Wu Xian and Mrs. Wei appeared outside the door almost at the same time, but Wu Xian had always known each other, and even if he came with Mrs. Wei, he followed Mrs. Wei half a step slowly and let her enter the door.

Mei Xiaoren bowed his hand and saluted: "I have seen Madame in my humble position." ”

"It's you." Zhu Xiaozhen looked at Mei Xiaoren and said lightly, "Climb quite fast, are you from Wei Shuying's help?" ”

Mei Xiaoren still maintained a saluting posture and did not speak.

Wu Xian arched his hand and said with a smile: "I have long heard that Lord Guogong recommended a young and promising official to enter Beijing and serve as the governor of Shangjing, but I didn't expect it to be you, Senior Brother Mei." ”

Mei Xiaoren politely returned the salute: "Wu Gongzi, long time no see." ”

Mrs. Wei stiffened her face, "Don't worry about reminiscing, let's talk, what happened to our family An'er?" ”

Mei Xiaoren took a step back from the door and let the two of them see for themselves.

Wu Xian looked at Wu Jie, who was sitting in front of the hall, frowned and asked, "Second brother, what's wrong with your face?" ”

Wu Jue pointed to the people around him, "Brother, he beat me!" ”

Zhu Changan was angry: "Sister, it was he who looked down on me first, saying that I was a martial artist, untalented and uneducated, and unworthy of approaching Miss Ji." ”

"Yo, what you said is yes, our Zhu family has practiced martial arts for generations, and we are not very talented, but it is all to protect the family and defend the country." Mrs. Wei walked towards Wu Jie, and the corners of her lips raised, "You literati are amazing?" So how much ink have you drunk, and how much has my father-in-law drunk? ”

Wu Jue slowly lowered his head.

Wu Xian hurriedly smiled: "Mrs. Wei, there is a misunderstanding, my second brother is not weak and not sensible, I hope Mrs. will forgive me." ”

Mrs. Wei raised her hand and pointed at Mei Xiaoren, smacking her lips: "Don't people have a weak crown?" Do you say that the dignified Sipin Mansion is not sensible? ”

Mei Xiaoren couldn't help but hold her forehead, she could really pull anything on her.

"Where is it, how can my second brother compare with Senior Brother Mei, this time it is my second brother who is wrong, I will treat him to make amends to Mrs. and Zhu Gongzi." Wu Xian bent down and waved his hands, and Mrs. Chaowei and Zhu Changan each made a big salute.

"It's pretty much the same, come on, my parent Ann has also done something wrong." Mrs. Wei walked up to Zhu Chang'an's side and raised her hand to poke his head, "I think about eating swan meat all day long, then Ji Nanrou's eyes are in the sky, can people look at you?" ”

Zhu Changan had a bitter face: "Sister, I finally met Miss Ji......"

Mrs. Wei took out a handkerchief and smashed it into Zhu Changan's arms, glanced at him and said, "Wipe your hara." He looked at Wu Jie, who had a blue nose and swollen face, and sighed, "Alas, that Ji Nanrou is not a good thing, tossing the two good children like this, isn't she staring at Xiangye, why is she still messing with flowers and grass everywhere!" ”

The smile on Wu Xian's face darkened a little.

"Okay An'er, let's go, don't think nonsense in the future, with my sister supporting you, you can't marry any immortals!"

Mrs. Wei pulled Zhu Changan out of the door in a hurry.

Wu Xian came back to his senses, and also beckoned Wu Du to come over, "Let's go, second brother, let's go home." He smiled at Mei Xiaoren and said, "Don't disturb Senior Brother Mei today, let's talk about it another day." ”

Mei Xiaoren squeezed out a smile and nodded.

The two little enemies left, and Mei Xiaoren's heart suddenly relaxed, but she seemed to vaguely hear Mrs. Wei say that Miss Ji was staring at Xiangye......

However, aren't the two of them political enemies?

On the day of Mrs. Ji's birthday banquet, Tao Mansion Yin had to grant Mei Xiaoren a day off and let her go to the Guogong Mansion for the banquet.

When Mei Xiaoren entered the Guogong Mansion, the guests were standing outside the lobby of the front court, chatting in groups.

She looked at it at a glance, and there were many familiar ones, familiar ones, and none of them.

Just when she felt "unaccompanied", someone tapped her on the shoulder.

Mei Xiaoren looked back and saw her extremely familiar and hypocritical smile.

"Senior Brother Mei, you are also here." Wu Xian stood beside her and looked at the guests present with her, "If there is anyone you don't know, I can introduce you." ”

Mei Xiaoren shook his head and said no.

"I heard that Senior Brother Mei was a general judge in Xuanzhou before, could it be after the academy was closed?"

"Don't hide it from Wu Gongzi, I used to be the county magistrate, and later transferred to the Xuanzhou Mansion, thanks to the trust of the prefect, let me go to Jinshan Academy to break the precedent that Jinshan Academy did not have Xuanzhou students."

Mei Xiaoren had already thought of a statement on the way to Beijing, they could go to the Ministry to check her fame and promotion records, these were not something she could hide from each other, and it was more appropriate for her to use this reason than to study.

"It seems that in the past, we didn't know Taishan, but I didn't expect you to be the most promising one among all the brothers and sisters." Wu Xian looked at her and said with a smile, "At that time, everyone was young and ignorant, and there were many misunderstandings, and I hope that my junior brother will not take it to heart." ”

"Wu Gongzi is polite."

Wu Xian asked again: "By the way, you are now serving as the governor of Shangjing Mansion, aren't you under the grandfather of Senior Brother Tao?" ”

Mei Xiaoren replied yes.

"Tao Gong's temperament is a little anxious, you have to be patient, don't worry about his old man."

"Lord Fu Yin is my boss, how can anyone who is a subordinate dare to worry about his boss."

Wu Xian sighed with a smile: "Speaking of Senior Brother Tao, he is still studying in the academy, and I don't know when he will finish." ”

Just when Mei Xiaoren didn't know how to continue chatting, a shout suddenly came from outside the door: "The Prime Minister has arrived, the scholar has arrived-"

She was stunned, it seems that in the officialdom, the essence of dealing with people is really to be friends in front of you and enemies on your back.

Mei Xiaoren took advantage of the fact that the two of them had not yet entered the door, and hurriedly moved behind the crowd, standing at the back of the human wall, and greeted everyone together.

She looked up slightly and saw Gu Chuyu and Wei Shuying walking through the middle road one after the other. He was like this every time he appeared in front of everyone, dressed in gorgeous clothes, walking slowly and steadily, and his whole body was full of domineering air, which made people feel unapproachable.

Mei Xiaoren lowered her eyes, not only did she choose to hide, but he was also rejecting people for thousands of miles like this.

On that day, he rarely appeared at the entrance of Chengnan Street in his usual clothes, but what he did was just talk to Ji Nanrou, I don't know if he made a special trip to see Ji Nanrou.

When everyone straightened up, Mei Xiaoren looked up again and watched Wei Guogong lead the two to the inner garden.

I heard that the Queen Mother and Jiang Rong had arrived a long time ago, and they should be there for the old lady at this time, and it was naturally difficult for them, the foreign ministers, who were not of enough rank, to see the old lady Ji.

After a while, Ei sent Aqing to inform her and asked her to meet in the garden.

The banquet was set up in the back garden, and when there was still about half an hour before leaving the banquet, the guests began to walk towards the back garden, and Mei Xiaoren followed everyone into the garden at this time.

The place that Jiang Rong agreed with her was on the edge of the lotus pond, and she had to pass through a rockery, and she shuttled through it, and looked up to see a pavilion on the rockery in front of her, and there was a person standing in the pavilion.

She had complained that he was like a moon of stars every time he appeared, and now he was standing there alone, with his back to her.
