Spring is coming to an end, and even the rain is beginning to feel the summer heat.
At the end of the last day of the conscription, the long account for filling out the documents at the racecourse has been put away, and replaced by countless small accounts. The new recruits who said goodbye to their families have gathered, and they will leave for Liangzhou early the next morning after tonight.
The tent was very narrow, and a few people squeezed in, barely okay. He Yan and Hong Shan sat next to each other, and Hong Shan led a slightly larger tent. Since neither of them had much luggage, it was quite spacious when they sat up. From last night to tonight, He Yan has been here for a whole day.
There will be steamed buns here, two at a time, and more will be given when Liangzhou settles down. The rest was nothing, except that it was inconvenient to go to the thatched hut, so He Yan had to wait until the dead of night when no one went there secretly.
She just came out of the thatched hut, walked to her tent, flipped the tent, and there were two more people inside. Hong Shan was talking to them, and when they heard the movement, the two looked back.
They were probably a pair of brothers. They looked a bit similar. They were black, black and thin, with a real handsome look. They were not very old. The older one was about sixteen or seventeen years old. The younger one looked about the same age as He Yunsheng . The older one should be the elder brother, who is taciturn, and the younger one is probably the younger brother. Seeing He Yan, he smiled and asked familiarly, "This elder brother is..."
"This is your brother Ah He," Hong Shan helped He Yan recognize a younger brother, and said to He Yan, "These are the two new brothers who arrived today. There is no tent outside, so they are here with us. Squeeze." He pointed to the taciturn young man, "This is a stone." He pointed to the innocent and innocent young man who smiled, "This is wheat."
Shitou and Mai, these are probably two brothers from a poor family, otherwise a better family should have a good name.
He Yan found a place to sit down. With two more people, the tent suddenly seemed crowded.
"Are you from the capital?" He Yan asked, feeling a little thirsty, so he unscrewed the kettle around his waist and took a sip.
Shitou doesn't like to talk, but his younger brother Mai is very lively, he said: "We live on Xianghuai Mountain, and we usually hunt and live. When we went down the mountain last time, I saw that the army was recruiting. My brother discussed it with me and came to join the army. "
It was the home of hunters on the mountain.
"Maybe your parents will join the army?" Hong Shan asked. Generally speaking, even if the poor family members come to join the army, they will not let their two sons join the army together, and always leave a way out for the family.
"My parents are long gone. I grew up with my brother."
Hong Shan sighed, "Then you should take good care of your life, and join the army when you have nothing to do. Joining the army is not fun. Shouldn't you be..." He pouted in He Yan's direction, "Just like him, he wants to make achievements and make a career. Bar?"
"A man should make meritorious deeds," Maipai said naively, "Besides, this time I led the troops to Liangzhou, and the commander of the right army was Governor Xiao, my brother and I have admired him for a long time, and we were able to follow him. It's our honor to do things!"
He Yan was listening to them while drinking water. Hearing that, a mouthful of water spurted out, almost choking on him.
Several people in the tent looked at her.
"You said, who went to Liangzhou to be the commander?" she asked.
Mai thought she didn't know "Dudu Xiao", and explained, "It's the current General Feng Yun, Xiao Huaijin, the second son of the Xiao family."
He Yan's heart trembled.
How could Xiao Jue go to Liangzhou as a commander? His official position is completely unnecessary, and since he has his own troops, why should he bring a new recruit to Liangzhou? unless he was demoted.
Xiao Jue was demoted
…
The Xiao family in Beijing.
The Xiao family's house was specially renovated according to his wife's preferences when General Xiao was alive. The Xiao family did not change the layout of the courtyard in later generations. Therefore, although it is a family of military generals, the repaired courtyard is as elegant and unique as a small courtyard in Suzhou.
Passing through the flower wall is the main room. There is a pomegranate tree next to the main room. Before it bears fruit, looking in through the window, it can be seen that the ponderosa pine shelf is full of books. Someone is sitting at the table reading a book.
The young student is fair-skinned and beautiful, with an indifferent expression and a bit of laziness. Because he is in his own mansion, dressed casually, with a cloud-patterned brocade and sapphire belt, he looks more and more handsome. There is a sword hanging on the wall, the color is like frost and snow, crystal clear and translucent, although it is not sheathed, it can be seen.
The door was pushed open and someone walked in.
The person who came here is a man and a woman. The man is seven-point similar to Xiao Jue, but not as cold as Xiao Jue, with a softer and clearer air, with a splendid appearance. This person is Xiao Jue's eldest brother, Xiao Jue's mother. Jing. Following Xiao Jing was his wife Bai Rongwei. Although she was not stunning, she was also a beautiful and dignified lady with bright teeth.
The couple stood together, like a pair of beautiful people, pleasing to the eye.
"Huai Jin," Bai Rongwei said. She put the package in Xiao Jing's hand on the table and said, "These are the shoes and clothes you have prepared for Liangzhou. Try them later."
Since the death of General Xiao and his wife, the Xiao family has only two brothers, Xiao Jing and Xiao Jue. The elder sister-in-law is like a mother. The former general's wife sewed Xiao Jue's clothes, but now it has become Bai Rongwei.
"Thank you, sister-in-law." Xiao Jue nodded.
Bai Rong smiled and said, "When you guys talk, I'll go and see if the soup is good." After speaking, he backed out.
After Bai Rongwei left, Xiao Jing stared at Xiao Jue for a while, and finally sighed and said, "Huai Jin, you really don't need to go to Liangzhou."
"Xu Jiefu has been attacking you frequently in the court recently, because he is looking for trouble for the Xiao family." Xiao Jue said with a calm expression, "The emperor listened to Xu Jingfu's words, but I caused trouble in the capital. It's better to go to Liangzhou to avoid the edge for a while. , Besides, the death of my father was full of doubts, and this time there are clues, and there may be new discoveries."
Speaking of General Xiao's death, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became dull.
After a long silence, Xiao Jing reached out and patted Xiao Jue's shoulder, "You always think more than me, but I can't do anything for you."
"The situation faced by eldest brother in the court is much more complicated. When I'm not here, the Xiao family will rely on eldest brother." Xiao Jue smiled and looked at Xiao Jing and said, "Brother take care."
"You also take care." Xiao Jing sighed a lot, perhaps in order to ease the bitter atmosphere, he deliberately joked: "I am not forbidding you to go to Liangzhou, but you have reached the crown now, and it is time to get engaged. Do you like the girls your sister-in-law helped you meet?"
When Xiao Jue heard the words, she put away her smile, and her expression became duller, to the point of indifference.
"No, I don't plan to marry a wife."
