Xue Shao sent the moon slave to go to the Furong Garden Yixin Palace, and told Princess Taiping about the banquet tomorrow. The moon slave reported that the princess had promised to come to the banquet on time tomorrow.

This is the first time Princess Taiping has come to the Xue family's family banquet, which is quite meaningful.

When night fell, Xue Shao sat on a big chair, lit a candle, and looked at the "Forty-six Tips of the Art of War" given to him by Pei Xingjian.

There were not too many literate people in the Tang Dynasty, and the art of war can indeed be regarded as a taboo for this era. But for Xue Shao, a professional soldier from later generations, these theoretical knowledge of the ancient art of war are some clichés, which are not uncommon in movies, television and novels. A copy of "The Art of War" has set the essence of China's military use for thousands of years. Later generations of soldiers are nothing more than to improve and supplement on this basis.

But often clichés, when the vast majority of people do it, it is easier to see the high and the low. The art of war still has to be practiced to achieve true knowledge.

Xue Shao read the book for a while and thought to himself, the essence of the soldier family is a "murder weapon". But in this world, there can be no truly pure soldiers. Pei Xingjian, a generation of famous Confucian generals, is shrouded in the Confucian dogma of benevolence, and he is burdened with the mission of the emperor and the decision-making of the court. He has thousands of troops in his hands, but he is no match for a politician's clever mouth and a few light knives and pens.

Governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh, and the soldier is a knife cook in the family of the emperor and the minister.

Therefore, Xue Shao soberly planned his future life plan, first starting with a soldier, and then based on the temple. It's good to be able to play with a kitchen knife, but you can't be willing to be a cook forever!

A general who doesn't want to be a minister in power is not a good cook.

Yes, that's right!

Xue Shao looked at the wild speculation in his mind, and felt that there was a drop of cold stuff dripping onto his feet and neck.

Xue Shao looked down and saw that the moon slave was sobbing with his head bowed, and he couldn't bear to make a sound.

"I said you are a proud martial arts practitioner, why did you become so crying now?" Xue Shao said.

The moon slave hurriedly picked up his sleeves and wiped his face, "No, no!" It's just a little sleepy, yawning and tearing up tears. ”

"Do you believe it yourself?"

“…… Unbelief. The moon slave couldn't help laughing twice, and tears fell like beads with broken threads.

"Who bullied you?" Xue Shao asked.

"The moon slave is the child's person, and no one dares to bully." The moon slave still kept washing Xue Shao's feet and whispered.

"Don't beat around the bush, have something to say!" Xue Shao raised his voice a little, lifted his feet from the hot water, and stepped on the rim of the footbasin.

The moon slave was so frightened that he flicked back, biting his lip and lowering his head, holding one of Xue Shao's hands with both hands, and wanted to press it into the basin.

Silent.

Xue Shaoyi put this foot into the water, but the other foot was raised and aimed at the face of the moon slave, "If you keep silent, I will kick this foot on your beautiful face and stamp you with a foot seal!" ”

"Only mules and horses are stamped!" Yuenu couldn't help but laugh while crying, and reached out to cover his raised foot with both hands.

"Dead Eyes!" Xue Shao shook his head helplessly and stopped asking, and put his feet into the basin in compromise.

In fact, Yue Nu didn't say it, and Xue Shao also knew what she was thinking.

The thoughts in Yuenu's heart have always been very simple, and Xue Shao has always been very clear. But the moon slave never dared to say it, and Xue Shao never broke it.

It's not that I don't have courage, but I don't want to turn this courage into a loss and a burden.

The moon slave still washed Xue Shao's feet for a long time.

"If Childe goes on an expedition, can he bring a moon slave?" The moon slave finally couldn't help but say.

"Nope." Xue Shao resolutely refused.

"Why not?" This was almost the first time that the Moon Nu had questioned Xue Shao's orders.

Xue Shao frowned, "Marching and fighting is not child's play. There shall be no woman in the barracks. ”

"But Yuenu heard that there are many generals and even soldiers who will quietly bring their daughters with them. ...... in the army There are also prostitutes from time to time. Moon Nu whispered.

"That's someone else." Xue Shao's voice was cold.

The moon slave was stunned for a moment, and the movements of his subordinates also stopped.

Xue Shao blinked, lifted his toes, and splashed a few streams of water on the face of the moon slave.

The moon slave reflexively bounced up, hurriedly waved his sleeves and wiped his face, and spit out twice "poof".

Xue Shaoha smiled, "The taste of the footwashing water is good, right?" Look you're still wilting! ”

"Childe, the moon slave is reluctant for you to join the army!!"

As soon as Yue Nu shouted these words, the expressions of the two of them froze at once. The room was silent.

Xue Shao looked at the moon slave calmly, rubbing his feet against each other in the basin, making a slight sound of water.

Yue Nu's tears flowed out again, without saying a word, still kneeling down and silently rubbing Xue Shao's feet.

Long.

"I'll be back soon."

The moon slave nodded.

"I'm not in Chang'an, you have to guard the gate and take care of the demons."

The moon slave nodded.

"Come on." Xue Shao stretched out his arms.

The moon slave looked up, stunned.

"Hug it."

The moon slave plunged into Xue Shao's arms and cried.

Xue Shao hugged her and sat on top of him, stroked her back, and whispered in her ear, "When I become close to Princess Taiping, I will move to Princess Taiping's mansion to live." Then this house will be given to you, and you can live here forever. ”

Yue Nu hugged Xue Shao tightly, shook his head, and tears reached Xue Shao's neck, cold.

"This will always be my home and I will come back often. You and You'er are my family. ”

"The moon slave doesn't want a house, but he asks for the son's well-being, and he won't drive me away!"

"Silly!" Xue Shao patted her back and laughed softly, "Without you, who will wash my feet?" ”

The moon slave hugged Xue Shao tighter, as if he was holding the most precious thing in his life, and he didn't want to let go for a moment. It was as if as soon as she let go, she would lose the whole world.

"Childe, you want a moon slave tonight! …… The moon slave wants to give birth to a son to his son! ”

Xue Shao smiled immediately, "Miss Han, you have to be scared when you say that you are Han." ”

"The moon slave didn't dare to get scared...... "The moon slave raised his head and looked at Xue Shao with a confused expression.

Xue Shao said with a smile: "In the pre-Qin era, there were many dead soldiers who served on the expedition, and before they set out on the expedition, they would marry a bride and sleep for a few days, but they begged to keep a descendant. Do you mean that? ”

"No, no, no, the moon slave definitely didn't mean that......" the moon slave panicked, "Then don't give birth first!" ”

Xue Shao couldn't help but laugh and pointed to the window. Yue Nu listened with bated breath, and could vaguely hear Xue Yi and Wu Ming talking in a whisper in the outdoor patio, talking about Xue Shao's expedition.

Yue Nu hurriedly stood up, knelt down and washed Xue Shao's feet.

Raising his head, the teary slave smiled at Xue Shaowan.

Facts have proved that the female man is gentle, which is really unique.

Xue Shao gently wiped away the tears remaining on her face, "Be good, wait for me at home." ”

The moon slave nodded heavily, and tears fell like beads into the basin.

Xue Shao sighed lightly in his heart, the hero was short of breath and his children were long. The moon slave is still like this, tomorrow she will find out this matter to Princess Taiping, what will she do?

The next day, Xue Shao and his eldest brother distributed some of the roasted tail banquets that had not been sent out yesterday. Originally, Xue Shao wanted to go to Wu Chengsi and Wu Sansi's house to invite him, but because of what Princess Taiping said about Li Xiantong's instigation, Xue Shao still decided not to go in person, and only sent the housekeeper Chen Xinghua to run away.

Wu Zetiandu sentenced Shangguan Wan'er to the cold palace with "righteous annihilation", which was obviously to paralyze Li Xiantong's father and son. If Xue Shao came to visit Wu Sansi at this time, he might fall into Li Xiantong's eyes, which might make him mistakenly think that Xue Shao was going to make peace with Wu Sansi or confront him, Li Xiantong's father and son would be very nervous, and their vigilance would inevitably rise.

Moreover, in the final analysis, Xue Shao didn't really want to curry favor with Wu Sansi and the others. Anyway, please please, the martial arts brothers will come to the roasted tail banquet at noon the day after tomorrow, and it's their business if they don't come!

When they first arrived, Pei Xingjian and his wife came, bringing their three children.

The Xue Shao brothers and the Xiao family went out to greet them together.

In terms of origin, the Fenyin Xue family is equivalent to the Wenxi Pei family, and in terms of level, Xue Yi and Pei Xingjian are at the same level from the second rank to the founding county prince, but the gap between the two of their wives is big. Mrs. Xiao is from a high-ranking family like the Xiao family in Lanling, and the Kudi family is a woman from the Hu people in the Western Regions.

So Pei Xingjian felt that this was a bit polite.

Kudi didn't care much, and he didn't show any restraint. After seeing the ceremony, she asked Xue Shao, where is the demon girl, invite her to let me see!

Xue Shao laughed and asked the moon slave to bring the demon here.

"Ouch, this little girl must be eight or nine years old, right? It's so handsome and cute! When the Kudi clan saw the demon child, he said happily, "I have given birth to three sons but have never been able to give birth to a daughter, so let's let the demon girl be my righteous daughter!" ”

The demon pouted and whispered, "I'm almost thirteen......"

As soon as Kudi's words came out, it can be said that the speaker has the intention of the listener.

If the two families of Xue Pei want to become world friends, marriage is the most effective method. But Pei Xingjian's sons are still young, so this matter is not very easy to handle.

Although the demon was from a low background, she couldn't match Xue Shao's liking, and regarded her as a sister. In addition, Xiao also likes demons very much, and when he came to Chang'an, he took her with him every day to teach her piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, as if he were his own. From this point of view, although the demon is a person with a foreign surname who was picked up, he is like a member of the family in Xue Shao's family.

The marriage is not easy to achieve, so the Kudi clan proposed to accept the demon child as a righteous daughter, and the meaning conveyed is too obvious - I can accept a little girl that you Xue Shao likes as a righteous daughter, how much respect I have for your Xue family!

Mrs. Pei is so important to save face, Xue Yi and Xiao Shi can't raise any more questions. Pei Xingjian just smiled and didn't say much, first, he was used to spoiling his young wife, and he really liked the little girl You'er; Second, this is indeed a good thing that does not hurt. With the bridge of You'er, it will be more convenient for the two families to move around in the future, and the relationship will be closer.

Xue Shao felt that it was not unreasonable for Pei Xingjian to love him, a hot young wife, so much. Kudi is indeed a very smart and daring to think and be a "big woman" without taboos.

In terms of personality alone, the Kudi clan seems to be more suitable for being an official than Pei Xingjian.
