It is said that Cao Ye is a figure in the Jiangnan area, and he has done a lot of business on the surface, and he also does business behind the scenes. Such a person does not show up during the day, but has to wait until night.

Mei Xiaoren made an appointment with the vendor to meet at a time and place, and took the two children back to the inn first.

It was already dawn, and it was time for breakfast.

Mei Xiaoren knew that Chu Yu liked to be clean, and wanted to take the two imps to wash and change their clothes before coming to breakfast, but when they came in from outside, the two imps saw the food on the table of the other guests and said bluntly, it can be seen that they are hungry.

She couldn't bear it, so she filled her stomach with two little flower faces first.

Red bean porridge, steamed chestnut flour cake with osmanthus sugar, steamed steamed buns with bamboo shoots, shredded chicken with clear oil

Mei Xiaoren felt that living outside with Chu Yu was a blessing, because he was quite particular about food, clothing, housing and transportation, but there were more than a dozen dishes for breakfast in the inn, which was not the best she had ever seen, but it was also the ultimate that this store could do.

At this breakfast, she and Chu Yu didn't move their chopsticks, watching the two little ghosts gobble up, sweeping the dishes all over the table, and couldn't bear to fight with them for a grain of rice.

Chu Yu picked up the tea, drank the tea with heavy eyes, and asked slowly, "Where did you pick up the two children?"

"Bought it." Mei Xiaoren sandwiched a bun for each of the two little ghosts, and said, "They are a pair of brothers and sisters, one is seven years old and the other is nine years old. ”

"You're going to take them with you later"

"I think they are pitiful, and it is fate to be able to meet them, but I just lack a few of my own people around me." Mei Xiaoren took the folding fan and pointed at the two little ghosts, "One of them is called Xiaozhi and the other is called Xiaohua, I changed their names to Zizi and Feihua." ”

Chu Yu nodded and asked, "How is the investigation?"

"I've got to go somewhere tonight, and there should be something new."

"Somewhere"

"I'll tell you just yet." Mei Xiaoren supported his chin with one hand and smiled at him.

Chu Yu glanced at Mei Xiaoren, the corners of his lips raised slightly, "I have a long ability." ”

"Please rest assured, Lord Chu, as long as I can gather all the evidence, I will tell you as soon as possible, and I will never act rashly and hit a stone with an egg." Mei Xiaoren picked up the teapot and poured Chu Yu's teacup, and held the teacup in front of him with both hands.

Chu Yu took the cup of tea and said, "Wait for the good news." ”

"Master." Xingyun appeared in front of the door with a letter.

"What's the matter?"

Xingyun presented the letter with both hands, "The secret letter from Beijing, please take a look at it." ”

Chu Yu put down the teacup, went to the door and took the secret letter in Xingyun's hand, and moved out of the door.

He found a secluded place to read the secret letter, and his expression was not unusual.

Xingyun didn't dare to look at anything else, but when the master folded the secret letter again, he inadvertently saw a few words at the end, which read, "The ministers kneel and ask my lord to return to Beijing."

The master of the ministers should have been His Majesty, but now they call the master "my lord", which shows that something big has happened in the capital, which makes the ministers anxious, so they will hope that someone who can preside over the overall situation will come forward like the master, and hope that the master can return to Beijing as soon as possible when he sees this secret letter.

Chu Yu folded the secret letter and asked, "Where is Wei Shuying?"

"Back to the master, the person sent by the slave came back to report that the scholar had not returned to Beijing with the honor guard before, and he didn't know where he went."

"The Ministry of Industry Shoshi has already moved in Beijing before he arrives in Kyoto, but he is having a good time outside." Chu Yu slowly tore the secret letter in his hand and kneaded it into a ball.

Yes

Yun was shocked: "How dare the Ministry of Industry Shangshu carry the master behind his back"

"Wen Shanhai proposed to His Majesty to support King Yu as the crown prince and regent of the dynasty." Chu Yu added, "Wei Guogong reconsiders." ”

The master's expression was still so indifferent, but Xingyun listened to the fact that the situation was serious. Wen Shangshu's move was to take advantage of the master's absence, together with the Duke of Wei to support King Yu, making it clear that he wanted to oppose the master.

Maybe it was the master who sent Liuyue to stop him from interrogating Mei Gongzi and made him hold a grudge.

With the intervention of the Empress Dowager's brother Wei Guogong, His Majesty's side will most likely be obedient, and if the master does not go back in time, this matter may be difficult to suppress. Xingyun hurriedly said: "The master is not in the capital, if the other ministers can't hold it down, let this matter come to fruition, it will be very unfavorable to the master, whether the master wants to return to Beijing immediately"

"Order, let the others in Sui'an Mansion go first."

Xingyun obeyed: "Yes." ”

The master let the driver go first to announce that he was going back. Even if the master does not set off at the same time as the driver, he will catch up and meet before the car arrives in Beijing, so even if the master delays his departure from Jinzhou, it will not be delayed for a few days.

Chu Yu returned to the room, and the table had been cleaned. Mei Xiaoren had already left with the two children.

His heart was not as relaxed as others saw, not because he was worried that he would not be able to cure the gang in the capital, but because he didn't know how to say goodbye to Mei Xiaoren.

According to the original plan, he should at least accompany this student until he graduates, not to mention how much he can teach Mei Xiaoren, at least with him, he can feel at ease, and he will not look for a way like a headless fly.

Chu Yu pondered in the room for a long time, no matter how bad it was, he would eventually speak, so he went to outside Mei Xiaoren's room and knocked on the door.

"The door is unlocked."

Hearing the sound, Chu Yu pushed the door in, only to feel that the whole room was steaming and filled with a fragrance of flowers, as if he had mistakenly broken into a woman's boudoir, and it was a woman who had just taken a bath.

Chu Yu walked a few steps, and in a blink of an eye, he saw Mei Xiaoren and the girl named Feihua whispering in front of the bronze mirror.

Mei Xiaoren held a few beaded flowers in her hand and asked the girl with a smile: "Which one do you like?"

Feihua had been freshened up, wearing a white middle coat, sitting in front of the bronze mirror and pointing to the pink bead flower in Mei Xiaoren's hand, "This." ”

"Okay."

Mei Xiaoren picked up a wooden comb to take care of Feihua's hair, and in three or two clicks, Feihua's hair was tied into two hanging buns, and then Zhuhua was worn on both sides of the bun.

There were a few children's clothes on the bed, which she had just bought from the inn junior, and a few men and women had bought.

Mei Xiaoren picked a pink Luo skirt that matched the bead flower and put it on Feihua, so that Feihua, who was still gray and dirty, looked like a beggar, and turned into a white and well-behaved girl, looking very cute.

Mei Xiaoren looked in the mirror to sort out Feihua's clothes, and asked with a smile: "Is it good-looking?"

Feihua smiled, nodded again and again, Shui Lingling's big eyes bent into a pair of crescents, and said, "Thank you, Childe." ”

It was this "son" that surprised Chu Yu, who had been standing in the room for a long time. How many men in the world can groom women, and they are so skillful.

After Feihua looked in the mirror, she turned her head to look at Chu Yu standing in the room. Mei Xiaoren also moved his eyes.

Just now, she only cared about dressing up Feihua, as if she had snubbed Lord Chu. But it's no wonder that she hasn't groomed herself for a long time, and it is inevitable that she will feel itchy hands, and suddenly she meets such a well-behaved girl as Feihua, so she wants to spend all her thoughts on dressing up on this little girl.

"Why don't you sit when you come?"

Chu Yu smiled lightly and said, "You seem to be very good at dressing up women." ”
