General mighty

General Zhen Guo is the second-rank military attache of the court.The official rank is second only to the governors of the five armies and the internal and external ministers of Luan Yiwei, who have the right to command the three battalions of guards, soldiers, and forwards.

On weekdays, he is responsible for training soldiers and paying attention to protecting the safety of Gyeonggi and the five peripheral roads.

Although the Jiang family is among the eight major families in the capital, it is one of the two at the bottom.Firstly, there is no huge family support, and secondly, the Jiang family's prosperity originated from the Jiang family, the Empress Dowager of the Kangning Dynasty, which is different from other high schools, so the foundation is not stable.

Jiang Jintian was able to achieve what he is today because he fought his way out of the ranks of soldiers.

Today is New Year’s Eve, when the extreme yin is at its peak, and the yang energy is beginning to grow—the sun’s southern solstice, the shortest of days, the prosperity is getting stronger, and the next cycle between heaven and earth will start. The winter solstice is a very auspicious day.

The old general was not in the hall, nor was he in the training ground where he usually went, but stayed in the study.

It's not that he is illiterate, it's just that he doesn't have the ambition.

The books stacked on the large row of bookshelves behind the desk are mostly old books picked up from the market. There is a beautifully framed box, which looks neat and beautiful on the shelf.

Although someone cleans it three times a day, the cleaner the unpopular house, the more deserted it will appear.

The old general sat behind the desk, lit a lamp, and was groping for a jade dagger against the light.The jade sword has no front, but it looks simple and elegant. On the hilt is carved a complete picture of King Lanling entering the battle, and even cleverly carved a natural strand of sword tassel at the end of the hilt.

Rubbing lightly, the sword spike made a crisp jade sound when the hilt moved.

"Qingyang..." The old general looked tenderly at the jade sword in his hand, "Did you know? Jun'er, our Jun'er is promising now, he-his injury seems to have healed, and he's still joining the army The expedition to Rong and Di made great achievements."

"If you are...you will, I'm very happy..."

The old general's eyes were slightly red, but the corners of his mouth were raised. Unfortunately, the only answers to him were the howling wind and snow in the yard, the lively fireworks in the streets outside, and the laughter of children.

At this time, there was a knock on the door of the study room. The old general frowned, and was about to speak—he just thought that the servants at home were worried about him and came to persuade him—but he heard Jiang Jun coming from outside the door. Light tone:

"Father! Don't hide in the house alone, it's Chinese New Year, come out and eat dumplings together!"

Jiang Jun is back? !

Before the old general could clean up the embarrassed expression on his face, the door of the study was pushed open by Jiang Jun from the outside. He was holding a bowl of steaming dumplings, and the white mist almost covered his entire face.

"Father—! What are you doing quietly hiding here alone..." Jiang Jun took two steps forward, and suddenly glared: "Father, why are you crying?!"

Jiang Jun hastily put down the basin in his hand, went around the desk and grabbed the shoulder of the man who suddenly turned his back to wipe his tears: "Father, you——what's wrong with you?!"

"No, it's nothing," the old general hastily wiped his face twice: "Father, father is fine!"

How does this seem to be okay?

But the man did not flick his tears lightly, but he didn't reach the point of sadness. Jiang Jun looked at the old father's movements and expressions in an unnatural way, and the jade sword he held in his hand didn't look like a man's thing at all, so he felt sad. There is a vague guess.

Jiang Jun rolled his eyes, smiled and took the old general's hand: "It's fine! Dad, let's eat dumplings together for Chinese New Year today. I made these dumplings myself, your son!"

"……you?"

Looking at the surprised and unbelievable expression on the old general's face, Jiang Jun breathed a sigh of relief in his heart—fortunately, the old general doesn't seem to be the type of man who believes in "a gentleman stays away from the kitchen".

"Yeah, hurry up, hurry up, don't hide in the study, come out with me, you can't hide alone during Chinese New Year today, my son still wants to ask you for New Year's money!"

Jiang Jun pulled the old general out involuntarily. Jiang Jintian looked at his son and then at the sword in his hand. After hesitating for a while, he put the jade sword into a wooden box without paying attention. Put it away, and leave with Jiang Jun.

It was not until the small hall not far from the study that the old general discovered that a table for the Four Immortals had been prepared long ago.On the table, there were also three sets of bowls and chopsticks, and three jugs of wine were even warmed in the corner next to it.

The freshly baked dumplings were steaming and placed in three different pots, and with the one pot that Jiang Jun had just carried over, it seemed that there were a lot of dumplings.

"This...you...you did it?!"

"Of course," Jiang Jun raised his head proudly, glanced at the direction of the small kitchen as if remembering something, touched his nose again, lowered his head and said embarrassedly: "Yeah, I didn't do it alone. , and one person helped."

"One more person?"

The old general also followed Jiang Jun's gaze, and saw his son's expression of bowing his head as if embarrassed. Jiang Jintian was slightly startled, and put his arms around Jiang Jun's shoulders, his arms sank, and he lowered his head. Shenger said:

"Stinky boy, you won't just kidnap a big girl with yellow flowers from someone else's family to cook at our house right after you return to the capital, right?"

"...Pfft" Jiang Jun suppressed a smile, and immediately clarified: "Father, I really didn't kidnap this time."

The old general was full of suspicion, staring at Jiang Jun and always felt that his son had kidnapped someone else's daughter.But when he looked at Jiang Jun's face, standing in front of the small snow hall under the firelight wearing a snow-white fox fur, he really felt a little...feeling like an exile.

...That's right, the old general was relieved after seeing it this way: he had a son who was handsome and promising, so he should recruit people like this.

then,

Wei Wu, who came out with a plate of fried peanuts that Jiang Jun had confessed, saw such a strange scene——

On weekdays, the majestic General Zhen Guo and his son hooked up shoulder to shoulder, and both of them had the same weird smile on their faces: it seemed proud, but with a three or four point...unnecessary beating?

Wei Wu endured this strange perception, bit the bullet and headed in the direction of Jiang Jun and Old General Jiang.

In fact, when Wei Wu came out of the kitchen, the old general had noticed this young man—he looked plain, but his steps were steady and his figure was tall and straight. He should be a trainer.

The plain black clothes were made of extremely high-quality materials, so it seemed that he was not a servant of the Jiang family.

"Who is this--?"

"This one," Jiang Jun got out of the old general's hand, walked over to take the plate in Wei Wu's hand, turned his head and said to Jiang Jintian with a smile, "it's the yellow flower that I've 'abducted' home from what my father said. Big girl' ah."

Wei Wu: "..."

Old General: "...???"

Sighing, Wei Wu pinched his brows which had been frowned no longer, shook his head and bowed down to the old general: "At Xia Wei Wu, who comes from Jianghu, I took the liberty to visit today, and I hope the general will forgive me!"

His voice was loud, and his posture was neither humble nor overbearing. The old general was only stunned for a while, then walked down to help Wei Wu himself: "Is Jun'er's friend, right? This kid is really serious, how can he let the guests cook!"

Jiang Jun winked at Wei Wu, smiled and agreed, then pulled his father and Wei Wu to sit together.

"Wei Wu is not a guest." Jiang Jun didn't stop playing. He poured wine for the old general in a serious manner: "This is the daughter-in-law my son begged for you! The daughter-in-law fried a plate of peanuts for the future father-in-law, and What's wrong?"

Wei Wu smiled, but didn't say anything, just pushed the dishes towards the old general: "How about I serve you a bowl of soup to warm your stomach? I heard from Jiang Jun that you haven't eaten since you came back. Drinking on an empty stomach hurts the stomach."

The old general didn't speak, but looked at Wei Wu seriously with the eyes of examining his daughter-in-law.

"...General?"

It wasn't until Wei Wu was frightened and the expression on his face couldn't hold back, that the old general laughed "hahahahaha" regardless of his image, and he waved his hand boldly: "Okay, okay! Where are you? There are so many things to pay attention to!"

"You two boys—" After holding Wei Wu's chopsticks and pushing Jiang Jun a big round dumpling, he picked up his wine glass and rolled his eyes: "It's done, stop messing around, Dad I was young too, I understand!"

As he said that, he didn't care about the surprised expressions of Jiang Jun and Wei Wu, he picked up a dumpling and took a big bite, and was fascinated by the fresh|tender|juicy taste, so he smiled three times Two strokes solved one.

"Ouch—! I didn't expect that! Jun'er, you still have such skills! Not bad, not bad, what are you still doing in a daze? Eat quickly! These dumplings... tsk tsk, there is really nothing to say!"

Looking at the old general's nonchalant and big-hearted reaction, Jiang Jun and Wei Wu both had expressions of "seeing a ghost", and the old general took what they just said as nonsense and didn't take it to heart at all. .

That's right, when I was young in the military camp, which soldier hadn't made such an inconspicuous joke to the comrades who made friends with me--the trick that I will marry you and go home when I become famous in the future.

The old general was genuinely happy for Jiang Jun's "friend", but he didn't understand Jiang Jun and Wei Wu's determination to "come out" to him at all.

Seeing that the two of them didn't move, the old general was not polite, and they ate one after another with great enjoyment.Jiang Jun and Wei Wu looked at each other, suddenly didn't know how to take this trick——

Jiang Jun: "..." After taking the pills, my dad might actually be a foodie.

Wei Wu: "..." It's amazing, no wonder my father-in-law is called "Lao Taishan", this concentration——!

Jiang Jun looked at the smile on his father's face from the heart, and after a second thought, he figured it out.He patted Wei Wu's thigh and gave him a look. Wei Wu immediately understood and responded with a slight smile.

Jiang Jun took the lead and Wei Wu followed. The two raised their wine glasses to toast the old general. The old general was taken aback for a moment, and clinked glasses with the two of them cheerfully.

Seeing the heavy snow in the garden under the dark sky, it seemed that even half of the icy snowflakes could not fall into this small hall, Jiang Jun squinted his eyes, sipped the wine in his glass, and raised a smile:

It doesn't matter if dad knows or not.

The important thing is that he and Wei Wu spent this little eve with the old general.

Three men, one family.

"By the way, dad—" and "By the way, Jun'er, dad has something to do..."

Unexpectedly, the smile on the corner of Jiang Jun's mouth has not been withdrawn, he and the old general opened their mouths at the same time, after the two looked at each other, they both smiled, and said "You speak first" at the same time.

Wei Wu watched the interaction between their father and son, and also laughed.

"Father, let's talk first. After all, seniors and young are respectful and orderly. It's not good to lose face in front of your daughter-in-law, isn't it?" Jiang Jun said, and winked mischievously at Wei Wu.

The old general was so teased by him that he couldn't stop laughing. After laughing, he shook his head and calmed down, and said a word to Jiang Jun slowly.

He said: "Jun'er, dad is going to resign and go into hiding—"

The author has something to say: Jiang Jun: "..." After taking the pills, my father may actually be a foodie.

Pill: Squeak?

Wei Wu: I'm scared, that Zhang Qianji, you can help me buy a copy of "A Quick Complete Encyclopedia of Common Household Vegetables".

Zhang Qianji:? ? ? ?
