Dragon Slayer: "Okay, my subordinates understand. ”

Xiaonuo was bored in the house alone, and suddenly heard footsteps outside the door, so he called loudly: "Puppy, are you back?" ”

Meng Tianchu walked outside the door, followed by Slaying Dragon and Jian Ning, a little embarrassed, but still smiled and said, "It's me who is back." ”

As he spoke, Xiao Nuo saw Meng Tianchu, Tu Long and Jian Ning walking into the house.

Meng Tianchu: "Pistachio, how do you know that I'm back?" ”

Xiao Nuo took Meng Tianchu's hand, let him sit beside him, and said, "I can hear your footsteps." ”

Jian Ning and Slaying Dragon were left aside by Xiao Nuo, Meng Tianchu signaled with his eyes that there were still people behind him, Xiao Nuo hurriedly smiled and said to Jian Ning and Slayer Long: "Sister Ning'er, you can also sit." ”

Jian Ning sat down with a smile and said, "I don't think I need to come to see you, there is only one person in your eyes, where can I accommodate your sister Ning'er." ”

Xiao Nuo smiled embarrassedly, but his eyes looked at Meng Tianchu, and said, "Where do I have it, you come to see me, it's too late for me to be happy, really." ”

Jian Ning smiled and said, "It's okay if I'm here to eat, aren't I going to have dinner?" I happened to be almost hungry. ”

Xiao Nuo leaned on Meng Tianchu's ear and whispered, "Didn't you say that no one could tell me about my injury?" What did you tell Sister Ning'er? ”

Meng Tianchu looked at Jian Ning, and it was not easy to explain on the spot, so he said: "Then let's go eat first, I see that Xiaonuo is also hungry." ”

Xiaonuo said, "Okay, then let's go to dinner." ”

Dragon Slayer: "Then how did Miss Xiaonuo go?" ”

Xiao Nuo pointed at Meng Tianchu and said, "Of course, I want Brother Meng to carry me." ”

Jian Ning looked at Meng Tianchu, Meng Tianchu found that there was some provocation and dissatisfaction in her eyes, Meng Tianchu didn't care, turned around and turned his back to Xiaonuo, and said to the maid at the door: "Go and say to my family." Let's just say I won't go over to eat. Don't wait for me. ”

The maid smiled and said, "If you go back to Lord Meng, my lord and lady have already invited your four ladies to come over, saying that you are taking office today." It's a good day, and it just so happens that Miss Yin is here, and she hasn't picked up the wind, so let's have a meal together tonight. ”

Meng Tianchu sighed, and Xiao Nuo said, "Then let's hurry over." ”

Meng Tianchu carried Xiao Nuo on his back, Jian Ning and Dragon Slayer walked behind, Xiao Nuo said in a low voice: "What I asked you just now, you haven't told me yet." ”

Meng Tianchu turned his head and whispered, "I didn't say it. I don't know how she knows, really. ”

Xiao Nuo twisted Meng Tianchu's ears slightly, and happened to be clearly seen by Jian Ning on the side, she smiled lightly, and said, "Fortunately, I saw it, if I let others see it, it is not good for a dignified prefect to let a little girl twist her ears and spread it." Xiaonuo smiled: "So what? Meng Tianchu is my eldest brother, and my sister and brother are playing around, so what's so good or bad about it. ”

Jian Ning sneered. said: "Why can't I see that my brother and sister are playing, but it looks like two men and women are flirting." ”

Meng Tianchu was a little angry when he heard this, today this Jian Ning seems to have eaten a fire leaf, why is every sentence thorny?

Xiao Nuo's face turned red all of a sudden, and he hated Jian Ning. Seeing Jian Ning snickering, she thought about it, Jian Ning was so good to herself on weekdays, no different from her own sister, and she couldn't bear to hurt her. After all, everyone knows that this girl has a hard time during this time. Thinking of this, Xiaonuo only smiled slightly. didn't reply, seeing Meng Tianchu's angry appearance, he gently pressed it on his shoulder, Meng Tianchu naturally understood, and didn't speak, Jian Ning saw his words, none of them refuted, so he became even more proud, and said, "What does your silence represent?" ”

Xiao Nuo said lightly: "I'm too lazy to explain to you, I'm hungry, Brother Meng go faster." ”

Meng Tianchu muttered, his steps quickened, and he threw Jian Ning and Dragon Slayer behind.

Xiao Nuo saw that Jian Ning and Slayer Dragon didn't follow, so he whispered, "Sister Ning'er, did you eat Huojiao today?" ”

Meng Tianchu smiled and said, "Fortunately, you reminded me, otherwise I would have been unable to help but talk back." ”

Xiaonuo chuckled: "It's better to bear with it, Sister Ning'er's recent life at home must be like years, who told her to meet such a snobbish father?" ”

Meng Tianchu nodded, turned around a long corridor, and saw the dining room in the front yard, they heard a burst of laughter, Xiao Nuo said: "I heard it, it seems to be Sister Feiyan's voice." ”

Meng Tianchu: "Yes, I heard it too." ”

The two of them happily came to the dining room, leaving Jian Ning and Dragon Slayer behind.

Everyone was happy, and when they saw Meng Tianchu carrying Xiaonuo into the dining room, they quickly got up to make way for them.

Mrs. Cheng happily helped Xiaonuo from Meng Tianchu's back to the position, and said, "Look at you, you Brother Meng is sweating again, Tianchu, you should take a break." ”

Meng Tianchu saw that Mrs. Cheng hadn't called her name for a long time, and it seemed that she was in a good mood today.

Meng Tianchu hurriedly said: "It's okay, Xiaonuo is my sister, these are nothing, and..."

Meng Tianchu hadn't finished speaking, only to see Cheng Ziyi step forward and pat him on the shoulder to interrupt his words, and said: "Okay, it's all over, don't say it anymore, it's rare for us to get together, today is the first day you take office, and I heard that for this reason, Long Live Lord also specially sent Gonggong Song to congratulate him, did he kill the prestige of those officials?" ”

Meng Tianchu smiled and didn't speak, Cheng Ziyi put his arm around Meng Tianchu's shoulders and sat down beside him affectionately, and then said to Mrs. Cheng: "Okay, let's start, you let someone go and call Miss Yin." Mrs. Cheng hurriedly went to ask someone to call Yin Susu, at this time Jian Ning walked in, Cheng Ziyi saw it, and immediately said with a smile: "It's really lively today, I didn't expect Ning'er to come too, I was about to eat, so hurry up and sit next to Xiaonuo." ”

Meng Tianchu saw Jian Ning smile slightly and gave a salute to Cheng Ziyi and Mrs. Cheng, and sat down next to Xiao Nuo, but the change in Cheng Ziyi's face at the moment when Jian Ning entered the door made Meng Tianchu see it in his eyes, although Cheng Ziyi quickly smiled. But he still couldn't hide Meng Tianchu's sharp eyes. Cheng Ziyi's eyes clearly flashed with a hint of kindness and something that had nothing to do with kindness, what it was, Meng Tianchu didn't know.

After a while, Yin Susu came. It was still a white lichen skirt, there was no smile on her face, as if she was out of place with anyone, only Xiao Nuo saw it, and affectionately beckoned Yin Susu to sit next to her, Yin Susu only gave Cheng Ziyi and Mrs. Cheng a salute, and then looked at the people on the table indifferently, and when she saw Meng Tianchudi, she actually moved the corners of her mouth. Only then sit down.

Next to Meng Tianchu was Xia Fengyi, and the four ladies sat in turn.

After Cheng Ziyi saw that everyone was done, he raised his glass and said: "I will gather everyone together today, first, to congratulate Tianchu on the appointment of the new official, the emperor's grace is vast, I hope that Tianchu will show his ambitions in the future, serve the emperor and the imperial court." Come, let everyone raise a glass to Tianchu. ”

Everyone got up, except for Xiaonuo, they raised a glass to congratulate Meng Tianchu, and Meng Tianchu thanked them one by one. After everyone sat down, Xiao Nuo said, "Dad." And what about the second thing? ”

Cheng Ziyi smiled and said: "Second, it is the meaning of long live the master, that is, to ask the Yin family's cottage owner Yin Susu Yin to teach my family Xiaonuo martial arts, although Miss Yin is a daughter's family." But Wencai martial arts are not inferior to men at all. Today, taking this opportunity, the old body also hurried Miss Yin for Xiaonuo. ”

Yin Susu hurriedly got up. Said: "Lord Cheng is serious, thanks to the love of Lord Long Live and Lord Cheng, the grass people are just a martial artist, how can he de, since I am asked to teach Xiaonuo, I will do my best, this glass of wine is still I respect Lord Cheng, Mrs. Cheng and Miss Xiaonuo." ”

Mrs. Cheng hurriedly got up and said, "No, no, absolutely not." ”

Xiaonuo also said anxiously: "Master, no, originally I was going to kneel on the ground today to toast you with this glass of wine, as the saying goes, one day is a teacher, a lifetime is a father, you are my master, how can I let you toast me?" By no means, didn't you kill me? ”

Yin Susu raised his glass but didn't know what to say, then Meng Tianchu got up and said, "Since Xiaonuo has said so, why don't you dead people raise a glass and drink the wine in the cup together?" ”

Cheng Ziyi smiled and agreed, Yin Susu looked at Meng Tianchu and said, "Then in this case, shouldn't Master Meng also drink this glass of wine with us?" ”

Meng Tianchu was puzzled, and Yin Susu said: "Since you are Xiaonuo's eldest brother, then Lord Cheng and Mrs. Cheng are also your uncles and aunts, since they are a family, where is the reason not to drink together?" ”

Everyone was stunned, and Xiao Nuo said with a smile: "What the master said is, then in this way, Brother Meng's four wives will also drink together, they are all my sisters-in-law." ”

Cheng Ziyi smiled and said, "Speaking of the land, since we live under the same roof, we should be a family, okay, let's get up and toast together." ”

Everyone got up with a smile and raised their wine glasses, Xiao Nuo saw Jian Ning sitting, and said, "Sister Ning'er, what are you doing sitting here?" Everyone got up. ”

Jian Ning hadn't spoken yet, but Cheng Ziyi said with a smile: "Just let Ning'er rest for a while, it's good for the little girl's family to drink less alcohol, let's drink." ”

Meng Tianchu glanced at Cheng Ziyi and saw that although he was smiling, there was a cold light in his eyes.

After everyone drank the second glass of wine, Mrs. Cheng said with a smile: "It's rare for everyone to get together for a meal, although we live in a courtyard, but it seems that we don't have time, in the future, we still have to walk around more." ”

Everyone said yes.

Feiyan said: "Everyone hurry up and move the chopsticks, there are two dishes on this table today that I and Master Cheng made by ourselves, guess it." ”

When everyone heard this, they all looked at the table, and Cheng Ziyi said: "Don't worry, don't worry, I still have one more thing to say." ”

Mrs. Cheng looked at Cheng Ziyi and said, "Why don't you talk about it another day, today..." Cheng Ziyi waved his hand and said, "Such a good thing, of course, let everyone be happy together." ”

Cheng Ziyi hadn't said anything yet, but he saw the housekeeper standing at the door and said humbly: "My lord, I'm sorry, there is a person from Renhe County at the door..."

Before the housekeeper finished speaking, Cheng Ziyi waved his hand impatiently and said, "What a mess, it's time to eat." And who is going to bother. Whoever asked him to go back said that Lord Ben would not see anyone today, and that there was a guest at home. ”

The housekeeper looked at Meng Tianchu, and Meng Tianchu quickly got up and said, "I think it's coming to me." I'll go and I'll be back soon. ”

Cheng Ziyi was a little unhappy, so he said: "What is so anxious, it's not too late to let him come again tomorrow." ”

Meng Tianchu thought that he had asked Wang Yida to come all the way to the place, and now it was not good for the family to go back, worried that people would play tricks on others if they said that he was an official, thinking of this, Meng Tianchu still said: "I will come back immediately, and it will be a blink of an eye." ”

What else does Cheng Ziyi have to say. I saw Xiaonuo say: "Dad, if someone Meng has something, let the family do a good job first, and everyone is waiting outside, if Brother Meng doesn't go, people should say behind their backs that Master Meng is putting up a fight." ”

Cheng Ziyi saw that what Xiaonuo said was right, so he let Meng Tianchu go.

Meng Tianchu walked quickly to the gate and saw Wang Yi waiting in the foyer. Then he stepped forward and said, "I'm really sorry to keep you waiting." ”

Wang Yi said with a smile: "Where is Meng Ye's words, I didn't wait long. ”

Meng Tianchu took Wang Yi to the courtyard, and the two of them talked as they walked.

"Master Meng, have you gone to Hangzhou Mansion to take office today?"

Meng Tianchu nodded. Said: "I have already repaired a book and asked Lord Cai for you, I think you will be able to come to Hangzhou Mansion soon." ”

Wang Yi hurriedly thanked him and said, "I thought that Meng Ye had forgotten about this matter, Wang thanked you here." ”

Meng Tianchu patted Wang Yidi on the shoulder. "What are the thanks for working together for many years?" ”

Wang Yi smiled. said: "By the way, Meng Ye must have something urgent to come to me, right?" ”

Meng Tianchu leaned over to Wang Yi's ear and whispered a few words. Wang Yi was stunned and said, "Is it so mysterious?" We can do it..."

Meng Tianchu interrupted Wang Yidi's words and whispered: "I didn't even tell Chai Meng, Slaying Long and Xiaonuo about this matter, I only told you one person, I just don't want to expand the matter, you go to check first, and tell me as soon as you have the result." ”

Wang Yi nodded solemnly and said, "Master Meng, please rest assured, I, Wang Yi, will do something, and you will wait for the good news at home." ”

"Remember, don't let the slightest word slip away, you know?"

"Meng Ye, don't worry, it won't."

"Okay, everything is please, don't go to the yamen in a few days, I'll find someone to tell Master Cai that it's enough, just say that you've come to me on an errand."

"Okay, then I'm leaving."

"Okay, I won't keep you, Lord Cheng will have a banquet at home today, and I can't leave for too long."

Wang Yi took two steps, turned around, looked around, and then whispered: "I heard that Lord Cheng was recently sued, and now Long Live Lord is sending someone to investigate him." ”

Meng Tianchu's heart sank, and he said, "Who did you listen to?" ”

Wang Yi: "I only knew when I heard the brothers chatting like this, saying that someone wrote a letter to Cheng Ziyi to complain about the silver taels who were greedy for ink to build the embankment, and Long Live Lord had already sent someone down to pay an unannounced visit." ”

Meng Tianchu felt that it was a little unlikely, so he said: "Isn't the silver tael for the construction of the embankment a special silver tael given to the local government every year?" Don't talk nonsense. ”

Wang Yi whispered: "It is precisely because it is a special silver tael, so it will be won as soon as it is sued." ”

Meng Tianchu: "Since it is a special project, it should be in charge of our Hangzhou Mansion, how can it be related to the Governor's Mansion?" ”

Wang Yi smiled and said, "Then I don't know, you probably go back and check the account books of your mansion." ”

Meng Tianchu nodded, did not speak, and after sending Wang Yi away, Meng Tianchu walked back, thinking about what Wang Yi said before as he walked.

When I walked to the door of the dining room and looked up, I saw that the dining room was empty, I thought I had made a mistake, and I took a few steps back and looked again, there was nothing wrong, what about this person? Meng Tianchu was wondering, and when he saw Yin Susu passing in front of him, he called out to her.

"Miss Yin, what about people?"

Yin Susu looked at Meng Tianchu expressionlessly and said, "Disperse." After finishing speaking, he was about to leave, Meng Tianchu hurriedly asked, "Dispersed so soon?" ”

Yin Susu: "Yes" and left.

Meng Tianchu was puzzled, and decided to go to Xiaonuo to ask, and suddenly Yin Susu said behind his back, "My lord, let's go back to my own east courtyard first, Xiaonuo is probably in her mother's room now." ”

When Meng Tianchu heard this, he turned around and went back to the East Courtyard.
