Entering the Fangcao Pavilion, Han Tuo walked into Youlan's residence without anyone leading the way.

Because it was notified in advance, You Lan was already ready, sitting in the pavilion, waiting for Han Tuo's arrival.

The date in the pavilion was requested by Han Tuo. From the very beginning, Han Tuo never strayed a step. He interacted with her openly and aboveboard. Even if there were discussions, it would not cause too many negative comments.

Han Tuo was born in the Han family and held a lot of power. The old general Han always reminded him to be cautious in his words and deeds.

It is also extremely strict on women's sex. If you want to marry into the family, you can't touch a girl's finger, otherwise you will be whipped seven times and forty-nine as punishment. This is clearly recorded in the Han family's family rules and ancestors.Because of this, the Han family has never produced absurd descendants who are addicted to fireworks and willow lanes or rob people's daughters.

Han Tuo is also a different kind. When this incident was first reported, he was taught a lesson by the old general. Later, when he heard that they were friends of honest and honest gentlemen, he couldn't say anything more.

To this day, Han Tuo is still the same. Even though he has a crush on Youlan, he never makes any ambiguous behaviors that are too intimate before he decides to marry her.

In addition to making appointments in the pavilion, there is another special requirement, that is, every time you meet Han Tuo, you don't have to comb your hair in a bun. Tie it up at the end of your hair and let it loose the rest of the time.

Originally, tying her hair was just to show respect to the guests, but now that some guests specifically request not to tuck their hair, You Lan naturally has no objections.

At this moment, Han Tuo had come to the pavilion.

Dressed in a flowing white dress, with light makeup and black hair, a slender young beauty is standing by the table, watching Han Tuo walking towards the pavilion with a slight smile on her face.

"I haven't seen you for nearly a year, and Major General Han is still handsome." A soft and pleasant female voice sounded.

"You Lan is the one, still magnificent and radiant." Han Tuo teased her familiarly.

"Major General Han has won the prize, please sit down."

When Han Tuo sat on the stone bench, You Lan also sat down.

"Major General Han must have had many adventures this year, don't you plan to tell You Lan about it?" You Lan lifted the teapot and poured a cup of spring tea into the other's cup.

"It is indeed a fortuitous encounter." Han Tuo took a sip of tea, and after a while, he looked at her with a smile, "I met a bosom friend."

You Lan's hand holding the tea trembled almost imperceptibly, and then asked in a soft voice with interest, "The person who can make Major General Han a confidant must have something special, but I don't know what kind of person it is." people?"

"Hmm...he is a gentle and refined gentleman."

"Oh? Gentleman?"

"That's right, he is a gentleman. If you meet him, you will definitely fall in love with him. He is as gentle as jade, with outstanding temperament, personable, both civil and military, and a rare excellence in the world. The most important point is that we are very speculative, not only tacit understanding It's perfect, and equally ingenious and resourceful."

"I can't believe that there are such good people in this world?"

"You do not believe?"

"How could Youlan not believe what Young General Han said?"

"That's good. Let me tell you, he and I hit it off right away. Last March..." Han Tuo spoke out with great interest what he and Qing Ming had experienced together this year.

You Lan listened very carefully, and would smile cooperatively when she heard the key points.

Throughout the afternoon, Han Tuo was talking, You Lan was listening, and he even forgot about eating.

In the end, it was Han Tuo who realized that the time was too late, so he stopped in time, otherwise he didn't know when to talk.

"It's so late, I should go back." No matter how late Han Tuo stayed in Fangcao Pavilion, he would never stay here overnight. This was an agreement between him and the old man.

"Young General Han might as well eat some supper before leaving." You Lan asked to stay.

"Don't bother, you can eat and rest quickly. I'm a man, strong and strong, it's nothing, it's just hard work for you, sit with me all afternoon, and listen to what I have to say."

"It's okay, Youlan likes to hear the major general talk about those interesting things outside. After all, Youlan won't have the chance to go outside in her life." The smile on her face faded, and her eyes became melancholy.

Han Tuo stretched out his hand to comfort her delicate shoulders.

You Lan raised her eyes, "General?"

"Pay more attention. If you sincerely ask for marriage, you can marry what you like. When the time comes, the sky will be high and the earth will be wide. You can go wherever you want. Of course, don't worry about the dowry. From now on, I will be your natal family. Brother."

The complexity in You Lan's eyes flashed away, and then she smiled, took a step back, bowed and said, "Big brother, please accept my little sister's respect."

Han Tuo hurriedly helped her up, and said with a smile, "You and I have been friends for so many years, why bother to show such vain gifts."

"It's my little sister who has gone outside."

"Isn't it?" Han Tuo patted her on the shoulder, "Okay, go and rest, I'll be back."

"Bye bye, brother!"

"Well, there's no need to send it away." Han Tuo waved her to go back, and left without looking back.

Watching his back disappearing around the corner, You Lan's soft smile turned into indescribable sadness.

"Since you don't want to be commensurate with his brothers and sisters, why don't you tell him clearly? You know, at his age, he might start a family soon, and you don't have many chances."

Behind her, a young gentleman with a bit of chic in his laziness, was leaning against the pillar in boredom.

"He didn't like me from the very beginning. When we first met, I knew that I was someone's substitute. He couldn't understand this, but I could see it clearly all the time, because his eyes never They didn't look at me, but looked for someone's shadow through me."

I really don't know what kind of woman it is, which can make this young and famous major general think about it all the time. Speaking of which, when he was talking about that person named Qingming just now, was his expression too... No no no, definitely I was wrong, that Qing Ming is a man, Major General Han should like a woman, right? !

should?

As Youlan thought about it, she suddenly couldn't be sure.

Han Tuo has not been close to women these years. Apart from himself, there is no other woman who is close to him. Because he is a substitute, he preconceived that the person he is looking for is also a woman. Could it be a man?

Thinking about it this way, besides his brothers in the military camp, Han Tuo doesn't seem to have any particularly close friends... Wait, Qing Ming?

Who the hell is that person?He said they had met before, but he couldn't remember where?

No, it's really him, right?

As Youlan thought about it, the blood on her face faded completely.

"What are you thinking? His face is as pale as a ghost!" The young man had already walked in front of her at some point, seeing her standing silently, her face getting paler, he couldn't help asking.

"No, it's nothing. If there's nothing else to do, You Lan will leave first." She suppressed the thoughts just now in her heart.

"Go, go, go back and stay, such an ugly face, don't scare the guests!"

You Lan has long been used to speaking to him like a knife, so she simply saluted and left.

"Really, the older you get, the more boring you get!" He muttered in a low voice, looking forward to his beauty with his slightly pale peach eyes, he turned his eyes and said with a smile, "Let's go to Jincao to find Xiao'an~"

Han Tuo was in a good mood after leaving Fangcao Pavilion and meeting a righteous sister.

He completely forgot that before in Xishan City, he wanted to marry Youlan into a family. It was just a random thought when he was in a panic, and he forgot it when he forgot it. From then on, he probably never thought of it again. .

Back at Han Mansion, Monkey and the others are all there.

"Boss, why are you back so early? I haven't seen you for such a long time, and I won't stay there for a while!"

"That's right, Boss, it's already at this time, what kind of gentleman's etiquette are you still keeping? Anyway, sooner or later, you will marry and go home!"

"I didn't expect that time flies so fast, and the major general has reached the age to start a family."

Monkey and the others laughed and teased Han Tuo.

"What are you thinking about all the time? You Lan is my younger sister. I will marry her in the future. People will listen to it. It will be a hindrance to her reputation. Don't make such jokes in the future."

"Sister? Boss... are you serious?" Monkey leaned forward and confirmed with a stiff expression.

"Do you think I'm joking now?" Han Tuo didn't smile at all, but was serious and firm.

"This..." Everyone looked at each other.

"Butler Li, ask the kitchen to cook some supper," Han Tuo ordered.

"Yes, sir."

"What's the matter? Suddenly stopped talking?" Han Tuo drank his saliva and looked at them suspiciously.

"Major General, logically speaking, we shouldn't ask about your personal affairs, but I still want to ask, I don't know...?" Old Wei hesitated.

"If you want to ask, just ask? When did I guard against you?"

"Major General, do you really not like Miss Youlan at all?"

"I'm not possessive of her, and I won't in the future." Han Tuo knew what he wanted to ask, and said bluntly.

"Then Major General, what kind of woman do you like?" Old Wei continued to ask.

"What kind of woman? Calm and elegant, gentle as water, and understanding," Han Tuo dropped three words, but Qing Ming's figure couldn't help but come to mind.

Huh?Why did you suddenly think of Qingming?Calculated in this way, it has been more than a month since we separated, and I don't know if he is doing well or not, has he made it home smoothly?When is the next meeting.

Thinking about it, a soft smile appeared on Han Tuo's face unconsciously.

The monkey felt that something was wrong, so it came to Lao Wei's side and poked him, "Old Wei, who is the boss thinking of? Why this expression?"

"You ask me, who do I ask, we basically follow the boss every day, have you seen any woman he has been in close contact with?"

"It's just weird not having it~"

"Forget it, let's not meddle in the boss's affairs, the old general is not in a hurry, why are we in a hurry!"

"That's true." Monkey pursed his lips and nodded.

At this time, no matter how they guessed, the person that appeared in Han Tuo's mind was not a woman at all, but a man, a man they knew!

Time flies, and another ten days have passed.

In the past few days, apart from going to court normally, the rest of the time is either going to the Fangcao Pavilion to chat with Youlan, or going drinking and hanging out with his subordinates.

On the morning of March [-], Han Tuo received the order from the palace.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Old General Han will arrive at the Qili Pavilion outside the city at noon today, and they will send Young General Han out of the city to meet them.
