Half way generals don't marry

The annual Mid-Autumn Festival banquet is the busiest day in Gu Mansion.

Gu Yunkang purchased the ingredients for the family banquet a few days earlier, and the mooncakes for the Mid-Autumn Festival were also specially made according to the different tastes of several people.

Gu Rong saw that Gu Yunkang was busy these past few days, but he was also very busy, and sometimes he felt a little sour in his heart.I don't even know what they like.

Gu Yunkang asked them about their favorite dishes, cakes, who likes to drink what kind of wine, who loves tea more; who likes mooncakes filled with jujube paste, who only eats pea yellow, who loves lotus seed paste, and who likes red bean paste , who prefers a lighter taste.Everything is clear.

Since he became the general of the Gu family army, he can no longer be called a real father.However, only Zhao Menghe had been taught by Gu Rong himself.

Zhao Menghe is a few years older than Gu Yushan. The young and vigorous Gu Yushan doesn't pay attention to anyone, but he is only convinced by Zhao Menghe.

Both Jing Ze and Jiang Yizhou were first taught by Gu Yunkang, and then experienced by Lu Wenchong.As for Gu Cheng and Ye Hongliao, Lu Wenchong directly took care of them.

None of his children came out under his own hands.

I don't know if this is the biggest dereliction of duty as a father.

And all along, these children have been closer to Gu Yunkang.

As if, Gu Yunkang is more like a father.

It was already evening, and in a few hours it would be the dinner party.

Gu Rong sat on a chair in the lobby, supported his crutches with both hands, raised his head and looked at the stars gradually emerging in the courtyard.

Every Mid-Autumn Festival is also the day he looks forward to every year.

Because only at this time, he can take a good look at those children.Only then can he appear in front of them as a father.

Every Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet, the children will arrange military affairs and go home early to help.

At this time, Gu Rong would stay here in the lobby until the family banquet started.

A dereliction of duty father, in this way, watched the so-called family happiness from a distance.

In the kitchen, Gu Yunkang was in charge of the spoon himself. Gu Cheng and Ye Hongliu came in to help, but Gu Yunkang knocked him on the head with a big spoon and drove them out.

If they are helped by the two of them, then this dinner will not be able to be eaten next year.

Because it was a family banquet, it was rare for Ye Hongli and Gu Cheng to change into casual clothes.Ye Hongliu wore a gown embroidered with black thread on a red background, and Gu Cheng wore a blue-blue gown embroidered with light gray branches and leaves.

Ye Hongliu and Gu Cheng, who were kicked out of the kitchen, were bumped into by Jing Ze and Jiang Yizhou, who had just returned from the army.Seeing the disheveled faces of the two of them, they knew that they were pretending to help but actually failed to steal food, so they were kicked out by Gu Yunkang.

At this time, Izawa had already changed into a long gown with dark purple embroidered patterns and black thread embroidered on a purple background, and Jiang Yizhou had changed into a long gown with a light blue veil on a white background.

Seeing the two of them dressed casually at home, it seemed as if they had returned to those days when they grew up together in the Gu Mansion.The two also didn't care about the etiquette in the army, and rushed forward to greet them excitedly.

"Three brothers and four brothers!"

Seeing the two of them like this, Izawa no longer cares about it even though it is difficult to let go of military etiquette for a while.

After all, it was the Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet, they were just his brothers at this moment, and he was just an older brother.

"Third brother, where is sister-in-law?"

Ye Hongliao stretched his neck to search behind the two of them, seeing that they were the only ones, he asked suspiciously.

"Your sister-in-law has been pregnant for more than eight months. It is an extraordinary period. It is inconvenient to come to the family banquet this year."

Izawa replied.There is Wu Ma taking care of the house, which is also reassuring.

"Then Hong Liao and I will visit my sister-in-law tomorrow."

Gu Cheng said expectantly.

"The third sister-in-law is just about to give birth, so it's not appropriate to see more people. You should be honest, that's the best concern for the third sister-in-law."

Jiang Yizhou added that he was afraid that if the two went to the mansion, one of them would cause some trouble if he got emotional.

No one in the Gu family can teach them about pregnancy and childbirth.It's hard to say what's going to happen if you're so dazed.

"Oh……"

Gu Cheng and Ye Hongliu nodded.That expression, other than reconciliation or reluctance, was powerless to resist.

Izawa didn't bother to pay attention to the emotions of the two of them, so he just ordered: "Ah Cheng, you go to the wine cellar with the boat to get the wine; Hong Liao, you follow me to Mingshan House to pick him up."

"Yes!"

Gu Cheng responded.

"Why didn't I get the wine?"

Polygonum foliage refused to accept it.

Izawa glanced at Ye Hongliu up and down, and asked, "Going up and down the wine cellar and fetching wine, what did you do?"

Ye Hongliu pursed her lips in disbelief.What Izawa said is correct, the wine cellar is underground, and it is already very strenuous to climb up and down, let alone move the wine bottles up and down.

Ye Hongliu rubbed his back, he was really powerless now.

Seeing Ye Hongliu's silent and awkward look, Izawa raised his eyes and asked, "Why, you still don't want to pick up your second brother?"

"I do not have……"

Yehong Liao denied it.It's not that he doesn't want to, it's just that he doesn't have the face to see Gu Mingshan.

That day in the Japanese prison, regardless of Gu Mingshan's obstruction, and the person he was about to marry was He Yi, Ye Hongliu felt even more sorry for Gu Mingshan.

Izawa didn't care about his little obsession, he just shook off his sleeves and said, "Since there isn't one, why don't you follow me!"

Ye Hongliu hesitated for a while, but finally followed.

The wine cellar of the Gu Mansion is in the backyard, and most of the wine cellars are good wines hidden by the previous owners of the Gu Mansion.

What is a good wine?Probably put the people's safety in the gunpowder battlefield, and drunk him while watching the horse leather shroud.

In this world, the predecessors plant trees, and the descendants enjoy the shade.In Yueling City, the soldiers killed the enemy, and the people enjoyed peace.In this Gu mansion, the ancestors kept wine, and they enjoyed it.

Who said that the person who drips water must spring up to repay him?Who wants to report?Who said they want you to repay each other?

Jiang Yizhou didn't walk very fast, neither hurried nor slow.

No matter what time, Jiang Yizhou is always like this, he is not in a hurry about anything.Step by step, step by step.

Gu Cheng also followed Jiang Zhou's side unhurriedly, as if in front of Jiang Zhou, no matter the troubles and trifles in the entire Yueling City, or the blood flowing into rivers in the entire battlefield, they were all trivial matters that could be resolved one by one.

Probably Jiang Yizhou noticed that Gu Cheng was staring at him, and maybe he wanted to say this to Gu Cheng, but Jiang Yizhou said slowly: "Old Lu just left, you still need to put more thought into managing the army. "

When Lu Wenchong was mentioned, Gu Cheng lowered his head and replied in a low voice, "Yes, fourth brother."

Seeing him sad, Jiang Yizhou knew that for Gu Cheng and Ye Hongliu, what happened to Lu Wenchong was a pain that could never be remembered in a lifetime.

But he, the fifth younger brother, knew it.Just because of the words "considering the overall situation", he is enough to take on the responsibility of Lu Wenchong.

"After all, you are young, and it is your first time to manage the army. It is inevitable that the soldiers in the army will be dissatisfied, so don't make things difficult for you. You are now the officer in charge of the army, Gu Cheng, who obeyed the order to patrol the city and charge. The military must act more calmly and comprehensively; when necessary, it must also establish a military prestige."

Gu Cheng understands that Jiang Yizhou is teaching him how to govern the army, how to be an officer of the Gu family army.

When Gu Yushan asked Gu Cheng to take over Lu Wenchong's position, although Gu Cheng didn't refuse, he dared not refuse.But Gu Cheng, who had only been one of Lu Wenchong's defenders for ten years, had no confidence in his heart.

In terms of qualifications and experience, I am not as good as Izawa and Jiang Yizhou.But Gu Cheng also understands that managing the Military Law Office and managing the people of Yueling City is far more difficult and important than leading the army.

But looking at Gu Jiajun, the only ones who can take on this important task are Jing Ze and Jiang Yizhou.

However, Lu Wenchong did not lack soldiers with rich combat experience and management experience.Thinking of this level, the anxiety and uneasiness in Gu Cheng's heart never ceased for a moment.

As Ye Hongliao said, Lu Wenchong only taught them how to be soldiers, not how to lead them.

Now if Lu Wenchong knew about it, Po Meng's soup would be sprayed all over Meng Po's face in anger.

He personally led the soldiers for ten years, one of them retreated full of heart, and didn't know how to take on the army he had taught so hard; while the other was even worse, disobeying the military order and giving up his military uniform privately, he couldn't even be a soldier.

"Thank you fourth brother, Ah Cheng... Ah Cheng will work hard."

Jiang Yizhou could hear the lack of confidence and anxiety in his tone, so he stopped, patted Gu Cheng's shoulder lightly, and said with a smile: "Ah Cheng, Yushan wants you to take over the duties of Lao Lu because I believe you must have This ability. Don't have too much burden, just manage the army according to your own way. If you really encounter difficulties, don't worry, there are me and third brother."

Gu Cheng nodded, listened carefully, and carefully remembered Jiang Yizhou's words in his heart.

In a blink of an eye, he had reached the entrance of the wine cellar.

Gu Cheng leaned over and removed the door cover covering the entrance of the wine cellar. Under the door cover was a slightly steep stone staircase leading to the underground wine cellar.As soon as the door cover was removed, a mellow aroma of wine came to the face.

It's just that I didn't expect that there was dust at the entrance of the wine cellar.

In the past, Gu Cheng and Ye Hongliao would secretly come to this wine cellar, and sometimes they would get drunk in the wine cellar.

Since the wine cellar is underground and in the backyard, it is not easy to be found, and it is common to sleep for a few days and nights.

Sometimes being punished by Gu Yushan or Izawa made them unhappy, and the two would vent their anger on the fine wine in the wine cellar; sometimes they would sneak a few jugs of tin and offer it to Lu Wenchong to please him.

However, since Zhao Menghe was killed in battle last year, things in Yueling City have happened one after another.They can't even catch it, let alone come to this wine cellar to drink.

Why?Who gave the wine for Lu Wenchong's burial with Ye Hongliao last time?

Mi Wu doesn't drink alcohol, to be precise, the kind of alcohol that can be poured down by a drop.

So, why does Dr. Lingolin have the wine from Gufu wine cellar?

Thinking of this, Gu Cheng looked suspiciously at Jiang Yizhou standing there.Jiang Yizhou stared at him and asked, "What's the matter?"

"No no……"

Gu Cheng shook his head again and again, signaling to Jiang Yizhou that he should go down first.

I couldn't help sighing in my heart: I didn't expect that the fourth brother was also a frequent visitor to this wine cellar.

Didn't the fact that he and Rhizoma Polygonum drank so darkly in this wine cellar have been discovered long ago?He also secretly hated himself for being stupid, before he only cared about stealing wine and drinking, why didn't he pay attention to it?

Jiang Yizhou then went down to the wine cellar, and with the dim light coming in from the entrance of the corridor, Jiang Yizhou noticed the blush on Gu Cheng's face when he was found to be drinking secretly.Probably because he guessed that Gu Cheng already understood that he found out that they were drinking secretly.

In fact, the wine taste of the two is not good.Every time after getting drunk in this wine cellar, he either yelled or sang some rhetorical songs that were not in tune at all.

What's more, he uttered some rude words outright - especially after being wronged by Gu Yushan and Izawa.

Of course, these were discovered by accident when I promised Ringo to come to find wine.

Why did you agree to come?Jiang Yizhou couldn't remember.

I only remember Ringo's playful laugh when Jiang Yizhou calmly brought Ringo into the wine cellar in the dead of night.

Lingo jokingly said, "I didn't expect Fourth Master Jiang, who has always been well-educated, polite and gentle, to do such a sneaky thing. Fourth Master is really... a gentle scum."

Jiang Yizhou knew that Dr. Lin's oral skills were much better than his medical skills, so he naturally didn't care about it, so he asked angrily, "Then, is Dr. Lin willing to share the spoils with Yi Zhou, a gentleman on Liang?"

Thinking back, when Ringo was so provocative, he would actually join in the booing.

It's true that if you don't get drunk, everyone gets drunk first.

But they were not the first to discover Gu Cheng and Ye Hongliu; Gu Yushan was the first, and Gu Mingshan tied for first.

It seems that the regular customers of this wine cellar that Gu Cheng and Ye Hongliu don't know are not only themselves and Lingo, but also Gu Yushan and Gu Mingshan.

Jiang Yizhou thought about it again, could it be that Izawa is still there?But when he thought of the third sister-in-law's anger, Jiang Yizhou understood that Jingzawa would definitely not dare to come to this wine cellar.

I have been here before, when Lu Wenchong was still a soldier, he and Izawa were also frequent visitors.

At that time, the two of them were just soldiers of the Gu family army; at that time, the third sister-in-law had not yet entered Yueling City; at that time, Lingo was still studying medicine; at that time, Zhao Menghe was still teaching Gu Yushan how to govern At that time, Gu Cheng and Ye Hongliao were still shaking their heads under Gu Yunkang's ruler, reciting the Three Character Classic...

Jiang Yizhou was stunned.

If the events of that time were hidden in this wine cellar, it would definitely be a pot of excellent wine.

Jiang Yizhou still remembers the expression on Gu Yushan's face when Gu Cheng and Ye Hongliao were drunk, holding the barrel and pointing at Gu Yushan and yelling at him.

That's wonderful.

There are several rows of wine racks arranged high and low in the wine cellar the size of two rooms.Hundreds of barrels of wine, large and small, are scattered in the wine racks and surrounding areas.The four sober people tacitly looked at the two who were so drunk that they didn't even know each other.

If Gu Cheng and Ye Hongliao knew about this scene, they would definitely feel quite horrified.

The wine cellar is full of fragile wine barrels and flammable wine, and the two of them are carrying guns. They are definitely not at ease here alone.

It's not that no one noticed that they came to this wine cellar to mess around repeatedly, but that they didn't notice the people who watched them every time.

This is also Gu Yushan's punishment for Jiang Yizhou who brought outsiders into the wine cellar without permission.

Jiang Yizhou secretly lamented that he was unlucky at the time, and couldn't help smiling, thinking that the fifth brother with reddish cheeks was a little cute.

Ye Hongliu, who followed Izawa all the way, did not say a word quietly.

Izawa was puzzled, and when he stood still and turned around to look at Ye Hongliu, his inner struggle and entanglement were all written on his face.

Seeing Jingzawa stopped, Ye Hongli was stunned for a moment, and when she looked up, she saw that she had already arrived at Gu Mingshan's room.

The door of Gu Mingshan's room was open, and Jingzawa saw Gu Mingshan half lying on the bed, holding a book and reading it carefully.

In this huge Yueling City, whether it is in turmoil or war, only here in Gu Mingshan, the weather is calm and the years are peaceful.Izawa couldn't bear to disturb him for a while.

Gu Mingshan noticed that the breeze flowing from the door had changed the direction of the wind, so he slowly raised his head, smiled sweetly, and said softly: "Izawa, Rhododendron, you are here."

Only then did Izawa enter the door, and said: "Uncle Kang is preparing in the kitchen, and Yizhou and Gu Cheng went to the wine cellar to get wine. It's dinner soon, and Red Polygonum and I will pick you up first."

Ye Hongliu also came in, standing behind Izawa, embarrassed to move forward.

Seeing that he was so cautious, Gu Mingshan gently closed the book in his hand and placed it beside the bed, stretched out his hand and groaned to Hong Liao: "Red Polygonum, come here."

Seeing Gu Mingshan calling him, Ye Hongliu immediately strode forward and half-bent to help Gu Mingshan get up.

As expected, Gu Mingshan's body was still weak and tight.

Gu Mingshan got up, but he couldn't stand upright because he was too weak.

These days, the body is too weak to lie down.

Especially after He Yi left.So I have never been able to go to Xizhai to see Yehong Polygonum.

As he walked towards the closet, he asked slowly, "Is the injury better?"

Ye Hongliu was still cautious, but nodded violently.

Gu Mingshan opened the closet, because he lived in Gu's residence for a long time, and the few clothes he often wore were as new as ever, and he felt a little disappointed for a while.

"I heard from elder brother that you are going to get married soon."

Gu Mingshan inadvertently and deliberately brought up the so-called matter that made Ye Hongliao cautious.

Ye Hongliu raised his head and looked at Gu Mingshan in astonishment, but what he saw was Gu Mingshan's usual warm smile.

"Second brother, I'm sorry..."

Ye Hongliao lowered her head and whispered.

"I didn't do it on purpose...I...I don't want to marry He Yi..."

Gu Mingshan was provoked by him and laughed.It was as if the treasure that originally belonged to him, Gu Mingshan, was forcibly given to Ye Hongliu by Gu Yushan.But the Polygonum foliage didn't dare not accept it.

Why did Gu Yushan force it?Because from the beginning to the end, Gu Mingshan did not believe that his elder brother had nothing to do with this sudden engagement.

Gu Mingshan pretended to be serious and said: "You can't talk nonsense in front of your father and elder brother..."

After reacting, Ye Hongliu immediately shut up.Glancing secretly at Izawa, seeing him staring at him, he was even more frightened.

Gu Mingshan saw that he was like a soldier, so he couldn't bear to scare him anymore, pointed to the wardrobe and said: "Come, help me choose some clothes."

Ye Hongliu turned to face the closet, rested her chin and thought for a moment, then took out a blue-and-white robe and mandarin jacket of pure blue and white color and said: "Second brother, how about this one?"

He didn't bother to choose, because he thought his second brother would look good in any outfit.

Gu Mingshan nodded with a slight smile.

Ye Hongliu took the clothes and helped Gu Mingshan change carefully.

"Is Acheng okay?"

Asked Gu Mingshan who was arranging his clothes.

"Um……"

Izawa pondered for a while, he knew what Gu Mingshan was referring to, how was Gu Cheng, who was just a general, okay?

"It's not very good at the moment. Ah Cheng is calm and thoughtful, and he is a general; but he lacks experience in managing the army, and he is not decisive enough. He cannot convince the soldiers for the time being."

Izawa spoke truthfully about his concerns.

"Acheng will be a good officer."

Ye Hongliao, who helped Gu Mingshan tidy up his clothes, raised his voice.

"I trust him. He will be able to run the army well."

He will definitely not disappoint Lao Lu.

When Ye Hongliu learned that Gu Cheng had assumed the responsibility of Lu Wenchong, Ye Hongliu always had unreserved trust and support for this brother who fought bloody battles together day and night.

Izawa did not expect Ye Hongliu to say these words, although he knew that he had great trust and support for Gu Cheng, but he did not expect such absolute trust and support.

This kind of trust seems to be opposed by the whole world, but also stubbornly and unwaveringly believed.

Just like, he has unconditional trust in Jiang Yizhou, the kind of trust that he absolutely believes in even if he doubts himself.

Izawa couldn't tell whether this was good or bad.

But no matter whether he is good or bad, once in this world, it is enough to have such a person who can be completely trusted.

The author has something to say:

Dazai's nonsense:

Indicates that Gu Cheng is the only normal student in "Half Married" o(*￣￣*)ブ

Gu Yushan, the class monitor, appointed Gu Cheng as a study committee member~~~
