Listening to this, Dong Xiaowan panicked, and quickly took Liu Ruye's arm.
Liu Ruyi's expression remained unchanged, and said, "Zheng Xibo didn't have a concubine room, and the people's daughters also admired them for a long time. I wonder if they can get started together?"
Cough
Zhou Zheng was choked, and quickly put down his teacup to wipe his mouth, looking at Liu Rushi with some surprise.
In his impression, the iron-clad Liu Ruye collapsed instantly.
Shangguanqing stared at Zhou Zheng with wide-open eyes, forbearing no trouble.
Zhou Zheng continued to pretend not to see it, wiped his mouth, held up the air, and said with a smile: "Since Miss Liu said that, if the officer refuses, it will be unkind. Then the officer will order the next person to prepare, three Within the sky, I will marry two girls to get started."
Shangguanqing's sharp eyes slowly faded, and he turned to Liu Rushi and Dong Xiaowan thoughtfully.
She and Zhou Zheng’s husband and wife have known each other for many years, and occasionally made a joke, but it seemed weird to marry two women directly in front of her.
Sure enough, Liu Ru puffed up his face, snorted, and said: "Mr. Qian said, Zheng Xibo is old and cunning, and has far-reaching plots. Now it seems that it is true."
Zhou Zheng laughed and did not speak.
Liu Ru glanced at Dong Xiaowan, and said with a sullen expression: "Zheng Xibo, now that we have already said this, the people's girls will go around again. The people's girls hope that they will be able to deal with the case justice and let the impostors and others go.
That's right.
Zhou Zheng looked at the two women and shook his head and said, "This case fell to the Criminal Ministry. You all know that Zhang Sizhi, the Shangshu of the Criminal Ministry, belongs to Yuan Fu. I have also paid attention to this case. The evidence is conclusive, but there should be no imprisonment, etc. After the case is over in a few months, you can get together."
The more anxious Dong Xiaowan was, her pretty face turned pale.
Liu Ru stared at Zhou Zheng and said: "Zheng Xibo should be very clear that the impersonator is implicated. He did not take part in bribing the scoring officer, nor did he cheat in the imperial examination.'Never remarks' is too harsh and unfair."
Zhou Zheng picked up the tea cup again and said thoughtfully: "He is innocent, I don't know, but if he is so unclear, let it go, will it be fair to the world's scholars? Miss Liu, you come to me and say These are useless and Qian Ge's face is more than enough to save a brave Xinjiang."
Liu Ru was bulging, staring at Zhou Zheng speechless.
She and Qian Qianyi met in Chongzhen for eleven years, and only met once at the Fushe Conference. They met again last year, in Chongzhen’s thirteenth year, and they sang together in their essays, which was quite sympathetic, but it was only when the two wanted When he went further, Qian Qianyi suddenly entered Beijing, seeking an official position, and had no time to take care of Liu Rushi.
This delay lasted for one year, and the two did not communicate for nearly a year.
That is to say, a while ago, Qian Qianyi seemed to be idle, thinking of Liu Rushi, the two communicated again, Liu Rushi also saw Fushe moved north, and followed him.
Therefore, the relationship between Liu Rushi and Qian Qianyi is waiting for the recovery phase from hot to cold. After a year, the two are a little strange now. It is not convenient for Liu Rushi to go directly to the door, and it is even more inappropriate to meet in private.
This is also the reason why she came to Zhou Zheng with a cheeky face.
Shangguanqing understood from the sidelines, looked at Dong Xiaowan's sorrowful expression, pursed the corners of his mouth, and suddenly said, "Use silver."
Zhou Zheng raised his brows and glanced at Shang Guanqing.
Shangguanqing calmly picked up the teacup and lowered his head to drink tea.
Liu Ru looked at the movements and expressions of Zhou Zheng and his wife and blinked, suddenly feeling funny in his heart.
Dong Xiaowan seemed to have caught the life-saving straw, turned to Shangguanqing, and repeatedly said: "Madam, is what you said is true? Can you save the impostor with money?"
Shangguanqing lowered his head to drink tea. After drinking it for a long time, he turned his head to look outside, as if there was some movement outside.
Liu Ruyi saw it, pulled Dong Xiaowan down, and turned to Zhou Zhengdao: "The girl took the liberty to visit and disturb Zheng Xibo. I hope to forgive me."
Zhou Zheng smiled and got up and said, "Ms. Liu is polite. My wife has no friends. I don't want to say so much today, so I often come to play when I have time."
Shangguanqing rolled his eyes at the'ridicule' in Zhou Zheng's words.
Liu Ru responded with a smile, and took Dong Xiaowan away quickly.
Seeing that the two were gone, Shangguan Qing pursed the corners of his mouth and said softly, "Very poor."
Zhou Zheng looked at her and knew that it was Dong Xiaowan. Such a woman and brave Xinjiang are destined to be troubled and difficult to last, and there will be no happiness at all.
Zhou Zheng thought of Dong Xiaowan and Liu Rushi, waiting for the historical outcome, and shook his head, saying: "This brave warrior is in the policy question, and is regarded as a treasure by those who oppose the reform. He himself rushed forward. Even if I did not speak, some people suppressed him. This brave Xinjiang is a romantic and talented man in the south of the Yangtze River. There are many wives and concubines in the family. If Dong Xiaowan really married, he may not have a good life."
The wife may be better, the concubine has no status, and is often given as a gift, and if one is not good, she will be sold. Dong Xiaowan is very famous in the Qinhuai River. If he is jealous in the backyard, he might as well be alone.
Shangguanqing nodded slightly, glanced at Zhou Zheng, his eyes flashed with a smile.
Zhou Zheng said these gossips and said: "Shen'er, Ke'er, stare at you, and don't press too hard. I can't care about them too much now. It's a critical time for schoolwork."
Shangguan Qing yelled, and said: "My sister-in-law is watching very closely, and Xianer wants to go to Tianjin Wei to find grandpa several times."
Zhou Deshou, this is Zhou Fang's son, the eldest son of Zhou Mansion.
Zhou Zheng laughed and said, "Send them over for dinner, and I will test them."
Shangguanqing responded and ordered his servants to prepare for the meal.
Liu Ru and Dong Xiaowan came out of the Zhou Mansion, quickly raised money, and prepared to use it to save people.
It also happened that Zhou Yanru was about to compromise, and the major incidents were reduced to a small amount, and Baopijiang and others were not involved much, so they were'excluded from the school' and released.
It stands to reason that Dong Xiaowan spent a lot of money after running for him. Bao Pijiang should be grateful and reunited. However, Bao Pijiang felt that he was shameful and humiliated, so he scolded Dong Xiaowan and went away directly. Leaving the capital, back to Jiangnan.
Dong Xiaowan cried heartbroken and fell ill.
And then the progress of Liu Rushi and Qian Qianyi was also affected, and the relationship between the two seemed to come to an abrupt end.
Li Juesi of the Ministry of Rites did not know why, and suddenly came up with a memorial, accusing the scholars of Jiangnan's bad manners. The scholars had long been mingling with prostitutes and were obsessed with the Qinhuai River all day.
As soon as this memorial came out, someone quickly followed the trend. The memorabilia was full of "warm wind drunk tourists and turned Hangzhou into Bianzhou", "businessmen do not know the hatred of the country, and they still sing **" and so on. , To flog the culture of famous prostitutes in the south of the Yangtze River.
The Ming Dynasty had a strict system for low-level books, especially prostitutes. Scholars were rigorous prostitutes, let alone married, but now, these have long been ruined.
In history, Qian Qianyi even married Liu Ru as a court ceremony, but the ruling and the opposition did not respond. Instead, the literati and saucy praised him and became a momentary talk.
The situation is a bit different now. First, Qian Qianyi is a cabinet minister, and marrying a famous prostitute is detrimental to his prestige. Second, the court is undergoing reforms. The situation is delicate and there are too many rights and wrongs. Qian Qianyi dares not and does not want to cause trouble. Thirdly, this incident suddenly became a little strange, and Qian Qianyi was cautious, so he kept his distance from Liu Rushi calmly. (End of this chapter)
