Chapter 281: Preparations
……
By the time Liu Wen and Liu Xian woke up, it was the second day.
After the two of them figured out what happened, their faces were full of fear for the rest of their lives.
"What does the eldest brother mean is that it was the second Miss Zuo of the Taifu Mansion who saved us?" Liu Wen looked vacantly ahead.
Liu Xianjunxiu had a deep puzzle on his face: "But why did she do this?" ”
Liu Dian shook his head: "She didn't say it, she just said that she would know when the time came." ”
Liu Wen frowned: "Our news is nothing more than an inquiry from the market, the second lady of the Zuo family still has a good reputation in the early years, and I heard that she has been praised by the saint as a man." However, in recent years, it has been very low-key, and there are no rumors in the market. The only thing I know is that she has not discussed her marriage for a long time. ”
Liu Dian sighed.
Yesterday, he confidently revealed the identity of the other party, but unexpectedly, he made a big oolong, and he didn't even figure out whether the other party was a man or a woman.
He has wandered the streets and lakes, and has seen all kinds of women, or the beautiful little jasper of the well-read family, or the spicy daughter of the rivers and lakes, and the intelligent woman who is not inferior to the man, but it is the first time he has seen someone like the second miss of the Zuo family.
It doesn't matter if she looks very good, but the most amazing thing is her graceful and suave meaning.
Although she is a daughter, Liu Dian can only come up with this word to describe it, which is really inferior to a man. The legendary celestial is like her.
"When did we get involved with the Taifu Mansion?" Liu Xian's words pulled Liu Dian out of his memories.
Liu Wen said thoughtfully: "No, strictly speaking, it barely has some origins." ”
"What is the origin?" Liu Dian said eagerly, rather than settling accounts with the people behind the scenes, he wanted to understand the reason for Zuo Di's help.
"The spy department was handed over to Princess Shining by the saint, and Princess Shining has a very good personal relationship with the second lady of the Zuo family, and everyone in Changping knows about it."
The more Liu Wen spoke, the more sure he became, he groped twice and grabbed Liu Dian's shoulder, and his tone was a little excited: "Big brother, the spy department is really taken seriously." ”
Liu Dian understood, he supported Liu Wen and nodded: "I should accept her, as long as I can save the two of you, I will promise to give her my life." Besides, you don't know that the old lady almost went yesterday, and it was her generous application of the elixir that saved the old lady's life. ”
Hearing Liu Dian's words, Liu Wen and Liu Xian's faces were a little unsightly.
The two of them have been smart since childhood, if they were not disabled and could not participate in the scientific examination, I am afraid that Liu's father's dream would have come true.
They know very well that in the eyes of those in power, there is no such thing as mercy, and how much danger they face if they receive great favors.
Liu Dian looked at the two of them, and he didn't understand their thoughts.
He patted the hands of his two younger brothers and said with a forced smile: "After all, it will be a matter of the future, and I look at that young lady and she is not a vicious and cunning person." You haven't gone to see Ah Ji yet, he can only lie on the couch now for fear that his stomach is full of complaints, let's go, let's go see him together. ”
Liu Dian picked up Liu Xian, who couldn't walk, and then skillfully put Liu Wen's hand on his shoulder to guide him, and the three brothers walked to Liu's bedroom.
Liu Dian explained everything to the two younger brothers, but only concealed one.
That is the mastermind behind the Six Tigers of Zhongxi, others may not know, but he once overheard it from Cui Guangyuan, it was Lu Xingbang and Lu Guozhang.
Lu Xingbang is a person who can compete with Zuo Zhangheng, Liu Dian just wants to do his best to protect his relatives at home.
Thinking of the undercurrent between the Zuo family and the Lu family, Liu Dian felt that he had probably guessed the purpose of the second miss Zuo.
……
Taifu Mansion Xiaoxiang Pavilion.
Since saving Liu's family that day, Zuo Di has been buried in his home and has not been out, claiming that he needs time to sort out the information.
Xiao Zhen came twice, except for being ridiculed by Zuo Di for Nanlian and Jiang Ming's clumsy acting skills, she didn't ask anything else.
Li Qiao sent someone to ask when he would officially take over the spy department, but he was told by Zuo Di that he needed to wait a little longer.
At this time, it was in the study of Xiaoxiang Pavilion.
There were stacks of densely written scrolls on the desk, and there were several crumpled and crumpled discarded scrolls scattered on the floor.
Zuo Di is sitting at the desk, sometimes biting the pen with a sad face, and sometimes writing quickly with a pen.
Erbao, who was waiting for the pen and ink next to him, had a familiar look on his face, and it seemed that such days had passed for many days.
Finally, Zuo Di finished writing the last word with a relieved smile on his face.
"Smack."
She threw the pen away, and regardless of where the ink-stained pen had been dropped, she stood up and stretched hard.
"I didn't work so hard in the college entrance examination back then."
Zuo Di looked at the stacks of paper manuscripts on the table, and suddenly felt a sense of accomplishment.
"You two arrange each stack of scrolls in the order marked in the lower right corner, and then sew them into a booklet. But be careful, I won't be able to spare you if you get confused. ”
Baoya and Baozhi looked at each other, college entrance examination? What is the college entrance examination? When did the master pass the college entrance examination, how did they not know?
They both saw how hard the master worked these days, and they didn't dare to slack off, and each of them began to sort out a stack.
Zuo Di had already taught the people around him Arabic numerals, so it was very easy for Erbao to arrange those scrolls.
Curious, Bao Ya took the time to glance at the top of one of the stacks.
I saw that the four sides of the scroll were left blank, and only one line of large characters in the center was left:
On the division of labor and responsibilities of spies.
……
Shimen Lane Liu family.
Liu Dian didn't know what medicine Zuo Di fed to the old lady at the beginning, but he was very surprised to see that the old lady who was bedridden all day was not only no longer sleepy every day, but could occasionally walk around on the ground, which was both surprised and shocked.
With such a miracle medicine, the second lady actually took it out without hesitation, and Liu Dian only felt that his heart was heavy.
I don't know if it was the death of the Four Tigers in Zhongxi that made Lu Xingbang jealous, or the name of Yang Jiajun that scared the old fox, in short, the Liu family has been very stable recently, and Cui Guangyuan seems to have forgotten Liu Dian and never appeared again.
In contrast to Liu's mother's condition, it is Liu's nationality.
Liu Ji was naturally active, and he couldn't be idle at all, this time the bone injury was like killing him, and he complained day and night, thinking that he could go to the ground to move.
But Liu Dian remembered Lang Zhong's instructions, he already had a younger brother who couldn't walk, and he couldn't say anything to make Liu Ji also crippled.
The only thing he was worried about was that Miss Zuo had not moved since she identified herself, and he still didn't know what Miss Zuo was trying to do to his family.
Not only that, the Imperial Observatory issued an order to suspend the affairs of the Espionage Department, and the personnel in the department did not need to be ordered, and stayed at home and waited for the notice.
Liu Wen comforted him that as long as the court did not come down and dismissed, he would still be the director of the Espionage Department, and it would be useless to worry.
Liu Dian is actually not worried, after this incident, he has no thoughts about being an official, and even vaguely has the idea of resigning, wishing to stay at home every day to guard the dishonest Liu.
On this day, Liu Dian was waiting for the old lady and his brothers to have breakfast, and was practicing in the courtyard with a stone lock, when there was a sound of hurried footsteps outside the door.
Immediately after-
"Director Liu is not at home? The adults in the Imperial Historical Observatory came down to order and summoned the personnel of the Spy Department to report to the yamen. ”
The voice that spoke was recognized by Liu Dian as Deputy Director Chen He.
After Liu Dian held his breath and landed the stone lock steadily, Fang Chang exhaled turbid breath and replied in a loud voice: "Okay! ”
