Thinking of this, King Sui strode off the boat, walked to Miantang who was walking slowly with Fang Xie's support, and said with a smile, "You and I are destined to meet here."

      All in all, a handsome man.

    She never seems to have seen him. So she frowned and asked, "Who are you...?"

    No wonder Miantang couldn't recognize it, Sui Wang Liu Pei used to dress up with hair for cultivation, with disheveled hair and a full beard.

     

    Liu Pei saw that she could not recognize himself, and his smile deepened: "I bought porcelain from your shop before, and you entertained me personally, why did you forget?"

    When Miantang heard it, she was the former client of the porcelain shop in Lingquan Town, and she was just such a distinguished guest. How could she have no impression at all?

    At the moment, she also smiled to cope with it, and turned around to get on the boat.

      Western State."

    Mian Tang squinted his eyes and looked at him again, feeling that such a cheeky person was familiar.

    At this moment, Mama Li reminded Miantang silently: "Miss, he is King Sui..."

     Of course, Mama Li had seen Sui Wang when she was a teenager. At that time, he was already a tall man, but he didn't have a beard. However, King Sui did not recognize that Li's mother was a servant of the Huaiyang Palace.

    Only after seeing what the old woman said in her ears, Miantang's eyes became sharp, she took a deep look at him and said: "Your Excellency always stops women like this in the street, and wants people. Guide yourself?"

     King Sui smiled: "Dividing people, not everyone deserves to be with me..."

    "Foster father, they said that the carriage broke halfway, when will a new one be sent..." Yun Niang also just got off the boat and heard the guard's words just now, so she rushed over to follow Sui Wang speaks.

    The King of Sui had a strong back, just covering Miantang in front of him.

    It wasn't until Yunniang got closer that she saw Liu Miantang standing there.

    Yunniang did not expect to see Miantang here, as if she had been strangled by the neck, and she was speechless.

    Miantang took a deep look at Yunniang. The eldest uncle once said that she stayed in Yangshan for a long time, and this Yunniang seemed to be also the admirer of Mr. Ziyu, and in the end it seemed that she didn't get along very well.

    And...remembering that in Lingquan Town, Yun Niang hired a fat man to pretend to be Cui Jiu, really not a good bird!

     

    The last time Yunniang saw Liu Miantang was in Lingquan Town, and she was beaten to the point where her nose was bruised and her face was bruised. Now, seeing how she was gearing up, she shrank back in fright.

    Sui Wang glanced at Yunniang, she immediately stepped back and stopped disturbing her foster father.

    Liu Pei smiled and said again: "I'm looking at you, but I'll come to you later..." After he finished speaking, he didn't ask where she lived, he turned and left with a smile.

    Miantang knew that depending on King Sui's ability, it was easy to find out where she lived, but she couldn't figure out why he appeared here, and why did he keep pestering her?

    The king of Sui is not here to seek Miantang. He turned back from the capital this time, originally planning to come to Xizhou to visit a talented person.

    This person was originally from the Temple Temptation Flower, and his literary talent was outstanding. Unfortunately, because he was implicated in a crony case, he was demoted from the capital. He used to be idle in Zhenzhou for a period of time, and recently he became an official, but he was only a small county magistrate in Xizhou.

    There are many people around King Sui who are flattering, but there are not many people who are knowledgeable and can do things steadfastly. That Li Guangcai was very talented, but he was very close to Cui Xingzhou at the beginning. It's a pity that he voted for the wrong master. Cui Xingzhou is now gaining momentum, but he has been demoted to become the county chief of Xizhou. He must have been outraged.

    The King of Sui likes to dig into people's corners, men and women are not limited, men look at talent, and women look at appearance.

    Li Guangcai is not good-looking, but he has the ability. When King Sui returned from the capital, he poached the talents that King Huaiyang neglected.

    But he didn't expect to meet Liu Miantang when he got off the boat.

    For Liu Miantang, King Sui couldn't say whether she liked her talent or her looks.

    For a while, King Sui was not in a hurry to visit Li Guangcai. I only stayed in the Xizhou Bieyuan arranged by my subordinates. By the way, I sent someone to find out how this little lady who went to the northwest with the army came here.

    The people who were sent by King Sui to catch Liu Miantang were all fed to the northwest wolf.

    Although he had the intention to send another person, but Liu Miantang's husband was in the army of King Huaiyang, and it was not easy to scare the snake, and it alarmed Cui Xingzhou's fellow, so he took a break for a while.

    Now that I meet again, King Sui's appetite is full.

    But Yunniang knew about the Lu family, so she said to her foster father: "Miantang's grandfather is in Xizhou, maybe she went to the Lu family. Her second uncle Lu Mu and I It's familiar, wait until I go and check his tone."

    The king of Sui drank the fragrant tea presented by his concubine, took a sip, and asked squintingly, "You are so positive, why can't you marry Tzuyu and want to rebuild the sisterhood with Liu Miantang? "

     Yun Niang's face was tense.

    If it wasn't for her father waiting for the old part of the East Palace to stop her, she would have been Tzuyu's wife long ago. How could he let him marry Shi Zongbing's fat daughter? Thinking of going to Beijing, seeing Ziyu and Miss Shi's husband and wife raising their eyebrows together, Yun Niang felt a burst of hatred in her heart!

    That Miss Shi has only been married to Ziyu for less than a year, but she is already pregnant...

    But Yunniang knew that neither she nor that Miss Shi was the one who Tzuyu really had in her heart. Once Tzuyu succeeds, I am afraid that he will welcome Miantang back and enter the Phoenix Palace.

    Thinking about her intentional presupposition in front of Ziyu, Miss Shi was pregnant, and when Miantang was afraid she also gave birth to a child for the merchant, Ziyu said with a light expression: "In the future, if she is willing, Children can also be brought into the capital.”

    The implication was that no matter what, he would never dislike Liu Miantang.

    Now the old members of the East Palace are using the Shi family, she can't do anything with that Miss Shi. But when things come to fruition in the future, Liu Miantang don't think about sitting back and enjoying it!

    Only when Liu Miantang completely smears his reputation, can Ziyu not be picked up!

    Niang Yun knew that King Sui looked at Liu Miantang wrongly. If King Sui had a temper, she would definitely get the woman she liked. When Miantang becomes King Sui's plaything, let's see how Ziyu will take over his uncle's leftovers.

     And Miantang's temperament is so strong, no one can change what she doesn't want.

    Yunniang thought about the scene where all the jade and stones were burned, and she felt an inexplicable joy in her heart.

    So King Sui wanted to know Liu Miantang's current situation, of course she was very positive.

    As for the situation of the Lu family, it came very quickly.

    Yunniang motioned her acquaintances to look for Lu Mu to reminisce, and after promising him some favors, she coaxed and cheated, saying that she saw Miantang join the army in the northwest with a man. Said the leak was leaking.

    It turned out that Miantang knew that her previous husband was a fake bastard. After sleeping with a man for two years without any match, she only tore her face with the scoundrel, and resolutely She followed her uncle back to the Lu family.

    It's just that the matter of being cheated into marriage is too tarnished, so the Lu family kept it a secret and said that Miantang was seriously ill and just came back from recuperation.

    As for Miantang's brain, it was still chaotic and did not regain her memory.

     King Sui raised her eyebrows and said, "So, she is not married yet... She is not too young, her family is not in a hurry."

    Yunniang lowered her eyebrows and said: "It's useless to be anxious, they are all broken people, they can only lie to their husband's family to get married... But that kind of child looks like, if you get it To serve by my side, it doesn't hinder the joy of the fathers..."

    The King of Sui laughed and said sarcastically: "It's like the old bustard in the alley... Liu Miantang has a sister with a different surname like you, it's really fortunate for three lives, you Is it forcing me to be the villain who seizes the good family?"

    Niang Yun was startled, and hurriedly said in a low voice, "Daughter dare not! How is the adoptive father such a son! You only know Liu Miantang's evil foundation, and you want to take her to trial. …”

     King Sui nodded and said, "Since there is a trial, it is better to be justified."

    As a result, the next day, the king of Sui found a matchmaker, wrote a post of worship in person, attached his birth date, and ordered the housekeeper to buy five carriages as a betrothal gift, which was led by the matchmaker. Lu Mansion hired him.

    Yunniang looked at the dowry gifts and compared them to the specifications of the concubine, and couldn't help but be surprised.

     King Sui's wife is his cousin, the niece of the Empress Dowager. However, the concubine Zheng had a soft temper and couldn't control King Sui.

    Fortunately, King Sui gave face to his uncle's family and never formally took concubines.

     

    If Miantang really should accept the letter of appointment of King Sui, then she is a concubine who has officially passed the ceremony and can give birth to a child to King Sui!

    He De He Neng, a man who was tricked into sleeping by a man for two years? To be able to step up the sky and become the concubine of King Sui?

    But King Sui really wanted to accept Miantang. A kitten who has lost hands and feet is not so powerful.

    She was deceived and knew that she could not get a good marriage. When he handed over the letter of appointment, the entire Lu family would be grateful.

     

    Since it is a serious concubine, the proper etiquette will not fall. So when King Sui's five-car dowry blocked the Lu family's house, the street was full of onlookers.

    Have the concierge ever seen this? Although he had received a prince before, but such a prince with an imperial surname has never been received before!

      , there is a prince who wants... to come to the door to propose marriage!"

     

    until the concierge said it again. Only then did he get up, change his clothes, and go to the door to welcome the envoy from the palace.

    There are so many girls in the family, who is this prince who came out of nowhere to marry!

    Lu Wu can only ask clearly when he sees someone coming!

    When she went to the door and greeted the steward of the palace and the matchmaker who proposed marriage, the matchmaker was so happy that three chrysanthemums could be twisted out of her face, and she congratulated the Lu family on their success marriage.

    Lu Wu looked at the two sons beside him suspiciously, and they seemed to be at a loss. It's just that when the matchmaker said that it was King Sui, the son of the late emperor, who proposed marriage, the second child showed a happy expression and rubbed his hands with joy. And the boss's face changed, and he seemed to be a little shy.

    When Lu Wu asked which girl Sui Wang was going to marry, the matchmaker smiled and said, "It's your old granddaughter Liu Miantang! When I saw Miss Liu, I was truly amazed and fell in love at first sight! After I found out that it was your girl, the five chariots of dowry were immediately ready. Prince Sui's age is good. When he is in spirit, his house is also clean, and there is only one concubine above, who is gentle and elegant, and the most considerate. The concubine has given birth to a son, and you girls have passed the status of noble concubines, and you can rest assured. Ye, give birth to a son by your side! When the **** ye asks for a title from the long live lord, then he will be a serious side concubine..."

    When Lu Wu heard that King Sui wanted to accept Miantang, his face darkened.

    Not waiting for the matchmaker to finish talking, he said: "My granddaughter is a savage girl! It is unbearable to enter the royal palace to serve the nobles. The old man thanked King Sui for his wrong love first, and I also invite you all Bring back the engagement letter and the engagement gift!"

    The matchmaker never imagined that the old man Lu Wu would refuse such a wealthy marriage without hesitation.

    The steward who came for King Sui's face was not very good-looking, and he said arrogantly: "Is Mrs. Lu being too arbitrary? You should think about it safely. If you miss this time, don't delay your granddaughter's life!"

    Lu Mu was also in a hurry. He knew that the Sui King was much richer than the previous Huainan Marquis. When the Huainan Queen heard that Miantang had left, he was in a state of despair, but he left in a hurry without mentioning the marriage.

    The Su family also left after setting a date for the ceremony with his family. At that time, he was also a little regretful, and felt that he had not been able to attach a wealthy marriage to Miantang.

     

    It's a pity that Daddy is confused, how can he refuse this? Isn't this washing the necks of the whole family and waiting for someone to chop them off!

    After the steward said this arrogantly, he handed over another letter that King Sui had prepared to him early in the morning to Mrs. Lu.

    "Master, this is a letter from King Sui to Miss Liu, you may as well read it first, and then decide whether to agree or not. Without our prince's instructions, I would never dare to bring back the dowry. Just put it in your Lu family first!"

    After saying this, the steward waved his sleeves, led the matchmaker and left the house.

    And the betrothal gifts of the five cars were parked in front of the Lu family's door.

    Lu Mu walked around the five chariots a few times, and came back to ask the old man what to do.

    But Lu Wu didn't even look at him, he just held the letter, and his hands were already shaking.

    Then the old hero raised his eyes, stared fiercely at his eldest son, and said word by word, "Lu Xian! Get me into the study!"

    Lu Xian knew something was wrong when he heard the name "Sui Wang". Now seeing Daddy staring, he immediately followed the old man into the study.

    When he entered the study, Mr. Lu slapped the letter on his eldest son's face and asked fiercely, "Is this letter true?"

    Lu Xian bit the bullet and picked up the stationery, looking at it like this.

     King Sui wickedly told Miantang that he had mistrusted the merchant and had been a fake couple for a long time. , he is perfectly forgiven. I also hope that Miss Liu will not feel ashamed and refuse to trust her for life. When he entered the palace, he would let go of the past and properly mention her to cover up this unbearable past. From now on, you can rest assured to have a child for him, be a concubine of the palace, and enjoy wealth and glory...

    As for Lu Xian's smuggling of minerals in the northwest and the falling grass in Yangshan, the Sui King did not mention a word.

    But this part is enough to blow the old man's heart and lungs.

    When Lu Xian read the letter, but did not refute, the old man leaned back on the chair, and his heart was completely cold.

    It seems that what Sui Wang said is actually true! How did he, the uncle, take care of Miantang? How could she be deceived into such a state by a dog man who appeared out of nowhere!

    And this King Sui seems to be generous and kind, but his meaning is clear-if Miantang refuses to accept this marriage, he will tell the village about Miantang's loss, and completely Ruined her reputation, ruined her life!

    Thinking of where the anger was coming from, the old man couldn't bear it any longer, holding up his crutches and began to beat Lu Xian again.

    Lu Xian didn't dare to hide, he just held his head and suffered.

    He didn't dare to say the part about Yangshan and King Huaiyang. Seeing his father's coughing and panting, he couldn't stand it anymore. He had done Yangshan deeds, and the prince who was waiting to marry Miantang as his concubine had already lined up.

    When Miantang got the letter and came to the study, Lu Xian had already been beaten to the point of humming.

    She hurriedly pushed open the door of the study and reached out to catch her grandfather's crutches: "Father, don't hit your uncle... It's all my fault, I've caused trouble for the family."

     

    Miantang bowed her head and threw herself in front of her grandfather, her eyes falling on the piece of letter paper that had been dropped on the ground.

    The words written above are really vicious threats!

    Miantang couldn't help biting her lip.

    Lu Wu also knows that now is not the time to ask for guilt. The Sui King took advantage of Miantang's reputation and threatened to take a concubine. Although Miantang kept saying that he didn't care about fame, those were all children's words.

    In Lu Wu's view, women live in the world, how can they not value reputation? But if he succumbed to the threat of King Sui and entered his palace, it was absolutely impossible.

    Although he didn't see the Sui King, he might have done such a coercive thing, and it's not a good match. What's more, for an orphan like Miantang to be the concubine of the lord, it is like a family as deep as the sea. Isn't it because she has been squeezed between life and death, and has no room to decide?

    Thinking of this, no amount of sulking can last long, Lu Wu quickly calmed down and asked Miantang what she thought. Where is that cheating man now? Can you come back and make up for the wedding with Miantang?

    To be honest, Mian Tang is in the army and has no intention of marrying her, so he probably won't come.

    Lu Wu frowned and gritted his teeth, scolding Lu Xian again, since he was in the northwest at the time, why did he keep that guy and not interrupt the liar and irresponsible dog's legs?

    Lu Xian didn't dare to say that the liar was the coach of the Northwest. He only secretly winked at Miantang, telling her not to reveal the bottom, otherwise his father was destined to lose his temper today.

    To be honest, Miantang didn't think that King Sui would actually take her as a concubine. But think about it, when he thought he was a businesswoman, he was able to loot.

    Now that I know that I was deceived into marriage, and that I did not really marry, I naturally have no scruples.

    If it had been earlier, she could not have said anything. But when she was in Youzhou, the King of Huaiyang told her that she was not allowed to marry. So on this matter, the king should touch the king and let the two princes discuss it by themselves.

    After comforting her grandfather and telling him not to worry too much, wait for things to slow down, and then think about how to retire from the dowry, Miantang returned to his house and wrote a letter to Cui Xingzhou.

    There is no modification in the letter, except that she is now in front of the mansion gate, and those who want to take concubines are lined up. King Sui pinched himself and wanted to force marriage.

    After writing the letter, Fan Hu, whom Miantang called, gave the letter to him.

    He had his own way to quickly deliver the letter to Cui Xingzhou.

    But Miantang knows that far away can't quench near thirst. This matter is right in front of you. How to decline the dowry gift is something you have to face. Otherwise, it will always be piled up at the door.

    But at this moment, Fang Xie hurried in and said, "Miss, another adult has come to the door."

    Bicao was startled when she heard the words of adults and nobles, and said anxiously: "Wouldn't it be the former Huainan Marquis who came to join in the fun?"

    Fang Xie glared at her and said: "That Hou Ye left on the road long ago when the young lady left. Where can I come back for fun! This time it's our local county magistrate, Mr. Li Guangcai!"

    Mian Tang frowned slightly, turned around and looked at Li's mother: "What is he here for?"

    Mama Li didn't know either. But in her opinion, the prince of her own family couldn't put down a hundred Miss Liu. I'm afraid that Sui Wang will provoke his own prince again by taking the food from the tiger's mouth.

    Looking at Liu Miantang, Mama Li sighed secretly. A little girl who has no background to rely on, but she still looks so good, how can she be alone? Is it really destined to be a concubine's life?

    Mian Tang got up and went to the front hall, wanting to hear what Mr. Li was doing.
