Liangchen has introduced the characters of Hongying, Yanmei and Lian'er. He knows that Hongying and Lian'er are kind-hearted, generous and tolerant, but Princess Yanmei is extremely strong. If Yanmei agrees, the other two people will naturally have no objections. Therefore, Wenxiu hesitated again and again and had no words to dissuade his father.
Princess Yanmei was urged several times by Cheng Jin, and then she said coldly: "Master Cheng, if you want to get glory and wealth, I will do it for you. But I can't agree to this for you, because he has already We're engaged. You can't let him cancel the previous marriages, right? One of the marriages was decreed by the emperor." Cheng Jin quickly said: "I don't expect high-ranking officials to be well-paid, but only hope that my children will be happy. We don't want Liu Shaoxia. I canceled my previous marriage, I just want to set up one more marriage, no matter how big or small it is!"
Princess Yanmei had a sullen face and had not spoken yet. Pingting beside her couldn't bear it any longer and shouted sternly: "Shut up! How can you, a country girl from your family, keep up with my princess? What a wishful thinking, what a toad wants to eat Swan meat! Give up this idea as soon as possible!" Cheng Jin was shocked. He never expected that the other party would say such ugly words, and he couldn't help but be stunned. Seeing his father and sister being insulted, Cheng Wenyong became angry and shouted loudly: "Miss Pingting, how can you hurt others? If the princess doesn't want to help, you can just refuse. Why do you want to humiliate people? I want you to tell my father and sister Girl, please apologize!"
Pingting has been following Princess Yanmei since she was a child, and she has high martial arts skills. Although she is a maidservant, no one dares to despise or offend her outside. Cheng Wenyong was just a rich country man. If it weren't for Liu E's sake, she would have fought. Because Cheng Jin's words were undoubtedly suspected of blaspheming the princess. Cheng Wenyong asked her to apologize, which undoubtedly added fuel to the fire!
Pingting was furious and scolded: "I didn't ask you to kowtow to the princess to apologize. This is already an act of mercy outside the law. How dare you ask me to apologize to you! What an idiot!" Chanjuan saw the two of them becoming more and more tense as they talked. , thinking that if something unexpected happened, it would be difficult to explain to Liu E and Liu Shui. Chanjuan was a steady person and said hurriedly: "You two, calm down! Mr. Cheng, you don't know something. Liu Shui, Liu Shaoxia and my princess have been engaged for a long time, and the current emperor personally issued the decree. Therefore, Master Cheng's proposal is somewhat inappropriate!" "
As soon as Chanjuan said this, Cheng Jin and Cheng Wenyong were stunned. Are they asking for trouble? How could she, a princess from a royal palace, and betrothed under an imperial decree, agree to a village girl becoming one husband with her? Cheng Jin's face changed greatly, and he hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed to Princess Yanmei, saying: "The common people don't know the reason and offend the princess, please forgive me! The matter of the little girl is the nonsense of the common people, please don't take it to heart." .”
Yanmei glanced at Cheng Jin coldly and said: "Master Cheng, please get up! Those who don't know are not guilty, and this princess will naturally not care about it. People should be self-aware, so it is better to give up those unreasonable thoughts as soon as possible. The matter is over for today, I will take my leave now!"
Princess Yanmei walked ahead with a cold face, followed closely by Pingting and Chanjuan. Cheng Jin and others naturally did not dare to stop him, so they could only respectfully send him to the entrance of the village. Princess Yanmei was in a very bad mood, thinking that she had come here in good spirits and returned in disgrace. Along the way, they whipped up their whips and urged their horses to gallop back. Pingting and Chanjuan were eager to comfort them, but they had no chance to speak.
After Chanjuan finished speaking, Gao Qiong and his wife went through Liu Shui to understand why Princess Yanmei was so angry. Liu Jinding smiled slightly and said: "I thought it was a big deal. Shui'er has good character and martial arts, so it is inevitable that girls will like him. This is also normal. Mei'er, do you hope that no one will like him but you? Are you interested in someone alone? If that’s the case, you’ll probably be even more unhappy!”
Princess Yanmei was a little embarrassed and a little shy by what her mother said, but she still argued forcefully: "Mother, my daughter cannot bear to see him messing around with women everywhere, just like a playboy and a playboy!" Liu Shui hurriedly cried out for injustice. Said: "The princess misunderstood, I didn't go to provoke others. I was ordered by my aunt to find them, but I accidentally helped them. When Master Cheng mentioned this matter, I refused. This point You also know this, how can you say that I am a playboy?"
Gao Qiong also said: "Mei'er, don't be willful. Shui'er is right, that is the Cheng family's wishful thinking. Don't mention this matter again. You all should step aside. My wife and I still have official business to discuss!" Gao Qiong The purpose of issuing the expulsion order was of course to allow Liu Shui and Yanmei to be alone together so as to eliminate their bad feelings. Everyone knew this and left immediately. Yanmei left the hall and walked slowly to the back garden.
Liu Shui stepped forward quickly, called her out softly, and once again declared that he had no thoughts about Cheng Wenxiu at all. Yanmei said: "Flies don't bite seamless eggs. If you hadn't expressed it, how could they have such thoughts?" Liu Shui said blankly: "I don't know this. If you don't believe it, you can ask Good time and beautiful scenery. From the time I entered Chengjiazhuang to the time I left there, I didn't say a few words to Wenxiu." Yanmei snorted coldly: "Who doesn't know that good time and beautiful scenery are your most loyal girls? What more can I expect them to say? Are you responsible for these embarrassing things?"
At this moment, Liangchen came to see Liu Shui and happened to hear what Princess Yanmei said. Liangchen immediately giggled and said, "Sister Princess, why are you speaking ill of your servant behind your back? This is beneath your status!" Although Liangchen was polite to Princess Yanmei on the surface, he didn't respect her very much in her heart. After all, when she first started in Tanzhou, Yanmei's attitude toward Liu Shui, Liangchen, and beautiful scenery was not very friendly.
Good times and beautiful scenery are, after all, the home of a little girl, and she is somewhat vindictive. Although I can't say there is much hatred, there is always a bit of estrangement. In addition, Princess Yanmei has a very high self-esteem and relies on her noble status, so it is inevitable that she has a somewhat condescending attitude. If she hadn't had some talents in seeing good times and beautiful scenery, and Liu Shui seemed to have great trust and affection for them both, I'm afraid it would be difficult for them to live in harmony.
Therefore, when Liangchen heard Yanmei's secret accusations against him, he was of course unwilling to be outdone. Liangchen knew that although Yanmei was Liu Shui's fiancée, he would not lose to Yanmei in terms of importance in his heart. Liu Shui prefers to be close to himself and the beautiful scenery, because only in front of himself and the beautiful scenery can Liu Shui feel unrestrained, safe and secure. What's more, the intimate relationship between the good time, beautiful scenery and Liu Shui at this time is still more than charming.
Princess Yanmei saw that Liangchen suddenly appeared and retorted, and she suddenly got angry and shouted: "You bitch, why don't you know how to avoid talking to your master when I talk to you?" Liangchen saw that Yanmei was angry, But he smiled and said: "Your Majesty, please forgive me, I didn't know you were whispering. Because I have something important to report to the young master, and I happened to be passing by, I didn't take it into consideration for a while. Please forgive me, Your Majesty!" Liangchen apologized, but his expression was different. It's like it doesn't matter.
Yanmei wanted to scold angrily, but Liu Shui said displeasedly: "Princess, I remember telling you when I was in Tanzhou. The good time and beautiful scenery are not my maid, let alone a cheap girl, but mine. Step sisters. You should also treat them as sisters, instead of always acting like a domineering princess!" Seeing that Liu Shui didn't help her, but stood up for Liangchen, Yanmei was so angry that she snorted and turned around. Just leave.
Liangchen said hurriedly: "Master, as the future mistress, it is normal for her to criticize the maid. Why do you have to quarrel with her over such a trivial matter? You should go over and coax her, so as not to affect your relationship." Liu Shui was very dissatisfied with Yanmei's contempt for Liangchen just now, so he said: "I won't coax her. She just puts on the airs of being a princess. I don't care about it. You don't know yet, she just showed off in Chengjia Village End of prestige!" Liangchen asked in surprise: "What happened?" Liu Shui told Liangchen what happened in Chengjia Village.
After listening to this, Liangchen pondered for a long time, sighed, and said: "It's a pity that Master Cheng met Princess Yanmei. If it were Sister Hongying, it would be different. But Miss Wenxiu is gentle and lovely, and she suffered such a fate this time It's a big grievance, and I'm afraid I'll get seriously ill again!" Liu Shui thought to himself that Liangchen was telling the truth. With Hongying's bold and tolerant personality, he naturally wouldn't mind Cheng Jin's proposal. And Liangchen and Meimei have sympathy for the weak. Between Yanmei and Wenxiu, they will inevitably prefer Wenxiu.
The more Liu Shui thought about it, the more annoyed he became, so he decided to let go of these difficult things and asked instead: "You just said you wanted to tell me something, what exactly was it?" Liangchen said: "Master, I am incompetent, and I have spent a lot of time on it." The power of the tiger, even though my mouth was dry, I still couldn't convince the two lotus girls." It turned out that Liangchen arrived at the cell and met Bai Lianhua first. Liangchen and Bai Lianhua have dealt with each other many times, so they naturally understand each other somewhat.
Liangchen first greeted and cared about them, because Liu Shui had previously told the jailer to entertain them well. Therefore, White Lotus and Red Lotus had good food and good housing in prison, and no one bullied them. Apart from not being able to move around, no one bothered them. Bai Lianhua saw that it was a good time and knew that she was Liu Shui's number one confidant and celebrity, so she was polite.
Liangchen then persuaded Bai Lianhua not to continue to follow Yang Xuelian and do evil, but to abandon the darkness and turn to the light and choose life again. But Bai Lianhua refused, saying that she could not be an ungrateful person. Good times are easy to talk about, but Bai Lianhua just turns a deaf ear and won't let go at all. Liangchen had no choice but to let her think about it.
Liangchen then came to see Honglianhua. She had no relationship with Honglianhua, so she didn't have much hope. Compared to white lotus, red lotus has a bad temper and is easily impulsive. Therefore, as soon as Liangchen opened his mouth, he was scolded sharply by Honglianhua, claiming that he would rather be broken than broken. She also shouted that she wanted to kill or chop him into pieces, as if she was looking forward to death. When Liangchen saw this, he knew he couldn't continue the conversation, so he had to come out.
After hearing this, Liu Shui couldn't help but frown and said: "In that case, let them go. We will give them a chance and we will not show mercy next time we meet." Liangchen shook his head and said, "No. You let Ruoxue go easily last time. Do you see any regrets in Ruoxue? She still followed Li Zhen yesterday and tried her best to help. These two lotus messengers are not weak in martial arts. Once the tiger is released, there will be endless troubles." Liu Shui hesitated. Asked: "But it doesn't make sense to keep them locked up like this. How about you think of another way? If you really can't persuade them personally, then abolish their martial arts and let them go. In this way, they can be like ordinary people. Life! What do you think?"
Liangchen thought for a while and said: "It seems that this matter cannot be impatient. Anyway, they have only been detained for one day, so there is no need to be impatient. Let's lock them up for a few days to wear down their energy. Maybe if the detention time is long, the White Lotus Sect will not come to rescue them. They, they might be disappointed with Yang Xuelian and change their minds!" Liu Shui had no other choice but to agree and leave all the matters of persuading surrender to Liangchen for her to handle. She didn't need to report anything to herself, just tell her the result. That’s it.
While the two were talking, Mei Mei hurried over. She came closer and asked: "Master, Liangchen, I just met the princess and saw her face full of anger. I greeted her, but she still had a straight face and ignored me. What happened to her? You provoked her. Is that so?" Liu Shui and Liangchen looked at each other, thinking that the princess was really vindictive and hated her so much that even the beautiful scenery was affected. Liangchen smiled slightly and told Meimei the whole story.
After listening to Meimei, she suddenly realized, but she said doubtfully: "You two offended her, what does it have to do with me?" Liangchen said: "In her eyes, the three of us are indistinguishable from each other, and Lian'er probably also She will be implicated." Meili murmured to herself: "This is too small-minded, the young master will be in trouble in the future!" Liu Shui said seriously: "You don't need to take it to heart, I won't spoil her, Educate her properly. She should still know the principle of obeying her husband when she gets married."
Mei Mei thought for a while and said, "Master, how about we find a secluded place to live? There are so many people coming and going here, it's too noisy!" Mei Mei always loves peace and doesn't like the noise of the Yamen. Liu Shui was silent. Although he didn't like the excitement, he couldn't bring it up to Gao Qiong and his wife, for fear that they would be unhappy and become suspicious of each other. At the same time, he had just had some trouble with the princess and was about to move out, which was undoubtedly a slap in the face of the Gao family.
Liangchen naturally thought of this and immediately expressed his opposition. Liangchen thinks Yanmei is at fault now, not Liu Shui. The relationship between Liu Shui and Wenxiu is impeccable. On the contrary, Yanmei is messy and uses her power to bully others. Gao Qiong and his wife should first discipline their daughter before making demands on Liu Shui. If you simply walk away, I'm afraid it's not the best way.
Liu Shui came over seeing the beautiful scenery and quickly asked Lian'er how she was doing. Meimei told Liu Shui that Lian'er's spirit was greatly shaken and her internal strength also increased. At this moment, she was preparing herbs with Qiu Lu and Fang Ming, and she was in a good mood. It turned out that Fang Ming had not recovered from his injuries in the battle at Zijin Mountain yesterday, so he could only stay in Jiedushi Yamen to continue to recover from his injuries. However, he was not idle either, and took the initiative to take Qiu Lu to help Lian'er refine medicine pills.
In addition to taking care of Fang Ming, Qiu Lu seemed to be very fond of medical skills and immediately pestered Lian'er to learn from her. Lian Er has a bodhisattva heart and was moved by Qiu Lu's sincerity. She agreed to teach Qiu Lu medical skills, but she said that she would only be Qiu Lu's senior sister, not her master. Qiu Lu didn't think much and agreed.
