Chapter 7 Wind and Rain Liu Family, Shaky

"From the appearance, he's a good kid."

Luo Huaiyu's voice was calm and steady, with a hint of light and hoarse sound, which was extremely beautiful, contrasting with a soft purple hair, and was graceful and lonely.

She adjusted her angle and faced Liu Ruohuan.

The slender body stretched out at will, instantly stretching the clothes on the chest.

Liu Ruohuan didn't have time to observe carefully just now, but now after careful look, he realized that the Luo family's daughter and head of the family were really too good to have a good figure.

Judging from her hair color, it seems that she is mixed with some alien blood, which makes her facial features look delicate and picturesque, and is very distinguishable.

However, he didn't dare to observe too much, and lowered his head slightly to avoid intersecting the other party's eyes.

Luo Huaiyu noticed Liu Ruohuan's actions and raised her eyebrows slightly.

"The etiquette and temperament are reasonable. Tonight, I will follow me to go back to the Luo family courtyard in Jinling City to learn the rules of the Luo family, so as not to be embarrassed at the wedding."

Liu Ruohuan didn't respond when she heard this, but Liu Yan's face changed slightly. He was not here to issue a letter of employment, it was like a transaction of goods.

Ordinary people pay a little more attention to it, and they must meet the needs of three books and six jobs when they get married.

Not to mention that the head of the Liu family was also a third-rank official in the court. He was not only a gentry, but also a famous family in Suzhou.

Before I even booked a gift, I had to take someone to the Luo family to learn the rules, just like I was a maid in the past.

"Master Luo, this seems a bit unruly." Liu Yan said with an embarrassing expression: "Although my Liu family is not as good as many prominent families in Luoyang City, it is still a famous family in Suzhou, Jiangnan..."

Luo Huaiyu smiled, pursed her thin lips slightly, and said, "Mr. Liu is too worried. I believe you should know my sister's situation. These news is not rumors, but mainly for the safety of Mr. Liu. Since we have booked this marriage, it is best to send it to Luo Mansion early to seek asylum, so as not to have a fourth short-lived son-in-law in my Luo family by then."

Liu Yan was stunned when he heard this. The other party was indeed right. Two days ago, something happened to his wife, and even many servants in the mansion left.

Nowadays, except for a few central people, most of the old servants who stay in Liu Mansion have their own contracts or cannot get rid of them.

At this critical moment, there is no way to find a good servant to protect his younger son's safety. From this perspective, it is indeed a safe choice to send him to Luo Mansion as soon as possible.

But without these etiquettes, wouldn’t my family be equivalent to a partial house status?

Luo Huaiyu raised her eyebrows and asked Liu Ruohuan, "Little Master Liu family, what do you think?"

Liu Ruohuan did not value Sanshu Liupin as he imagined. He bowed and went up to ask, "What my sister said is reasonable. For me, Sanshu Liupin doesn't matter. You can try to keep the wedding banquet as simple as possible. But I want to ask my sister, how should my mother solve the problem?"

"Mr. Liu's affairs are particularly difficult. Last night, Wang Anrong, the young minister of Dali Temple, had already arrived in the nearby Huaiyuan County, just to do this."

"Wang Anrong? I heard that she has a good reputation in the court. Her wife Lan Meng also mentioned to me before that she was a capable man in Dali Temple and solved many strange cases." Liu Yan frowned and said, "If she could find out where the stolen Kuyin was..."

"Wang Anrong is indeed a talent. He cracked the Earth Fire Dragon Heart Case two years ago and made him famous. He also found a thousand-year-old dragon treasure for the Queen. He was a young master of Dali Temple, a fourth-ranked Shaoqing."

Luo Huaiyu paused at this point, and his tone became a little subtle, "But her family was an extremely extreme Northern official, with a firm stance and unmoved by money and power."

"You also know what the officials of the Northern Sect say to you every day. A few years ago, your Minister Liu took control of the Ministry of Revenue in Jinling and was one of the representative figures of the Southern Sect. Even if Kuyin recovered, they would take the opportunity to belittle the ability of southern officials. At that time, even if Mr. Liu could come out of prison, he would probably have to be skinned."

Liu Yan's face became increasingly ugly.

The two factions in the north and south refer to officials from the Han and Tang dynasties who took the Yangtze River as the line and the north and south.

This regional contradiction has been endless since ancient times, but it has become increasingly intense in the past century.

The root cause is that it is foreign invasion. In the past century, the Han and Tang dynasties have been defeated repeatedly in foreign wars and rarely win.

Now it has retreated south of the Yellow River, and there are only a few territories in the north, namely Shaanxi, Shanxi and Henan. All the remaining land north of the Yellow River has fallen.

Therefore, most northern officials are committed to recovering lost land and returning to their hometowns.

But southern officials are just the opposite. Years of failure have long worn away many people's patience, not to mention that the national treasury is empty and living alone is already the main intention in the court.

Officials from the north and south often quarreled in the court. According to rumors, they had fought in groups before the main hall in Luoyang, which became a joke in history books.

But behind this, it shows that the two factions of officials have different opinions and there are already irreconcilable contradictions in both open and secret.

"Wang Anrong has two days left here, and there is one more thing. Compared with this, Shaoqing of Dali Temple is a trivial matter."

Liu Yan was stunned for a moment, "What's the matter?"

"The more refugees in Jinling gather, there have been many people. In the past two days, I don't know who leaked the news that the disaster relief funds prepared by the court were lost. It is rumored that someone was planning to siege the city."

Luo Huaiyu looked up at the two of them and said word by word: "I heard that someone in the court has proposed to publicly execute the officials who made the mistake this time, and then hang their heads at the north gate to show them to quell the public's anger."

"What?"

"This news is not groundless. Three censors from the Northern School all submitted memorials."

Liu Yan and Liu Ruohuan were shocked at the same time.

This time, even Liu Ruohuan couldn't hold back his anger. He never expected that a theft case could trigger a series of chain reactions.

Just like a domino, the Liu family has stepped on the brink of life and death with one foot.

"Although the queen has not agreed yet, the signs of refugees siege are becoming more and more obvious. In order to calm the public anger, the emperor will attack your Liu family. This is why the Liu family became the target of public criticism overnight." Luo Huaiyu said calmly: "If you really want to make trouble for the emperor, who can save the fate of Minister Liu."

Seeing that the two of them were heavy, Luo Huaiyu scratched the cup with the tea lid with the tea lid, and drank the last sip of tea.

"I think Mr. Liu's methods of the Cao family back then should still remember them freshly even if he was impressed by his eyes."

Liu Yan was shocked when he heard this, gritted his teeth and made up his mind, "In this case, if you can leave, leave one person. Ruohuan, go back to pack up your things, and leave the Liu family with Lord Luo tonight."
