111, Lao Tzu doesn't want to be an official (2nd update)

Well, the old lady is recovering well and full of energy.

Meng Qingyun's feet that were about to step forward were just raised and put down, waved his hand to the maidservants behind him, turned around and sat under the porch of the door, listening with only his ears.

In the hall, the old lady slapped the table angrily, and the maidservants all lowered their heads and pretended to be dead.

Meng Jin sat down, holding a cup of tea in his hand, and didn't drink it, just played with the floating tea leaves with the lid, and his face was a calm look of "I don't refute, you vent your emotions first".

"Which official is like you, and he still guards his wife's grave?"

"What's the matter, just your husband and wife?"

"When you live, you are tired and crooked; Everyone is gone, and they still play this game with me! Who do you want to disgust? ”

Meng Jin said in disgust: "Mother, you are also from a beautiful background, how can you talk like a rough woman in the market now." ”

The old lady roared: "Are you responding to your mother for your wife?" ”

"I don't mean that......"

Mengjin is very helpless, no matter what age a woman is, it is unreasonable to start a temper.

The old lady snorted angrily: "When your father was gone, I never saw you so filial. ”

Meng Jin immediately retorted: "Mother, this is forgetful. When my father died, I was guarding the grave for a whole year. Ding Wei was reappointed after three years. ”

This seems to have wronged him.

The old lady choked for a while, and didn't want to admit her mistake, so she snorted and chirped: "In short, you are not allowed to guard her grave." ”

Meng Jin calmly explained: "Mother, I have been in Laizhou in the past few years, and I have been with her less and more often, and my mother has relied on her to do her filial piety for me, and I already owe something." ”

The old lady snorted: "She didn't serve me much......"

Meng Jin: "It's not that you dislike her for being a businessman, and she is sick and squeamish, so she is not worthy of serving in front of her." ”

There was no way to refute this, and the old lady pursed her lips.

"She has always been there, and I have not been able to accompany her at the bedside, let alone give her the last ride. If you don't show a little affection, wouldn't you become a person with little affection and a wolf's heart. ”

"If someone doesn't like me, participating in a book will also affect my career."

The old lady was a little moved, but she still retorted: "Then you guard her tomb, won't it delay you as an official." You are a two-list jinshi, and it has taken so many years to become a Zhizhou, so you are too aggrieved. ”

Meng Jin said: "Mother rest assured, your son is not short of officials." In the past few days, I have my own knowledge. ”

The old lady didn't know why.

Meng Qingyun, who listened to the whole process outside, patted his clothes and stood up.

"Let's go."

In this family, the father is the person of the highest rank, he can suppress the eldest lady, persuade the old lady, and don't have to worry about him in the future.

As a result, the next day, Meng Jin roared and asked someone to send beds, chairs and cooking utensils to the grass house.

Meng Qingyun heard about it and hurriedly rushed over.

"Why is Daddy in such a hurry, the mud walls of the grass house haven't dried yet."

Meng Jin was taking a small servant, packing up the books, preparing to pack them into boxes, and take them to the grass house.

While carrying a book in front of the bookshelf, he said, "If you don't hurry up, you won't be able to turn back." ”

Meng Qingyun was puzzled: "Why? Didn't my grandmother already agree? ”

Meng Jin said: "It's not your grandmother. ”

"What's that?"

Meng Jin turned around, and was about to explain, but for a while he felt that the previous situation was cumbersome, and he didn't know how to make a long story short, so he thought about it and only said: "Anyway, you pay attention to the portal these days to see if there is an official from the north." ”

"North? Where? ”

Meng Jin said directly: "It's Bianjing." ”

Meng Qingyun didn't understand even more: "Bianjing? What are your official duties? Hasn't Daddy already resigned? ”

Without explanation, this girl won't understand.

Meng Jin had no choice but to put down the book and said, "If you resign, you can naturally be reinstated." When I returned to the south from Bianjing, the official family intended to ask me to take up a post on the spot, but now the situation in Beijing and central China is tense, and the dispute for the storage position is in full swing. Now that the Lu Wangfu has fallen, Jiang Yang, who was originally the most vocal, has lost his qualifications, and the rest of the clan's children are naturally resurrected like spring grass, and they are bound to stage a fierce competition again."

"I have been in Laizhou for the past few years, and I am not familiar with the situation in Beijing, so I rushed into it, and I don't know what kind of embarrassment and danger I will encounter."

"So, it's better to wait for the situation in Beijing to become clearer before making plans."

"Besides, I feel so guilty that your mother has passed away, and if I can't accompany her at the grave, I won't be able to let go of it after all. Take advantage of this time to settle down and live in a home, and cultivate your self-cultivation. ”

Meng Qingyun somewhat understood: "So, when Daddy said that the envoy from Bianjing was coming, did he mean the appointment of the court?" ”

Meng Jin said: "Exactly. It's not that I'm boasting about my father, the official family has always valued me, otherwise I wouldn't have entrusted King Dark Charu with the important task of plotting rebellion. On that day in Bianjing, although I earnestly refused, I am afraid that it would be difficult to escape the call-up. Therefore, you must move to the grass house as soon as possible, otherwise the angel will come, and there is no valid reason, how to refuse. ”

Meng Qingyun was simply breathtaking.

For the first time, I saw someone who didn't want to be an official.

She suddenly had a hint of teasing, and said, "Daddy is not afraid of falling apart?" What if the official family is not recruited? ”

Meng Jin showed a "I don't know him yet" expression.

"Look at it, this official...... Humph......"

Then look at it.

This looks like two days have passed.

In smooth water.

The mud walls on the other side of the cottage were dry, and the furniture and cooking utensils were all delivered.

Monzin's luggage was very simple, just a few changes of clothes and two boxes of books.

Originally, he was not allowed to be brought by his subordinates, but Meng Qingyun's words made him dispel this naΓ―ve idea.

"Daddy wants to cook for himself? Do your own laundry? ”

Anyway, I brought a rough mother-in-law to cook and laundry for him; In addition, Zhang Adaa also insisted on accompaniment.

After all, the cemetery is on the mountain, and if a big cat or wolf or something comes out, it is also dangerous.

Zhang Adaa went, and Meng Qingyun was also relieved.

In the early morning of this day, Meng Qingyun instructed the carriage room to set up the car, load all the luggage and belongings, and personally send the three of Mengjin out.

Watching the carriage drift away, even the last shadow disappeared around the corner, and the master and servant turned around and prepared to go in.

At this time, the sound of wheels was remembered behind me, and a carriage drove to the door and stopped.

"Huh? Early in the morning, there are guests coming? ”

Meng Qingyun, Asakusa, and Zijing were puzzled, and Mother Luo from the long room came out from behind them and greeted the carriage.

A noble lady and a young man got out of the car, Mrs. Yongkang Hou and Chen Erlang.

Zijing chirped: "It's really unlucky! Let's go. ”

She took Meng Qingyun and Asakusa by the sleeves and turned around to leave.

Over there, Chen Erlang had already seen them, and he rushed over with an arrow.

"Yuan Niang!"

He stopped in front of Meng Qingyun, looked at her with shining eyes, and said excitedly: "I haven't seen her for a few months, but Yuan Niang has added more style." ”

Meng Qingyun didn't treat him well, and said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for a few months, and you are still virtuous in the past." ”

Mrs. Yongkang Hou also walked over, with the reserve of the elders, and said: "Yuan Niang is now a big person and has a big heart, and she doesn't greet the elders anymore, is this your hospitality?" ”
