Chapter 273: Two hundred and fifty thousand taels!
Meng Ying followed Mei Kejia to prepare to enter the Mei Mansion, and the identity of the girl's family was really an embarrassing problem.
The main reason is that Mei Kejia had a criminal record when he was young, so he liked to buy some beautiful maids, and now he has been away for many years and brings one back, what will the family think?
Hey, Lao Mei has a headache.
But this thought is far less than missing his family.
The so-called hometown is even more timid, and when the carriage really stopped at the gate of Meifu, he didn't dare to go in.
"Master Mei?" Meng Ying called softly, "What's wrong?"
Mei Kejia looked through the gap in the curtain at the word Mei Mansion hanging high and whispered, "Before your father brings back the sweet potato seeds, you should stay here." I'll have someone find you a small courtyard to your own. You don't have to worry about daily use."
Meng Ying was a little puzzled, "Why am I here? The Son of Heaven has ordered my father to make meritorious deeds, and I want to go back to see my father!"
Mei Kejia sighed.
He turned to look at the girl from Fujian. If you look closer, there are actually some small spots under her eyes, which are very tangy, but you can see them. Probably sunburned or something. It's not ugly, actually. It's just a slight gap with the beautiful maid Gu clan he once bought. The Gu clan is about the blood of the Western Regions, and his face is cold and white, without slight flaws.
"Who do you think you're up against? The painting on that piece of embroidered cloth let the Son of Heaven release your father?"
Meng Ying was a little speechless, "But...... You said the Son of Heaven wanted this thing."
"The point is, we didn't bring it. If you really bring it, look at Your Majesty's eagerness, under the joy of Long Yan, don't say let go of someone, even if you give your father an official body, it's no problem."
"Of course I know." Meng Ying was a little anxious, "Master Mei, I'm not stupid. Since I know that the Son of Heaven loves this thing, I must have tried my best to find it, and when the time comes, wouldn't it be better to offer the treasure and receive the reward?"
"That's the truth. But in front of the emperor, you and I don't dare to talk about this truth. Besides, Your Majesty is not familiar with you at all, so he can only do this."
Meng Ying didn't understand, "When did Your Majesty say that you would keep me in Jingshi?" What did I say to Master Mei after I left?"
"No, I said it to your face, but I heard it, you didn't hear it."
Meng Ying was a little unconvinced.
Mei Kejia reminded, "If you are allowed to go, why do you need embroidered cloth as a token? Didn't your father know you?"
"That's the case alone, and Master Mei concluded that His Majesty won't let me go?" Meng Ying opened her mouth and exclaimed, in her opinion, this was too arbitrary.
But Mei Kejia was not moved by her emotions at all, "You still don't know what to be today. Your Majesty thinks about everything with the society of the country and the people of the world first, and what you say and do also have their reasons. If you feel strange about something, don't doubt it, it must have been intentional on the part of His Majesty, and this intention must have some meaning."
"As far as this matter is concerned, if you leave quietly, you will be arrested and not to mention, Your Majesty will also think that my Mei Kejia is not as good as back then, and I can't understand what he means. But even if you stay and feel bitter in your heart, you can't say that."
"Because he is the Son of Heaven?"
Mecojia shook her head, "Because he didn't say to let you stay." Isn't that a slander against the Holy Bow when you say that?"
….
Meng Ying was stunned by this conversation!
"Master Mei!"
Mecojia raised her hand, "I know you don't believe me. But if you think about it, do I have more contact with Your Majesty, or do you have more contact with Your Majesty? If you still believe in me, then listen to me, stay in Jingshi, and wait for your father to come to you with sweet potato seeds."
Meng Ying suddenly felt that the emperor was a little annoying, a child, but her mind was too deep, "Your Majesty...... Why did he do this? If you're not happy, why don't you just reprimand us?"
"What if you reprimand? Your head and my head are worthless to Your Majesty, only that seed is there."
This is what Mei Kejia knows, the emperor with a strong purpose.
Meng Ying couldn't figure it out at all, could this matter still be explained like this? ?
It's over
After a while, Mei Kejia got out of the car.
Mei Huaigu and Mrs. Mei and the whole family were waiting, because there was news in the palace that Mei Kejia had entered Beijing.
The scene of the family reunion is certainly touching.
Mrs. Mei and several female scrolls in the family cried with joy, and Mei Huaigu stood aside with a full tide.
When they talked to each other, and when they saw Meng Ying standing on the side in a blink of an eye, the atmosphere became somewhat awkward.
Mrs. May pursed her mouth, "Master?"
Mei Kejia began to scratch her head.
……
……
It was not only him who scratched his head, but also Yan Song.
Yan Song has already made up his mind to drive Xu Youming and Xu Chang away, he really can't stand Xu Chang's kind of goods, even if he finds someone to help, this person is not qualified.
Speaking of which, this guy has a bad head and lured Jinyiwei to his house.
However, in the story that the emperor needs, these two are his relatives, so he can't do this before the fish is baited.
The torment of waiting was not long,
Two days later, he was approached.
However, to Yan Song's surprise, it was the eight-character shopkeeper of the Sheng family who brought people over! The person who reminded him to stay away from the Zhan clan is now acting like this again!
Yan Song's soul was greatly impacted, how could the real world be like this.
As for the man he brought, his face was long and convex, with a cocked nose and a pouting mouth, a bit like a horse's face, but a little more convex than a horse's face. This person's surname is Fang Mingwen and he is in his forties. Worked in the Ministry of Officials, and his position was Wenxuan Qing Officials Shilangzhong.
Lang Zhong's position is not low among the six ministries, and it is equivalent to the director of a department in today's ministries. Above it is the squire.
Seeing him, Yan Song understood why Zhan Xiushan Hongzhi was a jinshi in the fifteenth year, and he was awarded the Guizhou Shilang Middle School in the household department in the eighteenth year. Because the Department of Literature and Literature of the Ministry of Officials is in charge of the promotion and transfer of civil officials.
The Ming Dynasty is so big, the governor of Zhejiang and Fujian will take it to the Qianqing Palace to discuss it. If not a Langzhong wants the emperor to study carefully, then there is no rule of law in this country.
So in most cases, it is the Anthology Division to fill in a name, and then report it level by level, as long as you are a person who trusts your boss, basically there will be no changes to the things reported, and they can't be changed, because it's too busy.
This is the form of power at this level.
However, compared with Yan Song at this time, he is in a different pattern.
….
Yan Song went straight to the heavens, whether to rise or not to rise is the emperor's words, this kind of person has jumped out of the scope of the Wenxuan Division.
What's more, Fang Wen is asking for Yan Song today.
「…… 200,000 taels," it costs money, Fang Wen knew it, but he didn't expect it to be so much, "Yan attendant, the same dynasty is an official, and they take care of each other. You want so much silver, and no one can take it out?"
Yan Song put his hands on his cuffs, "You ask this shopkeeper, did he accept the silver he gave me?" You go and ask the little thug standing in my yard again, why is he so unhappy, Yan someone came out of a small family, but he was short of money."
"But 200,000 is too much."
"Then it's two hundred and one thousand taels."
Fang Wen's face changed, and he was a little unhappy, "Squire Yan, this is a fall into the well!" We are all children of Jiangxi, and we should advance and retreat together."
「…… It is useless for me alone to save that man. I still have to send someone to others and ask someone to open Chrysostom, the people around Your Majesty, which mouth is easy to open? If the price can't be negotiated, then forget it, and I can have this silver after a few more years. I don't send it."
Fang Wen glanced at the shopkeeper,
The eight-character Hu comprehended, "Master Yan, look at ......"
However, halfway through his sentence, he was rudely interrupted by Yan Song, "What are you? Here's your talk?! Don't think that if you borrow my house for a few days, you will feel that you have been gracious, and I will move out again in a few days. The situation, you go and explain it to your son-in-law yourself!"
Last time he remembered this upset
Guys!
He Yan Song may not have revenge, but he must remember revenge!
The eight-character bearded shopkeeper was suddenly deflated, how dare he go and explain this to Sheng Yi. A jinshi who finally caught up with him, and he also entered the attendant's room, because he was really yellow. Sheng Yi was not allowed to discount his legs.
Fang Wen also accumulated anger in his heart, he had never seen such a person, so he immediately brushed his sleeves away!
When he arrived outside, the eight-character bearded shopkeeper also comforted him: "It seems that Yan Song is also a person with a small amount of knowledge, and he is so arrogant and domineering if he has a little achievement, and he will definitely not have much ability in the future. If he hadn't been so stupid, he wouldn't have dared to ask for a bribe of 200,000 taels just after entering the attendant's room! Fang Langzhong, according to the villain, it is better to make some silver first and use Yan Song to rescue people. As for the future, let's see how he jumps!"
Fang Wen couldn't deny it, but the amount was too big, and he still had to go back to discuss it.
And inside the courtyard, Xu Chang jumped over from the gate with his hands and feet, "Master, they seem to be saying bad things about you!"
Yan Song didn't care, and said calmly, "Well said, well said. They are all dying people, so if they don't hate me, do you want them to be intimate with me?"
"And ...... Remember to stop them next time. Don't let them in, and don't talk to me, two hundred and fifty thousand taels of silver are sold."
"Isn't it 210,000?"
"That door, which used to be easy to enter and exit, is it okay now?"
Yan Song told himself in his heart that he was a close minister of the emperor!
