"Dacheng Temple is near the market, and the Confucius Temple looks at the far building."

"Flowers and birds and pets are surrounded by tribute courtyards, and both sides of Qinhuai are receiving at the same time."

This poem describes the famous Confucius Temple in Jinling, but anyone who comes to Jinling, if they have not been to the Confucius Temple, it is equivalent to coming in vain.

Since ancient times, Jinling is a place rich in beauties and talents, the beautiful Qinhuai Eight Uniques, and the world-renowned Jiangnan Four Talents, all have a great relationship with Jinling, the ancient Six Dynasties.

Nowadays, although Jinling is no longer the national capital, it is still used as the place where the examination of the imperial examination of the Guozi is supervised, and the Jiangnan Gongyuan behind the Confucius Temple is the examination center of the scientific examination, and a large number of candidates gather every year.

There is a way to be a literati, and the word "sao" is enough to attract the attention of beauties, and it is reasonable that there are fireworks everywhere on both sides of Qinhuai.

The waterways around the Confucius Temple are unimpeded, so it has naturally become a natural place for literati and to hook up with beautiful women.

But seeing the boats on the lake, the singing and dancing music is endless, and occasionally the sound of men and women frolicking, creating a world of drunken gold.

At this time, a horse-drawn carriage combining Chinese and Western came to the Confucius Temple and stopped.

There were two young girls sitting in the car, one master and one servant, one white and one green. The woman in white wore a hat, and the white veil hung down, and she couldn't see her face clearly. However, according to the rule that a woman will often choose a female companion who is ten times uglier than herself as a "green leaf foil", looking at her maids are very handsome, it can be inferred that the appearance of this woman in white must be overwhelming.

The two masters and servants are none other than Shen Ziyan, the daughter of Shen Wansan, the richest man in Jinling, and her personal maid Xiaohe.

"I regret that I shouldn't have listened to your girl's bad idea to let Li Gongzi come to Jinling, I just thought that Li Gongzi is a county order, how can he leave lightly? If he was charged by the imperial court for the crime of deserting his post without permission, wouldn't Miss Ben harm him? Shen Ziyan said with annoyance, a little worried in her tone.

It turned out that a few days ago, Shen Ziyan learned from her father Shen Wansan that the Shen family planned to set up a joint venture with the British to open Liru Bank, originally she didn't care, but Shen Wansan said that she leaked her mouth after drinking, and the back of Kailiru Bank was to fight against Li Weiguo's Asian Investment Bank, because the Li family's renegade and repentance of marriage had always been lingering in Shen Wansan's heart, so the Shen family cooperated with the British more to retaliate against Li Weiguo.

Shen Ziyan's heart has always been tied to Li Weiguo's body, and after learning about her father's plan, she became worried, so she was ready to go directly to Chongming County to see Li Weiguo, and even planned to help her lover Li Weiguo stir up Liru's bank.

But as Shen Ziyan's personal maid Xiaohe, although she and Shen Ziyan are master servants, they are like sisters, she knows that she can't stop Shen Ziyan from helping Li Weiguo, so she gives Shen Ziyan an idea, she can't go directly to Li Weiguo, that will be looked down upon.

Shen Ziyan also felt that it was really inappropriate for a girl's family to take the initiative to find a man so far away, it was immoral, if Shen Wansan knew that she had lost the face of the Shen family, it would be a big problem. At the same time, Xiao He told her that this was also an opportunity, and if it succeeded, the Shen and Li families could be remarried.

After listening to Xiaohe's words, Shen Ziyan was suddenly moved, even if she listened to Xiaohe's idea and wrote to Li Weiguo, with Li Weiguo's cleverness, she would definitely be able to understand.

It's just that Shen Ziyan is everyone's lady after all, and she knows a lot about things, and soon when she calmed down, she felt that Xiaohe's idea was very inappropriate, and it would be very unfavorable if Li Weiguo left Chongming County without permission and was used by someone with a heart, so she had what she said just now.

"Miss, the letter has already been sent out anyway, and the person is estimated to be arriving soon, so it's too late to regret it now." Xiaohe said with a big grin, she was just a maid after all, and she naturally didn't think about it so carefully and thoughtfully, and she felt a little inappropriate after listening to Shen Ziyan's explanation, but she didn't care about that.

"That's all there is to it!" Shen Ziyan sighed and said, "After seeing Li Gongzi, let's let him go back!" ”

"How's that going to work?" Xiaohe suddenly objected: "I finally had the opportunity to call him here, this time Liru Bank, although Xiaohe doesn't understand, but as long as Li Weiguo is willing to come over, it means that he attaches great importance to this matter, Miss, you must make good use of it, maybe this is your only opportunity, while Miss Fu's whereabouts are unknown now, it is not impossible to re-marry the Shen and Li families by taking advantage of this matter." ”

"How's that going to work? If Li Gongzi knows that I am forcing him with this matter, even if I get my wish in the future, what will he think of me? Shen Ziyan suddenly shook her head and said, looking very uneasy.

"What else can you think? Naturally, other men see themselves the same as women! Xiaohe suddenly said: "My mother told me, in the eyes of men, women are the tools of inheritance, as long as you have a child, he will not say anything about you, if you give birth to a son, then you are a status that cannot be shaken." You don't care what he thinks of you, as long as you like it in your heart. ”

"Then what if I can't give birth to a son?" Shen Ziyan asked weakly.

Xiaohe suddenly rolled her eyes and said angrily: "I said Miss, let's not think about having a child first, let's take it step by step, okay?" Now the eight characters haven't been skimmed yet, we have to want to catch the old man first, let Li Weiguo be in a hurry first, he only needs to be in a hurry, not yet, Miss, you say one is one and two is two, he has to do it, right? ”

At this moment, Xiaohe is a dog-headed military advisor, giving Shen Ziyan bad ideas.

However, Shen Ziyan didn't take it to heart, at this moment she kept staring at the outside of the carriage, searching for her lover in the sea of people, as for what Xiaohe, the dog-headed military advisor, said, I'm afraid that this eldest lady of the Shen family has her left ear and right ear.

At this moment, there was a sound of horses' hooves in front of me, and I saw a team of people and horses appear in front of the Confucius Temple.

On a snow-white high-headed horse, there was a young man in Tsing Yi, his face was slightly tired, but his eyes were extremely sharp and energetic.

This young man was Li Weiguo, who temporarily handed over the affairs of Chongming County to Wu Yong after receiving Shen Ziyan's letter, while he rushed back to Jinling in civilian clothes.

Behind Li Weiguo were Zhang Xiaoliu and other personal guards, only fifty people came, all carrying muskets and sabers, because Li Weiguo was riding a BMW sent by Shen Ziyan, and ordinary war horses couldn't keep up with the speed, so Zhang Xiaoliu and the others were all one person and two horses, so they could barely keep up with Li Weiguo's speed.

"Li Gongzi, I'm here!" Shen Ziyan saw her beloved BMW at a glance, and the one sitting on the BMW was her little lover Li Weiguo, who was thinking about her in the twilight.

As soon as she saw her "Prince Charming", Shen Ziyan, like other women in love, suddenly forgot all the words that Xiaohe had taught her before.

Seeing Shen Ziyan shouting Li Weiguo, Xiaohe beside her was almost angry, rolled her eyes and said, "I said Miss, why are you so angry?" Didn't we say that we should cool off Li Weiguo's house first, let him suffer a little, and wait a few hours, we are calling him? ”

Shen Ziyan immediately defended: "I should have gone directly to Chongming County to see Li Gongzi, but now that I have invited Li Gongzi to come to Jinling, how can I let people wait?" Wouldn't it be more of a joke if you lost your manners?

"Hey, my eldest lady, you are really stunned by that Li Weiguo, if you let the master know, you have to be angry!" Xiaohe smiled bitterly, with a defeated expression.

"Hugh is going to talk nonsense!" Shen Ziyan was exposed by Xiaohe, she was ashamed and angry, and immediately defended: "What do you know about a dead girl?" Li Gongzi swore to Miss Ben that he would marry Miss Ben in the future, so Li Weiguo was not considered an outsider, and Miss Ben only did this to prevent her father from becoming mortal enemies with his future son-in-law. ”

"Miss, are you really naïve? Can you believe the words of the family when you were a child? Xiaohe suddenly pouted.

While speaking, Li Weiguo heard Shen Ziyan call him, immediately dismounted, came to the carriage, and arched his hand and said: "It turns out that Miss Shen has arrived, and Miss Shen is tired and waiting, I am deeply sorry!" ”

"Li Gongzi - that I - apologize - should - I am too - just arrived-" Shen Ziyan saw that Li Weiguo suddenly felt like a deer for some reason, and she was so nervous that she couldn't match her words, and she stammered even more.

Xiaohe on the side patted his head helplessly, shook his head and smiled bitterly, and said secretly: "Hey, my eldest lady, you are not usually like this!" What a shame! ”
