When Chen Ao heard this, his head suddenly became bigger. If you say that the manager of a general's mansion should indeed know some ways to give gifts. Xiao Shuixian came to beg herself, and she really found the right door.

But Chen Ao knew how many catties and taels he had. Since he was a child, he didn't give gifts to teachers and didn't pat the leader's ass, and later he was slippery and sophisticated, and he only learned it after experiencing a few blows in college. However, even so, he has never given any gifts, and naturally he is not very clear about the doorway.

Coming to this era, especially when he became the leader of the martial arts alliance and became an official, others gave him a lot of gifts. However, Chen Ao knew that he was a practical person, but whenever others sent him gold, silver and jewelry, he rejoiced. If he sent any elegant calligraphy and paintings, he would be a little dismissive. But now it's a gift to the Queen Mother, how can you copy your own experience?

Seeing that Chen Ao was silent, Xiao Shuixian couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and said, "You have something to say, what should you send?"

Chen Ao hesitated and said, "This ...... Gift-giving varies from person to person, and if you do what you like, it will naturally be the best effect...... However, I don't know the Queen Mother's hobbies...... So ......"

Xiao Shuixian said impatiently: "Didn't I tell you? Godmother is interested in your Han things. Are you so entangled?"

Chen Ao thought to himself, there are more things for the Han people, how do I know what your unlucky godmother likes?

Chen Ao heard from many story interpretations that the Empress Dowager Xiao was very kind to the Han people and admired the culture of the Han people. In her court, there were many Han ministers. But the culture of the Han nationality is too broad and profound, where to start for a while?

Besides, Chen Ao's current identity is extremely sensitive. He doesn't want to show his face everywhere, and he even wants to get involved in occasions like the Queen Mother's birthday.

Xuan Ning also guessed Chen Ao's intentions, so he persuaded: "Miss Xiao, suddenly I'm afraid I can't think of any good ideas." Fortunately, there is still a month before the Queen Mother's birthday, so Miss Xiao might as well go back and wait first. We've got a great idea, and we're going to invite you again. ”

When Xiao Shuixian heard this, he had no choice but to sigh, got up and said, "Okay, since that's the case, I'll leave first." ”

She took two steps, and Chen Ao just felt relieved, and saw Xiao Shuixian turn around and say, "Zhao Heng, the sentence I said at the beginning is also counted." When you get better, come and do some work in my tent. Our Liao camp can't raise you for nothing......"

After she finished speaking, she walked away with her hands behind her back. Chen Ao and Xuan Ning looked at each other, and they really couldn't understand what this Xiao girl was thinking. But there was one thing they immediately agreed on: this place should not be stayed for long. If you stay, you may find something!

So, Xuan Ning hurried to heal Chen Ao's injuries. Her internal strength has been small, the seven-step lotus is a profound practice of Zen, the original domineering and fierce true qi, tried out by a woman, become facial and warm, for the treatment of internal injuries have a miraculous effect. In addition, there were many rare medicinal materials in the Liao army, especially the wild ginseng paid tribute by the Jurchens, which were stolen by Xuanning and treated Chen Ao's injuries.

Therefore, although Chen Ao suffered two fractures, he actually got better quickly. After half a month's effort, I can already move freely. Xuan Ning took a splint for him, and after some adjustment, Chen Ao was already able to do some light physical work.

As for Xiao Shuixian, he had to come to consult Chen Ao about the gift almost every day. Chen Ao perfunctory a few times, and then began to say something about celebrity calligraphy and painting, poetry and song to prevaricate. Xiao Shuixian is not ignorant, and he is also very familiar with Han culture. Besides, if those self-proclaimed celebrities were to paint and write poems for the empress dowager of the Liao State, it would be more difficult than taking their lives. Therefore, after some discussion, several people still gave up this plan.

Xiao Shuixian couldn't help but feel a little angry when he saw that Chen Ao didn't seem to take this matter to heart. But her relationship with Xuanning is getting better and better, so it is not good to reprimand Chen Ao. Her eyes rolled, and she suddenly remembered the ghost idea. Seeing that Chen Ao's health was getting better, he even took the splint off. Xiao Shuixian began to call Chen Ao to himself as a "coolie".

Although he was nominally a coolie, Xiao Shuixian didn't have much strength to give him work, just to find an excuse to add to him. There was a book of poetry on the bookcase of Xiao Shuixian's tent, and every time Chen Ao came, Xiao Shuixian asked him to copy the Book of Poetry. Chen Ao felt helpless, but he couldn't find a reason to refuse. After all, they didn't ask you to do any heavy work, so you took care of it.

On this day, Chen Ao was being punished by Xiao Shuixian again, and Xiao Ting suddenly strode into the tent. When Xiao Ting saw Chen Ao, his thick eyebrows twisted, and he said in a stiff tone, "What are you doing here?"

Xiao Shuixian said: "I have something to do with him, Dad, you don't care!"

Xiao Ting said in a deep voice: "Narcissus, how can you be so nonsense? You are an unmarried girl, and you are alone with a big man, what kind of system do you have? Although we Liao people are not as particular as the Han people. But as the lord of the county, your every move is watched. This person is just a slave of the Han people, if someone else gossips, where do you put your father's face?"

Xiao Shuixian didn't care, but his father's words were not wrong. Especially since she is still the goddaughter of Empress Dowager Xiao, she always has to take care of some decency. But Xiao Shuixian seemed to be addicted to torturing Chen Ao, and he didn't want to lose such an opportunity to play tricks on people for a while.

She rolled her eyes and said with a smile: "Father, don't worry, I will never have any rumors with this person." Father, you don't know, he is a slave of the Han family. Aren't there many men in the palace of the Han emperor who have been gelding......?

Xiao Shuixian's last few words were said in a low voice, but they were still heard by Chen Ao. Chen Ao was angry in his heart, and secretly thought, how could this stinky girl castrate Lao Tzu in a few words? When Lao Tzu is a eunuch? Lao Tzu has a strong capital, will he be a eunuch?

However, Xiao Ting believed it and said in surprise: "You mean...... He's a eunuch?"

Xiao Shuixian nodded and said with a smile: "Of course, I found someone to test it." Otherwise, how could I have been so close to a Han Chinese? My daughter just wants to see how the Han officials are so popular. ”

Xiao Ting nodded, as if he heard that Chen Ao was a eunuch and would not have any impact on his daughter's reputation, so he relieved himself. He waved his hand and said, "In that case, I won't ask more." By the way, there will be a distinguished guest for my father later. Narcissus, you will come out to meet your father when the time comes. ”

He thought about it, and suddenly said to Chen Ao: "You will also come with you when the time comes." That distinguished guest was a Song person, and those big men in our army couldn't entertain him. You can serve tea and pour water, serve vegetables and pour wine!"
