General's humble stand-in

At the end of March, a few peach blossoms in the yard showed signs of defeat, but the apricot blossoms outside the yard were snow-white and delicate.

Tao Zhuo rested his pointed chin on the desk, and followed Xiao Bao's brush with his almond eyes, watching him write standard handwriting one after another.

Tao Zhuo sighed, the corner of the paper was slightly curled up by the airflow.

"Daddy, what's the matter with you?" Xiaobao has grown taller recently, and his personality has become more stable, not as naughty as a child should be.

"It's nothing." Tao Zhuo was depressed, "I just remembered that I taught you how to write when you first learned to write, but now you can write better than me."

"After that, I will teach my father to write."

Xiao Bao said quite seriously, Tao Zhuo smiled and flicked his forehead lightly, and had to lament how time flies.Thinking back then, Xiaobao was still a little baby who couldn't even hold a pen steadily, but now that he is five years old, Tao Zhuo is having a bit of trouble holding him.

Xiaobao, Gu Xingchen...

Tao Zhuo suddenly remembered that he hadn't even asked who gave this name, why did it sound familiar.

"Xiaobao, did your father give Gu Xingchen the name?"

Xiaobao shook his head, "It's Uncle Mo."

No wonder it sounds familiar, Mo Zizhi lives in Chenxing Pavilion, so he named Xiaobao Xingchen, Tao Zhuo was very upset.

"Don't call me Gu Xingchen from now on."

"What's that called?" Xiao Bao stopped the brush in his hand, and looked at Tao Zhuo curiously with his big eyes.

"Hmm..." Tao Zhuo was a bit overwhelmed, he was similar to Young Master Ling in terms of naming, and had no talent.

After thinking about it for a long time, Tao Zhuo tentatively asked, "Why don't you call me Tao Shu?"

"Peach cake?" Wuyou, who was studying ink at the side, widened his eyes, "Is it still a peach tree? Then it might as well be called a peach blossom."

Xiao Bao curled his lips, and muttered in a dissatisfied voice, "Daddy, it doesn't sound very good."

Tao Zhuo sat up straight helplessly and argued, "Shu, I'm talking about Shu, comfortable Shu. I want Xiaobao to live comfortably in the future, so that he can do as he pleases without so much trouble."

"Daddy, although I was not born to my father, I was also included in the genealogy at the request of my grandmother and father. I can only be named Gu."

"Oh." Tao Zhuo rested his chin on the table with some disappointment, and continued to watch Xiaobao write.

In fact, there is nothing wrong with being surnamed Gu, at least it seems that Gu Yan has no plans to have children yet.If there are really no descendants left in the future, then Xiaobao will be the only heir to the General's Mansion.

Staring at Xiaobao's writing for a while, Tao Zhuo looked up at Wuyou, "Wuyou, can you read?"

Wuyou shook her head shyly.

Seeing Wuyou, Taozhuo will inevitably think of himself.Lonely and helpless, begging and homeless, also at the age of 17, he met Gu Yan, Wuyou met himself.

"Want to learn?" Tao Zhuo asked, "If you want to learn, let Xiaobao teach you."

Worry-free shook his head, blushed and said with embarrassment, "I, I just want to follow the young master."

What a humble and small wish, Tao Zhuo smiled, and raised his hand to flick Wuyou's forehead.Wuyou didn't evade, but just lowered his head, and the shy smile deepened at the corner of his mouth.

When Gu Yan came in, she saw such a warm scene, Tao Zhuo lay on the desk and leaned forward, her back stretched straight.Because of the thin body, you can almost see the slightly raised butterfly bones, showing a beautiful and sexy arc.

The room is very quiet, only the sound of the brush falling on the paper.This kind of quiet feeling Gu Yan can often feel at Mo Zizhi's place, but it is different from Mo Zizhi's quietness, it is a little more warm and comfortable here, which makes Gu Yan feel the urge to sit around them.

"Father." It was Xiaobao who saw Gu Yan first, put the wolf hair in his hand on the inkstone, and bowed his hands.

Wuyou also hurriedly knelt down to greet Gu Yan, only Tao Zhuo was still lying there motionless, as if she had fallen asleep and didn't hear.

Under Gu Yan's signal, Xiaobao and Wuyou left the Misty Rain Building one after the other.

Gu Yan bent over to look at Xiaobao's handwriting, as if the teacher was extremely serious in trying to find out the shortcomings between the lines, and then pick out the excellence in each stroke.

"He's growing up again, this kid is smart." As he spoke, Gu Yan sat in front of the desk, took out a new piece of paper and picked up the brush on the inkstone, "Research the ink."

Taozhuo had his eyes closed, he wasn't sure if his emotions were subtly showing through his facial expressions by bypassing his eyes.At this moment, I feel sad, the kind of sadness that I want to cry but can't shed tears at all.Tao Zhuo didn't want to move, but his body seemed to be out of control and he didn't listen to the command of his brain. He straightened up and pinched the ink stick with his slender fingers.

With a slight twist of the wrist, the room is filled with the fragrance of ink.Tao Zhuo lowered his eyes, there seemed to be some damp itching in his eyes, Tao Zhuo blinked his eyes vigorously, the damp feeling disappeared, only a small drop of water condensed on the eyelashes.

Gu Yan's handwriting is vigorous and powerful, like flying dragons and phoenixes, giving people a sense of majesty.

I thought he was going to write something about Tao Zhiyaoyao, but when Gu Yan spread the written paper in front of Tao Zhuo's eyes, what was written on it was: Life and death are in harmony with each other, talk to Zicheng.Hold your hand and grow old with you.

Tao Zhuo didn't hold the ink stick firmly, and accidentally splashed two drops of ink which landed on the paper and quickly blurred.Although Gu Chan's handwriting has not been messed up, it seems that it is not so perfect after all.

"I'll write another one." Gu Yan said.

"No need." Tao Zhuo's eyes were dark, as if a little dazed, "Even if we can do it all over again, it won't be as good as it was before."

Gu Chan stared at Tao Zhuo's face, silent.

In April, Pingnan Palace hosted a banquet for the dignitaries of the court.Although Prince Pingnan has many wives and concubines, all of them are daughters.Last year, I hired a brothel girl, but I didn't want to add a boy this year.The mansion was naturally happy, and served the full moon wine in a grand manner.

Needless to say, Gu Yan and the Princess, but even Tao Zhuo and Mo Zizhi have received invitations from Pingnan Palace.

Originally thought that Tao Zhuo would not want to go, after all Tao Zhuo and the princess have always been incompatible.And that year when the county's mainstream gave birth, Prince Pingnan also beat Tao Zhuohao severely.Gu Yan helped Tao Zhuo think of excuses, but Tao Zhuo agreed to go together.

Fearing that Feng Xuancang and the others would cause trouble, Tao Zhuo stood in front of the carriage when they went out and specifically told the four of them not to follow, and only brought Wuyou who was with him.

On the carriage, Wuyou leaned on the edge of the window and looked back, then retracted his body and asked a little unconvinced, "My lord, what's the matter with that Mo Zizhi always following the general? A wife is not a wife, and a concubine is not a concubine." Yes, I'm not afraid of being laughed at."

Tao Zhuo glanced at Wuyou lazily, "Be careful, talking too much will cause trouble."

Wuyou closed his mouth in a hurry, and looked at Tao Zhuo with a bit of panic in his eyes.

Tao Zhuo guessed that Mo Zizhi's invitation should be sent by Princess Pingnan on his behalf, just to disgust himself in front of everyone.After all, he and Gu Yan got married not long ago, but Gu Yan always brought his sweetheart with him wherever he went, so people would probably make fun of him.

Arriving at Prince Pingnan's Mansion, Wuyou jumped off the carriage and raised the sedan chair curtain.As soon as Tao Zhuo leaned out, he saw Gu Yan standing beside the carriage stretching out his palm to himself.

Tao Zhuo raised a smile, helped Gu Yan out of the carriage.

Prince Pingnan, who was standing outside the mansion gate to welcome the guests, said with a smile, "His Royal Highness King Ning and the general are really affectionate. The next carriage needs to be supported. It is really more delicate than a woman."

"Brother is wrong." Princess Pingnan Yingying came over, "Our Highness Prince Ning is fiercer than women, and we are only good at throwing tables and throwing bowls."

Prince Pingnan laughed loudly, "Is it comparable to a shrew?"

The siblings humiliated Tao Zhuo in front of everyone, singing together.

Gu Yan frowned, and before she could think of an excuse to stop them, she only heard Tao Zhuo who was beside her say lightly, "It is said that those who are close to vermilion are red and those who are close to ink are black, my attitude towards things recently is indeed becoming more and more like Princess Pingnan. I always thought it was just a little bit of arrogance and domineering, but unexpectedly, I have fallen to the level of a shrew. It turns out that you nobles of the noble family can also teach shrews."

"You o" Princess Pingnan pointed at Taozhuo angrily.

Tao Zhuo interrupted what the princess wanted to say, "Princess, if you have anything to say, let's go back to the general's mansion and say it behind closed doors. Don't make such a scene in public. You don't want to lose face, and you can't bring our general's mansion with you." Lost face."

At this moment, Mo Zizhi also came over, and gently tugged on Gu Yan's sleeve.

"I'm a little uncomfortable, can we go in first?"

Gu Yan turned her head and saw that Mo Zizhi's expression was indeed not very good, so she hurriedly asked, "What's wrong? What's wrong?"

Mo Zizhi shook his head, "It's nothing serious, it's just that I caught a cold last time and couldn't recover. I always remember His Royal Highness Ning's words, and I dare not eat nourishing herbs for fear of hurting my body."

Tao Zhuo on the side squinted his eyes, looking at the weak Mo Zizhi with a half-smile.

"His Royal Highness Ning Wang." Mo Ziji also looked at Tao Zhuo, "Forgive me for talking too much, today the palace is full of distinguished guests, we still have to be cautious when we talk. You and the princess are both the wives of generals, and they are both honored and honored. If the princess loses face, then the general's mansion loses face. There will be no eggs under the nest, His Royal Highness King Ning still has to learn to work together with the general."

Before, Tao Zhuo was not sure whether Mo Zizhi would agree to join forces with Princess Pingnan, after all, he is such a noble person.Now I can see it clearly, no matter how noble a person is, he can't tolerate that jealous heart.

After all, he was well-read in poetry and books, some reasoning hurt Tao Zhuo, and made Tao Zhuo speechless.

During the banquet, Tao Zhuo seemed to be in a bad mood, drank too much wine, and soon became so drunk that he lay on the table and couldn't get up, so Gu Yan had no choice but to carry him to the guest room to rest.

When Tao Zhuo opened his eyes, it was already dark outside, and Wuyou was taking a nap beside the bed, Tao Zhuo raised his hand and poked him on the forehead, waking him up.

"My lord." Wuyou yawned, "You've woken up, don't drink like this next time."

"What time is it? The banquet is over?" Tao Zhuo asked.

"It's been a long time." Wuyou got up and poured a cup of tea for Tao Zhuo, "The general saw that you were still awake, so he agreed to stay in the palace tonight, and now he is talking with the old prince."

"Oh." Tao Zhuo rubbed his swollen and painful temples, "I heard that there are several hot springs in the Pingnan Prince's Mansion, you can go and find out. I'm tired right now, and I want to take a dip."

Tangquan is located in the backyard on the west side of the palace. There are no pavilions around it, only lush trees and some artificial hills.The water temperature is just right, and under the moonlight, you can still see a layer of misty white mist, making this place look like a fairyland.

Tao Zhuo took off his clothes, the scars on his body that were staggered by Gu Yan were still conspicuous.
