Chapter 217: Traveling a Thousand Miles

"Don't be polite." Meng Changqing helped the person up, "Have you eaten?" ”

"I haven't eaten yet, and I was rude before the lower official, so I came to see him immediately after freshening up."

Meng Changqing took two steps forward, "I didn't eat either, it just so happened that we went to the front hall to eat together." ”

Meng Changqing had actually eaten, but the other party was polite, she also had to show sincerity, let Xiao Dai prepare the meal again, and she led Qi Ren to the front hall to have refreshments first.

"Liangzhou is not as good as the capital, and it is not as good as Brother Qi's hometown, the diet is monotonous, the climate is dry, and I was very unaccustomed to it when I first came." Meng Changqing said, "If Brother Qi has anything uncomfortable here, he must tell me, and within my ability, I will definitely solve your worries." ”

Qi Renli put down the teacup, "Thank you, Lord Meng." His throat was still a little hoarse, and when he was about to say something more, the voice of his entourage came from the door, "Young master, I brought your clothes." ”

Qi Renli felt inexplicable in his heart, what clothes? It's just that before he could ask, Meng Changqing, who was on the main seat, said, "Take it in, and wait for your young master to change it in the room." ”

Meng Changqing stood up and said: "The official uniform is not as warm as the cotton jacket and fur, since we have officially met, it is better to change into your own clothes and be more comfortable." ”

"Lord Xie Meng is considerate."

During the period when Qi Renli was changing clothes, dinner was delivered, although it was not as delicate and delicious as the capital, but it had already had as many tricks as possible.

When Qi Renli came out after changing his clothes, Meng Changqing told him about his residence again.

"During this time, I will live in the yamen first, and I have sent someone to build your residence in the future.

You can rest assured that the money for the house is from the yamen, but now that the weather is cold, the construction period will inevitably be extended, and you can explain to the foreman what you think about the house during this period. ”

Qi Renli was moved, "The ability of the lower officials to meet you is really a blessing from the cultivation of three lives." He said sincerely to the table full of food, "In the past, I only heard people say how difficult officialdom is, but after I was on the list, I sharpened my head and couldn't squeeze into the officialdom, until I met you, and since that day I talked with you in the teahouse, Xia Guan only felt that he had a narrow vision and a narrow heart.

Qi Mou can wear an official uniform, and the lower officials claim to be all thanks to you, and now that you are here, you take such care of me again, Qi Mou has nothing to repay. ”

"Needless to say, it's important to eat." Meng Changqing served him vegetables, and said in his heart that he was so grateful now, but he might not be able to do so in the future.

After Qi Renli ate something and the movement of picking up vegetables was not so fast, Meng Changqing tried to chat with him, "What happened on the road before?" Why are you like that? ”

Qi Renli took a sip of soup before replying: "You don't know, since the teahouse separated, I have been waiting for your news, but there is no news from the ministry, so I heard that you were injured to save people."

I was going to come to visit, but I didn't want to go out that day with the gifts, but I received a message from someone else, asking me to go to the ministry, saying that my letter of appointment had come down, and the official who sent the letter was urgent, so I had to take my things to the ministry first.

I know that it must be your recommendation that I can receive an appointment from the imperial court.

I went to your house after leaving the ministry, but I heard the housekeeper in your house say that you were critically injured, and you went out of the city gate early to Liangzhou to find a good doctor for treatment.

The housekeeper learned that I was the county man you recommended and was going to Beishan County, so he said that there were still things you left behind at home, and he asked the dart bureau to escort him.

I thought to myself that I had never been to Liangzhou, and I often heard people say that it was not peaceful here, so I cheekily asked the housekeeper in your house to let me go with the dart board. ”

Meng Changqing listened carefully throughout the whole process, and added vegetables and soup to him from time to time.

"Out of the capital, it was a peaceful road, but when I arrived at the junction of Hongzhou and Liangzhou, I met a thief, and it was night.

It's all my fault, it's because I often sleep outside in order to speed up the trip, so I'm targeted by thieves.

They robbed at night, but fortunately, the dart masters of the Xingwei Dart Bureau were strong in martial arts, so that they could repel the thieves and protect the safety of people and goods.

I thought that after that fight, the thieves must know that they were weak and did not dare to attack, but I never thought that we had already entered Liangzhou, and when we were about to arrive in Yangmen County, the gang came up again, and their numbers were more numerous than before, and they were more ruthless than before. And when he saw the intention of the people to protect me, he set his heart against me. ”

Speaking of this, Qi Renli sighed deeply, "If it weren't for Xie Dart's repeated rescue, I'm afraid I would have already met the King of Hades." ”

"What happened to the thieves?" Meng Changqing asked.

"Coincidentally, when the two of us were fighting, there happened to be an official from Liangzhou Mansion passing by, and those people saw this, and immediately ran away, and the dart master wanted to guard the goods and did not chase them, so they fled."

"It's good that people are safe." Meng Changqing patted him on the shoulder, "It's not as safe as the capital here, but you're also burdened by my goods because of this, I'm really sorry." ”

"No, no, no, I'm naked, if ......"

Meng Changqing skipped this topic and asked him if he was full?

Qi Renli nodded and said, "Thank you for your hospitality, the lower official has already eaten." ”

Meng Changqing asked people to clean up the table and replace it with hot tea, "Last month, I was only in a hurry with Brother Qi, but I worked you to travel thousands of miles to Beishan County, if I don't say anything about it, then I am really wrong." ”

"Xia Guan thinks that everything cannot be generalized." Qi Ren said, "Although I have known you for a short time, I know what one person thinks and thinks from what he says, I admire your personality and marvel at your thoughts, which has nothing to do with how long you have known each other." ”

This is too related, Meng Changqing thought in his heart, but he smiled decently on his face.

"Since Brother Qi said so, I should also tell you the truth."

"Speak, please."

"You're not good at Beishan County." Meng Changqing's first sentence was the point, and the smashed Qi people were all raised.

"Along the way, you should have seen what is the situation in my Beishan County, it has so many people in total, even if I can toss it again, just rely on these people, the waves that can be tossed are really limited."

"Since Xiaguan has come to Beishan County, he is prepared in his heart, and I will fully support you to develop and grow Beishan County."
