General's humble stand-in

Just now, he was still shivering from the cold outside, but now he felt sweat dripping from his forehead.It's not that it's hot, it's just that the heartbeat is a little faster, and it's a bit stiff and at a loss.

Hearing no sound, Gu Ye raised his head strangely.When he saw Tao Zhuo standing at the door, a trace of astonishment flashed across his deep phoenix eyes, and then a slight smile appeared at the corners of his mouth.

"I heard that you were assigned to be an errand in the kitchen, but are you still used to it?"

Are you concerned?Tao Zhuo didn't have time to think about it, and hurriedly replied, "I'm used to it, but Ms. Liu always thinks I'm clumsy."

"I see you are getting rounder again."

Tao Zhuo blinked his almond eyes, and after thinking for a while, he asked uncertainly, "Does the general mean that I'm getting fat again?"

Gu Ye smiled without saying a word, lowered his head and continued painting and calligraphy.

It seems so.Tao Zhuo raised his hand and pinched his fleshy cheeks, and explained with some embarrassment, "The food in the kitchen is good, I can't control my mouth."

"You are still growing, so you should eat more." As he spoke, Gu Ye pointed to the mahogany square table under the window, "Put down the soup."

Before he even said a few words, he had the intention of chasing people away, and Tao Zhuo's clear eyes showed a little sadness.Putting down the food box lightly, Tao Zhuo turned to look at Gu Ye.He bit his tender red lips lightly, not knowing whether to say I'm leaving.

After all, he still didn't have the courage to speak, Tao Zhuo silently turned around and prepared to leave dejectedly.

Suddenly there was a sound, "Come here, Yanmo."

Tao Zhuo hurriedly turned his head, only to see that Gu Ye was still painting with his head bowed, his black hair scattered and elegant, as if the sound just now was just an auditory hallucination.

Not daring to step forward rashly, Tao Zhuo knew that the general didn't like to get close to him, so he always kept his duty cautiously.

Gu Ye stopped writing, raised his head, and smiled lightly, "What? Forgot how to grind ink?"

Tao Zhuo shook his head again and again, "I haven't forgotten, I remember everything the general taught me."

The phoenix eyes drooped slightly, and obscure thoughts flowed in the waves of his eyes.With an inaudible sigh, Gu Ye said in a dark voice, "Come here."

The fragrance of ink curls up, clear and elegant.Candles were flickering, and the room was quiet.

The night was getting darker, Tao Zhuo suppressed a yawn and rubbed his sore wrist.Taking a glance at the rice paper on the desk, the light and fresh landscape ink is like a fairyland, and the painting skills are so exquisite that it makes people feel immersive.

"A few days ago, your master asked about your recent situation." Gu Ye said quietly, "I was a little speechless. Thinking about it, I still wronged you."

Suddenly mentioning Shen Feng, Tao Zhuo suddenly felt his nose sore, and asked in a slightly hoarse voice, "Master, is he alright? He hasn't forgotten me, has he?"

Gu Ye looked sideways, saw the blush in Tao Zhuo's eyes, and felt pity in his heart, and comforted him, "You are his only apprentice, and I'm afraid you will never forget it in this life."

The tip of the pen paused slightly, and Gu Ye said with some emotion, "Since he returned to Shengjing, he has been called into the palace for three days and two days to ask for the peace pulse of Princess Anning, and he has no time to see you. I look at the current situation. The Holy Majesty has other intentions, your master is afraid that he will become famous."

Tao Zhuo couldn't understand the twists and turns, he just thought that Shen Feng was promoted to an official position again, and he was happy for him.

On the contrary, Gu Ye was worried. Although Princess An Ning was beautiful, she was an abandoned woman.For a person as proud as Shen Feng, either offending the royal family or seeking justice, it will be difficult in the end.

About half an hour later, Tao Zhuo's eyes began to wander, and the hand holding the ink stick trembled slightly, and he didn't even notice that the ink splashed out.

"Go to sleep." Gu Ye put down his hair and took the ink stick from Tao Zhuo's hand.

Tao Zhuo was a little stunned, top-heavy walked along Gu Ye's bed, and fell headlong on the soft brocade quilt.

Gu Ye shook his head helplessly and chuckled, packed up the books and went to the bedside, and took off Tao Zhuo's shoes.I saw that Tao Zhuo's trousers could barely cover his ankles, and the child had grown tall again.

Taozhuo slept soundly that night, neither dreaming of being abandoned nor awakened by the cold.

The next day, the sky was fine and the sun was very good.

Tao Zhuo was suddenly woken up by someone in his sleep, rubbing his sleepy eyes, he saw Gu Ansheng standing beside the bed angrily.

I don't know what he was angry about, Tao Zhuo didn't dare to ask, after sitting up, he realized that he was resting on the general's bed last night.Probably knowing why Gu Ansheng got angry, Tao Zhuo hurriedly got out of bed, bent over and spread the bedding neatly.

Looking at Tao Zhuo's busy back, Gu Ansheng snorted coldly, "You are really capable, you dared to sleep on the general's bed. If you don't understand the rules, and don't distinguish between superiors and inferiors, I should go back to the old lady and treat you, a country boy Get out of the general's mansion."

Tao Zhuo originally thought that Gu Ansheng was upset because he messed up the bed, but now he thinks it is not.

Gently pinching Gu Ansheng's sleeve, Tao Zhuo begged, "Please don't let the old lady drive me away, I didn't mean to break the rules. Last night I studied ink for the general, and I was really sleepy and confused. I just fell asleep on the general's bed in a daze. I will never be so unruly in the future, you, don't tell the old lady, please."

By the end, almost begging.Shengjing is so big, but after leaving the general's mansion, Taozhuo became a helpless orphan again.Therefore, he was afraid of leaving, afraid of being abandoned, and afraid of wandering alone on the street.

"You don't pretend to be pitiful with me." Gu Ansheng shook off Tao Zhuo's hand, feeling resentful, "I've seen you like this a lot, as pitiful as you are on the surface, you are as dirty as you are behind the scenes, and treacherous when you look stupid. I dare to sleep on the general's bed, if I let you go this time, you will have to be lawless. And I have served the general since I was a child, and I have been scolded and beaten for the general, and I have never dared to stain the general's bed."

What was said earlier was impassioned, but in the end there was a bit of sourness.If this kid can sleep here, it must be the general's acquiescence.Gu Ansheng felt aggrieved when he thought that he had served the general for nearly 20 years, but in the end he was not as good as this newcomer.

Tao Zhuo timidly grabbed Gu Ansheng's sleeve again, "I really don't dare in the future, please..."

The creaking sound of the door interrupted Tao Zhuo's words.

Gu Ye glanced at the pair of white hands clasped on Gu Ansheng's sleeves at a glance, and his expression was slightly startled.As if seeing something that shouldn't be seen, Gu Ye hurriedly looked away.

Unexplainably uncomfortable, Gu Ye covered his lips and coughed lightly to ease the embarrassment in his heart.

"I saw that your clothes didn't fit you well last night, and it's almost the New Year's Eve. I'll ask the embroiderer to come over and make two suits for you in a while."

"Ah?" Tao Zhuo's brain was slow to react, and he was stunned for a moment, and then he showed a shy and pure smile, "Thank you, General."

"Yeah." Gu Ye nodded lightly, "You don't have to go to the kitchen anymore, just stay here and wait on me."

Gu Ansheng, who was ignored, was anxious and hurriedly asked, "General, what about me?"

"You?" Gu Ye was slightly puzzled, "What's wrong with you?"

Gu Ansheng looked aggrieved, "The general left him to serve, what about me? I have been with the general for nearly 20 years anyway, you can't love the new and dislike the old."

"I didn't say to drive you away, Tao Zhuo is young and doesn't know the rules of the house, you will take him to teach him more in the future."

Although Gu Ansheng was reluctant, he had to agree.

In this way, after going round and round, Tao Zhuo finally stayed by Gu Ye's side again.
