Shen Qingluan also laughed when he heard this, but still explained seriously:
"These soldiers were all killed among the dead. People who live on the edge of a knife don't have time to read and practice calligraphy. I'm afraid these words were suppressed for a long time."
Yes, no wonder he was so angry after being punished by others. It must be because he couldn't write a memorial and couldn't appeal in front of the court.
Shen Qingluan sighed and shook his head.
There are little bastards like Jun Yuan in the world who are coaxed and encouraged to study but don't cherish them.
There are also this kind of poor people who have no way to study and regard anyone who is willing to teach them as their savior.
Cuicui rolled her eyes and looked at her smile, suddenly stamped her feet, put her hands on her hips, and roared angrily:
"This wolf-hearted and dog-eating bug, Mr. Bearded has a warm heart, and even dares to scold the imperial censor for his subordinates. However, that man actually doesn't even think of good things and instead repays kindness with hatred.
Madam, you have to help Mr. Beard vent his anger! "
Even though Shen Qingluan knew that she was deliberately being funny, she still laughed out loud.
However, what Cuicui said makes some sense.
Although the man's behavior was rough, he was indeed a man of love and justice.
In order to seek advice from Shen Qingluan, he not only went to the Shen family to inquire about it, but also generously gave away so many precious medicinal materials.
Compared to Shen Qingluan, who had been working as a cow and horse in the Jun family for many years, the Jun family still guarded her against thieves and showed her superiority and inferiority.
Even though Shen Qingluan was a noble and upright man, he could not say no to this generous gift that solved her urgent need.
What's more, even if he doesn't give gifts, Shen Qingluan probably won't sit idly by.
A scholar dies for his confidant, and Shen Qingluan will not die for him, but that does not prevent her from being willing to teach him.
Thinking like this, she put down Du Mianmian's matters for the time being, walked to the desk, and wrote quickly:
[Lang Junan:
The villainous behavior of your subordinates that you mentioned is mentioned in the ancient book "Wei Gong Qi Lue" as an allusion to "Hua Fang's mistakes".
In the Spring and Autumn Period, the treacherous prime minister of the Song Dynasty, Hua Fang, formed a party and gained great power for his own gain. Although the Duke of Song Dynasty was the king, he was weak and unable to control him for a while, so he secretly supported another minister, Bai Ji.
After Bai Ji gained power, he fought with Hua Fang. In the end, both sides suffered losses, and the power of the country returned to the hands of the Duke of Song. This process is called "checks and balances." 】
She knew in her heart that the man had never been to school, so he might not be able to listen to the difficult truths about applying for the Olympic Games.
Then he followed the method taught to Jun Yuan in his previous life and quoted scriptures to explain the strategy in a simple and profound way.
Then he solemnly warned:
[With a little effort, there is no need to give generous gifts, but Shen's elders are seriously ill, so the husband has no shame in rejecting the generous gifts, so he repays them briefly with books and calligraphy.
It should be noted that entering the court to discuss politics is no more important than marching and fighting. It not only emphasizes strategy, but also emphasizes writing and conversation, and the most important thing is handwriting and etiquette.
I hope you will study poetry and calligraphy diligently and become a blockbuster one day. 】
After finishing writing, he picked a copy of "Wei Gong Qi Lue" and two copybooks from the desk:
"Give it to mother. Tell mother that the medicinal materials received will only be used by father. If that person comes to visit again in the future, let mother give it to him."
Cuicui happily took the things and went out.
Shen Qingluan was sitting in front of the desk, looking at the inkstone that was still wet when writing, and suddenly smiled deeply.
Hua Fang made mistakes, what a Hua Fang made mistakes!
In vain, she has read so many history books and strategies that she has forgotten that a dog biting a person is a disgusting thing, and a person biting a dog is a cheap thing, but a dog biting a dog is a big event that everyone applauds!
Why should she care about Du Mianmian? She only needs to lift one more person up, and she can sit upright in the hall and watch the show.
That beard looked rough and vulgar, but it helped her a lot this time!
After making up her mind, Shen Qingluan raised his hand and called another maid, Zhuzhu, to come closer.
"I remember your hometown is Xingtou Village?"
Zhuzhu's temperament is not as lively and clever as Cuicui, but she is honest and steady. She will listen to Shen Qingluan's questions and nod in response.
"I'm not busy these days. You can go home with some pastry fabrics later and ask your brother and sister-in-law to find someone for me."
"Who do you want to inquire about, madam?"
Shen Qingluan dipped his fingertips in water and traced randomly on the table:
"The person's name is Liu Yueniang. She is about twenty-four years old. If you find her, tell her that I, Shen Qingluan, intend to take her as my concubine and see if she is willing."
Zhuzhu looked puzzled: "How can a woman from a good family be willing to be a concubine? Isn't asking like this a scolding?"
"You also said she is an ordinary woman."
Shen Qingluan curled her lips sarcastically, "Women related to the Du family and the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion are naturally extraordinary."
Liu Yueniang was originally the maid who had served Du Wenniang personally. After Du Wenniang's death, Shen Qingluan took the initiative to release a bunch of maids from the Hou Mansion with compassion for everyone.
Not only did he repay the deed, but he also received a sum of money as a severance payment.
This was supposed to be a good thing that everyone was happy with, but unexpectedly on the fourth year of their marriage, Liu Yueniang suddenly stopped Jun Hongbai's carriage.
She said that Shen Qingluan deliberately drove her out of the Hou Mansion in order to abuse the old people around Madam Xianhou.
These people who are related to Du Wenniang will accept all the orders even if Jun Hongbai, a fool, tells him that shit is delicious, let alone smearing Shen Qingluan, a person he is already on guard against.
He immediately had a violent fight with Shen Qingluan, and then welcomed Liu Yueniang into the house and became Du Mianmian's personal maid.
Liu Yueniang had served Du Wenniang for many years, and she knew Jun Hongbai's preferences very well.
Du Mianmian was taught step by step how to imitate Du Wenniang, and the two of them worked together, almost suffocating Shen Qingluan.
Now that I think about it, Liu Yueniang is a sinister and ruthless person. If she is used to deal with Du Mianmian, wouldn't it be a good knife filled with murderous intent?
As for whether Liu Yueniang would agree to enter the Zhenyuan Hou Mansion.
Oh, in her previous life, she also sent someone to investigate after suffering a big loss and found out that after Liu Yueniang took the money and returned to her hometown, her parents robbed her of the money and made her the wife of a butcher.
When the butcher was killing pigs in the middle of the night, he tripped and his neck fell on the knife edge. He died on the spot.
Liu Yueniang returned to her parents' home in tears, and her reputation as a scheming husband was spread. She was unable to remarry even if she wanted to. Seeing that she was no longer valuable, her parents' family ordered her to be tortured and beaten all the time.
If she couldn't survive, how could she attack Jun Hongbai's sedan?
Zhuzhu left the Hou's Mansion doubtfully, and sure enough, in the evening, she brought back Liu Yueniang, who was sallow and skinny.
Liu Yueniang bowed respectfully as soon as she entered the door, but Shen Qingluan did not ignore the flash of hatred and calculation in her eyes.
Ha, it's really ridiculous. She doesn't hate the blood-sucking parents, but they hate her.
It's really a match made in heaven with that bastard who doesn't distinguish between right and wrong.
Shen Qingluan looked at her for a moment but did not speak.
Liu Yueniang finally couldn't hold herself back any longer and said with a sullen face: "What did Madam mean when she sent someone to tell me that stupid thing?
I used to be a slave of Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion, but I was not Madam’s slave. What’s more, now that I am a good citizen, what was Madam’s intention when she told me to be a concubine! "
Liu Yueniang has been with the Du family for a long time and has already learned how to manipulate people's hearts.
She knew in her heart that Shen Qingluan had a noble character, was gentle and prudent, and hearing that she was so self-respecting made her think highly of her.
If she shows such humiliation again, Shen Qingluan will feel even more guilty. Shouldn't she let Liu Yueniang control her?
To her surprise, Shen Qingluan looked at her for a moment, then placed the fan in his hand on the small table, making a crisp clanking sound.
Liu Yueniang held her breath for a moment.
The next moment, Shen Qingluan said calmly: "Since Madam Liu is so noble, it's me, Meng Lang, Zhuzhu, please send Madam Liu back.
When it comes to taking concubines, I will find someone else who is willing to do so. "
Visible panic flashed across Liu Yueniang's face, and she looked up at Shen Qingluan for no apparent reason.
What's going on?
Didn't Shen Qingluan take the initiative to ask her to serve the uncle? She just pretended to say something to Qiao, so why did Shen Qingluan want her to leave?
Zhuzhu pulled her up expressionlessly, "Ms. Liu, I'm sorry for today. I will take you back."
As he spoke, he pushed her out.
Zhuzhu was as strong as an ox, and even though Liu Yueniang had done menial work for many years, she had no power to fight back in front of her, so she had no choice but to hold on to the doorframe.
"Wait, wait, wait, I, I am the personal maid of the first lady, and my relationship with the uncle is extraordinary..."
Shen Qingluan held her chin and looked at her, nodding in agreement: "Yes, yes, how could Sister Du's personal maid be willing to be a concubine? I was totally wrong."
Zhuzhu grabbed Liu Yueniang's hand and pulled her staggeringly to the yard.
Seeing Shen Qingluan getting further and further away from her, just like the glory and wealth were getting further and further away.
Liu Yueniang was anxious, "No, no, no, I am willing, I am willing, please give me a chance, madam!"
I will serve you well! "
Zhuzhu paused and looked at her expressionlessly.
The other maids serving in the yard also looked at her with difficulty.
What does it mean to go back on one's word? This is it.
What does it mean to be pretentious? This is it.
Zhuzhu suddenly let go and said angrily: "If you are willing, why bother telling lies in front of my wife? This is not a waste of my energy."
Liu Yueniang lost her support for a moment and fell to the ground suddenly.
The maids in the yard laughed high and low.
Liu Yueniang's cheeks were burning at the mocking gazes of the crowd, and she wished she could dig a crack in the ground and crawl under.
But she didn't dare to say any more pretentious words at this moment, because now she knew that it was not Shen Qingluan who wanted something from her, but she wanted something from Shen Qingluan.
After thinking about this, Liu Yueniang quickly changed her face, put on an attentive smile, got up and walked back to the house.
"My slave said something wrong. Madam, please don't blame me. Why don't you tell me in detail what you want me to do? I will naturally be furious and you will not dare to disobey me."
She bowed and poured a cup of tea for Shen Qingluan, holding it in front of her with a smile.
Shen Qingluan looked at her attentive face indifferently.
He also had such a face. In his previous life, he knelt at Jun Hong's feet and pointed at her with gnashed teeth and cursed angrily.
A gentleman is afraid of virtue, and a villain is afraid of power. She was wrong. She regarded these idiots as gentlemen as herself.
Just when the smile on Liu Yueniang's face was about to freeze, Shen Qingluan reached out and took the cup of tea.
But she didn't drink it, but put it on the table casually, "Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion accepts concubines, what kind of woman can't accept them.
It's just that I miss you serving in front of Sister Du, and I miss you too. I think you guys have something to say. "
Liu Yueniang nodded vigorously, wishing she could pack herself up and send her to Jun Hongbai's bed the next moment.
