The Rebirth of a Star General

The Rebirth of a Star General
Chapter 7



     At night, the wind enters through the cracks of the window and makes the candlelight sway slightly. He Yan looked at the silver puck in front of him and asked, "That's it?"


"I've asked the shopkeeper to give me more." Qing Mei said awkwardly, "But the shopkeeper said that the jewelry could only be exchanged for this much."


He Yan nodded, "Then you can go first."


Qing Mei is gone.


He Yan took out the silver pieces one by one and placed them on his palm. There are only two pieces in total. He felt his heart break with them.


When he was in the He Family, he did not lack for money. Even if he was really short on money, he could casually take out some jewels or jade pendants in exchange for some money. Later, when he was on the battlefield, he did not need money. When he returned to the capital, the Emperor's gifts filled several pages of the He Family.


He thought of the gold, silver, and jewels given to General Feihong. He could take one of them and settle the urgent needs of the He Family. But he wasn't in the He Family right now.


He Yan let out a heavy sigh and finally understood what it meant to be "a penny made the hero confused".


Money is money. There's one more thing. He also wanted to go to the training ground. Going up the mountain to cut firewood every day could indeed strengthen his body, but it only added to his physical strength. If he wanted to recover his strength, the fastest way would be to go to the training ground and fight with the others, shoot arrows and ride horses. But she did not know if He Sui, who loved her daughter so much, would agree.


He blew out the candle and went to sleep. No matter what, everything can wait until tomorrow.


The next day, after chopping firewood and going down the mountain, He Yunsheng had lunch and went to sell cookies.


He Yan looked at his large basket filled with cookies and asked, "You made so many cookies. Can you sell everything?"


"Cuacia's hot. Many people come to buy cakes." He Yunsheng said, "After a few days, it's time to sell another cake."


He Yunsheng was really worried about this family. He was very clear about these business matters. He Yan was in awe and patted his shoulder, "Then let's go."


He Yunsheng's body stiffened. He Yan's action was really.


When they arranged at the shack, there were many peddlers because they had arrived early. The two of them found a good spot near the street. He looked out the big cake.


It was the beginning of April. When the sun came out in the afternoon, it felt like summer. The large cake was sweet and sour, and also had the fragrance of plums. It was the perfect time to buy it as a snack. As He Yunsheng expected, business was good. He Yunsheng picked up the cake and He Yan collected the money. As the two were busy, they suddenly saw a group of people aggressively rushing towards their positions. The leader was Wang Jiugui from yesterday.


"Pa!" Wang Jiugui slammed both of his hands on the table. The surrounding people hurriedly retreated, unwilling to get involved in this disaster.


He Yunsheng was not afraid and said angrily, "What are you doing?"


"What are you doing?" Wang Jiugui coldly snorted, "You hit me yesterday, do you think I can just let go of it?"


He Yunsheng rolled up his sleeves and said coldly, "You want to fight? I will accompany you! "


"Good boy, you got guts!" Wang Jiugui took a step back, and the minions behind him surrounded He Yunsheng, "Young man, I advise you not to be too arrogant!"


He Yunsheng was unmoved. Right now, He Yan said, "Stop!"


He Yunsheng and Wang Jiugui looked at He Yan together.


When Wang Jiugui saw He Yan, he laughed again and said, "This boy is absurd, but he is your little brother. I still have to look at Lady He. If Lady He is willing to accompany me for a walk, I will let this matter go. I am a generous person and will not fight with children. "


"I don't think you can spit ivory out of a dog's mouth!" He Yunsheng was furious.


"If you have something to say, don't say it here. You'll scare the people around." He Yan said indifferently, "Let's go over there and talk." He pointed to a small alley in the distance.


"No!"


"okay!"


He Yunsheng and Wang Jiugui spoke together.


He Yunsheng said anxiously, "You girls, how can you and them .. These people are not good people!"


Wang Jiugui laughed, "It seems Lady He makes sense. Lefs go. I also brought a present for Lady He today …"


He Yunsheng still wanted to create trouble. He Yan leaned close to his ear and whispered, "Do you think I cut firewood with you in the mountains in vain? Don't worry, it'll be fine. Just for the time it takes to brew a cup of tea. "


The girl's voice was soft and gentle, with a trace of inexplicable laughter. He Yunsheng could not help but be stunned. When he regained his senses, He Yan had already left with Wang Jiugui and the others.


He Yunsheng wanted to chase after them, but when he thought of what He Yan had told him, he stopped himself.


He will believe it this time. The time it takes to brew a cup of tea. If he did not return at the time it took to brew a cup of tea, he would go and find it.


On the other hand, He Yan and Wang Jiugui walked into a small alley.


Above the small alley was the wine shop of the Zuiyu House. Faintly they could hear the melodious sound of the zither inside. He Yan had long been looking forward to this place, but he had never been there. Not long after he returned to the capital, He Rufei returned. He was dressed like a girl, so he could not enter this kind of place.


"Sister He," Wang Jiugui grinned and leaned forward, "What do you want to talk to me about?"


"My brother."


"You're talking about Young Master He," Wang Jiugui was a little surprised, but he quickly smiled and waved his hand generously, "I won't lower myself to his level, you know that." He took out a round box of duck egg-colored powder from his chest, and touched He Yan's face with his other hand, "I have you in my heart, from now on, we are family …"


Before Wang Jiugui could finish his words, it was replaced by a scream.


In the House of Zuiyu, the strings of the zither trembled slightly due to this scream. A wrong tone was plucked, like a scratch on a beautiful jade, suddenly and regretfully. Someone asked confusedly, "What sound is that?"


One corner of the muslin curtain is lifted by the handle of the fan. The tea cup is very beautiful, but not as slim as the fingers that hold the tea.


He Yan released his hand, and Wang Jiugui's arm drooped limp, his face full of horror. He Yan smiled faintly, raised his hand, and the box of talc struck Wang Jiugui's head, smashing the white foam on his face.


"Thank you for your gift, but I don't like lowly powder like this. Remember, don't give me something like this in the future."


"Whore! Hit him! "Wang Jiugui wailed, but did not forget to give the order.


When the young girl heard this, it was as if she heard a joke. His eyes were curved, and his laughter was as clear as mountain springs. He's very happy. The spring breeze blew the corners of her skirt, her black hair, snow-white skin, bright and kind almond-shaped eyes. She was like a beautiful young lady walking on a blue road.


But the words he spoke were terrifying.


He rubbed his wrist, and said with a smile, "You better not regret it."
