The Possession of My Beloved

    Beside the handsome man, someone hesitantly said: "Master, that...isn't that Miss Liu? Do you want a servant to call her back?"

      Why do I have to drag her to live such a life of intrigue? Go and find out where she lives now and how she is doing..."

    After he finished instructing the servants, his eyes fell on the white and bright jade chessboard, after watching for a while, he said to the shopkeeper: "This chessboard, put it here, next time that girl If you come again, you will sell it to her at a low price..."

      How to price it?"

    The man's handsome face revealed a meaningful wry smile: "Although she seems to like this jade chessboard, but if she knew that I gave it, I'm afraid she would not want it..."

    And the young man took out a half-old orchid purse from his arms and gently rubbed the pattern on it with his fingers. That unique style is exactly the same as the purse hanging on Cui Xingzhou's body.

    He slowly raised the purse to his mouth, sniffed the faint fragrance of the orchid inside, and closed his eyes tightly in pain—"Miantang, you hate me in your heart, so you refuse to meet See?"

    But Miantang didn't know that someone was calling her name in pain.

    Because of the pain on her body, when she came out of the jade shop, she was too tired, so she led Mama Li and the others back to the inn to rest first.

    Mother Li ordered a pot of hot water from the kitchen, and put a hot veil on Miantang's injured hands and feet.

    Miantang likes this moment the most, she just pulls up her trousers and lies on the bed with a warm compress. When the warm handkerchief was applied, he closed his big eyes comfortably, and his eyelashes trembled.

    But she had something in her heart, so she asked worriedly: "When will the official come? If he arrives late and the garden party is over, he will come to Qingzhou for nothing!"

    Mother Li was accustomed to Miantang's troublesome temperament, and while throwing the handkerchief, she said: "The owner said that you can come over in two days, so you can play with peace of mind, he asked Moru to give it to the garden. The steward of the venue handed me a favor, if you are watching the Bangzi show, you will be prepared for a front row seat, and there will be fragrant tea and fruit to eat at that time."

    Mian Tang was delighted to hear it, but worried that the lascivious Shi Zongbing would go to the garden party and it would be bad if she showed up and caused trouble for her husband.

    But Li's mother didn't pay much attention to it and said: "I heard that the general soldier of Sunshi will have a banquet with the King of Huaiyang in the restaurant, and the people who can go are the noble families of the two houses, how can there be such a spare time to go to the street? Dangling. Besides, as a general soldier, his actions will not be as absurd as the lady thinks. The official entrusts someone to speak on his behalf, and you can rest assured to enjoy tomorrow. "

    Mian Tang felt relieved after hearing what Li's mother said. The officials were very thoughtful and thoughtful. His homework in the chess hall is so tight, and he has to worry about his own schedule... It really makes people happy again.

    In addition to being overjoyed, Miantang thought of the chessboard that she couldn't afford for the time being, and she couldn't help but feel a little disappointed in her heart - she didn't know when she would be able to earn enough silver taels to buy a chessboard...

    So early the next morning, Miantang finished her grooming, and when she was ready to go out, she made a special detour to the jade shop, still wanting to take a look at the chessboard.

    Unexpectedly, just as she stood on the shelf where the chessboard was placed, the shopkeeper came to greet her with joy: "Madam, you came here yesterday, right?"

    Liu Miantang smiled and nodded, listening to the shopkeeper: "Looks like you really like this chessboard... just a coincidence! The owner who decided on this chessboard has high eyes, and dislikes the chessboard's inappropriateness. It's exquisite and flawed, so I'd rather give up the deposit instead of it. I'm worrying about leaving the house. If you don't dislike it, how about I sell you at a low price?"

    Mian Tang listened to his words and looked at the chessboard in wonder, but did not find any inappropriate flaws. It's just that the shopkeeper said yesterday that the price was more than one hundred taels. Even if he gave half a discount, she couldn't afford it!

    But she didn't give up and asked, "How cheap is it?"

    The shopkeeper looked into her eyes and said, "Twenty taels?"

    But as soon as he finished speaking, seeing Miantang turning around and wanting to leave, the shopkeeper hurriedly changed his words: "Five taels! If you can afford five taels, I'll sell it!"

    …

    When Miantang brought Mama Li with satisfaction and came out of the jade shop with a neatly bandaged chessboard, she also said with emotion: "It is said that gold, silver and jade shops are profitable, I didn't believe it at first, Only now can I see it. The chessboard, which is obviously worth three taels, can actually be sold for a hundred taels! It must not be a good material, but I don’t know what method I used to make it so transparent! The guest who wants to come is the last. Wake up, so I would rather not make a payment or break the contract. I wonder how many times he has been tricked by this unscrupulous businessman?"

    Miantang doesn't care about the authenticity of the jade material, she just wants to look good anyway. Husband is not a prince, and naturally he will not pay attention to real jade and fake jade.

    But Mama Li was nurtured in the wealth of the palace. Naturally, at a glance, you can recognize that the chessboard is a good suet jade.

    It is a chessboard worth a hundred taels, but the shopkeeper would rather sell it to Miantang at a low price.

    Reminiscing that she came out of the jade shop yesterday, and the undercover detective found that two men in Tsing Yi were following all the way. Mama Li expected that if this beautiful lady hadn't provoked some wild bees and butterflies, then... It was this lady Liu's old friend who came to look for it!

    To be able to write such a heroic hand, but to send it euphemistically, except for Lu Wen, who doesn't think about it!

    Thinking of this, Hu naturally did not dare to delay, and only signaled the secret guard to rush to deliver the letter to the prince.

    At this time, King Huaiyang was socializing with Shi Yikuan in the largest restaurant in Qingzhou.

    Shi Yikuan is a famous fisherman, and is proud of his apprenticeship with Mr. Qingzhu, a famous painter and calligrapher. This year is the 15th anniversary of my apprenticeship. I should remind the world of my identity as a successor of calligraphy and painting, so I invited everyone from the famous Jiangnan calligraphy and painting to gather together to discuss whether there is any.

    However, what surprised him was that King Huaiyang, who had always been busy with his affairs, actually condescended and came to join in the fun.

    I think it's because of his recent move to make peace that this prince feels uncomfortable.

    To make King Huaiyang uncomfortable is to make today's Long Live happy. Shi Yikuan felt that he had made a brilliant move in this chess game, and his smile when he looked at King Huaiyang became even more attentive.

     "King Huaiyang, your cursive calligraphy is famous all over the world. This time at the calligraphy and painting conference, you will have a lot of ink, so that your colleagues can have a feast for the eyes!"

    After saying this, the officials who accompanied him nodded frequently.

    Cui Xingzhou had a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, just raised the wine glass in his hand.

    Although decent etiquette was maintained, it was not warm, which made the wine situation a little cold and embarrassing.

    Shi Yikuan, as the master, is not good at being silent, so after being silent for a while in the restaurant, he moved to Zhao Quan, the Marquis of Zhennan beside Cui Xingzhou, and said, "I don't know if the Marquis of Zhennan can bring What new calligraphy and painting?"

    Zhao Quan's name of Bole is also well-known far and near, and parties like this can always bring something fresh.

    When Zhao Quan was asked this by Shi Yikuan, he was invigorated.

    Mr. Chen's painting skills are superb, and he really shouldn't be buried, so even if he has become a painter in a porcelain shop, he must save it.

    What's more, he knew that Mrs. Liu also wanted to do everything possible to make the shop prosperous, and he was happy to help her.

    So I heard Shi Yikuan ask, and quickly said: "I really want to recommend a strange man with you this time, this man is exquisite in painting, but now he is dormant in a porcelain shop, wait until this time. After the calligraphy and painting meeting, the day of the blockbuster is just around the corner. There are not many color plates that he painted by himself, and the price will definitely rise after he comes. Ah! By the way, the porcelain shop is called 'Jade Burning Porcelain Workshop'. If you have discerning eyes and talents, you should buy them early enter…"

    Those who are familiar with Zhao Quan's temperament couldn't help joking: "Could it be that Mr. Hou is involved in that porcelain shop? You have always been lofty and don't stick to common affairs, why are you so hard now? ?"

    Cui Xingzhou listened calmly, still saying nothing.

    The world knows that he is the main war faction, and Shi Yikuan is now acting in the vein of the emperor. As long as the rebellion and turmoil are subsided, there will be no need for the troops to be stationed in Zhenzhou. Wanzai wanted to lose the wings of a different surnamed Wang, and had been planning for a long time.

    Listen to what they mean, the anti-thief admires Mr. Shi's generosity, and takes the initiative to deliver the letter of surrender, and that Lu Wen is actually from a good background. In addition to defecting, they also intend to marry a daughter of Shi Zongbing's concubine.

    And Long Live left a message with Mr. Shi early in the morning, in order to set a model for the rebels who are willing to change their ways. Long live will greatly praise Lu Wen who has defected.

     Zhao Quan was the first to change his face when he heard that Lu Wen admired Shi Zongbing's daughter.

    I didn't expect Mrs. Liu's previous man to be so ruthless! First, he left Liu Miantang, who was seriously injured, and now he doesn't hold the pipa. He wants to marry the daughter of the official family and become an official and a noble! If Lady Liu regained her memory, she would not be sad because of the old man's unkindness.

    But thinking about it, Mrs. Liu will not have any friendship with the thief. After all, she was a good family who followed Lu Wen willingly!

    And he must make up for Miantang's suffering in the future, and will never let her cry again...

    Cui Xingzhou felt that Lu Wen's actions were within his expectations. Liu Miantang was indeed an abandoned child who was deliberately left out by the thief Lu Wen. If it's true that Lu Wen can't be brought out, she is probably useless, and the house on North Street can almost be evacuated.

    For a while, the two friends were silent.

    At this moment, Cui Xingzhou's secret whistle entered the restaurant, and he lowered his head and whispered in a low voice behind Cui Xingzhou.

    Cui Xingzhou listened calmly, but his eyes brightened.

    That fish... finally caught the bait! Moreover, he made an extraordinary move, actually giving away the chessboard of a hundred taels to Liu Miantang, which was like a free gift.

    If it is really Lu Wen, it can be seen that he still has no lingering affection for the beautiful Miantang, and has a heart that is broken. This move seems to be useful.

    Thinking of this, he no longer wanted to accompany the officials who were full of ditches and ditches to drink. He just excused his inability to drink, so he went downstairs.

    Instead of socializing with these bureaucrats in the restaurant, it is better to go to the garden party and follow Lady Liu for a walk, to see if the thief can hold back and hold back.
