Zhao Defang's road to the virtuous king

Defang looked at Liu Mei, "how about the next day?"

"Humble job. I met someone who sang drums in a teahouse."

"Liu E, who sings drums, right?" De Fang frowned, "So you and her are not cousins ​​at all!"

"My lord, let me tell you! There's something else going on in this matter!"

"Inside information? No matter what inside information is, it is deceiving the emperor!"

"Your Majesty, this matter is indeed related to His Majesty, please let me finish my humble job."

"Okay! The lonely king wants to hear how His Majesty is related to this matter, tell me!"

"Humble job. It's true that Liu Meiren is not a cousin. After meeting her that day, I just fell in love with her."

Hearing this, Defang frowned even tighter, "The lonely king doesn't want to hear this! Let's talk about it later!"

"Yes." Liu Mei slowed down again, "If you are a low-ranking official, you will come to propose marriage, and the Pang family will ask for the money and dowry. This is a humble job. Only then."

"How about it? Say it!"

Liu Mei shivered for a moment, wiped off her sweat and said, "My lord, at that time it was just an engagement, an engagement."

"And then? When did you get married?"

"Not married, humble job. At that time, the humble job had already given up everything, and later, when Liu Meiren's mother died of illness, the humble job asked the elders of Pang's parents to help us with the gift, but the Pang family didn't want to pay, and they didn't want to come again Take care of Meiren Liu. At that time, there was chaos in Sichuan and Sichuan, so I brought Liu Meiren to the capital to temporarily live in a farmhouse in the capital.

"Married, right?" Defang glanced at Liu Mei, "Go on."

"I work as a silversmith in a silver shop. But I haven't made enough money, and I don't want to delay Meiren Liu. Just tell her, it's better to marry someone else. There are many wealthy families in Beijing, even if you are small. "

"Okay! Say something else!"

"Yes. Later, I met Wang Fu Zhang Min in the silver shop. He told the shopkeeper that His Majesty wanted a Shu girl with both talent and beauty, so I decided to tell Zhang Min that there was someone engaged in my humble job. But I was powerless. Support, whether it can be dedicated to His Majesty, Zhang Min originally thought that His Majesty was just looking for a Shu girl to serve him, and did nothing else, so he told His Majesty the truth. After seeing Liu Meiren, His Majesty liked it very much. So, he stayed in the palace all the time. .”

"Wait, you mean His Majesty knew that you were engaged?"

"Yes, my lord, Your Majesty knows. At that time, His Majesty said that it was not good for outsiders to know, so let the humble official say it. Said it was Liu Meiren's cousin."

"What?" Defang turned to look at Nangongwen, Nangongwen bowed slightly and whispered something to Defang, and Defang asked, "The lonely king asked you, were you married at that time?"

"No, no, absolutely not, it's just an engagement."

"Then since you are already called cousins, why do you need to change your surname?"

"This is. Later. After Meiren Liu entered the palace, she was also lucky enough to enter the palace. Later, His Majesty was canonized as the crown prince, and His Majesty said that the humble official should change her surname. That's it. It sounds like a relative. In the future, Meiren Liu will definitely be allowed to enter the mansion again. Also let humble officials be officials."

Defang thought for a while after listening to this, "Your Majesty has really taken great pains for Liu Meiren, even you, an irrelevant person, have made such thorough arrangements."

"Your Majesty's kindness, a lowly position cannot be repaid by death."

"Liu Mei, the lonely king will give you another chance. Are you and Liu Meiren married? Tell the truth!"
