"Don't make big swings in your steps, pay attention to your waist when going forward or backward..." Zhuang Xun was trained in his walking posture and hand-in-hand adjustments.
"Hmm..." Zhuang Xun's face turned red from suppressing it. His hands and feet felt like they were not his. He felt awkward walking step by step. He was in a dilemma like a toddler in Handan.
"Madam, is this okay?" Zhuang Xun controlled himself and walked around with difficulty.
"Don't lean back. Keep your posture more natural. It's just walking. You'll get used to it after taking a few more steps." Si Qinmi chuckled, looking at Zhuang Xun's stiff walking posture with crooked eyebrows.
"It feels like I just learned to drive, forget it..." Zhuang Xun remembered the feeling of going to a driving school to learn to drive an automatic car. The pace and body were separated and difficult to integrate.
"Learning to drive? Lang Jun, take your time, yes, step by step..." Although Si Qinmi had doubts, he did not go into details and guided Zhuang Xun like a baby still learning to walk.
Zhuang Xun stepped forward cautiously, walking slowly under her guidance, sweating profusely.
"It's good to have a rest for a while." After walking for about 20 minutes, Si Qinmi saw the sweat on Zhuang Xun's face and asked him to take a rest.
When Zhuang Xun heard that his whole body changed from tense to relaxed, he was about to soften.
"You must sit properly." Si Qinmi reminded.
Zhuang Xun tensed up again, remembering what Si Qinmi had taught him before, and was sitting on the bench.
"Relax, relax. If you want to look relaxed, you can't pretend to be deliberately..." He pulled out a white handkerchief and wiped the sweat on Zhuang Xun's forehead with her scent.
Just like Taozhi's smile, she is gentle and charming. Her bright eyes make people yearn for her at close range. However, the coarse linen clothes cannot hide her natural beauty. The beauty has a capable temperament, but does not lose this tolerant softness. Zhuang Xun looked at the corner of his mouth and smiled.
The beauty observed Zhuang Xun's smile and looked in the direction of his eyes. Her cheeks turned a thin red, like plum blossoms in winter snow, but she did not retreat shyly. She wiped Zhuang Xun's forehead and changed the subject.
"The emperor wants to test you. How would you respond if he asked the ruler of the country?" Si Qinmi took back his handkerchief.
"Huh? Isn't running a country just..." Zhuang Xun just opened his mouth and thought of many classics in his mind, but they were fragmented and he wanted to integrate them, and then his mind went blank.
"If I ask about Enyi, how would you respond, Mr. Lang?" Si Qinmi asked again.
Zhuang Xun was stunned on the spot. He really had many words in his mind but couldn't express them. The corners of his mouth were twitching but he couldn't speak.
Many words are either very earthy and difficult to express, or one or two sentences cannot be connected together to form a point.
"Forget it, I will prepare some responses later, just memorize them all and adapt accordingly." Seeing Zhuang Xun speechless, Si Qinmi relieved her shyness, because it was embarrassing to become Zhuang Xun.
"Thank you, madam, let's continue practicing." It was so embarrassing that Zhuang Xun didn't even want to rest.
"Take a rest for a while, relax." Si Qinmi stood up and walked behind Zhuang Xun, rubbing Zhuang Xun's shoulders and neck to avoid looking at each other and causing Zhuang Xun embarrassment.
"Lang Jun, there is still a lot of time, there is no need to be so urgent." Si Qinmi whispered in his ear.
"I know, but I just want to learn it quickly. The sooner I master it, the more confident I will be in facing the upcoming longevity banquet." Zhuang Xun shook his head and touched Si Qin Mi's jade wrist, and the contact was instantaneous.
"Madam, why did the emperor choose me? He is not so generous as usual." Zhuang Xun couldn't understand and said that the emperor's fatuousness was known to everyone in the country, and suddenly he understood, what could he do if he was so fatuous? Not coming out.
"Don't say this nonsense. Since someone recommended you, you should be grateful. How can you say such bad words behind your back." Si Qinmi pinched Zhuang Xun's cheek and said.
Zhuang Xun had the illusion that she regarded him as his younger brother.
"People think you may have been betrayed by Siqin Shengjing. After all, he trusts Siqin Shengjing so much. The Siqin family has also been favored by the emperor. Now they are in urgent need of a logo that is different from the Siqin family." Si Qin Mi speculated. .
"I know this, but it still feels weird. How did what we did reach his ears?" Zhuang Xun knew very well that the role of citing his filial piety and integrity was equivalent to setting a benchmark against Siqin's shameless treason. .
"Why bother so much? At least we have found a recommender now, right? It's much better than just guessing in the dark." Si Qinmi frowned, but his tone was still relaxed and pleasant.
"Yes, as long as you deal with the emperor well, it will be fine. However, everyone knows that I am filial and honest, so why should I be tested?" Zhuang Xun complained.
"After all, you are a Xiaolian from Yindu Prefecture, which is indeed different from ordinary Xiaolian. At that time, I just wanted to spend money to promote Xiaolian from a county, and then spend some money to let my husband go to the Ministry of Households to work as a casual employee. When the time is up, In exchange for buying the official position of the prefect, I won't have to spend money, but it won't be easy to do things that can only be done in the dark." Si Qinmi also had to admit that the plan could not keep up with the changes.
"Just like a scholar must also be tested for virtue, it is also true that Xiaolian is tested for knowledge. This is an opportunity. If you perform well this time, you may not have to go to the Sixth Ministry to take up a casual position, and you can be directly awarded an official position." Si Qinmi Zhan Wang said that this was of course an extremely smooth situation.
"I'm just afraid that if I offend the emperor, it will be bad. Practice more and memorize more. There are many rules for nobles." Zhuang Xun said slightly uneasily, as if he was preparing for an exam.
"This way we can differentiate between status and upbringing. Don't worry, Langjun, you are just a filial and honest person. It won't be too difficult for you to take the exam. Just write down the regular answers. I don't want you to stand out." Si Qinmi said comfortingly.
"I can't stand out from the crowd, and I'm wasting my imperial veins. If my wife had the imperial veins for a man, I could do what a man can do." Zhuang Xun joked.
"The husband is a woman, so I will only dote on you, the husband." Si Qinmi was amused and replied.
"I only love you, you are my wife." Zhuang Xun responded to Si Qinmi's joke with a serious tone.
"You also said, how nice it is that someone sent money and a concubine. Also, why can a man who has ambitions in all directions only dote on his concubine?" Si Qinmi persuaded Zhuang Xun.
"Obviously, Madam, you didn't agree to anything, but now you regret it. Besides, I just dote on you. What's wrong?" Zhuang Xun held the soft and boneless jade hand on his shoulder.
"It's my fault. I didn't expect someone to take a concubine for you. It's not good to favor only one person. I will be criticized as jealous. I still hope that my husband can have three wives and four concubines, so that I can enjoy the feeling of being a real wife. "Si Qinmi apologized first, and then said in a hopeful tone.
"What's wrong with you? You're not wrong. Do you think about this all day long because you don't want to like me?" Zhuang Xun said, pretending to be aggrieved.
"Of course I like your husband and appreciate your kindness, but..." I just want to make it up to you for marrying a wife like me.
"It's just a day of kindness. I know that I tied you to me with kindness. Without kindness, you would not marry me. But I just want to use kindness to ask you to stay with me for the rest of my life and the next life, because I like you. , why are you so lovable, and how difficult it is to harvest your sincerity." Zhuang Xun held Si Qinmi's jade hand tightly. He hated that Si Qinmi talked about kindness all day long, and talked about feelings just to repay kindness, which made him Discouraged, he knew that he seemed to have nothing to attract Si Qinmi.
"..." Seeing Zhuang Xun angry, Si Qinmi fell silent.
I don't dislike her, I fulfill my responsibilities, I repay my kindness, I am a good wife and I treat Zhuang Xun all these feelings, but if I like her, do I really have the right to like people?
Zhuang Xun's hand was held tightly by Zhuang Xun, and he could feel the other person's strong possessiveness towards him.
The atmosphere of a cold war between the two sides has become increasingly intense.
Looking at Zhuang Xun who was silent and sulking, Si Qinmi smiled lightly, bent down and lowered his head.
"Chirp."
