Looking at Jiang Shanhe who was feeling uneasy for no reason, Shao Zhan frowned, stood up and walked to his side, "What's wrong with you?"
"It's okay." Jiang Shanhe resisted the urge to step back. If he stepped back, wouldn't that be admitting his guilt and telling him that he had something to hide?
"Strange." Shao Zhan said to him, then turned and passed by, "Let's have breakfast together."
Jiang Shanhe's breath was choked, and he waited until the other person made way and walked out the door. Then he let out a breath and followed him hesitantly, hoping that he could save his face for a while.
I walked and silently chanted in my heart, and my heart became calm and cool...
"Are you worried recently?"
Shao Zhan asked him as he walked.
"No." Jiang Shanhe shook his head. What could he be worried about except this damn body odor?
Shao Zhan glanced back at him and said, "I don't believe you." "Your dark circles are more honest than your mouth."
"..." Jiang Shanhe touched his eyes. Was there? He really didn't notice it.
Shao Zhan laughed and shook his head. What a joke! He ran out with dark circles under his eyes.
"By the way, did you see the stove in the hall?"
"Yes, but it wasn't there when I went to court yesterday."
Jiang Shanhe thought that when he went to court yesterday, the stove was not as small as it is today.
"Is it much warmer than that?"
"Indeed." Jiang Danhe didn't expect that he would sweat even though he was wearing such thin clothes today. Although it is small, it is very strong.
Shao Zhan smiled at him and said, "This is a big thank you to your wife."
Jiang Shanhe was stunned for a moment, and inexplicably felt a little shy, "Xiaoguo?"
Shao Zhan glanced at the man who laughed when Xiao Guo was mentioned. He looked like a loser. "Yes, it's Xiao Guo~"
The last two words were spoken in the same tone as Jiang Shanhe, which made him dissatisfied and he said, "I can yell that." You can't yell that.
Shao Zhan laughed, and he understood what was said next without anyone saying anything. He said helplessly, "Yes, yes, Mrs. Jiang, right?"
Jiang Shanhe was not shy after hearing this, but nodded generously. She was Mrs. Jiang after all, and Xiaoguo was a personal title, so outsiders should shut up.
At the dinner table, after the eunuch finished tasting the food, Shao Zhan dismissed everyone, leaving only him and Jiang Shanhe.
Seeing this situation, Jiang Shanhe's mind was racing.
"The Huns may be making a big move soon."
Jiang Shanhe listened carefully. He was also very concerned about the affairs of the Xiongnu. Ever since Shao Zhan ascended the throne, they had been making small moves constantly, always doing some small and shameful moves to provoke. However, as soon as Shao Kingdom sent troops, they immediately retreated. All these behaviors were very disgusting.
However, it is not easy to attack the Xiongnu directly. After all, they have not done any substantial harm to the State of Shao. If we send troops just because of a little "trouble", it may attract criticism from other countries. It will be troublesome if the surrounding small countries attack the State of Shao together.
Although the current Shao Kingdom is quite powerful and does not need to take those small countries seriously, it is just like a fly, which does not bite people but only annoys them.
Imagine that life is going well, but a group of unscrupulous flies come flying around from time to time, which is annoying at least. So you have to think of a foolproof plan that will not mobilize too many troops but also make sure they no longer have the energy to cause trouble.
Shao Zhan looked at Jiang Shanhe who was in deep thought and subconsciously slowed down his movements. He was very confident in Jiang Shanhe's intelligence. If he knew that Jiang Shanhe had a way to solve this matter, then he would be relieved too.
-
Peach Blossom Village.
"Mom, why is it getting colder recently?"
A strong yet weak voice was heard, and the whole person curled up in the quilt, unwilling to get up.
Xiaoguo leaned on the bed with her arms folded, watching Zhuangzhuang's performance with great interest.
Zhuangzhuang secretly opened one eye from under the quilt and asked, "Why isn't Mom saying anything?"
"Hi~"
Zhuangzhuang was startled when he saw the pretty face approaching. He shouted loudly, no longer looking weak as before.
"That's enough!" Xiao Guo touched the strong buttocks, slapped them a few times with controlled strength, ignored the exaggerated screams, and said, "Hurry up and get up, it's time to eat!"
"Cold~"
"What's so cold about it? This isn't the time when you ran around the house naked last night."
"Mom, I'll get up right away." Zhuangzhuang knew he couldn't cheat when he heard it, so he quickly got out of the quilt, revealing his upper body in a bellyband.
The whole person is covered with a red bellyband and looks like a doll in a New Year picture, and even the skin is exactly the same.
"Little Jiang Qingwen, you really should lose weight."
Xiaoguo said some hurtful words mercilessly. She is cute, but she is really fat, with a protruding belly.
When Zhuangzhuang heard this, he sulked and felt aggrieved, but Xiaoguo was not used to his bad habit. Although he felt aggrieved when he was told that he was fat, he still ate a lot every meal.
"Hurry up, or I'll say goodbye to your roast duck tonight~"
Xiaoguo said with a hint of temptation.
Well, actually it’s not his fault that Zhuangzhuang is fat. Part of the reason is her own fault. She likes to watch Zhuangzhuang eat, and the more he eats, the happier she is.
"You always do what you say."
Zhuangzhuang did not show his usual excitement. Instead, he dressed calmly. He was tired of hearing about roast duck, but his mother was not tired of it.
"..." Xiaoguo was somewhat embarrassed. He thought that he seemed to have said this many times before, but due to force majeure, he always put it off. He didn't expect that Zhuangzhuang still remembered it.
"Hey, it's real this time~" Xiaoguo said again. She was serious. Why didn't Zhuangzhuang believe it?
"Yes, you are serious." Zhuangzhuang lowered his head to put on his socks and said without raising his head.
It was true this time, it was true last time, and even the time before that.
"..." Xiaoguo pursed her lips. Is her words so unreliable now...
Seeing Zhuangzhuang obviously not taking it seriously, Xiaoguo pretended to feel sorry and said, "Ah~ It seems I have to put the duck hanging in the kitchen away."
Huh? Really?
Zhuangzhuang stopped and stood up, looking at her with a puzzled look to confirm whether it was true or not.
Xiaoguo couldn't bear it anymore and gave him a slap on the face, saying, "You little bastard, you still don't believe me."
"Eat."
Xiaoguo pointed at Zhuangzhuang with his chin, and then led the way out.
Zhuangzhuang rubbed his head and followed her silently. He was wrong. He shouldn't have doubted his mother.
In fact, Xiaoguo really didn't lie to him. Some time ago, she kept saying she would do it, but she didn't do it. It was indeed force majeure. But this morning, when she opened her eyes, the first thing she did was to take the duck out of the refrigerator and thaw it in warm water.
Zhuangzhuang also came to the kitchen and saw the ducks soaking in the water at a glance.
"mother?!"
Zhuangzhuang looked at the duck in disbelief.
Xiao Guo held her cheek with one hand and looked at Zhuang Zhuang with a teasing expression, "Are you calling me mom? Or duck?"
"Hehe, mom is the best!" Zhuangzhuang jumped to Xiaoguo's side, hugged her arm and acted coquettishly.
He had been drooling over the roast duck his mother had described, but he had never tasted it. He never thought he would actually get to eat it tonight, hehe~
"Mom, can we have lunch today?"
He couldn't wait until evening.
"Unfortunately, no."
Xiaoguo feels sorry for Zhuangzhuang. He must be feeling very disappointed at this moment.
As expected, as soon as the words came out, Zhuangzhuang suddenly became like an eggplant hit by frost, wilted and listless.
It wasn't until I saw Xiaoguo packing the ducks that I became alert.
He hurried to Xiaoguo's side and ran around like a little sparrow, chirping and running around.
In fact, there was nothing for him to do, but he just couldn't sit still. He was running left and jumping right, and he was the only one who was tired. It seemed that by doing this, Xiaoguo could quickly get the duck into the oven.
