"It doesn't matter if you don't want to go in, why are you trying to stop me? I'm a girl! What are you afraid of? Could it be that I will be eaten by those girls?!"
Sheng Anqing returned to the general's mansion still a little aggrieved, muttering to vent her dissatisfaction.
Lin Hanyi turned a deaf ear and stared at Sheng Anqing expressionlessly with a cold face. Her voice became softer and quieter until her expression softened a little.
"The eldest lady has a distinguished status, so it's better not to enter a place like that."
Gu Yanxiu had been silent at first, but now he saw Sheng Anqing lowering his head and not saying anything, so he persuaded her gently.
Sheng Anqing actually knew in her heart what these two men were thinking. It was for her own good. She pursed her lips and nodded.
"Oh, I know, what's going on with you! You've made me, the eldest lady, lose all face!"
After saying that, she reached out and pushed the two of them, and said while pushing: "Okay, okay, you guys go back quickly! I'm going to find my grandma."
Gu Yanxiu has always had his own small courtyard in the General's Mansion. Lin Hanyi has also been assigned a small courtyard since the last incident. Although it is not big, it is already much better than the old thatched cottage before.
.
After saying goodbye to Sheng Anqing, he returned to his residence alone and stood at the door. Lin Hanyi did not go in, but raised his head slightly and looked at the small courtyard.
Although he rejected Sheng Anqing's idea of allocating a few servants for him, there were still several rooms in the small courtyard, and they were all empty and unoccupied at the moment. Such a large general's mansion did not lack such a small space.
Land.
But such a small area is now all he has.
As Lin Hanyi thought about it, Sheng Anqing's charming and smiling face popped into her mind.
The eldest lady is such a noble person. Not only is General Sheng Gaofeng her father, but Lieutenant Liu's daughter Liu Yi is her mother-in-law. Even the current emperor recognized her as his goddaughter because of his close relationship with Sheng Gaofeng.
.
Even if Sheng Anqing leaves the general's mansion and goes to the palace, others will still call her princess.
For such a person, even if there is a secret joy in his heart, how can he say it out loud?
Lin Hanyi walked into the room slowly. He sat at the table, took out a wooden hairpin from his arms, and stared at his hair in a daze.
He actually saw the hosta that Gu Yanxiu bought. It was the one that the eldest lady really liked, but he didn't have much money in his pocket. If he bought that one, he might not be able to buy the eldest lady her favorite food.
something.
Therefore, he could only pretend not to see it, but his heart was filled with inferiority.
Lin Hanyi sat awake all night from the darkening sky until dawn. He blinked his sour eyes and gently rubbed the wooden hairpin with his fingers.
The hairpin is actually very beautiful. Although it is carved from wood, the craftsmanship is very exquisite and it does not look cheap.
But this does not mean that it is something worth giving away.
After a long time, Lin Hanyi gently put it into his pocket, stood up, and walked out.
He had a bold idea in his mind. Although he didn't know whether it could be realized, he would always give it a try.
When you have someone you want to protect in your heart, you can no longer be a coward.
Lin Hanyi went straight to Sheng Gaofeng's study. When he saw the servant guarding the door at the door, he lowered his head slightly and asked him in a hoarse voice to help him report.
The servants of the General's Mansion no longer had the same attitude towards Lin Hanyi as before because of the prosperous times during this period. At this moment, they only glanced at him lightly, nodded, and whispered: "
The general is currently handling official business in the study, I can only ask for you, it is not certain whether you can go in."
Lin Hanyi was already very grateful for these words.
After a while, the servant came out and motioned to him to let him in.
After Lin Hanyi entered, she immediately saw Sheng Fengfeng sitting in front of the desk facing the door, looking down at the scroll.
Even when he came in, Sheng Gaofeng did not raise his head, but simply ignored him, as if he didn't know someone had come in.
Lin Hanyi stood by the door for two seconds. After gently closing the door, he did not choose to disturb Sheng Gaofeng. Instead, he walked a few steps to the side and stood aside with his hands behind his back, his head slightly lowered and he stood quietly.
.
After standing for nearly half an hour, the books in Sheng Gaofeng's hands had changed several volumes. He then let out a long yawn, raised his head, and saw that Lin Hanyi didn't show any surprise. He looked like he just knew.
But I just meant to let him stand.
When Lin Hanyi saw Sheng Gaofeng looking over, he looked over with doubt, as if silently asking, does he have time?
Sheng Gaofeng nodded, waved to Lin Hanyi, and pointed to the lower chair.
"Sit here."
Lin Hanyi then walked over, but instead of sitting on the chair, he slowly knelt down in front of Sheng Gaofeng.
His expression was very sincere, and even when he knelt down in front of others, there was no expression of shame on his face.
Sheng Gaofeng raised his eyebrows, leaned back in his chair, folded his hands in front of his chest, and asked in a deep voice: "What do you mean?"
Lin Hanyi had no intention of hiding his purpose. He looked at Sheng Gaofeng sincerely, his eyes flickering slightly.
"General, I have a heartfelt request."
"Then say it."
Sheng Gaofeng obviously didn't like to delay his speech, so his tone was a bit serious.
Lin Hanyi pursed her lips, raised her head, and looked over with earnest eyes.
"I heard that the emperor is selecting suitable generals to fight against the Huns who want to invade our northern border. It is precisely for this reason that I came to the study to disturb the general."
"I hope the general can let me go out of the palace to join the army and serve the court."
After saying that, Lin Hanyi kowtowed heavily to Sheng Gaofeng.
In this battle, General Sheng Gaofeng will definitely not be allowed to fight. Then, the second-grade general will lead the army. Although Lin Hanyi has always been unpopular in the general's mansion, it is precisely because of this that he sees
I also learned a lot from the books my grandma brought back before she passed away.
These include physical fitness and some melee combat knowledge.
When the days were boring and the nights were sleepless, he would practice the movements in the album over and over again.
Therefore, Lin Hanyi came up with this method.
He was alone, and there was only one way to improve his status as quickly as possible. Even if it cost his life, he had to go.
Sheng Gaofeng was surprised for a moment when he heard Lin Hanyi's words.
He thought of several reasons why the child came here, maybe because he felt that he was too neglectful of him, which made him suffer a lot in the mansion, or maybe there were servants in the mansion who bullied him and deprived him of food, housing and transportation...
But I didn't expect that this kid would actually join the army.
This made Sheng Gaofeng raise his eyes slightly, showing interest.
He groaned, leaned forward, put his right elbow on the table, and held his chin with his palm, and asked with interest: "Join the army? Why do you have such an idea?"
When Lin Hanyi heard that he didn't refuse directly, he calmly breathed a sigh of relief.
Naturally, he wouldn't say it was for the person he liked. After all, the person he liked was the only daughter of the general in front of him. If he said it... he would probably die.
With a stern look on his face, Lin Hanyi said righteously: "As a man, if I have never gone out to see the world, how can I have the dignity to be called a man? A man's passion is everywhere. Although I was born to a mother who made mistakes.
, is not the biological son of the General, but after all, he has been called the General’s father for several years, so how can he not inherit the character of the General?”
"The general's heroic demeanor on the battlefield in the past will make anyone look at him with respect and admiration. Although I am only a fourteen-year-old man now, I should still go out and experience it. Ordinary people also have men in their early ten years who go out to do it.
I want to work hard, I grew up in the General's Mansion, so how can I not try my best?"
"Repelling the Huns for our country, protecting the people, and guarding the city-state are what every passionate man should do. There is no need to be afraid, because this is an honor!"
Lin Hanyi said these words loudly and forcefully, and Lin Hanyi's expression became more and more serious, and his look became more and more serious. Although he was speaking to General Sheng, was this not what he was thinking in his heart?
A man with ambitions all over the world, how could he accept living in the general's mansion for the rest of his life, paying for food and clothing while watching others support him?!
He wants to carve out a world for himself so that he can give the people he likes a sense of security.
Now it's just a few years too early to go out and make a living.
Sheng Gaofeng looked shocked when he heard Lin Hanyi say these words without any hesitation.
He stared at Lin Hanyi's eyes in surprise, trying to see any other thoughts in them.
But...no.
Nothing at all.
Some are just passionate!
After a long time, he suddenly laughed out loud.
"Hahaha! Okay! Okay, what a man with ambitions in all directions, such a man who strives for glory. I am very happy for you that you have such an idea!"
"If you have already made up your mind, then I will naturally not stop you from leaving the house. A man's future should indeed be worked hard by himself. He must shed blood and sweat to carve a world for himself!"
"But let me say it first. I won't give you any help. If you want to join the army, you have to climb up from the bottom by yourself!"
This is natural.
Lin Hanyi nodded and responded.
Even if General Sheng had not said this, he would not have sought other help. Joining the army was his own decision and had nothing to do with anyone. Naturally, he should make his own way.
After everything was agreed upon, Lin Hanyi did not leave directly. He knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Sheng Gaofeng solemnly again, looking at him with eyes full of respect and yearning.
Sheng Gaofeng, this is his goal and his pursuit all the time. Those times when dangers were saved and defeats were turned into victories, the man in front of the bookcase became a well-deserved general in everyone's heart!
A country cannot live without a king for a day, nor can it be without this brave and capable general.
