Meng Tianchu looked out the window, it was about two watches, and then said, "I haven't seen you so reckless." ”

The maid said with a smile: "Otherwise, Master Meng should wait for Miss to finish eating the mushroom before leaving, anyway, Miss should eat it, you and Miss will talk first, and I'll go and bring it hot." ”

Xiaonuo: "Don't serve it to me, it's so bitter!" ”

Meng Tianchu motioned for the maid to fetch it, and then sat in front of Xiaonuo's bed, the moonlight shone softly on Xiaonuo's beautiful face, but it looked extremely pale.

Meng Tianchu: "Okay, Brother Meng just promised you, you can say it, but you also have to promise me, after I leave, you have to eat obediently every day, you have to be obedient, you know?" ”

Xiaonuo: "I must go with you, if you leave me behind, I will die to show you." ”

Meng Tianchu hurriedly covered Xiaonuo's mouth, pulled down his face, and said, "Nonsense, threaten me at every turn, be careful that I really don't want you one day." ”

Meng Tianchu was just a joke, but Xiao Nuo's tears came as soon as he said it, Meng Tianchu saw Xiao Nuo in tears, looking at himself pitifully, and his heart was really not a taste, so he quickly wiped Xiao Nuo's tears, Xiao Nuo turned his head over, Meng Tianchu said: "Okay, I'm just a joke, how dare I, I'm still afraid that the Lord of Long Live will condemn me." ”

Xiao Nuo looked at Meng Tianchu and said, "Are you willing to take me only because you're afraid of Long Live Lord?" Am I just so unlikable that I won't let you see me? ”

Meng Tianchu realized that he had said the wrong thing, and hurriedly said: "Look at me, where do I mean that, okay, it's me who is wrong, it's me who is reluctant to promise." You are so cute, so well-behaved, and you understand Brother Meng's mind so well. How could I be willing to let you leave me? ”

Xiaonuo: "Is it true?" ”

Meng Tianchu hurriedly nodded and said yes.

Xiao Nuo burst into tears and laughed. said: "Don't lie to me, if you lie to me, you are a puppy, and you are not Brother Meng." ”

Meng Tianchu shook his head with a helpless smile, and said, "What I said is naturally true, where would I lie to you, okay, here you are." After you've eaten, you're going to have to sleep well and don't be naughty, you know? ”

The maid happened to walk in the door with the bowl, Meng Tianchu brought the bowl over, Xiao Nuo obediently took the bowl, and drank it in a few sips, the maid hurriedly handed over the mouthwash, and after Xiao Nuo rinsed his mouth. said to Meng Tianchu with a smile: "I'll be good, okay, you go back to sleep, anyway, when I wake up, you have to be by my side, or I won't eat it again next time." ”

Meng Tianchu nodded. He stood up and stretched, and said, "I'm really sleepy, you sleep well, I'll come to your room early tomorrow morning and wait for you to wake up, it's always okay, right?" ”

Xiao Nuo watched with satisfaction as Meng Tianchu walked out of the door. Disappear into the darkness. The maid snickered on the side, and Xiaonuo said loudly, "What are you standing here and giggling?" Why don't you hurry up and send me Brother Meng's lamp, if your feet are twisted again, you will be responsible? ”

After hearing this, the maid hurriedly chased out with a lantern, Xiaonuo lay down at this time, and suddenly accidentally touched her injured leg on the bed string, and couldn't help screaming, quickly covered her mouth, snickered, and then closed her eyes.

In Meng Tianchu's words, on the first day of taking office, he still needed to prepare, he was originally going to go to the capital to deal with He Ding's affairs and then report to Hangzhou Mansion, but considering Xiaonuo and his own body, he postponed the trip again, Cheng Ziyi seemed to be a little dissatisfied with this, but he also knew his daughter's temper, so he had to let Meng Tianchu take office first, and then his daughter's ideological work was done slowly, and there was no response from Long Live Lord, and Meng Tianchu and they did not dare to enter Beijing rashly.

This is the third time Meng Tianchu has entered Hangzhou Mansion, and he still deliberately wears a new dress, a new official, a new official, in Xia Fengyi's words, is to highlight a new word, and the people in the family feel that there are more than Meng Tianchu himself. Meng Tianchu initially felt that this was very awkward, it felt very funny, like a clown, but after all, it was not good to go against the good intentions of the four ladies, so he had to come with a new one from beginning to end, and even the headscarf was replaced with a new one.

Before going out, Meng Tianchu deliberately went to see Xiaonuo, she was still asleep, and Mrs. Cheng didn't have the same look as she had for the first time when she saw Meng Tianchu, and even showed a comforting smile, letting Meng Tianchu go busily on her own, and when Xiaonuo woke up, she told her that Meng Tianchu had come to see it.

Meng Tianchu knew what Xiaonuo had said to Mrs. Cheng, otherwise as a mother, she would naturally not be so open-minded and quick to understand such a child's behavior, not a drop of blood, but a piece of flesh, who else knows the pain of the skin better than being a mother.

After Meng Tianchu thanked Mrs. Cheng, he still left a note on the pillow for Xiao Nuo, worried that she would wake up and refuse to eat properly, so he left the house with Tulong and Chai Meng with confidence.

If this Hangzhou Mansion is the largest government in Fujian and Zhejiang, it is definitely not boasting, this sky flying, running on the ground, swimming in the water, as long as it can be seen and touched, it can be found in Hangzhou Mansion, Hangzhou Mansion once became the most prosperous and lively economic center of the Ming Dynasty, and being a prefect here is much more profitable than being a Shuntian Mansion in the capital. Long Live Lord understands, but he just turns a blind eye, although this mountain and river is Long Live Lord's, but someone must take care of it for him, take care of it, and get by, probably as the first lesson of an emperor.

Meng Tianchudi's carriage stopped steadily in front of the gate of the Hangzhou Mansion, Tu Long poked his head out to take a look, immediately retracted his head, and said with a low laugh: "It's so lively, my lord, it seems that the civil and military officials of Hangzhou are still very enthusiastic about you, the newly appointed prefect." ”

Meng Tianchu didn't need to look, just listening to the movement, he knew that the excitement outside was really extraordinary.

Seeing Meng Tianchu's serious face, Slayer Long said, "My lord, do you think we should go down now, or wait for Master Ke Qianke to come forward to greet him?" ”

Meng Tianchu: "No need, let's go down by ourselves, where do we need so much red tape." Let's go. ”

Chai Meng hurriedly pulled Meng Tianchu and said, "My lord, I don't think so." Our carriage has stopped. Although they said that there were two lines of queues, none of them stepped forward, obviously they just wanted to watch your good show, wouldn't it be embarrassing for you to go on like this? ”

Dragon Slayer: "That's what Chai Meng said. ”

Meng Tianchu smiled slightly and said, "You also said that our carriage has stopped, so we can't wait in the carriage." Don't you think it's embarrassing? Okay, my master was born, it's not the same as these people who studied hard to gain fame, it's not impossible for people to come up with some shelves, whoever it is, probably won't be convinced, let's go, don't let everyone wait for a long time. "Finished. Meng Tianchu lifted the curtain, the coachman hurriedly let go of Ma Deng, Meng Tianchu stepped on Ma Deng steadily, raised his head and smiled at the people in front of him, except for himself. In front of him, the officials of the Hangzhou Prefecture were all dressed neatly in official uniforms, either solemn, smiling, respectful, or humble. or disdain. Or looked at himself with disdain, Meng Tianchu stepped out of the car. Standing at the front of Ke Gan, although he said he was smiling, he never stepped forward to greet him, Meng Tianchu knew in his heart, still smiling, and walked steadily towards Ke Gan.

"Lord Meng, I've been waiting here for a long time, and I think Lord Meng can't do anything else temporarily."

Meng Tianchu saw Ke Gan smiling at him in a weird manner, spitting everywhere, he smiled and stepped forward to give a salute first, Ke Qian deliberately looked at the officials around him, his eyes were full of pride and satisfaction, and after seeing Meng Tianchu's salute, he bowed his waist and returned the salute with a fake smile, and said absolutely impossible words in his mouth, but he thought in his heart that you, a hairy boy who had not dried up, dared to come and rob Lord Ben of food, see if I don't give you some color.

Meng Tianchu got up to speak, and a shriveled old man on the side opened his mouth to see a golden front teeth dazzling in the sun, and a male duck's voice, as if there was something in his throat that couldn't be pulled out, which made people hate to poke a hole in his throat to see what was put inside, making people's ears tortured like this.

"Doesn't Lord Meng know that on his first day in office, he will wear an official uniform to take office? Hee-hee-hee-hee, although you are dressed in new clothes, but... How are you bowed down by our 112 local officials in Hangzhou? ”

Some officials on the side obviously came to see the excitement, and when they saw this shriveled old man making trouble for Meng Tianchu like this, they naturally snickered on the side, completely gloating.

Meng Tianchu was not annoyed, and suddenly there was a crisp and rapid sound of horses' hooves behind him from far and near, and a loud voice shouted: "The holy decree has arrived!" ”

Meng Tianchu turned around and saw a jujube red horse galloping towards him, and hurriedly knelt down first, Ke Qian and his party first looked at each other, and then quickly knelt down one after another.

A person jumped under the horse, like a eunuch of the celebrant eunuch, Meng Tianchu peeked at it, this person was about the same age as Gonggong Wei, but his hair was completely gray, and he could be regarded as a dignified appearance and a talent.

"Who is Meng Tianchu?"

It's just that this beginning ruined all the images, especially the orchid stretched out her fingers and glanced at everyone with charming eyes, which made people feel a little disgusted.

Meng Tianchu hurriedly said: "Humble duty is." ”

The father-in-law glanced at Meng Tianchu, the corners of his mouth twitched, but he didn't smile, he unfolded the silk silk seriously, cleared his throat, and said: "Fengtian carrier, the emperor said: I haven't seen Aiqing for a few days, and I am quite worried in my heart." But considering that Aiqing had only taken office and was riddled with trivial matters, she was allowed to finish the matter at hand a month later, and then set off for Beijing. ”

Meng Tianchu knelt on the ground and listened to the eunuch's reading, but he thought in his heart, why did the Lord let him leave for Beijing in a month?

"Master Meng, congratulations, why don't you accept the order?"

Meng Tianchu hurriedly got up and thanked the eunuch first, and then took the holy decree, the eunuch looked at the official who was still kneeling on the ground, but did not let him get up, but finally showed a smile, Meng Tianchu found that it was a pity for this person to be a eunuch, and the white teeth made people look comfortable.

The eunuch walked up to Meng Tianchu and said, "Congratulations, Master Meng, you are the first official of the Long Live Lord to take office, and his old man personally sent someone to congratulate you, you are really amazing." ”

The voice of this was extremely loud, and Meng Tianchu knew that this father-in-law was not only talking to himself, but mainly to those people who were kneeling behind.

Meng Tianchu hurriedly thanked him and said, "Thank you father-in-law, father-in-law has been tired all the way, how about sending someone to send his father-in-law back to the official post to rest first?" ”

Father-in-law: "It's okay. Master Meng called me Gonggong Song. ”

Meng Tianchu: "Gonggong Song." ”

Gonggong Song nodded in satisfaction, then looked at the officials, and waved his hand this time. "Get up." What are you still doing kneeling, and the miscellaneous family is not an official, what's the use of you kneeling? ”

Everyone stood up a little embarrassed, Ke Gan hurriedly stepped forward to salute, and said with a smile: "I don't know if Gonggong Song is coming, Ke is really disappointed." ”

Gonggong Song looked at Ke Gan with a smile and said, "You are now Lord Meng's deputy, haven't you changed the role between you in your heart?" ”

Ke Qian looked at Gonggong Song with some weakness. Then he looked at Meng Tianchu embarrassedly, and said, "Where, where do you dare, Master Meng is young and talented, young and promising, where is the person who Long Live Lord fancies?" ”

Gonggong Song snorted, looked at these officials who bowed their heads and said silently, and then said to Meng Tianchu: "Long live the Lord let me give you a message." This Hangzhou Mansion is now your Meng Tianchu's territory, how you want to pick it up is your Meng Tianchu's land, long live Lord I believe that you will not let him down, as for those who don't listen to the call and don't get in with oil and salt. You just tell Wan Sui Ye that you can't clean it up, and Wan Sui Ye still doesn't believe that he can't clean it up. ”

The officials who were close to him naturally understood Gonggong Song's words, and with a sigh in their hearts, their foreheads and palms were full of sweat in an instant.

Meng Tianchu: "Please ask my father-in-law to bring a message to Long Live Lord." Let's just say that Meng Tianchu will definitely not live up to the expectations of the Long Live Lord. ”

Gonggong Song patted Meng Tianchu's shoulder affectionately. smiled: "I have brought your official uniform, and I think this Hangzhou locals are also hypocritical." Without the skin, they don't seem to buy your account. ”

Meng Tianchu smiled and didn't speak, Gonggong Song stepped forward and whispered to Meng Tianchu: "Long live Lord is very concerned about you and the Rain Spirit Heavenly Master." ”

Meng Tianchu: "Then why didn't you let me leave immediately?" ”

Gonggong Song looked at Meng Tianchu meaningfully, and said: "Then our family doesn't dare to speculate on the holy will, since it is Long Live Lord who will let you enter Beijing in a month, Master Meng, you can stay in this picturesque Hangzhou City with peace of mind, anyway, there is good food and drink here and beautiful people to accompany you, in other words, it is our family, I don't want to go anywhere." ”

Meng Tianchu smiled and said, "Since my father-in-law has said so, then it is better to be respectful than to obey my fate." ”

Gonggong Song laughed twice and said: "Long live Lord always praises you in front of our family, and Concubine Xian is the same, now that I see it, our family also understands, why Master Meng is a likable master, if it is our family, our family will also like people like you, who doesn't like smart people?" ”

Meng Tianchu laughed, that virtuous concubine was probably Xiao Wei.

Ke Qian has already understood the intention of this Song father-in-law, it seems that this Meng Tianchu really can't be offended, Meng Tianchu casually chose a day to take office, long live the lord even knew it, this doesn't count, he even specially sent a father-in-law around him to pass the word, saying what the holy decree is, in fact, there is no content in the holy decree, the content is all on this father-in-law.

Ke Qian understood, and the hundreds of officials around him naturally saw it clearly, and no one would just take money to be an official in Hangzhou Mansion, and they were smarter and better at calculating than anyone else.

Everyone saw Meng Tianchu send off his father-in-law, changed his disgusted faces before, and walked towards Meng Tianchu one after another, all smiling and greeting, Tu Long stood beside Meng Tianchu, seeing that he had kept the smile when he first got off the car, and entered the Hangzhou Mansion surrounded by everyone, Tu Long couldn't help but be a little impressed by this master who had never been an official.

Xiaonuo woke up, the sun was already setting in the west, she opened her eyes, looked around the room, only saw her mother, couldn't help but be a little disappointed, pursed the corners of her mouth, and didn't speak, but Mrs. Cheng saw it, knowing what her daughter was looking for, so she smiled and walked to the bed, and said, "Xiaonuo, what time is it, it's getting dark." Xiaonuo was very surprised and said, "What time is it?" Didn't I sleep all day? ”

Mrs. Cheng nodded and said, "Yes, it's time for dinner soon, I've been here several times, I'm afraid that the maid will wake you up clumsily, fortunately, when you woke up, I happened to come over, does the wound still hurt?" ”

Xiaonuo shook his head and said, "Mother, I'm much better, what about Brother Meng?" ”

Mrs. Cheng: "Today, you, Lord Meng, went to the prefect's mansion. ”

Xiao Nuo was strange and said, "Didn't you say that you will go to the capital first, and then take office?" Why don't you wait for me? ”

Mrs. Cheng smiled and said, "It's not you who is going to be the prefect of Hangzhou, it's Meng Tianchu, Lord Meng, what is he waiting for you to do?" ”

Xiaonuo was not happy and said, "Hmph, he lied to me, I won't pay attention to him anymore." ”
