"Ah——!h

Before dawn, there was silence all around, and the sixth lady in her sleep suddenly screamed, covering her heart with her hands, and gasping for breath.

It turned out to be a dream.

I rubbed my heart and rubbed my face again, and then I was relieved.

In the dream, Miss Six fell on the couch and tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep. I could hear the sound of patrolling and watching, and it was the second half of the night. She sat up suddenly, lifted the covers, and put on her clothes. Greet Zhen Ping'er and Wang Jin'er to get up. Zhen Ping'er asked, what's wrong? Tang Mei said that she couldn't be angry, and she wanted to go to the governor's mansion to find the person surnamed Mei.

Wang Jin'er said, why should Miss Six go in person for this kind of thing, just let the slave and maid go over and scold her, and ensure that she will not dare to come again in the future. Tang Mei said, and let me ask her a few questions first, if the answer is good, I will give her money to leave Luoyang; If she doesn't answer well, I'll take her away with the one surnamed Su.

Not long after, Tang Mei came to the governor's mansion, and called Mama Wang and Zhu Tao Feng Die, and the six masters and slaves knocked on the door of Mei's room. Mei Ran hurriedly dressed, and as soon as she removed the latch, the door suddenly collapsed, and a group of people rushed in. That Mama Wang bore the brunt of it, and when she entered the door, she dyed Mei with two mouths.

"Shameless little vixen! Seduced a man, and actually seduced someone into someone's house! See if I don't kill you today! ”

While speaking, Mama Wang raised her hand to beat, but she ate two slaps from Mei Ran. Seeing that Mei Ran dared to fight back, Tang Mei beckoned Zhen Ping'er and Wang Jin'er to go together, and the three of them fought Mei Ran one. The space in the house was small, and Mei Ran couldn't open and close the kung fu, so she withdrew into the bedroom, Wang Mama and others chased into the bedroom, Mei Ran broke out of the window and jumped into the yard.

Where was Tang Mei willing to let her go, the six masters and slaves besieged Mei Ran, punching and kicking. Tang Mei also reached out to scratch it, and suddenly Mei Ran took out a golden knife from her sleeve and stabbed it into Tang Mei's heart......

When the sound of bangzi sounded, she was actually asleep, but her soul flew to the governor's mansion and fought with the wild woman surnamed Mei.

Miss Six exclaimed in surprise, causing Zhen Ping'er to trot over and ask what's wrong? Tang Mei said, it's okay, you are busy with you.

I really couldn't sleep this time, the sky was just dawning, Zhen Ping'er and Wang Jin'er had already gotten up, dressed neatly with their hands and feet, and then went to fetch water and boil water. Although they are already big maids with brocade clothes, they are slaves after all. In this cold spring season, they get up early to boil hot water for the young lady, but they wash with cold water.

When the water boiled and mixed with cold water, Zhen Ping'er came upstairs with the washbasin, only to find that Miss Six was gone.

Tang Mei's long hair was above her knees, but she just tied a head rope in the place "level with her waist", and came to the governor's mansion alone. I didn't say hello to anyone, I went straight to the backyard and knocked on Mei Ran's door.

Mei Ran's voice came from the house: "The door is not closed, you can come in directly." ”

Tang Mei pushed open the door and looked into the hall, but she didn't see Mei Ran coming to pick up people, only the sound of folding quilts came from the back room.

Tang Mei walked to the door of the inner room, looked at Mei Ran, and looked at her.

Mei Ran turned around and saw Tang Mei, Miss Six just casually put on a dress, and she was still wearing a nightgown. Mei Ran was stunned for a moment, but after a short time, she turned her head again and put the folded quilt in the cabinet.

After putting the quilt away, Mei Ran came over and looked at Tang Mei with her shoulders in her arms: "The young lady of the Guogong Mansion is really beautiful." It's really not like we can compare to this wild girl. No wonder Su Bottle likes it, I like it when I see it. ”

Maybe Tang Mei has a belly fire, but now she has lost most of it, staring at Mei Ran up and down: "Originally, you and Su Bottle were a couple, weren't they?" ”

Mei Ran turned around to move the stool, and listening to Tang Mei's words, she turned her head sharply: "Don't talk nonsense." The eldest young master of the Su family is a good person, and his vision is also high, he is not something that any woman can look down on. ”

After saying a word, Mei Ran muttered in a low voice and took the bench and put it beside Tang Mei: "Don't affect his reputation because of me." ”

"Who can prove that he is a good man?" Tang Mei looked at the bench and sat down to ask.

Mei Ran sat on the couch: "You can go and ask Lin Tong, isn't he your brother-in-law?" ”

"Forget it, I don't ask, I just trust my eyes." After saying this, Tang Mei was silent.

Mei Ran tilted her head: "I heard that you want to drive him away, are you sincere?" ”

Tang Mei pinched the square scarf in her hand: "He is gone, but it has fulfilled you." ”

Mei Ran shook her head: "No, he doesn't look down on me." ”

"Then why does he take such good care of you?" Tang Mei's eyes moved sideways, not looking at Mei Ran: "He said a long time ago that he wanted me to find something to do for him, and said that it would be good to go to the county to be a small catcher." At that time, I wondered, what is the good thing to catch quickly, it turns out that it is because you are there. ”

Mei Ran stood up abruptly and said, "Ha, you think too much!" Originally, I went to take the bad person exam, and I had already won the ranking, but then the bad handsome man named Tong Yin blamed me for pretending to be a man to deceive him, so he sent me to the county. I didn't tell him about it, it was a pure coincidence. ”

Tang Mei also stood up: "Tong Yin? Who is he? ”

Mei Ran said: "He is the uncle of the Meng family, but I don't know who his daughter-in-law is." I didn't inquire. ”

Tang Mei asked: "Is it a descendant of Tong Xiang?" ”

"Childlike?" Mei Ran shrugged: "I haven't heard of it. ”

Tang Mei smiled bitterly: "You don't know the prime minister of the previous dynasty? ”

"Former dynasty" can refer to the previous dynasty, or it can refer to the era when the previous emperor was in power, just as a son of heaven and a courtier. Mei Ran shook her head, slightly embarrassed, but put on a disapproving look.

Tang Mei remembered something: "You just said that you were going to take the bad test?" Is it the kind of jousting? ”

"Of course, bad people catch thieves all day long, and they wield knives and guns at every turn, this time Tong Yin is going to recruit people who can fight, but those people can't beat me. Even Tong Yin can't beat me. Mei Ran said proudly.

Tang Mei looked at Mei Ran again and felt that she was the kind of person who could see through at a glance.

……

Su Bottle left early in the morning, and continued to go to the yamen of the Criminal Department with Mei Ran to wait for news. But after waiting all morning, I didn't see Xue Shilang.

It's not that Xue Shilang doesn't do things, it's that he's too busy.

The new emperor ascended the throne, and the yamen of the criminal department presented a busy scene, and the people who came and went were in a hurry, and there were many people who came here to wait for news. Everyone sat there with their own thoughts. At noon, Mei Ran ran to the street to buy four pies. The two of them sat in the hall and ate, and they could eat the smell of leeks everywhere.

After eating the pie, Mei Ran lay on the window, looking at the scenery outside the window, her eyes wandering.

Her attention was easily drawn to "things in motion", as she stared at a pair of yellow finches on the branches of the paulownia tree. The male finch was holding a worm in his mouth, approaching the female finch horizontally and handing the worm to the female. But the female ignored the male and moved aside. The male finch refuses to give up and continues to chase the female to feed. Mei Ran thought this scene was very interesting, and beckoned Su Bottle to watch it together.

Mei Ran, this girl, is like a tenacious grass, she has experienced a lot of things, and the old monk also taught her a lot of experience in the rivers and lakes, but her heart is still as pure as water. Perhaps this is the difference between "knowledge" and "understanding". The Master only taught her knowledge, and it did not change her understanding, nor did it change her view of the world.

Her heart is pure, and the world she sees is simple and pure. Pure good, pure bad. Like is like, dislike is dislike, but love and hate are clear. Sometimes, Su Bottle even envied her.

A clerical clerk came to greet him, and Su Bottlemei Ran quickly followed the clerk to Xue Shilang's house.

Seeing Su Pingmei dyed in, Xue Pang put down his hand in Chinese: "I heard that you offended the county order because of this matter." ”

Su Bottle said: "Yes." ”

Xue Pang said: "I don't think you should go back to the county." ”

Su Bottle Mei Ran glanced at each other, Mei Ran smiled, thinking that she had been promoted, but Su Bottle said: "Lord Shilang, don't blame, Su is a person who can't sit still." ”

"Oh?" Xue Pang smiled bitterly and stared at Su Bottle: "I heard that you are from the Tang family?" ”

"Yes."

"Huang Sanlang's matter, is it the Tang family's idea, or your idea?"

"It was the idea of the lower officials."

"Why?"

"In an official tone, it is in response to the call of the imperial court to handle unjust, false and wrongful cases. But in the face of Lord Xue, I still want to tell the truth, I want to make meritorious contributions and seek promotion. But I didn't seek promotion entirely for myself, I didn't have to work so hard anymore because I didn't have to worry about food and clothing. The reason why I want to do this is because I can't get used to this world. ”

Xue Pang smiled deeply: "I don't care what tricks you say, I just watch you do things." It doesn't matter if you sit in the class room or not, just do the things I gave you well. But if you can't do it well, then go back and forth from there. ”

In fact, there is no shortage of criminal departments at this time, but it is not difficult for Xue Shilang to transfer two people from the county, not to mention that Ximen is happy to send these two hot potatoes away, so this matter is very smooth.

Xue Pang sent the two ineffective swordsmen to the county as arresters, and let Su Bottle and Mei Ran enter the Criminal Department, without official positions, they are two swordsmen. However, Xue Pang said that he would be promoted by half a level.

Therefore, Su Bei was promoted from "the deputy head of the Ya of Jiupin County" to "the knife officer of the Jiupin Criminal Department". However, there was a problem when promoting Mei Ran, because the officials said that there was no Mei Ran in the list of Yongkang County's ranks.

Xue Shilang didn't have time to worry about such a trivial matter, so he let his classmate Wailang do it.

The clerk asked Mei Ran what was going on? Mei Ran said that she was the first to get the bad people, and she was transferred to the county by the bad people. Wailang smiled and said, bad people belong to the military department, no wonder they can't be found in the county. Later, the staff went to the military department to look for it, but the military department said that there was no plum dye in the bad character order column.

The staff was a little blindsided. Through Mei Ran's statement, the Ministry of War called up the relevant documents for the selection of bad people, and there was no Mei Ran's name on it.

"What's going on?" The outsider looked angry: "Is it here to deceive the official?" ”
