Chapter 198: Writing a Letter (Part 1)
The lights were on in both the main landlord's house and the east wing, and it seemed that they hadn't slept yet.
Tong Hongying and Mei Shengjie hadn't slept yet, they were waiting for her in the east room, when they heard footsteps, Mei Shengjie ran out of the house, Chunlan followed him steadily, saw Mei Yixuan come in, and hurriedly gave a salute: "The slave has seen the eldest son!"
Mei Yixuan agreed, grabbed his younger brother who rushed over, touched his head lovingly, and asked, "Why don't you sleep so late?"
"Sister, you haven't come back yet, how can I sleep?" Mei Shengjie took Mei Yixuan's hand and said with a smile.
Mei Yixuan funnily flicked on his head and said, "Okay, I'm back now, go back to sleep." As he spoke, he pulled him and walked towards the east house, just when he met Tong Hongying, who was worried about coming out to check.
"Are you better?" Tong Hongying knew that her daughter had brought back her grandparents and grandchildren when she was eating, especially the old man was carried back in a coma, and her daughter went to the courtyard on the right after eating, so she asked.
"It's okay, I guess I'll be able to wake up tomorrow. Mei Yixuan took Mei Shengjie to the house, answered his mother's words as he walked, and briefly told Old Man Yang about the situation. Looking at her mother's increasingly healthy and plump body, tender skin, and elegant and dignified demeanor after washing under the light, Mei Yixuan felt very gratified.
It seems that the mother has come out of the shadow of her father, otherwise she would not have such a good mental state and complexion. It is said that women are the ones who please themselves, but sometimes they will pay attention to their appearance for the sake of their children and themselves.
"Mother, you and Xiaojie should go to bed early, I still have some things, and I will go to bed after I finish dealing with them. Mei Yixuan sent his mother and younger brother back to the house, touched Mei Shengjie's head, and said.
"Hey, don't be too late, watch your body. Tong Hongying responded with a smile, but her eyes were a little moist, and her heart was throbbing.
The daughter showed up at a young age, gave up her original noble status for herself and her son, paid an unimaginable price, and had to manage the livelihood of a large family when she arrived at the destination. And he can't help anything, and he will drag his daughter back from time to time. This feeling of incompetence made her feel more and more sorry for her daughter, disgusted with herself, and felt that she was really not a competent mother, her son and son could not protect her, and her daughter and daughter could only rely on herself, so she blamed herself in her heart.
Mei Yixuan noticed her mother's mood fluctuations, and knew what her mother was thinking, so she stepped forward affectionately and hugged her mother's soft body, and said softly: "Mother, Xuan'er is happy, Xuan'er has already stayed in the house enough, Xuan'er is willing to be so busy." How good it is now, we can do whatever we want, we have the final say, Xuan'er just begs her mother and brother to be well, rest assured, our family will have a good life. ”
Mei Shengjie also realized that something was wrong with his mother, and he also hugged his mother's arm on the side, and said: "Sister is right, mother, Jie'er will also fight for anger, and let her mother live a good life." ”
Tong Hongying wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes without a trace, and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, my son is good, but my mother only hopes that you are healthy and safe, and it is enough for our family to be together forever." ”
Mei Yixuan and Mei Shengjie naturally agreed again and again, and seeing that Tong Hongying's mood had recovered, the sisters and brothers breathed a sigh of relief.
Feifeng took advantage of the gap between Mei Yixuan's family and the conversation, hurriedly lit two candles, placed them on both sides of the bookcase in the living room, prepared the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and put them on the bookcase.
Mei Yixuan appeased Tong Hongying and Mei Shengjie, and told Chunlan to be vigilant at night, so she returned to the hall and began to write letters.
On the north side of the hall are two Taishi chairs, on the east and west sides against the wall is a rose chair, and in the middle is a rectangular bookcase, which can be used as both a dining table and a desk. Mei Yixuan pulled a chair, leaned down on the bookcase and began to write.
Today, when I went to the island to check, the traffic was inconvenient on the one hand, mainly because after hearing that there were Japanese people coming and going near the nameless island, Mei Yixuan decisively chose to give up, she didn't dare to risk settling her family on the island.
As the saying goes, the small is hidden in the wild, the middle is hidden in the city, and the big is hidden in the court. The big hidden can't, the middle hidden can still be done. Although the island is isolated from the sea, as long as it is inhabited, it will be discovered sooner or later. If you really manage the island well and attract the attention of people with ulterior motives, you will have nowhere to run then, and the traffic will be too inconvenient!
The main reason is that the development of the island takes time, and with the people she brought, it will not be built in a short time, and outsiders can only be hired, and it is impossible not to leak the news. As long as it is leaked out, it will go against his original intention of hiding his whereabouts, and his party will soon be exposed.
That's why she decided to give up settling on the island.
However, the geographical location of Nameless Island allows for the garrison of troops, on the one hand, to prevent the Japanese from sneaking in, and on the other hand, to provide safety for coastal fishermen. That's why she wrote to her uncle.
However, she not only wrote a letter to her uncle, but also to Murong Hong, and the two letters probably meant the same thing, mainly describing the importance of the geographical location of the island and the situation on the island. It's just that the last person in the two letters is different, and the words are different. The former is about the care of the loved ones, and the latter is about the lovers
After Mei Yixuan finished writing the letter, she went to the courtyard on the right with two letters.
Feiming seemed to know that Mei Yixuan had written a letter, and he had been waiting in the courtyard with Xue Bajin for a long time.
Mei Yixuan thought of the flying geese on the roof, so it was not surprising that Feiming would know. She didn't talk nonsense, she just whispered to ask people to send the letter to Murong Hong, and by the way, asked him if it was going well.
To be honest, Mei Yixuan was quite worried about Murong Hong in his heart.
Although Jiaozhou is his fiefdom and has more than a dozen counties under its jurisdiction, theoretically those subordinate officials in the fiefdom should listen to him. However, only half of the income from the taxes on the fiefdom went to Murong Hong, and the other half went to the imperial court. And those subordinate officials were appointed by the imperial court, so they naturally obeyed the emperor's orders, and it was not so easy for Murong Hong to make people follow him with all his heart.
Besides, who dares to guarantee that there are no other people's spies among the subordinate officials? I hope that I am worried about the sky, and I believe that with his experience in the palace for so many years and the struggle of wits and courage in the palace, he can quickly control the fiefdom in his own hands.
Although Mei Yixuan was a little worried, he didn't show it on the surface, handed the letter to Feiming, and solemnly explained: "Give this letter to your master as soon as possible, by the way······· Ask him how it went?"
"Yes! The slave immediately sent someone to set off immediately and hand over the letter to the master as soon as possible!" Feiming happily gave a military salute and turned around to make arrangements.
