C28 The Great General's Unpolished Jade

At first, there weren't many customers in the store, but Yun Shu could manage it all by herself. By noon, however, more and more people had come to grab the medicine. Although Pei Hongqing had put down his teacup to help, he was still a bit busy. Yun Zhuang had almost gotten the medicine wrong several times, but fortunately, Sang Ye had come back before the two of them had ruined the reputation of the medicine shop.

Seeing their flustered expressions, Sang Ye immediately took off his basket and put it to the side. "You guys can go rest for a while. I can come here by myself."

Yun Shu, who had been busy the whole morning, naturally had time to spare. She left the counter a step earlier than Pei Hongqing and sat on a chair to pour herself a cup of hot tea. After all the guests had left, she stood up and looked at Sang Ye, who was busy cleaning up the mess behind the counter.

Sang Ye immediately turned his head to look at her. Why was she here again? I clearly told her to let her big brother deliver her eggs in the future. " With a frown of impatience, he turned his head back, and continued to lower his head to tidy it up.

"So it turns out that he was calling her 'Xiang Qiao'. What a cute name, and her appearance is also very cute." As she spoke to here, Yun Shu raised her hand and stroked her chin a few times. "However, from your tone, it seems that I don't really want someone to come and find you?"

"I'm a young lady who has yet to leave the pavilion, it's not good to show off too often." Sang Ye answered seriously.

Yun Shu suddenly thought of the expression she had when she saw her this morning and said teasingly, "Cousin, so you're actually worried about me treating you like a girl. I think that I'm interested in you as well. Cousin, have you never thought of getting a family? " She then knocked the counter gently. She did not expect the light knocking sound to attract the attention of Pei Hongqing, who was reading an ancient book by the side. "Xiao Wan, if you have nothing else to do, please help your cousin carry the basket to the backyard."

Yun Shu gave two coy laughs, "How could I have nothing better to do? What I just said was not something that can be done carelessly, okay?" Although she said so, she still walked towards the basket on the side. She looked down and found not only herbs that had just been picked, but also all kinds of vegetables and a large piece of lamb wrapped in lotus leaves.

Sang Ye walked over, picked up the vegetables and lamb, and put it in her hand. After a moment of deliberation, he said to her in a casual tone, "Xiao Wan, just say these words in front of me. Don't say them to me."

When Sang Ye had looked at her just now, she had clearly seen the sort of worry in his eyes.

According to Sang Ye's current reaction, he was also interested in that Xiang girl. However, there was an insurmountable mountain between them, or rather, Sang Ye thought it was an insurmountable mountain.

When Sang Ye took the herbs from the basket to the backyard to dry, she carried the ingredients and followed behind him. When he stopped to pick up the herbs from the basket and put them into the sieve, she turned around and saw that only Pei Hongqing was there. She lowered her voice and asked him, "You don't want to develop further because you're afraid that she will discover your identity?"

After listening to her straightforward question, Sang Ye paused for a moment. "This is one of the herbs. Besides, I never thought about getting a family."

"What a pity that such a good girl. If only she could be my cousin …" Yun Zhuang sighed with emotion as he carried the food into the kitchen.

Sang Ye looked at someone who was too emotional and shook his head with a smile. He picked up the last of the herbs before returning to the front hall and sat down beside Pei Hongqing, "Just now, did you really hear what I said to Xiao Wan? I know what to do …"

Pei Hong Qing didn't shake her head or nod her head. She looked at him and pondered for a while, "Actually, I know that this is too unfair to you. However, in this world, there aren't many things that are completely fair. I apologize for the inconvenience. "

Sang Ye: "This was all agreed upon in advance, how could it be called grievance? However, Xiao Wan seems to be very keen on being a matchmaker, so I assume that you are also suffering from this? " With that, he turned over a clean teacup and poured himself a cup of hot tea.

Seeing that there was no one at the front hall, Pei Hongqing smiled and shook his head, "Xiao Wan always thought that I liked men. Do you think he still had the heart to be a matchmaker?"

Sang Ye almost vomited out the hot tea he just poured into his mouth. He forced himself to swallow the tea after a while, "No wonder Xiao Wan didn't want to sleep with you last night. "However, you won't really …"

"How is this possible? I went to see what Little Wan was doing in the kitchen. He put a dish in there for so long that if he took time off in the kitchen, all the food in the next few days would be taken away by him. " Pei Hongqing cut him off with a righteous look before walking into the backyard with her cane. However, doubt gradually arose in his heart — could he really not like men? That doesn't seem to be the case …

In the past, the distance between the main hall and the backyard was only a dozen steps. Perhaps it was because Sang Ye's words had stirred up something he had always been unwilling to think about, so every step he took now seemed like a life and death decision.

He thought back to his first meeting with Yin Yun in the military camp. At that time, he only felt that the boy who was seriously aiming at his target seemed to be deliberately suppressing something. He had never seen a recruit that could hide his strength like him. Since they had entered the army camp, who wouldn't want to make a name for themselves? He was the only one who wanted to hide himself, so he approached him, trying every possible means to carve this piece of unpolished jade for his use.

Even if Yin Yun wasn't pushed down by the two soldiers with whom he had a grudge against his friend, she might have died there too. At that time, the so-called 'elite soldiers' that he handed over to Yin Yun were indeed not that powerful, and among that squad of people, the only one that could be considered a true elite soldier of the Wuya Uighur Battalion was probably Yin Yun alone.

However, he had always believed that the value of a good piece of jade was not in the length of time it had existed, but in the fact that its destruction brought about much greater value than it itself.

But when he learned that he had died in the enemy camp, he stayed up all night. During that month, he could sometimes dream of him, but the dream Yin Yun wasn't questioning why he would push him to death, nor was she asking for his life. They had only met again and again in dreams similar to reality, and once he had been so preposterous as to dream of a woman in a woman's costume that he had been taken aback when he had changed into a woman's dress.

The face that had taken the red mark off was almost exactly the same as the face he had seen in his dream.

Actually, when Yin Yun asked him about the envelope in the cave, he lied. He had opened the envelope before. At that time, he thought that he was no longer in this world, so he wanted to open it. However, when he saw the word "marriage certificate" through the paper, he didn't have the mood to take out the entire letter and read it. Later on, when he found out that he risked his life to break into the barracks for this marriage contract, he realized how important it was to him.

That's right, if it wasn't important, why did he risk his life to barge into the military camp, and why did he continue to talk about saving his life for marriage after drinking too much?

Thus, even if he was truly interested in his subordinate, so what? If the difference between him and Yin Yun was mundane, he could ignore it. But they were separated by more than the secular world? What separated them was also that marriage contract that seemed to be very important to Yin Yun.

Thinking of this, Pei Hongqing could not help but let out a long sigh.

Yun Shu, who had come out of the kitchen pinching her index finger with her left hand, turned her head and saw this scene: "Grandma?" If she hadn't seen wrongly, why did that expression of Pei Hongqing's just now seem so sad?

Pei Hongqing's gaze landed on the spot where blood was dripping out from her index finger. "Why are you bleeding?"

"We sliced the meat just now, I'm going to find something to wrap it up." However, just as she finished speaking, she was pulled into the room by Pei Hongqing.

"Sit down." Pei Hongqing placed his hand on her shoulder to let her sit on a chair before hurriedly turning around to rummage through his backpack. He even forgot to cover up his original voice.

Seeing him cut open a piece of white cloth with a pair of scissors, Yun Zhui came over with a small porcelain bottle. "I can do it myself …"

Pei Hongqing was stunned for a moment before placing the bottle down heavily on the table beside him. "I did not say that I would help you bandage the wound. I will do it myself." With that, he turned and left.

As she sprinkled some medicinal powder around the wound, she took a small piece of cloth that she had cut beforehand to bandage the wound and muttered, "Anyway, I don't expect this esteemed one to help me bandage it." She would be grateful if her superiors would find out that they had not used her during her injury.

However, with just this small injury, would his superior be able to find out … Why didn't he use the key point when he was being cut?

Yun Shu resentfully stared at her finger that had been wrapped up like a small white radish for a long time.
