Shangguan Wan'er returned to her official mansion worriedly, walked into the room, Li Zhen, who was waiting for tea, quickly stood up, he saw Shangguan Wan'er's worried face, so he asked, "What's wrong?"

Shangguan Wan'er sat stunned in her seat for a moment, as if she didn't hear Li Zhen's question, at this time, the maid Xiao'e walked in with two cups of tea, Shangguan Wan'er slowly took a sip of tea, then sighed, and said to Li Zhen: "The Holy Lord ordered Junchen to investigate the assassination case. ”

"Do you think it's inappropriate to come to Junchen to investigate?" asked Li Zhen again.

Shangguan Wan'er shook her head slowly, "This person has always been good at using questions and wielding unscrupulous means, the cases he presided over to investigate will form unjust cases, if he is allowed to investigate the assassination case, I don't know what the result will be, maybe it will eventually become a bitter plan made up by myself." ”

"Not really!"

"What's not!"

Shangguan Wan'er sneered, "Xue Huaiyi was killed in the end, although it was the determination of the saint himself, but it was planned by me, I know her too well, if she regrets it a little, she will definitely be angry with me, and turn around and use this case to punish me, it is completely possible!"

Only then did Li Zhen understand Shangguan Wan'er's worries, it turned out that he was worried that Wu Zetian regretted executing Xue Huaiyi, although it sounded a bit unbelievable, but the holy will was unpredictable, since even Shangguan Wan'er, who knew Wu Zetian best, said this, there must be some basis.

Li Zhen smiled and said: "I have been thinking about this matter just now, this matter should be extremely secret, only the two parties know about it, but this matter actually spread all over the government and the opposition, and it made a lot of noise, and finally even the saint knew about it, this is obviously someone with a heart to make waves, and want to use this assassination case to achieve some kind of goal for himself, and now that Junchen is involved, I think the situation will become more complicated, and it may not evolve into a bitter plan that people are worried about." ”

Shangguan Wan'er pondered for a moment, nodded lightly and said, "You are right, the water in this assassination case is very deep, I don't want to get involved lightly, just watch from the shore, but we must also be vigilant and resolutely stop this case from unfavoring us." ”

Shangguan Wan'er got up and walked a few steps with her hands in her hands, then looked back at Li Zhen and said, "If you have any situation, you must discuss it with me in time, and don't act without permission." ”

Shangguan Wan'er gave up her commanding tone, and changed to a consultative tone to show her respect for Li Zhen, Li Zhen was very satisfied with the change in her attitude, smiled and bowed slightly, "Li Zhen is willing to work for Shangguan Sheren at any time!"

Shangguan Wan'er's face flushed, her white teeth gently bit her plump red lips, her eyes were like waves, and she glanced at him gently, but she didn't know where she thought.

Leaving the palace, Li Zhen returned to his home, and as soon as he entered the door, he heard the giggling laughter of the eldest sister, and a surprise suddenly surged in his heart, the eldest sister was back.

At this time, a maid ran into the house to report, Li Quan came out of the room with Xiu'er in his arms, and smiled at Li Zhen from afar: "My sister is back, won't you come to say hello?"

"When did my sister come back?" Li Zhen asked with a smile.

"I came back yesterday, and I heard you went out too?"

"I escorted the Shangguan Sheren back to their hometown to worship their ancestors, and I only came back this morning. ”

Li Zhen stepped forward and pinched Xiu'er's little face, during the time that the eldest sister was away from home, he had to tease her for a while almost every day, the little guy had already known him, opened his arms, and shouted something vaguely?

Li Zhen wanted to hug her by himself, he hugged the child over, kissed her on her red little face and said with a smile: "Let's not kiss my mother, live with my uncle!"

"What are you talking about?"

Li Quan twisted his ear, hugged the child again, and said with a smile: "Go to lunch, I have something to discuss with you!"

Li Zhen followed his eldest sister into the back hall, the meals were all on the table, but he didn't see Cao Wen, Li Zhen almost didn't see Cao Wen during the time Li Quan went out, it was said that he was going all out to prepare for the imperial examination, and Li Zhen didn't bother to ask him.

"How is the situation of the eldest sister going to Lingzhou?" Li Zhen sat down and asked with a smile.

"You eat first, and then I'll tell you slowly. ”

After Li Quan came back, she was busy dizzy, sorting out the wine shop, counting the inventory, accounting accounts, she didn't have time to think about the Lingzhou Manor, just today at noon when the brother came back, she remembered the matter of the manor, is to discuss the manor with Li Zhen, although the title deed of the manor is in her hands, but she has not signed on it, after all, the Wang family has given up huge interests, without the consent of her brother, she does not dare to accept this interest lightly.

Li Quan handed Xiu'er to Aunt Lin, she went back to the room to get the title deed, put it on the table and pushed it to Li Zhen, "Look at this!"

While eating, Li Zhen looked through the title deed and said with a smile: "The manor of five thousand acres of land, has the eldest sister already bought it?"

"Don't you see that I haven't signed the pledge yet? The title deed is back, but you don't agree, how dare I sign it?"

"Why?"

Li Zhen put down his chopsticks strangely, picked up the title deed and read it carefully, only then did he understand that it was the Wang family's manor, which was transferred to Li Quan at a price of 8,000 yuan, Li Zhen frowned: "5,000 acres of land is only 8,000 yuan, this is too cheap!"

"That's right! The fields outside Luoyang City cost 50 guan yuan a mu, although Lingzhou is a little remote, but 8 guan yuan a mu still costs, these 5,000 mu of land is worth at least 40,000 yuan, but the Wang family sold it to me at a price of 20 percent, although I whispered that the Wang family bought it cheaply, where dare I ask for it? Tell me, can I make this deal?"

"Did Wang Qingyu also go to Lingzhou with you?"

Li Quan nodded, "She said that it was okay to be idle, so she simply accompanied me, in fact, I knew that when she learned that I was going to Lingzhou to buy land, she had already decided to sell the Wang family's manor in Lingzhou to me, and she knew that I only had 10,000 yuan, so she only sold me 8,000 yuan." ”

"Why did she do this?" asked Li Zhen puzzled.

"It's not to repay the favor! She said that you are kind to the Wang family in Songshan, isn't it?"

Li Zhen then remembered the incident of Songshan, it turned out that Wang Qingyu did not forget jì, and borrowed the eldest sister to go to Lingzhou to buy a manor to repay himself, of course, this matter did not have Wang Qingyu's father agreed, and Wang Qingyu did not dare to sell 5,000 land at will, it can be seen that this is also the meaning of the Wang family, Li Zhen couldn't help but have a good impression of Wang Qingyu in his heart.

Li Zhen thought for a while and asked, "Does the eldest sister of that manor want it?"

"How could I not want it?"

Li Quan sighed, "That estate is very suitable for growing grapes in terms of soil quality, sunshine, and irrigation, and it is no less than Gaochang, where I can grow the best grapes and make the best wines, but ...... I don't know what to say. ”

Li Zhen smiled: "If the eldest sister likes that kind of manor, then you can accept it." ”

"But—"

Li Quan hesitated: "The manor of 40,000 yuan, sell it to me for 8,000 yuan, Ah Zhen, this favor is too big, and I am afraid that it will affect your reputation." ”

"I know that I will return the favor to the Wang family in the future, as for my reputation, I know in my heart, and it will not be affected, so the eldest sister will accept it. ”

Li Quan's heart suddenly bloomed, of course she wanted that manor, as long as her brother agreed, she could accept it, Li Quan suddenly said happily: "Since you agreed, then I will sign and draw the pledge." ”

Li Zhen smiled and nodded, Li Quan was overjoyed, and immediately said: "You eat slowly first, and then I will take a good look at the contract, if there is no problem, the deal will be completed the day after tomorrow." ”

The reason why Li Quan hurried back to Luoyang in a hurry was not because she wanted to discuss the affairs of the manor with her brother, but because the imperial examination was about to begin, which was related to her husband's future, as well as her status and fate.

Although I heard that my brother was promoted to the title and became an official, but after all, he was a brother, and the title of Mrs. Decree could not be worn on her head, it was enjoyed by her brother's daughter-in-law.

During this time, Cao Wen worked hard, locked himself in the room and studied day and night, in addition to ensuring her husband's diet and rest, Li Quan also wanted to do something for her husband.

Li Quan thought about it, it is best to ask the Bodhisattva for blessing, it is said that the Manjushri Bodhisattva of Huayan Temple is more effective, it is a must to worship the imperial examination, after eating, Li Quan does not care whether his brother is willing or not, so he forcibly pulled Li Zhen to Huayan Temple to make a wish to Manjushri Bodhisattva.

Li Zhen didn't have anything to do in the afternoon, but he didn't want to ask Cao Wen for any bodhisattva to make a wish, he had always been angry about what Cao Wen had done, and he suspected that when his eldest sister was not in Luoyang, Cao Wen secretly went to find that little mercy again, but he didn't have evidence, so it was not good to say anything?

"Eldest sister, I have something to do in the afternoon, so you can go by yourself!"

"You just said that you will be fine in the afternoon, you want to rest at home, as soon as you say that you will have something to do with me out, are you going to go?" Li Quanxing's eyes widened, and he reached out to pull Li Zhen's ears again.

Li Zhen was helpless, so he had to raise his hand and said, "I'll just accompany you, but I don't want to ask for any bodhisattvas, you go and worship by yourself." ”

"If you don't worship, you won't worship, but don't say it, it's insincere to say it, it's useless for me to kowtow a hundred times!" Li Quan complained while cleaning up, and then took his brother out.

Huayan Temple is not far away, located in Jiashanfang in the south of Nanshi, is a medium-sized temple with more than 300 monks, this temple is most famous, is it enshrined Manjushri Bodhisattva.

The monastery specially built the Wenshu Monastery, and every year a large number of scholars come to worship on incense, asking Manjushri Bodhisattva to bless himself with the imperial examination high school, and the fireworks continue all year round.

As soon as Li Quan entered the monastery, he regretted it a little, only to see the crowd in front of the monastery, at least thousands of scholars were paying homage to Manjushri Bodhisattva, everyone was so pious, it made people feel that the Bodhisattva could not bless them.

Li Quan beat a small drum in her heart, she pulled her brother aside, and said in a low voice: "Ah Zhen, is the Bodhisattva too busy to take care of us?"
