Chapter 254 Why don’t you become the head of the state?
In the house, the oil lamp is burning.
Zheng Liu sat in front of the dressing table, with her long hair loose, and carefully put her jewelry into the dressing box.
As he collected it, he kept saying it.
"I thought the person who could win over people had to be enchanting, so why did you just raise a piece of wood?"
"It took me a lot of beating to get out a sentence, but I didn't have any energy at all."
"Her place was a bit shabby. I looked inside and out, but there was nothing of value."
"I say Liu Xun, you are really stingy. She just followed you like this, but in the end you were not willing to give her any good things."
"If this were someone else's outer room, I would feel a little distressed just looking at it."
"But who said you raised her? Let me know that you raised her with good things, and you just wait and see."
"How long do you plan to keep it? Why not change it to something interesting?"
Pat--
The wick burned out and the fire dimmed.
Only then did Liu Xun come to his senses.
He didn't even pick up a word.
It’s not that I feel guilty or unjust, so I dare not tell Zheng Liu about Yue Niang.
It's not rare news that he has one outside. Zheng Liu has long known it.
He was just too stunned.
He never expected that Zheng Liu would suddenly go to Shuixian Hutong and show him these "seen things".
The wick of the lamp was shaken, and Liu Xun's blank thoughts finally came back to normal.
"She is her, you are you, and she won't be an eyesore to you, why would you be unhappy if you went to find it on your own?" Liu Xun shook his head repeatedly, puzzled, "Why are you jealous of Yue Niang? It's so strange to make it so rare.
Like me."
In the mirror, Zheng Liu's face changed again and again.
The first half of the words made her feel angry.
Why can’t she go find Yue Niang?
If you don't hang around in front of her, wouldn't Yue Niang be an unpleasant existence for her?
Then the second half of the words were like a flood of ice water, making Zheng Liu feel weak again before his anger could come out.
Jealousy?
For Liu Xun?
What kind of joke is this?
She never cared about Liu Xun from beginning to end!
Of course, Liu Xun doesn't care about her either.
It was just a marriage that no one cared about, just for the sake of one breath. When she went to look for Yue Niang, it seemed like...
It’s not that it’s unreasonable, it just doesn’t make sense.
Thinking about it like this, Zheng Liu was really depressed.
She slapped the bracelet in her hand on the table and said coldly: "What? If I don't care about you, I can't find fault with you? Can't I just say this to you for my own sake?"
Liu Xun couldn't help but rolled his eyes.
He was flattering to the prince and honest and obedient to his father. Although he had a lot of overt and treacherous behavior towards his mother, he generally would not contradict her face to face. But towards Zheng Liu, he would not just say polite words.
"Face?" Liu Xun sarcastically said, "Do you have such a thing?"
Zheng Liu opened his eyes wide and stared at Liu Xun fiercely.
Liu Xun felt a little regretful as soon as he said those words.
He and Zheng Liu have a "cooperative" relationship. Since it is cooperation, the relationship cannot be too tense.
Today it was Zheng Liu who was at fault. Not only did he go to Narcissus Alley to embarrass Yue Niang, but he also mocked him in and out of words. However, he has a lot of money and should not care about Zheng Liu like this.
Thinking this way, Liu Xun's tone softened a little.
"I told you a few days ago that the two of us would try to cooperate, and you agreed," Liu Xun said. "We are all cooperating intentionally. There is no point in going through all that. It is better to think more about how to give Xu Jianhe
The princess is causing trouble."
Zheng Liu sneered: "How can you create trouble for those two people by raising an outer room? I think it's you who caused them to be blocked, right?"
"I guess you heard it," Liu Xun took a deep breath and said, "You just can't see that there is a Yue Niang beside me, and you want to drive her away, so if my ugly words are here, Yue Niang is still useful." p>
Zheng Liu sneered, obviously not believing this.
Liu Xun thought for a while, walked to Zheng Liu, bent down and whispered with her: "The prince likes Yue Niang very much..."
Zheng Liu's body froze.
As soon as Liu Xun came over, she subconsciously wanted to hide away for a while, but she didn't expect that he would say something like this next.
For a moment, Zheng Liu felt that there was something wrong with his ears.
Your Highness, do you like Yue Niang?
Yue Niang is just a piece of wood.
No, that's not right.
Whether it's wood or not, that's not the point.
The point is, Yue Niang is Liu Xun’s concubine, and His Highness the Crown Prince actually...
This outer room was not only raised by Liu Xun himself, but also by him for His Highness the Crown Prince.
Zheng Liu had goosebumps all over his body.
What is this!
Yue Niang is not a self-respecting person at all. She has served this and that, and it is not unusual to tell her.
His Highness the Crown Prince is amazing, he is not picky at all.
And Liu Xun is clearly a green-headed turtle!
It turns out that there really are men who will send their women to other men's beds for the sake of their future.
So, that Yue Niang is really a fool!
There is no need for the prince to manipulate Liu Xun, and there is no need to get more benefits from the prince.
For someone who is smarter, it would be difficult to gain status, but having good clothes and good food is simply a piece of cake.
Various thoughts were swirling in his mind. Zheng Liu's face turned red and white, and his eyes when looking at Liu Xun were full of words that were "hard to describe".
Liu Xun felt uncomfortable when she looked at her: "Anyway, you know what's going on. Don't go to Narcissus Alley to make yourself upset. You and her can't get in each other's way at all."
Zheng Liu stiffened his face and nodded subconsciously.
That really doesn't matter.
No matter how much she hates the sisters in Uncle Chengcheng's house, no matter how much she resents the elders and siblings in the family, she will not be so stupid that she wants to hug the prince's Gao Zhi.
That's not the path for someone like her!
Seeing that Zheng Liu was being coaxed, Liu Xun secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said, "You can rest early later. I have to go out and His Highness is looking for me."
After saying this, Liu Xun went out under the moonlight.
After walking out of the Liu Mansion, he took a few breaths of fresh air.
He really can't break up with Zheng Liu.
After all, when he goes out at night, he has to rely on Zheng Liu to cover him up in front of his mother.
Not long after, Liu Xun arrived at Shuixian Hutong.
Yue Niang smiled gently and called "Young Master" gently.
"I've made you feel wronged." Liu Xun hugged her and coaxed her patiently.
"Her father wanted to marry her, and her temper is really... If she had a good temper, the incident in Zhangpingyuan would not have happened in the first place."
"I really want to tell you to ignore her, but I feel bad about it."
"If I were more capable and capable, I wouldn't have to be controlled by her."
"If it were me who had the final say, I could take you into my house instead of..."
Yue Niang lowered her eyes and shook her head.
"I also said that as long as I can be by your side, it doesn't matter."
"She didn't scold or hit her. If the young master had a dispute with her over this, it would only add fuel to the fire."
"Yue Niang is very touched that the young master has this kind of intention."
These few sentences are all sincere.
Her request is just that simple.
But for some reason, when she snuggled into Liu Xun's arms, she didn't feel as at ease as before, but felt particularly anxious.
Closing her eyes, what appeared in front of her eyes was the figure of the princess.
The princess smiled and made a silent gesture.
The princess said, if I were you, I would leave an extra way for myself.
"Master," Yue Niang took a deep breath, but her voice was still trembling, "If she really can't tolerate me and won't even let me live in this small courtyard, what should I do?
I am reluctant to leave the young master, and I am afraid that the young master will be in a dilemma.
She is the wife of a well-known matchmaker, and I am just an outside wife. From now on, I will..."
Liu Xun vowed: "She won't do it. I can explain it to her clearly and won't let her drive you away."
Yue Niang raised her head and looked at Liu Xun's face.
The young master said it with such certainty that he even swore to heaven.
Her heart is undoubtedly warm and grateful for the friendship of the young master, but...
The young master’s heart is here, but the young master has many things he can’t help himself.
With her eyes moist, Yue Niang smiled at Liu Xun and said nothing more.
Liu Xun coaxed her a few more words, and seeing Yue Niang's moods fluctuating, he couldn't help but scold Zheng Liu secretly.
Looking for trouble!
It was just before the fourth watch that Liu Xun left the courtyard.
The watchman beat the watch drum and came towards me. When he met Liu Xun, he smiled.
Liu Xun got on the sedan with an expressionless expression and staggered back to the outside of Liu's house, when he suddenly felt excited.
The watchman’s smile was so weird! That look in his eyes seemed to be looking at a fool!
The more Liu Xun thought about it, the more something was wrong.
When daytime came, he asked someone to go to Narcissus Alley to inquire about something.
"It is said that a woman knocked on the door in the afternoon. Soon after, Miss Yue took her grandma out."
"It seems that I haven't gone far. I just booked a private room in a teahouse on the street."
"The younger one asked the waiter and found out that the man in Dingya Room is a young master. He doesn't look very young, but he comes from a wealthy family. The servants around him spend a lot of money."
"Miss Yue went into the private room and sat there for two-quarters of an hour. She was restless when she left."
Liu Xun's face became darker and darker as he listened.
Zheng Liu came to the study to look for him, and happened to hear the second half of it, and couldn't help but burst into laughter.
It turns out that this green-headed turtle is even more mature than she thought?
You talk about how affectionate you are, but you actually have tea with a young gentleman behind your back?
"Could it be that," Zheng Liu glanced at Liu Xun up and down, "you are too stingy? You are not as good as other wealthy young men who spend a lot of money?"
Liu Xun was so angry that his face was redder than cooked shrimp.
That’s what he said.
Yue Niang was very absent-minded last night.
He only thought that she was frightened by Zheng Liu, but he didn't expect that she actually had a different intention behind his back!
Liu Xun was furious and strode out, wanting to go to Narcissus Alley to ask for help.
Zheng Liu grabbed him, winked, and asked the young man who answered to retreat.
"What to do?" Liu Xun asked her.
Zheng Liu rolled his eyes and asked: "That Yue Niang is looking for another future. I don't know how many people she has hooked up with. She is like this. Are you still thinking of letting her serve His Highness the Crown Prince?"
Liu Xun blurted out, "When did I let her go?" When the words came to his lips, he suddenly remembered what he had said to prevaricate Zheng Liu last night.
It seems that Zheng Liu misunderstood what he said at that time.
But now he really wasn't in the mood to explain back and forth, so he just kept silent.
"How come you don't gain much from being able to talk in front of His Highness?" Zheng Liu said again, "It seems that the people you are instructing are not strong enough. Also, Yue Niang and you are not of the same mind. Things like blowing the wind are still satisfactory.
It’s good to be together.”
Hearing her tone, Liu Xun frowned and asked, "What are you planning?"
Zheng Liu lowered his voice and said with a smile: "That Yue Niang is so pretentious, I think your sister is quite suitable."
Liu Xun's head buzzed: "Are you crazy?"
Liu Ping and Yueniang are nothing like each other!
Yue Niang is enchanting, where is Liu Ping?
Liu Ping is just a bean sprout!
Not right either.
This time when he returned to Beijing, Liu Ping was indeed very different from what he remembered. She was no longer a bean sprout, but the flavor was still very different from that of Yue Niang.
Besides, Liu Ping is his biological sister!
Zheng Liu didn't care about Liu Xun's jump and continued: "No matter how many people you send to the prince, they are still not as good as your sister."
She can’t stand Liu Ping being like that!
To put it nicely, she is the granddaughter of Duke Lao Fu and the younger sister of the current Duke.
But those are just words.
It can be seen from the fact that Liu Xun got married and there was no expression from the Fuguo Palace that the two families were not in the same family at all.
Liu Ping is just a fourth-rank official girl, and she is nothing in this capital city where the emperor and relatives are everywhere.
But even for such a little girl, the benefits she gets from her family are better than those of her cousin’s cousin.
His father is gentle, his mother is loving, and all good things belong to Liu Ping.
Mrs. Xu brought a generous dowry from her natal family, and most of it became Liu Ping's new clothes and jewelry.
Having no worries about food and clothing, having plenty of money, and raising such a person is called a simple person.
Being unable to compare to Lin Yunfang was enough for Zheng Liu to hold his breath. Unexpectedly, he was unable to compare to Liu Ping!
"You have been raised so carefully, shouldn't you contribute something to the family?" After Zheng Liu finished speaking, seeing Liu Xun's extremely angry expression, he blinked his eyes and burst into laughter, "Oh, are you thinking differently? p>
I asked you to use Liu Ping, but I didn’t let her follow the prince without knowing why.
To put it bluntly, it is her ability to win over the prince.
Why, you can see your sister on the bed after just one meeting? Is your sister such an incompetent person?"
Liu Xun's anger subsided little by little.
If Liu Ping can win over His Highness the Crown Prince, then he will be the Crown Prince’s uncle and future uncle!
No, that's not quite right.
With his family's financial resources, it is obvious that he is overestimating his ability to make Liu Ping the Crown Princess.
But as long as Liu Ping is outstanding, the concubine Liang Di can make plans.
Your Majesty loves His Highness so much, and as long as Your Highness speaks, Liu Ping, an innocent official daughter, is not going to be a royal concubine, so I think His Majesty will agree to it.
Later, Liu Ping gave birth to a son and a half daughters for the prince...
My father is real.
What's the point of being a Sangong!
It’s better to become the father-in-law!
And when Liu Xun became the uncle of the state, why should he study or take any exams?
By that time, even if Xu Jian wants to come and lend money, he can’t even think of taking advantage!
"There is obviously a cornucopia, but I don't use it," Zheng Liu said, "But I keep thinking about the broken bowl. It's really..."
The sound of "broken bowl" made Liu Xun embarrassed and uncomfortable.
"I will consider your suggestion," he said. "Don't tell it, especially don't let your mother and sister know about it."
Zheng Liu snorted.
Do you still need Liu Xun to explain this?
Liu Xun gave a few more instructions and walked out to Shuixian Hutong.
