Spring is strong, and there is a woman sitting quietly in the pavilion, half-lying on the edge of the fence, quietly staring at the water under the pavilion and slowly floating under the spring breeze. In his hand, he threw bait of fish into the pond water one after another. Seeing that fish were rushing up to fight for food, the woman raised a light smile, and then soon, the light smile fell again.

The maid ran over in a hurry, squatted down and said, "Miss, the master asked you to go to the study quietly." ”

The woman's hand moved: "Go to the study again?" ”

"Yes." Ming Cicada said: "Miss, go quickly, the master is still waiting, maybe this time ......"

The woman smiled, opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but she still sighed and closed her mouth, obediently got up and tidied up her appearance, and said indifferently: "Let's go." ”

The cicada is her personal maid, and it is the maid that her father personally arranged for her after she had an accident when she was sixteen years old, and she has been by her side for two years. Ming Cicada is very loyal, her mother is her father's slave, and her net worth and life are in her father's hands, so she can't help but have two hearts.

With her as the master, the cicada is also bitter.

"Miss, the slave maid looked at the boy just now, and he was a talent...... On the way, the cicada couldn't help but say to the woman: "The person that the lord fancies, it must not be wrong, Miss will go to take a look quietly this time, if you think it is good, then the lord must ...... this matter"

"Alright." The woman interrupted her loudly, and her tone was still light: "You have praised you before you see anyone, is it possible that you hate to marry." ”

The cicada couldn't help but stomp her feet, and said angrily: "Miss! ”

The woman chuckled, straightened her sideburns, which had been blown away by the breeze, and said softly, "I'll just take a look around the study and come back, don't talk too much." ”

The cicada was suddenly deflated, and was silent for a long time before he whispered: "Miss, there must be that kind of man in the world who doesn't care about this kind of thing, Miss don't give up......"

The woman chuckled, "Maybe." ”

It's just that who doesn't know that Miss Liu Biyan of the Liu family, this talented girl of the Beijing teacher who was once talented and the best man, is already a broken flower?

Walking to the study, Liu Biyan really only looked around and planned to go back to her boudoir. She didn't have the heart to see the young talents that her father had "discovered", and she didn't care, and of course she wouldn't care.

Leaving the study quietly, the cicada's mouth was cocked high, undoubtedly dissatisfied with his master's perfunctory behavior. Liu Biyan was much more relaxed, thinking of the young and vigorous son's appearance of arrogance and ignorance, she couldn't help but shake her head.

"I'm sorry."

She thought about it, and she didn't watch out for it, and she had come to a corner, and happened to collide with someone walking around the corner. Before he could say anything, he heard the man's gentle apology, and the reassuring voice sounded again: "Is the girl okay?" ”

Liu Biyan raised her head, and the sun was shining in front of her, which made her squint, and she couldn't see the man's appearance clearly.

"See Master Lee!" The cicada was taken aback, squatted down to give blessings, and pulled Liu Biyan again.

Liu Biyan came back to her senses, although she didn't know who this person was, listening to the name of the cicada, she must also be a courtier, so she half-squatted and said, "I've seen Lord Li." ”

Ming Cicada was a little anxious, and hurriedly explained: "Don't blame Lord Li, my young lady didn't mean to collide with Lord Li's ......"

Liu Biyan is the daughter of the official family, and this point is still smooth: "It's the little girl who has no form and collided with the adult." ”

"Miss Liu?" I only heard the nice voice whisper to her, and then smiled gently: "It's okay, Miss Liu has something to do, let's go and get busy, I still have some miscellaneous matters to discuss in the next looking for Lord Liu." ”

"Your Excellency, please."

Liu Biyan got out of the way, bowed her head slightly and asked Lord Li to go first, listening to the gentle footsteps gradually moving away, Liu Biyan breathed a sigh of relief, raised her head and was about to call the cicada back, but saw the girl looking at the direction where Master Li left stupidly, with a yearning face.

"Singing cicadas." Liu Biyan called her: "What are you looking at?" ”

"Miss, that's Lord Li!" Ming Cicada said excitedly to Liu Biyan: "Doesn't Miss know Lord Li?" ”

Liu Biyan shook her head honestly.

"Alas...... The slaves and maids have forgotten, the young lady has stayed at home for the past two years, of course she doesn't know ......" At this point, the cicada immediately shut up and looked at Liu Biyan with concern, for fear that she would scold.

Liu Biyan smiled bitterly, didn't scold her, and walked towards her courtyard.

Mingcia knew that she had said the wrong thing, and she didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore, so she followed Liu Biyan and walked all the way to Biluo Courtyard, waiting for Liu Biyan to retire the hairpin ring, and only wore two homely spring clothes.

“…… That Master Li's name is Li Ming, the word remembers it, his background is not good, I heard that he is a rural student, and he came up step by step by relying on the imperial examination. The cicada gently tapped Liu Biyan's legs, and when she saw that she closed her eyes and couldn't hide her words, she told Liu Biyan the basic situation of Master Li.

"Although Lord Li is only in his thirties this year, he has already studied for a bachelor from the cabinet of the fourth grade, especially in the past two years, Lord Li has won the trust of the emperor, and I heard that the emperor wants to send him as a local Taoist and promote him exceptionally. The master is a bachelor from the second-grade cabinet, and Lord Li is a subordinate of the master, but the master is also very polite to Lord Li. The lord once told his wife that Mr. Li happened to be heard by the slave maid, and the lord said that Mr. Li was steady at a young age, although he always looked ahead and backward, he could consider the problem comprehensively, and often thought of places that others could not think of. If the emperor really delegated him to an official to train him, presumably Lord Li would definitely become an important minister of the court in the future. ”

Liu Biyan opened her eyes slightly, Ming Chan thought she was interested in this, and hurriedly continued: "Master Li has no identity background, and it is all up to him to achieve today's achievements by his own efforts, and now many students take Master Li as an example. He never sells his literary talents, only does practical things, because he is a close minister of the Son of Heaven, what he says can always reach the heavens, and half of his excerpts are for the benefit of the country and the people, and the emperor approved several articles, and the people also benefited...... Therefore, the slave maid was very excited to see Master Li today, although the slave maid had seen Master Li several times, it was the first time for the slave maid to face Master Li so closely......"

As he spoke, the cicada began to show that idiot expression again.

Liu Biyan looked at her appearance and smiled, but she still let out a long low sigh, lowered her eyelids, and closed her eyes to recuperate.

That night, Master Liu came to ask Liu Biyan what she thought of the boy in the study today, Liu Biyan sank her eyebrows, and whispered: "Father, there is no need to choose a good son-in-law for his daughter." They all looked at their father's face, looked at the status of the Liu family, and how could they have put their daughter in their eyes. ”

Master Liu's heart ached slightly, and he looked at his only beloved daughter with pity: "But you are always a daughter, and you always have to get married." Are you really willing to be lonely and die old? ”

Liu Biyan smiled slightly: "It's a lonely old age, and my daughter doesn't feel pity." The vicious daughter of the world is not unseen, and the daughter is only afraid of the second slander of the rumors. ”

Old Man Liu sighed and walked away.

A few days later, the celebrities in Beijing held a flower viewing party, and Liu Biyan also took the post.

The flower viewing party in Beijing is presided over by the eldest princess of Funing, in order to match unmarried young people in Beijing. Spring is a good time to go green, holding such a flower viewing party, handsome men and beauties are naturally dizzying, and the eldest princess of Funing also wants to match marriage very much, and has been addicted to being a matchmaker.

When there are more people, it is natural that there will be a lot of rumors in Beijing.

"Liu Biyan is also here, she has been out of the house for two years, and she is finally willing to step out of the house."

"How dare she go out again...... I thought she was going to die of old age in Liufu. Hmph, what about a talented girl, don't you end up with a situation where no one wants to marry......"

"Shh......h Don't sprinkle salt on other people's wounds, she is also a victim, think about it if you had suffered such a thing, you wouldn't have the concentration of others. ”

"Oh, if I had happened to her, I wouldn't have the shame to testify in court...... Either I cut my hair early and stay away from the red dust and not disgrace my family, or I cut myself off and pick up a clean ......."

Liu Biyan didn't eavesdrop on purpose, but they were very loud and didn't care about her, they must have said it to her on purpose, so as to humiliate her.

She had already experienced this kind of suffering two years ago, and two years was enough time to heal her wounds. She still has two points of determination.

The cicada was angry, and Liu Biyan said: "I'm a little thirsty, and the cicada will help me get some fruit." ”

The cicada responded, glared at the gossiping people fiercely, and was busy picking fruit for Liu Biyan.

Liu Biyan found a path and slowly walked towards the reed river.

“…… Sorry for the interruption. When she got closer, she saw a person squatting here, playing in the water, and just about to leave, the man stood up.

Tall, with a soft complexion, and a smile on the corner of her mouth, she seemed to be surprised to see her, but quickly hid her surprise, nodded lightly, and said, "Miss Liu, it's a coincidence, we met again." ”

"Hello Master Li." Liu Biyan blessed slightly, perhaps because she heard the cicada talk about his life, Liu Biyan admired him more in her heart: "Lord Li also came to participate in the flower viewing party?" ”

Li Ming nodded with a slight smile and said, "Li has not married yet, and he has also received a post from the eldest princess of Funing." ”

Liu Biyan was a little surprised: "Master Li hasn't married yet?" ”

"Yes." Li Ming smiled, and Liu Biyan just realized what she had just asked, and she couldn't help but feel like her face was on fire, and she almost ran away.

"Miss Liu also wants to come here to be quiet?" Li Ming asked softly and said, "It was Li who occupied this place first." ”

"No......" Liu Biyan was a little cramped: "The little girl is just walking around......"

"Oh...... Just take a walk? Li Ming chuckled: "In that case, if Miss Liu doesn't mind, let's go for a walk with Li." ”

Cherry blossom viewing parties are meant to be a banquet for single men and women to get along, so it's not too much to invite. But Liu Biyan never expected Li Ming to invite her.

Miss Liu seems to be ...... Don't want to? Li Ming still has a gentle face, and his eyes are shining, making people unable to take their eyes off: "It's Li who is abrupt." ”

Liu Biyan just reacted, opened her mouth, and was about to speak, but she heard the cicada crying out anxiously: "Miss! Miss, where are you! ”

Liu Biyan pursed her lips, nodded to Li Ming, and said, "I've disturbed Lord Li's interest, I'm afraid it's inconvenient today, and the little girl will leave." ”

The slender but proud figure receded shallowly,
