On the wooden table in the middle of the flower hall, a white jade pot with mutton fat flashed with exquisite light in the sky.

Since the Han Dynasty opened the Western Regions and imported beautiful jade into the Central Plains, jade pots have the meaning of innocence and nobility. The jade pots ride on the ice, which means the same and clear inside and outside. Yuefu poem says, "It is as straight as a ruddy silk rope, as clear as a jade pot." The most popular sentence is Wang Changling's sentence "Little friends in Luoyang are asking each other, and a piece of ice heart is in the jade pot." After the Han and Tang Dynasties, all literati thought it was elegant to collect this item. Pure white and transparent curling are the best. This jade pot, both jade quality and carving, is the best choice.

Li Ruoxue was indifferent and still loved curling. Zhang Ruzhou tried every means to search for this jade pot, and he was willing to go his favor. He had already determined the authenticity of it. The so-called identification was just a clumsy excuse. However, such a clumsy excuse was not rejected. Although the five governments specifically protected the marriage of soldiers, they would not force themselves to forgive once they found that their relatives were dissatisfied with each other, but would solve it with a divorce letter. The Xia State regarded self-restraint as the way to establish a country, and there were laws and regulations for harmony. In this case, even the General's Mansion could not interfere.

Thinking of this, Zhang Ruzhou felt a fever in his heart and secretly swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva.

Seeing that his eyes were strange, Li Ruoxue frowned slightly, and secretly regretted not turning him out. Just as he was just saying a few words, he asked him to say goodbye and leave. At this time, the servant came to report and marched Sima Zhangding to ask for a meeting. Li Ruoxue pondered slightly, gritted his teeth, and asked the servant to reply that a guest would come to visit today, which was inconvenient to receive Zhang Sima. Then he didn't speak for a while, his expression changed, as if he was tragic, looking at the jade pot, silent.

Zhang Ruzhou was itchy and smiled and said, "Sir Li, how do you think of this jade pot?"

"Well," Li Ruoxue whispered, "It's indeed a top-notch, congratulations to Mr. Zhang."

"It's so good." Zhang Ruzhou smiled, "I know that my junior is good at this thing. Since it is a top-notch, I'll give it to my junior."

If the bachelor's mansion is a peer, he will be called "school brother" and "school brother". Zhang Ruzhou is accustomed to being a human being. Although Li Ruoxue is a woman, his talent is not as good as a woman. He pretends to be heroic, and he has respect intimacy, which also covers up his quarrels and dislikes, which makes people difficult to refuse. Even if Li Ruoxue refuses, Zhang Ruzhou will linger and stubbornly, using generous and heroic as a cover. It is necessary that she accept this valuable gift. As the saying goes, a fierce girl is afraid of tangling her. Before Li Ruoxue can refuse, Zhang Ruzhou has thought about the persuasion several times in his heart.

Li Ruoxue frowned slightly. At this time, someone behind the flower hall shouted loudly: "Take the things back!" The two looked up together. Before they finished speaking, an old man with white hair and thin face walked out of the back hall. Li Ruoxue immediately stood up and said, "Master Father." The old man looked at Zhang Ruzhou with a gloomy face, without any disgust. Although Li Gefei was not at a high position, he had been famous for decades and had long heard of his reputation in the Guanxi Bachelor's Mansion. Zhang Ruzhou hurriedly stood up with a respectful expression.

He held the courtesy of his younger generation, but Li Gefei was not polite at all and looked at him and said, ""I have family affairs, Mr. Zhang will come back first."

Zhang Ruzhou looked at Li Ruoxue with a look of surprise, but when he saw the hostess standing behind his father, he had no intention of objection, so he had to bow and say, "In this way, I will take it back first." Just as he turned around, Li Gefei called him again: "Take the things back." The old man Jiang Gui is so sexy. It was already early summer weather, and Zhang Ruzhou actually felt a hint of chill behind his back.

"Yuhu Bingqing was originally intended to give it to Mr. Li's elegant play." He reluctantly explained.

"Take it back!" Li Gefei said in a stressful tone, "You will not be welcomed in the future!"

He looked at Zhang Ruzhou with a knife-like look, as if he was hesitating again, and this gaze alone would cut him into dozens of pieces. "Master," Li Ruoxue said in a low voice. "Don't talk." Li Gefei scolded him, then turned to look at Zhang Ruzhou, and said sternly: "Wang Changling used the imperial court to order officials to express his aspirations. The so-called jade pot means honesty and self-serving. This mutton fat white jade pot is worth tens of thousands of yuan. You are so generous that you want to bribe my son-in-law? Just take the things back. If you dare to force it to stay, I will immediately send it to the Luoyang Prefecture Office as a stolen goods."

Zhang Ruzhou was stunned. No matter how many words he argued, he couldn't say anything. He had to pick up the jade pot and turn around and leave.

"It's a mistake for a woman to not teach her." Li Gefei turned her back to her daughter, and a low sigh came into Li Ruoxue's ears. She couldn't help but feel shocked. Her face turned red to the base of her neck. She looked at her father's back and argued wide, "Sir Zhang just used a jade pot to appreciate it, not a bribe!" Li Gefei suddenly turned around and looked at her daughter and said in a deep voice: "Of course I know it's not a bribe."

He looked at his daughter with pity, and then suppressed it again, "A woman's reputation is more valuable than a jade pot. If it weren't for your reputation, I wouldn't have let this shameless person go so easily." He was used to working in Han Qi's mouth in his early years, and he had met all kinds of people. He could see through Zhang Ruzhou's poor morals at first glance. In fact, Li Ruoxue knew Zhang Ruzhou's intentions, because she was so angry that she had such a tragic move. In Li Gefei's opinion, this was a self-deprecating act, so he was even more heartbroken. If she hadn't been a wife, she would have almost asked the monk to punish her daughter.

Seeing that his father showed regret and felt aggrieved, Li Ruoxue argued: "Just allow him to take the princess to Yangzhou, can I see a colleague from the Bachelor's Mansion?" She was clear-minded and had a tough temperament on the outside and inside. When she spoke, tears were already rolling in her eyes.

"If you are familiar with poetry and books, don't you know the difference between men and women?" Li Gefei shook his head and said, "Not to mention that Zhao Yuanzhi married the princess of Wu, there are many twists and turns in the middle. There are differences between men and women. You and this shameless person are indifferent. No matter what the intention is, it will always damage your reputation. I am more important than maintaining your reputation? I have taught you well and read female teachings since I was a child. Can't you forget it? Are you proud of your talent and not even take the teachings of your ancestors seriously? Do you want Zhao Yuanzhi, your two children, and the Zhao and Li families to be shamed? If you are still obsessed with it, how can you educate your children? I will teach them both etiquette and integrity in person." He sighed and spoke, coughing occasionally, and seemed very excited.

"Sir," Li Ruoxue choked, "My daughter knew she was wrong." She bit her lips lightly, and tears flashed across her jade-like cheeks.

Li Gefei looked at her sad appearance, as if he saw that his daughter, who had just been wronged, was not a general's wife or a mother.

"Oh--" He sighed and whispered: "We chose Zhao Yuanzhi, and you chose it. Since we chose him, we can only believe him. He is thousands of miles away, and before he comes back, he can only believe it all the time." He looked at Li Ruoxue and said in a deep voice: "When Zhao Yuanzhi comes back, if he is sorry for my daughter, your mother and I will support you." Li Gefei has also read the story book "The Legend of Qin Xianglian" circulated outside. Although he knew it was false, he was still angry. If Zhao Xingde did not give a reasonable explanation after he came back, his father-in-law would not let this unlucky person go.

"It's good if you know your mistake. During this period, your mother and I have not gone anywhere, and we will be with you in Luoyang."

"My father..." Li Ruoxue choked, "My daughter knew she was wrong."

With tears in her eyes, her father's back was blocking her like a towering mountain, protecting herself and sheltering herself from the wind and rain. At this time, the maid came to report that the wife Zhang, the wife of Luoyang Tuanjian, came to visit. Li Ruoxue hurriedly wiped away the tears and ordered the maids and servants to remove all the tea that had just received Zhang Ruozhou, and then went to the second gate to welcome Zhang. Zhang saw that Li Ruoxue's eyes were red and swollen, and felt pity. He held her hand and patted her gently sympathetically.

"Chen Chong said that letters at sea are inconvenient. He has notified the marching department. If there is a letter from General Zhao, he will pass it back according to the fastest pigeon book of the royal family. General Zhao has been out all year round, and there are many prodigal children in Luoyang. I am not at ease with my sister! You are in Luoyang with your children. If you have any trouble, just tell me, if someone disturbs Qingjing, you can pass it on. Sister, I can teach them to regret being born in the wrong baby even if I am thousands of miles away."

Zhang Caiwei held Li Ruoxue's hand and smiled and said, from a distance, it seemed as if two women were chatting about home.

She rushed over immediately because she received a secret report from the marching department. She was originally a little angry. When she met Zhang Ruzhou at the gate of Zhao Mansion, she saw Zhang Ruzhou leaving in a hurry like a stray dog, and immediately her favor for Li Ruoxue doubled back. She didn't know the truth, but only said that Li Ruoxue was thin-skinned and could not resist the harassment of these crazy bees and butterflies, so she immediately made a decision. Even if she used the influence of the royal family, she would make these shameless people dare not make this idea again.

Although only a few words were faint, Li Ruoxue was clear and a faint blush appeared on her pale face. Her heart was a little confused. She didn't say anything, but just nodded slightly. The two of them walked slowly in the garden where peonies were blooming.

Zhang Caiwei held Li Ruoxue's arm and whispered while walking: "The State of Guruo was so vigilant that he actually agreed to the State of Song that General Zhao led the Navy to expedition the Dashi Kingdom. In the past few months, Chen Chong has recruited the benevolent and ambitious people of Song Dynasty and often sighed that there was a lack of a person like General Zhao who could take overall control of the overall situation and be virtuous and talented. Unfortunately, the State of Song was in such chaos. If the State of Guruo had persisted, they might have agreed to let General Zhao return to Luoyang and his sister could be reunited. Chen Chong said that when the Navy arrived at the State of Song Dynasty, he would definitely reunite General Zhao and his sister as soon as possible."
