"She has some connection with the prince of Prince Jing's mansion..."
"What nonsense are you talking about? Song Qianfan is already married, why are you bringing Miss Liu into this?"
"Everyone in the capital knows that these two are in love with each other. The prince has given Miss Liu countless gifts in the past... Who are you? How dare you eavesdrop on our conversation?"
Su Juan leaned on the railing and looked down at the attic. The men who were talking just now were pushing a young man, seemingly arguing about something that had just happened.
She raised her eyebrows slightly, "Whose young man is this? I haven't seen him before, Miaoqing. He was speaking for you just now. Do you know him?"
Hearing this, Liu Miaoqing stood up and looked in the direction Su Juan was looking. The young man looked unfamiliar, as she had never seen him before.
Su Juan sighed inwardly, "How shameless of them to catch one person and bully him."
Liu Miaoqing frowned and immediately wanted to go down to rescue the young man.
Su Juan grabbed her and said, "They are all men. It's not appropriate for you to go there."
Even if I help the young man out of trouble, I'm afraid I'll be laughed at in the future for having to be protected by a girl.
The woman in the portrait looked very strange. Liu Miaoqing felt vaguely that she looked familiar, as if she had seen her before, but she just couldn't remember the exact identity.
This young man looks very similar to the portrait, except that the portrait does not make him look younger, while the real person looks a bit less heroic.
As soon as Xie Xun went up and started scolding, those who had been making things difficult for the eldest son immediately dispersed. We dare not provoke the Duke Ping's Mansion.
"It is said that Master Mu has no feelings for you..."
Listening to Su Juan's jokes, you kept silent as you put away the portrait, preparing to turn around and ask someone about the eldest son of the Mu family.
Liu Miaoqing: "What's the matter? Just say it if you have nothing to say."
...
The servant was stunned for a moment, "Yes."
The main thing is to help someone when you see him doing something wrong, but is it for some reputation or because of the girl's status?
At this time, Tian Lichen discovered that a small number of women were like Yu Ting. They looked down on men from the bottom of their hearts and regarded their wives as their own appendages.
Cai Yi: "Your Highness, this is the eldest son of Minister Mu of the Ministry of War. He hates to go out. I heard that he hates to play with flowers and plants. He has been to poetry gatherings a few times. Maybe he hates it. He also sees people when he comes. He is quite quiet."
You didn't give Yu Ting too much of a bad look on the surface, but secretly made up your mind that you must do something in the court, so that everyone who looks down on men will know that things in this world are not only for women to do, but men can do them too.
[You help others when you see injustice. What a good reputation! When those girls outside hear about it, who wouldn't be fascinated by you, Prince Xie? ]
They both immediately looked at Xie Xun who was half lying on a bench drinking.
But Yu Ting's words completely annoyed you: "Although he works in the Ministry of Revenue, he is only an eighth-rank official after all. If he continues to be in the public eye, it will be beneficial for his future marriage. Why marry you? In the future, you will rise to prominence and he will also be respectable."
I wanted to agree politely, but also to give each other some respect.
So the young lady came here because she was busy with court affairs and had gone to the poetry meeting again. The young master had also been there before.
I quickly turned my head away, avoiding his gaze, my ears red.
You suddenly called me, "Who is he? It seems you have seen him before."
Maybe we met at a poetry gathering later. Even before you entered the court, you often went to Jingyuan and attended all kinds of poetry gatherings in the capital.
For people like Yu Ting and Song Qianfan, this is absolutely possible.
You, Liu Miaoqing, will definitely get married in this life. Even if you want to find a son-in-law, you want one who despises men from the bottom of his heart.
He thought he had a chance to enter the officialdom, but Su Juan's action allowed the emperor to set a precedent for him, and Liu Miaoqing was able to work in the Ministry of Revenue. Although promotion was easy, it was at most a bad start.
Upon hearing this, the eldest son looked up and caught a glimpse of a girl in aqua green clothes with a half-pretty face under the attic. The girl seemed unaware and turned to look over.
Liu Miaoqing was entangled by those people and was not able to escape until Liu Xuan appeared.
Liu Miaoqing had no recollection of it. "Go and put some information inside, saying that you are going to Jingyuan soon."
The eldest son is shy and loves to go out. I heard that he would occasionally attend poetry gatherings in recent years, and in recent years he has even left the house.
Tian Lichen walked towards this side, and when she got here, people around her started talking to her. Mu Huai avoided their gazes and seemed to be about to leave.
According to the master in the mansion, the eldest son had a bad temper and was very kind to the master, who had never criticized him harshly. He also had never done anything inappropriate with the maids in the mansion, let alone anything ridiculous like having sex in the inner room.
After waiting for a long time, you also saw Young Master Mu. Until you were about to leave, you suddenly caught a glimpse of a young man sitting quietly nearby, blocked by some bad people. He was also talking to others and looking for paper and ink to write poetry, but he was just sitting outside.
Seeing me like that, Xie Xun was not surprised. Being able to speak for Liu Miaoqing meant that he looked at me differently. But there were too few people in Beijing who looked at me differently. You could count them on ten fingers.
After returning home, you gave the portrait to the servant beside you and asked you to find out if there was anything related to the eldest son of the Mu family. After asking for a few days, you only knew a few things.
At the Jingyuan Poetry Gathering, Liu Miaoqing arrived early, waited for a long time, and then some bad guys came down to talk to her.
What's more, you have always thought that "virtuous" is a compliment to a man.
Liu Miaoqing was slightly stunned. Poetry meeting?
Liu Miaoqing then realized that it was indeed inappropriate.
...
Xie Xun waved his hand, "It was you who wanted to help him out. The two girls downstairs were malicious, so you were sent up here."
"You decided to marry him a long time ago. It is said that one should marry a virtuous woman. He has always been the most virtuous man in your heart. In the future, he will also be the worst wife and the worst mother for your children."
When Yu Ting returned to Beijing, such a new noble in the court wanted to propose marriage to the Liu family. Many families hoped that it would be a bad marriage.
The eldest son did not look embarrassed, "Thank you for your help, my Lord."
Xie Xun was confused: "?" What are you looking at me for? It's not appropriate for me!
...
The servant boy was afraid that his daughter was happy, so he said calmly, "My daughter, these are just rumors. I heard them from a few people. It seems that she and Master Mu have never had any disputes since then, so it must be true."
The servant was moved for a moment, "Miss, I heard about it too. It was spread by the young masters at the poetry gathering. They said that Young Master Mu went to the poetry gathering a few years ago... just to see you."
The news that the Liu family wanted to recruit a son-in-law had long spread throughout the capital. The crown prince was the regent, and now Liu Miaoqing was an eighth-rank official in the court, and he had a bad relationship with the crown prince. If he wanted to move forward, he would have to climb down a ladder. If he didn't want to become a son-in-law, he would have to fight for it.
Liu Miaoqing had thought all her life that one day she would be stopped by a woman for no apparent reason and be told that she was virtuous.
It was the eldest son of the Mu family, Mu Huai.
Xie Xun coughed lightly, stood up and put down the wine pot, patted the clothes under him, and waved the fan, "Okay, Master, you can go upstairs and take a walk."
The servant didn't hesitate, because he knew what to say.
