"Showing one's face in public is such a beautiful thing." Liu Zizhu said.

"Yes, that's what Sister Liu said." The other ladies said.

"In my opinion, Miss Liu's remarks are because she does not appreciate the praise from our Lin family, the Queen Mother."

"Yes, the Queen Mother praised her. Could it be that Sister Liu is dissatisfied with the Queen Mother?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? I am not dissatisfied with the Queen Mother." Liu Zizhu said.

"What's all the fuss about here?" Liang Meng asked.

"Mother, Jing Huan heard that the ladies were discussing whether Miss Lin's appearance in public and dancing was a noble thing for everyone," said the Ninth Princess.

"Is it a ladylike thing for a woman to show up in public?" Liang Meng said.

"The Ai family also wants to know the answer? In that case, let's use today's lantern festival to enjoy the lanterns and discuss the answer and give it to the Ai family.

If the man comes up with an answer through discussion, the Aijia will give him a chance to make a request to the Aijia;

Regarding the issue of studying for the Ninth Princess, the Ai family plans to set up a royal academy for Jing Huan. If the woman can discuss the answer, she will be allowed to study with the princess. "Liang Mengdao.

As soon as Liang Meng's words came out, Master Liu, Master Lin, and Master Shen all opened their eyes wide.

"Reading with the princess."

"I didn't expect that the Queen Mother would choose a reading companion for the princess."

"Brother Zheng, Brother Shen, and Brother Zhang, please give the Queen Mother a chance to make a request. Ruhui will not show mercy." Liu Ruhui said with a flamboyant smile.

"Brother Zheng, Brother Liu, Brother Zhang, Lanting Wenmo is really short of money, so I won't compete with you brothers." Shen Lanting said cynically.

"Brother Shen, why is it always like this?" Liu Ruhui said.

"Self-knowledge, self-knowledge." Shen Lanting said wildly.

"A gentleman doesn't force others to make things difficult for them. If Brother Shen doesn't participate, we can't force others to make things difficult for us." Zheng Boying said.

"Then follow Brother Shen." Liu Ruhui said.

"Thank you, Brother Zheng, Brother Liu." Shen Lanting.

Zhang Zheng was quietly sitting in a corner, his warmth made people calm.

"Could it be that the Queen Mother is studying with the Ninth Princess because of me? God, she deserves to be the Queen Mother." Liu Xingzhu was moved in his heart.

Liang Meng felt Liu Xingzhu's bright light and glanced at her exaggerated expression.

It's been a long time since I've seen such a modern look.

Debate begins

"It's not what a lady should do if a woman shows up in public." Someone said.

"Why isn't it?" someone else said.

"This this…"

"This is the etiquette that has been passed down since ancient times." Liu Ruhui said.

"This has been the etiquette since ancient times. Does the woman here refer to all women? If it is all women, why do opera singers exist?" Liu Zizhu said.

Liang Meng felt that Liu Zizhu was very wise and nodded.

"It does not refer to all women, but to women who appear in public. Therefore, women who sing operas are not suitable for everyone." Zheng Boying said.

When Liu Zizhu saw that she was being refuted by Zheng Boying, the person she cared about was speechless for a moment and sat down shyly.

Zheng Baiying also found that the atmosphere was not right and she felt uncomfortable.

"What does it mean to be in the public eye? Does the Queen Mother show her face like this? Is the Queen Mother a lady of the world?" Liu Xingzhu asked.

"This~~" Zheng Boying was dumbfounded.

"What makes you a lady?" Zhang Zheng said.

"He is a person trained by our family who is in line with etiquette." Liu Xingzhu said.

"Those who appear in public but conform to etiquette are not counted, so the Queen Mother is not unbecoming of a lady." Zhang Zheng said politely.

Everyone was shocked into silence by Zhang Zheng's words.

"Brother Zhang, you are mighty," Liu Ruhui said.

"Awesome, awesome." Shen Lanting said.

"I admire you, I admire you." Zheng Baiying said.

The adults nodded.

Master Liu was very proud.

Mr. Lin and Mr. Shen kept their faces calm.

All the ladies showed admiration.

"Mother, what should I do? What should I do if Sister Xingzhu loses?" Jing Huan whispered worriedly.

Liang Meng did not answer, but looked at Liu Xingzhu worriedly, hoping in his heart that Xingzhu would think of who made the attack rules.

"You said it's etiquette for ladies to be ladies?" Liu Xingzhu thought he was sure to win, but this man named Zhang Zheng was able to resolve the issue.

Liang Meng felt relieved when Liu Xingzhu asked this question.

"Exactly." Zhang Zheng said politely.

"Are etiquette determined by people?" Liu Xingzhu asked again.

"Yes." Zhang Zheng said.

"Then since it is decided by people, can it be changed? Does that mean that the etiquette that does not allow women to show up in public has been changed, so that women can show up in public and be the ladies of everyone." Liu Xingzhu said.

"How can this~~ ancestor's law be changed at will?" Zhang Zhengdao.

"What is the ancestral law? There was no official way when the ancestors were here, so do we have to follow the ancestral law and bury the road?" Liu Xingzhu said.

"This...Zhang Zhenggan was defeated." Zhang Zheng said.

Liu Xingzhu looked towards Liang Meng.

"I won, I won, Queen Mother." Liang Meng seemed to say again when she saw Liu Xingzhu's excited expression.

Liang Meng applauded.

Everyone also remembered the applause.

When Liu Zizhu saw Liu Xingzhu's expression and all the young masters' eyes focused on Liu Yuezhu, jealousy showed on their faces.

Shock, jealousy, and disdain were displayed on everyone's faces.

"The Ai family has not heard such an interesting argument for a long time. Anyone who speaks today will be appreciated."

"Thank you, Queen Mother." Everyone saluted.

"No gift, no gift."

Liang Meng beckoned Liu Xingzhu to the stage.

"Even if you win this argument, the Ai family will keep their promise." Liang Meng said calmly.

"Xingzhu, thank you Queen Mother."

"The Queen Mother, Xingzhu has a heart that he wants to dedicate to the Queen Mother." Liu Xingzhu said.

"Dedicate it to the Ai family? Then let the Ai family see what it is?"

Then he saw an extra bell in Liu Xingzhu's hand.

Liu Xingzhu shook the bell, and a boat was seen slowly approaching on the originally calm Jinshui River.

"It's a big bird." the people said.

"It's not a bird, it's just a boat made into a bird shape."

I saw that the boat was in the shape of a bird, with bright lights, like a nirvana phoenix.

There is a pavilion on the back of the bird. The pavilion is surrounded by colorful silks and flower-shaped lanterns, which illuminate the pavilion clearly.

While everyone was observing, Liu Xingzhu shook the bell for the second time, and colorful smoke filled the river. It was really beautiful in the dark night, and there was a faint fragrance in the air.

"Brother Liu, Brother Zheng, Brother Zhang, have you ever smelled the faint fragrance that refreshes your heart and mind?" Shen Lanting said.

"I smell it. It's in the air. It smells very good." Liu Ruhui said.

Zheng Baiying and Zhang Zheng were sniffing the faint fragrance.

Liu Xingzhu shook the bell for the third time. Music was played on the boat, and a woman in the pavilion danced.

Everyone was attracted by this dreamlike scenery and stared intently.

When the woman in the pavilion stretched out her hands and danced out her long sleeves, numerous Kongming lanterns slowly rose from the sea, and the sky in the dark night was instantly decorated, as if the night sky was filled with starlight.

At this time, even Liang Meng, who knew all the procedures, couldn't help but be distracted by such a scene.

Liang Meng quickly looked towards Shen Lanting. Seeing his attracted gaze, Liang Meng was very happy for Yuezhu. The beginning was considered stable, but how they got along later would depend on them.

"Master Liu, why do the Ai family think that the woman on this boat looks like Yuezhu of the Liu family?" Liang Meng said slowly.

The thoughts of all the adults were brought back.

"Master Liu, this is really Miss Yuezhu of the Liu family. Wasn't Miss Yuezhu seriously ill and going to Zhuangzi to recuperate? How could she be here?" Master Lin asked.

"Master Liu, the Ai family has seen that Miss Yuezhu of the Liu family has reached the age of marriage. It's hard for Miss Yuezhu to worry so much about the happiness of the Ai family. The Ai family has already decided on Yue Zhu's marriage." Without waiting for Master Liu, Before he spoke, Liang Meng spoke first.

"The Queen Mother..." Mr. Liu said anxiously.

"Master Liu, don't be anxious. After listening to the Ai family, they are making a decision. The Ai family, a member of the Shen family's Lanting family, thinks that he is a good match for the Liu family's Yuezhu, so the Ai family will take the lead and match them. Master Liu, what do you think, Mr. Shen?" "Liang Mengdao.

Master Liu's mind was spinning rapidly, and he soon figured out the reason.

Looking at Mr. Shen, he saw an uneasy look on his face.

Liang Meng looked at Mr. Liu and saw that his expression was relaxed and no longer tense. She knew that he had figured it out and made a decision.

Then he said: "As for the Empress Dowager, Liu Jia Yuezhu was seriously ill and returned to Zhuangzi to recuperate. However, with the blessing of God, he recovered soon and then he was brought back. Because of his good health and recuperation, I am informing you today. It almost became a misunderstanding. "

"I thank the Queen Mother for your marriage proposal." Mr. Liu knelt down and kowtowed. "I thank the Empress Dowager for the marriage proposal." Seeing that Master Liu did not abandon Liu Yuezhu, Master Shen was relieved and said that being able to marry an official would bring more benefits to him.

After hearing the news about the Queen Mother, Shen Lanting's face was calm, as if he had already expected such an outcome.

Shen Lanting and Liu Yuezhu walked slowly to the stands with calm faces.

"A talented man and a beautiful woman, the Ai family thinks they are a perfect match." Liang Meng said as he looked at the two of them.

Everyone congratulated one after another, and it was a scene of great joy for the guests and the host.

Liang Meng looked at the calm, steady and shrewd Shen Lanting.

Looking at Liu Yuezhu who was also calm, steady and calculating.

The two stood in the stands like strangers.

Liang Meng felt in her heart that marrying blindly and marrying blindly, marrying first and falling in love later may not be fruitless.

Sighing helplessly, only blessings remain.

"Look, it's Tianshi Li's mission boat." Someone among the people shouted.

Then I saw everyone kneeling down and worshiping devoutly.

Liang Meng saw that the Taoist priest on the boat was a clean-looking young man in his 20s.

"So young?" Liang Meng thought that Tianshi Li must be an old man with such a reputation, but he didn't expect that he was actually a young man.

No, wait, Taoist temple, oh my god, how could I forget such important information? Isn’t the refining of elixirs in Taoist temple the predecessor of chemistry?Maybe you can find firearms talents in Taoist temples.

Liang Meng went from being shocked by Li Tianshi's young age to becoming passionate about Li Tianshi.

After the light boat ended, everyone dispersed to play together.

"Mother, please allow Jing Huan to go and play." Jing Huan said coquettishly.

Liang Meng nodded in agreement.

Liu Xingzhu took Jing Huan away.

On a carriage in Jinshui City.

Liang Meng was changing clothes.

"This is much easier, and you can't tell that Ai Jia is the Queen Mother." Liang Meng said.

Liang Meng and Hong Yu dressed up were walking on the street.

Liu Yuezhu, who is about to get married, cannot go out according to wedding customs and must prepare a dowry.

"Miss, do you really plan to let Liu Xingzhu go like this?" Bi Mo said.

Seeing that Liu Zizhu was silent, Bi Mo said: "Let's design Liu Xingzhu carefully so that she can know the difference between direct concubine and concubine."

"Shut up." Liu Zizhu said.

Bi Mo, who thought he had guessed the lady's thoughts, did not expect that his lady would refute him. After a moment of silence, he said: "Miss, I forgive you, Bi Mo knows I was wrong."

“When the fight between us does not involve the interests of the Liu family, no matter how hard we fight, we must stop fighting once it involves the interests of the Liu family.

Now Liu Xingzhu has been chosen by the Queen Mother as his companion. Although I am jealous, I can take over Liu Xingzhu's place as a companion.

If I take action, at least I will beat her up, but at worst I will make the Queen Mother and her father despise her.

What do you think is the use of banging at this point? Liu Zizhu said.

"Miss, I think I'm going to hit her now to prevent her from being disrespectful to you in the future as your companion."

"Continuous beating will make a person afraid of you, so you can control her. If you only hit her a few times, it will only push her to the enemy's camp and arouse her hostility towards me. Do you think so or not?" Liu Zizhu road.

"Miss, I know my mistake, please forgive me," Bi Mo said.

Unexpectedly, he secretly went to the street and overheard the conversation between Liu Zizhu and the maid.

Liang Mengzhen is becoming more and more fond of Liu Zizhu.

"The Liu family's purple bamboo is extraordinary." Liang Meng said.

"Madam, what you said is true. It is indeed different." Hongyu said.

Use reason to completely suppress a person's jealousy and analyze it calmly.

If you are aggressive, the Queen Mother will be disgusted. From the perspective of the interests of the Liu family, a daughter who is valued by the Queen Mother will definitely bring huge benefits to the Liu family. It is not advisable to make the Queen Mother dislike her because of temporary jealousy.

The light beating is indeed as Zizhu analyzed. To deal with the enemy, you can either kill the enemy with one blow, or continuously suppress the ideological level to completely destroy a person.

Otherwise, what we are waiting for is the enemy's counterattack and departure.

Liang Meng admired Liu Zizhu very much.

Liang Meng continued to walk on the street with Hong Yu.

Then he saw Liu Xingzhu, Jing Huan, Zheng Boying and others walking together stopped in front of an acrobat.

"What I have learned is a unique skill passed down from my family. These hands are not afraid of the flames of the frying pan." said the juggling man.

Jing Huan asked curiously: "Really?"

Then I saw the juggling man bringing a hot pan of oil.

When everyone held their breath and waited for what the man would do, the man showed his hands to everyone, and then put his hands into the oil pan without waiting for anyone's reaction.

Jing Huan covered his mouth and exclaimed: "Awesome."

Everyone was shocked.

Liu Xingzhu looked calm.

Shen Lanting smiled contemptuously.

Liu Ruhui was puzzled.

Zhang Zheng remained expressionless, his eyes understanding everything.

Zheng Baiying smiled clearly.

Just as everyone was leaving, the people with the juggler began to hold the plates and said: "Fathers, fellow villagers, brothers and sisters, if you have money, you can support the money show, if you don't have the money, support the personal show."

Everyone put money on the plate.

The plate was placed in front of Jing Huan. When Jing Huan took out the copper coins, Liu Xingzhu stopped him.

"What's wrong with Sister Xingzhu?" Jing Huan asked in confusion.

"That oil pan is fake, so I can't give you money." Liu Xingzhu said.

"Fake?" Jing Huan asked.

Just as the person holding the plate fought back, Zheng Boying placed the copper coins on the plate and led everyone away.

"Hongyu..." Liang Meng saw the people leaving and ordered Hongyu dissatisfied.

After everyone left, Liu Xingzhu said: "Why did you stop me? They are trying to cheat money?"

"Sister Xingzhu, tell me how they cheated money?" Jing Huan asked curiously.

"The oil pan was mixed with vinegar. The vinegar in the hot oil pan is only cooked but the oil is not yet cooked, so the temperature is not high. If you put your hand in, you will be unscathed." Liu Xingzhu said.

"Then they are cheating in front of everyone?" Jing Huan said angrily after being deceived.

"I see, how dare you deceive me in public." Liu Ruhui said angrily after suddenly realizing.

Liu Ruhui looked around at everyone and saw Shen Lanting's gloating smile, Zhang Zheng's calm and caring eyes, and Zheng Baiying's calm and calm face: "Okay, it turns out that Brother Zheng, Brother Shen, and Brother Zhang already knew what was going on."

"If you dare to deceive me, you must be taught a lesson." Liu Ruhui said.

"Ninth Princess, Brother Liu, and Miss Liu Third, calm down, calm down." Shen Lanting said.

"How to calm down people's anger after deceiving them," Liu Ruhui said.

"If you hadn't stopped me, I would have exposed them by now." Liu Xingzhu complained.

"I want to teach them a lesson to see if they will cheat again in the future." Jing Huan raised his clenched fist and said fiercely.

"You three, stop being angry. Destroying people's food is like killing parents." Shen Lanting said.

"Then we just watch them cheat people? Do you agree with using this kind of deceptive business to make money?" Liu Xingzhu said.

"This..." Shen Lanting was speechless.

"Miss Xingzhu, please calm down. If you expose them in public and ruin their meal, they will be resentful and waiting for revenge. Please think twice," Zhang Zhengdao said.

"Jing Huan is the princess of Dai Jin, and Bai Ying is the son of the current Prime Minister. All of them are either rich or noble, with outstanding literary talents. They are the pillars of Dai Jin and are responsible for the future of Dai Jin.

Now I am worried about being retaliated just when I am facing a cheating hawker. Will I be able to protect myself wisely when facing corrupt officials like now? Liu Xingzhu asked everyone.

Zhang Zheng was stunned. He had always been able to deal with everything with ease. At this moment, he was stunned by Liu Xingzhu's question, and he was silent and thinking.

"Miss Liu San is right. We enjoy wealth that ordinary people cannot enjoy, so we should bear responsibilities that ordinary people cannot bear. Zheng should not take everyone away. Please also invite Miss Liu San, Ninth Princess, and Brother Liu Forgive me." Zheng Boying said.

With that said, everyone wanted to go back to where they were.

"Mother, why are you here?" Jing Huan said when he saw Liang Meng, who was dressed in plain clothes.

Everyone reacted and saluted.

"Aijia, please visit me privately incognito, no need to salute."

"The Ai family has punished those who cheated." Liang Meng said.

"Is the Queen Mother real?" Jing Huan asked.

"It's true."

"What Miss Liu San said is exactly what the Ai family thinks. As a princess and an official of Dajin, she enjoys the glory and wealth that ordinary people cannot enjoy. She naturally has to bear responsibilities that ordinary people do not have to bear. If you want to wear the crown, you must bear it. Heavy.

In memory of your first experience, Aijia will not hold anyone else at fault. I hope you will keep this in mind and take this as a warning to avoid making the wrong choice next time. "Liang Mengdao.

"I sincerely follow the Queen Mother's teachings," everyone said.
