When Tan Zhao came, he thought to himself: Today, there must be a reason why you are looking for me.

As expected, General Xiao's reaction was abnormal. Seeing him come, he did not say anything else and just hugged the wine jar and sighed. Seeing that Xiao Qian drank a whole jar of wine before snatching the jug from his hand, Qin Zhao narrowed his eyes and said, "The great general didn't call me here just to let me see you drink, did he?"

Xiao Qian sighed, staring at the table full of untouched food in a daze.

"Tsk tsk, I've never seen the general like this before. Could it be that something big is happening at home?"

Xiao Qian coughed lightly as he opened his mouth to speak. He stammered as if he couldn't say anything complete. It was as if there was something he couldn't say.

"I... have an unusual feeling about a woman. "

Tan Zhao finally understood. So it was all for matters of the heart.

That was true. Men wanted women when they drank, and women wanted men when they drank.

No problem!

"Which girl has the general taken a fancy to? "It's so worrying."

Xiao Qian thought for a moment and continued, "It's not that she doesn't want to marry, but seeing that she has a new girl makes me feel uncomfortable."

Tan Zhao narrowed his eyes and unceremoniously teased, "My great general, you were swift and decisive on the battlefield. You were bold and fierce, why did you become so indecisive when you met your beloved girl? If you like it, then come and propose! "

He snatched the jug back and gulped it down. "I'm fine, it's just that Grandmother doesn't agree, and I'm worried that her child isn't happy."

Puff!

Qin Zhao spat out a mouthful of wine, coughing up so much that his face and neck turned red, as tears welled up in his eyes.

"I'll go..." A married woman? This goes against common sense. General, you have to control yourself. "

Xiao Qian calmly nodded. "Yes, I know, but her husband is already dead."

Tan Zhao wiped away his tears before he could catch his breath. "Speaking of which, does the General like charming women? The taste is very unique. "

He winked at Xiao Qian as he joked.

"I... I like her two children. "

"Then do you like her, or do you like her two children? Or do you want to see the child or the woman? "

Xiao Qian paused as he held the wine jug and fell into deep thought.

He kept recalling the time he had spent with Su Zhi. He could not help but feel relaxed and content.

That woman was sometimes silly and could easily cry. Even when she met a big problem, she would panic and not know what to do, thus she needed his help.

However, she had a lot of methods. The key was to cook a good dish.

Xiao Qian's heart thumped wildly as he thought about his two encounters with the hot spring in the back mountain. That woman's body was so soft that it could be held by her waist. He could easily lift her up with one hand.

"General? "General?"

Tan Zhao saw him standing there in a daze, his thoughts drifting away from him. He extended a hand and waved it in front of his eyes.

"Thinking about that little girl?"

Xiao Qian coughed unnaturally as he raised his head to take another sip of the strong wine.

Pausing, he continued, "What do you think I should do now?"

Every time he fought and fought on the battlefield, he would always listen to Xiao Qian's orders. Today, when the sun rose from the west, he was actually asked for his opinion.

"This... "He doesn't have much experience in capturing a woman's heart, but my good-for-nothing younger brother is rather favored by the flower ladies of the world."

Xiao Qian raised his eyebrows and waited for the next part.

Tan Zhao covered his mouth with his hand and laughed, then moved closer. "Firstly, you have to be generous and show your sincerity. It's not good for other girls to not know about it, right? No one is a worm in your stomach. Secondly, if a woman has some face, then you are a man that should act like a tyrannical scoundrel. The third and most important thing was to be caught off guard and pester her until the end. Perhaps liking a man when a woman met him wasn't the kind of love that could be fallen for at first sight. But there are only three things that I can talk about: living well, earning money, and being gentle and considerate. "

As time passed, he gradually got used to a man's goodness and could no longer bear to part with that bit of warmth.

Xiao Qian frowned and said, "Then why are there bandits and landlords who would rather die than submit?"

Tan Zhao took another sip of wine. "I forgot to mention the most important point. It depends on your face."

"Oh."

Xiao Qian unconsciously rubbed his chin as he wondered what his face looked like.

If Tan Zhao knew what he was thinking, he would have rolled his eyes without restraint. Who would have known that the great general of the Xiao Clan was a courageous and warlike man?

If such a character doubted himself, then more than half of the people in the capital would be ashamed.

"You mean, the first step I need to take is to explain it to her?"

Tan Zhao nodded his head. That was for sure. It was the first step to expressing his determination, and the second step was to strive for emotions. The third step was to fiercely seize the bridal room.

Xiao Qian was silent for a while, as if he was making a decision.

From the moment he was born, as the successor of the Xiao family, he only had one mission, and that was to protect his family and country with a sword.

At the age of fourteen, he began his military career. He faced rolling sand and sword shadows, a field of battle that had already sharpened his heart into an indestructible fortress. He had never been so moved by a woman before —

Except for the woman who had sacrificed her life and inspired him to resist the Huns.

However, he could only admire that woman.

It wasn't until Su Zhi appeared that he began to realize that men really needed a woman to accompany them.

'Bang! '

After thinking for a long time, Xiao Qian finally made up his mind. He heavily placed the wine bottle on the table and said, "Ok, I will explain it to her!"

Tan Zhao jumped in shock. He swallowed the strong wine in his mouth with difficulty and reached out to grab him.

"General, cough cough cough."

Xiao Qian ignored him and walked out of the room. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared into the night.

"General, think twice before acting .."

Tan Zhao stared at the empty courtyard, instantly feeling guilty.

He did not encourage the general. He had made the decision himself.

The moon hung high in the sky, the river of stars swayed, and tens of thousands of lanterns were lit.

Spring Leaf Alley had already returned to peace. Su Zhi was boiling water for the two children to wash up.

After some work, Aunt Bai knocked on the door again.

"Xiaosu, did you sleep?"

"Aunt, not yet."

Su Zhi carried the two children to bed and hurried to open the door.

"It's so late. What's the matter, Aunt?"

Aunt Bai didn't go in and looked around to see that there was no one around, so she pulled Su Zhi's hand and grinned, "Xiaosu, that nephew of the Liu family is very satisfied with you. They say that you are demure, gentle, dignified and elegant, and that you are the one who manages the family. "

Su Zhi shyly lowered her head and said, "Brother Liu is flattering me. I really can't take it."

"I see, that child is also very tolerant. He won't treat you two unfairly, and he won't be wronged if he marries you. That depends on what you think. "

Su Zhi now understood that Aunt Bai was here to scout things out.
