While Su Mingzhe and Xiren were chatting, Qingwen was the first to dress up and walk out with square steps.
Meiren was the first to shout in surprise:
"Eh? Sister Qingwen, why has your waist become thicker?"
Among the eight maids, Qingwen is the most beautiful and has the slimmest waist. She is a perfect replica of Sister Lin.
As a result, now, Qingwen came out, and her slim waist, which could only be held in a hand, now became as strong as a man's.
"Is this really Qingwen? Isn't he Qingwen's younger brother?"
Xiren also couldn't believe his eyes.
Looking at the handsome young man in front of me who looks very similar to Qingwen, I can't believe that this is a girl.
This is obviously a handsome young man!
After a while, Qiu Wen, Qian Xue, and Qi Xie also put on their makeup and walked over wearing servant clothes.
Although the three of them tried to dress themselves in a more neutral way, and even knew how to wipe some "black ash" on their faces, the slenderness of the female body bones could not be concealed.
"No need to compete now!"
Seeing the unwillingness of the girls, Su Mingzhe had expected it.
After all, this girl Qingwen knows how to cheat.
On the second day.
Su Mingzhe took Qingwen, Li Gui, and Mingyan to the gate of the Imperial College.
After handing the horses to Li Gui and the boys to take back, Su Mingzhe took Qingwen and headed towards the gate of the Imperial College.
Just as the two were about to enter the door, someone suddenly shouted from behind:
"Brother Bao, wait a minute!"
Su Mingzhe turned around and saw a handsome guy with picturesque features. He immediately raised his hands and said with a smile:
"Brother Liu, what a coincidence you are here!"
"Qiaoshi, I'm waiting for you right here!"
Liu Xianglian was not polite, walked three steps at a time, came to Su Mingzhe, and asked quickly in a low voice:
"Brother Bao is rich, lend me some money!"
When Su Mingzhe heard about the loan, he quickly took out a banknote from his pocket, and took out some gold leaves and scattered silver coins from his wallet. He handed them all over and then said:
"Brother Liu, don't say that, it's like 'borrow or not'. If brother wants to use it, just take it!"
"Good brother, I'm in a hurry now, let's talk later!"
Liu Xianglian thanked her, turned around and left without explaining the reason in detail.
Qingwen was a good-looking dog, so she looked in a daze. Only after Liu Xianglian left did she remember and ask:
"Second Master, that person just now is not the 'Cold-faced Erlang' Liu Xianglian, right?"
"That's him!"
In the Imperial College, the only person who could be friends with Su Mingzhe was Liu Xianglian, who also came from the palace of the Four Princes and Eight Gongs.
Unlike Su Mingzhe who was favored in every possible way in the Rongguo Mansion, Liu Xianglian's parents died young. Although he was also a descendant of the Liu family of Duke Li, he was relatively poor.
Su Mingzhe and Qingwen chatted and then entered the Imperial College.
Letting Qingwen stay in the school building, Su Mingzhe took his textbooks and homework and walked towards the classroom.
It wasn't until class was about to end in the morning that Liu Xianglian hurried back from outside.
Liu Xianglian is a repeater. She has taken the exam for two consecutive years without getting a diploma. If she fails again this year, she will be expelled.
However, he didn't care about it at all. He continued to like to make friends and have fun all day long. Occasionally, he played with guns and sticks, gambled and drank, and even slept with flowers and willows. This was also common.
Liu Xianglian, the ‘Cold-faced Erlang’, is also considered a prominent figure in the elite circle.
In modern times, this Liu Xianglian is Zhong Yuemin and Li Yuanchao in "Blood Romance".
Su Mingzhe admired him extremely.
After Liu Xianglian sat down, facing Su Mingzhe's concerned gaze, she first held up her hands and thanked him:
"Thank you Brother Bao for your generous help.
It’s over!"
"As long as the matter is over, if second brother needs Jia Ying, just ask!"
Su Mingzhe is no longer his original self, but he also admires outstanding people like Liu Xianglian very much.
Liu Xianglian was grateful and told her why she borrowed the money.
It's his turn to be in trouble.
It turns out that in addition to dancing with guns and sticks, Liu Xianglian also likes to guest star in theater troupes and sing on stage.
During the holiday yesterday, while others were playing around, Liu Xianglian got addicted to theater and went to the theater with a theater troupe.
Originally, during the performance, Liu Xianglian had had enough of singing and went out with the troupe, so it was time to go home.
As a result, the host suddenly stopped the troupe and said that one of their family members was missing.
After some inspection, the owner found the missing person in the troupe's box.
Because of "abducting people," the entire troupe, including Liu Xianglian, was sent to the Chang'an County Government Prison.
The county government arrested and interrogated him all night long. Everyone in the troupe said they didn't care about their own affairs and they didn't know the "kidnapped woman."
When the arresting officer saw that the "abducted woman" was so stupid that she couldn't say anything, he decided to report the entire troupe to the superiors as a "human trafficking" case.
If the Ministry of Punishment really approves it, the troupe leader will definitely be beheaded, and the rest will be sold, sold, and exiled.
As a friend, Liu Xianglian saw that everyone in the theater troupe was in danger, so she could only report her identity to prevent the arrester from judging the case.
When the head catcher heard that Liu Xianglian was the son of the Liguo Mansion, he did not dare to embarrass himself and let him go.
However, Liu Xianglian could not be alone, so she abandoned the troupe and asked if there was a way to save the others.
The catcher made a direct gesture and said that if he could give out a thousand taels of silver, he could reconcile with the wealthy family.
For this reason, Liu Xianglian came to the gate of the Imperial College early in the morning to ask someone to borrow money.
Su Mingzhe listened and immediately became happy:
"Second brother, what you said does not sound like a frame-up?"
"I feel the same way and have sent a friend to check it out!"
Liu Xianglian has a bold personality and has friends from all three religions and nine schools.
If this matter was really framed by the master's family, Liu Xianglian would never let the other party have an easy time.
That's it.
Su Mingzhe had no intention of participating.
After class, Liu Xianglian left in a hurry, definitely to continue dealing with the matter.
And because Su Mingzhe had Qingwen in the dormitory, he didn't bother to wander around and went straight back to rest.
A few days passed in the blink of an eye.
During another class, Liu Xianglian's eyebrows relaxed and she walked into the class in a good mood. She gave Su Mingzhe a bunch of banknotes and said with a smile:
"Brother Bao's guess was right. It turned out to be an affair with that family. They have already reported it to the official and sent it. This is the compensation returned by the other party!"
Su Mingzhe was not polite to Liu Xianglian. He took the banknote and put it in his arms, smiling:
"These people are so brave. They dare to do this in Chang'an City. Are they not outsiders?"
"Brother Bao really guessed it!"
Liu Xianglian didn't expect that Su Mingzhe could even guess this point. She immediately raised her thumb and praised:
"The head of this household is the eldest brother-in-law of He Youwei, the leader of the new capital of Shenjiying. He Youwei learned that his eldest uncle had offended me, so he personally sent his eldest uncle to the official position and paid compensation!"
Su Mingzhe frowned slightly after hearing this:
"The Gyeonggi Forbidden Army has two divisions, six armies and eighteen battalions. The Shenji Battalion is the top priority of the Gyeonggi Camp. Where did this He Youwei come from?"
As a descendant of the Fourth Prince and Eighth Prince, Liu Xianglian was naturally no stranger to the Shenji Camp, so she explained directly:
"This He Youwei is originally from a thousand households in the south of the Yangtze River. It is said that he has made great achievements in killing the Japanese. He was treated as emperor and rewarded for his merits, and he was promoted to the top!"
"This is really out of the ordinary!"
After hearing this, Su Mingzhe's mouth curled up slightly.
A hint of sneer.
The thousand households in a thousand-household office belong to the military attachés of the fifth rank.
The Xiaoqi battalion is generally a third-grade general, and at least a third-grade general is required to hold the position.
The fifth-rank official from other places was directly promoted to the third-rank official in the capital, bypassing the fourth-rank and fourth-rank officials.
It has to be said that Emperor Longqing has begun to adopt radical methods in order to check and balance the nobles.
He is really not afraid that nobles will oppose him!
