Liangyue Farm Gate

Chapter 749
Li Ming knew about this Miss Liu.She has outstanding talents, so she will naturally be a little arrogant.Two years ago, she was jealous because she pointed out that one of the poems in the poetry meeting had copied the poems of three unknown figures, which made the person who gave the speech embarrassing.Not long after, because Liu Qinghan and that Mr. Qi's father had political disagreements and turned against each other, Mr. Qi threatened to show some color to the Liu family.

It's just that he didn't expect that Mr. Qi was targeting Liu Qinghan's only daughter, Liu Biyan who was sixteen years old.He bribed the maid next to Liu Biyan, abducted Liu Biyan while she was out of the house, and then raped her.

Mr. Qi only thought that if a woman loses her virginity, she must follow him.He confidently prepared the dowry to marry Liu Biyan back to Qi's family, but he didn't expect to be waiting for the official office of Yin Jingzhao.

With a complaint, Liu Biyan brought her grievances to the court, begging the governor of Jingzhao to find out the truth, bring the person who raped her to justice, and give her justice.

The sensation caused by this case can be imagined.The woman lost her virginity, and she didn't try to cover it up, but she dared to go to court, and she even went to court to testify with certainty, which undoubtedly made others laugh.What's more, the protagonist is the daughter of an official family from a second-rank official family!
Yin Gang of Jingzhao Mansion is upright, and naturally judges the case impartially. Mr. Qi is imprisoned, and the Qi family's reputation is ruined.

And in the same way, Liu Biyan was also criticized by thousands of people. The talented girl who used to be arrogant and arrogant has become the talk of everyone.

No one knows better than herself how much pressure she will be under.

In the past, people who came to the Liu Mansion to seek marriage were so flocked that the threshold was almost broken, but now, the Liu Mansion was depleted of people, and Liu Qinghan had no choice but to find a husband for his daughter from among his own disciples.

After the flower viewing party, Li Ming went home, thought about it, got up and lit the lamp, grinded ink, spread out paper, and wrote a letter.On the second day, I went to the post station and asked the people in the post post to send it back to my hometown.In a letter every month, his parents from Hui County urged him to start a family as soon as possible. Now that the youngest sister is married, he is still alone, so his parents naturally miss him.

He thought that he would not have any more contact with that Miss Liu, but ten days later, on Liu Qinghan's [-]th birthday, he accepted the post and was invited to the Liu Mansion to celebrate his birthday, and met Miss Liu again.

There are a lot of people in the Liu residence today, and although something happened to Miss Liu in the Liu family, people in the officialdom naturally understand what it means to whitewash the peace.Today is Liu Qinghan's birthday banquet, and the courtiers who came to celebrate his birthday will never mention anything about Miss Liu.The Liu family can be regarded as having two points of power in Beijing, and they always have two points of Liu family's face in life and deeds.

At that time, Liu Biyan was instructing the servant girl to arrange the dishes, Li Ming arrived earlier, the servant led him to sit in the flower hall, and happened to bump into Liu Biyan ordering the servant girl to do something.

Methodical and meticulous, this is Li Ming's other impression of Liu Biyan.

She seemed to give the servant girl an encouraging smile, and when she turned around, the smile hadn't dissipated from her face. For a moment, Li Ming felt that there was a strong spring breeze and warmth in that smile, which made him almost absent-minded. It also moved with a bang.

Thinking that he has been an official for more than ten years, love is dispensable to him, and his elder brothers all have sons, so he does not need to bear the burden of carrying on the family line on himself. Under the ardent expectation of the parents, several marriages were discussed, but in the end they were all nothing.

Being his wife is very tiring and bitter, and it is impossible for him to attach his heart to his family. In this world, being his wife will inevitably be wronged.In the early years, the emperor intended to cultivate him. In the past two years, the emperor revealed his intention to send him to a local place to practice as an official. He also knew that he would never be sent to a rich and prosperous place. Peaceful place.If he married a wife, he would have wronged her.

Then, if he marries, he definitely cannot marry a savage and willful woman.What he needs is a wife who is tolerant, considerate, sensible, and able to take care of everything in the family and not let him bother her.

"Master Li is well." Liu Biyan lowered her expression, squatted down and gave a little blessing: "Father is still sitting in the flower hall, please come over to Master Li." With the polite way of hospitality and the right distance, Li Ming couldn't help but stare one dark.

During the flower viewing party, he suddenly became interested and wanted to walk and chat with her, but she calmly avoided using the reason that the maid was looking for her.Today, they distanced themselves like this again, as if they were just strangers to him.Li Ming frowned for no reason.

The birthday banquet in the Liu Mansion was not considered grand, Liu Qinghan was an upright official, a direct minister, Mrs. Liu had passed away for many years, Liu Qinghan had never remarried, and he had only one daughter under his knees. For the ministers above, Liu Qinghan does not pose a threat to him, but because of this, there are not many ministers who have no relevant interests and have good friends with Liu Qinghan.

Li Ming drank some wine today, and after the birthday banquet, he wandered back to his mansion, lying on the couch, but in front of his eyes, he saw Miss Liu's bewildered expression sitting quietly in the small pavilion.

At that time the birthday banquet was coming to an end, he was a little tipsy after drinking, got up to enjoy the air, and unconsciously walked to the small pavilion, just in time to see Miss Liu sitting quietly, with a leisurely posture, but the expression on her face was ecstatic.

Li Ming shook his head and patted his own head angrily.

But unexpectedly, he remembered what Liu Qinghan sighed when he was drunk.

"...The old man only had this girl. He doted on her since he was a child. Knowing her intelligence, he couldn't bear to hide it. He found a master to teach her. When she was 16 years old, she was also slim and beautiful, and everyone wanted to marry her. Who would have thought that the child of the Qi family... It's such a wolf-hearted dog, but...the matter was so big at the time, everyone said that she was shameless, but she dared to go to court when it happened..."

Liu Qinghan took another sip of wine, her eyes blurred: "At that time, she insisted on going to court, but the old man firmly refused, but she said that if she refused to take that beast to court and let him be brought to justice, she would definitely be punished." Threatened by beasts, she was forced to marry him. She has always been noble, she would rather be a broken jade than a whole, she would rather not marry for the rest of her life than surrender to such a man. I can't stop her, I can only let her go..."

At that time, Liu Qinghan was surrounded by his friends in the court, and they were all high-spirited and upright seniors in the officialdom that Li Ming admired. It must be that Master Liu didn't realize that he was there at the time, so he vomited all this bitterness.

Li Ming rubbed his forehead, Chang Sui came in in a low voice: "Master, there is a letter from Hui County."

Li Ming suddenly felt strange, it had only been more than ten days since he wrote the letter, and he was afraid that the letter from An An had not been delivered yet, so why did he reply?
Li Ming just smiled after receiving the letter.It turned out to be my sister.

Li Xin said in the letter: "...you are also in your thirties. My sister shouldn't ask you about marriage matters. I just hope that you will think of the old parents at home and reassure them. Now that your nephew and grandson are about to be born, you There is no woman around to take care of you, and your parents are always worried about your food and daily life, and they are afraid that no one will be around you to ask you how you are..."

Li Ming read the letter carefully and smiled.

My elder sister never asked about his marriage, and on rare occasions when she went back to the hometown to visit relatives, she just asked him lightly if he had any plans to start a family, and he shook his head, but she said nothing else.This time, she must have been forced by her parents to write a letter from home.

elder sister……

Thinking of his sister, Li Ming suddenly remembered Liu Biyan's face for some reason.

She was famous in Kyoto, because of her talent in the early years, and later because of the sensational case.No matter what it is, it has nothing to do with her appearance.When others judge her appearance, they usually use the word "ordinary" to describe it, but Li Ming thinks that face is very attractive and comfortable, which is very strange. After seeing her in the Liu Mansion, he never forgot that face... …

What is he thinking...

Li Ming's mind exploded in coaxing, Chang Sui waited aside and saw that he didn't respond, and asked tentatively: "Master, but you drank too much wine today? See how red your face is..."

Li Ming was startled again, then shook his head with a broken smile, and asked after a while, "Tell me, is there really a lack of a wife in the mansion?"

The long follower let out an "Ah", seeing Li Ming's drunken eyes, he murmured in his heart: Master is over 30 years old and doesn't even have a concubine, many people gossip about Master's "no way" in private... But he replied cautiously on the face : "The master said that the lack is the lack..."

Li Ming laughed out loud.

After staying for a few days, the Liu Mansion suddenly became very lively. Princess Funing came to the door without warning, and Liu Qinghan welcomed the royal nobleman into the door in fear.Without a female relative to greet her, Liu Qinghan had no choice but to ask someone to invite Liu Biyan to accompany her.

Princess Funing held Liu Biyan's hand and looked at her carefully for a moment, then said with a smile: "Master Liu, the more I look at your daughter, the more I like her. I have heard about her and I will stay in my boudoir. I will go over and replace her." How about she promise a marriage?"

Liu Qinghan was stunned for a moment, and Liu Biyan also opened her eyes suddenly, she refused without thinking, "Thank you princess for your love, it's just that Biyan..."

Before finishing the refusal, Princess Funing smiled and said: "Everyone in Beijing knows that I like to be a matchmaker. Although I am not a matchmaker, I will consider all aspects of marriage. There are many marriages. The couple are both harmonious and beautiful. Today, I am here for Miss Liu's marriage. Some people come to visit, I beg me to come and propose marriage."

Liu Qinghan opened his eyes even wider.

Who is this person who can enter the mansion of the eldest princess Funing, and who can invite the eldest princess to come to her door to propose marriage?

Princess Funing patted Liu Biyan's little hand, and sighed: "I know what happened to you, and I also feel pity for what happened to you. I also think about inviting you to the flower viewing party in the next post. You are young and always You can't waste your life just because of a scum, if you can take this opportunity to find a lover, this palace will also be a merit." Said, Princess Funing clapped her hands and smiled: "I didn't expect that I did the right thing."

Princess Funing looked at Liu Qinghan and said with a smile: "Master Liu should know Li Jizhi, a cabinet servant. Master Li invited me to come here and propose marriage to the Liu family. He wants to marry Miss Liu."
