Even if ten criminals were imprisoned in the Shangjing Prefecture Bureau, Tao Fu Yin still didn't give her a good face at the church meeting on the second day.

"Mei Fucheng, since you were able to arrest ten people yesterday, why couldn't you before?" Tao Fu Yin asked with a cold face.

Yesterday, she and the Living Yama King had a quarrel with someone on the street, she didn't believe that Tao Fu Yin hadn't heard of it, he was probably waiting for her to explain.

Mei Xiaoren arched his hand and said: "Don't hide it, the adults of the hidden platform yesterday were also on business in the market, and they asked the governor of the capital to hand over the prisoners to our Shangjing Prefecture to deal with, otherwise I am afraid that I will not be able to complete the errand." ”

Tao Fu Yin's tone was even more cold: "You are not small, you dare to fight with the hidden moon platform, in case the governor of the city is to blame, wouldn't you even blame the official, blame the official for not being strict?" ”

Mei Xiaoren replied: "Your Excellency is too worried, and the Metropolitan Governor is not to blame, otherwise he would not have committed a person to a lowly position." ”

Tao Fuyin was relieved, and after being silent for a while, he glanced at her and said: "Even if you do this errand well, the New Year is approaching, there are a few official letters here, you take them to read, write all the documents to be reported, and hand them over to Wenhua Palace." ”

Tao Fu Yin just casually pointed to the pile of things in his hand, and Mei Xiaoren's heart was already half cold, not to mention a few official letters......

At the end of each year, the Wenhua Palace has to ask each yamen to hand in some documents, or briefly describe the errands to be done within a year, or list the errands to be done next year and the matters that need to be allocated.

As usual, these documents should be drafted by the officials of the six rooms, and the Lord Yin pointed to it, which made her a heavy task.

Paperwork has to be written, and the street has to be turned.

Mei Xiaoren, as always, took people to walk in the East Market, there is a restaurant called Drunken Xianju at the entrance of the East Market, and it can be seen from the outside that the restaurant is luxuriously decorated, specializing in the business of dignitaries and nobles.

She passed by the door and heard someone shouting behind her, "Master Mei stay." ”

Mei Xiaoren turned around and saw that the person who stopped her was a maid, and her clothes and styles looked familiar, so that she quickly recognized that she was the maidservant of the Guogong Mansion.

The maid owed, "My lord, my young lady invited the adult to come upstairs to talk." ”

"Is there something wrong with Miss Ji?"

The maid only said: "My young lady has been waiting for the adult all morning." ”

Mei Xiaoren looked up at the sky, it was almost noon, indicating that Miss Ji had been waiting for her for at least two hours.

She still owed Wei Guogong a big favor, so naturally she couldn't refute Miss Ji's face, and ordered her subordinates to continue the inspection, and she followed the maid into the Drunken Immortal Residence.

Ji Nanrou waited alone in the private room on the second floor, the window of the private room was facing the intersection, and she could see the flow of people coming and going on the street.

Every time they meet, no matter what Ji Nanrou wears, she can make people shine, or because she is beautiful, she looks good in whatever she wears.

"I don't know what Miss Ji is looking for?"

"Sit down, sit down." Ji Nanrou raised his hand and pointed to the seat opposite.

This is a restaurant, and between them is a dining table, on which a few dishes have been laid, and it seems that Ji Nanrou is going to invite her to dinner.

"Yuxiu, if you go to the Beijing Government Office to help Master Mei take a leave, just say that I mean."

"Miss Ji, this ......"

"Today I want to talk to Lord Mei, and please don't refuse." Ji Nanrou took a sip of the teacup, and said, "Don't worry, everyone in the capital knows that I am Xiangye's junior sister, and Lord Fu Yin will sell me this face." ”

The maid took the order and left, and the little two in the restaurant came in in an endless stream and laid down a series of delicacies on the table. All the dishes Mei Xiaoren knows, all of them are Jiangnan cuisine.

Ji Nan said: "The best thing Drunken Xianju does is Jiangnan cuisine, I heard that Master Mei is from Jiangnan, so I specially invite you to try it." ”

"Miss doesn't need to be so polite, just call the name of the lower official."

"Wouldn't it seem rusty to call you by name, I should have called you junior brother, but you are my senior brother's student, so it's not easy to call you now." Ji Nanrou asked her with interest, "What do you call my senior brother, do you call it master?" ”

Mei Xiaoren shook his head and said, "Xiangye asked me to call him Chu Yu." ”

"Then he treats you so well, except for Senior Brother Wei, no one in the world can call Senior Brother by name, and even if you want the clothes of a national soldier, he will still satisfy you." Ji Nanrou smiled again and said, "I'm curious, how did you convince Senior Brother to take you as an apprentice?" ”

Mei Xiaoren only said that it was a coincidence.

At that time, Scholar Wei happened to come to the academy, and she happened to help Scholar Wei relieve the siege, and then Scholar Wei introduced her to Chu Yu in order to repay her favor.

Chu Yu had to act in order to conceal her identity, but she was eaten to death by the Wei scholar and had to accept her.

She knew that he was reluctant at first, but later treated her better and better, which should be due to responsibility.

Ji Nanrou vigorously praised her for being smart and capable, and she was appreciated by Chu Yu, and she also praised her as a talented woman according to Bishop Zhou's previous description of Ji Nanrou.

"As a woman, Miss Ji can still have the mind to study at Jinshan Academy, which is really incomparable to women in the world." Mei Xiaoren said politely.

Ji Nanrou, who was still very talkative, suddenly stopped talking, even with a smile on her face, her smile dimmed a lot.

"Actually, I'm no different from the women of the world." Ji Nanrou sighed softly.

"How can it be, the world often says that a woman is virtuous if she is not talented, Miss Ji not only read poetry and books since she was a child, but also disguised herself as a man to study in the academy, which has long been a good story in the academy."

"I didn't go to the academy because I wanted to study, but because my senior brother went." Ji Nanrou lowered her eyes and smiled, "Do you say that my mind is no different from that of ordinary women?" ”

Mei Xiaoren also lowered his eyes and asked slowly, "Did Miss Ji and Xiangye know each other for a long time?" ”

"We have known each other since childhood, he is the son of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and I am the Miss of the Guogong Mansion, and I can often meet at banquets in various mansions."

Mei Xiaoren picked up the teacup and brought it to his lips, but he didn't open his mouth for a long time.

The prince of the Prime Minister's Mansion and the lady of the Guogong Mansion...... It sounds like the door is the right one, and it just happens to make up the word "general match".

"It's making you laugh when you say it, in fact, I don't mean anything else, you know, my father and Xiangye ......" Ji Nanrou only said this, guessing that Mei Xiaoren should understand what she meant, so he continued, "So the people I know are either towards my senior brother or towards my father, presumably only you are like me, and I don't want them to go their separate ways." ”

"Miss Ji invited me here today, so that I can persuade Xiangye and Lord Guogong to let down their respective guards and no longer stand on each other?" Mei Xiaoren's words were slow and careless, because she felt that such a matter was unlikely.

If the Duke of Wei agrees to make a fight, I am afraid that Chu Yu will have to return to His Majesty, and Chu Yu is now in power, so he doesn't need to take the Duke of Wei Mansion in his eyes at all, and he can make concessions in order to release his previous suspicions?

Ji Nanrou shook her head, "No, I won't ask about the affairs of the court, I just want my senior brother to know that I am different from other people around my father, I only treat him as a senior brother." She looked at Mei Xiaoren and said, "I think you should think the same as me, you don't want to treat him as a prime minister, let alone an enemy." ”

Mei Xiaoren nodded.

"So, only you can help me."
