In Liufu Garden, the woman who almost encountered an accident last night sat in the gazebo, with several exquisite pastries on the table in front of her and never moved, she turned her head from time to time to look in the direction of the entrance, as if she was waiting for someone.

It was the cherry blossom season, a petal was mixed in the tea, the woman picked up the teacup and drank it, and did not notice that it was wrong, and the maid who came with her saw the appearance of the master's soul, and smiled:

"Miss, are you waiting for Liu Gongzi or Wang Gongzi?"

Helan turned her head when she heard this, revealing a bright smile, and then scratched the itchy flesh of the maid who grew up together since childhood, and pretended to be angry and said:

"You're embarrassed to say that I didn't even know that I was kidnapped yesterday?"

The maid couldn't stand this the most, and begged for mercy again and again:

"Miss, the slave knows that she is wrong, in the future, I will stand by the bed and guard when you sleep, even if it is a candle in the cave room."

Helan, who should have been even more angry, suddenly stopped his movements and said with a serious face:

"Xiao Ning, you and I can make any trouble between you, and you can't talk nonsense in front of Liu Ergongzi."

"Oh."

The maid answered, knowing that the master was for her own good, and asked in a low voice:

"Miss, do you really like Second Son Liu?"

"Why do you ask?"

"I always feel that you are very restrained when you are with him, and it is not the same as usual, just like ......"

Yahuan said this, hesitated, Helan guessed his thoughts, and answered:

"Afraid of him?"

Yahuan nodded cautiously and continued:

"Xiao Ning thinks that husband and wife should be the closest people in the world, even if they can't grind their ears and temples and follow the example of Zhang Chang's thrush, they should be like the lord and the lady, respect each other like guests, and they should never be afraid, if they live like this for a lifetime, they are too wronged."

The woman smiled slightly:

"Since ancient times, husbands have been wives, women have three obedience and four virtues, and there is nothing wrong with being afraid of your husband, and you are also afraid of the old lady, aren't you wronged?"

Yahuan smiled and said:

"The old lady gives me a salary, and if you are wronged, you will be wronged."

Helan smiled, looked in the direction of the courtyard again, and couldn't help thinking about Yahuan's words in her heart.

As the ambassador of the banknote and paper bureau, his father's official position of Zheng Jiupin is inferior everywhere in the capital full of powerful people, if he can marry into the Liu family, it is already considered a high climb, not to mention that the second son of Liu is willing to give himself a position as a wife.

She doesn't remember what happened yesterday exactly, but she knows that someone saved her in times of danger, and when she woke up again, she was already in her bed the next morning.

The parents came and asked a lot of questions, and Helan knew what they were worried about, and made it clear that she had not lost her innocence.

The Liu family is the highest branch that the He family can climb, if they are defiled, the Liu family will definitely withdraw from the marriage without hesitation, and the father's efforts over the years will be in vain.

……

Just thinking about it, a figure appeared in the direction of the entrance of the courtyard, with a hand-cranked folding fan from far and near, it was Liu Baoqing, the second son of Liu.

Seeing the woman, the young man subconsciously showed an elegant smile, and Helan also smiled, as if she had been waiting for the other party for a long time.

"Good work." The woman did not ask about the outcome of the matter immediately, but took a handkerchief and gently wiped the sweat from the other party's forehead.

Liu Baoqing came to the table and sat down, and said softly:

"The matter has been done, Song Ke will send someone over in the afternoon, that person has suffered a little, it is estimated that he will not be able to get off the ground for ten days and half a month, let me recuperate for a while, there are all kinds of supplements in the house."

"It's too much trouble for you."

"What's the trouble or not, he saved you, it's tantamount to giving me a heavenly favor, what is a little outside the body?"

As the young man spoke, he picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip, and continued:

"According to the people present, this person is extraordinary, and more than a dozen officials can easily get close to him, I want to wait for him to recover and invite him to be a guard at a high price, so that you can feel at ease when you go out."

The woman didn't shirk and asked, "Presumably I owe a lot of favors this time, right?" ”

"It's nothing, it's just an outsider."

"Do you really plan to support Song Ke? I heard that he has stayed in the Criminal Department all these years, except for the methods of torturing people and the smoothness of officialdom, he has no other skills at all. ”

Liu Baoqing said with a smile:

"At that time, Liu Muqing was also unknown in the Ministry of Industry for more than ten years, and later he was promoted to the Ministry of Officials, and he went all the way up, and even the previous generation of family heads looked away."

After the man finished speaking, he seemed to be hungry, so he directly picked up an osmanthus cake with his hand and stuffed it into his mouth, took another sip of tea and went down, eating not at all like a child of the big clan, wiped his hands on his clothes casually, and continued:

"I've already given Song Ke a backer, if he has the ability to be the second Liu Muqing, it would be better, if he is short-sighted and staring at the little profit of the household, he has the right to raise a useless dog, anyway, the Liu family has cultivated a lot of cases over the years, and he is not one of them."

When the woman heard this bold remark, she subconsciously looked around, but the other party waved her hand and said:

"Don't worry, I dare to say this even in front of the head of the family. The wealth obtained by relying on the power of one person is not more than three generations at best, and if you do not hesitate to squander it, you will not be able to hold even one generation.

The dynasty has been in the past 700 years, and there are countless Ming monarchs and virtuous ministers, among which I admire the most are Emperor Shun 600 years ago and the empress 300 years ago, do you know why? ”

Helan thought for a moment and said:

"One brought the dynasty to its apex, and the other was appointed to become the lord of Zhongxing, and they both brought prosperity for more than a hundred years."

The man nodded and said:

Not only that, but also their means, decisive but not reckless, laid out many years in advance, and the shot was the momentum of thunder, sweeping away the old ministers in the Qing Dynasty, and solving the redundant corruption of officials from the root.

In this regard, Emperor Shun did it more thoroughly, established the Qingwen Pavilion, took materials from the Han scholars, and strictly censored them, so as to avoid the big clans from secretly making moves. ”

Speaking of this, the man smiled, and the woman couldn't help but quip:

"I can't imagine that you, a son from a famous family, hate the nepotism in the court so much?"

"If I read too many books, I will inevitably give birth to the cynicism of a scholar, and I will scold the cook when I am full, and it seems that I am not a gentleman."

The man laughed at himself, ate a few more pastries, clapped his hands and got up, and said:

"I still have to go to the head of the family to report about Song Ke, you can do it yourself."

The woman nodded, watching the other leave.

Liu Baoqing walked out of the distance, looked back at the woman in the pavilion, his eyes were kind, he took a fancy to the other party, not a good face in the mouth of outsiders, but her knowledge.

The wife he wants is to be able to echo a few words from the side when he complains, and help analyze the situation, instead of just burying his head in firewood, rice, oil and salt.

The other party may always show humility in front of him intentionally or unintentionally because of his background, but in fact, it is not necessary, because in his original era, women have a new set of three obedience and four virtues......

In the prison of the Criminal Department, Wang Yijing had a dream.

In the dream, he was wearing a black dress, on which the dragon pattern was embroidered with gold thread, and when he raised his hand, the aura of heaven and earth gathered, and everyone below worshipped.

With a flick of the big sleeves, the entire star field was shocked, the young man was complacent, and sat on the throne next to him.

He screamed and opened his eyes, and found himself lying on a soft bed, the hot feeling on his ass was still there, and he turned his head to see a woman covered in a veil who was carefully drugged him.
