The Possession of My Beloved

Hearing what He Quansheng said, those old people also quit. They just shouted bullshit and surrounded He Quansheng.

Look at their means, they are going to beat this undisclosed boy together.

In fact, He Quansheng’s words were also taught by Miantang in advance. Otherwise, the upright young generation could not have said so.

Miantang expected that Master Cao would come to find her, but she didn’t expect that he would be so brazen to overturn the table and hit people.

She put her face down completely, He said to Master Cao, “Don’t be shameful! Are you going to let me point out that you are the owner of the Cao family’s shipping business? You split up the Lu family’s shipment store privately when my Grandfather was seriously ill and didn’t manage it! You are holding business here, but you are still taking our monthly money there. What a shameless man who is greedy for money! My Grandfather allows you, but I won’t let you! Since you have a big stomach and swallowed so many benefits of the Lu family, then I will make you spit out the benefits little by little! Let me see who dares to touch me! ”

A 19-year-old girl is very gentle in front of the elders normally, to be honest, these elders didn’t take Miantang seriously.

But now, the little girl looks like she is putting on a hard face, but somehow she has the aura, and she asks the seniors to slow down.

Master Cao was being commented that his face turned tight. After he calmed down, he became angry. He raised his hand and continued to smash things.

Although Miantang offended Master Cao in words, she didn’t mean to do anything. Seeing that the workers behind her were going to rush to stop him, Miantang stopped them.

Just then, someone shouted angrily, “Stop!”

Everyone turned around and saw that Lu Wu had entered the Escort Agency angrily.

Master Cao looked at it as if he had seen the savior. He knelt in front of Lu Wu and wept, saying that Liu Miantang was so bad to them.

However, Lu Wu didn’t wait for him to finish speaking. He raised his crutch and yanked it down in his face.

Lu Wu’s martial art skills are good, but he has been ill for years and can’t pick it up. But today, when he was angry, he was very powerful.

Master Cao pretended to be like a Master in front of others, but he didn’t dare to make a fuss in front of Lu Wu. He was only staggered and sat backward on the ground.

When the rest of the crowd saw Lu Wu showing up, they were silent.

Lu Wu is true to his friends, but he also shields the people of his own! His Granddaughter is Lu Wu’s inverse scale. No one can touch her!

At first, he heard that Miantang took over the Escort Agency. He only thought that Miantang wanted to play for fun and that she wanted to subsidize the burden of the family.

Although he cursed his two sons, he didn’t bare to reprimand a word about Miantang. He just thought about finding the right customers to purchase his farmland, he can sell and give Miantang the money back.

Unexpectedly, the Escort Agency worker came to him today. He told him that someone was coming to make a scene in the agency and Lady Liu could not stop them.

So Lu Wu hurries here with his servants. Unexpectedly, he sees a group of elders bullying Miantang.

He also listened to what He Quansheng and Miantang said. As for Cao Wu’s decision to set up an escort agency and set up his own water transport business, someone had already mentioned it to him. But Cao Wu insisted that the shipping company is opened by his nephew.

Lu Wu was in poor health at that time. Seeing the old man crying in front of him, he certainly believed him.

If he had learned these words from his eldest son today, he would not like to hear them. He felt that his eldest son disliked the burden of these old guys and made excuses.

However, the words spoken by the orphans of the He family were very true.

And Cao Wu looked loyal when he was in front of him, but he was so arrogant when he was not!

Lu Wu has been blinded for a long time, and finally has a little enlightenment!

Thinking of Cao Wu, the Old Master Lu was also angry, he said bright and loudly, “if you have the ability, go and pretend to be a Master somewhere else. But none of the tables in this hall belong to you! My granddaughter has the ability to eat from your mouth. If you are not convinced then show your true ability, don’t yell over here! Look at your clothes and your capable nephew, it seems that you originally don’t need the help of the Lu family. From now on, the Lu family and the Cao family have come clean. Please don’t take our name to cheat on people anymore! ”

Lu Wu has worked for decades and has accumulated amazing contacts. This Old Cao’s shipping company can go so smoothly because he has borrowed the reputation of the loyal old escort head of the Lu family.

But today, Lu Wu put his words here to break ties with Cao Wu. There are so many old fellows nearby that this matter can’t be covered. It will be spread soon.

Cao Wu’s face turned blue and red. He never dreamed that the Old Master Lu, who had been ill for a long time and had never left the house, would appear here. Now his business is not good, and he still needs to make connections with his family. It was not a good idea to turn his back on him now, so he began to cry again, saying that he was angry and confused for a moment.

Miantang add on and said, “Master Cao, you are not confused. You are good at playing tricks on others! You asked the boatman you bought at the wharf to steal several boxes of goods shipped by our ship. They have already been caught red-handed and handed over to the government. They have revealed that it was your nephew who bribe them. I think the government should come to pick him away in a few days, otherwise… Would you like to go back first, Master Cao?”

Cao Wu’s face changed when he heard that. Plus, he didn’t have enough face to stay here anymore. He could no longer look back on Lu Wu and be on good terms with Lu Wu. He hurried back.

The rest of the old men turned the helm when they see the situation. They just said that they were encouraged by Cao Wu, and they didn’t know that there were many twists and turns inside, and then they left one by one.

In the huge hall, Lu Wu stood dispirited in the wreckage, his always straight back seemed bent. He walked a few steps out of the hall, looked up at the shop sign “Conscience Escort Agency”, and seemed to understand the meaning of his Granddaughter’s name.

He looked back and saw his Granddaughter who followed him out and hold onto him, sighed, “Do you think your Grandfather is a useless old fool!”

Miantang smiled and said, “It seems that the garrison of the next state is one year older than you. A few days ago, he had a new concubine, and a few months later, there’s good news from them. My grandfather is much stronger than him. If you want to be a father, you can add another uncle for me. How can you be old?”

Lu Wu stares at her irreverence and says, “You’re full of nonsense. See if I will punish you to kneel in the ancestral hall!”

However, because of Miantang’s nonsense speech, she diluted his temporary bitterness, After looking at the sign for a while again, he said, “I heard that you used the excuses to copy the monthly money expenses, saying that you wanted to buy things for your Uncles and Masters. But in the end, you didn’t send out any fruit… I’m old, and I can’t see things as clearly as young people. Over the past few decades, I have done my utmost for the old workers. Those who should be grateful are also grateful. Those who won’t be grateful are also unfaithful. Tomorrow, I will give the key to the accounting room to you. You can check it thoroughly. It’s up to you to decide what you should do or not. ”

How will Lu Wu not know the current predicament of the Lu Mansion? But he could not pass the barrier of “loyalty”. Moreover, his two sons in the family could not suppress those old fellows.

But Miantang has returned now to deal with these things, and he was relieved.

This girl is good at scheming and is capable, and she has a conscience and knows how to distinguish and attend to the elderly and orphans. If she can let the Lu family unload the burden, the life of the whole family will be better.

However, Miantang felt that she could not make it big. She wanted to be courteous and said modestly that she was not talented and learned too little. She still needs her Uncles to take charge of the overall situation.

Lu Wu glared at her and said, “When the worker came to call me, these troublemakers should have just stepped into the threshold, right? You arranged so carefully so early. Your words have caused Cao Wu to smash things so that I could see a good show. Where is your lack of knowledge? Your Elder Uncle is an honest man. I don’t think he should learn from you!”

Miantang did not expect her little scheme was seen by her Grandfather, and she immediately felt embarrassed and pulled him to act cute.

Lu Wu glared at her and said, “You’ve spent so much time and effort for a stubborn old man like me to relent. Now your wish has come true. It’s time to go home and have a good meal.”

Miantang naturally responded with a smile, so he called a carriage, helped his grandfather to get on the carriage, and followed him back to the Mansion for dinner.

When the carriage stopped in front of the door, they bump into the scene where her Second Aunt took an old woman by the hand warmly.

Miantang looked up and saw that it was the Old Lady Su and the Young Master Su, the guest of her Second Uncle’s family.

Listening to the meaning of her Second Aunt, she would take the Old Lady Su and Young Master Su to the famous Chanyin Temple in the State of Xi to offer incense.

In addition to cousin Lu Qingying, there was also a gentle-looking young man following behind the two ladies.

Miantang hasn’t eaten with the entire family these days. She leaves early and returns late all day. Of course, she hasn’t greeted the Su family formally yet.

But she also guessed that this should be the Young Master Su, whom her cousin favored.

Su Mian is also looking at the pretty girl who had just gotten off the carriage now.

He has been in the Lu family for some time, but he has not seen this gorgeous and extremely beautiful woman.

Is she… Is she also the Lady of the Lu family?

The Old Lady Su first greeted the Old Master Lu and listened to the introduction of Quan-Shi and came back to her sense first to react. She looked up and down at Miantang with a smile, and said, “I heard that the Old Master Lu had a capable Granddaughter… By the way, what’s the name of the Escort Agency she runs?”

Quan smiled and said, “Conscience Escort Agency, this name…”

The Old Lady Su answered with a smile, “This name is good. My dowry shop also goes the route of the State of Xi. According to the worker, after changing to the Conscience Escort Agency, it saves money and is fast.”

When Quan heard this, she only smiled. She heard from her father earlier that Old Lady Su’s side of the family had a large fortune. When she married the Su family, there were many dowry shops.

She has only one son, Su Mian. Then isn’t all her future property going to be her daughter-in-law’s?

At this time, Old Lady Su said, “It’s a coincidence that my son have have a single word name of “Mian”, and Lady Liu’s boudoir name also has the word “Mian” in it. It can be seen that when the name was first given, the parents had the same mind. They all hoped that their children would be well fed and sleep in peace for a long time…”

Quan didn’t like to hear this. This Young Master Su came to see her family Qingying, but the Old Lady Su has to mention that her son had been fated in Miantang’s name. Although she appropriately turned the topic of the parent’s wishes, isn’t that still a little inappropriate?

Also…… That Young Master Su kept looking straight at Miantang as if he was amazed by her beauty.

Quan knew that her daughter’s appearance was a lot different from the beauty of Miantang. If the Young Master Su is immersed in her beauty, it will be bad…

However, Quan thought again that Miantang’s experience was too complicated, and she had no parents, which could not be compared to Qingying.

On this thought, Quan felt relieved again.

Since they were going to the temple to pray for blessings, Miantang just smiled and saluted the guests and went into the Mansion with her Grandfather.

When she returned to the Lu Mansion, she was idle for a while and could not sleep at night. In addition, the cook of the Lu family did not match his taste and she didn’t eat much, so she lost weight.

Until later, she did not know why the cook gradually tasted to her liking, and thus, Miantang ate more. It’s just that she still felt cold at night, and occasionally lost sleep until dawn.

It was cold these days. Miantang thought of the pig’s foot ginger stewed by Servent Li and asked Fang Xie to go to the kitchen to cook a small casserole, a pot of pig’s foot eggs, and ginger. After marinating for several days, the taste was just right. Fang Xie put the small casserole on the warm stove in the room to heat it, and it will be ready to eat it.

Miantang took a bite, and the old vinegar and ginger juice was full of the colloid of the pig’s feet. She ate an egg with hot sauce and felt warm all over.

Now her Shipping Company is beginning to take shape. Although it did not make much money at the beginning, when the Cao family’s business was run down, the profit of the Shipping Company would increase. When the business is completely improved, she will transfer the business to her Elder Uncle, and the old signboard of the Shenwei Escort Agency for decades will be put on again.

As for her Second Uncle, if he has his way of getting money, he can go and make it himself. However, it’s really inappropriate for the Second Room to take charge of the house…

Miantang randomly thought about it and suddenly asked, “Fang Xie, where did you buy the sweet vinegar for the pig’s foot ginger? Fang Xie hurriedly said, “I encountered the merchant who was calling the authentic sweet vinegar of Lingnan and bought some when I am out… What’s the matter? Is it not delicious? ”

Miantang looked at the bowl of pig’s foot ginger in her hand, smiled, and said, “It’s nothing. It’s just because you cooked it the same taste as Servant Li, so I ask…”

Before, she didn’t know why the cabbage cooked by Servant Li was different from others.

Later, she learned that it was because the condiments that Servant Li used for cooking are all the local specialty ingredients. For example, the sweet vinegar used to make knuckles ginger was from the Lingnan fumigating vinegar factory, which was specially made. In a year, there are only twenty jars. Except for paying tribute to the Imperial Court, the rest are also taken by the Princes and Ministers.

Even the soy sauce used for cooking is made from superior fish and shrimp. How can the food not taste delicious? Therefore, the taste of richness is a privilege in the Royal Residence, not something that the peddlers in the alley can sell.

So the next day, Miantang inadvertently told the kitchen that she wanted to eat the rouge goose liver and asked the kitchen to buy a northern snow goose to make it.

The kitchen said with a bitter face that after searching the market, they did not find any northern snow geese. Can they use other geese instead?

But a few days later, as soon as the servant woman who is in charge of buying groceries went out, she heard that a hunter was carrying a shoulder of goods and said that there were the northern snow geese.

But this time, the servant woman didn’t buy it. She went to tell Lady Liu that there are northern snow geese selling in the market.

After a moment, Miantang appeared in front of the door in thick fox fur cloaking.

The man who sold the wild geese quickly turned to leave, but Miantang said impassively, “You’re leaving without selling any wild geese. How can you report your mission when you go back?”

Although the disguised hunter wore a round beard and a low felt hat, Miantang recognized at a glance that he was the worker who had worked in her medicine shop before and was also one of Fan Hu’s powerful subordinates.

The secret sentry saw that Miantang recognized him, he was simply generous too. He turned around and put down the basket, and unloaded the snow geese, wild boar legs, and various kinds of wild food.

Miantang said with a tight face, “How do you know I want to eat this? How many spies have been planted in the Lu Mansion? And… I no longer have anything to do with him. Why are you still here?”

The secret sentry could not answer these questions. He just bit his lips and looked at the alley behind him. After a while, he saw Fan Hu coming over, rubbing his hands.

“Madam… Ah, no, it’s Lady Liu. Our Prince ordered us to take care of your daily life. But you seemed to be unaccustomed to eating when you were in the mansion a few days ago. After we sent a letter to The Prince by flying pigeons, he asked Servant Li to write a list and sent some of your favorites according to the list.”

Miantang was unmoved and said, “Which servant did you bribe to give a tip-off?”

Fan Hu arched his hand and said, “Young Lady, you know, we just take instructions. It’s really an act of kindness, and it’s not like we are going to poison you… If you weren’t confused, the snow goose would have long been boiled in a pot… Please do us a favor and don’t ask anymore… When The Prince triumphs, we will be able to report the task properly…”

If it had been earlier, Miantang might have been a little touched. But now, she has a firm heart and said coldly, “He’s indeed the man who will be the son-in-law of The Emperor soon. I really admire him for his gentleness. But I have nothing to do with him. Isn’t it a misunderstanding that he is still doing this… It doesn’t matter if you don’t say it. I will clean up the betrayal in the Mansion. But please don’t harm people, Master Fan. Don’t bribe the servants from the Lu mansion with money anymore…”

Fan Hu was choked that he can’t say a word. If he could, he would have strangled the mouth of the Third Lady He.

The Imperial Edict has not yet arrived in the Northwest. He doesn’t know where the Imperial Merchant, Lady He, heard the news, and eagerly passed it on to Liu Miantang.

In this way, what he said next seemed out of place…

But he had to do what The Prince ordered, so he could only shrug off his face and said with a wooden face, “These are all orders from The Prince, and we can’t do nothing… Besides, The Prince said that he wanted you to wait for him.”

Miantang asked, “Wait for him? What are there to be waiting for?”

Fan Hu didn’t know, so he could only follow the orders and said, “The Prince means to let Lady Liu take it easy. Don’t be hurry to get married.”

Miantang originally thought that it was absurd to hear the slandered words of Master Cao today. But compared with Prince Huaiyang in the northwest, nothing can beat him!

Wait for him? Don’t be in a hurry to get married? What are all these!?

Miantang even suspected that Fan Hu had invented this. Because she couldn’t imagine the proud Cui Xingzhou would say such unreasonable things.

However, Fan Hu solemnly handed Miantang a letter written by The Prince himself.

Miantang looked at the familiar and vigorous font on the envelope and did not even receive it. She turned around and returned to her yard.

Bi Cao poured her a cup of tea, and then asked carefully, “Lady, do you want me to check the servants in the Mansion?”

Miantang took a deep breath and said, “No, according to the ability of Prince Huaiyang, if he wants, the small Lu Mansion is also under his possession… Go and ask the Women Servants in the Mansion, which matchmaker in the State of Xi is more reliable, and ask her to come tomorrow.”

Bi Cao and Fang Xie looked at each other. How can she take her marriage as a token of fighting?

But Miantang said, “Since he said so. If the matchmaker of the Lu Mansion didn’t come to inquire about me, wouldn’t it seem that my yard is desolate?”

She just wants Cui Xingzhou to know clearly whether to marry or not, the elders of the Lu Mansion will arrange it, and the more important thing is to follow her heart. He is a man who is about to become the son-in-law of the Emperor, so he can’t worry about it!

Although she thought so, Miantang was still angry with Cui Xingzhou and didn’t sleep all night. The next day, when the sun was rising, she was still rolling in bed.

She also knew that she should not stay in bed. There are too many people working in the Lu Mansion who are just slacking to get money. She needs to carefully sort out and make a good rectification. However, she was too tired a few days ago, and she is completely lazy today.

After a while, she was thirsty and wanted to drink the water on the small table beside the bed. Along the half-opened curtain, she saw the letter on the small table.

Fan Hu must have given the letter to the two servant girls behind her yesterday when he saw that she didn’t accept it.

Miantang doesn’t want to look at it. She asks Bi Cao to burn the letter clean. But after tossing and turning in the quilt for a while, she stretched out her slender arm again. Pick up the envelope and slowly pull it out to unfold.

When the letter was drawn out, a flower of dried ballads fell from the envelope.

When Miantang twirled the dried flowers, she vaguely remembered a past event. She saw this kind of strange, light blue flowers in the warm valley of the hot spring pool that Cui Xingzhou ordered people to build. The flower has a wonderfully fragrant and Miantang likes to smell it. Unfortunately, it doesn’t open much, just a small cluster.

At that time, Cui Xingzhou said that he would plant a sea of ballads for her in the future, and then she could smell enough.

Miantang placed the flower beside her pillow, and then slowly opened the letter.

The letter is very thick, with seven or eight pages. However, even if Miantang had seen it three times, she could not get any sense of seriousness.

It was nothing more than his daily life after she left.

For example, the cat she left in the yard gave birth to a litter of kittens. He chose a white cat with a black pointed tail to keep in his Mashal’s tent. Because it likes to sleep as much as she does, it is named the Sleeping Fairy.

The clothes she sewed for him were washed by Moru’s rough hands. However, when he wore other clothes, he always felt less comfortable than the old clothes.

The valley is already full of ballad flowers, but they like to attract bees. He has to wear a gauze cap when he enjoys the flowers, and the valley is so noisy that he can’t take a bath at ease.

If there is no breakup before their parting, just from the content of this letter, it is the daily life of the long-separated husband and his beloved wife who are nagging about their parting.

Miantang asked herself what kind of husband and wife they were? Shouldn’t it be that Prince Huaiyang lost his battle and lost sleep for a while that he got so bored and he have to write to her for relief?
