Mei Xiaoren didn't answer for a long time, and looked in that direction, thinking that this place was thousands of miles away from Shangjing.

"Your Excellency?" Ye Zhi shouted again.

Mei Xiaoren turned his head at this time, his eyes fell on the letter in his hand, slowly reached out to take it, and opened it carelessly.

Ye Zhi was puzzled: "What's wrong with my lord, is it reluctant to His Highness?" ”

Mei Xiaoren shook his head. Ye Zhi didn't know what happened between her and Chu Yu before, but now he naturally didn't know that Lord Chu was not Lord Chu.

Jiang Rong said in the letter that there was a parting gift for her, put it at Lao Li's place, and let her pick it up herself.

Mei Xiaoren left from the dock and took Ye Zhi to the mansion.

Ye Zhi said with a smile on the road: "My lord has solved a big case in only three days this time, and I think the court will have a reward for Zhaoxue for the prefect." ”

Mei Xiaoren just squeezed out a light smile and didn't say anything. She knows very well that she has a few pounds and taels, and she solves the case in three days, and the credit is not hers.

She had gone to see the cuckoo's body that day, and the cuckoo was covered in wounds, tortured and interrogated at the sight, and was already dying when he was thrown to the dock.

A person who was so badly injured could still write a letter from prison, escaped from prison, and was found by her so coincidentally......

In fact, he set a limit of ten days, but on the third day he fulfilled her.

Mei Xiaoren came to the mansion, and from the moment she entered the door, the people she met along the way were smiling and saying congratulations to her. She didn't understand very much, but later she saw Lao Li in Lao Li's study, and he also looked at her with a spring breeze on his face.

Mei Xiaoren asked in confusion: "My lord, His Royal Highness King Yu said that he has something to put here for you?" ”

Governor Li took out a delicate wooden box from the cabinet and handed it to Mei Xiaoren, and said with a smile: "Take a look." ”

Mei Xiaoren opened the wooden box, and there was a document inside, such a document that she had seen before, so that when she saw it, her eyes were already full of surprise.

Governor Li stroked his beard and sighed: "Although the old man is reluctant to let you go, this is your due future, so go boldly with confidence." ”

What Mei Xiaoren was holding in her hand was a book of orders, and she opened it, and a few lines of small words caught her eye, making her eyes widen in disbelief.

"His Royal Highness King Yu said that this is what the Duke of Wei asked the Queen Mother and His Majesty for you, so you have to cherish it, and when you arrive in the capital, remember to go to the Duke of Wei's Mansion to visit the Lord Guogong."

Mei Xiaoren looked up at Lao Li in a daze, and pinched her thigh with the hand hanging by her side, so painful that she took a breath, knowing that she was not dreaming this time.

"The old man lived to this age and was still a prefect, and you sat on the seat of Shangjing Mansion at the age of nineteen, and you are on an equal footing with the old man, and you have a bright future, Lord Mei." Governor Li quipped.

Mei Xiaoren looked down at the order again, it was indeed her name written on it, and the official position was indeed Shangjing Mansion, a Beijing official of the fourth grade.

"Let you jump from the sixth grade to the fourth grade, I think it took a lot of effort for Lord Guogong, and in the future, you must listen to Lord Guogong and be a virtuous minister like him."

"I ......" Mei Xiaoren frowned, "This ......"

Mei Xiaoren spoke incoherently, and after a while, a slight smile appeared on his face. This was really news that she didn't know whether to be happy or anxious.

She wanted to go to Beijing in the past, but she was not ready to go at all, she thought that after Wei Guogong refused last time, there should be no follow-up, who knows, Lord Guogong actually begged the Queen Mother for her, and the Queen Mother went to ask Your Majesty again......

With such a big personal favor, how can she pay it back?

"Come to my house for a light meal tonight, just treat it as a practice for you, and leave tomorrow."

Mei Xiaoren bit her lower lip and couldn't help complaining: "My lord, you do this every time, but if you let me go, I can't wait for me to disappear from your eyes immediately." ”

Governor Li took out the booklet in her hand, patted her head with a "snap", squinted at her and said: "Nonsense, the old man is looking forward to you going to take office early and running for the future, what are you doing in Xuanzhou?" If you really want to stay, then the old man will repair a letter to reject Wei Guogong for you. ”

Mei Xiaoren took back the call order and held it in his arms and shook his head.

Governor Li smiled, and suddenly felt a little helpless: "As for Qingqing......"

Mei Xiaoren hurriedly said: "Qingqing is a good girl, I can't hurt her." She continued to explain, "Don't hide it from your lordship, since the last time Gao Jingshu mentioned that the humble position was from a person's background, the humble position has been worried in his heart, my lord, you also know that the fame is not mine, in case someone finds out in the future, I am afraid that I will be cleared." ”

"What about you, aren't you afraid?"

Mei Xiaoren lowered his eyes and said, "Since I dare to do this, I am ready to take risks, but I can't affect others, especially you and your family." ”

"Relax, the old man was looking for reliable people back then, and he did it safely, and few people knew." Governor Li also said, "What's more, you have the support of Wei Guogong, how could Lord Guogong let you have an accident, he cultivated you like this, he must hope that you can assist His Royal Highness King Yu in the future, and when King Yu ascends the throne, you will be the minister of Shoufu, who else dares to talk about this matter at that time?" ”

Ranked as the first auxiliary ...... These four words are far away......

When Mei Xiaoren was secretly dreaming, Governor Li sighed: "That's it, since you have a shallow relationship with Qingqing, it is inconvenient for the old man to say anything." ”

In the evening, Mei Xiaoren took Ye Zhi to the Li Mansion for a banquet.

During the banquet, Lao Li mentioned her new official position to her. Shangjing Mansion Cheng is the adjutant of the Shangjing Prefecture Bureau, not the boss of the yamen, because there is also a boss called Shangjing Mansion Yin.

Mei Xiaoren, the official position of Shangjing Mansion Yin, is not unfamiliar, because she knows Tao Ze'an, the grandson of Shangjing Mansion Yin, who is the son of Wu Xian and Wen Bin all day long, simple-minded, and almost took a sword from Su Li.

I didn't expect that there would be such a fate between their classmates.

Today's dinner Lao Li invited all the subordinates of the government office, and did not let his family attend, perhaps because he was worried that she and Qingqing would no longer be possible, and he didn't want Qingqing to be sad.

Lao Li said that he had met with Shangjing Mansion Yin several times, saying that Shangjing Mansion Yin was old, and he had been in the capital for decades, and his temper was not better than him, especially when he was extremely strict, so Mei Xiaoren was more careful.

Mei Xiaoren was just halfway through a sip of wine, and began to beat the drum in her heart, it seemed that the boss's temper was not the worst, only worse, so that before she stepped out of Xuanzhou, she had already felt the official frame of Lord Fu Yin from Lao Li's words......

After the banquet, Mei Xiaoren and Ye Zhi came out of the Li Mansion, and when they were walking on the street, she remembered that no wonder Jiang Rong said last night that he was only away for a while, it turned out that he was not referring to him coming again, but that she was going to Beijing.

Ye Zhiye still said "where she is, he is", and said that he would continue to follow her

Mei Xiaoren discussed with Ye Zhi, and asked Ye Zhi to take Aunt Ye and Zizi Feihua to leave tomorrow, and she stayed in Xuanzhou for a few days. Her reason was to hand over the errand at hand, but in fact, she wanted to go back to Yunxian County and say goodbye to her father.
