Wei Shuying picked up the wine on the table, took a sip and cleaned it, but didn't answer Mei Xiaoren's question.

Mei Xiaoren picked up the wine jug and filled it for the scholar of Wei University, and asked, "Is it because for the scholar, Miss Xiuyu is no different from other confidants?" ”

"Brother Mei, these things are hard to say, you better tell me first, what did Xiuyu say?" After Wei Shuying asked, he drank the wine in one sip again.

"Miss Xiuyu said, you were very drunk that day, and you had an argument with your wife, and pushed your wife into the pond." Mei Xiaoren's voice became smaller.

She saw a flash of surprise in Scholar Wei's eyes, and guessed that the couple had been married for several years, and even if there was no conjugal relationship, this should be the first time that Scholar Wei had done something to Mrs. Wei, so that even he couldn't believe it.

"Is there such a thing?" Wei Shuying picked up the wine glass and brought it to her lips, sipped it for a long time before finishing it, thought carefully and frowned, "Why don't I have any impression at all?" ”

"The scholar's garden is really elegant, but the beautiful woman inside, how does the scholar plan to arrange it, and want her to live there for the rest of her life?"

"Xiuyu is helpless, can I still drive her away?" Wei Shuying put down the wine glass, her eyebrows were deeply locked, "When I met her, she was performing in the tea shop to bury her mother, Brother Mei, you said, a girl like Xiuyu is in front of you, pitifully begging for alms, are you reluctant?" ”

"If it is really pitiful, then it is okay to give silver, but as for the ...... I still have to rely on Xiangye to take me in, I can't afford to buy another garden. Mei Xiaoren quipped and moved to Gu Chuyu's side.

Wei Shuying was silent, drinking sullen wine again and again, and refused to stop when a pot of wine reached the bottom, and asked Xiao Er to add it.

Gu Chuyu didn't stop anyone from borrowing wine to drown his sorrows, and silently sandwiched the dishes for Mei Xiaoren.

Mei Xiaoren asked another: "Xiangye, I don't really understand, why did Wei Guogong suddenly propose to repair the Zhenguo General's Mansion?" ”

"He is making a show to the soldiers at the border pass, most of the tens of thousands of troops guarding the border pass were Ye Huai's direct subordinates, and they are loyal to the Zhenguo General's Mansion, even if the old master has gone, they are also under the orders of the former subordinates of the General's Mansion."

"That Zhenguo general really collaborated with the enemy and treason?" Mei Xiaoren asked.

"I don't know what happened more than 20 years ago, but what happened in the court is true or false, false and true, and the courtiers have their own opinions."

"Since the subordinates of the General's Mansion are loyal to the old master, but the old master is designated as a traitor by the imperial court, won't they blame the imperial court and Your Majesty?" Mei Xiaoren was puzzled, "Xiangye is not guarded?" ”

"Let them guard the border is defense, they complain about the court, but they hate the Xia people who let their master be accused of collaborating with the enemy, so they will never mutiny there, otherwise they will let the enemy enter the house."

Mei Xiaoren admired the Prime Minister's thoughtful arrangement, and he didn't have to be ruthless to kill them all, nor did he have to worry about them making trouble and threatening the imperial court.

In the dead of night, the three of them came out of the drunken immortal residence.

Mei Xiaoren looked at Scholar Wei, his expression was calm, his consciousness was still clear, but he didn't talk much.

When she retracted her gaze, she saw two women standing on the street outside, a master and a servant, and when she looked at it, she was surprised that the woman was actually Xiuyu who she had only seen in the afternoon.

Xiuyu stood motionless on the road, I don't know how long she waited here, the night wind caressed the hem of her skirt and swayed in the wind, and she wore a veil on her face, covering the beauty of the sky, which was impossible for passers-by to appreciate.

When the scholar saw the comer, he frowned and asked, "Xiuyu, why are you here?" ”

"Your Excellency." Xiuyu bowed slightly, raised her eyes and looked at Wei Shuying's side, and owed again, "Mei Gongzi." She looked to the side, and she didn't recognize who the man was.

Xiuyu didn't know Gu Chuyu, Wei Shuying knew, and introduced her: "This is the Prime Minister." ”

Xiuyu looked at Gu Chuyu for a moment, hurriedly retracted her gaze, and knelt down in her skirt: "The folk girl has seen the Prime Minister." ”

Mei Xiaoren paid attention to Xiuyu and saw that although he was anxious, he was dignified and decent, and he did not mess up.

"No courtesy."

"Master Xie."

Xiuyu stood up with the support of the maid, looked at Mei Xiaoren, and asked timidly, "Mei Gongzi must also be a nobleman, right?" ”

Mei Xiaoren smiled: "Girl, don't care who I am, Xiangye and the university scholar are here, my rank is not worth mentioning." She asked, "Miss Xiuyu came here to find a scholar?" ”

"Xiuyu hasn't seen the adult for a few days, and today I heard that Mei Gongzi said that the rumors outside are like rain, so I am worried that the adult will be trapped by the rumors, so I dare to come and see the adult."

Wei Shuying laughed at it, "Xiuyu, you're too worried, when did I care about any rumors, it's cold outside, you can't help it, go back quickly." ”

"Your Excellency." Xiuyu frowned and called, "Regarding the misunderstanding that day, Xiuyu still has a lot to say to adults, can you give Xiuyu a chance to let Xiuyu finish speaking?" ”

Before Wei Shuying could answer, he saw that Gu Chuyu had already moved towards the carriage parked on the side of the street, and he clearly saw that Xiao Yu'er had left him with a roll of the eyes before leaving.

Mei Xiaoren was also helpless, and gave his hand to the two, "Farewell." After that, he followed the footsteps of the prime minister and boarded the carriage together.

When the carriage left from the door of the Drunken Immortal Residence, Mei Xiaoren opened the curtain and probed and found that the two were still standing there......

"This girl is so clever that she knows how to seize the opportunity and use me as a reason for her to come to the night party." Mei Xiaoren shook his head and sighed, "University scholars are blessed to meet such a beautiful girl with deep and delicate thoughts." ”

Gu Chuyu looked at her, "Are you praising or scolding?" ”

"Isn't it a boast, people don't care about glory and wealth, they are willing to be hidden by university scholars in the spacious courtyard of your firewood house, living outside the red dust, and what I hope is to be promoted to become rich and gain fame and fortune all the way." Mei Xiaoren laughed as he spoke.

"I'd like to hide you in the firewood, but you're willing?"

She replied, "I don't!" I prefer to be a cheesy person, in charge of important places in Gyeonggi, chasing fame and fortune, and being an indispensable staff member of the Prime Minister, rather than a fairy grass raised in the backyard. ”

Gu Chuyu reached out and gently pinched her chin, "Master Fu Yin is truly stunning in the world, can you find a second woman like you in the world?" ”

He put his arm around her, and after a while asked, "Did the woman handle it?" ”

"Huh?" Mei Xiaoren was puzzled, turned his eyes to look at Chu Yu, and couldn't help but look vainly, "Xiangye, it turns out that you didn't say a word, but you knew everything in your heart." ”

Gu Chuyu glanced at her and said, "How much does Wei Shuying drink, I don't know?" ”

Mei Xiaoren stared, "Wei University is a fan of the authorities, this woman is best dealt with by a woman, but Mrs. Wei is a heroine among women, she has grown up in the military camp since she was a child, and her temperament is heroic and informal, for the thoughtful Xiuyu, she is a chess opponent." He sighed again, "Actually, I don't have much ability, but Xiuyu provoked the girl I admire the most, and I can't sit idly by, so let's compete." ”
