Chapter 272 The strategy of Yuezhang?
Zhao Ruxi is a person who pays great attention to details. That day when she met Xiao Lingyan at Jiebaozhai, shopkeeper Wang was more respectful and affectionate to her than usual. She guessed that there might be two reasons. One was that she persuaded her that day.
Xiao Ruotong, Xiao Ruotong went back to the British government the next day; one possibility is that she became a disciple of Mr. Kang Shilin, thus improving her status.
Therefore, when she went to Zhennan Prince's Mansion for the second time, Princess Zhennan's attitude towards her was much more affectionate than the first time. She sent the invitation with the intention of making good friends with her. She would never attend the banquet because she had official business.
Later, you will feel unhappy.
And so what if he's unhappy? Zhao Ruxi doesn't intend to deal with these housewives any more.
As for Mrs. Zhu's wish to gain more invitations by making good friends with the Zhennan Prince's Mansion, she would take her to more banquets in the future so that she could get to know more ladies, and ultimately achieve the goal of selling her out and finding her a good marriage.
Thank you very much.
"Mom, if you think about the things I did after returning home, isn't it worthy of you to treat me like a boy? I have my own world, and my deeds are in the court and in my own achievements.
.I don’t need to please those noble ladies and rely on gaining their favor to improve my status.”
She explained patiently: "Just look at this time, why did Princess Zhennan send me an invitation? Is it because I went to visit Mr. Xiao? No, mother. She was because I was Mr. Kumu's apprentice.
"
Zhu was startled and looked at Zhao Ruxi.
Zhao Ruxi nodded towards her: "This time I helped Dali Temple, not only the ladies from the aristocratic families, but also the adults in the court looked at me highly. I can rely on my ability, stand upright in front of others, and live a successful life."
A person can be compared with the husbands and sons of these ladies from aristocratic families. Do I need to lower my status to please them? Doing so will not only be useless to me, but also harmful, and make people look down on me. This is putting the cart before the horse.
"
"Well said." A strong voice sounded outside the door, and then Zhao Yuanxun appeared at the door.
He looked at Zhao Ruxi, his dark eyes were astonishingly bright, and his whole person was so full of energy that Zhu was stunned for a moment.
How long has it been since she saw her husband like this?
When Zhao Yuanxun was still the heir apparent, he had been so high-spirited when he came to Zhu's Mansion as a guest. However, due to poor health and hopeless official career, he fell silent and became unsmiling and taciturn.
"Sister Xi's words are right. My Xiaoxi is already a figure now, and will be as famous as Mr. Kumu in the future. She has a bright future. Madam, you can't drag her into the inner house. There is a bright future.
It is extremely foolish to take the dark alleys instead of taking the main road."
As Zhao Yuanxun spoke, he walked in and sat down on the chair.
Mrs. Zhu did not argue with her husband, nor did she feel unhappy because of her husband's words.
Because she knows Zhao Yuanxun very well. Zhao Yuanxun is a calm and humble person. If he hadn't encountered a great thing, Zhao Yuanxun would not be so distracted.
"Has something good happened to you?" she asked.
Zhao Yuanxun took the tea brought by the maid, drank it in one gulp, and then said very proudly: "Hey, guess who I will have dinner with tonight? Or maybe, who invited me to dinner tonight?" Zhu and Zhao Ruxi
Only then did he notice that Zhao Yuanxun smelled faintly of alcohol.
Zhao Yuanxun basically doesn't drink because of his poor health. Unless he encounters a major occasion or a big happy event, he will have a few drinks to celebrate.
Zhu's mind quickly flashed through recent events, and she really couldn't guess what good things could happen to the uncle's house.
Zhao Ruxi thought of Xiao Lingyan's words, but felt a bad premonition in her heart.
Sure enough, Zhao Yuanxun then said proudly: "It's Fu Yunkai, the young general of Pingnanhou."
"He invited you to drink?" Zhu asked doubtfully, and then his eyes lit up, "He wants to invite you to serve in the army?"
Only in this way can we explain why my husband is so happy.
"Hahaha, no." Zhao Yuanxun laughed, looked at Zhao Ruxi and said, "He came to apologize to me."
"Really?" Zhu was very happy after hearing this, "It seems that General Fu is also a reasonable person."
"Isn't that true?" Zhao Yuanxun said, "He personally sent a message to invite me to his villa for a drink, explained the purchase of the farm that day, and said a lot of words of admiration for me. Alas, I, Zhao Yuanxun, have been doing this all my life.
I am such a coward, but I never thought that I could get General Xuanwu to apologize to me and make friends with me. I thought about it, and it was all because our daughter was capable and was valued by the emperor and Mr. Zhang of Dali Temple, and by Mr. Kumu and Mr. Wu.
Maintenance."
General Xuanwu was from the fourth rank. Fu Yunkai was able to make military exploits at a young age and became General Xuanwu. Even though Zhao Yuanxun was older than him, he admired him very much. Marquis Pingnan was a role model for military generals.
Military attaches are different from civilian officials. Literary men look down on each other. No matter how good others are, there are many who are not convinced. Military generals are different, they are simpler. Those who are brave and good at fighting, can win battles and annihilate enemies, and can make achievements with military exploits, no matter what their origins are.
They all admired it.
After all, military commanders throughout the ages fought with their lives on the battlefield.
When Zhao Ruxi heard Zhao Yuanxun's words, her face looked a little strange.
She remembered what Xiao Lingyan said.
"Besides apologizing, what else did he say to you?" she asked.
Zhao Yuanxun misunderstood her meaning.
He sighed and said: "No. I know what you want to ask. But with my status, even if he wanted to ask me to serve in the army, I couldn't go. What's more, the emperor personally ordered me to take my idle position.
It was removed. He came to invite me after such a short time, so I was afraid of getting him into trouble."
He waved his hand: "Forget it, I'll just stay at home with peace of mind. I insisted on taking office before, because I wanted to find a way out for you and improve your status. Now that you have a lot of potential, you can help your brother.
I’ll just take care of myself at home.”
After hearing this, Mrs. Zhu smiled with a smile on her face: "Isn't that what you said? I have already said that your body and bones are healthy and you are stronger than anything else."
Zhao Ruxi listened to the conversation between the two and remained silent.
Although she didn't want to be sentimental, and she didn't think she was really a millionaire. But with Xiao Lingyan's reminder and Fu Yunkai's behavior tonight, it was hard for her not to think too much.
Fu Yunkai invited Zhao Yuanxun to dinner tonight, probably because of her.
What is he trying to do?
