The Lius and their daughter were dragged out with their mouths covered. Even though they cried and begged for mercy, they did not receive any sympathy.

The atmosphere of the banquet became a bit low and silent, and no one knew what to say.

Xiong Jianlin picked up the wine bowl and took a sip, and said with a relaxed smile: "Today's experience seems a bit familiar. There was a similar situation when Pingliang was first conquered. It seemed to be a woman from the Duoer tribe? She was so pretty because of her beauty.

If you want to flatter and cling, you don't look in the mirror to see what you are! Fortunately, brother Xi saw through it and executed those spies who had sneaked in, otherwise they would have caused even greater trouble."

Tan Ziqian on the side looked surprised and quickly asked about the situation at that time.

Xiong Jianlin vividly and vividly recounted in detail the story of Gu Qian’s failure to flatter her and was eventually executed by Song Xi, and then said with emotion: “If she can find a legitimate livelihood down-to-earth, or marry an ordinary family in peace, what will happen in the future?

It's all right, and the government won't discover her origins. But this girl is too greedy, always asking for things that don't belong to her, and she brings the consequences to herself."

Tan Ziqian nodded in agreement.

"Wealth and glory should be achieved through one's own talents and efforts. If you have to follow other methods, you will only end up in vain."

Xiong Jianlin felt that he was speaking too vaguely, so he patted his thigh and said bluntly: "That's not true! A good girl should be the wife of the boss who is being married by a famous matchmaker. Why are you staring at that powerful married man every day? Keep your head down and do it.

What's the difference between being a concubine and being a slave? No matter how rich you are, you may not have the life to enjoy it!"

Tan Ziqian was so shocked that he choked and coughed, and silently cast a questioning look.

Why does this statement sound like a woman's sarcasm? It's not easy for a gentleman to make such remarks, right?

Xiong Jianlin gave him a reassuring look indifferently.

Oh, that's what my mother-in-law once said, it doesn't hurt to borrow it and use it.

The two old men performed back and forth, and their loud voices spread throughout most of the banquet hall.

All the guests present understood what they meant, and the expressions on their faces became increasingly unpredictable.

Especially those officials who deliberately cling to him wish they could turn back time before leaving the house. If they had known that the master was an incompetent person who had no regard for beauty, they would not have brought their daughter here to humiliate themselves.

Fortunately, no action has been taken yet, and the idea of ​​​​marriage has been given up in time. There are so many young talents at the celebration banquet, so there should be no problem in choosing someone who is single and unmarried.

Song Xi saw the changes in the expressions of his subordinates, and a smile appeared on his stern face.

"What Uncle Xiong and Uncle Tan said makes sense. If you want to build a successful career and be rich for a long time, you must first strengthen your own abilities. Talented people will not be buried, and incompetent people will not be able to go far. I only choose people based on their abilities.

Nepotism is not a long-term solution.”

As soon as these words came out, all the civil servants and military officers present responded with their voices.

Most people still agree with the lord's approach of knowing people well and assigning them well. After all, they themselves have obtained their high position today by relying on their own abilities.

When Song Xi hires people, he does not care about their status, age or seniority, nor their proximity, but only their ability and character.

The criteria for selection and promotion are fair and impartial, and there is no need to flatter or take advantage of others.

Therefore, everyone does not need to waste their efforts on getting married. Even if you become an in-law of the Song family, you may not get much favor.

This is the reason why all the subjects appreciate and admire their master the most, and it is also the key to Song Xi's ability to recruit countless talents.

Those officials who were planning a marriage have gradually given up their thoughts and are planning to persuade their daughter to choose a better son-in-law after they return. The Lord has already made it clear for this reason. If he doesn't understand the situation, he may offend others and end up in a miserable way.

Seeing this, Song Xi felt relieved, stood up calmly, and walked firmly towards the female guest area.

Ignoring all the looks along the way, he held Yu Yalan's hand amidst everyone's attention, and then led his beloved wife to the center of the high platform.

His deep black eyes looked around at the guests and friends present, and finally fell on his wife tenderly and affectionately.

"I have tasted all the sufferings in the world in my life. I have experienced desperate situations where my family has been destroyed, and I have also faced the danger of being killed by powerful enemies. All kinds of hardships have driven me into hell. It was my wife Yu who saved me from the sea of ​​suffering."

"Three years ago, Song Xi had nothing but blood feud. Everything I have now is built for me by my wife. She is smart, kind, and talented. Even the most beautiful words in the world are not enough to describe her.

of beauty.”

"I once swore to my parents in heaven and earth that I will only love my wife in this life. No matter life or death, I will never betray each other. Nothing can separate us!"

The rich and handsome man clenched the catkins in his hand, his burning eyes shining like stars.

"Lan'er, I want to say thank you. Thank you for never leaving me in desperate situations. Thank you for everything you have done for me over the years. Without you, there would be no Song Xi today, and every inch of the territory I have gained."

It should all belong to you."

Song Xi turned his head and looked at the people in the audience, as if he was making a declaration for his lover, and also seemed to be intimidating Xiao Xiao.

"Since you have become my subordinates, you should understand one important thing. The lord of the northwest is not just Song Xi. Your mistress, the Yu family, is also the master of this land!"

"She did her best to save you from natural disasters and wars, and provided all the support materials free of charge when you needed help. The Song family army can be invincible on the battlefield because of my wife's efforts and support. The people in the northwest can live a life of ample food and clothing.

It also depends on my wife’s wisdom and talent.”

"You should respect her as much as you respect me. This world is very harsh on women, but my wife has been able to bear the pressure and complete the feat of saving the world. If anyone dares to disrespect my wife, Song Xi will not hesitate to kill them!"

The sonorous words were loud and clear, ringing in everyone's hearts like a warning bell.

All the civil and military officers present were shocked and speechless. They had no idea that Song Xi could do this for his wife.

In fact, there are not many men who are infatuated with love, but no one is like Song Xi.

If all his achievements are attributed to his wife, why should his subordinates also take credit for her?

Is this approach too foolish? Could it be that even Marshal Song, a man of literary and military skills, could not escape the difficulty of bewitching his master with beauty?

The officials in Qinxi understood this very well. After all, they had personally seen the Yu family's talents. Most of them were still prisoners of Puppet Dan, and they had always obeyed the advice of the Song family and his wife.
