Mei Xiaoren's face was calm, he didn't smile or worry, and this etiquette was extraordinarily sincere.

Last night, the people in the hall were either looking forward to her life, or they stayed out of the matter to watch the jokes, and only Jiang Rong was trying his best to intercede for her.

No matter what Jiang Ei said or begged for His Majesty, she wanted to save her life, all she had to do was thank her, thank her face-to-face, not just let people bring words enough.

"Do you know where my master is?" Ei asked with a frown, but his tone was almost soft. Even if she was deliberately drawing a line between them, he couldn't complain.

Mei Xiaoren looked at Gu Chuyu. After last night, the life and death of the bishop is no longer a secret, and it should not matter if Jiang Rong meets him.

Gu Chuyu nodded in agreement and ordered Xingyun to prepare the car.

The county seat on the outskirts of Beijing.

The place where they came was still the school of the county school, but Bishop Zhou did not become a gentleman again after returning from Xuanzhou, but lived in a small courtyard behind the county school, making friends with chess and books every day, and living a transcendent life.

When they walked outside the courtyard, they saw Bishop Zhou playing chess in the shade of a tree in the courtyard, and he was still studying a chess game in his hand.

"Master."

Ei's voice made Bishop Zhou stunned.

Before Bishop Zhou raised his head, Mei Xiaoren had already pulled Chu Yu to stand behind the wall on the side, leaving Jiang Ei in front of the independent door.

"Your Highness......"

Perhaps too surprised and delighted, Bishop Zhou's voice trembled a little.

Jiang Rong smiled, walked in quickly, walked in front of the teacher and bowed, "The student meets the master." ”

"Your Highness, please get up." Bishop Zhou also smiled, Fu Jiang stood up, looked at him carefully from top to bottom, and nodded with satisfaction, "Your Highness is well, and the minister will rest assured." ”

Jiang Rong couldn't help complaining: "Master, you and I haven't seen each other for several years, but let me find it!" ”

Bishop Zhou turned his eyes to look outside the door, saw no one else, and asked puzzledly, "How does Your Highness know that the minister is here?" ”

Jiang Rong also glanced back, sighed that some people were quite knowledgeable, and did not disturb their reunion between master and apprentice, so he said: "The whole world is not the king's land, as long as the master is alive, no matter where Gu Xiangshi is hiding, I can find it." ”

Although Bishop Zhou was already outside the temple, he was still worried about Jiang Rong's situation in the court, and sighed: "Your Highness can come to see the minister, the minister is very happy, now the minister can see His Highness There are not many opportunities, see less once, some ministers have to tell His Highness." ”

Jiang Rong helped the master to sit down together, and said respectfully, "Master, please speak." ”

"Now that the power is falling, the world is unfair, Your Highness must know how to protect oneself, if necessary, you can endure humiliation and burden, and you can also compromise and seek perfection, but you must not do evil, you must have good thoughts in your heart, and you must not drift away from the world."

The voice came outside the wall, and Mei Xiaoren said with a low smile: "Lord Bishop is still like this, no matter which student he sees, he will tell the students to be good people and good officials. ”

Gu Chuyu said: "Although Zhou Xun is old-fashioned and stubborn in abiding by etiquette, he is upright, honest and honest, and has his own bottom line. ”

"No wonder the Bishop used to oppose the Prime Minister's Mansion, and you only sent him to the Academy."

"He's a competent gentleman, and it's okay to be Jiang Ei's master, Jiang Rong is not very smart, but at least he has no evil thoughts."

"Not only is there no evil thoughts, I once felt that His Highness had some kindness and justice too much, especially when he dealt with me as a corrupt official." Mei Xiaoren smiled on his lips. She is not a person who only knows nostalgia for the past, and she is uncomfortable and confused for a while, since she can't go back, it is better to look forward.

In the courtyard, Jiang Rong arched his hand and said: "Students must remember the teachings of the master, have good thoughts, and will not be in the same stream with anyone." ”

"Gu Xiang, can you embarrass you on weekdays?"

Jiang Rong turned his face and couldn't help sneering: "He didn't embarrass me, but he embarrassed you, master, he actually asked you to go all the way to Xuanzhou to propose to him!" ”

"This matter is not allowed to be spread by the Prime Minister Gu to anyone, how does His Highness know?" Bishop Zhou was puzzled.

"Master, do you know who that girl is?"

"It's the daughter of a businessman, and when the minister knew about it, he also thought it was surprising that Gu Xiang would secretly marry the daughter of a Xuanzhou businessman as his wife, which is really puzzling, after all, Gu Fu is the number one among the powerful families in Daning."

"I heard that you were also so picky about your family background at the beginning, and you wanted to turn away a Xuanzhou student from the Shu clan."

When Bishop Zhou heard Jiang Rong mention this matter, he couldn't help but laugh and asked: "Is Mei Xiaoren okay, except for His Royal Highness, he is the most reassuring minister, he is from the Shu clan, and he has no relatives and friends to support him in Beijing, so the road is much more difficult than that of other officials." ”

"It was good before yesterday, and it was good to be the Yin Dang of the Beijing Mansion, but as for today's ......" Jiang Rong turned his head and sighed, "Master, look at it yourself." ”

Mei Xiaoren was still standing behind the wall, Jiang Rong's words were undoubtedly asking her to go out, she moved to the door, and she was not the only one who showed up.

She appeared in front of the courtyard gate with Gu Chuyu, and Bishop Zhou, who was still very talkative just now, was suddenly silenced.

Bishop Zhou hurriedly got up and saluted: "I have seen the Prime Minister. ”

At first, he guessed that His Royal Highness would not find this place by himself, but he didn't expect that it was Gu Xiang who personally led the way, and he didn't recognize who the woman next to Gu Xiang was.

Gu Chuyu said lightly: "Zhou Xun, your true appearance made you meet King Yu, and you didn't even say a word of thanks?" ”

Bishop Zhou maintained a saluting posture, "Thank you for your humble position, Prime Minister." ”

"Speaking of which, I have to thank you, thank you, although you swore not to be with the prime minister, but you worked tirelessly to propose a marriage for the prime minister, and handed over your proud protégé to the prime minister."

Zhou Xun was stunned, still burying his head, very confused: "Proud protégé? ”

Mei Xiaoren waved his hand, "Lord Bishop." ”

Zhou Xun heard the sound and looked up at her, still confused: "Madam is a lowly ......" After looking at it a few times, before he finished speaking, he had already recognized who this person was.

"Mei Xiaoren?" Bishop Zhou was shocked.

Mei Xiaoren nodded, "Master, it's the student." ”

"This ......" Bishop Zhou was incredulous, and turned to look at Jiang Ei, "Your Highness, this ......"

Jiang Rong was already indignant, if he hadn't been anxious to see if his master was okay, if he hadn't promised his father not to leave Shangjing, he should really find a place to be quiet and quiet alone.

Gu Chuyu raised his hand and grabbed Mei Xiaoren's waist, and said expressionlessly: "The wedding date between Benxiang and Xiao Xiao is scheduled for early winter, and someone will pick you up to watch the ceremony." ”

Before Bishop Zhou could ask more, the whole person froze, and he didn't say a word for a long time.

Mei Xiaoren couldn't help laughing, she always felt that Chu Yu didn't seem to be thanking the matchmaker, but like she was deliberately blocking others, and intended to "revenge" the bishop who had kept her away from the Prime Minister's Mansion.
