It's still Wu Xiancheng who came, and it was a good thing to send a complaint, and he could take the opportunity to get close to the Meng family.

As the only male in the family, Meng Zhi is not there.

Meng Qingyun didn't understand, he had no job at home, and he had no livelihood outside, so why did this person run out all day long. I didn't see him studying, and he fell off the list last year, and he didn't know if he could win the promotion in the autumn of the year after.

The eldest lady is now unwilling to mix in anything except for Changfang's own affairs.

Meng Qingyun had to call a steward to accompany him, and personally received Wu Xiancheng in Shenyongtang.

Wu Xiancheng handed over the farewell to the steward with a smile and said, "I want to congratulate the second official again." The second official is so appreciated by the DPRK and China, and after entering Beijing, he will rise to the top, and our juniors will have to rely on support. ”

The steward smiled, but said in his heart that it depends on whether our second official is willful or not.

"Thank you for your trouble, the family has already sent someone to inform the second official, and it will take about half an hour to go back and forth. The parents of the county are busy with official business and dare not wait tirelessly. ”

Wu Xiancheng waved his hand: "It's okay, it's okay." ”

Just kidding, the last time I sent a confession, such a good official position, Meng Jin actually refused. Although there is a popular atmosphere in the officialdom of this dynasty to show their humility in this way, it will also slightly damage the face of the nominees in the DPRK and China.

However, after a long time, the officials actually sent him to the body again and gave him better treatment.

How much talent is there in Bianjing?

Or does Mengjin have a backer in the court?

No matter what the reason is, it is worth flattering Wu Xiancheng.

What's the point of waiting?

The steward looked at Meng Qingyun.

Meng Qingyun thought for a moment and said, "Can the county know about the Li family in Shexian County?" ”

"Oh?" Wu Xiancheng searched in his mind and said, "Li Zhongcheng is the chief of the Imperial History Terrace, and the Li family is the Wang clan of She County. ”

Meng Qingyun: "His family's seventh name is Li Jiayou, who studied under the Hanlin Academy to wait for the edict and rules, and painted a good courtyard painting. A few days ago, She County held a cultural meeting. ”

Wu Xiancheng said with a smile: "Huangshan on the sword!" This is the most lively literary event in Jiangnan in the past ten years. It's a pity that I can't see it with my own eyes because of a certain official business. ”

Meng Qingyun said with a smile: "Li Xiaoqi drew a long scroll with the theme of Huangshan on the sword, and prepared to send it to Beijing as a congratulatory gift for the official's birthday next year." A few days ago, the Li family sent a facsimile of it, which is being displayed in my father's study. If the county is willing to move, you might as well go and have a look. ”

Wu Xiancheng immediately laughed: "Then you must appreciate it." ”

Meng Qingyun motioned to the steward.

The steward got up, led the way in front, and led Wu Xiancheng to Mengjin's study.

In fact, this is just to find something to do for Wu Xiancheng, and he can't let people really sit and wait.

Meng Qingyun went to Le Shoutang and reported the matter to the old lady.

Since Meng Qingyun took charge of the house, the old lady felt more relaxed and comfortable than before. It's just because she is not like Lu's, who ran over to cry and cry for three days.

Hearing the good news, the old lady was naturally happy and said that she would have an extra meal at noon.

Meng Qingyun said: "Grandmother is really getting stronger day by day. ”

However, the old lady's meal did not add in the end.

The servant sent to Mengjin came back and said that Mengjin refused to be an official again, this time because "there is an old mother in the family, and I can't resign."

The old lady was so angry that she slapped the table again.

"Why didn't you say that last time? Now take me out to make a brand? ”

"Did he really think of himself as a hermit?"

"Don't put a good future, then what are you fighting for?"

Wu Xiancheng was also very surprised.

"Erguanren, why is this? If you talk about humility, it is enough to quit once. Now that the situation in Beijing is changing, such a good official position is really lacking, but it is impossible to find it, and if you miss the opportunity, you are afraid that you will regret it. ”

Meng Qingyun tied his hands.

"I'm a girl, I don't know that."

Wu Xiancheng said: "I'll go to meet the second official and ask him in person." ”

The steward hurriedly replied: "County Cheng Haihan, the second official has explained, and no one is seen." ”

Wu Xiancheng didn't understand it very much, but he was in charge with a girl, so he couldn't say anything, so he could only shake his head and sigh.

The steward sent him out.

Meng Qingyun saw that the subordinate who had sent a message to Meng Jin hadn't left yet, so he asked, "Does my father still have something to explain?" ”

The subordinate said: "The second official said that the weather is getting colder now, and asked the girl to send him some thick clothes." ”

Meng Qingyun was speechless for a while, and waved his hand to let him retreat.

So the next day, let Asakusa and Bauhinia pack some thick clothes and thick bedding, and prepare soup pots, charcoal basins and other things to keep out the cold, and the three of them took a carriage, followed by a big cart, and sent them together.

The Bai family cemetery is in the ancestral tomb of the Meng family, the ancestors of the past generations are buried here, in order to prevent wild boars and wolves from harassing the ancestors, the Meng family built a long wall outside, and surrounded this piece into a cemetery.

Although Mengjin said that he wanted to live in front of the Bai family's tomb, if he really lived so close, he would really be surrounded by mounds of tombs.

Naturally, it can't be so stupid.

Therefore, the grass house was built outside the cemetery.

The cemetery is backed by mountains and rivers, with a wide field of vision and excellent feng shui.

Although the grass house is simple, the environment is quiet.

When Meng Qingyun arrived, her mother-in-law was boiling water to make tea, and Zhang Adaa said that she had gone to chop wood.

Meng Jin heard the sound of carriages and horses, and walked out of the grass hut with a volume of "Zizhi Tongjian", wearing a homely robe, his hair was loosely tied into a bun, and a bamboo hairpin was inserted.

When the mountain breeze blows, the clothes are fluttering, and it is really a bit of a fairy wind and bones.

Meng Qingyun smiled and said, "Daddy looks like an immortal cultivator. ”

Meng Jin tapped her on the head with the scroll.

"Naughty."

The father and daughter did not enter the house, and there was a simple pergola in front of the grass hut, with a low table, a chaise longue, and a few small stools.

The mother-in-law brought the freshly boiled water.

Asakusa and Bauhinia took action and made tea for the father and daughter.

Meng Jin first asked a few words about the family.

Meng Qingyun replied: "The family is peaceful, my grandmother's health is getting better and better, the eldest lady asked someone to send medicinal materials to Qiongzhou, and she is still nested in the east courtyard, and everything doesn't matter; I heard that the capital she put out to eat interest was also taken back from Mrs. Yongkang Hou, and she didn't make a fuss anymore. ”

Meng Jin snorted: "With me here, she dares to make trouble?" ”

Meng Qingyun said: "My father refused to be an official again today, could it be that he thinks the official position is not good?" ”

Meng Jin said: "Next year will be the triennial assessment of Beijing officials. According to the usual practice, the Third Class Yuan was in charge of the military attaché's performance evaluation, the formulation of promotions and dispatches, and so on, and taught me the affairs of the Third Class Academy, and made it clear that I was told to offend people, and I was doing the work of thunder. Well, no one is a fool. ”

Meng Qingyun understood, but at the same time he had some doubts.

"I used to hear my father mention the matter in Beijing, and I felt that the official family should appreciate my father very much. In that case, how could he let his father do the things of sinners? ”

Meng Jin sneered: "Hmph, official, that's not a good person." ”

Meng Qingyun became interested, and asked: "What kind of person is the official family, Daddy tell me about it?" ”
