king's concubine

Chapter 390 A Letter from Rushi
When Rong Huazheng and Yuwen Xiyan came in, they saw the soldiers putting these things on the table graciously.

Those things were still not hot, but they were still warm. Seeing the entanglement, Rong Huazheng couldn't help being greedy, and was slightly touched, "Brothers and sisters have worked hard, and you have prepared so many things."

"The general misunderstood, these things do not belong to our army." The simple and honest dark face of the soldier who was able to talk to Rong Huazheng was slightly flushed, "These were sent by the people nearby after you left, and they sent a lot at once. Things come, these wines are specially given to the generals and generals by the common people."

"Why do you just take things from the people!" Rong Huazheng frowned, and said in disapproval, "The people are also in a difficult situation. We took their things and they may be hungry during the New Year." So many things are not just one or two buns. It's a small matter, and it wouldn't be nice to end up with the name of military corruption and bribery.

The soldier was stunned for a moment, and just about to say something, Qin Shuying stepped in and said first, "The subordinates asked the brothers to accept these things."

Rong Huazheng's complexion became even worse. Hearing this, he frowned and said, "Vice General Qin, you have been in the army for so long anyway, why did you do such a thing?" Isn't this breaking the law knowingly?
Qin Shuying smiled wryly and said: "The general doesn't know something. Everyone knows that our northwest frontier army is going back to Beijing. Every time we pass by a populated place, there are people waiting. When they see us, they rush up. They can't even stop us. No way. They refused to leave after taking their things, saying that this was their wish, to reward the brothers and generals in the army..."

"Girl, I really can't blame the brothers for this matter." General Qingli glanced sideways at Rong Huazheng, and said angrily: "If you want to blame it, blame you for being too popular. Old man, I haven't been treated like you since I was a general for decades. , the people are all coming for you!"

"Ah?" Dare she be the instigator?
"Pfft!" The young man on the side laughed, pulled Ronghua Zheng into a seat, and poured a few glasses of wine while saying, "Sister Zheng, to be honest, when I first came here to join the Northwest Army, I saw this situation too. Scared."

"...Really?" Rong Huazheng murmured, not knowing how to react.

"I couldn't have lied to you!" The kid, who didn't distinguish between young and old, rolled his eyes and said, "We'll start again in half an hour, and there's a bustling town a few miles away. The street is quite wide, and when you see it for yourself, you will know whether I have lied or not."

"Has the situation of the common people sending food been happening all this time?" Rong Huazheng asked General Qingli.

"Since we left the mountain trails and came to places where there are people, they will appear."

"This atmosphere is not very good, and I think it will affect the reputation of our Northwest Army." Rong Huazheng said seriously: "Although they are all from our Daying army, there is still a rift between the army and the army. If someone else joins us One book, isn't that..."

Yuwen Xiyan interrupted Ronghua Zheng's words, "Okay, okay, sister Zheng, don't worry too much, who are you, why worry about such little tricks, winning people's hearts is a good thing, only people who don't have enough people will do it Little hands and feet. Besides, we are all starving, what rules are not in order, let’s put it aside for now, eat first, don’t you want to have a drink with the general?”

"But..." Rong Huazheng still had concerns in her heart, she was afraid that she would make it difficult for Yu Wencan to do something special.

"Sister Zheng, you really don't need to worry about it. If something happens, I will take care of it for you. I can't stand it, isn't there brother Can? Can brother Can still make you feel wronged?" Yuwen Xiyan glanced at Glancing at Ronghua Zheng, he said in a very angry manner, and by the way, invited General Qingli to take a seat. Seeing that Ronghua Zheng still had something to say, he quickly brought a glass of wine to Ronghua Zheng: "Sister Zheng, drink and drink." After finishing speaking, Qin Shuying was asked to sit down and have a meal with them. Qin Shuying repeatedly refused, saying that he had already eaten and had something to do, so he had to leave first.

Yuwen Xiyan and General Qingli didn't know how long they had been hungry, and they ate violently as soon as they sat down. Seeing them like this, Rong Huazheng couldn't say anything more, so they ate together.

Halfway through the meal, General Qingli remembered that he wanted to have a drink with Rong Huazheng, raised his glass and said, "Girl, don't mind, the old man hasn't eaten since last night, he just made a big move, he's about to starve. Come on, let's drink now."

Rong Huazheng also picked up the wine glass, and said angrily: "Old man, why are you being so polite, besides, it's not good to drink on an empty stomach, if your stomach doesn't feel good, it's not me and the brothers who will suffer?"

"You girl, you don't have a good word!" General Qingli said feigning anger, after Rong Huazheng stretched out his wine glass to clink the wine glass with him, he raised his head and drank the burning knife in one breath.

"General, please don't blame me, I haven't said anything to make you worry!" Rong Huazheng snorted, took out two letters from her chest and asked her to hand them over to General Qingli, "here, this It's for you."

General Qingli glanced at the envelope, and there were four words 'Grandpa Qingli' written on it. He knew that word. He had also taught those two children how to learn calligraphy, and he could tell who wrote it at a glance. It suddenly lit up, and he was so happy that he reached for the letter while laughing, "Girl, did those two brats write this to me?"

Rong Huazheng's answer was a heavy snort, and he gritted his teeth to grind the tough beef in his mouth without even glancing at General Qingli.

The little boy Yuwen Xiyan hasn't seen his two younger siblings for a long time. When he heard that the letter was written by them, he immediately poked his head over to look at the words on the envelope curiously, and said in surprise: "The words are really well written, brother wrote Is it written by my sister?"

"You can write well even when you were a little bit older." Rong Huazheng was stuck in her heart, hearing nothing pleasing to her ears, and she still didn't forget to teach: "Stinky boy, didn't you say that you are an uncle, They are your nephews."

The little kid was sprayed with a gray nose, and touched the tip of his nose in a despondent way. From the corner of his eye, he saw that General Qingli had opened the letter, and decided to ignore the eccentric person for the time being. He leaned over to read the letter.

Rong Huazheng was so annoyed by the brat's action that he almost wanted to wring his ears off. He gritted his teeth and endured it for a long time. He drank a few glasses of burning knives again and again, letting the anger of the wine overwhelm his anger before he did so.

General Qing Li is not a very generous person. He has received a lot of letters in the army in his life, and there are few personal letters. Now he finally has two brats writing letters to him. How can he be willing to share them with others? .Pushing away Yuwen Xiyan's staring head, "Go, go, what are you looking at, little brat!"

"Grandpa Qingli, let me see it too!" Yuwen Xiyan did not give up, and looked at General Qingli with her beautiful eyes.

General Qingli didn't feel sorry for him at all, and snorted, "What is your name, grandpa? Your father and I are of the same generation!"

Rong Huazheng: "..."

Yuwen Xiyan: "..."

Yuwen Xiyan's nose turned ashamed, so she stopped rushing to see it, and looked at Rong Huazheng resentfully, "Sister Zheng, I want to see my brothers and sisters, can you take me back to the palace for a while?"

Ronghua Zheng bit the meat chopsticks, and lifted his lips coldly: "No!"

Yuwen Xiyan held Ronghua's kite like a child, and asked coquettishly, "Why?"

"No reason." Rong Huazheng pinched the face that was close to him hard, the pain caused him to yell and then smiled and narrowed his eyes.

"Sister Zheng, you abused me again!"

Rong Huazheng was not ashamed at all, and after a snort, he ate seriously.

In fact, when the little kid said that, her heart was moved. She didn't want the child to suffer on the road, but she knew that she would not come back when she went back, so...

"Okay, Sister Zheng, I'm actually joking." Yuwen Xiyan said with a smile: "As a young general, how can I leave the army casually? Although I am young, I have a strong sense of the army." In fact, the most important reason It wasn't this, but he had just met Rong Huazheng, so he was willing to leave immediately.

"You're not from the Northwest Frontier." Rong Huazheng immediately saw through his excuses, thinking of something, and said, "How long have you been back this time?"

"A year and a half."

Rong Huazheng squinted her eyes, and stared at him firmly: "The first time you joined the army as a general took at least three years to leave, why did you come back this time?" And it took a year and a half to go back!

Normally, generals only go back to their hometown for about half a year, but he came here for a year and a half all at once, and there must be some people in the army who are not convinced.

Yuwen Xiyan didn't expect Rong Huazheng to ask such a question, and her eyes were a little dodgy, "I'm special!"

"What's so special about you? As a general, why do you have so many vacations?"

"I'm still young, and I still have a lot to learn in Kyoto!"

Rong Huazheng did not comment on this answer. She is a member of the army and naturally knows the rules of the army. Soldiers are different from others. Sometimes it may not be possible to go back for ten years. How long has it been since she has not seen the army for three years in the barracks? I have gone back on a large scale, but this time it seems that the four frontiers have received imperial orders and returned to Beijing.

Rong Huazheng turned his eyes and thought, "Is there something important to do in Kyoto?"

"Is there something important to do? What important event?" Yuwen Xiyan looked confused, "Didn't you just come back from the palace, sister Zheng? Don't you know what important event is?"

Rong Huazheng frowned, thinking that what he said was right, maybe he was thinking too much.While chatting here, General Qingli blushed with anger for some reason, picked up a cup of burning knife and raised his head to drink it, and then kept shouting: "The children of today are amazing, amazing!"

Rong Huazheng and Yuwen Xiyan were unclear, so Yuwen Xiyan blinked twice, "Grandpa Qingli, why are you so angry?"

Who knew that General Qingli just glanced at Yuwen Xiyan coldly, snorted coldly and noblely, ignored Yuwen Xiyan, filled a glass of wine and continued to drink.

Rong Huazheng raised his eyebrows, "General, what's the matter?"

"You stinky girl, don't talk to me." General Qing Li was about to explode with rage now.

The more General Qingli was like this, the more curious Yuwen Xiyan and Rong Huazheng became. They looked at each other, and then both thought of the letter the two children had sent to General Qingli.Yuwen Xiyan's eyes flashed, and when General Qingli raised his head to drink, he took the letter from General Qingli's hand with lightning speed.

General Qingli was furious, and raised his eyebrows and said: "Stinky boy, you are going to die! You still believe it!"

"Grandpa Qingli, let me have a look!" Curiosity is enough to kill a cat, Yuwen Xiyan saw that General Qingli was bearded and staring and wanted to come over with a gun, he tipped his toes suddenly, and floated lightly towards the door , it was too late for General Qingli to chase after him.

Rong Huazheng: "General, what did you write in the letter that made you so angry?" Someone wrote a letter thinking about it, if she didn't know how happy she would be!

"Hmph!" General Qingli's eyes were about to protrude when he mentioned the letter, "letter, what letter, eat, eat, it's meal time!"
