Du Hengshuang thought about it, the county lord's husband is the guest of honor, and it is two grades lower than Xiao Shiji's Zhengyipin, which is the second grade, which is the same as the county lord's grade, and Du Hengshuang, the Zhengyi's wife of Qinguo, is also two levels lower.

In this way, although it is inferior to their Zhuguo Mansion, for Xiao Tai and this white body, it is a leap into the dragon gate. ——From no product to second grade, isn't it just a fish leaping into the dragon gate?

Besides, because they are two grades lower than them, they don't have to worry that Xiao Tai and he has a backer, and he will be ruthless in his family.

Of course, it also cut off Qi Yuexian's back road. As the saying goes, don't bully the poor of the youth, and don't bully the beauty for a while. Beauty always has a better chance of making a comeback than others, and the daughter of Qi Yue Immortal's famous family clan, there are actually many people who want to marry her. In case she wants to marry a more powerful family, and then pry that family to go against their Xiao family, they may not be able to bear it.

Du Hengshuang and Xiao Shihe both understood now. Although the emperor and empress are not bad to them, but this life is still so long, there is really no guarantee that they will be able to continue to be favored. And the cost of the emperor's turn is too low, so he really doesn't need to think about his courtiers.

Besides, if one day, their interests are opposed to the interests of the emperor, it is time for them to rely on themselves.

And at that time, they can only hope that there are as few people who have the ability to do against them as possible, and at the same time, they hate them, and those who have an enmity with them have long been cleaned up by them, so that they can concentrate on their own business.

Therefore, letting Qi Yuexian marry Xiao Tai and his concubine, no matter how you think about it, it is a good move. And as far as the current situation is concerned, there are still great benefits to Xiao Shiji's reputation.

Because Qi Yuexian was originally the concubine of the Xiao family in Lanling, and she was also the imperial daughter of Xiao Milling, after the authentic scholar clan, it was more than enough to match Xiao Taihe.

"However, although your abacus is good, will Qi Yuexian be willing? Besides, the Emperor's holy decree gave her to you as the wife of the concubine. Du Hengshuang was very skeptical. Not to mention Xiao Taiji, just look at Qi Yuexian's goal all the time is Xiao Shiji, Du Hengshuang didn't believe that Qi Yuexian would be willing to marry Xiao Taiji.

Xiao Shiji raised an eyebrow. Said disapprerovingly: "Who asked her if she wanted to?" - By this time. She had to be willing if she didn't want to! ”

"Huh? So what do you want? Du Hengshuang said strangely, "She doesn't want to, can you still force her to marry?" ”

Xiao Shiji sneered: "She used means to let the Emperor Taishang issue an order to be with you." I didn't ask if we wanted to. Why do we ask her if she wants to? ”

Du Hengshuang was silent. These words. She wasn't surprised at all. For Xiao Shiji, his heart is actually very hard. If you look at his methods and scheming to deal with Qi Yuexian, you will know that Lu Dao is a woman who did not make him tempted. He cleaned it up mercilessly.

Only Mu Ye came.

Compared with Qi Yuexian, Du Hengshuang felt more and more that Mu Yelai was different in Xiao Shiji's heart, and he couldn't help but feel even more uncomfortable, and his face naturally came out.

Xiao Shiji had been watching Du Hengshuang's face attentively, and soon noticed a slight change in her mood.

"What's wrong?" Xiao Shiji hurriedly asked, "Do you think it's inappropriate to do this?" ”

Du Hengshuang shook his head. No matter how Xiao Shiji dealt with Qi Yuexian, Du Hengshuang had no opinion. What she has an opinion about is why he is different from Mu Yelai......

"Then why aren't you upset?" Xiao Shiji asked again.

Du Hengshuang was stunned. She didn't expect Xiao Shiji to notice it, so she lowered her head and said lightly: "No, I'm not unhappy." ”

"Really?" Xiao Shiji reached out and lifted her chin and carefully checked her expression, "You still say no." I can tell......" He paused, not knowing what to say.

"Didn't we say okay? Something to discuss? I'm talking to you today, how can you not speak? Xiao Shiji said again, retracted his hand, and looked at Du Hengshuang quietly, "If you have anything to say, just tell me." ”

Xiao Shiji turned to hold Du Hengshuang's hand, and the other palm rubbed lightly on the back of her tender little hand, cherishing it.

"I know that you have something on your mind, I ......" Xiao Shiji originally wanted to ask again, but suddenly he thought of that day, An Zichang gave him a chance to hear Du Hengshuang's true heart.

Thinking of this, Xiao Shihe sighed infinitely. Once upon a time, Du Hengshuang's thoughts were only told to him alone. He was the person who knew her best in the world. But since when did they drift apart?

He was once extremely anxious about his own affairs, and he didn't bother to listen to her anymore.

She slowly closed the door to him.

Now he wanted to enter the door again, but it would cost him more than before, with more energy, and more effort than before.

But he deserves it. Since he did wrong before, he can make up for it now, and I just hope it's not too late.

Xiao Shihe was blessed in an instant, thinking that the reason why Du Hengshuang's mood suddenly turned bad was because she cared about his attitude?

Du Hengshuang looked at Xiao Shiji, and also hesitated in his heart, whether to tell him again.

But she really didn't want to mention Mu Yelai's name again.

Du Hengshuang held Xiao Shiji's hand with his backhand, and still said to him: "...... I'm thinking, your attitude towards Qi Yuexian and your attitude towards others are really very different. ”

She said it so implicitly.

Xiao Shiji didn't understand it all at once.

Until the next day's New Year's wine banquet, he saw Feng Pei Dun come over to toast him, and said: "Yelai is pregnant again, she can't come to this year's New Year's wine, let me apologize to you." And let you not blame your wife, although your wife didn't send her a post, she doesn't care, let alone blame her. After a pause, he said: "Yelai is a generous and kind woman, she was able to save your life regardless of any gains and losses, and she knew her character." This is to remind Xiao Shiji not to forget that Mu Yelai has saved his life.

Xiao Shiji only then understood what happened to Du Hengshuang's mood change last night.

The "others" that Du Hengshuang said were probably Mu Ye.

She was saying that he treated Qi Yuexian and Mu Yelai differently.

And not only Du Hengshuang thinks so. Mu Yelai himself must think so.

Seeing that Mu Yelai dared to let Feng Pei Dun come over to spread this kind of words, and clearly applied Du Hengshuang's eye medicine in front of him, he knew that Mu Yelai himself also thought that she was different in Xiao Shi's heart......

Mu Yelai's posture really disgusted Xiao Shiji, depressed him, and made him even more uncomfortable. He thought that Du Hengshuang must have felt more uncomfortable than him last night, and he was not good.

is such a person who is inconsistent and vicious, he actually thought she was a pitiful person, and he felt a little pity for her, and thought that if she lived well, he could live well!

it! He's trying to be rude!

If only time could be turned back. He wanted to go back to when he was stupid. Kill that stupid self directly!

It's a shame......

Xiao Shiji grimaced, holding a wine glass and said, "...... Well, we weren't going to send you an invitation to your concubine. Today, please invite New Year's wine, only the main room can come out to socialize. Don't be biased. There is a misunderstanding with my wife. ”

Feng Pei Dun was also stunned. He pricked up his ears. Surprised: "Really? Do you only ask for the main room? He shook his head and muttered, "Yes, she is the second room." Indeed...... The identity is not as good as others, and it is humiliating to come out to socialize. I should still think of her as a concubine. Otherwise, her children will all be concubines, which is really not good-looking. ”

Xiao Shiji was also stunned, his ice-like expression couldn't be maintained. With his lips slightly open and his long eyebrows raised, he really didn't know what to say.

This Mu Yelai is really capable......

No wonder he was so angry that he was so angry with him that he made trouble with him every day......

Xiao Shiji wanted to smile bitterly again, and patted Feng Pei Dun's shoulder, "Brother Feng, isn't this okay?" Aren't you without a son-in-law? Let's talk about it later. Think about it, her father was beheaded by the emperor. Her sister ...... Filthy palace eunuchs, so that the emperor was humiliated, and he died in the palace in vain. Are you sure you want her to be your main room? You have to know that Lu Dao, to be a partial house, no matter who makes it, even in the palace of His Majesty, there is also the sister of the former general as his concubine. But the main room can't do it. Will you Feng family agree? ”

After saying this, Feng Pei Dun hesitated again.

He has been in Lingnan for a long time, and he doesn't care much about the distinction between shishu and scholars.

Besides, in the Lingnan Tusi family, there is still polygamy, and several big wives are everywhere, and he is also under the influence of his ears and eyes, and he does not see the matter of merger as important as the people in the Central Plains.

As far as he is concerned, as long as his father-in-law does not object, he can immediately bring Mu Ye to justice and straighten him out.

Of course, when Xiao Shiji said this, he still remembered the stakes, so he smiled and said, "I'm just talking." If you know these girls, you will know that they are troublesome. At home all day long, they are either fighting for clothes and jewelry, or fighting for private rooms, which is annoying to death. He asked Xiao Shiji again, "I heard that you don't have a concubine yet, do you want me to help you find a few stunning women?" Ha Luha, of course, there is no beauty like your wife, but your wife is also old, no matter how stunning she is, she is tired of watching it for so many years, I will get you a few eleven or twelve years old, how about a young lady who is bright and young? Keep it outside, and keep your wife without knowing what to do. ”

Xiao Shiji was embarrassed again, and hurriedly excused himself: "No, no, I'm not a woman." Besides, my family is poor and can't afford to support so many women. ”

Feng Pei Dun was stunned, "Are you poor? Aren't you a famous rich man? When I heard that, you also gave 100,000 taels of silver at night, saying that it was to thank her for saving her life. ”

That incident is simply a shame for Xiao Shihe and his life, Feng Pei Dun really can't open any pot.

Xiao Shiji said angrily: "Yes, it was because I gave her 100,000 taels of silver to pay off the debt that I was poor." Let me tell you, I will use this 100,000 taels of silver to repay her life-saving grace, everyone in Chang'an City knows the Tao, you don't need to see it once, just mention it once, right? ”

Feng Pei Dun himself is not a person who is bad for silver, and he doesn't think that 100,000 taels of silver can make Xiao Shihe poor, he looked at the furnishings of the middle hall, and said with a smile: "Zhu Guogong, you are not kind." Depending on the usage of your family, how can it be ......"

Xiao Shihe said seriously: "Didn't your concubine tell you?" My wife's dowry is all over Chang'an City, and I can't find a second person more abundant than her. In our house, we all live on her dowry. Do you think I'm so shameless as to use my wife's dowry to raise a little wife outside? ”

Feng Pei Dun smiled embarrassedly, and said with a smile: "Ha Luha, it's okay. Zhu Guogong has no silver to spend, some people want to give you silver, don't worry, don't worry......" said as he returned to his position and drank with others.

Mu Yelai's eldest brother, Mu Dagongzi, is now following Feng Pei Dun as an entourage, and today he came to the Zhuguo Mansion to eat New Year's wine.

When Feng Pei Dun was talking to Xiao Shiji, Mu Dagongzi was standing not far away eating wine, listening to them with his ears pricked up.

Xiao Shiji's words, he listened to them in his ears from beginning to end, and he was very emotional.

After Xiao Shiji said this, he felt aggrieved and panicked, so he didn't go to the outside corridor and stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the scenery in the courtyard.

Master Mu quietly followed, and said softly to Xiao Shiji: "Grandpa Guo......"

Xiao Shiji turned around and carefully identified it, only to remember that this was Master Mu, frowned and asked him, "What's the matter with you?" ”

"It doesn't matter. It's just a little emotional. I remember that year, I went to Gangneung to borrow money from you, and without saying a word, you gave my sister 100,000 taels of silver. At that time, I really felt that you were a role model for our men! Master Mu gave a thumbs up and praised Xiao Shiji.

"What model?" Xiao Shiji's face turned red, and he faintly felt that Mu Dagongzi was a dog who couldn't spit out ivory in his mouth.

"Of course it's a role model! - At that time, you were justified in using your wife's dowry to support your outer room, oh no, to support your life-saving benefactor......"

"Shut up!" Xiao Shiji was so angry that he kicked over.

Master Mu jumped away with a smile, hid behind the pillars of the cloister, and looked at Xiao Shiji from behind the pillars.

Xiao Shiji looked at Mu Dagongzi, remembered the past when he was saved by Mu Ye in Mobei, his heart moved, and he pulled Mu Dagongzi to sit down on the edge of the corridor, and asked him: "Do you remember when your sister went to Mobei?" "That year, Mu Ye came to Mobei to save him.

Grand Master Mu nodded, "Of course I remember." She disappeared for a whole year, and my mother-in-law knocked on the side for a long time before she realized that she had gone to Mobei, which scared all of us. ”

"Then do you know Lu Dao, why did she suddenly go to Mobei?" Xiao Shiji had suspected it before, but there was no conclusive evidence, and later he believed Mu Yelai. It wasn't until that day that An Zichang suddenly told him that Mu Yelai was not what she showed, and he regained his suspicion about the "life-saving grace" of the year.

This matter must be clarified, otherwise he will always have a pimple in his heart.
