Rebirth of a Star General

He Yan entered the Xianchang Pavilion when she was fourteen years old, and joined the Fuyue Army when she was fifteen years old. No one knew how hurried she was when she joined the army. After returning to Beijing, he had already obtained meritorious deeds and received royal gifts, so why did he join the army, the He family did not pursue it.

Thinking about it now, if she didn't get the merits at that time, and was just an ordinary soldier who returned to the He family after a few years of wandering, it might not be the result now.

He Yan still remembers Song Taotao.

Fifteen-year-old He Yan went to school in the Xianchang Hall with the identity of He Rufei. Her aptitude is mediocre, and the girl is not as strong as the man, so she can't be compared with the teenagers in the Xianchang Pavilion. He Yuansheng gradually saw it, but he didn't blame her. He Yan also thought that he could live in such a peaceful life.

until that day.

Xianchang Hall has two days a month, students can go home. But because the rainy season came, the rain washed down the plaques at the entrance of Xianchang Pavilion. The teachers and guardians asked the students to go home one day earlier and come back three days later.

No one knew about He Yan's hurry to go back. She changed her clothes first, and then went to He Yuansheng. When she returned to He's house every month, He Yuansheng would ask him how he was doing in the Xianchang Pavilion. This kind of alienated, almost surveillance questioning does not make He Yan feel warm. Every time she talks to He Yuansheng, she is actually a little nervous.

But that day, when she went, He Yuansheng hadn't come back, not even the servant was at the door. She sat and waited in He Yuansheng's study first. There was a screen in the study. He Yan felt that since there was nothing to do, it was better to sit down and read a book in front of the small table behind the screen.

She sat for a moment when someone came in.

It was He Yuanliang's voice who spoke, and he said, How do you think about He Yan's matter?

He Yan, who was about to go out, was stunned for a while, and the movement of trying to bypass the screen immediately stopped. Instead of going out, she shrank back.

He Yuanliang and He Yuansheng have different temperaments. He Yuansheng looked gentle, but he was actually strict. Later, Mrs. He gave birth to other children and treated them very harshly. He Yuanliang, her biological father was of a completely different temperament, always smiling. Treating the later children is also spoiled, except for her.

He Yan's feelings for He Yuanliang are very complicated. If it was said that she was in awe of He Yuansheng, her adoptive father and elder uncle, she had an imperceptible dependence and expectation for He Yuanliang. She hoped that He Yuanliang would be as friendly and affectionate to her as he was to his sisters, but He Yuanliang didn't. Every time I look at her eyes, if I look at the eyes of my nephew, be polite and at least teach a few words.

In this way, the number of times of disappointment is more, and He Yan will not force it.

But today, hearing his name from his biological father, He Yan didn't even know why he was hiding here.

She is very good now. She went to school in the Xianchang Hall, and no one found her. Now she is fifteen... At least before the age of eighteen, the marriage must be settled.

He Yan, who was shrunk behind the screen, held her breath for a while.

relatives? She had never thought about this. She is now holding the identity of He Rufei, a man, how can she get married? Once the marriage is booked, what should He Rufei do? Who will do this He Rufei?

She thought of it for granted. She was a woman, so she was naturally engaged to a man. After all, she was not good at grinding mirrors. However, what He Yuanliang said next surprised her.

Brother, have you seen a suitable girl in the capital?

girl?

How can it be a girl?

He Yan raised his head, the two people outside the screen had their backs to her, and they couldn't see their expressions clearly. They only listened to the tone of voice.

Song Ci, the deputy governor of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, has two daughters. The eldest daughter is married, and the youngest daughter is eleven years old now. He Yuansheng said, I am a little young, but when He Yan is eighteen years old, he will be in his old age. After waiting for two years, we can get married.

Song Ci's daughter? He Yuanliang hesitated, Is it that little girl named Song Taotao? I remember Song Ci looking for her daughter's birthday last year, and all the merchants in Shuojing will look it up in the future.

That's right, He Yuansheng said with a smile: There is no young boy in Song Ci's mansion, only two daughters. Now that the eldest daughter is married, she spoils the young daughter especially. If you can marry the Song family, you will have the help of the Song family. Are you worried that our family is not prosperous?

He Yuanliang also slowed down when he heard the words, and only said: Brother is right, it's better for me to host a banquet in a few days and entertain Song Ci to the house, so that I can talk about the children. At least, we must first Let him know we have this idea.

The two of them talked happily, as if the marriage was just a transaction, that's all. Nowadays, in the powerful and powerful mansion, women are mostly the weights to check and balance the marriage. But it's enough to use her as a weight, how can she ignore her identity?

She is a woman! How can a woman marry a woman, and if she does marry, won't it kill the girl's life for the rest of her life?

He Yan thought so in his heart, and suddenly bumped into the screen and made a sound. He Yuansheng turned his head and shouted, Who?

Seeing that He Yan was discovered, he simply stood up and said, It's me.

He Yan? He Yuansheng breathed a sigh of relief, then frowned, and said, Why are you here? Shouldn't you be in the Xianchang Pavilion today?

The teacher asked us to leave school one day earlier, and I'm here to find my father. He Yan said here, paused, and glanced at He Yuanliang secretly. He Yuanliang showed his usual smile, and his expression did not change at all because he called He Yuansheng father.

It's just one more disappointment, why not give up. He Yan lowered his head to hide the loss in his eyes.

I have something to discuss with your second uncle now, you can come to me later. He Yuansheng said, Go and see your mother first.

He Yan didn't move.

He Yan? He Yuansheng frowned again.

I have heard what my father and second uncle just said. He Yan raised his head and said calmly, Father, I am a woman, how can I marry the second young lady of the Song family?

Unexpectedly, He Yan would actually speak like this, and the two brothers of the He family were stunned for a while.

These are not things you should manage, He Yuansheng replied after a long while, I will arrange everything for you.

I won't marry the second miss of the Song family. As a woman, it is enough to sacrifice one of me, and there is no need to implicate unrelated people. He Yan said.

She is now fifteen years old, a little taller than before, dressed as a teenager again, her eyes are clear and bright, standing here, like a poplar tree tall and straight, she looks like a stranger.

He Yuansheng said angrily: What do you mean by that? Are you resentful against us? Are you blaming us for sacrificing your right to be a woman?

He Yuanliang looked at her with a smile, He Yan, how can you talk to big brother like that? Big brother is all for your own good.

He Yan thought to himself, is this really for her? She went to school in the Xianchang Hall, and her husband taught her that the heart of compassion is the end of benevolence; the heart of shame and evil is the end of righteousness; the heart of resignation is the end of propriety; the heart of right and wrong is the end of wisdom. But what the He family wants her to do now is to make her be unkind, unrighteous, rude and unwise, how absurd?

He Yan was not afraid and answered loudly, I will never promise to marry Miss Song family! Not only that, but I will never marry any woman in my life, delaying the lives of others!

He Yuansheng and He Yuanliang were both stunned.

He Yan's temperament is known to the He family. She is gentle and easy to talk, even a little cowardly. In the He family, she can do whatever she asks, and she doesn't like to cause trouble. If it wasn't for the exchange of identities by accident, she would be like all the mediocre official ladies in Shuojing, taciturn, well-behaved, and lived a life like a puppet.

But what is she like now?

He Yan, how dare you talk to me like this? He Yuansheng was really angry. When he was angry, his facial features were very fierce, and several children in the He family's big room were very afraid of him.

He Yan looked at him, unmoved, My father sent me to study at Xianchang Hall to understand etiquette and know virtue, not to be a liar for profit.

The young man held his head high, proud, clear, and Fang Jie. It was probably the contempt in her eyes that stung He Yuansheng. He Yuansheng became angry and slapped He Yan fiercely on He Yan's face.

That was the first time He Yan was beaten by He Yuansheng.

And her biological father was watching, without saying anything, the sentence he said from beginning to end was big brother is also for your own good.

The quarrel between He Yuansheng and He Yan shocked the entire He family. And He Yuansheng, as the highest ruler of the He family, no one would doubt his decision. He Yan was locked in the ancestral hall for one day and one night, and was released the next night.

This day and night, no one came to visit her. Whether it is her adoptive parents or her biological parents. During this day and night, He Yan looked at the large and small tablets up and down the ancestral hall, thinking only of one question.

What kind of family is the He family? Does she really want to stay in the He family? If in this home, the meaning of her existence is to be a substitute, to bind interests that do not belong to them, and if there is no sincerity, there is really no place for her to linger here.

A puppet also wants to break free from the thread he is holding and dominate his life.

The next night, she returned to her house, and the room was deserted. He Yan remembered that the Fuyue Army was recruiting soldiers on the street these few days. She sat on the couch and thought, if someone came to see her tonight and asked her if she was okay, she would not leave.

But never.

There was the sound of a watch in the distance, He Yan carried the burden on his back and sneaked out the door in the dark. For so many years, since she practiced martial arts by herself, she has been like this, and she has long been familiar with it. It was precisely because the He family didn't value her that she was so relaxed even when she left.

Forget it, she thought, although she couldn't stay in the He family, in the end she saved a little girl in Shuojing. How can the He family get married when she is not here? The girl named Song Taotao, who will be married in the future, Xu Neng will stay with a young man who is in love for the rest of his life, instead of being involved in this shameful plan and becoming a sacrificed pawn.

The night was dark, and she couldn't see her head. The girl who pretended to be a teenager didn't know what to do. She looked back at the gate of He's house. The house was hidden in the night, and it was connected with the past. It kept going forward and never looked back.

The past was laid out in front of his eyes, as if blowing away the dust on it, and it gradually became clear that it happened only yesterday. Only He Yan himself knew that it was a previous life that could never be returned.

She was young and angry at that time, and was angry with the absurd decision of the two brothers He Yuansheng. She didn't think about it seriously. She is a woman. If she really married Second Miss Song, sooner or later, this secret would be exposed. What happened to the He family? Will this be allowed to happen?

Unless, they had long expected that this would never happen.

He Yan stared at the sachet hanging on the bed tent.

He Yuansheng and He Yuanliang knew early on that sooner or later, He Rufei would return. He Yan had no way of knowing He Rufei's situation, but at that time, He Yuansheng knew that He Rufei's body had gradually improved, and it was definitely not like they were dying.

It is precisely because they know that He Rufei will return sooner or later, and that He Yan and He Rufei will return to their original places sooner or later, so they talk about the engagement without any scruples. Thinking about it, they had already made up their minds. Before He Rufei got married, He Yan would take off the man's clothes and become the lady of the He family again.

At that time, He Yan didn't realize this. She thought that she would be He Rufei for a long time, and she might sacrifice her whole life because of it, but she did not expect that Xu Ye would one day be herself. But this is not a gift. After being a substitute for a person for a long time, it is inevitable that you will forget who you are.

Moreover, that day she left the He family with a burden and joined the Fuyue Army. Since then, the layout of the He family has been disrupted, and the chess game has long been out of control.

Who would have thought?

Who would have thought that she would live her whole life, die once, wake up again, go around, and meet the girl who almost betrothed to her in her previous life. The eleven-year-old girl at the time had grown into a slender lady, and the boy who left home with a burden back then had already tasted all the flavors of the world. Her fate is mysterious. Without Song Taotao back then, she would not have left home, would not have joined the army, and would not have the later General Feihong, today's He Yan.

In the darkness, He Yan smiled silently.

Fate made them meet here, perhaps just to explain one thing to her.

She did nothing wrong, she saved a girl.

...

The next morning, when He Yan woke up, Fei Nu was no longer in the room.

She thought about things late last night and slept so deeply that she didn't even know when Fei Nu left. After she woke up and went to freshen up, she went out, thinking of knocking on the door next door to see if Xiao Jue was there.

As a result, when she knocked on the door next to her, Song Taotao's head was exposed from behind the door. She said, Are you looking for Second Young Master Xiao? They are eating downstairs.

Don't call her for dinner? He Yan thought to himself, he really didn't treat her as his own. He Yan asked, Have you eaten? Let's go down to eat together.

Song Taotao nodded.

The little girl went downstairs with her, and she saw Xiao Jue and Fei Nu sitting downstairs by the window, with some side dishes randomly placed on the table. I don't know if I was shocked by Xiao Jue's identity last night. The innkeeper cooked this breakfast with extra care and delicacy. He Yan wanted to scold him for extravagance when he saw it.

Uncle, why don't you call me when you eat. He Yan muttered, It's fine if you don't call me, why don't you call me Miss Song?

I want to sleep more, it's none of the second son Xiao's business. Song Taotao said quickly, for some reason, she seemed a little afraid of Xiao Jue. But if you think about it, Xiao Jue said coldly every day, who can stand a cute little girl?

He Yan stuffed a single cage of golden custard into her mouth. The custard was fragrant and sweet. It was hot and appetizing shortly after it came out of the cage. She smiled and said, Uncle, what are we doing today?

Xiao Jue looked at her with a half-smile, What do you want to do?

I... Before He Yan finished speaking, Song Taotao spoke up.

Cheng... Young Master Cheng. She already knew that He Yan was not Cheng Lisu, but she could see that He Yan was playing Cheng Lisu, so she did not expose it, and called Cheng Lisu's name together, she said: Can you go out with me?

After saying this, the other three people on the table looked at Song Taotao.

I... I don't have any clothes anymore. I'm really not used to wearing this man's clothes. I want to go out and buy two ready-to-wear clothes to wear, but I don't really remember the way. Cheng Gongzi, can you accompany me to buy some. Something? She plucked up the courage to finish in one breath.

There are three people at this table, Fei Nu can't say a word all night, Xiao Jue is not a person who can accompany the girl to buy things. Only He Yan was kind and gentle. He Yan said, Of course! It's just... She looked at Xiao Jue, Uncle, what are we doing today?

Nothing. Xiao Jue lowered her eyes and said lightly, You go with Second Miss Song.

Thank you, Second Young Master Xiao! Song Taotao was overjoyed.

After eating, He Yan went out with Song Taotao. After the two of them left, Fei Nu said, Master, your subordinates will follow them now.

Don't get too close. Xiao Jue ordered, He also brought Song Taotao.

Fei Nu complied and was about to leave when he suddenly remembered something, hesitated for a while, but still said, Master, let's just forget about Sun Ling?

Who said it? Xiao Jue hooked her lips, Wait, now is not the time.

...

He Yan followed Song Taotao out of the inn.

As soon as he left Second Young Master Xiao, Song Taotao was obviously much more cheerful. She approached He Yan and whispered, Why are you called Uncle Xiao Er Gongzi? Why do you call yourself Cheng Lisu?

That's a long story. Young Master Cheng has something to do, so he won't come to Liangzhou for the time being, so I'm here for him. Don't tell anyone about it.

Song Taotao said: Of course I won't tell others! That waste boy, he must be unable to do it himself, so I asked you to replace it? This kind of person still wants to be my husband, why doesn't he dream!

Miss Song Er's prejudice against Cheng Lisu was really deep.

Then what's your name? Song Taotao asked.

I can't tell you now. I'll save my mouth. I'll tell you when the city's affairs are over. He Yan smiled.

Song Taotao pouted, not very happy, He Yan pointed to a clothing store, Look, there are clothes there, why don't you go in and pick them?

Only then did Song Taotao change his mind, and He Yan breathed a sigh of relief. However, it didn't take long for this breath to relax, and suddenly thought of something, and secretly said that it was bad.

When He Yan came out of Liangzhou Wei, Cheng Lisu gave her clothes and hairpin jewelry, but forgot to give her money. He Yan didn't dare to ask Xiao Jue for it, so that she only had a piece of silver that was used to fight for the flag. She has been reluctant to use it on her body, and would rather pull Cheng Lisu's clothes buttons to change tea and drink it rather than touch it. Song Taotao just came out of Wanhua Pavilion, and his body has long been swept clean. Where is there any money, I am afraid that He Yan will pay for anything bought today.

This is all her belongings now!

Fortunately, Liangzhou City is not Shuojing. There is no tailor shop that costs dozens or hundreds of silver per piece of clothing. The ready-to-wear clothes here are cheap, and He Yan can't afford it. Song Taotao picked one piece, and then picked up a pair of shoes, a hairpin, and a pair of earrings. He Yan had to pay the money, and this time, there was only copper coins.

Song Taotao picked out the clothes, and changed them inside before coming out. When he came out, the little boy who used to be pink and jade-carved, suddenly became a charming little girl. She chose a cherry red fairy dress, her long hair was tied in a flat bun, and the hair band was also cherry red. She had bright eyes and white teeth, and Shanshan was cute.

He Yan's eyes lit up. In an instant, the distressed feeling of spending money disappeared in front of the lovely little girl.

It's beautiful, she said heartily.

Song Taotao blushed, turned his head to the side, and muttered, The clothes here are too shabby, and there are no good clothes. The clothes made by the tailors of the Song Dynasty are much better than this!

He Yan thought to himself, is this still called shabby? This has already spent her savings for the past six months!

After wrapping the original clothes in a bag, Song Taotao walked out of the clothing store, Let's go shopping elsewhere.

He Yan: ...Okay.

The beauty and cuteness of a little girl also cost money, especially a little girl raised by a wealthy family. He Yan only hoped that Liangzhou would not have any more things to attract Miss Song's attention. She had no money.

God seemed to have heard her voice. Along the way, Song Taotao didn't have anything else he wanted to buy. But when I visited Liangzhou City, I was still in high spirits. He Yan has been doing her best to accompany her, and she has never been bored at all. In the end, this arrogant little girl was a little embarrassed and asked He Yan, You walked with me for so long? Would it be boring?

No. He Yan smiled and said, I just want to go shopping.

Song Taotao looked at her for a while and said, You are such a good person.

He Yan was a little surprised when she said that, the little girl had already moved on. She thought about it, shook her head and smiled.

For Song Taotao, He Yan's mood is not only caring for the little girl, but also a kind of pampering that is almost like an elder. After all, this girl almost became her fiancee. She was also the one who was willing to fulfill her life even if she ran away from home. In a way, she changed her fate. In the years after that, Song Taotao did not get involved in those inexplicable things and grew up well.

He Yan felt very fortunate, if she hadn't done that in the first place. Maybe Song Taotao wouldn't marry a woman later, but the married person would become He Rufei. Is it really a good thing to marry into the He family? This family has no warmth and only interests, and it is really not suitable for a little girl like Song Taotao.

However, He Yan looked at the little girl's back jumping in front of him, feeling helpless. When she left home, she was considered to have run away from marriage. Now Cheng Lisu is also running away from marriage. Song Taotao is still running away from marriage.

She had to have a good talk with Cheng Lisu.

...

In the Sun Mansion in Liangzhou City, the whole mansion was bleak.

Sun Ling was sent back to Sun's house last night, and Sun Xiangfu invited famous doctors to treat Sun Ling's injuries overnight. Although they are all flesh wounds, they are not light, and they have to be well cared for for a few months.

When did Young Master Sun suffer such a big loss from childhood to adulthood? Sun Xiangfu was also in a bad mood. Early this morning, he punished several servants following the wrong move.

The servants did not dare to take a wrong step, and the house was quiet. Sun Ling was lying on the bed, and Mrs. Sun sat on the bed and wiped away her tears, while scolding bitterly: Your father is too much, he is just a military general, how did he beat you like this? My son suffers, does this hurt? know when to keep...

Sun Xiangfu heard this as soon as he came in, and said angrily: The woman's opinion! What is 'just a military general', you know that he even dared to kill the eldest son of the Minister of the Household, and the Minister of the Household stabbed it. The emperor went over, what happened in the end? In the end, I had to admit that I was unlucky! If he killed this unfilial son last night, what do you think you can do? You can't do anything!

Mrs. Sun was stunned by the scolding, and then said in a panic after a long while: He, he is really so powerful? What should we do now? Are we apologizing to him?

Go out. Sun Xiangfu was upset and waved his hand, I will arrange these things myself. I came here to ask Linger a few things.

Mrs. Sun walked away with tears in her eyes, and Sun Xiangfu walked to Sun Ling's side, looking at Sun Ling's pale face, feeling distressed and angry, and said, You said it's not good for you to provoke someone, but you provoke that King of Hell.

I... I didn't provoke him, it was his nephew who bullied people too much. Sun Ling mentioned this, he was not angry, he told what happened last night as it was, and finally replied: Why am I? Do you know that Cheng Lisu will suddenly take action?

That book boy, is that the woman you fancy? Sun Xiangfu asked.

Sun Ling shook his head: I don't know, I haven't seen his face, and the surnamed Xiao is here.

It's fine if it's just a misunderstanding. If it's really this woman, since Cheng Lisu protects him, he will inevitably have a prejudice against you. Sun Xiangfu sighed, It's my fault that I didn't bring Xiao Jue and the others to the city. I'll let you know in advance, otherwise it won't be like this.

Sun Ling never cared about political affairs, he only knew how to eat, drink, prostitute and gamble, so he didn't know about Sun Xiangfu's post to Xiao Jue.

Father, we have offended them, they won't make trouble for us later. Sun Ling was a little apprehensive.

He was used to being lawless in Liangzhou City, but he relied on having a county magistrate Lao Tzu. But last night Sun Xiangfu's tears in front of Xiao Jue made Sun Ling understand that Xiao Jue was not someone the Sun family could afford.

Don't be afraid, said Sun Xiangfu, in a few days, the supervisory censor, Sir Yuan, will arrive. Sir Yuan is from Xu Xiang, and Xu Xiang and Xiao Jue have never been on good terms. Perhaps, we can do something here. .

So the question is, did Yan Yan give Koi a green hat, or Koi gave Yan Yan a green hat?
