General's humble stand-in

The willow branches sprout new buds in front of the door, and the ice and snow on the eaves melt into drops. It seems that spring is coming quietly.

At the beginning of February, it was the general's birthday, and only a few friends were invited to hold a banquet in Tingfenglou.

Xu Tianlei, the son of the Minister of the Ministry of War, presented a blood coral, which is crystal clear and transparent, with colorful and dazzling light.This is a rare item, which really opened the eyes of the people in the room.

"This stuff is rare, so you didn't steal it from your father, did you?" Cheng Ziyuan was very skeptical.He and Xu Tianlei are related, cousins, so they speak more bluntly.

"Nonsense." Xu Tianlei curled his lips, his delicate facial features showing a sly look, "I stole this from my grandmother's room, and my father helped me cover it."

Everyone was dumbfounded.

Gu Ye shook his head amusedly, "It's not appropriate, you should take it back."

"Don't." Xu Tianlei gently held the folding fan in his hand, "This is my father's wish, how can I take it back? Besides, it is also selfish to give this. It is already a weak year, and it seems that I can go to the battlefield. Also, General Gu, please take care of me and save my life."

Half-joking and half-true, it made everyone laugh.

In comparison, Shen Feng was shabby, and he only gave him an exquisite white porcelain bottle, about the size of the palm of his hand.

"There are only three ancestral life-saving pills, so save some."

Seeing this, Xu Tianlei on the side stared straight at him.Coquettishly pestering Shen Feng, "Brother Shen, on my birthday, can you give me three too?"

Shen Feng teased him, "Call Brother Shen again."

"Brother Shen."

"Call again."

"Brother Shen, brother Shen."

Shen Feng's smiling eyes completed the crescent buds, "Okay, I will give you one on your birthday."

"Why only one?" Xu Tianlei pouted unhappily with his delicate face.

Before Shen Feng could speak, Cheng Ziyuan replied with a gloomy face, "It's said to be inherited from the ancestors, you should be Sanqi bezoar, grab a lot of them. You are already twenty, and you are still arresting someone like a child." Who is being coquettish."

Xu Tianlei has been afraid of this cousin who always has a straight face since he was a child, so he drooped the corners of his eyes and stopped talking.

"Tian Lei has always been like this, what are you doing to him?" Gu Ye persuaded.

"That's right, she's much cuter than you." Shen Feng chimed in.

Cheng Ziyuan gulped down the Sangluo wine in his glass depressed, and cast a peevish glance at Shen Feng.It is said that the son of the Shen family is smart and transparent, and his heart is more delicate than Qiqiao, but why can't he see his own thoughts.

During the chat, the mahogany Eight Immortals table has been covered with exquisite dishes.Stewed venison in casserole, eight-treasure spicy rabbit diced, white fungus sweet-scented osmanthus fish, scallion roasted tender beef...

Gu Ye raised the golden silk and bamboo chopsticks, paused suddenly, turned his head and called out the door, "Taozhuo."

Tao Zhuo, who was leaning on the tree under the porch and broke his fingers in boredom, hurried to the door, "What are your orders, Master?"

"Come and eat together."

"Ah?" After Tao Zhuo was shocked, he waved his hands again and again, "This is against the rules, young master, take it easy, I will wait outside."

"It's okay." Gu Ye chuckled, "Your master and Ziyuan are old acquaintances, and this Mr. Xu Tianlei is not a harsh person, so come here."

Tao Zhuo still hesitated, but Shen Feng said with a smile, "Hurry up, I can hear your stomach growling from a long distance away."

"No way." Tao Zhuo's cheeks flushed slightly in embarrassment, she tilted her head and pinched the tips of her ears in embarrassment.

The toasts were staggered, and the banquet was half over in a blink of an eye.

Shen Feng put down his wine glass, rubbed his bright red cheeks, his eyes were already full of bewilderment and drunkenness.

"I'll go out for convenience." When he got up, his figure was already unstable.

Cheng Ziyuan showed concern, and said to Gu Ye, "I'll go out for a while too."

The sun is very good, but when the ice and snow melt, the wind is still mixed with a chill.

Cheng Ziyuan trotted to catch up with Shen Feng, and asked with concern, "Is it cold?"

Shen Feng shook his head.

They were speechless all the way, when the two turned back the same way, Cheng Ziyuan couldn't bear it and grabbed Shen Feng's sleeve.

"Are you really not understanding or pretending not to understand?" Cheng Ziyuan was a little impatient. He didn't like poetry and books since he was a child, but only loved to dance with knives and guns.

Shen Feng blinked his intoxicated eyes, "What?"

"I..." Cheng Ziyuan hesitated to speak, since he had never experienced love, he would inevitably feel ashamed.

It's just that the words have reached the throat, and it's uncomfortable not to speak.Cheng Ziyuan scratched his hair impatiently, then pulled Shen Feng by the sleeve and pulled him behind a rockery where no one was around.

"I, I like you."

Cheng Ziyuan plucked up the courage to confess, his heart pounded against his chest, and he seemed to fly out in a panic.

The sound of the wind pierced through the rocks, like a wild beast roaring "Woo-woo".Cheng Ziyuan leaned his body against the rocks to shield Shen Feng from the cold wind.

Shen Feng's expression was as calm as water, and Cheng Ziyuan's words did not cause any ripples.

"Well, I see." Shen Feng nodded, turned around to leave, Cheng Ziyuan hurriedly pulled him back again.

"You haven't promised me yet?"

Seeing Cheng Ziyuan's cheeks blushing anxiously, Shen Feng smiled, "What should I promise you?"

The more calm Shen Feng was, the more anxious Cheng Ziyuan became, "I will treat you well and protect you for the rest of my life. If you like, I, I can also call you Brother Shen."

After finishing speaking, his ears turned red, and he was a little shy while being domineering.

Shen Feng raised his hand to cover the smile on his lips, "Call me to listen."

"Brother Shen." Cheng Ziyuan's voice was hoarse, and he approached Shen Feng's ear, calling again, "Brother Shen."

Different from Xu Tianlei, Cheng Ziyuan's two voices from Brother Shen were as soft as feathers, which touched Shen Feng's heartstrings.

Shen Feng suddenly took half a step back, distanced himself from Cheng Ziyuan.

Ever since Cheng Ziyuan ran to the Banxia Courtyard for various reasons, Shen Feng could vaguely guess what he was thinking.It's just that this kind of thing is indecent after all, and both of them are from aristocratic families in Beijing, so if it spreads out, it may bring shame to the family.

Suddenly there was warmth in the waist, and before Shen Feng could react, the whole body was already embraced by Cheng Ziyuan.

Pressing against Shen Feng's bright red earlobe, Cheng Ziyuan murmured in a hoarse voice, "Brother Shen, my heart with you is as firm as a rock. If you fail, you will be struck by lightning."

At this moment, Shen Feng's heart sank following the oath.

Shen Feng sighed, "If this kind of thing gets out, people in the world will laugh at it. No one will accept our relationship, behind us is the whole family."

I felt that the hand around my waist became tighter, and the voice in my ear became firmer, "I would rather lose the world than you."

Love is lingering, like mandarin ducks.The oath is beautiful, but the road ahead is long.

As it was getting late, Shen Feng and the other three were sent away.

Gu Ye supported his sore forehead, and lay on his back lazily on the bed, reeking of alcohol.

Tao Zhuo hurried over to take off his shoes and socks.

"Young master, lie on your stomach first, and I'll rub some ointment on your back."

Gu Ye looked at Tao Zhuo with slack eyes, and said with a strong nasal voice after drinking, "It's all good, why are you still rubbing it?"

"It's scabbed, I'm afraid it will leave a scar if I don't apply the medicine."

Gu Ye raised his lips and smiled, "There are so many scars on my body, I don't care if there are a few more."

As he said that, pain suddenly oozes from his eyes, but the smile is still stiff on his face, "Is there medicine that can heal the scars in my heart?"

Tao Zhuo shook his head lightly, feeling sorry for Gu Ye in front of him.

If there is such a panacea, I will not be as heartbroken as you are.
