Chapter eight hundred and eighty seventh Wan Niang
Li Xiu was chatting with Su Dingfang and Pei Xingjian in the front hall, but suddenly heard a "bang" sound from outside. Then two women complained to each other: "It's all your fault! It's all your fault..."
"Who is outside?" Li Xiu couldn't help but look down when he heard the noise outside. After all, he was hospitalizing guests here, but it was so noisy outside, which was really impolite to the guests.
Hearing Li Xiu's question, the two women outside immediately calmed down, but Li Xiu had already heard who one of them was. He couldn't help but angrily: "Qian Niang, come in for me!"
As Li Xiu said, the two people who were about to sneak away outside stopped, then looked at each other, but wanted to escape but had no courage, so they had to lower their heads and move in. However, what Li Xiu didn't expect was that the other woman was actually her?
"Wan Niang, why are you just following Qi Niang and the others? " Seeing the girl hiding behind Qi Niang tightly, Li Xiu couldn't help but frown and said.
At that time, Li Jiancheng's five daughters were all staying at Li Xiu's house. The eldest was a genius, and the second was Wan Niang. Wan Niang was as famous as her name, a very gentle girl. She liked to read and practice calligraphy the most, which was very similar to Princess Pingyang. Therefore, their aunts and nephews had the best relationship. They never messed with Qi Niang and the others. They can be said to be the most worry-free child in Li Xiu's family.
"I...I..." Wanniang is a quiet and timid girl, and there are guests in the hall, especially Pei Xingjian, who is not only about the same age as her, but also has a heroic appearance, which makes her feel even more shy and doesn't know how to answer for a while.
"Brother, it's not that Wanniang is blamed for this. I saw that she was staying in the house every day to read and write, so I pulled her out for a walk. I heard that there were guests here, so I was very curious, so I took her to come and take it seriously!" Qi Niang was very loyal and immediately stood up and took the responsibility on herself.
"No... I don't blame Qi Niang. I'm also curious about the guests at home, so I came with Qi Niang, but I didn't expect to disturb my uncle and ask my uncle to punish me!" Although Wan Niang was timid, she was also a kind and kind woman, and she took the initiative to take responsibility.
"Okay, I understand your temperament. It must be Qi Niang who encouraged you to come again. But since you are here, I will introduce you to you. This is General Su Dingfang Su who was the tent of King Ma Tajieli. This is General Su's student and also a military account room. Although he is young, he has made considerable contributions to the country!" Although Li Xiu was a little angry, he had a guest here today, so he was not easy to show it.
Hearing Li Xiu's introduction, Qi Niang and Wan Niang also stepped forward to salute Su Dingfang and Pei Xingjian. Li Xiu also introduced Qi Niang and Wan Niang to Su Dingfang. Qi Niang was very interested in Su Dingfang and couldn't help asking: "General Su, I heard that you and Uncle Cheng went to the southwest to fight some time ago. Is Uncle Cheng really killing people like the legendary one?"
"Don't talk nonsense, there is no one on the battlefield who doesn't kill people?" Li Xiu heard Qi Niang's words seem to be a little rude to Cheng Yaojin, and immediately coughed dryly, although she is a woman, she should also pay attention to her proper attitude.
"Hahaha~, General Cheng does like to kill people, but the more enemies a general kills, the more he has, the more he has, his reputation will be. For example, General Cheng killed people in the southwest this time, but the people there are most afraid of him and even stop him from crying at night. In contrast, General Qin, as the main general, does not have such deterrence power!" Su Dingfang had no scruples and laughed loudly. As generals, they are not afraid of being called butchers, and even Cheng Yaojin is even proud of it.
"I'll just say that last time I said Uncle Cheng killed the most people, but Sister Cheng didn't admit it. Next time I saw her, I had to cry!" Qi Niang clapped her hands and laughed, without any trace of the reserve of a woman. This made Li Xiu next to her unable to help but hold her forehead with her hands. She felt that her education was really a failure, and even her own sister could not educate her well.
However, Su Dingfang seemed to appreciate Qi Niang's generous personality. He laughed loudly and talked to her about a few interesting things in the army, which made Qi Niang smile back and forth, not even as a woman. In contrast, Wan Niang next to her was more ladylike, even if she smiled, she would cover her mouth with her hands and look like a standard lady. Of course, this is also related to her education in the palace. After all, she developed a habit since childhood, even if she lived in Li Xiu's house for so many years, she had not been ruined by Qi Niang.
After talking to Su Dingfang, Qi Niang suddenly looked at Pei Xingjian sitting next to her. Although Pei Xingjian was steady, he seemed at a loss when he saw two girls of the same age as him. Compared with the steady and decent performance he showed when he first met Li Xiu, he was completely different now.
"This young army officer, since your surname is Pei, what does it have to do with Hedong County Duke?" Qi Niang saw Pei Xingjian's nervous appearance, and couldn't help but feel very interesting at the moment, so she smiled and asked, Hedong County Duke was named Pei Ji, and Pei Xingjian's surname was Pei, so Qi Niang thought that the other party had something to do with Pei Ji.
"Well~, this... I don't know anything about it. Although I have the same surname as the Duke of Hedong County, I have both from the Pei family in Hedong. However, the Duke of Hedong County is the Western Family, and I am the Central Family, and their kinship relationship is very distant." Pei Xingjian was even more panicked by Qi Niang's sudden question, but in the end he replied with a blushing face.
"Hehe, you are not old and blushing so easily. I doubt you have ever been to the battlefield? Are you afraid of seeing dead people?" Qi Niang blushed when she saw Pei Xingjian's face, and she couldn't help but joke again.
"Qianniang, don't talk nonsense. Pei Zongjun was appreciated by General Su at a young age and accepted as a student. He must have extraordinary abilities. How can we two little girls compare?" When he heard Qiniang's words, Wanniang suddenly spoke. Although she was timid, it did not mean that she could not speak. For example, the above sentence praised Pei Xingjian and Su Dingfang, which was much better than Qiniang.
When Su Dingfang heard this, he couldn't help but laugh. It was the first time he was praised by a little woman so much. In contrast, Pei Xingjian seemed even more shy, his face was red and he was almost bleeding. This was not surprising. After all, he entered the army at a young age and had no experience in contact with women of the same age. His performance at this time was completely the instinctive reaction of an ignorant boy.
