Zhang Shixun endured the pain and puffed out his chest, "Of course it's our child."
Ding Dusai opened his mouth and bit his arm. Zhang Shixun screamed in pain. When he looked at his arm again, he saw two rows of deep teeth marks on it.
After she finished biting it, she felt a little distressed, but her mouth was still hard, "Humph! Let's see if you can still take advantage of me verbally."
Zhang Shixun extended his other arm and said with a grin, "Good things come in pairs. Give it another bite."
"go!"
Li Shishi looked at the two of them with a smile and asked, "Are you still cleaning the room?"
"certainly."
The three of them were chatting and laughing as they swept the floor and wiped the table.
Li Shishi was a person who had never done housework and never did these so-called rough work. However, when working for Zhang Shixun, she worked very hard.
The cleaning was done quickly.
Li Shishi washed her hands and said, "It's getting late. I should go back."
Zhang Shixun wanted to keep her from the bottom of his heart, but he opened his mouth and swallowed the words back.
It's not time yet.
Dingdu track: "Sister, we will take you back."
Li Shishi asked her, "Saisai, what about you? Are you going home or sleeping at my place?"
Ding Dusai thought for a moment and said, "I'll sleep here with Mr. Zhang tonight... Oh! Mr. Zhang, the house in the front yard is empty. How about you sleep in the front yard?"
"No problem, I'll sleep in the front yard."
After sending Li Shishi back, Ding Dusai stayed as expected.
"Sai... Saisai, aren't you scared sleeping here alone?"
"What do you mean?" Ding Dusai looked at him warily.
"It's literally what it means. If you're scared, I can sleep with you... Don't get me wrong, you sleep on the bed and I'll sleep on the floor."
"Don't even think about it. Who can guarantee that you won't have any bad thoughts? No! Absolutely not."
"Okay, I'll go to the front yard."
Before going downstairs, Zhang Shixun still didn't give up, "Saisai, are you really not afraid? There's the Bian River outside the wall. What if..."
Ding Dusai shuddered. She looked toward the window and felt uneasy.
Zhang Shixun saw her start to hesitate, and he couldn't help but feel secretly happy, but on the surface he pretended to be serious, "How about this, you sleep upstairs, and I'll sleep downstairs. That way you'll feel more at ease, right?"
Ding Dusai thought about it and finally agreed, "Well... okay."
Zhang Shixun took out a set of bedding from the cabinet, said good night and went downstairs.
There was no bed downstairs, so he pulled the table out and put a mattress on it. Just as he was about to lie down, he saw Ding Dusai sticking his head out from upstairs.
"Sir, this is not a place to sleep. You'd better come upstairs... Let's make it clear first, we'll sleep on each side, and you can't do anything bad."
After all, she still felt sorry for him.
Zhang Shixun was overjoyed and patted his chest, saying, "Don't worry, I will definitely behave myself."
He carried the bedding back upstairs, Ding Dusai slept inside and Zhang Shixun slept outside.
He behaved himself just as he promised.
It was late at night and everyone was asleep, but they could hear each other's breathing clearly.
Ding Dusai had been sleepy, but now he was not sleepy at all. Knowing that Zhang Shixun was also asleep, he asked, "Sir, if the Jin soldiers attack the Song Dynasty again, can Kaifeng City withstand it?"
"If we want to defend it, of course we can, but there is a condition."
"What conditions?"
"Everyone is united as one."
"This...I'm afraid it's difficult to do?"
Zhang Shixun sighed, "It's not that it's difficult to do, but that it's simply impossible. The new emperor has just ascended the throne and the throne is not stable. In order to consolidate the throne, he has ignored the external enemies and set up defenses against his ministers everywhere. Look at those ministers, they are afraid of the Jin Kingdom like a tiger, and they are scheming and deceiving each other. As the saying goes, they are good at fighting internally, but not good at fighting externally. How can such a court defend the capital?"
"Let's talk about the army. Although the Song army is large in number, they are just filling in the numbers and their combat effectiveness is extremely low. Not many of them can actually go to the battlefield. As for the Western Army, it is only slightly stronger than the other armies."
Zhang Shixun grew increasingly angry as he spoke. "What's even more incredible is that as soon as the Jin troops retreated, the court dismissed all the troops that came to support the emperor, but no one considered what to do if the Jin troops returned."
After listening to him, Ding Dusai asked with concern: "Sir, if the emperor invites you to the court, will you go?"
"No! A year ago, I repeatedly reminded the Emperor and the ministers that the Jin army was bound to invade, and I even worked tirelessly to train the Tianwu Army. Did you see the result? The Emperor not only didn't appreciate it, but was suspicious and hindered us at every turn. I think the new emperor is just like his father, a narrow-minded person who only cares about imperial power. I, Zhang Shixun, disdain to be their subject."
Ding Dusai moved closer to him, patted him gently and said, "No matter what you do, I will fully support you."
"What if I want to rebel?"
"Don't say such things. If someone with ulterior motives hears them, disaster will befall you."
"Haha! Don't worry, I am a subject of the Zhao family and will not rebel against them. However, they are not doing their best, and with the fierce enemy of the Jin Kingdom, the Zhao family's imperial power is not very stable."
Ding Dusai was silent for a while, then asked, "What if...what I'm talking about, if Emperor Zhao lost the throne, would you...?"
"If the Zhao Song Dynasty were to fall, the world would be in chaos, and hundreds of millions of people would suffer. If that happens, I will do everything in my power to resist the invaders and rebuild the country."
Hearing this, Ding Dusai lifted his quilt, crawled into his quilt, and put his face on his chest, "Sir, I'm scared."
Zhang Shixun hugged her gently and said, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."
The beauty is in my arms, soft, gentle and fragrant.
His heart began to stir, and he hugged her tighter.
Ding Dusai seemed to sense it, and quickly broke free and returned to his bed.
Zhang Shixun said dejectedly, "Saisai, why did you go back again? Are you afraid that I'll eat you?"
"Hehe! Women are tigers, and I should be the one to eat people."
"When a tiger comes to me, it's like a tiger in trouble."
"Even if a tiger is trapped, it's still a tiger. Besides, you're not a dog... Stop imagining nonsense and go to sleep. You have a lot to do tomorrow."
"Okay, then go to bed."
Although Zhang Shixun was itching to do it, he didn't want to do it hastily.
Marriage is a big event, so there should be a sense of ceremony.
Also, he didn't want Ding Dusai to look down on him.
If you don't eat the meat right in front of you, you will be laughed at in the future.
No words were spoken all night.
The next day, Zhang Shixun got up quietly at the first crow of the rooster, played with the stone lock in the back garden for a while, then called Ergou and went to the street to buy some sou bing - something similar to fried cakes in later generations. On the way back, he saw tofu pudding for sale and was overjoyed. He asked Ergou to go home and get a clay pot and buy enough tofu pudding for the three of them.
When I got home, Ding Dusai had just woken up.
