Chapter 279: The boat capsized in the gentle township

Early morning.

Mei Xiaoren finished reading the newly delivered documents in the public office, distributed the errands, and left the yamen in a sedan chair.

Now she is the Yin of Shangjing Mansion, and she doesn't need to do it herself to patrol the streets and run errands, but she has developed the habit of going to the streets every day.

Lao Li once said that when you are an official errand, you must see with your eyes, not just with your ears, especially not just stay in the yamen and listen to the reports of your subordinates......

No matter how many grades she is, she has always kept these words in her heart.

Mei Xiaoren knows the wind and grass in the capital well, last time she warned a few people who chewed the root of their tongues, the rumors on the street were getting fewer and fewer, but as soon as last night passed, there were new tricks.

She didn't need to ask the scholar or the inkstone about last night, she took a sedan chair around the West Market, and she already knew everything

It was rumored on the street that the scholar Wei personally picked up the confidante home last night and asked the confidant to stay overnight in the university scholar's mansion.

When Mei Xiaoren heard this, he couldn't help but shake his head, could it be that the warm fragrance of nephrite jade in Huai really makes people dizzy? The wind and rain outside have not stopped, and the scholars of Wei University don't even know that they are bringing people home on the cusp......

Last night's incident had become a fact, and it was too late for her to rush to warn the scholar, and besides, she had been busy with the scholar Wei, and she hadn't seen Mrs. Wei yet, so she took advantage of the time to patrol the street and went to Zhu's mansion.

Mei Xiaoren came to the door to ask to see Mrs. Wei, and after the family reported to her, it was General Zhu who came out to greet her.

"I've seen the general." Mei Xiaoren saluted

"Master Mei, please come inside."

Mei Xiaoren saw that General Zhu was so polite to her, and she felt a little guilty in her heart. The courtiers have already put her together with Chu Yu and Wei Daxue, in the past, the courtiers saw Wei Shuying as if they saw Chu Yu, and now they see her as if they saw Chu Yu and Wei Shuying......

General Zhu was able to put aside the grievances of his juniors and treat her politely, of course she was moved in her heart.

General Zhu ushered her into the hall and invited her to sit on the throne with her. Mei Xiaoren insisted on sitting aside alone on the grounds that General Zhu was an elder and a boss.

"Lady Mei is here for Xiaozhen's business, right?"

Mei Xiaoren nodded and asked, "Madame is here?" ”

General Zhu sighed: "These ups and downs in the capital have made people upset, Xiaozhen said a few days ago that she went out to relax, I don't know where she went, and she hasn't returned yet." ”

"General Zhu, rest assured, I will do my best to calm down this turmoil as soon as possible." Mei Xiaoren said.

General Zhu was full of sadness, holding the tea bowl and not drinking it for a long time, closing it again, putting down the teacup and saying: "Xiao Ren, my uncle knows that you are running around for this matter, Chang'an saw it when you arrested people that day, and that uncle treated you as a junior here, not a colleague, and told you the truth." ”

"Uncle, please speak."

"Xiaozhen's writing of the letter of resignation is contrary to the code of ethics, which is inappropriate, but is Wei Shuying too romantic?" General Zhu frowned, and said, "The matter between the younger generations, we who are elders are not easy to speak, in the past, we could only hope that the little two could run in more, after all, good things are more grinding, besides, I think that with Wei Taishi's control, Wei Shuying will not wait to see Xiaozhen, and he will not do anything to Xiaozhen, who knows that he will ...... to Xiaozhen this time in order to protect that woman Alas! ”

Mei Xiaoren lowered her eyes, she was also uncomfortable when she learned that the scholar had accidentally pushed his wife down the pond. She is also a woman, of course she can understand Mrs. Wei's mood at that time.

It was not right for Mrs. Wei to add fists and kicks to Scholar Wei in the past, but she wanted to protect her home, and Scholar Wei was to protect Xiuyu this time......

Mrs. Wei didn't know if there was any clue in it, so the push of Scholar Wei made Mrs. Wei, who was strong by nature, completely chilled.

"When Xiaozhen comes back, let them reconcile, our Zhu family is not as prominent as the Weifu family, but we can still afford to raise a daughter." General Zhu's expression was displeased, and he blamed himself very much, "It's all my fault, I spoil this daughter too much, everything depends on her, even the husband is chosen by herself, I knew that Wei Shuying was romantic, but not only did I not stop Xiaozhen, but I also took the initiative to find Wei Taishi to climb ......."

Mei Xiaoren frowned, "Uncle, there is really no room for recovery in this matter?" ”

"Redemption? How to get it back? Xiaozhen often says that she has been in love for a long time, does Wei Shuying have any love for her now? In this case, she is still cheeky to stay in the Wei family. General Zhu said angrily, "Unfilial piety is the greatest, and my Xiaozhen is not a sinner in the Taishi Mansion." ”

Mei Xiaoren didn't speak again, she could imagine that even if Mrs. Wei could be ruthless to cut this love thread, her heart would be extremely painful.

"Xiao Ren, if you help your uncle bring a message to Xiangye, you will be able to distinguish between public and private in the end, even if Ding'an Houfu and the Wei family can't be in-laws, Ding'an Houfu will never have two hearts for Xiangfu."

Mei Xiaoren stood up, saluted General Zhu, and said angrily: "Thank you, General, for understanding righteousness." ”

"Hurry up, please." General Zhu personally helped Mei Xiaoren to stand up, and sighed again, "Speaking of which, I have been colleagues with Prime Minister Gu and Master Taishi for decades, and I thought that I could get close to each other by marrying a family with the Wei Mansion, but it seems that the fate of the two juniors is not enough." ”

Mei Xiaoren left the Zhu Mansion, and his heart became heavier and heavier. General Zhu's opinion on this matter is already clear to her, and if Mrs. Wei gives it up again, this relationship will really be over.

If the scholar's action of hurting Mrs. Wei was out of her heart, then she agreed with Mrs. Wei to give up, but now the evidence in her hand points to Xiuyu's deep thoughts, which shows that the scholar Wei overturned in the gentle township.

She hopes to give Mrs. Wei the truth, and at that time, whether Mrs. Wei forgives or never looks back, she respects Mrs. Wei's choice.

It's just that now there's a problem......

Where should she go to find Mrs. Wei?

Mei Xiaoren walked alone on the street, and did not take off her official uniform, so that the people avoided her when they saw her, and there was silence everywhere she went, making the sound of disputes from the end of the street particularly clear.

She walked in search of the sound and saw two boys scuffling together, one was crushed to the ground, and the other was riding on top of him, throwing a few punches on his back, and cursing something in his mouth.

The official hurriedly stepped forward and pulled the two apart. When the beating man was dragged away, he unwillingly kicked a few feet at the person on the ground, scolding: "Take care of your stinky mouth, next time, Lao Tzu will have to screw your head off!" ”

Mei Xiaoren didn't know who the boy who was beaten to the ground and couldn't get up, but she had seen this bloody young man in front of her, it was the cousin of Ding'an Houfu and Mrs. Wei's cousin - Zhu Changan.

"Zhu Gongzi is angry." Mei Xiaoren persuaded.

"It's you, you came just in time, he dares to slander the lady of the university scholar and Ding'an waiting for his daughter, you quickly pull him back to play the board and close it for a few more days!" Zhu Changan pointed to the people on the ground and said indignantly.
