auspicious time has come

Chapter 138
Yin Hai immediately changed his words: "Ahem, what I mean by this subordinate is... just follow the plan and push the boat with the flow."

"What is pushing the boat with the current? What nonsense are you talking about?" Junjun Yan looked at Yin Hai disapprovingly, and said, "How can the general get married?"

At this moment, Xiao Mu only felt that he finally heard a fairly normal speech.

however--

"Families who are willing to recruit a son-in-law usually do not have a man to support the family, so they have to do it as a last resort. But the Ji family has a husband, and the official residence is the prince's family. How could the Ji family agree to let the general join him?" Yan Junshi analyzed seriously and objectively. road.

Xiao Mu: "..."

Therefore, the military division's so-called "how can I get married" was actually out of the Ji family's refusal to want him?

Did no one ask his wishes?
Xu Shi had a tacit understanding, and Yan Junshi put the focus of this matter on his own general in the next sentence.

"However—" Junshi Yan smiled kindly, and looked at Xiao Mu with a smile: "The solution is always figured out by people. If the general is determined to marry, the subordinates should discuss a good plan with the general."

For some reason, Xiao Hou, who had already decided to become a married man, quietly looked at the two subordinates in front of him who said "the subordinates are willing to make a living for the general's great cause of becoming a married man", and felt that he had never been so speechless in his life.

Xiaohou struggled to clean up his overly chaotic mood, and before Yin Hai spoke again, he said: "Young lady's family's reputation is important, don't bring this matter up again——"

Then, without giving Yin Hai a chance to speak, he drove them away: "Everyone go back."

Yin Hai smiled and cupped his hands: "Yes, this subordinate is resigning."

Master Yan also saluted with a smile on his face, and the two retreated together.

"Did the military master hear anything?" After descending the stone steps, the two walked unhurriedly, Yin Hai asked while turning the prayer beads.

Yan Junshi laughed heartily twice, and exchanged glances with Yin Hai, everything was kept silent.

Although they were joking just now, the general never refuted it clearly from the beginning to the end, let alone showing the slightest rejection. Even at the end, he just said "the reputation of the girl's family is important"——

Such an attitude has never been preceded by a general!
"It's not just about getting rid of the poison..." Yan Junshi said with emotion.

"So, the military commander doesn't have to worry about it anymore." Yin Hai said with a smile: "It doesn't matter whether it is a calamity or a fate, everything is unpredictable, and everything can be done according to one's heart."

In the long corridor not far ahead, Doctor Bai was walking slowly with his sleeves on, and was talking to Yan Ming: "... Lost the sense of taste?"

"Yes, except for the very strong and stimulating spirits, there is almost no taste at all."

Doctor Bai asked again: "Have you ever experienced trauma, or eaten anything that is detrimental to your sense of taste?"

"Yes, it's just..." Yan Ming paused for a moment before saying, "It's just that before that, there was an accident in which he lost all his family members, and he went through several twists and turns."

"Tsk, is it so miserable..." Doctor Bai looked at him, "Who is this friend you mentioned?"

"An old friend..." Yan Ming blurted out, and said again: "Over the years, I have read many medical books and tried many methods, but none of them can help him recover his sense of taste."

"Your master and I don't have any good solutions for this kind of illness." Divine doctor Bai said: "This is probably a heart disease..."

"Heart disease?"

"Well, if your good friend can untie the knot in his heart one day, it will naturally heal without medicine."

Yan Ming's eyes revealed a thoughtful look.

……

In the warm room, Xiao Mu sat alone, drinking tea quietly.

He had just detoxified and could not drink strong tea, but the pot of tea at hand was strictly ordered.

The tea soup is very light at the entrance, with a slightly sweet aftertaste.

Xiao Mu tasted the tea, looking down at the slightly brown tea soup in the cup - it should be boiled with perilla leaves and tangerine peel.

After a while, he drank a cup of tea, put down the cup, got up and left the warm room.

The boy guarding outside hurriedly followed.

There is no sign of the moon on New Year's Eve, only stars are bright and dense in the night sky, and the smell of firecrackers and fireworks remains in the air. This long-lasting smell of fireworks seems to dispel the winter chill.

Xiao Mu slowed down and felt all this, only to feel that the five senses had never been so clear for a long time.

He looked around where the new lights were hung, and a voice sounded in his mind——It's the New Year's Eve.

Naturally, he didn't realize that it was the New Year's Eve at this moment, but he really hadn't seen this kind of festive mood for a long time.

In the courtyard, the tall and straight young man smiled at the corner of his mouth, sniffing the festive fireworks, and looked up at the night sky.

There is no moon on New Year's Eve.

But a bright moon rose from the bottom of his heart, flawless and flawless, its brilliance was everywhere.

Xiao Mu stood silently for a long time.

"Master Hou, it's time for you to go back and rest." Sensing that Master Hou was in a good mood, the servant bravely reminded him.

"Well, let's go back." Xiao Mu regained his senses and walked forward.

Approaching the front of the courtyard, Wang Jingyong came quickly, stepped forward and saluted: "General."

"It's done?" Xiao Mu didn't stop.

"Yes." Wang Jingyong followed him, and reported as he walked, "When we entered the house, after the diners in the Linjiang Tower had left, our subordinates ordered people to take down all the people in the building. In Xiyuan, another man has been reserved to search the secret passages and darkrooms in the Linjiang Building carefully."

"Well, there is no need to cover up the follow-up of this matter—" Xiao Mu said, "Disclose it to them along with the news of my safe return home."

Wang Jingyong complied.

……

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Hengyu slept until the afternoon Shenshi, but when she woke up, she felt sore all over, especially her two arms could hardly be lifted.

She thought, she must be tired from dragging the unconscious Xiao Mu to the cave in the mountains.

He couldn't care less about relaxing while he was tense, and now he had no more worries and slept recklessly, so his body finally dared to feel at ease and become delicate.

Heng Yu stretched her waist, got out of bed and washed.

"Girl, Mrs. Xiao sent this over early in the morning. These are from Lord Hou."

When Hengyu was sitting at the dressing table and combing Cuihuai's hair, Jiji carried several boxes and opened them for Hengyu to see.

Mrs. Xiao sent brand-new dresses, loops, jewels, beaded flowers, rouge and gouache, all of which were available, and the doting feelings for the little girls overflowed from the exquisite boxes.

As for what Xiao Mu sent over——

After opening a box with a red blessing on it, the golden color was particularly eye-catching, and I saw that the box was full of gold.

Cui Huai was almost stunned: "Master Hou...does this mean giving the girl lucky money?"

In contrast, Jiji seemed much calmer: "Last time on the girl's birthday, the Marquis gave a silver ticket. This time, maybe it was for celebrating the New Year, so I gave him gold instead?"

Heng Yu reached out to grab the gold in the box, and sighed: "Master Hou, this uncle can recognize it, and he will give it away in real gold and silver every year and festival..."

But this gold is neither ingots nor gold leaves, but——

Hengyu took it into his hand and took a closer look, only to see that it was actually a small and lovely "golden rabbit".

The two girls also saw clearly, Cuihuai smiled and said: "It just so happens that the girl is a rabbit, it's a coincidence."

Jiji looked at Cuihuai in astonishment—what kind of "coincidence" does this seem?Clearly it took a lot of thought!

Sure enough, the little girl who is not enlightened is dull.

For the first time, Jiji, who is engaged, has a high IQ in front of Cuihuai.

Heng Yu gently poked the smooth and round golden rabbit in his palm with his finger, a slight dimple appeared on his cheek.

"By the way, Master Hou also sent this." Jiji picked up a porcelain bottle on the table.

"What is this?" Heng Yu asked.

"It is said that applying it every day can eliminate frostbite without leaving scars."

Heng Yu: "..."

Chilblains again.

The scene of being teased by that fellow for having chilblains last night was still in front of her eyes, so she couldn't tell whether the other party was out of concern or taking the opportunity to make fun of it.

It can be seen from this that one should really not be too indebted, otherwise doing good deeds will be misunderstood.

"Girl, do you want your servant to paint it for you?"

Hengyu counted the three or four frostbite marks on his face in the mirror, nodded, and obediently raised his face towards Jiji.

"Is Mrs. Heng ready?" Jiang Meiguan came in from the outside, dressed quite flamboyantly, with exquisite and gorgeous flowers on his forehead.

Mrs. Xiao sent someone to pass the word early in the morning that the Hou Mansion will hold a banquet in the dining hall in the evening and invite her and Heng Yu to go there together.

"I didn't see your shadow all day yesterday... Today is the first day of the new year, so I have to be careful about everything." Jiang Meiguan came forward to choose jewelry for Hengyu: "This is good, Dongzhu suits you best Already! Take this Yingluo to match..."

Hearing Jiang's matchmaker chattering in his ear, Heng Yu didn't feel impatient, but began to carefully select together.

There is no girl at this age who does not love beauty, and when she is in a good mood, she will be interested in trivial matters.

When Hengyu and Jiang Meiguan came to the dining hall, the hall was already very lively.

Yin Haiyan's military commander, Wang Jingyong, and the others were all there, Master Bai An took the seat, and Mr. Su's family was also invited. Everyone was talking, and the atmosphere was casual and harmonious.

Xiao Mu, who had been bedridden all day, also came over, looking much better.

Seeing Hengyu coming in, he raised his eyes to look over, when the four eyes met, Xiao Hou looked away uncomfortably, and picked up the teacup on the side.

Seeing this, Heng Yu let out a soft "hiss" from the bottom of her heart - she must have known the wild words she tore off in front of Divine Doctor Bai that day...!
She was a little guilty at first, but after she sat down, she met his gaze many times, and saw that his reaction was rather unnatural, but she insisted on not letting others see the strangeness——as the saying goes, bullying the weak and fearing the hard will is human nature, so Under the circumstances, Hengyu put away his cowardly heart instead, and felt a bit of wit in it.

After a few glasses of wine entered my stomach, I simply held my chin to appreciate it.

Amidst the noise, from the corner of the eye, I saw the girl who was wearing exquisite and beautiful jewelry tonight, her pink cheeks were slightly drunk, and she looked over with a slight smile. Xiao Hou sat upright and didn't dare to look sideways.

"Okay, okay!" Yin Hai smiled and clapped his hands.

Xiao Mu's gaze swept away like a sword.

"Well played, well played..." Yin Hai nodded in praise to the musician playing the piano, as if he hadn't noticed his general's death gaze.

Cough, I'm suspicious.

Xiao Mu silently retracted his gaze.

The atmosphere in Dingbeihou's Mansion is pleasant, but in the Governor's Mansion in Yingzhou City, the atmosphere at this moment is particularly anxious.

"What? Dingbeihou is really not dead?"

In the inner study, the two members of the Pei family frowned in disappointment when they heard the news that Xiao Mu was still alive.
