The Possession of My Beloved

     After reading the letter, Miantang sniffed the fragrance of flowers on the letter for a while, and for a while there seemed to be bees buzzing in her ears.

    The man is also sick. Since it is full of bees, why should he wash it? He said that he was stung by bees several times, and he didn't know if it was serious or not...

    When Miantang noticed that the corners of her mouth were inadvertently raised, she shuddered, and quickly put away her smile, then slowly got up and put the letter in the warm stove to burn.

    However, she had already pinched the air-dried Fengyao flower on the stove, and after thinking about it, she still put it in a book she read every day. The fragrance of the flowers is so striking that the pages of the book can be smoked more fragrant.

    She got up a little late, so her breakfast was not right or wrong. In addition to a small casserole of rice porridge, there is also a plate of rouge goose liver. It seems that in the end, Fan Hu still managed to stuff Xue Yan into the back kitchen of Lu Mansion.

    Miantang didn't want to eat it, but she thought that she couldn't waste the ingredients, so she finally picked up a chopstick, but when she ate it, she didn't remember the sweet taste.

    After hurriedly drinking a bowl of porridge, she went to check the account.

    Mian Tang looked at the second aunt's red face, as if she had been frozen in the garden for a long time.

    But the second aunt said it was "coincidence", so she couldn't ask if the second aunt was waiting for her here early in the morning.

    The road to the accountant is not too long, but Mr. Quan seems to have endless questions. First, he asked Miantang what he was doing in the cashier this time.

    Miantang avoided the important and only said to help his grandfather to look at the expenditure accounts for the veterans of the **** agency over the past few years, and to comb for him.

    Following, Mrs. Quan implicitly asked Miantang what kind of husband she was looking for. She has a distant nephew, the family is fairly well-off, and she is honest and reliable, but the first wife died first, so he doesn't mind whether it is the girl's family who continues the string. It's just that she hasn't found the one she likes. If Miantang is interested, she can mention it to her father-in-law.

    When Mian Tang heard this, she turned to look at the second aunt.

    Chen Shi is also looking at her with a smile, but that look seems to have no deep meaning. Miantang didn't mind that the second aunt found out that she and someone in the northwest had become a former husband and wife, but it was a bit ridiculous that the second aunt took this to herself.

    So, she couldn't help laughing: "Thank you second aunt for thinking about me and choosing such a suitable one for me. But I really don't want to get married too early... I'm in the accountant. , I went to check the account, and the second aunt did it herself..."

    After she finished speaking, she stepped into the back room of the account room. The account book was already placed on the small table in the back room, and she was waiting for Miantang to read it.

      She had a good talk with this girl, and the dead girl picked it up!

    And he is obviously the head of the second house, but now the father-in-law has said that the expenses outside the house are handed over to Miantang, what kind of thing is this!

    The most terrible thing is that when I went to the temple yesterday to offer incense, Mrs. Shen from the big room also went there later. That Mrs. Su was inquiring about Liu Miantang with the Shen shi, but she made the Quan shi feel annoyed.

    Because when the Su family came to look for themselves, they were entrusted by her father to bring a box for the Quan family, and only stayed here for a few days.

    Daddy didn't agree with the Su family at first, but he just revealed some meaning. Next, we have to see if the daughter Quan has the ability to catch up with the Su family when the Su family comes to Xizhou to play. .

    Since the words are not dead, if Mrs. Su changes her tune and falls in love with Miantang, what kind of thing is it!

    Last night, Mrs. Quan was so anxious to tell her husband Lu Mu about Mrs. Su. But Lu Mu didn't care, and hummed, "That's what she didn't know Liu Miantang did, how bold she was to recruit such a daughter-in-law!"

    Clan Quan felt that there was something in Lu Mu's words, and quickly sat up and pushed Lu Mu to ask.

    Lu Mu knew he had slipped. You can't talk about what happened on the mountain. So I picked up the unimportant things, and only said that Miantang was deceived when she lost her memory, and she had been a husband and wife for two years.

    But when Lu Xian mentioned it to his brother, he didn't say who the man was. So Lu Mu felt that he was just a prostitute in the army, and he didn't care much. He was just angry for his nephew and felt that the girls in the family were taken advantage of.

    But now at this joint, Lu Mu secretly rejoices that Miantang has such a secret relationship, it is difficult to marry a decent family, and it saves his daughter Qingying from missing a good marriage.

    So he avoided the important and lightly, and only chose Miantang to lose his memory and then go to the northwest with a soldier to tell the Quan family.

    After hearing this, Mrs. Quan grew his mouth, and it took a long time before he could speak: "You two are really good at being uncles! How could you lose Miantang and end up like this? In general, if this... if this is spread out, let alone that she can't be a person, won't our girl's reputation be ruined?"

    Lu Mu glared and said, "Can this blame us for being uncles? It's her... Oh, I can't tell you for a while, anyway, you know how powerful it is, don't say it.

     But just because of this, she will not compete with our Qingying for the good marriage of the Su family. Besides, Miantang's father is not good enough, and Mrs. Su will not recruit a criminal for her son! "

    Shi Quan was a little relieved, so she rushed to wait for Miantang today, and played side drums for her by the way. After all, she is good-looking. If she uses this to set up a trap for Su Gongzi, won't the family make an ugly mess at that time?

    I didn't expect the stinky girl to play with her and ignore people. I don't even think about her shameful things if they are known, will she still be able to get married!

    Family Quan took a few ledgers and returned to his yard angrily.

    Miantang was a little upset in the following days.

    Perhaps because of being discovered by Miantang, Fan Hu has also become generous, always waiting in the back door for Fang Xie or Bi Cao to go out and entrust them to bring something to Miss Liu.

    After Miantang raised the ears of the two girls, they dared not pick them up again. As for the letter that came for the first time that month, Miantang no longer accepted it.

    Miantang knew that she and Cui Xingzhou in this life should have no fate. But they got together by accident.

    In this case, there should be no regrets.

    As a king of different surnames with outstanding achievements, he is so honorable that he is the son-in-law candidate considered by the Queen Mother. And she is just the daughter of a sinner, not to mention compared to a dignified princess, even a girl from an ordinary innocent family.

    Perhaps when Cui Xingzhou got along with her, he also moved a bit of sincerity and never forgot about her. But what can be the result? Can he really risk the world to stay together with her?

    If she was facing Cui Jiu of North Street, she would defend this marriage with great confidence. But he is Cui Xingzhou, King of Huaiyang, and his love for her is mixed with true and false, maybe even he himself can't tell how true it is.

    I ate too much behind closed doors, and gradually, Fan Hu stopped bringing things. Although Miantang knew that they were hiding in the dark, she didn't come out to disturb her.

    Bicao's work efficiency is high, these days, there are always matchmakers who come to inquire about the situation of the granddaughter of the Lu family.

    And that Mrs. Su, who had been staying here for a few days, was going to leave.

    Miantang met her several times in the garden. Every time Mrs. Su would enthusiastically ask her questions about the business at hand.

    After knowing implicitly that Miantang's business was just escrow for the Lu family, and her father was a prisoner of the court, Mrs. Su's enthusiasm plummeted, and she resumed her love for Miss Lu Qingying appreciation.

    However, Miantang kindly reminded her second aunt, Quan's family, and her cousin Qingying, that she hoped that if the second uncle really wanted to marry the Su family, he should not just listen to others' introductions, but have to go to Su It's good to inquire around the house.

    Because she felt that the Su family was not a serious family like what Master Quan introduced.

    Maybe it was because of being a fake couple with Cui Xingzhou, Miantang learned a lot of stinky tricks, and also had a superficial understanding of people's manners. Many of the little details of the Su family's mother and son are not on the table.

    According to her, half-assed officials like Second Aunt are only half a pound.

    But the mother and daughter could not listen to Miantang's advice. Especially Lu Qingying, who decided that Miantang couldn't eat grapes and said the grapes were sour. It was probably because Mrs. Su looked down on her that she instigated her behind her back like this.

    In fact, Miantang and Su Gongzi didn't bring them.

    To be honest, Miantang always thought that she might admire a gentleman like a scholar. After all, the former son of Tzuyu was, and so was the later Cui Xingzhou.

    While Miantang suspected that she was blind to men, she also had a subtle sense of pride in her superb taste.

    But when she came to Su Gongzi, she really lost her appetite for "gentleness". If it wasn't for the fact that Young Master Su was a treasure held by the second uncle's family, Miantang couldn't help but want to kick back when he was closely following him.

    Anyway, what she should say has already been told to the second uncle's family. If they find her pantothenic acid, she will not say anything else. I can only tell my grandfather behind my back, let him know what the old man knows, and then check the second uncle's house.

    However, what Quan Shixi said in a hurry on this day seems to confirm that Miantang has taken a wrong look and underestimated the Su family.

    It turned out that Mrs. Quan made an appointment with Mrs. Su to go to Cuihua Lou to taste the famous crispy duck in Xizhou.

    Unexpectedly, Mrs. Su said that one of her distant nephews also came to Xizhou, so Mr. Su Mian was the host and wanted to entertain his cousin at Cuihua Building. Since it was a family gathering, he could only Break up with Quan.

    The Quan family inquired about it from the side, and only then did she know that the nephew that Mrs. Su said was actually a hereditary lord.

    She had heard from her father a long time ago that the Su family had a noble relative who was supported and supported, and that Young Master Su Mian had a bright future. Now it seems to be true!

    This Mrs. Su just came to Xizhou to play, and the relatives of the Hou Ye also came. It can be seen that the distant cousins ​​are close to each other.

    The Quan family is now thinking of marrying her daughter to the Su family, and seems to regard the Hou Ye as her own relative.

    But now they are having a family banquet in the Cuihua Building, and they have no chance to see each other. It is really annoying. I just want to find a reason tomorrow, let Su Gongzi introduce it, and let my second master You can also pay homage to that Hou Ye.

    Xu is God heard her prayer, and when the afternoon was approaching, when the mother and son of the Su family who lived in the Lu family came back, they actually brought a distinguished guest.

    When seven or eight canopy carriages parked in front of the Lu Mansion gate, all the people in the street looked around.

      Hanmei, who has opened a yard, came to visit with Young Master Su on purpose, to enjoy the plum blossoms casually!"

    Lu Wu was not as flustered as the concierge. He has traveled all over the world for so many years, and has seen many noble people.

    Besides, their house only had a plum blossom tree two days ago, and they did not have the style of the plum forest in the suburbs. This Marquis looked eagerly at the Lu family to see what was going on?

    Lu Wu frowned, only ordered the old servant to change his clothes, and then went out to greet him.

      As for the big room, Lu Xian was not at home when he went out to work. Only the eldest daughter-in-law, Mrs. Shen, led Miantang out of a moon gate, and then knelt on the side of the door to greet him.

    Before Lu Wu approached, he saw with sharp eyes that the Zhennan Hou crossed the crowd and looked straight at Miantang, as if impatiently trying to help her up.

    And his granddaughter, Miantang, raised her head quickly and squinted at the Duke of Zhennan, both eyes turned out to be murderous. the meaning of life...

    The most strange thing is that the dignified grandfather flinched, and then he honestly greeted Lu Mu first, and then asked the female family to get up without salute.

    At this moment, Lu Wu walked over, and naturally he wanted to greet the lord, but before he got down, he was already lifted up by the Zhennanhou, and said very kindly: "You are Mr. Lu, the old **** of the well-known Shenwei Escort Bureau. You are so old, you don't need to be polite to me, let's drink tea and chat inside!"

    This lord of the name Jiayu is really a straightforward person. After speaking, without waiting for the host's reply, he took the lead in striding ahead, leading a group of people to follow him into the front hall.

    When he arrived in the hall, he politely gave way to Lu Wu, so he rudely sat down in the main seat, and let all the men, women and children also sit down, and be casual, don't be cautious, take him as Friends and relatives are good to each other.

    It's just that most of the people present are not very sociable, they were silent and awkward for a while, and they didn't know what to talk about with this sudden appearance of Hou Ye.

    Fortunately, there is a long-sleeved Lu Mu in the second room who is good at dancing.

    Miantang sat down for a while, and waited until Zhao Houye complimented the old man Lu Wu that he was lucky, his children and grandchildren were all talents, and the girls also looked at the virtuous, and got up at the right time, indicating that he was going to change clothes , left the front hall naturally, and never went back.

    She really went back to her yard to change her clothes, and then took a carriage from the back door to the Conscience Escort.

    The business of the **** has been good these two days, so she took advantage of the afternoon to take a look.

    After half an hour she arrived at the escort, a carriage stopped at the entrance of the escort.

    I saw that Mr. Zhao, who was supposed to be in the Lu family, walked into the **** with a folding fan in the winter.

    Mian Tang was making plans when she saw him coming in, sighed slightly, then walked out of the counter and politely asked Mr. Zhao if he had any goods to be checked.

    Zhao Jiayu only now had time to chat with Miantang, and immediately said, "Miss Liu, are you still annoyed at me? I was forced to lie by Cui Jiu. , don't blame me. When I went to the northwest this time, I knew you had already left, so I couldn't wait to chase after you and apologize..."

    Mian Tang lowered her eyebrows and pleasing her eyes, said solemnly: "It was the first time I saw Lord Hou in the mansion, I don't know the Cui Jiuye you mentioned, as for you, why bother with me? This flat-headed commoner apologizes? It's really confusing."

    Zhao Jiayu immediately woke up: "Yes, I haven't seen Miss before... No, Miss, do you still remember that you came to me to ask for medicine? If you don't know anything Don't remember, pretending not to know me, I can't rely on..."

    Zhao Quan also had an idea, and insisted that Miantang "remember" some of their old friendship. Miantang once mistakenly took him as the boss, and the excuse for asking about the prescription was the best. It will not hurt the reputation of the girl's family, and it is logical for the two to meet.

    Mian Tang looked at Zhao Quan's haggling, she really owed money.

    But she now knows that the one who can become the best friend of the King of Huaiyang is by no means a common man.

    She is a flat-headed commoner, and she has to deal with these princely men every now and then.

    Just now in the Lu Mansion, when he suddenly saw him get off the car and walked towards him without hesitation, Miantang was really in a cold sweat.

    She is not afraid of damaging her reputation, but those absurd things can't affect the reputation of the girls in the Lu family.

    Fortunately, Zhao Quan stopped her feet in time, which saved her from explaining in front of her family. Now Zhao Quan is unrelenting and insists on twisting the two into old friends. If he doesn't rely on him, I don't know what the rambunctious lord will do.

    So Miantang had no choice but to raise her head, looked at Zhao Quan again and said, "Oh, you mentioned that, I remembered, it seems that when I was on the road for a cold, I got a soup from you... But I am I really didn't know that you are the dignified Lord of Zhennan, and there have been many offenses in the past, so please forgive me."

    Seeing that Miantang finally accepted the account, Zhao Quan also let out a long sigh of relief, and said in a low voice, "Then we don't blame either of us?"

    Mian Tang felt that although Cui Xingzhou had smeared Zhao Quan in front of her, Zhao Quan was inconsolable when he spoke.

    So she ignored Zhao Quan's familiar tone, but still asked politely: "Excuse me, do you have any goods to consign here?"

    However, Zhao Quan was used to Liu Miantang's indifference, but he didn't care.

    Since he returned to the mansion, he has been busy taking care of the dirty things in the mansion. He hadn't been in the same room with his Buddhist wife for a long time, but she was happy out of thin air.

    Zhao Quan, who was driven back for a while, revealed his old bottom line. Mrs. Lao Hou was so angry that she almost fainted, so she hurriedly called her daughter-in-law to watch her and gave her the title of Censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. My father wrote a letter, to be clear about it.

    In the end, Zhao Quan finally made a fuss about why his wife was a monk before she got married, and after she got married, she also devoted herself to worshiping Buddha. The housekeeper's son had an affair, even after he got married, he never broke it. When she got married, because she had someone in her heart, she used Buddhism as an excuse and deliberately kept indifferent to herself.

    Now she is pregnant with the evil seed, she originally wanted to secretly give birth, and then send it to raise. Unexpectedly, she was told by the servant girl below her and told her mother-in-law to find out.

    Both of them are worthy, and the scandal has already happened, and no one can afford to lose that person. Naihe, the evil seed in his stomach is too big to be beaten.

    So Zhao Quan's father-in-law took his daughter back to the mansion, and only after full-term, announced that the child's umbilical cord was wrapped around his neck, and he died of dystocia. Find another reason, let the two families leave and leave the documents, quietly and leave.

    So now, although Zhao Quan has the title of being married, his heart is very free.

    After he divorces his ex-wife and picks up the green crown, he can marry whoever he wants! Although Liu Miantang is unbearable to be a wife, she is definitely richer than a concubine.

    However, in order to win the favor of the beautiful woman, there must be a meeting ceremony, Zhao Quan still thought of it.

    So seeing Miantang sitting back at the counter again and making an abacus, Mr. Zhao ordered the servant to bring a big brocade box and a wax-sealed porcelain jar inside and said, "I've been thinking of you all the time. My hands and feet were injured, so I looked for an ancient recipe. But there is an eagle bone flower in the recipe that I can't find. I also spent a lot of time to prepare it. After you go back, apply it to the injured area once a day, and wait until the tendons of the hands and feet are regenerated. Active, and then continue, you will be able to recover as before..."

    After he finished speaking, Miantang looked up at him in disbelief: "Are you telling the truth?"

    Zhao Quan slapped his chest and said, "Dangtang eight feet husband, how can you lie?"

    Miantang looked at the jar—for her, it was really attractive that her hands and feet could recover as before.

     "How much? I'll pay you." Miantang thought for a while and said.

    Zhao Quan said unhappily: "You really take me as a drug seller? Well, this is my return gift for lying to you before, don't you want to annoy me again? "

    Liu Miantang thought about it for a while, but did not answer, but asked another question: "Is Zhao Houye really a relative of Su Gongzi?"

    Zhao Quan tilted his neck and thought about it, not because of his poor memory, but because there are too many people who cling to him inexplicably on weekdays. What kind of uncles, cousins, and nephews often stumble when they go out.

    But he doesn't seem to have any blood relationship with the Su family. It seems that he met Young Master Su during a tea banquet, and then, half-jokingly, became cousins.

    He came to Xizhou this time to see Miantang. Who would have thought to meet Su Gongzi on the street. He warmly made friends with Lord Hou, and Lord Zhao also had ulterior motives when he heard that he was living in the Lu Mansion, trying to get to know the Lu family.

    So the cousins ​​just hit it off.

    Miantang frowned and said, "Since he is not a relative, Lord Hou should clarify it with others, otherwise others will act in your name, wouldn't it also sully the purity of your house? "

    Zhao Quan nodded fiercely: "I usually act absurdly, just because there is no sensible person to take care of me, but I will definitely keep in mind what Miss Liu said. If you continue to take care of me, I will The people of Manhou Mansion thank you, Miss Liu!"
