Chapter 542: Helan Mansion (Part 1)
Cao Tiancheng looked at Gao Yuan and his wife, who suddenly changed direction under the guards, and was stunned, "Where are you going, General?"
Sun Xiao shook his head. Most of the residents on this street were senior officials of Zhengdong Prefecture. How could he guess where Gao Yuan was going?
"Maybe, General Gao and his men are going to Helan Mansion!" A weak voice came from the side. Cao Tiancheng turned around and looked at his daughter, almost unable to believe his ears: "Lian'er, what did you say?"
Cao Lian'er took a step back timidly, half of her body shrunk behind Sun Xiao, "I said, General Gao and the young lady might go to Helan's house."
Sun Xiao turned his head and looked at his little wife, "Lian'er, have you told Madam anything?"
Cao Lian'er nodded, "Yes."
"How much did you say?" Sun Xiao's voice changed a little. The matter between Gao Yuan and Helan Yan was almost known to everyone among the senior officials of the Eastern Expedition Army, and it was widely spread, but everyone tacitly kept it secret from Ye Jing'er. Although Jiang Jiaquan had already planned this matter, with their maturity, they would naturally choose a suitable time to clarify this matter with Ye Jing'er, and it would not be Cao Lian'er who went to clarify it.
Cao Lian'er has been with Ye Jing'er for several years and they have a deep relationship. This is known to everyone. If Cao Lian'er were to speak, it would be very likely to turn a good thing into a very bad thing.
"I've said it all. I've told Miss everything you told me." Cao Lian'er suddenly raised her head, "I think it's wrong for you to hide it from Miss like this."
Sun Xiao was so anxious that he jumped up and down. Cao Tiancheng was so angry that he raised his hand and wanted to slap him, but he looked at Sun Xiao and put it down again, "You naive little girl. What do you know? You've caused trouble."
Cao Lian'er was so angry that he raised his hand and wanted to slap him. Suddenly he became stubborn, "What did I do wrong? I just told the young lady about this matter."
"You know nothing!" In a hurry, Cao Tiancheng's true colors were exposed, "If it was an ordinary person, it would be fine. At most, it would be a disagreement between a young couple, but what is the status of the general, and what is the status of the Helan family? If the lady makes a fuss today, it will lead to civil strife in Zhengdong Prefecture. If it gets serious, it will affect the discord between the Yan people and the Xiongnu people in Jishi City, and all the general's previous efforts will be in vain."
Cao Lian'er stood there in a daze. When had she thought so much?
"Old Cao, what should we do now?" In a hurry, Sun Xiao completely forgot that Cao Tiancheng was already his father-in-law, and blurted out the old name.
"I'll go to Helan Mansion right away, too.
Sun Xiao, you go report the news. Go find Jiang Yizheng first, then send someone to find Wu Kai."
"Should we call Ye Chong and Ye Zhen?"
"Are you stupid? How can we call Ye Chong and Ye Zhen at this time? They used to be Madam's family generals. If we go, they will have to support Madam!" Cao Tiancheng shook his head repeatedly.
"Okay, I'll go to Jiang Yizheng right away." Sun Xiao left immediately.
"Wait a minute!" Cao Tiancheng suddenly realized, "What did you call me just now?"
"Old Cao!" Sun Xiao blurted out three words again. Suddenly seeing Cao Lian'er on the side, he suddenly realized and showed an embarrassed look on his face. "I'm leaving, in a hurry!" He ran away like a fly.
Cao Tiancheng snorted, lifted his robe, and ran after Gao Yuan and his group who had already gone far away. Anyway, everyone lived very close, which saved a lot of trouble.
As he got closer to Helan's house, Gao Yuan became more and more uneasy. Looking at Ye Jing'er's expression, he was sure that the things between him and Helanyan had been known by Ye Jing'er. And he also thought clearly about the reason. It must be that Sun Xiao told this matter to his little wife Cao Lian'er as a casual anecdote, and Cao Lian'er told Ye Jing'er.
I have to deal with Sun Xiao later. This big mouth, who flatters his wife, doesn't think about the relationship between Cao Lian'er and Ye Jing'er. Now I'm in trouble.
Speaking of which, there is no substantial action between Gao Yuan and Helanyan, but Gao Yuan himself knows that in the face of Helanyan's offensive and affectionate confession, he is not unmoved, nor does he dislike Helanyan, but because of the little bit of perseverance in his heart, the two have always remained rational.
This should be considered mental derailment! Gao Yuan sighed. He didn't want to hurt Ye Jing'er's heart, but now it seems that he has not only hurt Helan Yan's heart, but also Ye Jing'er's heart. If he had known this, he should have confessed to Ye Jing'er in time, which would have been much better than now.
Seeing that Helan Mansion was right in front of him, Gao Yuan also made up his mind. It was a blessing, not a disaster. No matter how angry Jing'er was, he couldn't let Helan Xiong be alienated from Zhengdong Mansion because of this, nor could he let the Xiongnu people who had just surrendered have a different heart because of this.
There were hurried footsteps behind him. Gao Yuan turned around and saw Cao Tiancheng rushing over. Although Cao Tiancheng came from the army, Gao Yuan had never asked him to participate in military training since Fufeng. Cao Tiancheng, who had been in charge of military logistics for many years, had been doing paperwork for many years, so his physical fitness was naturally worrying. At this moment, he was anxious and ran all the way to chase him, so he was naturally exhausted.
"Lao Cao?" Gao Yuan widened his eyes. He was surprised, but secretly happy that someone had finally come to save the situation.
"Captain... Governor!" Cao Tiancheng tried hard to show a bright smile, but his lungs were burning like fire, which made his smile really ugly. "I heard that the Governor is going to Helan Mansion. It just happened to be , this year’s Chinese New Year, I haven’t gone to his house to pay New Year greetings, and I happened to be going there with the governor. I don’t dare to go alone. As soon as I go to Helan Mansion, that guy He Lanxiong will fight with me for a drink. I am such an old man. , How to compete with him, drink every time and lose every time, I tremble when I hear him shouting for a drink. "
Gao Yuan coughed a few times, but thanks to Cao Tiancheng, who came panting, he was able to find this excuse in a short time.
"Okay, okay, let's go together today. If he wants to fight you for a drink, I'll support you. We won't stop until we get him drunk." Gao Yuan quickly answered, squinting as he spoke. Ye Jing'er.
Ye Jing'er still had a smile on her lips, obviously not taking it seriously, but she didn't look back to say hello to Cao Tiancheng, but she walked even faster, obviously angry in her heart, Gao Yuan winked at Cao Tiancheng, Ye Jing'er Bingxue is smart, how could she not guess what Cao Tiancheng is doing here in such a hurry?
Cao Tiancheng took several deep breaths, finally regained his composure, and quietly made a few gestures to indicate that Sun Xiao had gone to move reinforcements. Gao Yuan felt more at ease. After a while, more people came, and Ye Naturally, Jing'er won't have an attack. After she goes back, she can talk to her properly and apologize!
In front of the gate of Helan Mansion, the two guards guarding the gate were surprised to see Gao Yuan and his wife, Cao Tiancheng and others coming hand in hand, and hurried forward to greet them.
"Meet the Governor."
Gao Yuan nodded, "Today we are here to pay New Year greetings to General Helan. Is General Helan at home?"
"At home, at home!" The guard nodded repeatedly, "Commander, please." While reaching out to move everyone inside, he motioned to another guard to quickly report inside.
"No need, we are not outsiders. We can go in by ourselves. You guys should guard the door. Maybe many adults will come over later!" Ye Jing'er suddenly said.
The guard who was about to run in to report the news was stunned and blinked at his companion.
"Yes, yes, there is no need to report the news, my brother, there are so many etiquettes." Gao Yuan smiled bitterly, Ye Jing'er had already guessed Cao Tiancheng's back-up plan, and was afraid that the anger accumulated in her heart would become heavier.
Cao Tiancheng also had a grimace on his face. He had never seen Ye Jing'er with such a powerful side. Usually when he saw her, she was gentle, gentle, delicate and timid.
Ye Jing'er took the lead, and everyone drove straight in, walked straight back, and crossed the moon gate of the front and back halls. What they saw made everyone stunned.
On the school field, there are two horses side by side. One is He Lanxiong, and the other is a woman in Huns clothing. She is holding a bow in her hand, bending the bow and setting an arrow, aiming at a target in the distance.
But that's not the point. The point is that He Lanxiong's upper body leaned forward, helping the woman hold the bow with one hand, and holding the woman's hand with the other hand to help her pull the bow string. This posture of He Lanxiong naturally made the woman hold the bow. The woman was almost in his arms.
With a whoosh, the arrow shot out of the string like a shooting star, hitting the target dozens of steps away. The woman cheered loudly.
Gao Yuan, Ye Jing'er and Cao Tiancheng all looked at the woman's profile with their mouths open. They all recognized that this was Wu Kai's precious daughter Wu Xinlian. Some time ago, Gao Yuan proposed marriage to He Lanxiong for Wu Xinlian, but didn't He Lanxiong refuse? , it only took a few days for the two of them to get together? This gesture left everyone thinking endlessly.
"Good arrow!" After the shock, the first thing Gao Yuan felt was a burst of joy. He clapped his hands and slowly walked into the school grounds.
Hearing the applause, He Lanxiong and Wu Xinlian, who were fully focused, turned their heads together. At this time, they still maintained their previous postures.
"Good arrows!" Gao Yuan clapped, "Good arrows make people even better. Brother Helan, I'm so excited!"
Hearing Gao Yuan's teasing, He Lanxiong realized that there was something wrong with his and Wu Xinlian's postures. He let go of his hands as if he was electrocuted, turned over and dismounted, and walked towards the crowd, his old face was red.
"Why are you here?"
"It's really an unfortunate time!" Cao Tiancheng laughed loudly and turned to look at Gao Yuan, "Commander, how about we come back another day?"
"You're already here, why don't you come back another day? Lao Cao, I think you want to enjoy being carried back again, right?" He Lanxiong looked at Cao Tiancheng with evil intentions.
"I have reinforcements today!" Cao Tiancheng tilted his thumb back and said triumphantly: "Who is lying down?"
Helan smiled wildly, "You mean the Governor? I can't compare to the Governor in other matters, but when it comes to drinking? Haha, who in Zhengdong Mansion doesn't know the Governor's drinking capacity? Three bowls are enough!"
Gao Yuan's face was slightly red, and his drinking capacity was indeed not good. He Lanyan drank one bowl, while he drank three bowls. (To be continued...)
