Who could refuse such a box of gold nuggets? If he didn't want to maintain the character design, Meng Changqing would like to take it over and try how heavy it is.

However, when I thought that this box of gold nuggets had been exchanged for ten years by myself, I suddenly felt mixed feelings.

"Young Master Meng." Father-in-law Qian whispered, "Take it quickly." ”

Meng Changqing took it with both hands and almost hit the ground, she was shocked by the weight again, this must be about twenty catties! No wonder Father-in-law's hands trembled.

Meng Changqing's mind began to count uncontrollably.

Twenty catties of gold, converted at today's silver price, the box of gold in her hand is worth more than 4,000 taels of silver.

She served as the magistrate of Beishan County, and she was earning 30 taels of silver in a month, and the sum of 10 years was only 3,600 taels of silver.

Meng Changqing came back to his senses and immediately returned the brocade box to Gonggong Qian, "Your Majesty, Weichen is bold and wants to exchange rewards with Your Majesty." ”

The emperor was not surprised, "What do you want?" ”

"The minister remembers that His Majesty's Imperial Village will hoard a lot of seeds every year, and I implore His Majesty to give some seeds to Weichen."

"Take it if you want." The emperor said, "Give you two days, how much can you move?" ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Your eyes are almost glued to the gold nuggets, since you are so reluctant, you should take them back."

This time, Meng Changqing knelt sincerely, "Thank you for your grace." ”

Meng Changqing came out with the box of gold, refusing to let others help along the way, she said: "The weight of a person who practices martial arts is nothing. ”

The eunuch who sent her out would naturally send these words to the emperor's ears, and the emperor immediately understood what she meant, "This is too little." ”

Out of the palace gate, Meng Changqing took a hard breath, and he could be regarded as alive.

Chu Mufeng didn't know when he stood in a row with the guards, and when he came out of it, Meng Changqing noticed him.

"Lord White."

"Master Meng, I'm back."

Meng Changqing noticed that he had an extra short sword at his waist, "Is everything okay at home?" ”

Chu Mufeng: "Everything is as usual. ”

Before he could say a few words, he saw Bafang leading horses to stand a little farther away, waving at them constantly.

"Let's go back." Meng Changqing walked briskly holding the box, "Go back for lunch." ”

Chu Mufeng said kindly: "Master Meng, the box in your hand seems to be quite weighty, why don't I hold it for you." ”

"No, no, no!" Meng Changqing immediately refused.

Before she and Chu Mufeng walked to the eight directions, a middle-aged man walked out quickly, and this person looked like a well-dressed subordinate.

There was no need to speak, Meng Changqing also knew who he was, so he couldn't see him, and trotted straight to the horse.

Seeing that she was about to step on the horse, the middle-aged man could only call her, "Master Meng!" Master Meng, wait a minute! The villain is the servant of Zou Shilang of the Ministry of Officials, and he was ordered to wait for Lord Meng here. ”

Meng Changqing asked him as if he had lost his memory, "What are you waiting for me to do?" ”

"I'm afraid my lord forgot, you have an appointment with my family, and my family has been waiting in the teahouse for a long time."

The implication is that if you don't go, I'm afraid it's a little rude.

But politeness can't be eaten.

She was polite to Zou Duyu, and the prince was afraid that he wouldn't even be able to sleep well today.

She still has ten years left in prison, but she must not do anything that will make the prince suspicious of her.

"I didn't expect Your Majesty to summon you alone and keep your family waiting for a long time." Meng Changqing said, "But Your Majesty has explained other things, I have to do it quickly, I can only live up to Lord Zou's good intentions." ”

After that, he rode away.

Bafang and Chu Mufeng didn't react and were left in place by her.

"This ...... What is this called? The middle-aged man spread his hands and looked at the two people beside him, "Two, my adults are still waiting in the teahouse, if Master Meng doesn't go, won't my adults have waited for most of the day in vain?" ”

Bafang ignored him, got on the horse and went to chase Meng Changqing.

Chu Mufeng waited a little longer, "This steward, my lord is going to do the things that His Majesty has explained, the matter is urgent, and I ask Lord Shilang to forgive me, if Lord Shilang is really dissatisfied, you can go to Your Majesty to participate in a copy." ”

"What's that called?" The middle-aged man watched several people leave quickly, and he couldn't hold anything. "What is this called, what is this called!"

It wasn't until he arrived at the door of the house that Bafang caught up with Meng Changqing, "Young master, give me the reins." ”

As soon as Meng Changqing entered from the side door, Dai Dongwen greeted him, "Young master, the eldest young master of the Meng family has come twice, and when I got to the door, I asked if you were there, I said that you haven't come back yet, but he turned around and left without entanglement, but he will come for a ......while."

Before he finished speaking, the guard guarding the door in front came to report, "Young master, acting brother, Meng Xiaole is here again, he came as soon as the young master entered the house, could it be that he is staring at our house?" ”

"There must be people watching, you tell two people to go out and take a look around to see where they are." After Dai Dongwen finished instructing, he asked Meng Changqing, "Young Master, or did you not come back?" ”

"No, just tell him I'm back, but I don't have time to see him, let him fart if he wants."

"Hey!" Dai Dongwen said to the guards of the Meng family: "You go to call someone first, and then go to the door to reply."

Master, I asked the cook to prepare lunch in advance, do you use it now? ”

"Eat now." Meng Changqing called Dai Dongwen, who was going to the kitchen, "Uncle Dai, you can find me a rod and scale first." ”

"What do you call it?"

"Delicate stuff."

"I'll send it to you later."

Over there, Bafang fed the horses with fodder, talked to Chu Mufeng and walked towards Meng Changqing's study.

"Lord Bai, why did you go back one day and look so haggard?"

"I didn't sleep well, there were too many people in the family, it was too noisy."

"In that case, why didn't you come back sooner?" Bafang said, "We have fewer people in our family and more rooms, so how quiet you live here." ”

Chu Mufeng nodded, not wanting to say more.

When the two of them arrived at the door of the study, they happened to meet Dai Dongwen, who had delivered him and had lunch.

Before Bafang could remember to ask what this nickname was for, he was blinded by the bright gold nuggets on his young master's desk.

"Young Master, where did all this come from?" Bafang cautiously touched the gold nugget, "Hey, this piece must weigh a pound!" ”

"Over-weighing." Meng Changqing weighed one by one, and sure enough, each gold nugget weighed about one catty, and there were a total of twenty pieces in the box, which was really twenty catties of gold.

Bafang held a piece in one hand, "Get rich!" We're rich! ”

"You can't make a fortune with this bit of gold." Meng Changqing asked him to put it back, "This is my ten-year compensation...... Ahem, ten years of Yulu. ”

Bafang didn't understand, "Ten years of Yulu? How can I not figure it out? Master Zong only said that your Yulu has been detained for three years, where did you say that ten years came from? ”

"I'll tell you on the way back to Liangzhou." Meng Changqing locked the box and put it away, "Eat first, there are still important things to do after eating." (End of chapter)
