In front of the city gate, Master Liu said that he didn't sleep well last night, and refused the invitation of Guozi Jian Xu to sacrifice wine in the same car.

He doesn't have the heart to talk to anyone right now!

He and Mrs. Liu looked at each other, and they both silently listened to the follow-up of the soft voice.

Especially Master Liu, he doesn't admit it with his mouth, but he can listen carefully with his ears.

[Even if the emperor's father doesn't linger in the harem now, he still has to give the mother who gave birth to a son and a daughter decent. 】

[Therefore, he wanted to give his grandfather a chance to be promoted this time, so he asked someone to ask you, 'Pan Zhishui, what should I do'. 】

Old Man Liu's face was straight.

He also wants to be promoted, firstly, to do things for the people, and secondly, he also wants to earn face for his daughter!

The grandfather is promoted, and the five princes are not despised by others in the palace.

Master Liu immediately thought about it.

- Pan Zhishui, what should I do?

The emperor wanted to send him to dredge the Yellow River Valley?

This is to ask him, if he is sent over, how can he help Pan Ji, who has just been promoted a few days ago, the governor of the river?

While Master Liu was thinking about it, the palace chariot had already traveled far away.

The sedan chair of the Liu concubine, which was closest to them, also slowly left the sight.

[Grandfather, it would be nice if you answered like that......]

The soft and glutinous voice went farther and farther, and it was difficult to hear clearly.

Old Madam Liu was suddenly anxious, "Master, are you sure?" Did you answer the question? ”

"When I get to Akiyama, I want to find a way to see Concubine Liu and Xiao Gege!"

Only when you are close can you hear the voice of your little granddaughter.

Master Liu blew his beard and glared, "Don't be shocked, little Gege!" ”

The hundred officials waited for the palace to go away, and then they all got into their own carriages and drove towards Akiyama one after another.

As soon as the curtain fell, the sound of horses' hooves and wheels was heard all the way.

The old couple of the Liu family spoke softly, and others couldn't hear it.

Master Liu pondered and asked, "Does my daughter know about Xiao Gege?" ”

Old Madam Liu hesitated, but quickly shook her head, "When I entered the palace with a full moon of Xiao Gege, Lan Niang didn't seem to know, and the fifth prince didn't react. It seems that only I can hear Xiao Gege's voice, and now there is an old man. ”

Master Liu was overjoyed and proud, "My granddaughter is close to us!" ”

Old Madam Liu glared at him, "Then don't answer the wrong question in front of the emperor and embarrass Xiao Gege!" It's just a matter of demoting yourself to an official position, it's a big deal to go back and sell sweet potatoes, but if you implicate your daughter and Xiao Gege, I'm not done with you! ”

Master Liu waved his hand.

"'Pan Zhishui, what should I do'...... I know the content of the emperor's question in advance, and I will prepare for two days, Madame, rest assured, I will not answer wrong. ”

The emperor wanted to send him to control the water, so he went to drink tea with several civil officials at the river in the past two days and ask for advice.

"Let Zhang San buy a few more books for me, and I'll study them all night."

Old Madam Liu breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this.

That's a lot of preparation.

It's much safer than answering on the fly.

If this is the case, the master still answers wrong, then it is no wonder that the emperor does not like to use him.

The couple discussed for a while and tacitly agreed, "Since they don't know about Xiao Gege's affairs, you know and I know, don't leak anything." ”

The granddaughter gave him a thorough question, in case the emperor knew, wouldn't it be cheating?

Master Liu, who wants to be smart and break back the emperor's impression, resolutely keeps it a secret!

"If Xiao Gege has anything to say about his daughter and the fifth prince, madam, you have to find a way to enter the palace and tell them."

"That's for sure!"

Two days later, the ancestor worship of Akiyama was successfully carried out under the auspices of the abbot of Akiyama Temple.

The emperor had to stay for three more days, reciting the sacrificial texts with a vegetarian diet, and all the officials would accompany him.

During this period, Xiao Yunzhou summoned many ministers to go to the imperial court to answer questions and deal with political affairs.

Finally, on the third day, it was the turn of the Liu family master who had been waiting for a long time.

The one who came to invite someone turned out to be Wei Zheng, the great eunuch in front of the emperor.

Wei Zheng smiled, not only respectful to the old man of the Liu family all the way, but also invited the old ladies of the Liu family to the place of the Liu concubine.

"The emperor is sympathetic, and soon after Concubine Liu gave birth, she missed her parents."

"So Enzhun Master Liu and Mrs. Liu, eat at Concubine Liu's place first. An hour later, the slave came again to pick up Master Liu and go to the palace. ”

Master Liu and Mrs. Liu were a little stunned.

They had already received the news that their daughter had been promoted to a concubine.

But I didn't expect the emperor to take such care.

Master Liu was very pleased, but as soon as he followed Mrs. Liu into the side hall of the small courtyard where Concubine Liu stayed, he was like a thunderbolt and was shocked in place.

[Grandfather, you're going to be unlucky today. 】

[Pan Zhishui, what should you do, you will be mistaken! ] 】

[I'm not asking you at all, Pan Ji Zhishui, how should you help him!] If you answer in the direction of your own water control, you are very wrong! 】

Mr. and Mrs. Liu were dumbfounded.

Especially Mrs. Liu, she glared at her own master!

What is the best preparation?

What is definitely okay?

Big flicker!

"How ......" how could it not be that he was asked to control the water?

Old Man Liu was sluggish.

[Grandfather, you are the second-in-command of Guozijian, and Guozijian is a place to train future officials. Why would the emperor's father ask you to control the water? 】

[Water control is not your duty. 】

['Pan Zhishui, what should I do', the emperor's father is asking you, Pan Ji is talented and was transferred to control the water, and there is a vacant position in the Hanlin Academy where he originally served, as the second in command of the Guozijian, do you think that the third son of Ying Guogong, who is studying in the Guozijian, how about this student, can you be transferred to the Hanlin Academy to make up for Pan Ji's shortcomings! 】

Old Madam Liu suddenly realized.

Old Man Liu was dumbfounded, and then quickly blushed.

The emperor's question turned out to be like this!

He's completely misguided, he's not as clear as his little granddaughter.

Xiao Chuchu was in the arms of Concubine Liu, her face flushed and she wanted to compare, but it was too embarrassing for her.

This cute little appearance makes the mother-like concubine Liu can't stand it, and wants to kiss her daughter fiercely.

"Chu Chu is so good."

Liu Lanniang, who is now a concubine, turned her mind and looked at her father who she hadn't seen for many years.

His eyes were slightly red, and he nodded, "Dad, this morning my daughter taught Xiao Gege to read and write, and she seems to be able to recognize the word 'one'." ”

"Nonsense, Gege is still young! Don't pull out the seedlings to help them grow, let her eat, sleep and play well. ”

The old man of the Liu family couldn't help but object.

Liu Lanniang smiled and nodded, "People think differently in different positions." I used to complain that my mother was strict with me, but when I became a mother, I realized that my father and mother were all for the good of their children. ”

"It can be seen that you must first see your position and identity when you do anything."

Master Liu was stunned.

So, the emperor thought he was stupid.

It seems to be an understatement of the wrong answer, but it shows that he does not recognize his duty.

If you think about the problem in the wrong direction, no matter how hard you try, it will not be in vain.

Before the emperor asked him to go, he probably asked the same question about the country's eunuch Xu Xijiu.

They naturally have to know the outstanding students in the school well, who can do what position in the future, and whether they can withstand things...... These need to be clear.

If Xu Xijiu answered the emperor's question correctly, he would not have answered the question.

It seems that he is especially stupid!

If you can't do a good job in a country's eunuch, what position can you put him in? How to give him a promotion!?

The old man of the Liu family suddenly sweated profusely.

It's dangerous!

Just one meal, and someone came to the front yard.

"The emperor summoned Liu Siye."
