It was a gloomy day, the light was not bright, the sky was filled with heavy clouds, the cool breeze and drizzle made it cool, and the victory was welcomed with joy.
The results of the Battle of Xishui reached Jidu, and people jumped for joy, and the tense atmosphere was swept away. Even in the somewhat cool late autumn, everyone could feel their joy from the bottom of their hearts.
Who wouldn't be happy when the country won? Even the hawking sounds in the cold wind were a little more festive.
Everyone is talking about General Li's war-like fighting style, showing the enemy weakness. This step has stumped many people. They often pretend to flee, and finally become a real retreat. Without extraordinary command ability, it is impossible to do this. in this way.
Therefore, there is no shortage of complimentary words among the people in the market, praising how powerful this general is, and some people also mention Li Chengzhi, who conquered the Chengdu Pass.
Then there were the scandals about Li Rusi and Zhuang Xun.
The attitude is probably that this man is crazy and has something to do with Tigress?
Most people have never seen Li Rusi and can only let the storytellers make up nonsense. Thinking about the rumors of killing a tiger with three punches, no one will feel afraid.
Hearing these rumors, Si Qin Mi, who was dressed in plain clothes, showed a faint smile and seemed not to care about Zhuang Xun's relationship with Li Rusi in the rumors.
"Sister Lanzhi, aren't you angry?" Holding Si Qin Mi's hand and listening to such ambiguous words, He Tan's face turned slightly red. He peeked at Si Qin Mi, who was still smiling despite being disfigured, and became angry. He said that he felt that Zhuang Xun had betrayed Siqin Mi.
The two people holding hands each carried some silk, like sisters going shopping. He Tan looked petite and elegant under the embellishment of Si Qinmi.
Today Si Qin Mi took He Tan to look at various grades of fabrics. News came the day before yesterday that in the battle of Xishui, General Li showed his weakness to the enemy and used the weak to defeat the strong. He attacked halfway across Xishui and defeated the pursuers. The Youjun.
This news made Si Qin Mi feel relieved, and she was in the mood to take He Tan out to the cloth and tailor shop to learn about various fabrics.
"Angry? Why? Knowing that he is safe makes me happy. Why are you angry?" Si Qinmi said with some confusion.
"No, Sister Lanzhi, haven't you heard the rumors? I asked my brother if he and others don't know anything about it!" He Tan's face turned red and he didn't understand why Si Qin Mi wasn't angry when he heard the news.
"Then he is quite capable, and he was able to get the daughter of General Cheng Guo." Si Qinmi chuckled, not caring, and even a little happy.
She was surprised to hear that Zhuang Xun was staying at the Chengguo Mansion. No one knew her husband better than her. He was an awkward guy who didn't like to owe favors to others. Now that he was willing to live in the Chengguo Mansion, it meant he had to do it out of necessity.
Unless his life was in danger, it would have been impossible for him to make such a decision to live in someone else's house because he didn't like to owe favors to others.
But soon she relaxed again. Since she had already checked into the Chengguo Mansion, Miss Li Er, who had the ability to kill two eunuchs instantly, was here, so her husband's life was saved.
The more rumors like this, the more at ease she felt. The only thing that made Si Qin Mi uncomfortable was the mocking tone of these people towards Zhuang Xun, as if they were mocking Zhuang Xun for being ignorant.
As if marrying Li Rusi is a big mistake, even just having contact with her is inappropriate.
Comparing Zhuang Xun's attitude towards Li Rusi who killed two eunuchs, it is no wonder that the second lady of the general would be attracted to her husband.
When she first came to the house, she vaguely felt that this young lady had some special feelings for Zhuang Xun. After all, it was late at night after the coup, and she was willing to send Zhuang Xun back and come to see her.
At that time, she felt a sense of crisis. It can be said to be a woman's instinctive intuition. There is a woman who wants to steal her man.
Various factors were combined, and she was relieved when she met Zhuang Xun at night, because she found that Zhuang Xun not only did not dislike her, but was extremely obsessed with her, and she wanted to rub him into her body.
All the worries and worries disappeared, and after the joy, a feeling of guilt arose.
What he was doing, what he was doing, Zhuang Xungang praised himself in front of the civil and military officials for his beautiful virtues, so good that he would marry him even if he gave up his glory and wealth.
Now I am afraid that my husband will be snatched away, and I try to restrain him with my body. Is this worthy of his praise with the four virtues?
Deeply ashamed of Zhuang Xun's obsession, Zhuang Xun expressed his love for the appearance and body so honestly and straightforwardly. Reflecting on his past mistakes, Si Qinmi felt that it was difficult to meet people.
What is my attitude? As a wife, I should have given her body to him a long time ago and let him enjoy his assets and belongings, but I hesitated because of various psychological obstacles. In the end, I let him go because of worries, joys and jealousies. Zhuang Xun united with himself.
This kind of behavior is not a virtuous wife, she is simply a willful child. She usually gets angry with Qingmei, but seeing that Qingmei might be leaving, she said a few soft words to comfort him.
Afterwards, she reflected that she was not worthy of the virtues described by Zhuang Xun. After the passion, she even thought of escaping from Zhuang Xun's embrace and finding a crack in the ground to crawl in. She did not see anyone in person.
The next day, she suggested that Zhuang Xun ask for Li Rusi's hand in marriage. Because she felt that she had lost her moral character and that her virtue was not worthy of being Zhuang Xun's wife, she voluntarily demoted her to a concubine.
But Zhuang Xun showed his stubbornness and his love and protection for his wife. How could others understand it? The love and care for his wife comes from the bottom of his heart, and you can easily feel his sincerity.
Even if she had long thought of dying for him, she would be moved and melted by his words, reluctant to die and want to enjoy more of his love.
The more this happened, the more despicable Si Qin Mi felt. She was supposed to pamper her husband, but how could she become him who tolerated her.
rumor? Is Zhuang Xun related to Li Rusi? What's wrong with this?
There is no problem at all. If Zhuang Xun can figure it out and marry Li Rusi, she would also agree with it. Now she just wants to be Zhuang Xun's little girl, repay his kindness and favor, and help him strive for supremacy in the world.
But she knew her husband too well. It was impossible, absolutely impossible. He was a man who respected his wife, not one of those men who would divorce their wives in pursuit of status.
Combined with what she learned about the Li family in Chengguo, she was able to guess the plot of the rumors as she was good at digging into the details to find the truth.
It is certain that Miss Li Er has a good impression of her husband, otherwise she would not remind him to stay in Yindu because she believes that her father's commanding ability or other factors can make Cheng Yu win.
It can be confirmed that my husband has no unnecessary feelings for Miss Li Er. He may think that Miss Li Er is highly skilled in martial arts and heroic, but when it comes to actively pursuing or even liking her, that is impossible.
She has studied her husband thoroughly. He is the type who always greets her first when hiring a prostitute. He may have a crush on Miss Li, just like when he met Mrs. Jiang for the first time. No, he is not that excited yet. He was able to restrain himself and restore etiquette because he knew he had a loving wife at home.
He respects his status and does not allow anyone to threaten his status. It is also because she said that his mother would not let him be a concubine. He keeps it in mind and insists on it even more than himself.
Si Qinmi was certain that it was Miss Li Er who seduced her husband. Regardless of whether the rumors were true or false, her husband was definitely framed by a bad woman. He was not very smart to begin with. The bad woman planned to dig a hole. He will dig in.
However, Li Rusi is very beautiful, delicate and beautiful. The important thing is that Zhuang Xun likes her very much. Although it is not about love, Li Rusi also has status and status. It is not unacceptable for such a woman to become Zhuang Xun's wife. , it is not designed to make people angry.
So he was not angry, but relieved. It was perfect, Zhuang Xun was safe, and with the support of General Li who had now received the Heavenly Skills, even if the Yu Kingdom could not stay, it could still turn around and develop.
"Sister Lanzhi, you're still laughing! Brother Xun is already sleeping in someone else's boudoir!" He Tangqian said anxiously. A typical emperor is not as anxious as an eunuch.
The quiet and stable Siqin Mi has the calmness of a lady. After spending a few days together, He Tan also developed a fondness for this elder sister who did not hesitate to teach her skills. At first, her father just found a reason to send her to talk to her. After being taught Yantan, she realized that Zhuang Xun's words about the four virtues were not enough to describe Si Qinmi.
Apart from her shortcomings in appearance, her female beauty is vividly reflected in her. She is extremely knowledgeable, ingenious, gentle and gentle, and has a delicate mind. No wonder Zhuang Xun, a pervert, can marry her to be his wife.
It was precisely because of this that she was anxious. If Lanzhi, a good sister, didn't cherish her, and spread rumors of an affair with a tigress, Zhuang Xun must be too bad.
"Just sleep, he's a man sleeping in a woman's boudoir, why are you afraid that he will be taken advantage of?" Si Qin Mi comforted He Tan and said.
"No, Sister Lanzhi, do you understand that he has ruined Miss Li Er's reputation and must marry her? What will you do then?" Seeing that Si Qinmi didn't understand, He Tan was about to cry. .
"I'm a good concubine. My husband will never abandon me." Si Qinmi's words were full of women's complete dependence and concession.
The girl's guard was a little broken, and her voice was raised: "Sister Lanzhi, if you give in step by step, you will eventually be abandoned by Brother Zhuang... There is no recovery.”
"Okay, let's go home and tell people, people are laughing outside!" He Tan's voice startled some people and attracted some people's attention and onlookers.
Taking the angry He Tan back home, Si Qinmi, who was in a happy mood, sorted out the silk cloths he bought and sang songs while sorting them.
"The wind is clear and I feel cool when I wake up, and the moon is bright and the sky is high. The beautiful woman is taking care of the cold clothes, and is working hard with anvils and pestles."
"The clear dew condenses like jade, and the hair grows in the cool breeze at night. The lover does not lie down, but wanders under the bright moon."
"The wild geese head south, and the baby swallows fly north. It's hard to think of people who are conquering, but I hope to return home in the autumn wind."
…
"Looking up at the tung trees, the tung flowers are so pitiful. I wish there would be no frost or snow in the sky, and the sycamore trees will bear fruit for thousands of years."
"White dew grows day and night, and the autumn wind blows for a long night. Yilang must wear cold clothes and pound the white ingredients by the moon."
…
He Tan couldn't understand. She looked at Si Qinmi, who was working diligently and cheerfully with a smile, frozen at the door. It wasn't until Si Qinmi went to take the silk in her hand that she came to her senses.
"Sister Lanzhi, is the stimulation too much for you and you can't bear it? Are you just watching Brother Xun being seduced by other women? Do you think you have no ability to stop him, so you just run away?"
He Tan asked three times in a row. This was the only reason she could think of why Si Qin Mi was not angry. Otherwise, how could an average woman not have any emotions if her husband had such rumors.
"Sister Tan, you don't understand Sir, you are too young." Condescendingly touching He Tan's head, Si Qin Mi couldn't help but use the tone of an elder.
"I'm not young anymore. I'm already fifteen. I'll get married soon! Hurry up and I'll be a mother soon." He Tan exploded and said that Zhuang Xun disliked her for being young. She always remembered this. Although it was also because she was young, the mother and daughter were tolerated by Zhuang Xun several times.
She was already in a state of incomprehension about Si Qin Mi's behavior and was in a state of anxiety. The words of an elder like Si Qin Mi naturally caused her to explode emotionally.
"Being a mother?" Si Qinmi retracted her hand in embarrassment.
After the outburst, the girl immediately understood that she was rude and apologized quickly: "I was impulsive. Please don't blame Sister Lanzhi. I was the one who spoke impulsively and disturbed Sister Lanzhi."
"It's okay, it's okay. You are also worried about me. With my appearance like this, what will you do if your husband abandons me?" Si Qin Mi didn't pay attention, but took He Tan's hand and sat down.
"Yeah." This was indeed what she wanted to say, because Siqin Mi's appearance was ruined now. Although she didn't like Zhuang Xun, she also felt that Zhuang Xun was now Siqin Mi's good match, and now this good match was about to disappear. , she felt aggrieved for this kind-hearted, diligent and intelligent sister Lanzhi, but she couldn't say it directly before, after all, it was exposing someone's shortcomings.
"So, you don't understand Mr. Tan very well, Sister Tan." The corners of Si Qinmi's mouth raised slightly, and the emotion of showing off was reflected on her pretty face.
"The husband will never divorce me, because I am his wife." Si Qinmi, having grasped Zhuang Xun's character, affirmed, with a hint of pride in his tone.
"Sister Lanzhi, you are too confident. How can you make such a conclusion?" He Tan didn't believe it. He felt that Si Qinmi must not be able to accept the facts and was a little crazy. There were many women like this. I had seen and heard of them.
"Do you want us to make a bet? Sister Tan?" Si Qinmi touched He Tan's little hand and looked at the small and exquisite He Tan and said.
He Tan is a woman who is very suitable for the aesthetics of this world. She is petite and cute, and at the same time fair and beautiful. Why is her husband so stubborn? Now that she is a third-rank official, it should not be too much to accept a concubine.
"What do you want to bet on, Sister Lanzhi?" Facing Si Qin Mi's smiling and loving eyes, He Tan didn't feel warm, but felt a faint chill down his spine.
"I'll bet you whether my husband will divorce me when he comes this time, or even demote me to a concubine. What do you think?" Si Qinmi abandoned the bet.
"What is the lottery?" He Tan asked.
"How about you come to be my sister? My sister also likes you, very much." Si Qinmi said teasingly.
Her joking tone did not make He Tan lower his guard and agree.
"Impossible, I will not marry brother Xun, and brother Xun will not marry me!" He Tan immediately refused.
"Can't we even discuss it at all?" Si Qinmi was a little disappointed.
"No, although Tan is very grateful to brother Xun for his great kindness to our family, I still don't want to repay him with my own life." He Tan acted very resolutely. He was disgusted when he thought of Zhuang Xun's lustful look, let alone marrying him. .
"How about Sister Tan get married two years later? I can't bear to leave such a delicate person like Sister Tan." Si Qinmi changed the bet again.
"If Brother Xun really doesn't divorce his wife, no, he means not turning Sister Lanzhi into a concubine when the second lady of the Li family hooks up with her. If I don't divorce you, Sister Lanzhi, it doesn't matter if I get married two years later." He Tan is not stupid and plugs the loopholes.
It's a pity that she was really too young and didn't ask Si Qin Mi about the bet that Si Qin Mi would lose. Although she would definitely lose, and she thought she could escape the bet with her parents' lives. She didn't understand that her parents also wanted to be Zhuang Xun's parents. .
