Theodora was obviously dissatisfied with Guo Kang's answer, and was about to speak when a "bang" came from the roof.
Jeanne and Meltem both jumped up and looked at each other and then at the roof. But Guo Kang reacted this time and hurriedly stopped them.
"This time it's Li Xuanying who's here." He said, "Let me just say, last time the voice was too soft and I didn't hear it. It must not be him."
"How many times has he been here? Can you tell the difference by his voice?" Theodora asked.
"No way, he often comes uninvited." Guo Kang said, "If my mother was here..."
Halfway through the words, there was another "bang" on the roof, this time the sound was louder.
"What's going on?"
Jeanne and Meltem couldn't hold back this time, and both rushed out. Meltem still threw the towel from the door, and Jeanne waved her hand and pulled out a medicine cartridge from her waist, wiped it, and threw it out of the window.
Only this time, no one jumped to intercept. The cartridge began to spit out smoke quickly before it hit the ground. The two of them filed out of the window and jumped to both sides, very skillfully, and they couldn't tell that this was their first time cooperating.
This was not the first time that Guo Kang saw a chimney made of phosphorus. He was already used to it being thrown into his own yard by heroines. He walked to the window in time and closed it to prevent smoke from drifting in.
Sure enough, there was a sound of landing, fighting and Li Xuanying's screams outside. Guo Kang shook his head helplessly, walked to the side, and prepared to close the door. Unexpectedly, as soon as it was half closed, someone came straight in and knocked him aside on the spot.
"Copycat guy! There's an assassin!" Tuohuan rushed into the room, shouting nervously.
"What are you calling for!" Theodora couldn't help but stood up and scolded him.
"Huh?" Tuohuan didn't seem to understand the situation, but he didn't seem to care about it. He waved his hand and said, "You hide for now. Where's Guo Kang'an? Copy the guy, go and save Li Xuanying!"
"I'm here!" Guo Kang climbed up from behind the door and said angrily.
Tuo Huan turned around and glanced at him in surprise. However, at this time, footsteps were heard from behind - Jeanne dragged Li Xuanying in, followed by Meltem, still holding his stick.
He ran out in a hurry, and with agility that was somewhat inconsistent with his body size, he jumped over the sofa, then squatted behind it, with only his eyes exposed, and began to confront the two people.
"Okay!" Theodora, who had been trying to remain restrained, seemed to be getting angry: "What the hell are you doing!"
"?" Tuohuan raised his head and looked at her doubtfully, trying to figure out the situation.
"They are Guo Kang's guests." Theodora said briefly: "You two suddenly jumped on the roof. They thought they had been robbed and wanted to go out to catch the thief."
"Huh?" Tuohuan finally realized what he was doing, but he still looked at Theodora: "But, sister, why are you here too?"
"What's wrong with me here?" Theodora asked back: "Isn't it okay for me to come in through the main entrance and pay him a formal visit? You don't have to go through the good door, but you have to climb over the wall or go through the roof. What do you mean? "
"Well, Li Xuanying said it was fun." Tuohuan decisively confessed his accomplice.
"Don't I think it's interesting?" Li Xuanying, who had just been let go, quickly defended: "And I see that Guo Kang's house has always been very lively, and people often walk on the roof. Then we can do it too, right?"
"Those people are looking for Guo Dawu." Theodora explained for Guo Kang: "They... are all charlatan heroines with a special status, so they don't go through the main entrance. What are you trying to learn from me?"
"We are looking for the son of Guodaus." Tuohuan pointed out: "They can do it, why can't we?"
"You can't say that." Guo Kang quickly stopped him: "If the Greeks hear it, our three reputations will be ruined."
"?"
Guo Kang had no choice but to briefly tell them what they had just discussed.
"Let's discuss business." He said, "If you don't have anything to do, just come back and play some other time."
"It's okay, we can also help." Li Xuanying volunteered: "Isn't it just a matter of reception? We can help you arrange it and let Zhu Wenkui pick him up."
"No, there is some argument here, and he needs to avoid it." Guo Kang shook his head and said, "Have you calculated their ages?"
"What's wrong?" Tuohuan was stunned.
"Princess Jeanne is five years older than Zhu Wenkui. In terms of age, we should call her sister instead of aunt." Guo Kang simply explained: "The French may not care, but he must find a way to avoid it. . We can’t directly announce that ‘let the crown prince take care of the princess’. This is not a question of where she lives, but it’s not a good idea to use this name.”
"ah……"
"So, I'm afraid we can't just leave the princess to him." Guo Kang said, "Do you have any other options? How can we avoid France or other forces from directly questioning us, and how can we accommodate her?"
"Then... I think even if he is not allowed to come forward to entertain, I still have to ask him." Tuohuan still suggested: "The old Zhu family should have their own habits. When encountering such troublesome guests from afar, What should be done?”
"I guess he can't ask this." Guo Kang shook his head and muttered: "Troublesome guests coming from afar... According to the precedent of the old Zhu family, the princess's ship will have to be scuttled."
"?"
"Nothing." Guo Kang quickly waved his hand and stopped telling Ming Hell jokes.
"I think we can just say that we arranged it for King Wu." Li Xuanying suggested: "It was said before that the French refused to recognize their marriage, but we haven't publicly acknowledged it yet, right? Just say that she was recruited by her husband. Yes, isn’t that enough?”
"I heard from gentlemen that a woman obeys her father before she is married, and she obeys her husband when she is married. Before she gets married, she should obey her father, the King of France. But after she gets married, the priority of King Wu's orders is higher than that of the King of France. Order." He calculated and analyzed.
"In this case, we can use King Wu's request as a reason to tell the French that we are also acting according to the rules and have no choice. We can turn around and talk to his family."
"Is this okay?" Tuohuan looked at him and then at Guo Kang.
"He knows how to quote classics, which is better than yours." After Guo Kang finished speaking truthfully, he raised his own question: "But I don't think this method is feasible. If nothing else, the French are really Do you recognize the three obediences and the four virtues?"
Li Xuanying obviously hadn't thought about this problem either, and she and Tuohuan looked at each other in confusion.
"Not to mention France, we probably don't have anyone who abides by this. Do the French believe it?" He pointed out: "Look at me..."
In the middle of speaking smoothly, he stopped quickly to prevent those people from leaking the information and complaining to his adoptive mother: "Look at us in Rome, we don't see anyone abiding by this."
"You repeated the two sentences before and after." Theodora reminded: "There is no need to say such words twice."
"oh……"
