Liu Xiu obviously didn't expect the first question that Yin Lihua threw at him, and he responded with a smile: "How can I know if this is true or false?" After all, when I was born, I didn't know anything about the outside world. Even if you know about it, you won't have a trace of it. ”

Yin Lihua nodded, thought about it for a while, and continued: "When my teacher saw me for the first time, he asked me a question, saying what is the troubled times, what is the prosperous times, I want to ask my cousin, what do you think is the troubled times, what is the prosperous times?" ”

Liu Xiu replied: "There is no way in troubled times, but there is way in prosperous times." ”

Yin Lihua saw that his answer was exactly the same as her original answer, her heart moved, and she continued to ask, "What is the Tao?"

Liu Xiu replied: "What the people want is the way." ”

"So how can we get the hearts and minds of the people?" Yin Lihua asked again.

Liu Xiu frowned and said; "May the people give it, and then reward it."

"Isn't this the grand wish that the Great General of Wuhou, the Sage Wang Mang, once made?" Yin Lihua was surprised.

Liu Xiu replied: "The sage derives the avenue, and what Lord Wang does is exactly where the Tao goes. The ancients learned from each other's strengths, so I also think that the people must give it, and then reward it in order to win the hearts and minds of the people. ”

Yin Lihua covered her mouth and smiled, then shook her head and said: "There is no road in the world, but when people walk more, the road will come out." Well, I won't ask anything else, I don't want to marry you now. ”

After speaking, she said to Yin Quande again: "Patriarch Grandpa, I have already given the results of Cousin Liu Xiu's matter, I don't know what else Patriarch Grandpa commands?" ”

Yin Quande said: "Since you don't want to marry and have no intention of Liu Xiu's nephew, then I won't force it, you go back, there's nothing for you here." ”

Liu Yan was taken aback, he hadn't figured out why Yin Lihua rejected his younger brother.

Now that he saw that Yin Lihua was leaving, he immediately felt a little anxious.

For Yin Lihua, he is very satisfied, and he really wants this woman to marry his younger brother.

He was about to say something, but Liu Xiu suddenly laughed.

Yin Lihua heard the laughter, her body paused, her complexion changed slightly, and a wisp of blush flashed, but then she didn't have any abnormalities and left the hall quickly.

Liu Yan didn't know why Liu Xiu was laughing, so he reprimanded: "Brother, why are you laughing? Could it be that Lihua rejected this family business, are you so ignorant of the rules? ”

Liu Xiu shook his head and did not answer, but hung his head to the side, thinking about the future events.

Yin Quande looked at Wuyazi and asked what Wuyazi should do now.

Wu Yazi was also a little strange about Liu Xiu's sudden laughter, he thought about it for a while and felt that he couldn't make a rash decision.

Because he saw the moment when Yin Lihua paused when he went out just now and the flush that flashed on his face, he expected that there must be something strange in it, and the conversation between the two of them just now was definitely boring.

"It seems that this matter still needs to be figured out by Lord Wang." Wu Yazi thought secretly.

"Yin family master, Liu Yan and the two have been here for a long time, and they are inevitably a little tired after talking for a long time, I think it is better for everyone to have a drink to relieve fatigue first, and then come to talk slowly?" Wu Yazi suggested.

Yin Quande was stunned for a moment, and then asked Liu Yan, "Virtuous nephew, what do you think?" ”

"My nephew can't ask for it." Liu Yan responded quickly, he still wanted to fight for Liu Xiu, but he really didn't want Liu Xiu to miss this good family business.

Then everyone got up and headed for the dining hall together.

On the way, Wu Yazi whispered to Yin Quande: "Yin family master, there are still some strange things in this matter, I need to quietly deduce a heavenly opportunity." Lihua's qi is extraordinary, and her marriage is not sloppy at all. You should deal with it for a while, don't make promises rashly, and don't easily offend and refuse. Once I have a clear conclusion, let's plan for the next step. ”

"Okay, it's up to the seniors to decide this matter." Yin Quan De responded.

Wu Yazi nodded, and found an excuse to take a step first halfway and split paths with everyone.

When he arrived at his residence, he immediately wrote a secret letter about the details of the incident. Then he handed it over to his confidant and asked him to send the letter to Wang Mang in Gansu as soon as possible, and asked Wang Mang to make a decision.

After doing this, he cleaned up a little, went to the banquet hall again, and continued to talk with Liu Xiu and the others.

After Yin Lihua returned to her boudoir, her heart was pounding, her face was flushed, and Liu Xiu's face appeared in her mind.

She muttered to herself, "I've heard of your name for a long time, and when I see you today, you're really extraordinary." Since you understand what I said before, I will wait for you here. ”

She had the same thoughts as Liu Xiu before, and she fell in love with Liu Xiu at first sight, and almost decided that Liu Xiu was the person she wanted to marry.

Of course, she is a woman after all, and there are some things that cannot be said clearly. And she is indeed arrogant, she wants to try Liu Xiu's depth and ability, and she wants to investigate it deeply.

She tried her best to calm the shyness in her heart, as if there was nothing, still holding a book and savoring it.

In the banquet hall, the two brothers Liu Xiu did not stay for a long time after luncheon, so they said goodbye and left.

When he got out of the gate of the Yin family, Liu Yan said: "Brother, I think that Yin Lihua is very good, talented and virtuous, not comparable to ordinary women, you have to find a way to communicate with her more in the future, and try to win her favor." Today's faux pas is very inappropriate, so you must pay attention to it next time. ”

Liu Xiu shook her head and sighed, "Brother, Lihua didn't reject me, she just gave me a problem." Or rather, it's testing me. ”

"Oh? She didn't reject you? What does this mean? Didn't she say she didn't want to marry you at the time? Liu Yanqi said.

"Heaven must not be revealed, I have my own measure in this matter." Liu Xiu said: "Brother, didn't you always want to revive our royal family before?" I think it's time to do it, and I want to take the opportunity to build something on it. ”

"Huh...."Liu Yan was surprised, a little confused.

"Brother, you have always been smarter than me, and you have seen much more far-reaching things than me. Since you have a sense of proportion in Lihua's matter, then I won't say more. Do you have any good thoughts on the matter of raising troops? ”

Liu Xiu replied: "Now there is a big chaos, the heroes are competing for hegemony, and the people are not happy. As descendants of the royal family, we have more opportunities than others. The reason why Wang Mang was able to gain a firm foothold quickly was because he won the hearts and minds of the people. At present, our royal family still has a deep position in the hearts of the people, so it is easier for us to win the hearts of the people than Wang Mang at the beginning.

Wang Mang has a very right saying, those who win the hearts of the people win the world. Now, brother, you can use the name of our royal descendants to secretly plot and develop your power. I probably also see it, the head of the Wang family is dead, and Xuzhou will be in chaos.

Xuzhou is a little far away from our side, and it is not good for us to go there to plot. Therefore, my opinion is that we can start plotting against the Jingzhou territory controlled by the Huo family.....
