Men, listen, grab the top of the mountain and stand in the center position

Strictly speaking, Lan Die and her cousin's mother-in-law were from the same clan. They were tall, white, with curly hair, long arms and legs, a hooked nose, and big, blue-green eyes...

It's true. Wangshu smiled and said, "There are so many beauties in the world, what's the harm in having one more of me? Whoever is bullying us, please be careful! It's like we're just making up the numbers!"

The crowd of people gathered in the room burst into laughter and flattered Wangshu. She was quite self-aware and waved her hand, "I've finished reading. Go and do what you need to do."

Everyone goes back to their respective homes to find their respective mothers.

Several men left first, and when Landie arrived, Wangshu asked her what she thought about Ashina wanting to marry her.

The beauty's face was still a little flushed, but the smile on her face faded away when she heard the words. She knelt down and said in a trembling voice: "Madam, Lan Die... Lan Die is at your disposal."

"I'll make the decision. Miss Lan Die is a master of both dancing and music. Mingxi has chosen you as her teacher, and dancing takes more than a month or a year. As her parents, we certainly hope that you will continue to teach her. As for choosing a husband, I think it's best to pick an unmarried man who matches your abilities, has good character, and is responsible for taking care of the family. Husband and wife should work together to live a good life. A home is like a dance studio. Too many people will make it crowded and lead to contention and conflict. You are weak and fragile, so just the two of you will be happy as a small family."

Lan Die knelt on the ground, choking with sobs. When she heard her voice, tears were streaming down her face. "Thank you... Thank you, Madam, for your appreciation... Lan Die has no way to repay you... I only ask that I teach Miss Mingxi my humble skills..."

Xiaoqing came over to convey the lady's intention. Zhuzhu stroked her bulging belly and smiled, which seemed both reasonable and unexpected. "Then I'll have someone pass the message to the housekeeper now?"

The situation on the front lines is currently uncertain, and the rear is almost always responding to requests from the generals in the front lines, giving them priority. If we rashly deliver an unsatisfactory result...

"Xiaoqing was just conveying what Madam and Lan Die said. General Ah has been asking about this openly and covertly. Now that we have the confirmation, Xiaoqing thinks it's appropriate to inform them in a letter."

Asking questions openly or secretly is annoying.

Zhuzhu was silent.

Chang'an is not far from Hangu Pass, and the letter reached Ashina in just two days.

Two days before that, Qin Xiuyuan led his troops to ambush and launch a surprise attack, setting several fires in the enemy's granary. The wind fanned the flames, and the autumn weather was clear and cool, causing thick smoke to billow.

It was expected that there would be heavy losses and insufficient food supplies. The coalition forces who refused to give up would either return home or fight to the death. At that time, the city walls and watchtowers at various passes were on guard day and night, and no one dared to relax. More than 20 dogs were lying everywhere with their ears pricked up. It was at this moment of highly tense preparations for war that Ashina listened to Qin Shiqi reading out the news that he didn't want to hear.

Damn it! He threw his crutch to the ground, and the stick broke into pieces. Seventeen's eyelids jumped, and he waved his sleeves to block the flying wood chips.

Qin Ba heard about this and turned around to see Ashina being invited to the general's tent. Before he could point at Qin Shiqi and explode in anger, Qin Xiuyuan said coldly, "I told you this is not allowed."

"Boss, it's just a dancer!" Ashina defended, "There are so many famous people in Chang'an, and I invited them all to teach my little one!"

Lan Die's advantage lies in her figure and white skin. Since the general doesn't want to sleep, then of course he can take it! "Boss, if you don't accept it, it will be a waste to leave it..." As he spoke, Ashina realized that the superior's eyes were still dull, and his voice naturally became softer.

A few days ago, the boss gave the order to cut off the tongue and eradicate it, and this is his expression.

"You weren't promiscuous before you married. Now you're the most promiscuous womanizer in the army, thankfully without forcing anyone into a relationship. Regarding the dancer, I've clearly rejected you, leaving no room for maneuver. You keep sending people to ask my wife for her in roundabout ways. What's wrong? Don't you understand human nature?"

If he doesn’t understand human language, then he is not a dog! Ashina really doesn’t understand, “Isn’t it just a thing that dances and sings to entertain people…”

The words stopped abruptly. Ashina was caught off guard and failed to dodge the lamp that was thrown at him. His shoulder hurt and the candle fell to the ground. He looked up at the armored general in disbelief.

"Think about your daughter, wife, and mother." Qin Xiuyuan warned him, his eyes serious. "So many of you are single. You are not allowed to take anyone in from now on."

After scolding the servants, Ashina became anxious: "Then why am I still working so hard! They all followed me voluntarily!"

Qin Xiuyuan smiled, "You're moving back and forth between me and my wife, isn't it because the dancer doesn't want to?"

"Then...then..." If you don't accept the toast, you will have to drink the penalty wine. Ashina opened his mouth to argue, but facing the angry boss, he still let out his anger.

"It's hard for a woman to survive, but I'm not stupid. I wouldn't give up being a proper wife and volunteer to be your concubine... Even if you take a step back, you have dozens of sons. When they are granted fiefdoms, they will all be small landowners!"

Ah? Ashina raised his head and gave him a fief? How much land? Where?

Qin Xiuyuan was annoyed just by looking at him, "Go away."

His crutch was broken, so he had to lean on his sword to walk back and forth. The sword was short, and he hopped on one foot in a funny way. His head was full of fiefdoms and dozens of small landlord sons. He happened to meet Liang Ju who was strolling around, and unconsciously asked him, "Mr. Liang, you have a lot of wealth, why don't you have more children?"

Could it be that he was really worried that with too many sons, his wealth would be dispersed? Would the richest man split his fortune into dozens of small businesses?

“…” This is unbelievable! Urging marriage is actually popular in the military camp!

After thinking for a moment, he answered truthfully, "I had a wife and children in my early years, but they both died of illness. I haven't found anyone suitable yet."

Ashina didn't think too deeply about it. "With such a large fortune, how can you not have children quickly?"

... Liang Ju gave a slight wry smile. Wasn't what he said clear enough? He answered with a question: "With a large family, where there are people, there will be disputes. Isn't it the same with General Ah's wife choosing to live in the General's Mansion for a long time?"

His wife and children died of illness to the outside world, but in fact they fell into the lake and died. Why did they fall? There was always malice between the legitimate and illegitimate children.

Huh? "She's the Madam's physician, so she lives in the General's Mansion... Ah!" Ashina was confused. "Are you saying she ran to the General's Mansion because she was afraid someone would attack her?"

Otherwise, I didn't expect this guy to be such a big fool. There was a height difference, and it was tiring to raise his head and neck. "I'm going to see the general, general?"

He had just been scolded and beaten, and he still went, went to Deng! It didn't involve confidential information. He always said what he had to say: "If I go again, he will beat me to death. He asked for a dancer, but he wouldn't give it to me!"

Liang Ju: ...Madam and Miss Mingxi clearly like the gift that the Third Prince gave to the General. It is impossible for the Miss's dance master to be a concubine.

The lady doesn't like people who keep slaves or take concubines. Li Xin was in front, and this one is behind. Both of them were sent far away by the general... Zhang Sanji has been reluctant to get married. It is not ruled out that he now knows that as his confidant, he can only marry one person, so he is cautious.

Suddenly, a faint horn sounded from the northwest corner, a warning! Ashina's expression changed. Qin Xiuyuan strode out of the tent, followed by his adjutants. They all ran to the stables, saying, "Guard!"
