Chapter 169 Conditions
Xiahou Hui breathed a sigh of relief. Cao Miao sighed, but this time it was finally in vain.
She looked at Cao Miao and considered whether to take advantage of the situation to make a blacksmith and set the relevant time, or to slow it down so that Cao Miao has time to adapt. Judging from the situation where Cao Miao kept twisting his body, he was very nervous now. If he pressed too tightly, he might be backfiring.
Princess Deyang also had similar concerns, coughed and gave a wink at Xiahou Hui. Although she was a princess and Mrs. Xie was just Cao Zhi's concubine, and the two had different identities, they knew each other since childhood and had the face of the Empress Dowager. As a guest, you should not be too strong.
Xiahou Hui weighed the pros and cons, accepted Princess Deyang's suggestion, relieved, and said a few gossips.
Cao Miao relaxed a little, his eyes were dull, and he thought about it for a while, and suddenly said, "How is she?" Without waiting for Xiahou Hui to answer, he said, "If she is as sinister as her brother, I don't want it."
Xiahou Hui rolled his eyes involuntarily. Sima Shi's appearance was not handsome, at least it was incomparable to Xiahou Xuan, but Cao Miao was also harmful to the description to be sinister.
But for some reason, after Cao Miao said this, Xiahou Hui thought about Sima Shi's appearance and felt that Sima Shi was a bit sinister.
The so-called appearance is born from the heart. Others don’t understand Sima’s character, but she knows it clearly. It is not an exaggeration to describe him by using the word “insidiousness”.
Xiahou Hui suppressed the unpleasantness in his heart and said, "Although my sister-in-law is not a stunning girl, she is also both moral and elegance. She has been studying and polite since she was a child, has a pretty face, and has a long figure, and has a heroic spirit."
"It's just a pretty person." Cao Miao argued: "Yun Gong will marry the daughter of the Zhen family in the future. If my wife is far inferior to the daughter of the Zhen family, wouldn't I be embarrassed?"
Xiahou Hui was also a little embarrassed. She had seen the Zhen family's daughter. Although she was not as beautiful as Empress Wen Zhao, her beauty was considered to be of top quality. Compared with her, Sima Guo was obviously a little far apart. Fortunately, Cao Miao said that she could not be too far behind the Zhen family's daughter. If she wanted to be as beautiful as the Zhen family's daughter, there would be no chance.
Despite this, you have to prepare to go back. You can't be disliked by Cao Miao because of your appearance. If that is the case, it's better not to go on a blind date.
Xiahou Hui thought about it and decided to say in advance. "Preface varies from person to person. Whether you like it or not is related to your preferences. You might as well tell me what you like. If it is suitable, it is naturally easy to say. If it is not suitable, then you will be married to a few beautiful concubines. It is normal for a wife to choose virtue and a concubine to choose color."
Cao Miao glanced at Xiahou Hui sideways and thought to himself that this sounds easy-going, but in fact he is cruel. Anything else can be discussed, but the marriage with Sima cannot be discussed.
"If you are like you, I'm afraid it won't work." Cao Miao turned his head and looked at Xiahou Yan who was leaning against Princess Deyang. "If you are like your younger sister, it would be more than enough."
Xiahou Yan was just listening to Cao Miao and Xiahou Hui's contest, but suddenly heard Cao Miao mention him, and the implication was that he was still praising him for being more beautiful than his sister. He suddenly became shy and turned to hide in Princess Deyang's arms. However, Xiahou Hui couldn't help but roll his eyes. Even though Xiahou Yan was his own sister, she still felt a little uncomfortable when Cao Miao commented in person.
He actually said that I am ugly? Is it because I am older and have given birth to another child?
Taking advantage of the depressed opportunity in Xiahou Hui's heart, Cao Miao continued, "You know my situation, and this life is probably just a rich and idle person, and it is unlikely to be an official. If your sister-in-law marrys me, don't have too high expectations. If you can't, it's better not to cause trouble for yourself, so as not to blame you for saying that you have delayed her life."
Xiahou Hui couldn't help but snorted: "You don't have to worry about this. This is her parents' decision and it has nothing to do with me."
"Okay, I have one last question."
Xiahou Hui bit his teeth lightly, regretting that he responded to this matter, and was also glad that it was finally over. "What's the problem?"
"Is she smart?"
Xiahou Hui raised his eyebrows and looked at Cao Miao without saying anything.
Cao Miao lowered his eyebrows and clenched his nails, his expression wandered. "It's too stupid, I can't speak. It's too smart, I can't do it. It's too smart, she will bully me."
Xiahou Hui was stunned and didn't know what to say for a moment. She looked at Princess Deyang and Mrs. Xie, but saw that they nodded in agreement and agreed. Thinking about it, Cao Miao is not an ordinary person, he is a patient. If he marry a woman who is too smart as his wife, he may be played with by the other party in the future. But if the other party is too stupid, he will not be able to adapt to this kind of life.
No matter what, Cao Miao is a royal family after all, and has a lot of contact. He needs a competent housewife to preside over Cao Miao's housework. If you don't say anything else, you need to be familiar with various etiquettes and not make jokes when you have to attend.
"How to judge whether it is smart or not?" Xiahou Hui was also a little embarrassed. "If I think she is smart, but you think she is stupid, what can you do?"
Princess Deyang and Mrs. Xie also felt it was reasonable. This was indeed not easy to judge. Even Xiahou Yan pricked up his ears and looked at Cao Miao quietly to see if he had any way to solve this problem and determine whether Sima Guo was smart or stupid.
"This is easy to deal with." Cao Miao was confident. "On that day, I asked ten questions in triplicate. In addition to Sima Guo, you and your younger sister also have to answer them. If you are better than your younger sister, it is too smart. If you are worse than you, it is too stupid. If Sima Guo can answer the questions between you and your younger sister, it will meet my requirements."
Xiahou Hui couldn't laugh or cry. She understood that Cao Miao hated her and targeted her everywhere. He just said she was ugly, but now she said she was stupid.
"What if I answered better than my younger sister?" Xiahou Hui couldn't help asking.
"Impossible." Cao Miao tilted his head and thought for a while, and said, "If this is the case, as long as Sima Guo's achievements are between you."
Xiahou Hui laughed and raised his plump hand. "A gentleman's word?"
Cao Miao looked at her, stretched out his palm, looked at it, reluctantly struck Xiahou Hui three times, then quickly took it back, and wiped it constantly with the corner of her clothes, as if it was stained with something dirty. Xiahou Hui was both angry and funny, and his mood became relaxed.
"A Yan, you can't cooperate with him to cheat. If I let me know that you have contacted him privately, no matter what you say, I will not agree."
Xiahou Yan was stunned and then shouted: "Sister, what do you say? Why did I have private contact with him? I just wanted to play with Qingtao." She quickly understood again. "I understand. You are afraid of losing to me and have no shame, right? Then I want to compete with you to let you know that I can beat you openly and not cheat at all."
Xiahou Hui looked at Cao Miao with a smile, looking proud. "That would be better. Then, let him see who is smart and who is stupid."
Cao Miao rolled his eyes, ignored Xiahou Hui, turned around and said to Xiahou Yan, "You like Qingtao so much, why don't you let her stay in your house for a few days? Otherwise, someone would say that we have contacted each other privately and there is a suspicion of fraud."
Xiahou Yan couldn't ask for it, so he applauded.
