Dong Xiaowan panicked when she heard this, and hurriedly grabbed Liu Ruyi's arm.

Liu Ru's expression remained unchanged, and said: "Zheng Xibo originally had no concubines, and the folk girls have admired them for a long time, so I wonder if they can enter together?" ”

Ahem

Zhou Zheng was choked, and hurriedly put down the teacup to wipe his mouth, and looked at Liu Ruis with some surprise.

In his impression, the iron-clad Liu Ru collapsed in an instant.

Shangguan Qing stared at Zhou Zheng with more and more round eyes, and he endured it without making trouble.

Zhou Zheng continued to pretend not to see it, wiped his mouth, picked up the shelf, and said with a smile: "Since Miss Liu said so, it would be a little unkind if the official refused." The official then instructed his subordinates to prepare, and within three days, he would marry two girls to get started. ”

Shangguan Qing's originally sharp eyes slowly faded, and he began to turn thoughtfully to Liu Ruis and Dong Xiaowan.

She has been married to Zhou Zheng for many years, knows the roots, and occasionally makes a joke, but it feels strange to marry two women directly in front of her.

Sure enough, Liu Ru puffed out the corners of his face, snorted, and said: "Mr. Qian said that the old treacherous and cunning of the expedition to Xibo has far-reaching plans, and now it seems that it is indeed true. ”

Zhou Zheng laughed and did not speak.

Liu Ru glanced at Dong Xiaowan, and said in a deep voice: "Zheng Xibo, since the words have been said here, the people's daughter will also go around in circles, and the people's daughter hopes that Zhengxibo will handle the case impartially and release Mao Gongzi and others." ”

That's right.

Zhou Zheng looked at the two women, shook his head and said: "This case falls on the Criminal Department, you all know that Zhang Sizhi, the secretary of the Criminal Department, is a person from Yuanfu." I have also paid attention to this case, the human and material evidence is conclusive, but there should be no prison sentence, wait a few months, the case is closed, and you can get together. ”

Dong Xiaowan became more anxious, and her pretty face turned pale.

Liu Ru stared at Zhou Zheng and said: "It should be very clear that Zheng Xibo is implicated, he did not participate in bribing the examiners, nor did he cheat in the imperial examination, 'never use' is too strict and unfair." ”

Zhou Zheng picked up the teacup again and said thoughtfully: "I don't know if he is innocent, but if he is released if he is so unclear, will it be fair to the world's scholars?" Miss Liu, you came to me to say that these are useless, Qian Ge's face, it is more than enough to rescue a brave frontier. ”

Liu Ru puffed out the corners of her face and stared at Zhou Zheng speechless.

She and Qian Qianyi met in Chongzhen for eleven years, and they only met once at the Restoration Society Conference, and then they met last year, in the thirteenth year of Chongzhen, the two sang and sang peace, and they were quite a little sorry, but just when the two were going further, Qian Qianyi suddenly entered Beijing to seek an official position, and had no time to take care of Liu Rus.

Such a delay is a year, and the two have not corresponded for nearly a year.

That is, a while ago, Qian Qianyi seemed to be idle, remembered Liu Ruyi, and the two corresponded again, and Liu Ruyi also saw that the Fushe moved north, and then came over.

Therefore, the relationship between Liu Ru and Qian Qianyi has turned from hot to cold and waiting for recovery, after a year, the two are now a little strange, and it is inconvenient for Liu Ru to come to the door directly, and it is even more inappropriate to make an appointment in private.

This is also the reason why she came to Zhou Zheng with a thick face.

Shangguan Qing listened to it on the side, looked at Dong Xiaowan's sad look, pursed the corners of his mouth, and suddenly said in a loud voice: "Use silver." ”

Zhou Zheng raised his eyebrows and glanced at Shangguan Qing.

Shangguan Qing quietly picked up the teacup and lowered his head to drink tea.

Liu Ru looked at the movements and expressions of Zhou Zheng and his wife, blinked, and suddenly felt interesting in his heart.

Dong Xiaowan seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw, turned to Shangguan Qing, and said in a loud voice: "Madam, are you telling the truth?" Can you use silver to save the impostor? ”

Shangguan Qing lowered his head and drank tea, drank it for a while, and when he couldn't drink it, he looked sideways outside, as if there was any movement outside.

Liu Ru saw it, pulled Dong Xiaowan down, and turned to Zhou Zhengdao: "The people's daughter took the liberty to visit and disturb Zheng Xibo, I hope you will forgive me." ”

Zhou Zheng got up with a smile and said, "Miss Liu is polite, my wife doesn't have any friends, she is too lazy to say so much today, and she often comes to play when she has time." ”

Shangguan Qing rolled his eyes at the 'mockery' in Zhou Zheng's words.

Liu Ru responded with a smile and pulled Dong Xiaowan away quickly.

Shangguan Qing saw that the two were gone, pursed the corners of his mouth, and said softly: "It's quite pitiful." ”

Zhou Zheng looked at her and knew that he was talking about Dong Xiaowan, such a woman and Mao Bijiang were destined to be full of disasters and difficulties, difficult to last, and there would be no happiness at all.

Zhou Zheng was thinking about Dong Xiaowan, Liu Ru is and other historical endings, he also shook his head and sighed, and said: "This presumptuous presumptuous rhetoric in the questioning, was regarded as a magic treasure by those who opposed the change of the law, and he himself rushed forward, even if I didn't speak, there were people who suppressed him." This venture is a romantic and talented man in Jiangnan, the family is full of wives and concubines, Dong Xiaowan really married, and he may not have a good life. ”

The wife may be better, but the concubine has no status, and is often given away, and if one is not good, it will be sold. Dong Xiaowan is very famous in Qinhuaihe, if he is jealous in the backyard, I am afraid it is better to be single.

Shangguan Qing nodded lightly, glanced at Zhou Zheng, and a smile flashed in his eyes.

Zhou Zheng said these gossips and said: "Shen'er, Ke'er, you keep an eye on it, don't push it too hard, I can't take care of them too much now, and it's a critical time for schoolwork." ”

Shangguan Qing snorted and said, "Sister-in-law is staring very closely, and Xiao'er wants to go to Tianjin Wei to find her grandfather several times." ”

Zhou Dewei, this is the son of Zhou Fang and the eldest son of Zhou's mansion.

Zhou Zheng laughed and said, "Call them over for dinner, and I'll test them." ”

Shangguan Qing responded and ordered his subordinates to prepare a meal.

Liu Ru and Dong Xiaowan came out of the Zhou Mansion and quickly raised silver, preparing to use the silver to open the way to save people.

Coincidentally, it happened that Zhou Yanru was ready to compromise, and the big thing turned into a small one, and Mao Bijiang and others were not involved much, so they were 'expelled from school' and released.

It stands to reason that Dong Xiaowan sprinkled a lot of silver for him, and Mao Bijiang should be grateful and get back together, but Mao Bijiang felt that he had been humiliated, scolded Dong Xiaowan, and left, leaving the capital directly and returning to Jiangnan.

Dong Xiaowan cried sadly and fell seriously ill.

And then the progress of Liu Ru and Qian Qianyi was also affected, and the relationship between the two seemed to come to an abrupt end.

Li Juesi of the Ministry of Rites didn't know why, and suddenly put on a notebook, accusing the Jiangnan scholars of corrupt morals, and the scholars had been messing with prostitutes for a long time, wandering around the Qinhuai River all day long, extravagant, and decadent.

As soon as this recital came out, some people quickly followed suit, and the recital was full of what was "the warm wind smoked the tourists drunk, and Hangzhou was made Bianzhou", "the merchant girl did not know the hatred of the country, and she still sang the flowers in the backyard across the river", etc., and whipped the famous prostitute culture in the south of the Yangtze River.

The Ming Dynasty had a strict system for lowly people, especially prostitutes, and scholars were strict prostitutes, let alone married, but today, these have long been dilapidated.

In history, Qian Qianyi even married Liu Ru into the door with the gift of the main room, and the government and the opposition did not react, but the literati praised it, which became a beautiful talk for a while.

The situation is a little different now, firstly, Qian Qianyi is a cabinet minister, and marrying a famous prostitute will damage his reputation, and secondly, the court is changing the law, the situation is delicate, there are too many rights and wrongs, and Qian Qianyi does not dare and does not want to cause trouble. Third, this matter suddenly became a little strange, and Qian Qianyi was cautious, so he kept his distance from Liu Ru quietly.
