Confucius businesswoman: proud of the world

Chapter 77 The Frog at the Bottom of the Well
It's almost indescribable that someone who can be called a nobleman by Mrs. Liu doesn't even dare to call the other party's name and official title directly.The reason why it cannot be described is because the identity of Mrs. Liu is already a second-rank official residence.

The man in black got off his horse and was welcomed into the house by Mrs. Liu, and his horse was taken away by the servants of the Liu family, fed with the best horse feed, so that it could be kept in the stable of the Liu family.

The man in black looked up at Mrs. Liu's living room. There were some expensive antique calligraphy and paintings. Most officials liked to decorate themselves with these. The man in black seemed to smile with disdain, and turned to face Mrs. Liu.

Mrs. Liu had already knelt down formally, and said in his mouth, "My lord."

The man in black was sitting on Old Master Liu's chair. At this moment, his face was completely exposed, his eyes were long and narrow, a bit seductive, but he was a man to the letter.

The voice of the man in black became more and more slender and charming: "I can't afford to kneel like an old man, you are an authentic second-rank official."

However, Mrs. Liu kowtowed on the ground: "Your Excellency treats you with kindness and kindness, that is, at any time, you should be filial to Your Excellency."

The black-robed man had a mocking and frivolous look on his face, "Get up, old man."

Old Mrs. Liu dared to stand up now. No wonder even Liu Shao couldn't come in this room. If he saw his grandfather kneeling in front of an unknown person, he would be shocked. The so-called low status, but It's just an excuse.

Only then did Mrs. Liu dare to face the man in black, Situ Xueyi, the helm of the Situ family in Beijing, the four major families in Beijing, Duanyang, Situ, Suye, and the royal family.

This ranking is reversed. The royal family has been one family since ancient times. The king of the world is the soil, followed by Su Ye Changgui, followed by Situ on the left and Duanyang on the right.

All other aristocratic families are relegated to second-rate.

Situ Xueyi rested his chin on his hand, and looked at Mrs. Liu leisurely, as if he was just staring at a random place. Such contempt was almost unimaginable to Mrs. Liu in the past.

"Old man, when you asked to resign that day, you agreed that it would only be for one month. Now it has been three months. Could it be that the old man is getting older and more and more reluctant to let go of the warmth of this family? If so, why didn't the old man ask His Majesty , Retired early and returned home."

While knocking on the table casually, he said lazily.

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Liu would not have thought that just a small postponement would cause such dissatisfaction from the other party, and she could not help but want to kneel down again. Unexpectedly, Situ Xueyi glanced over and forcefully made Mrs. Liu's knee stand upright.

"There are many trivial matters at home, please be magnanimous..."

Situ Xueyi suddenly took a step closer, looked at Old Master Liu and smiled: "What trivial matter? Why don't I share the old man's worries?"

One thing in Mrs. Liu's heart, Situ Xueyi's appearance in Xianyang is definitely not a coincidence. He is the helm of the Situ family, and he came to Xianyang dressed like this. Thinking of what the Situ family often does for the royal secrets, Mrs. Liu's heart shuddered.

"My lord, stop joking..."

Situ Xueyi raised his eyebrows, smiled lightly, and showed a touch of sarcasm: "Is the old man unwilling to say it, or is it too embarrassing to say it?"

These words directly hit Old Master Liu's Achilles heel, his expression changed drastically, and he saw the letter that Situ Xueyi took out from his sleeve flashed in front of him.

Old Mrs. Liu felt guilty: "This is, this was sent to the capital a few days ago by the next official..."

"Really." Situ Xueyi squinted his eyes, the letter still had Mrs. Liu's big seal on it, at least the letter looked unchanged from the outside.

Mrs. Liu thought that there was something in the letter that offended Situ Xueyi, and was about to make amends, but Situ Xueyi said indifferently: "Old Mrs., when you went to Situ's house to ask for help, it was not your turn according to your qualifications, but the old master said You are ruthless and daring to do what ordinary people can't, so you are a commoner and promoted to today's status."

Mrs. Liu knew better than anyone how he came to have all this, and immediately knelt down on the ground: "If I have done something wrong, please tell me!"

It's so scary, it's going to scare people to death.

Situ Xueyi threw the letter in front of Mrs. Liu: "You open this letter first."

Mrs. Liu looked at the familiar handwriting on it, why should he read it, he can still remember every word in this letter.

But Situ Xueyi asked him to read, there was no reason for him to say no, he immediately picked up the letter, opened it without saying a word, put it in front of his eyes and scanned it again.

Immediately, his face turned sallow, and he looked at Situ Xueyi in disbelief, holding the letter in his hand trembling.

Situ Xueyi sat on the chair indifferently: "Master Liu, is this the letter you wrote?"

Mrs. Liu was startled suddenly, and fell on the ground, not daring to make a sound.

The letter, at some point, was no longer the one he wrote, but the appearance was so complete that it seemed that it had never been damaged. Even the imitated handwriting in the letter belonged to Mrs. Liu. It would be misunderstood that the letter was completely written by him.

However, thinking about the contents of the letter, Situ Xueyi must have robbed the letter halfway. If the letter was really delivered to the capital, the consequences... Old Mrs. Liu suddenly couldn't imagine.

"Thank you, my lord, for saving my life!" Mrs. Liu lay on the ground, not daring to raise her head.

Situ Xueyi knocked on the table again and again: "Old man, if you met me ten years ago, I would not have promoted you. You are too stupid, but you don't feel it yourself. My Situ family What is needed is a person with real wisdom, not a superficial scheming like you, who can be seen everywhere, and you don't even know who changed your letter."

Old Mr. Liu had no room to pretend to be angry. What he was thinking about the letter was, who could imitate his handwriting so vividly? In Xianyang, how could anyone dare to change his letter? !

Situ Xueyi glanced at him, and the contempt deepened at the corner of his mouth: "The frog at the bottom of the well."

Mrs. Liu came back to his senses in a flash, fell on the ground and asked: "My lord, please help me, I am willing to die for my lord!"

He is just a dog of Situ's family, and he will not be able to escape in this life.

Situ Xueyi tapped his fingers: "You are really stupid if you say you are stupid. Your grandson is just like you. The woman she was engaged to marry ran away with someone, and it took three months to get back the debt. The daughter of the Kong family is at least the head of the Kong family's generation, and she is lucky to meet such idiots as you."

……

Yu'er listened to the sound of the piano every day, she was really happy, and she even felt that it would be a great pity if Mr. Su Ye stopped playing the piano one day.

"Miss, it's not that you don't want to forgive him for giving the piano to Mr. Suye, but, Miss, you don't want to part with the sound of the piano, right?" Yu'er smiled playfully, and she dared to talk to Kong Linglong like that.

Mr. Suye played the piano every day to apologize to the young lady, but the young lady pretended to ignore it, but searched for the phoenix to borrow flowers to present to the Buddha, obviously forgiving in her heart, and insisted on Mr. Suye playing the tune every day.

Kong Linglong glanced at Xiyuan. She also listened to a lot of qin music to relieve boredom in the compound of the deep house the day before yesterday, but Suye's skill is indeed very good. She also admitted that besides reading the account books, it is also very pleasant to listen to.

Just when the master and servant were immersed in the sound of the zither, the sound of the zither suddenly stopped, and there was even a very unpleasant and sharp sound of broken strings on the strings.

People who were originally immersed in the music suddenly felt as if a line had been drawn on their hearts, and they were very frightened.

Yu'er looked around anxiously: "What's going on, the sound of the piano, could something have happened to Mr. Suye?"

Kong Linglong also narrowed her eyes, the sound of the zither was cut abruptly, as if a person had to break the strings of the zither when his mind was in turmoil.

But that Suye, the smiling and gentle Suye, was the only one who made other people mess up. Could it be that he himself would do the same?

In the West Garden, Suye looked at the Broken String Qin in front of him, and asked one more question in disbelief: "What you said is true?"

The man in black clenched his teeth: "Young master, we can no longer hide here. The Kong family is no longer safe. Situ Xueyi is different from the group of Liu family's wine bags and rice bags. The young master can't deal with it alone!"

The news came suddenly, Su Ye's fingers were still on the strings, this piece of music was just a good song for those who are close to him.

But now all the good songs are gone in the blink of an eye.

Seeing that Suye remained silent for a long time, the man in black simply knelt down and said, "Young Master, it's too late, let's go!"

To go is to leave Xianyang completely and return to the capital, where even Situ Xueyi is a wild dog without minions.

Long Jiu Su Ye curled up his fingers and held the broken string: "I can't go."

The man in black suspected that he heard it wrong. He looked at Su Ye: "Young Master? What did you say? Your purpose of coming to Xianyang has already been achieved. Staying for these days is a violation of the original plan. Now Situ Xueyi is even more ambitious to spy on you. What are you still doing here?"

The man in black felt that his young master was not a person who disregarded the overall situation at all.

Suye looked at the face of the man in black: "Let's go now, what should the Kong family do?" Linglong... what should I do?
The man in black trembled, and said in a voiceless voice, "Young master?!"

Where is the time for children to love each other now?They were leisurely and leisurely before, because in this small Xianyang, they don't have to be afraid even if they turn upside down, because they are not of the same status and level, and the Liu family is just a fox pretending to be a tiger.

But now the tiger behind the fox is here, and that is the existence that can stand shoulder to shoulder with the young master of his family. Isn't it like an egg hitting a rock in this little Kong's house? !

Suye's face darkened: "Okay, I've already made up my mind, let Situ Xueyi come if he wants to come, and I may not be afraid of him."

The man in black's face was pale. To be fair, his young master certainly doesn't have to be afraid of the Situ family, but Situ Xueyi is a well-known lunatic. Is there a difference between a lunatic and a lunatic?

Su Ye quickly glanced at the man in black: "From today onwards, your task is to follow Miss Kong's family closely. Wherever she goes, don't let her out of your sight. Remember, don't let me down."

The man in black probably couldn't remember the last time Suye emphasized not to let him down, but today he looked at Suye with some despair. In order to protect this woman, the young master started to do whatever it takes.
