"Of course it makes sense!" Tang Shiyue changed the subject: "And what should a divine general look like? Do you have a standard answer?"
She stared at him fiercely, "There are military generals and Confucian generals in this world, there are those who can kill generals and seize flags, and there are those who can plan and strategize. According to you, only those who can move mountains and conquer the world can be called divine generals? Then what does it mean to be brave and resourceful? You have a definition of a divine general in your mind, and you say that those who do not meet this definition are not divine generals. What's your basis?"
"Besides, can you predict the future? How old is your child? How can you know that he won't be a divine general in the future? For example, right now, you are a five-year-old child. I am not your biological sister. In your eyes, Yan Dong is someone who is competing for his favor. How do you think you should behave like a 'descendant of a divine general'?"
Tang Shiyue retreated directly to the door, took a stick, walked in, tilted her head, and imitated Huo Qiyang's babyish voice while trying to be serious as a little adult: "I want to duel with you, and the loser must leave the Tang family immediately!"
That little thing made Yandong burst out laughing.
Tang Shiyue said seriously: "How much like a general? How brave? How manly?"
She quickly sat in his seat again, stretched out a finger, made a pushing gesture, showing the "vulnerability" of a five-year-old child, and then raised an eyebrow at him.
Yandong was confused by her and felt that what she said made a lot of sense.
At this time, Xia Yuhui, who was about to come in, was squatting outside with Sheng Qi eating dried meat. Xia Yuhui couldn't help but sigh: "Our boss has a mouth that can make the dead alive. Don't get around her, you can't get around her."
Sheng Qi frowned and said, "You are so bold. You dare to say anything."
...
...
"She is just like that," Xia Yuhui said nonchalantly, "She is protecting her food. No one can say that she is a bad person."
Sheng Qi had so much to say but couldn't say it: "But...Alas!"
The two looked at each other silently.
Sheng Qi's eyes said, "You know nothing about power and status."
Xia Yuhui didn't care. "No matter who it is, they will still have to bow down to the evildoer of the Dong family in the future!"
Yan Dong was indeed not angry. He was a person who was very receptive to opinions.
He smiled and asked, "Do you think he was right to do this?"
"Yes, judge the situation! I taught you that!" Tang Shiyue was very proud: "It doesn't matter whether the cat is black or white, as long as it catches mice, it is a good cat. No matter how cute you act, as long as you can achieve your goal, you will win. You must learn to make full use of the resources in your hands, understand?"
"For example, salt, iron and grain are the most important things for a country. Money and power are the games of adults, and the only thing a child can use is himself. You have to understand that in many cases, 'weakness' can also be a very useful weapon! Do you understand?"
She looked at him, and Yan Dong had no choice but to nod: "I understand."
He thought the young lady's words were really interesting, so he asked her, "Do you mind if others plot against you?"
"How can this be called calculation? This is called acting like a spoiled child!" Tang Shiyue said: "He wants my love, and he also gives me more attachment. How can this be called calculation? Didn't you act like a spoiled child with adults when you were a child?"
He really didn't.
Yan Dong sighed silently, then asked with a smile: "That Yao'er, is she your biological sister?"
Tang Shiyue nodded, and Yan Dong said, "Your sister is not as close to you as Qi Yang."
"Yeah," Tang Shiyue nodded, "It's not that I don't like her, but, how should I put it, 'The crying child gets the candy', this saying really makes sense. A Yao is so obedient, no matter what she does, she does it very well without any need for me to tell her. I don't need to worry about it at all."
"It's hard to know where to start with a kid like this. I can't just clap my hands and flatter him every day. Hey, Ayao, you did a great job today! Ayao, you did better today than yesterday! Ayao, you did better today than yesterday, the day before yesterday, and the day before yesterday!"
She spread her hands.
Her expression and tone were so funny that Yan Dong couldn't help but smile. As he smiled, his brows furrowed, as if he was thinking about something.
Tang Shiyue continued, "If I really praise her like this, she will either work harder, and I'm really afraid of tiring her out, or she might go to the other extreme and worry about something not being done well, which is also worrying. So, I really don't know where to start."
"Besides, she doesn't stick to me at all. I don't feel any sense of accomplishment as a big sister! Although I am a big sister, I am also a human being. There are those who respond and those who don't. Of course, I still prefer those who respond! And this little guy Ayang is really lovable. Don't look at him acting like a spoiled child in front of me. In fact, he is both civil and martial. He is as reliable as an adult in doing things. Such a child... is really very lovable. I love him so much."
She glanced at him and said, "So, I'd rather be a troublesome person than a worry-free person. Otherwise, even if we share the fruits, I have to give you the smallest one! Otherwise, why do people say 'bullying the honest people'?" She said earnestly and patted his shoulder.
Yan Dong held his forehead and said with a smile: "I only act like a spoiled child in front of you, so I am particularly pleasing to you, right?"
"Yes!" Tang Shiyue said, "Love grows out of being together. Who doesn't want to be the special one?"
Yan Dong nodded slowly.
The truth is indeed very simple, but the simpler the truth is, the more thought-provoking it is.
When he returned home at night, he told Sheng Qi, "This young lady is really smart."
"Even more outspoken than me!" Sheng Qi didn't dare to mention what she said about the emperor or not, and said with great interest: "I heard Xia Yuhui say that on the first day he came, she threw all the business to him. He asked about it in fear and trepidation, and she said a lot!"
Yan Dong could tell that he was deliberately changing the subject, so he didn't point it out and just smiled and asked, "What did you say?"
Sheng Qilian learned it by speaking and gesturing, and it seemed as if he was listening next to them.
Yan Dong couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
Sheng Qi just thought it was a joke, but he heard some knowledge of how to control subordinates from it.
If Xia Yuhui wasn't such a humorous person with a bit of a rebellious streak in her bones, she might not have said such a thing.
It looks casual, but who knows if it's not another way of catering to someone's preferences?
Just like before, she really seemed to be not polite at all, speaking her mind freely, and actually controlled the atmosphere just right.
At first, she criticized him rudely, but in the end, she imitated Qi Yang, being charming and cute, and made him laugh, and her face could no longer be fixed.
Give someone a slap in the face and then give them a sweet date. How cunning.
Yan Dong sighed and patted Sheng Qi's head: "Think more about everything, don't just be silly and happy."
Sheng Qi: “Huh?”
Yandong has already walked away with his hands behind his back.
In fact, he didn't really have any romantic feelings for Tang Shiyue. The royal family got married early, and his eldest daughter was already ten years old. He looked at her like his own daughter.
But for such a smart and talented young lady, if Huo Qijing hadn't been willing to offend others in order to express his feelings... he would really have wanted to win her over.
…………
In a flash, it was the 22nd day of the twelfth lunar month. Yuefang was closed for holiday, and the last batch of textiles for the "special sale" was also transported to Chang'an city at full speed.
The children in the martial arts school also had their holiday. Xu Wenqu entrusted Tang Shirong and the others to Xia Yuhui and returned to his home in the city.
By the afternoon, the two sets of clothes and the hat, scarf, socks, four and a half items from the same series were finally completed, and two days ago, Yandong's four and a half items were also finished.
So Yandong took the Fushou wine, Tangjia fruit wine, Yingxiong wine, Dongpo pork and other products he had bought and sent them along with his letter to Chang'an overnight, and they should be delivered before the New Year.
Having accomplished such a big thing, everyone felt relieved and celebrated the New Year in a lively manner.
Because of Tang Shiyue's good popularity, the dinner table was filled with various foods sent by neighbors, and everyone was very satisfied with the meal.
The next morning, Tang Shiyue suddenly remembered something and started to look for people to help: "Who can write? Who can write beautifully?"
