Chapter 75 Three Aunt's Good Expectations

Nie is a smart man and has twenty years more experience than Xiao Bi. There are endless ways to deal with her.

The initial method didn't work, and she soon came up with a new idea.

Xiaojiu doesn't think of herself as a girl. Even if others praise Huan Yu, she won't be tempted.

Treating diseases requires prescribing the right medicine, and the same goes for persuading people.

If you want to achieve your goal, you have to figure out what the other party expects and cares about most, and then take action.

Nie made up her mind and deliberately complained: "You run around all day without getting home, so you are so unwilling to spend more time with your third aunt?"

"No way..." Xiao Bi held her arm: "Third Aunt, please don't accuse me wrongly. I have loved listening to you since I was a child."

Mr. Nie put his arms around her shoulders and said, "Xiaojiu is the only one in our family who has a sweet mouth, and is much better than your brothers."

Xiao Bi felt like she had goose bumps.

Among the many elders in the Duke's mansion, the third aunt has the strictest requirements for their brothers and sisters.

It is not easy to hear a compliment from her on weekdays.

Today is so abnormal, and it's not all because of her.

Nie continued: "Xiaojiu has been practicing martial arts since he was a child. At first, the whole family just followed your mother's instructions, hoping that you could strengthen your body through martial arts practice, and preferably have some ability to protect yourself.

No one, including your grandfather, thinks you can achieve results through practice.

Who would have thought that you have such great talent and are willing to work hard, so that at such a young age you would hardly meet an opponent."

Xiao Bi muttered: "Third Aunt, you've been praising me for a long time, so hurry up and get to the point."

Mr. Nie was amused by her again: "His son has a short temper and has no patience at all!

I just want to ask, if you have studied and practiced hard for so many years, wouldn’t you feel regretful if you stayed in Beijing as the captain of the Qilin Guard for the rest of your life?”

Xiao Bi said: "The captaincy of the Qilin Guard is only temporary. I will lead troops to fight in the future and defend the territory of the Wei Dynasty."

Nie looked at her with interest: "The idea is very good and very admirable, but have you ever thought about how to implement it?

The Wei Dynasty was not as strict with women as other countries, but that was limited to life.

In the more than 100 years since the founding of the People's Republic of China, no woman has ever served as an official in the court, let alone led troops to fight and guard the borders.

It is true that His Majesty loves you, but he may not be able to set this precedent for you."

Xiao Bi said: "I asked my brother-in-law several times, and he agreed very simply every time."

"What a silly child!" Mrs. Nie patted her again: "Do you really believe that His Majesty is so eloquent? He is just playing with you.

If he really asked you to lead troops to fight and guard the border, those censors and officials would be crazy!

Your Majesty has no shortage of generals, why does he need to cause so much trouble for you?"

Xiao Bi curled her lips and said: "I don't ask for high-ranking officials or generous salaries. At worst, I don't want even a single soldier from the imperial court.

As long as the three thousand cavalry are well trained, I can take them to the battlefield at any time.

As for those censors and officials, who cares what they are talking about?!"

Nie said: "Your Majesty can't control you, but what about your grandfather and other elders in the house?

If you don't leave the cabinet, you will have to be restrained by your elders.

If you don't get our permission, where can you go?"

The corners of Xiao Bi's mouth immediately drooped.

She never cared about rules. The Duke's mansion was so big that it was not easy to escape.

The elders' methods of restraining her were nothing more than the same old methods.

The cavalry was paid with money and could not get a dowry. She and the three thousand cavalry had starved to death before they even arrived at the battlefield.

A smile flashed across Nie's eyes, and she said earnestly: "Xiaojiu, if the third aunt was still just now, you would have to get married in this life, right?

After you get married, you can control your dowry as you wish, and the elders in the family have nothing to do with you, right?

Also, if you are unwilling to get married, there will always be people talking in your ears about choosing a son-in-law.

Seven aunts and eight aunts, regardless of time or occasion, they can talk to your ears and make you unable to live, do you believe it?"

Of course Xiao Bi believed it.

If you have never eaten pork, have you never seen a pig running?

There were only one or two noble girls in the capital who were unmarried when they reached their age. Life was really difficult for them.

Nie seized the opportunity and said: "The Huan family is far away in Tianshui County, and like our Xiao family, they are all military generals.

You and Mr. Huan have the same interests, so he will definitely not object to your training of cavalry, nor will he object to your going to the battlefield.

Xiaojiu, don't blame your third aunt for not reminding you that if you marry someone else, your three thousand cavalry might not even be able to find a place to rest, let alone train?

Girls will have a lot of troubles after they get married, you'd better think about it clearly."

Xiao Bi lowered her head and thought for a while.

Although she knew that the third aunt had "impure motives", she had to admit that she was really moved.

Tianshui County is so far away from the capital, so no one can control her.

There is essentially no difference between fighting the Beirong people in Yanmen County and fighting the Liuyun people in Tianshui County. They are both defending the territory of the Wei Dynasty and protecting the people of the Wei Dynasty.

After weighing the pros and cons, she quickly made a decision.

She will go find Brother Huan later.

As long as he didn't object, she would immediately ask her brother-in-law for marriage.

If he doesn't want to...

Xiao Bi gritted his teeth.

In order to live a comfortable life, she was selfish and married to the Huan family first.

As for what will happen in the future, Brother Huan is so smart that he will always come up with a solution.

Besides, since he is a man, is it possible that he is still at a disadvantage?

Nie couldn't guess what she was thinking specifically, but he could tell at a glance that she was moved.

Of course she didn't have to force Xiaojiu to marry Huan Yu, but she really thought the boy was good.

At least Xiao Wu had told her more than once that there was no one in the world more suitable to be Xiao Jiu's husband than Huan Yu.

The mother knows best what kind of person her son is.

There are countless young men in Dawei, but there are not many that Xiao Wu can take a liking to, and even fewer that he can turn into his confidant.

And the only person he could choose to be his sister-in-law was Huan Yu.

"Xiaojiu, what Third Auntie said to you is from the bottom of my heart, but you still have to make the big decisions yourself.

Young Master Huan's biological mother died young. To grow up to be as outstanding as he is now, he has endured many hardships and suffered many grievances.

As you just said, you are good friends and brothers, and you must help him when you can, after all, he is the great benefactor of our Xiao family."

Speaking of which, Mr. Nie felt that he had really tried his best.

Xiaojiu is a child who knows how to repay kindness and is eager to repay his kindness. Once she really marries Huan Yu, she will definitely try her best to help him.

The two children have always gotten along very well, and if they experience something together, they will definitely develop a deep relationship.

As a person who has experienced this, Mrs. Nie knows very well the beauty of loving each other between husband and wife.
