Don't run away to touch porcelain

After the first rainstorm, Weiyang Street, where there were only a few high-rise houses and few people walking, became colder and colder. The servants of each family dragged a large broom bundled with bamboo branches and silently swept the fallen leaves in front of their houses. After an autumn rain, the weather As it got colder, Uncle Li, the concierge, rubbed his cold hands, and greeted Hong Xiu who was coming out with a friendly face.

"Lieutenant Hong, are you going out?"

Hong Xiu replied with a smile, "When the general comes down, I'm going to visit the barracks outside the city today."

Uncle Li nodded and continued to chat with Hong Xiu, "I heard that our general was fined a month's salary when he went to court yesterday?"

"Isn't it because of that master in the house?" Hong Xiu complained when he thought of Ji Jiu who was tossing him around, "I don't know where I offended him. , either that the food is not fine enough or that the bedding is not soft enough, either that the water used to make tea is not a mountain spring or that the furnishings in the house are not elegant enough. I eat and drink and wait on him, but he still thinks I am ugly and asks if I am pretty. Some people replaced me, what does he think of our general's mansion, and he can stand in a row and let him serve whoever he likes?"

Uncle Li was dubious, "Can the general's temper allow him to mess around?"

Hong Xiu was even more depressed when he heard it, "The general is so busy, how can I have time to look at him every day, and occasionally go to his place, he looks like I don't want to kick me out, I look so bad, but I don't care He's not someone who gossips behind his back, since the general asked me to take good care of him, I naturally have to take good care of him."

Uncle Li is getting older, and he thinks Hong Xiu and this young man are interesting, so he couldn't help laughing, Hong Xiu let out a sulking sound, and the two of them were speechless for a while, but they saw a black cat popping out of nowhere, whoosh He jumped up the wall and rushed into the wall of Jifu.Hong Xiu stared at the place where the cat slipped in, and was hesitating whether to catch it out, but saw Ye Jinglan running all the way over, stopped at the door and asked Hong Xiu and Uncle Li, "I wonder if you two saw a cat?" A black cat with white feet and a white belly?"

Hong Xiu didn't understand, so he pointed to the door, "Just went in."

"It was raised by my mother. I want to go in and look for it. I wonder if it can be convenient?" Uncle Li and Hong Xiu naturally knew Ye Jinglan, the young master of the Ye family who lived as a close neighbor, but they didn't expect him to be so dignified. General Anguo, the third rank, was very polite to the two of them.

Uncle Li nodded, "OK."

Hong Xiu shook his head, "No."

The words came out at the same time, and the two looked at each other.

Uncle Li shook his head, "No."

Hong Xiu continued to shake his head, "No."

At this time, Ji Canghai also came back from the palace, because he was told by the censor yesterday that he did not ride a horse today, so when he walked to the door of his house, Ye Jinglan, who was going to court at the same time, had already gone home to change his clothes and drink. After drinking a cup of hot tea, I went out to look for the cat.Seeing Ji Canghai's return, Ye Jinglan saluted him first, and Ji Canghai cupped his fists in return, although he had doubts in his eyes, but still looked paralyzed, "I don't know what General Xiaoye is doing at the gate of my house?"

"My mother's cat ran into your place. I was chasing the cat. I was just about to ask if I could go in and look for it. The animal recognizes people, and the breed is expensive. It is difficult for strangers not to hurt it. catch."

Ji Canghai nodded when he heard the words, "Then General Xiaoye will just go in and look for it, and I have to go out of the city, so I won't accompany you."

Ye Jinglan smiled, "Then I'm bothering you." After speaking, she didn't see the meaning of bothering others at all, and walked in as carelessly as she walked into her own gate, looked left and right, chose a random side, and disappeared in the sight of the three people .

Hong Xiu looked at Ji Canghai suspiciously, "General, let him in like this?"

Ji Canghai looked at Hong Xiu, "What else?"

Hong Xiu muttered, "He's full of shit, who knows why he insisted on entering our house, maybe he drove the cat in by himself."

Ji Canghai ordered Uncle Li to bring him and Hong Xiu's horse, and then he answered Hong Xiu's words, "There is nothing shameful in my house, no matter what he wants to do when he goes in, let him go."

"That's not going to work," Hong Xiu said anxiously, "General, you forgot that during the spring hunting this year, Ye Jinglan got a pretty good mare from somewhere, and kept teasing Mie Jing with that filly, making me laugh Mie Jing's nose is about to spit fire, he's a bad guy!"

Ji Canghai stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes were flat, "Three years ago, the Shuobei Army did not issue a letter of war to raid Liangshan. I had no soldiers or food in my hands. Two thousand soldiers and horses struggled to support them. If you are good at mobilizing troops and horses to help, who will lead the troops to rush thousands of miles to rescue them without sleep?"

Hong Xiu's voice was three points lower than usual, "General Xiaoye." After Hong Xiu finished speaking, he hurriedly explained, "I know General Xiaoye is a good person, but he usually likes to tease people the most. Who knows why he ran in? Well."

Ji Canghai raised his eyes to look at Uncle Li. Uncle Li had already pulled out their horses, handed over the reins to them, and stepped aside.Ji Canghai got on his horse, looked inside the gate, said that he had a sense of propriety, and without waiting for Hong Xiu, he rode away first, and Hong Xiu yelled to wait for me, and hurriedly followed.

Ye Huizhi was lying on the bed bored, with some books piled up in a mess, Ji Canghai's mansion was full of military books, he was almost bored to death, only teasing Hong Xiu every day was interesting.Just as he was staring blankly at the curtain, he saw a black cat nimbly jumping up to him, Ye Hui subconsciously caught it with one hand, and frowned because of the pain in his ribs.

"Why doesn't it hurt you to death?" Ye Jinglan came in from the door, she didn't look like she was in a good mood.

Ye Huizhi quietly hid in the bed, with an apologetic smile on his face, "Brother, how do you know I'm here?"

Ye Jinglan went to Ye Huizhi's bed and sat down, raised his hand and pulled his ear, "You still dare to ask? The inn said you haven't been back for a few days, and I sent people to look for you. I played a book by Ji Canghai that said he hurt people with his horse, I didn't know that you had such a stupid idea for walking on this street every day."

Ye Huizhi stretched out his hand to free his ear, and explained with an apologetic smile, "It wasn't originally planned like this, it was all an accident."

"If you really want to come to Ji Canghai, I'll let him know. Do you need this?"

"I don't want people to know that I'm your brother."

Ye Jinglan finally showed a smile on his face after hearing Ye Huizhi's words, "The second son has grown up, don't you want to rely on my reputation?"

Ye Huizhi looked at his elder brother sincerely, "Brother, I was afraid that you would commit too many crimes in the army, and they would all take revenge on me."

Ye Jinglan nodded after listening, and patted Ye Huizhi's ribs vigorously. Ye Huizhi screamed in pain, and the black cat that was nestled next to him lazily looked up at Ye Jinglan, but couldn't understand. The group went back.Ye Huizhi stroked the black cat's fur, "Taishang Laojun, it's better for you to treat me better." After speaking, he glared at Ye Jinglan again, "You can help me raise it, even if it loses a hair."

Ye Jinglan looked at the Taishang Laojun who raised his paw to wash his face, and felt that he could no longer face the mythical figure properly.

Ye Jinglan couldn't stay for a long time, after listening to Ye Huizhi talk about the current situation, he told him to take the Taishang Laojun and leave after listening to his injuries. Ye Huizhi lay back on the bed and continued to stare at the curtain in a daze, thinking about how to successfully join the season. Long Xiangwei of Canghai, Long Xiangwei lives in the general's mansion, but ordinary soldiers have to live in the outskirts of the military camp, he doesn't want to live there, there is no single room there, and there are no five big and three rough but take good care of his little girl.

Although Nanming had just won a big victory over Shuobei Kingdom, there would be no wars in the near future, but Ji Canghai, who was strict in governing the army, did not slack off in the slightest. The [-] loyal troops were stationed in the imperial city, and it was a heavy responsibility to take this job.After inspecting the garrison as usual, Ji Canghai stood at the side of the martial arts field to watch the ordinary soldiers practice. After a while, his Long Xiangwei would select soldiers from here, so the soldiers practiced very hard.Ji Canghai remembered that there was someone in the mansion eagerly begging him to leave his injury behind, and asked Xuan Ye beside him, "How is the investigation of Ji Jiu's matter?"

Xuan Ye is a young man who is not tall but very strong, and his demeanor is calm and agile, "Return to the general, I have already checked with Mr. Zhang. Most of the lost people reported in Cheng'an City are children. There are very few young men. Only A few of them don't match Ji Jiu's characteristics."

Ji Canghai nodded, and didn't say anything more, but Hong Xiu couldn't help asking, "Why only check Chengan, what if he came from another place?"

Ji Canghai looked at Xuan Ye, and Xuan Ye said, "Brother Hong, which foreigner do you see who can speak such nice Mandarin?"

Hong Xiu nodded very seriously, "Well, it makes sense."
