Empress Mi Benji

Chapter 25 First Meeting

"My lady, why aren't you angry? The story just now portrayed you like that." Walking out of the teahouse, Zhuang Xun still had the urge to go up to the storyteller to argue.

"Why are you angry? What they are smearing is a dead man. The man in the story, you are always gentle, gentle, benevolent, and have the modest demeanor of a gentleman. As long as you have a good reputation." Si Qinmi said with a smile.

"Have a good reputation for being an adulterer?" Zhuang Xun's blood pressure rose throughout the whole process. In the first half of the story, apart from his name, it has nothing to do with him being a dime.

"It's really good. In the early stage, the emphasis was on the concubine teasing you, and you slowly accepted the story. After falling in love, the husband did not stop the punishment. He created the image of a loyal gentleman, patriotism, and a loving gentleman. He always loves the wife of the government. Don't go beyond, but the image of the concubine is a girl who is out of the wall, shamelessly seducing you, and also said that the relationship between the concubine and Duke Zhenguo is not good, all this shows that this story was ordered by Duke Zhenguo." Si Qinmi chuckled lightly. explain.

"That's not too bad. They want to tarnish my reputation." Zhuang Xun was instinctively hostile to Duke Zhenguo's mansion. He was almost beaten up, and Si Qin Mi was cut off from his seat. Now he is doing this kind of thing again.

"It's really bad, if they succeed in what they want." Si Qin Mi held Zhuang Xun's hand with a relaxed expression.

"What do you mean?" Zhuang Xun couldn't understand what they meant to be successful.

"The problem is that what they want to do can't be completely successful. If the story can discredit you, they will definitely not give up, but they didn't do it. What does it mean? Some people are paying attention and protecting you, so even if these editors The writers of the book should also take into account the reputation of the husband, and become more and more praiseworthy, which can only portray the image of the concubine as a lonely and cheating girl."

Si Qin Mi hugged Zhuang Xun's arm tightly, her expression became relieved, Zhuang Xun's arm sank into softness, and she was still confused: "Who is that? Who is so kind to protect me."

"I don't know, but what I can suspect is Xia Huan, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites. The news that you were named by the emperor came from him, and there is also Yin Gongji of Yindu Prefecture. He is responsible for investigating whether your daily words and deeds can be regarded as filial piety. If Lian recommends you, if your reputation is bad, it will be dereliction of duty for them.”

There is also the person who first recommended you, whether it was the person who let the emperor know you, or the person who made Xia Huan and Gong Ji recognize your Xiaolian status.

Can't guess, with the current known situation, Si Qinmi really can't imagine, where is the first thread, who is the first to get her husband to be recommended by Xiaolian in the Yindu Prefecture, the bargaining chips are too few, so she can only wait The opponent made a move.

These thoughts were buried in her heart, her smile was light, but it made people feel like a spring breeze, and she didn't want to bring these troubles to Zhuang Xun.

"Is that so?" Zhuang Xun didn't think so much, and after hearing Si Qin Mi's explanation, he looked suddenly enlightened.

He didn't get entangled any more, and didn't dig deep into the intricate details behind it.

After returning from Fangshi, he stopped in front of the tailor shop again. Zhuang Xun had brought a lot of fruit and vegetable ingredients. Looking at the silk and satins and the gorgeous patterns, and looking at Siqin Mi beside him, Zhuang Xun stopped in front of the tailor shop.

"Lang Jun, can I buy a piece of clothing for my concubine?" Si Qinmi didn't understand what Zhuang Xun meant, and he would keep talking about it until he resolved his obsession.

Just satisfy his desire to be a good husband. After all, she is his wife, so it is right to pamper him.

With this in mind, I stepped into a tailor shop.

"This kind of pattern is very expensive. Don't look at it. Buy some plain fabrics. When the time comes, I will embroider it on. Yunjin and Hujin are similar, but Yunjin has a big name. Buy some Hujin. Treat it with your own hands. I can't see it clearly, but it can save half of the money." Unlike the lady of the government, who is careful and careful, the owner of the tailor shop will cry when he hears it, and the face of the waiter next to him is even more speechless. .

"Forget it, I don't need to choose clothes, I buy a piece of cloth and go home and make it myself." After choosing and choosing, I was not satisfied with the clothes, and finally picked a piece of silk cloth to go back.

Holding the cloth, Zhuang Xun felt a little numb. He suspected that maybe this tailor shop didn't have cocoons, otherwise Si Qin Mi would have to spin the thread herself.

"Since I have some money, I can just buy clothes directly, why bother." After leaving the tailor shop, Zhuang Xun said speechlessly.

"No matter how much money you have, if you don't care about it, it will be exhausted." Si Qinmi insisted on her opinion.

"I understand." Zhuang Xun whispered, what Si Qin Mi said was reasonable, and he couldn't refute it, but people have selfish motives, he just wanted to buy his wife a beautiful dress.

"What kind of clothes do you want to see my concubine wear?" Si Qinmi knew how to comfort people, and after Zhuang Xun stopped talking, she asked.

"What kind of clothes?" Zhuang Xun was speechless, he actually didn't understand the styles of clothes.

"It's that kind, that kind looks good." Zhuang Xun glanced at a woman who was next to a fortune-telling booth, dressed in silk clothes and wearing a bamboo hat to cover her face.

"Should I also buy a bamboo hat for you, my lady?" Zhuang Xun thought of Si Qin Mi's disfigured face when he saw the bamboo hat.

"It's not necessary." Si Qin Mi looked at the woman, as if wanting to write down the clothes.

"Come closer and take another look." Si Qin Mi moved forward, followed by Zhuang Xun.

Only when she got closer did she discover that the beauty's figure is plump and tight, with layered skirts and streamers in the dark. The whole is dignified and magnificent, graceful and luxurious, with azure blue on the top and orange red on the bottom.

Next to her were many guards and servant girls, who were the wives of some unknown family.

"It can't be done, the craftsmanship is too complicated, and it's beyond my concubine's ability." Si Qinmi commented from a safe distance.

"Then forget it, do whatever you want, as long as the woman looks good in it." Zhuang Xun praised, hugging the cloth vegetables and fruits, he really felt so.

The woman who was chatting with the fortune teller turned her head slightly, seemed to have noticed Si Qin Mi's gaze, and walked towards Zhuang Xun and the others with light lotus steps.

"Is Zhuang Xiaolian looking at my slave's house?" When Zhuang Xun and Si Qinmi were still embarrassed, the woman spoke softly, her voice was ethereal like a kite bird.

"My husband saw the bamboo hat on my wife's head, and wanted to buy a similar one to cover my ugly face, so I took a few more glances to offend my wife." Si Qinmi took the initiative to say that this kind of peeking at others is not allowed to be caught. Speaking of beauty, it is most suitable to use her disfigured face as a cover up.

"I see, Zhuang Xiaolian really loves his wife." The woman seemed to know Zhuang Xun, and she didn't intend to pursue it.

"Lang Jun's love is hard to repay in three generations." Speaking of this, Si Qin Mi was a little proud.

"Who is Madam? Xun doesn't seem to have seen Madam before." Zhuang Xun asked carefully, putting the things in his hand aside.

"My family is from Chengguo, surnamed Jiang, Zhuang Xiaolian doesn't know my family, but my family knows Zhuang Xiaolian. The demeanor of a man walking alone in the execution ground is amazing, and he has great courage." The woman praised Zhuang Xun.

"Ms. Jiang's reputation is too high, she really offended her, I hope she will forgive me." Zhuang Xun said, bowing his hands and pleading guilty.

"My family naturally understands the character of filial piety, so it's fine." The woman was tolerant and magnanimous.

"Thank you Ma'am for your forgiveness. There is an urgent matter at home, so I can't talk too much. Let me go." She cupped her hands again.

"Do you want Xiaolian to help?" He bent over to help Zhuang Xun lift up the cloth, the veil was lightly rolled as the breeze floated.

"No, no..." Zhuang Xun glanced casually, his pupils constricted.
