The true and false lady's heart is waiting for the lady

"Miss?" Xu Er followed behind. Seeing his young lady's appearance, he asked cautiously at the door: "Miss, could it be that someone bullied you in the academy? Master Lin is here today and is discussing with the Taifu in the study?"

She even named the lady’s favorite person.

What came was a moment of silence.

Xu Er thought of the lady's hairy look just now, and she was still relieved. I wanted to knock on the door and go in. I reached out and pushed it gently, but found that the door was already closed tightly. Xu Er was a little afraid that his young lady would do something stupid, "No matter what, let's go in first and talk about it later."

"Xu'er, I'm sleepy and I don't want to be disturbed today."

"Yes, ma'am."

Xu Er put her hands on the door, and she wanted to push it open, but Liu Shengsheng said this to her from inside.

Suddenly, he breathed a sigh of relief.

The young lady had already said this, so she didn't feel like saying anything else. After looking at him worriedly for a few times, she turned and left.

Just sitting on the corridor in the courtyard, back and forth.

She grew up with a young lady. Although the young lady said she was sleepy, she was still worried. Thinking that we are close in the yard, if anything happens to the lady, she can call him in time.

After waiting for a long time, Xu Er was walking back and forth in the corridor dejectedly, and was seen by the boy who came to see him.

"Sister Xu'er?" The young man saluted Xu'er and said, "We have guests today. The master wants the young lady to go to the front hall to meet the guests?"

When Xu Er heard this, he asked awkwardly: "Who is this guest that I must meet?"

The boy added: "They came from Tongzhou. General An Ruyuan also asked someone to bring a gift to the lady. The master is entertaining guests at the moment. He said he wanted the lady to come over quickly, but the young master is here The person who saved Old General Wende when he was in Tongzhou."

When Xu Er heard this, he felt in his heart that it would be impossible for the lady not to go to this guest.

So, after thinking again and again, he looked at the young man and said, "I understand, I'll go call the lady."

Liu Shengsheng in the house has been practicing martial arts since then. Her hearing is also much better than before. Although they were in the courtyard, Haihui Temple could hear their words clearly.

Xu Er held up her skirt and slowly walked up the steps to the door.

After hesitating for a moment, he still thought about knocking on the door.

"Click~"

Xu Er raised his hand, but the door opened.

"Miss!" Xu Er called happily when she saw the lady coming out.

Liu Shengsheng looked at Xu Er and tried her best to adjust her bad mood, "Let's go, I heard everything."

She remembered what her grandfather said a few days ago. When my grandfather was fighting with General Luo in Tongzhou, he met a young man who was unparalleled in beauty, both civil and military, and he intended to betroth himself to that young man.

She wanted to see what kind of person he was that made her discerning grandfather like him so much.

When he stepped into the front hall with one foot, he saw Mr. Fu Fu sitting in front with two men.

One of them is the person with whom he has a close relationship today.

Liu Shengsheng hurriedly withdrew one foot and stopped Xu Er who was about to walk in behind him.

"What's the matter, miss?"

The three martial arts experts all noticed Liu Shengsheng's movements.

Following the movement's line of sight, he saw the hem of his clothes.

Liu Taifu, who was chatting happily, saw that the three of them were all looking towards their clothes. He also followed the line of sight and recognized his granddaughter at a glance.

"Haha!" Taifu Liu smiled awkwardly and said to the rescue: "Shengsheng, she is a woman after all. She rarely sees guests with old people, I'm afraid she's nervous!" While speaking, his eyes did not forget, and he glanced at Kong Changjin's body. , only with his appearance did Liu Taifu understand the liking of General Wende.

"Shengsheng!" Taifu Liu said directly, "Why don't you come over quickly? We are all acquaintances, why are you so shy?"

Liu Shengsheng closed her eyes helplessly, adjusted her expression, and walked out with a fake smile.

"Grandfather, Mr. Fu, Mr. He?" Liu Shengsheng asked each one one by one, but stopped when the sky was long.

"This is my senior brother's student, Kong Changjin!" He Qiancheng introduced hurriedly, "Changjin, I haven't met Miss Liu yet."

Kong Changjin immediately stood up and saluted politely, "Exit! Kong Changjin has met Miss Liu."

"I have met Mr. Chang Jin."

Liu Shengsheng looked guilty and did not dare to look at Kong Changjin, but also returned the greeting slowly.

"Shengsheng, this is from Tongzhou. He has a long history of talent and learning. He is also a good person. Recently, the academy is short of teaching teachers. I heard that he is coming to the academy to be a martial arts teacher. In two months, the imperial examination will be held. I heard that Young Master Chang Jin also participated?"

As Taifu Liu spoke, his eyes looked at his granddaughter's face.

Liu Shengsheng slowly walked to and stood next to Taifu Liu.

The two of them didn't dare to look at each other because of what happened in the academy.

Fu Fu saw some clues.

Liu Shengsheng was so nervous that she clutched her little hand, completely unaware of what her grandfather said.

Kong Changjin replied: "Yes, I have determined since I was a child to become an official in the court and work for the people of the world."

"It's a good thing to have ambitions! I heard that Young Master Chang Jin killed countless enemies in Tongzhou. If he joins the military camp, will his military achievements also guarantee his glory and wealth?"

The implication of Taifu Liu's words was that he was testing.

Kong Changjing looked at Taifu Liu and said: "Junior, you are here in Tongzhou because the people are in danger. I have been reading poetry and books since I was a child, and I have experienced wars and massacres since I was a child. I hope I can do my best to protect my family and country." , Military merit is not important to the younger generation."

"Then why did you choose the imperial examination?"

"The general holding the sword can protect the people from danger. The civilian official holding the pen can protect the people from danger. There are very few civil servants who can protect the people from danger. The younger generation's desire to hold the pen and protect the hearts of the students in the world should not chill them. Children from poor families come from humble backgrounds, and the only way out is the imperial examination. The reason why Beiyong is in such a situation today is because of bureaucratic corruption, and officials are protecting each other. The people are plunged into dire straits, and students who have studied hard for many years in Hanchuang are left behind because of the corrupt officialdom. , I can’t see the day of success for a long time.”

"Could it be that in your heart, you only care about the children of poor families?" Taifu Liu asked again.

Kong Changjin said again: "No!"

"They have dreams and ambitions to protect their home and country, which is more important than protecting the people alone. As long as someone removes obstacles in their way and allows them to see hope, it is more important."

Taifu Liu nodded with satisfaction.

Liu Shengsheng cast an admiring look at Kong Changjin.

"Bureaucratic corruption will cause many people to gradually lose themselves. It's not that they don't want to change, but that they have become groveling people under the power. They are disappointed with their past selves and disgusted with their current selves! But they have no choice but to linger. You want to be the one who protects their progress and allows them to carry out their great ambitions. I haven’t heard these words for many years!”

In this child's eyes, he saw hope for the future.

He nodded uncontrollably.

The more Liu Taifu looked at it, the more he liked it.

Liu Shengsheng also admired his grand words.

But Taifu Liu is a person who has experienced storms. You can't trust him just because of one word.

Many students are like this before they enter the officialdom. After entering the officialdom, it has begun to slowly change.

Fu Fu raised his head, looked at Kong Changjin, and said to Taifu Liu: "This child has had his own ideas since he was a child. I came here specifically to visit Taifu Liu today. Old General Wende entrusted Chang Jin to Taifu Liu and Miss Liu sent something."

Fufu is also a reminder.

After all, Kong Changquan, this kid, was a bit agitated and didn't react at all.

"Yes." Kong Changjin reacted and took out the baggage on the table.

Pass it to Taifu Liu.

"These are the things that Old General Wende told the younger generation to personally deliver to Mrs. Liu. There are also gifts prepared by General An for Miss Liu."

Kong Changjin could have come alone.

All because out of politeness, it is best to invite the elders from the academy to come together.

After taking the bundle, Taifu Liu looked up at Liu Shengsheng and handed the bundle to her.

"Is my grandfather okay?" After Liu Shengsheng took the package, she asked worriedly, "Old General Wende, he was slightly injured in the recent battle. But it's not serious. General Luo originally wanted the old general to be with me. We came back together. But the old general refused to come back even after being beaten to death, so General Luo left him in the military camp as a commander."

"Injured?" Upon hearing this, Liu Shengsheng frowned, her palms became sweaty, and she looked down at her grandfather.

Taifu Liu patted the back of her hand and comforted her: "Young masters have said that it is a minor injury, so there is no need to worry."

"Old General, your body is strong and you will recover from the injury in a few days. It's on your arm. It doesn't matter. Miss Liu, don't worry."

Kong Changjin looked at her worried expression and hurriedly comforted her.
