Sun Shangxiang really can't let anything happen, especially not in Jiangxia.
Regardless of why she came to Jiangxia, or whether she hid her identity, in essence, she was the little princess of Jiangdong and Sun Quan's biological sister.
If something happens to Sun Shangxiang in Jiangxia, whether she is bullied or she bullies others, it will be very difficult for Zhang Xi to deal with it. If she does not handle it well, it may affect the covenant relationship between the two parties.
At present, Liu Beifang needs the stability of this alliance more than Sun Quanfang.
Therefore, the best way is to let this young lady leave Jiangxia as soon as possible and go to the ground in Nanjun to harm Zhou Yu.
But Zhang Xi didn't send the eldest lady away twice, whether he gave money directly or indirectly. The eldest lady went to the market to sell horses again.
Zhang Xi, who has a headache, can only continue to let Xiaoba hire someone, and cannot let this young lady live on the street.
Xiaoba Diandian went to invite him, but he didn't come back.
Sun Shangxiang said that he has nothing to do with the county magistrate anymore and should not be disturbed. Even if he lives in a ruined temple, he will never return to the county government mansion again.
Xiaoba was also helpless and tried to persuade her for a long time, but she ignored her after saying these words. Xiaoba had no choice but to come back aggrievedly to repay the master and ask him to make a decision.
Zhang Xi couldn't help it. If he didn't know the importance of this eldest lady, Zhang Xi wouldn't care if this girl would suffer outside.
There is no other way. Not only for Sun Shangxiang's face, but also for the sake of Lord Liu Bei's face, he must be invited back and treated well.
He temporarily put aside his official duties and went to the market in person. After bowing and being invited, he finally invited Sun Shangxiang to a restaurant, where the two of them ate and talked.
Mainly Zhang Xi talked, Sun Shangxiang listened without comment.
"Mr. is away this morning. If Xi has offended you with his words, please forgive me." Zhang Xi said to Sun Shangxiang while keeping a smile.
Let’s apologize first. If anything happens, we’ll talk about it later.
"snort!"
This is Sun Shangxiang's answer.
Although, Zhang Xi does think that Sun Shangxiang's hum is quite charming. But, dear, you are wearing men's clothes now, can you be a little more careful? !
"This is all Xi's fault. I hope you won't blame me, sir." Zhang Xi endured it for a moment and continued to apologize.
"Where did you go wrong?!"
Hey, this conversation is outrageous, right? Sassy girlfriend, right? !
Zhang Xi looked at Sun Shangxiang strangely and thought, "Are you not pretending at all?" !
It doesn’t matter if you don’t lower your voice when speaking. You just said such a “feminine” word directly. What do you want to do? !
But the problem is, your target is not me either. If the two families are really getting married, the target of your words should also be my master. You have found the wrong person.
Therefore.
"I don't know, sir, please give me some advice!" Zhang Xi answered, very straight.
There is no way, now that I am facing a man, I still have to pretend to be confused until they tell me clearly.
This is definitely how men get along with each other. If you don’t understand, just ask.
Sun Shangxiang was obviously very dissatisfied with this answer, but at least she was not really a "sassy girlfriend" and not that messy.
Sun Shangxiang said seriously, "Although I have only known the County Lord for a few days, I have received so much care from the County Lord, and I am very grateful. However, I sold Xiaohong to the County Lord sincerely, but the County Lord took this as a You want to give me money as an opportunity, are you trying to humiliate me with money and trap me in injustice?!"
Zhang Xi was stunned.
How can such a thing be explained in this way? !
That's not right. This explanation is very inconsistent with current values.
Otherwise, the matter of Qin Qiong selling the horse would not be justified.
Zhang Xi hurriedly explained, "Although Xi has known Mr. Xi for a short time, we have a good rapport with him and regard him as a friend. As the ancients said, friends have the meaning of making money. Now that Mr. Xi is in trouble, since I regard him as a friend, I should take it as my responsibility." Help me. If you care about your face, sir, and someone buys a horse as a gift, how can you say that you are doing injustice to your husband?!"
Sun Shangxiang was stunned. She really didn't expect that Zhang Xi actually treated her as a friend.
The twists and turns of these days made Sun Shangxiang feel somewhat moved by Zhang Xi's statement. Along the way, she encountered many bandits and water bandits. The only people who were really good to her were indeed Zhang Xi and the family of her benefactor, the widow.
Although he was very moved, Zhang Xi's behavior and explanation were not in line with Sun Shangxiang's consistent philosophy.
"Since we are friends, how can we be tainted by the smell of copper?!" Sun Shangxiang retorted
Zhang Xi immediately said, "It's not because of the smell of copper, it's because of righteousness. How can there be no reason not to help a friend when he sees danger, or not to save him when he sees death?!"
"But in the past, Guan Ning and Hua Xin broke off their diplomatic relations. Isn't it because Hua Xin took the gold and silver from the fields and was tainted with the smell of copper without knowing it?!"
"No, Guan Daru does not take ill-gotten wealth. The owner of the gold and silver in the fields is unknown, so he should not take it lightly. Hua Xin did not know it, thinking that it was a gift from heaven. It is said that Guan Daru lived in Liaodong, educating the people, and Gongsun prefect gave it to him. The official residence was used for education, but Guan Daru accepted it happily. It can be seen that the reason for cutting off relations with Hua Xin was not for money, but because of the conflict of righteousness."
"cocoa."
When it comes to talking nonsense, even ten Sun Shangxiang are no match for Zhang Xi.
After a long argument, Zhang Xi finally said that Sun Shangxiang was speechless.
But this also annoyed Sun Shangxiang.
Sun Shangxiang was not a well-educated woman to begin with. Her main skill was in her hands.
Since I can't talk about Zhang Xi, I won't talk about it.
Before finishing the meal, Sun Shangxiang stood up angrily and planned to leave.
Zhang Xi was dumbfounded now.
I was just busy talking, but I never thought that my opponents this time would not be those literati and celebrities, and they would not tell you the rules of literati.
Sun Shangxiang wanted to leave, but Zhang Xi quickly chased after him. In a moment of anxiety, he reached out and held his little hand.
Well, to be honest, I was just in a hurry and didn't think too much about it.
Then, Zhang Xi was locked on the shoulder by Sun Shangxiang's backhand.
To be honest, Sun Shangxiang didn't do this out of shame or anger. It was a completely subconscious reaction. She really didn't think about the difference between men and women for a while.
But after Zhang Xi's shoulders were locked by him, Sun Shangxiang realized that he seemed to have grabbed Zhang Xi's hand.
Of course, in this era, the relationship between men and women is not as perverted as it was later. Besides, Sun Shangxiang is now a man disguised as a woman, so although he is a bit shy, Sun Shangxiang does not take it seriously.
First, he let go of Zhang Xi, and then apologized to Zhang Xi, saying that it was his instinctive reaction and he didn't mean to lock Zhang Xi.
But Zhang Xi felt guilty.
When someone locked my wrists just now, my back accidentally touched something soft. Well, forget it, I can't say it. If I say it, I'll get beaten.
After such a fuss, Zhang Xi invited Sun Shangxiang back to the dinner table again, and Sun Shangxiang couldn't refuse.
Then, Zhang Xi stopped talking to Sun Shangxiang and seriously invited her to live back in the county government office.
I already said that we are friends, and you didn’t refute it, right? !
Now that we are all friends, but you don't go to your friend's house to live, what does it mean to live in a ruined temple? ! Don’t consider friends any more? !
In the end, Sun Shangxiang couldn't talk to Zhang Xi, and in the end, he half resisted and half willingly returned to live in the backyard of the county government with Zhang Xi.
After another night of rest at the county government office, Sun Shangxiang, who had been thinking about it all night, found Zhang Xi and took the initiative to talk to Zhang Xi early the next morning.
The reason is that Sun Shangxiang feels that although Zhang Xi takes advantage of his friends, friends should also be clearer about each other, and they cannot let the smell of copper ruin their friendship.
Therefore, Sun Shangxiang felt that either she would sell Xiaohong to Zhang Xi and go on her own. When she settled down in Nanjun in the future, she would come back to redeem Xiaohong. Otherwise, she helps Zhang Xi by doing something to earn some money for herself as travel expenses.
But Zhang Xi didn't understand - why couldn't he lend the money to Sun Shangxiang himself and repay the money after she settled down in Nanjun? !
In this regard, Sun Shangxiang still insists that money relationships should not be involved among friends, and it is best not to involve them.
Furthermore, the current world is not good, and the circulation of money is also quite inconvenient. When I arrive in Nanjun, I will send someone to deliver money. If someone robs me on the way, who will be responsible? !
So Sun Shangxiang decided that it would be better to use the two suggestions he made.
In this regard, Sun Shangxiang was quite insistent, making it difficult for Zhang Xi to persuade him.
But if you think about it carefully, if you choose the first condition, Sun Shangxiang goes on the road with ten guan of money, no horses, and only relies on a long sword. Why does it feel more dangerous? !
From Xiakou to Xiakou, Zhang Xi can still send people to escort him, but after passing Xiakou, he enters Jingling and Wulin. Even Liu Beifang doesn't have full control over there. There are refugees and bandits everywhere. If someone breaks through, that's not asking for death.
After much deliberation, it seems that only the second condition is more suitable.
But the question is, how can Sun Shangxiang help him? !
Then Sun Shangxiang said that he could be Zhang Xi's bodyguard.
As the head of a county, Zhang Xi has to go out to inspect the place frequently. With such chaos these days, wouldn't it be better to have a guard by his side? !
Zhang Xixin said that I am not a county magistrate. I rarely go out if nothing happens. Even if I go out, I will bring at least thirty guards with me every time. You are the only one, let alone you. Even if you bring a hundred people from Jiangdong, they will not be there. He must be the opponent of my thirty guards.
Zhang Xi's bodyguards were all selected from the army, elite members of the army who were proficient in the Yuanyang Formation.
However, after Zhang Xi thought about it carefully, it seemed that his purpose was not to be protected by Sun Shangxiang.
It was just an excuse to let Sun Shangxiang stay for a few days, and then pay her more at the end of the month, and then send her to continue to Nanjun to harm Zhou Yu.
In this case, it doesn't matter whether he is a guard or not.
Another one is that he doesn't need to be guarded, but little Deng Ai is now old enough to practice martial arts.
Of course, Zhang Xi did not ask Sun Shangxiang to be Deng Ai's martial arts teacher.
According to Zhang Xi's plan, Sun Shangxiang won't stay for long before he leaves. Zhang Xi still has to find a solution for the matter of the martial arts teacher.
But there should be no problem in asking Sun Shangxiang to give little Deng Ai some enlightenment and teach him the basic skills of getting started.
It's better than little Deng Ai just asking around, wondering, and practicing all by himself.
Well, well, it’s such a happy decision.
But Xiao Deng Ai said that I was very unhappy.
It's not that little Deng Ai doesn't want to practice martial arts, and it's not that little Deng Ai doesn't listen to his master, it's really hard to explain.
