General's humble stand-in

The sun is setting and the twilight is getting dark.

The crimson palace wall seems to be endless at a glance, and the glazed blue tiles emit a lonely twilight under the refraction of the setting sun.There are eunuchs who are constantly cleaning the road paved with white jade, so clean that there is not a speck of dust.

The guards on both sides held the hilts of their waists with one hand, guarding the safety of the royal family with expressionless faces like a stone statue.

Looking over the palace wall, Tao Zhuo looked at the magnificent palaces with envy and awe, wondering whether the people inside were just like the ones sung in the opera, traveling around the mountains and rivers all day long.

The tinkling horse bells were sweet, and Tao Zhuo turned his head when he heard the hooves of the horses, and saw two black horses galloping towards him, pulling a gorgeous sedan.

The coachman whipped his whip loudly, and the entourage in blue cloth shouted at Tao Zhuo, who was in a daze in front, "Go away, who's young man is so ignorant, can't you see that this is the carriage and horse of the general's mansion?"

Tao Zhuo hurriedly stepped back to avoid it, but his eyes never moved away from the car.Are the chariots and horses of the general's mansion here to pick up the general?

The carriage stopped firmly at Chengde Gate, and the attendant jumped out of the carriage and shook out a bag of money from his sleeve and secretly handed it to the guard guarding the gate.

"Brother guard, how long has my general been in?"

"It's been almost an hour, and it should come out soon."

"Thank you." The entourage cupped his hands in thanks, then walked quickly to the side of the carriage, and said submissively with lowered eyebrows, "Princess, the general has been in the palace for almost an hour."

A tactful and sweet voice came out, "Understood."

The sky is getting colder and cooler, and the sunset in the distance is only left with a light blush, and the red glow of the sunset is like a beautiful picture scroll dyed by smudges.

Tao Zhuo rubbed the tip of his frozen red nose, put his hands to his mouth and took a breath of hot air.

The majestic crimson city gate was pushed open with a "squeak", and Gu Ye came out together with several generals.

Taozhuo unconsciously raised the corner of his mouth to show a smile, his obsidian-like eyes were shining like stars.

"General, general." The entourage in Tsing Yi rushed over quickly, wiping tears happily, "General, you can be considered to be back. It has been two years since you left, and the whole house is thinking about you. Especially The master, the old lady, and the young lady are looking forward to your return home soon, General."

The smile on Gu Ye's face was very faint, but the warmth in his eyes was very soft, "Are the master and the old lady still in good health?"

"The master has been suffering from the wind and cold for the past few days, but his body is still strong. The old lady eats fast and prays for the general all day long, but she is much thinner than before. There is also the young lady, who always misses the general, and does not think about food or tea."

As he said that, the little attendant gave the carriage a wink, and reminded Gu Ye in a low voice, "The princess is also here."

The soft color in Gu Ye's eyes gradually faded away.

The little attendant ran to the front of the carriage and lifted the dark blue curtain, "General, please get on the carriage."

His footsteps paused, and although hesitation flashed in his eyes, Gu Ye still got into the carriage.The coachman whipped his whip, and the two horses dragged the gorgeous sedan and ran like having fun.

Tao Zhuo was stunned for a moment, he promised to take me back to the General's Mansion, why did he leave it behind?

However, Shen Feng did not come out with them after entering the palace, leaving Tao Zhuo standing alone in the deserted long street so lonely that he was at a loss.

At this time, the entourage in green clothes ran towards Tao Zhuo out of breath, stopped and bent over tiredly panting, "I said, are you stupid? Since you are following the general's entourage, why not Let's go together, so that I will run back to find you."

"I thought..." The general didn't want me again.

Tao Zhuo was both sad and happy, before he finished speaking, the attendant rolled his eyes and blocked back, "You think you're a fart, why don't you hurry up and leave."

It was dark at night, but the streets of Shengjing were still bustling and bustling.Tea-flavored wine shops, Goulan tile houses, singing and dancing, and bright lights.

Tao Zhuo felt that his two eyes were no longer enough, everything he saw was fresh and dazzled.

"Hey, let me ask if you can hurry up." The little follower stopped angrily and waited for Tao Zhuo again, Tao Zhuo trotted to keep up.

"What's your name?" The little follower spoke in a somewhat arrogant tone.

"My name is Tao Zhuo."

"My name is Gu Ansheng." As if to show off, he deliberately bit the word Gu very hard, "My father is the old housekeeper of the general's mansion. I have served the general since I was a child, and you will have to obey my orders from now on."

"Oh." Tao Zhuo nodded vigorously, feeling that Gu Ansheng in front of him seemed very remarkable.

The two ran around and finally caught up with the carriage when they were approaching the General's Mansion.

The bright red lanterns reflect the gold-plated handwriting on the golden nanmu plaque - General's Mansion.A stele was erected on both sides of the vermilion gate, with the inscriptions "Let the undead country rest in the loyalty and pride", and "The mountains and rivers have not been changed, and we will follow them to the death."

They were inscribed by the founding emperor Jingdi and the first emperor Xuandi respectively. The two inscriptions are like gold medals for avoiding death, standing proudly outside the general's mansion.

A few attendants gathered outside the door, and when Gu Ye raised the curtain of the car, someone ran back to the mansion and shouted all the way, "The general is back, the general is back."

Jumping off the carriage, Gu Ye looked at Tao Zhuo first, and then walked towards the mansion.

He had just stepped on the stone steps when he heard an angry voice from behind, "Gu Ye, stop for me."

Tao Zhuo followed the voice and saw a beautiful woman in red walking out of the sedan chair.Her eyebrows are like Dai in distant mountains, and her complexion is fairer than snow.Her beautiful eyes are full of anger, although she has a savage attitude, it can't hide her alluring posture.

Gu Ansheng hurried forward and carefully helped the woman out of the carriage.

Stepping forward quickly, grabbing Gu Ye's ink-colored dress with slender fingers, he said angrily, "I am the wife you are marrying, and I am also the young wife of the general's mansion, but I just want to say something to you, you have been cold all the way. Who are you showing your face to?"

The phoenix eyes lightly glanced at the fingers clutched on the clothes, Gu Ye raised his hand in disgust and pushed them away.

"When the princess insisted on getting married back then, she told the emperor and the queen mother that she didn't care whether I liked you or not, and only wanted to be my wife. Now that the title is given to you, you are not satisfied."

"If I know that you are a stubborn rock that can't be warmed up, you will still think that I am willing to marry you."

Gu Ye raised his thin lips and showed a sneer, "The princess can ask for another imperial decree, and I don't mind even if she divorces her husband."

After speaking, he walked away without looking back.

"Gu Ye, you bastard." Princess Pingnan yelled angrily and hysterically.

Gu Ansheng hurriedly stepped forward and bowed his knees to persuade, "Don't be angry, the princess. The general is tired from traveling for two years, so his attitude is a bit colder. And the general just got a reward and was awarded the title. The princess is so easy to provoke gossip."

There was a clear slap, and red five finger marks appeared on Gu Ansheng's cheek.

"You bastard, it's your turn to teach me." Princess Pingnan's chest heaved greatly in anger, "I will call you young lady from now on, if you dare to say princess again, I will pull out your tongue."

Gu Ansheng knelt down, "Yes, please calm down, young lady, please calm down, young lady."

Tao Zhuo dared to step forward to help Gu Ansheng up after the princess had also entered the mansion.

Gu Ansheng spit secretly, and complained softly to Tao Zhuo, "She deserves to be disliked by the general, like a shrew in the market. Back then, she begged for an edict and an imperial edict before marrying into the general's mansion, relying on being the royal family The relatives of the state are dominating our house."

Tao Zhuo didn't say a word, he knew that the beautiful princess didn't like the general because she was unruly, but because the general had someone else in his heart.As the general himself said, his heart is very small and cannot tolerate other things.
