my grandmother

Linhai Town.

The full moon hung low over the vast sea, and the waves lapped against the rocks.

On the desolate cliff, Mr. Liu sat on a sandalwood chair covered with gold, playing the flute with his legs crossed.

The sound of the flute is clear and clear.

Wu Miaozhen stopped a stone's throw away from Mr. Liu's house, looked around carefully, and then moved forward.

Wu Miaozhen stood next to Mr. Liu. Mr. Liu just finished the song. He stood up and turned his flute to look at Wu Miaozhen.

Wu Miaozhen also looked at Mr. Liu.

"My surname is Liu and my name is Jingting. I am a disciple of Miss Li. I must be Miss Li's disciple." Mr. Liu said straightforwardly, "You don't need to introduce yourself. I know you and I also know that you came forward only after being persuaded by Miss Li." It’s the Chengzi Gang. But.”

Mr. Liu paused in his words, and once again looked after Wu Miaozhen up and down, "The so-called being persuaded by Miss Li is just a step, an excuse you found for yourself, or you used persuasion to get into the palace and take advantage of the opportunity. That's Miss Li." Even if I don’t persuade you, you will still want to be the gang leader.”

"I know you too, but I didn't expect you to talk so much nonsense." Wu Miaozhen looked at Mr. Liu with a sneer.

Mr. Liu laughed and said, "I am being honest. You and I are taking care of Miss Li. We are partners."

"Which Miss Li are you talking about?" Wu Miaozhen asked bluntly.

"Li Bao's grandmother, the newly appointed concubine of Prince Rui's palace." Mr. Liu replied with a smile.

"Does Miss Li know that she has you as her disciple?" Wu Miaozhen asked.

"Of course, the prince also knows." Headmaster Liu smiled.

"What do you want from me?" Wu Miaozhen looked directly at Mr. Liu.

"I'm afraid Gang Leader Wu's persuasion through Miss Li is not very reliable, right?" Mr. Liu stared at Wu Miaozhen.

Wu Miaozhen was expressionless and didn't speak.

"The new porters on the dock are getting along well with your Chengzi gang. You rely on the prince? How much can the prince bear for you?" Mr. Liu continued.

"What do you want from me?" Wu Miaozhen asked again.

"I said, we are partners, you don't need to be so wary of me. How much can the prince bear for you? Is it reliable?" Mr. Liu also asked again.

"What do you want to say? Since we are partners, you might as well say it directly." Wu Miaozhen avoided Mr. Liu's question again.

"Gang Leader Wu, why don't you go and meet Miss Li? The Li family is facing a sudden storm, and it's the right time for Miss Li to hire someone." Mr. Liu suggested.

"You are from overseas, what do you want?" Wu Miaozhen's tone seemed less stiff.

"There is no difference between overseas people and Gang Leader Wu. They need support to stand tall and sit for a long time." Mr. Liu said calmly.

Wu Miaozhen looked at him for a moment, then cupped his hands and said, "Thank you very much. If nothing happens to Mr. Liu, I'll take my leave."

"The Wu Gang is mainly looking for me, so they go to Liuyun's old house in town." Mr. Liu said behind Wu Miaozhen.

Seeing Wu Miaozhen walking away, Mr. Liu walked around a section and went down the cliff along the almost invisible steps.

One of the guards passed by Mr. Liu, went over to pick up the chair, and followed him down.

There was a small boat parked on the edge of the cliff, and Mr. Liu got on the boat and entered the cabin.

He Chengze saw Mr. Liu coming in and put down the cup in his hand. "How about it?"

"You're very calm. Where has she gone?" Mr. Liu sat next to He Chengze.

"This woman should not be underestimated. But what can she do?" He Chengze said in a calm tone.

Mr. Liu hummed.

"Do you want to go back?" He Chengze looked at Mr. Liu and asked. Mr. Liu's face darkened, he was silent for a moment, then shook his head and said, "It's useless for me to go back now. I'll go back after making arrangements."

"Then select a few people to keep an eye on Wu Miaozhen. She is probably familiar with all my people, so they won't be able to keep an eye on her." He Chengze said.

"it is good."

........................

Wu Miaozhen returned to her home in Linhai Town. Before finishing a cup of tea, she changed her clothes and quietly went out with a few confidants to Pingjiang City.

Li Jinzhu set out early in the morning to go to Wujiang County to see the newly established weavers' school. When she went down to buy some steamed buns at the city gate, she got in the car and saw the leader Wu who had talked to her sitting in the car. .

"I just want to talk to the eldest lady." Wu Miaozhen suppressed her voice, smiled and explained, and reached out to pull Li Jinzhu.

Li Jinzhu got into the car, lowered the curtain, and the driver drove the car forward.

Li Jinzhu handed the vegetable steamed bun in the lotus leaf bag to Wu Miaozhen, "Have you eaten yet?"

"I came here in the middle of the night, so I won't be polite." Wu Miaozhen took a vegetable steamed bun.

The two of us sat opposite each other, one of you and one of us, and finished eating a few steamed buns with vegetables.

"Did you come here after hearing about Grandma's engagement?" Li Jinzhu asked first.

"I heard about the fourth lady's engagement. I came here either because I heard about the engagement, or to talk to you." Wu Miaozhen paused, then continued: "I also want to ask you, if you need my help A place?"

"Thank you, it's nothing. Whether grandma is engaged or not, it doesn't matter to us. As it was before, it will be the same in the future." Li Jinzhu looked at Wu Miaozhen.

This big gang leader on the road looks homely and amiable.

A-nan said that from now on, no matter who he is in front of her, she will see the best side. This gang leader is probably the same.

"How can it be the same as before? No matter what you think, it can never be the same again." Wu Miaozhen looked at Li Jinzhu, "I don't know how many people want to know you, cling to you, and even make plans to marry you, and try every means to marry you. You, your brothers and sisters are also the target of public criticism, and you all want to make friends with them and cling to them. Your brother-in-law is the same."

"What's the use of this? I won't tell anyone, and my grandmother won't listen. The same goes for my younger brothers and sisters." Li Jinzhu frowned.

Gang leader Wu is right. Now, even Sister Mei is not allowed to go out to buy groceries. There are always people forcing all kinds of things to Sister Mei, staring at her and talking to her, so that Sister Mei doesn't dare to go out.

"If you say no, even if they believe it, they will still think: That's what you do to others, and it must be an exception when it comes to her." Wu Miaozhen didn't know what he thought of, shook his head and laughed. "You don't have to say anything. If you climb up to you and can talk to you, you are very respectable. You can fake it and even take advantage of it to cause trouble. For example, when you do evil, you threaten to have no relationship with you and make others afraid."

"Many people know me." Li Jinzhu sighed.

What Gang Leader Wu said was also what she was worried about.

"Let me help you keep an eye on it, as well as your Li family." Wu Miaozhen said directly.

"How can we keep an eye on this? How many manpower are needed? How can this be done?" Li Jinzhu was a little surprised.

"There is no need to arrange special manpower, just pay attention. If I hear something, I will come over and tell you. It will be an excuse to talk to you." Wu Miaozhen said with a smile.

Li Jinzhu said nothing.

"This is a matter between the two of us. I told you last time. I think you are the same as me. You are a person who thinks women can do something. You are a person who can talk. I can trust you. You should know , I'm alone, I'm not afraid, and I'm not alone, but it would be nice to have someone to talk to, right?" Wu Miaozhen's voice was low.

"Well, I'm better than you. Yuzhu and I can talk. I discuss all the big and small things at home with Yuzhu." Li Jinzhu paused suddenly, but she couldn't discuss Yuzhu's marriage with Yuzhu.

"Is there anyone you like in Yuzhu?" Wu Miaozhen asked.

"There is a family that just passed the scholar examination. They are very suitable." Li Jinzhu was silent for a moment, "Anywhere is good."

Wu Miaozhen looked at Li Jinzhu clearly and said with a smile: "That's good. Speaking of which, if there is a chronological order, does Yuzhu and your brother have to get married before the Fourth Lady?"

"Well, that's the plan." Li Jinzhu took out the needle and thread, held the soles of his shoes, and chatted with Wu Miaozhen about daily gossip.
