23. Return of the Master

Meng Heng glanced up at him and said, "You want to ask about Yi Rong?" After that, he hooked his lips and smiled: "Your Excellency already knows about Meng's disguise, and you must have done a lot of investigation on this matter, and it is probably not difficult to find out the truth by means of your identity." ”

Xiao Yu frowned slightly, his eyes deepened a little, and said: "It's one thing to investigate the truth, it's one thing to find out the truth, it's one thing for Dr. Meng's original intention, Xiao wants to hear Dr. Meng's explanation with his own ears." ”

"Explain?" The young man shook his head and smiled, and said, "Yi Rong is to hide people's eyes, why do you need to explain?" If you want to ask why Meng wants to hide people's eyes and ears, and whose eyes and ears are covered, this is not a secretive thing. ”

After speaking, he smiled again, deliberately lowered his voice and said: "I am trying to hide the eyes and ears of a certain high-ranking official in the capital, he announced to the public that his young son died, and I want to take him by surprise and mess with himself." After speaking, his expression was indifferent.

"A certain high-ranking official?" Xiao Yu's eyes flashed slightly, and all kinds of speculations flashed in his heart in a blink of an eye.

A high-ranking official, his young son died...... The young man in front of him is indeed the youngest son Meng Heng who "died" in the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of War!

It's just that the young man's words seem to reveal another hidden truth.

Xiao Yu frowned slightly, he stared at the young man's expression carefully, trying to detect a strange look from that indifferent smile, but he found nothing.

After looking at it, he suddenly remembered the young man's proverb "If you want to make it show, you will be hindered by the fog", and suddenly came back to her senses, and then she muttered for a long time, her expression returned to clarity, and said: "It seems that Dr. Meng has his own unspeakable secrets, and it is inconvenient for Xiao to ask more." It's just that there must be something unusual about that high-ranking official who can be called Doctor Meng and has to hide his ears. ”

The words fell, but another storm was brewing in the eyes of the young man.

"If there is anything unusual or not, it will be difficult for Your Excellency to find out." Meng Heng gently skimmed off a few tea leaves with a tea lid and said with a smile.

The young man became more and more sure of his guess in his heart, he waved his hand to summon a secret guard, bowed his head and whispered a few words with him, his expression was quite strict, as if he was instructing him to investigate something, and nodded and told the secret guard to go away, Fang looked at the young man and said: "Today, there is Dr. Lao Meng who is willing to solve the confusion in his heart in the next place, Xiao is really grateful." ”

Meng Heng couldn't help laughing, glanced at the young man, and quipped: "This is strange, Your Excellency saved my life, and I should do whatever I wanted, but Meng only answered a few questions, but in vain Your Excellency was grateful, Your Excellency is really a strange person." ”

But seeing that the young man only shook his head slightly, there was a slight smile between his handsome eyebrows, and said: "Compared with Doctor Meng, who denounces officialdom and fame and fortune as idle, Xiao is really dwarfed. Xiao was able to meet Dr. Meng by chance in the huge capital, and by chance to help Dr. Meng a little, it was just a passing. Besides," the young man said, with a slight look in his eyes, and said, "I sent someone to investigate Dr. Meng privately, which was rude first, and I hope Dr. Meng will forgive me." ”

"Oh?" Meng Heng raised his eyebrows slightly, and put his rather lazy gaze back on the young man's face for a moment, seeing that his expression was really serious, and there was no weakness or grievance, Fang retracted his gaze and said with a playful smile: "Since it is an apology from His Royal Highness the Prince, Meng accepted it." Thinking about this capital, I am afraid that there will not be a second person who has such an honor to get His Royal Highness the prince's 'forgiveness', Meng is really fortunate in his third life. ”

Having said that, the lazy and leisurely smile on the corner of his mouth has not changed at all, and there is no hint of "honor".

Xiao Yu couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and smile, and asked someone to renew the pot of tea, and the young man tasted the fragrance of tea, chatted with the world, and felt that it was more enjoyable than talking with the Confucian celebrities and the masters and literati.

*

After the last conversation, when Xiao Yu saw the boy again, it had been a few days.

The young man's complexion has improved a lot, his pale cheeks are slightly bloody, and the wounds on his shoulders are gradually healing.

I don't know if the sunset is too dazzling or what, Xiao Yu blinked, and only after a moment did he catch up, and said with a warm smile: "Doctor Meng is leaving?" ”

Meng Heng nodded slightly, and replied: "The injury is no longer serious, and it is really too much to disturb here for a long time, so I have to say goodbye to Your Excellency." Then he chuckled lightly and said, "Isn't it that Your Excellency still has some unsolved puzzles that Meng needs to stay behind to solve them one by one?" ”

"Don't dare, don't dare," Xiao Yu hurriedly shook his head and smiled, and then said half jokingly and half sighing: "Although some doubts are unsolved, it is better to take your time, and it is not appropriate to do it overnight." ”

Yu Yu glanced at the young man deeply, and said: "Since Doctor Meng is determined to leave, it is inconvenient to stay in the future, and I also ask Doctor Meng to take care of his body." ”

Then he called the people on the left and right, and ordered: "Go and get a few pills caught by Imperial Doctor Zhang and send them to Dr. Meng." Then ask Li Yuan to drive the carriage and send Dr. Meng home. ”

Meng Heng raised his eyebrows and said, "Why do you bother so much? Did you forget that Meng is not good, although he only treats his heart, he is also a doctor, why should this injury be a problem? ”

The young man was very persistent, and said with a light smile: "Even if you are a doctor, you still need to ask a doctor to treat you when you are sick, how can you have your own reason for healing?" With that, he asked the maid to hand over a few doses of medicine to Meng Heng in person.

Seeing this, Meng Heng didn't push it anymore, took the medicine, raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Since Your Excellency said so, Meng will accept it." At this point, he paused slightly, and said playfully: "But speaking of which, after a few days of bothering Your Excellency, it is a good tea treatment and a doctor's diagnosis and treatment, and it is also a medicine increase, how can Meng be grateful to Your Excellency?" ”

When Xiao Yu heard this, he couldn't help but laugh and said, "I didn't know that Dr. Meng would also miss this little favor?" It's flattering. The words fell silently, pretending to ponder, and only after a moment did he say: "That being the case, if there are still unsolved puzzles in the future, or if there is something to help Dr. Meng, please ask Dr. Meng to do his part, I will be very grateful." ”

After speaking, he looked at the young man with a smile, and there was a faint expectation in his eyes.

Meng Heng glanced at him, but instead of agreeing as the young man expected, he raised the corners of his lips, provoked a smile, and said, "Why not?" Meng Mou has always taken people's money and done things for others, as long as your Excellency can afford the money, and the things entrusted to him are in line with Meng's wishes, then it is easy to say. After speaking, he squinted his eyes leisurely, looking quite natural.

The young man couldn't help laughing loudly, and said in his heart that this is the true appearance of the young man, only talking about silver, not human feelings. After laughing, Fang arched his hand and said: "Since Doctor Meng said this, he must keep it in mind in the future, and when he looks at it, he takes the silver and asks Doctor Meng to help, and Doctor Meng should not turn him away." ”

"Where, where." Meng Heng also learned from the other party's appearance, arched his hand in a crepe manner, casually humbly teased a few words, and then stopped staying, went out with the young man's servants, boarded the carriage and left.

Xiao Yu stood outside the door for a long time, watching the carriage disappear around the corner before he indifferently withdrew his gaze and turned away.

***

said that as soon as Meng Heng stepped into the door of Cuiwei Forest Garden, he was almost knocked down by the anxious Luo Yun.

Meng Heng hurriedly dodged away, stretched out his hand to catch Luo Yun, frowned, and said, "Why are you so impatient?" ”

Luo Yun, who was being supported, was stunned for a long time, his eyes wandered back and forth on the young man's face for a long time, and then he said dryly: "You, you...... Are you Mr. Meng? ”

Meng Heng raised his eyebrows, and then remembered that he had forgotten to change his appearance when he came out of the man's mansion, but it was not a big deal, so he glanced at Luo Yun approvingly, let go of his hand and said: "Yes, knowing people and hearts, and not being fascinated by appearance, do have the endowment to learn hypnosis." ”

Hearing this, Luo Yun's eyes widened and he retreated a little, and he was even more surprised to open his mouth, unable to speak, and said in disbelief for a while: "How, how is it possible...... Your face ...... "How did you become so good-looking, but the second half of the sentence was stunned for a long time and didn't say it."

Meng Heng shrugged his eyebrows, he didn't plan to explain more about the disguise, so he lowered his voice slightly and said slowly: "Don't panic, stay calm in case of trouble, so that you can distinguish the truth from the false." ”

Such a low and warm voice was like a side breeze, wafting into Luo Yun's heart, and the words did not disappear for a moment, and the twelve-year-old boy really regained his calm slightly.

Meng Heng only opened his mouth at this time and asked, "When I was not there, how many people came to the door to ask to see?" Did Shuncheonfu send someone here? He said as he took a step inside.

Luo Yun came back to his senses and hurriedly followed, only then did he remember a bunch of things that he had been anxious about for so many days, and hurriedly said: "On the day that Mr. left the house, dozens of guests came to visit, half of them handed over the name post, I placed them in Mr. 's room and did not dare to move without permission, and the other half saw that Mr. was not there, so I went home. As for the Shuntian Mansion......" Halfway through the words, he secretly glanced at Meng Heng, caught a glimpse of the young man's handsome and extraordinary side face, his heart pounded, and he hurriedly looked away, and said in a slurred voice: "Lord Chen Ping Chen of Shuntian Mansion, he ...... He said that if Mr. did not come back, he would not be able to do it, so he would squat at the door of Mr. every day and not go anywhere. ”

Meng Heng sneered and sneered: "If he wants to come, just come." Then he shook his head and continued, "Go and bring all those names and report them to me one by one according to the priority of the matter." ”

But he saw that Luo Yun only stayed in place, grinding his feet without moving, he didn't dare to raise his head, and his eyes were a little evasive.

Meng Heng narrowed his eyes: "What?" What else has not been reported? ”

Luo Yun was stunned, he didn't know what to do, he was honest and afraid of being punished by his husband, so he raised his head at a loss and fell into the young man's calm gaze, but somehow he suddenly put his heart down.

As long as there is this person in front of you, it doesn't matter how big the problem is.

He calmed down and replied solemnly: "I know that the dozen or so brothers and sisters who follow Mr. in and out on weekdays are not very human, and I also know that Mr. has always handed over the matter of making capsules to them, but ...... Since Mr. left the house, there are countless people who come to ask for capsules every day, but Luo Yun is incompetent, and he can't control his brothers and sisters, and he asks Mr. to punish him. ”

At this point, I was a little depressed.

Meng Heng already knew it in his heart, so he didn't care, he nodded and comforted the young man slightly: "It's okay, you have done a good job." Then he lifted up his feet and continued his way to the inner court.

But now he put the name aside, walked straight to the backyard first, and stood with his hands in his hands.

At that time, there was a cool autumn breeze blowing, Meng Heng hooked his lips and smiled, and said loudly: "You haven't seen you for many days, but you haven't left Meng Mou, Meng Mou is really grateful." ”

As soon as the words fell, I saw a longitudinal fallen leaf rising with the wind, fluttering and swaying, and after a while, the wind was quiet and the leaves stopped, and more than a dozen people appeared in the clearing, it was those stubborn and lazy goblins.

The goblins all looked disappointed, and after looking at each other, the shrewd and ingenious banshee came up and said with a shy face: "Yo, Meng Heng, you're back." Where have you been these days? None of us ......."

"Didn't you even think I'd come back?" Meng Heng raised his eyebrows and smiled meaningfully: "Or are you going to stay up for a few more days, and if I don't come back, you will just leave and go freely?" ”

"This ......" thought about it as soon as it was said, the goblins choked for a while, and they didn't know how to deal with it, among which No. 003, No. 006, and No. 009 regretted it even more, and they were annoyed that the danger was imminent at that time, but they threw Meng Heng down and ran away by themselves.

But there was only a pointy-eared demon with the appearance of a teenager, not similar to other goblins, only tilting his head sideways, as if he still snorted coldly.

Meng Heng noticed him, and remembered that this was the No. 013 tanuki who had stolen and killed someone before and was discovered by himself and squatted for two hours, so he provoked a smile and paced over slowly: "What? Number 013: What are your different opinions? ”

The tanuki boy glanced at him, glanced him up and down, and then said sneeringly: "It's just a human being, what's so scary?" I'm not like them who are cowardly, they only think about escaping, I just wait for you to come back, I will confront you head-on, teach you a lesson, and make sure you know how powerful our demons are! ”

"Yes, ambitious." Meng Heng listened to his words patiently, nodded thoughtfully, and his smile expanded even more. He took a few steps back, his gaze swept to the rest of the goblins who were either silent or gloating, and then landed on the tanuki, and opened his lips and said softly: "Since you have this ambition, of course I don't mind cooperating with you, and now that I am standing here, it is up to you how you want to fight." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a trace of ruthlessness in the eyes of the tanuki boy, and he rushed to Meng Heng in a flash, and he was about to bite Meng Heng's neck with his teeth open.

Meng Heng was prepared.

This demon is overly angry, and his feelings are obvious, and his every move is unabashedly exposed, and it is very easy to be controlled.

He stepped back and looked up at the tanuki, a faint smile on his lips.

"Stop."

Just these two simple words, just a pair of eyes, the tanuki boy lost his arrogance.

"For people like you who are always willing to be everyone's negative teaching materials, Meng also really admires him." Meng Heng looked at the tanuki demon whose consciousness was taken away by him, and narrowed his eyes happily: "In line with the principle of giving full play to the exemplary role of role models, let me think about what to tell you to do?" ”

His gaze lightly swept over the No. 003 rabbit spirit on the side, and asked with a smile, "What do you say?" ”

The rabbit spirit shuddered, shook his head and said nothing.

Meng Heng smiled: "Since you don't have anything good to mention, then I'll make my own decisions." No. 013, you have to make all the medicinal materials and ground glutinous rice noodles that you need to buy for these days. Remember, you are not allowed to use psychic spells, you have to do it all yourself. And as for you," he said, glancing at the rest of the elves, "don't think about idleness, 5,000 squats per person, not one less." ”

With that, he smiled and turned away.

*

After warning these stubborn goblins, Meng Heng went back to the room to change his clothes and rest, remade the disguised herbs and smeared them on his face, and then glanced at the stacks of famous notes placed on several cases pressed with a paperweight, and saw that it didn't matter, most of them invited him to go to the house to talk about it, or to ask for medicine, so he put it aside for the time being, asked Luo Yun to get into the carriage, and went all the way to Shuntian Mansion.

Lord Fu Yin was quite surprised to see Meng Heng, and there was no blame between his words, but he said again and again, "Doctor Meng is not just saying goodbye", and then told him to come to the yamen tomorrow, and there are several unsolved cases that he still needs to help deal with.

But as soon as he left the gate of the mansion, before he could sit firmly in the carriage, he heard a familiar noise outside, and then the curtain of the car was lifted and a person's face was poked in.

The fruit is Chen Ping. I saw him look surprised and happy, and unceremoniously jumped in and sat against Meng Heng, half complaining and half happy: "My subordinates reported that it was Cuiwei Linyuan's carriage parked outside the mansion, I still don't believe it, I didn't expect it to be you!" Brother Meng, you've been hurting me these days! When Lord Fu Yin heard that you hadn't returned for many days and didn't know where you were going, he told me to search the whole capital quickly, but I didn't find half a shadow of you! Honestly, where the hell have you been? ”

Meng Heng glanced at him, ignoring his babbling, only asking Luo Yun to hit the road on his own horse, and then leaned there and closed his eyes to recuperate.

But seeing that Chen Ping was still entangled unrelentingly, he was a little impatient in his heart, so he straightened up and opened his eyes, looking at the past with a pair of eyes, and his expression was quite strict.

Chen Ping breathed a sigh of relief, staring at his brows and saying nothing, just waiting for the young man's answer.

I saw the young man's thin lips lightly opened, his eyes were distant, and he muttered for a long time and said: "Brother Chen Ping, the whereabouts of the younger brother in the past few days are a secret matter, and you must not talk lightly, but since I see that Brother Chen Ping is related to me, it is okay to sue you, but I only implore my brother not to reveal it." ”

When Meng Heng said this, he paused slightly, and then deliberately lowered his voice, and said: "In the past few days, the younger brother has found a hidden secret realm, retreated and practiced, and penetrated the heavens, so he should not be disturbed by the mundane affairs of the outside world, so he erased the traces, making it difficult for people to find. ”

After finishing the words, he told him matter-of-factly: "Brother Chen Ping, remember that you must not let a third party know about this matter." ”

After saying that, he leaned there again, his hands around his chest and admired the other party's stunned face for a long time.

But seeing that the other party was completely stunned, a pair of eyes looked Meng Heng up and down, and there was a faint sense of surprise in his expression, and there was such unbelief, and in the end, all of them turned into such worship.

The face is changing, and it is very good-looking.

Meng Heng squinted, didn't care about him anymore, bent down and lifted the curtain, and asked his men waiting outside the carriage to pull people away, and asked Luo Yun to drive the carriage and laugh.

Chen Ping didn't realize it, and got out of the carriage by his subordinates, but he was still in place for a long time looking at the back of the carriage in a daze.

***

"This lord, you see, this Suzaku Street is the best place to open a shop, opposite is this Xiangju, people come and go lively, next to the next slip of shop pΓΉ that is a hundred years old, a long-term shop, just a person to come, don't you have to take a look at your shop?" The middle-aged man said with a smile on his face as he led Meng Heng to look around.

Meng Heng followed his guidance, and saw that there were shops gathered nearby, and there were both restaurants and inns and medical halls next to it, so it was indeed a good choice to open a pharmacy here.

After thinking about it for a while, he nodded and said, "This place is really good, but I don't know how much the rent is?" And can the decorations in the pΓΉ of the store be complete? ”

"Complete, complete." The middle-aged man nodded hurriedly, he took a few steps forward, pointed to a shop with an empty plaque and a locked door, and said, "Master, you can follow me in and have a look." ”

As he spoke, he took out a key to open the door, and half-bent down at the door to wait for Meng Heng to enter.

The inside is really clean and bright, with counter chairs in the front hall and a spacious backyard connected to the back door, with sprinkler cleaning, graphite workshop, and manger well.

Meng Heng nodded with satisfaction.

The middle-aged man looked at Meng Heng's face, saw that he seemed to be satisfied, and was overjoyed, and took the opportunity to say: "Master, if you open this shop, you don't need to prepare anything, just recruit a few guys and bring your medicinal materials in." At the end, he asked with a sneer, "I heard that the master is going to open a medicine hall, right?" ”

Meng Heng glanced at him, replied with a slight "um", and didn't say more.

Now the number of people who come to him to ask for capsules is increasing day by day, he has nothing to do, and he has studied several kinds of medicinal materials, made some different kinds of medicines that can refresh the mind or relieve fatigue and help sleep, always stay at home and wait for people to line up to come to the door, one is time-consuming and laborious, and the other is a little passive, it is much easier to open a pharmacy in this prosperous area of Beijing.

Seeing this, the middle-aged man smiled and continued: "If you open a pharmacy, I won't charge much for the rent, and I will only have a price code with the medical hall and pharmacy in the vicinity." As he spoke, he quoted a price, and then looked at the boy earnestly.

Meng Heng raised his eyebrows. The asking price is not high, but looking at the middle-aged man's expression, it can also be seen that he must have falsely reported one or two percent.

Meng Heng hooked his lips and smiled indifferently, asked Luo Yun behind him to hand over the silver taels, and explained a few polite words to the middle-aged man, and then officially ordered the shop.

After the middle-aged man left satisfied, he paced leisurely to the Taishi chair in the room and sat down, and made a gesture to call the three goblins of No. 013, who had been hidden in front of people, to come out.

He looked at the face of the No. 013 tanuki boy who was always bitter and unwilling to express his hatred, raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Don't be a stake, how to explain to you, I will do it one by one." ”

As soon as his voice fell, he saw that these few aliens who had just been quite strange turned around one after another, and in the blink of an eye, they changed like ordinary people.

*

The pharmacy opened three days later.

Previously, the news that "Dr. Meng wants to open a shop to sell capsules" has spread far before the opening of the pharmacy, and the plaque of the new store has just been put up on this day, and when the lights are colorful, many people have come to congratulate, and it is very lively for a while.

First of all, because of the friendship between Meng Heng and Lord Fu Yin, Lord Chen, Master Sun, etc., who came together to express their standing in line, came to the young man to make a familiar face.

And then the Lord Zhao, Lord Wang, etc., who came to congratulate Meng Heng because he had been out of the clinic and missed this favor, each of them also prepared a congratulatory gift with his entourage.

There are also those who have admired Meng Heng's name for a long time, but for various reasons they have always been unranked, and they have not yet seen Meng Heng's real face, Master Li, Master Gao, etc., can seize the opportunity to see the true face of the young man.

What's more, because Meng Heng has been away from home for many days and the capsules are no longer on sale, Lord Qian, Lord Fang, etc., who have been waiting impatiently, as soon as they heard that Dr. Meng opened a pharmacy specializing in selling capsules, they couldn't wait to ask the chief to prepare a pile of silver tickets, and rushed to the store in front to seize the lead.

Therefore, this is not a big pharmacy for a while, but it is full of distinguished customers and friends.

When Chen Ping, the criminal prison director of Shuntian Mansion, came to congratulate Lord Yin, he saw such a scene.

The young man with a long body and a jade body was surrounded by the stars of the "court order-official", and the people who came to congratulate him around him were all smiling with a courteous and polite smile, but the young man's face only hung a faint smile, neither humble nor arrogant, not frightened, like a piece of jade, although not dazzling, but also exuding a warm and incomparably warm glow.

Meng Heng's gaze gently swept over the crowd, and said with a smile: "Thanks to the care of all the adults, the capsules sold in our store today are all sold at a discount of seventy percent, which can be regarded as Meng's gratitude to everyone who came to cheer." ”

When everyone heard this, their eyes lit up, their faces were happy, and they praised Dr. Meng, who was a "young talent" and "a celebrity in front of Lord Fu Yin", and hurriedly asked the people around him to take out the silver taels and buy capsules, for fear that they would not be able to grab it if they were a little slower.

Meng Heng narrowed his eyes slightly, he withdrew from the crowd center, and handed over all the work of taking medicine and collecting money to the young shopkeeper who was served by the raccoon demon boy No. 013, and he was half happy and half lazy to withdraw and recline on the Taishi chair, sipping a cup of tea leisurely.

But seeing that the tall man of the household department quickly bought hundreds of capsules and packed them, he slowly moved to Meng Heng, smiling as if he had something to say.

Meng Heng raised his eyes to look at him, and also pulled the corners of his mouth slightly, and asked the No. 003 rabbit spirit dressed by the guy to add a good tea to the guests, and said, "Lord Gao, but you have something to say?" ”

Master Gao took a sip of the teacup, and then said with a smile: "Sure enough, I can't hide Dr. Meng's discerning eyes." Then I'll get straight to the point. Since the last time Dr. Meng came to the cold house for a visit, my father's confusion has been much better, but although the illness has been cured, my father still often talks about Dr. Meng's outstanding character, and he also misses the feeling of comfort after talking with Dr. Meng, so he ...... Speaking of this, Master Gao smiled, put down the teacup, leaned over slightly and said: "The official thought, if Dr. Meng is free on weekdays, can he go to the cold house more often and talk to his father?" ”

But seeing that his words did not fall, another lord with a jade crown came over and sat opposite Meng Heng, and said: "What Lord Gao said is yes, but Lord Gao is still fortunate to have Dr. Meng personally visit the house, but this official is not so blessed." He said a little sourly: "This official has sent someone to Dr. Meng's mansion to deliver the name post many times, but he has not been able to rank the number, and I don't know if Dr. Meng looks down on this official?" Can you enjoy your face once and in person at the official mansion? ”

Meng Heng glanced at the two of them, picked up the teacup and took a sip slowly, only after a while did he provoke a smile, and said, "Since the two adults spoke in person, how could Meng have a reason to push?" It's just ......" He was halfway through his words, but he paused again, his eyebrows frowned slightly, as if he was embarrassed.

"It's just that the location of the humble house is remote, and every time you come to Beijing, it takes a lot of trouble, and Meng rarely goes to the mansions of the adults in person in the past, and this is why it is all for this reason. So...... Meng was really guilty. Meng Heng stopped at this point, and only bowed his head slightly to apologize.

"Oh, I see." After listening to Meng Heng's explanation, the two immediately nodded with deep understanding, and it was not good to be reluctant. However, after carefully tasting the young man's words, another thought came to his mind, and he had an idea, regretted putting it for the time being, and became confident.

Just listen to the high man: "Doctor Meng doesn't need to be like this, this official has not only accepted Dr. Meng's love before, but also has a deep personal relationship with Lord Fu Yin, for the sake of Lord Fu Yin's face, he will never blame Dr. Meng." Moreover, since the official knows that Dr. Meng has this difficulty, he will definitely think of ways to relieve Dr. Meng's worries. ”

Meng Heng hurriedly arched his hand and said, "Don't dare, don't dare", but a slight smile appeared on his lips.

At that time, it was getting late, and the guests who came to either sincerely congratulate or pretend to greet or follow the trend left one after another, and Meng Heng also greeted them with a little politeness and sent them off one by one.

However, the news about Dr. Meng's remote accommodation and inconvenient transportation quietly spread.

However, in the middle of the day, Meng Heng was invited to a very convenient place in the capital to see the house.

It's still a thread drawn by the people in the house, but when the short man who sold him Cuiwei Forest Garden that day saw the unknown young man at that time, he was very impressed and regretted his mistakes.

"Hey, Master Meng, I knew that you had a relationship with Master Gao and Master Li, and the little one wouldn't sell the house on the outskirts of Beijing to you." Saying that, he sighed in annoyance, and said with a smile: "It's all to blame for my little snobbishness, snobbishness!" ”

Meng Heng glanced at him lightly and said with a light smile: "It's okay, there are difficulties in doing business." Take me to the house. ”

The short man replied cheerfully, and led Meng Heng straight to the place with the most convenient transportation, and the land boundary was neither too prosperous nor deserted.

Because it is located in the center of the capital, this house is slightly smaller than Cuiwei Forest Garden, but it is very elegant, and it is adjacent to the homes of powerful and noble families, which is very suitable for the needs of Meng Heng's high-end customers.

On top of that, he is really lazy to drive long distances to and from the capital every day, and if he has this house now, he can save a lot of time.

Meng Heng didn't hesitate any longer, and directly took out the silver ticket and handed it over to the short man according to the number, but saw that the short man pushed it again and again: "No, no, there is no need for so much, Meng Xiaoye is a celebrity in front of several adults, how can the small one charge Meng Xiaoye such a high price?" Half is fine, half is fine. As he spoke, he grinned and took only half of the stack of silver tickets, folded them up and put them in his sleeve.

Meng Heng raised his eyebrows, he knew best about the psychology of this kind of trader, but he was not interested in delving into it, anyway, money always had to be spent, he was happy to enjoy the process of making money through guΓ² hypnosis, but he was not too attached to the silver tael itself.

As for the rectification of this house, Meng Heng didn't have to worry about it this time.

He had just handed over the title deed and other matters with the short man on the front foot, and on the back foot, he saw Luo Yun happily come to report that there were several carriages waiting at the door, all of which said that they were special gifts to congratulate Meng Heng on moving to a new house.

Meng Heng only glanced at him lightly, took the list of bride price from Luo Yun's hand, and looked at it slightly.

Most of them are antique jade, famous calligraphy and painting used for decoration, and there are also rare and exotic grasses, strange rockeries and the like.

The people who give gifts are mostly seen in some low-ranking officials who are used to having dealings with Lord Yin, and there are occasional customers who have come to visit their homes.

He thought about it for a while, and only asked Luo Yun to symbolically accept some not very expensive things, and asked him to return the salute one by one.

He has been involved too deeply in officialdom, especially because most of the people who are rushing to him at the moment are so respectful because of the friendship between Lord Fu Yin and himself, which he knows very well.

But it doesn't matter, as long as he has a foothold in this capital, his connections are just a stepping stone.
