"Liu Wen, I have met Mr. Yan."
"It turns out to be Young Master Liu. I see that the Young Master has an extraordinary bearing and appearance. He must be from a wealthy family. Miss Wu and I are old friends. I don't know why the Young Master stopped me."
"The reason has been made clear just now. A man and a woman alone drinking together in a wine shop would be a bit overstepping their bounds."
"Young Master, what you said is wrong. The customs of our Han Dynasty are not as good as before. There is no custom that women are not allowed to show their faces. Moreover, the public security in Chang'an is perfect. The Criminal Division will not tolerate lawbreakers who dare to commit crimes. Don't you know, Master?"
What's more, whether to go or not depends on Miss Wu, and I didn't force her to go. "
Yan Shizhao understood every word, but it made Liu Che feel a little embarrassed. After all, he was indeed responsible for his mistake.
At this time, Wu Xiaomei spoke: "I'm sorry, Mr. Yan. Please forgive me for not being able to go with you. I hope you will forgive me."
Hearing what Wu Xiaomei said, Liu Che couldn't help but feel relieved.
When Yan Shizhao heard this, he said: "Miss Wu, you should know my feelings. I also know that your past is a bit embarrassing, but I want to tell you that I am sincerely happy with you."
He glanced at Liu Che and then said, "Please think about it carefully. My father also knows about our relationship and he wants to meet you."
Now it was Wu Xiaomei's turn to be at a loss. Just when she didn't know how to refuse, Liu Che spoke: "Master Yan, I would like to remind you that according to the laws of this dynasty, the age of marriage for men and women must not be less than sixteen years old.
I think this girl is only fifteen years old at most. Are you afraid of being charged with forced marriage if you act like this? "
Yan Shizhao frowned: "Mr. Liu, how come Miss Wu and I don't need your intervention? I know a lot more about the laws of the Han Dynasty than you do. I know what to do and what not to do. If you really break the law, it is also the responsibility of the Ministry of Punishment. Could it be that Liu Is the Young Master from the Criminal Department?"
Liu Che shook his head: "I am not from the Ministry of Punishment, but a new student from Chang'an University. I am just reminding Mr. Yan not to regret his one-time actions for the rest of his life."
Yan Shizhao felt a little deflated now, and looked at Liu Zhao with a little more awe.
Chang'an University is the first institution of higher learning in the Han Dynasty. Those who can get into it are the best among the best among the students. Those who can get in cannot just rely on connections.
Regardless of men or women, those who have been able to enter university in the last ten years since elementary school have consolidated their position in society. All walks of life are eagerly seeking talents, and they are sought after by countless people. Among them, Chang'an University is the leader among universities.
Yan Shizhao once heard that a girl from Chang'an University was appointed as a non-staff member by the Ministry of Rites while she was still in school. As soon as she graduated, she could directly enter the political arena.
In this era where men are still generally superior to women, the fact that a woman enters the six ministries is enough to cause a lot of publicity.
Yan Shizhao didn't dare to provoke people from Chang'an Academy.
Youshi took the initiative to hand him over: "It turns out that I am a top student from Chang'an University. I am disrespectful and disrespectful. There were many conflicts in my words before. Please forgive me."
But then the conversation changed: "But why does Young Master Liu keep obstructing me?"
Liu Che took a deep breath, mustered up the courage to look at Wu Xiaomei and said, "It's nothing, I'm just here to buy some powder."
Wu Xiaomei responded: "I wonder what kind of powder you want, Master?"
Liu Che said without hesitation: "I want them all."
"What? Want them all!?"
Not only Wu Xiaomei was surprised, but Yan Shizhao on the side was also shocked.
Liu Che continued: "Miss Wu, please help me check it. Someone will come to pick up the goods tomorrow. This is the deposit."
As he spoke, Liu Che took out a silver note from his arms, with a face value of one thousand silver dollars.
This move really shocked Yan Shizhao. He finally understood, what kind of spices did Liu Wen buy? She just fell in love with Wu Xiaomei.
The rouge spices in the West Market can only be considered to be of middle to lower grade. They serve the general public in Chang'an City, and the spices in the entire store do not cost that much.
Wu Xiaomei hurriedly handed the banknote back: "Mr. Liu, this is too much. These spices are not worth that much."
"Miss Wu, take it."
Yan Shizhao glared at Liu Che and left the spice shop silently.
Wu Xiaomei had no choice but to accept the bank note excitedly.
Based on the income from her spice shop, this thousand silver dollars is enough for four to five years.
"Miss Wu Nao, I'll take my leave now."
Liu Che finished his salute and was about to leave the spice shop.
I didn't want to but Wu Xiaomei called out: "Young master, stay here."
As he spoke, he picked up a sachet and walked quickly to Liu: "Sir, this is a sachet sewn by the little girl. It has the effect of refreshing the mind. Please accept it as a thank you gift."
"That's it, thank you very much."
Liu Che took the sachet and watched Wu Xiaomei leave. He couldn't help but put the sachet to his nose and smell it, smiling lightly.
But when he had just left the incense shop and was only one step away from the carriage, he was suddenly dragged into a dark alley.
When Liu Che came back to his senses, he saw seven or eight burly men standing in front of him, staring at him fiercely.
"Who are you?"
Although Liu Che was frightened, he did not panic. He put the sachet tightly and took a defensive posture.
A strong man in short clothes stepped forward, crossed his hands across his chest, and said to Liu Che with an arrogant attitude: "Boy, I'm warning you, you'd better not make any decisions about the woman my brother likes. Stay away from Miss Wu’s shop from now on, don’t you hear me!”
Hearing this, Liu Che finally knew who was behind the scenes, and hurriedly said: "You were sent by Yan Shizhao, right? What's the point of being someone who works behind the scenes? If you have the ability, let him come out and talk to me."
As soon as he finished speaking, Yan Shizhao immediately walked out from behind the strong man and said to Liu Zhao: "Mr. Liu, I don't want to have any trouble with you, but Miss Wu is the one I fell in love with first. Please don't interfere.
With Mr. Liu's appearance and status, he can easily find all the ladies in Chang'an City, so why bother looking for beauty in this market place? As long as you say something today that you will no longer interact with Miss Wu, I will not embarrass you. "
Liu Che sneered and said: "Mr. Yan's methods are too despicable. I can see that Miss Wu doesn't like you, so why do you have to push me so hard?"
Yan Shizhao: "Mr. Liu, you are just interested in Miss Wu's beauty, and you are just playing with Miss Wu for a noble family like you.
And I really want to stay with Miss Wu for the rest of my life. Do you know her previous experience? If you knew, would you still be sincere to her?
She once had a husband who died serving his country. Do you have the heart to harm her like this? What's more, even if you really don't mind, will your parents agree to this marriage?
Don't think about Mr. Liu, you and Miss Wu are not the same person. I just ask you not to harm him again. "
"Miss Wu has a husband?" Hearing this sentence, Liu Che was completely confused.
Yan Shizhao said: "I hope Mr. Liu can let these good girls go. Today is just a warning. Mr. Liu please don't set foot here again in the future. Let's go!"
After saying that, Yan Shizhao led the people out of the alley, leaving Liu Che alone in a daze.
