Chapter 664 Rumor

During the few days after Xiao Maodou was born, the Yamen mansion was full of people.

Gifts from all parties piled up like mountains and varied.

Seeing Liu Zhiqiu's eyes glowing, almost drooling, made the whole family angry and funny.

Driven by him, even Liu Yusheng was led crookedly, followed by him and Liu Muqiu three people plunged into the warehouse.

The three of them had a great time playing among the dazzling array of gifts, frequently digging for treasures.

"With so many things, will someone sue elder brother for embezzlement?" Liu Zhiqiu was dumbfounded as he flipped through the gifts.

"Those who gave gold, silver and jade, my brother returned them, and the rest are normal gifts. Just write down the favor and return it in the future." Liu Yusheng laughed.

Liu Muqiu nodded, "If you don't accept any courtesy, then it will look out of place with the surroundings, and the influence on elder brother will be even greater. Being an official also needs to strike a balance in the middle, so that the road can go smoother."

"Hey, Xiao Bailian, I don't see that you understand all this." Liu Yusheng joked.

Liu Muqiu smiled, the way of being an official is actually the same as the way of being a human being.

The difference is only their respective identities.

In any industry, networking is the most important thing. If you want to win connections, there must be gains and losses in the trade-off.

In just a few words of conversation, Liu Zhiqiu has already found a lot of good things there.

No other valuables are needed, only a few pieces of cloth, and some leather and fur that can be used to keep warm in winter.

"These things are good. The elder brother and sister-in-law can't run out of them. Let's share some for them. Otherwise, if no one takes care of these leathers for a long time, they will get worms."

The reason was so high-sounding that the two people next to him laughed together.

When the three of them came out with their things in their arms, they happened to meet Ding Wenxuan, Gu Yiling and four others who came to visit.

Speaking of which, Liu Yusheng and the others haven't seen each other for a long time. Since the last time they met at the county government, Liu Yusheng has returned to Xinghua Village. Ding Wenxuan and the others want to make friends, so it's not easy to go directly to their houses.

After visiting Fu Yuzheng and seeing the children, Liu Yusheng took the four daughters to the pavilion in the backyard to chat and greet Fu Yuzhen because it was not yet full moon and it was not suitable for adults and children to see the wind.

Liu Muqiu also accompanied him.

When listening to Liu Yusheng's introduction, Ding Wenxuan and the others looked at Liu Muqiu together, sizing him up and down, with probing and curiosity evident in their eyes.

Especially Gu Yiling showed the most obvious.

In the end, I couldn't hold back my words, and asked directly, "Miss Mu Qiu, was your name Li Junyue before?"

She was always quick-talking, and it was too late when Ding Wenxuan tried to stop her three times, so she could only hold her forehead and sigh.

Seeing this, Liu Yusheng was slightly surprised, "You two knew each other before?"

"I seem to have never met the four young ladies." Liu Muqiu said. She didn't understand why these four people seemed to know her.

Knowing that he caused a misunderstanding, Gu Yiling quickly waved his hands, "No, we have never met before. I just heard a little about Miss Mu Qiu. A while ago, there was a rumor in the upper circles that it was related to Miss Mu Qiu. Yes. It is said that she used to be called Li Junyue, and later she became the adopted daughter of the Liu family by chance, and even changed her name to Liu Muqiu. When I saw her today, she seemed to be different from the rumors."

Liu Yusheng and Liu Muqiu looked at each other, feeling confident, "It will be passed on behind the scenes, it must not be a good word."

Ding Wenxuan said with a smile, "It's really not a good word, but rumors only stop at the wise. When we met Miss Mu Qiu today, we can feel that she is not the kind of person in the rumors."

"What are the rumors, can you tell me?" Liu Muqiu pursed his lips slightly.

She wasn't worried about her bad reputation, but now that she was a girl from the Liu family, her reputation would also affect the reputation of the Liu family. She didn't want to cause any damage to the Liu family.

The four girls looked at each other, and in the end it was Gu Yiling who was more straightforward, "Let me tell the story. I don't know who spread the rumors. It is said that Miss Mu Qiu is vain and ungrateful. In order to climb the high branch of the Liu family, she unexpectedly He used tricks to feign death in order to leave the family, and for the sake of his own glory and wealth, he even disowned his ancestors. He also said that the Liu family was coaxed into confusion, unable to see the true face of the white-eyed wolf, and eventually regretted it one day. But we From what I saw just now, Miss Mu Qiu's relationship with the Liu family is not what we thought it was. Therefore, seeing is believing."

After listening to Gu Yiling's words, Liu Yusheng laughed, "This shows that you are all wise men, and the rumors will not be passed on to you."

After speaking, he turned to Liu Muqiu, who had a somewhat unsightly expression, "Our family knows what kind of person Mu Qiu is. We live our own lives behind closed doors. My Liu family has never cared about other people's eyes."

Liu Muqiu's slightly drooping eyes flashed with gratitude.

She knew that what Nannan said was not only to comfort her, but also to show the Liu family's position.

They are really maintaining her as a family.

"I can guess who is the person who spread such rumors recently. A month ago, the county magistrate's daughter Kang Ziyu went to my house to make a fuss, trying to mess up Mu Qiu's current life, and later even threw the old lady of the Li family They were taken along with her. It’s just that in the end, her little idea didn’t succeed, and she was arrested by her husband’s family instead, so she has learned the lesson she deserved.”

"It turned out to be her! That's nothing surprising. Kang Ziyu is arrogant, selfish and jealous. I didn't like her from the beginning." Gu Yiling wrinkled her nose, her eyes were full of concern for Kang Zi Yu's disgust.

Guo Luhe also said, "Fortunately, the Ding family divorced her at the beginning, otherwise such a person would marry into the family, I'm afraid the whole family will not live in peace."

Liu Yusheng and Liu Muqiu looked at each other, they both smiled and said nothing.

Ding Wenxuan and the others also wisely stopped this topic, and switched to other topics, turning the page of Kang Ziyu over.

"Miss Liu, the man we bumped into at the door just now is your second brother?" Gu Yiling was more interested in this.

Liu Yusheng nodded, "It's my second brother, his surname is Liu and his name is Zhiqiu."

She introduced it politely, and Liu Muqiu immediately sat up straight and was on guard.

Looking at the eyes of a few people also lost the original kindness.

It made the four daughters look puzzled, not knowing which sentence offended her.

"Miss Mu Qiu, is this...?"

"You can talk about anyone, but don't talk about my second brother. Otherwise, Mu Qiu may regard you as an enemy." Liu Yusheng laughed.

"Oh, so that's how it is." The four girls suddenly realized that their tone was cramped again, making Liu Muqiu blush.

Just as a man's voice sounded from the other end, "Little Bailian, are you done talking? Come here and pick some fabrics."

"Hey, here you come, brother Zhiqiu!" Liu Muqiu responded loudly to the other side, and Liu Muqiu quickly fled from the place of right and wrong.

So as not to be able to bear the ridicule of everyone.

After she left, Ding Wenxuan thought about it and told Liu Yusheng about another matter.
