Liaozhai Great Sage

"Lord Li has already said that, if I still don't agree, wouldn't it seem that I am too heartless and unreasonable." Qiu Shou waved his hand, motioned for Qiu Rong to come over, and then walked over holding her hand, Put it in Li Xiuyuan's hands.

"My little girl will be entrusted to Master Li."

Li Xiuyuan felt the sweat and tension on Qiurong's thin hands, and couldn't help but hold her hand and said, "Thank you, old man, for your understanding. This junior will never disappoint Miss Qiurong's heart."

At this moment, Qiu Rong's pretty face was flushed, she lowered her head full of shame, but her heart was extraordinarily happy.

If my father agrees to this matter, then I can feel at ease from now on, and I don't have to worry about it all day long, even if I stay with Li Lang, I don't have to be afraid of others pointing fingers.

Because from today onwards, she is a member of the Li family.

When this matter was settled, several people breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Xiuyuan felt relieved, and a stone fell. He knew that it was almost impossible for a decent family to agree to their own daughter being a concubine for others. There may be many reasons for Qiushou to agree. After all, his attitude before was very firm. .

"Although my daughter is a concubine for Mr. Li, she is a magistrate after all, with a high position and authority, but it is not considered humiliating." Qiu Shou thought to himself.

Thinking of my Qiu family meeting with the magistrate, I couldn't help being pleasantly surprised.

Even if he is just a concubine, when the time comes for the betrothal gift and the banquet, the master in the county will not be respectful when he sees him in the future. Thinking of his family's fame and reputation in the county in the future, he can't help feeling a little happy.

Looking at the attitude of the magistrate, it seems that he regards himself as a son-in-law, not to mention how good his attitude is.

"Come on, let me offer a toast to Mr. Li, and please take care of him in the future." Qiu Shou said.

"We will be a family from now on. If the father-in-law is in trouble, how dare the younger generation not help." Li Xiuyuan raised his glass in response.

Although he didn't want too much fame and fortune to be involved in Qiu Rong's affairs, Qiu Shou agreed because he took a fancy to his own status and status. If he were a poor scholar, he would definitely oppose it.

Seeing his father and the lord enjoying themselves so happily, Qiu Rong was also very happy in his heart, and he hurriedly waited on the side to serve them tea and wine, taking care of them carefully.

But soon, Qiushou passed out from too much alcohol, Li Xiuyuan had no choice but to send him to the bedroom for him to rest.

When he came back, he saw Qiu Rong was clearing the wine table.

Li Xiuyuan walked over with a smile and said: "Rong'er, don't clean up. Your hand is for me to correct and write documents for me, not to clean up the dishes. Besides, my Li family will not be ordered by servants."

Qiu Rong responded softly, blushing, and stopped: "Husband, father, is he all right?"

"What can my father-in-law do? He's just drunk." Li Xiuyuan smiled and said, "It's true that he agreed to the matter between you and me, but there is one thing I want to tell you, Rong'er. explain."

"What does my husband want to say to the servants?" Qiu Rong turned around and blinked.

But Li Xiuyuan put his arms around her slender waist, hugged her in his arms, and then listened to his ears; "I have felt a sense of uneasiness in my heart in the past few days. The situation in the capital has changed suddenly, and there are some things that even I don't have time to deal with. I hope that you, Rong'er, will return to your hometown with my father-in-law in a few days, and I will send someone to escort you all the way, and I will personally pick you up after the matter in the capital is over."

"Husband, father just agreed to the matter between us, I don't want to leave husband." Qiu Rong raised her head, feeling very attached and reluctant.

Li Xiuyuan smiled and said, "A woman who is waiting to be married will not be able to see her husband once in a while. Isn't Rong'er so impatient? If Rong'er feels uneasy, you can go to my hometown and wait for me. Go back, I am from Guo Beicheng, and the Li family in Guobei County is my hometown, Ronger, if you go, you can prove your identity with this silver lock, no one will dare to drive you away."

"When will the husband come back..." Qiu Rong said.

Li Xiuyuan said; "One month at the latest, it won't be too long."

"Well, the slave family listens to the husband." Qiu Rong said: "By the way, the slave family has something else to tell the husband."

"what's up?"

"It's about Miss Xie in the backyard of the Escort Bureau," Qiu Rong said, "Miss Xie shed tears all day long after she found out about us. Husband should go and comfort Miss Xie. She loves you as much as I do. Husband, please don’t let down Miss Xiao Xie’s whole heart, if husband doesn’t mind, please let Miss Xie be fulfilled, she was already very pitiful when she was alive, and I don’t want her to be like this after death.”

"Xiao Xie..." Li Xiuyuan said; "She is a female ghost, I can't touch her, otherwise she will be in danger of dissipating. It is precisely this point that I have always avoided Miss Xie."

"Then husband, can you think of a way?" Qiu Rong begged.

Li Xiuyuan said: "Miss Xie actually has only two paths, either to live in the underworld, wait for the lifespan to be exhausted, and be reincarnated; As her new body, the latter is tantamount to using evil spells to harm people, I have not learned such spells, and I don't want to do such evil things, so I can only avoid Miss Xie's intentions."

After speaking, he also sighed.

He has experienced things where people and ghosts have different paths, and it was the same with Qingmei back then.

Qiu Rong said: "Actually, if my husband agrees, I can lend my body to Miss Xie, and the servant and Xiao Xie share the same body."

Li Xiuyuan smiled and said: "I know your pity and guilt for Xiao Xie in my heart, but this is an unacceptable method. Can Xiao Xie get close to you now? You have my breath on you, and you have a name with me. Ghosts and gods will avoid you when they see you, let alone a female ghost like Xiao Xie who has shallow morals. And this method is not advisable, even if you borrow her temporarily, the possession of this female ghost will consume the vitality of the living. Qi and Yin Qi of the female ghost."

"Yin and yang blend together, and both will be hurt, but Xiao Xie is sad because of me. I should really comfort her tomorrow. Well, it's getting late now, and I think we should go back to our room to rest."

After speaking, he took her by the hand and walked to the bedroom.

Qiu Rong lowered her head, her face was flushed with shame, but she didn't resist at all, and obediently followed her husband into the bedroom.

But the next day, Li Xiuyuan got up very early.

He handed over the affairs of the yamen to Qiu Rong to take care of it, and then he left the yamen with Wu Xiang, Sha Jin and other cronies, and went to a certain place in the capital.

This is the palace of Wang Taichang, the Minister of Rites.

In the backyard of the palace, there were sounds of men and women playing.

A foolish young man is playing Cuju with a few maidservants at the moment, chasing a cloth ball, running around, sweating profusely from exhaustion, and beside him is a young and beautiful man in a green skirt The woman was sitting on the swing and watching them chasing and fighting with a smile.

The name of this stupid son is Wang Yuanfeng, the son of Wang Taichang, the Minister of Rites.

Many people in the capital know that Wang Yuanfeng was born stupid, he couldn't even tell the difference between a man and a woman, but now he is sixteen or seventeen years old, but he still fills the yard like a child.

"Xiaocui, Xiaocui, help me quickly. I kicked the cloth ball into the tree. Can you help me take it down?" After a while, Wang Yuanfeng ran over and pulled the beautiful girl His hands acted coquettishly.

But it was because the cloth ball was kicked to the top of a tree while playing.

Xiaocui laughed and said, "You push the swing for me, and I'll take the ball down."

"Okay, okay." Wang Yuanfeng clapped his palms, and immediately pushed the swing hard for Xiaocui.

"A little higher, a little higher." Xiao Cui said while standing on the swing with a smile.

Wang Yuanfeng pushed the swing harder and harder: "Xiaocui, you fly so high, I want to play too."

Xiaocui smiled but didn't return. When the swing was at its highest point, she suddenly opened her mouth and exhaled.

Immediately, a strange wind blew up, blowing the treetops aside, rustling, and then the cloth ball suddenly fell from above.

"Yuanfeng, you see that your cloth ball has fallen, why don't you play with it?"

"Fall down, fall down, I'm going to play with the cloth ball." Seeing the cloth ball rolling down, Wang Yuanfeng ran over dancing and continued to chase the cloth ball with the maid.

Xiaocui watched the two play with a smile on her face. No one pushed the swing, but the swing was higher than before.

But suddenly.

Xiaocui's face changed suddenly, as if she had sensed something, she looked towards the gate of the palace with some horror.
