[Qing Dynasty] "Gege" is polite

"Why do you buy jewelry here, sir?"

It was just because Wen Liang was squatting here that Yinzhen thought something happened, but he never expected that Wen Liang was picking jewelry here.

"Picking up leaks." Wen Liang pursed her lips and looked down at the object held in her palm, "The earrings are not worth 200 taels, but the bracelet can be doubled by two hundred times."

The two talked while walking, the peddler behind him was originally happily thinking that the scholar opposite was really taken advantage of, but in a blink of an eye, listening to the conversation between the two, he realized that the foolish person was actually himself, and almost passed out out of breath.

Yinzhen knew that Wen Liang was not someone who valued this, so the earrings and bracelet must have some special meaning.

When Wen Liang walked to the carriage on the side of the street, he looked at the carriage, then looked back at Yinzhen who was standing behind him, and said softly, "This is so-and-so," he paused, "Emiang's jewelry." Finally The one I like.

Yinzhen raised his eyebrows, Wen Liang had returned to normal, he looked at the carriage, "Master Belle wants to go back with someone?" Yinzhen touched the horsewhip in his hand, and threw it to the groom driving, followed by Wen Liang Inside the carriage, "Go back."

He Shun passed away, Wen Liang was not around, and naturally stayed in the Shang family as the dowry of Princess He Shuo.Whether it's lax supervision, or the current mistress of the Shang family selling her off in private, this is not a good thing for Wen Liang.

Yinzhen considered it in silence, Wen Liang never mentioned it, but it didn't mean he didn't mind.

Shang family.

Yinzhen tapped his knee lightly, pondered for a long time, Shang family...

It was a coincidence that Wen Liang met Yinzhen on the street, and it was pure coincidence that Wen Liang met Er Niang's jewelry on the road.He didn't intend to speculate why these jewelry were left outside and fell into the hands of ordinary peddlers. He would buy this pair just because these are two of Heshun's favorite things.

In fact, this pair does not look good, and there are even slight mottles on the bracelet, which is why the peddler mistook them for fakes.However, whether an item is precious or not depends on how the owner views it.Now that he saw it, Wen Liang couldn't let it continue wandering outside.

"Sir, Huang Ama hopes that you can enter the palace tomorrow." Yinzhen suddenly spoke when thinking about today's events.

Wen Liang nodded, "I got it." He looked up at Yinzhen, and said again, "Master Belle, what's on your mind?" Yinzhen seemed to be troubled by something.

Yinzhen said, "How do you plan to deal with the Shang family's affairs, sir?"

Shang Zhilong has already noticed Emperor Kangxi's gradual indifference towards the Shang family. After the initial stage of worrying like ants on fire, Shang Zhilong has recovered his composure. Although he gradually lost his family, the heritage of the Shang family is still there , Shang Zhilong's official position is still there, as long as Kangxi is not thinking of doing something, Shang Zhilong can safely and comfortably occupy his current position.

"The Shang family has nothing to do with XX." Wen Liang said, still holding something gentle in his hand, "As long as they don't look for XX, XX has nothing to do with them."

He looked down at things and said indifferently, "The best way to not get involved with people and things you don't like is to never contact them. They don't owe someone, and someone doesn't owe them."

Yinzhen raised his eyebrows, Wen Liang's thoughts remained the same as before, this was indeed his style.Revenge for revenge and resentment for resentment, everything without hatred or resentment seems to him to be nothingness.

Unfortunately, he is not such a person.Yinzhen closed his eyes and rested his mind, thinking leisurely that he is a small-minded person.

Back in the mansion, Yinzhen has just entered the mansion, and there are a lot of things looking for him. Now he is no longer the idle Baylor.Wen Liang was fine, and after returning to the house, he specially picked out a box to put the two things that were gentle and smooth, and then put them together in the innermost part.

Luyi sorted out the seasonal clothes for Wen Liang, although the fire in the small courtyard burned all of Wen Liang's things, but the clothes on his body were still there that day, and it happened that he was wearing the jade pendant presented by Yinzhen on his waist that day, Otherwise it is indeed a sin.

Emperor Kangxi learned of Wen Liang's loss, and rewarded him many times in the blink of an eye, filling Wen Liang's spare room in an instant.Su Peisheng had to make room for Wen Liang in the back.

Wen Liang sat down by the window, and started to grind the ink again, thinking while grinding.

After a long time, Wen Liang looked at the polished ink and exhaled, and slowly spread out another piece of paper. He vaguely remembered that Lord Baylor seemed to have been practicing sailing silently, and this matter needed to be recorded.

"Sir, Mr. Wu is here." Lu Yi said loudly.

After a warm and cool meal, he looked at the article that had just started, put down the brush, rubbed up the paper, and threw it into the wastebasket next to him.

Wen Liang never thought that Wu Sidao would take the initiative to look for him.

After Wu Sidao entered the room, Lu Yi hurriedly served tea to the two of them, and then quietly retreated.

Wen Liang raised his eyes and looked at Wu Sidao, "Mr. Wu, are you here all right?" Wen Liang would not believe it if he said that Wu Sidao just came to see him to reminisce about the old days.

Wu Sidao slowly lifted the tea cover, sniffing the scent of tea lightly, "It is true that I came to find Mr. Wen on something." He said softly, without beating around the bush.

"Wu has something that he doesn't want to understand, so he came to ask Mr. Wen, and I hope he will give you some advice." Wu Sidao said with a smile, "There is a saying in "Su Wen": the main medicine is called the king, the assistant is called the minister, and the answering minister is called the envoy Do you think that the aides are ministers or envoys?"

Monarchs, ministers and envoys, this is the traditional Chinese medicine that refers to the functions of different traditional Chinese medicines, and also indicates the principle of harmony between Chinese medicine and Chinese medicine.Now that Wu Sidao refers to the emperor, ministers and assistant envoys, he must be talking about more than just this thought.

"Junjun, ministers, fathers, sons. The sage Confucius has already said something, why should Mr. Wu bother himself?" Wen Liang said indifferently.

Wu Sidao clapped his palms and smiled, "Great kindness. There is nothing in the world, and mediocrity disturbs it. From this point of view, Wu is really a vulgar person, and he must not leave this way."

"Sir, you might as well speak up." Wen Liang raised his eyes and looked at Wu Sidao. He always thought that Wu Sidao was an interesting person. If he came here today just to tell this matter, it would be disappointing.

"Wu is for the Jiangnan matter." Wu Sidao said cheerfully, just now Wen Liang's treatment was in line with his temper, "Although the account books that Lord Baylor took away can make a difference, they are still not enough."

"That's right." Wen Liang nodded.Although there are deeds about corruption in the account book, but it is natural to be cautious when it comes to the East Palace, how could it fall into Wu Sidao's hands.

"Actually, Wu has hidden another thing." Wu Sidao said frankly.

He took another thing out of his cuff and placed it on the table.The small seal is round and cute, and it is of high-quality texture at first glance.

There are only two ordinary words engraved on it, God Bless.

Wen Liang frowned, "It's impossible." How could such an eye-catching thing be left outside, and finally fell into Wu Sidao's hands?

The word Tianyou is not so difficult to see, what is rare is the handwriting on it!

Wen Liang has seen Kangxi's memorial, it's Kangxi's handwriting!In other words, this seal is most likely made by Kangxi himself.Just looking at the mottled traces, one can conclude that the worker is not good at this way.

Wu Sidao can naturally think of what Wen Liang guessed.He said lightly, "Wu is not hiding anything. At first, he thought that the emperor was involved, and later he judged that the prince was involved."

"How do you want to deal with this private seal, now Wu has full authority to entrust it to you."

"Why didn't you find your master?" Wen Liang said in a calm voice.When the account book was handed in, why didn't Wu Sidao hand over the seal as well.

"Master Belle doesn't trust Wu," Wu Sidao chuckled, "He won't believe Wu's judgment. But you will. He trusts you."

Wu Sidao's smile concealed deep meaning, he got up and said, "Wu Mou doesn't ask for much, just one thing, that's enough."

Seeing Wu Sidao staggering out, Wen Liang suddenly realized, "That so-called friend who betrayed you is the key to all this!"

Wu Sidao's tone was bleak, "That's true, but it's a pity that he died to save Wu, and he was buried in the belly of a fish."

Wen Liang stood up suddenly, staring at Wu Sidao's back, "Who is that person?"

"Jiangnan Anonymous." Wu Sidao staggered away.

Wen Liang looked at the seal on the table and thought, what would happen to Emperor Kangxi if he handed over the seal to Kangxi so straightforwardly?

When Wen Liang came to the outer study slowly with his seal in his hands, half a day had passed since he saw Wu Sidao.

Yinzhen planned to deal with business, but when he saw Wen Liang coming, he naturally put down the things on his hands first, "Why are you here, sir?"

Wen Liang sat down opposite Yinzhen's gesture, then took out a seal from his sleeve and put it on the table, "Mr. Wu gave this to someone."

Before Yinzhen picked it up, his eyes fell on the notch on the seal, and his face suddenly turned cold, "Where did he get it?"

Wen Liang said, "I have been suspicious from the very beginning. With Mr. Wu's current status, he shouldn't have come into contact with these things." things.

But his performance today made Wen Liang understand that the so-called person who betrayed him was actually the source of all this.That person is the one who has come into contact with all of this, and Wu Sidao is the one who was entrusted.It's a pity that the man is dead, and Wu Sidao is unwilling to reveal his identity.

Yinzhen was thoughtful, "It's the fastest way to start with Wu Sidao."

A special method was used to record in that account book, and Yinzhen asked people to decipher it, and the progress is not yet halfway.However, what this half reveals is no small matter.

Wen Liang pursed his lips, "Mr. Wu is very talented, and he is a capable person who assists one party. You can treat him with courtesy." He didn't force Yinzhen to trust Wu Sidao, but this person is indeed quite talented. I don't want to.

Yinzhen smiled lightly, "I know it in my heart." Even if I started from Wu Sidao, I still had to go back to Jiangnan after all the detours, and that was the most critical place.

Wen Liang tapped the seal with her fingertips, "It's important here."

If this thing was really made by Kangxi, Kangxi must know who to give it to.This is fatal evidence.It's just that Wen Liang is really curious about why the owner of this object lost such an important item.

……

That's all, Wen Liang began to enter a leisurely time.

Emperor Kangxi probably got a little pleasure from meeting Wen Liang, and frequently summoned Wen Liang to the palace, and it often took a whole day to go back and forth.Important officials of the imperial court occasionally entered the palace to discuss matters, and they could see Wen Liang's figure in the blink of an eye. As time passed, more and more people explored Wen Liang's identity.

In May, Kangxi left the palace to escape the summer heat.

This time, all his princes and elder brothers didn't bring him, only Wen Liang.

Such an honor suddenly pushed Wen Liang to the forefront, but the emperor had a good time, and the others had nothing to say.

Wen Liang traveled with him, and this time he only brought Lu Yi with him. Kangxi couldn't see it, so he sent several people over for him.Wen Liang was used to doing things by himself, the new attendant didn't know what he liked, and was stopped by Lu Yi for half a day, only then did he start to get acquainted.

During the days at Chengde Mountain Resort, Wen Liang lived more loosely.Emperor Kangxi needs to revise the memorial and summon the ministers, but Wen Liang has nothing to do in the summer resort, and his life is really comfortable.

Half a month later, Wen Liang looked at the bronze mirror and poked her face, a little unbelievable, "Lu Yi." He raised his voice and called Lu Yi in, looked at her sideways, and asked seriously, "Am I getting fat?"

Lu Yi was caught off guard by this question, and said with a smile, "Sir, you're worrying too much."

Wen Liang raised her eyebrows, looked at herself in the bronze mirror again, and then said with a final word, "I am indeed fat."

Is it too loose?Wen Liang thought.

Then silently went to the yard to punch.

Wen Liang is a bit rigid, if he thinks so and sets the rules, he will definitely abide by them.So Luyi watched helplessly as Wen Liang had just rested for half a month, then returned to her usual routine in the blink of an eye, and got up before dawn.After going back and forth for several days, Emperor Kangxi also knew about it.

After all, it is really rare to go out for a walk in the morning and encounter Wen Liang boxing.

That day Kangxi just got up and was a little idle, so he took a walk in the villa, wandering aimlessly, and then went to the palace where Wen Liang lived.They were not far away in the first place, and Kangxi didn't intend to come here.

Just when he was about to leave, he heard movement in the hall.Kangxi looked up at the sky, and there was only a little bit of light in the sky, Wen Liang got up so early?

When Kangxi entered the hall, he saw Wen Liang punching in the courtyard, and the attendants were all standing around, and Wen Liang was sweating profusely, he must have been up for a long time.

Even after seeing Kangxi, Wen Liang insisted on finishing the last two moves before stopping.

"I've seen Lord Long Live." Wen Liang cupped his hands and said.

Kangxi had long since avoided the habit of showing respect to Wen Liang, and when he saw Wen Liang standing in front of him covered in sweat, he smiled and said, "You'd better go change your clothes first, even though it's summer, you won't catch a cold."

Wen Liang retreated back indoors, scrubbed and changed clothes before coming out. Kangxi was standing in the hall with his hands behind his back, looking at the plaque on the roof.

"Why is it so early, Your Majesty?" Wen Liang said.

Kangxi turned around to look at him cheerfully, "When you get old, you wake up and can't sleep anymore."

Wen Liang raised her eyebrows slightly, "If that's the case, I'd be considered an old man."

Emperor Kangxi laughed loudly, patted Wen Liang on the shoulder and said, "You are so young, what you say is old-fashioned. Come and have dinner with me." Wen Liang obeyed.

It wasn't until Kangxi left that he noticed the wound on his knee. Xu was accidentally injured during exercise, and Wen Liang didn't care, so he asked Luyi to take a plaster and wipe it off.

After a few days, when the weather started to turn cooler, Wen Liang went out and walked more, and occasionally heard the sound of women playing, and after stopping once or twice, Wen Liang felt it.

Emperor Kangxi's love for the culture of the Han family was the most beloved among the emperors of the Qing Dynasty.He is familiar with Confucian classics, and at the same time he has many praises for Han Chen.His love for the water towns in the south of the Yangtze River is extraordinary, which can be seen from his many years of experience in the south of the Yangtze River.

At the same time, it seems to be handed down from generation to generation, from Emperor Kangxi to later, all emperors seem to have a special liking for Han women, even now, the women in the summer resort should also be the concubines specially raised here by Emperor Kangxi .

This is Kangxi's privacy, and after Wen Liang knew which places these people often frequented, he avoided them.But a few days later, Kangxi noticed Wen Liang's avoidance, and one day he specially waited for Wen Liang to go to the rockery.

There is a specially built pavilion on a rockery in the Summer Resort, and it is indeed a pleasure to stand on a high place and look far away.The late summer breeze is neither arrogant nor impetuous. Looking at the rippling lake below, it is really comfortable.

Wen Liang and Kangxi were sitting opposite each other. There was a chessboard on the table, and they were playing chess.It's just that Kangxi's mind didn't seem to be on the chessboard, and he was distracted repeatedly, and he was chased and killed by Wen Liang in a short while, and the whole situation reached an irreversible point.

Wen Liang watched the situation calmly for a long while, and then said, "If Lord Long Live has something to do, you don't have to come here to accompany Wen Liang." It's comfortable to be alone, but it's not good if Emperor Kangxi sits opposite him all the time.

Emperor Kangxi came back to his senses, seeing that the situation was indeed terrible, he laughed loudly, "It is true that he was a little distracted, but it was not for other things. Wen Liang, although you said you didn't want to get married before, you are a good man, there is no reason why you have always been like this .If you like something today, just take it back with you.”

Wen Liang followed Kangxi's gaze, and indeed saw several gentle and beautiful women coming in from the gate of the courtyard.They happened to be standing on a high place to cover their figures, only to hear whispering voices from below, followed by the movement of laughing and playing, those few were all beautiful and charming people, and they became more and more seductive as they walked.

Wen Liang frowned, Emperor Kangxi was so magnanimous, it was difficult for him to refuse.Wen Liang had repeatedly rejected this matter before, if he continued to refuse now, he might provoke Kangxi's anger.

Most of the concubines here are not of high rank, and some of them were never touched by Kangxi. After all, he is concerned about the affairs of his family and country, and it is enough to come to the summer resort to relax for a few days. There is no reason to worry about it sometimes.Most of them here are sent up from below, and they are naturally outstanding and flawless if they can be sent to Kangxi.

When Kangxi saw Wen Liang's complete refusal at the beginning, he really didn't want to mention this matter again in a short time.But a concubine is different from a wife. Wen Liang understands that this is just Kangxi's kindness, but she really can't bear it.

Wen Liang said in a soft voice, "Long Live Lord, I don't know what other people in the world think. However, as far as I am concerned, if someone falls in love with me, it is a pair for life, and there is no reason for anyone else to be between the two."

Kangxi said curiously, "Nalan Xingde's poems are indeed unique, but if there is someone who admires them, those concubines will be sent away."

Wen Liang shook his head, looked at the blue sky and said, "Women are always weak. If someone takes them, there is no reason to send them away afterwards. If Long Live God must choose someone, then he can only fight for someone."

Kangxi shook his head. He knew that the big maid who followed Wen Liang looked young and beautiful, but according to Wen Liang, he had really been rewarded. It is very different from Kangxi's idea.

Kangxi said helplessly, "If your mother knows, I'm afraid she will blame me." His tone was gentle, and it seemed that he was really thinking about Wen Liang's marriage.Now Wen Liang is over 20 years old, in this era, there are indeed very few unmarried people at this age.If other people know about it, they may think that Wen Liang is sick.

Wen Liang said indifferently, "What do other people's words have to do with XX. The wind and rain are all other people's business, so XX can just meditate and be at ease."

Kangxi waved his hand, "That's all, if you don't want to. I won't be a villain. But you need to remember one thing, if you really find the person you love, you have to tell me." Kangxi expressed the seriousness of the matter, He even changed his name.

Wen Liang nodded, "Follow the order."

Kangxi looked at him with a smile, "If you really obey the order, that's fine, I won't listen to anything." Wen Liang argued seriously, "Most of them have been listened to."

Kangxi asked him to accompany him, and Kangxi asked him to play chess, so he played chess. Wen Liang thought he was very obedient.

Kangxi laughed out loud, being provoked by Wen Liang's appearance.Hearing Emperor Kangxi's voice, the beauties under the rockery all raised their heads to look at the pavilion above, suddenly a little jealous of the person who made Kangxi smile so much.

Liang Jiugong took two jugs of wine to the rockery pavilion, filled them up for the two masters, and then retreated to the side.

Wen Liang saw the wine again, pursed her lips and remained silent.After getting drunk last time, Wen Liang recalled that she really lost her composure after being drunk, but this time she was outside again, so remember not to drink too much.

It seems that since Wen Liang started to quit drinking, he has been unable to quit drinking.Perhaps he shouldn't have sworn in the first place.

Wen Liang raised his sleeve to cover the glass and drank it down.

Kangxi's wine here is naturally good wine, Wen Liang squinted his eyes slightly, and there was still a mellow taste on his lips, which was indeed memorable.

"Don't drink on an empty stomach." Wen Liang recalled that the two of them hadn't had lunch yet, and looked up at Liang Jiugong standing behind Emperor Kangxi, Liang Jiugong said with a smile, "The kitchen is already being prepared."

Wen Liang nodded, and looked at Kangxi who was drinking opposite, vaguely aware that Kangxi's mood suddenly became a little depressed.

Alcohol can both relieve sorrow and cause sorrow. Everyone in the world uses alcohol to relieve sorrow, but since there is a poem "Use wine to relieve sorrow and make sorrow worse", more people know that they feel it.

Wen Liang raised his hand to hold down the fourth glass of wine that Emperor Kangxi poured into his mouth, looked at the wine glass in his left hand, and said in a low voice, "If the emperor just wants to find someone to drink with you, I'm afraid he won't be able to do it. Difference."

Wen Liang was talking nonsense with his eyes open, he didn't drink very well, but he wasn't the type to get drunk after just one drink.

Emperor Kangxi was originally a wise man, and he noticed from Wen Liang's meaning that he had just indulged unconsciously, "Wen Liang is right." He said in a gentle tone, followed Wen Liang's movements, put down his wine glass, and looked at The surrounding environment suddenly sighed deeply.

"It would be great if Wen Liang was also my son." Xu Shi thought of something just now, but Kangxi's self-proclaimed name remained unchanged.Wen Liang looked as usual, took a sip of the wine, "If XX is really the emperor's child, the emperor may have even more headaches at this moment."

"Oh, what do you say?" Emperor Kangxi looked at Wen Liang with interest.

Wen Liang said solemnly, "Someone is stubborn, indifferent, disobedient, and doesn't like to be in contact with others. If he is the emperor's heir, I'm afraid the emperor's hair will be so angry that he will lose all his hair."

Kangxi rubbed his chin and smiled, "Nonsense, how can anyone belittle himself like that."

Liang Jiugong shrank back and listened to the conversation between Kangxi and Wen Liang, sighing in his heart, the emperor really dotes on Wen Liang.Once upon a time, the crown prince also had such a privilege. Liang Jiugong still remembered the smiling face of the emperor hugging the babbling crown prince.But when it comes to the prince now, the two will never return to the time when they were father and son.

It is different between father and son and brothers, if they are contaminated with interests.

Wen Liang's appearance really came at a good time.

This is the time when Lord Long Live and the adult prince under his knees began to rub against each other frequently.Wen Liang is only Kangxi's nephew, but Kangxi felt guilty about it.And Wen Liang's identity, at least at the moment, has no interest relationship with Kangxi, no matter how much Kangxi loves him, nothing that will endanger the government will happen.

This heavy friendship was naturally transferred to Wen Liang.

And Wen Liang...

Liang Jiugong glanced at him inadvertently, and he was really capable.

No matter how honored and favored Kangxi is, Wen Liang is not surprised by honor or disgrace.That is, Long Live God mentioned many times that he wanted to be rewarded and promoted, but was repeatedly rejected by Wen Liang.But for some reason, Kangxi has a very high tolerance for Wen Liang, and every time this matter comes up, he just smiles tolerantly and skips it directly.What is happening today is just a common occurrence, and it also happened frequently in the past.

And in front of Emperor Kangxi, Liang Jiugong also admired the courage of daring to say what should not be said directly.

Liang Jiugong collected his thoughts, and then stood silently, no matter what Wen Liang thought, or how Emperor Kangxi thought of Wen Liang, the only thing Liang Jiugong could do was to watch silently.

Whoever is valued by Emperor Kangxi is the master Liang Jiugong should serve with care.

This lunch didn't end until the afternoon.Wen Liang sent Kangxi back to the palace, and then came back with vain steps.Wen Liang drank a lot, but fortunately he didn't cross the line, even though he was a little groggy, his face looked normal.

Luyi has been serving Wen Liang for many years, and she can tell at a glance that he is not feeling well at the moment, waiting for him to return to the hall where he is staying, he quickly asks someone to bring hot water to wipe Wen Liang's face, and then orders someone to go to the kitchen to serve it. Hangover soup, lest the warmth and coolness really get on your head, and you will have a headache again tomorrow.

After Wen Liang drank the hangover soup, he became more than half awake. He took off his outer shirt to dissipate the heat, and asked all the servants in the hall to go out, "I'll take a nap, wake me up in half an hour."

Luyi took the order to leave and led the people down.

Wen Liang took off her clothes in the hall, then lay down on the bed.This time the wine didn't feel too much at first taste, but as time went by, the stamina was great, and now Wen Liang felt a little drunk, but the hangover soup came in time, and it began to slowly suppress it.

While closing his eyes and resting his mind, Wen Liang suddenly remembered that he seemed to have heard that there seemed to be a new breakthrough in the workshop before he came, and he had to remember to see it when he returned, and he didn't know what it was about.

Under Wen Liang's suggestion, Yinzhen built a workshop in private, just doing some research.

Just before falling asleep, Wen Liang vaguely heard a slight movement, very soft, as if something lightly landed on the ground.Feeling something was wrong in the chaos, Wen Liang struggled and moved a few times, and as soon as he opened his eyes, he suddenly saw a face close at hand!

Wen Liang was caught off guard when he saw a strange woman appearing next to the bed mat, and also saw this person's attire, and in a blink of an eye, he knew what the person in front of him was thinking.

Wen Liang sat back up and looked at the flustered woman calmly, "You shouldn't have such thoughts."

The woman panicked and looked a little anxious, but then she looked at Wen Liang nervously and said courageously, "Little girl, I just ask you to take the little girl out of here. The emperor values ​​you so much, and he will definitely agree." She immediately knelt down and said, "Please agree, sir."

This woman actually had the idea of ​​climbing the bed, and she would rather go down to provoke the wrath of Thunder, and also try to use this move to get out of the summer resort?

Wen Liang frowned, "Since you refused, there was no way you would have been sent here in the first place." No matter how beautiful the person who was sent to the imperial court was, if his temperament was not right, how would the people below dare to send him up.

The woman said tremblingly, "The little girl was not selected, but was trafficked. Although the little girl's family background was average, she was loved by her father and mother. She was kidnapped and sold to the capital just because she went out for the Lantern Festival. Later, she changed hands many times. I came here. The little girl has missed her hometown for many years, and she only hopes to go home, and please help me." She kowtowed vigorously, looking really pitiful.

Wen Liang put on his outer shirt, sat on the edge and looked at her, "If you really succeeded, how could you escape?" Wen Liang simply thought that the woman's plan had too many flaws and it was completely unfeasible.

"Take a step and look at it. If you can go out, at least there is much more hope than dying here."

Wen Liang stood up and looked at her, "Get up and talk."

"If Mister doesn't agree..."

"If you don't get up, you're kneeling to death. I won't listen to your second sentence." Although Wen Liang's voice was light, it sounded inexplicably terrifying.The woman trembled and had to stand up.

Wen Liang said, "Explain clearly what happened to you."

This person's name is Tonghua, and his surname is Liu. He is from the south of the Yangtze River.Originally born in the family of a small official, he lived a happy life.It has been five years since he was trafficked at the Lantern Festival in his early teens.According to Tonghua, there are many people like her in Jiangnan.The phenomenon of kidnapping and trafficking women abounds. Apart from reasons such as Yangzhou skinny horses, there are also more and more powerful families buying and selling women, which has become a grand occasion.

When Wen Liang first heard about this, he thought it was absurd, but it made sense when he listened carefully.

Yangzhou skinny horses appeared in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. At the beginning, they were raised by wealthy merchants in Huaihe River and Huaihe River. In the later period, Yangzhou skinny horses were sold to all parts of the country, and they were found in almost every place. It is conceivable that the population of Jiangnan at that time How rampant the business is.Half of them were sold by their parents, but the rest were abducted and sold directly on the street by human traffickers.The rich have no way of knowing the origin of the girls they bought, they just want to enjoy it, and they have destroyed many families.

Wen Liang didn't want to intervene at first, he had already made a statement in front of Kangxi, and if he started all over again, he would destroy his promise.But after hearing what Tung Hua said, Wen Liang suddenly thought of an allusion, not sure if it was true or not, if it was true, it might be useful to keep this person.

Wen Liang wouldn't pick herself up just to save someone for no reason, after careful consideration, and seeing that this person was really pitiful, she finally said, "Lu Yi—" He called the maid who was close to him to come in.

As soon as Luyi came in, she saw Tonghua standing beside her sobbing, and she was startled. Could it be that this summer resort also has people who want to climb to the top of the bed!She has a clear personality towards her master, she has no desires or desires, not to mention looking for someone to warm the bed, even if Long Live God rushed to send him off, she would avoid it, there must be a problem with this matter.

"You take her down to clean up one or two things, and I will help you in the future."

Wen Liang said, he frowned and walked to the bronze mirror, he had to think carefully about his words, and he had to explain clearly to Kangxi later, otherwise it would not be a good thing to make Kangxi suspect Wen Liang's motives.

When Tonghua heard the words, she fell to the ground in tears and kowtowed in gratitude, "Thank you sir, thank you sir..."

After seeing the complaint, Lu knew that there was a connection to this matter, so she planned to take Tonghua away.However, Tong Hua suddenly got up and smashed the teacup, and used the fragments to draw a scar on her face. She moved so fast that she couldn't even turn around Lu Yi who was standing beside her, "Mr. Mister is in a dilemma. Please also tell the emperor this reason, so that the emperor will think that the husband is soft-hearted, and when he sees the little girl injured and disfigured, he accepts the little girl as a slave. In this way, the gentleman will not be unable to explain. "

Tonghua was one of the few beauties selected in the morning, and she was originally going to be given to Wen Liang, but now if she was accepted by Wen Liang for such a reason, it would not be difficult to understand.

But the disfigurement of a woman is a big deal, not to mention the injury on the face. Tonghua's attack is fast and ruthless, and it will definitely leave scars, which will be difficult to deal with in the future.

Wen Liang looked at Tong Hua's injury and frowned, "Since I accept you, I have a way to deal with myself. Why do you use such methods to explain? Lu Yi, call the doctor over!"

Luyi glared at Tonghua fiercely, got up and went out to call for someone, she vaguely knew the reason why Tonghua was like this, but self-mutilation is an inferior way!

Tung Hua was frightened by the warm and cool aura, her eyes turned red immediately, and she muttered again, "Sir, you don't need to be like this..."

Wen Liang sat down and closed her eyes to rest, not wanting to listen to Tong Hua.

At night, Wen Liang reported Kangxi's matter, only saying that Tonghua was injured because of him, and planned to accept her as a helper.Kangxi also knew the consequences of a woman's disfigurement, which cannot be kept in the summer resort, so he readily agreed.Seeing that since Wen Liang accepted one, he was eager to give Wen Liang a few better ones, but Wen Liang justly refused.

Kangxi had no results, seeing that Wen Liang was not enlightened, he had no choice but to give up.

Time flies, and several days passed in a blink of an eye, and the weather gradually turned cold. Kangxi also stayed in the Summer Resort for nearly a month, and returned home on a cool morning, and went straight back to the capital.

When Wen Liang returned to Beijing, he would naturally return to Baylor Mansion. Kangxi specially sent someone to send Wen Liang back, along with a bunch of rewards and a new maid.

After Wen Liang returned to the mansion, the construction of the original small courtyard had just come to an end. Because there were remnants of opium left here, when Yinzhen sent people to rebuild, he specially asked people to replace all the soil, so it took a long time , still under construction.

Tongque guarded the warm room after Lu Yi left, but after all, it was in the study outside, and there were people around when walking around, so there was nothing to worry about. Except for the cool study, the other places were cleaned every day, so it was not necessary to worry about it. No big deal.

After Wen Liang returned to the mansion, the only problem was Tonghua. After all, he suddenly brought a woman from outside the mansion. At first Yinzhen thought it was Wen Liang who accepted Huang Ama's kindness. After all, he had also heard of Huang Ama. Wen Liang has never been worried about getting married.

It's funny to say, maybe because of the shared secret, now Kangxi and Yinzhen have a lot more conversations than before. Except for the occasional government affairs, Kangxi will also pull Yinzhen to make daily routines.At first Yinzhen was really uncomfortable, but after he got used to it, he also felt that his heart was ironed out.

After all, everyone hopes to have a good relationship with their father, and it may not be a good thing to have a bad fight.

When Wen Liang brought Tonghua back, she guessed that other people would have such many thoughts, and specially told Luyi not to let Tonghua serve her personally.After learning from Wen Liang's words and deeds that there was a reason for Tonghua to be left behind, Luyi also directly regarded Tonghua as an ordinary maid.

Tonghua knew her position a long time ago, and she was safe and sound along the way. After returning to the house, she kept a low profile and said nothing, and never caused any trouble.

Yinzhen was busy during the few days when he returned to the residence in Wenliang, and even stayed outside for two days without returning to the residence at all.When Yinzhen was free for a while, it was already the eighth day since Wen Liang came back.

Yinzhen was very interested in Wen Liang's actions. After all, he knew that his husband was not a lustful person. There must be a reason for bringing a Jiangnan woman back.

When Wen Liang learned that Yin Zhen was free, she took the initiative to look for her.

"Sir, please sit down." Yin Zhen said with a faint smile, but after more than a month, Wen Liang's complexion was much better than before, which made Yin Zhen wonder whether Wen Liang was too exhausted before.Huiji will be hurt, it doesn't make sense.

Wen Liang went straight to the point, directly bringing the topic to the serious business, "Master Belle, have you ever heard of the prevalence of buying and selling people in the south of the Yangtze River?"

Yinzhen raised his eyebrows slightly, this straightforward approach can be said to be very straightforward.
