The small courtyard of ordinary people's houses is a little messy due to the tidying up of the owner's house.

That's right, the consolidation of the master's house.

Dong packed his luggage and prepared to go to live in the Yuguo Mansion, classify the rouge gouache, and take away the small and precious things, and forget the big things.

"What are you thinking, how can you mix clothes together like this?" looked at He Tan's unyielding appearance.

Dong sighed, took out the clothes from the package He Tan packed, and reclassified them.

"Mother, what should I do if I find out that I am wrong about something?" He Tan's little face was tangled.

When encountering things that are beyond comprehension and fixed thinking, I instinctively seek help from my mother.

"What happened yesterday." Dong put down the work in his hand, walked in front of He Tan, touched her little head, and said softly.

Delicate hair, a small head, and a cute little face with a tangled.

"Mother, Brother Ken really likes Sister Laneige." He Tan felt that although the tone was flat, she couldn't believe it, and Dong felt it.

"Everyone has said that his wife has four virtues, and now the whole Jizhou knows about it, don't you believe it?" Dong smiled, his eyes reflected He Tan's face somewhat similar to his own, and touched his bulging belly, it was six or seven months, and it was becoming more and more difficult to move around now.

"No, that's not right...... It shouldn't be like this. He Tan shook his head, trying to shake the humiliation of yesterday out of his mind.

The feeling of being held in your arms and watching her enjoy the joy of victory, and then tasting the bitter fruits of defeat herself, was too uncomfortable, too uncomfortable.

was killed by Si Qinmi, completely defeated, became a harlequin in a comedy, was humiliated, his predictions came to naught, anxiety and worry became unfounded worries, and people laughed at them.

"What's wrong, I looked at Mrs. Wei, she has a moderate demeanor, she is from a big family, she has good talent and morality, Mr. Zhuang, no, what's wrong with Zhuang Yushi liking her?" Dong understood He Tan's words and said deliberately.

"No, no, Mother...... What's the matter, ask your brother to already supervise the imperial history, and even send an envoy to Chengguo. He Tan saw that Dong didn't understand what he meant, so he denied two sentences and told Dong about Zhuang Xun's current identity.

"I already knew this, and I also knew that there are two places where he is coming to negotiate now, one of which is where he will take office in the future." Dong Shi said disapprovingly, she knew what He Tan wanted to say, but she just didn't say it.

"Mother, forget it, you won't understand." He Tan thought that Dong didn't understand, and took a step back, leaving Dong's palm.

"I don't understand, how can I understand if you don't tell me, it's all speculation?" Dong chuckled and said, encouraging He Tan to speak his heart.

"I thought Sister Laneige was quite pitiful." He Tan faced his mother's gentle eyes and slowly expressed his feelings.

"Pathetic? Is she separated from Zhuang Yushi? Indeed, a woman's fate is always so involuntary. Dong sighed and said, just don't get to the point.

"No, it's pity that she married Brother Xun, Brother Xun himself said that he is so beautiful, Sister Laneige has a lack of appearance, and Brother Xun is because of repaying his kindness. before marrying her. He Tan recalled the feeling of seeing him for the first time at that time, and his first reaction was impossible.

I don't believe that Zhuang Xun will marry such a woman with a lack of appearance, how can Zhuang Xun, a person who likes mature and beautiful women, marry a wife who is not beautiful.

Hearing that Zhuang Xun was to repay her kindness, she suddenly realized, and then had pitiful feelings for Si Qinmi, after all, she could not be liked by Zhuang Xun, just like herself, Zhuang Xun himself said it very clearly.

"If you don't have beauty, how can you attract Brother Qian, account for the emotion of repaying your kindness, Brother Qin will definitely find a concubine, I think so." An inference that conforms to a logical chain.

"And then?" Dong became interested, but began to pack his luggage again.

He Tan helped her and slowly said: "Sister Laneige is really good, very good, she teaches her daughter needle show, teaches her daughter to read, has her own opinions on many issues, and even teaches her daughter manners, how to walk and look good." ”

Even if he was held in his arms yesterday, severely humiliated, and completely failed, He Tan did not change his evaluation of Si Qinmi.

"My daughter also sees her as a caring sister." He Tan said with a little worship.

"But Sister Laneige is good at everything, but she is too affectionate to Brother Qian, maybe her appearance is lacking, the first time she meets someone who can tolerate her, she likes Brother Qin between the lines, and misses Brother Qian."

Speaking of this, He Tan smiled bitterly, this is the beginning of her road to being a harlequin, because with her previous cognition, she felt that Wei Lanzhi was simply confused by Zhuang Xun's responsible care.

No matter how good you are, can someone who is beautiful and excellent be attractive? And compared to Zhuang Xun, who can support his family, Zhuang Xun, who is about to become the right envoy of Hebei Province, Siqin Mi, who has a loss in appearance, is in a weak position, and she sympathizes with Si Qin Mi, a weak person.

"So my daughter reminded her that Brother Qian is actually a womanizer, so let her not take it too seriously, otherwise Brother Qin may take a concubine in the future, making it easier for her to accept it later." Just a reminder to make her accept.

Let Si Qin Mi leave Zhuang Xun, she doesn't have such a big heart, Si Qin Mi is such an obviously disfigured woman, Zhuang Xun is willing to marry her is her best destination.

She just wants to remind Si Qinmi, Zhuang Xun is a person who likes beauty, you have to be prepared for him to have a concubine in the future, you like him so much, be mentally prepared so that you won't be sad.

But this kind of reminder is useless at all, a punch on the cotton, Si Qinmi didn't care at all, she still missed Zhuang Xun every day, and said good things about Zhuang Xun.

"And then." Dong was a little curious about Si Qinmi's reaction.

"It doesn't work, Sister Lanzhi seems to be enchanted, does she really believe that Brother Qian will love her with all his heart? With her looks? Speaking of which, He Tan sighed again that he was a harlequin, and judging from yesterday's situation, Zhuang Xun, who said that he liked mature and beautiful women, did like Si Qinmi, a woman with a lack of appearance.

"Is it true that only talented and beautiful people are worthy of love, and others are not worthy? Can't you have a beautiful wife if you have a mediocre appearance? Dong asked He Tan rhetorically, others are not worthy of love?

The beautiful can only be with the beautiful, and the ugly can only be with the ugly? Since they are all gate valve marriages, the woman is with him because the man is rich and beautiful, so it can also be called love?

"But my brother said that he only likes mature and beautiful women." He Tan felt a great impact when he heard this sentence, Zhuang Xun's maverick was here, and it seemed so special among the crowd.

"People will change, just like when I was young, I liked your father very much, and now Zhuang Yushi is more in line with my heart, it is normal for Zhuang Yushi to change his preferences, you can continue." Dong never hides her good impression of Zhuang Xun, she wants to be Zhuang Xun's mother-in-law and mother-in-law, and she wants to be his mother.

"But it can't change so much, I went out with Sister Laneige, got to know Silk Weaving, and heard this rumor that my brother was sleeping in the boudoir at night, and my daughter thought that her prediction was right." Speaking of this, thinking of how anxious he was at the time, and how breezy Siqin Mi was, He Tan felt ashamed of wanting to get into the cracks in the ground.

"My daughter is anxious about Sister Lanzhi, if you think about General Li's daughter, this kind of scandal has been spread with people, and the result should be that Sister Lanzhi was demoted to a concubine by her brother or divorced." That's what she came to to the conclusion, so she tried her best to persuade her, because Si Qin Mi really only has the name of a wife compared to the current Zhuang Xun, and she can't be more vulnerable, who will she not help Si Qin Mi to.

She even thought about it, and in the end, Zhuang Xun became a scumbag, how to help Siqin Mi get out of the shadows, but, but ......

"It's true, the second lady of the Li family is willing to be a flat wife and preserve the reputation of Zhuang Yushi, who can think of this, and it is also Yushi's personal demeanor that has been recognized by Miss Li's second lady." With the arrival of Li Ru and Zhuang Xun in Jidu, the theory of Li Ru Ji's equal wife before Jidu began to prevail.

The story is probably that Zhuang Xun accidentally delayed Li Ruxi's reputation, and was unwilling to divorce his wife and was ready to apologize to Li Ruxi for her death, but Li Ruxi stopped him, and then promised to be her equal wife.

"There is a vague talk of equal wives in the back, but my daughter still doesn't believe it, after all, he said it himself when he asks his brother, and he is a person who likes beauty." Then he lost to the ground, was executed by Si Qin Mi in his arms, and listened to Zhuang Xun who had no choice but to accept Li Ru Xi, and listened to how much he loved Si Qin Mi.

"The result is not as good as it should be." Looking at He Tan's expression, Dong knew what was going on.

"How can he like Sister Laneige, ask my brother how he can like Sister Laneige, didn't he say it himself, he is so beautiful, how can he fall in love with Sister Laneige." was fed a lot of dog food, stuffed and couldn't eat, and He Tan, who had always had a collapse of faith, couldn't accept it.

was hit unconscious, seeing the two shaking hands and talking, Zhuang asked Si Qinmi's affection, Siqin Mi responded with a light smile, wasn't the so-called advice before all self-inflicted?

Zhuang Xun's reaction was within Si Qinmi's expectation from beginning to end, and his so-called understanding of Zhuang Xun was just a frog's opinion, which made people laugh.

Although she is not wrong, after all, one of the reasons why Zhuang Xun fell in love with her boss Qin Mi was that she was good-looking and looked like a concubine.

It's a pity that she can only see the appearance, and now she is in this situation of doubting life.

"Tan'er, many things are not exactly what you think, not black and white, and there are not so many whys." After packing the baggage, she took He Tan's hand and sat down, holding her waist, and her bulging belly was even more obvious.

"I told you before, people are complex, maybe today is good thoughts, tomorrow is evil thoughts, today I think appearance is important, tomorrow I think character is important, it is possible, people who have experienced the most dangerous death."

Teaching He Tan, seeing that she was in thought, Dong stroked her stomach and said.

"Tan'er, love is too, when I was young, I was the same as you, innocent, not even as sensible as you, I can share the burden of the family, I liked your father the most at that time, he was a famous ranger at that time, yes, it is the kind of young man in the small talk book, we are also in love, he even traveled thousands of miles to Wusheng Mountain to pick flowers for me." Speaking of this, Dong showed a nostalgic smile.

"But now, I like Zhuang Yushi, who is honest and can take care of the family, your father has restrained a little, before, tsk, I want to take the person I like...... Forget it, don't clean it up, think about it. Dong Shi saw that a look of disgust appeared on He Tan's face again, and he didn't say anything more.

As the protagonist of the discussion, Zhuang Xun was being frantically tortured by Si Qinmi at the moment, verbally.

"If the other party talks about money and grain, and says that it is transported to Hebei Province through the big river, and the loss needs to be made up, how can you answer!"

"The other party said that General Li worked hard and led the army to defeat Youguo, and the credit of Chengguo was greater, and Yu Guo owed Chengguo, how do you answer."

……

Zhuang Xun's scalp was numb when asked, and the standard answer really gave him the experience of memorizing texts in high school.

"You don't have to memorize word by word, you just need that when they ask, you can say it with your own meaning, and you can't deviate too far." Siqin Mi didn't have much time to see, so she didn't ask Zhuang Xun to completely memorize it according to the standard answer.

"Remember, countries only talk about interests, don't talk about friendship, what to help Yu Guo, in fact, the core is not to let the Youguo become bigger......"

Not only asked, but also said, the words of the beauty teacher should be remembered more solidly.

It's hard to memorize the answers, it's refreshing to copy the answers, and when I go on the stage the next day, the questions asked by the other party have answers, and it's really cool to see the other party speechless.

This feeling of answering questions against the reference answers has the pleasure of an open-book exam.

Most of them are the division of merit, and what Chengguo advocates is generally that they went to save Yu Guo, lost soldiers, and Li Pingyuan commanded, and the credit is great, and Yu Guo should give more subsidies.

Yu country, Zhuang Xun here highlights a hob meat, you come to save Yu country, isn't it helpful for you to become a country, to say sacrifice and merit, how many people of Yu country have been sacrificed by giving up Chengdieguan, and when attacking, it is also the sergeants of Yu country who fight in the front.

You said that this battle could not be won without the command of Li Pingyuan, and I said that without the lives of the soldiers of Yu State, the army would have been defeated when the enemy was lured.

This goes back and forth several times, and it seems that there is no advantage in terms of credit.

Entering the substantive confrontation, that is the Chengguo army stationed in Jiannan Province.

Zhuang Xun wanted to say, you just take Jiannan, I will go to lead Hebei Province myself.

However, the first point put forward by the other party was that King Yu had promised to take Hebei Province in exchange for the remnants of Chengguo's attack on Youguo.

There is no way to deny this.

My father-in-law, you are killing me, Li Pingyuan's request, Zhuang Xun now wants to get Hebei Province has become impossible.

This is the moral basis for Chengguo to get Hebei Province, of course, you can also ignore this agreement, and King Yu's face will have to be smashed on the ground.

Although Zhuang Xun thinks that the inside is more important than face, but it is not his face, and he can't sell it, although King Yu already feels that face doesn't matter, if Zhuang Xun talks about it and loses his face, he doesn't care, everyone will die, and you don't care about your face.

It's a pity that Zhuang Xun doesn't know, and Si Qinmi doesn't know either, so he can only take a conservative route.

Let's talk about Jiannan Road and the withdrawal of troops.

"This is the land that our Chengguo has taken from Youguo, why does the imperial history talk about withdrawing troops." Highlight a both want and also.

Fortunately, Zhuang Xun has also been trained: "If this is the case, Hebei Province can be regarded as recaptured from Chengguo." ”

You don't want shame, I don't want it, diplomatic etiquette is so unpretentious.

Then there was another quarrel, and the Cheng army withdrew from Jiannan Province and took over Hebei Province.

Obviously, what was agreed at the beginning has to be discussed again, and the result is still the same.

Zhuang Xun was tired.
