Shen Mingzhu saw that he was acting hard and it was almost done, so she smiled and said: "Since Magistrate Xu is so filial and wants to honor the prince, why doesn't the prince give Magistrate Xu this dignity? This will also make Magistrate Xu more respected among his colleagues in the future.
More respectable.”
After Xu Wanke arrived, he only glanced at Shen Mingzhu quickly. He only vaguely saw a girl wearing a silver-red bra, but did not dare to take a closer look at her appearance. Her voice sounded much gentler and livelier now than when she was in the capital.
He's not as sarcastic as he used to be.
Xu Wanke thought that Shen Mingzhu had a really bad reputation in the capital earlier. She had forced her aunt to death, her own aunt, and the Liu family and the Hou family to be destroyed. It could be said that she had wiped out everyone who opposed her in the entire capital.
The Yan family has a really bad impression of her from top to bottom, especially Yan Tingting, and Xiao Che's complicated feelings for Shen Mingzhu also give the Yan family a lot of headaches.
So at that time, anything Xu Wanke heard inside and outside was definitely bad as long as it was about Shen Mingzhu.
In his impression, Shen Mingzhu was definitely sarcastic and not a gentle woman.
Even if I saw her in public, I wouldn't have the chance to take a closer look, let alone hear her voice up close like now.
From what it sounds like, why do you think it's easy to talk to someone?
Could it be that because he was beheaded once by the emperor, he changed his temper?
Xu Wanke was agitated, but he didn't dare to raise his head to look at Shen Mingzhu, for fear of offending Xiao Xian.
Then he heard Xiao Xian say softly: "If you feel bored, we might as well go for a walk. I heard that the Xu family also has a smart young lady who can just talk to you to relieve your boredom."
Shen Mingzhu chuckled, "How did the prince know that there was a young lady in Magistrate Xu's family?"
The two acted in perfect harmony, Xiao Xian immediately said: "Isn't there someone who praised me as soon as I came to Yangzhou City?"
At that time, women were raised in deep mansions and courtyards, but they also needed others to know their virtuous name, so that they could form good relationships. But how could a woman in a deep house be known by her virtuous name?
Naturally, it needs to be passed down orally by parents, relatives and servants, that is, the virtuous name is spoken.
Naturally, Mrs. Xu began to build publicity for her daughter when she was very young. Intelligence, virtuousness, filial piety, gentleness, etc., must be spread to the outside world.
Xiao Xian was just mocking Xu Wanke indirectly, but Xu Wanke couldn't hear it and just kept feeling proud. He didn't expect that Xiao Xian also knew about his daughter's good reputation.
When he was feeling proud, he would inevitably have other thoughts. It would be great if Xiao Xian did not offend the emperor. If he could pay attention to his daughter, wouldn't it be interesting?
If this is the case, my daughter might be able to marry into the palace and become a concubine.
Thinking like this, I heard Xiao Xian say: "Prefect Xu, please go back for now. I will bring Mingzhu to the mansion for an appointment in three days."
When Xu Wanke heard this, he immediately thanked him. He didn't expect it to be so easy.
After being sent out of the inn, the cold wind blew and he couldn't help but shiver. Only then did Xu Wanke realize that his underwear was soaked through.
If I think about it carefully, it's not that it was easy for me to invite him, but that Shen Mingzhu spoke for me. If she didn't speak, Xiao Xian would be like a piece of ice. Once she spoke, Xiao Xian would become gentle.
It seems that Xiao Xian really listens to Shen Mingzhu.
No wonder people say that Shen Mingzhu has witchcraft and can win the prince's heart.
