The Great General and His Little Scholars

In the general's mansion, Sima Jiangtong and Liao Mingsi walked out of the yard.Because of the reconstruction and construction of Liao Mingli's courtyard, horse-drawn carriages cannot come in, and they have to go to the stable to ride.

Liao Mingli's yard was bustling with activity, and the whole yard had to be rebuilt. In order to be worthy of the status of the eldest princess, He Qing changed all the empty yards around Liao Mingli together, and rebuilt the main house.

Sima Jiangtong was a little puzzled and said: "After the eldest princess becomes an adult, won't she have her own mansion? According to the etiquette system, the emperor will also reward the second elder brother with a mansion as a son-in-law's mansion. But why insist on living in the general's mansion? "

Liao Mingsi said indifferently: "The eldest princess has always been stubborn and weird, but the general's mansion is cramped, she is not used to living in it, and she will probably go back to the princess mansion in a few days."

"Since we're here, we definitely won't go back." Sima Jiangtong looked sideways at Liao Mingsi, and said teasingly, "No matter how bad the General's Mansion is, isn't there a brother? Since she came in with great difficulty, how could she get out so easily. "

Liao Mingsi turned his head to look at Jiang Tong's bright eyes, and said with a grin, "Are you jealous?"

"Who's jealous." Jiang Tong pouted, and realized that he was outside, and hurriedly restrained his expression, "However, it would still be a little embarrassing to think of living so close."

"If you feel uncomfortable living here, after the Chinese New Year, we will move to my house."

The joyful expression in Sima Jiangtong's eyes was fleeting, and he sighed and said, "I didn't have a home in the capital, and it didn't matter if I lived with my elder brother. But now that my elder brother has come, the emperor gave me the favor to make it into the old palace of the palace." Also. If I still live with my brother, it may not be appropriate."

Liao Mingsi seemed to be stunned by this, frowned and said: "The son is here, I only thought of having a like-minded friend, but I didn't expect this level."

After thinking about it, he said firmly: "It seems that we must find a reason immediately, so that the emperor can give us a decree to marry us, that would be the best."

Sima Jiangtong felt sweet when he heard this, and said, "Has brother thought about this too?"

"Of course, I've been thinking about it since the day I saw you again." Liao Mingsi sighed and said, "It would be great if you came earlier, last time the border city won a big victory, I can make this request to the emperor .”

"However, looking at the current situation, Chaman will send troops sooner or later. When I come back from Chaman, I will report our affairs to the emperor truthfully. I don't need any rewards, as long as I can be with you in a legitimate way."

Sima Jiangtong looked at Liao Mingsi worriedly and said, "Brother, are you sure you're going to check it out?"

Liao Mingsi smiled: "Are you worried that I won't be able to win?"

"I'm worried about my brother, so far away, and a battlefield..." Sima Jiangtong said softly, "And when I think of the days when my brother was not by my side, I don't know how to endure it."

"Just wait for my victory report at the Imperial Academy." Liao Mingsi said, putting his hands on Sima Jiangtong's shoulders and hugging him: "Just remember, when the victory reports pile up, I will come back with you." Marriage day."

"Haha, pretend to be big, how many battles do you want to fight, from the beginning to the end of the year? There are piles of good news." Sima Jiangtong smiled and stretched out his hand to hit Liao Mingsi on the chest, and Liao Mingsi took the opportunity to grab his hand , refused to let go.

Suddenly, Sima Jiangtong froze with a smile, and struggled to take out his hand.Standing in awe and bowing his head, he said, "Ma'am."

It was only then that Liao Mingsi noticed that on the way ahead, He Qing was walking over surrounded by maids and servants, with Aunt Zhu at his side.

Liao Mingsi didn't panic, he saluted He Qing naturally: "Mother, is this the yard for Mingli?"

"Well, go and see the progress of the construction." He Qing looked at Liao Mingsi and Jiang Tong with a complex expression, and his eyes stopped on Jiang Tong for a moment.

Liao Mingsi kept He Qing's gaze away with his body, and said, "Mother, pay more attention to your health. There are a lot of things at home recently, so don't overwork yourself."

He Qing stared at Liao Mingsi, and said clearly: "It's okay to work hard for your mother, but it's just that this mental work makes me more tired."

At this time, Aunt Zhu, who was following beside her, rolled her eyes on Liao Mingsi and Jiang Tong, and said in a shrill voice pretending to be courteous: "Hehe, Ma'am, you don't need to worry about it. Wait until Mingsi gets married by himself." Daughter-in-law, Madam is really busy."

"Everyone thinks that Princess Daoist likes Mingsi. How could she ever think that she actually fell in love with my family, Mingli? Could it be that Mingsi has another sweetheart? Young Master Biao and Mingsi are together every day, so they must know who that girl is." Bar."

He Qing could naturally hear Aunt Zhu's voice-over, and looked embarrassed.He said to Liao Mingsi with some displeasure: "Anyway, it's going to be under construction, so I want to take a break from your yard. You can live in the lower house first, and then move back after the main house is repaired."

"Ah?" Liao Mingsi said without thinking, "There is only one servant room, and it's very small. How can Jiang Tong and I live together?"

He Qing gave Liao Mingsi a complaining look and said, "The old house in Fucheng Palace has been renovated, and Jingxuan moved in yesterday. Naturally, Jiang Tong will live with his elder brother, and he will always stay with you." Is it in that small courtyard?"

Hearing what He Qing said, Liao Mingsi immediately understood in his heart that he wanted to separate him from Jiang Tong, and couldn't help feeling a little unhappy.

He Qing said again: "Furthermore, what Aunt Zhu said is right, you have all reached the age of marriage, you can't say that this year and next year, the young mistress will come in, can you always live in one place?"

After finishing speaking, he looked at Jiang Tong and said, "Don't you have a girl who is engaged in Tanzhou? Now that she has been a Jinshi in high school and worshiped Hanlin, marriage must be on the agenda. The projects in Mingsi's yard are these few days. The day will begin, you should inform Jingxuan and ask him to call someone to help you move things."

Jiang Tong's face turned red, as if he was smart, he could already hear the meaning behind what everyone said.He Qing said it so clearly, Jiang Tong was embarrassed for a while and didn't know how to answer.

Liao Mingsi's complexion darkened, and he said to He Qing in a cold voice: "Mother doesn't have to worry about the matter between me and Tong. We also have our own plans for marriage and marriage. When the time is right, we will naturally report to mother."

"In fact, I didn't plan to live in the mansion for a long time. In autumn, the private house rewarded by the emperor was already renovated. I wanted to spend the new year with my parents before moving out. Since my mother wanted to renovate the whole yard To welcome the eldest princess, I will move there ahead of time."

"As for Tong, we have lived together for so long, his luggage has been mixed with mine, and it is not easy to separate. I will move to a private house with me first. When the weather is warmer, I may go to check Man, it is not too late for him to return to Fucheng Palace."

He Qing frowned, and said in surprise: "What did you say? You want to send troops to check everything? Did the emperor order it?"

"The son asked for his own life." Liao Mingsi said: "When the country is in trouble, everyone is responsible. How can the Liao family sit idly by when the Russian captives are ferocious."

He Qing didn't expect Liao Mingsi to mention the matter of dispatching troops. After all, he was his mother, and the battlefield was a matter of life and death. He Qing couldn't care about anything else for a while.When he was about to ask again, Liao Mingsi cupped his hands and said, "Son and Tong still have court matters, please forgive us for going ahead."

After finishing speaking, he pulled Jiang Tong and left straight away. Jiang Tong saluted in a panic, but he was dragged away without doing well.

He Qing stood there dumbfounded, with a complex expression on his face.Aunt Sun curled her lips quietly, and said in a charming voice: "Ma'am, I'm not talking too much. The rumors about Mr. Ming and Mr. Biao have become very popular in the capital recently..."

As if awakened by Aunt Sun's words, He Qing's face darkened, and he glared at her and said, "If it wasn't for these nonsense, do you think the eldest princess's wedding would be the Mingli's turn? If you take advantage, don't act like a good boy." .”

After saying that, he raised his head and turned around and said, "Don't go to Mingli's courtyard anymore, Aunt Sun, you can say hello yourself." She went straight back.

Aunt Sun was left hanging on the spot, very embarrassed. Looking at the back of He Qing walking away, she couldn't help but spit secretly, and said in a low voice: "It's true that the upper beam is not right and the lower beam is crooked. What kind of mother is there? son!"

In the carriage, Liao Mingsi saw that Jiang Tong was silent and looking out the window, looking very preoccupied.She reached out to touch his shoulder and said, "Don't take what mother said just now."

Jiang Tong turned his head, his eyes were as deep as water: "Madam is so kind to me, I don't care what she says. What I care about is..." Jiang Tong said, his eyes suddenly turned red.

"Looking at Madam's expression just now, I really felt how I would feel if you really wanted to go to the battlefield."

Speaking of which, Jiang Tong reached out and grabbed Liao Mingsi's sleeve: "Brother, I don't want a title, I don't care what others say, just follow you like this. Isn't the Russian captive supported by King Zhao and his confidant Li Chengwu? Let them deal with a mess of their own making, please don't go."

Liao Mingsi didn't expect Jiang Tong to be thinking about his own safety in the situation just now.For a Jinbang Jinshi who has been familiar with sage books since childhood, he will not be without the secular threshold in his heart.

But for himself, he said these words, Liao Mingsi couldn't help feeling a warm current in his heart, sour and sweet.

"You, how can you be so stupid with such a smart head that can be a Jinshi in high school." Liao Mingsi said distressedly: "What's so good about me, let you miss me so much. Don't worry about me, I have you in this life, in order to be with you Together. Even if I go through fire and water, I will not hesitate."

"I know." Jiang Tong grasped Liao Mingsi's lapel, his slender fingers clenched tightly, the knuckles were a little white, it seemed that Liao Mingsi would disappear if he let go.

"Because I know that my brother will do this, I can't let my brother do it. I said earlier that if I have to go through fire and water, I will go. If my brother wants to guard the general and his wife and the general's mansion for me, it will be considered as my repayment." .”

"Fool..." Liao Mingsi turned his head and kissed Jiang Tong's forehead: "With me here, no one will go through fire and water, trust me."

"No, brother, you...you don't know..." Jiang Tong bit his lips: "I have something that I have been keeping from you."
