Empress Mi Benji

Chapter 18

"Second sister, I want the picture of the banks of the Lichun river that elder sister gave you." Li Chengzhi said goodbye to Zhuang Xun.

"How dare you say it! No!" Li Rusi resolutely refused.

"I gave Second Sister such a big blame, why don't you give me anything?" Li Chengzhi said aggrievedly.

"I know you are wronged, but who dropped the purse today? Dad knows you and explained to him." Li Rusi stepped forward.

"Second sister, you must save me!" Li Chengzhi's face changed, and he thought of his father's majestic appearance.

"Don't want the map of the river bank of the beginning of spring?" Li Rusi said with a chuckle.

"Second Sister, if you can give me a map of the banks of the Lichun River, it will be a severe beating. I will endure it." Li Chengzhi struggled.

"You have a good idea." Li Rusi covered her mouth and smiled.

"Second sister, help me. It seems that I resolved the embarrassment for you just now." Li Chengzhi said flatteringly.

"I think you are holding me up to roast on the fire, you can talk so vigorously." Li Rusi said angrily.

"How dare, I really admire his integrity and want to make friends with him. I think about whether I have the courage to do this kind of thing in the face of this situation. He was just a commoner before, and he dared to risk it because of others' recommendations. At the risk of being angered, helping people collect corpses and dissipate family wealth, it's really good to make friends." Li Chengzhi showed a yearning look.

"It's really worth making friends with. You are neither humble nor overbearing. You are humble and graceful. You have opened your mind." Li Rusi expressed her evaluation.

"Even though Second Sister fell, there's no need to boast like that," Li Chengzhi said angrily.

It’s okay to praise others, but it’s also okay to scold yourself, how can the two be stacked together.

"It seems that I still have no brains." Li Rusi said mercilessly, with hatred mixed with iron.

"The second sister just chatted a few words. How can you tell that the other party is neither humble nor overbearing, humble and graceful. I think he is a frail scholar who is pushed down by the second sister." Li Chengzhi said unconvinced.

"You can tell whether you are neither humble nor overbearing when you see our clothes. He accepted our apology frankly and didn't take it for granted. This is neither humble nor overbearing." Li Rusi explained.

"That's right. He was a straight man. He even dared to bury the daughter of the criminal minister. Even the husband's family of the criminal minister's daughter didn't dare. He even cut off the mat. I also admit that he is modest. He is indeed conservative when he speaks, but you say he has manners. He is a scholar, he will fall if he stumbles, where is his appearance." Li Chengzhi said unconvinced.

"If you can get rid of your frizzy personality, you can also become handsome. The appearance comes from the shape, grows from the spirit, and becomes from the heart. This Zhuang Xiaolian has a benevolent face and a gentle manner, and his speech and behavior are free and elegant." Set the rules, show neither humble nor overbearing mentality, and appear humble and approachable, no wonder you can take the act of collecting the body for your benefactor." Li Rusi praised.

"I don't see it, it's fine if we can make friends anyway." Li Chengzhi couldn't tell, he couldn't tell what kind of shape, how angry, he couldn't tell, anyway, he thought Zhuang Xun was just ordinary.

"How can you make friends with others like this! I'm sorry, it will really lose face to the Li family." Li Rusi's gentle face became serious.

"Does he have so many rules for a poor family? Our family..." Li Chengzhi wanted to refute and swallowed when he saw his sister's expression.

"It's because he is from a poor family, so you can't be ashamed, because you are the face of the Li family." Li Rusi said, covering her face.

"I don't think Zhuang Xiaolian is this kind of person, and it's so troublesome that I just don't make friends." Li Chengzhi said quite confidently.

"You really, forget it, he is from the Yu country, and we are from the Cheng country, so we don't have much contact with each other." Li Rusi said helplessly seeing her brother's lazy appearance.

"The point is that we have lost the money now. What will Dad say when he asks me later?" Li Chengzhi was more worried about this.

"Isn't it all right to say that the people in Yindu are pitiful and give alms?" Li Rusi was tired and didn't want to go around in circles with her younger brother.

"It's that simple?" Li Chengzhi said dumbfounded.

"Otherwise, did you say you spent it? Where did you spend it, what did you buy, and it was indeed given to the people of Yindu." Li Rusi asked back.

"..." Li Chengzhi couldn't find an excuse to refute.

"Then what about the task that father gave us, to go to the temple to pray for him." Li Chengzhi choked out a sentence.

"Go back and get the money, otherwise you have private money to worship these gods and Buddhas!"

"Yes..." Li Chengzhi said honestly.

"Your monthly money is strictly controlled, and you often reward the maids in your room. Where did you get the money from your own house?" Li Rusi said in surprise.

"The eldest sister gave it to me, saying that I am old and it's time to spend the money." Li Chengzhi said frankly.

"Then you are still thinking about my map of the Lichun Riverbank all day, I think you are begging for beating!" Li Rusi glanced at Li Chengzhi, Li Chengzhi responded with a naive smile, and became more begging for beating.

"Go home first, save your private money, it's wasted on this." Li Rusi rejected Li Chengzhi's idea of ​​making up for the shortfall with private money.

"Second sister, don't you just want to see me get beaten by my father?" Li Chengzhi shrank his head and said maliciously.

"What did you say?" Willow eyebrows were erected, and Li Rusi's almond eyes were wide open.

"I didn't say anything, Second Sister, is it really all right?" Li Chengzhi said with a smile.

"A small amount of money. Parents and their parents are usually very strict in discipline, and they give you so little monthly money. You are so worried. Do you think you have lost some big money? You can go to practice martial arts when you get back soon, and I will explain to Dad." Li Rusi touched Touching his forehead, he felt that his younger brother was really a rotten piece of wood.

Speaking of returning to the Chengguo mansion, Li Chengzhi faltered and hid in the backyard to practice martial arts, while Li Rusi went to greet her father.

"Have fun? Why did you come back so early?" Li Pingyuan sat in the study, holding the military book in his hand, and saw his daughter come in with a kind smile.

"Unhappy, there are too many refugees, the money was stolen, and I didn't make it to go to the temple to pray for blessings." Li Rusi said directly.

"Don't bring a carriage with you when you go out. It's fine if you can't go to the temple. Anyway, the doctor can confirm that I'm sick, and it will raise doubts for Youguo." Li Pingyuan didn't pursue the matter of the money loss.

"What did King Yu say, hasn't he agreed to send troops yet?" Li Rusi asked proactively.

"No, the shadow of Siqin Shengjing's betrayal is too great for him. I'm afraid that the generals who sent troops will rebel again. He feels that he can rest easy if he sticks to it." Li Pingyuan said helplessly.

"What he said is correct, but the premise is that it can be defended. This Yindu is panicked and has no fighting spirit at all. Why does he not want to surrender the city at the same time? Why is he so stupid? We Chengguo have no time to spend He is feeding the army and waiting for him." Li Rusi said sarcastically.

"He's just stupid. Otherwise, Siqin Shengjing can completely control the army without any restraint?" Li Pingyuan also said contemptuously.

"But Yu State cannot perish at this time. If he perishes, our Cheng State will have to face the tiger and wolf of You State alone. At least, at least until I have trained Cheng State's usable soldiers." Li Pingyuan said helplessly. , He squeezed the space between his eyebrows, feeling that there was no solution to this situation.

"Then it's better to carve up Yu Kingdom with You Kingdom!" Li Rusi said, her almond eyes showing a fierce light.

"If you can't eat it, Cheng Guo himself still has a lot of problems to be solved, and he can't eat half of the Yu country. This time, he can take this opportunity to annex Dai County, and today he likes Huang Lao and doesn't like fighting. He thinks it will hurt the peace of heaven. " Li Pingyuan smiled wryly.

"These emperors are like this. It is obvious that they are all emperors and still cultivate immortality. They are about to perish and pay the longevity banquet. They don't know how to govern the country. Sooner or later..." Li Rusi said that he couldn't bear it.

"It would be great if you were a man, then dad can plan more for you, Cheng Zhi, alas..." Li Pingyuan sighed, and Li Rusi's expression also turned dark.

　Thank you for your support. The more monthly tickets, the better, but everyone should do what they can, and don’t affect your life. Reading is just entertainment, and you have to take care of your life. grateful.
