The gorgeous brocade garment was outlined stitch by stitch by his beloved wife. It feels like a thousand pieces when worn on the body, as if one can feel being comforted by her jade fingers.

Cloud patterns surround the brocade, bluebirds soar, it is gorgeous and natural, and the workmanship is eye-catching.

Siqin Mi moved his steps lightly and circled around Zhuang Xun with satisfaction. Seeing his achievements being worn by Zhuang Xun, he still felt a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction.

"A man relies on his clothes and a horse relies on his saddle. If my husband looks like this, who wouldn't say a word, I'm a good young master." Siqin Mi smiled sweetly.

"What a fine young man, it's just that my wife's craftsmanship is good." Zhuang Xun raised his hand, and the long sleeves of his wide robe made him move cautiously, fearing that he would taint his wife's feelings.

There is no way to describe how moved he is at this moment. A woman who treats you wholeheartedly will make her heart melt, not to mention that Zhuang Xun likes this kind of big sister.

"In my eyes, my husband is the best, and I only embellish my beauty." Si Qinmi said this without really blushing.

Zhuang Xun blushed anyway, his family knew about his affairs.

"You are really my wife. You are so fond of me that I am almost spoiled by you."

"Preference? Isn't that what it should be? If I don't prefer you, who will?" Si Qinmi admitted generously. He just prefers you. Can't his husband still prefer you?

"What do you want me to do..." My body is warm and my heart is warm.

"Okay, it's time to go to the longevity banquet. Xu Xingguan has been waiting impatiently." Pushing Zhuang Xun, Zhuang Xun looked at her passionately. Si Qinmi covered her face, fearing that he would make irregular moves again. And then it went on forever, even though it was just a kiss on the cheek.

"The Wanshou Banquet, um, I'm going." Zhuang Xun nodded, thinking of the Wanshou Banquet, his hot heart suddenly became cold and he frowned.

This is a big test, the future is unknown, and you don’t know the tests and conspiracies you will face. This kind of unknown is the most unsettling.

"Don't worry, sir, I will always be by your side and support you." Seeing Zhuang Xun's anxious expression, Si Qinmi took the initiative to comfort him.

"Keep a normal mind, don't be sad or happy with external objects, woo." Come close, touch, and leave at the touch of a touch.

Zhuang Xun felt that before his lips had time to enjoy the tenderness, the beauty had already stepped back.

"Go ahead, even if you go to the underworld, I will accompany you, not to mention it is just a small longevity banquet. Keep your mind calm. Soldiers will stop you, and water will cover you." Si Qinmi encouraged Zhuang Xun, his gentle words softening his worried mood.

"Yeah." Zhuang Xun felt that he had been injected with a lot of spiritual energy, and his whole person seemed to be in a state of ecstasy. What kind of longevity banquet was there? He pursed his lips and stared at Siqin Mi's pink lips, and kept thinking. Look around.

"I found a handkerchief from Lang Jun's clothes. Is it the Mrs. Jiang mentioned last time?" Si Qinmi took out the handkerchief and said, Zhuang Xun can't let Zhuang Xun be so beautiful. If this continues, he will participate in a longevity banquet.

"This, I don't want it anymore, so just throw it away." Zhuang Xun took the handkerchief from Qingniao Qianfeng and said nonchalantly. He forgot to throw it away, so he put it in his pocket. He forgot it later and was asked about it now.

"I don't understand the style. A woman throws a handkerchief to you, but she is showing her affection." Si Qinmi pinched Zhuang Xun's face and said with a hint of amusement.

"Is there such a statement? I really don't understand the customs of Yu State." Zhuang Xun said seriously. He had a clear conscience and was not afraid of being questioned.

The topic was successfully transferred.

"No, but there are scenes like this in some novels, where beauties give embroidered handkerchiefs and write poems." Si Qinmi denied it without even asking.

"That's alright. Thinking that others like me is not an illusion, it's nothing." Zhuang Xun said with self-awareness that being able to win over Siqin Mi was already a blessing, and he also thought about other things.

"Mr. Lang, women won't like you if you are so frank." Si Qinmi said with a smile. Seeing that Zhuang Xun had returned to normal, his goal was achieved.

"Don't you like it?" Zhuang Xun asked.

"I'm your wife. Of course I like her. We're still chatting after we leave." Of course Si Qinmi likes her. How could she not like her husband's honesty to her?

She pushed Zhuang Xun again, and Zhuang Xun's cheek came closer.

"I know, I know, well..." He made a sneak attack on Xiangxiang's wife before going out.

With my wife's kiss, the longevity banquet became more exciting, and it didn't seem so nervous anymore.

Si Qinmi pressed her fingers on the lips kissed by Zhuang Xun, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. She watched Zhuang Xun walk away quickly, not bothering to remind him to pay attention to his walking posture.

Xu Houde was already waiting outside the courtyard gate. When he saw Zhuang Xun's clothes, he exclaimed in surprise: "Cloud-patterned Luanniao, Xiaolian's clothes are very gorgeous. Where can I order them?"

Xu Houde's clothes are also silk brocade, but they pale in comparison to Zhuang Xun's.

"Embroidered by my wife." Zhuang Xun looked proud.

"It was said that I wanted to make a new dress for my wife and asked her to buy some cloth. Unexpectedly, in the end she only bought some cloth and made me a gorgeous dress."

Zhuang Xun felt sweet in his mouth when he said this. This kind of caring and kind-hearted elder sister-in-law was really in line with his wishes.

Although she was also very annoyed that she was buying clothes for her, she was reluctant to use them herself.

"The relationship between Mr. and Mrs. Xiaolian is enviable, and Mrs. Xiaolian's prostitute skills are also amazing." Xu Houde praised, but he couldn't get excited about this kind of thing.

A wife is not as important as an official position. With a high official and a good salary, the wife cannot be changed casually. What is the use of a female celebrity? The beauty of the wife is real. Anyway, he cannot understand Zhuang Xun's love and pride for his ugly wife.

The words were not speculative, Xu Houde was thinking about something, and he did not deliberately try to curry favor. The two sides fell into a brief silence.

Standing outside Xufang, the sun was setting in the west, and the round moon could not wait to reveal itself. Tonight was a full moon night.

"The carriage is here." Xu Houde reminded, and Zhuang Xun saw several carriages coming towards Xufang with the clatter of horse hooves.

The carriage has a roof, is surrounded by pillars, and is covered with straw mats as curtains.

The pick-up carriage was parked outside Xufang. It belonged to the Xiaolian scholar sent by the imperial court. Zhuang Xun's carriage had the best horses and was also decorated with bells and other decorations. As a Xiaolian scholar recommended by the government, this was a unique honor. .

"Uncle Xu, please come on board." Zhuang Xun invited.

"Hude will not share the honor of Xiaolian. Xiaolian please come. Houde has his own carriage." Xu Houde declined and walked to another carriage.

Seeing this, Zhuang Xun didn't persuade him anymore. He got into the car and sat neatly in the car. Hearing the rotation of the axle and the crisp sound of the wind chimes, he felt a sense of pleasure and comfort.

The breeze is gentle, like a beauty's soft onion fingers brushing her cheeks, and the autumn wind also looks gentle and pleasant.

Zhuang asked him that there were few people in the carriage, but he could feel that the stability of the carriage was really good, the road was smooth, and he didn't feel any vibration.

The carriage moved very slowly, perhaps to let the people in the city see these future officials, or perhaps to keep the vehicles moving in an orderly manner.

Zhuang Xun felt like dozing off. The cushion was very soft, but there was no support around him. He looked outside and saw that he was already at Zhuque Street.

Zhuque Street is a thoroughfare that runs through the entire Yindu from south to north. Zhuang Xun opened the curtains and saw that many vehicles had gathered on the avenue, all in the direction of Miyagi City.

Without the barrier of the car curtain, the wind became cooler, which woke him up from his hazy sleep. He looked up at the buildings on both sides. They were basically large chambers of commerce, temples, and government offices, which were regarded as economic and political centers.

On this avenue, you can feel the prosperity of Yindu, and you will not question whether there is something wrong with this country.

However, admiring the towers and pavilions and seeing someone on the roof with a bow and arrow is not so wonderful.

At first he thought it was a guard, but arrows were fired from behind. Only then did Zhuang Xun react. He instinctively lay down on the ground, pulled up the cushion and leaned against his back.

There was more than one arrow, and suddenly the bustling Zhuque Street was in chaos. The frightened horses lost control, and the vehicles staggered and galloped out.

Zhuque Street is spacious, almost thirty meters long, but there are many carriages and many people watching the excitement. If you can't control it, people will overturn and trample on their horses.

As expected, Zhuang Xun was thrown out of the vehicle. He leaned against the vehicle where the horse was separated and fell unconscious. He narrowly escaped being trampled by the horse.

"Let's go, it's dangerous." A somewhat sickly old man in his fifties grabbed him and pulled him towards a nearby shop.

"Miss Li?" Zhuang Xun glanced at the old man and then at the woman next to him.

He recognized Li Rusi at a glance.

At this time, some men with knives and swords came out from several intersections and slashed at Zhuang Xun and the others.

But a group of soldiers seemed to have been prepared, rushing out from the intersection on the other side and blocking Zhuang Xun and Li Rusi.

It allows them to retreat to a corner near the store. The store has been closed and they cannot enter.

"Be careful of arrows." Li Pingyuan, played by Ge Tan, warned.

Seeing Zhuang Xun smashed out of the car, dazed, he rescued him.

"Kill!" followed Ge Tan's command.

The soldiers fought with these quacks. The clash of swords and the screams of people made everyone in the shop stay silent.

Zhuang Xun looked at this exciting scene of blood and flesh, and he no longer had any real sense. After all, he had moved corpses in the execution ground where people were everywhere.

Frightened, he found a blind corner to hide. He felt no sense of security, and found a wooden board to cover himself. He was really afraid that another cold arrow would be placed somewhere.

This scene made Li Rusi on the side couldn't help but look at him with contempt. She was born as a general and couldn't stand Zhuang Xun's actions. Why didn't she have any courage at all?

The battle was evenly matched at the beginning. Jianghu Ke had the numerical advantage and could fight several of them. However, as the troops in the city mobilized, it became a one-sided massacre.

Blood dyed Suzaku Street red, and flames burned the carriages, like a battlefield.

At this time, the officials led more soldiers and came belatedly. The soldiers checked various intersections. After checking that there were no enemies, they shouted: "The scholar who was hiding in the shop has been killed by the evil thieves. You can come out now." .”

The common scholar Xiao Lian walked out of the shop in twos and threes, with lingering fears on their faces.

"Xiaolian Xiucai, please continue to participate in the Wanshou Banquet, and the people will retreat quickly." The official commanded, these scholars stood scattered, and some of them were even trembling with fear.

Under the guidance of officials, everyone got back on the carriage, and the bloody scene after the fight was waiting for others to clean up.

Such a big thing has happened, and the emperor is still thinking about his longevity banquet. Isn't he mentally ill? Zhuang Xun complained, with a look of fear on the surface.

The desperadoes were rushing towards him. Death was so close. Of course he, an ordinary person, was afraid of death.

Are these Yang Xiang's methods to deal with him? So cruel, really cruel.

If he hadn't happened to meet General Li Rusi Li and his party, he might have gone to see the King of Wheels today.

Preconceived, Zhuang Xun took it for granted that it was against him, and thought of the news He Jung heard.

"If Young Master attends the longevity banquet, come with me." Ge Tan didn't care about Zhuang Xun's performance. Being afraid of death was not a sin. He was still afraid of death, as long as Zhuang Xun was a good person.

"Thank you, General Li. Thank you, Miss Li." Zhuang Xun agreed and felt that it was much safer next to Getan.

"No need to thank you." Ge Tan met Zhuang Xun for the first time and got into the car first.

"Do you know the young master and the little girl?" Ge Tan opened the topic.

"We had a chance encounter, and I was lucky enough to guide the young lady." Zhuang Xun said proactively.

"That time I prayed for you, dad. This is Zhuang Xiaolian, who is famous all over Yindu." The impression of Zhuang Xun turned bad, but Li Rusi still had a gentle smile that made people feel like spring breeze.

"Scatter money to bury Si Qin's daughter in charity, in case the beautiful concubine is not moved, right? Zhuang Xiaolian returned home after releasing mother and daughter three times." Li Pingyuan may not know, but Ge Guoshi, who paid attention to Zhuang Xun, knew these things.

"It's me. It's just that these things are exaggerated. They can't be compared with the veteran general who fought against all opinions to aid the Yu State." Zhuang Xun had admiration in his eyes.

Zhuang Xun had heard a little about understanding the principle of losing one's lips and having cold teeth, and then became the leader of the country to send troops to rescue the Yu Kingdom. Such people who dare to go against the grain and do the right thing will be respected.

"Are these three things false? How can they be exaggerated?" Ge Tan became interested and did a rough inspection last time, but he mainly believed in the eyes of junior sister Jiang Xiannuo.

"It's true that it's false. First of all, the Si Qin family's daughter lost all her remaining wealth in the charity funeral. That's because I don't have much leftover money, and it will be lost in anyone's funeral. It sounds like my family's wealth was ruined because of this incident. "

"Secondly, Wanliang's beautiful concubine is involved in this matter. I'm very tempted. But I have a beloved wife at home and I don't want to leave her."

"Thirdly, my heart is moved when I let my mother and daughter go home for the third time, but my daughter is just like a young son. How can I bear to do it?"

Zhuang Xun talked about the moisture in it. He had been boasting recently that he thought he was a perfect moral person. He hoped to refute the rumors, but the rumors spread further and further, and he had no ability to control them.

Especially the story about the return of Sanfang mother and daughter. Due to the fall of Feng Zheng, it immediately spread throughout the city. The story almost blew him up to the sky. Zhuang Xun didn't realize why he found this mother and daughter at all.

After listening to what he said, Li Rusi was thoughtful and slightly raised her evaluation.

"Even so, Xiaolian is amazing. No wonder he was appreciated by King Yu and asked you to take the exam." Ge Tan praised.

This seedling was really good. The more he looked at it, the more satisfied he became. The more Zhuang Xun sat there, the more uncomfortable he became.

"I heard that General Li is in poor health. Is he feeling better? Now that You Country is raging, we still need the old general to take over and expel it." Zhuang Xun said with concern.

"A few days ago, King Yu asked Master Ge to send him elixirs. He has recovered from his serious illness and was able to attend the Longevity Banquet to express his gratitude in person. At the same time, it's time to go to the front line and say goodbye to King Yu." Ge Tan's answer was flawless.

"Is that so? Then I wish General Li a great victory." The palace wall can be seen.
