However, someone spoke up for herself and was criticized, so she couldn't just sit back and watch.
Thinking of this, Jian Xiu looked over coldly again, then subconsciously raised her red lips.
He said with a smile, "Since you said so, why didn't the Madam Hou you mentioned show up today? Today is the day when her son and grandson return to the court. This is such an honorable event, why didn't she show up?"
The woman choked, then quickly responded and retorted:
"What you said, do you think Madam Hou is as idle as you?"
"She's not free? If she wasn't free, would she be so miserable in the teahouse after returning to Beijing?"
After saying this, Jian Xiu looked up at the lady in front of her who was leading the group, and then continued:
"If I'm not mistaken, the lady should be Xi Yuanrong, the wife of Yang Hanwen, the Minister of the Central Secretariat! Does your husband know that you came here to spread rumors and confuse people?"
This voice was too familiar. She had just been standing here for such a long time, and this voice was the one that spoke the most.
Looking at her facial features, she must not be a good person.
As the saying goes, appearance is determined by the mind, Jian Xiu still thinks this is quite correct.
Looking at her outfit, plus the situation I learned from Chi Zijin these two times.
It is not difficult to guess the identity of the lady in front of you.
"You are investigating me?" Xi Yuanrong asked angrily.
After asking this question, he felt secretly proud of himself.
In her eyes, Jian Xiu investigated her simply because of her noble status.
If it was just an ordinary lady's family, with Jian Xiu's proud personality, she probably wouldn't take it to heart!
Looking at the woman in front of him, how could Jian Xiu not know what she was thinking?
Shuang then continued, "Everyone in the capital knows that Yang Hanwen, the Minister of the Central Secretariat, is generous to himself, but extremely stingy to his wife."
At this point, Jian Xiu's eyes were full of ridicule again, and he continued:
"Just look at what you're wearing. The ladies around you dress better and take better care of themselves than you do. When you stand next to them, you look like their maid."
At the end, Jian Xiu's face was full of disdain.
Isn’t Xi Yuanrong very proud?
To deal with such a person, all you have to do is tear away all the pride in his head, which is like sticking a knife in her chest.
She, Jian Xiu, either did not take any action, or if she did, she would have to hit her sore spot.
As the saying goes, a snake's weakest point is its weakest point. Jian Xiu has absolutely implemented this saying to the letter.
Looking at Xi Yuanrong's colorful face, Jian Xiu felt inexplicably happy.
Why bother her for no reason?
She is so busy every day, how can she have the time to confront these official ladies?
As the saying goes, it is better to encounter than to choose, so today she will solve the matter together.
Thinking of this, he glanced at everyone coldly and continued:
"You said that I got these rewards by relying on my husband's military merits. Regardless of whether what you said is true or not, these are all rewards given to me by the emperor. In other words, are you questioning the emperor?"
After saying this, he continued:
"Do you know how much harm your words can cause to others? I originally didn't intend to pay attention to what you said."
"But do you who have never been to the frontier or fought on the battlefield know that the fact that you can sit here safely, drink tea, talk about your concerns, and discuss some gossip is not natural."
"You can have the life you have today because there are people who are carrying the burden for you. They have earned it by risking their lives on the battlefield. Every war is won with blood and sweat."
"But what about you? While drinking tea here, you forget the people who have always worked hard for you, and even forget why you have the life you have today."
Jian Xiu spoke these words with deep sorrow.
After saying this, Jian Xiu didn't even glance at them, but looked straight towards the city gate.
Because just when she was saying these words, she had heard them say that someone was coming.
Following the direction of the city gate, I saw the man sitting on horseback and walking in front.
At this moment, he was wearing armor and riding a horse slowly towards this side.
At the same time, his eyes were still moving around, as if looking for a figure.
Just when he looked up somewhere, Zhang Zixuan gently pulled the reins and let out a "whoa".
Then he just looked towards Jian Xiu steadily.
"He's looking over here, the general has looked over here..."
Such a sudden action instantly caused an uproar.
"He's looking at this side! It's our side!" Everyone on the third floor shouted.
"Didn't they say that this great general was a country bumpkin? I never imagined he would be so handsome!"
"He grew up in the countryside, but he is a young man. Everyone in the capital knows that he is the eldest son of Pingyuan Hou in the capital. Look at Pingyuan Hou's appearance, how bad can he be?"
"Ah...he's coming, he's coming..."
The crowd was suddenly shocked.
Jian Xiu didn't say anything. She just stared at the man who looked up at her.
I don't know why, even though they have been separated for some time, she seems as if she hasn't seen her for a long time.
Looking at his deep and stern face, Jian Xiu's heartbeat quickened when she tried something for the first time. At this moment, he was just sitting on the horse, staring at herself quietly.
However, before she could make any move, the man on horseback jumped off the horse briskly.
But when he did this, his eyes were still on Jian Xiu.
"He seems to be looking at Jian Xiu." Someone among the ladies just now said this.
As soon as these words came out, following Zhang Zixuan's line of sight, sure enough, his gaze did indeed rest on Jian Xiu.
Especially Xi Yuanrong, if he still thought he was of great status at the beginning.
So after Jian Xiu tore off her fig leaf, she felt ashamed.
Outside, she was the glamorous and beautiful wife of the Secretary of the Central Secretariat, who was envied by everyone.
But only she herself knew that it was only on the surface. In reality, she was not even as good as the concubines in the mansion.
Because the husband of the Secretary of the Central Secretariat didn't take him seriously at all.
Looking at Zhang Zixuan at this time, although he was standing there, his eyes had never left Jian Xiu.
