She has been in charge of the family business for many years, and she thinks that except for Li Hanyao, she is not inferior to any woman in the industry, and even better than many men, but today's events have shaken her self-confidence. She has never clearly realized at this moment: her previous success, in addition to the backing of her family, and the support of her parents and brothers, the Liu family has a big business, even if she loses a single transaction, it will not make the Liu family hurt, that is to say, she had this strength in the past and could afford to lose.

Now that she has entered the officialdom, her political foundation is weak, and her parents do not support her, Li Hanyao has become her only hope.

She didn't dare to count on Li Hanyao.

This time is different from last time, last time Fan Dayong tried to dominate Jiangnan, Li Hanyao had to exterminate Fan Dayong, so he went all out and commanded in person; This time for Lin Zhiqiu's art exhibition, Li Hanyao assigned the task to her, she was regarded by Li Hanyao as the minister of the humerus, if she couldn't show her ability, wouldn't she live up to Li Hanyao's expectations? What qualifications do you have to be the chief officer of the Jiangnan Weaving Bureau?

But she was not sure of victory.

At the critical moment, her confidence was shaken.

Can Lin Zhiqiu really succeed?

What if those people are not convinced?

No, not just in case, for sure!

Since ancient times, the literati have been light, with Lin Zhiqiu's qualifications and fame, if he wants to be recognized by Shilin, it is a pipe dream, not to mention that the people of insight gathered here are like carp crossing the river, and the exhibition has not yet opened, it has attracted many people to ridicule, and on the day of opening, it is what kind of praise and criticism, she dare not imagine.

She was panicked and uneasy, her thoughts were like wild horses rushing out of the fence, running in all directions: for a while, she felt that Li Hanyao was there, so she didn't have to worry; For a while, he considered which of Lin Zhiqiu's paintings were more effective and which paintings were best not to take out, which were easy to attract slander; For a while, I wanted to draw a picture of how to deal with slander after it was opened; For a while, I thought that it was not yet open, so there was no need to mess around, so I should go all out to organize an art exhibition first; Then he returned to how to choose the paintings, and was worried that Lin Zhiqiu would not be able to take on the heavy responsibility...... She pulled back this one, and ran away with that one, her thoughts were disorganized, and she could not gather, but she shivered like a cold winter in the hot summer.

Suddenly, my face was cold.

Wiped it with his hand and wiped it with water.

She burst into tears.

"Father, why did you do this to me?"

She choked up and muttered to herself.

The son doesn't say anything about his father, not to mention that his father used invisible tricks, even if he openly condemned her, she couldn't have any words. If her brother Liu Jiaping was at home, she could still ask her brother for comfort, but her brother was sent out by Li Hanyao to raise food, and she couldn't find anyone to talk to, so she could only be sad alone.

Xi'er was careful, and found that the girl was strange but didn't dare to say it, and suddenly remembered that Ouyang Weiwei came, and the relationship with her girl was not bad before, but now she is an official in the same yamen, and she is also a bitter stomach and no one complains.

Without waiting to invite, Ouyang Weiwei came by herself.

Ouyang Weiwei has been recuperating at home, and now that her injuries are gradually healing, she sees that literati and imperial envoys from all over the world are gathering in Xiazhao, including members of the Wang clan, she wants to inquire about the news of her younger brother Ouyang Jinghui, and she also wants to share her worries for Li Hanyao, and prepare to go to the government from today. Who knew that as soon as he came, he heard rumors about Liu Shiyu and his wife. She asked the reason, and came to Liu Shiyu.

Xi'er was overjoyed and thought, "This is a coincidence. ”

She hurriedly passed the message: "My lord, Lord Ouyang is here." ”

Liu Shiyu hurriedly wiped away her tears and ordered to come in.

Ouyang Weiwei entered the inner hall and saluted Liu Shiyu first.

The two of them had to get rid of the old boudoir habits and follow the rules of officialdom.

Liu Shiyu said, "Lord Ouyang, please take a seat." ”

Ouyang Weiwei saw that her eyes were slightly red and her eyelids were slightly swollen, so she didn't see it, so she sat down first, waited for Xi'er to serve tea, and lowered her head to drink tea.

Liu Shiyu asked her about her physical recovery, what medicine she is taking, and diet and other gossip, and then changed the conversation and asked her when she would come to Shangya, saying that she was looking forward to her every day, and the two had a discussion.

Ouyang Weiwei answered one by one.

"My subordinates will go to the government from today."

"It's great."

Liu Shiyu was overjoyed, although Ouyang Weiwei was not idle at home, and would also share some official duties, it was not more convenient than coming to the yamen in person.

Ouyang Weiwei also smiled when she saw that her expression did not seem to be fake. Yin Dao: "The rumors outside have all been heard by my subordinates. Although adults are not as powerful as Miss Li, they are not weak people, so why bother with those rumors? ”

Liu Shiyu said: "Where am I sad for those rumors, I am for my father's attitude towards my husband, I feel uncomfortable when I think about it." ”

Ouyang Weiwei was speechless for a while, and then said indifferently: "Who made us women." It is difficult for women to live. You're not bad, no matter how ugly your uncle speaks, it's for the good of your sister; Sister think about sister ......"

Liu Shiyu thought that her parents calculated against each other, and finally the family was ruined, she couldn't help but feel sad, and she couldn't care about her sadness, so she hurriedly persuaded her to mourn, don't be immersed in the past anymore and can't extricate herself; In the end, he encouraged her, and in order to encourage himself, he said angrily: "That's it, let's not mention those sad things." No matter how difficult a woman's fate is, now that she has the opportunity to fight for a new world, we must put aside all our worries and go all out to follow Sister Li to indulge this time. ”

Ouyang Weiwei said solemnly: "Exactly." ”

While the two were talking, Xi'er handed in a name post, with the book "Mu Ziyu", Liu Shiyu got up and said excitedly: "Please!" ”

Ouyang Weiwei couldn't help but be surprised.

Liu Shiyu didn't explain, but motioned for her to go to the door with her to greet her.

When he was young, Li Hanyao, who was dressed in an azure brocade robe, with a graceful demeanor and a noble temperament, shook a fan and followed Xi'er in, and saw Liu Shiyu and the two of them hurriedly put away the folding fan, and bowed to the end: "Student Mu Ziyu, I have seen two adults." ”

Ouyang Weiwei looked at the Ruyu Gongzi in front of her and opened her mouth.

Liu Shiyu burst out laughing.

Li Hanyao also straightened up with a smile, looked at the two of them, and praised: "Wearing an official uniform, it is really very dignified." Then his eyes fixed on Liu Shiyu's face, and when he saw that her eyes were red, he asked in surprise: "Why are you still crying when you become an official?" ”

Liu Shiyu: "......"

Can't cry when you become an official?

She turned sideways to invite Li Hanyao in, and said embarrassedly: "My father and mother are against holding an art exhibition. I lifted the girl's message, and my father was speechless. However, my father fell ill because of this, which caused a lot of rumors outside, saying that I was an unfilial daughter, and my husband was a mud that couldn't support the wall......" said and his tears were red again.

She was ashamed and panicked, and thought to herself: "If you say that you are not sad, why are you sad when you see the girl?" I must not let the girl think that I am too weak to be a big deal. So he hurriedly wiped it with a handkerchief, and the more he wiped his tears, the more he wiped.

Li Hanyao suddenly: My father once said that the harm from relatives far exceeds any external harm, and Liu Shiyu was hurt by her parents.
