An Ge was dumbfounded, and it took a while to come back to his senses, and he shook his head again and again: "Lord Xu, it's just a joke, don't take it seriously!" ”

Xu Qiyan said solemnly: "A gentleman's word, the horse is difficult to chase." Don't worry, Miss An, I will be responsible for you to the end. ”

An Ge covered his forehead speechlessly, and sighed: "Lord Xu doesn't know, my father loves to joke with his students, and he said to every student he has sponsored, 'When you get on the list, you will come back and marry my daughter', so Lord Xu doesn't have to take it seriously!" ”

…… Xu Qiyan was stunned for a while before accepting this matter, it turned out that An Youping was casting a wide net?

But he still didn't want to give up like that, and argued: "Even if your father says this to every student, I am the champion, and now I proposed it first, so naturally I should come to the agreement of the year......"

"Let's not talk about this for the time being, okay?" An Ge hurriedly interrupted him, and said in distress, "I have offended Lord Liu now, if he really drives me out of the mansion, I really don't know how to survive in the capital......

"The Holy God has given me a mansion, if you are willing to marry me first, you can live in my mansion, but I promise to respect you as a guest until I officially meet my father-in-law and teacher and ...... you."

Xu Qiyan saw that she was aggrieved again, and he didn't intend to force her, so he hurriedly changed his words: "If you still want to be self-reliant, you are brilliant, even if you break away from the harem newspaper, it is not impossible to write a script and sell it in the bazaar, but it may have wronged you, and your life will be poorer...... Oh yes, although the "Chaozheng Newspaper" that I am responsible for compiling is not an ad hoc organization like the "Harem Newspaper", and I am not like Liu Yongxu, who can directly jump out of the ministry and appoint subordinates by himself, but it is feasible for me to come forward to buy your article, but it is ...... The government newspaper is different from the harem newspaper, you may have to understand the affairs of the government for a period of time before you can start writing. ”

An Ge pondered for a moment and said seriously: "Thank you, there are so many paths to choose from, I am much more stable in my heart." But now that Liu Yongxu has not clearly opened his mouth to drive me away, I don't plan to take the initiative to leave for the time being. ”

"Actually, the queen mother appreciates you so much, and there are two unfinished scripts in the harem newspaper that you occupy, and it is not easy for Liu Yongxu to open his mouth and drive you away." Xu Qiyan looked at her worriedly, "It's just that I'm worried that Liu Yongxu will target you in the future, and even the rest of the Mansion will ......."

"Judging from the past relationship, Lord Liu is not like this, and he has the grace of knowing me, if he hadn't accepted me into the mansion, I would have been unable to live in the capital. However......" An Ge also felt very chilled when he thought of Liu Yongxu's accusations against himself today.

It seems that she should hide her mistakes for Zhang Lianfeng and him, and her pursuit of the justice she deserves affects them, that is, she is selfish and she is not kind.

Why?

Everyone is just for themselves, why do you want to label others like this?

also made her understand a truth, relying too much on others for everything is to cut off the back road for herself. Living under Liu Yongxu is by no means a long-term solution.

No matter whether Liu Yongxu will reuse her as before in the future, no matter how long the palace can provide him with protection, he has to find a way out as soon as possible, he can enter the palace from time to time, and he can also ensure that he has food, clothing and shelter, and he will not go out and show his face so as not to be talked about by others.

Xu Qiyan's proposal is not bad, but now that he has all his plans, she doesn't plan to agree, who knows if Xu Qiyan will turn his face and deny people like Liu Yongxu after he completely dies to her heart in the future?

For the time being, it doesn't seem like a person to rely on.

So it's better to fool the past, An Ge hurriedly thanked him: "Thank you, Lord Xu, An Ge will definitely come to the door to thank you one day." ”

Xu Qiyan opened his mouth, seeing the politeness and detachment in An Ge's eyes, he didn't say anything.

After sending Xu Qiyan away, An Ge returned to the mansion, since he still had to get along with the people here before he found his next home, then even if he was stiff, he had to be low and small, and begged for a few mouthfuls of food temporarily.

She wanted to cry and apologize in front of Liu Yongxu, but she didn't expect Liu Yongxu to see her come back, and took the initiative to call her to the study and said to her: "An Ge, Fang is not right, I have been with Zhang Lianfeng for several years, she was there when our harem newspaper was first run, and she worked with me to make the harem newspaper to this point, and now that she is in prison, I feel really uncomfortable...... But in the final analysis, it was her fault that Zhang Lianfeng was greedy for everyone's money, and now she is being imprisoned is also her own fault, ...... Stay in the Mansion and do your own thing, I won't treat you badly. ”

An Ge showed a touch of joy on his face, and hurriedly said: "Thank you, Lord Liu, An Ge will definitely live up to Lord Liu's trust." ”

Liu Yongxu waved his hand: "Go and get busy with you." ”

"Yes." An Ge answered and retreated, and after stepping out of the door, the two people inside and outside the study had cold faces.

Yes, she can't leave the Di Bao Mansion for the time being, and the Di Bao Mansion can't do without her, there are still two unfinished scripts on the "Harem Di Bao", which are extremely popular in front of the palace concubine and other noble ladies in the capital, if she is really driven away, how can Liu Yongxu explain to the queen?

*

Zhang Luo'er begged for a long time, and made a lot of silver, before the jailer agreed to let her in, she carried the food box to the innermost part of the women's prison, only to see Zhang Lianfeng, who was haggard and unhuman.

Zhang Lianfeng was sleeping with her back to the cell door, but suddenly heard a small sobbing sound, she turned her head suddenly, and saw Zhang Luo'er kneeling at the door crying, she hurriedly ran over, and looked at her daughter distressedly with the cell door: "Luo'er, why are you here?" ”

"Mother, my brother and I are very worried about you...... Now that you're locked up here, what are my brother and I going to do? Zhang Luo'er grabbed Zhang Lianfeng's hand and cried.

Zhang Lianfeng held back her tears and explained in a low voice: "Good boy, I have already arranged for you and your brother before I did that. I have long used the silver, and recorded the names of you and your brother in the name of a Zhuang family with the same surname Zhang, and that family has already taken the silver given by my mother and left Beijing, so it will not be leaked. ”

Zhang Luo'er was puzzled: "Mother, what do you mean by this?" Dad doesn't want us anymore, don't you want us either? ”

"No, your father is an exiled corrupt official, and what I have done now has been exposed...... If you two are still related to me and your father, your future will be ruined. Zhang Lianfeng pulled out her hand, touched her face, and said, "Our Luo'er is so good-looking, smart and talented, who will we marry in the future?" Your brother also works in his studies, so there is still a way out for the imperial examination in the future. The last three generations of you are honest and responsible bankers, and no one will look down on you. ”

Zhang Luo'er realized that maybe the Zhuang family is not as popular as the identity of the family, but he can also strive for a good life through his own efforts. If there is an exiled father and a mother who is in prison, her brother can't participate in the imperial examination, and she will marry in the future, who will dare to ask her?

Zhang Lianfeng saw that she was silent, and hurriedly explained: "You and your brother don't go out of the door on weekdays, and your mother doesn't like to interact with others very much, and the relatives at home have long broken off the relationship, so if you don't mention it, no one will know that you are my daughter." You two are safe and bold to live your life, and don't mention to anyone that you have a relationship with me......"

"Mother!" Zhang Luoer couldn't cry anymore.

Zhang Lianfeng chuckled: "It's okay, although the house has been raided, but in the suburbs of Beijing, I have already prepared a house, which is also recorded in the hands of that Zhuang family, you and your brother move over as soon as possible." There is also a lot of money that my mother has saved over the years, and a lot of it is hidden there, enough for you and your brother to live for a while. Don't come to see me in prison again in the future, otherwise our relationship will be known by many people, and then my years of caution and future prison disasters will all be in vain! ”

Zhang Luo'er cried close to Zhang Lianfeng's hand: "Mother, but the silver will always run out one day, and my brother and I will have to find something to make a living, right?" My brother has read books and writes well, so I don't have to worry about having no way out, but what about me? Am I going to wait to get married in that house on the outskirts of Beijing? ”

Zhang Lianfeng wiped her eyes for her and said, "My mother has arranged it, if you are about to run out of money, go to the Dibao Mansion to find Master Liu, I have a good relationship with him for many years, and you will definitely be able to do the errands of the Dibao Mansion." It's just that...... If you really go, you must be careful of that An Ge, my mother is in prison because of her! ”

"Ange?" Zhang Luo'er pondered for a moment, and immediately knelt down and kowtowed to Zhang Lianfeng, "Mother, don't worry, Luo'er and my brother will be fine, wait for my mother to come out!" ”

After coming out of prison, Zhang Luoer and her brother Zhang Ci hurriedly went to the residence on the outskirts of Beijing, dragged out a box locked for several layers from under the bed, opened it and counted it, and the silver in it was only enough for her and her brother to eat and drink for a year.

Zhang Ci was so anxious that he kept beating his head: "How is this good?" Now I still have to prepare for the imperial examination, you can't let me go out to earn a living, right? If I really go out to set up a stall to write for others, and show my face, after I win the list in the future, I will be talked about by others, how embarrassing will it be? ”

Zhang Luoer gritted her teeth, made up her mind, and said, "Brother, you study hard here, my mother showed me the way to live before I was imprisoned, and I went out to make money." ”

When Zhang Ci heard this, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, nodded and said, "That's it." ”

Zhang Luo'er's eyes suddenly sank, and she stared at Zhang Ci: "Brother, you just agreed?" Don't dissuade? You don't want to go out and make money, I'll be fine when I go out? ”

Zhang Ci was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "I didn't mean that, you said that your mother left you a way to live, what a careful person our mother is?" And she has always loved you and me, and the way she left you to live must be appropriate. Sister, now our father and mother are like this, so our brother and sister depend on each other, and when my brother wins the list, he will definitely bring you to enjoy happiness in the future. ”

"Yes, we are dependent on each other, so I provide my brother with education, and my brother has to be good to me." After Zhang Luo'er finished speaking meaningfully, she stopped looking at him.

Besides, I didn't go to the mansion just to make money and survive.

Ange ...... You hurt my mother, I definitely don't want you to end well!
