Chu for not taking care of her body and watching Han Tian go out for a trivial matter, but thinking that she didn't have this position, she said coldly, "I will ask the painting teacher to personally guide you. You don't have to run so far to ask me for advice, go back."

After hearing this, Chu Chu lowered her head sadly, and said softly, "I just want my cousin to teach me."

Wen Ling frowned: "Why?"

Chu Chu looked at Wen Ling, her eyes were stained with a touch of sadness: "Cousin really doesn't know?"

Wen Ling said impatiently: "If you have anything to say, just make it clear, don't play tricks on me."

Chu Chu's eyes were reddened by Wen Ling's fierce attack, she stared at Wen Ling with grievance and accusation, her eyeballs were motionless.

Wen Ling felt uncomfortable when he was seen, he felt like a naughty boy bullying a girl's family, he stopped talking: "Forget it, I can teach you if you want."

Chu Chu succeeded in her goal, a sly dark light flashed from the bottom of her crystal clear eyes, and she said joyfully, "Thank you, cousin."
