Hold On, General

33. Marriage

“Little Chinese cabbage, the ground is yellow, two or three years old, there is no mother…”

“…Wang Ye, breakfast is ready.”

“Flowers are the most precious when they bloom, and they wither when they fall. Who is to blame for missing the flowering period? Flowers need money to comfort, ah~ money to comfort…”

“…Wang Ye,” Wei Xiaoan said, “This minion cooked your favourite porridge today, and brought it to you?”

“You will never understand my sadness, like the darkness of the night during the day, like the eternal burning sun, and the lack of the moon,” Genius Long silently nested in the innermost part of the big bed, facing the wall, the quilt was casually covered, and there was a little red mark on the exposed shoulder. At first glance, it was someone’s masterpiece. He didn’t even look back, “You will never understand my sadness, like the darkness of the night during the day, I don’t understand why the straight man bends…”

“…Wang Ye?”

“Feixue in June, three years of drought, I’m wronged, wronged–” Genius Long finally turned over, looked at him calmly, and hooked his fingers, “Wei Xiaoan, you can talk to this king, why is this king so wronged, huh?”

Wei Xiaoan was trembling all over when he saw him: “Slave, slave, I don’t know…”

Genius Long raised his voice: “I don’t know?”

Wei Xiaoan knelt down with a thump: “Wang Ye forgives this minion’s life. The minion should not fail to inform in advance, he should not stay by the prince’s side, let alone encourage the general to climb the wall. This minion knows the crime and begs Wang Ye to spare their lives…”

Genius Long quickly got up wrapped in a quilt and sat on the bed: “What are you talking about? Did you let him climb the wall? You are so courageous!”

“Wang Ye forgives this minion’s life,” Wei Xiaoan begged for mercy again and again, paused, and whispered, “Wang Ye, even if this minion didn’t talk much last night, the general would probably crawl over…”

“……”

“Wang Ye, don’t you think so?”

Genius Long glanced over, Wei Xiaoan shivered when he settled down, and hurriedly lowered his head.

When General Gu came in with porridge, he saw this picture. Xiao Wang Ye was dishevelled and wrapped in a quilt in the middle of the big bed. His expression was hideous as if he had just crawled back from hell.

“……”

He was silent for a while and walked slowly. When Wei Xiaoan saw him, he immediately felt like he had been pardoned, and hurriedly got up and retired.

“Wei Xiaoan,” Genius Long stretched his voice lazily, “Did I let you go? Who is your master, huh?”

Wei Xiaoan paused abruptly, and General Gu glanced at him and waved his hand: “Go out, I’ll be here.”

Wei Xiaoan hesitated, raised his eyes and saw General Gu put the porridge aside, walk to the big bed and hug Xiao Wang Ye into his arms. He looked very intimate. He hurriedly lowered his head and went out with interest.

“…” Genius Long was angry, “Wei Xiaoan! You give it to this king…huh?！”

General Gu picked him up and walked to the table to sit down, let him sit on his lap, lowered his head and kissed him on the lips, and touched his head: “Stop it.”

“Where’s the money?”

General Gu stretched out his hand and took the porridge from the side, “Do you drink it by yourself or do I feed it?””

“Where’s the money?”

“……”

“What’s your expression? This king is not even as good as Xiaochou in Xiaochou Pavilion now. Xiaochou still has money to take after serving others. What do I have? What? What do you say I have?！”

“……”

Genius Long knew he would be silent, and snorted angrily. He grasped the quilt with one hand and stretched out the other from the quilt. He took the teacup on the table and prepared to drink water to moisten his overused throat. The quilt was torn apart because of this action, and ambiguous traces on the clavicle could be vaguely seen.

General Gu looked at it in silence for a while, and said seriously: “Let’s get married.”

Genius Long was originally drinking tea with his head down, but when he heard the words, he immediately raised his head, opened his mouth, and all the tea was sprayed on his face.

“……”

“……”

The two looked at each other for a long time, and Genius Long silently pulled up the man’s sleeve and handed it over, asking him to wipe his face: “Here, I didn’t mean to.”

General Gu wiped the water from his face firmly, and said seriously: “It doesn’t look like it.”

“……”

The bowl of porridge was also spared. General Gu had to put him back on the bed, serve another bowl, and wash his face by the way. When he came back, Xiao Wang Ye had already gotten up from the bed with a hum and was putting on clothes in a mess.

“I’ll do it.” He said and walked over to tidy up his clothes for him.

Genius Long stood and let him do it, and when he was done, he slowly rubbed it away for a simple wash, then sat back at the table, and then his expression was weird for a moment when he sat down, his forehead jumped slightly, and he silently began to drink porridge.

General Gu sat down beside him and whispered, “We are…”

Genius Long didn’t wait for him to finish speaking, he raised his head, still holding a mouthful of porridge in his mouth, and looked at him quietly, waiting for his next words.

“…” General Gu swallowed the words back silently.

Genius Long then lowered his head and continued to drink, then rubbed his devastated waist and got up while humming.

General Gu thought for a while: “Shall I rub it for you?”

Genius Long looked at him for a long time, and finally lay down on the bed slowly, pointing to his waist: “Here.”

General Gu sat on the side of the bed, stretched out his hand and slowly kneaded it. Xiao Wang Ye hummed comfortably. He looked down at a small part of the man’s neck and whispered, “Wang Ye.”

Genius Long hummed: “In addition to letting me marry you, let’s listen to other things.”

“……”

“Let me tell you, marriage is the grave of love,” Genius Long said, “Would you like to go to the grave?”

General Gu replied honestly: “If I am with you, I am willing.”

“……”

“Wang Ye?”

“What? What?” Genius Long looked up and looked around, “Oh, sorry, I fell asleep just now, did you say anything? I didn’t hear anything, really.”

“……”

Genius Long took the man’s hand away, got up slowly, and said lazily: “I think the weather is good today, so I’m going out for a stroll.”

“…” General Gu followed with a sullen head. His heirloom jade pendant, which symbolizes a token of love, has long been given to Xiao Wang Ye, and he finally succeeded in putting this person to sleep last night, so he should have married him, but Xiao Wang Ye obviously didn’t have the mind in this regard…He thought for a while, Xiao Wang Ye now had amnesia, so the emperor gave him special permission to concentrate on staying with Xiao Wang Ye these few days, without having to go to the court or go to the schoolyard, plus it will be the Mid-Autumn Festival in a few days, so he can stay with this person recently.

He secretly decided that he must find a way to marry this person back.

The needle on Genius Long’s head had already been pulled out, so he slowly walked out of the mansion and wandered down the street: “Where do you think we are going?”

General Gu thought awhile: “Didn’t you promise Zenan’s prince to go to the hall?” He was startled as he said, secretly saying that it would be great if this person could restore his memory. Xiao Wang Ye is Xiao Wang Ye, but he has a little more admiration for him, so he will definitely agree to the marriage, he said: “Go, let the princess see it.”

“No,” Genius Long said, “I don’t want to see that monster.”

General Gu emphasized: “You are going to find the princess.”

“That’s not the same,” Genius Long rolled his eyes, “That monster will definitely come to me when he sees me.”

“But Wang Ye, your illness…”

Genius Long suddenly looked at him suspiciously: “You have never cared about my illness before, why are you suddenly so concerned now, huh?”

“……”

“Don’t think that if you pretend to be deep, I don’t know what you are thinking,” Genius Long said, “You are dead with this heart!”

“……”

Genius Long snorted, raised his feet and continued to stroll, stopped suddenly after taking two steps, and thought for a while: “Let’s go, go to the hall.”

“…” General Gu said, “Wang Ye, you are not…”

“Hey, I figured it out,” Genius Long turned to look at him, with a shiny light in his eyes, “Think about the appearance of that demon, so it is estimated that even if his sister is not a peerless beauty, it is not far away. It’s a pity not to look at it. Hey, the important thing is that she still knows medical skills. She must be a kind person, oh, fairy sister~”

“……”

Genius Long rushed towards the hall happily. Xiang Honghui had been waiting for a long time. When he saw him, he got up with a smile and greeted him. Genius Long endured the discomfort in his heart and followed him to another room. There is a faint fragrance, and the smell is refreshing.

He immediately asked excitedly: “Where is the princess? Let her out quickly.”

That was almost the same as visiting a youth hostel. General Gu was silent for a while. Xiang Honghui didn’t mind. He walked in with a smile, and then only listened to the crisp sound of the bead curtain, and slowly walked out of the sandalwood screen alone.

Genius Long was stunned on the spot, what does a fairy go down to earth, this called! Look at this temperament, look at this figure, and then look at this face. How many people want this beauty! The important thing is that she is not like that monster, she has no evil aura on her body, and he instantly feels that she is worth it.

General Gu endured it, and finally stepped forward and whispered, “Wang Ye, Wang Ye, Wang Ye?”

Genius Long regained his senses a little bit, and said dryly: “Hello, Sister Fairy~”

“…” General Gu regretted very much. Why did he relent and spare this person yesterday? He knew it would be better to just let him lie down for a day.

On the other hand, the expressions of Xiang’s siblings did not change at all. The princess smiled at him and sat in a chair: “Bengong heard what royal brother said last night, Xiao Wang Ye, please reach out the hand.”

Genius Long obediently stretched out his hand and looked at her stupidly.

The princess took the pulse seriously, and her beautiful eyebrows frowned slightly: “It’s strange, from the pulse, Xiao Wang Ye’s body is not a big deal, how can you lose your memory…”

Genius Long smiled and said, “It is estimated that the person who woke up after fainting was too ugly to scare this king’s memory away.”

General Gu: “……”

The princess also smiled, took a close look at him, and praised: “Bengong has often heard people talk about Xiao Wang Ye along the way, but I didn’t expect Wang Ye to look so exquisite.”

Genius Long looked at her steadily: “How can you be so beautiful.”

Before General Gu could figure out how to drag this person away, he heard Xiang Honghui smile and said, “Xiao Wang Ye must be careful. There is something wrong with my sister. As long as they look beautiful, both men and women must be taken back to the palace by her, no matter what the identity of the other party is.”

“…” The perverted sister is indeed also a perverted! Genius Long opened his mouth, and then said weakly for a long time, “Can you use it…”

The princess glanced at him angrily: “What did Xiao Wang Ye say? The palace just likes to see beauties.”

“Then why don’t you bring a mirror by your side?”

“See how boring you are.”

“Yes, but if the Princess has taken a shine to them, the people in your palace are not bad looking, are they?”

Xiang Honghui smiled: “Xiao Wang Ye knows Yun Xian, those people in the She Mei Palace are better than him.”

Genius Long was quiet for a second, then burst into tears: “You can take me away.”

“…” General Gu decided to marry this man back soon and let him lie in bed for a day if he didn’t obey.

The princess giggled a few times: “It’s not impossible, but Xiao Wang Ye is definitely under pressure to get there like this, you can think about it.”

“…” Genius Long said, “Isn’t there a woman?”

“This is strange to say,” the princess said with a smile. “The women in the palace like women, so those men can only like men…”

“…” Genius Long watched the brothers and sisters smiling and laughing in front of him, his heart trembled, secretly saying that these two were worthy of being brothers and sisters, he couldn’t stay in the monster’s base camp, and hurriedly got up to leave.

The princess couldn’t let him come in vain, so she lowered her head and wrote a prescription for him to go back and try, while Xiang Honghui sent them out. Genius Long looked around and said, “Where does Yun Xian live?”

Xiang Honghui was just about to speak when he saw a man walking in the cloister and whispered: “The prince, the palace has sent someone. The Emperor of Shenghua invites you to the palace.”

“Well, this king is going now,” Xiang Honghui said, “You take Xiao Wang Ye to the courtyard of Gushu.”
“Yes.”

Genius Long looked at his back and secretly said that the people he met who were not afraid of Xiang Honghui could count on one hand. The princess was because she was the same kind as this person. Zhan Ling Yan was too deep in Taoism, while facial paralysis and his eldest brother took too long to reflex. Among them, his eldest brother is the most incredible. He actually regards this person as a fairy. He really wants to know his judgment criteria.

Just when he was out of his mind, he went to the front of the courtyard where Zhan Ling Yan was located. The person he led saluted and went back, leaving them waiting outside.

Yun Xian was forced to discuss the marriage with Zhan Ling Yan. When he heard him coming, he immediately got up and ran out: “Brother~” He ran to the front, suddenly stunned, looked at the thing on the person’s neck, then suddenly stepped forward and squeezed the person’s waist. Suddenly, he heard his muffled hum, and immediately laughed: “Oh hahaha~ You are crushed, you are finally crushed too~ Hahaha~ I am mentally balanced~ Let’s go, I will get you a red envelope!”

“……”

Yun Xian’s face was full of excitement, and he pulled him into the house in good spirits.

Genius Long squinted at him: “I was just pressed once. How many times have you been pressed?”

“……”

“Oh, not only are you being suppressed, you are still being locked up and suppressed, and you are also being bewitched. You can’t even go to the youth house. Oh, it’s pitiful.”

“……”

So when these people entered the house and Zhan Ling Yan was about to come over and hug his wife, they saw the latter look at him coldly: “Don’t touch me!”

“…” Zhan Ling Yan immediately turned his gaze to someone, someone shrank in his arms with facial paralysis, the cattle fork was booming, and he was not afraid of anything. He looked at him indifferently, dare to yin me, Lao Tzu can give you a good time!

“Xiao Yun Xian, where’s the red envelope?”

“No more.”

“……” Genius Long wanted to pound the table, his mouth was cheap, and his money was gone again, he looked at Zhan Ling Yan and turned his eyes, “Xiao Yun Xian, will you accompany your brother to go shopping outside?”

“Where can I go shopping?”

Genius Long blinked: “Why don’t…let’s go find Xiaohua, what’s the matter?”

Yun Xian also blinked, got up and said, “Go~”

The difference between Genius Long and Yun Xian is that Yun Xian never takes the initiative to provoke those he can’t afford to provoke. It is usually others who provoke him, but Genius Long is not. He knows that he is not an opponent, but he still can’t help but pluck the hair from the tiger’s head. This is also the reason why his hands are cheap.

He glanced at Zhan Ling Yan, who was about to get up, and said slowly, “Xiao Yun Xain is idle, the road is crowded, remember not to leave your man half a step, lest you come back and be pressed again.”

“…” Yun Xian looked sideways at Zhan Ling Yan, “I want to go by myself, as you said, I can go wherever I want.”

“…” Zhan Ling Yan squinted at Genius Long, his eyes were dark, and there was a touch of coldness in the depths of his eyes, but the corners of his mouth could still maintain a smile.

Genius Long shook suddenly, only to feel that he was creepy with a smile, and hurriedly pulled Yun Xian and ran away.

“Xiao Yun Xian, if your man will deal with me in the future, you will have to cover your brother. I still think he is a bit scary…”

Someone shivered, kept thinking about it, and walked slowly towards Xiaohua’s residence.

“…” General Gu was silent all the way, and he could almost imagine Bai Lian’s expression when he saw these two people coming to the door.
