After thinking about it for a while, Liu Jing calmed herself down. She ordered herself: What is now in front of her is still the two problems, one is to cling to a powerful person, and the other is to think of a stable long-term way to make a lot of money.

Both of these are not easy. In this world, there is an insurmountable gap between people and between classes, and it has never been extremely difficult for the lower class to get close to the people of the higher class, not to mention that she has not had time to manage it carefully, and she has to rush to cross several classes?

After lying like this for a while, Liu Jing became more and more annoyed, so she simply got up.

After tidying up, she walked out of the house again.

This time, as soon as she left the house, she saw a young man dressed as a servant, but richly dressed, who looked like a servant of a high-class family, came over.

After glancing outside the Liu Mansion, he stopped Liu Jing, "Dare to ask Liu Wenjing in Yanghe County if he can live here?" ”

Looking for her?

Liu Jing was taken aback, looked at this person, and said, "I am." ”

The young man was stunned, he turned his head and looked at Liu Jing carefully for a while, then took out an invitation note from his arms and handed it to Liu Jing, saying, "This is from my family Langjun to you." On the 28th of this month, Wu Jun Taishou will meet with Xiucai and filial piety recommended by various counties at Wangchuan Pavilion. If Lang Jun is outstanding and can be looked at by Tai Shouqing, then what Lang Jun asked for will also be settled. Speaking of which, the young man also deliberately added, "My family Langjun said that Liu Lang may not have anything else, this is what should be a little." "There is nothing else, but talent does, he means she has no virtue, right?

Liu Jing lowered her eyes, her fingers holding the sticker were a little white, and after a while, Liu Jing asked in a low voice, "Who is your family?" ”

"My family Langjun's surname is Gu."

After answering Liu Jing's question, the young man arched his hand, "The villain has retired." Then he strode away.

Liu Jing looked at the back of the young man leaving, and didn't move for a long time.

After a while, she looked down at the sticker, turned back to the room, and after putting the sticker away, her heart was still a little confused, and she walked out again.

Since she is preparing to meet Wu Jun Taishou, now Liu Jing only needs to read more books and prepare more knowledge accumulation. Now that she is walking on the street, she is just a casual heart, and she finally doesn't have to worry about clinging to the powerful.

Walking and walking, Liu Jing came to a small tavern. In the tavern, there was a man with a Luoyang accent who was foaming at the mouth and saying something.

Liu Jing was stunned, and then she heard the man say: "Now in Luoyang City, as soon as I hear that you are from Nanyang, even the children of the great family dare not disturb ......."

After listening to a few words, Liu Jing walked into the tavern and sat down, she listened to this person's words, many of which she had never been exposed to, but it was also quite fresh.

After the man finished speaking, a handsome young man dressed as a Confucian sighed: "The court is Tian Shelang, and he ascends to the Tianzi Hall late...... The husband of this world wants to climb up, but it is getting more and more difficult. Hey, I can't wait to be a Nanyang person. ”

As soon as his voice fell, another young man with a national character face smiled: "Why should this brother Tai rest too much? I see that you are very handsome, if you really want to be rich and rich, it is better to go to Luoyang, if you can get the blue eyes of a princess, wouldn't it be a ...... step"

Before the young man's words were finished, the person with a Luoyang accent said, "There is no princess." ”

The man was stunned, and when everyone turned their heads to look, the man said happily: "The princesses born to the first emperor are all old and have long been mothers, and the daughters born to His Majesty are still young, where can the princess let you meet by chance?" ”

Liu Jing was stunned.

She looked at the man and remembered in a daze what Gu Cheng had said to her: "...... For example, the beloved seventeenth princess of Your Majesty likes me, but she has a bad temper and does whatever she wants because of her cleverness, and I really don't like it. And I have a marriage contract, and Her Royal Highness the princess can only retreat in disgrace if she is unwilling. Well, when I wait for a few years, I will see her again, and I may break the marriage contract with you and concentrate on being a colt. ”

However, the man in front of him said that there was no princess to marry in the dynasty......

In Liu Jing's thoughts, the big man frothed at the mouth again, "But Your Majesty attaches great importance to the servants around you, if you really want to climb the shortcut and get rich, there is really a shortcut here." As everyone listened, he said in a slow voice: "Your Majesty has allowed your father-in-law to raise a righteous son, and now there are two fathers-in-law in our Wu County, if any of you get into the blue eyes of one of them..."

As soon as the big man's voice fell, there was silence in the restaurant, and at such an instant, I saw seven or eight people dressed as Confucian scholars standing up. These Confucian scholars passed the crowd, did not glance at the big man, and left the restaurant with their sleeves flicked - it was obvious that what the big man said made the Confucian students feel disdainful, and they disdained to listen to it, and disdained to be with it.

Seeing that the Confucian scholars were gone, Liu Jing, who was going to participate in the Xiucai and filial piety gathering in Wu County soon, also stood up in her heart: among these Confucian students who left, there may be people who attended the meeting, if she still stayed here to listen to this big man's nonsense, maybe she would be remembered by them. When the time comes, it will not be beautiful to reject her.

Liu Jing followed the Confucian students out of the restaurant, outside the restaurant, the sun hung brightly in the sky, the early spring sun, shining warmly on the people, the pedestrians dressed thickly, are serene. Liu Jing looked at them and couldn't help thinking: These people are so relaxed, it must be a family reunion and family harmony.

At this time, she had a sudden sadness. I think she has been held in the palm of her hand by her parents since she was a child. Outside, her father shielded her from all the wind and rain, and at home, her mother took care of everything for her, and she only had to read, embroider, embroider, play the piano every day. At that time, although she knew that her family's family situation was declining year by year, as long as her parents were there, they would shield her from the wind and rain like a mountain. How can there be a precarious situation like now, when the building has collapsed and is precarious?

After coming out of her mind for a while, Liu Jing retracted her thoughts and turned around and returned to the mansion.

As soon as she returned home, she went to the study.

In the study, there are mountains of bamboo slips and paper silks, whether it is bamboo slips or silk books, Liu Jing remembers every word written on it.

Walking over, she lovingly picked up a roll of bamboo slips and unfolded it to look at it, and thought in a trance: My father said that if you are not a rich family, there are very few books. In this way, those talents in Wu County are not necessarily more knowledgeable than me? However, my father also said that many people only read once for life. They have spent ten years and decades working on a single book, so I certainly can't match the areas they have raised.

After thinking for a while, she walked to the side, burned incense and cleaned her hands, calmed down, picked up the brush and practiced calligraphy.

For the next ten days, Liu Jing kept herself in the room and never went out.

Seeing her reading and writing in the study all day long, working hard like a student who wants to start a career, Liu's mother was a little confused: her daughter is too smart because of her excellent memory, but in fact, she is far less serious about learning than ordinary people. Usually I can't read a book for half an hour, so I go to play the piano and paint. Now that she is so energetic, it reminds her of her husband, who loves to read, but is in prison.

After ten days of hard reading, Liu Jing walked out of the study - she remembered it so well, few of the books she had read in a year had been forgotten. These ten days have only been a review of some of the knowledge she thinks is important, and now she has reviewed it almost completely. The day after tomorrow is the twenty-eighth, and she needs to relax before the party.

As soon as he walked out of the study, a servant strode over, he approached Liu Jing, and whispered, "Lang Jun, that Liu Er is back." ”

"Ryuji is back?" Liu Jing was stunned and said in a deep voice: "He went back to Min Mansion?" ”

"Yes, he went to Jian'an County a while ago, and he only returned to Wu County today. As soon as he got off the dock, he went straight to Min's mansion, and went to the street with Min Saburo to meet someone. We followed him all the way, Da Lang, this guy has set up a yard on West Street, and there is a down-and-out official woman in the yard......" Speaking of this, the servant glanced at Liu Jing, and his voice paused slightly: That official woman is similar to Liu Jing's women's clothes at first glance.

Coming back to his senses, the servant continued: "The official woman has already given birth to a son and a half years old for him! Da Lang, when this guy is still by the adult's side, he can buy a concubine and sell the house, he must have betrayed the adult a long time ago! "It's only been four or five months since Father Liu's accident, but Gu Er not only has a wife and children in his hometown, but also has a concubine son in another mansion in Wu County, as a servant, where did he get so much money? In such a situation, didn't he betray Father Liu a year or two ago?

What this servant wanted, Liu Jing also thought of it, she pursed her lips and thought: In the past two years, my father's business has not been smooth, and he has lost something, but Liu Er, who was pulled by him, had spare money to take a concubine as early as a year ago. This Liu Er has a big problem, but I don't know if his money was embezzled from his father's business, or was it given by the Min Mansion?

After thinking for a while, Liu Jing said, "Okay, I know the truth." You keep staring. Don't alarm him. ”

"Yes, Lord."

After sending off the servants, Liu Jing returned to the study, and she went out of the house with a white jade flute.

Among all kinds of musical instruments, Liu Jing's most talented is actually the, and her one-handed flute can be said to be brilliant, which is rarely matched. And the white jade flute in her hand was bought by her father for three hundred taels of gold when she was ten years old. Jade is a high-grade jade, but a while ago she accidentally knocked a corner, although it does not affect the sound quality, but Liu Jing still wants to find a craftsman and complete the flute with gold and silver. She thought that during the banquet, this white jade flute could be put on her body and brought over.

As for whether to bring it over and use it, Liu Jing didn't think much about it-

Sitting in an ox cart, Liu Jing went straight to the silver building on East Street.

Just stepped off the ox cart, Liu Jing came to the door of the silver building, and suddenly, a familiar voice called out in surprise: "Brother Liu? ”
