Wei didn't explain, he also knew that even when he was in Chengziyifu in the past, he didn't see this governor at first sight of him, if it wasn't for the appreciation of the governor in the deliberation of the military division several times, where would it be the turn to do the military division, so that later he was fortunate to meet the right governor of the Inspectorate, Yu Shi Hongluan, who gave him some ideas on the defense and strategy of the border sea area, and the man remembered Xu Wei's good so he recommended Xu Wei to go up, so that Xu Wei got an official of the commander of the Jinyi Guard, said that it was Cheng Ziyi, which was nothing more than that he still remembered the grace of dripping water, but if Cheng Ziyi really appreciated Meng Tianchu, he would be very happy, and he also hoped that Meng Tianchu would get ahead one day and show his ambitions.

Meng Tianchu was about to explain, Cheng Ziyi said: "The cruise ship will not go, not to mention the hot weather, they are all some vulgar powder, besides, I have no interest in those, since Master Meng said just now, please let a few of us go to his house to eat snacks, I want to pick up the day is better than the day, just today." What does Master Meng think? ”

When several adults heard this, they all nodded, after all, the governor spoke, who was embarrassed to say that he liked to go to the cruise ship to see what vulgar powder.

When Meng Tianchu heard this, he thought to himself how Cheng Ziyi could be a completely foreigner, saying that he was free to come to the house to play, so he immediately said if it was today, he was really fainted.

Meng Tianchu hurriedly said: "This... There is no preparation at home, adult Cheng, you see if you wait for the late birth to go back and let the family prepare, or tomorrow. ”

Cheng Ziyi shook his hand and said, "No need." We just ate big fish and meat, just eat something refreshing and delicious at night, don't deliberately prepare something, so we are uncomfortable, you see this cool breeze, find us a place to rest and cut watermelon. ”

Meng Tianchu looked at Xu Wei, Xu Wei covered his mouth and snickered, thinking I will watch you run. Now it's all right. All going to your house. Don't keep a few ladies busy.

Meng Tianchu saw that Cheng Ziyi said so, so it was not good to refuse again, so he had to nod.

Cheng Ziyi said with a smile: "Let's go, we have a total of three or two carriages, I know that you must go first, go back and talk to your family, you take a carriage first." We'll come later. ”

Meng Tianchu couldn't be polite, and hurriedly called the carriage, Sima Ru stepped forward and said, "Brother Meng and I will go first, there are also people on the road to accompany Brother Meng to talk." ”

Jian Qi said: "It's okay, you go first, and we'll arrive later." ”

Sima Ru walked up to Xu Wei and whispered, and then left with Meng Tianchu in a car.

Cheng Ziyi said to Xu Wei: "I have heard of this Sima Ru before. Jump three levels in a row. But it's not simple, although it's just a five-grade Shaoqing, but this position is what everyone wants to sit. I'm afraid that the head is going to be robbed and the bleeding is the one who sits in this position, how do you know him. ”

Xu Wei: "It was also a time when I met when I was drinking in Linglang's Mansion, and I had more contacts with similar temperaments." ”

Cheng Ziyi nodded and said, "Why doesn't he go with us, but first, do you know what it means?" ”

Xu Wei shook his head, in fact, he knew it in his heart, but occasionally pretended to be stupid in front of the leader when necessary, so that the leader could have a sense of achievement.

Cheng Ziyi said: "He probably also sees that Meng Tianchu will not always be just a bird, people like him are more shrewd than anyone else, otherwise how would he have jumped from a palanquin man who gave the emperor Tailuan Yi to a court official, and now he has done enough kung fu, one day he and this Honghu will definitely have the same relationship as you and Meng Tianchu today,... Brotherly and brotherly! ”

Xu Wei nodded, and Jian Qi said with a smile: "The first time I saw Meng Tianchu, I found that this young man will not always be willing to be a master of a county government, of course, this is just my feeling." ”

Cheng Ziyi: "Lord Jane's eyes are like a torch, naturally there is nothing wrong." ”

After saying that, everyone laughed good-naturedly.

Here, Meng Tianchu and Sima Ru rushed all the way back.

Sima Ru: "Actually, don't care about it, since Lord Cheng has already said it, just listen to it seriously, you have made it grand, these adults may not appreciate it." ”

Meng Tianchu hurriedly thanked him, Sima Ru smiled indifferently, and said, "Do you know why I want to take the first step with Brother Meng?" ”

Meng Tianchu shook his head, Sima Ru smiled mysteriously, first gently lifted the corner of the curtain, and saw that the coachman was seriously driving the car, the sun was already slanting in the west, and sometimes a breeze blew, and it was not so hot.

Sima Ru patted the coachman's shoulder lightly and said, "Stop here, find a place, I'm a little anxious." ”

The coachman screamed, and the horse slowed down and soon stopped.

"Brother Meng, let's go, let's go down and release the water in our stomachs, the bumps in the road, plus I drank some soup just now, I really can't hold it back."

Meng Tianchu saw that Sima Ru had already jumped out of the car, and knew that he probably had something to say, such a mysterious appearance, why bother, but the people had already gone down, and it was not good for him to stay in the car, so he had to jump out of the car.

It is a birch forest, and the towering trees are straight on both sides of the road, and when the wind blows, you can hear the sound of the leaves rattling, which makes people feel even cooler.

Meng Tianchu and Sima Ru walked out towards the depths of the woods, Sima Ru found a secluded place, it seemed that he was really in a hurry, and it took a while to come out.

Sima Ru: "Do you know that the emperor is coming to Jiangnan recently?" ”

Meng Tianchu looked up at the pale blue sky that came out of the leaves, and said, "Really? I don't know, what does this have to do with my master of a county government. ”

Sima Ru walked over with a smile, put his hand on Meng Tianchu's shoulder, and whispered, "Since I called you off the car, I just want to tell you about it." ”

Meng Tianchu smiled, and said as he walked: "I thought that Master Sima was going to tell me something, and even my coachman avoided it, in fact, I Meng Tianchu has no official five grades, and the thing you said seems to be far away from me Meng Tianchu." ”

Sima Rupi said with a smile: "Really? Then didn't you just staggered with Wei Guogong and talked and laughed? ”

Meng Tianchu was stunned. Stopped, Sima Ru stepped forward, looked at Meng Tianchu, blinked his eyes, and said: "The imperial court specially awards third-class titles to meritorious heroes who have meritorious service to the imperial court, and these titles are hereditary.

Your brother Meng should be clear, right? ”

Meng Tianchu saw Sima Ru's mysterious appearance. Said: "Lord Sima means. Lord Cheng is the emperor's personal title of the Duke of Weiguo? Why haven't I heard Xu Wei mention it? ”

The two men sat on the trunk of a tree that had dried up and fallen to the ground. Sima Ru broke a dry branch and used it to play with in his hand.

"Then Brother Meng should know that the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang has always been a cronie around the emperor, this official position is different from the official position of other places, it is not permanent, because these governors are only nine in the country, and they are the highest position of the feudal officials, I know you well. It can be regarded as a familiar thing at first sight, I will give you Brother Meng a heart, I still know what kind of person our emperor is. I, Sima Ru, took the imperial court, and I was favored by the emperor, so I shouldn't have said that the emperor was not, but..."

Meng Tianchu thought to himself, what do you want to say. I haven't known what you, Sima Ru, want to write to me for a long time.

Sima Ru made a very guilty look. Then he said: "Alas, in fact, I just want to tell you that the emperor is coming to Jiangnan this time. In addition to inspecting the people's situation, I think it is more to come and see the old friends and relatives here, including Lord Wei Guogong Cheng Zi Yicheng, and your third lady Zuo Jiayin, that is, Master Yuling. ”

Meng Tianchu: "Lord Sima is really well-informed!" ”

Sima Ru laughed twice, stood up, patted the dust on his clothes, and said, "You'll know later, let's go, let's talk and go, you're probably in a hurry to go home." ”

Meng Tianchu thought to himself, you have been talking for a long time, I don't think there is anything mysterious at all, come on, I have nothing to be afraid of.

But there is still a lot of work to be done on face, Meng Tianchu arched his hand and said gratefully: "Thank you Brother Sima for reminding me." ”

The two of them returned to the car, and Sima Ru said: "Don't underestimate Cheng Ziyi, his original wife is the wife of the first emperor, and although she died, the treatment of 800 yuan per year has been changed." ”

Meng Tianchu didn't understand these edicts and edicts, so he only listened with a smile, Sima Ru was in charge of these trivial matters of the royal family, and it was natural that he knew all about these things.

Seeing Meng Tianchu's expression, Sima Ru said with a smile: "Don't think that you have nothing to do with your Brother Meng, now I tell you because I say that one day that Cheng Ziyi will fall in love with you." Keeping you by your side, anyway, he will go back to the capital soon, if you really think you can reuse, you stay with a boss who knows the roots, and it is always much easier for you to do things. ”

Meng Tianchu smiled and said, "Master Sima's hard work, I Meng Mou understands and is grateful, I think you probably think that Lord Cheng is very good to me today, so I think he will bring another master." ”

"Wrong!"

"What does Master Sima mean?"

"Although Lord Cheng is not a relative of the emperor, his status will never be under those princes, and not everyone can let Cheng Ziyi feel old at first sight, and besides, Xu Wei's command is not Cheng Ziyi's credit, but it just plays a role in threading the needle, don't underestimate your brother, although Xu Wei has already received such benefits without seeing the emperor, but the person who carries him can be regarded as a person above ten thousand people, a very human minister."

This Meng Tianchu still didn't expect it, he always thought that Xu Wei was pulled up by Cheng Ziyi, but he didn't expect that there was another person, so Xu Wei was really amazing.

"Even so, Brother Xu is talented, proficient in military books, and good at using soldiers, these are not his strengths."

"I know this, but you Meng Tianchu has a little bit that Xu Wei doesn't have."

"Hehe, let Master Sima see it, where do I have any advantages."

Sima Ru: "Aside from the identity of your masters, I know what he is good at, and I don't know anything about what you Meng Tianchu is good at, although you don't know much about officialdom, but probably it is this that makes Master Cheng feel that you have less worldly spirit and more simple wisdom, you must know that when you are a big official, sometimes you don't want to be surrounded by flattering people, and the emperor hopes that there are not only clever ministers around him who make him happy, I also hope that there will be more wise and kind people who are willing to speak out, what do you say? Brother Meng. ”

Meng Tianchu saw that this Sima Ru always said half a sentence and left half a sentence when he spoke, and he was secretive, in fact, he wanted to tell himself that this Lord Cheng Ziyi probably appreciated himself, and hoped that he would behave well, and maybe one day he would ascend to the sky like Xu Wei.

At this time, the carriage stopped, and only someone could hear a loud shout: "The master is back." ”

Meng Tianchu jumped out of the car, and then carefully helped Sima Ru, the groom took out a horse stool, and Sima Ru stepped on the horse stool and walked out of the car.

Lao He hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, first humbly bowed to Sima Ru, and then respectfully called Master to Meng Tianchu.

Meng Tianchu arched his hand and said to Sima Ru: "Please also ask Master Sima to go to the hall to rest first, and I will come when I go." ”

Sima Ru naturally knew that Meng Tianchu was going to arrange the evening's affairs, so he said: "Brother Meng doesn't need to care about me, you are busy with you." ”

Meng Tianchu explained a few words to Old He Tou, and then walked out of the inner courtyard first.

Listening to the maids, Xia Fengyi and the others were all in Zuo Jiayin's room, so they walked directly towards Zuo Jiayin's courtyard.

Before he arrived, he heard the child's cry, Meng Tianchu's heart tightened, and he quickened his pace.

As soon as Meng Tianchu approached Zuo Jiayin's bedroom, he saw that the room was so lively, Zuo Jiayin was still lying on the bed, Xia Fengyi, Wen Wen, Feiyan, and the child's nurse were all sitting in the room, when Meng Tianchu came in, the child was no longer crying, only to see the nurse skillfully lift her clothes, show her fair skin, and put the nipple into the child's mouth, because everyone turned their backs to Meng Tianchu, so they didn't care, Meng Tianchu hurriedly coughed twice, everyone heard the voice, and quickly turned around, and the nurse was even more ashamed and blushed. At this time, Meng Tianchu had already turned around.

The nurse hurriedly passed behind Meng Tianchu with the child in her arms, and shouted in a low voice: "Master", Meng Tianchu waited for the nurse's footsteps to be far away, then turned around and walked into the door.
