Thinking of this, she said to Uncle Wu: "Uncle, you have worked hard from afar, first eat a good meal and sleep well." After resting for a few days, Uncle you will take the two of you back to Xiahe Village and wait for Na Ah Wu to come back. The rest of the people were guarding outside the Min Mansion to see when Liu Er would appear. ”

"What a good man."

After Liu Jing arranged Uncle Wu and them in one go, she turned around and walked outside. She was originally in a mood and exhausted, but at this time she had been stimulated by the news brought by Uncle Wu and others, and she was going out now to listen to the right and wrong words collected by those prodigals.

Liu Jing was busy until the evening, and when she came back, Liu's mother had already fallen asleep. In the dimly lit courtyard, only two servants were still gossiping. Seeing Liu Jing coming, they all stood up.

After saying hello to the two servants, Liu Jing returned to the study.

Sitting in the study, she remained motionless for a long time.

Today's meeting with Gu Cheng really consumed too much of her energy. Rao has been so long, as long as she calms down, she still seems to see Gu Erlang's gloomy and hateful gaze when he stares at her, and when he approaches her to speak, it can be terrifying, and she can hear the extreme and the extremely cold voice.

Thinking about it, Liu Jing slowly stretched out her hands and covered her face.

Because candles were too expensive, Liu Jing did not light candles in order to save. Butter lamps are used for lighting. But when the butter lamp burned, the smell of smoke was too strong, and people couldn't bear it, so Liu Jing asked people to put the butter lamp outside the study, so that the door was open and there was some light inside.

It's just that this spring cold and dew are heavy, and as soon as the door opens, the wind whirls in, blowing straight into Liu Jing's body. She covered her face like this, and her body shrunk into a ball because of the cold, this kind of fragility, even Liu's mother had never seen it......

After thinking about it for a while, Liu Jing, who didn't want to immerse herself in unrealistic desires, reached out and rubbed her face, stood up and walked to the bookshelf, looked at the thick books and thought: My father was imprisoned, and the government caught the criminal witness. What I can do at the moment is to catch Ah Wu and Liu Er and let them appear to prove that my father was wronged. It's just that since these two people can do something to frame the master's family, it is impossible for them to come forward with good words. The only way to get them to stand up is to persecute and threaten. Well, when Uncle Wu and the others leave, we have to focus on letting them pay attention to the family and children of these two people, and see if there is anything they can use to make use of them.

In addition to this path, it would be better if I could get to know one or two officials with great backgrounds...... Only in this way can the two ends go hand in hand, and nothing goes wrong. Since Gu Cheng can't count on it, I'll just find a way to cling to one by myself! It's just that the candidate for this clinging has to be pondered carefully.

Since Liu Jing had set the next direction of action, the next day she summoned Uncle Wu and other male servants and asked them to go to Xiahe Village to focus on the situation of Liu Er and Ah Wu's families, and find out where they could take advantage of their mistakes. The one who was staring outside the Min Mansion asked them to find something to do next to the Min Mansion, so as to hide people's eyes, Liu Jing explained to them, staring at the Min Mansion is not only to pay attention to the whereabouts of Liu Wu and Min Saburo, but more importantly, to find out whether the matter of his father's imprisonment has anything to do with the Min Mansion.

After sending Uncle Wu and the others away, Liu Jing began to think about how to get close to the magnates of Wu County.

On the seventh day, she received news from the prodigal sons, that is, Liu Ding, the third son of the lord of Wu who had settled in Wu County, wanted to hire a pianist for his concubines. Liu Ding's requirements for the pianist are a bit special, requiring the other party to not only be erudite and talented, but also elegant and handsome, preferably able to be good at poetry and dance, and proficient in two musical instruments. Originally, he could go to the prostitution to find such a request, but Liu Ding focused on the requirements of elegant character, that is, the musician hired must be a person with a clean net worth and a noble character.

The requirements are high, and the treatment is naturally good, Liu Jing was moved when she learned that Liu Ding gave as much as twenty taels of remuneration every month.

Speaking of which, Liu Jing can meet Liu Ding's requirements, but after all, she is a woman dressed as a man, and Liu Fu's requirements are also a bit weird...... That's it, if everything is tied, and she is slumped in by worry before she can try, she can't expect to save her father. Anyway, let's give it a try.

When Liu Jing came to the gate of Liu Ding's Mansion, she saw at a glance that there were more than a dozen ox carts, horse-drawn carts, and donkey carts parked outside the gate.

Seeing Liu Jing coming, after a few doormen guarding the gate looked up and down, one of them walked out and said politely: "What is Mr?" ”

Liu Jing gave a salute and replied in a clear voice: "I heard that the third prince intends to hire a pianist, and Liu is not talented, so come and give it a try." "The lord of Wu is the brother of the current emperor, and Liu Ding is the dragon son and phoenix grandson of the Zhengzheng sect. Since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there is a saying that 'the son of the prince is the son', so on weekdays, Liu Ding is often called the third son.

Menzi had already guessed her intention, and after hearing the words, he nodded, and said, "Gongzi is inside, Liu Lang please." With that, he led Liu Jing to the inside.

As soon as the two of them moved, a luxurious carriage drove behind them, and as soon as the carriage stopped, the two guards of the Liu Mansion rushed up.

Before they could ask, a soft and pleasant young man's voice came from the carriage, "Who is that person?" ”

What he saw was Liu Jing who was walking towards the house.

After a guard looked back, he said respectfully: "If you return to Langjun, that Confucian surname is Liu, and he wants to be hired as a violinist." ”

"Hired as a luthier?" The young man in the carriage chuckled, "You're going to hire a luthier in your house?" ”

The guard lowered his voice and leaned forward and said, "It's not for that...... The third son of my family heard that Gonggong Zhang has always liked a handsome young man with good hands, so he came up with such an idea to recruit a luthier. Hey, as long as I can get my father-in-law over, my third son is willing to do anything. ”

The guard spoke, his voice getting lower and lower. At this moment, it seemed that there was an invisible cold enveloping him, making the guard sweat unconsciously. I don't know where I offended this powerful guard, I shuddered, and stammered: "You, Deng ......"

Before he could finish speaking, the man in the carriage spoke, "Is that so?" It's interesting. Hearing his voice with a smile, the guard who came out of the old sweat breathed a sigh of relief, "No, my third son has also tried his best......" The man in the carriage interrupted him, "How about hiring a luthier today?" ”

The guard hurriedly replied, "There are quite a few, there are more than a dozen." Speaking of this, he said with contempt, "The third prince was still worried that those Confucian scholars were pretentious and not moved by money, tsk, he was really worried in vain." ”

"Really?" The young man in the carriage sighed softly and said gently, "Yes, this is really not a good habit...... Alas, she is about to make trouble again, and it seems that she has to put off her business. "Knowing that she is going to commit a crime, if he doesn't show up, won't he be sorry for himself?

After saying this inexplicable sentence, which was completely incomprehensible to the guards, the young man in the carriage said softly: "Well, I have gone to see your third son...... By the way, don't be busy with the report, I'll take a look first. ”

"Yes, yes." The guard nodded in response, and respectfully greeted the young man in the carriage, led him, and walked towards the door of the house.

At the same time, Liu Jing came to a garden under the leadership of Namenzidi.

The garden was very lively, and there were more than a dozen collapse tables in the middle, and there were some beauties and young people dressed as nobles sitting in the middle of it. And on the opposite side of those collapsed tables, there are also more than a dozen couch tables, at this moment, those couches are full of people, Liu Jing looked at it, they were all like herself, plainly dressed, handsome in appearance, and at first glance they were full of poetry and books.

Looking at those people, Liu Jing secretly thought in her heart: One of the hiring conditions of Liu Mansion is to be able to dance...... Could it be that these Confucian scholars are the same as themselves, and they can't dance?

Liu Jing can dance because she has been energetic since she was a child, and her father asked people to teach her to dance in order to give her a source of energy and exercise...... In this era, dance is not exactly the talent of Qinglou women, more than 1,000 years before Qin, when the world rejoiced in sacrifices, they liked to dance. And Qin died until now, but more than 300 years, the Spring and Autumn Legacy that has lasted for thousands of years cannot be completely eliminated. Therefore, when people express their emotions, or are excited or invite witches, they still like to dance. However, unlike the Qin period, in the past, there were no restrictions on men and women, and anyone who was interested could go on it, but now the dancers are mainly women.

Under the leadership of Menzidi, Liu Jing came slowly.

Rao is garden is lively time, and at the moment Liu Jing appeared, everyone's eyes still turned to look at her.

…… In terms of appearance, in terms of the transparent show that is as warm as jade, Liu Jing is impeccable, such a beautiful man, naturally compares all Confucian students.

As Liu Jing got closer and closer, the Confucian scholars were gone, and the wives, concubines, beauties and guests of the Liu Mansion became noisy. One person was surprised: "This kid is good, in terms of his appearance, he is comparable to Deng Jiu." As soon as his voice fell, another immediately stepped on him and shouted, "You don't want to die?" Dare to say that about King Deng Yan? ”
