Chapter 169: Conditions
Xiahou Hui breathed a sigh of relief. Cao Miao was relieved, this time it was not in vain.
She looked at Cao Miao twice, and considered whether to take advantage of the situation to strike the iron and set the relevant time, or slow it down, so that Cao Miao had a time to adapt. Judging from Cao Miao's constant twisting of his body, he is now highly nervous, and if he pushes too hard, it is likely to be self-defeating.
Princess Deyang had similar worries, coughed, and glanced at Xiahou Hui. Although she is a princess and Mrs. Xie is only Cao Zhi's concubine, the two are not equal, but they have known each other since childhood, and they have the face of the empress dowager, as a guest, they can't be too strong.
Xiahou Hui weighed the pros and cons, accepted Princess Deyang's suggestion, breathed a sigh of relief, and said a few words of gossip.
Cao Miao relaxed a little, her eyes were blank, she thought to herself for a while, and suddenly said, "How does she look?" Without waiting for Xiahou Hui to answer, he said: "If you are as insidious as her brother, I don't want it." ”
Xiahou Hui rolled his eyes involuntarily. Sima Shi's appearance is not handsome, at least it can't be compared with Xiahou Xuan, but in terms of insidiousness, Cao Miao is also damaged enough.
But for some reason, after Cao Miao said this, Xiahou Hui recalled Sima Shi's appearance and felt that Sima Shi was a little sinister.
The so-called relationship is born from the heart, Sima Shi's character is unknown to others, but she is clear. To describe him as insidious is not an exaggeration.
Xiahou Hui suppressed the inexplicable unhappiness in his heart and said: "Although my sister-in-law is not stunning, she is also both virtuous and groomed. She has read and learned etiquette since she was a child, has a delicate appearance, and has a slender figure and a heroic spirit. ”
"It's just that it's not beautiful." Cao Miao argued: "Yun Gong is going to marry the daughter of the Zhen family in the future, if my wife is too far behind the daughter of the Zhen family, wouldn't I be very faceless?" ”
Xiahou Hui was also a little embarrassed. She has also seen the daughter of the Zhen family, although she is not a national color like Empress Wenzhao Zhen, her appearance is also superior. Compared to her, Sima Guo was obviously a little far away. It's a shame that Cao Miao said that she can't be too far behind the daughter of the Zhen family, if she wants to be as beautiful as the daughter of the Zhen family, then it will be no fun.
Despite this, you have to prepare when you go back, and you can't be disgusted by Cao Miao because of her appearance. If you really want that, it's better not to go on a blind date.
Xiahou Hui thought about it and decided to say it in advance. "Looks vary from person to person, whether you like it or not, it depends on your preferences. You might as well tell me what you like, and if so, say it. If it is not suitable, it will be enough to marry a few more beautiful concubines at that time. Wives choose virtue, concubines choose colors, human nature. ”
Cao Miao squinted at Xiahou Hui, and said in his heart that this sound easy-going, but in fact he was ruthless. Everything else can be discussed, and the matter of marrying the Sima family cannot be discussed.
"If it's like you, I'm afraid it won't work." Cao Miao turned her head to look at Xiahou Yan who was nestled beside Princess Deyang. "If it's like Xiaomei, it's more than enough."
Xiahou Yan was listening to Cao Miao and Xiahou Hui fighting, and suddenly heard Cao Miao mention herself, and the implication was that she was more beautiful than her sister, so she suddenly became shy and turned her head to hide in the arms of Princess Deyang. Xiahou Hui rolled his eyes involuntarily. Even though Xiahou Yan is her own sister, she is still a little uncomfortable when she is evaluated by Cao Miao in person.
You actually say I'm ugly? Is it because I am older and have had children?
Taking advantage of the depression in Xiahou Hui's heart, Cao Miao then said: "You also know my situation, it is estimated that he will be a rich idler in this life, and it is impossible to become an official." If your sister-in-law marries me, don't have too high expectations. If not, it's better not to ask for trouble, lest she complain about you and say that you have delayed her life. ”
Xiahou Hui couldn't help but snort: "You don't have to worry about this." It was her parents' decision, not mine. ”
"Okay, I have one last question." 8090
Xiahou Hui gritted his teeth, both regretting that he had responded to this matter, but also glad that it was finally over. "What's the problem?"
"Is she smart?"
Xiahou Hui raised his eyebrows and looked at Cao Miao without speaking.
Cao Miao lowered her eyebrows, picked at her nails, and her expression wandered. "It's too stupid to speak. It's too smart to do it, she'll bully me. ”
Xiahou Hui was stunned for a moment, and he didn't know what to say for a while. She looked at Princess Deyang and Mrs. Xie, but saw that they nodded in agreement. Think about it, Cao Miao is not an ordinary person, he is a patient. If you marry a woman who is too smart as a wife, you are likely to be played by the other party in the future. But if the other party is too stupid, he can't adapt to this kind of life.
Anyway, Cao Miao is a clan after all, and there are many contacts, and he needs a competent housewife to preside over Cao Miao's housework. If nothing else, at least you need to be familiar with various etiquette and not make jokes on occasions that you have to attend.
"Smart or not, how to judge?" Xiahou Hui was also a little embarrassed. "If I think she's smart, but you think she's stupid, what?"
Princess Deyang and Mrs. Xie also felt reasonable. This is really not easy to judge. Even Xiahou Yan pricked up his ears and quietly looked at Cao Miao to see if he had any way to solve this problem and determine whether Sima Guo was smart or stupid.
"It's easy to do." Cao Miao is confident. "On that day, I will ask ten questions, in triplicate, in addition to Sima Guo, you and Xiaomei will also have to answer. If it's better than Xiaomei, it's too smart. If it's worse than you, it's too stupid. If Sima Guo can answer the question between you and Xiaomei, it meets my requirements. ”
Xiahou Hui couldn't cry or laugh. She understands that Cao Miao hates her and targets her everywhere, just now she is ugly, and now she is called stupid.
"What if I answer better than my little sister?" Xiahou Hui couldn't help but ask.
"Impossible." Cao Miao tilted her head and thought about it, and then said, "If that's the case, as long as Sima Guo's results are between you." ”
Xiahou Hui laughed and raised his plump hand. "A gentleman's word?"
Cao Miao looked at her, stretched out her palm, looked at it, and reluctantly slapped Xiahou Hui three times, and then quickly withdrew it, and kept wiping it with the corner of her clothes, as if it was stained with something dirty. Xiahou Hui was angry and funny, and his mood became relaxed.
"Ah Yan, you can't cooperate with him to cheat. If you let me know that you have private contact with him, no matter what you say, I will not agree. ”
Xiahou Yan was stunned for a moment, and then shouted: "Sister, what did you say, why did I have private contact with him?" I'm just looking for green peaches to play. She soon understood again. I see, you're afraid of losing to me, you don't have the face, right? Then I want to compare myself with you and let you know that I can beat you openly and honestly, and I don't have to cheat at all. ”
Xiahou Hui looked at Cao Miao with a smile and a smug expression. "That's great. When the time comes, let him see who is smart and who is stupid. ”
Cao Miao rolled her eyes, ignored Xiahou Hui, turned to Xiahou Yan and said, "You like Qingtao so much, why don't you let her stay at your house for a few days?" Otherwise, some people will say that we have private contact and are suspected of fraud. ”
Xiahou Yan couldn't ask for it, and clapped his hands.
Xiahou Hui wanted to object, but he rolled his eyes and didn't say anything.
