husband and wife

Chapter 254

"Wu Da." Aunt An glanced at him, "You don't go outside to guard the gate, what are you doing here?"

"A guest came to the door just now, and after holding the master's copybook, the younger one welcomed the distinguished guest to the housekeeper."

Aunt An's eyes flashed: "Who is the guest?"

Wu Da paused, but he still didn't make up his mind whether to say it or not. Although Aunt An was a celebrity in front of Madam, she was a distinguished guest who held the master's handwritten copybook after all.

Seeing Wu Da's hesitation, Aunt An was not annoyed. She just changed her expression and called Wu Da to her in a rather mysterious way, whispering: "Two days ago, the master told his wife that he invited the number one scholar of the Song Dynasty—that is, Now the editor-in-chief Song of the Imperial Academy is here as a guest. I usually hear people say that the number one scholar is handsome and even more handsome than this time, but I have never seen him. This time I must seize the opportunity to meet him. If you see him The number one scholar of the Song Dynasty comes to our house, remember to tell me."

Wu Da laughed and said, "To tell you the truth, Auntie, the honored guest sent in just now is Song Bianzhuan."

"That's a good thing. It just so happens that my wife sent me to answer the master, maybe I can take a look at it by the way."

"Auntie, let's go quickly. Editor Song is very personable. It's a pity that we don't see each other."

Aunt An bid farewell to Wu Da, walked a few steps towards Liu Shilang's study, then turned around and hurried back, panting slightly, came to Madam Liu and reported: "Ma'am, I just met Wu Da on the road. He said that Editor Song came to visit the master today, and he still has a copybook written by the master in his hand."

Mrs. Liu suddenly stood up: "There has been no movement for so many days, why did he suddenly come to find the master again!"

"I don't know." Aunt An shook her head, thought for a while and said, "Perhaps Editor Song saw that Madam's token was sent along with the congratulatory gift from the master, so he thought it was all from the master?"

"But I haven't talked to the master about this matter yet. How can he agree to this matter when he hears it so suddenly!" Mrs. Liu suddenly felt a sudden pain in her temple, and she couldn't care so much at this moment, so she put it on Aunt An's hand, "and I'm going to see my master."

Mrs. Liu hurried to Mrs. Liu's study with her maid and mother-in-law. For the first time, she felt that it was not good for her to be too big, and it was too troublesome to travel.

On the other side, Song Ziheng was also unambiguous. After exchanging a few words with Liu Shilang, he went straight to the topic, took the box from Daniel, and gave it to Liu Shilang with both hands: "My lord loves you so much, Ziheng is very grateful, but I saw you at home congratulating me There is such a thing in the book, I really can't figure out what it means, I hope you can explain it."

Liu Shilang is not young, but he has an elegant demeanor, clear eyebrows, clear eyes, neither arrogance nor impetuosity, no wonder the whole court has a good reputation for Liu Shilang, he is a gentleman at first glance.Liu Shilang calmly took the box from Song Ziheng's hand, opened it but frowned, thought for a moment and said, "To be honest, I don't have much impression..." Then he called the servant to call the housekeeper over.

The housekeeper came over to take a look, and then said: "The box was added by Mrs. Zheng at the order of the wife. The lady acted properly, so the old slave didn't take a look..." Opening the box and seeing a piece of thin bamboo inside, he was also taken aback. He hesitated, "Perhaps Mrs. Zheng made a mistake? This old slave called someone over..."

Song Ziheng smiled: "If you make a mistake, it's fine. I'm just afraid that I will be dull and unable to understand the meaning of adults."

Liu Shilang glanced at Song Ziheng with a smile on his face, before he was about to speak, suddenly there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and Aunt An's voice sounded immediately: "Master, madam has something important to discuss."

Liu Shilang glanced at the housekeeper, the housekeeper understood, opened the door and went out and said: "I have seen Madam, the master is busy now, I will go to Madam in person later, I hope Madam will forgive me."

Mrs. Liu frowned and knocked inside, then lowered her voice and said, "Do you know what the Song editor wants to do with the master?"

But the housekeeper just bowed down respectfully and said: "I don't know, why don't Madam ask the master personally later?"

Mrs. Liu frowned and looked at the butler for a while, and was about to say something, but Aunt An pulled her indiscriminately, and said in a low voice, "Why don't we just wait in the next room?"

Mrs. Liu nodded in silence for a moment, and the steward personally sent them there, settled down, and then said courteously: "Madam, wait a moment, the old slave will report to you as soon as the master finishes his work."

Mrs. Liu waved her hand, there was nothing she could do about this housekeeper who always cared for her but only listened to the master's orders.The butler smiled, turned around and went out, the smile on his face disappeared immediately, frowning, he called the boy outside the study door, whispered something in his ear, the boy nodded, and went away.
