In the brief moment of tenderness, the couple chatted.
In the end, there was no conclusion, but Zhuang Xun slept very sweetly with Siqinmi in his arms. The sound was so good that Siqinmi went to attend to official duties early the next day, and he was still sleeping.
Si Qinmi once again threw herself into the busy work of holding meetings, assigning tasks, etc., because she really planned to complete three to four years of work in one year.
Time waits for no one, and the situation is about to change. A keen person can feel that something is wrong in the atmosphere, especially when Emperor Yangshou seems to be running out of time.
It's all about going against the current, taking advantage of the rising waves, and if you miss the opportunity, you may never have another chance. Si Qinmi understands this principle very well.
Zhuang Xun wanted to share the pressure of office work, but in the end all he got were documents that Si Qinmi had already made a decision on, and he was asked to stamp it.
"..." He didn't think there was anything wrong with being a rubber stamp. After all, Si Qinmi made the right decisions. He didn't have the kind of leader who, in order to show his leadership ability, would make documents for himself based on the documents of his superiors. The habit of being picky.
Since it appears to be perfect, there is no need to add his own ideas. If he wants to join in, Si Qinmi is willing to teach him, but there are many things that can really show his governance ability.
For example, Zhuang Xun thought about water source allocation for a long time but couldn't figure out how to solve it. Siqinmi could solve the problem of water source allocation in two counties. Where to build dams and where to build diversion canals, the entire Jiannan matter was up to her. Under the arrangement, it is as smooth as a mechanical gear.
After working for two days, he realized the nature of the trouble he had caused. Zhuang Xun left the study in shame, and his desire to help Si Qinmi was completely shattered.
Thinking of the documents she was handling, Si Qin Mi would take another look at them, then point them out to herself, and then revise them. She was often busy until late at night, so she might as well let Si Qin Mi do it because she had to rest early.
The imagined situation of husband and wife working together and having workplace support did not appear. Although Si Qinmi was very gentle, there were really many things to do.
What about office romance? There are too many things to do, and all you care about is work. Who can give you a day in the office to flirt with each other? The workload is not big enough, right?
It's better to listen to her talk about important things every day, pinch her shoulders, neck and thighs to make her happy, and become a rubber stamp. It's better than watching her work two jobs. At least she will be busy for this year, and she will be busy until the autumn harvest. A busy first year is over.
After leaving the study, she explained that she didn't want to cause trouble, but Si Qinmi didn't stop him. In her eyes, this kind of thing was tiring work, so she didn't want Zhuang Xun to do it. The wise emperor should handle it easily.
This is what she thought. If the emperor has a talent who can govern the country for him and will never betray him, such as herself, then the emperor can ensure the prosperity of the country.
Zhuang Xun left the study and came to the battlefield. The three thousand forbidden troops promised by King Yu arrived, most of them were from Hebei Road and Jiannan Road.
Li Rusi got the promise, and after Zhuang Xun brought back the troops, split them up and reorganized them again, she went to train the troops.
He is very self-aware and knows his own strengths. When training soldiers, can he still let these soldiers listen to him and practice goose step?
Maybe it would work. He didn't know. He would rather trust the methods of these old people. Who told him that he didn't have a musket?
Mainly to see the running-in of the army, including Li Rusi, two generals were inserted, one Li Rusi, the other He Heng, and Wang Qingzheng who had taken refuge.
Li Rusi killed Ma last time. She spread the word from ten to ten and was respected by the soldiers. Bravery is the strongest calling card of a military commander. A woman who can kill a bloody enemy among thousands of troops and a female Shura is really capable. Murderous.
He Heng was more of a Confucian general, so I went to see him. He was reading a military book. The atmosphere in the barracks where he led the troops was relatively easy-going. Huang Xi and Luo Yuecheng were trained more heavily. It was not clear how well they had trained, but they smiled and exercised hard. It should be okay.
Later, I went to see Wang Qingzheng again, but there was no problem, and the 3,000-strong Forbidden Army finished watching.
After leaving the military camp, Zhuang Xun didn't know where to go for a while. He was the nominally highest official in this place, but he felt that he was like Liu Chan, who could interfere in everything, but it was difficult to interfere in everything.
It's not uncomfortable to accept the fact that you are a waste. You just need to find something to do for yourself. If you eat like a woman, you can not cause trouble because of your lack of ability, but don't make yourself a pig.
Take stock of what you should do now and what you can do. First, read books. Try to read books to enrich yourself and prepare for taking on government affairs in the future. Second, practice, which is the basis for the realization of various imaginations in the future.
I thought about cultivation, the many things involved in cultivation, then I thought of Mrs. Jiang, then I thought of Xuannv, and I thought of what Li Rusi and Si Qinmi said.
Remembering the Qiyao appointment with Xuan Nu, Zhuang Xun hesitantly came to Xuan Nu's residence and knocked on the door.
"Disciple Zhuang Xun, please see the real person." Zhuang Xun was respectful, after all, he was a true immortal in heaven.
"Jiedushi? Please come in." Xuannv's voice was clear, with an airy air that didn't belong to her age.
"Zhuang Xun has met Empress Xuannv." He closed the door, came to Xuannv, and bowed respectfully, because Xuannv didn't like to kneel down.
"Are you coming to see Miss He?" Xuannv smiled, holding a fly whisk, and meditated under the tree in the courtyard. He Tan's ghost stood on the right, seeming to be listening to her sermon.
"Disciple also has some cultivation issues that I hope the empress can clear up." Zhuang Xun said after hesitating for a moment, but decided to make it clear. He is not a hesitant person. If he thinks too much, he will tend to make decisions quickly.
"There is no need to call me a disciple. I am not anyone's master, and Mrs. Jiang is just one of my followers." Xuannv said with a smile. With a wave of her whisk, the stone stool fluttered to her side and motioned for Zhuang Xun to sit down.
"Express Xun's respect for your Majesty. Your Majesty can still live here comfortably." Zhuang Xun greeted and looked at He Tan. Bai Chacha's face had no expression and seemed relatively cold, but the surprise in the corner of his eyes made him feel close. .
"Melons and fruits are used at all times, and daily offerings are constant. The place chosen is also winding and quiet. It takes care of the feelings of the monks and is afraid of loneliness and boredom. The location is convenient for entry and exit. Your wife Wei is indeed worthy of being a wife of the Four Virtues." A good name."
Xuannv praised Si Qinmi and Zhuang Xun. Si Qinmi was quite good as a person. Unless she met someone who started with hatred, she could usually make the other person feel good about her. good.
This may come from the concubine's experience in observing words and emotions and being sober in the world she learned in a large family.
"Of course, my wife is extremely outstanding. I, a fool, am not worthy of it. Fortunately, I got it. Madam Xuannv, I have some questions about spiritual practice that I need you to answer." Zhuang Xun first praised and then followed the original plan. First, I asked about the health-preserving methods taught by Xuannv.
"Jie Du, please tell me." She raised the corner of her mouth slightly, Xuan Nu was in a good mood and agreed.
"Qi circulates in the perineum..."
"Let's appoint each other as supervisors..."
One person asked and the other answered, Xuan Nu was a good teacher, Zhuang Xun was also a good student, and the man's concentration in this aspect was greater than anywhere else.
I tasted the sweetness, so I paid more attention to it, probably like this.
"If Jiedu still has any questions, you can always ask me, is this method effective?" After answering, Empress Xuannv suddenly asked, wanting to know the effect of Zhuang Xun.
Zhuang Xun's face turned red, but he gritted his teeth and said, "It's very useful. I don't know the name of the technique. Can I teach it to others?"
"As long as it's easy to use, didn't His Majesty the King of Wheels tell you that laws should not be passed down lightly, and words should not be taught lightly?" Xuannv's cheeks became stiff, her smile disappeared, and she reprimanded.
Teaching the Dharma is a waste of merit. Although the Yin-Yang health-preserving technique has not yet reached the level of cultivating Taoism, it is already equivalent to a peerless martial arts secret book.
"Xun Xun doesn't know the truth, and Xun hasn't told anyone. Please calm down Xuan Nu." Zhuang Xun hesitated to advance or retreat, fearing that Xuan Nu would be even more angry if he knelt down.
"Empress, please forgive Brother Xun, he really doesn't know." He Tan knelt down decisively and kowtowed directly.
"Why am I angry? If he spreads it, it will damage his merits, and it has nothing to do with me." I won't ask her again to scare him.
"Thank you for your tolerance, and thank you for teaching me the Dharma." Zhuang Xun immediately thanked him and said that it was very helpful. It could be said that everything he couldn't get under the bed was available on the bed. It even made him have the arrogant idea that he was capable.
"It's because you are the koi carp raised by Mrs. Jiang that I intend to show kindness to you. Your performance is also good. You violate the minor precepts and do not exceed the big rules." .
Immortals like to help good people and be associated with good people, but generally good people cannot be associated with them. In addition, the law is not taught lightly, so immortals prefer people who were good people in their previous lives.
"But Xun is also a favor. Madam Xuannv, Xun needs to repent about Mrs. Jiang." Zhuang Xun thanked her first, and then stepped into the real theme of today.
"Mrs. Jiang?" Xuannu was a little confused. She didn't know everything. Did Zhuang Xun do something to offend Mrs. Jiang?
"Xun has evil thoughts towards Mrs. Jiang and has tarnished Mrs. Jiang's kindness." Zhuang Xun confessed, at least at this moment he was sincere.
It had obviously subsided for a while and had almost dissipated, but it happened to be aroused by Si Qinmi's words again. Yes, Mrs. Jiang is a widow. It is already a very bold move to give a handkerchief to her. She may be waiting for you to pursue her actively. Well, when I think of this possibility, my heart is beating wildly, blood is pumping into my head and my head, and I feel dizzy, so I want to ask for a clear answer today.
"Tell me more about it. Generally, you don't need to talk to me if you have evil thoughts. Something must have happened." Xuannv did not accept Zhuang Xun's confession. Her eyes lit up, as if she had discovered some trick, so she became very enthusiastic.
Seeing that Xuannv was interested, Zhuang Xun explained in detail how he met Mrs. Jiang, how they talked in the teahouse, and finally took out the handkerchief and accepted it after being scolded.
After hearing this, Xuan Nu felt a little regretful and couldn't help but sigh. It was obviously not what she wanted to hear.
"Based on my understanding of Mrs. Jiang, she may be like this because she doesn't care. She doesn't have any superfluous meaning for you, she just thinks it doesn't matter. If the handkerchief can indeed become your talisman, then you can accept it. As for the poem, she is magnanimous and honest. There are no distracting thoughts in my mind." Xuannv sentenced her to death, denying that Mrs. Jiang who Zhuang Xun thought had any affectionate thoughts.
Suddenly, Zhuang Xun felt like he had fallen into an ice cellar, his whole body was cold, and his warm blood had also been cooled down. He felt chilly, maybe because of hypothermia, or maybe because of the silence in his heart.
"Xun made a mistake and should repent. With such unrealistic thoughts, it is a joke to Empress Xuannv. How can a practitioner interact with mortals." With his blood cooling and his heart cooling, Zhuang Xun felt uncomfortable. But also a little more calm.
"How could it not be? You gave up like this, so you had no chance." Xuan Nu's expression was a little more smiling, as if she was watching a lively theater when she was fortune-telling in Qinghu Mountain.
"Empress Xuannv?" Zhuang Xun wanted to touch his ears, but felt it was indecent.
"Can't you believe it? But monks are also human beings, with emotions and human emotions. It can even be said that they behave more like humans and are purer than ordinary people." Xuannv said, trying to give Zhuang Xun confidence.
"No, Madam. Since Mrs. Jiang has no intention, I won't do such disgusting things. Thank you for your kindness." Zhuang Xun shook his head, seeing that Xuannv had good intentions to match her, but his cold heart told him, what? It's called Lang Qingconcubine.
He doesn't want to be an annoying fly, otherwise he will hate himself. If others are not interested in him, it's not interesting. There is no need to stalk them.
"How can you make people hate you? You have the appearance of a prosperous wife. If you have a fate, it will be beneficial to both of you." Xuannv continued, and she came to the conclusion based on the combination of all aspects of personality and appearance. Her arithmetic He is very clever in this aspect, otherwise there would be no God of Marriage.
"Please let Xun think more. Xun's mind has been confused today. Please forgive Xun for resigning." Zhuang Xun refused in his heart. Cold water was poured on his head. It was already so cold that he couldn't think about these things.
"Think about it carefully. If you can make her prosperous and help her, won't you just repay what you owe Mrs. Jiang?" Xuan Nu warned, asking Zhuang Xun to think carefully, and watched Zhuang Xun escape.
"How do you think your future husband will tell you that he likes another woman in front of you?" Zhuang Xun left Xuan Nu before asking about He Tan who was next to him.
"Brother Xun, I'm afraid he doesn't regard Tan as his future wife and concubine, but he has always been like this." He Tan smiled bitterly.
"No wonder, I was so awkward and a few men liked me before I was alive. No wonder my parents wanted to send me out quickly." He Tan tilted his head and felt a little sad.
"It's okay, he will marry you anyway." Xuannv felt the joy of getting married. This was a rare activity that made Da Nang feel happy, because they were also human beings.
"Marry a crazy woman? I have been pampered since I was a child. My father is a chief catcher and my mother is a famous beauty. They protect me very well. I have never seen a human being like a dog. The people who came and went looked like greedy people with lustful eyes and wanted to devour me. That day I suffered from hysteria. I felt like they were like a pack of wolves, trying to tear my clothes to pieces and devour my body." He Tan confided in his heart.
"Brother Xun also visits places like that... His eyes are the same as those of those people, like a wolf trying to devour people, and his reluctance, like he wants to regret it at any time. I feel like he wants to eat us. He became the incarnation of these evil guests in my eyes, so I became disgusted with him... This is not right, he is my benefactor, this is not right..." He Tan's figure was distorted in the ghost state.
"Your Majesty, do you know the relationship between the benefactor and the beneficiary?" He Tan asked back, but did not give Xuannv a chance to answer.
"I am crazy, and it seems very ridiculous now. I bear his great kindness, but at the same time I hate him, because of my own hysteria, fear and fear of him, because I can scold back the lustful eyes of ordinary people, no matter what my brother's eyes are. , I can only escape, even if there is no malice, in fact, I want to marry him and it will be over, but his rejection made me realize that I am not worth mentioning. "
"Worthless, I am worthless in his eyes. My anger is mixed with hysteria, and there is a kindness as deep as the sea. I am sick, and I hate him like a hedgehog. He never cares about me, and he never cares about me. There is no point in competing against each other to marry or not, young lady is squeamish.”
"I have low self-esteem and am not attractive to him. He can have lust for anyone, but he has no interest in me, not to mention that I have this kind of hysteria that will occur when he sees me. I desperately want to repay his great kindness, no matter what Making clothes and shoes is just a drop in the bucket and gradually goes away.”
"I feel inferior because I, a woman who has been reduced to prostitution, am not worthy of him. Even if I am a maid for him, he won't want me. I am not worthy of him. I am just a down-and-out official lady. I can only dodge in fear from his eyes. He It's like cat and mouse with me."
"So you deliberately acted as a substitute to die for him?" He Tan said a lot today, and Xuan Nu had a good time.
"I am worse off than dead. I am tortured by hysteria. I want to repay his great kindness but I can't do anything about it, and at the same time I am hostile to him. That's why Sister Lanzhi notices it because she gets sick when he mentions his name. Thinking of all kinds of people who brought me up on the first day." People who are commodities.”
"I envy Sister Lanzhi, I really do. She may be the ideal woman in my eyes. She seems more dignified and hard-working than my mother..."
"Envy, jealousy, hate. She is ugly but she married Brother Xun. I am so jealous. Maybe I didn't realize it. I hate Brother Xun so much but I am so jealous."
"Because you are ill." Xuannv concluded briefly.
"It's just that I was sick. I reminded Sister Lanzhi of Brother Xun's lecherous nature, because she regarded me as her boudoir sister. Or maybe she wanted me to be Brother Xun's concubine. I had noticed it a long time ago."
"Her indifference caused me the most pain... because this sister is the most considerate of what I hate most about my illness..."
"There is no point in living. Can I marry anyone else besides asking my brother? Obviously I can only accept him in my situation, but as a hedgehog, I can only suffer alone, and I shouldn't harm him. After all, I am so unlovable, except for Maybe none of my parents like me, they have a new child, and they don’t need me anymore.”
"I took his place. I died for him. I wanted to die heroically so that Brother Xun would remember him, but my death was farcical. I was sober before my death, but I still had a tough mouth."
"I made him work hard again. He went to Jiuyou Huangquan to beg for Empress Xuannv. He didn't fail to look at me. It was me who tormented me all the time."
"At this time, he was like a father. The thieves were surrounding me and protecting my mother. But now he is the future husband. Supporting him and encouraging him is a wife."
