Yang said with no worries: I dare not dance anymore.

Mrs. Chen reached out to hold the cup to pour tea, and while gasping, she asked casually: Why?After she said that, she put a small cup in her mouth and drank it all. The tea was probably cold, but her forehead was sweating profusely, and the cold tea tasted just right.

It is said that good tea needs to be drunk and savored little by little, but Mrs. Chen also drank it in one sip. It seems that no one cares about so much when the thirst is hot.

Yang said softly: After watching Mrs. Chen’s dance, how could I dare to show off again?Fortunately, my husband has never seen me dancing... My husband said he doesn't understand this, but you just saw it so hard that you were out of your body.

After hearing this, Guo Shao thought to himself: I really don’t understand, but I’m not blind.

When Mrs. Chen heard that her soul was out of her body, she almost sprayed out the second cup of tea. She quickly pressed her red lips with her fingers, and her face turned red.

Guo Shao hurriedly said: Song and dance are hobbies, and they are not the ones who dance the best.When we get home, Yue'e also arranged a song and asked me to appreciate it... Haha, I'm not an expert anyway.

Mrs. Chen smiled slightly, with a dimples on her cheek, and her tone was filled with a teasing feeling: Before General Guo could watch it, he knew that Mrs. Yang was not dancing the best?

This girl is indeed carrying a needle in a cotton pad. She has only met twice. Last time she was still wearing a curtain. Why are you a little unceremonious but embarrassed when you speak?Guo Shao was immediately trapped in.

Yang pursed her lips: I just didn't dance as well as Mrs. Chen. Today, I saw her first move and knew she lost.

I didn't seem to be convinced by her tone, otherwise I wouldn't say anything about winning or losing. I don't know if I was praising Chen Jiali or secretly competing.The competition between women is also very persistent, but nothing wrong with it.

Guo Shao took the opportunity to change his embarrassment and said: Yue'e practices when she is fine... There seems to be a small building by the lake north of our home. She goes back and asks someone to clean up, and buys whatever she needs and uses it to practice dancing.

At this time, Mrs. Chen smiled and said: I'm not the best dance either.

oh?Guo Shao was surprised. Is there anyone in this world that is more powerful than his wife?

Mrs. Chen said: There is heaven beyond heaven and there is someone beyond man. At least I know that Zhou Xian is better than me.

After hearing this, Guo Shao could not imagine how superb she could be with her personal performance skills. Mrs. Chen's dance posture was far from his experiences, so he naturally could not imagine what she was better than her.

He said: Although I am an amateur, I think Mrs. Chen’s colorful dress dance is amazing and shocking. The simple feather dress dances with neon colors.It is rumored that Zhou Xian is famous. Perhaps she just had the opportunity to show her when she entered the palace, and was observed by the world, so she had many chants.Mrs. Chen lives in a secluded state and is slightly less famous, but her skills may not be worse than those who are famous.

Mrs. Chen raised her eyebrows as daisy as she painted, and said without hesitation: Only the princes and nobles who were drunk and dreaming of life have seen a lot. General Guo didn't know this, so it was not surprising.

Guo Shao had no choice but to say: I hope to hear Mrs. Chen’s great views.

Chen Jiali said: Although musical singing and dancing are not practical, they are very useful to go to a high place.First of all, you must be qualified. A smart and conscious heart and bone muscle must be born suitable. No matter how hard you practice, it is useless for people who are not qualified to practice hard. Of course, if you have qualifications, you must practice specifically since childhood...

Guo Shao nodded and said: The same principle as archery, no one who is powerful is not a monk halfway.

Chen Jiali said: That's true, but it's different from archery martial arts.When a man learns martial arts, he can also make achievements and earn wealth for himself while serving the country. What's the use of a woman learning dance?No woman is determined to become a dancer who shows up in public, but marrying a wealthy family is the best destination. Since she has a status and identity, do she still need to sing and dance to entertain people?

Guo Shao asked with great interest: Then why can Mrs. Chen, Zhou Xian and Yue'e sing and dance well?Especially Zhou Xian, who should be the daughter of the Zhou family, a great family in the Jiangnan country and an important minister of the court, wouldn’t she still be prosperous and wealthy?

Chen Jiali smiled and said: General Guo did not hear that "a scholar died for his confidant, and a woman was favored for his compassionate person." Appearance alone was not enough, and "ambition" could also be said to be trying his best to win the love of that person.Some women can sing and dance, but not for glory and wealth, but for favor.No matter how outstanding your dancing skills are or how noble your spirit is, if no one appreciates them, it is boring to appreciate them alone.

But for those who are not interested in, it doesn’t matter whether they appreciate or appreciate them or not.It would be interesting to have to be admired and favored by the person you admire.For this reason, you can give up years of training.

Guo Shao and Yang looked at each other, and both thought Chen Jiali's words were quite reasonable.

Those who have a higher background are unwilling to show up as dancers, but only get the appreciation of one person; just like a man with superb martial arts, he usually chooses to rest, does not become an assassin or a bandit hero, but is only willing to participate in the royal family.

For example, Guo Shao himself, he felt that if he was an assassin, he would definitely be very professional. He would hide and snipe the opponent, and shoot the key points with one shot at one shot at a time. Don’t be too sharp... But would he do that?

Therefore, it is most likely that there are masters among the bandits and evil people; those who are truly skilled in martial arts have been bribed by the court, so there is no need to live in hiding.

Mrs. Chen said again: Zhou Xian’s foundation may not be as good as me, but she admired the talent of the sixth prince of the Southern Tang Dynasty and got the opportunity to enter the palace again.The sixth prince of the Southern Tang Dynasty was interested in traveling around the mountains and rivers, reading and writing lyrics leisurely, and had a lot of time to appreciate Zhou Xian's talents and skills.In order to get the appreciation of his sweetheart, Zhou Xian naturally worked harder and had a sense of harmony... But I am different. The colorful dress dance started to be rehearsed a few years ago, otherwise I would have no mind now; I am abandoning it, but Zhou Xian is rising, so she must be better than me now.

After hearing this, Guo Shao nodded and realized: I still have to know how to appreciate it.

Unexpectedly, Yang curled his lips and said: It is useless for a man to understand singing and dancing... Only that ignorant young lady can like young young people who are only good at playing and looking handsome. People like Langjun, only those who understand can understand you... When she said this, her face turned red, and she might think that she was too explicit, so she quickly changed the topic and looked at Chen Jiali. Langjun asked Mrs. Chen, do she like such young people?The head of the Shen family must not be that waiting person.

After hearing this, Mrs. Chen's face became dim and she said: Of course, my husband doesn't know how to sing or dance. He is good at doing business and is very good at calculating when necessary. He is born to be a businessman.

Mrs. Yang hurriedly comforted her, saying that she shouldn't mention Mrs. Chen's sadness.

Mrs. Chen said: I can't let go, but I feel that he didn't do anything that hurts the world and dies so miserably. Although my husband and I are not the real man of the husband, I have also been recognized by the Shen family... If General Guo can defeat the Liao people and take revenge, maybe I can let it go.

Guo Shao asked: What is the name of the person who plundered and slaughtered the head of the Shen family?

Chen Jiali said: The owner who came back to ask for the ransom of her concubine was Xiao Siwen, who was an important minister of the Liao Dynasty.There is no way to know who killed the caravan. It is probably the subordinates of the Khitan noble Xiao Siwen.The Xiao family used to be the Bali family, and was given the surname Xiao. It was a family that married the royal family of the Liao Kingdom for generations. Most of the prime ministers of the foreign dynasties were from the Xiao family and were very prominent. Even if they were willing to do anything to ordinary people, they would have no choice.

Xiao Siwen, this name is easy to remember. If you remember Bali, you may have to forget it.Guo Shao nodded and said, "When I follow the officials to attack the northern expedition and destroy the Liao Kingdom, I will pay special attention to where Xiao Siwen is. I will capture you and take revenge."

At this time, Yang said softly: Is the husband going to capture Lu Mengjun?

Lu Mengjun?Chen Jiali pondered, I have heard of this person, what kind of grudges does General Guo and Mrs. Yang have with him?

Guo Shao hurriedly said: It's nothing.It’s all over, and Yue'e doesn’t have to be sad anymore.

After hearing this, Chen Jiali's eyes swept across Guo Shao and Yang's faces and said calmly: If General Guo really could capture Xiao Siwen, the nobleman of the Liao Kingdom, I will definitely repay you.

Guo Shao said generously: Even if we don’t make personal grudges, our Great Zhou army should use swords to force the Liao people to compromise, know some humanity and understand the truth that we don’t owe each other!He sighed for a moment, the mountains and rivers in China are beautiful and the flowers are beautiful.Since we are in power, hold military power, eat a generous salary, and enjoy the essence of the people, we must defend this land and revitalize our divine power, and we must have the responsibility to protect this land and revitalize our divine power.

After hearing this, Chen Jiali praised: If all the powerful people in the world are as envious as General Guo, how could Hebei be bullied by enemies?

Guo Shao said: I can’t control what others think, but I didn’t say anything in front of Mrs. Chen. I really think so.We are in a high position, no matter how we come up, since we have the national weapon in hand, we should have some responsibility beyond asking for it.We all don’t care about the world. Do we have to take care of the unarmed and disorganized people?They were forced to make a living and couldn't even have enough food.

After some words, they felt like they were in a similar mood and had a great conversation.

But Mrs. Chen's face gradually became tired, and dancing to the colorful clothes might have consumed a lot of energy.

She instructed Aunt Sun to put the prepared wine and dishes on it, poured a glass of wine for Guo Shao with his own hands, and then used the excuse of changing clothes and never coming out again.

After a while, Aunt Sun came out and said, "Madam is a little tired, I'm sorry to be accompanied. Please ask a few distinguished guests to use it slowly."

Guo Shao had no choice but to have lunch here.Mrs. Chen's wine is average, and she probably is not a drinker.

After dinner, Aunt Sun handed over a red post and said: The entry for the betrothal gift is ready, and we will send someone to Guo’s mansion tomorrow.

Guo Shao took a rough look and found that there were various silk fabrics, gold and silver ware, and jewelry, which were all valuables.

He looked at the price below and found out after roughly calculating that Mrs. Chen’s business might be a big loss... Guo Shao had no choice but to pay more because he didn’t have that much, so he had to accept it.

The three of them said goodbye after dinner.

When I walked out of the hall, I saw the flowers on the treetops blooming in the spring, and petals fell on the ground.

For a moment, Guo Shao's heart was filled with love for all this and pity for him... It's not his kindness, but the things he saw and heard were so beautiful.
