Chu Yu tried a few times, but failed to open the door as he wished, and was about to leave when he suddenly heard the sound of the door opening.

He raised his eyes and saw the person inside the door, but he couldn't see her clearly, just like the last time they met.

He had seen the masked woman, and he knew exactly who she was.

The moment they looked at each other, they were not surprised by each other, and each remained calm.

"Young Master Chu, we meet again."

Chu Yu nodded, his gaze moved away from her, and moved to the courtyard behind her.

"This place is...... Xiao Mansion? ”

"It's my idle yard." Mei Xiaoren was curious, "Why did Young Master Chu come here?" ”

"Aren't all the people in the city coming to Xiao Mansion to join in the fun today?"

"But I don't think Young Master Chu is a person who likes to join in the fun." Mei Xiaoren quipped. She was not only curious about him as a person, but also curious about his intention today, so she took a step back to the side of the door, raised her hand and said, "The person who came is a guest, Prince Chu, please." ”

Chu Yu didn't rush to respond to her invitation, stayed where he was, and asked her: "I met the girl Pingshui, and I only met once, and the girl didn't know whether I was good or evil, so she let me enter the house?" ”

"It's easy." Mei Xiaoren looked down at the fan in his hand, and his onion-like fingers stroked the embroidery on it, "But if Chu Zifeng says that the bad guy must be a good person." ”

"Interesting." The corners of Chu Yu's lips were shallow, and he walked into the courtyard.

Mei Xiaoren took a few steps slowly and walked behind Chu Yu. In the past, she was the county magistrate, and Chu Yu refused to confide in her identity, so will he tell the truth now?

Try how to know without clichés.

Mei Xiaoren shook his fan lightly and asked slowly: "Young Master Chu was born in Yun County and grew up in Shangjing?" ”

Chu Yu glanced back at her, his expression was not wavering, obviously not curious about how she knew.

There are many ways to tell where a person is from, such as his vanished native voice.

For Mei Xiaoren, the accent is easy to recognize, she has never been to other state capitals, and she can't distinguish the accent from other places, but it just so happens that Governor Li's hometown is Shangjing. For the accent of her immediate boss, she is naturally too familiar to hear.

Chu Yu walked around the courtyard, and he nodded unabashedly to her question.

"Young Master Chu is a member of the official family?" Mei Xiaoren asked.

This time it was a little unexpected for Chu Yu, he stopped and looked at her, "How can you see it?" ”

Mei Xiaoren didn't know how to explain it for a while, and she couldn't say that in order not to offend the powerful when she mixed with the officialdom, she had read countless classics, paid attention to the words and deeds of her bosses, and practiced a sharp eye that could distinguish between officials and people.

Now that she is a deep boudoir woman, what insight can she have?

But women also have the advantages of women, for example, there is a reason that is commonly used by women can prevaricate many questions in the world. She replied, "Intuition." ”

Chu Yu did not avoid this question, and said indifferently: "I am lucky to have enough food in the imperial court, and I have a good job." ”

He looked at the objects and scenery in the courtyard, looking at every place carefully, as if he was looking for something, and finally his eyes fell on the newly opened courtyard gate, because the ground in front of the door was filled with mud.

Regarding Chu Yu's answer, Mei Xiaoren didn't know whether to believe it or not? I was afraid that too many temptations would arouse Chu Yu's disgust, after all, they were not familiar with each other.

She sighed casually: "That's better than staying in Yunxian, the camels in Beijing are bigger than the horses." ”

"A clever woman like the girl, if she had responded to the Chu family's family affairs, it would have been a pity."

"How do you know about me?" Mei Xiaoren frowned.

"The affairs of the Xiao Chu family are not known to everyone here?" Chu Yu answered as a matter of course.

Mei Xiaoren lowered his eyes. It is also said that since Chu Yu is a descendant of the Chu family, he must have inquired about the Chu family when he came back, and the Xiao and Chu families are grasshoppers on a rope in Yunxian County, and if he inquires about one family, he will inquire about two families.

What's more, his subordinates seem to be shrewd and capable people, and they must be able to dig out the past no matter how deep and trivial they are.

She was only sixteen years old at the time, and her father wanted her to marry Chu Zifeng, and even invited her husband to make a marriage contract. She arrived halfway through the marriage contract, tore up the red paper immediately, and left home in a huff.

Everyone who knew about this was regretting, regretting that the two families could not merge into one to continue to revitalize Yunxian, and blamed her for her disobedience on behalf of her father.

It turns out that there will be people who will be happy for her.

When Mei Xiaoren was silent, Chu Yu was looking around the courtyard. The breeze in his eyes was like this, but the fragmentary memories couldn't piece together the past, and there was nothing to be nostalgic for. Moreover, these old things are not only for him to find any memories, but also to remind him that what needs to be done still needs to be done.

"There is a lot of trouble today, farewell."

Mei Xiaoren came back to his senses when he heard the voice, and Chu Yu had already gone out, leaving a lingering back.

She was wondering, did he stick to etiquette when he left in such a hurry?

If she were Mei Xiaoren, they might be able to make friends, but she can only keep a distance from all men when she dresses like this, but it is too good to get along with each other in a remote place for a long time.

The more she was restrained, the more Mei Xiaoren missed her official uniform. Although the cyan official uniform symbolizes that she is at the bottom of the official position in Daning, she may be green when she is green, and if she is green, she may be red.

Mei Xiaoren looked at the sky and sighed, she did think like this in the past, how could she expect that there were villains in the world, and when her official career was open, she blocked her way.

The road is impassable, and it is the right thing to go back to work as soon as possible!

Early the next morning, Mei Xiaoren gave Xiao Ru's wedding card to her father.

"Alas......"

Her dad was sighing.

Mei Xiaoren beckoned her subordinates to step back, waited for the door to close before taking off her veil, took a sip of the teacup, and didn't ask her father why he sighed, because she knew:

There is a kind of helplessness called - red eyes!

"Dad, don't be discouraged, isn't it just an official of the state capital, I can also be promoted to the state capital in a few days."

"Hmph, you can boast about Haikou." Her father rolled his eyes at her, "Girl, I don't know how many pounds and taels you have?" These words have been saying since before you took office, and in the past two years, your county order has become more and more stable. ”

Mei Xiaoren turned sideways slightly, looked directly into her father's eyes, serious and serious: "Do you know how hard I work? ”

"Girl, if you can really enter the state capital, your father will have nothing to say, but you ...... now." Father Xiao paused, couldn't bear to hurt his daughter's heart, and said, "My daughter's family is not the material to be an official, it is better to resign and go home as a county magistrate, learn from your cousin, and marry a good family with peace of mind." ”

"I'm not an official?"

Mei Xiaoren was angry when he said this, and slapped it on the desk, so shocked that the tea in the cup splashed a lot.

"If that bastard hadn't sued me in front of the prefect, I wouldn't be far from entering the state capital!" Mei Xiaoren couldn't help grinding his back molars.

"Bastard?"

She said with a false eye: "That bastard came to the house yesterday pretending to be a guest, and scolded the county magistrate of Qiushui County for being a corrupt official in front of me!" ”

"Really?" Father Xiao was surprised, and after a while, he laughed heartily, "You didn't ask someone to peel him and cramp?" ”

Mei Xiaoren calmed down and shook his head. After all, that person has a talisman in his hand, and now Yunxian is also her territory, Jiang Rong has an accident in her territory, can Lao Li not trouble her?

"Your Cousin's Wedding ......"

"Next month, the prefect will inspect Xuannan, and he may get Qiushui County when he arrives." Mei Xiaoren said. The implication is that she is not available!

Xiao's father knew that his daughter was holding a breath in his heart, so he didn't say anything more.

When it was the day of the holiday, Mei Xiaoren counted the surplus of Meilou and took a step forward, so that the family's dart bureau would come to Qiushui County with the silver in a few days.

She didn't ride in a sedan chair or carriage, changed back into men's clothes, and led a horse on the road alone.

The breeze was gusting in the mountains and forests, and she walked back leisurely.

"Save ...... Help me! ”

"Hit! Hit me hard! ”

Cries for help and shouts drifted out of the woods at the same time, and Mei Xiaoren frowned and stopped.

"Don't hit my son-in-law......"

What a familiar sound!
