Xiao Yu entrusted nothing else, that is, to ask Meng Heng to pay careful attention to whether there are any people among the courtiers who behave strangely, are confused and even demonic, for this, ordinary people can't see it, and only Doctor Meng, who can see people's hearts and distinguish demons, can do it.

In this regard, Meng Heng said that out of technology monopoly, he wants to charge a high price.

The technical operation charges 1,000 taels a day, and the operation is 30,000 taels for a month, and if the other party contracts for three months, it is discounted to 88,000 taels.

Dojili figures.

Of course, if any result is found, an additional commission of 5,000 taels will be charged for each place found.

Seeing that the other party agreed so readily, Meng Heng was a little hesitant to send his subordinates 001 and 002 to sneak into the courtiers' homes to do a childcare first, and then wait for him to catch them all and get the commission directly.

Eventually, however, for the sake of some business reputation, the idea was abandoned.

But the young man didn't seem to have the slightest consciousness of being wronged, he seemed to have been prepared, and ordered Li Qing to directly give ten silver tickets of 10,000 taels of silver as a deposit, and then smiled indifferently without changing his color: "The matter is handed over to Dr. Meng, and there will be no worries at all." ”

Meng Heng took the silver ticket expressionlessly, only swept his eyes, and then put it into the wooden box on the side of the case at will, without even covering it, so he glanced at him and said coolly: "There are still worries, Your Excellency is so generous, you are not afraid that I will pretend to agree, turn around and abscond with the money, run to a remote place incognito, and go freely?" ”

At the end, he added another sentence, deliberately squinted and smiled: "After all, this is 100,000 taels of silver, which is worth dozens of times the food and clothing of ordinary people. ”

When Xiao Yu heard this, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and laugh again.

The young man is always like this, he is obviously indifferent, but he always looks like he loves money, but if he really accepts the silver, he seems to not care much about the silver, and he always puts it on hold, but he looks the same as the person who regards money as his life.

It's the same with people, neither humble nor arrogant, pampered and not shocked, neither likes to listen to compliments, nor does he ever compliment others, and his tone is always half indifferent smile, half playful and sarcastic, but it makes people a little unpredictable.

At this time, he made a philistine appearance again, but there were dots of ridicule in those smiling eyes, which made people angry and funny.

Xiao Yu smiled, and couldn't help but be touched by the young man's tone, coughed twice, pretended to be troubled, and then smiled warmly: "If this is the case, even if it is the end of the world, the mountains and the sea, Xiao is bound to follow, and he will definitely catch Dr. Meng back." ”

When the words fell, he saw the young man smiling, and only a pair of dark and deep eyes looked straight over, like a deep pool.

Time seemed to stop for a moment, and it was all smeared in the young man's inky eyes.

Xiao Yu was slightly stunned, suddenly came back to his senses, what he said just now seemed to be inappropriate, his heart was pounding for a while, he subconsciously lowered his eyelids to avoid the young man's gaze, and unconsciously picked up the tea cup just now in his hand, opened his mouth and drank it into his throat, poured half of it, and suddenly realized that this was still the cold tea with half of the remaining coolness, and he didn't swallow it for a while, nor did he vomit, it was stuck there, and he accidentally choked it into his lungs, and he coughed red in a few breaths.

When he was embarrassed, he heard the young man's laughter again and again, and the voice was clearer and more pleasant, and the laughter made people forget this incomprehensible embarrassment.

Xiao Yu knew that the other party was laughing at him, but he couldn't get annoyed, but because of Lang Lang's laughter, he dissolved the strange psychology of the moment just now.

He couldn't help but pick the corners of his mouth slightly, and said with a smile: "Since it is to prevent Dr. Meng from absconding with money, presumably silver alone is not enough, and Dr. Meng must be rewarded separately." Then he paused slightly, a smile lingered lightly between his eyebrows, and said, "Doctor Meng, would you like to go to the Chongguang Pavilion to share dinner with you?" ”

*

Sogo Pavilion is a very famous restaurant in the capital, different from the noisy and rich Yichun Tower, although this place is located in the prosperous place in the capital, it has its own elegant and quiet style.

Surrounded by green bamboo, jade carved railing, the sound of Zheng Zheng Qingyue piano faintly came out in the pavilion, but it was different from the sound of silk and bamboo in the usual restaurant.

There is a feeling of being in the human realm without the noise of cars and horses.

The dishes here are also different, and the shark fin bird's nest and sea bass soup in the unusual restaurant are all the same, but they are made from the famous dishes from all over the country.

He is also very good at taking local materials, whether it is the spring flowers and autumn fruits, or the ordinary carnivorous melons and fruits, they can always adapt to the time and materials, and they can also be ingenious and turn over the tricks, which is really refreshing.

Xiao Yu invited the teenager to come to such a place.

The young man seemed to be a frequent visitor here, and as soon as he got off the carriage, a shopkeeper ran over with sharp eyes, took the carriage from Li Qing's hands with his hands and feet, and went to the backyard to settle down.

Xiao Yu asked Li Qing to give some broken silver as a reward, and the shopkeeper only accepted it respectfully, without any joy and complacency.

After sending away the shopkeeper, Xiao Yu led the young man to the store with ease, only to see that the inside was really quiet and elegant, and it was even more strange that it was such a famous building, but there were few guests in the lobby at the moment, only the pianists who were tuning the piano and sitting in the two sides and the middle of the hook bar.

Meng Heng couldn't help but glance at the young man beside him, but saw that the young man's face was flat and his expression was unharmed, as if he had already expected this scene. I also had a little understanding in my heart, and I calmly went with the youth.

The two of them went to the second floor in the middle of a jade screen half-hidden, the railing slightly covered the place to enter the inside, but saw that the scenery inside has a cave, a small world, but decorated with flowing water and green bamboo, ink dyed and painted.

Meng Heng shook off his clothes lightly and sat down, his eyes swept over the surrounding scenery slightly, and then fell lightly on the young man's face, and said with a smile: "I can't imagine that His Royal Highness the Prince, who has all the opportunities for the day, also has the kung fu to linger in such a place of tobacco and alcohol, and it seems that he is still a Chinese expert, which makes Meng Mou, a big idler, feel deeply ashamed." ”

The eyebrows were raised lightly, and the meaning of ridicule and ridicule was self-evident.

Xiao Yu was not annoyed, but only smiled and said: "Doctor Meng thinks highly of me, although I have the name of a prince, but it is no different from cloth, how can I get a lot of opportunities?" Whenever there is nowhere to go and nothing to do, you can only look for places to enjoy and play in Beijing and talk about your sorrows. ”

Although the young man's tone was light, there was a subtlety of bitterness and self-deprecation.

Meng Heng glanced at him, and had a slight guess in his heart, so he pressed this stubble and didn't mention it, only lifted the teapot on the side, poured himself half a cup of tea, and took a few sips slowly, only to feel that the fragrance in his mouth was overflowing, and it was different from the ordinary strong tea fragrance, so he couldn't help but sigh: "Good tea." ”

Xiao Yu smiled spontaneously, and poured half a cup of tea himself, and said, "Does Dr. Meng know the origin of the word 'Sogo' in Sogo Pavilion?" ”

Meng Heng smiled, frowned slightly, and said lightly: "Meng has never liked the elegant games of literati and ink writers, and please tell me directly." ”

Xiao Yu saw that the young man seemed impatient, and said with a smile: "Actually, it is not very elegant, but it is taken from the sentence of Dongpo's 'east wind curling pan sublime', which is a metaphor for the delicate color of begonias, and also slightly points out the uniqueness of this place." ”

Halfway through the words, he saw that the young man looked over with a little interest, and hurriedly continued: "The so-called uniqueness is first of all tea, not taken from ordinary tea, but extracted from the spring begonia petals to make juice, and then continued to be brewed with summer lotus root morning dew and autumn green leaf nectar, filtering out the strong fragrance of the first three times of new tea, so as to get this plain and refreshing air, and never get tired of drinking." ”

As he spoke, looking at the young man's lazy and contented expression, the smile in his heart couldn't help but rise a little more.

"Doctor Meng is still used to drinking?" The young man asked in a low voice.

"Well, the taste is chic." Meng Heng replied casually, and then sighed slightly: "But I didn't know it was so troublesome." ”

The young man smiled silently, and only instructed the shopkeeper waiting outside the screen to bring up the most exquisite dishes and delicacies in the store one by one, and then he tasted the delicacies with the young man, and talked about things without anyone disturbing them.

This was a constant occurrence in the following days.

Meng Heng is also happy to see this, after all, who doesn't want the leisurely days of eating rice and listening to small songs with his face up.

What's more, although the young man is a little literary, every time he is invited to taste the dishes in the past few days, the scenery he enjoys is more and more in line with his taste.

He is quite satisfied with this.

On this day, the two of them spent an afternoon listening to music and drinking tea and snacks in the Sogo Pavilion, until the beginning of the night and the stars were dotting, and they came out of the Sogo Pavilion with unfinished intentions.

Luo Yun was already waiting on the side in the carriage, Meng Heng nodded slightly at the young man to sign his leave, then turned around and was about to board the carriage, but he heard a call from behind.

He lifted the curtain for a moment, then turned his head to look at the young man with raised eyebrows.

The young man was slightly stunned, his eyes slowly flowing with water-colored brilliance in the deeper night, and he said with a low smile: "Can Doctor Meng accompany him to ride a horse slowly and walk back slowly?" ”

Next to the young man were two tall horses standing side by side, led by Li Qingfu obediently.

Meng Heng raised his eyebrows slightly, and said neatly: "I'm not good at riding horses." ”

There was no hint of shyness in the words, but a normal indifferent tone.

This answer made the young man quite surprised, he raised his eyes and saw that the young man looked serious, and there was no joke, and he felt even more wonderful, but when he thought that the young man was so talented and above the world but he couldn't even ride a horse, he somehow gave birth to a sense of joy in his heart.

He couldn't help but quietly raise the corners of his mouth and said, "Even if this is the case, I don't dare to delay Dr. Meng's kung fu." Halfway through the conversation, he said to Luo Yun on the side: "It's getting late now, and there are fewer passers-by, you must drive carefully and protect your husband." ”

Luo Yun replied respectfully "yes", but saw that the young man's thin lips were slightly hooked, and there seemed to be disdain in his smile, so he turned around and was about to get into the carriage, and said hurriedly: "Doctor Meng, slow down." ”

"What else?" The boy lowered the curtain, and a slightly lazy voice came from inside the carriage.

The young man took a step forward and said: "I see that Dr. Meng seems to be used to eating the dishes and dim sum of this Chongguang Pavilion, if Xiao is not there one day, Dr. Meng wants to come to this Sogo Pavilion, and he can come at any time, the shopkeeper in the store knows it, and he will not accept half a cent of silver from Dr. Meng." ”

He stood still by the side of the carriage, as if hoping for another word, but heard a low laugh of unknown meaning, and then went away with the carriage.
