A few days have passed, and Xiuyu still hasn't explained anything. Mei Xiaoren has a lot of official work on her hands, and she doesn't have time to accompany Xiuyu alone, anyway, Xiuyu can't escape with her wings in her hands, and she can't harm others, she can explain when she is willing, she can afford to wait.

The end of the year is approaching, and as at the end of previous years, the official letter on her desk is as tired as ever, and luckily for her, the Prime Minister will come to help her every afternoon.

He accompanied her to read the official letter in the yamen in the afternoon, and when the dispersal value returned, she would accompany him to see the rest of the recitals, and the days were simple but satisfying.

Gu Chuyu became a frequent visitor to the Shangjing Prefecture Office, and the officials in the yamen were like "great enemies", because after the prime minister personally read the official letter, he would often ask them to interrogate, and no one dared to slack off.

Chu Yu looked at the official letter in her seat, and Mei Xiaoren sat on the couch facing the door, also holding a booklet in her hand.

The officials of the Criminal Division would interrogate Xiuyu and the two subordinates every day, and whether they were recruited or not, they would record the process of questioning and present it to her.

Today's record is no different from the past, Mei Xiaoren closed the booklet and couldn't help but sigh: "Her mouth is really hard." ”

The official was also worried about this, and said: "Yes, my lord, no matter how the lowly officials ask, she just won't recruit, even if she knocks on the side, her mouth is very tight, either she doesn't answer, or she is perfunctory." ”

Mei Xiaoren turned his eyes to look at Chu Yu, "Xiangye, Xiuyu is such a girl with fine skin and tender meat, what should I do if I can't do it?" ”

"Stay with you first, and after a few days, when Wei Shuying completely abandons her, I will send someone to mention it."

Mei Xiaoren nodded. She heard that the spirit of the scholar was still not quite right in the past few days, which showed that the blow of the old horse's stumble was ...... Not light.

She sighed again: "This Xiuyu is really a scourge! ”

The official replied: "My lord, didn't the sages say that only women and villains in the world are difficult to raise......

The official wanted to flatter his boss so he followed his boss's words, but as soon as Lord Yin raised his eyes, a cold gaze suddenly hit him in the face, and the adult's indifferent voice followed: "Get out!" ”

"Retire from your duties." The official gave up his hand and walked out of the boss's office in a gray manner.

Mei Xiaoren's afterglow swept away and saw that someone was laughing, and asked indifferently: "Xiangye thinks so too?" ”

"When did I say that?" Gu Chuyu looked at her and felt innocent.

"Xiangye said that what is more difficult to deal with than the government is a woman's mind."

Gu Chuyu replied solemnly: "Once upon a time, now Benxiang has picked up a woman who is very easy to raise, what to eat, gentle and beautiful, and will do errands, don't do it in vain." ”

Mei Xiaoren glanced at him and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.

She heard that someone was coming outside, and when she looked at it, she really said that whoever was there would come, and the Metropolitan Governor, who had not shown up for several days, was coming here in the dust.

After Liuyue entered the door, she saluted Gu Chuyu directly: "Master, my subordinates are back." ”

"What about Chu Zifeng?"

"Master, although the Flowing Fire Gang has been extinguished, Chu Zifeng is really cunning, his subordinates have led people to track down in Jiangnan, and he has found clues several times and has been in vain, but according to his whereabouts, he is coming to Beijing." Liuyue said, "He and several of his subordinates hid all the way, walking very slowly, and his subordinates have sent people to continue to track, and his subordinates came back to ask the master, whether to fortify this side of Beijing?" ”

Gu Chuyu looked at Mei Xiaoren, Chu Zifeng didn't know that she had another identity, and it shouldn't be for her to sneak into Beijing.

Even if Chu Zifeng sees through her, it doesn't matter, she goes in and out with him after she disperses, and she is accompanied by an official when she goes out on business, with Chu Zifeng's current ability, she can't get close to her.

He was not worried about this matter, and said while reading the official letter: "There is no need to defend it with great fanfare, you just pay more attention in Beijing." ”

"Yes."

Gu Chuyu sorted out a small stack of documents and put them on the table, "Xiao Xiao, these official documents to be reported are correct, let people take them." ”

Mei Xiaoren looked outside, and the people had already been cleaned up by her.

"I'll take it to them." She went over and picked up the paperwork and went out the door.

Liuyue looked back at Mei Xiaoren leaving, retracted her gaze, and asked, "What does the master command?" ”

"To check a person's details, the more detailed the better." Gu Chuyu took a page of letterhead, wrote two words on it, and handed it to Liuyue.

Liuyue looked at the name on it and frowned, "This person is ...... with Master Mei"

"Check it out secretly, don't let her know."

"Yes."

Liuyue heard footsteps approaching, and before Mei Xiaoren came in, she quietly put away the paper.

This person has a lot to do with Meifu Yin, no wonder the master wants to support Meifu Yin.

Mei Xiaoren returned to the public office, and there was nothing else to do, she walked to Gu Chuyu's side, and found that the official document spread out on the table was written about the progress of the renovation of the Zhenguo General's Mansion.

The matter of repairing the Zhenguo General's Mansion is not under the jurisdiction of the Shangjing Prefecture, but as long as it is something that happens in the Shangjing City, the six divisions must report it according to their duties, and there will be such a document every three or five days.

Before the New Year's Festival, Mei Xiaoren took the time to go to the Li Mansion in the southern suburbs to visit Mrs. Li according to what he had promised Qingqing.

There are many dignitaries in the capital, and Lao Li's former residence in the capital is not big compared to theirs, but it is a stable place for Qingqing and Mrs. Li.

Mrs. Li personally came out to greet her, led her to the hall, sat down and sighed with a smile: "Xiao Ren, we haven't seen each other for more than a year, the master really didn't see the wrong person, and now you are the most promising person in the entire Xuanzhou." ”

Mei Xiaoren smiled politely, in fact, there are many people who are more talented than her, such as the prime minister.

Mrs. Li said again: "The lord was able to reinstate the official this time, and it is also thanks to you. ”

Speaking of this, she still felt guilty: "I was the one who implicated the prefect before......"

Mrs. Li hurriedly beckoned her to interrupt her words, "Don't mention it, don't mention it, the master is willing to pull the line for you, and he naturally has to bear it if something happens, I don't blame you." ”

Li Qingqing personally served the tea and put it in Mei Xiaoren's hand, and said, "Brother Mei, please drink tea." ”

"Thank you, Miss Qingqing."

Mrs. Li looked at her daughter, and then at Xiang Mei Xiaoren, with a smile on her face, but she was a little sad in her heart, I don't know whether the fate of these two children is deep or shallow. The original Mei Tong sentence is now Lord Fu Yin, so that she, a mother, is embarrassed to say anything, she can only look at the will of God.

Li Qingqing took out an object, pinched it in his hand and slowly handed it to Mei Xiaoren, "Brother Mei, last time I saw that your purse was a little old, and I made a new one for you, if you don't dislike it, just accept it." ”

Mei Xiaoren looked down at the purse around his waist, took it off, and looked at it in his hand.

It is embroidered with a few bamboo leaves, and the blue-white satin is not as bright as it used to be.

This is embroidered by Aunt Ye when her eyes are still visible, stored for several years, and given to her when she was in Qiushui County, she has been using it until now, how can it not be old.
