"Well, you are smart too. You were able to come up with this plan. My uncle praised you quite a lot when he told me about it."
Xia Tan'er didn't realize there was anything wrong with Dong Lingjiu calling Lu Yihai uncle. The two of them were together, so Dong Lingjiu would definitely have to call him uncle. Besides, the status of the Lu family was placed in Jiuzhou. There are only a handful of them in the mainland, but Dongling Jiuhuan's uncle took advantage of them.
However, Xia Tan'er's attention was not focused on the title. In comparison, she was more concerned about the four big words "Quite Appreciative" at the end.
"Humph, who wants his praise? At the last moment, he replaced me with someone else. Isn't it just because he's afraid of losing face? I don't care."
Xia Tan'er raised her head proudly like a peacock, and her awe-inspiring look did not seem to allow anyone to comment. If it weren't for the smile at the corner of her mouth, Dong Lingjiu would have been deceived by her arrogant look.
"My uncle also changed his mind temporarily because of you and Lu Jiajun."
Dongling Jiuzhen had spent all his patience on Xia Tan'er, and now he was trying to ease the relationship between Xia Tan'er and Lu Yihai.
Xia Tan'er's attitude toward the Lu family has not yet been made clear to Dong Lingjiu, but Dong Lingjiu knows that Lu Yihai really wants Xia Tan'er to succeed the family head, and he really likes this niece.
That's why he was willing to be the middleman to ease the relationship between the two.
But to Dong Lingjiu's expectation, Xia Tan'er had already discovered Lu Yihai's purpose of temporary substitution.
"Tch, I don't want to cure Ye Qing, but don't say it so righteously."
"you know?"
"I never fight an unprepared battle. It is said that if you know yourself and the enemy, you will be victorious in any battle. I asked Feng Muchi to check the names of my uncle's capable generals before. The other people's qualifications are generally better than their bravery. Only this Ye Qing used clever tactics in several battles. There’s definitely something bright about winning.”
"It's a pity that he is too proud, and because he has won many battles when he was just starting out, his tail must have been raised to the sky. I just restrained myself a little in front of my uncle."
"Such a person will not be able to become a great person if he doesn't realize that there is a world outside the world and there are people outside the world after a failure. My uncle loves Cai Cai very well, but he hopes that this person can grow better, so he will replace him temporarily."
"It just so happens that what I like to do most is to slap these proud young people in the face and dampen their spirits. Since my uncle and I agree, why not do it."
After listening to Xia Tan'er's long analysis, Dong Lingjiu curled his lips and smiled, looking at Xia Tan'er with doting eyes.
It's really unusual for a woman to have such an opinion.
The most important thing is that Dong Lingjiu knows that all this is Xia Tan'er's own idea. Lu Yimo has never taught her about people recognition and military tactics. In other words, Xia Tan'er alone is enough to defeat thousands of armies. century.
If possible, Dong Lingjiu really wants to hide Xia Tan'er so that no outsider can see her light. Unfortunately, this idea can only be thought about. A person is a person first and is not anyone's property, unless it is Otherwise, no one can cover up her shine, even if she is a prince or Xia Tan'er's future husband, she is not qualified to do so.
"Tan'er..."
"Um?"
"After the dust settles, how about we get married?"
"ah?"
Xia Tan'er couldn't help but shrink back. Instead of talking about the art of war and the situation, why did Dong Lingjiu suddenly change the topic to marriage?
Seeing the surprise on Xia Tan'er's face, Dong Lingjiu coquettishly buried his head on Xia Tan'er's shoulder and pitifully agreed with Xia Tan'er's request for status.
"If I don't take you into my possession soon, I'm afraid there will be thousands of men competing with me to snatch you away. By then, I really won't have the confidence that you will choose me unswervingly."
After saying this, Xia Tan'er just thought that Dong Lingjiu was praising herself.
However, when it comes to getting married, Xia Tan'er said that she must not be too hot-headed and agree too early. The more it is like this, the more rational it is.
She is an exquisite egoist and only thinks about herself in everything. Only when she understands everything clearly and investigates it thoroughly, and makes sure that everything is harmless or even helpful to her, will Xia Tan'er consider agreeing to it.
Previously, her hot-headed remarks had broken her heart. Xia Taner swore that this kind of thing would never happen again. So this time, Xia Tan'er didn't have the joy and shyness of her daughter's family at all, but looked at Dong Lingjiu with a serious face.
"Uncle Nine Emperors can get married, but you have to tell me all your secrets. I don't like the person on my pillow hiding anything from me."
As for her secret, wait until she feels that Dong Lingjiu has fallen in love with her to the point of bone marrow before she considers whether to tell him about the smart medical bag and that she is a modern person, otherwise all this will be unsafe. .
Dong Lingjiu paused, and for a moment pretended that nothing happened. He stood up from Xia Tan'er's shoulder and looked directly into her eyes.
"Now is not the time. I will tell you when the time comes."
"Then please ask Uncle Nine Emperors to come back and ask me if I am willing to marry you at that time."
Xia Tan'er was extremely rational and did not involve any emotions. She did not directly agree to Dong Lingjiu or make any guarantee. Instead, she only told Dong Lingjiu that he would be eligible to propose marriage only after she made it clear.
She is such a person. After being hurt, her first choice will always be herself. She can no longer trust the other party 100%. Keeping a line in everything is her last protection for herself.
"It's getting late, I need to rest. Uncle Nine Emperors, please excuse me."
The two of them would definitely quarrel if they continued talking about this topic. She really didn't want to be distracted during such an important time as the competition, so she ended the conversation directly.
Xia Tan'er stopped talking and turned over to sleep, but Dong Lingjiu couldn't help but fall into melancholy.
Looking at Xia Tan'er's back in the dark night, Dongling Jiu did not move for a long time. It's not that he doesn't want to tell Xia Tan'er what he wants to do, it's that Dong Lingjiu doesn't want Xia Tan'er to get stuck in it with him and be unable to extricate himself.
After sitting alone on the edge of the bed for a long time, Dong Lingjiu sighed, unbuttoned his coat and got into bed. He leaned forward and gently hugged Xia Tan'er into his arms.
He knew that Xia Tan'er was not sleeping, but he treated her as if she was sleeping. He took this opportunity to make a promise to Xia Tan'er as if talking to himself.
"In the future, Tan'er, I will definitely tell you all my secrets. Before that, don't leave me, okay?"
Dong Lingjiu only responded with steady breathing, but Dong Lingjiu knew that Xia Tan'er had heard it, so he moved closer to Xia Tan'er and hugged Xia Tan'er tightly to express his determination not to let go.
The moonlight was bright and clear, and the cold wind roared past the camp tent and blew the leaves around. There was silence all around. The two people on the bed had a sleepless night.
"Family status after Tanglin 9th Day is worrying"
