Additional Announcements:

It's been a long time since I've asked for a monthly pass, mainly because I was busy with work some time ago and the update was not normal, and now it's completely back to normal updates. So, the wood here cheekily begged for a monthly pass.

While the 8,000 words of the two shifts per day remain the same, from now on, for every 30 additional votes in the monthly pass, a chapter (4,000 words) will be added to the wood, and no word will be broken!

Please vote to encourage support. Thank you!

——————————————————————————

Someone in the hall was secretly laughing, and probably now I realized that the young man who everyone had been guessing was just a little master of the county yamen.

But no one dared to laugh out loud, because no matter how good this person was, he was also named by Jian Qi to sit at the main table, maybe there was some reason, besides, they didn't dare to make a mistake if they didn't look at the face of the monk and the face of the Buddha, and for the sake of the face of Jian Bu's political envoy.

Meng Tianchu was a little confused by the second monk, he couldn't understand why this woman always wanted to target herself, and she didn't sin against her after she came in. Now listening to this woman sneering again, he sat there stiffly, and kept telling himself in his heart, don't be angry with this woman, you must not be angry with women, but the fire in his stomach has rushed to the top of his head, if it weren't for the prefect's invitation today, and the political envoy of Youbu is still sitting beside him, he is afraid that he will not care about anything for a long time, and he has already stepped forward to teach that woman a lesson.

Jian Qi said: "Okay, Xiaorou, Master Meng didn't provoke you, why do you have to target others?" I think this guy is very good. Don't be unreasonable, if it weren't for the fact that you were a woman, people wouldn't sit here and say nothing. ”

The woman sneered twice and said, "I don't speak, probably because I don't have anything to say, that's the reason, he didn't provoke me." But he's provoking me by sitting here. Because the first time I saw him, I started to get sick! ”

Meng Tianchu stood up with a sigh of relief, and arched his hand to Jian Qi and Ke Qian next to him: "Two adults, the late life will retire first!" , I hope that adults will not be surprised if they are rude. With that, he stood up and walked past the woman with his head up. Meng Tianchu knew that if he didn't leave. He was afraid that he would hit someone.

Ke Qian caught up and whispered: "Virtuous nephew, don't blame you, I originally kindly called you here, but now it's like this." ”

Meng Tianchu said: "Master Ke doesn't have to be like this, it is rude to be born late, please bear with me." ”

Ke Qian sighed and looked back at the woman with a triumphant smile. Looking at Jian Qi again, he saw that he was also helpless, so he had to return to his seat and watch Meng Tianchu brush his sleeves away.

Meng Tianchu returned home, his anger had not subsided, and it was the first time he had been angry with a woman in public. The most cowardly thing is that I can't teach that girl a lesson.

The four women were sitting in the gazebo talking and drinking tea, and when they saw Meng Tianchu walking in menacingly, they also talked to them, but walked straight towards their study.

Feiyan said, "Young Master, what's wrong?" ”

Xia Fengyi watched him walk in the door with some worry, closed the door hatefully, and said, "I've never seen him lose his temper so much, didn't he go to the prefect of Hangzhou to drink?" How so? ”

Murong Xue said: "I think it's because I went to those self-righteous official places in that kind of place, and I made him angry." ”

Zuo Jiayin shook his head. Stand up. said: "Since it was the prefect of Hangzhou who personally sent a post to invite him, those officials would be afraid of the prefect's ground even if they didn't look at his face." Probably not. ”

Xia Fengyi said: "Jiayin, why don't you go and take a look, he has always listened to your persuasion." ”

"Forget it, let's not go for the time being, he's angry now, wait for him to be a little angry, and then ask what the situation is. ”

Feiyan said, "I'll go find a piece of red paper." ”

Xia Fengyi said: "What are you looking for red paper for?" ”

"My eyelids kept jumping when I woke up early this morning, and I still found a red paper to paste, why do I always feel panicked. Feiyan got up and walked out of the gazebo.

It was already completely dark, Meng Tianchu finally walked out of the room, walked to the dining room and saw that everyone was still waiting for him, so he smiled reluctantly and sat down in his place.

None of the four women dared to speak first, they all looked at Meng Tianchu cautiously, Meng Tianchu saw their appearance, so he smiled and said, "What are you looking at?" Skip meals. ”

Xia Fengyi picked out his favorite braised pork ribs for him and put it in his bowl, and said softly, "Hungry, eat more." ”

Meng Tianchu knew that they were worried about themselves, but he felt a little guilty, it was not the four beloved women around him who provoked him, so why let them worry about themselves?

Meng Tianchu said with a smile: "Don't worry, I don't have anything to do, it's all over, let's eat." ”

When everyone saw his appearance, it didn't seem to be perfunctory, so they picked up the bowl and ate with peace of mind.

The next day, Meng Tianchu got up early in the morning, he was going to do business today, how the door of the case was closed last time, and he hadn't figured it out, so he decided to call Zhu Hao and Murong Zhenxue to go to the scene to check after dinner.

When he came to the Yamen, Lao Yuan saw Cai Zhao standing there with a worried face, looking at himself, he walked over with a smile, and said with a smile: "Dong Weng, so early?" Why don't you sleep in? ”

Cai Zhao arched his hand and said guiltily: "Alas, Wansheng has always wanted to apologize to Mr., I was not good yesterday, I shouldn't have let you go with me, let you suffer from that little girl's anger, I didn't see you yesterday, and I worried about it for a day." ”

Meng Tianchu said: "It's not your fault, I've forgotten it, so don't take it to heart." ”

Cai Zhao looked at Meng Tianchu, saw him looking at himself with a smile, and said, "Yes, don't be like that, but fortunately, we can't see it." It's good to forget, it's good to forget. Okay, you go and get busy, I'll go back to sleep. ”

Meng Tianchu smiled: "I thought you got up early to exercise." ”

Cai Zhao shook his fat buttocks, and said as he walked: "I'm old, what else do I exercise, and everything is not as comfortable as my bed." ”

Meng Tianchu took the two of them out of the yamen. As soon as he got into the carriage, Meng Tianchu saw his housekeeper running over in a hurry.

"Less...... Master. Something happened at home. ”

Meng Tianchu was taken aback, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" ”

The housekeeper panted and said, "No..... it's not that something happened at home." ”

Meng Tianchu said: "Don't worry, you confused me, what's wrong?" ”

The housekeeper took a breath and said, "As soon as you left, a group of people came to the house, saying that they were sent by the capital. Let you go back. ”

Capital? Meng Tianchu was taken aback, could it be that the hot springs were sent? Asked, "Male or female?" ”

"It's a man, as if he was still a eunuch. ”

Oh? It seems that he has already guessed that he is not far from ten, Meng Tianchu hurriedly returned home, only to see Xia Fengyi talking to a person in the hall, and when he saw Meng Tianchu coming in, they all got up to greet him.

Although this man was dressed in civilian clothes, it was still clear from his face that he was indeed a eunuch. Fair skin. She doesn't have a beard on her chin and behaves like a woman.

The eunuch smiled and said, "Lord Meng, how are you doing?" ”

Only the people of the hot springs would call themselves that, so there must be something going on with the hot springs. Meng Tianchu hurriedly bowed down and replied, "Thanks to you, it's okay." Then he smiled and invited the other party to sit down and talk.

The man sat down and pulled a letter out of his bosom. handed it to Meng Tianchu and said, "Our family is a subordinate of Master Wen, surnamed Li." ”

"Oh~! It turned out to be Grandpa Li! Disrespectful! Meng Tianchu arched his hand.

"Well said, well said! Hehe, Lord Wen has always been very concerned about Lord Meng, and this time I made a special trip to send a letter to my lord. ”

Meng Tianchu took the letter with both hands, tore it open, and a piece of paper fell out of it, and he hurriedly grabbed it, but it was 10,000 taels of silver tickets. 10,000 taels of silver, that's equivalent to 1 million yuan. The hot springs give themselves money for drugs. It has always been through the East Factory financial transfer place, obviously. This money is certainly not the cost of drugs, but I don't know why I need to use such a huge amount of money.

Meng Tianchu shook the envelope, and found that there was a letter inside, took it out and unfolded it, the letter was very short, except for some polite words, the real content was very brief, but it was enough to make Meng Tianchu's face pale, and his hands were trembling.

Gonggong Li and Xia Fengyi were both startled, only to see Meng Tianchu with a blue face, they didn't know what was going on, and no one dared to speak.

Originally, the tea that arrived when he met the guests was not drunk, but Meng Tianchu knew that if there was nothing to suppress the fire in his heart, he was afraid that he would have a seizure on the spot. Suddenly picked up the teacup on the table, drank it dry in one gulp, slammed the cup on the table, and asked Gonggong Li in a deep voice, "What about people?" ”

Gonggong Li replied cautiously: "Then it will be there." ”

Meng Tianchu gritted his teeth and didn't say a word.

Xia Fengyi stepped forward and asked cautiously, "What's wrong with you?" Is something big going on? ”

Meng Tianchu didn't answer, and walked back and forth in the living room with the letter behind his back a few times, and then stood suddenly, at this time, his face had returned to his naturalness, he smiled, and said to Gonggong Li: "Gonggong Li, I bother you to go back and report to Master Wen, just say that the things assigned by his old man will definitely be done, please rest assured that his old man." ”

Gonggong Li hurriedly bowed down and agreed.

Meng Tianchu asked Xia Fengyi to bring a hundred taels of silver to Gonggong Li.

Father-in-law Li naturally smiled and left happily with the silver.

After sending off Gonggong Li, Meng Tianchu returned to the hall, pondered for a moment, and said to Xia Fengyi: "Call all the people in the family over, I have something to explain to you, including Zhu Hao and his wife, as well as Miss Murong." ”

Xia Fengyi nodded and hurried to go.

Half an hour later.

A carriage came to Meng Tianchu's door. First came down a person who looked like a maid, and then came down an old mother, this old woman looked sideways, not tall, but not small, like a bucket, got out of the car and looked around slowly, and then looked at the door of Meng's house, the door was open, but no one came out, and then said to the car: "Miss, didn't you let Gonggong Li report in advance?" How can no one come out to meet you? ”

There was a heavy snort in the car.

The old woman bowed down and took a few steps back, and then walked to the door of Meng Tianchu's mansion menacingly, only to find that there was a porter sitting on a chair napping in the door. The old mother went up and slapped the porter in the ear. The porter was beaten so that he fell to the ground with a chair, his face was hot and painful, and he got up and looked at it, and found that it was an ugly and old woman, and before he could ask, the old mother had already pointed to her nose and scolded: "Open your dog's eyes, my young lady is here, why don't you hurry up and call your master to come out to greet you, if it's slow, see if I don't break your dog's legs!" ”

This gatehouse is actually the fan of Hangzhou Dongchang, acting as the gatehouse as Meng Tianchu's housekeeper, for Dongchang Fanzi, he has always bullied others, which round to be bullied, and for a long time, no one dared to come to Mengfu to make trouble, so he was also a little lazy, and suddenly was slapped by the old woman, and suddenly became angry, and was about to ask who this young lady was, but he didn't expect the old mother to stretch out her hand and slap it again.

This time he also has kung fu, otherwise it would not be his turn to be Meng Tian's guard, this time he was on guard, dodged away, and then flew up and kicked the old mother out of the door, only to hear a muffled sound, and saw the ground at the door, as if half of the dead pork had fallen out of thin air, and almost didn't smash a hole in the ground.

"Ouch, kill someone~!" The old mother wailed repeatedly.

At this time, the people in the car finally got out of the car, but it was a young woman dressed gorgeously, with light steps, looked at the old woman, frowned, and said, "Get up, don't embarrass me here." Then he walked up the steps of the Meng Mansion.

The porter just now saw that the momentum was not right, so he ran in to report it.

The woman walked straight in, looking at the pavilions on both sides all the way, and saw that the flowers and plants in the yard were growing very well, thinking that someone was carefully taking care of them on weekdays, but the yard was empty, and she seemed to be playing empty city tricks with herself.

She smiled coldly, turned to the old woman who was screaming to herself, and said, "Move everything in for me, and find the best yard to put it." ”。.。
