Chapter Seventy-Five: Winter Is Coming
Deeper, Lu Nanfeng didn't dare to think about it, Meng Zhiyi didn't want to admit it, that is, in fact, she trusted him, there was no reason.
Meng Zhiyi heard that Meng Xing was back, changed his clothes and went directly to the study over there.
Meng Xing was meeting with the steward, and she thought about waiting for a while, so she stood under the porch.
Escort Zheng came over and saluted with his fists and asked in a low voice, "Miss, do you know who that elusive secret guard in the mansion is?"
Meng Zhiyi's half face was piled up in the furry collar, and he looked at Zheng Huwei and asked rhetorically, "Did Zheng Huwei find anything?"
Zheng Guard was a little hesitant, but still told the truth: "I fought with that dark guard, and his moves are somewhat familiar, very similar to a person I have dealt with before, but it has been too long, and I am not sure."
"Who is it?" Meng Zhiyi asked.
「. Twenty years ago, there was a young man in Kyoto who liked to wear a mask and travel all over the world to challenge the heroes of the rivers and lakes, and I was challenged too. I remember that battle very well."
"Can you know the word?" The person of twenty years ago should not be Lu Nanfeng, right?
Zheng Huwei shook his head, "I don't know. He is very mysterious, only said that he came from Kyoto, set off a storm in the rivers and lakes, and finally disappeared. Many people tried by all means to find him, but there was no trace."
Meng Zhiyi nodded slightly, "I'm also curious about this person, Escort Zheng found out something and tell me."
"Yes."
"As for the secret guard in the house, it's my uncle's person, so don't worry about it for the time being."
Zheng Huwei looked at Meng Zhiyi in shock, but he was more surprised by Lu Nanfeng, who had never had a sense of existence.
Meng Zhiyi told him this, so that Zheng Huwei could connect Lu Nanfeng with the young man and Kyoto back then, so that he could investigate.
At this time, the door of the study opened, and Qingshan took the lead in walking out, glancing at Zheng Huwei, who had a serious expression and was already standing beside Meng Zhiyi. His brow furrowed almost inaudibly.
"Miss, it's windy outside, why don't you go in?"
"Wait until my dad finishes talking."
Aoyama bowed, "It's over, I'll send a few stewards out."
Several stewards who came out behind him nodded at Meng Zhiyi, and then were sent out by Qingshan.
"Zheng Guard, by the way, also check on the Qingshan steward."
Escort Zheng was surprised again, but quickly recovered, "Yes, Miss."
He always knew that the eldest lady was not as ignorant as she seemed to be, but he didn't expect that she would also notice the master's right-hand man, the Qingshan manager.
Meng Zhiyi walked in, "Dad, this trip has been hard."
Meng Xing sighed, "Zhiyi, aren't you going to tell me where the grain is hidden?" I went to Bei'an County, and although I knew it, I couldn't see so much food, and it was still very empty."
Meng Zhiyi smiled, "Dad just worry about the rice and grain purchased from other places."
"Soon, the rice will be transported back by water, which is faster and safer than taking the waterway."
As soon as Meng Zhiyi heard this, he immediately wrinkled his eyebrows, "Dad, the people of the Xu family or yours, which one can control Cao Yun more?"
Meng Xing was stunned and replied, "Naturally, it's my person, I'm the president of the Chamber of Commerce. Historically, these powers have been in the hands of the president."
Although the Meng family has a lot of decision-making power, in fact, the government also has the right to speak. On the surface, the Xu family and the Zhou family are out of reach, but who can say it behind the scenes.
Meng Zhiyi asked, "Dad, who are some of the important stewards over there?"
"There are Yang Hongbo, Ye Shi, Gu Liang......"
"Wait, Gu Liang? Dad, Gu Liang is a member of the Xu family."
Meng Xing frowned, "Gu Liang has always been a peacemaker, are you sure?"
"Sure." Meng Zhiyi told Xu Guang and Gu Wai about the room.
Meng Xing was shocked, "Xu Guang is dead? Know, these are your ......."
He didn't say it, he should have thought of it a long time ago. It's just that the filter for his daughter is too heavy, and he still didn't expect Meng Zhiyi to plan so quietly, without any blood
stained, and actually got rid of Xu Guang.
It was too easy, and Meng Xing had a little more concern in his heart.
Meng Zhiyi's expression was serious, "Dad, Gu Liang is the Xu family, and he is definitely not a muddy person on the surface. Dad, I want a map of the area around the canal, and I need you to send someone to do a field trip along the river."
"Do you think that all the rice grains in previous years were transported away by Cao Yun?"
"Yes. If all the rice grains were one place, then many things would have been explained." Meng Zhiyi's eyes were obscure.
She seemed to understand why Lu Nanfeng was so forbearant in Jiangnan, why the Zhou family colluded with the imperial court officials, and why the Xu family was so ambitious.
Thinking of this, Meng Zhiyi asked, "Dad, do you really not know anything?"
Meng Xing hesitated for a moment, "I know, it's just that I am just seeking skin with the tiger, and if I am not careful, I will be crushed to pieces, and I don't want to be contaminated with these. Now it seems that it is impossible for our Meng family to stay out of the matter."
Meng Zhiyi didn't know much about Kyoto, but he was not a stupid person, and when he heard Meng Xing be so secretive, he already knew what road the Meng family had embarked on.
This road has to be taken if you don't take it.
Meng Zhiyi gritted his teeth, and there was a touch of ruthlessness in his clear eyes, "Then let the Meng family stand more stable, and if you dare to pull the Meng family into this troubled water, you must also be prepared to be drowned first."
Meng Xing looked at Meng Zhiyi in a daze, and his hesitant eyes gradually became firm, "Okay, you can't hide it, then take the initiative."
Meng Xing remembered the news he had learned recently, as well as the news he had asked someone to find out from Kyoto.
Meng Zhiyi saw Meng Xing and stopped, "Dad, if you have something to say, your daughter can bear anything."
"Regarding Lu Nanfeng's identity, I have checked, his mother moved to Mud Lane more than ten years ago, and I heard that she is from Kyoto. I asked someone to look it up in Kyoto, but some clues disappeared immediately. To be able to be so secretive in a place like Kyoto, I'm afraid the identity is even more powerful than we thought."
Meng Zhiyi nodded, before she asked Dong Solstice to check, and then she thought about it.
Moreover, those who can lead soldiers to raid their homes in their dreams will never have too low an official position.
"Then don't look it up, we just have it in our hearts."
"Then you ....... with him."
"Dad, don't worry, I will handle our relationship well, and the most important thing at the moment is the Xu family and the Zhou family."
"Okay, now you have your own opinions, just know what to expect." Meng Xing was a little melancholy like an old father.
He was a little lost, he didn't know when, he couldn't help his daughter, he couldn't protect her, and even his thoughts didn't seem to be on the same line.
Meng Zhiyi chatted with Meng Xing in the study for a long time, and when he came out, it was drizzling again.
A cold wind blew, making Meng Zhiyi unconsciously shrink his neck.
At this time, she saw Lu Nanfeng holding an umbrella, walking slowly from the hazy mist and drizzle, and she had an unreal feeling.
Meng Zhiyi looked at him straight until he walked in front of him, under the steps.
"It's raining." Lu Nanfeng said.
"Well, this year's drizzle has piled up to the winter entrance, and I think it will snow early this year."
It usually drizzles, but it is not so cold, and the wind is so strong, and the snow is naturally late.
"So cold, still looking forward to snow?"
Meng Zhiyi smiled lightly, winter is coming, will it be far away from the days when Lu Nanfeng and Li?
"Let's go."
Lu Nanfeng stretched out his hand and stopped Meng Zhiyi's shoulder, the two of them held an umbrella, Meng Zhiyi hid in Lu Nanfeng's broad chest, and no wind and rain could penetrate in, so that she was sure that she would be able to survive this winter.
Meng Xing stood in front of the window, watching the figures of the two gradually drift away.
"Avoid your ears and eyes at night, and let Ye Shi come to see me."
"Yes."
The two of them passed by the road leading to the front hall and found that Liu Yun was walking outside with the maid.
"Sister." She saw Meng Zhiyi hurriedly saluting, and it was difficult to hide the anxious look between her eyebrows.
Meng Zhiyi glanced at her, her delicate face under the gray umbrella was thin and yellow, and her eyes were tired.
"What's wrong?"
Liu Yun's lips were straight, and her eyes were red, "My mother, she...... I fell down.". z.br>
"Then you go quickly." Meng Zhiyi said, and then ordered the winter solstice behind him, "You go and call the house doctor to follow."
"Yes." The winter solstice turned his head to call people.
"Thank you." Liu Yunfu saluted, his eyes suppressed with a strong sadness.
Meng Zhiyi twisted his eyebrows, "You go first, you can tell the winter solstice about anything."
Liu Yun left in a hurry.
Meng Zhiyi asked, "Husband, is Doctor Chen back?"
"Nope."
Meng Zhiyi didn't say much, remembering that Dr. Chen Mingming had explained when he took Yueyue's pulse for the last time, her body was almost recuperated, and the medicinal diet would be reduced every other month in the future, so she could eat food with everyone, and there was no need to be taboo over there.
Now that I think about it, it seems that he won't come to show Yueyue in the future.
Zhiyi-in.
Meng Zhiyi waited for the winter solstice to come back and asked, "What's going on in Kunyuan lately?"
"The second master has been recuperating from his injuries, and the second lady is also a lot safer, they all stay in their own yards, but the son is not always at home."
"Why don't you go to Liu Yun's room?"
"I shouldn't have been there, but there have been three times before when the new lady was forced by the second lady to find the son, and every time she comes back, the new lady will be hurt somewhat."
Meng Zhiyi's face turned cold, "Go and order someone to find Meng Lang and let him come to me."
Winter Solstice nodded, and remembered one more thing, "Winter Moon 20 is the girl's birthday, and there is only half a month left, how does the girl plan to spend this year?"
"As always, let's just have a meal together." Meng Zhiyi didn't have much mental energy to go to this, but Xie Shi should be preparing for it.
Winter Solstice stopped talking and went out again.
Not long after, Lu Nanfeng walked in from outside the door, holding a sweet potato in his hand.
Meng Zhiyi tilted his head to look at him, "Is the fawn that my husband promised to carve before?"
Lu Nanfeng came to Meng Zhiyi and sat down, lowered his eyes and began to peel sweet potatoes, "No."
"Don't you want to give it to me?"
Lu Nanfeng opened his eyelids and glanced at her, "Don't worry."
Meng Zhiyi thought that he had guessed that he was just a temptation, so he must have been reluctant to carve. But it doesn't matter.
