Chapter 7 A cute little girl with such clever methods
Looking at Xiao Si's panicked appearance, the pale-faced pageboy smiled and looked down at her bare feet: "Girl, there's no need to be afraid. Are you called Xiao Si?"
Another servant-like figure said: "The young general sent us to fetch you back to your residence."
Xiao Si was overjoyed: "Is it that tenderloin? He actually sent someone to pick me up!"
The pale-faced page corrected: What Li Ji? Our young general's surname is Xu.
Xiao Si thought to himself, "Yes, yes, back then Li Ji was still surnamed Xu. It was later that his father bestowed upon him the surname Li."
The pageboy continued, "Little Fourth Miss is truly fortunate. Although my young general is not from a prestigious family, he has one great advantage: he always makes his own decisions about important matters in life and is not bound by his family."
The attendant said, "Yes, the young general has decided to take the girl in. Just now, the general specifically returned to order us to bring back a barefoot little girl of three or four years old to his residence."
Little Si's cheeks flushed red, and she suddenly danced excitedly, shouting, "Give me a break! Give me a break!! So generous!! Thank goodness, I used all the coins to buy steamed buns!! Thank goodness I didn't buy shoes, otherwise I wouldn't be able to find my nest!!! I knew it!! As soon as I saw Little Si, I knew he was a good guy, and he would definitely take me in!"
The two men exchanged a smile, thinking that this little girl, who looked like a beggar, probably wasn't in very good spirits... But even without the general's permission, she was so adorable that they themselves wanted to take her home and raise her...
Since Xu Shiji took in Xiao Si, she often went out to play, which was much more comfortable than being a little princess in the palace.
Xu Shiji believed that her background must be extraordinary. After she cleaned and dressed up, she looked like a young noble lady who had not yet grown up, but she always said that she was already thirteen years old. Firstly, her appearance did not match, and secondly, girls usually understand social etiquette by the time they reach their teenage years.
Although Xiao Si claims that her parents died early and she has no siblings, this makes people speculate that she may have a hidden background.
Therefore, Xu Shiji began to inquire about her everywhere, but he never got any clues.
Now, Xiao Sizi's infatuation with this young general is even deeper than her love for ice cream cones. She pesters him all the time, watching him practice martial arts and following him to handle affairs.
She firmly believed that the young man was just as delighted with her arrival as she was with the chocolate cake.
As their relationship warmed up, she began to affectionately call him "Brother Pork Tenderloin" because his name contained the character "Ji," and later his father bestowed upon him the surname "Li," which sounded exactly like "pork tenderloin."
She adored this handsome young man. Xiao Si discovered that this young general, known as "Mao Gong" or "Pork Tenderloin Brother," was not only from a wealthy family and a skilled warrior, but also a refined, gentle, and dignified young gentleman!
Isn't this handsome young man the ideal future husband?!
She often heard her father and brother Zhinu mention Uncle Li Ji, such a good man, who now has a 16-year-old boy named Qingchen. It must be the biggest bargain that Xiao Sizi has found so far since she traveled back to ancient times!
Under the careful care of "Brother Pork Tenderloin", Xiao Si's life became like a fairy tale, with sunshine every day and even dark clouds and sandstorms seemed to have to detour.
Little Sizi is currently under the old sycamore tree, bowing repeatedly to the dark energy that arranged her time travel (she doesn't know who arranged it). She's expressing her gratitude, no matter who it is, because she can still live like a child, spoiled and happy farming under the care of this pork tenderloin brother! He'll give you steamed buns and mantou!
Waking up in the morning, she softly called out, "Good morning, little pork tenderloin. When I turn eighteen, will you marry me?"
Whether it was the pork tenderloin brother or the simple-minded man she mentioned, he always responded with politeness and a shy, wary attitude: "I will take care of you like a younger sister, and I will not have any improper thoughts about you, Xiao Si, don't worry, you silly girl."
This answer greatly troubled Xiao Si, who secretly thought to herself, "I hope you have ulterior motives!"
Oh dear, does Brother Pork Tenderloin think that I, this little girl, have ulterior motives?
After dinner, Xiao Si jumped onto a chair and gently draped a cloak over her fiancé, Pork Tenderloin, who was about to go out on business. However, because she used too much force, he instinctively dodged, and she almost lost her balance.
Xu Shiji reacted quickly, grabbing her arm to prevent her from falling: "Why can't you act like a well-bred young lady? You're acting like a naughty boy!"
With a shy and apologetic expression, Xiao Si explained: "Brother Li Ji, I was so worried about you getting cold, so I put this on you." Her innocence was on full display.
Ever since Xiao Si learned that her "future husband" loved military life so much, she was determined to help him.
After all, she was very familiar with the political trends of the early Tang Dynasty—from her grandfather Li Yuan, to her father Li Shimin, to her brother Li Zhi, to her uncle Changsun Wuji… there was no one she was unfamiliar with.
Xiao Si firmly stated that she would not only do her best to help, but would also personally participate in planning her fiancé, Li Ji Ge's, military career.
With the wisdom she gained on the battlefield (through time travel), the illustrious family background she acquired by chance, and her innate outstanding beauty...
Xiao Si confidently said to Xu Shiji, "Don't worry, Brother Liji, I will definitely bring you, my future husband, into the Li family's camp."
Xu Shiji smiled slightly: "Little Si is truly amazing!"
But in his heart he thought: "I'm already serving Li Mi and have joined the Li family's camp, why do I need you to worry about me?"
Little did he know that this Li was the Li of Li Shimin.
Little Sizi, a cute little girl, began to cultivate her talents in the world of power struggles.
Her methods were so sophisticated that even experienced ministers and strategists were full of praise for them.
