Mei Xiaoren said goodbye to the girl, turned around and walked out of the Streamer Pavilion, and when he walked outside the door, he saw a carriage speeding towards the street.

The pedestrians on the road were dodging, and she also stopped to give way, but in a blink of an eye, she saw a woman standing in the middle of the road. It froze, as if it was wandering.

The carriage was approaching, and the woman was not aware of the danger.

On the street, only Mei Xiaoren was closest to the woman, she instinctively rushed over and grabbed the woman's wrist, and quickly dragged her back to the side of the road, "The girl is dangerous"

As soon as her voice fell, the carriage passed by, and the straight people rejoiced.

The woman turned around before she stood still, looking at her with a somewhat frozen gaze.

Mei Xiaoren wanted to complain, but for the weak woman, she couldn't bear to say anything serious, so she only advised: "Be careful next time." ”

After she finished speaking, she let go of the woman's hand and moved away.

Qingying was still stunned on the side of the street. For Qingying, such a pull and pull is more like that night in the barracks, he took her hand and led her out of the fire pit.

It was this kind of image that made her more and more depressed, and she muttered to herself: "He doesn't remember"

In addition to Qingying, there are also the master servants in front of the Streamer Pavilion standing still on the street.

The maid said: "Miss, it was the son who saved her just now, and that son is really a good person." ”

The woman only smiled and responded, "I see." After that, he boarded the sedan chair waiting on the side and left in the sedan chair.

Qingying came back to her senses, just in time to see the scene of the woman leaning over into the sedan chair, and saw that the woman's head was still holding the hairpin that the adult gave her

Mei Xiaoren came back for two days, and she didn't stay in her residence for two days, even if Jiang Rong was still staying with her, it didn't make her feel any difference.

There is more than one thing on her mind to repair the bracelet, there is another thing that is more important.

This matter requires the consent of the prefect, and she has to try to ask Lao Li for his life.

Mei Xiaoren wanted to find Lao Li's study, but when he passed by the second hall, he found that the prefect was sitting inside, and he was not alone, and there was a Gao Jingshu standing in front of him.

Governor Li held the map in one hand, pointed to the map with the other, and asked Gao Jingshu solemnly: "How much do you know about the topography of these places?"

Gao Jingshu arched his hand and said with a smile: "Lord Hui, the mountains and rivers in Xuanzhou have long been familiar, please rest assured that there will be no mistake in this river work." ”

"Have you ever been there?"

Gao Jingshu's gaze was certain, and he suddenly fell silent.

Mei Xiaoren stood by the door and could hear clearly, and he knew why Gao Jingshu didn't dare to answer, because he sat in his co-advisor's office every day, either to meet the squires who came to him to beg him, or to listen to the subordinates who were doing errands to come back to report, rarely went out and walked around, and did not look outside with his own eyes.

He was familiar with the terrain, and he must have just memorized the map.

Lao Li, an old horse in officialdom, how could he not see that Gao Jingshu was weak-hearted, so he collapsed his face, "I haven't been there"

"The lowly is about to finish the errand in hand and go"

Governor Li despised Gao Jingshu, retracted his gaze and looked at the map, and said slowly: "The old man understands your hard work in the past, and specially asked Mei Xiaoren to help you, if you don't hand over a few errands, how can you be idle."

Gao Jingshu said: "Mei Tong is sentenced to the beginning, and it may be difficult to take over the lawsuit, river work and other errands now, so I am ready to take him to familiarize himself with it first, and then return the errand that should have been his to him." ”

Governor Li raised his eyes to look at Gao Jingshu, and his voice became deeper and lower: "Don't think that the old man doesn't understand your mind, Mei Xiaoren, like you, is the right hand of the old man, who of you dares to fight in the nest, and if you get in the way of the old man's affairs, the old man will definitely kill him."

"Yes, the lowly duty must be remembered."

Lao Li is angry now, and Gao Jingshu is still there, Mei Xiaoren can't open his mouth if he wants to ask for his life, so he decided to wait for Lao Li to come back after he is angry.

She turned around and left.

"Mei Xiaoren"

Mei Xiaoren was helpless, Lao Li didn't look at it early or late, but at this time he looked out the door

She didn't dare to delay, so she immediately turned around and went back, and entered the hall to salute: "Lord Prefect." ”

"Why did you come and go?"

Mei Xiaoren buried his head and responded: "The prefect and the fellow master are talking, how dare you disturb the lowly position." ”

Governor Li's voice was still full of anger, and he took the map and asked her: "How much do you know about these terrains?"

"Humble duty" Mei Xiaoren thought for a while, and only replied, "Humble duty has remembered a little." ”

"I've been there"

Mei Xiaoren secretly glanced at Gao Jingshu. If the boss has not done something, the subordinates cannot take the lead, and even if they do, they can't admit it, otherwise they will offend the Tongzhi on the spot.

She replied, "No, I have been here for a few days, and I have only seen the map." ”

Governor Li also said: "Then do you know which places are being built now?"

Mei Xiaoren took a few steps forward, stretched out his hand, pointed to several places on the map successively, and then retreated to the position just now, and said, "I have been careful about my humble duties." ”

Governor Li was quite satisfied with her reaction, and then said: "It's not enough just to look at the pictures, you should also go to the river and take a walk and take a closer look at everything." He also said, "This river work should be your business, you should watch and learn quickly, so that you can share the burden for Gao Tongzhi as soon as possible." ”

"Yes, lowly command."

Mei Xiaoren's etiquette was calm, but his heart was cheerful.

She came here to ask Lao Li for her life, so that Lao Li allowed her to inspect the river workers as a general judge.

At first, when I saw Gao Jingshu here, I always felt that it was inappropriate for me to stop the work in front of my boss, but it was different when Lao Li opened his mouth in person.

Gao Jingshu hurriedly said: "My lord, the humble duty will take Mei Tongju to explain to him." ”

"You've never been there, you can tell anything"

Gao Jingshu was speechless, so he had to bury his head.

In this way, Mei Xiaoren received Lao Li's order, and prepared to set off early the next morning to inspect the river workers in Xuanzhou.

The carriage stopped outside the gate of the mansion, and Mei Xiaoren changed into an official uniform and came out, but saw the little guy who was driving the car glancing at her, as if to remind her that there was something in the car.

She didn't rush to get up, she opened the curtain of the car first and took a look, but unexpectedly, there was not something but a person inside.

"What is this doing," Mei Xiaoren frowned.

She went out on a business trip this time, and it was hard to inspect the river workers, she didn't even plan to take Ye Zhi with her, how could she drag a river eave.

"My lord, he said he was your friend, and he wanted to go with you," the coachman was helpless.

Jiang Rong sat in the carriage and refused to move the place, but said: "My son is interested in going with you, you should be happy." ”

"Down"

"Villain, you have to think about it, if I go down, then you don't want to go, let's go" Jiang Rong smiled humbly, "How about going to Futai Yamen"

Mei Xiaoren's face suddenly turned black as a cloud.

She has always been skeptical of this guy's words, and she used to say that she was a friend, but friends are used to threaten

Jiang Rong patted the seat next to him and said, "I still have to go out of the city, don't delay, come up." ”
