Chapter 3: The Noisy Little Maiden
Ye Xun looked into Meng Xingci's eyes, she was slightly stunned, and curled the corners of her lips, revealing the shallow sockets at the corners of her mouth.
Ye Xun turned his head, "The last general will see the emperor." ”
"The son of the world doesn't have to be polite." Zhao Jin said softly, he smiled slightly: "The prince came just in time, this is the Tanhualang appointed by me, and today I have named her the county magistrate of Suiyuan County." Ye Xun, I'll leave my Tanhualang to you. ”
Ye Xun said calmly: "The person chosen by the emperor must have something extraordinary. The last general is also looking forward to Meng Tanhua's performance. ”
Ye Xun said it steadily, but Meng Xingci inexplicably heard a sense of provocation. It's the mule or the horse that has to pull it out, and whether she can be a good county magistrate depends on her ability.
Meng Xingci smiled slightly: "Although the lower officials are not talented, the emperor trusts the lower officials, and the lower officials naturally go all out." will not disappoint the expectations of the emperor and the prince, and will definitely return the emperor to a different Suiyuan County! ”
Zhao Jin laughed, his face was full of joy, and he felt that the gift from his imperial chef and kitchen lady was very valuable.
"Okay, it's worthy of being my Tanhualang!" Zhao Jin applauded: "I believe in you." ”
Ye Xun looked at Meng Xingci, who was smiling like a flower, and his eyes flashed.
Hua Mulan disguised herself as a man to serve in the army for her father, buying horses in the east market, saddle sheaths in the west market, bridle hair in the south market, and long whips in the north market.
Meng Xingci disguised herself as a man and went out to be an official, bought soup dumplings in the east market, bought pig's trotters in the west market, bought pastries in the south market, and bought pickles in the north market.
Meng Xingci thought that he had made complete preparations, and with Zhao Jinsheng's two imperial chefs and a cook, plus his own cook, plus the maid guard, a group of people set off towards Suiyuan County.
Zhao Jin didn't leave Ye Xun as a proton in the end, and let him return to Yanhui after he thanked him. However, Ye Xun left Beijing one step ahead of her and did not set off together.
"My lord, we will be in Suiyuan County in ten days, are you happy?" In the carriage, the maid Linghuan was looking at Meng Xingci expectantly.
Meng Xingci nodded: "Happy." ”
"My lord, this is the last piece of pig's trotter. I don't know when I will be able to eat the sixth uncle's braised pig's trotters again, and the slave maid has not yet learned how to do it. Ling Huan sighed and said, "My lord, will you be sad?" ”
Meng Xing's words were perfunctory: "Sad." ”
Ling Huan pursed his lips: "My lord, you will be happy and sad for a while, have you been hit?" ”
Meng Xingci looked at her and smiled: "If you talk again, you won't be able to eat the sixth uncle's pig's trotters now." ”
Ling Huan's eyes widened in horror, and he hurriedly stuffed the pig's trotters into his mouth, in exchange for a moment of peace from Meng Xingci.
But it's only for a moment, the little girl is good at everything, but she likes to be too noisy.
Ling Huan soon began to chirp again: "My lord, why did the emperor let the adult make this Suiyuan County Order?" Is the emperor dissatisfied with the adults and wants to borrow a knife to kill people......"
Meng Xingci looked at her quietly, and the more Ling Huan spoke, the more she felt that this was the case: "Is it that the emperor is afraid of our Meng fame, so he thought of such a way to elevate the adult?" After a pause, she looked horrified: "Marquis Dingyong has a heavy army, and we have arrived at Yanhui Pass like this, isn't it a sheep into the mouth of a tiger?" ”
The more Ling Huan spoke, the more angry he became: "First took away the position of the champion of the adult, and now he is assigned to the adult!" ”
Ling Huan felt that the emperor was simply not human!
Ling Huan alone imagined that his adult was trapped, treated unfairly, and finally abandoned and ended up depressed.
If Meng Xingci didn't open his mouth again, Zhao Jin's reputation would be irretrievable.
Meng Xingci sighed: "You think too much. The emperor asked me to be the county magistrate of Suiyuan County because of the article of the palace examination that day. The previous prefectural magistrate had become an ornament, so he wanted me to try it. After a pause, she defended Zhao Jin with a clear conscience: "It may also be that she has taken a fancy to the talent of your family." ”
Ling Huan was ignorant, but she understood one thing: "Isn't that still going to harm adults?" The previous county magistrate couldn't do it, so why let the adults go? ”
In case Meng Xingci is also set aside, it will only be a loss of an official for the emperor. But for Meng Xingci, what she lost was her official career!
Meng Xingci looked at the little maid and was about to faint with worry, she didn't even eat the snacks, and sighed helplessly.
"That's different, our Meng family and the Dingyong Marquis Ye family are also somewhat related." Meng Xingci said: "Old Madam Ye's maiden name is Xiao, and Old Madam Ye had a talented and glamorous brother back then, who was famous all over the world. It is said that when Emperor Taizu conquered the world, this Xiao Gongzi made great contributions. It's just that later, for some reason, the whereabouts of this Xiao Gongzi are unknown, and he left a letter to Emperor Taizu before leaving Shangjing. In the letter, he vigorously rejected his grandfather, so his grandfather was reused by Emperor Taizu. ”
"Marquis Dingyong has always been stationed at Yanhui Pass and does not interact with people, but Marquis Dingyuan has always respected his wife. The emperor thought that with the relationship between the Meng family and Mrs. Ye's mother's family, maybe my situation would be better. Meng Xingci explained.
Coupled with her article during the palace exam, there is also the fact that the treasury is really out of money, and Zhao Jin is also a dead horse doctor, so she was sent to Suiyuan County.
The origin of the Meng family and Mrs. Ye was inadvertently mentioned by her grandfather, whose grandfather Meng Qingyan was a veteran of the Three Dynasties. Meng Qingyan was the first assistant of Daqi, and successively served Emperor Taizu, Emperor Xian, and when Zhao Jin ascended the throne, the situation was unstable. Meng Qingyan lasted for another two years, and it was not until the year before last that he returned to his hometown.
The Meng family became famous as a result.
"How many years ago was that, what can such an idea of friendship be?" Ling Huan pouted and said.
Anyway, in my heart, I think the emperor is biased.
"Old Madam Ye is not in good health, so the old marquis accompanied her to recuperate in Yunzhou. Yunzhou is the hometown of our Meng family, and now my grandfather is also in Yunzhou, so I have to deal with it. For this relationship, Dingyuan Hou will not do anything to me. Meng Xingci explained.
Ling Huan was immediately comforted, but was excited: "Then the adults should disarm as soon as possible, complete the emperor's task, and we can return to Beijing as soon as possible." ”
Meng Xingci: "......"
Which is so easy, the Ye family has been operating in Yanhuiguan for three generations, and is loved by soldiers and people. She brought a few cooks and a noisy maid, but they were not enough to stuff people's teeth.
Meng Xingci and his entourage finally arrived at Yanhui Pass.
