This is the most serious sentence that Gu Zhikai has emphasized, he is very serious, Meng Fan can see it.

She nodded silently, took Gu Zhikai's hand, and said in a gentle voice: "If there is something you can't accomplish by yourself, you must know that Taifu has always been behind you." ”

Gu Zhikai smiled, smiled very naturally, and the two walked slowly to the small teahouse next to the post station.

The first few people had already ordered everything, and some had already taken a sip of delicious tea.

When Meng Fan sat down, he felt as if someone had pulled him, and when he looked down, a little boy covered in dirt was staring at her with a pair of extremely clear eyes.

He pointed to the refreshment in front of her, which didn't look very tasty, and then obediently arched his hand and smiled slightly.

Meng Fan was warmed by his action, so he picked up the refreshment and put it in his hand, and gave him a pot of tea by the way.

The little boy took these things, and his eyes immediately filled with tears.

Pointing to the things in his hand, he gave a woman with a dark face who was holding a child and said, "Grandma, the kind people gave us food." ”

The woman clasped her hands together in gratitude, and told her emotions with her actions.

Meng Fan waved his hand, then lowered his head and never glanced at the mother and son.

"Taifu, what's wrong with you?"

Meng Fan said with a smile: "I don't know what this emperor is going to do, the last time the village was burned, it had already caused the anger of the people, this time the channels were dug on a large scale, there were many conscriptions, there were many people left behind, and the people were displaced, I don't know what to say." ”

Although Meng Fan did not directly blame Gu Zhikai, listening to her tone, Gu Zhikai also knew that Meng Fan was blaming him for not stopping the matter in time.

The teacup in Gu Zhikai's hand stayed in mid-air.

He looked around, and indeed found many mothers squatting under the trees with their children, looking at the clothes on each person's body, indeed walking for a long time and suffering a lot.

At this time, I can't help but think that the officials are seeking power in the court, but they have harmed the people below.

If it is said that the king is the boat and the people are the water, I am afraid that there will be a big flood.

He bowed his head apologetically, for he was indeed the first to know about it from the Emperor, although the Emperor asked him very seriously whether it was feasible to repair the canal.

However, even if he said no, the emperor would not agree.

He didn't have the absolute right to deal with these matters as Meng Fan thought, he was only responsible for conveying the emperor's intentions.

And in this matter, he just saw that the irrigation of crops would be improved after the canal was repaired, but he didn't expect that the disaster behind it.

"Taifu, in fact, everything has advantages and disadvantages, and the repair of this canal is also for the benefit of the people. Gu Zhikai said, but Meng Fan shook his head silently, pointed at the woman and said, "I'll give you an idea, let the disadvantages become good." ”

Gu Zhikai looked at Meng Fan and asked curiously, "What's the idea?" ”

"These people have lost the main force of labor in their families, so they will bring their children all the way to find their husbands, but what can they do if they find them?" She paused a little and pointed to the basket in the woman's hand and asked, "Is the basket required for repairing the canal a big project, why don't you let them go, on the one hand, the husband and wife are together, on the other hand, this can be regarded as an increase in their silver, and life will be better." ”

Gu Zhikai did have a little truth when he heard it, and while nodding his head, he suddenly smiled embarrassedly, feeling that there were some things that he would never be able to compare to Meng Fan.

Meng Fan patted him and said, "What's wrong?" ”

Gu Zhikai didn't answer, just thought about it and looked at those people again, and couldn't help but sigh.

On the road again, he looked at the little boy and called him over.

The boy walked over cautiously, Gu Zhikai took his hand and handed him a token, and then lowered his head and whispered something in the little boy's ear.

The little boy danced happily with his little hands, and Gu Zhikai emphasized beside him, remember, it is the secret of the two of us.

The little boy nodded effortlessly.

"What did you tell him?" Meng Fan opened the curtain of a sedan chair and asked Gu Zhikai.

Gu Zhikai pretended to shake his head mysteriously and did not speak.

Meng Fan had no choice but to stop asking.

This time I walked for a week on the way back to Beijing, and less than a hundred miles outside Beijing, I saw a particularly familiar figure.

He was dressed in white clothes, fluttering with the wind on the city wall, although he couldn't see the appearance of this person clearly, but Meng Fan already knew who this person was.

"Why is he here?" Meng Fan asked Gu Zhikai, who hadn't glanced at the city wall at all.

Gu Zhikai took a dog's tail grass out of nowhere and put it in his mouth, glanced at the man on the city wall with disdain, and said in an extremely unhappy tone: "Who knows what he is doing?" Not a good thing anyway. ”

As he spoke, he waved his horsewhip and walked forward, pulling Meng Fan's carriage a long distance.

A few soldiers behind him couldn't help but follow.

When Gu Zhikai arrived at the city gate, the man was looking at him, pulled out a seemingly ordinary smile, and asked-"Are you back?" ”

Gu Zhikai tilted his head and smiled: "Yes, safe and sound, are you disappointed?" ”

The man didn't answer, just rolled up his long sleeves and left.

He walked very quickly, and he didn't seem to want to see Meng Fan who caught up behind.

"Taifu, I'll go back to my mansion to deal with some things first, and then I'll go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to look for you." Gu Zhikai said, and Meng Fan nodded.

He walked all the way to his mansion with his horsewhip, and several people from the Meng family army who followed behind Meng Fan pulled Meng Fan's carriage back to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

When there was still a street across the Prime Minister's Mansion, the sound of firecrackers lit in the Prime Minister's Mansion was already heard.

When Meng Fan's carriage arrived, the little girl in Han Qing'er's arms stretched out her little finger like a lotus root and pointed at Meng Fan's carriage and said, "Dad...... Daddy......"

This speech made the people around him can't help but be amazed, the child spoke too early, making people think that she is not smart and different.

Uncle Meng looked at the girl, and smiled very happily at first, but after a while, his face changed and looked at the little boy hiding in Meng's mother's arms, and said with a hatred: "It would be nice if this girl were a kid." ”

Meng Fan in the sedan chair heard these words sincerely, she opened the curtain and said with a smile: "What did uncle say?" My daughter will inevitably be the dragon and phoenix among people in the future, and there has been Mulan since ancient times, why can't my girl. ”

As she spoke, she picked up the daughter who had been reaching out for her to hug.

This child is indescribably cute, full of likability, and is also quiet in Meng Fan's arms, and from time to time he sticks to Meng Fan's ear and calls Daddy sweetly.

Sure enough, it's a good person, and if it's not too big, you already know who is the one who said it from the Prime Minister's Mansion.
