surnamed Wang

In the garden of Liu Mansion, the woman who had an accident last night was sitting in the gazebo. Several kinds of exquisite pastries were placed on the table in front of her, and she turned her head to look at the entrance from time to time, as if she was waiting for someone.

It was the cherry blossom season, and a petal was mixed into the tea. The woman casually took a sip from the teacup and didn't notice anything wrong. The maid who came with her saw that the master was out of her mind, and said with a smile:

"Miss, are you waiting for Mr. Liu or Mr. Wang?"

He Lan turned her head when she heard the words, showing a bright smile, then scratched the itchy flesh of the servant girl she grew up with, pretending to be sullen and said:

"Thank you for saying so, you didn't even know I was kidnapped yesterday?"

The servant girl couldn't bear this the most, and repeatedly begged for mercy:

"Miss, this servant realizes my mistake. From now on, I will stand by the bed and watch over you when you sleep, even if there are wedding candles in the bridal chamber."

He Lan, who should have been even more angry, suddenly stopped what he was doing, and said with a serious expression:

"Xiao Ning, you and I can make any noise, but you can't talk nonsense in front of Second Young Master Liu."

"Oh."

The servant girl responded, knowing that the master was doing it for her own good, and asked in a low voice:
"Miss, do you really like Second Young Master Liu?"

"Why do you ask that?"

"I always feel that you are very restrained when you are with him, which is different from usual, as if..."

When the maid said this, she hesitated, He Lan guessed what she was thinking, and continued:
"A little afraid of him?"

The maid nodded cautiously and continued:

"Xiao Ning thinks that a husband and wife should be the closest people in the world. Even if they can't spend their lives together and imitate Zhang Chang's thrush, they should respect each other like a master and his wife. They should never be afraid. If they live like this for a lifetime, it would be too I'm sorry."

The woman smiled slightly and said:

"Since ancient times, the husband has been the guide for the wife, and women have three obediences and four virtues. There is nothing wrong with being afraid of your husband. You are also afraid of the master and wife. Don't you feel wronged?"

The maid smiled and said:

"Master and Madam give me wages, if I am wronged, I will feel wronged."

He Lan smiled, looked towards the entrance of the courtyard again, and couldn't help thinking about the maid's words in her heart.

As the ambassador of the Banknote Bureau, his father was an official of the ninth grade, and he was inferior to others in the capital full of dignitaries. If he could marry into the Liu family, he would be regarded as a high climber, not to mention that the second son Liu was willing to give him the position of a regular wife.

She can't remember what happened yesterday, she only knows that someone saved her in a crisis, and when she wakes up again, she is already lying on her bed the next morning.

Parents came to ask a lot of questions, and He Lan knew what they were worried about, and made it clear that she had not lost her innocence.

The Liu family is the highest branch that the He family can climb. If he is tarnished, the Liu family will definitely withdraw the engagement without hesitation, and his father's efforts over the years will be in vain.

……

Just thinking about it, a figure appeared in the direction of the entrance of the courtyard, holding a folding fan from far to near, it was Liu Baoqing, the second son of Liu.

Seeing the woman, the young man subconsciously showed a refined smile, and He Lan also smiled sweetly, as if he had been waiting for her for a long time.

"Thank you." The woman didn't immediately ask about the result of the matter, but took a handkerchief and gently wiped the sweat from the other party's forehead.

Liu Baoqing came to sit down at the table, and said in a gentle voice:

"The matter has been settled. Song Ke will send the man over in the afternoon. The man has suffered a lot. It is estimated that he will not be able to go to the ground in ten days and a half months. Let him rest with me for a while. There are all kinds of supplements in the house." .”

"This is too much trouble for you."

"What's the trouble? It's not a trouble. He saved you, it's like giving me a big favor. What's a little thing?"

The young man said, took a sip from the teacup on the table, and continued:

"According to those present, this person is very skilled, and more than a dozen officials can't get close to him easily. I think after he recovers, he will be hired at a high price to be a guard, so that you can feel at ease when you go out."

The woman didn't shirk, and asked, "Surely I owe you a lot of favors this time?"

"It's nothing, just a Yuanwailang."

"Really intend to support Song Ke? I heard that he has stayed in the Ministry of Criminal Justice all these years, except for torture methods and smooth officialdom, he has no other skills at all."

Liu Baoqing said with a smile:
"Isn't Liu Muqing also in the Ministry of Industry for more than ten years without a name, and later promoted to the Ministry of Officials, soaring all the way up, even the previous Patriarch was blinded."

After the man finished speaking, he seemed to be hungry. He directly picked up an osmanthus cake and stuffed it into his mouth. He took another sip of tea and went on.
"I've already given Song Ke the backing. If he has the ability to be the second Liu Muqing, that would be great. If he is short-sighted and only focuses on the petty profits of the household department, he has the right to raise a useless dog. Anyway, the Liu family has cultivated a lot of copycats over the years, and he is not bad."

When the woman heard this bold remark, she subconsciously looked around, but the other party waved her hand and said indifferently:

"Don't worry, I dare to say this even in front of the head of the family. The wealth obtained by one person can only last for three generations. If you don't hesitate to squander it, you won't be able to last even one generation.

The dynasty lasted nearly 700 years, and there are countless wise emperors and ministers. Among them, the ones I admire most are the Shun Emperor 600 years ago and the Empress 300 years ago. Do you know why? "

He Lan thought for a moment, then said:

"One brought the dynasty to its apex, and the other was ordered to become the master of ZTE. They both brought prosperity for more than a hundred years."

The man nodded and said:

"Not only that, but also their methods, which are decisive but not reckless. They have planned for many years in advance, and their actions are thunderous. They wiped out the old officials in the court, and solved the corruption of officials from the root cause.

On this point, Emperor Shun did a more thorough job. He established the Qing Wen Pavilion, recruited poor scholars, and strictly censored them to avoid the secretive actions of the rich. Presumably, during that time, many people from the rich and powerful in the capital could not sleep. "

Speaking of this, the man smiled, and the woman couldn't help joking:
"Unexpectedly, you, a young master from a famous family, would hate the nepotism in the court so much?"

"When I read too much, I can't help being cynical like a scholar. I scold the cook when I'm full. It seems that I'm not a gentleman."

The man laughed at himself, ate a few more cakes, clapped his hands and got up and said:

"I still have to report to the Patriarch about Song Ke, it's up to you."

The woman nodded and watched the other party leave.

Liu Baoqing walked a long way, looked back at the woman in the pavilion, his eyes were warm, he took a fancy to her not because of her good looks, but because of her knowledge.

What he wants to get a wife is to be able to echo a few words from the side when he complains, and help analyze the situation, instead of just burying his head in daily necessities.

The other party may have intentionally or unintentionally shown humbleness in front of him because of his birth, but in fact it is unnecessary, because in his original era, women had a new set of three obediences and four virtues...

In the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, Wang Yijing had a dream.

In the dream, he was wearing a black costume with dragon patterns embroidered with gold thread. When he raised his hand, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth gathered together, and everyone below worshiped.

With a flick of his sleeves, the entire Star Territory was shaken. The young man was full of ambition, and sat down on the throne next to him. The next thing happened, he felt severe pain. He looked down and saw that this was not a dragon chair, it was clearly a dragon chair. Hot iron plate.

He opened his eyes with a yell, and found himself lying on a soft bed, the hot feeling on his buttocks was still there, and when he turned his head, a woman covered with a veil was carefully applying medicine to him.
