was pressed by Fang Xiangye's fierce color, and Meng Yingqi's face was ashamed. However www.biquge.info he continued: "The students are only shallow in their studies, and they really can't afford the heavy responsibility of the household department. If you can't do a good job in the affairs of the household, wouldn't you live up to the good intentions of the Xiangye and delay the national affairs! I hope you will understand! Seeing that he insisted, Fang Xiangye listened to his defense, and his sinking face eased a little. He said softly: "Yingqi, it makes sense for me to let you serve in the household department. Now almost all of the households are Fu Shangshu's people. Fu Shangshu can be said to cover the sky with one hand in the court. Although I am in the first rank, my power is far inferior. Whenever there was a dispute in the court, Fu Shangshu could influence the situation, so his power was rising. Of the more than 300 scholars in this section this year, nearly half of them have gone through his doorway. In the long run, I want to revive the dynasty, but I am afraid that it will be more difficult. I let you go to the household, not for anything else, but I just hope that you can gain a foothold in the household department and break the current situation for me. Meng Yingqi listened to him give such a solemn introduction to the situation between the DPRK and China, and he was so serious. Deng Shi felt that he had a heavy task on his shoulders. Thinking of his hard work for so many years, that bloody revenge came to my heart again. So he didn't say much more about prevarication. Instead, he nodded and said, "The student remembers the teachings of the sir!" I will definitely make a difference in the household department! Fang Xiangye's face showed a little pleasure at this moment. instructed the scholar to come up and add tea, and said to Meng Yingqi with a pleasant face: "It's not early, why don't you stay and have a few drinks with the old man!" ”

This day is the first sunny day after the snow, the sunset at dusk reflects the white snow in the splendid pile of Xiangfu Garden, the snow reflects the glow, the cold and the beautiful colors are blended, there is a special feeling. Meng Yingqi accompanied Xiangye to sit in the water pavilion called Tingquan in his house, enjoying the snow scene, tasting the aging wine, and feeling emotional. After a few glasses of water and wine, Meng Yingqi's face was already faintly red, obviously out of strength. Fang Xiangye looked at his expression and knew the clue. But he pretended not to know, and still smiled and was attentive. Meng Yingqi was afraid that he would lose his temper after drinking, so he finally began to reluctantly refuse. Just as he was refusing, suddenly there was a sound of the piano in the distance, although it seemed to be a shadow and a shadow, but the music was elegant, so that the listener couldn't help but concentrate. When Fang Xiangye heard the music, he called the scholar and asked, "Who is this drum?" Don't you know where today's guests are? The scholar saw that Xiangye's face was not gloomy, and it didn't seem to be blame, so he boldly replied: "It's Miss Mingzhu, she has to practice the piano and music every day at this hour." If the prime minister is impatient, the little one will go over and tell him. Fang Xiangye's face was soothing, and he said, "That's it." Her piano skills seem to have improved a lot. When I get free one day, I'll have to listen to it. When the scholar heard this, he obediently went down and did not mention it.

Meng Yingqi was forced to pour a few more glasses by Fang Xiangye, but he was not strong enough to drink. In desperation, he told the internal urgency and was led to the thatched house by a small servant from the Prime Minister's Mansion. The inside of the water pavilion is as warm as spring, but the outside is cold. Meng Yingqi was blown by the cold wind, and the wine was blown off by three or four points at once. just came out of the thatched house, but disappeared from the little guy who led the way before. The flowers and trees are deep, and I don't know the way to come. I had to rely on a little memory to slowly explore the path in the garden. Gradually, I arrived at the lake, and my heart was overjoyed. Because the place where I stayed before was called Tingquan, even if I went to the lake, I didn't want to come to the water pavilion far away. At this time, I heard the sound of the piano in my ears again, and my heart was even more happy, and the place where I had just drunk was also accompanied by the sound of the piano. It's just that he turned around, but he couldn't find the water pavilion, and he was in a hurry, when he suddenly saw a small pavilion in front of him, and there were two figures in it, standing and sitting. I can't care so much at the moment, it's best to be able to see people. So he hurriedly went over and saluted: "Please forgive Xiaosheng for being abrupt, I don't know how to go to the Tingquan Pavilion in your mansion?" As soon as his question came out, he heard a little girl scolding in a coquettish voice: "Where did you come from?" Don't you know that this is our young lady playing the piano? Actually come and bother! Hearing that he disturbed the young lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Meng Yingqi was very embarrassed, and hurriedly apologized: "I'm really sorry, Xiaosheng is definitely not deliberately harassing!" It's really a drunken mistake and a mistake! Please forgive me! The little girl was still talking to herself, but she heard a delicate and soft female voice, like a yellow warbler coming out of the valley, and said crisply: "Those who don't know are not guilty!" Childe is a distinguished guest of his father, Xiaohuan should not be rude! Childe is on the wrong track. Listen to the spring pavilion on the other side of the lake, on the other side of the Qinfang Pavilion where I am! Meng Yingqi listened to her explanation, and then took a closer look, and sure enough, the shadow of the water pavilion was visible on the far other side. I couldn't help but wonder why the little guy who took him to the toilet was willing to go far and take himself to the other side of the lake to relieve himself. It's just that he can't say it at this time. The young lady saw that he looked upright, did not look around, and did not intend to snoop, and had the style of a decent gentleman. I already knew it in my heart, sighed secretly, and instructed the girl who was close to me: "Xiaohuan, you take this son to listen to the spring water pavilion, there must be no mistake!" The little ring mouth and nose were high, but he didn't dare to disobey the master's orders, so he stretched his face and said to Meng Yingqi: "Son, please come with me!" Meng Yingqi then followed her to share the flowers and willows and returned to the water pavilion.

Fang Xiangye saw that he was returning at this time, and another little girl was leading the way in front, and couldn't help laughing: "Yingqi must have lost his strength in alcohol?" What, got lost in the yard? Meng Yingqi looked ashamed and said, "The student was reckless and went to the other side of the lake." I almost disturbed Miss Guifu! Fang Xiangye glanced at Xiaohuan who led the way, his face showed a fierce color, Xiaohuan immediately trembled with fright, and said in a trembling voice: "Xiangye, Miss goes to practice every day, I really don't know that I will meet a distinguished guest!" Meng Yingqi saw that the situation was not right, and hurriedly said: "Don't blame you, sir, it's all bad students!" Fang Xiangye snorted coldly and said, "Today, Meng Tanhua intercedes for you, you can go back!" The next time something like this happens, I won't be spared! Xiaohuan listened, knelt down and kowtowed, thanked Xiangye, and hurriedly turned around and left. And look at the water pavilion here, it is already cold soup. Fang Xiangye obviously didn't have the interest in entertaining guests at the moment. Meng Yingqi also hurriedly retired.

In a small courtyard in the northwest corner of the Prime Minister's Mansion, the tables and chairs are simple, and the corners of the small courtyard are covered with moss. There was still snow in front of the courtyard. Obviously, the owner of this courtyard is the one who is not welcomed in this prime minister's house. It was completely dark, and there was a dim light in the low room. A servant woman in green cloth with an expressionless face carrying a plate did not enter the courtyard until this time.
