A peasant girl traveled through time and space, and she became prosperous

"Miss, what kind of customer is she? Isn't she just a flower seller?

You, you are praising her too much, aren't you?"

"I think you have no manners. If I say you are a guest, you are a guest."

Seeing her mistress's face darken slightly, the maidservant tactfully shut up, took two steps back, hugged the pot of flowers and said nothing more.

After scolding the girl, when she looked at Wen Meijiu again, Wen Meijiu's round almond eyes were circling around her, making her feel shy all of a sudden.

Covering up, she reached out and pulled Wen Meijiu's hand, pushing her to the stool next to her. Miss Liu asked:

“What’s your name and why are the flowers you sell so strange?

I have only heard of twin lotus flowers, but never heard of twin lilies."

Wen Meijiu looked at Miss Liu in front of him with shining eyes and said with a smile:

"My name is Wen Meijiu, you can call me Ajiu. Twin Lilies is a new variety cultivated by my mother, which is not available on the market."

Her gaze made Miss Liu even more shy. Miss Liu lowered her eyebrows and eyes, pursed her lips slightly, and silently recited her name:

"Good wine, good wine, the wine is mellow and the person is beautiful. My sister has beautiful eyebrows and eyes, and a pretty face. She is like an ancient wine that makes people unforgettable and happy."

Wen Meijiu praised her, and she praised Wen Meijiu in return. Wen Meijiu giggled when she heard it. This Miss Liu's skill in concealing her shyness was really cute, and she liked it very much.

"Oh, by the way, sister, what did you say when you were hawking on the street just now? It sounded quite interesting to me, but I didn't hear it clearly."

In order to divert Wen Meijiu's attention, Miss Liu raised her eyelashes slightly and changed the topic to flowers.

Wen Meijiu knew that Miss Liu would try any possible means to cure her illness, so she leaned forward and sat on the stool opposite Miss Liu, smiling, and said seriously:

"My twin lilies can ward off disasters and troubles, and bring good luck and a good marriage."

Miss Liu's eyelashes moved slightly, then drooped gently, and said with a smile:

"My sister is interesting and her words are interesting too."

The young lady from a wealthy family is indeed different from others. She speaks very tactfully. Doesn't it mean that she is exaggerating her products?

Smiling at her, Wen Meijiu said seriously:

"I'm telling the truth, this flower will bring good luck to people."

This flower was given to my mother by a wandering monk. "

"I think you are making this up, right?"

The maid A Cui stood nearby and whispered sarcastically.

Wen Meijiu, who had a bright smile on his face just now, now looked gloomy. He slowly turned his head to look at A Cui who was standing next to him.

When she looked into her bottomless eyes, Ah Cui suddenly felt weak inside, her eyelashes drooped, and she said:

"Our lady is easy to fool, but I am not."

Although he said that, his voice was low and slow.

Miss Liu took in the whole scene, and suddenly felt that the warm wine in front of her was not that simple.

"Ah Cui, get out!"

Miss Liu spoke directly, her face darkening.

"Yes, ma'am."

Ah Cui leaned towards her young lady in frustration. Just as she turned to leave, Wen Meijiu called her from behind.

"Sister, give me the flowers."

A Cui turned around reluctantly, stuffed the flowerpot into Wen Meijiu's hand, and left.

Wen Meijiu and Miss Liu were the only two people left in the room. Miss Liu leaned close to Wen Meijiu and asked carefully:

"Sister, do you have any basis for what you said?"

Wen Meijiu turned her head back and suddenly started giggling again, which made Miss Liu laugh so hard that she stared at her intently.

He stopped laughing, warmed up the wine and said:

“True or false, false or true, everything depends on human effort.

Sister, you have something bothering you that you can't solve, right?"

Miss Liu held the silk handkerchief in her hand, looked the warm wine up and down, and asked very vigilantly:

"how do you know?"

So Wen Meijiu stopped pretending and told her everything about her family's experiences and how she met the matchmaker.

"This damned villain has lost all conscience!"

Twisting the handkerchief in her hand, Miss Liu felt angry, annoyed and helpless, with tears welling up in her eyes. But in the end, she took a slight breath and did not let it out.

Ah Cui was driven out and felt aggrieved no matter how she thought about it. She paced back and forth under the eaves below, but in the end she was still angry.

"When has my lady ever scolded me for a small matter? Now she is scolding me for a liar..."

The more he thought about it, the more annoyed he became, and he glanced towards the stairs.

It had been quite a while, and there was still no sign of the people upstairs coming down, so she stomped her feet and went straight to the front yard.

**

After Wen Meijiu said goodbye to Miss Liu and just walked under the eaves below, he heard the sound of Cao noise coming from the hall in front, and the sound of many people's footsteps, which sounded like they were coming this way.

"How could a liar enter your lady's room in broad daylight?"

A middle-aged male voice asked loudly, mixed with anger.

"It's all my fault. I failed to stop him, so the liar took advantage of the opportunity and entered the lady's room."

"If you don't open your eyes now, if anything happens to your young lady, I will hold you responsible."

The middle-aged man's voice became even angrier and his steps became more hurried. He picked up the thick bolt from behind the door and knocked it against the pillar, making a loud "bang".

"Yes, how could you be so stupid as to let someone of unknown origin into the young lady's room? What if he was sent by Mr. Liu?"

The voice of a middle-aged woman was anxious and angry.

"Everyone get your weapons."

The middle-aged man seemed to be awakened by the middle-aged woman's words, and shouted at the people around him.

Hearing the hint of something, Wen Meijiu touched the dagger at his waist and sighed softly.

A Cui, the maid, is really bad. She doesn't have so much time to get entangled with these people here. The matchmaker is still waiting for her reply outside.

Before she encountered anyone from the Liu family, she quickly slipped into the space, and after the group of people had passed, she quickly went out the side door.

"Dad, Mom, Mr. Wang is really too much of a bully, and he has someone backing him up. You can protect me for a while, but you can't protect me forever!

He found a matchmaker to force a marriage today, who knows if he will find someone to snatch the bride away tomorrow?

So it would be better to take a gamble than to sit here and wait for death!"

Miss Liu knelt on the ground with tears in her eyes and kowtowed heavily to her parents.

"If anything unexpected happens, my daughter will bear it all and will never bring any trouble to the family."

A middle-aged woman still had her charm, but her beautiful face was a little sad. She went up to Miss Liu and hugged her, crying and saying:

"Silly child, what parent would be willing to watch others ruin their daughter?

You are our life, why would we be afraid of being implicated?

We are afraid that you have fallen into someone else's trap. After all, that woman's origins are unknown. How can we easily believe the words of an outsider?"

“Mom, she’s not someone from nowhere.

She said that she had someone behind her, and that he was a powerful man from the capital, who was currently resting in a large house at No. 4 Yonghe Street in the city.

The middle-aged man sitting in the chair frowned, countless fine wrinkles piled up on his broad forehead, and he stared at his daughter without blinking.

He was familiar with the mansion at No. 4 Yonghe Street, as he had to pass by it every time he went to the bookstore to buy something. The imposing vermilion gate, the high stone steps, and the majestic lions beside it always made him take a second look.

He had also wondered what kind of family was worthy of living in such a magnificent mansion?

"A Cui, take the servant with you and go to the city to ask if the prince from the capital lives in the mansion at No. 4 Yonghe Street."
