The Possession of My Beloved

    Although Zhenzhou has recently built water conservancy, many people have not thought of the reason why the land is connected by inland rivers.

    If her master is really a businessman, she can sit and wait for the price of this remote shop to appreciate.

    Liu Miantang was talking excitedly, when she heard a playful laughter from outside the shop: "Jiu Ye, you have this good wife, and you will be rich enough to rival the country just around the corner!"

    Liu Miantang looked up, and it turned out that Zhao Shenyi, who treated her, was standing side by side with her husband Cui Jiu.

    They are both tall and handsome men, dressed in brocade clothes and jade crowns, which are really provocative. Fortunately, this is a remote alley, otherwise Cui Jiu alone would have caused passing girls to stop and look.

    Liu Miantang hadn't seen an official for a few days, and when she met here at this time, she felt a little surprised, and hurriedly came over and saluted the two of them: "How did the official and the genius doctor come here? already?"

    Zhao Quan replied with a smile: "I went to Linxian with Cui Jiuye to visit friends. When I came back today, I happened to see you leading the craftsman here, so I also came to see..."

     Zhao Quan looks at Liu Miantang now, and the more he sees it, the more comfortable he is. Although there are many wives and concubines in his mansion, they are all able to spend money and cannot manage them.

    His first wife is the daughter of An Guogong, she is dull, influenced by her mother, obsessed with Buddhism, if it wasn't for An Guogong to stop her, she would have decided to become a nun before marriage.

    Those who study Buddhism pay attention to being peaceful and open-minded. But his virtuous wife is good, she has learned to go crazy and ignore worldly affairs. After getting married, there is no husband and wife interest at all, Zhao Quan is not as pleasant as a wooden fish in her eyes.

    There is a mistress who spends all day in the Buddhist hall, and the chores of the Hou residence are also a mess. Therefore, Lord Zhao thought about it, if he begged Liu Miantang to come back in the future, if he was as smart as her, he would definitely be able to support the general affairs of the Hou residence.

    Miantang smiled reservedly when she heard this. Afraid that officials would be in a hurry, after the shop was set, Miantang hired a few craftsmen from the West City to prepare to repair the house.

    In order to save money, she and her two mother-in-law do a lot of labor-intensive work.

    Therefore, the shop is a bit messy for a while, and it is not easy to sit.

    Miantang looked at the white shirts the officials were wearing today, which were spotless and not suitable for staying in a shop where the smell of soot was cautious, and said, "I'll ask Mama Li to come back first. The house is cooking, and the officials can bring Zhao Shenyi back to the house to rest first."

    However, Zhao Houye had some secret plans in his heart, and then looking at Mrs. Miantang, he naturally brought a bit of distress towards his own family.

    Seeing that after she turned back to the store, she took the skirt up and tore the old oil paper on the wall, Hou Ye immediately rolled up his sleeves and said: "Liu Gu... Madam come down and rest, I will do it for you That's it."

    Speaking, he rushed forward and tore up the oiled paper. Seeing that the Hou Ye had climbed high, the servant who followed him naturally had to watch, so he also went to help.

    Cui Xingzhou's servant Mo Ru brought a chair from the shop and placed it in front of the door for the prince to sit in peace.

    Cui Xingzhou did not sit down, although it was early in the morning and the streets were very quiet, but if he sat down, wouldn't it prevent Liu Miantang from seducing the enemy?

    But he looked coldly at Zhao Quan's unusual diligence and ability, but he could understand Zhennan Hou's mind. I was really fascinated by Liu Miantang...

    Thinking of this, he raised his voice: "Brother Zhao, the chess meeting is going to be late..."

    Cui Xingzhou's voice was not loud, but those who knew him should know that he was not happy. Only then did Zhao Quan remember that he and Cui Xingzhou took a simple walk today, and they were going to meet the lay Buddhist Dongxi who came here for a while.

    Jushi Dongxi has a eccentric temperament, but he is very skilled at chess.

    So Marquis Zhao hurriedly pulled out two more pieces of oiled paper, and smiled apologetically at Liu Miantang, "I'm busy today, I'll definitely come to help you later."

    Liu Miantang smiled and wrapped the blue scarf tightly around her head and said, "You are so polite, doctor, how can I bother you with such rough work?"

    Zhao Quan jumped off the table, took the wet wipes and tea handed by the servant, and sincerely said: "I and Jiuye are as close as brothers, and you are also a 'magic doctor', so called Let's call my name 'Jiayu'."

    Liu Miantang smiled, but how could she just call the surnames of officials and friends? So she changed her mouth and said, "It seems that Mr. Zhao is short of water in your life. The name and the name complement each other."

    After the two got back into the carriage, Lord Zhao was still not satisfied, and frequently looked up at the beautiful woman who was standing in front of the shop to see off her husband.

    It was not until the carriage turned a corner that he reluctantly retracted his head.

    Cui Xingzhou felt that it was necessary to wake up his friend who had gone astray, so he said lightly: "Master Hou has a good heart, but it doesn't have to be too much. You must know that the woman is the family of a rebel after all. must be implicated.”

    Zhao Quan didn't like to hear this, so he glared slightly: "The good family that was robbed by the thieves, what kind of family is the family of the rebels... When this matter is over, you must uphold justice, my lord, and return Miss Liu A fair one!"

    Cui Xingzhou felt that her friend was a little ignorant of the world, so she didn't want to talk nonsense with him, she just picked up the scroll that was set aside, flipped through it, and said gently: "Her father and brother are all guilty and have already Homeless and stigmatized, she is not allowed to live in the world. If she helps this king to make great achievements, I will reward her with some silver taels, go to the temple and become a nun, and live the rest of my life in peace."

    Zhao Quan was challenged by his wife who was obsessed with Buddhist scriptures, and now his head hurts when he hears the word "miaoan". .

    He finally fell in love with a woman, but Cui Xingzhou actually had to send it to the temple!

    Zhao Houye felt unhappy at the moment, thinking that maybe his friend didn't understand his thoughts towards that woman, so he was so cold-hearted, so he said: "Jiuye, you are also a good thing, and you will soon be with him. Lian's second cousin got married and made a beautiful couple, pity me for having a family name, but no one cares about the warmth every day, the only thing missing is the lovely girl like Liu..."

    It's a pity that this was said, but no one said anything.

    The King of Huaiyang leaned on the cushion of the carriage, rested his forehead with one hand, and read the book seriously, as if he was not very interested in the good things he was about to approach.

    The second Miss Lian mentioned by Zhao Quan is actually Cui Xingzhou's mother and the niece of the old princess of Chu.

    In those days, the old prince was romantic by nature, but after the old princess passed the door, she had a bad relationship with the old prince. After six years of marriage, there was only one daughter, but no direct son.

    The old prince Cui Xie waited impatiently, so he took three concubines, took turns to sit in the village for four years, and gave birth to eight concubines.

    In the seventh year, the sesame oil money donated by the old princess moved the concubine.

    So although Cui Xingzhou has the title of the first son, he is the ninth oldest brother in the family.

    The concubines were from good families, and they all had sons in their houses. The open and secret battles in the palace are comparable to the deep **** of the palace, which is enough for storytellers to speak rotten.

    What's more important is her son's success.

    In short, when the old prince passed away and Cui Xingzhou inherited the title, there were only four brothers left on his head.

      When it was time for Cui Xingzhou to get married, the choice of the new princess was naturally cautious. The first is to be gentle, not domineering.

    He is not good at femininity, and does not want to marry a concubine.

    Finally, at the suggestion of the old princess. He chose his cousin Lian Lilan, who had a temperament like his mother.

    Lian Lilan is the sister of the old princess, the second daughter of Zhao Chu's family, and her father is Lian Hanshan, the uncle of Zhao Quan, the marquis of Zhennan.

    So Miss Lian Er is not only Cui Xingzhou's aunt's cousin, but also Zhao Quanhou's uncle's cousin.

    Cui Xingzhou and Zhao Quan are also added to the table, breaking the bones and connecting the tendons.

    Cousin Lian was sitting on a lot of excellent cousins ​​back then, and she almost dazzled her eyes. In the end, she chose a handsome prince like Cui Xingzhou, and she envy the young ladies of other families.

    Unfortunately, nothing is perfect, Miss Lian's grandmother choked on peaches two years ago and died suddenly. This kind of accident caught the children of the house by surprise and failed to avoid the mourning period and get married early.

    The wedding of Lian Lilan and Cui Xingzhou had to be postponed for three years.

    Two years have passed now, and after another year, the Huaiyang Palace will welcome the hostess.

    However, the old princess of Chu often misses her future daughter-in-law, and because she is lonely without anyone to accompany her, she often brings her to her palace.

    Cui Xingzhou didn't question her mother's decision, and she didn't want her cousin to be criticized before she walked in. Therefore, when Lian Lilan was a guest at the palace, he avoided returning to the palace, lest he would be passed down as a private party during the filial piety period, smear each other's reputation, and give advice to officials.

    In all, he has not returned to the palace for half a year. After this chess meeting, he will rush back to attend his mother's birthday banquet.

    The chess game with Shanren will be very enjoyable. Cui Xingzhou is a master at chess. In his spare time, he doesn't like the hustle and bustle of banquets.

    The rumors of impeachment against him for having self-respect for his troops are getting louder recently. Long live is also waiting for him to personally hand in the military talisman and disband the local army.

    Cui Xingzhou was too lazy to deal with the verbal temptation of a bunch of bureaucrats, but got along well with casual people like Zhao Quan and Dongquan layman.

    After the half-day chess meeting, the layman Dongquan, who did not like to boast, praised: "I haven't seen you for a few days, King Huaiyang, your move has been a little bit tricky, and your opponent, when It's really fun!"

    Speaking, he took out a remnant of the chess manual and said: "I would like to admit defeat, I will lose you three times in a row today, so I will give this rotten chess manual to the king, but this peerless chess manual has been handed down to the world, Now only the version is left, if you can find the second half in the future, I hope you can give me a read."

    Cui Xingzhou smiled and agreed.
