Chapter 152: The Calm Before the Storm
Meng Xingci became the shopkeeper, and he didn't even go to the county government much, and accompanied Ye Xun in Meng's mansion every day.
"It's not cold yet, but it's cool. Linghuan made a pot, you will eat more later. Meng Xingci looked at Ye Xun with sparkling eyes and said, "By the way, do you want to eat anything else?" I'll let Linghuan do it. ”
Ye Xun looked at her busy appearance and curled the corners of his lips: "With you, even if you eat bran vegetables, I think it is a delicacy in the world." ”
Meng Xingci looked at him with a somewhat strange expression.
Ye Xun asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Meng Xingci was entangled for a while, but still told him truthfully: "Although I am very moved by your love words, can we stop learning from the heroine in the book?" What you said is from "The Rich Daughter's Daughter and My Two or Three Things", right? I remember that the hero is a poor scholar, and the daughter of a rich family has to eat bran with a poor scholar just like having no brains. That's what I said at the time.,As long as you're with the hero.,Even if you eat bran vegetables, you're happy.。 ”
Ye Xun gritted his teeth and looked at her, Meng Xingci touched his nose with an innocent look.
Ye Xun sneered and said, "Meng Xingci, do you know that sometimes I really want to know what is going on in your head?" ”
Meng Xingci tilted his head to look at him: "I'm thinking about you." ”
The coldness on Ye Xun's face suddenly disappeared, the tips of her ears were red, and her eyes looking at her were as gentle as water.
He gently shook her hand, and couldn't help but be happy: "I'm thinking about you too." ”
Meng Xingci quietly gave herself a thumbs up, she is amazing, she can speak love words so fluently without learning a book, she deserves to be the top talent!
Meng Xing said: "It's just Xu Meng, just let someone send it over, why did you come in person?" ”
Ye Xun looked at the hands of the two of them, and said in a low voice: "Yan Huiguan doesn't have much official contact with Hedong, and I don't have much reason to come to see you." But if I leave without permission, I am afraid that I will be said to be in love. Finally, there is a reason to come to the light, how can I bear to miss it? ”
The corners of Meng Xingci's mouth rose uncontrollably, and she also whispered: "Who said you can't talk about love?" It's better than everything I've read in a book. ”
The two looked at each other, and there was only each other in their eyes.
When it was time for dinner, as soon as the pot was served, Ye Xun glanced at Song Nian, Song Nian suddenly understood, and pulled Linghuan away.
"The Lord and the Prince must have business to discuss, let's not disturb them."
Ling Huan asked puzzled, "Why?" Aren't you supposed to stay when they're going to talk about business? ”
"I don't need to, let's go out to eat." Song Nian pulled the reluctant Ling Huan and walked out.
Ling Huan was led out of the door by him, turning back three times in one step, and finally she gritted her teeth and said, "I can't let them stay together, you don't understand, it's not good for the reputation of our adults." ”
Song Nian didn't care in his heart, who wasn't? It's not good for Ye Xun's reputation.
"Alright, let's leave that alone." Song Nian said: "This time I asked Shizi to help me bring some things back to my father." ”
Ling Huan patted his head, "Yes, I promised to make you beef sauce, then I'll prepare it." ”
After Ling Huan finished speaking, he turned around and ran towards the kitchen, and Song Nian breathed a sigh of relief.
Song Nian thought that he had done Ye Xun a great favor, but Ye Xun and Meng Xingci were really talking about business.
"Catching Xu Meng this time is a big blow to Zhao Xuan, and Xu Meng has done a lot of things for Zhao Xuan. I heard that Zhao Xuan was also in Hedong during this time, but I am afraid that the plan is very big, you have to be more careful. Ye Xun said in a deep voice.
Meng Xingci's expression was faint, "I know that if the Shi clan is really pressed, they will deal with me in a row." This time, they let them make up the tax grain, which is equivalent to tearing their faces, and they also know that I am going to re-measure the land, but I am afraid that they are now thinking of a way to deal with me. ”
Ye Xun frowned: "I'll leave you a team of elite soldiers this time." ”
Meng Xing opened his mouth and wanted to refuse, but nodded and agreed.
"Then thank you Shizi!" Meng Xingci clenched his fists and smiled.
Ye Xun looked at the smile on her face, but she couldn't laugh. She's so fearless that nothing can stop her, but what can she do?
Ye Xun didn't stay too long and left the next day.
Meng Xingci began to make the next plan.
At this time in the Wei Mansion, Zhao Xuan sat in the study with a pale face.
"I underestimated her and let her drill Confucius." Zhao Xuan said, a trace of coldness flashed in his eyes.
Xu Meng was arrested, and he not only lost a brave general, but also lost a large amount of grain and grass. What made him even more unbearable was that the batch of grain and grass finally fell into Ye Xun's hands. Ye Xun said to the outside world that he didn't find the stolen goods, so let him carry this black cauldron!
This is something that Zhao Xuan can't bear no matter what.
Wei Hongxing said with an ugly face: "What we lost this time is sixty percent of our harvest, but I'm afraid that Jiangbei will not be able to supply it." ”
Zhao Xuan said coldly: "You can't let the arrogance go down anymore, you go to Bai Weiyi, and Zhuang Zexian, at this time, you have to unite to deal with Meng Xingci, everything else is secondary." ”
Wei Hongxing hesitated and said, "Will they agree?" ”
"You tell them that......" Zhao Xuan lowered his voice.
That night, Wei Hongxing went to the banker's house and the Bai family respectively, and no one knew what he said.
Meng Xingci and Song Nian were discussing in the study, and Jiang Xiaofei came in with a note, "My lord, Master Bai asked someone to send it." ”
Meng Xingci took it and looked at it, and his expression changed. It was Bai Zhilun who reminded her that Wei Hongxing had persuaded Bai Weiyi to put aside the suspicion and deal with her first.
"The Warriors have joined forces." Meng Xingci sighed lightly and said, "It's finally here." ”
"This Young Master Bai is also a decisive person, and he is really ruthless in betraying his family." Song Nian couldn't help but sigh and said.
"The family has never given him warmth, why should he swear allegiance to the death?" Meng Xingci said lightly: "The Bai family is just a smart person. ”
Song Nian glanced at Meng Xingci, and Meng Xingci was really optimistic about this Bai Zhilun.
"Then we're going to be ready to take it." Song Nian said.
Meng Xingci smiled and was full of spirits: "Then are you ready?" Song Xiucai? ”
Hearing this title again, Song Xiucai smiled, with calmness in his eyes: "Just let the horse come!" ”
The warrior clans who have been entrenched in Hedong for several generations have joined forces, this is a duel between the head snake and the strong dragon, and now it is finally about to start the confrontation.
Until all the nobles had paid their taxes and grain, and the grain was piled up in the granary, there was no movement from the scholars.
But Meng Xingci and the others did not let their guard down, they all knew that this was the calm before the storm.
