Yang said, "I don't dare to dance anymore. ”

Mrs. Chen reached out to take the cup and poured the tea, panting while casually asking, "Why?" As she spoke, she put a small cup full of it to her lips and drank it all, the tea was probably cold, but she was sweating profusely and it was estimated that it was very hot, and the cold tea tasted just right. It is said that good tea should be drunk little by little and savored, but Mrs. Chen also drank it in one gulp, and it seems that no one cares so much when she is thirsty.

Yang said softly: "After watching Mrs. Chen's dance, how dare I get an axe again." Fortunately, Lang Jun didn't see me dancing...... Lang Jun himself said that he didn't understand this, but just now you saw that your soul was out of your body. ”

Guo Shao listened and said: I really don't understand, but I'm not blind.

When Mrs. Chen heard that her soul was out of her body, she almost didn't squirt out the second cup of tea, and hurriedly pressed her fingers lightly on her lips, and her face turned red.

Guo Shao hurriedly said: "Singing and dancing is a hobby, and it is not the best person who dances to dance." When we went home, Yue'e also rehearsed a song for me to enjoy...... Heh, I'm not an expert anyway. ”

Mrs. Chen smiled lightly, a dimple appeared on her cheek, and her tone was teasing: "General Guo hasn't seen it yet, so he knows that Mrs. Yang is not the best dancer?" ”

This girl is really a needle in the cotton, and she has only met twice, and last time she was through the curtain, how could she be polite, but she spoke to embarrass herself? Guo Shao was suddenly put in.

Yang pursed his lips: "I just don't dance as well as Mrs. Chen, today I saw her first move and knew that I lost." ”

Listening to her tone, she didn't seem to be very convinced, otherwise she wouldn't say anything about winning or losing, I don't know if she was praising Chen Jiali or secretly competing. The rivalry between the women is also very persistent, but there is nothing wrong with it.

Guo Shao hurriedly took the opportunity to transfer embarrassment and said: "Then Yue'e will practice when she is fine...... There seems to be a small building on the north side of our home by the lake that no one lives in, go back and ask someone to clean up, buy what you need, and use it to practice dancing. ”

At this time, Mrs. Chen smiled and said, "I'm not the best jumper. ”

"Oh?" Guo Shao was surprised, "Is there anyone in this world who is more powerful than Mrs.?" ”

Mrs. Chen said: "There is heaven outside the sky, there are people outside the world, at least I know, Zhou Xian is smarter than me." ”

After Guo Shao heard this, he couldn't imagine how superb he could be with his personal performance skills alone, Mrs. Chen's dancing was out of his sights, and he naturally couldn't imagine what it was like to be more powerful than her.

He said: "Although I am a layman, I think that Mrs. Chen's neon dress and feather dance is already amazing, and the plain feather coat actually dances with neon colors. It is rumored that Zhou Xian is famous, maybe she just entered the palace and had a chance to show it, and she was noticed by the world, so there are many praises. Mrs. Chen lives in a secluded place, and her reputation is slightly inferior, but her skills are not necessarily worse than those who are famous far and near. ”

Mrs. Chen's eyebrows were slightly raised, and she said unceremoniously: "The singing and dancing skills are only seen by the princes and nobles who are drunk and dreaming of death, and it is not surprising that General Guo does not know this." ”

Guo Shao had no choice but to say: "I would like to hear Mrs. Chen's high opinion." ”

Chen Jiali said: "Although music and dance are not practical, they are also very capable of reaching high places. First of all, you must have qualifications, intelligent and understanding of the heart, bone muscles must also be born suitable, no matter how hard people practice without qualifications, it is useless, of course, with qualifications, they must practice from an early age......"

Guo Shao nodded and said: "It's the same as archery, and those who are powerful are not halfway monks." ”

Chen Jiali said: "That's right, but it's different from archery martial arts. Men learn martial arts, but they can also make meritorious contributions, and earn wealth for themselves while serving the country; What is the use of girls learning to dance? No woman aspires to become a dancing girl, but marrying a rich family is the best destination, since she has a reputation and identity, do you still need to sing and dance to entertain people? ”

Guo Shao asked with great interest: "Then why are Mrs. Chen, Zhou Xian and Yue'e all good at singing and dancing?" Especially that Zhou Xian, who should be the daughter of the Zhou family, a major family member of the Jiangnan country and an important minister of the imperial court, can't she be glorious and rich if she can't sing and dance? ”

Chen Jiali said with a smile: "General Guo doesn't hear that 'a soldier dies for a confidant, and a woman looks for a person who pleases himself', but appearance alone is not enough, and 'Rong' can also be said to be trying his best to win that person's love." Some women can sing and dance, but not for glory and wealth, but for favor. No matter how outstanding the dancing skills are and how high the heart is, if no one appreciates it, it is not interesting to appreciate yourself.

But for those who are not interested in themselves, it doesn't matter if they appreciate it or not, they don't care. It would be interesting to have someone you admire and be appreciated and pampered by him. For this reason, you can be willing to train for many years. ”

Guo Shao and Yang glanced at each other, and both of them felt that Chen Jiali's words were quite reasonable. The person with more background is reluctant to show up to be a dancer, but as long as he is appreciated by one person; Just like a man with excellent martial arts, he generally chooses to rest, not to be an assassin or a bandit, but only willing to serve the royal family.

For example, Guo Shao himself, he felt that if he was an assassin, he would definitely be able to do it professionally, hide and snipe the other party, shoot the key points with one arrow, and not be too sharp...... But would he do that? Therefore, it is extremely rare to say that there are any masters among the bandits; Those who really have martial arts have been bought by the imperial court, and there is no need to live in hiding.

Mrs. Chen said again: "Zhou Xian's background may not be as good as mine, but she admires the talent of the six princes of the Southern Tang Kingdom, and she got the opportunity to enter the palace again." The six princes of the Southern Tang Kingdom were interested in touring the mountains and rivers, reading and writing words in leisure, and had a lot of time to appreciate Zhou Xian's talents. In order to get the appreciation of his sweetheart, Zhou Xian naturally worked hard and had a good heart...... But I'm different, this neon dress and feather dance started rehearsing a few years ago, otherwise I wouldn't have thought about it now; I'm desolate, but Zhou Xian is rising, so she must be better than me now. ”

Guo Shao listened, nodded as if he understood: "You have to know how to appreciate it." ”

Unexpectedly, Yang pouted and said, "It's useless for a man to know how to sing and dance...... Only the ignorant little lady can look at the handsome little offspring who is only good at having fun, people like Lang Jun, only those who understand understand your good ......" She said this, her face flushed, she probably felt that what she said was too explicit, and she hurriedly diverted the topic and looked at Chen Jiali, "Lang Jun can ask Mrs. Chen, does she like that kind of little student?" The Shen family master is definitely not that kind of person. ”

Mrs. Chen's face darkened for a while after hearing this, and she said: "Of course, my husband doesn't know how to sing and dance, he is quite good at doing business, he is careful and generous when necessary, and he is born to be a businessman." ”

Yang hurriedly comforted her, saying that she should not mention Mrs. Chen's sadness.

Mrs. Chen said: "I can't let it go, I just think that he didn't do anything hurtful, but he died so miserably, if General Guo can defeat the Liao people and take revenge, maybe I can let go." ”

Guo Shao asked, "What is the name of the person who knows how to loot and massacre the Shen family master?"

Chen Jiali said: "The owner who released people back to ask for the ransom of the concubine is called Xiao Siwen, who is an important nobleman of the Liao State. Who plundered the caravan, but there is no way to know, most of them are the subordinates of the Khitan nobleman Xiao Siwen. The Xiao family used to be the Bali clan, and the surname was Xiao, which was a family that had been married to the Liao royal family for generations, and most of the prime ministers of the foreign dynasties were from the Xiao family and were very prominent. ”

"Xiao Siwen, this name is easy to remember, but if you remember Batrich, I'm afraid you will forget it." Guo Shao nodded and said, "When I follow the official family's Northern Expedition and destroy the Liao State, I will pay special attention to where Xiao Siwen is, and I will capture you and take revenge." ”

At this time, Yang said softly: "Lang Jun wants to be like catching Lu Mengjun?" ”

"Lu Mengjun?" Chen Jiali muttered, "I've heard of this person, what grievances do General Guo and Mrs. Yang have with him?" ”

Guo Shao hurriedly said: "It's nothing. It's all gone, and Yue'e doesn't have to be sad anymore. ”

After hearing this, Chen Jiali's gaze swept over Guo Shao and Yang's faces, and said quietly: "If General Guo can really capture Xiao Siwen, a nobleman of the Liao Kingdom, the concubine will definitely repay you." ”

Guo Shao said generously: "Even if it is not a personal vendetta, my Great Zhou Army should use the sword to force the Liao people to compromise, know a little humanity, and understand the truth that you come and go with each other and do not owe each other!" He sighed a little for a while, "The mountains and rivers of Shenzhou are splendid and the flowers are beautiful." Since we are in a position of power, holding military power, eating abundantly, and enjoying the essence of the people, we must defend this river and mountain and regain our might, and we have an unshirkable responsibility. ”

Chen Jiali listened and praised: "If the powerful people in the world are as open-minded as General Guo, how can Hebei be bullied and bullied by the enemy?" ”

Guo Shao said: "I don't care what others think, but I'm not lying in front of Mrs. Chen, I really think so." We are in a high position, no matter how we came up, since we have the national weapon in hand, we should indeed have some responsibilities in addition to asking for it. We people don't care about the world, do we want the unarmed people to take care of it? They are forced to make ends meet and do not even have enough to eat. ”

After some words, they only felt like-minded and had a good conversation.

But Mrs. Chen's face gradually became tired, and she probably consumed a lot of physical strength to dance that neon feather robe. She instructed Aunt Sun to put the prepared wine and food on the table, poured Guo Shao a glass of wine with her own hands, and never came out under the pretext of changing clothes.

After a while, Aunt Sun came out and said, "Madame is a little tired, I can't accompany you, please use a few distinguished guests slowly." ”

Guo Shao had no choice but to have lunch here. Mrs. Chen's wine is average, and it is estimated that she is not a drinker.

After eating, Aunt Sun handed over a red post and said, "The entry for the dowry has been prepared, and we will send someone to Guo's mansion tomorrow." ”

Guo Shao took a general look, and there were all kinds of silk fabrics, gold and silverware, and jewelry, all of which were valuable. He looked at the price written below, and roughly calculated that Mrs. Chen was afraid that she would lose a lot of money in this business...... Guo Shao couldn't help it, he couldn't give more money, because there wasn't so much, so he had to laugh.

The three of them said goodbye after dinner. When I walked out of the hall, I saw that the flowers in the treetops were blooming in the spring color, and there were petals on the ground. For a while, Guo Shao's heart was full of love and pity for all this...... I don't blame him for his kindness, it's really beautiful what he sees and hears.
