Rebirth of a Star General

In the Yunyun Building, there is no liveliness of the crowd many years ago. Cailian explained with a smile that after Mother Ding passed away, many girls in the Yunyun Tower left. Marry, marry, go home. Cailian didn't find any other girls to come in, and there was no shortage of flower buildings in the city. After Hua Youxian went to Yangzhou, the business of entering Yunlou was not as good as before. As soon as the girls left, it was almost impossible.

"There's nothing wrong with it. Usually, everyone will do other rouge and gouache businesses to make some money. It's enough to make do with it." Cailian smiled and said, "It's just that the sisters have nowhere else to go. The building was built by my mother, which is the home of the sisters."

People should have a heart of contentment, and they are doing fine now.

Hua Youxian asked everyone to sit down in the banquet hall, and first ordered people to arrange the wine and dishes, while asking Yan He and them: "What are the young masters doing now?"

A few years have passed, and the teenagers have grown into young people, and they no longer have the youthful attitude of the past, but it can be seen that each experience is extraordinary.

"I'm a doctor now," Lin Shuanghe shook his folding fan and said solemnly, "But he only treats women, and thanks to the love of the world, he has earned the nickname 'The Holy Hand in White', and I'm very ashamed."

He Yan looked at Lin Shuanghe in amazement. Although Lin Shuanghe was usually open-mouthed, it was the first time since the reunion that he saw him show himself.

Mostly, in front of the people whom you admired when you were young, you always want to behave better.

"This one is even more powerful," he pointed at Yan He with his fan, "General Guide Zhonglang, General Yan."

Cai Lian was extremely surprised, "The young masters are so powerful now!"

Yan He felt a little uncomfortable for no apparent reason. He touched his ponytail and hummed, "Not as powerful as General Feng Yun."

"General Feng Yun?" Hua Youxian was stunned for a moment, followed Yan He's gaze, and saw Xiao Jue drinking tea calmly, "Master Xiao... Is this the current General Feng Yun?"

Lin Shuanghe: "Exactly."

Hua Youxian and Cailian gasped at the same time. Back then, the group of teenagers reported themselves, but this one and one of the masked teenagers never spoke. At that time, everyone thought that either their identities were too precious to be revealed, or their identities were mediocre and not worth mentioning. It's just that Hua Youxian felt that, in terms of the outstanding appearance and demeanor of the white-robed boy, it should be the first.

Now after so many years, I never expected that he is the famous right army commander in Great Wei.

"This one is even more coincidental," Lin Shuanghe pointed to Yang Mingzhi, and said in a joke, "Now your governor of Jinling City is this Lord Yang."

Yang Mingzhi moved his lips, but he still didn't say anything.

Huayouxian and Cailian didn't know the origin of the relationship, but they were very happy and said, "It seems that Young Master Yang and Jinling City are really related, it's really a coincidence!"

"It's not." Lin Shuanghe snorted, "What a coincidence."

"These two young masters look a little surprised," Hua Youxian looked at He Yan and Chu Zhao, and said suspiciously.

"It's the first time for the two of them to come to Jinling," Lin Shuanghe explained, "This is Chu, you can call him Young Master Chu. Well, this one is a good friend from the next, and at a young age, His Majesty's pro-Wu'an was proclaimed. Lang, who is also the subordinate of Governor Xiao, is called He Yan."

"Young Master Chu, Young Master He." Hua Youxian smiled and saluted, "Since this is the first time you come to Jinling, you must try the wine and food in Yunlou."

As soon as these words came out, Lin Shuanghe's eyes lit up, "Miss Youxian, is the cook in the Yunyun Tower still the same person?"

Hua Youxian nodded with a smile: "The sisters in the building made the food and drinks themselves. It's exactly the same as before. If the young masters like it, everyone will be very happy."

He Yan still remembers that the wine and food in the Yunyun Restaurant are really unique, completely different from the ones in the Shuojing Restaurant. Later, when she returned to Shuojing, the He family never treated her food and clothing badly, but she never tasted the same delicacies as those in the Yunyun Tower.

During the greeting, not long after, someone brought wine and food to the long table. They are all home-cooked dishes, such as duck oil crisp biscuits, plum cakes, small wontons, red bean yuanxiao, lard dumplings... golden and fragrant. After arriving in Jinling in the afternoon, He Yan had never eaten, and He Yan was already hungry. Seeing that everyone only cared about talking, endured it, and finally couldn't help it. He silently raised his chopsticks, held the smoked fish silver noodles in front of him, and ate it in small bites.

The silver silk noodles are thin and soft, and they melt in the mouth when they are boiled, and the hot stomach will pull out all the greedy worms in the stomach. Seeing that no one was paying attention, He Yan took another crystal bun.

Lin Shuanghe was talking to Hua Youxian about the interesting stories of the past few years, and where did the teenagers who came to the Xianchang Pavilion together went to each other. He Yan listened without delaying his meal. He kept his hands and grabbed a piece of flowering steamed bun.

The dishes are naturally delicious, especially after the days when the city of Rundu couldn't even eat dry cakes, and even the tofu brains became more precious than imperial meals. Seeing that there was a plate of glutinous rice lotus on the other end of the long table, He Yan was a little bit eager to move.

The glutinous rice lotus root in the Yunlou Tower is sweet and delicious. When you bite into it, it seems to bite down a small bridge and flowing water. She loved eating this bite back then, and she still remembered that when she first came to the Yunlou Tower, the plate of glutinous rice and lotus root told her to eat it clean. So I wanted to take advantage of the fact that everyone was talking, and secretly took a piece to taste, whether it was still the same taste in the past.

It's a pity that this plate of glutinous rice lotus is really unfortunate, it is just placed on the long table, the farthest from her.

He Yan struggled to raise his chopsticks, trying to stretch out his hand to pick it up, but unfortunately it was too far away. If he stood up to pick up the vegetables, it would be too rude. After trying a few times, I had no choice but to give up. She was sighing in her heart, and the next moment, she suddenly saw a piece of glutinous rice lotus appear in the bowl in front of her.

He Yan was stunned for a moment, and saw Xiao Jue put down his chopsticks, as if he was not the one who just did this. He didn't look at He Yan either. He turned his head to listen to Lin Shuanghe's words.

He Yan's ears turned slightly red. Before she could figure out what to do next, she saw another piece of glutinous rice lotus in the bowl in front of her. She was stunned for a moment, then raised her head subconsciously, facing Chu Zhao's smiling expression. .

The chatter on the table had stopped for some time. Two pieces of glutinous rice lotus were suddenly added to He Yan's bowl, and everyone else on the table was staring at her with unclear meaning.

He Yan's eyes darkened, what is this? She just wanted to quietly grab a snack to eat, why did she become the center of attention?

The one Chu Zhao smiled warmly, as always, the other Xiao Jue looked at her calmly, making people feel like sitting on pins and needles.

Yan He frowned at her for a while, tapped the edge of the bowl with chopsticks, and said, "I want to ask, Wu Anlang, are you a royal relative?"

He Yan: "...No."

"Since it's not," Yan He asked incredulously, "Why are the two of them?" He pointed at Xiao Jue with chopsticks, and then pointed at Chu Zhao, "They would do this kind of behavior like competing for favor."

As soon as the word "fight for favor" came out, He Yan was horrified.

Before she could figure out how to reply, Lin Shuanghe already laughed, stretched out his chopsticks and took away the piece of glutinous rice lotus that Chu Zhao had given to He Yan, and said with a smile, "Hey, my favorite food is glutinous rice lotus root, or Fourth Young Master Chu understands me. It's great," he took a bite, "It's so sweet! Thank you Fourth Young Master Chu."

Seeing this, Chu Zhao was slightly startled, then smiled and shook his head without saying anything.

He Yan breathed a sigh of relief. Lin Shuanghe, a fine man, was fortunate to have made this matter come to an end. Otherwise, Xiao Jue might not know what to think of her in his heart. But Chu Zhao is also very good, how could he suddenly serve her dishes? If this behavior falls in the eyes of others, it will inevitably feel strange.

On the contrary, Hua Youxian seemed to see something, and clapped her hands with a smile, and a girl with a bun that fell on her horse stepped forward with a small jar of wine.

"Young masters haven't drank Bifang wine in Yunlou for a long time." She put the wine jar on the table, "This jar of Bifang wine is the last one left this year."

The attendant girl brought a few glass cups, and when Bifang wine was poured into the cup, it was green, green, and fragrant. He Yan still remembered that the wine in the Yunyun Tower when he was young was sweet and refreshing, and the drinker was slightly drunk, but not too drunk. I was looking forward to it for a while. When the girl was about to pour the wine into the wine cup in front of He Yan, Xiao Jue glanced at her and suddenly said, "Give her a bowl of milk."

He Yan: "..."

The girl who poured the wine was also stunned, and looked at Xiao Jue at a loss. He Yan was inexplicable and asked, "Captain, why should I drink cow's milk?"

The man was very calm and said, "The milk grows taller."

Yan He touched his chin, his scrutiny eyes swept across He Yan, and nodded in response: "Indeed, this kid is indeed shorter."

Hua Youxian laughed, "Young Master Xiao, there is no milk in the Yunlou Tower. Bifang wine is a bit strong. I'm afraid this little boy can't drink it. Lilac, you go and get the rose dew."

Not long after, a girl brought rose dew, and when the rose dew was put into the cup, it was a very different light red from Bifang wine.

This wine was exactly the same as the sweet wine she tasted in the Yunyun Tower.

Yan He, who was on the side, also grabbed one, and frowned after taking a sip: "What is this? It's sweet, like sherbet."

"This is rose dew, which is usually given to the girls themselves."

Yan He didn't notice, and laughed at He Yan and said, "Lang Wu An, did you hear that, this is for girls! Are you still a man?"

The speaker has no intention, and the listener has a heart. He Yan is really speechless. Just when she was thinking about how to answer without being rude, Lin Shuanghe on the side helped her out, Lin Shuanghe shook his fan and said unhurriedly, "Yan Nanguang, you came to the Yunlou Tower when you were young, and now you are here again. "Does your wife know about this?"

Yan He's face changed greatly.

"Miss Chengxiu pays the most attention to etiquette, and Master Xia also keeps herself clean. The Xia family is afraid that no one has ever been to Hualou, but you made an exception. I don't know how Miss Chengxiu knows about this, how will she see you?"

"You... you don't have to talk nonsense." Yan He stammered his rebuttal, but this rebuttal was very imposing.

He Yan heard this and said strangely, "Miss Chengxiu? Is that General Yan's wife?"

"Miss Xia Chengxiu, the eldest daughter of Master Xia, is the eldest daughter of the Imperial College Supervisor. She has tender branches and tender leaves, and she is graceful and polite. How many people in Shuojing wanted to hire a beautiful woman for their young master, but Yan Nanguang took the lead." Lin Shuanghe laughed and teased, "Everyone said Heroes are saddened by Beauty Pass. We, General Yan, heard that he was very obedient to his wife in the mansion. The wife told the east not to let the west go to the west. The wife did not allow you to drink alcohol, and only drank tea when socializing with colleagues. It is really a model of a virtuous husband."

Yan He's face flushed, "Lin Shuanghe, you... don't talk nonsense here!"

"Oh? Isn't that the case? Then when you return to Shuojing, you must ask Mrs.-in-law carefully." He said.

Yan He didn't dare to say anything else, if Lin Shuanghe really confronted Xia Chengxiu, wouldn't he immediately slapped him in the face. His eyes glanced at the crowd at the table, he simply found a new way, raised his ponytail, put the wine cup in front of him on the table, and said loudly: "What's wrong with listening to the lady? The man can bend and stretch! Besides, this general has at least his wife. Do you have any? Do you have any? All of you, may I ask which of you have a wife now?"

He Yan: "..."

This is really unacceptable.

Yan He drank the wine in front of him again, and he didn't know if the Bifang wine was particularly intoxicating. He was already drunk, so he first asked Lin Shuanghe, "You hang out with women every day, and all the women in the world are you. Sister, do you have a wife?"

Lin Shuanghe: "...No."

As if he had won a battle, he asked Yang Mingzhi with satisfaction, "You have a gentle temperament, and you are only eight fights tall. They all say that there is no shortage of talented people to match. Do you have a wife?"

Yang Mingzhi: "...No."

Yan He became more and more interested and looked at Chu Zhao, "You have..." He suddenly paused and said to himself, "Your wife has already decided, that's all, the next one."

He asked He Yan again, "Little man, do you have a wife?"

He Yan: "..."

She really can't have this.

Yan He turned to Xiao Jue again, and looked at him proudly, "You are the number one in the Xianchang Pavilion, with a handsome face, outstanding posture, unrivaled in civil and military affairs, and the threshold outside the Xianchang Pavilion will be broken by the girls in those years. , but... do you have a wife?"

Xiao Jue looked at him calmly.

"You don't have it when you see it!" Yan He swept away the people at the wine table with one person's strength, probably thinking that it was a great honor to have a wife, and became more and more happy, slammed the table, stood up and shouted loudly Said: "It seems that you are not very good. Do you know how amazing it is to have a wife? Did you never have someone waiting under the lamp when you came home late at night? Have you ever had your wife's cooking when you have a headache? The hot soup? Not to mention the clothes and boots that the lady sewed by herself, ho," He glanced at the crowd with contempt, as if he was looking down on the emperor, "Don't say there is a lady, you have lived until now, I'm afraid you don't even have a girl's hand. Pulled, the first kiss is still kept."

The more he talked, the more outrageous it became. He Yan covered his face with his hands and couldn't bear to look at it. Yang Mingzhi couldn't help pulling Yanhe's robe, "Brother Nanguang, it's over."

Seeing this, the girls who were pouring wine and playing the piano couldn't help but chuckle. I just feel that this young man who looks arrogant and arrogant also has a kind of reckless cuteness at the moment.

Cailian smiled and said, "Young Master Yan is wrong, we are in the Yunyun Building here, if it is a girl, there is nothing missing, you young masters are so outstanding, I really want to choose the sisters in the building, everyone. All willingly.”

He Yan was so shocked that he almost dropped the cup, what is this? Is this the beginning of self-recommended pillow seats? Can't! Absolutely not! Although it is the Yunyun Building, she has always regarded the Yunyun Building as a serious tavern.

As soon as she thought of this, she saw that the two beautiful and charming girls beside Cai Lian were already sticking to Xiao Jue. She had a really good eye, and she picked the best one here. He Yan moved faster than he thought, and subconsciously shouted, "No!"

The two girls who were about to persuade them to drink had a meal, and the others at the table looked at her.

Facing Xiao Jue's thoughtful gaze, He Yan said calmly, "We came here as a group, only drinking and not talking about love."

Hearing this, Hua Youxian smiled even more happily. She poured a glass of Bifang wine by herself, and bowed to He Yan, "Young master is so cute, the slave family toasts you."

He Yan felt like a simple and honest scholar who had strayed into the goblin's cave. At this moment, he was really weak, pitiful and helpless.

After drinking a cup of rose dew, Cailian smiled and said, "Do you still remember, young masters, here many years ago, everyone sang and danced together," she looked at Yan He, "Young master Yan was still dancing on the table at that time. ."

Yan He was taken aback: "Why don't I remember?"

It's good that he didn't say this. He Yan remembered it as soon as he said it. At that time, after driving away Tong Qiushi for Hua Youxian and frightening Liu Rui away, everyone drank and celebrated in the Yunlou Tower. The girls in the Yunlou Tower played the piano and danced, which was so lively. Ding's mother brought out the best Bifang wine to entertain, Yan He drank the most and got drunk the fastest. After getting drunk, take out a long knife and cut the lotus flower used to decorate the vase in half.

Everyone was startled, and before they could stop him, they saw the particularly brightly dressed young man stepped on the table and began to dance the knife. He danced and chanted: "There is Ruomu in the east of the sky, and there is a candle dragon under it. I will cut off the dragon's feet and chew the dragon's meat, so that it can't go back in the morning or fall down at night!"

The little friends rushed to pull him and ripped him off the table, Lin Shuanghe covered his mouth and smiled at the girls next to him: "This guy is drunk, talking nonsense, it can't be true, sister Let's forget this time, don't take it to heart." He turned around and scolded Yan He: "What slaying the dragon... You dare to talk nonsense like this, if your father knew about it, he would bring you back tomorrow to fight. Broken leg."

It's a pity that Yan He was already drunk at that time.

"Everyone was drunk at that time," Lin Shuanghe sighed as he recalled the past, "Bifang is a strong drinker, but now that I think about it, apart from Huai Jin, it was He Rufei who had the best drink and was the most sober."

"He Rufei?" Yan He felt embarrassed when he heard He Rufei, and hummed, "I think he secretly poured out the wine. If you say he has a good drink, I don't believe it! He must have done something. "

He Yan lowered her eyes and looked at the crimson wine in the wine cup in front of her. She thought to herself, that time, she really wasn't drunk, and even when everyone was unconscious, she returned to her room sober and her clothes collapsed. . There is no other reason, because at that time everyone was drinking Bifang wine, and she was alone, drinking the rose dew that is common today.

As Yan He said, rose dew is a sweet sherbet. Although it is wine, its wine quality is definitely not as good as Bifang wine. What's more, she was extra cautious that day, so she drank very little, so when everyone lay down, she could still stand.

It's just... why did she get the rose dew all by herself back then?

He Yan didn't understand.

There was a girl who played the pipa with a light voice, which made people happy. When I was young, I always liked watching tragedies on the stage and listening to sad songs. I always felt that the joy of the world was not as unforgettable as the sad events. As I get older, I strive to achieve perfection in everything, but know that it is difficult to achieve perfection.

All I want is an instant.

Cailian covered her mouth with a smile and said, "Not only that, at that time, the young masters still left various calligraphy treasures in the Yunyun Building, but after a long time, those calligraphy treasures were all lost. Otherwise, they can still be taken out for a look today. , is also a pleasure.”

"What's so great about the calligraphy," Yan He disagreed, "Just write another copy. We, the talented Yang Yang, are here, what can't be written, right?"

Yang Mingyi was stunned and did not speak.

Hua Youxian seemed to be touched by his words, said "wait a moment", and got up and left the table. Everyone didn't know what she was going to do. After a while, the girl came over with a long scroll and walked to everyone's side.

"Youxian girl, what is this?" Lin Shuanghe asked.

Hua Youxian looked at the scroll in her arms and stroked it a few times, her eyes full of nostalgia and memories. She said softly, "I don't know if the young masters still remember that when they celebrated at the Yunyun Tower, the prince was there."

Everyone fell silent.

The person "Wang Gongzi" was the cause and the end of everything back then. After the reunion, everyone deliberately avoided talking about this person, just for fear that Hua Youxian would be sad. Although I don't know why, it may be that a girl who is willing to sacrifice herself for her lover and travel thousands of miles to reconcile and leave, must have encountered enough sad things.

"When the young masters were drinking and talking, the young master was painting and portraying all the young masters." As she said, she asked the girl beside her to help unroll the scroll. At the time, I didn't bring any luggage, only this."

As soon as the words were finished, the long scroll in his hand slowly unfolded and fell into the eyes of everyone.

Wang Sheng does not comment on the rest, and his talent is indeed true. The brushstrokes perfectly capture the characteristics of each person and are lifelike, but when you see the long scroll, the lights are intertwined, and Hu Qinsheng is full of songs. The girls with beautiful eyebrows and beautiful eyes have skirts like turned up chandeliers, and the long seats are tilted with wine pots and cups upside down.

The boy with a high ponytail stepped on the table, his brows were full of energy, and he was dancing a knife. There was a boy under the table, holding a folding fan in one hand, and busy pulling him with the other. Yang Mingzhi on the side is not as steady as he is now, but his expression is as gentle as ever.

He Yan also saw himself.

The girl with the mask sat in the corner, amidst the laughter and laughter, she seemed to be forgotten, and she tilted her head slightly, as if following something, as far as her eyes could see, she was sitting in the middle, casually bowing her head and drinking lightly. Robe boy.

Regarding competing for favor, Dr. Lin, who sees through everything, said: Harm! This man's bloody desire to win!

Yan Yan: Although I'm a cowboy, I only order milk at the bar~~
