Chapter 163: Cousin's Peach Blossom
Someone in the crowd shouted, "Zixuan!" βγ Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ infoA man in his thirties greeted Mei Zixuan warmly and strode over.
Jiang Li heard Mei Zixuan shout: "Lord Jade." It turned out to be someone from the government, and I couldn't help but look at it twice.
The man has a wide forehead and a square face, a loud voice, a green silk round neck, and a jade belt around his waist, and he listened to Mei Zixuan's greeting and sighed slightly: "Zixuan, this is outside, I call you by your name, but you call me an adult, is this a deliberate attempt to alienate me?" β
Mei Zixuan hurriedly said no, and changed his name to him: "Brother Qingyuan, why did you come here when you didn't go to the yamen today?" β
When the visitor heard the sound of "Brother Qingyuan", he turned his anger into joy, walked over and put one hand on Mei Zixuan's shoulder, and said, "I am resting today, and I just brought my wife and my little sister here to pick up some brocade to make clothes." The last time you sent my little sister back, my little sister also said that she wanted to thank you in person, and it happened to be here. β
Mei Zixuan's expression was a little embarrassed, "The jade girl is too politeγ»γ»γ»γ»γ»"
The man's eyes kept circling around Jiang Li when he saw Mei Zixuan talking, which provoked him to look at Jiang Li, only to see Jiang Li wearing a light pink Luo skirt with half of the side.
"You also brought Sister Ling here today?" Yu Qingyuan's eyes were sharp, and his inquiring eyes swept over the girl and then looked at Mei Zixuan.
Jiang Li nodded at the man when he heard this, and said hello. Listening to the man's meaning, there is also a story between the cousin and the girl surnamed Yu? She looked behind the man, curious to see what the jade girl looked like.
Yu Qingyuan looked back, and the garden was gradually becoming scarce, but he didn't see the shadows of his wife and sister, "I was still there just now, and after such a while, the two of them didn't know where to go." Xu took a fork in the road for a while and went to another garden. He was in a hurry.
Mei Zixuan seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, Jiang Li was looking at the brocade in front, and the two were gossiping in the back, not far away.
"The government's seizure of the ship has missed a lot of your family's business." Yu Qingyuan said.
"Brother Qingyuan is the secretary of the court, all the official documents that come and go have been passed through your hands, do you think our Mei family's ship has been detained for too long this time?" Mei Zixuan took the opportunity to ask.
Yu Qingyuan put his hands behind his back, and Mei Zixuan said in a heartfelt tone: "This time the court also recognized the truth." Those officials who resell the evidence will be sent to Beijing to be strictly dealt with if they are caught. Because Qingfeng Village is involved, although there is no evidence, since someone reported it, the government has to be very cautious, so it will definitely drag on for a long time. β
After speaking, I couldn't help but cry out for the Mei family: "But if you want to say that the Mei family has something to do with Qingfeng Village, we local officials don't believe it, with the Mei family's good reputation over the years, and your father is such a bright and upright character, how can it be convenient for Qingfeng Village to buy weapons?" β
Mei Zixuan said continuously.
Yu Qingyuan said: "However, the new Imperial Envoy Xingtai must catch some things that catch the wind and shadows, not to say that he wants to find out the evidence of Qingfeng Village's purchase and sale of weapons, so that you will be sealed and detained." In my opinion, it is the imperial envoy's meritorious service, and your Mei family also happened to be in the limelight, which can be regarded as unlucky. β
Jiang Li listened to two sentences from time to time, and then couldn't help but interject: "If it is found out that it is not the contraband bought by Qingfeng Village, will the Mei family's fine be reduced?" β
"It's one thing to be fined, it's one thing to have a case. No matter who bought those contraband, they all bought them from the Mei family's commercial building, and fines were inevitable. If you want to reduce the fine," Yu Qingyuan raised his eyebrows, "Unless the Mei family can provide useful clues to find out who bought those citations, for the sake of providing clues, the fine may be reduced." β
Speaking of this, he looked at Mei Zixuan vigilantly, "The account books have been searched, and the Mei family has other clues?" β
Mei Zixuan glanced at Jiang Li, shook her head and said, "No." My sister just said it casually. β
"Oh, that's a pity." Tamashi didn't doubt it. Suddenly raised his voice and said, "They're here!" As he spoke, he walked away a few steps and beckoned to the people on the other side of the garden: "Here it is!" β
Jiang Li looked up from a pile of brocades, only to see a few women turning around at the other end of the garden, two girls and two mothers-in-law following behind, the two women in front were older in their thirties, wearing a red silk robe, with a round face and a dignified expression.
The younger ones are about seventeen or eighteen years old, dressed in fragrant crepe, delicate and delicate facial features, with a slender posture, and they look at it while walking unhurriedly. When he saw someone standing here, his footsteps were windy, pulling the woman in red beside him, walking briskly and shouting from afar: "Zixuan Gongzi!" β
Standing still, the woman's face turned red, and she looked at Mei Zixuan with a smile.
Yu Qingyuan pointed at Jiang Li and introduced, "This is Mei Gongzi's sister." β
The woman smiled at Jiang Li, "Miss Mei is good." My name is Yumei Qing. That smile, red lips and white teeth, beautiful and charming.
Jiang Li stepped forward to introduce himself, and looked at Mei Qing's expression obviously stunned.
The woman in red is Madame Jade. She smiled and watched the two greet each other, and after greeting Jiang Li, she asked Jiang Li to pick up brocade for them. The three women got together and talked about the tapestry and stepped aside.
Jiang Li mainly looks at the pattern weaving, Mrs. Yu chooses the background color, Yumei Qing doesn't pick it, she doesn't like anything, and she looks preoccupied. In the end, Jiang Li helped her pick onions, white and jade. After choosing the clothes, Mrs. Yu wanted to leave, and Mei Zixuan said goodbye to Yu Qingyuan.
Mrs. Yu pulled Jiang Li and walked a few steps, looked at the sister-in-law from time to time, and said, "Didn't you want to thank Fourth Master Mei in person when you came, I will talk to Miss Jiang here for a while, and you go over to say a few words of thanks to Master Mei." β
Mrs. Yu watched her sister-in-law walk over, turned around and smiled at Jiang Li and said, "My sister-in-law is a little special to Mei Gongzi, but I don't know if it's a bad thing or a good thing." β
"What's the special method?" Jiang Li asked with a smile.
"Mei Gongzi saved her before, she went home and told us that she was interesting to Mei Gongzi, no, she was about to ask her brother to ask Mei Fourth Gongzi in person in the past two days," Mrs. Yu smiled, blinking and asking Jiang Li, "Just according to you, can my sister be worthy of Mei Gongzi?" β
Jiang Li had something to say: "It's not good to say whether it is worthy or not, as long as the two of them have a heart for each other." Actually, I look at Ling Mei quite likable, she can afford to look down on my cousin, that is my cousin's blessing. β
Mrs. Yu blinked: "Then I take the liberty of asking, γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ» Miss Jiang and Mei Gongzi"
"Don't worry, we're just cousins." Jiang Li smiled, "No wonder I was unhappy to see her just now." I'm just staying at Mei's house temporarily, and I'll be leaving soon, so I think Sister Ling must have misunderstood. β
Mrs. Yu's bright-eyed person looked at Jiang Li's eyes as if she was lying, nodded and smiled: "That's good." β
