But since he was at home, Duan Qingxi didn't tinker with it too much. He just did it the same way as usual.
But when she arrived at the main hall, she was stunned.
Why is Chen Xuan'er dressed so formally?!
Wow, he’s almost asking people to hang their valuables on their bodies!
Does she think that Duan Sijin will like her just like this?
How ridiculous!
"Daddy."
"Well, Xi'er is here? Come, come and sit here with daddy."
Duan Hong smiled and extended his hand to Duan Qingxi, then asked her to sit on the other side of him.
Although this child is a girl, she is very similar to him, both in character and other aspects, and is even better than him.
At the banquet before, the emperor had praised her several times, and she also did a good job in controlling floods and suppressing bandits.
Even if I were to do it, I might not be able to do it as well.
He had always wanted to find an opportunity to praise her, but there was never a suitable time. Later, she was summoned to the palace, and he was busy with his own things. Even if the father and daughter had something to say, they had no time.
"Xi'er, you did very well this time. Daddy is proud of you! Although you are a girl, you are not inferior to boys! Everyone says that a woman's virtue lies in her lack of talent, but Daddy believes that girls should be like Xi'er, no less capable than men, and they can also hold up half the sky!"
Duan Qingxi had a smile on her face and was very happy. She liked her father's thinking!
It is the same in modern times. Although she is spoiled like a little princess, she is still taught to be independent and self-reliant.
But just as she was about to speak, Chen, who was sitting next to her, suddenly muttered, "What kind of talk is that? If women are the same as men, then what do women need men for? Wouldn't all men be extinct then?"
Duan Qingxi: ...
Duan Hong's expression suddenly turned ugly. He was talking to his Xi'er, what did this stinky woman have to do with her?!
Duan Ming was used to reading people's expressions. He knew that Duan Hong was unhappy, and he was secretly annoyed that Chen was not good at speaking and only liked to offend people!
He glared at Chen and said, "Shut up! How Big Brother educates his children is Big Brother's business. What does it have to do with you?"
After a pause, he smiled ingratiatingly at Duan Hong and said, "Brother, don't bother with this woman. Women are all like this. Ignore her. However, someone like Shishi is also quite good. She's gentle and kind, and good at poetry and songs. Wouldn't it be great for her to have children with her husband in the future?"
Duan Hong glanced at Duan Shishi and felt indescribable in his heart.
It’s not that girls like Duan Shishi are bad, but he just...can’t get close to her.
Duan Ming brought the topic to Duan Shishi, and Duan Hong didn't know what to say, otherwise it would seem like he only liked Duan Qingxi and not Duan Shishi.
He then said, "Xi'er, you must keep the rewards given to you by the emperor safe and sound. Don't let them be cheated away by those with ulterior motives."
As he said this, he glanced meaningfully at Duan Ming and Chen.
Chen is a woman after all, and her face is so ashamed that she can't even face people. Isn't this a subtle mockery of them?!
However, Duan Ming's expression remained unchanged. In his opinion, Duan Qingxi's things were already theirs, so there was nothing to be shy about. He also said, "Yes, Xi'er, those things are all gifts from the emperor, you must take good care of them!"
Duan Qingxi glanced at the two of them without saying anything. Then she looked at Duan Hong and said, "Dad, I'm not married yet. It wouldn't be good for me to keep these things with me. Why don't you give them to me for safekeeping?"
