major general

After returning to Jinlin, Fu Xiaoyu went to the palace to report on his duties, and Wen Le also changed into the clothes that accompanied him and went to Zhou Chong's place.

His Highness Ninth Prince's residence was as quiet as usual, and Wen Le found Zhou Chong in the house.

Zhou Chong usually likes to wear dark clothes, but today he changed into beige clothes uncharacteristically, which makes people more energetic.

After all the people in the room had left, Wen Le sat up and said: "Zhuang He and Wang Hu have already started to restrain their troops, and they have also explained what they have to say."

Zhou Chong nodded, groped under the table in front of him for a while, sat on the ground with Wen Le, and threw the objects in his hands to him.

Wen Le looked at it, it was a broken jade tablet, there was some dry red in the jade tablet, like blood, the color was too light, and it smelled fishy.

"This is?"

Zhou Chong briefly described the situation on the day of the sacrificial ceremony, picked up the jade tablet, and said, "At that time, there was a war on the south bank, and the emperor called the ministers to return to the court, so he didn't care about this side."

Wen Le frowned and asked, "What about the stargazing master who was the first to make a sound?"

Zhou Chong said: "The man is dead, hanged himself, and the body was sent to Guanxing Garden."

"Guan Xingyuan? Why not Dali Temple, the Ministry of Punishment should also intervene?"

"The stargazers are all personally selected by the stargazing garden. They have severed ties with their families and only hold stargazing sacrifices. It's like selling a body deed to the royal family. After death, the corpse will also return to the stargazing garden." Zhou Chong took it from the table. A plate of candied glutinous rice cakes came down, and said, "Chuan'er went to Guanxingyuan to see, and said that the body had been cremated, and there was no residue left."

When Wen Le came back, he didn't even enter the Zhenguo Mansion, he was starving to death, and he didn't care about the etiquette of the monarch and ministers, so he took the candy pancakes and ate them.

The sugar shreds on the outside are frozen and crisp, and the glutinous rice balls inside have been deep-fried and smell delicious.

"You said that the crown prince gave you the job?"

"Correct."

The two looked at each other, and the unfinished words were finished in each other's eyes.

The situation was really urgent that day, even thinking about it now, Zhou Chong still felt scared for a while.

He suddenly felt tired, opened the hem of his clothes, lay down on the thick carpet, looked at the glazed roof of the ceiling, and said: "After saying that the war on the South Bank was tense, in addition to the ministers, the prince and I also had a few other princes of the right age. They also went to the important place of the military plane together. Do you know how this jade tablet was hidden?"

Wen Le thought for a while and said, "Give it to Yan Zhou?"

"Chuan'er is an eunuch, so he can't enter the Guanxing Garden. There is no one else in the court except Jiang Yu who has this honor."

"Who is that?"

Zhou Chong looked at Wen Le and said, "Someone you don't expect."

The jade tablet was in his hand, and there were only Old Master Yue and him on the sacrificial altar.

Everyone in the audience, including the star-gazing master who shouted "Calamity Star" to Zhou Chong, was there. If a person has two eyes, there are more than a hundred pairs of eyes present.

Zhou Chong's hands trembled slightly, watching the emperor in the distance call him over.

If he was allowed to see the jade tablet and ask about the breaking of the jade tablet, he would not be able to get away with it.

At this moment, Old Master Yue, who was next to him, took advantage of the kung fu of collecting the sacrificial texts to put away Zhou Chong's jade tablet and put it in his robe.

Literati's robes have large sleeves, and the bottom of the sleeves is sewn together, which is convenient for storing books, letter paper, etc.

The jade tablet was put into the big sleeve together with the sacrificial text.

"Your Highness, Eunuch Jiang is calling for you."

Zhou Chong glanced at Old Master Yue, and walked empty-handed in front of more than 30 star-gazing masters.

The star-watching master who called him the disaster star saw that he had nothing in his hand and nowhere to hide around him, frowned and looked in the direction of the prince. worship.

"Old Master Yue???" Wen Le was startled.

His reading companionship is quite unreliable, and there are very few times when he accompanied Zhou Chong to study in the past few years.

In his memory, Old Master Yue was still the old pedant with the long beard and white hair, who could have four or five allusions in a sentence, and whose communication depended entirely on guessing.

How can I hook up with him?

Seeing that Wen Le was as surprised as he was, Zhou Chong said, "If it wasn't for your relationship...Old Master Yue has been in the Imperial Academy all year round, and has a relationship with Fu Xiaoyu."

"Impossible." Wen Le shook his head and said, "He never asked..."

Never asked.

Bunle shut his mouth abruptly.

Just because it was never asked.

What kind of person is Fu Xiaoyu?

The story behind the title of prodigy, every child in Jinlin who goes to ethnology will be told by his master.

Wen Le and Zhou Chong have a good relationship, and anyone with a little heart can see that no matter what the Zhenguo Mansion is, at least Wen Le has become a wing of Zhou Chong.

He knew everything, but he didn't ask anything, he just followed his footsteps so quietly and indifferently.

If Old Master Yue's dark chess game was not used, Wen Le still feels that he and the Fu family are well protected. Unexpectedly, the opponent has already penetrated into the chess game, even more meticulously defended than him.

Come out from Zhou Chong's place and pass by the Imperial Garden.

When it was cold, all the flowers and plants withered away.The dry branches stretched straight to the sky, like a very hungry beggar asking for food.

Fearing that the emperor would be displeased, small lanterns and paper flowers were hung on the withered trees in the imperial garden. The faint candlelight revealed a hint of red, which was very beautiful.

"Major General?"

Wen Le came back to his senses, and the little eunuch leading the way looked at him suspiciously.

"what happened?"

"The servant is afraid that the major general will lose his mind. Some places in the imperial garden are full of water. If you don't pay attention to your boots, the water will get in. It is said that the cold starts from your feet. Even if it starts to warm up this day, you have to pay attention."

Wen Le responded, and followed the little eunuch.

Sure enough, Wen Le's boots got water in just the time it took to burn an incense stick.

When he came back from the south bank, he changed clothes with Fu Xiaoyu in the carriage and was about to enter the palace in a hurry.I forgot about the boots because they thought they were troublesome. The thin-soled boots were soaked in water and it was bitingly cold.

Almost at the front door, Wen Le saw Fu Xiaoyu.

Fu Xiaoyu also just came out of her job report, and Ma Cheng moved out the emperor's reward, while she was chatting with another courtier she was acquainted with.

He doesn't know martial arts, and these days he came back with Wen Le, he was extremely sleepy, but he still had to put on a mental appearance, so as not to be seen as a problem.

While talking, Fu Xiaoyu saw the courtier staring at her side with wide eyes, and when he turned his head, he was hugged violently.

Wen Le is no longer the little kid who only reaches his shoulders, he has grown a lot after going to the border, and now he is almost as tall as him.

When this one rushed over, Fu Xiaoyu felt like being hugged by a little tiger, fleshy and boneless.

The courtiers at the side looked at Wen Le, then at Fu Xiaoyu, and after confessing his crime with flushed faces, they walked out with hands and feet.

Why is the emperor bestowing a marriage? The in-law relationship is actually not good!

who said it!

Who spread the rumor!

Come out and die for me!

There were a lot of people coming in and out of the palace gate, including ministers of centralization of power, as well as little palace ladies and eunuchs, all of them looked at Fu Xiaoyu.

Fu Xiaoyu's face is comparable to a city wall, and she doesn't feel ashamed at all when people stare at her. Instead, she hugs people even tighter, with an expression of "I'm so happy now, whoever talks to me will be on my assassination list tonight".

When Wen Le calmed down, Fu Xiaoyu looked at his slightly red eyes, touched them with his fingers, and asked, "What's wrong? Are you wronged?"

Bunle, who shoots a small Japanese pirate, pursed his mouth and said, "The soles of the shoes are soaked in water, so it's very cold."

Fu Xiaoyu imitated his tone and said, "Yeah, it's cool, who told me to trouble you when I asked you to change into thick boots?"

Wen Le stopped talking, and buried his head on his shoulder again in a fit of anger, moaning.

Fu Xiaoyu laughed so hard that she could hardly see her eyes. She patted Wen Le's waist and said, "Then what is Lele going to do now? Do you want Madam to carry her into the carriage or carry her into the carriage?"

"Yo, Major General, what's the matter?"

"Injured? Can't hold it anymore? Could it be that group of bastards from Luzhou who are not good-looking, who are yelling at our little Miaomiao in Zhenguo Mansion?"

"What's the matter with you, can't it be the major general who is acting like a baby to Lord Jijiu?"

"Acting like a baby? Major general? Let your mother's stinky fart!"

As soon as the discussion was over, they saw Fu Xiaoyu hugging Wen Le, and the two walked towards the carriage outside the palace gate step by step like conjoined twins.

"..."

"Is the owner of the storybook in Cuiyulou still there? I think this is enough for him to write five or six books today."

After getting into the carriage, Fu Xiaoyu sat down and removed Wen Le's shoes and socks. After waiting for a long time, his toes were soaked white.

Fu Xiaoyu glared at Wen Le, and the instigator immediately looked at his nose and mouth, pretending that he didn't know anything.

The carriage rumbled home, Wen Le held the hand stove, put her feet into Fu Xiaoyu's arms to keep warm, and said, "By the way, let's go and see Che'er, we haven't seen her happy yet?"

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Fu Xiaoyu's reply, he raised his head and called Ma Cheng, "Ma Cheng, let's go to Nie's Mansion."

"Nie Mansion? The Major General wants to see Miss?"

"Yes, we have to take a look."

"Miss is returning to Fu's residence now."

"Why did you go back to Fu's house?" Wen Le frowned, and his words became cold, and said, "I heard that Nie Xun has several cousins. Madam Nie said before that she wanted to marry one of these collateral cousins. Two. Nie Xun bullied her because she was so eager to accept her when she was pregnant?"

Ma Cheng laughed, and said: "Hehe said that the miss is afraid that after giving birth to Lin'er, she will not be able to find time to go back to Fu's mansion to see the old lady, so she said that she will stay in Fu's mansion for a while when the fetus is stable, and also to avoid the old lady's death. Missing her, I went back to live in Fu's house."

Wen Le nodded, accepted the words, and then asked again: "Che'er has always been filial, but now that she is happy, she will go back to her mother's house...Nie Xun didn't say much, did he?"

Before Ma Cheng could reply, Fu Xiaoyu said, "Okay, go back to Fu's residence."

Wen Le's feet were still on Fu Xiaoyu's stomach, so he poked his navel with his toes and said, "I want to ask more questions!"

Fu Xiaoyu held his wobbly feet, put the thick boots and socks on the hand stove to bake, and said: "Just ask a few questions, there is no end."

Wen Le chuckled, causing Fu Xiaoyu to look at him and said, "What are you laughing at?"

Wen Le tilted his head and said, "Why did you say the same thing as my father?"

When Quan Qiao held Wen Le's hand, Wen Changzheng knocked down Wen Le's hand in the same way and said: "It's almost done, the holding is endless."

Very sour.

I don't know where the small vinegar jar was knocked over.

The author says:

Boss of Huaben: I'm tired, why don't you write it yourself.

Wen Le: Hello, I'm here to clean up your fourth sister, where do you put her now?
