auspicious time has come

Chapter 57 Will Lord Hou Die? (Includes rewards and updates from Qinghan Qinghan)
"It's just minor border frictions, so there won't be another war." Xiao Mu said, "The new year is approaching, and there are a lot of military affairs that need to be dealt with. In addition, there are reports and reports to be submitted to the capital. It is more convenient to live in the military camp."

He explained quite carefully, Heng Yu nodded, but there was still a trace of speculation in her heart.

Really?
Or, is it really just that?

Heng Yu glanced at the position of Xiao Mu's left shoulder indiscriminately.

He was wearing a thick navy blue fur coat, his black hair was neatly tied up with a jade crown, and the profile of his outstanding bone image became a little clearer. He was still tall and straight, but he seemed a little thinner than before.

It is always said that a small injury is not a serious problem...

But when Aunt Xiao asked why her complexion was not good recently, she often covered it up by saying it was cold, and now she has to move back to the barracks.

As the envoy of the Yingzhou Jiedu, but also in the rumors of the treasure map, every move will cause waves, and it is normal to hide the injury.

But what kind of injury is it that is so difficult to heal?

Hengyu couldn't help but think nervously: General Xiao... Will he die?

Objectively speaking, Xiao Mu is the one who really drives the overall situation. If something happens to him, the Northland will be in turmoil...

Talking about selfishness, putting aside the standpoint, after getting along with each other these days, the Xiaohou Lord she knows is a subordinate who cares about the common people. Although the appearance is a little cold, there are also many respectable things——

Then there is Aunt Xiao. Aunt Xiao has a strong temperament. It is said that Xiao Mu's father was married to Xiao's family, so Lord Xiao took his mother's surname, and his father died young due to illness, leaving only mother and son to depend on each other. ——If Lord Hou really has something good or bad, Aunt Xiao must not be able to bear it.

Thinking of this, Hengyu couldn't help but become more and more nervous about the life and death of Lord Hou.

Xiao Mu didn't know that the people beside him were full of thoughts of "Will Master Xiao die?" He only said: "If there is any progress in the painting, Master Ji can send Da Zhu to the barracks to spread the word at any time."

Heng Yu replied: "Okay, I will."

She has produced seven or eight portraits. Tall, short, fat, thin, rich and poor, whether she has read a book, etc., all have an impact on her appearance and temperament. At the beginning of the search, the clues were limited, and she needed to draw as many possible possibilities as possible. .

At this time, Wang Jingyong came over and said that the matter of going to the barracks had been arranged.

Xiao Mu looked at Hengyu: "Painter Ji, let's go back."

Heng Yu nodded: "Master Hou, take care."

The girl's eyes were bright and sincere, Xiao Mu was slightly startled, and then nodded slightly.

Seeing him leaving quickly with Wang Jingyong, Heng Yu also returned to the guest house with her worries in mind.

And she sat down in the house on her front foot, and just took the hot tea brought by Cuihuai to warm her hands, when she saw Jiji coming back.

Heng Yu glanced at the little girl's expression.

There are no red eyes, but there is no joy either.

The tone was relaxed, and she came to ask her: "Miss, what do you want for lunch? Yan Langjun sent someone to deliver a sea bass last night, and it was still alive and kicking. Do you want it steamed or stewed?" soup?"

Hengyu thought for a while and said, "Let's make soup."

"Okay, the maidservant will tell the little kitchen now!"

Seeing the little maid walking out quickly, Heng Yu didn't bother to ask any more questions.

In fact, she roughly guessed the key point.

But this matter is a family matter of the Meng family, right or wrong is not mentioned, it is really not something outsiders can intervene in.

If Jiji can stop the loss in time, there is no need to get involved in these headaches, or the right choice.

At this time, Meng Dazhu was still standing beside the rockery where he had just talked to Jiji.

A girl's voice seemed to echo in his ears——

He originally wanted to tell her that if he really felt that his appearance was vulgar, he had something to think about.

But she looked at him calmly, and said to him——

"In terms of appearance, I was the one who said something angry that day. Please forgive me for the impoliteness."

"I have known the girl since I was a child, and I was fortunate to be by her side. I have broadened my horizons and read some books, and then I have a different idea from her. I can't marry into a married family. Arrived."

"Lieutenant Meng is very good. I am also very happy these days, but I can't force myself to give up the bottom line and live in such unequal chaotic days just because of these. , I am even more ashamed of my own, which is extremely difficult to clear my head."

"I said this not to influence Captain Meng's family affairs. On the contrary, I don't want you to confront the family because of me. I can't bear such a fault, and I can't bear such a situation like Mrs. Wen's. The consequences of doing it. I have no intention of hurting others, but it is impossible to sacrifice myself."

"I'm telling you this in the hope that you can stop thinking about it as soon as possible, and you really don't have to waste your time on me."

"..."

He wanted to say a lot, but in the end he just said something in a low voice: "I see..."

He originally wanted to say that he was unwilling to share matters of marriage with others, otherwise he would not have delayed the marriage until now.

He also wanted to say that he would definitely find a way to deal with sex!
But...is there any way for him to get the best of both worlds right now?
He was not afraid of his father's beating and scolding, but because his eldest aunt was suffering from illness, he would definitely not be able to do such an unfilial act.Just as Jiji said just now, she cannot afford such a mistake, and it is his due responsibility to ensure the safety of the family.

Crying and spitting and ignoring, that is the behavior of a child.If you don't have the ability to do things, you are not worthy of a family.

Therefore, before there is no proper solution, he cannot promise casually.

He will never give up on this.

Do your best and go all out, not just on the battlefield!

The young man thought for a long time, his eyes regained his firmness, and he stepped out of the corridor.

……

Xiao Mu went back to the barracks, besides Yan Ming, he only brought Wang Jingyong and Yin Hai who couldn't bear to be harassed by Miss Pei's family and who was eager to keep up with him.

Meng Dazhu was left to take care of some chores, and left it to the Jiang media official to continue to do business performance.

It's just that the achievements of Jiang's media officials have not made progress worth mentioning.

On the day of Laba, Mengmu Shan was sitting beside Mrs. Wen's bed, sighing and talking about this matter.

"There are so many girls, but there is not even a single one you like?" Mrs. Wen frowned slightly, and said with some anxiety: "Could it be serious..."

"Sister-in-law don't have to worry about this." Shan smiled: "This kid already has a girl he likes."

Hearing her biting the word "girl", Mrs. Wen couldn't help but ask, "Which family is it?"

"It's the Jiji girl next to Painter Ji."

After Mrs. Wen was surprised, she couldn't help laughing: "So it's that little girl, I should have seen it long ago..."

He couldn't help but ask: "Since that's the case, why didn't you help Da Zhu to make a fuss? That's a cute little girl, and she didn't come from a humble background."

"It's not that I don't want to help him." Shan sighed helplessly: "He ran to talk about it by himself, but the girl didn't agree... I wanted to ask Jiang's matchmaker to talk about it, but he stopped me. Just say that you can't disturb the little girl anymore."

"Don't agree?"

"Hey, at first I saw that the two of them were on good terms, but who would have thought...the poor boy had a hard time opening his eyes, and he bumped into the wall with a bang! It looked like he hit a big bag, and it didn't take long I'm afraid I can't slow it down!" Shan laughed and sighed: "But after this incident, I feel that this kid has grown up a lot, and gradually looks like an adult."

Young people have to go through some things to grow up.

Mrs. Wen also smiled.

The two sisters-in-law said a lot about this.

After Mrs. Shan left, Mrs. Wen leaned against the head of the bed, looking thoughtfully at the eight-treasure cloud-patterned incense burner under the window lattice.

Seeing that the eldest lady was in a daze again, the mother-in-law at the side couldn't help sighing silently from the bottom of her heart.

Speaking of which, the Ji painter hadn't been here for seven or eight days, and I don't know if he had given up his picks and stopped painting—she was looking at the little girl who was like a peach and plum, and was said to be too playful, but she was not very good. reliable.

But the eldest lady is clearly interested.

I just hope that the eldest lady will not be too disappointed in the future.

The mother-in-law thought about it, so she smiled and talked about some trivial matters at home, distracting Mrs. Wen from her thoughts.

……

From the capital to Yingzhou, Hengyu, who has always been regarded as an unreliable person, has just put away his pen at this time, and is looking at the portrait in front of him that is still wet.

Jiji, who was tidying up the table, subconsciously glanced at it with her head tilted, and said, "Perhaps I have seen it too much recently. Every time the girl draws a picture, I feel familiar."

This is just a casual remark.

After all, the deduced portrait of her girl is not imagined out of thin air, but is based on the portrait when she was a child, and then inferred according to the acquired environment. In the final analysis, it is "the same person", and it is normal to have similarities.

Therefore, Jiji only looked at it once, and then withdrew her gaze.

Just thinking, my girl is really amazing, not only strong in knowledge and knowledge, but also extremely talented in calligraphy and painting, but also has a clear and sharp mind, and excellent perception - even His Royal Highness the eldest princess said that the girl's only deduction ability, But others can't learn it, and they can't teach it.

However, Heng Yu gradually frowned because of concentrating on thinking, and said to himself: "It looks familiar, as if I have seen it somewhere..."

Jiji paused as she cleaned up the colored ink.

What the girl said looks familiar, is it "familiar" that she has seen before? !

Jiji also looked intently, but after looking at it for a long time, she didn't see why: "Did the girl look at it for a long time, and it overlapped with the portrait in her mind?"

"No... Absolutely not." Heng Yu shook his head slightly, exerted some strength with the hand holding the corner of the drawing paper, and said firmly: "It's a sense of resemblance—"

The biggest difference between this painting and the previous one is the expression between the eyebrows and eyes.

Heng Yu concentrated her attention, closed her eyes, and the faces of women of similar age flashed through her mind.

After all, it is just a deduction of the portrait, and the sense of resemblance is very slight, and it is extremely difficult to capture...

But her feeling can't go wrong easily!
In the blink of an eye, a cold and serious face suddenly appeared.

Lord Xiaohou!
Heng Yu suddenly opened his eyes.

It's not that the sense of resemblance comes from Lord Xiaohou, but Lord Xiaohou is related to that blurred silhouette!
It's like... a relationship that once appeared together!
