Empress Mi Benji

Chapter 84 Entering the boudoir

Li Pingyuan's words broke the happy atmosphere of Zhuang Xun and the others, and suddenly made the atmosphere dead.

"Pingyuan, things have come to this, you can't stop that girl Ru Si from marrying Yu Shi." Now that the old man is sure that Zhuang Xun understood what he hinted at, the other party also considers the Li family as his wife's family It means that he is going to talk to his own people.

In fact, Zhuang Xun didn't understand, but Li Chengzhi revealed that he already knew the purpose of the old people's visit, and he knew what they meant even if he didn't understand what the old people meant when they mentioned Mrs. Jiang.

"What are you here for today?" Li Pingyuan asked Zhuang Xun's purpose for coming today, knowingly asking, so as to facilitate follow-up attacks.

"Come and ask to marry Ru Si as a flat wife. I hope Uncle Li will do it." Zhuang Xun stood up from his kneeling seat, walked out of the seat, faced Li Pingyuan head-on, knelt down and cupped his hands to beg.

"My daughter, don't be a concubine for others!" Li Pingyuan slapped the table and said firmly, with anger flourishing in his words.

"It's not a concubine, it's a wife." Zhuang Xun would not be intimidated, even if this person was Li Pingyuan who directed the Xishui victory.

"What's the difference between this and a concubine?" Li Pingyuan's eyes were like eagles, scanning Zhuang Xun. Zhuang Xun had the illusion that he was being watched by a tiger. If he couldn't say a word, the tiger would get up and bite him.

"Nature is equal to my wife, and my child is my son-in-law, but when facing my wife, I have to call my elder sister, and my wife is the first." This is the bottom line condition that Zhuang Xun and Si Qinmi discussed, dragged repeatedly, and finally reached.

Si Qin Mi generously said that even if they are exactly the same, Zhuang Xun disagreed, and finally Si Qin Mi gave in to him with a smile.

Li Pingyuan spoke angrily, but Zhuang Xun answered seriously, but Li Pingyuan suddenly didn't know how to answer.

He felt the sincerity of Zhuang Xun's attitude, and his words were powerful and convincing. Some people's words are so convincing, let alone Zhuang Xun who has been taught by Si Qin Mi every day, these words come from the heart, and Li Pingyuan can't even find fault with him. Don't know where to start.

Probably there was nothing to say, because Zhuang Xun's bottom line was put here, so Li Pingyuan could only say dryly, "Is it so difficult to marry Ru Si as a regular wife?"

"Uncle Li, marriage is a major event in life. If a wife is virtuous but not virtuous, what is the reason to divorce her? Today, unreasonable divorce and clinging to the power of Li's family, will you give up Rusi tomorrow to cling to stronger power?" With Li Chengzhi as the backing, Zhuang Xun's tone appeared firm and unaffected by others.

This choked Li Pingyuan. He wanted to get angry, but he didn't know where the anger came from.

Seeing the future husband-in-law's embarrassment, a clan elder stepped forward to smooth things over.

"The censor is a gentleman who is well-known in Jizhou. When a gentleman acts, he is naturally a little stubborn. Pingyuan, you have to understand, don't ruin the reputation of a gentleman."

With the support of the clan elders, the tense atmosphere was eased.

"A gentleman spending the night in the boudoir where he is going to marry?" Li Pingyuan finally found the steps and snorted coldly. He looked aggressive, but he was actually out of breath.

He wanted to be very angry about this matter, and in the end he had no choice but to agree. He didn't really want to ruin the marriage his daughter found, but just married his daughter so happily. How do others think of him? Look at Li's house.

"This is Xun's fault. Xun should apologize to Uncle Li and make up for it." Zhuang Xun bravely admitted his mistake and said that there was nothing to shirk. It was his own fault for not noticing the defense between men and women.

"Make it up? How to make it up? Now that my daughter's reputation is ruined, how can you make up for it!" Li Pingyuan raised his voice and stood up with his support on the table.

"Father, calm down. It has already happened. In order to protect the second sister's reputation, you should agree to it." Li Chengzhi hurried out and stopped Li Pingyuan, who was pretending to be angry.

"You guys, alas..." Even ten Li Chengzhis were not enough for Li Pingyuan to fight, but Li Chengzhi still stopped Li Pingyuan.

"Uncle Li, I will definitely treat Ru Si well. Please help us." Seeing the situation, Zhuang Xun quickly took advantage of Li Pingyuan's relaxed attitude and said.

You play yours, and I play mine, as long as everyone enjoys watching it.

"How can I be perfect? ​​You want me to marry the daughter of my Li family to you as an ordinary wife? You still have the nerve to be called a gentleman and do such lowly things!" Breaking free from Li Chengzhi, he got angry for the last time, three times and three times Advice will be there.

Now just waiting for someone to persuade him, Li Pingyuan has done his tricks well, so that it won't appear that the Li family is in a hurry to marry their daughter, but he walked very slowly, and still no one stepped forward.

Looking at Zhuang Xun who was kneeling on the ground, Li Pingyuan felt a little embarrassed. He had found out what happened. It was his daughter who took the initiative to set him up, and Zhuang Xun was the prey in the quilt.

Looking at Zhuang Xun's demeanor today, it's not a bad match for his own daughter. After all, he knows the inherent flaws of his own daughter. If you really want to match a prince, you can match it in terms of identity. Personally, it's not necessarily so. , even he himself was influenced by Cheng Guo's ethos. Only when a woman feels weak can he like and pity her.

So, why was no one stopping him? He glanced at Li Chengzhi from the corner of his eye, and Li Chengzhi stood where he was, with no intention of pulling him forward. As for the group of old men, he didn't have to think about it at all.

Walking in front of Zhuang Xun, Li Pingyuan was thinking about what to say to make Zhuang Xun stab him back, and then he passed out.

The rescuer showed up, just not the one he wanted.

"Daddy!" Standing in front of Li Pingyuan was Li Rusi. Today she was wearing a light yellow skirt, as light as a flying butterfly.

"You're not staying in the room, what are you doing here?" Li Pingyuan heaved a sigh of relief, even though Li Rusi came out badly.

"Daddy, do you want to hit Zhuang Lang?" Li Rusi helped Zhuang Xun up. The height difference between the two made Li Pingyuan frown for the first time.

I didn't pay much attention to this issue just now, Zhuang Xun stood with the tall and slender Li Rusi, the sense of disharmony can be seen at a glance, how can there be such a strong woman and a weak man.

"Isn't he worthy of a beating? You came to ask for a marriage and asked you to be an ordinary wife!" There was some anger. My beloved daughter wanted to be an ordinary wife. Isn't an ordinary wife a better name for a concubine.

"My daughter is willing. My daughter found Mr. Ruyi because she wanted to be his concubine." Li Rusi said stubbornly.

"What are you talking about? You are the daughter of my Li family." What Li Pingyuan was worried about happened. This is why he didn't want to see Li Rusi.

In some respects, this daughter's stubbornness can be said to have been inherited from his old friend, his best friend when he was traveling the rivers and lakes. Li Pingyuan felt that there was going to be a big fuss today.

Sure enough, Li Rusi's face darkened, and she said resolutely: "So even if it is embarrassing, even if it is a concubine, the daughter must marry Zhuang Lang as a concubine. Even if it is a daughter of the Li family, no one wants to marry a daughter. "

"How can there be no one to marry? Dad has made such a great contribution, and there are so many people who want to cling to him. Are you still worried about getting married?" Li Pingyuan said with heartache.

"But it's rare to have a lover. My daughter likes Zhuang Lang. Even if my daughter sets up a trick to tarnish her reputation, she still wants to be with Zhuang Lang. Please help me." Just as he stood up, Zhuang Xun was dragged down to his knees by Li Rusi .

"You, you, I don't agree..." Li Pingyuan looked at the daughter who blew herself up, you can say this, set up a trick to tarnish her reputation, and rush to become a concubine for others.

"If Daddy wants to stop her, my daughter will be killed on this wall pillar." Li Rusi made a gesture and bumped her head against the pillar. Before Li Pingyuan could react, Zhuang Xun subconsciously hugged her.

"What are you crazy about!" Zhuang Xun was a little frightened by Li Rusi's actions, and hugged her tightly. This was the first time he hugged Li Rusi. She looked slender on the outside, but was soft and fleshy on the inside.

Then looking up at Li Pingyuan's weird gaze, Zhuang Xun suddenly realized that he seemed to have overreacted. Li Rusi should just be acting, why did he take it seriously.

"Pingyuan, it's all like this, don't be a villain." The leading clan elder watched the farce, stood up, and tapped the ground with his cane.

"Get up quickly, everyone is watching, how decent it is!" The leader of the clan elder motioned to a few old people behind, who stopped Li Pingyuan.

Zhuang Xun let go of Li Rusi, and Li Rusi's delicate dimple was as red as a peach, ready to squeeze out the juice.

"Unworthy girl, unworthy girl..." Li Pingyuan's expression changed quickly, and he immediately became annoyed, but he didn't know how much he was really annoyed.

"Okay, don't talk about it, now we have no reason, Pingyuan, you take a step back, this matter is over, you go down first, don't be angry with your father." Several people mediate, and Xi Ni, let Li Ru Si go down.

"Ru Si understands." Li Rusi grabbed Zhuang Xun's hand and pulled him out of the lobby.

"Si'er, isn't it good that you are doing this?" Zhuang Xun was pulled by Li Rusi, like a sister pulling a younger brother.

"Huh? Si'er knows, on purpose." Li Rusi held Zhuang Xun's hand, with a smile on her face.

"Why?" Zhuang Xun couldn't understand.

"Come to Si'er's boudoir, and Si'er will tell you slowly." Li Rusi looked around and felt that it was not the place to talk.

"The boudoir?" Zhuang Xun couldn't help shaking, feeling guilty.

"Don't worry, I won't set you up this time." Seeing Zhuang Xun's frightened look, Li Rusi smiled lightly.

"No, it's not good for me to enter your boudoir alone." Zhuang Xun was a little scared.

"You are about to become Si'er's husband. Why are you shy? If you don't watch this time, you won't be able to see it when you go to our house." Li Rusi took Zhuang Xun's hand and pulled him to her room.

Walking through the rockery, gardens and pavilions, Li Rusi's room was not much different from Zhuang Xunxiang's. After all, he had slept in Yu country, and the style was similar.

There are some scholarly fragrances, some calligraphy and paintings hung, some books, and some silk and needlework. At a glance, it is not as exquisite as Siqin Mixiu. It is a normal room, but there are two more pretty maids.

"Yunyin, Zhihua, come and meet your future master." Li Rusi greeted the two servant girls.

"Miss, this..." Both of them showed hesitant expressions at the same time.

"Master." But the responses were not slow, and they all spoke in unison.

"Don't call it that..." Zhuang Xun hurriedly shook his head.

"That's it. You guys are going to marry me with me. It's good to get used to it in advance." Li Rusi saw Zhuang Xun again, and took Zhuang Xun home, feeling happy.

"This is a map of the banks of the Lichun River, it's everyone..."

"This is Jing Kingdom's gold inlaid jade..."

"The teardrops of the East China Sea are said to be the tears of sharks..."

Listening to her introduction, Zhuang Xun became more and more depressed.

"What's the matter, Zhuang Lang, you two go out, I have a word with Zhuang Lang." Seeing that Zhuang Xun's expression was not right, Li Rusi dismissed the two maidservants.

"Well, I may not have that much money." Zhuang Xun said with a little embarrassment, the future wife showed off how arrogant her family was.

"You know that the place I want to manage will cost a lot of money. I know that at this point, it is inevitable that you will marry me. I may not be able to buy any of these things for you. I'm sorry." Zhuang Xun was ashamed To be honest, it is unexpected that these objects in a seemingly simple room are so unusual and worth a thousand dollars.

He is not a miser, and he dare not buy things for his wife, but it is better to put gold and silver in the territory for development, because he knows where the money should be spent.

The place he manages is prosperous and prosperous, and Zhuang Xun doesn't mind enjoying life, but the place he can manage is obviously very poor. He really has no mood to spend money on pleasure, and feels guilty.

"Zhuang Lang...that's really interesting. You think Si'er is showing you how luxurious Si'er's house is, so that you can buy these things for Si'er?" Li Rusi grabbed Zhuang Xun's wrist.

"Si'er, you may not mean that. You just want to share your treasures with me. I think too much." Zhuang Xun took the initiative to admit his mistake and said that he thought too much and was too sensitive.

"That's true. I want Zhuang Lang to see the treasures that Si'er has preserved. They are rewarded by the emperor, my sister, my father, and others." Li Rusi agreed with Zhuang Xun's words, and Zhuang Xun's The superficial shame also became more and more serious.

"These are all in the past tense, because Si'er is going to marry into Zhuang Lang's family, so these can be sold for money, to support Zhuang Lang and you to develop Jiannan." Li Rusi changed the subject and said her plan.

"Ah? There's no need... There's no need for this!" Zhuang Xun realized that he couldn't break free from Li Rusi's wrist, just like she couldn't break free from her own hand before.

"My sister used to make clothes for Zhuang Lang for half a month in order to make you look good, and she wore rags to save money. Now Ru Si sells these to support Lang Jun's development of Jiannan, why not?" Li Ru Si took Si Qin Mi gave an example.

"No, it wasn't brought by her family..."

"Similarly, since you want to marry Zhuang Lang, there is no difference between your family and my family. These things belong to our family. Let you take stock of them. Could it be that Lang Jun still can't accept Ru Si?" Li Ru Ru Si interrupted Zhuang Xun's words, questioning.

"Of course not, Si'er is already regarded as a family." This kind of atmosphere is too hurtful to say that it is not a family.

"That's good. I know why Si'er was behaving violently in the lobby today, and even blew himself up, no longer caring about his own reputation." Li Rusi brought back the question Zhuang asked when he brought Zhuang Xun to the boudoir.

"I don't know." Zhuang Xun was puzzled.

"There are two reasons. First, Si'er has no so-called reputation, but Si'er wants to keep Daddy's reputation. As long as my reputation is damaged, Daddy's and Langjun's reputation will not be damaged. After all, Si'er is the one who uses tricks. , Daddy and Lord Lang should not have any enmity, this is what Si'er thought of a long time ago, and I used it today." Li Rusi looked at Zhuang Xun, his eyes were filled with colorful clouds.

The way Zhuang Xun put the responsibility on her shoulders was the same as when it was broken. How could she have the heart to let Zhuang take over this reputation, let alone that she didn't intend to let Li Pingyuan be considered such a suffocated person? image.

"Secondly, Si'er has been watching outside for a long time. Uncle Gong actually tried to use Si'er's marriage to harm our family's interests. How can this be allowed! You don't want to pay a price and want to be an official?" Li Rusi grabbed Holding the back of Zhuang Xun's hand, he said with a sneer.
