The Possession of My Beloved

    Speaking of this, Liu Miantang took a deep breath: "Fortunately, the concubine has a birthday banquet every year. Although our Jade Burning Porcelain Workshop missed this year's one, there is still another year's. It's just that Wangye Jingui, I don’t know when he will come to our Lingquan Town. Why don’t I inquire about his itinerary, stop halfway, and donate the treasure of our store. After receiving the appreciation of the king, I will cook it for the toffee next year. A plate, with the portrait of the prince painted on it, and a few small birthday characters indented in both eyes, will definitely be able to win the favor of the concubine..."

    Cui Xingzhou laughed out loud when he heard Miantang's ingenious birthday gift, but the laughter was somewhat meaningful.

    Cui Xingzhou smiled slightly, and said gently: "You are not a bandit who robbed houses, how can there be any reason to stop the official car? At that time, I am afraid that your plate will not be presented, first I was beaten with a few sticks to kill the mighty stick. Besides, what you said about the picture with longevity in the eyes... I'm afraid that the lord is willing, and that lonely Mr. Chen is still unwilling to follow the custom!"

    In fact, although Miantang's idea was refuted, she respectfully peeled another shrimp and added it to Xianggong's bowl.

    Don't look at the husband who doesn't ask about common affairs on weekdays, but he can analyze problems in a clear and thoughtful way, which is really admirable!

      some.

    The reason why Cui Jiu laughed was because she felt that this woman had broken her head and sometimes acted very boldly, not like a boudoir girl raised by an official family.

    She is nodding to herself now... But what if she turns around and goes to stop the sedan chair again?

    Besides, this little lady Liu used to be in a bandit den, and sometimes her words were stained with bandit anger. I'm afraid she can't change it for a while, if she doesn't completely eradicate her thoughts. Maybe she will get stuck in front of his carriage like she did in front of the restaurant last time.

    Thinking of this, Cui Jiu drank the delicious fish porridge and said slowly: "In a few days, Qingzhou's chief soldier Shi Yikuan will hold a tea party to appreciate calligraphy and painting. He loves Danqing masters the most in his life. If you can enter this tea party and present the plate to General Shi, you will definitely be rewarded by him."

    Since Lu Wen has the heart to go to Shi Yikuan, he might as well ask Miantang to walk around Qingzhou and see if he can lead Lu Wen to appear.

    What he didn't expect was that Miantang said without hesitation: "I have already inquired about this early in the morning, husband, you may not know, that Shi Yikuan loves to collect calligraphy and painting, but also to beautiful people. Women also have some hobbies for collecting. This person actually has nine concubines... In my opinion, it would be safer to intercept King Huaiyang's carriages and horses! Apart from being a little dazed, that King Huaiyang has never heard of bullying male bullies. A woman's act..."

    Because of her appearance, a thief was introduced into the courtyard wall before, which could not help but wake her up. After all, after she was injured, she was no longer the agile Liu Miantang from before...

    Just as she finished speaking, the servant Mo Ru coughed again from the low table, apparently choked by the other half of the egg.

    Actually, Cui Jiu himself was not sure, whether he should be relieved that Mrs. Liu recognized his conduct, and should punish her for that sentence "fainted".

    He didn't move his brows, but said gently: "The famous calligraphy and painting meeting of the class is not something that ordinary people can go to, and it must be recommended by famous people. You are just joining in the fun, Let's see if I can get a chance... Even if I can't go to the official calligraphy and painting tea party, but before the tea party, there is a hot garden market, which is very lively. If you go there to set up a stall, maybe you can buy some goods. The fabric is good, and now is the time to draw silk and weave, and when I find something suitable, I will just pull the cloth and make a shirt for you."

    Liu Miantang's heart softened, feeling that officials are really considerate! He was actually thinking about taking her out to play, and thanked her softly: "Husband, it would be good if you have the heart. I have a lot of clothes, so I don't need to spend money to pull the cloth."

    Cui Xingzhou glanced at her half-worn cuffs and said, "It's okay, I've won a few more chess games in the past few days. Just in time to buy you some good fabrics."

    Speaking, he put the silver bag that Mo Ru had prepared for him earlier on the dining table.

    Listen to Mo Ru, this is called "Jiaojia" in ordinary people's homes. The money that a man earns when he goes out to make a living should be given to the woman in charge. If he never pays the money, and the family spends a lot of money, Liu Miantang will be suspicious.

    She is such an astute person, after hearing that he made money playing chess, she never opened her mouth to ask him to have a family. It can be seen that she was used to being controlled by the leader of the rebel, and dared not Just want it.

    Since he reminded him, he naturally gave her some, and let her have more money, so that she would not have a hard life haha.

    So, Cui Xingzhou asked Mo Ru to prepare a copy.

    However, when he looked at Lady Liu, who was holding a purse and looked flattered, he still felt that she was too excited, and the circles of her eyes were flushed with tears.

    Is it possible that he is complaining that his family is too late and feels wronged?

    She had heard Mo Ru say that her husband made money by gambling chess, thinking that he was only earning some pocket money, but she did not expect it to be such a heavy bag!

    When Liu Miantang had nothing to do, he chatted with the neighbors about melon seeds, and heard about the bad hobbies of many businessmen in the neighbors, such as traveling on flower boats, eating wine at night... and earning a lot of money outside Ping, but do not pay the family, blindly subsidize the outer room, such as Zhang Guanren who was hooked by the fox spirit in the rice shop.

    The official earned money that was not on the books, which could have been spent freely, but all of it was handed over to her. A man who lives his life honestly.

    Liu Miantang couldn't help feeling ashamed of her suspicions about her husband a few days ago. A gentleman as gentle as an official, if you think of him as bad, you'll get your heart and lungs dirty and your intestines broken, and you really deserve to be beaten!

    For a time, she looked at Cui Jiu's pair of winks, and she burst into tears of shame.

    At this moment, the official said softly again: "It's because I paid too little... I'll give you more in the future."

    Listen to this, it makes her feel so guilty! Emotional officials are still guilty of not being able to support their family and paying too little!

      I don't have the ability, so my husband can't learn chess at ease, always worrying about the family's livelihood!"

    I don't know what happened over there, her throat suddenly narrowed, and she seemed to be choking again.

      His breath seemed to itch slightly.

    After a moment of pause, Cui Jiu slowly stretched out his arms expressionlessly and gently patted Lady Liu, who was constantly choking and crying, and suddenly understood why those men with flat heads had to leave the house—about working After a tearful joy in exchange for one's own woman, in a life as mediocre as an ant, can it also add a little sense of satisfaction?

    Because of her husband's ability, Liu Miantang, who is wearing a lot of makeup and jewelry, is also looking forward to her trip to Qingzhou.

    In order to earn money for the shop, she actually inquired about the noble people who were famous in the area of ​​​​Zhenzhou, and listed them on a piece of paper and compared them carefully, so the official mentioned it. Only during this painting and calligraphy meeting can she speak out about the shortcomings of this time.

    Although Shi Yikuan was not as loud as the King of Huaiyang, he was indeed closer than the King of Huaiyang. If in Qingzhou, she finds a way to join the poetry and painting tea party with a plate, the future will be bright!

    My husband works so hard for the sake of the store, and she naturally has to do her best!

    If your own porcelain is appreciated, it can be regarded as opening the circle of officials. Porcelain sells at high prices and is just around the corner.

    The most gratifying thing to her is that the official has finally paid attention to his own business. It can be seen that his previous escape was all because he could not bear failure and bankruptcy. Now that the students' opinions have improved, and the officials have finally recovered their spirits, it is really gratifying to congratulate them.

    A few days before the Qingzhou Calligraphy and Painting Fair, Cui Jiu hired a carriage to send Liu Miantang and his wife to Qingzhou first.

    But Cui Jiu was not with her. According to officials, the homework for playing chess is tight these days. I am afraid that he will not be able to come until the poetry festival starts.

    Miantang's long-cherished wish to travel with her husband could not be fulfilled for the time being, but this did not extinguish the joy of her first visit to Qingzhou Market.

    She is only eighteen years old now, when the girls like to play.

    It's just that she had a hard time living in the capital before, so she can't go out and spend money. After arriving in Zhenzhou, the family business was pending again, and she had to take care of everything herself, which naturally reduced her interest in playing.

    Now, Miantang has a silver bag from her husband hanging around her waist, and she has a lot of free time.

    But although she has the heart to buy it, it is not for herself. Mr. Chen's gown is too old to meet people. She pulled two navy blue fabrics from the cloth shop and made a long gown for Mr. Chen.

    My husband also has to do it. Miantang chose and chose, but still felt that the moon-white material complemented the calm and elegant temperament of officials.

    As for herself, under the constant persuasion of Li's mother, she gritted her teeth and tugged at the thin cotton so that she could make a summer skirt.

    In addition, when Miantang passed the jade shop, she accidentally saw a chessboard made of jade.

    The chessboard with suet white jade as the base, the same fine texture of the white stones, the pieces are transparent, and the black stones are carved from the precious black jade.

     Looking at the chessboard, Mian Tang couldn't help but imagine her husband's elegant appearance with slender fingers, gently turning his moves, and his mind moved for a moment, only to think that this chessboard should be her family official is right.

     After Ke Miantang couldn't wait to ask the price, she fell silent.

    The shopkeeper said that this pair was reserved and had not been picked up yet. And the price is really astonishing, she can't afford it at all.

     But Miantang is not discouraged. She has rarely been discouraged since she was a child. Although her father is not proud of her, she can achieve what she wants in the end. Sometimes her father was frightened by her daring actions, always scolding her for being contaminated by her mother's anger, and she would have to be rejected by her in-laws when she married in the future.

    Fortunately, her father's curse did not come true. The husband she married was gentle and considerate, and never restrained her with those red tapes. The desire to grow old together is very exciting in the days when the water is flowing.

    Reluctantly, she looked at the chessboard again, Miantang decided that after the shop made money, she would save money to buy another jade chessboard for her husband.

    However, just as Miantang left reluctantly, a tall and handsome man came out of the room, staring straight at her retreating back.

    The author has something to say:  Miantang: I can use my husband's money to travel to Qingzhou and start the days of buying, buying and buying~~~ I am so happy~~~~~~
