Zhao Ruxi is a person who pays attention to details. That day, she and Xiao Lingyan met in Bao Zhai, and the shopkeeper Wang was more respectful and affectionate to her than usual, so she guessed that there might be two reasons. One is that she persuaded Xiao Ruotong that day, and Xiao Ruotong went back to the British Mansion the next day; One possibility is that she worshipped Mr. Kang Shilin as a teacher, thus improving her status.

Therefore, when she went to Zhennan Wangfu for the second time, Princess Zhennan's attitude towards her was much more affectionate than the first time. She sent invitations, thinking that she also meant to make friends with herself. I would never be displeased because she was late for the banquet because she had business.

And what about displeasure? Zhao Ruxi didn't plan to deal with these women in the house more.

As for Zhu's desire to get more invitations by befriending the Zhennan Palace, and taking her to banquets more in the future, so as to meet more noble ladies, and finally achieve the goal of selling her out and finding a good family for her, she is even more grateful.

"Mother, if you think about what I did after I returned home, isn't it worth treating me like a boy? I have my own world, my deeds are in the court, and I am in my own achievements. I don't need to please the ladies and gain their favor to improve my status. ”

She patiently explained: "Just look at this time, why did Princess Zhennan send me an invitation?" Is it because I went to visit Master Xiao? No, mother. She's because I'm Mr. Deadwood's apprentice. ”

Zhu was startled and looked at Zhao Ruxi.

Zhao Ruxi nodded at her: "This time I helped Dali Temple to do things, not only those ladies of the family, but also the adults in the court should look up to me." I can rely on my ability, stand in front of people, live as a character myself, and be able to compete with the husbands and sons of these family ladies. Do I need to surrender my identity to please them? Doing so is not only useless to me, but harmful to me, and makes people look at it in vain. This is putting the cart before the horse. ”

"Well said." A majestic voice sounded outside the door, and immediately after, Zhao Yuanxun appeared at the door.

He looked at Zhao Ruxi, his dark eyes were amazingly bright, and the whole person was full of energy, and he was stunned for a moment.

How long has it been since she has seen a husband like this?

When Zhao Yuanxun was still the prince, he came to Zhu Mansion as a guest, and he was so high-spirited. It was only later that due to poor health, there was no hope for a career, so he fell silent and became unsmiling and silent.

"Sister Xi'er said this well. My Xiaoxi is already a character now, and he will be a celebrity like Mr. Deadwood in the future. The future is bright. Madame, you can't drag her to the inner house. It is extremely stupid to take the dark alleys instead of taking the bright road. ”

Zhao Yuanxun said as he walked in and sat down on the chair.

Zhu did not argue with her husband, nor did she feel unhappy because of her husband's words.

Because she knows Zhao Yuanxun too well. Zhao Yuanxun is a calm and humble person. If it weren't for the great good thing, Zhao Yuanxun would not have such a picture that he couldn't find the north.

"Did anything good happen to you?" She asked.

Zhao Yuanxun took the tea from the maid, drank it all, and then said very proudly: "Hey, guess, who am I having dinner with tonight?" Perhaps, who invited me to dinner tonight? Only then did Zhu and Zhao Ruxi notice that Zhao Yuanxun had a faint smell of alcohol.

Zhao Yuanxun basically does not drink alcohol because of his poor health. Unless there is a major occasion or a big happy event, it will drink two lamps to celebrate.

Zhu's mind quickly flashed through what had happened recently, and he really couldn't guess what good things could happen in Bofu.

Zhao Ruxi thought of Xiao Lingyan's words, but a bad premonition surged in his heart.

Sure enough, Zhao Yuanxun said triumphantly next: "It's Fu Yunkai, the little general of Pingnanhou." ”

"He invited you for a drink?" Zhu asked suspiciously, and then his eyes lit up, "He wants to invite you to serve in the army?" ”

Only in this way can the husband be so happy.

"Hahaha, it's not." Zhao Yuanxun laughed, looked at Zhao Ruxi and said, "He came to apologize to me." ”

"Really?" Zhu was also very happy to hear it, "It seems that General Fu Xiao is also a reasonable person. ”

"Isn't that?" Zhao Yuanxun said, "He personally invited me to drink in his courtyard, explained the purchase of the grange that day, and said a lot of words of admiration for me. Alas, I, Zhao Yuanxun, have been a waste all my life, but I didn't expect to be able to make a Xuanwu general apologize to me and befriend me. I thought about it, and it was all because our daughter was capable, and she was valued by the emperor and Lord Zhang of Dali Temple, and maintained by Mr. Deadwood and Lord Wu. ”

General Xuanwu is from the fourth grade. Fu Yunkai was able to make military exploits at a young age and became a general of Xuanwu, even if Zhao Yuanxun was older than him, he also admired him very much. Pingnanhou is a model for military generals.

A military attache is not the same as a civilian official. Literati are contemptuous, no matter how good others are, there are many who are not convinced. The generals are different, they are more simple. Those who are brave and good at fighting, can win battles and annihilate the enemy, and can make meritorious contributions with military exploits, no matter what their background, they admire them very much.

After all, the generals of the past dynasties fought with their lives on the battlefield.

When Zhao Ruxi heard Zhao Yuanxun's words, his face was a little strange.

She remembered what Xiao Lingyan said.

"In addition to apologizing, what else did he tell you?" She asked.

Zhao Yuanxun misunderstood what she meant.

He sighed and said, "No." I know what you want to ask. But my status is that he wants to invite me to serve in the army, and I can't go. What's more, the emperor personally ordered my idle post to be removed. He came to invite me every once in a while, and I was afraid of causing him trouble. ”

He waved his hand: "Forget it, I'll stay at home with peace of mind." I used to insist on taking up the post, but also because I wanted to find a way out for you and elevate your status a little. Now that you have a chance, and you pull your brother, I can rest assured that I will take care of my body at home. ”

When Zhu heard this, a smile appeared on his face: "Isn't that exactly what you said?" As I said a long time ago, you are stronger than anything else. ”

Zhao Ruxi listened to the conversation between the two and remained silent silently.

Although she didn't want to be amorous, she didn't feel that she was really a heartthrob. But with Xiao Lingyan's reminder, looking at Fu Yunkai's actions tonight, it is difficult for her not to think about it.

Fu Yunkai invited Zhao Yuanxun to dinner tonight, I'm afraid he came for her.

What is he trying to do?

Conquer the old father-in-law first, and want to use "the order of the parents and the words of the matchmaker" to directly give the family affairs and leave her alone?
