Mother Li is really embarrassed in the yard these days.

This type of spy undercover has few good endings in the past. Her mother Li can get out of the hall and enter the kitchen, she is the first-class madam of the palace, how dignified!

In the end, I took over this errand from the master.

So it's no wonder Miantang treats her coldly.

It's just that the time she spends with Miantang is not too short, she clearly knows that her background is not good, but the little lady He Miantang is too attractive. This sudden break with Mrs. Liu, the old mother's sophistication and hard-hearted heart is not very happy.

What I didn't expect was that Miantang suddenly came to say sorry to herself, which really broke her old mother!

At the moment, she hurriedly said that she couldn't bear the words of Mrs.

Mian Tang smiled: "Don't call me Mrs. I'm not married to him, just call me Miss Liu."

Because there was someone to help, Miantang made it very fast. After frying and seasoning, it was put on a plate.

Mother Li also made other side dishes and brought them to the table.

So by the time Miantang carried the plate into the house, Cui Xingzhou and her uncle had already sat cross-legged on the kang table and started drinking.

However, because Lu Xian was injured, he couldn't drink alcohol, so hot water was used instead.

At first, he didn't expect that Cui Xingzhou would take the initiative to eat with him, and he couldn't help but suspect that he was rhetoric.

The things that Miantang did on Yangshan under the name "Lu Wen", no one knew about it except Lu Xian and his younger brother Lu Mu, even the father at home deceived it. .

So Lu Xian was not afraid that his bodyguards would gossip when they were interrogated by this Cui Junye's men.

However, if Cui Junye is always swaying and making tricks at any time, then it will make people a little difficult to deal with.

But when he got to the table, Cui Xingzhou didn't lead up to Yangshan, but just asked Mr. Lu about the customs of the Northwest, such as food and anecdotes.

Lu Xian was in the northwest for a long time and was very familiar with these things.

So the two asked and answered one by one, and the words gradually increased. That waiter is leisurely, no different from chatting at home.

Seeing that he didn't mention Yangshan's rebellion, Lu Xian gradually felt relieved, but it was difficult to be as comfortable as Cui Xingzhou at first.

But when King Huaiyang wanted Corporal Lixian to put down his posture, his tone was so friendly that those who knew him would not dare to recognize him. In addition, his conversation is very knowledgeable, and chatting with him will never be boring.

Lu Xian, as a person in the rivers and lakes, was originally a person who likes to talk and make friends. Sometimes the friendship between men is just a few words and a few words are right, and the enthusiasm will rise.

After waiting until the bottom of the dish, Lu Xian already felt that if this Cui Jiu and his niece were married at the beginning, what a perfect couple they would be!

Cui Jun has lived in Lingquan North Street for so long, and he has never spoken to any neighbor for more than three sentences. Why is he so enthusiastic and attentive to a **** who smuggled mines now?

Miantang went out after delivering the dishes. However, Cui Xingzhou took the initiative to move into the heated kang and said, "Uncle is not an outsider. You can also come to the table and eat those dishes. Let the maid serve them."

In the past, when Zhao Quan and others came to eat at home, Miantang would avoid suspicion and hide in the wing to eat, so Cui Xingzhou took the initiative and asked Miantang to stay and eat together.

Miantang thought for a while and said, "No, I'll eat next door..."

The eldest uncle is of course not an outsider, but since Cui Junye is not her husband, if they eat at the same table, they are suspected of wanting to rely on others.

Liu Miantang felt that although she didn't have to treat Cui Jiu coldly, she still had to distinguish between inside and outside and avoid suspicion.

But Cui Xingzhou didn't want her to be awkward with him, he just stretched out his hand and dragged her onto the heated kang, and then instructed the maid to take clean dishes and chopsticks and put them in front of her, and then clamped her to her. My favorite sweet and sour braised shrimp.

There will be no shrimp in this wild place of Jinjiaguan in the northwest. This is what Cui Xingzhou ordered a few days ago to buy at a high price in a far away village.

I did this just to make Miantang happier, but when the shrimp arrived, the love of the fake couple came to an end.

Mian Tang looked at the golden shrimp with chopsticks and knew that it was specially bought by Cui Jiu.

Although he took advantage of himself and had impure motives, he really used his heart for her on weekdays... Miantang's mother passed away early. Her daddy and elder brother were also ordinary, and never cared about Miantang.

This also makes Miantang develop the temperament that once she receives the favor of others, she will repay it.

Cui Jiu treated her well, bit by bit, although there was nothing in the first year. But after moving to Lingquan Town, those pasts are really unforgettable in a lifetime.

So he brought the dish, and Miantang ate it silently.

For a while, Lu Xian looked at the pair of young children in front of him, no matter how they looked at it, they were a perfect match.

You know, before he broke the scam, his niece was so good with her husband that she couldn't tolerate anyone saying anything bad about him.

It's a pity for him to be so scattered!

So when they were at the table, Lu Xian took the initiative to ask what Cui Jiu meant.

"Miantang was in danger before, and was saved by the military master. Our Lu family will never forget this kind of life-saving grace. I will serve the military master with water instead of wine."

Cui Xingzhou deserved this love, so he raised his glass in return, and shared a drink with Lu Xian.

Lu Xian put down the wine glass and said again, "However, Miantang and you have been together for a year, no hire or matchmaking, so it's really unbelievable...I don't know what your plan is? "

Since he mentioned it, Cui Xingzhou pushed the boat and said: "This is naturally to be made up, but right now the northwest war is chaotic, I can't marry before the battle. Miantang lost her parents, the father's side is there. There is no decent person either. When I go back to Zhenzhou, I will ask my uncle to take care of it. As for the dowry, I will let them do my best, and I will not let Miantang lose his face..."

Lu Xian just finished his question, holding his breath and waiting for Cui Jiu to answer. After listening to his sincere words, Lu Xian really let out a sigh of relief.

When the two of them were talking, Miantang kept her head down, obviously listening to what they said.

Lu Xian saw that Cui Jiu wanted to marry Miantang, so he could safely ask: "I wonder if there is a high hall above you?"

Cui Xingzhou nodded and said, "My father passed away early, but my mother is still alive and healthy."

After listening to this, Lu Xian asked again worriedly, "You can call the shots alone in such a big marriage? You have to tell your mother, right?"

Cui Xingzhou said indifferently: "I can make the decision by myself."

Seeing that Cui Xingzhou said so firmly, Lu Xian was a little relieved again. But there is one more thing, not making it clear is always a problem.

"Since the military master is interested in marrying my niece... I wonder if you can tell me the name?"

Cui Xingzhou knew that he couldn't hide his identity now, so he just said it all at once.

"Under the name of the boat, the word diving."

Lu Xian nodded to himself when he heard this, but felt that the name "Cui Xingzhou" was very elegant.

But Liu Miantang, who had been raising her head beside her, suddenly raised her head, looked at him in disbelief, and asked aloud, "You...are from the Zhenzhou... King Huaiyang Cui Xingzhou?"

After hearing Miantang's words, Lu Xian realized it too—no! The King of Huaiyang of Zhenzhou - the ruthless prince who almost wiped out the elites of Yangshan and caused Miantang to run around with people for a while... Isn't that the name of Cui Xingzhou?

Thinking about this, Lu Xian glanced at Cui Xingzhou in surprise, wanting to wait for him to say that he just had the same name as the King of Huaiyang.

But Cui Xingzhou said calmly: "...it's down there."

For a moment, Lu Xian understood. No wonder he was charged with smuggling barbarian ores, and he could not escape the heavy blame, but Cui Jiu was able to release him from the camp without any effort to destroy it, and arranged for him to come to Wuning Pass without asking anyone for instructions.

He is the head coach of the entire Northwest Dayan barracks.

Lu Xian didn't speak for a long time, and he couldn't think of it when he killed him. The one who lied to his niece... was actually Cui Xingzhou, his niece's nemesis!

When Miantang was directing the pilgrims to fight guerrillas, he flanked King Huaiyang's men several times, causing Huaiyang's children to scream.

It was also that Miantang's fiasco, which damaged many soldiers and caused dissatisfaction with the old department of the East Palace, and began to take the opportunity to attack Miantang...

On the Huaiyang King's side, although they had won a battle, the lord seemed to be unhappy and still offered a high reward to capture Lu Wen, and there was no limit to life or death!

My God!

Lu Xian realized later that the two mortal enemies who used to be inseparable from water and fire, and faced each other with swords and arms, turned out to be husband and wife, and lived together like this for almost two years!

For a while, when Lu Xian raised his head to look at the pair opposite, he no longer felt like a child, a girl, a talented woman, and only wished that Miantang would be far away from Cui Xingzhou, don't let him Just get to the bottom of it!

Liu Miantang's focus is obviously different from that of his foster father. When she saw that Cui Jiu finally nodded and admitted without shyness, she also remained silent for a while, and then asked directly, "You promised my uncle that he would give me a betrothal gift. Will you marry me as a wife or a concubine?"

This is actually a good question to answer. But Cui Xingzhou looked down at her and was silent.

In all aspects, the cousin is no different. If it wasn't for her thinking of procrastinating and watching when something happened to him in the northwest, Cui Xingzhou would not have ruined the marriage certificate.

But Miantang's father was convicted and executed, and his brother was still being distributed. Her grandfather's family was nothing but a bodyguard, and her uncle recently smuggled minerals...

Step back 10,000 steps, even if he is really dizzy, and he only wants to marry the sinner's daughter as his righteous wife, the elders and mother of the Cui family will never tolerate Miantang! When he was not at home, if her mother got angry at others' instigation, who could protect her?

Virtue does not match, and it is destined to be a tragedy wherever it goes.

So Miantang might as well get started as a concubine to avoid rejection by her mother and other relatives. At that time, he will dote on her wholeheartedly, what is worse than his wife?

He is willing to hire her and marry her as a concubine, which is enough to prove his friendship and importance to her. But why can't this woman see his concessions, but she has to move forward, always thinking about the impossible?

But before he could speak, Miantang gave him the answer with certainty: "You said you don't have to report to your mother, you can make the decision yourself. The dignified King of Huaiyang should not ignore Lunchang's disobedience and unfilial piety, But if you are a concubine, you really don't need to disturb the concubine with such trivial matters... Miantang was ignorant before, so please ask Haihan to offend the lord!"

Speaking, she got off the heated kang neatly, knelt on the ground and bowed to King Huaiyang in a solemn manner.

And Lu Xian also woke up after knowing it, and quickly followed his niece to the ground, kneeling in front of King Huaiyang.

Cui Xingzhou was about to get up to help the two when he heard Miantang continue: "However, the people's daughters know that their qualifications are crude and shallow, and they are not worthy of the prince's favor. , Let the people's daughters grow up, "Although poor, don't be a concubine, don't be a continuation wife" have this family motto, the people's daughters really can't bear the prince's love and kindness, and please don't pay attention to the words of the people's daughter's uncle. He doesn't know your dignity, so he hastily opened his mouth to embarrass the lord..."

When Miantang spoke, it was sonorous and forceful.

Lu Xian was twitching his mouth in his heart at this moment. He knew that Cui Jiu was actually Miantang's life-threatening king, and he would never say anything to make Cui Xingzhou responsible.

Now it is fortunate that the niece is proud and does not want to be the concubine of the prince, he immediately answered with kindness: "The grass people don't know the prince's dignitaries, so they just said falsely, and they asked the prince to atone for their sins, just pretend that the grass people didn't say anything. …”

Cui Xingzhou's affinity with the corporal Li Xian today, and now there is not much left, his face is as gloomy as thunder.

Liu Miantang! You are so kind!

What mother's will? What a shameful and unworthy feeling! There are no excuses for contentment!

Could it be that when she was the palace, she was also the North Street mansion in Lingquan Town? If you want to be a mistress, just be a mistress? He thought about her everywhere, and he let it go again and again, but she didn't know how to be sympathetic, and the tone seemed to be how much grievance he gave her!

Cui Xingzhou has always been arrogant. No matter what he does, he has his own bottom line. Now he retreats again and again for Miantang, but no one appreciates it.

Cui Xingzhou will never do this kind of hot face and cold butt. So he let those two kneel down, and after a while, he said to Liu Miantang indifferently, "You've thought about it all, so you won't regret it in the future?"

Miantang didn't look up, but her tone was very firm: "Please don't worry about it, Lord, and never regret it!"

Cui Xingzhou clenched his fists tightly and said: "Well... I changed all the shops and houses in Lingquan Town to your name a long time ago, and now the pharmacy in Wuning Pass is on the leasehold. It's also your name. Tomorrow, I'll ask Li's mother to give you all the land deeds, and also some land. You have money and you can be free in the future..."

Speaking of this, Cui Xingzhou stretched out his long legs, got off the heated kang, flicked the bottom of his robe, and strode out of the house.

Seeing that he was gone, Liu Miantang got up to help his eldest uncle to get up. At this moment, he heard the sound of horses neighing from outside the courtyard. It should be Cui Xingzhou who got on the horse and left.

Lu Xian still had lingering fears: "He...he's telling the truth now, is he really the King of Huaiyang?"

.

Dare to say something bad in front of the master.

He didn't order anyone to twist himself at that time, and it was considered a large number of adults.

Although the husband and wife are fake, Liu Miantang still understands Cui Jiu's temperament and disposition. He is a proud person from the bottom of his heart.

From now on, the bridge will return to the bridge, pass the road, and be safe.

The next day, Mama Li brought a box full of land deeds, and the silver notes were surprisingly rich. However, Miantang didn't answer, just indifferently instructed to put it aside.

Miantang wondered if King Huaiyang had raised a concubine in a foreign house before.

However, remembering everything in Lingquan Town, King Huaiyang did have the capital to show mercy everywhere, no wonder... that Miss He Zhen never forgets him.

In addition to his good looks, his generosity also adds color. Even if it is a dewy marriage, it will make people feel that it is very appropriate and satisfied with the prince, and there is no criticism.

The King of Huaiyang never came back since that time. Just leave a message, and when Lu Xian's injury is fully recovered, Jinjiaguan will send an **** to **** Liu Miantang and her eldest uncle away, and return to the Lu family in Xizhou.

During the day, Miantang went about as usual and started to prepare for leaving Wuning Pass.

Liu Miantang didn't have to worry about the noble servants of the palace like Mama Li and Fan Hu, but whether Bi Cao and Fang Xie could be allowed to be brought into the palace was debatable.

Mother Li said that the prince meant that these two girls were too vulgar to enter the palace, but fortunately, they were good at rough work, so she gave them their body deeds to Lady Liu.

Liu Miantang hesitated a little, Fangxie Bicao cried and knelt in front of her, just begging the lady to show mercy, and she must take them away, otherwise, if she entered the palace, wouldn't it? There are hundreds of Li mothers in charge? Where is there a small house that makes you feel comfortable?

?"

The two nodded hurriedly, and Miantang said: "Well, but there is one thing, don't call my wife again, just call me Miss Liu."

The two maids were taught by Mama Li for half a year, so they refused to bark, and finally reluctantly called Liu Miantang "Miss".

Although Lu Xian's injury was serious, fortunately he received timely treatment.

During the period, there were indeed unidentified people who seemed to want to infiltrate Wuning Pass, which was not good for Lu Xian. But there were heavy soldiers around the house, and those little ones were captured before they could get close.

Perhaps to make Sui Wang, who has always been a thief, have a bottom line, just in April, Huaiyang King sent a memorial to the court that someone colluded with Agufan to sell iron ore smuggled to Heaven.

The Empress Dowager Wu, who was hanging the curtain, was furious when she heard this and ordered a strict investigation, but unfortunately, there were only limited clues in the memorial submitted by King Huaiyang, and there were countless officials from various places involved, but the final leader was never found Show hairy feet.

For a time, countless officials from all over the Northwest were beheaded to set an example. This iron ore smuggling case seems to be over.

Next, it is time for the annual redistribution of military salaries and distribution in the DPRK. The Northwest Army, which was originally in the back and could not get any good soup, has won the favor of the Ministry of Household this year.

The court and the opposition also wondered, when did King Sui become so good with King Huaiyang?

The grain, grass, and loads from Huizhou were shipped directly to the northwest. Without the layers of exploitation by officials, the military capital in the northwest this year does not need to worry about.

It's just that local officials have been beheaded on the commercial road leading to Dayan from the northwest barbarians, so the people of Wuning Pass have heard about it, and when there is nothing wrong with Shengdou and the common people, they will also discuss this incident. Sensational local iron ore smuggling case.

When the case happened, Liu Miantang really sweated on behalf of her eldest uncle, and even Lu Xian himself had trouble sleeping and eating all day.

After all, this smuggling case is intertwined. As the forerunner of the business road, how can he get it clean? As long as an official confesses to him, everyone in the Lu family will be implicated...

Thinking of the worst outcome, Lu Xian once again regretted not listening to Miantang's advice and dipping into the muddy water. He hated that he was injured even more, and that he could not immediately escape the control of King Huaiyang with his niece...

However, when the iron ore smuggling case gradually calmed down, no one mentioned the name of Lu Xian of the Shenwei Escort Bureau.

Liu Miantang knew very well that what Cui Xingzhou said at first about protecting his uncle was not a deceitful remark, but what kind of elaborate arrangements he made, only the King of Huaiyang himself understood.

Because...he will never come to this house in Wuningguan again.

Although Liu Miantang was not free during the day and was busy making arrangements to go home, but every night when she was half asleep, half awake, she would habitually reach out and touch the pillow. When it gets cold, it will take a while to remember that she is no longer the wife of the Cui family, and no one will lie beside the pillow...

So for the rest of the night, she couldn't fall asleep, but she forced herself not to think deeply about the reason why she couldn't fall asleep. Sometimes she simply stood up, lit the oil lamp, and practiced long-abandoned copybooks under the firefly.

Occasionally, Miantang heard news about King Huaiyang, and it was also the words of the military relatives around him. I heard that the soldiers at Jinjiaguan changed their usual defensive tendency and began to counterattack with all their might to regain the important town occupied by the barbarians.

It is said that the soldiers and horses trained by King Huaiyang are all like tigers and wolves. After all, there are several coaches who can eat and live with the soldiers every day, and train together in the scorching sun and rainstorm? However, Wanggui of Huaiyang was a hereditary king with different surnames, but he did enough.

However, the soldiers complained in private, saying how the King of Huaiyang seemed to be tireless recently.

Isn't he sleepy?
