Chapter 536: The new county magistrate
At that time, in order to teach his son to become a weapon, I don't know how many positive teaching materials were made with Wang Yunxiu's columns! Who knew that after arriving in Qingshui County, I realized that this place was actually the hometown of the young minister!
In order to cling to Wang Yunxiu, the upstart in front of the new emperor, Mei Qingqian doesn't want to rise step by step! But in order for the affairs of the Lu Mansion to live unharmed, I am afraid that when the new emperor will cut the grass and eradicate the roots on a whim!
This is also the reason why his son Mei Renyao is familiar with Wang Zhaojun, who stayed in Qingshui County to take care of business!
"Daddy! I heard Zhaojun say that his cousin and cousin are back, is it Shang Shuling that my father said? ”
Mei Renyao stood in front of his father, looking at his father, who had experienced a lot of vicissitudes this year, and his father had aged a lot since he came here in Beijing! I also felt a little sorry for my father.
Mei Qingqian wore an official uniform, straddled the backyard lobby, and looked at his son who was not too young, and in two years he would be the year of the crown ceremony, and he was still so frizzy! Suddenly, the sword frowned slightly, and he was very helpless! .
This kid is still somewhat tainted by those arrogance in that place in Shangjing! But fortunately, I am still young, my mind is not bad, and this year's changes in temperament have honed a lot! It reassured him a lot.
Hearing his son's words, Mei Qingqian raised his head to look at Mei Renyao after a half-loud groan.
"Have you seen anyone?"
Mei Renyao shook his head, Junxiu's eyebrows frowned, and he strode to the chair next to him and sat down.
"No, I don't think Wang Zhaojun is like a lie, and I don't want to ask him to go out today! They told me to make an appointment another day, but they didn't see any movement in front of the door! I didn't see anyone else, it stands to reason that Zhaojun and his cousin are back, how can they be so quiet? There was no word at all! ”
"Daddy! Do you think we're going to have some gifts to visit tomorrow? Put on the feast again, stammer? ”
"Nonsense! Leave this alone! If it was really Shang Shuling who returned to his hometown, there should be rumors of it! Since there is no news at all now, he must be reluctant to reveal it! If Dad comes to give a gift for no reason, isn't this a good intention? It made him suspicious! Dad told you, don't reveal the matter of the adult's return, don't think too much, and have a good relationship with Zhaojun's child! It's okay to do what you should do on weekdays, and Dad shouldn't know. lest this matter be spread out, and the restless people disturb the silence of the adults. ”
"Oh! Got it, Daddy! But why did Zhaojun and his cousin come back here for no reason? Is there an imperial mandate? Or what are you looking for? Dad, is there something we don't know, will it affect us then? ”
At first, Mei Renyao responded with some pity when he heard his father's orders, but when he thought of the long-famous cousin Zhaojun coming back suddenly, did something happen! It's just that they don't know!
I looked at my father with some worry for a while, the arrogant look on his face was gone, his eyes were slightly wide, and his face was a little pale and he asked worriedly.
Hearing her son's words, Mei Qingqian's thick eyebrows frowned slightly, and her face sank! He turned to look at his son, who was frightened by himself.
"Probably not, although Qingshui County suffered from drought a few years ago, the people were displaced, and it has only begun to improve slowly in recent years. There have been no major cases in Qingshui County, and there have been no rampant bandits, and my father has been trembling and fulfilling his duties in the year he has taken office! didn't do anything to hurt the people, even if he had the emperor's order, he shouldn't have anything to do with his father. ”
"As long as you kid don't mess with me outside! When the academy starts, you're going to study for me, and if you only know how to play as before! See Daddy doesn't break your legs, okay! There's nothing to do with you here, go and say hello to your mother! It's okay to take your cousin and cousin around the county these days and buy something delicious! ”
"Yes, yes, I know Dad! But I don't have any money on me, and I have to spend money on shopping, so remember to give me some money in a moment! ”
Hearing his father's lesson, Mei Renyao stood up and walked out of the door very quickly, turning and going deep into the backyard, so as not to be scolded again for mentioning the silver! Sure enough, I heard an angry roar behind me.
"Mei Renyao, you stinky boy, if you spend money at this rate, your house will be emptied by you sooner or later! I usually don't do anything big, so I don't have to squeeze the money tightly. Starting next month, your monthly money is halved! ”
Hearing his father's roar, Mei Renyao's face wrinkled behind the door, and he stuck his head out from behind the door! Looking at Dad taking a deep breath in the hall, he protested.
"Dad, now that the monthly money has been cut by half, there will be no more halving! What do you tell your son to go out to eat, you asked your son to take his cousin out for a walk, and he doesn't want to give silver! Who wants to, there's no money to go shopping······"
"You stinky boy, you dare to talk back in front of me······"
Seeing his father's angry appearance, Mei Renyao pursed his lips, quickly retracted his head and ran away! While running, I wondered if I could meet Zhaojun's legendary cousin tomorrow, he admired this Zhaojun very much, and the person who his father admired very much was very curious!
I heard that he was the same year as him! Why is he so powerful and has become such a big official in the capital, it seems that he must meet him when he finds time.
The proud Mei Renyao thought of this, and saw a man and a woman walking over in front of him, both of whom were not very old, about thirteen or fourteen years old! He was wearing sky blue clothes of the same color, but one was a brocade robe and the other was a skirt, and there was some similarity between his eyebrows and eyes.
"Cousin, cousin, why did you come out?"
The two are the maiden nephews of Zhao Biyue, the county commander's wife, who specially rushed from Beijing to pay New Year's greetings. He was accompanied by a few servants.
Zhao Biyue's mother's house is not a portal with a high threshold, but she has opened a few shops in Beijing, which can be regarded as a small rich family! Seeing that her family was hit one after another and was relegated to this remote and backward county, Zhao Biyue fell from Mrs. Shangjing to Mrs. Ling of the rural county, and the gap in her heart can be imagined!
I don't know if it's because of the tiring travel, or because I'm afraid of being implicated because of the things in Beijing! As soon as I arrived in Qingshui County, I lingered on the sickbed, and my body plummeted! sent a letter back home, originally thought that his body and bones could not hold on, but who knew that he could hold it up again, and then the Zhao family saw that the Mei family was put in Qingshui County this year and was not implicated, so they sent people from the family to Qingshui County to see the Zhao family!
First, because Zhao was a favored daughter when she was in her mother's house, there were two brothers-in-law on it, and the two brothers knew that the little sister was not in good health! Because the road is far away, the shops in Shangjing also need to be watched, so I can't pull away.
