Xiao Rui had no choice but to glare at Xiao Changle who was gloating about his misfortune, turned around and said with a smile: "I can't answer this question. Xiangcheng and Shengnan, one is like an orchid in an empty valley, and the other is like a proud snowy plum blossom. Each has its own merits but never changes. Without meeting each other, let you two compete to see who is more beautiful? As long as you are not blind, you will definitely not be able to tell. "
Seeing Xiao Rui's awkward expression, the two women looked at each other and smiled, no longer embarrassed, Xiangcheng hummed softly: "You are smart, let me let you go once. Hurry up and eat."
"Wait a minute, I have another question..." Xiao Changle raised his hands and shouted.
Xiao Rui: Sister-in-law, what happened to you today? Are you trying to trick me to death?
"Brother-in-law, tell me, who is better-looking, me or my two sisters?"
He reached out and tapped the little guy's forehead, "You look good, you look good, okay?"
Hee hee... I also think I'm the prettiest.
Xiao Changle narrowed his eyes with satisfaction.
But everyone didn't know that only she knew the purpose of Xiao Changle's problem. No one else noticed it and thought it was a child's mischief.
"And, and... woohoo!"
Xiao Rui directly grabbed the little guy and covered her mouth, "If you ask any more questions, you will never be able to eat what you have today."
As expected, food was Changle's weakness, which scared her so much that she quickly waved her hands and begged for mercy.
After being let go, he ran to his sister Xiangcheng, turned around and made a face towards Xiao Rui.
I thought it was a fatal dinner, but unexpectedly the turbulent undercurrent in my imagination did not appear. Instead, it was like a real family, talking and laughing very cordially. In a daze, Xiao Rui couldn't believe it. Is this true? How come it's like dreaming?
This is the era. In this era, three wives and four concubines are the standard for successful men! (Should be in any era.)
Women have also agreed with this point of view since they were young. There are differences between wives and concubines, but there are also differences between people. Xiao Rui was lucky, Xiangcheng was generous, and he and Li Shengnan knew each other well. Li Shengnan is a martial arts practitioner and has a broad mind, so the two get along very well.
When eating at home, they always sit at separate tables. It was the first time Li Shengnan saw this, with several people eating around a round table.
And since he was a child, he has always been a tutor who eats and sleeps silently. This seems to be completely absent in this Zuixian Tower. It seems very normal for everyone to chat while eating.
Everything made Li Shengnan both novel and delighted. Although this is my first time, I really like this atmosphere. If you get married in the future and live like this every day, you should be very happy.
After eating, Xiangcheng offered to leave first, holding Chang Le's hand and saying, "We can't leave the palace for too long. I will take Chang Le back to the palace first. Remember to send Sister Sheng Nan back."
"No need, Sister Xiangcheng. I came here in a sedan chair myself. Let Brother Rui see you off."
"You're right, sister." Xiangcheng gave Xiao Rui a look, pulled Chang Le away with a smile.
In the private room on the second floor, the two people left behind for a private meeting, Xiao Rui seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, Li Shengnan covered his mouth and said with a smile: "You seem to be afraid of Sister Xiangcheng?"
Xiao Rui shook his head and sighed: "It's the hardest thing to bear the kindness of a beauty! It's fate between us, but I always feel sorry for Xiangcheng. The more generous she is, the more guilty I feel."
Li Shengnan tentatively asked, "How about I go back and tell my grandfather to cancel our engagement?"
Xiao Rui raised his eyebrows, "Who do you think I, Xiao Rui, am?"
Seeing Li Shengnan's cunning look, Xiao Rui stretched out his hand and pinched the beauty's pretty nose, "You are the wife that I, Xiao Rui, won through a martial arts competition. Want to run away? Don't even think about it in this life."
This time, Li Shengnan did not hide away, but felt a little sweet in his heart.
Patting Xiao Rui's hand away and looking downstairs again, Li Shengnan said seriously: "Sister Xiangcheng, we already know each other. She has suffered a lot since she was a child and lived a miserable life in the palace. These things I We all know it. Don’t worry, she and I will not have any unpleasantness."
"Grandpa said that good men are ambitious in all directions. You are the one who does big things. Sister Xiangcheng and I will not drag you down. You can go about doing big things with peace of mind. I can protect Sister Xiangcheng at home."
Xiao Rui was moved and hugged Li Shengnan, "Fool, it's me who should protect you. What a good man has ambitions in all directions, I, Xiao Rui, don't have any big ambitions, I just want to protect my family."
ah……
Li Shengnan didn't dare to think about such an intimate gesture, and subconsciously wanted to push away, but for some reason, his whole body was soft and he had no strength at all, and he couldn't use any of the skills he had learned in the past.
She could only blush with embarrassment, and spat softly with resentful eyes: "Young disciple, we have only met for the second time, and you are so frivolous towards me. I don't know how you will bully me in the future."
"Don't move, let me give you a hug." Xiao Rui said without doubt, and then sighed: "Actually, I hate being given a marriage. I want to find who I want to marry myself. Before I met you two, I don’t believe in God’s will or fate.”
"what about now?"
"Now? Now I thank God for treating me so well."
Li Shengnan stopped struggling and said warmly: "Sister Xiangcheng just said that people like you, soft on the outside and strong on the inside, are destined not to be owned by one woman, and no one is worthy of you. So..."
"Ah? Xiangcheng really said that? So what?" Xiao Rui said in surprise.
"So let me keep an eye on you with her, and don't let you provoke other girls." Li Shengnan joked.
Xiao Rui burst out laughing, hugging Li Shengnan and spinning him around twice, "No, I'll be content with you two."
Really? You just prefer a simple little girl like Li Shengnan. Would you believe it if it were someone else? Your father, Xiao Yu, doesn’t even believe it.
"Hey, put me down quickly. How long are you going to hold me? I can't breathe..."
"Oh...I forgot..."
After tidying up his clothes resentfully, Li Shengnan proposed to go home.
Xiao Rui took out a different kind of wooden sign: "Here, this is the wooden sign of Zuixian Tower. Holding this wooden sign is the owner. You don't have to spend money to eat. You can directly enter the exclusive room to eat. You can also call some of them Funds for the restaurant. If you want to eat or need money, come here anytime, this is our own store."
"Ah? No, no, I can't have it, we haven't..."
Xiao Rui forcefully told the other party, "I can't control your strict upbringing, but since you have followed me, I will not allow you to live in poverty anymore. I will visit Li Shangshu with you later and explain to them face to face. What do you want in the future? If you have dinner or want to bring friends, don’t show up.”
Li Shengnan could not refuse, so he could only nod and accept it, and asked in a low voice: "Is this a token of love? I think Sister Xiangcheng also has one."
Xiao Rui laughed and said: "A token of love? Where can I use this broken wooden sign? It's just an identity sign. Only the three of us have it. My parents don't have it."
Just the three of us? Li Shengnan was once again moved by Xiao Rui's habits and preferences. He nodded slightly and carefully put the brand in the sachet.
Then he took out a special sachet on his body and said, "This, I learned to embroider this with my own hands and give it to you. I'm not very good at embroidery, so I embroidered a sword."
Xiao Rui said in surprise: "Is this a token of love?"
Li Shengnan nodded shyly, and Xiao Rui smelled it, "It smells so good. I like it very much."
After saying that, he hung the sachet on his waist generously, took Li Shengnan's hand and said, "You like to practice martial arts. I'm going to forge two swords with my own hands, one for a gentleman and one for a lady. I happen to have one here. We can practice the swordsmanship of two people together in the future."
He had already been hugged, so he held hands and so on. Li Shengnan simply gave up resistance and asked in surprise: "Brother Rui, can you also forge swords?"
Xiao Rui said proudly: "Of course, but this is not a token of love. I'm afraid there are no enemies in the world that we can fight with two swords together. I have seen your grandmother once use a hairpin with a heavy rain pear blossom inside. It's a very sophisticated hidden weapon. I'm going to make one for you as a token of love."
Li Shengnan covered his mouth and said in disbelief: "Brother Rui, have you seen that style of Rainstorm Pear Blossom? Grandma said that no one in this world is worthy of her hairpin. How could you have seen it? That is the highest hidden weapon inherited from her sect. , there is only one in the world. Grandma said that even if there are drawings, the materials used are rare and hard to find, and it can never be made again. If you want to imitate, I'm afraid..."
Xiao Rui covered her mouth: "Haha, nothing is difficult in this world except for those who are willing. It just so happens that I will stop by and ask Senior Hongxia for a blueprint later. I wonder if she will be willing to give it up? Come on, I will take you home."
Walking downstairs, Xiao Rui took two bottles of the best wine in the store and two boxes of exquisite tea (the kind only supplied to the boss room). For his first visit, he had to have a gift that he could give. Yes, how can you be empty-handed?
